CHICAGO Demand for special bar quality (SBQ) products is lukewarm early in the new year, with pricing flat and unlikely to change through February, according to buyers and resellers. "We had a horrible November and December, worse than seasonally slow levels," a sales executive for an Ohio Valley distributor said. "Then we saw a huge inflow of demand since the first of the year. We have seen lots of new orders and quoting activity. We are getting large orders on our books for the year and smaller orders for immediate needs. We dont know if that will be sustained, but there is pent-up demand."....

XLR8R's Best of 2013: Features
Last week, XLR8R kicked off its Best of 2013 content by offering up a list of the year's most popular tunes from our Downloads section. Without question, the free downloads are some of the most easily digestible content on the site—which undoubtedly helps to explain why readers like them so much—but their popularity doesn't mean that we've lost our love for meatier articles. After all, XLR8R began as a print publication, and our drive to dig deeper, ask questions, and put together thorough, detailed articles hasn't been lost. Each week, XLR8R publishes at least two or three long-form features, and now that the end of the year is right around the corner, we've looked back and selected what we think are the 10 best of the bunch. On top of that, we've also checked our database and calculated which 10 features were the most popular with our readers. Read more »

Before you can vote your name must be on the electoral register.
Voting is completely confidential and you can cast your vote in one of three ways: -
Most people choose to vote in person at a polling station. Approximately 3 to 4 weeks before an election you will receive your polling card in the post. On this card you will find details of when, where and how to vote. It is easier if you take this with you when you vote although you can vote without it.
At the polling station you will be asked by the Poll Clerk for your name and address. You are required to say who you are and where you live rather than pointing to your name on the poll card. This verbal affirmation is proof that you are who you say you are. It is an offence to give false information and may result in prosecution.
You will then receive a ballot paper which will say how many candidates you can vote for. Simply take the ballot paper to a polling booth and put a cross next to the candidate(s) you wish to vote for.
Do not write anything else on the paper or you risk your vote not being counted. Fold the ballot paper to hide your vote, show the folded paper to the clerk and put it in the ballot box. You do not have to tell anyone who you voted for.
Elections are held between 7am to 10pm and are usually on a Thursday.
Have a look at the animated polling station walkthrough provided by the Electoral Commission to see how easy voting is.
More and more people are choosing to vote by post. A postal vote means you can receive their ballot paper in the post and return it to us by post. Although everyone on the electoral register is entitled to vote by post, you will need to apply for this well in advance of an election. Visit our Elections – voting by post page for further details.
A proxy vote means you can appoint another person to vote on your behalf, either at the polling station or by post. You will need to apply for this well in advance of an election and must meet certain eligibility criteria. Visit our Elections – voting by proxy page for further details.

Yurii Richards: Quotes Of A Self-Proclaimed Intellectual 2
That's right, Kiddos! Your favorite butterball braggart is back, this time boasting of his bookish bailiwick! If you were a fan of the original Yurii Richards: Quotes Of A Self-Proclaimed Intellectual, then this edition to my spiteful yet critically-commended caricature contempt of a former supervisor should leave you strokin' your bookworm!!!
"My favorite author is Anthony Burgess. I actually own a British copy of A Clockwork Orange that contains an omitted 21st chapter that's never been released in America. Kubrick didn't even include it in his film. Yeah, it's a pretty rare find."
-Yurii Richards, blowing his own horn regarding what he believes to be a literary anomaly, when in reality every edition of A Clockwork Orange published in the U.S. after 1986 includes the highly-imperative final chapter.
Tard Of The Rings: The Two Hipsters
Long ago, last August, I valiantly journeyed into the dark nether-realm of the Twitter kingdom. While there, I attempted to engage in the repartee being held amongst the various scribes, wizards and virtuosos of modern lore. In my attempts, I came across a brash, red-haired, fair-skinned maiden who, by no sarcastic intent of her own, had admonished her fellow wordsmiths on the proper use of the King's English, all the while using it incorrectly herself. Normally, I would turn a blind eye to a gesture of this caliber but, alas, the hypocrisy of preaching to the masses while ignoring her own advisement lured me in to politely call attention to the humorous blunder. Little did I know of the aftermath that my friendly instruction would bring upon myself and those dear to me.
In what seemed to be only sparse grains of sand through my hourglass, a full-fledged verbal attack of my own character and that of my trusty colleague, Eric Thomas Craven, had begun. Oddly enough, this attack was not perpetrated by the original syntax scholar herself. Instead, it was the stratagem of a creature that I had encountered before in my adventures, though only for a brief period, that had remained in my memories as one of the most slimy and bitter fiends that I had ever had the displeasure of rubbing eyeballs with. I pictured it as I last saw it; adorned in yesterdays' pajamas with an unkempt nest of greasy seaweed pouring down its' begrimed features; smoking compacted herbs contained within a papyrus shell as its' offspring slept in the next room; intentionally referring to me as "that guy in that band" (as to mock some delusion that it mistakenly figured I had of myself) amongst other "Juno-esque" witticisms. I was also reminded of tales that other villagers had bestowed unto me regarding this dastardly miscreation. These consisted of such evils as the blatant and pathetic act of coin thievery from former bunk-mates and dwelling, recklessly, in territories (with its' child in tow) frequently occupied by random drug addicts and other undesirables. "What self-righteous audacity?" I thought to myself as I witnessed how the Almosttiffany (that's the moniker that the creature chooses to go by) declared that I was a 30-year-old loser, going nowhere and doing nothing with my life. It went on to proclaim that I was a drunkard, announced my good friend, ETC, as "that guy that makes poop videos" and informed me that that's all either of us would ever amount to be. These seemed more like ill-perceived observations than the intended insults it had hoped to deliver. I giggled as I pictured this thing (that could maybe be considered ALMOST HUMAN) sitting in its' flimsy, glass hut, attempting to chuck boulders at us and coming up with only pebbles, all in an effort to defend its BFF's failure at cleverness. Needless to say, I sheathed my half-drawn Sword of Rebuttal and decided to take a more rational stab at defending myself.
