Wow.. we get up by 9 and what do you know.. Hardaway and the rest of the team starts settling for pathetic jumpers..
Why the fuck is horford even attempting a jump shot.. he can't even make a layup to go along with morgan
Wow.. we get up by 9 and what do you know.. Hardaway and the rest of the team starts settling for pathetic jumpers..
Why the fuck is horford even attempting a jump shot.. he can't even make a layup to go along with morgan
Pissed me off. He easily could've driven to the basket and at least got fouled. Be tough for ince
Glen Robinson the magnificent. No ones disappears better than him..
Not able to watch it, but from the stats it looks like we're just not shooting the ball well. Zero turnovers and only four fouls is huge for us. If our shooting starts to move back to normal, we should pull ahead handily.
5-17,that likely will improve in 2nd half....with Trey having the ball so much I wonder if THJ is forcing shots because he doesn't get as many touches as he'd like.
That's a possibility, which if true would be odd because early in the season that was his strength was letting the offense flow and picking his spots. Not forcing shots. I still think he's best at generating points when he drives to the paint. However, in that case, he's also better at generating turnovers.
I almost want this team to lose. Despite already losing to this team and just blowing a game against Indiana, they come out cocky as ever and are struggling against Penn State. Someone needs to put the egos of this entire team in check, or else they're in for an early exit in the tourney.
the problem,we are very poor defensive team (check opp.fg%) and poor reb team (that's be ok today),when those 2 areas are poor teams will inevitably be inconsistant.
I think it's both.
What is our record when we wear white?
Seems like we had our big run when we had Mitch n Morgan in at same time
why GR3 does not take it to the rim more often. He settles for jump shots when he can dribble and be agressive. He obviously has great elevation. If I had his hops, I would attack the rim ever chance I got.
Maybe he CAN'T dribble and be effective. Maybe he gets his butt kicker in practice doing that.
hope that is not the case. He actually took it to the rim off the dribble nicely in one of the last couple games. Can't remember which game it was, but I kept thinking why not do that more often.
On our ass?
Knock Penn State on their faces with flying drop kicks.
We should go 2 bigs. McGary for what he obviously is already doing (double-double in the first half) and Morgan for D around the rim.
2 bigs = much better rebounding...I suspect coach B. doesn't like playing 2 bigs because he is an offensive minded coach meaning with 2 bigs 1 of em has to play on a wing on offense
I think we will know whether we are going to win or lose this game by the first TV timeout. There will be no doubt about it. This team is capable of playing defense better than they are. There is no question about that. They have until right now to start doing it or humiliation will be theirs.
Why the fuck will Beilein NOT play a zone no matter what? is it ego? I am baffled why the guy credited with making the 1-3-1 a viable and tough D has decided that no matter how shitty his defense is playing he SIMPLY WILL NOT USE IT AGAIN.
So a team that has a bunch of freshman who have a hard time keeping track of players and making the correct rotations in time would do BETTER in a zone?
WE sure could have gone zone to slow down Zeller vs IU
Show some bloody heart and win this one!
So, as I am reading this I'm just shocked and baffled yet that we are playing poor defense. So out of character of us.
No doubt that was a charge right??
Yes a missed free throw and no offensive rebound!
All my earlier comments about GR3 have been erased. Great play to start the 2nd
Am at work...need update on play. Is Penn State playing that well or are we playing ehhhh?
we're playing "ugh" "ehhh" "mitch beasting" "ehh" half time "ehh"
Wife, son, and neighbors thank me later for having a job
Jesus S Christ why are fucking layups so fucking hard?????
Just not his day
Hes done this consistently his entire career...
but Jordan Morgan missed a layup
Great feed by Trey and he misses yet another lay up
Morgam can be pretty pathetic offensively...
If he can just learn how to finish
...he'd be mediocre.
Fucking bullshit glass
I feel like I know what the parents of the Cowboys team in Little Giants mustve have felt watching their team play the big game.
Why not go at Borovnjak and try top pick up his 3rd?
More than just a shooter comment
Banks in the 3 I think I might puke.
Well this game wouldn't be complete without backboards
such lucky bs
Penn State ties it with a 3 off the backboard.
This is frustrating.

It may not be the very start of the month, but today is the start of a new bloghop! I thought for a bit that I wasn't going to be able to participate in this month's theme, but inspiration (and a little extra time) struck and I had my first dish made before I knew it! Of course, I had almost every ingredient on hand.. except for normal pasta noodles. But, I did find a bag of macaroni salad noodles in a deep, dark corner of my pantry; hey, it ended up working out great! It just looks a lil' funny.
There is just one problem with this amazing macaroni and cheeze dish, it is HIGHLY addictive; so much so, that I ended up tagging it as #vegannicotine on my instagram. My friend Amanda and I were having a hard time keeping ourselves from grabbing thirds, but the fact that our tummies were full stopped us ahead of time. This dish has all of the comfort of traditional mac & cheese, but with the flare of Mexican ingredients and spices.
- 6-8 Cups of Water
- 2 Cups Dried Noodles
- 2 Cups Vegan Cheese (mine was a 1:1 mix of Cheddar Teese and Galaxy Food's Vegan Mexican Shreds)
- 2 Tbsp. Nutritional Yeast
- ½-3/4 Cup Non-Dairy Milk (depending on how creamy/thick you want it)
- ¾ Cup Cooked Black Beans
- ½ Cup Tomato, Chopped
- ½ Cup Bell Pepper (preferably Red, Orange or Yellow), Chopped
- ¼ Cup Green Onion, Diced
- 1 Tbsp. Fresh Jalapeño, Diced
- 1 Tbsp. Fresh Cilantro, Minced
- 1½ tsp. Onion Powder
- 1 tsp. Garlic Powder
- ¼ tsp. Cayenne Pepper
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- In a medium/large pot, boil the water over medium heat. Once it is boiling, add in the noodles and boil for 8-12 minutes (depending on the noodle or directions).
- While the noodles are boiling, in a small pan on medium heat, start sauteing the black beans, tomato, bell pepper, green onions, jalapeño, and cilantro together until the bell peppers start to soften (approx. 5-7 minutes).
- When the noodles are fully cooked, drain all of the water out of the pot, but leave the noodles inside. Stir the cheeze into the hot noodles over low-medium heat, until melted.
- Add the nutritional yeast to the noodle mixture, stir together, then add in the desired amount of non-dairy milk to your preferred consistency.
- Stir the vegetable mixture into the noodles, add the cayenne, onion powder and garlic powder as well.
- Taste the dish and season accordingly with salt and pepper. Serve warm!

