Jim Nabors Movies
Jim Nabors, he of the vacuous expression and the dumbstruck expletives "Gawwwleee" and "Shazzayam," graduated from the University of Alabama with a degree in business administration. Nabors' first TV job was as an apprentice film cutter; shortly afterward, he launched a fitfully successful career as a cabaret singer. In 1963, he was hired to play the one-shot role of gas station attendant Gomer Pyle on the top-rated The Andy Griffith Show. Essentially a build-up to a punchline (
explained to a nonplused stranger that the goofy Gomer planned to become a brain surgeon), Nabor's hayseed character proved so popular that he became a regular on the series. In 1964, with
's manager Richard O. Linke calling the shots, Nabors was spun off into his own weekly sitcom, Gomer Pyle USMC, which ran for five successful seasons. Televiewers got their first inkling that there was more to Nabors than Gomer when, on a 1964
Danny Kaye Show
, he revealed his rich, well-modulated baritone singing voice. He went on to record 16 popular record albums, utilizing his high-pitched Gomer voice in only one of them (1965's Shazzam). Nabors' larynx was further deployed on his TV variety series
The Jim Nabors Show
(1969-72), on the 1967 opening episode (and every subsequent season opener) of
The Carol Burnett Show
, and in countless personal appearances all over the world. Additionally, Nabors starred in such 1970s Saturday morning kiddie efforts as
Krofft Supershow
, The Lost Saucer and
Buford and the Galloping Ghost
(voice only). He played his first serious role as a vengeful hillbilly on a 1973 episode of TVs The Rookies, and essayed comic supporting parts in such good-ole-boy films as
Cannonball Run
(1978) and
The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
(1982), both starring his close friend
Burt Reynolds
. Because Nabors never married, he found himself the target of numerous ugly and unfounded rumors concerning his private life. When he became deathly ill in the mid-1980s, there were those who jumped to the conclusion that Nabors had contacted AIDS. In fact, he had fallen victim to a particularly vicious form of hepatitis, picked up (according to Nabors) when he cut himself while shaving in India. Nabors recovered from his ailment after a highly publicized liver transplant saved his life. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Return to Mayberry
Inspired by the success of previous TV sitcom "reunion" films, Return to Mayberry debuted on April 13, 1986. Eleven of the original cast members of the classic Andy Griffith Show were reunited in this marvelous blast from the past. The plot finds former sheriff Andy Taylor (Griffith, of course), returning to Mayberry, North Carolina to visit his grown son Opie (Ron Howard, taking a break from his busy directorial career), who is now an expectant father. Andy's onetime deputy Barney Fife (Don Knotts) is running for the sheriff's post, so Andy decides to stick around to help out. Barney thinks he's found an excellent publicity ploy when he discovers what seems to be a bigfoot-style monster roaming around the Carolina hills. Actually, he's the victim of a cruel hoax, compelling Andy once more to come to Barn's rescue. Also in the cast is George Lindsay as Goober, Jim Nabors as Gomer, Aneta Corsaut as Helen, Betty Lynn as Thelma Lou, and Howard Morris as Ernest T. Bass. Conspicuous by her absence was Frances "Aunt Bee" Bavier, who was too ill to make a comeback. The highest-rated TV movie of 1986, Return to Mayberry might have resulted in a series, but Andy Griffith decided to switch professional gears and star as an attorney in Matlock. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

(Burt Reynolds) as J.J. McClure takes off across the country again in this rickety sequel to Cannonball Run. A sheik has offered $1,000,000 to the first driver to reach a destination in Connecticut from Redondo Beach, California, inspiring J.J. and others to go for the gold. With cameos from more name performers than any dozen films together, (Frank Sinatra and the rat pack, Telly Savalas, Susan Anton, Shirley MacLaine, Jackie Chan, Sid Caesar, Marilu Henner, Catherine Bach, etc., etc., etc.), the movie becomes a pastiche and is executed as though no rehearsals were required, or ever happened. A disparate group of people racing to get a lot of money was first successfully exploited in It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, a much better film, and with just as many cameos, in fact. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

The action and stunts in this fourth racing vehicle for Burt Reynolds could be accurately foreseen by most youngsters. Stroker Ace (Reynolds) is a race car driver who gets the short end of a contract with a fried-chicken entrepreneur (Ned Beatty) but can be expected to end up with the woman (Pembrook) in compensation -- and actually did (Pembrook is played by Loni Anderson in her first movie with Reynolds). By this time, the formula of racing cars, wild stunts, blond co-stars (Goldie Hawn, Farrah Fawcett, and Dolly Parton were the most recent) was wearing thin and Reynolds starred in only one more "Cannonball" film, ending his car-chase series there. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

