And its another site for escorts haha i know some who advertise on there (as a regular jane) and after a few convo will hit you with a quote.
Has anyone here had experience with AshleyMadison.com? I used to think it was a dating site like Match.com but upon closer look it looks like a site for people to have affairs--like adultfriendfinder.com. Is it really worth it or just hype?
They have been featured on many news broadcast. I have provided you with the links below. I'm not married, and I'm on that site just to get laid. There are a lot of desperate women out there that need this, and I am here to satisfy their fantasies. Now, the selections aren't really that great. Yes, the majority of the women are in their middle ages, some are not. Some are good looking, but, the majority of them are okay. My overall experience with this site, I would give it a 7/8. Most of these girls want me for emotional support, and I'm there to just get laid. Hey, you gotta give some to get some, but, it's free.It works bro. You should try it out. They've been around now for sometime. Check out the news for yourself, and it's a video and manuscript news.http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/41583762/ns/business-us_business/t/cheating-inc/http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2010/04/20/nbc-infidelity-site-ashleymadisoncom-advertise-marriage-ref-seinfeld/http://www.nypost.com/p/entertainment/tv/nbc_wanted_cheating_website_to_advertise_65v6WLHZ725fYWXxOFpBWP
Thanks for the information MacDonald. I appreciate the insights.
I tried this and a variety of other Sugar Baby/Sugar Daddy sites a few months ago. It was a waste of time.
As a guy you pretty much have to post a picture and it will run you a few hundred to contact people, etc. but there are a lot of married women on the site that. Want to have an affair. And a lot just want to meet for sex. Feel free to message me if you want more details but it does work!
And its another site for escorts haha i know some who advertise on there (as a regular jane) and after a few convo will hit you with a quote.
Those sites are loaded with fake pics all kinds of deception. On TER, if somebody is trying to take advantage, then reviews by legit handles will catch them. IMHO, if your looking for fast fun with no obligation then there is no better site then TER. If you don't have the coin for TER, then you might want to try, but you will work your ass off with tons of emails and phone calls before the girl will meet you in person.
It's fucking worthless and I tried for a few months. Way too much effort so I just hobby and the results are nearly foolproof if you do your research. AM is worthless as tits on a bull.

Abnormal Hepatic Function Overview
Another name for Abnormal Hepatic Function is Liver Disease.
What is liver disease?
A person with liver disease has a liver that does not function properly. The liver helps convert food into energy, helps digest food, and removes toxins, such as alcohol, from the bloodstream. The most common type of liver disease is inflammation of the liver, called hepatitis. Liver disease may also be caused by toxins or medications. Cirrhosis is a term used to describe liver failure due to liver disease.
What are the symptoms of liver disease?
Symptoms of liver disease include weakness, fatigue, nausea, anorexia, vomiting, abdominal swelling, right upper abdominal pain, jaundice, brown urine, and fever.
How does the doctor treat liver disease?
Treatment for liver disease depends on the underlying cause. Treatment may include avoiding alcohol, a liver disease diet, vitamin supplements, and caution when using medications that are broken down by the liver. Surgery may be required to control bleeding complications of cirrhosis.

Mike Jenkins will spend four to six months rehabbing his right shoulder following surgery, but Jerry Jones believes he'll be ready to begin training camp on schedule with the rest of the team.
Not that it says much, but Jenkins was the best cornerback on the Cowboys' roster in 2011, despite being hampered by a veritable cornucopia of injuries. He missed most of training camp and all of the preseason with a stinger. He played in the season opener against the Jets, and quickly suffered a left shoulder injury.
Jenkins missed four games in the middle of the season with a hamstring issue, and suffered a dislocated right shoulder in the Cowboys' first meeting with the Giants. He then aggravated that injury in the season finale, after which it was clear that he needed surgery.
Despite all this, Jones believes Jenkins will be available, if not at 100 percent, when the team begins organized team activities (OTAs) in July.
"I don't at this time have him down as a concern of what we want to defensively during the off-season," Jones said, per the Dallas Morning News.

Our lawyers have settled or taken to trial scores of herniated disc injury claims throughout Maryland. I think our law firm has a great feel for how to maximize the settlement and trial value car accident herniated disc cases. In the box to the left is specific information on the statistical value of herniated disc cases. But your case is different because there are so many factors in each particular case that do not lend themselves to falling into a single statistical category. Below is more information on the science of how disc injuries occur and some of the nuances in handling herniated disc injury lawsuits:
What is a herniated disc?
Discs in the spine are the cushions between the vertebrae of the spinal column. Discs act as shock absorbers between the vertebrae. Their primary purpose: providing padding for the all of the moves and contortions we make over the course of a day. Spinal discs have an outer covering with a liquid substance in the middle. One metaphor that resonates with juries is herniated disc jury trials is that discs are like jelly donuts. If a disc is injured as the result of the trauma of an auto accident, the "jelly" may leak out of the disc. If the inner core of the disc extrudes back into the spinal canal it may impact a nerve root. The weak spot in a disc is directly under the nerve root and a herniated disc can put great pressure on the nerve, which can cause pain to radiate throughout the person's body.
What is a herniated disc case worth by settlement or at trial?

- Truck Accident Disc Cases
- C4/C5 and C5/C6 Cases
- Case Value Overview
Because our Maryland auto accident lawyers have successfully tried a number of herniated disc cases and have received national exposure for our jury verdicts in these cases, our lawyers are often asked my other attorneys and victims to give an estimation of the value of the herniated disc case they have. The box to the right has some more detailed information on the average value of herniated disc cases for settlement and trial. But, truthfully, the cliche "every case is different" holds with particularly force here. Herniated disc injury lawyers need to look as a multitude of factors to determine the value of a particular case.
Certainly, the among the toughest cases to handle are preexisting injury cases. We use a number of tactics – many derived from the teachings of David Ball and Don Keenan – to try to use prior injuries – particularly preexisting degenerative problems such as spinal stenosis, osteoarthritis, and spondylolisthesis. While there is no question that these discs often become more rigid and compromised with age and wear and tear, this is just the beginning of the inquiry as to whether the accident caused serious injuries to the plaintiff.