5 Jaw Dropping Insider Secrets Revealed about the Nopal Cactus (Prickly Pear) Juice Industry.
Nopal Cactus (Prickly Pear) juice (1*), made its debut in 2000 and generated quite a buzz, sending shock waves across the globe – from the realm of homeopathic medicine to the dietary supplement industry. A number of companies were quick to pounce on the opportunity and before you knew it, various nopal cactus (prickly pear) juice products sprouted like mushrooms.
Over the next few minutes, we are going to expose the nopal cactus (prickly pear) juice industry's insider secrets, so you can be a smart nopal cactus (prickly pear) purchasing consumer.
Secret 1: Nopal Cactus (Prickly Pear) Juice - Proprietary Secret Formula Exposed (2*)(3*)
Proprietary blends are not inherently a negative for the consumer, though they are inherently confusing for the buyer.
A supplement that lists a "proprietary blend" on the bottle can be there for one of two reasons:
(a) to prevent the competition from knowing exactly what ratios and amounts of nopal is present in the formula which prevents the competition from copying their formula (referred to as a 'knock off') or
(b) to hide the fact the formula contains very little nopal in an attempt to fool consumers.
Often times the proprietary blend will contain an impressive list of ingredients and unless those ingredients are in proper and abundant portions the juice will have little effect on the overall health and wellness of someone who is consuming it. Industry insiders refer to this tactic as "label decoration".
So how can you tell the difference?
You can't without research and knowledge, which some juice company's know you don't have the time, or the investment to dedicate yourself to finding the true answers to what is inside their bottle of nopal cactus (prickly pear) juice. So in short, we have a conundrum as there are those juice company's making a quality product attempting to protect their formula from other companies trying to copy it vs. those company's that simply attempt to baffle buyer's in hopes they can fool you into purchasing their products that would otherwise provide you little health benefits.
So let me ask you this question?
Is a company that is not completely transparent when it comes to disclosing how much nopal cactus (prickly pear) is in their juice, a company that you want to do business with?
If you do come across a more transparent company that fully discloses the amount of nopal cactus (prickly pear) in their bottle of nopal cactus (prickly pear) juice, look to see if there are any "extracts" or "concentrates" as we will explain in our next section.
Insider Secret 2: Nopal Cactus (Prickly Pear) Juice - Extracts and Concentrates (4*) (5*) (6*)
Extract: A substance made by extracting a part of a raw material, often by using a solvent such as ethanol or water. (7*)
Concentrates: A concentrate is a form of substance which has had the majority of its base component removed. (8*)
If you currently have a bottle of nopal cactus (prickly pear) juice, read the label and see if you come across the words "Extracts" or "Concentrates"? If you have such a nopal cactus (prickly pear) juice bottle, then I applaud the company for being candid enough to disclose to you that you are not consuming whole nopal cactus cacti (prickly pear fruit) but rather a mixture using a solvent such as ethanol or water. In order to harness all the healthful benefits that nopal cactus (prickly pear) has to offer, you need more than just a nopal cactus (prickly pear) concentrate or extract. You need the whole nopal cactus (prickly pear) fruit processed in such a way that you don't lose the precious amino acids, betalains, fiber, minerals, pectin, phytonutrients and vitamins which is the reason you are consuming the nopal cactus (prickly pear) in the first place.
Further, if you are purchasing nopal cactus (prickly pear) juice for the benefits of the nopal cactus (prickly pear), why add all the other fruit juices and purified water to the bottle of nopal cactus (prickly pear) juice?
The reason is to add bulk to their product making it look like you are receiving more nopal cactus (prickly pear) when you are really receiving less. Remember when I spoke about the nopal cactus (prickly pear) "Proprietary Blend" being kept a secret.
Now would be a good time to expose the secret and the secret is: If you knew that you are not purchasing whole nopal cactus (prickly pear) but an concentrated extract which has been diluted with added purified water, solvents, other fruit concentrates and extracts, would you have paid the price?
Did You Know: Many nopal juice company's do not even use whole food nopal cactus (prickly pear) but rather, "Opuntia concentrate", look on the product label to see if you can see the words Opuntia concentrate? (9*) If you do, then you are not purchasing whole nopal cactus (prickly pear) and may be loosing out in many of its health benefits such as its rich fiber content.
According to WebMD; men need about 38 grams of fiber while women need 35 grams of fiber per day. (10*) Fiber is known to promote excellent heart health, weight management and energy. (11*)
The best way to consume fiber is by consuming the whole nopal cactus (prickly pear) fruit which many liquid nopal cactus (prickly pear) juice drinks are without. .
It just amazes me how many people fall for those Network Marketing (MLM) rags to riches stories and allow themselves to get pumped full of hopes and dreams that with almost no effort on their part, they can retire the champagne and caviar lifestyle they only dreamed about.
Unfortunately, for 99% of all network marketers they will be left with shattered dreams and empty pockets of cold hard reality that they just made someone else rich and not themselves. (12*) (13*)
For those unaware of Multi-Level Marketing (MLM). I will quickly tell you what this industry is all about. (14*)
Network marketing is a marketing strategy in which the company's sales force is compensated not only for sales they personally generate, but also for the sales of the other salespeople that they recruit. This recruited sales force is referred to as the participant's downline, and can provide multiple levels of compensation.
MLM companies have been a frequent subject of criticism as well as the target of lawsuits. Criticism has focused on their similarity to illegal pyramid schemes, price fixing of products, high initial start-up costs; emphasis on recruitment of lower-tiered salespeople over actual sales, encouraging if not requiring salespeople to purchase and use the company's products (even if the salesperson does not need any additional products, leading to garages full of company products not being consumed); potential exploitation of personal relationships; complex and sometimes exaggerated compensation claims, and exaggerated prices that company's charge for their products.
How exaggerated are the prices for a bottle of the nopal cactus (prickly pear) juice which is being marketed through the Network Marketing (MLM) industry? Typically a 32oz bottle of nopal cactus (prickly pear) juice sells for $39.95/bottle. The recommended dosage is from one to three ounces of juice a day, so it is not surprising to see that most consumers pay over $100/month for their nopal cactus (prickly pear) juice supply. (15*)(16*)
Now compare that to the average 32oz bottle of premium juice sold at the supermarket which can range from $5-$10/bottle. Do you want to know why the supermarket juice is only $5 - $10/bottle compared to $39.95/bottle sold by the Network Marketing-(MLM)-Pyramid Company's? The answer is that Network Marketing-(MLM)-Pyramid Company's are forced to charge this amount to offset the average 60% commission rates they pay out to all of their distributors (downline).
Think about it, the first 60% of your money or $24 of the $39.95 goes to pay 10 or 20 levels of distributors who each collect a piece of your payment. This makes the true value of the juice at $15.95 which itself is still pretty pricey.
Now would you like to know the true cost to manufacture a 32oz bottle of nopal cactus (prickly pear) juice?
Depending on the manufacturing processes, how much actual whole nopal cactus (prickly pear) is being used and I do not mean extracts or concentrates, but real whole nopal cactus (prickly pear) to manufacture a 32oz nopal cactus (prickly pear) juice bottle; the cost is $3.75/bottle.
(The price above is based on Natural Home Cures' cost to produce one bottle of nopal cactus prickly pear juice.)
If you are someone that has no interest in Network Marketing (MLM) and you are simply looking for the best quality nopal cactus (prickly pear) product without the expenses, hassles, or knowing that you are dealing with a network marketing company, then I have great news for you.
The right nopal cactus (prickly pear) product to buy is not nopal cactus (prickly pear) juice but rather Freeze Dried, High Altitude, Nopal Cactus (Prickly Pear) sold in solid capsule form which on average, is 1/4 the cost of the nopal cactus (prickly pear) juice.
(Based on one bottle representing the equivalent of 4 nopal cactus (prickly pear) juice bottles at the price of $39.95.)
Freeze Dried, High Altitude, Nopal Cactus (Prickly Pear) is grown at an altitude of 2,500 meters (or 8,200 feet above sea level) on a mountainside with rich volcanic soil and a mild, semi-tropical climate. (17*)
The higher the altitude the greater the phyto-nutrient and polyphenol content of the nopal cactus (prickly pear) product. This was demonstrated in a recent analysis of the Nopal species Opuntia ficus-indica and its reaction to elevated UV radiation exposure at the University of Arizona's Arid Land Studies Department. (18*) The findings were as follows: in nature, plants produce polyphenols to protect themselves from oxidation caused by ultraviolet radiation from the sun. The nopal cactus (prickly pear) that are found at higher altitudes in the mountains are naturally exposed to significantly higher levels of ultraviolet radiation stimulating those nopal cactus (prickly pear) to produce higher concentrations of polyphenols. This high altitude environment is also a natural pest deterrent. Insects are less abundant at higher elevations allowing for a premium crop.
Compare that to the desert nopal cactus (prickly pear) which many liquid beverage companies, especially those marketing their products through MLM or Network Marketing Schemes use. Desert nopal cactus (prickly pear) receives very little moisture and nutrients from the arid environment and the low organic content of desert soil. (19*) (20*) (21*)
Nopal Powder Capsules by Natural Home Cures also only uses nopal cactus pads that are at least 30 cm in length, 1kg in weight and contain no fewer than 6 prickly pear fruit. The larger the pad the higher the nutrient and mineral content of the finished product. (22*)
Compare that to most companies that call the larger size pads their "premium brand" and charge their clients even more money. The secret behind the "premium brands" of the competitors is that they don't own their own farms and must purchase their pads from other companies who in turn charge a premium that gets passed on to you, their consumer.
In the end, you pay more money for something that we offer at no additional cost to all of our clients. In fact, this is the only nopal cactus (prickly pear) we offer as anything less would require us to lower our standards and this is not something we are willing to do. That is why you will always receive the finest in consistent quality. We guarantee that every capsule of our Freeze Dried Nopal Powder (Prickly Pear) is the highest quality possible. (23*)
Two questions, I would like to answer that we often receive are:
What Is The Process Of Freeze Drying Nopal Cactus (Prickly Pear)?
The simple and digested answer is that we take the entire nopal cactus (prickly pear) fruit and we dehydrate it by removing the water through a process of using freezing cold and not hot heat. We use freezing cold as it does not destroy any of the medicinal or therapeutic properties of the nopal cactus (prickly pear).
Think of it like this: If you have ever purchased a food dehydrator and dehydrated say a banana, the heat removes the water from the food and in the end you still have the banana just without the water known as banana chips and that is exactly what our nopal cactus (prickly pear) is. We removed the water using cold/freezing temperature that retains all the therapeutic and medicinal properties of the nopal cactus (prickly pear). (24*), (25*)
Eating the whole fruit will always provide you better medicinal or therapeutic health properties than eating a diluted extract or concentrate. It just makes sense that if you want nopal cactus (prickly pear) that this is exactly what you should be paying for and that is exactly what you receive with our Freeze Dried Nopal Powder Capsules.
Another question we receive is:
"How Much Does Your Freeze Dried, High Altitude, Nopal Cactus (Prickly Pear) Cost In Relation To That Of The Nopal Cactus (Prickly Pear) Juice?"
One of our nopal cactus (prickly pear) bottles contain (500mg / 120 capsules) of 100% freeze dried nopal cactus (prickly pear) and retails for $30.00 which includes shipping and handling. The more you purchase the less you pay. For example, we currently have a Buy 3 Get 2 Free. This works out to just $18/bottle and includes shipping/handling.
One nopal cactus (prickly pear) capsule is equal to about one ounce of the juice, so if you currently consume 3 ounces of juice a day, you would consume 3 capsules of our Freeze Dried Nopal Powder Capsules a day. As there are 120 capsules in the bottle, the bottle will last 40 days. Compare that to the 32oz bottle of the nopal cactus (prickly pear) juice and will need 4 bottles of juice to equal one bottle of Freeze Dried Nopal Powder Capsules. Therefore, you will spend $30.00 (or less)/40 days with our Freeze Dried Nopal Powder Capsules compared to $200/40 days for nopal cactus (prickly pear) juice. This represents an average savings of $1500/person/year.
For a limited time, we would like you to put everything we said above to the test with our Free Freeze Dried Nopal Powder Capsules Offer:

Catch and Release Fishing
Fishing is a sport, but it has become less about survival and more about fun in recent decades. There is an issue of fish becoming depleted and many anglers are now employing the practice of catch and release fishing. It's a great catch phrase but there are a few problems with catching and releasing.
Catch and release fishing is a great theory, but many people are doing it incorrectly and as a result many fish are dying. A few steps should be followed when trying to catch and release a fish.
Once you get the hang of how to do it correctly, you will be able to enjoy your hobby and keep the population of fish full in your favorite stream or lake.
The best place to start is with the hooks. A fish that has a hole through its mouth is going to be more likely to survive than a fish with a hole in its lung or gill.
If you happen to hook a fish in the gut, the best thing to do is to cut off the hook as much as you can then release the fish. Many times the hook will dissolve and the fish will spit it out, but they can also live with a rusted hook hanging from them.
Whatever you do, do not tug on your line to pull a hook out or you will severely hurt the fish. If you are able to easily remove the hook, use a pair of needle nose pliers. The process of pulling the hook out is easier if you remove the barbs from the hooks, but try not to wiggle while you pull the hook out. You can flatten the barbs on your fish hooks with a pliers and that will work fine.
Fish are obviously unable to survive outside of the water. Therefore, the longer that it takes you to release them, the more it becomes as if you are suffocating them.
The way that a fish is gripped when out of the water will make a big difference. For instance, avoid touch a fish's body with your bare hands. The fish have a slimy protective coat that will be stripped if you touch them with your hands. If you have to touch a fish, make sure that your hands are wet. You may want to wear gloves to protect your hands from cuts or permeating fish smells.
Part of the fun in fishing is to play out the fish. The struggle can be what some anglers wait all day to do. Fish are like humans; when they work out, they build up lactic acid. When you are fighting a fish, they are fighting too.
Just like when someone works his or her body out and it feels sore, a fish experiences the same thing. The build up of lactic acid can be toxic to a fish even days later. Therefore, if you are going to practice catch and release, try to keep the struggle to a minimum.
Try not to let a fish flop around when you catch them. A fish that flops around can bruise or damage its internal organs, causing them to die later from the injuries that are incurred.
You can also revive a fish if you need to do so. A fish is likely to run out of oxygen and pass out, so to speak. In order to revive a fish, you place the fish in the water with their belly down and gently grasp their tail.
Start to slowly move their tail back and forth until they give you the signal that they are ready to take off into the water. Sometimes you will need to repeat the process more than once, but don't let a fish go until they are ready. A fish that is not ready to swim could get carried away and swept into rocks or embankment and cause serious injury.
More than anything, when you are practicing catch and release, have everything ready to go. Make sure that your camera, pliers, and gloves are in reaching distance. Try to take the precautions necessary to preserve fish and one of America's favorite pastimes.