This rendition of the Almosttiffany shows how truly repulsive the creature is to ones eyes.
After momentarily contemplating the creature's attempts at belittling us, I sent a messenger pigeon to ETC informing him of the things' slanderous venture. I knew that shortly he would arrive to assist me in my newfound quest to clear our quasi-sullied names. In the meantime, I felt it was my duty to proceed with debating the creature's baffling opinion. "What great feats will you have accomplished by the ripe age of thirty?" I solicited the thing. It was then that the creature laughably informed me that it already had obtained a more fulfilling existence than I by accidentally concieving, birthing and actually taking responsibility for its brood. Call me deranged, but I failed to see any logic in this theory. It then proceeded to boast of a magical ring that it had recently acquired from a seafaring voyager. It planned to use this ring to navigate itself and child to the distant and remarkable land of San Diego, where upon its' arrival it would be made Queen by this naval nincompoop. Meanwhile, ETC and myself would be left here in the menial trenches of Horseheads to rot with the other local underlings. I chuckled at its' naive chicanery. Having had my own exploits into the western regions end in eventual homecomings, I knew this monster couldn't possibly obtain the crown out there. Furthermore, having served temporarily in the King's Air Force, I was well aware of the uncontrollable desires that burn within the loins of young sailors and soldiers and how it usually leads to infidelity during their war-time absences. It was obvious, from my standpoint, that the creatures' best laid plans would shortly blow up in its' hideous face. I attempted to explain to the creature that life can and will change in an instant, with or without its' discretion, and it too would most-likely end up a "loser" similar to the one that I apparently was. The creatures' gargantuan pride had my warning fall upon deaf ears, but as the great book of fairy tales tells us, "pride comes before the fall". Obviously, I didn't need an enchanted ring to see her future.
It was around this point that my companion ETC arrived on the scene. Having also encountered the beast before, under different circumstances, he was well aware of its' wicked ways. His appearance was conjoined with a verbal, long-sword onslaught of ridicule angled at the demon. It seemed to have no effect on the slimy things' pride but did manage to sway it to retreat back to the murky burrow from where it had emerged, but not before it exclaimed one final and confusing allegation. My ever-fading memory robs me of the exact statement, but within it, my not-so-humble accomplice and I were refered to as "the oldest hipsters in Horseheads". Then, as expeditiously as the creature appeared, it vanished. ETC and I were left, confused and somewhat feeling robbed of a victory. In both of our minds, the same catechism loomed: what the fuck was a hipster???
Having temporarily vanquished the Almosttiffany, my compatriot and I decided to adopt a new mission. We were to get to the bottom of this strange language that the creature heckled us with before its' departure. Was the term "hipster" some accursed slang that meant certain doom for the both of us? I had heard of a Toddster before. Many of my tipsy evenings at the local tavern had been spent having my beverages prepared by one, but this new vernacular had both of us completely stumped. Fearing, at worst, our inevitable demise, we decided to consult the great and wise Wikipedia, a knowledgeable yet sometimes misinformed Elder who lived on the far side of the Wikimedia Forest. Surely, he would have an answer for us.
Our journey was just starting and the animals were wet farting.
After venturing through the Bogs of Google News and stopping for a moment to visit some mutual friends that seemed very self-absorbed (just chattering away about all of their personal problems and tedious daily agendas) in the Facebook Meadows, we arrived at the shadowy threshold of the Wikimedia Forest. It was shortly thereafter that we were able to find Wikipedia and pose our curious inquisition. "Wikipedia, we so gratefully beg of thee… what is a hipster?" ETC bravely asked the astute being. We waited patiently for a reply. Suddenly, the wise one spoke. "Hipster is a term frequently used to refer to a subculture of young, recently settled urban middle class adults and older teenagers. Usage of the term reappeared in the 1990s and persists to the present. The subculture is associated with independent music, a varied non-mainstream fashion sensibility, and alternative lifestyles. Interests in media would include independent film, magazines such as Vice and Clash, and websites like Pitchfork Media." ETC and I looked at each other. "Oh" we gasped,"That's all?" With a sensation of disappointment, we started to walk away. Abruptly, I turned back toward the genius to ask one more thing. "Wikipedia, why is the term "hipster" used as a derogatory categorization?" I yelped. "It's the same as any other classification, young and handsome Tony Shaddock." he replied,"The term was created by some idiot that couldn't understand certain aspects of people's behavior, lifestyle, appearance or interests. Much like when people use such terms as nigger, faggot and retard, just not as severely degrading. Sometimes it's easier for simple-minded people to label anyone different from them into a ridiculous generalization. In the case of hipster, it's usually folks who think they are "in the know" about everything regarding counter-culture modus vivendi but somehow, at the same time, believe that they don't fall into that synonymous stereotype. It's actually so stupid and contradicting that I don't feel like wasting any more of my time discussing it with you and your stunning and brilliant partner, ETC." Feeling rather annoying, we turned and walked away, both yelling back a simultaneous "Thank you, Wikipedia!!" before finally losing sight of the old stump of knowledge.
On our homeward bound travels, ETC and I discussed what we had learned from our experience that day. "Remember how as children we would refer to our more pretentious peers as "posers" and sometimes the older chaps would do the same to us?" I queried my friend. "Indeed I do, Anthony. Indeed I do." he smirked. "Well, isn't that the same type of simple-minded taunting that was so imprudently sighted on us today? Only reversed in the sense that nowadays it's apparently wrong to care about the art, culture and lifestyle we've always enjoyed, whereas formerly we'd be the ones mocking those who don't get it but thought that they actually did?" I suggested. "Exactly, ol' chum. But, you needn't worry of such silliness. We were but witless lads then. Now, as grown adventurers, we are beyond lowering ourselves to such squalid levels of convention. Besides, we're too busy guzzling hootch and filming excrement to be troubling ourselves with such youthful name-calling." he assured me. "Even with Gingers?" I pried. "Have you forgotten, brother? I AM part Ginger!" he exclaimed. "Oh…yeah", I shamefully replied "I forgot. Sorry." There was a brief moment of awkward laconism. ETC slowly drew out his hand. I thought for a moment that he would maybe slap me. "My hipsta?" he invited. Cautiously, I moved my paw toward his. "MY hipsta!" I proudly exclaimed as our phalanges met in a humiliating, white-boy version of dap. We kept our hands tightly fastened and continued on, merrily skipping together all the way home.