The Ravens solve a major problem on the offensive line, but problems still remain
Ozzie Newsome engineered a major upgrade to the Ravens' struggling offensive line with a rare, in-season trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars to obtain starting left tackle Eugene Monroe. And he did it without a major impact to this season's cap number! The Ravens get the Jaguars best offensive lineman, a healthy four-year starter just coming into his prime for the bargain price of $500,000. That's six figures, not seven. I don't know how Ozzie pulled this off, but he also talked the Jags into picking up the remainder of Monroe's contract, to the tune of $2.35 million.
Media reports indicate this was the first in-season trade ever made by Ozzie Newsome, and it was a doozy.
This deal is not without short and long term implications for the team. First, it certainly means that Bryant McKinnie's days with the Ravens are numbered, perhaps in the single digits. Due to Monroe's unfamiliarity with the playbook and blocking schemes, McKinnie may start this Sunday in Miami but I fully expect that will be the last time we see #78 starting at left tackle.
Based on his performance this season fans may be justified in saying good riddance to a lineman who treats run blocking like contact dermatitis, but we can't forget that the insertion of McKinnie at left tackle last year, after Jah Reid's leg injury necessitated moving Kelechi Osemele to guard, was a major factor in stabilizing the O-line for the Super Bowl run.
Monroe's signing will help, but not solve, the Ravens' other problems on the offensive line. It appears that Gino Gradkowski is on a steep learning curve at center. Both Osemele and Marshall Yanda have oddly struggled at times, and Michael Oher has flat lined at right tackle. And our best blocking tight end, Billy Bajema, was cut to make room for Moore.
The Ravens will give up their 4th and 5th round draft choices next year, a more than fair price for a first string "blind side" left tackle. Because the Ravens will receive several compensatory picks due to the losses of Ed Reed, Paul Kruger, and Dannell Ellerbe, they will still retain draft picks in those rounds.
Finally, Monroe is scheduled to be a free agent next year. Since this front office rarely engages in short term thinking, one has to believe that a long term contract to retain Monroe's services is in the Ravens plans. And the sooner, the better. Other Ravens who hit the open market will be, among others, Dennis Pitta, Arthur Jones, and Ed Dickson.
For the last one don't say it, I'll do it for you – good riddance!
While bringing Monroe on board is great for the team short term, signing him for the long haul will have implications for the Ravens' cap situation since, in addition to our impending free agents, several veterans will get significant salary bumps next year. The cap issue is further complicated by the fact that the NFL is not expected to significantly raise the salary cap until new TV contracts are finalized in 2015.
Ozzie, Eric DeCosta, and Pat Moriarty will have their hands full next offseason.
Other Issues
Where do I start? Time and space won't allow a complete airing but here goes….Total absence of a running game (Eugene Monroe, here's hoping you can pull and lead like your HOF predecessor, Jonathan Ogden), injuries and lack of consistent playmakers at wide receiver, lack of a tight end who can hold onto a thrown ball, injuries in the defensive backfield, and a totally unimaginative offensive game plan.
I'm certain all of these issues will eventually be resolved, but the season is now at the quarter pole and the Ravens still have to endure the rest of an imposing schedule; a slate of games against a tough NFC North division featuring three legitimate playoff contenders, and five games within the AFC North – none of which will be easy. I don't care if Ben Roethlisberger says Pittsburgh is the worst team in the league – they're still the Steelers. And who would have predicted that the Browns would be 3-2 at this point after trading their best offensive threat? No weak sisters in this division.
This Week
The Ravens walked into Ralph Wilson Stadium last week looking for easy pickings and got their heads handed to them by a young, energetic Bills team who were looking to make points against the defending Super Bowl champions. Listening to some of the media bobble heads, I'm surprised that Joe Flacco hasn't been blamed for the government shutdown and work furlough yours truly is experiencing. I could not imagine Flacco playing any worse, even though two of those five picks bounced off his hands-of-stone receivers to Buffalo defenders. Everything that could have gone wrong on offense did.
Miami fared just as badly if not worse. The Fins and their 3-0 record went to the Crescent City last Monday night and their new, improved defense was taken to the cleaners by Drew Brees and the Saints, 38-17. And It wasn't that close.
The Ravens have lost four straight regular-season road games despite winning playoff games in Denver and New England last year on their way to the Super Bowl (you can look it up). Miami has won three in a row at home and is looking for its first 4-1 start since 2003. It won't happen.
Flacco and the offense will rebound and the defense, particularly Elvis and T-Sizzle, will make life miserable for Ryan Tannehill. Ravens to cover and win by a score of…
Ravens 30, Dolphins 17

