For the Jets, the Talk Gets Walked
With Win Over the Patriots, Rex Ryan's Bombast Is Restored; Vikings, Cowboys Are 0-2
Best. Hard. Knocks. Episode. Ever?
Really: How was New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan going to explain an 0-2 start? He'd spent an entire offseason cockily talking up his team like James Cameron on a Skittles high at Comic-Con. He'd invited HBO into his locker room and, alarmingly, his whirlpool. He'd profanely boasted about a Super Bowl, about leading the league in wins, in the process wounding the virginal ears of former coach Tony Dungy.
Then Mr. Ryan's Jets went bust against Baltimore in Week One. The city flipped out, as if "Mad Men" were cancelled. The swagger vanished. Magic Khakis became Panic Khakis. Could the J-E-T-S really be M-E-T-S?
But now the freakout is over. The Jets stuffed the New England Patriots 28-14 on Sunday before a Meadowlands crowd that left exuberant, clammy and nauseously relieved. The talk was walked, and the world's most unrepentant Super Bowl march is back on. Bring back the bleep button and set it to stun. Use any four-letter word you like.
How's this one: good. As in, the Jets really are a good football team. That wasn't the Washington Generals who rumbled into that new $1.6 billion stadium, but the formidable Patriots, the Jets' most loathed rival. The Patriots had shellacked Cincinnati last week, and celebrity stylist Tom Brady was eager to come give that Jets ego a drastic haircut.
But the Jets would apply the highlights on Sunday. Second-year quarterback Mark Sanchez-you remember Mr. Sanchez, he's the guy who supposedly can't pass or handle pressure, and must have a drink box and "Goodnight, Moon" read to him at the half-impressively outperformed Mr. Brady, completing 21 of 30 passes for 220 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions. LaDainian Tomlinson-dumped by San Diego faster than Ron Burgundy-ran 11 rimes for 76 yards.
"I thought he was washed up," Mr. Ryan said of Mr. Tomlinson afterward, in a relatively restrained postgame news conference.
Sunday's most awaited showdown—besides Mr. Ryan versus his own mouth—was the pairing of Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis against Patriot receiver Randy Moss. Mr. Revis had quietly taunted Mr. Moss, suggesting the future Hall of Famer would again spend his Meadowlands afternoon languishing on "Revis Island," his droll term for the way he shuts down pass catchers.
But Mr. Moss escaped late in the first half. Mr. Brady lofted a 34-yard pass toward the end zone, and Mr. Moss managed to brilliantly catch it with one hand, as if playing ultimate frisbee. Revis Island suddenly looked more like St. Bart's than Alcatraz. For Jets fans, it only got worse: Mr. Revis clutched his left hamstring, done for the day.
Still, the Jets didn't flop—not even Antonio Cromartie, the talented but erratic corner who sometimes plays as if stranded on Gilligan's Island. In the third quarter, with the Jets trailing 14-10, he beat Mr. Moss downfield and hauled in a long bomb from Mr. Brady—the first of two interceptions of the Patriots' quarterback. Once more, the vaunted Jets defense would earn that "vaunted." Mr. Brady couldn't ignite his marquee airmen—Mr. Moss finished his day with just one catch besides the TD—and New England didn't appear to bring running backs to the contest.
So goodbye, Patriots smugness. Welcome back, Jets bombast. Next week, New York's weird football uncle faces Miami, which is now 2-0 after feasting on the failed retiree Brett Favre.
Mr. Favre, who is 84 years old and in his 62nd NFL season, was intercepted three times and fumbled in the end zone, leading to a Miami touchdown. He's now on pace to match his devoted critic Fran Tarkenton's Viking record of 32 picks, which Mr. Tarkenton actually might find a way to get cranky about.
But what Mr. Favre faces in winless Minnesota will be nothing compared with the angry chicken dance that Jerry Jones is about to unleash on his Dallas Cowboys after America's Scream slipped to 0-2 with a loss to Chicago. Mr. Jones is desperate for his Cowboys to win home field in this season's Super Bowl in Dallas, and if that doesn't happen, he may shut it down and turn it into a Jerry Jones Museum of Things That Make Jerry Jones Comically Angry. Which will probably be run by Bill Cowher.