This diagram has nothing to do with hipsters… just penises. In the eyes of many hate-mongers, this would be mistaken as "hipster irony" on my behalf.
That evening, upon my return, I happened upon a message from the Almosttiffany while trifling through my daily correspondence. It offered a back-handed apology for its insulting behavior, which to me seemed "too little, too late". I had nothing good to say to or about the hellish being. I now saw it for what it was: a holier-than-thou half-wit with nothing better to do than attack innocent citizens of the social networking cyberworld that we all inhabit, in some vain attempt to either entertain itself or make itself feel better regarding its own mundane and pointless existence. This fact alone made me feel more confident and complete in my own routine permanence. I spent the remainder of the evening indulging in hard drink and pondering whether or not enough time had passed since Tolkien bit the dust. Would it be "hipster cool" for me to cheaply rip off his creations for the sake of a poorly-written article on a website dedicated to poop, barf and dicks??
Eventually, the Almosttiffany embarked on that vocation to the great and wonderful land of San Diego. From what I gather, it never attained the position of royalty that it so confidently boasted of. Storytellers say it couldn't even handle a mindless sandwich-slinging position at the big-city, corporate hoagie-house and soon grew to regret its decision to migrate west. Eventually, they tell, the sailor reclaimed the precious golden band that he'd placed on the calloused finger of the creature, thus exiling it back to our parochial locale. I have not endured the vexation of sighting the beast since it's return nor do I wish to. I do, however, hope that eventually the creature took something positive or insightful away from our quarrelsome encounter, as ETC and myself did. Ah, who am I kidding? I hope that pious hag gets ringworm.
Hairy Shaddock and the Deathly Holos
Earlier this week, I was approached by a jellyfish. Not just any jellyfish, mind you. This particular jellyfish donned human clothes and, apparently, had developed the ability to speak English in a fashion concurrent with that spoken in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn. Peculiar as it seemed, I found myself incapable of avoiding a conversation with this astonishing sideshow attraction. "Yo, you see that YouTube video of Dre an' Snoop rappin' wit' a hologram o' Pac?" it gurgled at me. I stood there for a moment, deciphering what I believed to be fortuitous babble. "Nah, man…how is it?" I ultimately replied. "Shit's crazy, yo! Look's like dat nigga's really there!" it spit back at me. Briefly, I reasoned whether or not to suggest that it shouldn't go around dropping the "N-bomb" so haphazardly, but came to my senses (being that it was just a jellyfish and I wasn't completely sure if the slave-ship taboo of the word applied to it in any way whatsoever). "Hmpf," I muttered…"guess I'll have to check it out." The jellyfish didn't say anything after that. It just stood there looking at me, as if I were going to break out into some dauntless song and dance routine at any second. I had no intention of performing such a gleeful task (Ha! Get it?). Then, after what seemed like a championship staring contest, it finally turned its glutinous back to me, slowly crept away and let off a dim glow that lit its path the entire way before, at long last, diving into a sewer duct and, I imagine, returning from whence it came. "I like that guys style" I mused to myself.
Later that evening, I found myself online, sifting through the balderdash, claptrap and poppycock contained within my email inbox. I read notifications of local job opportunities, skimmed over the rundowns of injustices worldwide (compliments of Amnesty International) and immediately trashed "Cease and Desist" warnings sent to me by the attorneys of certain celebrities that don't understand my rare form of fan-boy admiration. Despite having all of this electrifying edification laid plainly in front of me, I began to grow bored with the monotony of the process and soon found my mind wandering impulsively towards the jellyfish's advice. Before my mouth could even spout the words "thug life," my finger-bangers had already boarded the YouTube train and I was expressly viewing Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and what appeared to be a holographic image of Makaveli himself, performing "Hail Mary," Shakur's classic introspective on the duality of a young black man's axiom in the face of his supposed "Maker," while also trying to survive within his given environment. Needless to say, I was pretty impressed with, what I believed to be at the time, the flawless use and direction of light and lasers to project one of hip-hop's greatest and most influential artists onto the Coachella stage. The 10-year-old science fiction dork inside of me had a raging 3-inch boner (not a far cry short of what I dangle on the outside as an adult these days).
While watching the dead shimmy across the festival's stage, I began to fantasize about the various ways in which this scientific breakthrough could be used for mischief here at the offices of A New Low. Surely, given the rapid rate of advancement in its territory, the technology would soon be available to us (the general public) within the next year or so as a downloadable app for any of the various Apple iProducts. In no time at all, I schemed, we would be capable of mustering up a sequel to the cosmically-acclaimed Cal vs Dog Poo, starring none other than a holographic doppleganger of our long-absent budding star, Mr. Cal Biddle. Shit, we could even pull Joe Lentini out of the grimy bowels of Holy Matrimony and have his holo-clone give the skatepark another try! Even better, was the idea that we could save countless driving hours and gas expenses by relinquishing the need to go to NYC in order to film with Holden. If only we were able to procure the city's culture, shopping, events and atmosphere here at home…we'd never have to set foot in that Rotten Apple again!! Certainly, I was on to something with these delusions of holo-grandeur.