We picked this up from B&Q and it was priced at just under £10 for a 400ml can of gloss. It is widely available from most DIY stores for a similar price too.
The first thing you need to do is ensure that the radiator is cleaned down of any dust or dirt and then cover up any surrounding areas (to stop the gloss getting on the walls behind). The radiator also needs to be cold. Then give the can a really good shake, for around a minute, be warned though inside the can is a metal ball which rattles when you shake it which can get a little annoying. Holding the can around 25cm away from the radiator and start to spray and a sweeping motion, up and down. I would recommend practising on an old piece of wood or metal to start with as this gives you an idea of how many times you have to go over the same area and ensures you don't apply too much.
I must admit, the spray does seem to give off quite a lot of fumes, so I would recommend making sure the room is well ventilated when using it. On the back of the can, it is also recommend that you use a face mask whilst using too.
What I like about this is that within 30minutes, I can apply another coat whereas with normal gloss, I find I have to wait at least 24hours before reapplying (even with quick drying ones). After the first coat, I must say that it doesn't look like it is covering very well however on the second coat, the coverage improves greatly. I found that I needed to apply three coats to get the perfect finish.
Unlike normal glossing, there is no need to sand down or prime the radiator before using so this is certainly a time saver. Ronseal claim that this resists that 'yellowing' that normal gloss has, I cant really comment on this we only did the decorating back in October.
When I had finished using this, the radiator looks fantastic, it had a really glossy and streak free look to it, no runs, lines or dribbles. I would recommend this and I will definitely be repurchasing some the next time we decorate. This gets 5 out of 5 stars from me.
Our Requirements
Last week we had our old standard radiator taken out and replaced by a new stylish looking vertical column radiator in a different area in our bedroom. The reason for this was so that we could really maximise the space that we have and make it look as up to date as possible. We ordered our radiator (which was a bit of a saga) and then got our regular local plumber round to fit the new radiator.
It seems to Rick and I that pretty much everything in our house was bodged and done 'on the cheap' by previous owners. All of our pipes are really small and thin, and as a result I have learnt the word 'microbore' since living in our house. Everybody that mutters this word then goes into a mini rant on how rubbish it is. Essentially what I have learnt is that nobody has a good work to say about microbore and that it is really small thin pipes that are cheaper, but, cheaper for a reason as they clog up easily due to their size. On the recommendation of our plumber we got him to upgrade the pipes in our bedroom to standard copper pipes. and have them go under the floorboards after we took then up to prepare it for him to save a bit of money.
After 5 hours work our plumber left us with a lovely installed new radiator. We are still waiting for the old radiator to be taken away! With the new copper pipes poking out from the floorboards next to the skirting board. The copper really stood out and we had not really considered that we would need to pain these, so, off to B&Q we went.
Our Purchase
Before going into B&Q I had presumed that there would be quite a variety of different radiator paints. I had even said to Rick "Do you think we should get white or magnolia" before getting to the shop. For some reason I though there would be a whole variety of different coloured paints for radiators. Boy I was very wrong. Perusing the paint aisles of our local B&Q store there was literally only a couple of options. I think there was just the following available in the store we were in: •250ml Ronseal white radiator paint primer - I done really understand why anyone would buy this - the primer was the same price at £8.98
•250ml Ronseal One Coat Radiator paint in white - available in silk or gloss finish. We bought the silk finish. Both Gloss and Silk finish were the same price at £8.98
•750ml Ronseal One Coat Radiator paint in white - also available in either Gloss of Silk finish at £16.47 per tin
•Spray Radiator Paints - I think these were of similar prices or higher than the paints. These sprays were only available in white. To me the spray option seemed far too messy of an idea!
Knowing that we only needed a fairly small amount we bought this Ronseal 250ml One Coat Radiator Paint. To be honest I do think that £8.98 is quite a lot to pay for this really quite small tin but we had no other options if we wanted to get rid of the ugly copper.
Technical Specifications
•Brand - Ronseal
•Colour description - Brilliant white
•Surface Finish - Satin or Gloss available
•Coverage - 250ml tin - 2m²
•Drying time - 1hour touch dry, re-coat after 16 hours if required, leave 24 hours before turning the radiator back on
•Washable - Washable
•Location - Interior, all household radiators
•VOC description - High
•Application - Brush
•For use on - Radiators primed, factory finished, and previously painted radiators
•Clean Up - white spirit or paint brush cleaner
First of all I prepped my area quite carefully. Having just painted the wall where my old radiator was and the nearby skirting boards I feel a little bit of a pro at painting and so I had most things I needed to hand. I pulled up the carpet and underlay which was already loose after having our radiator fitted. I then put down a dust sheet to protect the floor from any mess. I opened the tin of paint up with a screwdriver. In the past with some pain tins I have struggled to open them but I had no problem with this one thankfully. Knowing that I had a fair bit of painting to do I had bought a 10 piece set of paint brushes when I bought this paint and I used the smallest brush in this set at 1/2 inch to paint the copper pipes I wanted to cover.
Coat One
With this tin of Ronseal Paint being called 'One Coat' yes of course I had hoped that my first coat would be my last but sadly not. Applying the first coat I was surprised to find that the paint really slid around on the metal pipes and didn't give a great coverage at all. Essentially after applying my first coat I feel like I had a brown / white marble effect. It was at this point I wondered if a primer was a good idea, not that I am 100% sure what I primer is. However, the tin does say that no primer is required. After finishing off my first coat of paint I left it to dry feeling quite disappointed with the product. With the drying time in between coats 16 hours I thought it would take forever to finish painting these pipes and to get our carpet back down.
Coat Two
Applying the second coat was really nice and straight forward. I had left the dust sheet and everything in place and wrapped the paintbrush in some cling film so applying the second coat took no real prep. The paint was a lot nicer and easier to apply on the second coat as compared to the first. It covered much more evenly than the first although it still didn't look brilliant as it was still a little bit smeary with lighter patches.
Coat Three
One day later I was getting increasingly more irritated with our carpet being pulled up as was Rick. Dodging the grippers in the doorway getting in and out of our bedroom was annoying and I was really ready for a final coat. Applying the third coat was again really nice and easy. At no point did I have any problems with drips or any little splatters. The third coat actually gave brilliant coverage. It applied smoothly and evenly and gave a nice consistent colour all over. Finally I could put my carpet back after waiting for the paint to dry.
The paint can details that this paint dries to touch in 1 hour. I would say that 1 hour is a little optimistic. I would say that after 1 hour the paint feels really very tacky and not safe to be touched with the potential for ruining the finish. After about 2 hours it is a fair bit safer. I left it around 4 hours after applying my final coat before putting the underlay and carpet down before I went to bed. By this time it certainly felt alright to do this. The tin also details that you should wait 16 hours in between coats. I waited 24 hours in between coats as I did it after work each day and for me this worked well.
General Points & The Finish
This paint certainly does have a smell! I found this paint quite similar to standard gloss paint because it takes an age to dry, brushes need to be washed in white spirit or a special solution, and, it really has a smell to it. Even though I only used a really small amount of this paint the smell was still noticeable in our bedroom. However, I found that leaving the window and door open a little throughout the painting process it wasn't unbearable. We were actually able to sleep in our bedroom still after using this paint on our radiator piping, whereas this wasn't possible without issue after painting the skirting board. This paint was also quite a bit like gloss in its application because the brush strokes have a tendency to show up. I didn't find this too much of a problem though and just ensured that coat 3 was applied with vertical stokes. I would image that using this on as whole radiator the brush strokes showing up would be a bit irritating.
The finish of this paint is really quite nice in my opinion. I like how the white is really quite nice and bright making the finished look modern. To me the white is clean and fresh, yet, as we choose the 'silk' finish it is not too shiny and so it doesn't stand out in the room.
I am pleased with how our radiator has turned out. At first the copper pipes poking though our carpet were pretty ugly but this paint enabled me to make them far more attractive and for the pipes to blend in. I am disappointed with the lack of selection of radiator paints available and I find them overpriced. I have not even used a tenth of the paint in the 250ml tin so a smaller pot for sale for me would have been better bit I guess we have it in the shed if any radiators need touching up in the future.
I found this paint pretty easy to apply with no drips or splashes. However, it is called 'One Coat' and I needed 3 coats, but covering up copper with white I guess 3 coats is not too bad. Also I like the clean smooth finish that this paint gives. As a result I guess yes I would recommend this paint. However, with no real competition on the DIY store shelves I don't see there are many other options but to use this particular paint.
This appears to be acrylic. Difficult to apply and very poor finish. I had to sand back down to the previous paint layer and substitute an oil-based enamel from a different manufacturer. This stuff went in the bin. Definitely not recommended.
We recently moved house, and like most of you know its one of the most stressful things anyone can do! But, biting the bullet, we decided to decorate straight away instead of doing it bit by bit. The new house we moved into certainly needed decorating, and the radiators paint had been chipped and scratched.
I headed down to the local hardware store to look for our decorating supplies, and came across this Ronseal radiator paint. it looked quite good and came in a purple and white tin which was 750ml, more than enough to cover six radiators.
The product is available in white and satin, but I opted for the white. The 750ml tin only cost £5.99 which I thought was quite cheap considering the price of some of the similar products available, which went up to about twenty pounds!
A soon as we got in, I cracked open the tin to start work. i used a standard paint brush as it has easier to paint it with. The product covered very well to start with which I was very happy about, but quickly realised that it was going to need two coats. Perhaps is was just me being picky, but I certainly was not happy with leaving just the one coat on it, as it did not look as even as I would have liked.
The product boasts a drying time of only two hours, but it was more like three. The paint also has a heat resistant enamel finish, perfect for radiators that are on all the time!
All in all, the product did do the job very well, and gave my radiators a high gloss which look really nice and clean, but it did take two coats to cover them properly. I would recommend this product if your radiators need a paint, but just be aware it will take a little longer than the product states, other than that a great product!
I used to find Hammerite hard to work with and thought I''d try this; well, its worse! Coverage is poor leaving it wishy-washy even after 3 coats and the satin finish is naff (looks like I intended to use gloss and used undercoat by mistake). Its goes semi dry so quickly you have no chance to retouch an area if you missed it or spot a run; if you try, you get lots of small lumps breaking away which ruin the sheen. I have about half a tin left which is going up to the tip at the earliest opportunity.
Having been in my flat for around a year now I decided that it was about time to touch up the radiators in our flat. Some of them had a few scuff marks and they were all looking a little yellow and I thought a nice coat of paint would freshen them up.
Down at my local DIY centre I went and on a recommendation from my Father I picked up Ronseal Stay White Radiator paint. One of the big things that appealed to me so much about this paint was the fact there was no need to prime the radiators before applying the paint. I can find painting quite a chor so decided that this was a good time saver. The paint also boasts a non-yellowing formula and the fact that the main reason for painting them in the first place was the yellow tinge this product seems like a winner.
I applied the first coat to the radiators and left it to dry for at least the recommended drying time, which I believe is 30 minutes touch dry and 6 hours for applying the second coat. Again for me another big bonus as some of the other paints I looked at had a drying time of 16 hours. This meant that I could get the radiators all done in one day just about. I then applied the second coat, which was definitely required. The second coat ensured there was a nice even finish once dry.
I am very happy with the results and I now have clean, bright white radiators. A 750ml can of this from B&Q will cost around £15. The 750ml can covers 15m2 apparently. I haven't measured my radiators however I painted 3 radiators and have about a quarter of the tin remaining.
It gets the thumbs up from me.
We have a normal hot water central heating system with wall mounted radiators as the heat emitters. Although we have decorated the house many times I confess I have done little to the radiators themselves. They may have had the occasional lick of paint but little else. However, it is clear that our predecessors in the house painted them far more regularly, judging by the evident multiple layers of paint that have built up.
Our recent redecoration of the kitchen got me decided to do something about it so I removed the radiator from the wall and set about stripping the old layers of paint right back to basics. For this I used a tried and trusted bit of kit - the Scotch-Brite Clean and Strip disks in a rotary drill.
Having got right back to bare metal it was then time to decide what to use to repaint it. A trip to B&Q uncovered Ronseal's Stay White Radiator Paint. This seemed to tick all the right boxes. The tin stated "No primer required" and that it was for "...previously painted radiators..." which mine are. Nowhere does it state that the paint shouldn't be used on bare metal.
I was a little concerned, however, when I read the brush cleaning instructions. It stated that only water was required. This implied to me that the paint is water based rather than spirit based. Now, I always thought that steel and water didn't mix! However, I assumed that Ronseal knew what they were talking about. A 750ml tin cost a not inconsiderable £15, or just under. I bought one.
I applied a first coat and then left it for the recommended period time before applying the second (and last). When I came to examine it it was clear that bubbles of rust has formed beneath the surface. I was not a happy bunny.
I took photos and contacted Ronseal Customer Care, sending them copies of the pictures I had taken. Their response was to state that if I had stripped the radiator back to bare metal then it would require a primer before using their paint. I asked them then why the tin stated that no primer was required. They huffed and puffed about this and offered me a replacement tin in compensation. After these experiences, another tin of this paint is the last thing I needed!
So, I am now faced with once again stripping the radiator and starting all over again. Next time I will be using Hammerite, which I happily see recommends brushes be cleaned with white spirit!