The Mitcham Farm goes back five generations in Newton County. For more than 50 years, cotton, vegetables, livestock and feed crops sustained the farm. In the latter part of the 1900s and into the beginning of this century, beef cattle kept it going. But in the last several years, the Mitcham family has tried a new tact in generating income from the land - Colonel Cob's Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch.Activities at Colonel Cob's include a 7-acre corn maze with 21/2 miles of path, hayrides, a bonfire with weenie and marshmallow roasting, pumpkins for sale, corn cannon, giant mountain slide, inflatable jumpy, petting zoo, cow train, pony rides and a play area for children. With tickets from $4 to $14 per person depending on the activities, it's an opportunity for the Mitchams to bring in extra income. "Agritourism allows you to be a little profitable on small farms. It gives you another option," said Kevin Mitcham, who runs Colonel Cob's with his father, Tommy Mitcham. "If you didn't have agritourism, it would be tough to make a living off of 100 acres." The Colonel Cob's Corn Maze also features an educational component. The Mitchams grow sample cotton, peanut, soybean and sorghum crops for school groups to see and corn trivia facts are posted along the way in the maze. "It's enjoyable to know that you can let people know what goes on at the farm. The farmers have a chance to tell their story and not let anybody else tell it for them," Kevin said. Tommy Mitcham said the corn maze got a shaky start back in 2002 when the corn planted for the maze got blown flat by Hurricane Frances. The Mitchams propped the corn up as best they could and welcomed visitors despite the damage. About 1,000 came through that year. "I said 'We have to keep going like nothing happened,'" Tommy said. Since then, Colonel Cob's has grown in scope, with the Mitchams adding new features each year, such as the slide, pumpkin patch and hayride. The corn maze also welcomed back local magician Kyle Groves who performed Saturday and has later dates on Oct. 3 and 17. Tommy Mitcham said he'd like to add more entertainers, perhaps musicians, and include church groups and other nonprofits who might like to do some fundraising. "We're always looking for new ways to make it interesting to people," Tommy said. Karen J. Rohr can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

YARMOUTH, Maine (NEWS CENTER)- It's a new approach to medicine that is springing up across the country and now in Maine. Patients tired of assembly-line medical care are paying hundreds of dollars to get personalized service with their doctor.
Doctors practicing so-called "concierge medicine" believe patient's health will improve in the long term.
Helen Budri has been going to Dr. Phillip Fredrick, a primary care physician for 22 years. But he has never really had the opportunity to get to know her until now.
'I am finding out things all the time that I think are really pertinent to their health, to their wellness I never knew before because i now have time to ask,' said Dr. Frederick..
Two months ago Dr. Frederick converted his practice to a 'concierge medicine' model. He is the first doctor in Maine to join MD-VIP. The Florida-based consulting company that helps run a network of similar medical offices across the country.
'What MD-VIP promised me was the opoprtunity to get back to my roots. That is kind of a new approach of an old fashioned style of practice, that I think people still cherish and want for themselves.'
That includes trading 15-minute visits for more time with patients, that can last longer than an hour But this personalized medical care comes at a price. Budri agreed to pay a 15-hundred dollar annual fee to be part of Dr. frederick's smaller practice. He used to see more than 15-hundred patients, now there are only 600. What budri gets in return is 24-hour access to her doctor.
Some of the annual fee covers tests, comprehensive wellness screenings and one to one couseling services not typically covered by commercial insurance or Medicare.
In addition to paying the fee, all the of Dr. Frederick's patients still must use their insurance to cover routine medical care. But patients we spoke to it's worth every penny and you get to keep your doctor.
Dr. George Gardiner plans to open a MD-VIP practice in Scarborough in January.

Your first thought might be Why? But rest assured, the soul of the original medium-fast action DH series was not lost. The advancements in casting techniques and modern fly lines just inspired us to update and redesign this popular lineup. More distance with ease sums up our whole thought process with the DH II series. Bonus: Only since the evolution of modern spey lines has it been possible to build a true tweener rod, thus the 6.5 line designation. The gap between 6- and 7-weight two-handed rods has always left anglers searching for either a bigger six or smaller seven. Search no more, the 6.5 will definitely become the lower 48 meat-and-potatoes Summer Steelhead stick.