It was at this point that my thoughts began to take a despondent turn. My inherent fascination with death (spawned by, I firmly believe, the demise of basically my entire immediate family throughout my own infancy on this planet) began to conquer my fairyland figments of special effect-laden, cyberspace dominance. What if I were to go and kick Mr. Bucket square in his jolly fucking face sometime next week? Would my friend since 7th grade, Eric Thomas Craven, use my holographic image for some post-humous editions of Toby n' Deric? And, if so, would I be portrayed in a manner consistent with my own will? For all I know, he could forget to include the brownish-green glimmer of my teeth that, to some patrons of this website, have become my signature characteristic! What if my holo-twin was given a topless scene in a future skit? Would my asymmetrical chest hair patch be accurately reproduced? What about the winding trail of sporadic, cilium strands pouring down my back, leading into the brown, diamond-shaped thicket that grows where my "tramp stamp" should be? Would they be invited to the party? Furthermore, what if my double were to lose his pants in such hypothetical treasures as Son of a Bitch X: Sock Monkey in Space? Would he rock the "full bush" look popularized by frat-house staple, College Dudes or would he get an updated, clean-shaven schwantz for the world to enjoy??
Deliberating these questions, I soon found myself feeling less than enthusiastic regarding the use of laser light shows to accomplish anything except eye surgery and entertaining drugged-out Pink Floyd fans. Not only did it seem a bit creepy, it came across as moderately disrespectful, given that the person wasn't around to approve (or disapprove) of the way they'd be depicted. Everyone, alive or dead, should be entitled to choose what they do or don't affiliate themselves with, even if the audience is aware that it's merely a projected likeness of that person. Am I wrong? Possibly. Or maybe I'm just a big sack of pussy-puss that is mildly spooked by the notion of dead celebrities parading around a venue, holo-lip-synching to their earthly chart-toppers while audiences hand over their hard-earned bankroll to cheer on thin air and listen to songs being played off the same iPod that most of 'em have in their own pocket! And I thought Stones tickets were a ridiculous waste of money!! At least those legendary zombies are really there, in the FLESH!!! Not to mention, who gets all of that filthy lucre being brought in by these famous apparitions? The family of the deceased? Doubtful. I'm willing to bet that 9 times out of 10, their former record label is the fat cat raking in the foolishly spent greenbacks of these unfortunate fans (unless proper legal arrangements were made prior to the stars' demise). If so, that would mean Suge Knight possibly received a generous donation towards his hefty legal debts directly after Tupac's ghostly Coachella performance. I have no proof of this…just a few million pennies for your thoughts.
Before I bring this ripened rant to a close, I would like to point out something that was brought to my attention later in my research on this unsettling form of modern entertainment. These supposed holograms are indeed NOT HOLOGRAMS AT ALL!!! Real holograms utilize light or laser placement and direction to convey a 3-dimensional image that you could put your hand right through. These shams, that are currently on the edge of Trendtown, are merely reels of film projected into a mirror, which are then reflected onto a transparent screen, which the audience can't see, creating an illusion of the celebrity just feet in front of the fools! It's a parlour trick used by magicians and con-men since the 1800′s!
Apparently, the world is still just as gullible. Since I began typing this, I've come across numerous articles suggesting TLC do a reunion tour utilizing a Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes hologram, amongst a bombardment of other equally doltish proposals. I whole-heartedly endorse a boycott against this entire debacle. As much as I would cherish a performance from the likes of such cadavers as Joey Ramone, Layne Staley, GG Allin or Elliot Smith, I cannot logically or morally hand over even a cent of my limited scratch in exchange for any of these fraudulent concoctions. I'd suggest you, the reader, join me in this quest against musical psuedo-immortality. Together, we can put an end to this disgusting charade, wiping it from the face of the Earth, collectively. We can call it…The Holo-caust!
Beverly Hills 902-OH NO!!!!!
In the grand tradition of dependable investigative journalism, such as Eric Thomas Craven's groundbreaking masterpiece, Conspiracy Theory; I am proud to announce yet another truth-exposing, eye opener regarding the secret lives of America's largest household pests…celebrities. What started as mild research for a humorous feature on a morbid deformity, quickly turned in to an entire evening…my face illuminated by the glow of the laptop screen, slowly putting the pieces of a twisted puzzle together. A puzzle so disturbing, I may be risking life and limb unveiling it. But, when I first signed up for A New Low over 10 years ago, I was well aware that no matter what sleaze we subjected the world to, there would always be truth behind it. And sometimes brandishing the truth takes balls. Today…I show the world my balls.
As young children, many of us experience terrifying or traumatic events that can (and often do) haunt and horrify us in our adult lives. Some kids get their favorite action figure taken away for an illogical reason, then spend their grown years throwing money away on Action Man reboots in an attempt to compensate for that one lost toy. Others may get their buttholes fingered by some perverted uncle and develop intimacy issues down the road. For me, there is one horrendous event in my childhood (out of a plethora…it was the 80′s) that stands out and still terrifies me to this day. This one milestone in my pre-pubescence, ladies and gentlemen, is none other than the first time I was presented with the rat-like, offset-eyed face of Ms. Shannen Doherty!!!
Needless to say, I've struggled my entire life since then to view any of her work (exceptions being a couple supporting roles in Heathers and Mallrats). I cringe at the very sight of her and have no idea how she keeps getting gigs. On the TV show, Our House, it perplexed my young brain as to how SHE was supposed to be the "cool" older sister to a budding homosexual Chad Allen and loving granddaughter to a budding diabetic Wilford Brimley. If I were them, I would've kept her in the basement or the backyard and off of the show altogether. Later down the line, she portrayed Brenda Walsh, a recent immigrant from Minnesota who was quickly accepted by the popular kids on Beverly Hills 90210. This confused me even more, given my own struggle with any popularity. And aside from a somewhat large head, I wasn't even deformed! But there she was. Influencing all of my female peers with fashion pointers and "how-to's" regarding virginity loss on prom night (poor Dylan McKay). Subsequently, she joined the cast of Charmed, which I never watched due to the nonsensical idea that a witch wouldn't use her powers to fix her fucking face. I prefer a li'l realism with my fiction. Nowadays, it's gotten even worse. I am repeatedly forced to view advertisements for her new show that chronicles her third wedding. This blows my mind even more! Not only does this abomination keep getting work…it keeps tricking schmoes into marrying it!! Pondering these facts, I knew that something with this "actress" was definitely askew. And it was up to me to figure it out.