Allison R.wrote a review of Patagonia Super Alpine Bib Pant - Women's on March 16, 2012
One slight flaw
I loved these pants! I was looking for gore-tex pants that would be most versatile for layering options since I do both backcountry and resort snowboarding and that weren't really bright or "girlie" in color. Let me tell ya, that's hard to find, especially since I'm an XS so can't wear men's pants. These were as close as I could get and the bibs were a fabulous bonus, keeping snow completely out when I'd fall. But, I ended up returning them because the front zipper just wasnt long enough and It busted out when I was trying to get the pants off and on. I have small hips and once on, they were on the baggy side if anything so it wasn't a sizing issue. I suppose if you're ok unzipping the front, pulling off the suspenders and then unsnapping the sides and unzipping both side zips every time you were putting them on or off you'd be fine.

W.H. denies ending 'all' Egypt aid
The White House is knocking down a report that the Obama administration is ending all military assistance to Egypt.
"The reports that we are halting all military assistance to Egypt are false," National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said in a statement Tuesday.
Her comments came after CNN reported, citing an unidentified U.S. official, that the United States would cut off all military aid in response to an "accumulation of events" in Egypt.
But Hayden's statement doesn't necessarily negate a follow up story from Reuters sourced to a U.S. official who said the administration will withhold most military aid to Egypt while still funding counterterror efforts. In response to a follow-up question, she said she had "no announcements on assistance" to make Tuesday night.
"We will announce the future of our assistance relationship with Egypt in the coming days," but as President Obama made clear in his speech last month to the United Nations General Assembly, "that assistance relationship will continue," Hayden said.