The fourth season of The Andy Griffith Show opens with one of the series' finest episodes, as well as the favorite episode of co-star Ronny Howard (now better known as film director Ron Howard). "Opie the Birdman" poignantly details the efforts by Opie Taylor (Howard), son of Mayberry sheriff Andy Taylor (Andy Griffith), to take care of several newly hatched robins after accidentally killing the mother bird with his slingshot. The rest of the season maintains the high standards of this opener, with such classic episodes as "Ernest T. Bass Joins the Army," featuring Howard Morris as the titular rock-throwing village idiot; "A Black Day for Mayberry," in which Andy and his nervous deputy Barney Fife (Don Knotts) prepare for the arrival of a top secret gold shipment from Denver; "Up in Barney's Room," the saga of the acrimonious falling out and tearful reconciliation between Barney and his landlady Mrs. Mendelbright (Enid Markey); "Barney's Side Car," or how a man can be corrupted by a WW1 vintage motorcycle; "Divorce. Mountain Style," in which the rambunctious Darling family once more descend upon Mayberry, with a pre-Gilligan's Island Bob Denver along for the ride; "The Return of Malcolm Merriwether," another visit from Mayberry's favorite English valet (Bernard Fox); and the unforgettable "Citizen's Arrest," chronicling a war of nerves between Barney and indignant gas station attendant Gomer Pyle (Jim Nabors). Speaking of Gomer, this would be the last year that this remarkable character would appear regularly on The Andy Griffith Show. The series' season finale, "Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.," serves as the pilot for the popular military sitcom in which Jim Nabors would headline from 1964 through 1970. Season four of The Andy Griffith Show found the series still flourishing in the ratings, ranking as America's fifth most popular program. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Andy Griffith Show offered some of its best-ever episodes during the series' third season on the air. Highlights include "Andy and the New Mayor," introducing Parley Baer as Mayberry's freshly elected mayor, Roy Stone; "The Cow Thief," in which sheriff Andy Taylor (Andy Griffith) and deputy Barney Fife (Don Knotts) stumble onto the hilarious (but logical!)
modus operandi
of the title character; "Barney Mends a Broken Heart," treating viewers to their first glimpse of those "fun girls" Daphne (Jean Carson) and Skippy (Joyce Jameson); "Floyd, the Gay Deceiver," wherein barber Floyd Lawson (Howard McNear) confesses to being a cad in his dealings with a mail-order sweetheart; "One-Punch Opie," or how Andy's son Opie Taylor (Ronny Howard) conquers a tough kid without a single punch; "Barney and the Governor," wherein Barney tickets the governor's car and gets good and drunk in anticipation of being dismissed (which, of course, he isn't); "The Loaded Goat," illustrating the consequences of allowing a goat to wander too near a box of dynamite; "The Darlings Are Coming," Mayberry's first encounter with those musically talented hillbillies, the Darling Family; "Andy's English Valet," the debut appearance of the "veddy proper" Malcolm Merriwether (Bernard Fox); and "Mountain Wedding," affording the world its first glimpse of rock-hurling village idiot Ernest T. Bass (Howard Morris, who also directed several Andy Griffith episodes). Season three features two more attempts by the series' writers to pair off widower Andy Taylor with an eligible female. Joanna Moore appears in four episodes as new county nurse Peggy McMillan, whose efforts to land Andy are no more successful than those of her season two predecessor, nurse Mary Simpson. Conversely, the episode "Andy Discovers America" brings Andy face-to-face with his son Opie's much-despised "old lady" schoolteacher -- who turns out to be a very attractive young lady by the name of Helen Crump (Aneta Corsaut). And it is clear from the get-go that Andy and Helen will remain an item for some time to come.
Arguably the season's best episode is the Emmy-nominated "Man in a Hurry," which allows us to see the familiar characters of Mayberry through the eyes of a nonplussed outsider, a dyspeptic businessman played by Robert Emhardt. As a bonus, this episode marks the very first appearance of that celebrated, nasal-voiced gas station attendant, Gomer Pyle (Jim Nabors). Rated as the sixth most popular show on American television during the 1962-1963 season, The Andy Griffith Show also took home a third consecutive Emmy award for supporting actor Don Knotts. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Andy Griffith Show [TV Series]
The pilot for the long-running CBS sitcom The Andy Griffith Show was seen on February 15, 1960, as an episode of The Danny Thomas Show, "Danny Meets Andy Griffith." As originally conceived, Andy Taylor (Andy Griffith) was not only the sheriff of the sleepy North Carolina town of Mayberry, but he was also the mayor, justice of the peace, and newspaper editor. Child actor Ronny Howard (who, as Ron Howard, would in adulthood enjoy a spectacularly successful career as a film director) was seen in the pilot as the widowed Andy's son Opie, but Frances Bavier played an entirely different role than she would in the actual series, while Frank Cady rather than Hal Smith was cast as town drunk Otis Campbell. While there would be changes in concept and casting, the laid-back character of Andy Taylor "clicked" with TV audiences, ensuring that The Andy Griffith Show would join the Monday night CBS lineup come October 3, 1960. Introduced as regulars during season one were of course Andy Griffith, Ronny Howard, and Frances Bavier (now as Aunt Bee, housekeeper for Andy and Opie Taylor), with the significant and salutary addition of Don Knotts as Andy's tightly wound deputy Barney Fife. The rapport between Andy and Barney contributed mightily to the series' success during its shakedown season, with nominal leading character Andy often voluntarily taking a back seat to Barney's overzealous antics. Subsequent additions to the cast included Jim Nabors as bucolic gas station attendant Gomer Pyle (later spun off into his own series, Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.); George Lindsey as Gomer's cousin, Goober Pyle; Howard McNear as dithery barber Floyd Lawson; and Hal Smith as the aforementioned Otis Campbell. Taking advantage of Andy Taylor's widower status, the series' writers tried to pair the character off with a number of eligible young ladies, beginning in the first season with Elinor Donahue as drugstore sales clerk Ellie Walker. But only when Aneta Corsaut joined the cast as Opie's schoolteacher Helen Crump did Andy find the "right" girl. Indeed, Andy and Helen would become engaged during the series' final season. Conversely, Barney Fife had but one steady girlfriend, Thelma Lou, played by Betty Lynn.
Don Knotts left the series at the outset of its sixth season (the show switched from black-and-white to color at the same time); it was explained that Barney had accepted a deputy position in Raleigh, permitting Knotts to make a handful of memorable return guest appearances. Barney was briefly replaced by Deputy Warren Ferguson, played by Jack Burns; later on, Goober Pyle became Andy's unofficial deputy. The post-Don Knotts episodes brought forth several other new recurring characters: Jack Dodson as town clerk Howard Sprague, Paul Hartman as handyman Emmet Clark, and Hope Summers as Aunt Bee's best friend, Clara. During the Emmy-winning series' eighth season, Andy Griffith decided to leave the show. At this point, Ken Berry was added to the cast as widowed farmer and later town councilman Sam Jones, with Buddy Foster as Sam's son Mike and Arlene Golonka as Sam's girlfriend, Millie Hutchins. After the final telecast of The Andy Griffith Show on September 16, 1968, the series continued for three additional seasons under the title Mayberry RFD, with Ken Berry taking over as star and with most of the familiar Andy Griffith Show supporting characters still in attendance. One of the most consistently popular sitcoms of all time, The Andy Griffith Show lasted 249 half-hour episodes, and also spawned the high-rated 1986 TV movie Return to Mayberry. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Miss Perspicacia Tick, a witch of some renown, is worried about a ripple in the walls of the universe--probably another world making contact. Which is not good. This errant activity is centred on some chalk country--where traditionally good witches simply do not grow well. Fortunately, Miss Tiffany Aching of Home Farm on The Chalk, nine years old, misunderstood and yearning for excitement, wants to be a witch and has just proved herself to be of great potential by whacking a big Green Monster from the river with a huge frying pan while using her annoying younger brother as bait. Miss Tick is impressed. So, after travelling to the chalky downs at once and dispensing some stop gap advice to Tiffany about holding the fort until she gets back with more help, Miss Tick is off.
Any hesitation Tiffany may have had about the seriousness of the situation expires when the Queen of the fairies kidnaps her younger brother. With the help of a talking frog, loaned by Miss Tick, and an army of thieving, warmongering, nippy, boozy wee free men called the Nac Mac Feegle (who used to work for the Queen but rebelled), Tiffany sets off rescue her kin.
There's humour at every turn, and the situations that follow are both wonderfully dramatic and preposterously unreal. Pratchett really is the master of his genre and it's difficult to imagine a more entertaining read. (Age 10 and over) --John McLay
Young Tiffany Aching has lived her young life in the Chalk, where raising sheep is the normal form of living. But, when creatures out of fairy tales begin to appear, she realizes that something is very wrong. A group of tiny blue men, with bright red hair and kilts (the Nac Mac Feegle, the Wee Free Men) begin to take an interest in her, and Tiffany quickly learns that her very world is under attack by the Queen of the Elves. The Wee Free Men think that she is a witch, like her grandmother, and just maybe she will be one day, but she's not now. But, armed with her native intellect, her determination, and a wealth of memories of how her grandmother did things, Tiffany might just be enough.
This is another *great* Terry Pratchett book! I have been a fan of this author for a long time, and this book does not let you down. As is often the case in Discworld books, a couple of "regulars" put in an appearance (Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg), but the show is definitely stolen by the Nac Mac Feegle - they are great! (Rob Anybody, Not-as-big-as-Medium-Sized-Jock-but-bigger-than-Wee-Jock-Jock, he he!) But, even beyond that, the story is enthralling and the characters are quite interesting. If you are a fan of humorous fantasy, then you must read this novel by the king of them all, Terry Pratchett!
The Wee Free Men is based around Tiffany Aching, a brown haired, brown eyed nine year old who is too sensible for her own good; Rob Anybody, No'-as-big-as-Medium-Sized-Jock-but-bigger-than-Wee-Jock-Jock, Hamish and the rest of the blue and red kilted Nac Mac Feegle; Miss Perspicacia Tick, a witch who has learnt that her elbows are generally very reliable; the rather mean Queen of the Fairies (who also starred in 'Lords and Ladies', also by Terry Pratchett); and Wentworth, the eternally sticky, sweet-loving toddler who is in agony when he has too many sweets – he can never decide which to eat first.
This book is set in a part of the Discworld previously unknown. It is set partly on the Chalk, low-lying hills that I assume are quite near the Ramtops, but mainly in Fairyland. The atmosphere of the novel is quite mixed; those parts set in Fairyland quite sinister and forbidding (but not really scary) while other parts are rather humorous.
As this is a children's book, Terry Pratchett does not go into the deeply philosophical theories that he usually explores (and makes fun of).
Read more ›Seriously, this is a funny book and everyone should read it. It contains Pratchett's traditional blend of wit and humour, with an assortment of values and issues such as bravery, loyalty, and a desire to steal, fight, and steal.
So grab a packetof Jolly Sailor, pour yourself a glass of special sheep linament, and read this book! *****
Tiffany Aching, the heroine of the story, inquisitive and mature for her nine years, views herself as an apprentice witch. She has the tools: a cast-iron frying pan, a piece of string, an unusual book of recipes, and, above all, the memory of her very special granny. To rescue her brother, Tiffany has to enter a fairyland, full of strange and dangerous creatures, all controlled by an evil "Quin". Fortunately, she has inherited "first sights and second thoughts" - a powerful combination for a budding witch. These are essential talents for her to distinguish between reality and dreams: "to see what is really there" and what is imagination created within a dream. "Follow your dream", Miss Tick's advice to Tiffany, builds up to a real challenge when Tiffany, after fighting wild animals and dream-creating dromes finally confronts the Queen. She has to peel off layer after layer of their dreams to escape from being taken over by them, then use her own dreaming power to find a way back to her own reality.