text: Employers Hold the Line on Health Benefits Cost Increases Wellness programs and consumer-driven plans help rein in per-employee costs By Stephen Miller 11/23/2009 Permissions Many U.S. employers feared that health benefits cost growth would spike in 2009 as employees, worried about keeping their jobs and health coverage, consumed more health services than usual. In fact, 2009 saw the lowest annual increase in a decade, as the average per-employee cost of health benefits rose 5.5 percent to reach $8,945 after four years of increases of just over 6 percent. However, benefits cost growth still outpaced inflation in 2009 by a widening margin, according to an analysis by Mercer, an HR consultancy. Mercer's research reveals that: • U.S. employers held cost growth to 5.5 percent in 2009, the lowest increase in a decade. • Growth in the use of wellness or health management programs accelerated as large employers looked to hold down cost without cost-shifting. • Small employers added consumer-directed health plans in 2009, helping to push up enrollment in these high-deductible plans to 9 percent of all covered employees. Similar cost growth is expected in 2010, according to Mercer's National Survey of Employer-Sponsored Health Plans. Employers predicted that medical plan cost would rise by about 9 percent in 2010 if they simply renewed their current plans without making any changes. However, they hope to achieve about a 6 percent increase after making changes to plan design or changing plan vendors. Mercer's annual survey included public and private organizations with 10 or more employees; 2,914 employers responded in 2009. "Small and large employers used different strategies to keep cost growth down in 2009," says Beth Umland, Mercer's director of health and benefits research. "Small employers moved employees into low-cost consumer-directed health plans and raised PPO deductibles. We saw relatively little cost-shifting among large employers—what jumped out was a real increase in their use of programs and policies designed to improve workforce health." Total Health Benefit Cost per Employee in 2009,by employer size All U.S. employers $8,945 Small employers (10-499 employees) $8,452 Large employers (500 or more employees) $9,286 Source: Mercer's National Survey of Employer-Sponsored Health Plans. Increase in Health/Wellness Management The workforce health/wellness management movement gained considerable momentum in 2009, as offerings of virtually every type of health/wellness management program—including health risk assessments, disease management and behavior modification—rose significantly. Research suggests these programs are having an impact: Medical plan cost increases in 2009 were about 2 percentage points lower, on average, among employers with extensive health management programs than among those employers offering limited or no health management programs. Nearly three-fourths of employers that have measured the return on their investment in health management programs say they are satisfied with the year-over-year savings, lower utilization rates or improved health risks. However, only about a third of all large employers have formally measured return on investment (ROI). "A lot more employers were willing to place their bet on health management in 2009," says Linda Havlin, a worldwide partner and Mercer's global health and benefits intellectual capital leader. "But they will want to see continual gains. Measuring health management ROI is inherently challenging and continues to evolve. There's growing anecdotal evidence that well-designed and communicated health management programs can improve outcomes, but we need to work harder at understanding and eliminating missed opportunities—and that includes changing noncompliant patient behavior." A fifth of all large U.S. employers—but almost half of the biggest, with 20,000 or more employees—use health and wellness management incentives. "Now that most large employers have at least some health management programs in place, we're seeing a new focus on improving both provider and employee engagement by using incentives to drive improved participation, outcomes and compliance," Havlin says. Sharp Growth in Health/Wellness Programspercent of large employers offering programs 2008 2009 Health risk assessment 65% 73% Disease management program 66% 71% Behavior modification 39% 51% Health advocate services 47% 53% Nurse advice line 76% 78% Case management 79% 82% Source: Mercer's National Survey of Employer-Sponsored Health Plans. Very large employers are also increasingly willing to reward employees who demonstrate responsibility for their health. Nearly a fourth of those with 20,000 or more employees vary employees' premium contribution amounts based on their smoker status—23 percent, up from 17 percent in 2008. Lower Premium Contributions for Nonsmokers percent of large employers offering programs 2008 2009 Employers with 500+ employees 6% 9% Employers with 20,000+ employees 17% 23% Source: Mercer's National Survey of Employer-Sponsored Health Plans. CDHPs Catch on Big with Small Employers Small employers held down cost increases by sharply raising deductibles for in-network preferred-provider organization (PPO) services. Their actions drove the average PPO deductible among all employers up by about $100 for an individual and $300 for families, to $1,096 and $2,515, respectively. Consistent with past years, employers kept premium contributions relatively stable, choosing to keep the cost of coverage affordable while shifting the burden to those who use health services. Compared to large employers, small employers have been slow to adopt high-deductible, account-based consumer-directed health plans (CDHPs). But in 2009 CDHP offerings among U.S. employers with 10-499 employees jumped from 9 percent to 15 percent. This helped drive the percentage of all covered employees enrolled in CDHPs from 7 percent to 9 percent. Enrollment in PPOs was flat at 69 percent, while enrollment in health maintenance organizations (HMOs) fell from 23 percent to 21 percent. HMO enrollment peaked in 2001 at 33 percent and has been eroding ever since. In 2009, the average HMO cost per employee was higher than PPO cost. Jump in CDHP Offerings Among Small Employerspercent of employers CDHPs* offered in: 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 "very likely" to offer in 2010 Small employers (10-499 employees) 2% 5% 7% 9% 15% 18% Large employers (500 or more employees) 5% 11% 14% 20% 20% 24% * Based on a health savings account (HSA) or health reimbursement arrangement (HRA). Source: Mercer's National Survey of Employer-Sponsored Health Plans. "Over the past decade employers have been moving away from HMOs to PPOs, in part because PPOs give them greater flexibility to control cost sharing with members," says Umland. "Now we're seeing growth in consumer-directed health plans, in which cost-sharing is sweetened by an account that allows employees to accumulate any health care dollars they save by spending less or spending more wisely." While growth in CDHP offerings in 2009 was evident only among small employers, the plans are still most common among large employers: CDHPs are offered by 20 percent of employers with 500 or more employees and 43 percent of those with 20,000 or more employees. However, small employers that offer a CDHP are much more likely to offer it as the only medical plan: 55 percent compared to just 9 percent of large employers with CDHPs. With the cost of coverage in an HSA-based CDHP more than 20 percent lower, on average, than the cost of coverage in a PPO, small employers that moved all employees into a CDHP in 2009 were able to realize significant cost savings. "Small employers, like large employers, want control over how their money is spent," adds Havlin. "Using consumerism and health management strategies, employers have been able to keep cost increases stable for the past five years, and even to bend the trend in the right direction in 2009." Medical Plan Cost Per Employeeby plan type 2008 2009 Preferred-provider organization (PPO) $7,815 $8,223 Health maintenance organization (HMO) $7,768 $8,570 Health savings account-eligible consumer-driven health plan (CDHP) $6,027 $6,393 Source: Mercer's National Survey of Employer-Sponsored Health Plans. Additional Highlights Among other key findings from the survey: • Health care flexible spending accounts. FSAs are offered by 27 percent of all employers but 85 percent of those with 500 or more employees. The average employee contribution is $1,424, well below the $2,500 cap that has been suggested in health reform proposals. • COBRA. Take-up rates rose after September 2008 for half (51 percent) of all large employers. • Mental health parity. About half of large employers (49 percent) were already in compliance with the requirements of the Mental Health Parity Act that is effective for plan years beginning after Oct. 3, 2009; 47 percent have made (or will make) changes to their behavioral health coverage to comply, in most cases by removing special coverage limits. • Spousal coverage. Surcharges or other special provisions to limit election of coverage for spouses who have other coverage available are used by 12 percent of large employers, up from 8 percent in 2008. An additional 5 percent are considering adding such a provision. • Retiree medical. There was no further erosion in the prevalence of retiree medical coverage in 2009. Among large employers, 28 percent offer an ongoing plan for pre-Medicare-eligible retirees, and 21 percent offer one for Medicare-eligible retirees. Ten years ago, in 1999, these figures were 35 percent and 28 percent, respectively. • 'Mini-med' or limited health programs. Low-cost plans that are intended to cover routine or preventive care only (as opposed to catastrophic care) were offered by 7 percent of large employers and 20 percent of those with 20,000 or more employees. Large employers in the wholesale/retail industry, which typically employ a lot of part-time employees, were the most likely to offer these plans (17 percent).There was no growth in offerings of these plans in 2009, and they are not expected to survive health reform proposals that would create a minimum "essential benefits" mandate for employer-provided coverage. • Worksite clinics. More than a fourth of large employers (27 percent) offer an on-site or near-site medical clinic for occupational health services; 11 percent of large employers offer a clinic for primary care services. Survey Methodology The Mercer National Survey of Employer-Sponsored Health Plans is conducted using a national probability sample of public and private employers with at least 10 employees. More than 2,900 employers completed the survey in 2009. The survey was conducted during the late summer, when most employers have a good fix on their costs for the year. Results represent about 600,000 employers and more than 90 million full- and part-time employees. Stephen Miller is an online editor/manager for SHRM.

