SHERIDAN — Riding Saturday night at the Sheridan-Wyo-Rodeo is a rush for any cowboy or cowgirl who loves a packed grandstand of avid rodeo-goers who will whoop and holler until that last bull has stamped its way out of the arena. For a local kid, that Saturday night Sheridan-Wyo-Rodeo ride is a dream come true.
"I got drawn out here in Sheridan, so I didn't think I was going to be able to ride. Then they gave me a call a week before and said I got in Saturday night," bareback rider Devan Reilly said. "That's been one of my biggest dreams, to ride here in Sheridan Saturday night. I grew up in Sheridan, so I grew up with this rodeo, and it's been a dream come true. I had a blast on the horse, and the crowd really got into it, and that just makes it fun."
Reilly was known for his work on the gridiron and the wrestling mat at Sheridan High School, but even then, he wanted to ride bareback. He was Chris LeDoux fan and wanted to rodeo, but his dad encouraged him to let his body mature first.
On Saturday, Reilly posted a score of 74 on Polar Game, a 16-year-old horse that's been to a few rodeo finals, Reilly said. He knew he had a good horse when he straddled her in the chutes and she stood nice and still.
"You can tell when you get a more mature horse in the chutes. She just kind of stands there and stays kind of still and knows that what her job is she's getting ready to buck. If you get a colt, it kind of fishes around. She stood still in the chute, which got me really excited," Reilly said.
This is Reilly's third year rodeoing. After graduating from Sheridan High School, he called Casper College and asked if he could be on the team. He redshirted his freshman year, riding the spur board and practicing as much as he could. His sophomore year, he rode for Casper and ended up eighth in the region.
After graduating from Casper with a fire science degree in 2012, he hit a bunch of amateur rodeos that summer then began attending Gillette College to study to become an industrial electrician. He rode for Gillette and ended up third in the region this year, which qualified him for the College National Finals Rodeo.
At CNFR, Reilly got two re-rides and ended up riding six horses. He scored an 81 in the short go, the second highest score, and finished CNFR seventh in the nation.
"It's been a real blessed year," Reilly said. "I'm just having fun and thank my family and friends for supporting me. It's just been awesome."
Saturday night at the Sheridan-Wyo-Rodeo was kind to some and not-so-kind to others, proving to be an action-packed culmination of a rodeo that drew a more than a few of top competitors throughout the week.
Sheridan-Wyo-Rodeo Board President Zane Garstad credited those quality athletes as one reason for this year's rodeo growing yet again. The total payout for the 83rd go of rodeo in Sheridan was $290,500, up from about $279,000 last year, as the board continues to add more prize money.
"It was an awesome rodeo," Garstad said, thanking the community for supporting Sheridan's biggest event, pleased with how things went all the way from the four performances to the Native American powwow downtown Friday. "We had the star players in pro rodeo here in town and we can't ask for more than that," he said.
The rodeo sold out, as it usually does, Friday and Saturday. A bigger than usual crowd enjoyed a good show Wednesday, with a slightly smaller crowd Thursday. Garstad said final attendance numbers will be available later this week.
The competition was as good as ever, with high-octane, high-score bull rides Thursday and Friday.
"When the crowd boos an 81, that tells you how good a rodeo you're having," Garstad said.
Saturday evening began with a tribute to the heart and soul of rodeo: horses. A herd of horses pranced around the arena, soliciting the admiration of the crowd and setting the tone for the night. The respected saddle bronc horse, Turtle Dove, took his last lap around the arena as a rodeo horse, entering into retirement before a full Sheridan-Wyo-Rodeo crowd. Turtle Dove qualified for six national finals in his storied career.
The much loved World Champion Indian Relay Race kicked off the rodeo with three consolation rounds and a championship race. Curly Relay out of Garryowen, Mont., took the third consolation race, with jockey Clyde Jefferson pulling into a seven-length lead early in the relay. Coup Counter of the Crow Nation took first in the second consolation race, and DDXpress won the first consolation race.