Turning Vacant Spaces into Vibrant PlacesThe Center for Community Progress is the only national organization dedicated to helping cities, towns, states and regions across the United States reintegrate vacant, abandoned and blighted properties into the economic and civic life of their communities. Our work with local, state and federal stakeholders focuses on strategies to meet immediate challenges, like rampant foreclosures and economic decline, while also driving broader, systemic changes to better manage problem properties over the long term. Community Progress' experts provide on-the-ground support to public officials, agencies, community organizations and civic groups nationwide. Technical assistance services range from helping inventory and assess vacant, foreclosed or abandoned properties, to developing and implementing policies and strategies to acquire and repurpose those properties. We also offer conferences, leadership courses and a variety of workshops and roundtables to provide training on a range of strategies to deal with vacant and abandoned properties. These events are helping grow a national community of land reform practitioners and developing stakeholders' relationships with one another. |
The Community Progress BlogWith just a few dollars of chalkboard paint, a bucket of chalk, and some creativity, the group launched the "I Wish This Were A" (IWTWA) project. They stenciled "I wish this were a _____" over and over again on the building's wall facing the street, inviting the community to participate in the future of the abandoned Paro Party Store by writing in responses with chalk. Residents responded in full force. |
Policy TrackerOn July 17, 2013, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan announced that Illinois will designate $70 million to support revitalization efforts across the state. Funding comes from Illinois' share of the $25 billion national mortgage foreclosure settlement with the country's largest mortgage servicers. |

the 1st part episode1-25 is available for sale online and spore/indonesia are already selling the full set. i borrowed the series frm my fren but im rather disappointed with the beginning though, its a little draggy and boring though it does get a little better when the series progresses..suprisingly i dun really dislike michelle in here, shes tolerable.Originally Posted by VN2004
gyy character is the daughther of a highly skilled japanese swordsman. her kter 1st appears as a 12yr old girl in episode8 and gyy appears in episode9. despite her plain and somewad weird japanese outfits n hair, she still manages to look pretty and charming. her kter is a very mysterious and complex one which makes her very interesting and the fact that she is highly skilled in martial arts is even better. its really cool seeing her perform those japanese swordplays and shes not the weak, vulnerable kinda ger.
though her screentime's not alot compared to michelle, as she appears only in episode9-11 and later on in 24 till almost the end, i think her kter stands out and her acting skills are very good in here. i like almost all the male characters but for the female kters, i only like gyy and the 1 who acts as her older sis. michelle is too sterotype while tammy is ok but her role's too normal and predictable.

Within the place where dead dimensions rest, its guardian watches over the graves and spirits. Looking up into the grey sky, dark spheres, filled with the remaining negative energy of dead dimensions float towards an area where they are to be disposed of. The guardian reached out to one of the spheres, and let it fall to its hand. For a minute, the guardian stared at it, caught in deep thought. As if to purposely break its concentration, a cloaked individual, not of this place, walked towards the guardian, who turned to face the visitor.
"What is it that you called me here for?" Asked the cloaked individual.
In a ghastly voice, the guardian replied,"There is a creature that lives off of the negative energy of the Dimensions. It thought of nothing but destruction and jealousy for the still existing dimensions, so it set off to destroy them. It was formed in this place, so I was able to seal it away, but i was not able to destroy it."
"So you want me to destroy it?"
"No. Even you aren't able to do that. What I need you to do is summon some forgotten warriors."
"And why's that?"
"Before I sealed the creature, it released five smaller beings from its own body. These beings have been gathering negative energy from the five existing dimensions that I've used as locks for the creature's seal. They send it to their master from the outside of the seal, and are sent minions in return. I think that they are planning on destroying the locks and releasing their master."
"That part was obvious." Sighed the individual "So what you want me to do is summon warriors to fight these beings. And you failed to mention anything about the warriors from existing dimensions. Aren't they able to fight these creatures?"
"Their enemies are made of pure negative energy. In order for them to fight these enemies, they would need to be surrounded by the aura of those whose dimensions were destroyed before its intended end. You know the kind all too well."
The individual was silent for a moment, but then said, "Fine. I'll summon them."
The individual simply disappeared, allowing the guardian to return to its duties. It gripped the sphere in its hand in hope that the warriors will succeed.
A large port city, bustling with activity and conversations, stands proud in the brightness of the sun. Here, people live their everyday lives, not knowing that they could be attacked by forces they have never known. Near this city was a tower, where the cloaked individual and its assistants work on the preparations for the summoning process. A large mystical circle, with formulas written within it and rare items surrounding it, was drawn on the bottom floor. Once all preparations were finished, the cloaked figure walked to the symbol's center and spoke in a forgotten language. The symbol shone, and the summoning commenced.
A distance from the tower and city, a figure whose face was masked in bandages stood, with an army of creatures behind him.
"There's the killswitch." It said. "Let's advance"