Like so many of his fellow competitors, Jeff Gibson's opportunity to compete in the 2009 AMA Arenacross Series came just weeks before the season was slated to begin. Luckily for Gibson, a long-term relationship with team manager Dave Antolak provided a last-minute opportunity to join the Mahindra Tractors/Tuf Honda team with series legend Josh Demuth.
So far this season, Gibson has made the most of his chance to ride with the two-time reigning championship team. After four races, his worst finish is third, including one victory. As a result, he holds a comfortable 18-point lead. However, the unpredictable nature of the AMA Arenacross Series could strike Gibson at any time, so he isn't putting his ducks in a row just yet.
Coming into Dayton this weekend, the Ohio-native is excited to race in front of his hometown crowd at the Nutter Center and is looking to just keep up the momentum.
What has it been like to achieve so much success this early in the season?
I'm actually pretty pumped right now with the way things have started off. But a lot of guys are having problems with their bikes, and I don't want to wish any bad luck on anyone. Frankly, anything can happen. It's a long season and I'm just getting some breaks right now. Everyone is riding really well, but our Mahindra Tractor/Tuf Honda team his running great. The bikes a great and I couldn't be more pleased right now.
With that said, what is it like to be a part of such a successful team?
Our team is awesome. My mechanic Andy Brannen is so cool to hang out with. He is always upbeat and the nicest guy you'll ever meet. I couldn't be happier. Trace [Josh Demuth's mechanic] is good, Dave Antolak goes without saying. The team is just really good and I'm really happy right now.
That deal came together pretty late. What were your plans prior to that? I didn't have any. Honestly I didn't know what I was going to do. I was calling Dave trying to get something worked out. Ever since I rode with Dave in 2000 for a couple races and ever since then he has tried to get me back on the team every year. So I actually called him this year to get things rolling and it worked out really well. I think I was put in this position for a reason and its really working out together. The good lord is keeping me safe so hopefully things just keep rolling.
What is it like to have Josh as a teammate?
It's really cool. Josh and I have actually been friends since he was 16 years old and I was 12. He used to live in Ohio and we used to ride together a little bit. He was one of my heroes back then. So I've always looked up to him and he's a cool teammate to have. Always funny and outgoing and we always have a good time.
How has the adjustment of returning to the AMA Arenacross Series been?
Well, I rode in 2001 and then in 2003 - I did a regional arenacross. It's just tough. Every round and every night is different. Everyone goes so fast and is at the same speed that anything can happen. It is the AMA Arenacross Series. You just got to be smart, do the right thing, and be in the right places at the right times. It's still really tough and it's always going to be tough. I'm definitely not going to say its easy that's for sure.
This is basically your home race this weekend. What does that mean to you?
I'm really pumped for the home race. I'll be home this week and I'll be with my wife so it's nice. It's also going to be kind of chaotic with it being a home race. Sometimes it's good sometimes it's a bad thing, but it's definitely cool to see all the old friends and the people I grew up with in racing. I'm really excited about the weekend.
With how the season has gone so far, what are your goals now?
I just want to do it one race at a time. I don't want to get worked up about this championship because it's so early in the season right now. I just want to keep putting in one good night at a time and give each race 110% trying to do the best I can. I've been riding really well recently and I've been happy with that and I just want it to continue.
Anybody you're keeping your eye on?
Everybody. I mean everybody is going fast right now. You never know who's going to come up and blow past you. Skaggs is on his game right now and doing really good. He's kind of an unexpected one. Josh [Demuth] is going to come up because he's been riding well. I know Chad [Johnson] is going to be getting in the groove again. [Brock] Sellards - everybody. They're all just riding so good right now. I can't say exactly that there is one certain name.

Photos sent to the 9Wants to Know investigators Friday afternoon show a city truck parked outside the Diamond Cabaret in downtown Denver. Women in bikinis are perched on the hood of the truck and others are standing nearby. In one photo, a shirtless man in work pants and boots poses for a photo in front of the truck. Another shirtless man is seen in another photo outside the strip club.
"They were quite enjoying themselves," the viewer told 9Wants to Know. "We don't need one and certainly not two paving trucks sitting there."
The viewer who took the photographs said the shirtless men returned to two marked city vehicles after at least 20 minutes outside the strip club around 2 p.m. on Friday.
Public Works spokeswoman Daelene Mix said the city was aware of the photos and handling the situation.
"We are identifying the vehicle to find out who the operator is and we will take appropriate action," Mix said.
The woman who answered the phone at the Diamond Cabaret confirmed the strip club had held a car wash Friday, but said she was unsure how many City of Denver vehicles came by over the course of the day.

I tried this out recently for Fedora core 7 (FC7), without having to rely as much on the Fedora FAQ site.
First run these commands where "X" is your current Fedora core version.

Yeah Great Fine, Couches
1028 SE Water Ave.
[HELLO GOODBYE] Its been a rough year for Yeah Great Fine. After releasing a well-received seven-inch in late 2011, the band—which blends herky-jerky rhythms, Afropop guitars and skyscraping harmonies into a math-y sort of dance music—hit the road. Upon returning to Portland a month later, drummer Dave Hires checked himself into rehab, and the group's future was uncertain. With Hires now 10 months sober, the band is celebrating a delayed triumphant homecoming. It won't last long, though: Singer-guitarist Jake Hershman is moving to California, meaning this show is both a reunion and a farewell in one. But as they say, it's better to rock out than fade away. And considering how close the band was to just fading away, this night should be extra celebratory.

Accessories Spotting: Warby ParkerBy Casey • Dec 17th, 2012 • Category: FASHION, Shoes and Accessories
A few weeks ago I went to the Warby Parker showroom in Soho, looking for a new pair of sunglasses. I didn't want to spend a ton of money, but still wanted high-end, luxury, and well crafted shades. And that is exactly what I got. I ended up scoring a pair of light pink Jaspers with tinted blue frames and cannot tell you how many compliments I have gotten them. So much so, that I have not taken them off in a month. Seriously.
A collaboration between four close friends, Warby Parker was conceived as an alternative to the overpriced and bland eyewear available today. Prescription eyewear simply should not cost $300+. The industry is controlled by a few large companies that have kept prices artificially high, reaping huge profits from consumers who have no other options. By circumventing traditional channels and engaging with customers directly through our website, Warby Parker is able to provide higher-quality, better-looking prescription eyewear at a fraction of the price.
Available exclusively through their website and showrooms, their glasses retail for $95.
Shop Warby Parker online here.