Relentlessly, I probed the internet for clues regarding the secrets to this abnormality's success. How was the rest of the world viewing her without the disgust I had felt since adolescence? Why was she repeatedly cast in television shows, with an existing reputation of being "hard to work with," while me and my brilliant, handsome band of cohorts floundered in hyperspace mediocrity? Was she like a Morlock in X-Men? Too hideous to live, on the surface…but with a mutant power of mind control that had enabled her to do just that? There had to be an answer somewhere. Then, like a forty-something, bored housewife viewing this site while flicking her bean, it came to me. Shannen Doherty is, IN FACT, a revamped form of the being more commonly known as…
For those readers unfamiliar with Hedorah, it was an alien creature that came to Earth in 1970 and caused much calamity to the island country of Japan. Named for hedoro, the Japanese word for sludge, vomit, slime or chemical ooze, it was comprised of several tadpole-like organisms that fed off of pollution and eventually grew in size and power before joining together into one large, oozy, shape-shifting powerhouse of destruction. It spewed hearty, acidic globs of shit onto anything that got in its path and was capable of devastating the entire planet into a toxic wasteland. Eventually, with the aid of Godzilla (who had unsuccessfully fought Hedorah numerous times throughout it's development), Japanese scientists were able to defeat it by drying it out with giant electrodes. Alas, if even one particle of Hedorah were to go on hydrated, it would be able to feed off of our pollution and, again, grow in size and stature, assuming perhaps a similar humanoid form. I firmly believe that those scientists indeed left a few stones unturned. It's obvious, to me at least, that Hedorah is not only here still, but is thriving in Hollywood as an actress, threatening executives and potential grooms with ultimatums of roles and matrimony in exchange for the continuation of their lives!
The evidence, you ask?? I offer these morsels for you to nibble upon…
• The uneven setting of the eyes is the first clue that Ms. Doherty isn't quite human. Oddly enough, Hedorah shares this same trait when in humanoid form.
• Hedorah was supposedly defeated in 1971. The same year as Doherty's "birth."
• Hedorah often appears to be comprised of a black, oil-like sludge substance. Doherty can be seen wearing all black with black hair in 90% of the pictures I've viewed of her.
• Hedorah came to Japan, fed on slime and eventually began destroying cities, giving itself a reputation as a monster. Doherty came to Hollywood, built herself up playing shitty parts in 1980′s television programming, eventually landed a dream role based around Beverly Hills (part of a city!!) and continually fought with cast members giving herself a reputation as a bitch and/or monster.
• Hedorah fed off of garbage and shit to grow in size and regenerate if defeated. Doherty has accepted shittily written garbage parts only to have her career and status grow in size. And whenever she seems to have faded into pop-culture oblivion, she regenerates herself with a new piece of shit job.
• Hedorah's primary form of attack was to spew toxic slime at its enemies. Doherty's acting is a prime example of toxin-spewing if I've ever seen one!!
In conclusion, I would like to inform you, the reader, that this is not an attempt to alarm the country by exposing the sheer FACT that we have a monster living among us that has propelled itself to celebrity status. I wrote this to educate the public about the monster and create awareness in case it were to ever start destroying cities again. Given its current size, it could probably be defeated by the common household hair-dryer. The best thing for us to do now, as a society, would be to keep an eye on it and prevent it from growing again…much like an unwanted patch of weeds in the backyard or unsightly body hair. If it does begin to increase in size though, I hope somebody has the number to the Fairy Twins of Infant Island. They can text Mothra and she knows how to get ahold of Godzilla. Unfortunately, he's become a bit of a recluse over the years since that embarrassing Matthew Broderick involvement back in '98.
Oh, and if I mysteriously die in a pool of toxic tar after this article goes public…tell Tiffany Amber Theissen she was always my favorite Beverly Hills bitch.
Yurii Richards: Quotes Of A Self-Proclaimed Intellectual
Last August, my seven-year stint as a drone ant for a local Italian eatery was brought to a meatball-tingling halt by the hand of a third-rate, no-talent, wannabe Gordon Ramsey that had worked there for only a few months. All because he couldn't deal with the fact that I saw him for what he was (worthless) and therefore couldn't honestly respect him for anything whatsoever. His name is Yurii Richards and in his own mind his genius goes unmatched in this universe. In reality, he is just another middle-aged goof that drips sweat into every dish he prepares while suffering from a debilitating case of bad taste in music (The English Beat is the best band ever? …Seriously?).
Despite my abhorrence for him, I can't help but appreciate some of the random anecdotes that I heard spew from his blubbery mouth in the short time that I worked under him. That's why I've decided to start a recurring ode to his brilliant aptitude. It's called Yurii Richards: Quotes Of A Self-Proclaimed Intellectual and will be posted regularly on A New Low until I run out of these gems of modern imbecility. They are all real quotes expelled from his gullet to my ears. I hope that everyone else finds delight in them as much as I do. It's the least I could do to thank him for the six-month paid vacation that he gave me (sponsored by the wonderful state of New York and their impeccable Labor Department). And if you're reading this, Yurii, congratulations on the demotion and the divorce!!
"I coulda got married once, before I met my wife… back in Montana. She was rich too. I woulda been set for life. Then I found out she was fuckin' someone else. She threw me out and gave me Herpes, that bitch."
-Yurii Richards, at random (while apparently feeling exceptionally honest about his past) in the middle of a work day.

It has taken 62 days (and counting) for the summer's biggest prize to find its destination. And while for three-fourths of that time we've had a good idea who would be the winner of the Ilya Kovalchuk sweepstakes (New Jersey... heck, he was even introduced as a Devil in mid-July), there have been many twists and turns in the process. Let's take a look back at the whole ordeal up to this point (beginning on Canada Day) shall we?