Lea Michele made two mistakes on Saturday: She stepped out for a nail salon appointment in Los Angeles sporting a comfy gray T-shirt, and she apparently swallowed some sort of sustenance.
Faster than you can say "baby jazz hands," the paparazzi began speculating that the petite "Glee" actress might be expecting a bundle of musical joy with her boyfriend and co-star, Cory Monteith.
Seems the shutterbugs suspected that Lea was using her oversized black bag to cover up a barely perceptible belly bulge. Of course, less than a week earlier, Lea showed no signs of a swelling midsection when she posed in a see-through black gown at Elle's annual Women in Hollywood event.
So, is there a Broadway-loving baby on the way?
Michele, 26, who recently gushed that she "definitely" wants kids ("As many as I can!"), quickly laughed off the bun-in-the-oven rumors, tweeting on Monday, "My first fake pregnancy rumor! I've finally made it! :)"

text: The Switchback in its mini bagger form. Lose weight fast! BOGO! Just a couple of highly effective marketing terms we felt Harley could have easily incorporated into the promotional material for its latest model, the Dyna Switchback. It seems everyone and their physical trainer is always seeking out the latest fad to quickly drop a few pounds. And why not, slimming down helps you look and feel better and you can move quicker and are more agile. Well, what if we told you there was a weight loss program where you could shed nearly 100 pounds without cutting back on your Big Mac intake or jogging a single mile? It's possible. Simply roll into your local Harley dealership and trade in that 812*-pound Road King for a svelte 718*-pound Dyna Switchback. And best of all, with a price tag that rings in $1,500 cheaper than a King (pricing on Vivid Black models), with the Switchback you're essentially scoring yourself a BOGO (buy one get one) deal, seeing as the Switchback is basically two bikes in one. Of course the idea of two bikes in one isn't a totally new concept from Harley by far, the Factory has offered convertibles in the FXR, Dyna, and Softail families. What is unique and different about the Switchback is that with its 41.3mm frontend, chromed headlight nacelle, 130mm front tire, floorboards, hard saddlebags, and full swept FL-style fenders, it looks like a descendant of the Touring lineage rather than just a Dyna with hardbags and a windscreen. Then when you peel off the windscreen and saddlebags, well, it still kind of looks like part of the Touring family, just stripped down, cleaned up, and sexier. And stripped down ready to cruise to bike night. Once you throw a leg over the saddle and hit the streets it becomes evident this bike isn't the offspring of some overweight sofa glide. It's agile, powerful, and likes the twisties—ah ha! It does have Dyna DNA. I spent quite a bit of time on the Switchback and was impressed with everything from its looks and handling to the performance, storage capacity, and versatility. The Harley engineers really did their homework when it came to setting up the steering and suspension to ensure the bike had the comfortable and plush ride of a Tourer, but the maneuverability and handling of a Dyna. The frontend geometry, tire specs, and suspension were all designed to work together to provide crisp and lightweight steering. Within the beefy fork legs is a 20mm cartridge which helps provide enhanced damping, while at the rear is a set of Nitrogen-charged monotube rear shocks with dual rate springs. The rear shocks are preload adjustable, which make it easy to set up the rear suspension for solo, two-up, or loaded-up riding. Back up front a 130mm Dunlop provides a nice steady footprint while bombing down the highway, but the low-profile design of the tire helps get the bike over and in and out of tight turns with ease. One thing I definitely noticed was that unlike the members in the Touring family which can sometimes provide unwanted feedback in the form of shimmying or shaking when upset by inconsistencies in the road at high speeds and/or high-speed turns, the Switchback was solid from tire to tire at excessive speeds, tight sharp turns, and when loaded up and leaned over in high-speed sweepers. Even when I gave the mini ape handlebars a good shove while cruising straight down the highway, the bike steadily kept its line without the rear getting squirrely or needing time to settle down. Powered by the 103ci engine and backed by the six-speed transmission, the Switchback gets to where it needs to be or where you want it (in front of that big rig) with ease. Granted its not going to break any land speed records, but with the saddlebags fully loaded and a touring bag strapped to a luggage rack, I was able to easily slip past slow moving traffic on inclines without having to drop it down into Fifth. Weighing in 43 pounds lighter than the Heritage Softail Classic (761* pounds), and only 12 pounds heavier than the next heaviest Dyna, the Fat Bob (706* pounds), the Switchback is easy to unload off the kickstand but not so heavy that it hinders the performance or potential of the triple-digit-displacement engine. (If you haven't done the math already, the Switchback is 94 pounds lighter than the Road King.) Bolted to the right side of the rubber-mounted engine is a chromed 2-into-1 straight-cut exhaust which offers a decent note and gives the bike more of a performance look as opposed to the classic look of duals found on Touring models. And unlike the Touring models in which the exhaust is secured to the rear of the saddlebag supports, Harley engineers designed the rear exhaust hanger bracket to mount off the back of the drivetrain and to actually move with the drivetrain. With overall weight a main concern, Harley opted for an aluminum rear hanger bracket as opposed to steel. Slowing the Switchback down or coming to an immediate stop safely is assisted by a four-piston fixed front caliper and 300mm uniform expansion floating rotor, with a two-piston torque-free rear caliper cinching down on a 292mm rotor. The bike I tested was outfitted with the Security Package Option (additional $1,195) which bundles the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) with the Smart Security System with proximity-based hands-free security fob. As we've experience with other ABS-equipped bikes the pulsating brakes in tight situations works well. 1 | 2 | 3 | » | View Full Article By Eric Ellis Enjoyed this Post?

Some theorycrafting for you:
About 5 months ago, after a large number of complaints from the community, received a good nerf by becoming charge based.
The whole strange this is before that, remained unchanged for a very long time, as far back as beta iirc. During that time, it was commonly considered a mediocre pickup on most heroes.
There have been different theories about WHY this item changed from mediocre to OP status. Some site the illusive "shift in the meta-game". They might be right. Who knows? The meta-game itself isn't easy to pin down.
Others say it's because some of the new S2 heroes benefit from it too much, such as pre-nerf and . But that doesn't explain why it became so good on other heroes like and , who remained unchanged for a very long time.
So I have this new, very simple theory about why became such a cry-worthy item. It's so simple, you might not even have noticed it: it's because they removed the secret shop 6 months before. Really, that's all there is to it. was never OP. It just became easier to build one.
I realized this recently when trying out that OTHER game, namely Dota 2, and tried to build a vanguard () on venomancer (). Vanguard does weigh in a bit lighter at 50 hp less than for the same price. But what I noticed was that building one was a TOTAL PAIN IN THE ASS. You can get the ring of health () from the side shop or secret shop, but not from the main base. You can only get the vitality booster () at the secret shop. On top of this, you don't get a free courier in dota 2, so making your trek across the map to build this sucker takes a lot of time, especially in that critical early game when is so important. I do remember doing all this in before HoN, but I never actually remembered how much of a pain it was until doing it all again.
So there you have it. My theory for the day.
How about no.
Has a rubber duck named "Mr. Quackers."