The NFL's competition committee is considering punishing players for using racially discriminatory language on the field. Players would be penalized 15 yards if caught.
But how will the referees be able to catch every infraction on the field?
Baltimore Ravens General Manager Ozzie Newsome told reporters at the NFL Combine that the many microphones already on the field would help, but monitoring all language might be unfeasible.
If every sound can't be verified, what happens if a 15-yard penalty is the deciding factor in a game?
Players acknowledge that racial slurs are heard on the field.
"On the field, I'd be lying if I said I hadn't heard it," Minnesota defensive back Brock Vereen told the New York Times. "But not enough to where I would see a rule change be necessary."
ESPN's Michael Wilbon is skeptical that the rule will work."I understand the need to look at it," Wilbon said during special report on the "n-word" by "Outside The Lines" on ESPN. "I'm not sure it can be legislated successfully. Because the use of this particular word, the objection to it, the embracing of it, the emotion wrapped around it is more complex than any word that I can think of in the English language."
Some have suggested this rule would impinge on players' freedom of speech. Plus, players don't always use racial slurs in derogatory ways.
"[White people] don't know how it's used as a term of endearment, as an insult, as just a greeting," said Wilbon.
But the NFL isn't the only sports league dealing with the issue.
In December 2013, Krys Barch was ejected from an NHL matchup between the Montreal Canadians and the Florida Panthers for allegedly using a racial slur. He was later suspended for one game. Barch denied using a racial slur, but admitted his remarks were too explicit to repeat to the media, saying, "My grandma wouldn't want to hear it."
Major League Baseball suspended Toronto Bluejays shortstop Yunel Escobar for three days in 2012 when he wore eye black with a homophobic slur written on it in Spanish.
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Riley Cooper took a leave of absence from the team after his use of the "n-word" at a Kenny Chesney concert in 2013 created a major controversy.
The NBA banned a fan for directing a racial slur at Houston Rockets center Dikembe Mutombo in 2006. In a recent radio interview, the Miami Heat's Chris Bosh said he'd like all slurs to be banned from the league.
Where is the line between freedom of speech and behavior that can be regulated? Are on the field penalties the best way to deal with discrimination? Should the rule include homophobic language?
We'll have to wait and see what the NFL elects to do.

BIRTHDATE: April 23
BIRTHPLACE: Littleton, Colo.
STAR SIGN: Taurus
YEARS ON SHOW: 2008-present
MARITAL STATUS: Single
Born and raised in the small town of Littleton, Colo., Molly Burnett grew up in the Denver community theater world. She tackled the roles of Hermia in A Midsummer Night's Dream, Mayzie in Seussical, Annie in Annie and Dotty in Noises Off.
In high school, Burnett began pursuing her musical aspirations as a member of her school's a capella jazz ensemble. She was chosen to perform in the Colorado All-State Choir, All-State Jazz Choir and the National Honor Choir in Los Angeles. She was also a member of the speech and debate team, competing in the humorous interpretation division. She went on to compete and place at the national tournament.
After graduating, Burnett moved to New York. However, she quickly realized that in order to pursue her dreams of acting in television and film, she needed to be in Hollywood, and relocated to the West Coast. Burnett soon landed an agent and manager, and then her first audition with DAYS OF OUR LIVES. She was speedily cast in the role of Melanie Leyton, Max's long-lost sister.
Burnett admits to missing Colorado, but often goes back home to visit her parents and younger brother. In her spare time, she enjoys scrapbooking, decorating, and all things Harry Potter.

The discussion on the betting board about the Buick tournament got me wondering about this. He has not slowed down, if anything he is playing almost as well as he ever has. Every single aspect of his game is absolutely flawless. So any predictions about when he will get that magic major #18 to match The Bear? Or #19 to beat him?
Ask me when he gets to #16. Too hard to say at this point.
Actually, he's driving like crap lately. He hit less than 50% of his fairways this tournament. His short game is nothing short of phenomenal, but if that rough is US Open quality, he'd not be that far ahead of these guys.
He's only at like 13 total....he needs 5 more I believe.
I wonder what the CyBookie odds would be on him getting a Grand Slam this year?
he will have it after the Masters next spring
Late 2009.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
Did anyone hear him when he got interviewed? He said that he is still improving and that he feels he is better than last year and any of his previous years. He also said that he is just now coming into the peak of his career.
If thats true, watch out cause that doesn't sound good for the rest of the field.

Palma Nova Holidays
Fellow travellers say Palma Nova is great for…
Just south of Palma de Mallorca, the capital city of Mallorca, lies Palma Nova, one of the first purpose-built tourist resorts to spring up on this Balearic Island. A mecca for those seeking package holiday deals, Palma Nova was once a stand-alone resort, but over time the surrounding coastline has been developed to the point where it is impossible to tell where one resort ends and another begins. Its closest neighbour is the more renowned resort of Magaluf, but that has not stopped Palma Nova growing into a major holiday destination among Europeans.
Package holidays in Palma Nova offer everything you would expect when visiting one of the islands in the Mediterranean. At the heart of it is a fantastic beach for sunbathing, or if you're feeling more adventurous, you can take part in one of the many coastal activities on offer; choose from the likes of kite surfing, jet skiing and speed boat rides to name just a few. Glass bottom boats leave the marina every day, as do organised fishing trips. Your kids will love the mini-golf course in the resort, but if you want to play the real thing, there are also a number of full size18-hole golf courses within 10 km of Palma Nova.
When you spend your holidays in Palma Nova, you are by no means only limited to the activities on offer in the resort. The bustling capital of Palma de Mallorca is a great day out, steeped in history and has numerous attractions to visit. For instance, Castell de Bellver, a 14th century castle set atop a hill towering over the city, is one of its most visited landmarks. Magaluf is a short drive from Palma Nova, where there are two fantastic water parks - Aqualand and Western Water Park - to enjoy. Magaluf also has plenty of bars and clubs, so if you are in the mood for a night out, this is the place to go.