July 1: Most of the big names are signed right away as Kovalchuk disappoints fans for not finding a new team during the frenzy. It was only a matter of time before he was going to be an L.A. King. Who knew back then we'd have to wait this long?
July 2: TSN's Darren Dreger puts out the following tweet:
Would Kovalchuk consider the Islanders? Why not? Rumblings the Isles may make a mega millions, mega year pitch. They need the contract.
Yes, the same Darren Dreger that is nearly 100% correct on his news- and deal-breaking. So, as everyone was bored on a holiday weekend, writers and bloggers took this rumor and ran with it (including yours truly). All of a sudden, the New York Islanders were the hot destination to land Kovalchuk.
July 5: Mark Everson of the New York Post puts out a story that a deal with the Devils is likely to get done for seven years, $60 million. The Post then backed off its statement, saying the Devils were favorites but nothing was imminent. Who really trusts the Post, anyway?
On the same day, Kovalchuk's agent Jay Grossman tweeted that 'Kovalchuk was looking to make a decision today', which had people assuming a deal was forthcoming.
July 15: The KingsCast crew is stunned that their team hasn't signed the coveted Russian yet…
July 19: The New Jersey Devils announce 'HE'S BACK' on Twitter, giving hockey fans around the world relief that the 'Kovalchuk Saga' has ended!
It was revealed soon-after by Yahoo!'s Dmitry Chesnokov that it is a 17-year, $102 million mega-deal. Then the contract details were leaked, and that it was a heavily front-loaded… causing another firestorm throughout the blogosphere. How did the Devils get away with this contract? Why is the NHL allowing this when it's clearly circumventing the cap?
July 20: Kovalchuk and the Devils hold a press conference in Newark, officially announcing the deal.
Later that night, the NHL rejected the Kovalchuk deal, as it deemed as cap circumvention and a 'retirement contract'. Much speculation believed Lamoriello's press conference comments affected the league's decision to put the hammer down.
July 26: The NHLPA officially files a grievance on behalf of Kovalchuk.
July 30: Arbitrator Richard Bloch has been selected for the grievance hearing, which is set to begin on August 4.
August 9: Bloch let his decision be known that he has ruled in favor of the NHL, ultimately nixing the Kovalchuk contract with New Jersey.
August 23: Reports surface that the Devils and NHL meet. It wasn't exactly a contract that was submitted, but more of the framework of the deal.
August 25: More reports come out the NHL had rejected a second proposal presented by the Devils. Again, it wasn't a contract… just a proposed structure.
August 26: A day later, Chesnokov reports that the KHL could now be a serious option for Kovalchuk if a deal with New Jersey can't get done. A lot of this talk was sparked by Kovalchuk being in Russia at the time.
August 27: The Devils officially submit a second contract to the NHL for approval. It was initially thought that a decision would be made quickly… then ESPN's E.J. Hradek reminds us that the league has five days to review the contract.
Dreger later tweets that it's reportedly a 15-year, $100 million deal.
August 31: Dreger reports that an NHL GM does not believe this contract will be accepted, either.
Think about it... it will be September before we find out where Kovalchuk will be playing this season (unless, obviously, something changes tonight)! The league has up until 5 PM ET tomorrow evening to decide whether to accept the new contract proposal from Lamoriello and company or not. If they opt to block it again, it's anyone's guess what will happen next.

Proposals for housing-led mixed development on the site of former industrial premises in Dunstable town centre were rejected by the local planning authority on the grounds of its preferred use for industrial purposes and employment.
An environmental noise assessment of the Development Brief prepared by the District Council for its preferred use of the site was subsequently commissioned by the site owner and indicated that the site was not ideally located for general industrial, storage and industrial use. Written evidence was prepared and submitted to the public inquiry following appeal of the local planning authority's decision and the public inspector subsequently reported in favor of the appellants case for residential development of the site.

Club Chair provides comfort out in the wild
Many recreational vehicle owners are under the assumption that they can't bring the comfort of home with them while on the road. However, the Maccabee Sports Club Chair is redefining what it means to be comfortable while traveling in a motorhome.
The Club Chair is 33 inches wide when unfolded and capable of holding up to 225 pounds, suited to accommodate recreational vehicle travelers of all sizes. Although it is large, its steel legs and frame easily collapse when it's time to store the chair away. The product can be tucked aside in even the most compact motorhomes.
"Our friends each tried it, one at a time and found it very relaxing, as did my husband," said one Camping World customer. "So now, I need to order six more. One for the husband, three for friends and two for my dalmatians. This chair is so comfortable, everyone should have one. I have those gravity chairs and really can't even stand them compare to this one!"
The Club Chair is covered in a polyester fabric that is resistant to water, meaning it is safe while out in the elements. Footpads keep the product stable on even the roughest terrain, making for a relaxing experience in the outdoors.

Festivals are round the corner at this time of the year. Raksha Bandhan, Dussehra, Diwali, Halloween, Thanks giving and Christmas etc. Festivals represent cultural background of people, celebrating them. Though festivals enable people to celebrate their happiness, joy fullness, worship of Gods, nature, etc., among families, friends, relatives, religious group etc., they are symbol of cultural heritage and unity among the people of different castes, creed, religion etc. The celebration of festivals by people helps to promote and stimulate unity, co-operation and preservation of an old traditions, culture, etc. They are indeed very much helpful for strengthening relations among mankind. These promote close relationship and Harmony among people. Otherwise people will forget meeting their friends and relatives frequently and help to remember our culture, because of their pre-occupation and mechanical way of life. Read more

I do hope that I am correct in assuming that is a part of The Aberration, I have wanted to get my hands on that monstrosity since I spied it in the rulebook. It looks deadly on the table and in terms of ascetics is a blend of Rashaar and the doctors (my two favorite factions). Regardless, that is going to be some great detail to paint!