Blog yo
Secret Shop to me has both good and bad sides to it.
The good is that it can lead to planned ganks on someone expected going there (or at least killing enemy team courier which grants your whole team gold).
The midleground (both good and bad) is that you have to run somewhere outside your base (or send your courier) to spend your gold before dying to get an item you desire, however dota handles gold slightly differently than in HoN due to reliable and unreliable gold.
The bad is mostly in pubs where unless you got it yourself, you have no courier and have to spend time leaving your lane to go to get something rather than just buy it into your stash like in HoN.
I think the biggest "saving" point that still keeps the Secret Shop acceptable in dota is the reliable/unreliable gold mechanic. If most of your gold is acquired from reliable sources (structures, courier, kills, assists, bounty hunter etc) then you don't mind the secret shop so much really. Dota in general though has other "issues" that HoN doesn't, and of course HoN has a few that dota doesn't. And since the games have gone different routes in some aspects it's simply expected. Now if they could only fix so you can set wards where you want them in dota2, it may actually be more fun and worthwhile to play. Having forced locations where you can ward is full on retard.
There was a signature here.
As strange as it sounds, I'm of the opinion that ease of access contributed to the HOTBL FIRST EVERY HERO thing as well... Seriously....
The problem with the old HotBL was if you got it early enough on certain heroes it was extremely strong. The EHP increase in those situations were too great. But I don't think nerfing it was needed, nor do I care that it was nerfed. I believe it was strong at the time because of the metagame.
Let's ignore that whole "well, it gives just as much EHP as Behemoth's Heart for 40% of the cost" thing.....yeah, it was the Secret Shop!
I'm judged by my wild image a lot
And everybody seems to think I have a sinister plot
I do! Be offended by every sentence I jot
I got some militant thoughts, and you ain't killin' 'em off!
So listen...
Different metagames means that HoN is evolving in a different way to DotA/DotA 2. Therefore when we saw the rise in occurence of "tanky" heroes in HoN that contributed to a "tanky" metagame (that was in turn countered by a spell of high-damage/utility nukers) highlighted the strength of the old HotBL.
Often it's difficult to tell if someone is too strong or weak until you see it being used a lot.
EDIT: yeah the above poster put it a tad more succinctly.

Tying up the courier for a little longer wasn't what stopped anyone from going Helm of the Black Legion.
This. Whenever I start a Dota2 game I try to build items where I don't have to use the secret shop, it's an annoyance.
Never feeled so relieved when I don't have to fly 5 more seconds with the flying courier to the secret shop and back to the lane.
If these extra 5 seconds you don't have to take anymore made HotBL op, then this game is screwed.
Vote for my Suggestions:
UI Update for HoN based on Strife Elements
Maybe it was the easy purchase of HotBL that gave rise to the tanky metagame? Just a thought.
Let's look at the way I play zephyr, as he went unchanged for a long time, until more recent nerfs.
When I USED to play zephyr, I'd usually do something like this (with secret shop):
1. Go to short lane
2. Try to farm up gold for life tube
3. Try to buy a life tube from the side shop IF the lane is pushed, but more likely to get ganked if it is. If not, run courier up to secret shop to get life tube. Hope we have a courier! Remember, free courier was added AFTER secret shop was removed. If it's walking, need to walk it back to base first so it doesn't die. Hope mid doesn't want that courier! Almost never had flying courier that early in pub games.
4. I'd usually go jungle at this point, but might stay if farm is good.
5. Use courier to bring boots.
6. Again, run courier up to secret shop to get beast heart, back down to base (if walking), and back to me. Hope mid doesn't want that courier!
7. Now I can kick ass with my HotBL!
- Note, if I happen to die, I have to walk/port myself or send courier to the secret shop to get lifetube and beast heart.
This is how I usually play zephyr NOW (no secret shop):
1. Go to short lane.
2. Try to farm up gold for life tube
3. Try to buy a life tube from the side shop IF the lane is pushed. If not, have the courier bring it to me. I can also have it deliver it to me when jungling close to base so it only makes a short trip.
4. I usually go jungle at this point, but might stay if farm is good.
5. Use courier to bring boots. Like #3, a short trip with the courier in the jungle.
6. Use courier to get beast heart. Like #3, a short trip with the courier in the jungle.
7. Now I can kick ass with my HotBL!
- Note, if I happen to die, I can just buy components in base.
I don't know about you, but I like version #2 a lot better. And remember, HotBL was an item that rocked when you got it EARLY, because it's physical deflection was such a large part of your enemy's auto attacks. Got it 3-5 minutes later and you were quite a bit less powerful.
Last edited by tyrantanic; 07-01-2012 at 12:32 AM.
The problem is, it's not a "little bit". Getting a life tube and then a beast heart to you in the short lane with a walking courier takes almost FIVE minutes. Though the flying courier obviously fares better. And remember, when the secret shop was in the game, the free courier did NOT exist in the game. So you didn't always have it in pub games, let alone a flying one.
That would make sense if everything that you needed the secret shop for got nerfed but they did not. Your theory has obvious holes.
Yeah but HotBL is the only one you got from the secret shop EARLY. Getting it early gave you that huge deflection advantage which everyone complained about, and which is exactly the part they nerfed. Also, taking time to get it from the secret shop dropped your early gpm, which snowballs to a larger amount later on (you know how compound interest works and all that).
The only other small items were mana-ring and sustainer. Mana-ring changed so many times that I can't remember the details of how it worked. Sustainer might be good early on, but most people saved buying the mana tube later on because it's percentage based, unlike the lifetube which is flat-point based.