Shortly after IAF air strike against Qassam cell in Gaza, defense minister says 'restraint shown after incident on Gaza beach has ended'
Hanan Greenberg
Published: 06.13.06, 14:49 / Israel News
Hanan Greenberg
"We have been showing restraint due to the international outcry over the incident on the Gaza beach -- but no longer," he said during a tour in the north.
Peretz spoke minutes before an air strike in Gaza in which 9 Palestinians were killed when the air force targeted a van carrying Islamic Jihad terrorists on their way to fire rockets into Israel.
Peretz spoke during an exercise of the Home Front Command. Peretz also met with Northern Command chief Maj.-Gen. Yoav Galant and Southern Command chief Maj.-Gen. Udi Adam.
Peretz recently instructed the army to be vigilant while carrying air strikes in Gaza to avoid harming innocent civilians.
'Civilian casualties cannot be totally avoided'
At least five civilians were killed in Tuesday's strike, less than 12 hours ahead of the publication of the results of a military probe into the killing of seven members of the Ghalia family on a Gaza beach Friday afternoon.
"No evaluation will alter our commitment to defend the citizens of Israel. If the probe proves that it is was not an IDF shell we will launch a PR campaign," said Peretz when asked about the probe.
IAF Maj. Gen. Eliezer Shkedy said although the Air Force spares no effort to avoid harming civilians, civilian casualties cannot be totally avoided since terrorists operate from within populated areas.

Grey's Anatomy
Huge Grey's Anatomy Spoiler: Someone Is Going to Die in 2013!
Just in time for the docs of Grey's Anatomy to settle down after the plane crash and start getting back to saving lives and enjoying the holidays, their world is going to be rocked yet again. Their world … and ours.
Read spoilers at your own risk! For more on Wetpaint Entertainment's philosophy on spoilers, click here.
TVLine reports that another longtime beloved character is going to join Mark (Eric Dane) and Lexie (Chyler Leigh) in the (very attractive) afterlife in early 2013. What a way to start off the new year, right? We don't mean to ruin your Thanksgiving, but we can't let this go. It's safe to say that this is not what we expected from the season of romance.
Most importantly, which character do you think will be the next to die? Here's our guess: It's not going to be Meredith (Ellen Pompeo), Cristina (Sandra Oh), Derek (Patrick Dempsey), Alex (Justin Chambers), Callie (Sara Ramirez), Arizona (Jessica Capshaw) or Bailey (Chandra Wilson). Hopefully it won't be Owen (Kevin McKidd), Jackson (Jesse Williams), April (Sarah Drew) or Richard (James Pickens Jr.). Our money is on the beloved Adele (Loretta Devine).
Then again, we never thought George (T.R. Knight) would leave us so suddenly.
Do you guys think the show can handle another loss? Which character do you think we'll be saying goodbye to in a few months?
Catch the next new episode of Grey's Anatomy on Thursday, November 29 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

I saw a great thread here days ago that posted shaded mountains for general use. Thanks for dropping in with a map. A little color on this bad boy and you're on your way.
Greetings to you all!
When I was about to register an account here, I found out that my favorite username was already being used. To my surprise, I found out that I had already signed up few years ago but never posted even once. Hopefully, I will put more work into cartography to rectify that.
Let us start with few facts about myself. I graduated last year with BA degree in English studies from the University of Iceland. I've been working at shops and petrol stations since and during my time there, and inbetween I've been unemployed. I've lived in London for almost a year before I had to move back to Iceland due to unemployment. I aim at further study later this year, but switching from English to general linguistics.
I've enjoyed making maps since I was a wee child, but I have never developed the skill to do it professionally. I've mostly be making maps for my role-playing groups or just for fun. I have considered buying some of the ProFantasy programs, but I don't know if I will. Until I've decided I have turned my gaze towards Photoshop brushes and other such materials. Hopefully, I will find much help on the forums here and develop my hobby even further.
I thought I might share with you my recent creation, and the only map I've done using PS. I used StarRaven's Calligraphic Map Symbols set, which is just awesome
I saw a great thread here days ago that posted shaded mountains for general use. Thanks for dropping in with a map. A little color on this bad boy and you're on your way.
Thanks for the welcome. I am rather unskilled at landscape coloring but I intend to practice. Hopefully, I can show off a decent result in the future.
welcome to the guild - be sure to check out our tutorials and post in a WIP thread for help and critique while you map

Welcome and may I suggest a look at the work of the River Police before they catch you .
Thanks, and well suggested Lukc
I've been looking over some tutorials (still haven't found a good one for coloring the way I like it) and I agree that my rivers are... to put it mildly, not acceptable. I think I will do some testing on them.
Welcome, Skari-dono ! As for the rivers, just take a look at Redrobes' excellent tutorial on How To Get Your Rivers In the Right Place. Among the implausible placements you show, are rivers running sea to sea. Now, if your technology and setting permits, you could fix that just by labeling them canals :-), but no natural river is going to connect two bodies of water at the same elevation. And close enough to make no difference, connected oceans are at the same level.
So ... linguistics ... that mean you're going to set up conlang(s) to back up your labeling? Or is that too much like school and not enough like leisure? Remember, if you haven't gotten college credit for at least one thing that's really 'play', then you're not trying hard enough :-).
Another tip that might make things look better - in general avoid crossing major linework (borders, coasts, rivers) with labels. That's assuming you have reasonable alternative spots, and you do.
Again, glad you're with us; keep showing us your progress as you fiddle with tutorials and experiment with software - we're a friendly bunch and will do what we can to help you out.
I'll admit, my first try to remake this map was too based on the original I made 5-6 years ago. The rivers were all wrong. I've made some improvements and posted them to the Regional and World Mapping forum. Hopefully, those rivers will meet better approval
As for linguistics, I hope to make a conlang or two for the setting, but I am more likely to use constructed scripts for existing ones to start with. One of the northern cities, Isöldur (labelled Isoldur on the above map), is basically Icelandic meaning Icewaves.
I will work on my labelling. The full-size version allows plenty of room for labelling, so I will definitely consider using smaller scripts.