First things first, if you loved or hated the first Art Of The Devil film, don't automatically assume that you'll love or hate this sequel as it really has nothing to do with the original film, making it a sequel in name only. While it deals with a few similar themes, there's no need to see the original before seeing this film, they're not really related at all (in fact this one sort of plays like a more interesting, nastier version of I Know What You Did Last Summer with doses of Audition thrown in for good measure).
The story follows a group of six high school students who despise their gym teacher. Why? Because he's a jerk, basically. He's a tempermental man who isn't afraid to get rough with the students when it suits him, and he's a bit of pervert, she's using one of the kids' mothers for sex, and he's just a nasty person with seemingly no redeeming qualities whatsoever. To take care of the teacher once and for all, our heroes decide to seek out a voodoo priest/witch doctor type from Cambodia to work some sinister mojo for them which results in the gym teacher's horrifying death in which fishhooks pop out of his skin (a great way to open a film, really). Before this expert in black magic makes this happen, however, the kids are warned that they will be responsible for whatever karmic retribution should be laid upon them for this act, and that it just might come back to haunt them somewhere down the line. Of course, being impulsive young people, they pay no attention to his warnings, they just want their enemy dead.
With that nastiness out of the way, life moves on for the group and all but one of them leaves the small town that they grew up in once high school is finished. The one who stuck around, Ta, didn't do so by choice, he got locked up in prison for a crime he wasn't really responsible for – the drowning of his only brother. As the years pass, he's released back into the general population and shortly after that, he finds his father dead. His old friends all return home to attend the funeral, and once they do, strange and sinister things soon start happening, things that remind them what they did all those years ago…
Oddly enough, Art Of The Devil 2 was directed not by a solitary director, as is usually the case with a feature film, but by a group of seven Thai directors known as the Ronin Team. This is an interesting approach to filmmaking and it lends itself to some very creative and unique moments, but at the same time, it's also obvious that there was more than one person guiding this movie as there are definitely some disjointed spots. The plot jumps around quite a bit, back and forth in time and from character to character, which makes for some confusion here and there as well as some flat out bad ideas in terms of how the story is told – this does affect the movie in a negative way. That being said, the kill scenes and the lead ups to some of those kills scenes are fantastic and where the multiple directors hurt the film from a narrative stand point, it obviously helped with the murder set pieces. There are some wonderfully twisted moments in here, far stronger than the admittedly gruesome moments that made the first film as popular as it was.
Though there's definitely more to the film than just the gore scenes, the gore scenes are what it handles the best. The acting is good (in fact the female lead, Napakpapah Nakprasit, won the Thai equivalent of an Oscar for her performance in the film, which is surprising considering how grisly it is), the cast of performers assembled for the feature do just fine with the material (though watching the English dubbed version of the film detracts from the performances considerably as the dubbing doesn't really suit the performers of the movie particularly well) even if they're not re-inventing the wheel with how they handle some of the more unusual situations that they encounter. The movie also has some great atmosphere, helped in no small part by some interesting and unique Thailand locations and sets that give the movie it's distinct feel.
Ultimately, however, the story just tries to cram too many characters involved in too many situations into its running time which results in a film that suffers from bland character development and a few loose ends that could have been tied up in a more satisfactory manner. Thankfully, the sheer ballsiness of the gore in the film overshadows pretty much everything else, making this a rather visceral and intense horror film even if it isn't one that will leave you thinking once the shock wears off. That ultimately means that Art Of The Devil 2 is worth seeing for the creative kills and the splendidly bloody effects work, not for the story – but hey, it works.Video:
Media Blasters presents Art Of The Devil 2 in a decent but not quite perfect 1.85.1 anamorphic widescreen transfer that does a pretty nice job of capturing the mood and atmosphere of the film. While the image does have its flaws (there are a few scenes with some mild motion blurring and a few others that have a bit more print damage than you might expect to see on a film this) it is definitely acceptable. Edge enhancement is only present in a couple of scenes and there are no issues with mpeg compression artifacts. The picture has a pretty nice level of foreground and background detail in it and skin tones look lifelike. Color reproduction is decent but at times the image looks a little on the flat side and there is some obvious and intentional color manipulation in a few scenes.Sound:
Thankfully, the audio on this release is pretty much problem free. Media Blasters have given viewers the option of watching the film in English in a Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround mix, or in the film's native Thai language in Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround Sound. Optional subtitles are available in English. Dialogue is crisp and clear and comes through without any hiss or distortion. The bass levels are strong but not overpowering and the levels seem to be set precisely where they should be as there aren't any issues with the sound effects or moody background music overshadowing the performers in the film. It's a shame that more thought wasn't put into the subtitles as there are a few key moments in the film where some of the text can cause some head scratching, but overall things are alright in the audio department and the kill scenes sound nice and squishy.Extras:
The main supplement on this release is a decent roughly twenty-minute long behind the scenes documentary that is presented in Thai with English subtitles. It gives us a few talking head style interviews with the cast and crew members as well as some interesting on set footage shot while the production was being made. There's nothing really mind blowing here but if you want a closer look at how Art Of The Devil 2 was put together, it works nicely. It also gives us a look at some of the effects work as it was in progress, which is a nice touch, as a few of the more memorable set pieces are illustrated in these moments.Final Thoughts:
While it's got its fare share of problems, Art Of The Devil 2 looks and sounds decent enough on DVD with this release. The movie itself is a bit of a head scratcher as far as the plot is concerned but it definitely delivers some bizarre and inventive thrills of a distinctly gruesome nature. Recommended for Asian horror enthusiasts who don't mind some healthy dollops of gore!

Preached at the Fundamentalist Baptist Tabernacle in Los Angeles, CA, on the evening of January 6, 2002.
Psalm 18.41
1. My text for this evening comes from a psalm that David wrote when he was a young man in conflict with king Saul. It seems to be recorded in its original form in Second Samuel chapter 22. But its final form, apparently edited a bit by David as a more mature man, is found as the 18th Psalm.
2. Please turn at this time to the 18th Psalm, where I will begin reading at verse 40. That's page 607 in your Scofield Reference Bible.
3. When you find the text, please stand for the reading of God's Word. As I read I will point out some things common with a number of the Psalms. I refer to obvious Messianic allusions, statements that are true about David, the human author, but which are more true and prophetically significant when they are applied to the Lord Jesus Christ, Who would be born a thousand years after David died.
4. One of the reasons God chose to use the Psalms penned by David, to give us such profound insights into the ministry and the sacrifice the Lord Jesus Christ would make a thousand years later, is because of the great parallel that existed between David, God's anointed prophet and king, and his enemies -- and the Lord Jesus Christ, God's Son, the Messiah, the Anointed One, the Christ, and His enemies.
5. Let me point out some of the amazing illustrations of how the relationship between David and his enemies prophetically pictures what would be true of Christ and His enemies a thousand years later, and what is still true of Christ and His enemies three thousand years later.
6. Look at verse 44, where the psalmist writes, "As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me." Sounds good, doesn't it? Seems to speak of conversion, doesn't it? But the word translated "submission" refers to feigned submission, submission that isn't real, submission that's forced, submission that is not from the heart. In other words, this is a portrait of a false conversion!
7. Why do you think Dr. Hymers is so careful when dealing with sinners? Why do you think he is so insistent? My friends, it's because the Bible teaches of those with false conversions. He was falsely converted for years himself, and he wants to make sure, as a good pastor ought to make sure, that you are truly converted, that your submission to Jesus is genuine, that you really have with the heart believed unto righteousness.
8. Look at verse 47: "It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me." This verse describes the victories God gave to David over his enemies. But it far more perfectly describes the victory that God will give to His Son Jesus over His enemies.
9. Where David writes, "It is God that avengeth me," the apostle Paul writes these words in Romans 12.19: "Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord."
10. And where David writes, "and subdueth the people under me," we read these words in another Psalm and in Hebrews 1.13: "Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool." That's God speaking to His Son, Jesus.
11. So you see, this portion of the 18th Psalm that we have read is very definitely a Messianic passage. That is, it is an Old Testament passage from long, long ago which undeniably looks to the future, to the ministry and life of the Lord Jesus Christ, Who is Israel's Messiah.
12. It immediately speaks of the conflict that David, as God's anointed king, had with his enemies. But the passage ultimately speaks of the conflict that the Lord Jesus Christ, as God's anointed Prophet, Priest and King, would have and continues to have with His enemies.
13. Now we turn our attention to you. You see, just as David's enemies are found in this Psalm, so too are Christ's enemies found in this passage. And though you may not think of yourself as Christ's enemy, so long as you are unsaved, so long as you remain lost, so long as your submission to Jesus is only feigned, so long as your submission to Jesus is only a convenient pretense, so long as your submission to Jesus is not a real and genuine conversion experience, you are still His enemy.
14. Though we initially read 11 verses, my text for tonight's sermon is a single verse, Psalm 18.41. Let us stand once more and read that single verse again, you reading silently while I read aloud: "They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not."
15. Jesus is sitting at the Father's right hand in heaven, as I speak to you tonight. Through the ministry of the Holy Spirit of God, Who convicts sinners and prepares their hearts for conversion, you are being invited to Jesus. And if you actually come to Jesus you will at that moment experience the miracle of the new birth.
16. But while the Gospel ministry is going forth here there is another thing happening elsewhere. As men and women and children are dying without Christ, and as the Spirit of God draws back from sinners who commit the unpardonable sin and stubbornly refuse to come to Jesus, God is subduing Christ's enemies, God is making Christ's enemies His footstool.
17. While some few are being converted, mostly in places like China, Southeast Asia and in the Sudan, far greater numbers of sinners are being subjugated all over the world by God and made into Christ's footstools, good for nothing better than the bottom of the Savior's shoes.
18. Having resisted the Gospel during this lifetime, and having refused to bend the knee and bow the head and confess Jesus Christ to be Lord, but insisting on being stubborn and rebellious, you have not cried out to God for saving mercy. You have not pleaded with God for saving grace. You have not begged God for faith to believe in Jesus. But you will, my friend. O, you will. Of that you can be sure.
19. Our text for this evening shows us that you will. "They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not."
20. Three things to notice about you, for this verse speaks of you:
1A. First, YOU WILL CRY FOR SALVATION
1. So you see, there will come a time in your existence when you will be dramatically transformed into quite the prayer warrior. You don't much pray now for your salvation. You don't cry out to God for mercy now.
2. But there is coming a time when you will pray without ceasing. O, how you will cry out to God. O, how you will plead. O, how you will beseech. O, how you will argue your case and present the reasons why you should be saved.
3. You will cry out to Jesus, but He will not save you, because God's Word says, "there was none to save." And that certainly includes Jesus. You have no time for Jesus now, and can't imagine feeling any need for Him now. But O, how you will cry loud and long for Him . . . when it's too late.
4. And you will cry out to God, too. Tears and snot and saliva running down your face, you will cry like you've never cried before. O, how sorry you will be then. O, how you will reason and explain to God. But it will be too late.
5. That, my friend, is the Bible truth about your desperate cry, the cry of your heart and soul after you have died and gone to Hell. I do want you to cry out to God for mercy and grace now, before it's too late. Because your desperate cry of Psalm 18.41 will be a cry that will go unanswered.