If someone thought that grunge is history then he's wrong. It's spirit is very much alive and Bloody Knees who opened for Sharks @ Barfly reminded (or showed, considering the average age of the audience) what's the 90s vibe.
Vivid, sometimes furious performance, full of expressive moves and…
Early in his recent chat with Diffuser.fm, Sharks singer and guitarist James Mattock revealed that his band is plotting a trip to America — and not just to tour. The U.K. foursome is thinking of relocating, and while their sound owes much to homegrown influences — the Clash, most notably — such a move would make sense. Sharks' biggest tours have been with American roots-punk heavies Social Distortion and theGaslight Anthem, and they're arguably more popular here than they are at home. They're even signed to Oregon-based Rise Records, which recently released 'Selfhood,' their second full-length set of brisk pop-punk burners.
Mattock wrote 'Selfhood' while living above a morgue, and he's described the album as his most personal to date. Indeed, the songs touch on fear and self-loathing and other emotions common among 20-somethings, but as always, Sharks temper the heaviness with somewhat cryptic lyrics and truly mammoth hooks. Chatting with Diffuser.fm from a tour stop in Brighton, England, Mattock outlined his approach to songwriting and the reasons why he doesn't sing specifically about the British experience. He also big-upped the Alkaline Trio and Against Me! and explained why 'Selfhood' is a grower — just like his favorite albums by Morrissey and the Cure.
How's the tour been going so far?
It's alright. A lot of people are on their essays, or whatever. Exams. Some shows are great. Some shows aren't so good. That's how it goes, really.
I heard talk you might come to the States later this year.
There's talk of relocating, which would be great.
Oh, really?
Yeah. There are a lot of things logistically that come with that. I'm pretty sure we're going to have a bit of downtime this summer and figure it all out. I don't think there's anywhere else we can go in the U.K. this year.
If you were to move to the U.S., where would you want to live?
I'd want to move to Portland, just like in the ['Selfhood'] song ['Portland']. I'd probably drag everyone with me.
But then you'd have to leave the morgue. That could hurt the songwriting.
I'm out of the morgue, actually. I'm pretty sure I would have frozen to death by now [laughs]. We had literally no choice but to do that, because it was ridiculously cold. I stayed there until December of last year, when it got too brutal.
Did living above a morgue make you think of mortality and things like that. It doesn't really come across on the new record, though on 'Room With a Grey View,' there's that line about how you're young now but not for long.
I think that's definitely what people would have expected. It would have been easy for me to write about that theme, mortality and whatever. But I always kind of weave those darker subjects into the lyrics anyway. I tried to make it a bit less serious. There's a bit of humor in the song '22,' but it's some very dry humor. At the end of the day, I didn't take it too seriously. I didn't want people to think it's some bleak, introspective thing.
People also might have expected a musically somber album — lots of pared-down, minor-key songs — but this album, even more so than your last one, 'No Gods,' is filled with big guitar anthems that waste no time getting to the hooks. Was that a goal, to make a poppy album?
It's interesting. A lot of people have said the opposite. I think it's way more of a grower than 'No Gods.' The melodies are a bit more intelligent and thought-out. I enjoy that. They're songs you can always go back to and never get bored of, whereas something that instantly blows you away, there's nowhere for it to grow in your ears. A lot of records I [loved] on first listen kind of slip my mind the quickest, rather than the ones that take time to grow. I was proud of the fact it was one of those more roomy records you can go back to and pick up on certain details that refresh the whole idea of the song in your head. The whole interpretation can change.
It's very quick. It's very short. That was our intention, too.
What are some of the albums you didn't like at first but have come to love? We, like you, are big fans of the Specials, and their second album, 'More Specials,' is a great example of that.
There are definitely some weirder bands I come back to and fall in love with. Leatherface is a really good example. Do you know that band? I listened to them at first, and it was so ugly and so unlistenable. But something brings you back to it, and you listen to it more, and you realize it's quite beautiful, in such a raw way. It's very real and gutsy. They're one of my favorite bands, for sure.
I agree with you on the Specials. That record's weird. and bands like the Cure, they have weird records I'll never get bored of. My taste is always developing. And that's a good thing.
I recently read a piece about the Cure's 'Wild Mood Swings' being a lousy record, but it's one of my favorite Cure albums.
Yeah, I was into the big Cure records initially and was a bit [turned off by] the '90s Cure. I listen to those records now and absolutely adore them. I was missing out on them for so long. Same with Morrissey. Morrissey's solo records, I got into sort of late, even from being a Smiths fan. I love all his records to death.
Same here. 'Kill Uncle' is one people seem to hate, but there are some great songs on there.
I love that record. But more specifically for me, when I heard 'Your Arsenal,' and it had that glam vibe, I was like, "No way! This is what I'm gonna be listening to." I love that incarnation of Morrissey, that phase.
Speaking of, in a review of 'Selfhood,' one critic describes you as "more Morrissey than Joe Strummer," i.e. more of a personal songwriter than a political one. But your songs always have a bit of ambiguity to them. Do you purposely try to not reveal too much of yourself in your lyrics?
In the past, yeah, but this one, it was very much heart on my sleeve. It's the most direct my lyrics have ever been. It made me really nervous to show the band. It's pretty personal. I did touch into the bleaker thoughts and stuff. Not to say I'm always depressed or anything. It's a snapshot of a couple of months of writing, and that's why it's such a theme. i very much had this idea of being as blunt as possible and giving that a go. In the past, the lyrics were way more cryptic and ambiguous. [This one] is like [the Smiths'] 'Meat is Murder.' Every song is very direct and about something specific. I'm very proud of that.
People often compare you to Brian Fallon of Gaslight Anthem and Mike Ness of Social D, both of whom you've toured with. Those guys tend to write a lot about place: Southern California and New Jersey, respectively. That doesn't come across in Sharks songs, though. You don't sing about, like chip shops and the like. Why is that?
I don't know. Bruce Springsteen did it so well, and that's great, because it paints very romantic picture of living in Jersey and stuff. I don't know. I don't have that much sentiment for the surroundings, and I don't need to include those geographical references. I'm not gonna talk about eating a kebab and whatever. There are bands that do that in the U.K., and it sounds really cheesy to me.
Arctic Monkeys or something.
To be fair, I love the Arctic Monkeys, and they're amazing. They do it in style. They represent being a Brit in its truest form. But I'm more attracted to the universal thing, really. You can be from anywhere in the world and still get it. It's about emotion, really.
You've talked about getting into punk via American bands like Rancid and Green Day, which is interesting. On an album like 'Dookie,' the songs speak to being a bored suburbanite who masturbates all day, but in Sharks songs, there's not that same apathy. Do you think that's true? How do you describe your songwriting voice, or the mood of the songs.
One band that was really pivotal I discovered when I was 14, when I was already into music, was Alkaline Trio. That was a band that, when I discovered, it was all I listened to for the next five months. The lyrics and and everything was something I was really into, in every aspect — the darkness and the humor. That really touched me. The second wave that was really significant was Against Me! That's when I got into the politics more. I was really into Crass and Discharge and all those bands, too. Against Me were just so powerful. They were as powerful as the Clash, just those early records. Laura Jane Grace is my favorite lyricist, hands down. Incredible lyrics.
I just want to be good and really think about the lyrics, because I've been spoken to through songs, and I want to inspire that.

Magistrates court again leaves Winchester
3:55pm Tuesday 9th October 2012 in News By Andrew Napier
MAGISTRATES have stopped sitting at Winchester Law Courts after a temporary relocation from Basingstoke.
The magistrates returned to Winchester last September to allow for a revamp in Basingstoke.
Their sitting in Winchester was for the first time since the local courts closed in 1995.
Now rebuilding work at Basingstoke has finished, some three months late, and its work resumed on Monday, October 1.
The two magistrates' courts in Winchester closed in the mid-1990s amid much controversy that the county town should be without one.
Basingstoke Magistrates' Court has been extended to create a county court.

That crossed my mind too. Implied multiplication with parentheses can be misleading too, though: is f(x) "f times x" or "f of x"? The result of all this is that there's no single absolutely unambiguous way to express multiplication. It seems to me that the most widely understood ways are * and parentheses, with care taken to avoid the ambiguous circumstances surrounding each. |
For all values that are not X = 2, y = 4 - x. For value of X = 2, y = 0. Basically it's a y = 4 - X graph with an exception at value X = 2. Example. f(x) = [-1 if x < 0 ] [15 if x = 0 ] [ 1 if x > 0 ] Basically this says from the interval (-∞,0) the y value is -1. At x = 0 the y value is 15. From the interval (0,∞) the y value is 1. |
Thanks, Atrophy. 'Nother question. So, the text book I'm using vaguely teaches us that any point can have a limit (except the certain specific exceptions), and that's all fine and dandy, until it asks us to fine all the limits on a graph, and there are no existing, er, hole-based limits (by hole, I mean the point where a function can't exist) on the graphs, Ought I just put "No Limits"? Or should I list the limits that don't exist and say every other point has a limit? Or can real points even have limits? My calc teacher's been gone the past days, and the sub hasn't got a clue. Related: Say you have one of the cases where a limit can't exist, such as on a vertical asymptote, and part of the problem states that that point has a value. Does that value become the limit, even though it wouldn't exist normally? Semi-Related: My calc teacher was (when he was here) teaching the class by teaching us how to use a TI-89. Problem is, I don't have a TI-89. |
On any two variable function graph there are an infinite number of points and therefore an infinite number of limits(I think, I can't think of any functions that aren't continuous on SOME interval). Remember a limit is the value that the function approaches, not it's actual value there. To answer your question I would put the intervals where the limits do exist. Graph y = sin(π/x). In the domain (-1,1) the y-values fluctuate an infinite number of times, yielding an undefined limit for any number in that domain. I'd answer this problem with "Limits exist for all numbers on intervals (-∞,1) and (1,∞) To answer your related question, No. Graph y = 1/x. The limit as x approaches 0 is ∞, that will remain the limit regardless of if there is a provision stating that at x = 0, y = 3. TI-89...eww. TI-83 Plus here, tried and true. |