Bethenny Frankel Proves Pregnancy Can Be DangerousSunny Chanel
Being knocked up can get a bit dangerous. And for Bethenny Frankel of Real Housewives of New York City proved just that. What happened?
She wrote on Twiiter:
"I'm an imbecile.Twice I burnt my belly today by leaning up to the counter&touching a hot sheet pan.icing belly w frozen veggies now."
Ouch! A burnt belly? That doesn't sound fun at all. Sometimes a pregnant lady can just forgot about that added girth and a skinny minnie like Bethenny is probably so not used to the extra body mass. Next time she should tape pot holders to her belly. It wouldn't be pretty but hey, she'd be protected!

About us
Potton & Burton (formerly Craig Potton Publishing) is New Zealand's largest independent publishing house, and has a diverse list of New Zealand non-fiction publications, all produced within a strong ethos of quality and care. The original focus on photographic and outdoor books has broadened over the last decade to include books in all areas of non-fiction.
These have included such natural history titles as the landmark New Zealand's Native Trees, the NZ Post Book of the Year in 2012, and other seminal natural history books like Moa: The Life and Death of New Zealand's Legendary Bird. In the area of art and culture some noteworthy books have included Grahame Sydney Paintings 1974-2014 , Colin McCahon: A Question of Faith and Selling the Dream, an acclaimed book about New Zealand tourism posters. Photographic books have always been a strength, especially the work of Craig Potton, Andris Apse and Rob Brown. Historical themes have been well covered through such titles as the bestselling Molesworth, and the recent hit Tramping: A New Zealand History. An important offshoot of its publishing has always been an interest in contemporary issues, with perhaps most prominent being the work of investigative writer Nicky Hager, including the highly controversial book Dirty Politics.
Over recent years Potton & Burton has also developed a strong focus on good quality children's books, which have included classics such as the bestselling Herbert the Brave Sea Dog, and the hugely successful Explore & Discover series.
From the beginning the company has controlled its own sales and distribution, and that remains a key component of the company's success. This has also enabled Potton & Burton to provide distribution services to other publishers, currently including Lonely Planet, Hema products and Auckland University Press.
Potton & Burton is proudly independent, and actively values the freedom to publish books that inspire and matter, and to maintain a committed and hands-on involvement in every book that is published.
Company History
Craig Potton Publishing was started in 1987 by photographer and conservationist Craig Potton, whose original motivation was to create a vehicle to publish high-quality photographic books. In 1990 Robbie Burton, who now co-owns the company with Craig Potton, joined Craig Potton Publishing as Managing Editor and Publisher. Since 1987, the company has grown to the point where it now publishes more than 20 new titles per year, maintains a strong backlist of New Zealand books, and also publishes around 20 calendars annually. The company is based in Nelson, and changed its name to Potton & Burton in March 2015.

South African boxing promotions company Golden Gloves
told South African media they have offered the Chiefs and All Blacks
star a bout on June 16.
"We have given him an offer to fight in the country on
June 16. It would be nice to have Williams come down to the country. We
are hoping that he will," said Golden Gloves representative Brian
Mitchell said they were waiting on Williams's
representatives to get back to them but the SBW camp will have to
decline the offer given the All Blacks play Ireland in New Zealand on
the same day.
Several media reports have linked Williams to a bout in
Cape Town recently and he is set to join Wallaby flyhalf
Quade Cooper in a Sevens tournament in South Africa in December.