I've also seen the pic of what I am willing to bet is a dog keeper and even though i don't play guild, the figure looks great as well.
Can't wait for the release!
Beasts of War have previewed the mini:
And yeah, it looks amazing. My favourite Carnevale sculpt so far.
The painting is also very high quality, which IMO showcases the model better than the sometimes not-so-superb starter paint jobs (no offence to the guy who painted those, mind, it's just that we are used to utterly insane standards in mini promo shots and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the minis once I held them in my hand).
You know, I can't somehow look at this image
without thinking of this image
Still, wonderful mini that I'll most likely get.
Hi Siveri,
I must admit that when I saw your post, I fell on my back laughing out loud! :)

G-d bless.
I feel somewhat ashamed - I´ve read dozens of books and articles on the European Theater of WWII, but had never heard of this massacre.That shall be remedied very soon - the book is "Fatal Crossroads" by Danny Parker.
The Nazis were pulling out all the stops in the last few months of the war. In addition to the Malmedy Massacre, this is also when certain German SS troops, who had some education in the US, were dressed up primarily as Army MPs running around shooting infantrymen who let their guards down thinking they were friendlies. Their command of American English and knowledge of US history and current events made them hard to spot.Girl´s Hubby
Never forget.
#2-I asked my Father-in-law who was in The European Theater of Operations at the time of the Malmedy massacre and he said he never heard of it. This was 50+ years after the fact and many unit reunions later.
The lesson was, Mr. Paluch said, "Don´t trust the other guy."
The SS were brutal pigs, recruited into Himmler´s army from the lowest dregs of German society. To be captured by them was an almost certain death. Mr Paluch is extremely lucky to be alive.
Back in 1984, our Regimental staff and our Bundeswehr partnership Brigade staff conducted a staff ride of the "Bulge". Our German partners brought a retired Wehrmacht officer to describe the actual events from his perspective. We were fortunate to have Abrams the Younger in our group and he was able to relay what his father had shown him when he was a young man. Amazing historical perspective. I´m somewhat taken aback that many have forgotten this period of our history and how close we came to losing it. As an aside, I also met LTG(R) Harry Kimnard in 1983 in Garmisch and listened to his first hand description of being the 101ABN G3 in Bastogne.
Malmedy massacre is a very well known mass killing of our troops. I read about it as a kid in the 1960´s. Many WW2 books started coming out or re-issued about what happened during the war.BTW in Steven Spielberg´s movie with Tom Hanks (Saving Private Ryan) he shows American soldiers callously killing German prisoners during the Normandy landing. That was only a movie.Not real like what the Germans did. Liberals always try to compare us to brutal killers like the Germans and Japanese in WW2. Moral equivalence.It is the liberals who lack morals.
My older brother was in the Battle of the Bulge. The only times he would talk about it was when we were out drinking too much. He never really got over the horrors of it.
Different time, different war, different men, and different prez.G-d bless you.
My uncle, who jumped out of a crashing B-7, was shot and killed by Panzer SS as a surrendering prisoner. He was shaking a white handkerchief in his hand. The plane had been drooping supplies to partisans, waiting in the Forrest.My family only discovered he had successfully exited the burning plane in 1989 at a memorial ceremony when we met one of the 2 airman who though shot had survived and was taken prisoner.My father later met a woman who had come from the woods after the Germans left, and closed his eyes. She describe them as bright blue, which they were.I have my uncle´s last letter he mailed from England before he was killed, as well as my father´s V-Mail letter to his brother which as returned, marked ´missing in action´.

My boyfriend and I have had unprotected sex and my last period was 2 months ago (in 10 more days). I've had a two week delay on my period before, and I'm pretty volatile and feeling cramps every now and then but still....no blood. I'm scared to death I may be pregnant but I absolutely CAN NOT tell my mom. I'd be disowned, without a doubt. So....please help me!! I'm getting desperate enough as to seriously consider an abortion because my body can barely support myself, never mind a baby. I heard Vitamin C helps induce a self-inflicted abortion, too. I'm saving up for a test at Planned Parenthood, but I'm still nervous and scared as all heck. Words of advice??
Yeah, we meant to say that. Boy do we wish we didn't.
Here's the spiel: it's Back Up Your Birth Control Day today, but as you may have heard, or personally experienced, here in the states, we're still having a lot of trouble with pharmacists refusing over-the-counter Plan B (emergency contraception, the morning-after-pill, or whatever you like to call it), for a whole of reasons, including because of age, even though most of those asking for or about it are of legal age to get it over-the-counter, and without a prescription. We knew that was happening already, but that recent covert study linked there brought it more to light and gave this some more (very needed) attention.
We understand that dealing with being refused something when you're likely already feeling panicked, and also asking for something pretty private without much, if any privacy, can make dealing with refusals even more hard and maddening than they already are.
We also know that in th

The latest is from Arizona: now, if an employee uses the company's health insurance to purchase contraceptive pills, they must prove to their employer that they are using them for "non sex" purposes. If they don't, they could be fired.
How is this supposed to go?
"Oh, yeah here is my ultrasound from my ovarian cyst. See it over there? Yeah, its a big one."
"Here is a testimony from my ex-boyfriend about just how terrible my PMS is that it lead to our eventual, inevitable catastrophic breakup. Then he became gay."*
How are you supposed to prove that you have ovarian cysts popping a mile a minute and a slough of gay ex's to prove how terrible your PMS is while simultaneously proving that there is no way in hell you are using it for "sex purposes?"
How are we supposed to prove that birth control–whose very name not so implicitly implies controlling a birth–is not our bang without a baby free card?
We can't even refer to it by its official name, contraception: it
Read more...It was probably obvious yesterday that we earnestly thought the FDA might finally turn around a longtime decision, one largely against all advice, information and recommendations from sexual, reproductive and adolescent health and rights experts and advocates, when it came to unfounded restrictions long put on teen access to Plan B.