Although the words ringworm, jock itch, and athlete's foot may sound funny, if you have one of these skin infections, you're probably not laughing.
The good news is that tinea, the name for this category of common skin infections, is usually easy to treat. Read on to learn some fast facts about foot fungus.
Tinea (pronounced: tin-ee-uh) is the medical name for a group of related fungal skin infections that affect the skin, nails, or scalp, including athlete's foot, jock itch, and ringworm (despite its name, ringworm is not a worm).
These infections are caused by several types of mold-like fungi called dermatophytes (pronounced: der-mah-tuh-fites) that live on the dead tissues of your skin, hair, and nails.
The medical name for athlete's foot is tinea pedis. Usually, athlete's foot affects the soles of the feet and the areas between the toes, and it may also spread to the toenails. Athlete's foot can also spread to the palms of your hands, groin, or underarms if you touch your feet and then touch another area of your body.
Athlete's foot doesn't just aggravate athletes; anyone whose feet tend to be damp or sweaty can get this infection. The fungi that cause athlete's foot thrive in warm, moist environments.
The signs and symptoms of athlete's foot include itching, burning, redness, and stinging on the soles of the feet. The skin may flake, peel, blister, or crack.
Athlete's foot is contagious. It's often spread in damp areas, such as public showers or pool areas. To avoid getting athlete's foot, dry your feet — and the spaces between your toes — thoroughly after showering or swimming. Use a clean towel. (Avoid sharing towels because doing so can spread the infection.) If you use public showers, like those in the locker room, wearing waterproof shoes or flip-flops is a good way to protect your feet.
To keep your feet as dry as possible, try not to wear the same shoes or sneakers all the time, and don't wear socks that make your feet sweat or trap moisture. Cotton or wool socks are a good bet. You can also find socks made of special "moisture wicking" fabrics in many sports stores — these are designed to keep feet dry.
If possible, choose sneakers that are well ventilated — some sneakers contain small ventilation holes that help to keep your feet dry.
A doctor can often diagnose athlete's foot simply by examining the affected area. Your doctor may also take a small scraping of the skin on your foot. This sample is then examined under a microscope or sent to a laboratory for culture to see if the fungi that cause athlete's foot are present.
If you have athlete's foot, over-the-counter antifungal creams and sprays may solve the problem. Most mild cases of athlete's foot usually clear up within 2 weeks, but it is common for athlete's foot to recur (come back), so some people use medicated powders and sprays to prevent this from happening.
If an athlete's foot infection is more serious, it can take longer than a couple of weeks to get better. In these cases, it's a good idea to see your doctor, who may prescribe a stronger antifungal cream, spray, or pill.

What Is A Good Unemployment Number, Really?
By editor

On Friday, new unemployment numbers will be released for December. In last month's report, the unemployment rate dropped to 7.7 percent, a four-year low. For a preview of the labor market prospects for the new year, Steve Inskeep talks to Nariman Behravesh, chief economist at IHS Global Insight, an international consulting firm.

On -- week when the job market took another hit Joseph is hitting back with a plan and to get jobs back now.
-- a lot of welcome mobile -- that I -- box on top.
Vice president Joseph Biden -- an over the top picks for the economy and jobs.
And it has nothing to do with the private sector -- happens to be adding jobs right now.
-- -- Did those so called job creators.
Will make everything okay for the rest of us we believe.
But the way to build this country who -- we always from the middle.
That's how it's always been done and the way to do that is -- that things have always made our economy grow.
Innovation research development infrastructure and education.
-- -- -- the vice president did it not look like a hostage state.
You've got a government already spending more than -- three embarks on jobs and isn't getting much bang for those -- Now wants to spend more gearbox on job so we are asking this morning.
What the buck.
Charles -- -- McDowell Adam was his -- solace in just a pain with that.
Let's -- government was better than the private sector Communist Russia would be the most powerful nation.
In the world.
You know any government official let -- the vice president -- states its -- economy.
Purple or does it might you can reduce the riveted to have a -- a lot of -- we're obviously these days but.
It up for the vice president to suggest he has this little faith and American citizens.
Really did all we ever do is go out -- not to ambition they did they denigrate success.
And then they say let us do we can handle it it's just ridiculous and by the -- -- -- the audience was -- audience that.
And I don't think we're gonna.
-- candidate just take a look at -- behind a bit of delighted to be there but.
Adam you're looking at this you're hearing this you're watching this I mean you must even be saying c'mon.
-- -- -- Well Neil I'm delighted to be here just just just just to say just to get -- out here.
Now I understand your point but I I don't agree at all I mean I'd I'd listen to what he said I read what he said all of what he said by the way and I think first -- -- This is politics he's -- the private equity crowd is hitting.
Mitt Romney I don't agree with all the criticisms of private equity but what he's saying -- these so called job creators.
That's true they are interested in doing what's right for their investors sometimes that helps create jobs in the US sometimes it doesn't that's a -- So at times and I can be it's clearly some group that Adam.
C'mon you know what's called and sometimes a little I don't know I mean those are using your utility that used in all your great resurgent.
Have found that private equity is -- net job killer -- -- net job creator.
I'm saying that creating jobs in the United States in some sort in some jurisdiction is not the job of the private equity industry my word value and a final bill that is it what I would want them to let you know your business what I ordered the -- -- investing in education.
And infrastructure that's exactly what kind of -- should be doing there's nothing objectionable -- don't you and I cover this stuff.
You know we've been covering this stuff a long time.
This is a pretty simple question they create jobs but they kill jobs based on my research they create a lot more jobs what do you say -- Tablet but Charlie we can have the same debate about you know do firefighters.
Or police forces create job well we.
Don't go away and I think deserves a little there -- -- you may -- -- ministerial we really wants to argue over this very point and and that's the point.
That whether private jobs or not we're not getting them we're not getting -- -- -- -- I want.
Does the latest quarter is running at about third the pace who were in the first quarter and it sets a very big worries for this quarter in the final.
It sets up very big worries for the White House I disagree with Adam on the point is that this is just political it is not this is the economic policy.
Of this White House that government knows better than elected officials know better than people who work and run private company.
And we have gotten -- the person -- our debt our national debt now.
As of the percentage held by the public.
If -- in the year will be 78%.
In no way.
It was 40%.
So where is that money going not to create jobs because we still have an unemployment rate of eight point 2%.
One percentage point.
Lower the one point one percentage points lower -- where was it everywhere nine -- as a but I.
It has to be a class argument or even though with the end of the week administration was arguing much -- that -- -- -- was Fox's fault.
I do think Charles we have to get back to the idea the jobs.
Are just not materialize and you can argue whether that's just a class argument or not it's just a basic economic fact argument the jobs aren't materializing.
The unemployment rate is staying stubbornly high.
The frustration -- staying stubbornly high.
And and that is a real -- We -- factory orders back to where they were in the height of the recession we have the services sector looking at numbers that were just after the recession.
I mean this -- -- guys.
We're gone backwards there's no doubt about it and I don't I don't I don't the Biden you know this about.
By the way private equity two when I think job creators I'm thinking about.
Husband -- wife alone.
A lawn mowing service and they have twelve employees because those are the kind of people that are really created jobs and I think those the policies in the threats from the administration.
Have held back.
These kind of went though I think -- obamacare does not have a video and what they think is part of the big -- the -- they are trying to say they're trying to blame what's going on right now there's no doubt that on the put either that or picture it may be -- -- they -- that what you punish everyone of course represented the Obama tax thing on dividends doesn't just hit very rich people you got 250 grand rightly did it's a smokes it hits it hits and hit it hurts it hurts of people investing in a private economy I think what you see here.
Is an attack on the private economy.
Relentless and journalists not holding them accountable -- a very simple fact.
Outside is where I get -- you know -- odds -- -- Adam.
Are hard -- a private equity.
The notion that private money goes into these companies did it cost jobs in the long run or did as it hurt job is.
Cost of creating jobs on Ellen yeah it's created more jobs and people like -- just say other current seems to be too and yet that you don't get in Condo out there front center.
Is that if you would just it -- Republicans it just let us and more money than unemployment rate it would have been here.
Here's what I'm saying nobody here but I do want it addresses because here's what I do see -- my simple mind I see the blame game continued just in a more artful form.
So the reason why we're not seeing more private sector -- gains because -- private sector guys were running this or just self assess obese.
Then it's boxes does materialize in this class warfare.
It's everyone but them -- forty.
Two months into an administration that is still busy blaming the other guy still blaming private equity folks still blaming anyone.
But itself and I think therein lies the -- That that did that voters are just getting rubbed the wrong way.
-- well we can either -- I I agree -- -- -- we can either we can either play their game -- all we can play our game I would say that -- -- Again it's just what is true I can tell people -- -- weight -- -- a thyroid issue.
It's not.
It's a Burger -- -- -- burger tonight go to Fredricka it's not a thought well -- it's a -- because it has.
My point is yeah why don't you face facts why does the administration look -- the -- that we've had 42 months to get our act together to get this moving and the needles not moving depending.
It's going in reverse we can't blame private equity guys we can't blame sinister private market forces -- they're not -- sinister.
We have to start taking some responsibility.
For this I think at that -- a lot of Americans who are critical news station.
Would at least on that point you give it to -- that they -- way to go finally -- waking up to the obvious.
I think you give the voters far too much credit to suggest that if you used if you show any weakness in politics or any hope.
I don't play I don't believe it I don't believe Tyler Kennedy Edmonton will be admitted a mistake get to the Bay -- -- His popularity shot up ten points within days I think you you give and very sort trip to voters you think Americans are stupid and I think -- think today it will say.
All of -- is all market don't as well political ideologues who don't think there are lots -- -- event.
But I just want to make one point we always give too much credit to the president when times are good and we blame the president too much when times are bad the.
Absolutely absolutely just I didn't know I was just -- -- say bad to say he was all but Hitler reincarnated I'd just spelling you know.
That this one has got to wake up and smell the coffee that he's responsible for at least putting it on the so.
The frightening.
The but the frightening possibility is Neil that they don't believe that they are responsible for any of this they do believe -- it's everybody else is all gonna everybody else's problem.
Frightening thing this is what they want.
How about this is that outcome that the president is now important not back there yeah I.
I had no clue what he's responsible.
A little bit I don't know -- -- I'm not fair trial.
No no I don't get burgers now you're -- -- -- -- -- -- -- but I will say it is again again again it's not a thyroid issue although the camera does they have that deep -- plenty.