LOS ANGELES - The No. 16 UCLA baseball team hosts UC Riverside in a non-conference game Tuesday night at Jackie Robinson Stadium. Game time is 6 p.m. The Bruins (8-3) have won their last six games entering Tuesday's game against the Highlanders.
Tuesday, March 6 - 6 p.m.
UC Riverside - Mitch Patito, RHP, Jr. (1-0, 2.70)
UCLA - Grant Watson, LHP, Fr. (2-0, 7.62)
LISTEN LIVE ONLINE (click here)
Each game of UCLA's home games will feature a live audio broadcast online, free of charge, at uclabruins.com. In addition, UCLA will broadcast select road games throughout the season. UCLA's John Ramey and Tim Wilhelm will have the call live from Jackie Robinson Stadium on Tuesday as the Bruins take on UC Riverside. In addition, fans can follow online through GameTracker, which provides pitch-by-pitch updates of the game in progress on uclabruins.com.
Tickets to UCLA home baseball games at Jackie Robinson Stadium cost $7 for adults and $5 for youth (ages 16 and under). Parking on the West L.A. VA Grounds costs $8. Jackie Robinson Stadium is located on Constitution Ave. just west of the 405 freeway and Sepulveda Blvd. The Bruins have played at Jackie Robinson Stadium since the ballpark's founding in 1981.
UCLA hosts UC Riverside on Tuesday night in the only meeting between the two programs this season. The Bruins enter this week's midweek matchup having won six consecutive games after sweeping a three-game series at home against Sacramento State over the weekend. UC Riverside has gone 4-7 through its first 11 games, most recently winning one of three games last weekend at Sam Houston State. UC Riverside defeated UCLA, 5-4, in 11 innings in the schools' only meeting last season at Riverside Sports Complex.
The Bruins have batted at a .330 clip during their current six-game win streak, while the pitching staff has limited the opposition to a .171 batting average in that span. UCLA has outscored its competitors by a 48-16 margin during the win streak. Jeff Gelalich leads UCLA's hitters during the win streak with a .579 batting average (11-for-19). The streak began after UCLA lost a series opener at home to Baylor, 15-3, on Friday, Feb. 24.
Jeff Gelalich has batted .462 with three home runs, 12 RBI and 14 runs in 11 games for the Bruins. Kevin Williams has hit at a .458 clip in nine games, totaling five RBI and four runs in 24 at-bats. Gelalich and Williams each had three hits in UCLA's 11-2 win over Sacramento State last Sunday. Gelalich finished that game going 3-for-3 with three RBI-doubles and two runs scored. One week ago, Gelalich was honored as the Pac-12 Player of the Week after batting .500 (7-for-14) in a win over Cal State Northridge and three games versus Baylor.
UCLA earned its first three-game series sweep of the season on Sunday with an 11-2 win over Sacramento State. The Bruins won on Friday, 5-2, before securing a 6-2 victory on Saturday. UCLA outscored the visiting Hornets, 22-6, in the series, batting .319 with seven doubles and a .412 on-base percentage. Jeff Gelalich went 5-for-8 with four doubles, five RBI, two runs and three walks, and Kevin Williams batted .545 (6-for-11).
Freshman left-hander Grant Watson will take the hill for the Bruins on Tuesday night against UC Riverside. Watson, who has started in each of UCLA's last two midweek games, enters this week's non-conference tilt with a 2-0 record and 7.62 ERA. Watson earned the win last Tuesday against Long Beach State, allowing one run and one hit in four predetermined innings. He has logged seven strikeouts and seven walks in 13.0 innings.
Following Tuesday's game against UC Riverside, the Bruins will prepare for a three-game non-conference series at No. 9 Georgia. UCLA faced the Bulldogs on a Friday night at Jackie Robinson Stadium last season (March 11) as part of the Dodgertown Classic. Georgia earned a 6-2 victory in what began as a fierce pitcher's duel between starters Alex Wood (Georgia) and Gerrit Cole (UCLA). Georgia broke a scoreless tie with a four-run seventh inning. Last season's game marked the first in the all-time series between the two baseball programs.
Saturday's game at Georgia will be televised live by Comcast/Charter Sports Southeast. The game will begin at 11 a.m. (PT)/2 p.m. (ET). For more information about CSS, visit the cable station's website at www.csssports.com. CSS is available through Comcast, Charter and other cable providers. The station is currently not available through Dish Network or DirecTV.
The Bruins' bullpen has combined for 38 appearances, logging a 3-1 record, 3.46 ERA and three saves in 39.0 combined innings. Ryan Deeter has pitched in nine of UCLA's 11 games, posting a 1.23 ERA in 7.1 innings while limiting the opposition to a .136 batting average. David Berg has nine strikeouts in 8.2 innings, having registered a 1-0 record and 2.08 ERA in six games. Scott Griggs has gone 1-0 with three saves and a 1.29 ERA.
Through the season's first three weeks, Pac-12 baseball programs have combined for an 86-39 record (.688 percentage). Ten of the conference's 11 teams have records above the .500 plateau, with Oregon and Stanford each leading the group at 10-1. UCLA is one of nine Pac-12 teams to have logged at least eight wins. Conference play begins in two weeks, as UCLA will host Arizona State at Jackie Robinson Stadium from March 16-18.
UCLA will play USC at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday, March 13, with first pitch slated for 6:30 p.m. Earlier that afternoon, UC Irvine will face Pepperdine at 2 p.m. The Dodgertown Classic began in 2010, with UCLA securing a 6-1 victory over USC before 14,588 fans. Last season, USC blanked the Bruins, 2-0. Tickets to this year's event cost $5 in advance (when purchased through UCLA's Central Ticket Office), or $12 when purchased on the day of the game. Parking at Dodger Stadium that day is free and concessions will be offered at a discounted price.