This evening is the start of Ramazan Bayramı which is the three-day holiday that follows the end of the holy month of Ramazan. Called Eid es-Seghir in many other Muslim countries, Ramazan Bayramı, sometimes called Şeker Bayramı or 'Sugar Festival' or 'Candy Holiday' starts at sunset on the last day of Ramadam or Ramazan as its called here in Turkey and celebrates the completion of the holy month of fasting. Fasting in Ramadan teaches people to get ready for the bad days (like wars, food or water shortage etc.) and helps them understand how the poor people feel when they have hunger.
The holiday is a time for sending greeting cards to friends and loved ones, paying visits, giving gifts and enjoying a lot of sweets. Everyone enjoys drinking lots of Turkish tea and coffee in broad daylight after the 30 days of daylight fasting during Ramazan. I especialy love the tradition of children knocking on the door to Show off their new clothes in hope of being given sweets or a coin or two and wishing the people who answer the door 'İyi Bayramlar' also kissing your hand and then touching their foreheads with it which is a major gesture of respect.
It always amazes me that when being presented with a large dish of sweets the children are ever so polite and only take one and have to be encourage to take more. Thats not to say that they won't knock on your door every day of the holiday though! And so, we're sat at home now with a huge plate of sweets looking at us and trying to be strong willed and not eat them ourselves. Well just one won't hurt …. will it?
As I write, we can also hear the Ramazan Drummers, they've spent the last month walking the streets of Kuşadasi, banging their drums to wake the people up to eat before sunrise. Today, they're walking the streets banging their drums loud and proud as they wish people İyi Bayramlar and hope for a few tips. It's always nice to finally see the night time drummer in person.
Tomorrow I will spend the day visiting my husbands family some of who still are not used to having a foreigner in their home. They'll ply me with çay (turkish tea) which is a black tea and is generally not drank in cups or mugs but in special glasses (there must be an art to drinking it without burning your fingers but i have yet to find it), and every sweet thing imaginable!
The children bring their friends to practise their english on me and i get a chance to try out my turkish, the neighbours come by to check out the yabancı (foreigner) and they all make me feel extremely welcome. It's rather like our Christmas.
İyi Bayramlar!

It's no secret that Kelly Ripa is ripped. In the latest issue of Good Housekeeping, the talk show host goes into the details of her strict workout routine – and explains why she simply has to work out daily, or she won't at all.
A couple of years ago, paparazzi shots of Kelly at the beach made the round online, getting all kinds of reactions from fans.
Mostly, they were in awe at how fit she was: not just slender, but actually ripped.
In the interview with Good Housekeeping, Kelly explains that working out is something that she does by habit daily, something that has become an addiction for her.
"I work out every day. It's part of my life. That's one of the benefits of having kids in school full-time. I'm usually done with work around 11am, so I have time before I pick the kids up from school," she says.
Exercise for her isn't just a means of looking good, it's also a means of feeling good.
"I do it more for my insides than my outside, but the outside gets a nice benefit, too. I feel like my mind is a little quieter when I exercise," she says.
Kelly recalls that it was her husband of 15 years who talked her into working out more, right after the birth of their son in 2003.
A few months after giving birth, Kelly became aware that she was feeling exhausted all the time and was barely able to carry her son up a flight of stairs without becoming short of breath.
She started working out at her husband's suggestion and has not stopped since. Of course, the routines have evolved and are now considerably more complicated and challenging, but only because she gets bored of doing the same exercises over and over again.
"I work out with a trainer, Anna Kaiser, three days a week. We do what I would call cardio ballet and power yoga. I take spinning classes at Soul Cycle [in New York], which I love, and I run. I get bored, so I like to mix it up a little bit," she says.
"I try to make my heart beat out of my chest, hard-core, once a day for at least a half hour. I think that's very important," Kelly explains, adding that her family has a history of heart condition, so she wants to keep hers as healthy as possible.
However, she also tries not to push herself too much, giving herself little breathers whenever she feels like she's not up to it.
"If I'm exhausted and I just don't feel like it, then I don't do it. I am a human being, after all. But I also know I'm the kind of person who, if I take one day off, well, it's very easy for me to take the next day off and then quit exercising. If I don't do it every day, I won't do it at all," Kelly says.

A group of scientists just returned from the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands where they helped with the recovery of the Hawaiian monk seal.
There is only 1,100 of the endangered mammal in the world.
"I'm a scientist, so I can't talk about how cute they are, but they are," said Charles Littman, lead scientist of NOAA's Hawaiian Monk Seal Research Program.
Fresh back from an annual monk seal field camp, Littman had good and bad news for the monk seal population.
105 pups were born this year. That's the lowest amount recorded since these field camps began 29 years ago.
But, Littman says, on a brighter note, the juvenile survival rate is up.
"Last three years have been pretty good for juvenile survival so, hopefully, we'll have new young moms show up in the next few years," said Littman.
The scientists on these camps work to monitor and recover Hawaiian monk seals. The key is keeping them healthy and safe from predators, especially sharks.
Littman says they are working with a dewormer, much like the ones you give puppy dogs, that will keep these monk seal pups healthy.
Relocating mammals has been successful. Two recently weaned female pups the team transferred from the French Frigate Shoals, where sharks were a problem, to Laysan Island 360 miles away.
Littman says the weaners, as they are called, adapt easily to their new, safer home tripling their chance of survival.
Another threat, one that is man-made, is entanglement. Littman says they had feared the worst with the expected arrival of tsunami debris, but it has yet to come.
They had the potential to transfer several other weaning pups, but they ran out of time.
Past field camps lasted four to six months. But, because of budget cuts, this year's camp was only seven weeks long.
Littman is hopeful they can get the funding returned to the program in the near future.