And that was going to actually happen. The FDA was on board this time around and made the decision to ditch those restrictions. People under 17 were finally going to have the same kind of access to a safe, important kind of contraception those over 17 had, a kind of access there is simply no sound reason to restrict.
And yet.
In what Jodi Jacobson of RH Reality Check so rightfully said can, "only be called an astounding move by an Administration that pledged on inauguration day that medical and health decisions would be based on fact not ideology and for which women are a major constituency, today Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of the Department of Healt
Read more...You may have heard that the FDA may finally remove age restrictions for the morning-after emergency contraception pill in the United States. If you've heard that, you may have started to hear some panic or fear-factoring, not just gratitude and relief.
Currently, in the United States, someone must be over the age of 17 in order to get Plan B at a pharmacy without a prescription. Until two years ago, the age limit was 18. It's still kept behind the pharmacy counter for people of all ages, but those over 17 do not need a prescription from a doctor or a clinic to purchase it.
For a long time now, organizations like ours and many, many other reproductive choice, justice and health organizations, have been lobbying to remove that age restriction, something other nations -- like Canada, Australia, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Israel and others -- do not apply; a restriction which has never been supported by sound health data. The restriction per age has long been about politics, not health.
Read more...My boyfriend and I have been going out for more a than a year now and we have grown extremely close. We use to have sex regularly and then he just kind of halted it. I want to have sex but he does not want to because of the potential of pregnancy. I suggest using condoms but he still refuses. Is there any way I can convince him to have sex again or will it seem like I am desperate? Please help!
My boyfriend and I had anal sex and then after went on to normal intercourse, can this cause infections?
I'm 18, and I've been sexually active for about three years. I met my current boyfriend in August of 2010 and we've been inseparable since. He just celebrated his 21st birthday. My problem is, my mom seems to think I'm her angelic, virginal teenager. (I'm one of five kids) She doesn't know I'm dating or that I'm not a virgin. Before I go away to college, I'd like to come clean to her. I'm just not sure how to do that without shattering her image of me completely, though it seems inevitable. So, how do I begin to tell her?
Nearly two years ago, I started thinking about getting an IUD instead of continuing to take the birth control pills that had served me well for more than half a decade. I had always liked the idea of being free of synthetic hormones while still being confident that I wouldn't get pregnant. The thought of getting an IUD floated around in the back of my mind, but I was satisfied enough with my pill that I wasn't jumping at the chance to change my routine.
A few months ago, though, something changed. I went from working part time to working a full time, well-paying job at a family friendly workplace with quality benefits. My relationship with my partner got more stable, and we moved together into a nice neighborhood. He started saying that if I got pregnant, he could be ready to be a parent, and I started feeling like I could, too. For my entire life, I had been convinced that I was so unready to parent that I would have an abortion should I become pregnant. Now at 23, I know I'm still n

There is nothing like a seven-hour transcontinental flight (with the exception of an international one) to help you focus on matters of great significance and importance. It is the perfect isolation chamber, if the in-flight movie is unappealing and your seat mate is not too chatty. It is prime time to ponder Nobel-worthy research, to prepare an acceptance speech for the RSNA Gold Medal, or, if your goals are slightly less lofty, to catch up on your backlog of journals without fear that your 3-year-old will spill his or her apple juice on the critical pages. This aeronautical think-tank is where I am at my most productive. Once airborne, the lack of distractions allows me to solidify my thoughts, in this instance, regarding a problem I have encountered in my practice of radiology: the use and abuse of colloquialisms in medical terminology.
We, as radiologists, are primarily consultants, and every report we generate is a written consultation. As we do this 50, 100, even 150 times a day, we need to have our communication skills down-to mean what we say and say what we mean. I am sure everyone can come up with a list of their favorite malapropisms or misused terms. Since I have the "bully pulpit" right now, I will share mine.
1. Lung "fields": I cringe anytime one of our residents uses this phrase, which is not only meaningless, but also expensive. My departmental administrators state that each word in a report has a definite associated cost of transcription, printing, and physician approval or corrections. I do not know what a lung "field" is; cows stand in a "field"; Kevin Costner built a "field" of dreams, but neither pulmonary texts nor medical dictionaries define a lung "field" and, therefore, there is no way to classify it, either medically or financially. Perhaps my distaste for this term has to do with one of my mentors in residency, an internationally renowned chest radiologist, who strictly forbade its presence in her reports. One may use the term "lung zone" or merely "lung", but let us please bury the "field".
2. "Nonspecific bowel gas pattern": What does this phrase mean exactly? No one I have ever asked has provided a satisfactory or consistent answer. If an image or radiograph is non-specific, it has not enabled us to come any closer to a diagnosis. This term is even more offensive than "fields", not to mention verbose and superfluous. I refer the interested reader to an elegant essay by Dean Maglinte in a previous issue of Applied Radiology (October 1997) as grounds for this phrase never seeing the light of day (or night) again.
3. "Epicenter": This comes from the geologic nomenclature for earthquakes, referring to the part of the earth's surface directly above the seismic focus. In some radiologists' misguided thinking, the term has been adapted to refer to the origin or center of a lesion, for example, "the epicenter of the lesion is in the adrenal gland."
There are many more of my terminological pet peeves, but thankfully no major culprits come to mind at present. Let us do what we can to rid the world of such radiological jargon. Our referring clinicians, who may not be cognizant of the meaning of such "buzz words," will understand and appreciate us all the more. Now if you really want to get me started, just ask me about the vicissitudes of flying these days....

Stevie Wonder Target of Extortion Plot
Truth rating: 10
May 11th, 2012
Stevie Wonder was the target of a failed extortion plot.
Alpha Lorenzo Walker, who says he's the singer's nephew, and his girlfriend Tamara Eileen Diaz, have been charged with allegedly trying to shake down Wonder.
The pair sought $5 million in hush money after threatening to go to the tabloids with a story about how Walker was the child of an incestuous encounter between Wonder and the musician's sister.