Mindless Behavior – Keep Her On The Low – MP3 Listen
Mindless Behavior is back! The urban boy band is ready to take on the charts again with their new single "Keep Her on the Low."
Is the group evolving or is it the same old same old?
Find out here:
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuWvvfbmVzk]
Lets start off with the positives. This track has a hot hook. Also it isn't that bad actually, but I feel like it is not a progression or anything. I just feel like if the group wants to continue to be viable they are going to have to step it up. Of course they hard for urban fangirl base is still going to be there. Also, there is more people in the group other than Prodigy. I will say that this has to be about best single tailored for radio so far. All in all, good stuff I suppose.

Fantastic! Liked it better than my Mom's fried chicken. Made it twice now and both times got raves from all the family and guests. I will make it this way always.
I think you meant "serve" instead of "sever"

(Note: This review previously ran during our TIFF coverage, and is rerunning again because the film opens this weekend. - ed)
What lies beneath the surface of life in a picturesque town, where mothers gather with their children at a neighborhood park, the town pool is the center of summer social life, and married couples lead what appear to be perfectly normal, happy lives with their families? What secrets hide beneath the facade of these seemingly idyllic lives? In Todd Field's Little Children, adapted with author Tom Perotta from his novel of the same name, people's lives intersect in unexpected and even dangerous ways, and nothing is quite as it seems.
Sarah (Kate Winslet) is a stay-at-home mom with an almost-PhD in English Lit. She is mired in deep unhappiness, almost an extended case of postpartum depression. Sarah chose to stay home with daughter Lucy, who is about three when we meet them, and she refuses to even consider child care; she's doing the stay-at-home mom thing, it seems, because it's the "right" thing to do, not because it's what she really wants. Sarah's depression and misery over the life she's found herself trapped in prevents her from really connecting with Lucy, this "unknowable little person" who is looking to her for love and nurturing. Sarah, to be blunt, is not good at the art of being a stay-at-home-mom -- and the other moms at the park let her know it in those subtle and insidious ways women use to attack each other.p>The highlight of the moms' day is the daily arrival of The Prom King, a handsome, stay-at-home dad who brings his young son to the park. None of them ever actually talk to him or make him feel welcome, of course; he just serves as the fodder for their repressed sexual fantasies. One day, on a dare from one of the other moms, Sarah starts talking to The Prom King, whose real name is Brad (Patrick Wilson). On a sudden impulse, Brad and Sarah share a hug, and then a quick kiss -- scandalizing the other moms, who thereafter ostracize Sarah. Sarah, on the other hand, finds herself feeling alive for the first time in a long time.
Sarah and her husband Richard (Gregg Edelman) are not happy. Richard has become obsessed with the website of "Slutty Kay", while Sarah resents the freedom Richard has to go to work while she stays home. She counts down the minutes until his arrival each day like beads on a rosary, so she can escape the house -- and the omnipresent guilt of her lack of connection with her daughter -- for her nightly fitness walk. Brad, meanwhile, is unhappily married to Kathy (Jennifer Connelly), a sharp, sexy, domineering documentary filmmaker who supports the family while Brad tries (and repeatedly fails) to pass the bar exam. He has developed a sort of impotence over his failure to pass the bar that affects every aspect of his life; Brad is a man emasculated, subject to the dictates of his bread-winning wife on whether he can have a cell phone or subscribe to a magazine. Inevitably, Brad and Sarah are drawn together, and find in each other the support and understanding they lack from their spouses.
This storyline is carefully interwoven with another bit of drama affecting the town: The recent release from prison of a sex offender, Ronnie Mcgorvey (Jackie Earle Haley), who has moved into the neighborhood with his elderly mother (Phyllis Somerville). Brad's friend Larry (Noah Emmerich), a retired cop, has formed a "concerned citizens" group of one and launched an all-out attack against Ronnie, plastering the neighborhood with fliers showing the parolee's face and harassing Ronnie and his mother at all hours of the night.
Field weaves his storylines together slowly, taking his time building the relationship between Sarah and Brad, and not letting us in on the driving force behind Larry's obsession with Ronnie until almost the end of the film. The most remarkable thing about Little Children, though, is the way Field and Haley manage to create a sympathetic character out of a sex offender, without ever glossing over the fact that there's something very wrong with him. The film touches intellectually on the issue of revealing the identities of released sex offenders, and the fine balance between one person's right to privacy and the collective right of the community to be protected. Ronnie mostly seems to accept his fate as the town pariah; there's something wrong with him he can't control, and he wishes he hadn't been let out of prison to begin with. His deeply dependent relationship with his mother, though, and her unwavering love for her son even though he's done some "bad things," helps show another side of this pedophile, and humanizes him in an unexpected way.
What rings so true about Little Children is that it captures a slice of life that could be from anywhere, especially in smaller towns where everyone knows everyone else's business -- or thinks they do. At its heart, this is a story about the way we judge others, the way others judge us, and the way we judge ourselves. The acting is top-notch: Connelly brings just enough warmth to her icily domineering character to make you understand Brad's inner conflict over his relationship with Sarah; it's not so much that he doesn't want to be with Kathy, he just wants to somehow have back the relationship he and Kathy had before he came to see himself as a failure. Wilson, a Tony-award winning stage actor who won accolades for his recent turn in Hard Candy, captures the irony of Brad's dilemma, faced by a lot of stay-at-home dads: Does not being the one who brings home the bacon make a man somehow less of a man?
Winslet really shines here, as a beautiful, intellectual woman who has somehow lost her way on the road of life's choices and doesn't know how to find her way back to herself. Sarah is a character a lot of women will relate to, especially women who have given up professional careers to take on the life of a stay-at-home mom. It's hard to capture the loss of self-hood that can accompany that choice, but Field has written a character that feels very real, and Winslet, perhaps calling on her own experiences balancing the call of career with the pull of motherhood, captures the feelings to absolute perfection.
With 2001's In the Bedroom, Field showed his innate understanding of the way relationships work, and captured the essence of unbridled grief. With Little Children, he explores loneliness, judgment, and what makes us who we really are. As in In the Bedroom, about two-thirds of the way through the film, you start to wonder just how Field is going to pull everything together -- and then he does so with a shattering intensity that has you holding your breath in awe and anticipation. The film is perfectly paced, beautifully drawn and expertly acted. Field has a knack for putting slivers of life under a microscope and showing us the sometimes uncomfortable aspects of ourselves and our own lives, and Little Children makes us look more deeply into our own lives and ponder what's really going on under the surface. And that -- the ability to reflect life back at the viewer -- is filmmaking at its best.