Radio personality Rush Limbaugh lashed out at NFL union leader DeMaurice Smith, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and the media a day after being dropped from a group trying to buy the St. Louis Rams.
On his syndicated show yesterday, Limbaugh said he was approached by St. Louis Blues chairman Dave Checketts earlier this year about participating in a Rams bid. Limbaugh said Checketts assured him his involvement as a minority investor had been vetted by the NFL. "I said to him at this meeting, 'Are you aware of the firestorm?' He said, 'We wouldn't have approached you if we hadn't taken care of that,' '' said Limbaugh, a conservative favorite who is reviled by many liberals.
Limbaugh added that Checketts had told him his involvement had been cleared at the "highest levels of the NFL.''
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and Colts owner Jim Irsay expressed misgivings this week at a leaguewide meeting about Limbaugh's involvement, with Goodell saying Limbaugh had made "polarizing'' comments and Irsay vowing to vote against him.
On Wednesday, Checketts said Limbaugh had been dropped from the bid.

From the 1950s new drugs became available and were widely used to treat psychosis, depression, anxiety and mania. These were supplemented by psychological treatments such as individual or group psychotherapy. As more effective treatments for mental illness were introduced, patients became more willing to enter mental hospitals voluntarily. In 1935–39, 22.4% of patients were voluntary. In 1955–59, when the first wave of new drugs became available, 47.5% of admissions were voluntary. By 1960–64 this had grown to 71.4%.
These developments, and the introduction in 1939 of free treatment in state mental hospitals, transformed psychiatric hospitals, as they were known from the 1950s. Patients' behaviour could be stabilised, and they could often be discharged from hospital much sooner then in the past. This, however, created a 'revolving door' pattern of re-admission and trial leave.
Hospital hotels
In 1942 a major earthquake forced the evacuation of 800 patients from Porirua Hospital. Many were temporarily transferred to the country's best-known tourist hotels: Chateau Tongariro, at National Park, and Wairakei Hostel near Taupō.
Post-war legislation
The Health Amendment Act 1947 established a Division of Mental Hygiene within the Health Department, providing greater integration of mental health with broader health services. The Mental Health Act 1969 simplified the process of committing patients to mental hospitals and recognised new trends in community care such as clinics and hostels.
Reforming the institutions
Despite the growing importance of community care, most mentally ill people were still treated at large specialist hospitals. In 1969 New Zealand's 11 psychiatric hospitals and four psychopaedic hospitals (for intellectually handicapped people) represented 43% of public hospital beds and 37% of all hospital beds. As these hospitals came to be seen as therapeutic communities, they were equipped with halls, libraries, canteens, chapels and swimming pools.
From the 1940s new types of professional staff, such as social workers and occupational therapists, were employed to prepare and support patients for life and work outside, and to liaise with community groups. However, until the late 1960s able-bodied patients were still encouraged to work daily in the hospital grounds and buildings. This physical activity gave them stimulation and relief from boredom, but also provided the constantly overcrowded and underfunded facilities with a large labour pool for basic maintenance.
The eternal now
Renowned author Janet Frame drew on her experience in mental institutions in several of her books, both fictional and autobiographical:'There was a personal, geographical, even linguistic exclusiveness in this community of the insane who yet had no legal or personal external identity – no clothes of their own to wear, no handbags, no purses, no possessions but a temporary bed to sleep in with a locker beside it, and a room to sit in and stare, called a dayroom. Many patients confined in other wards of Seacliff had no name, only a nickname, no past, no future, only an imprisoned Now.'1
Short- and long-term patients
A growing gap developed between short-term psychiatric patients and those who had lost outside links and established a home in their institution. The first group were cared for individually in 'front' wards, while the remaining patients were managed as efficiently as limited resources allowed. Internationally renowned author Janet Frame was a psychiatric patient in the 1940s and 1950s, and in her writing she vividly described the differences between front and back wards, and newer and older institutions.

Lester takes pass on latest Red Sox offer
It looks like Jon Lester didn't like management's latest pitch.
The Red Sox ace rejected the team's most recent offer for a contract extension, according to Ken Rosenthal at Fox Sports.
The Red Sox's most recent offer to Lester was far below market value -- four years for between $70 million and $80 million, according to sources within the team's clubhouse.
Lester, who is eligible for free agency at the end of the season, rejected the offer and will not resume negotiations with the club until the offseason, the sources said.
That offer is "not in line'' with contracts signed by other top starters across the league, according to Rosenthal. Both sides had been in talks but agreed to "hit the pause button'' at the start of the regular season, according to Sox General Manager Ben Cherington.