Cobbler-ing it Together
I'm a pretty lazy cook to begin with, but this summer—after spending what felt like two months making my brother's wedding cake—I have really taken it easy.
This fruit cobbler, made with mixed berries and topped with chocolate chip cookie dough, is about the easiest thing you could bake and call your own. All the ingredients can sit happily in your refrigerator until that moment when you suddenly find yourself in need of a warm, comforting dessert.
What makes it so last minute is that I cheat. Cheat, I say. Me, the baker-blogger who is obsessed with teaching people how to bake from scratch cheats and uses ready-made cookie dough in this recipe.
Other people did the work for me. That's not lazy. That's clever.
Maybe it shouldn't be called cheating. It's efficient! It's economical! It means I can make a homey dessert in about five minutes! It feels a tad weird to break out a package of cookie dough, but I'm also a realist, and know that we are not always blessed with time to whip up a full-blown dessert.
Happy little lumps of dough, ready to turn into cookies.
This is a recipe begging for experimentation. Try sugar cookies as a topping instead of chocolate chip. Use a mixture of fruits, such as raspberry and peach. Whatever your fruit combo, throw in a couple of teaspoons of corn starch or tapioca starch (or even flour if you've nothing else), to help thicken the sauce.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Berry Cobbler
What You'll Need:
- 2 16-ounce bags frozen mixed berries, thawed and drained*
- Zest of one orange (if you're feeling fancy)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp tapioca starch or corn starch
- 1 14-ounce package chocolate chip cookie dough (I used Immaculate Baking's dough)
What You'll Do:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Empty the bags of mixed berries into a baking dish. I used one 8 1/2-inches wide and 2 inches deep, and don't recommend one any bigger unless you are planning to alter the recipe.
3. Sprinkle the sugar, tapioca and orange zest on top, and mix to coat the berries.
4. Break the cookie dough into pieces and dot over the top of the berry mixture.
5. Bake about 25 minutes until berries are bubbly and cookies are baked through and browned. If things seem to be taking a ferociously long time to bake, loosely cover the pan with aluminum foil to encourage it along.
Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and you will be on your way to baking stardom.
*Of course you can use fresh fruit if you have it. A mixture of blueberries and chunks of peach, or apples and raspberries, or blackberries, raspberries and blueberries. Or whatever strikes your fancy, quite obviously.
Looking for more after-school treats? Howsabout some easy-to-make Whole-Wheat Blonde Brownies?
Please note: I have been known to write blogs that also appear on the Immaculate Baking website. And Immaculate Baking also sends me coupons so I get a little money off the cost. So, on occasion, I see what is possible to invent with their products; products which I enjoyed before they even sent me any coupons. Take a look at my homemade toaster pastries (aka, what copyright lawyers know as similar to PopTarts).

If you don't think Def Leppard aren't metal enough to get inside the Hangar you'd be wrong. When their first album On Through The Night came out it was on par to and considered part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Their second album High 'N' Dry continued them down that path. It was 1983's Pyromania that launched them into the stratosphere and shaped their sound to come on their following albums. Joe Elliott is the lead singer and we dig deep into the history of Def Leppard's metal years this week in the Hangar.
Then for something a little more light hearted from the world of Megadeth's Dave Mustaine we go In The Vault with Dave's apperance on the Drew Carey Show in 1998 when he try's out for Drew's one night only band.
Speaking of a Big 4 band our Power Set this week features a very underrated Anthrax album, State of Euphoria. Their 1988 follow-up to Among the Living had a lot to live up to sure but the album get's a bad rap and we've got a few songs to prove it. Plus this week the album celebrates its 26th anniversary, being released September 18, 1988.
(Anthrax artwork courtesy of Island Records)
We'll stay away from Gothenburg this week for our Then & Now but we will stay on the thrash metal route. By this point you may know that Steve "Zetro" Souza is back in Exodus and that original Exodus (and current Metallica) guitarist Kirk Hammet plays on their new record. The song is called "Salt in the Wound" and we have it for an Exodus Then & Now.
Finally this week's Heavy Metal Soundtrack Recommendation is from the 2007 comedy Balls of Fury
Hell yeah! It's another 3 hours of old school metal inside Hangar 19, you ready?

Arrest Made in One of the St. Cloud Shootings
St. Cloud Police have made an arrest in one of the shooting that happened Tuesday night.
St. Cloud Police have made an arrest in one of the shooting that happened Tuesday night.
2012 was not a good year for Randy Travis. He was arrested in February for public intoxication. When that happened the public got their hands on the video footage and got a good laugh out of it...
Early this morning, Adrian Peterson was taken into custody at a nightclub in Houston.
After news of Randy Travis' 1:30AM arrest on a charge of suspicion of public intoxication circulated this morning, Travis came out with a public apology for his actions.
Daryl Hannah, who has acted in such films as 'Splash,' 'Wall Street' and the 'Kill Bill' series, was arrested on Tuesday for refusing to abandon a sit-in in front of the White House. Hannah was among more than 100 people detained by US Park Police while protesting the Keystone pipeline project.
"We stand here today to just say no to slavery, to just say no to tar, sands, oil, and no to the Keystone pipeline," Hannah said.

The NAACP should be shut down, do they ever support any whites? Last time I checked it was a color. If not shut down then change name to National Association of Advancement of African Americans, NAAAA.June 05 2010 at 7:39 PM Report abuse Permalink +28 rate up rate down Reply

Race is not the issue , Now we can't even suggest that someone is unelectable because you are suggesting that persons race is a factor ! There are people who are not electable simply because of the positions they take are against what the electric want period . People who make these accusations are using race as tool to win , Even using the race card to win .June 05 2010 at 6:47 PM Report abuse Permalink +21 rate up rate down Reply
It seems to be the consensus that "race" wasn't an issue here until the NAACP made it an issue. I dare say it did Elliot no favor. I further dare say Wills is doing himself no favor by flaunting his obsolete right-wing, disingenuous nonsense. What an absolute mess is being made of this contest! Aren't we better than that?June 05 2010 at 5:34 PM Report abuse Permalink +14 rate up rate down Reply
As an Independent who generally votes in the Democrat primary and cannot stand the far right or the far left, I cannot imagine a tougher, more frustrating dilemma. We have to choose between another race-card player candidate and a candidate who waves the banner of guns, God and abortion, usually the domain of right-wing conservative Republicans. We've got to wonder how these candidates get this far? On the other hand, maybe it's because not enough folks take enough interest in what's going on, including myself! Maybe we should all feel shame.June 05 2010 at 5:20 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
Unelectable is not a euphemism. It simply means that Mr. Wills does not believe that Ms. Elliot can be elected, reasons irrelevant. Mr. Wills, or Ms. Elliot for that matter, could have stated that the opponent was incompetent, inexperienced, ineffective, out of touch with the electorate, and so forth. Not being from Arkansas, I don't know if any of those descriptions would be true but I would assume that a candidate could use them if he (she) could back them up with facts. The term racist has become so overused that it is now, in most cases and in my opinion, meaningless. The true racist in this election seems to be the NAACP's Mr. Dale Charles. He's complaining that a black candidate has never been elected to Congress from Arkansas. Is it possible that a black candidate who reflects the views of the people of Arkansas hasn't run for the office?June 05 2010 at 5:16 PM Report abuse Permalink +23 rate up rate down Reply
When the word is used without qualifiers it is a euphemism. Had he said from the word go she is unelectable because of hert politics it would no have been a euphemism.June 05 2010 at 3:23 PM Report abuse Permalink +4 rate up rate down Reply
why in the world does the race card ALWAYS get thrown in.. what he said doesnt sound racial to me.. he has a point a person who has such liberal views is going to have a really hard time getting elected in an area that is known as the Bible belt...June 05 2010 at 3:02 PM Report abuse Permalink +27 rate up rate down Reply