"Hey Mr. Market, That QE Monkey On Your Back Has You By The Throat"
Submitted by Charles Hugh-Smith of OfTwoMinds blog,
Mr. Market has one little problem: the Fed monkey on his back has a death-grip on his throat: "One hell of a price for you to get your kicks."
The other delusion of the pusher and the addict is that the endgame of addiction can be avoided. We all know the endgame of addiction; the 1970s rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd captured it very succinctly in their song Ooh That Smell:
Got a monkey on your back
Just one more fix, Lord, might do the trick
One hell of a price for you to get your kicks
Ooh, that smell
Can't you smell that smell?
Ooh, that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
- advertisements -
Fuck Bernanke Shalom
the addict is not only mr mkt
try tapped out consumers with their free money auto loans
try morgaged to hell consumers with their 4% rates
try every fucking corporation that has of any size or shape that has an income statement with interest expense at a quarter (at least)of where it should be
and so as the grinning tribal witch doctor sailed away from the small volcanic island the naked natives shook with fear as to what the gods wanted as they looked upon the smoking mountain top and wondered......
Charles, enduring analogy indeed. I posted the following on 15 April 2012.
The stock market is like an opiate addict begging his dealer for another fix. As the drug (stimulus) is administered, it offers an immediate rush and temporary relief from reality. The high from each dose, however, does not last quite as long as the previous one and eventually the addict must constantly be in a drugged state just to function at a "normal" level. Eventually the junkie crashes and bottom is reached, and it is only then that the healing can begin.
Great minds think alike. ;-p
Jim Sinclair is, and has been correct all along. Along with others. There is no rational, sane way the fed can exist QE. I cannot fathom how it could. The nanosecond it does, they will be front run by every HFT in the universe. Rates will rise, and the fed gov will indeed be broke paying simple interest, vice the 1% it's paying now. Once he went down this road, it was not a question of if, but when this shit would explode.
Buy gold. Bitchez.
buy ammo-lots of it
You can mark it on your calendars, ladies and gents. This is the beginning of the end game/next era/whatever. I know it looked like it would never happen, but it has finally started. Talk of continuing QE just failed for the first time. That goes down as "noteworthy" in my book.
Congratulations, you just lived through an historic event. Didn't feel a thing, did you? (Unless you were in bonds, esp. Treasuries)
I don't know why you act as if all of this is an accident when it is every bit as contrived as the march to war in Syria.
Simply put, the instant that QE was birthed, the arrival of this day was inescapable. What is being done now is to manage expectations, like the one you have here. Nothing noteworthy happened here today except they turned the page on the script.
To believe that "talk of QE failed for the first time" is to assume that talk of QE ever did anything in the first place, when in reality, the talk is merely the facade that provides plausibility for what really goes on.
Plato's "Allegory of the Cave" is a far better explanation than the idea that "markets reacted." Shadows may appear as substance, but as always, they mislead those who observe them.
Great posts. But is the combined mkt cap of the U.S. 10 & 5 year greater than that of the DJIA? Still, I think (hope) you're right about the beginning of the end. Age of Aquarius!
The United States uses drones for surveillance in some limited law enforcement situations, FBI Director Robert Mueller said on Wednesday, sparking additional debate about President Barack Obama's use of domestic surveillance.
Had Titos at happy hour, have since progressed to Glenfiddich12.
No hangover expected.
The Knack "Siamese Twins" says it best
He's on my back. He's on my back. He's on my back.
He's on my back. He's on my back. He's on my back.
Please cut me free
He's making me strange
The monkey and me
Sits on my back. Shits on my back. Piss on my back.
Sits on my back. Shits on my back. Piss on my back.
Kill it for me
It's time for a change
The monkey and me
Lyrics from eLyrics.net
You keep assuming that the FED is acting in a way that will harmonize and strengthen the markets and U.S. economy. Their mission statement is about as binding as the Constitution........
Perhaps Main Street, battered though it may be, will nonetheless outlast Wall Street.
"You know the key self-delusion of all addiction: I can stop any time I want."
Waaahhh!!!...gimme my debt binky!
QE Smack, precisely.
And the dealers don't want the supplier or the junky to quit.
You can't fix some (if any) fiscal problems with monetary policy. (But, you sure can goose a bubble in asset prices!)
Memo to "elite leadership": Includes Economists, Bureaucrats, Priests, Corporates, Judges, Politicians, Bankers and all that hangs off this structure and organization.
"Money" is the measure of the Social Order; the measure of man governed; the measure of mans' government.
From Ayn Rand on Money:
"Do you wish to know when that day is coming? Watch money. Money is the barometer of a society's virtue. When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by Compulsion --when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing --
when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors -- when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you -- when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming self-sacrifice -- you may know that your society is doomed. Money is so noble a medium that it does not compete with guns and it does not make terms with brutality. It will not permit a country to survive as half-property, half-loot."
-- Ayn Rand