Motivation was the biggest key to the success of the Baldwin Wallace women's basketball team this season.
The 2012-13 season was over before it started for the Yellow Jackets, as the president of the university elected to pull all of the school's athletic teams out of the running for Ohio Athletic Conference and national tournaments because of improper financial aid being awarded to several student-athletes.
That one-year suspension proved to be the biggest motivating factor for the Yellow Jackets this season, as they went 20-6 overall, 15-3 in conference play and won the regular-season championship for the eighth time under the guidance of coach Cheri Harrer.
"Our kids had a pretty bitter taste in their mouths last year after what happened with the whole NCAA thing," Harrer recalled. "They worked really hard in the summer. They've got a chip on their shoulders.
"I was so happy for our kids. Our kids were crying. We all really thought our season was over, and our kids were so excited. That's what's so special for me to see. This team loves to play together, and it was great for them to get a chance to continue this, to play together for a little while longer."
Not bad for a team with only two seniors, guard Jessica Lairson and forward Lexi Rohrbach, in addition to just two juniors in guards Shari Mangas and Audrey Smolik.
"We were hopeful going in that we could have a good year, but we did graduate five seniors from last year's team and we were fairly young," Harrer said. "We started with the loss to Tufts, but Tufts is a great team. We've kind of been up and down in that we'll play well for a stretch of five or six and then, have a bad game. Hopefully, we can get on a stretch of five or six here.
"We have a handful of kids that just work so darn hard and it is very satisfying to see them get one of their goals. That's the best thing."
This season, Lairson, Rohrbach, Mangas and Smolik have combined to average 54.9 of the Yellow Jackets' 78.3 points per game and score 398 of the team's 717 field goals this season.
"We had some kids come back as significantly better players, and the other thing we've done, and it's a credit to the kids, they've come to practice every day and they've really competed with each other. For a while, we weren't doing that, but these guys can go at each other every day in practice and still be friends. That's a great thing."
In 24 years at the helm of the program, Harrer has led the team to a school record 486 wins and .732 winning percentage. A four-time OAC Coach of the Year, Harrer's teams have been selected to 12 NCAA Division III Tournaments, and made the Elite Eight three times (1999, 2000, and 2004).
This time around, the motivated Yellow Jackets will travel to York, Penn., where they will face Lebanon Valley, a team that went 21-6 and advanced to the Commonwealth Conference Championship Game.
"There's no easy teams. Lebanon Valley is very good," Harrer said. "They're a very, very solid team. I don't know as much about La Roche or York yet because we haven't spent as much time looking at them, but York's 25-2. We're going to have to play at our very best."

Profits boost for India's Satyam
One of India's leading software companies has seen its profits double in the last three months.
But Satyam Computer warned that its full-year profits would not be as buoyant as previously predicted.
Satyam - India's fourth-biggest exporter of software - gets about 78% of its revenues of the US and the slowdown there has encouraged many people to delay their investment.
Despite weaker share markets worldwide, Satyam still plans to sell part or all of its stake in its subsidiary Satyam Infoway, India's leading private internet service provider.
Second-quarter net profit rose to 1.34bn rupees ($28m) from 669m rupees in the previous quarter. Its shares hit a high of 169.8 rupees on the news, before falling back to 148.6 rupees.
US impact
Satyam admitted that its immediate growth prospects were "flat", but was keen to play down the impact of the US slowdown on their business.
"Last year, we grew at more than 75% in revenue terms. This year, we are placing it at 30% to 32%, that is a significant drop," Satyam's chairman Mr Ramalinga Ragu told the BBC's World Business Report.
India's software industry is one of the country's major successes, with some 60% of its exports directed to the US, accounting for about 2% of the country's gross domestic product.
The growth rate for the value of software exports, which used to stand at 50% annually, is likely to slip to 20% in 2001-02.
Companies like Infosys Technologies, Satyam Computer Services, Wipro and Tata Consultancy Services of the Tata Group, which account for more than 80% of the sector's export revenues, have been identified as the driving forces behind the industry.
The real impact of the US slowdown is that Indian software companies that don't have Europe on their radar screen will now increase their exports.
Already Europe counts for about 25% of Indian software exports, compared with 18% a few years ago. "We would like to see 30% of our global business coming from Europe," Nascom's chairman, Phiroz Vandrevala, told the BBC's World Business Report, at a conference in London.
Satyam's Ramalinga Ragu added: "Europe is our fastest growing market."
Others argue that their sound business model will sustain them.
Tata Consultancy Services' chief executive, Subramanian Ramadorai said: "The longevity of our relationships is what is going to sustain us."

Senator Dale M. Volker Announces Senate Passage Of Bill To Increase Criminal Penalties For Those Who Flee Police Officers Using A Vehicle
(ALBANY, NY) State Senator Dale M. Volker (R-I-C, Depew) today announced that the New York State Senate has passed legislation to make it a felony when someone unlawfully flees a police officer while operating a motor vehicle. The State Senate's legislation will also provide for heightened penalties when this illegal action results in injury or death to a police officer or to third party.
"Unfortunately, police officers and pedestrians are becoming victims of high speed and low speed car chases," said Senator Dale M. Volker. "Despite the loss of life or severe injuries that occur, the driver that causes law enforcement actions and police chases often walks away with a slap on the wrist. This is wrong and why we need to ensure that the punishment fits the crime. I urge the State Assembly to act on this legislation as soon as possible so that our District Attorney will have this new law at their disposal."
If passed by the State Assembly and enacted into law by Governor George E. Pataki, this legislation would create the offense of unlawful fleeing a police officer in a motor vehicle in the third degree. This would occur if a person, after being directed to stop by a police officer or having stopped at an officer's direction, flees or attempts to flee that police officer by driving at a speed in excess of twenty miles over speed limit or engaging in reckless driving. A violation of this new section would be a class E felony.
This legislation also provides for the new offense of unlawful fleeing a police officer in motor vehicle in the second degree when he or she commits the offense of unlawful fleeing a police officer in a motor vehicle in the third degree and, as a result of such conduct, a police officer or third person suffers physical injury. A violation of this section is a class D felony.
The bill would also provide for the offense of unlawful fleeing of a police officer while in a motor vehicle in the first degree when he or she commits the offense of unlawful fleeing a police officer in a motor vehicle in the third degree and where as a result of such conduct, serious physical injury or death results to a police officer or third person. Violation of this section is a class C felony. Mandatory license revocation upon conviction of these three new penal law offenses would occur.
A person who forces a police officer to engage in a vehicle pursuit of any kind is currently only chargeable for failure to obey a police officer, a mere violation under New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law. Law enforcement professionals are well aware that both high speed and low speed chases can result in dangerous conditions which many times lead to innocent people or law enforcement officers suffering personal injury or death. Because the current punishment for failing to obey a police officer is lenient, individuals, calculating that the penalties if caught are not great, may attempt to flee the police, rather than pull over, creating the potential for disaster.
This legislation is named after New York State Trooper Craig J. Todeschini, who was killed in April of 2006 while pursuing a motor cyclist who failed to obey Trooper Todeschini's directive to stop, resulting in a high speed chase.

Mitt Romney got his chance to clarify comments he made during an interview with CNN's Soledad O'Brien in which he said he was "not concerned about the very poor." In an interview Thursday with Fox News host Sean Hannity, the former Massachusetts governor expressed regret for his comments, saying, "I misspoke."
"I wish I wouldn't have said it that way. I made the same thought part of my speeches over the last year or two, which is that I'm really concerned about middle-income Americans. I want to help middle-income Americans. I want to get people out of poverty, into the middle-income category."
Romney clarified that he is "concerned and worried about all Americans." Romney added. "And I want to make sure our safety net is appropriately able to care for our poor. I'm concerned about all citizens, but now and then you misspeak. You have to acknowledge it — it was something I did not intend to say in the way it was said but I recognize that's part of the political process."