TOWSON, Md. - The Towson University men's and women's swimming and diving teams have garnered Scholar All-America team recognition from the College Swimming Coaches Association of America for the spring term of 2012, the organization announced.
The women's team compiled a team grade point average of 3.52, tying for 10th in the nation with three other schools. It is the first time in the history of the women's program the team is in the top 10 nationally.
"I could not be prouder of our women for having earned this recognition," Towson coach Pat Mead said. "We have a great group of women returning this fall and I am confident our incoming women will do just as well."
Sophomore Dana Rzewnicki posted a perfect 4.0 G.P.A, while Caroline Woody added a 3.93 and Taylor Paskoff recorded a 3.89 G.P.A.
The men's team finished with a cumulative G.P.A. of 3.09 to earn the prestigious award. Sophomore Jordan Lingo had a 3.91, while classmate Matt Collingwood posted a 3.41 G.P.A.
"Our men did an outstanding job in the classroom this past spring," Mead said. "It is a great accomplishment for them to be to be recognized by the CSCAA again. Our men are showing they can be successful in the pool and in the classroom."

My wife and I first started cosplaying together before we had even gone on our first date... so to say that Cosplay is pretty important to us would be a bit of an understatement. When my she asked if I wanted to do my first Cosplay, Fox Mulder, I was really hesitant because I don't really look like him... boy am glad that I said yes! It's become such a fantastic hobby!

What is enthusiasm? Enthusiasm means to be connected to God within. When you are with your source, you can only be enthusiastic. Apathy is when you are away from the source of life. You cannot be but enthusiastic when your mind is totally in the present moment.
You should know that dispassion is not apathy. It is simply a broader perspective of reality. Dispassion is moving towards the source. Dispassion simply means the way back home. It is the journey towards the source, which is a reservoir of enthusiasm.
When dispassion and enthusiasm co-exist, that is the secret of perennial enthusiasm and profound dispassion. Though they appear to be opposite, they are actually complementary.

text: As far as countryside part goes....i agree its very beautiful...but again...its frustrating that developers didnt bother making it bigger. And lets be honest, making a countryside the size of the whole city would take about as much time as making one building for the downtown part of the game. You just gotta make a road and put random trees around it, and thats good enough. Just to make us able to cruise around... but no...they didnt bother with one aspect of this type of game which makes the game much much better (e.g. Mafia 1 and GTA:SA).

Health inspectors found one low performer this week. They also gave two restaurants a second chance.
This week's lowest score belongs to a low performer from last month. Domino's at 1600 Market Street in Wilmington scored an 82.5 in mid-June. The reinspection was not much better. Four points off because many items on the makeshift line were too warm. Three more off because pizza pans were stored dirty and had food residue. And two points off because there were several flies. Domino's on Market goes from 82.5 to 86 for back-to-back low performances.
Another regrade at Paradise Café in Holden Beach. It scored an 83 last time out. This time around the inspector found a repeat, four-point violation for raw chicken, raw shrimp and spinach pie at the wrong temperature. Still, a nine-point improvement to 92 for Paradise Café.
Finally to Carribay Soul on Front Street in Downtown Wilmington. Two points off because turkey, jerk chicken, veal chops and wings were too warm. The buffet is not approved and must end and be submitted for approval. The dish machine downstairs is not sanitizing. And several things need cleaning and fixing. 86.5 for Carribay Soul.
Just one high performer in this week's Kitchen Cops report. An inspector found no problems at Parchie's at the Port on Burnett Boulevard in Wilmington. A perfect 100.