Regarding your post, check out the following charts:
What's up with the fall-off in revenues in the second chart.
Is that Atlas, I see? Shrugging?
(PS, please note, these charts are supposed to be for all of the governments in the US: state, local, municipal, federal, etc.)
(PPSS, can anyone guess what happened in 1913?)
(PPPSSS, isn't a chart of government spending by politicians really just a chart of their power? If so, isn't that also then, necessarily, also just a chart of their corruption?)
Just for the record, I am definitely NOT a Keynesian parrot (perhaps more Dionysian), and if that little fucker was on my back, I'd make a quick, deft forward motion to flip him onto the pavement, cracking his skull, then just before thrusting my beak through his thorax I'd say: "well, Paul, this is indeed an honor -- I've always wanted to meet you ... I've got another prize for you ... No, no, this one's definitely not from Sweden . . ."
That would appear to be what the bond and stock "vigilantes" might eventually do, too. "Sell, Mortimer, Sell!"
Listened only for a minute before I couldn't take it anymore when CBS News led in tonight's news with the market dropped because in their words the economy was doing so good they would probably not need the Fed to proceed with as much QE. The only thing doing well is the psy ops program the news media is playing on the uninformed. It's really unfathomable the depths to which we've sunk intellectually in this country.
More like coming off a 12 months of speedballs.
The best, and the worst of a combined heroin/cocaine addiction.
Once you get rid of the nervous ticks.seizures,fits, and paranoia it only takes six months to start
sleeping again.
'And, you may never fully recover. (Or, so I read.)
I know it's extremely early, but is Krugman on death watch yet?
This bond money is'nt running to commodities.....yet.
Forget your lust, for the rich man's gold
All that you need, is in your soul,
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.
And be a simple, kind of man.
Oh be something, you love and understand.
Baby be a simple, kind of man.
Oh, won't you do this for me son,
If you can?
(Sorry mama.)
Don't look now but you got a little bernankeFEDjizz dripping out of your left ear where the "monkey" had his way with you.
Don't worry, it's water soluable.
This thread (and others) are eerily quiet. Its like zombies (or the NSA) have have taken over in the US. Have they, I don't know...you tell me?
They are all going to the "Meccarama"...http://www.newsday.com/news/world/new-mers-virus-spreads-easily-deadlier...
It's quiet. Too quiet...
Anticlimatic for some, and/or the calm before the storm?
So, in the game of blame, Who's the guilty party? The pusher or the addict?
Looks to me like they are both due for an "intervention"
Whenever I see a parrot, I feign back to "Polly", Jack Benny's parrot voiced by the immortal Mel Blanc. When he got pissed at Polly, he threatened to open the cage and give him a road map to San Capistrano and leave forever. Polly would then recant and behave.
Aren't we like that? We just take the monkey, er $$$$, and when we want to escape we just don't do it?

The Gloriana is to take to the waters today as the plans for the Queen's riverboat tour continue.
A 94ft wooden rowbarge, the Gloriana Royal will lead the special river pageant on June 3rd as more than 1,000 boats sail the River Thames in honour of the Queen's 60 years on the throne.
Built in a top secret location in West London, the boat was tested on water for the first time this week and has been designed to look like one of the crafts depicted in Canaletto's painting of an 18th century river pageant on the Thames.
The vessel will sail up the river with a total of 18 oarsman including Olympic rower Sir Steven Redgrave, with the Queen and Prince Philip following behind in The Spirit of Chartwell – a river cruiser that has been re-fitted for the big event.
Lord Sterling has played a key role in the river boat project and told the BBC the idea for the water pageant had been suggested by the Prince of Wales.
He also explained the building of the boat has been subject to a tight time scale in order not to disappoint those planning to watch the maritime spectacular.
"No-one's really built anything like this for 200 years and the way we've built it, it will last for 200 years if looked after," said Lord Sterling.
"This has been a huge project. Something of this type would normally take a year or so to do it but we've done it in far less."
People staying in central London hotels over the Diamond Jubilee weekend will be able to enjoy a number of special events in addition to the boat pageant including a special procession through the city by the Queen on Tuesday June 5th.