" Genre: Documentary / Broadcaster: Travel Channel "
Comfort Food TV!
Anyone who is unemployed, a parent at home or simply bored on their week off may have flicked through the cable channels and stumbled upon Man V Food. If you could describe what classic daytime TV is you would say Man V Food is exactly that. The depressed and the unemployed love their comfort food and TV and this show is the flashing neon sign of gluttony of a wasted life. But, like its junk food topic, its truly is a guilty pleasure.
The premise is as likeably as the portly host, an American chap called Adam Reichmann, who travels around the US sampling the nation's best junk food and toughest eats, be it spicy, huge or just darn bonkers plates, coming with a side order of 'type two diabetes', as Charlie Brooker quips in his brilliant Guardian column (see below). Adam will munch the hottest, biggest and stupidest servings you have ever seen to win the challenge of Man V Food! Americans like their servings big and responsible for 25% of the world's greenhouse gases through that greedy over consumption, why most of them are extremely fat. The American beef heard alone produces one tenth of the worlds CO2 with most of it ending up on Adams plate.
As I say Adam is a likable and typically loud New Jersey boy and the stomach to match. He is a genuinely good eater and often wins the restaurant challenges in front of baying locals. For his efforts he gets a T-Shirt and a hit TV series. If he wins then he declares 'Man' wins and if he fails then 'Food' wins, hence Man V Food, currently 48/38 in food challenges to Man. So far he has attempted just one food world record on the show by attempting to eat a 190 pound burger and fries - with the help of a 40 man roller hockey team and their friends, falling just 30lbs of beef short.
There have also been many spin-offs since the original success of Man V Food on the American cable Travel Channel in 2008 with Adam allowing members of the public to do the challenges or just a general celebration of America's fast food obsession. In 2012 he announced his retirement from the show and eating and as no real reason was given its presumed four years off fast food has been rather bad for the big man.
As with most of Americas reality TV the host is not as dumb as the audience he seeks and so the joke on them. Reichmann has a college degree in International Business and a Drama and Performance Masters Degree from Yale, his first jobs being bit part acting in TV shows. As self proclaimed and educated food fanatic he claims to have worked his way up through the food industry to the position of expert, presumably flipping burgers (or paddies, as they call the buns in the trade) between acting jobs.
The show is about extreme gluttony and some sniffy food critics didn't like that much, especially when one third of the planet are literally dyeing to have that much food in front of them. The difference to everyday Americans is Reichmann works out between the series and only puts the weight back on during the 12 week filming. That's generally not the case for the customers of these places. As we know with Americans the biggest fast food company of all employs a clown to promote their business to get kids addicted and so the nation's biggest addiction isn't going away fast. Fast food is huge - literally - in the US and they love it and so why wouldn't they want a TV show or two about it?
The food on the show, especially the huge chunks of cow and pork BBQ, look seriously scrummy and it does give you an appetite to raid the biscuit tin, presumably the point of the show. The hot challenges are the funniest as restaurateurs pile on the jalapeño spice pepper extract to make Adam sweat like the Food Minster when its revealed this week that Shergar and most of the race horses we ever bet on did indeed end up in the food chain. Generally it is a quantity or hot hot hot food challenge each week and Adam sets about it with great vigor, and for some reason you route for him and its highly entertaining. But, after a while, the shows tend to be repeats and pop up on four or five channels and your love affair with Adam and his 'big food' tires, leaving only one lingering memory. Just how big are his poo's after forcing a seven pound heffer down his throat!
Charlie Brooker's article!
= = = Critic = = =
Charlie Brooker, "If food is the new porn, this is an all-out orgy between wobbling guts and farmyard animals - a snuff orgy, no less, since the latter end up sawn in half and smothered in BBQ sauce".
Alton Brown - 'Man v. Food ' is "disgusting. That show is about gluttony, and gluttony is wrong. It's wasteful. Think about people that are starving to death and think about that show. I think it's an embarrassment."
In the Star-Ledger - "It ain't deep, and it certainly ain't healthy (I could feel my arteries clog just from watching), but its fun."
Man V food, is a show that my husband stumbled across whilst channel surfing a while back. Being aired on the travel channel (249) Since then, It has become a household favourite and a show which we all watch avidly together. I have to admit, that while I find this show quite intresting, I often watch the show with my eyes half closed as it an be quite nauseous inducing.
The show follows American food enthusiast, Adam Richman around American eating joints. The aim of the show is for Adam to visit these eating establishments and find out about the food they serve and what the customers think of the food. Then he will take part in an eating challenge related to that particular eaterie. For instance, if he is in a burger joint they will bring him their Belly buster 2 stone burger with everything you can think of included. The burger comes to the table and is the size of a mountain and Adam has to eat this burger and fries and a full salad in order to gain a certificate and his name on that eaterie's wall of fame.
The series sees Adam going from resteraunt to restaraunt trying a variety of different foods. However all have a common theme they are huge, fatty and full of calories. The aim of the show is to find which resteraunt serves the biggest, craziest portions and if Adam can rise to the challenge of scoffing the lot.
Throughout the series, I have witnessed Adam richman sampling a pizza the size of a table, a portion of the worlds hottest buffalo wings, five litres of thick milkshake and lots lots more.
While I find Adam Richman a really fun and larger than life character. I have to say I find the show repulsive. I just think it is a show about gluttony and It turns my stomach. However, my daughter and husband think it is ace and even sky plus it to make sure they don't miss an episode. This show, I feel, is not about cooking but more about portions and over eating. In a world where too many people are suffering form obesity, I find it crazy that this show is being aired at all.
However, this show is very popular in America. Adam Richman has become a household name and a huge celebrity. I can actually see why Richman is so popular. He has charisma in bucket loads and a great wit. I love his confidence and feel he is a great showman. He is also rather pleasing on the eye which is never a bad thing.
In conclusion, if you are into seeing great American style diners serving huge (and I mean HUGE) portions of differing greasy foods, then this is for you. If however you are looking for a culinary show with sophistication then this will not be the show for you. It is brash and shows over excessive eating to the point of vomitting. It is not pretty.
I think this show sends out the wrong message that it is cool to eat loads of unhealthy food in huge portions. I have to say, I think this is wrong. I feel that when you have watched one of these shows, you have seen them all. It is the same format every time with just a different fast food being used. I found I became very bored very quickly with this show. I feel it promotes greed, I watch the show in amazement that Adam Richman hasn't keeled over with a heart attack.
Saying that, as I mentioned before my husband loves this show. I think there is indeed something very masculine surrounding it's format A challenge to see if your man enough to eat a 72oz steak! I have found myself screaming Grow up at the screen before now. Surely food should be about the ingredients and the source of the product and the recipes not watching a caveman dood stuffing his greasy face with steak. gross!!!