The championship race pitted three Crow Nation teams against a Northern Cheyenne and Ogallala Lakota team. Early in the relay, Lynwood His Bad Horse pulled into the lead, making it appear that the Northern Cheyenne may get its first Indian Relay win on His Bad Horse's 16th birthday. But by the third lap, Charges Strong out of Garryowen, Mont., had snuck into the lead to win the race and take home the biggest portion of the $30,000 purse.
Going into the third lap, Ashton Old Elk, rider for Old Elk Relay out of Lodge Grass, Mont., sustained the most serious injury of the night. He was trampled by a competitor's horse and taken from the arena by ambulance. No information was available this morning regarding his condition.
Fast on the heels of the awards ceremony for the Indian Relay Race came bareback riding, with Sheridan's Reilly coming out of the shoot first.
Tilden Hooper out of Carthage, Texas, posted the top score of the night, but it wasn't enough to put him in the winnings with the highest score of the week being an 86 from Thursday.
Steer wrestling saw a couple Wyoming competitors with Payden Kime McIntyre out of Douglas and Dennis Hepp out of Kaycee making a go at getting their steers to the ground. Again, scores earlier in the week would take the top marks.
Steer roping Saturday was dominated entirely by Wyoming cowboys. Jay Pixley, who was born in Sheridan and now resides in Sundance, posted a 36.9 in three runs. Trent and Travis Mills out of Gillette brought a little sibling rivalry to the competition, with Trent scoring a time of 15.2 for a total of 63 over four rides. Travis posted a 12.21 for the run but his calf got loose, so he walked out with a no score.
It was thought that the saddle bronc competition may see a change in the leaderboard with its all-star lineup of several top 20 competitors, but a high score of 84 on Thursday couldn't be beat. Isaac Diaz out of Desdemona, Texas, and Taos Muncy out of Corona, N.M., tied for first Saturday with scores of 82. Muncy credited his score to drawing a good horse in Sacred Mountain.
"I was glad I got him rode. Every time you come to a nice rodeo, you have the chance to get on some good horses and a chance to win. I think I might have won some money, so it's not a bad day," Muncy said.
A time of 5.8 took first in team roping, but Miles Kobold from Big Horn and his partner Doug Cox out of Gillette were close behind with a time of 5.9. They finished fifth in the average and high on the payout list. Seth Hopper out of Stanfield, Ore., took the tie-down roping event in Saturday's go with a time of 8.9. The cowgirls in the barrel racing wowed the crowds with a tight race in the 17 to 18 second range. Shelby Frasier out of Dublin, Texas, rode to the top with a time of 17.36 seconds.
The last night of the Sheridan-Wyo-Rodeo swelled to a climax with bull riding. The twelve competitors had some tough scores to beat, though, with the highs of 89 posted Thursday and Friday. It proved an impossible task, but the event still wowed as two riders tied with a score of 85 for the night: Cody Campbell from Summerville, Ore., and Elliot Jacoby from Fredricksburg, Texas, both rode hard and were rewarded in their first time at the Sheridan-Wyo-Rodeo.
"I felt great," Campbell said. "The bull I got on was really nice. He stayed hooked the whole time around the left and just was a really good bull to have. This is a great rodeo; it's a lot of fun. The crowd is great. It seems like the committee is great. Everybody is behind the rodeo, which always helps. There's a lot of support, so it just makes it a great rodeo."
Campbell is eighth in the race for the world title right now, and Jacoby is sitting at fourth in the world and was named rookie of the year this year.
With bull riding wrapped up, the crowds left the stands satisfied with another great night of Sheridan-Wyo-Rodeo. For the cowboys and cowgirls, though, there's always another rodeo down the road.
"I just need to do what I did today: stay on, keep staying on bulls, and just take it day by day," Campbell said as he sat behind the chutes changing after his ride. He pulled out a clean pair of socks, unrolled them, and out came his wedding ring and Professional Bull Riders finals ring. He put his rings on his fingers, pulled on his socks and boots and walked away for another rodeo another day.

Sunchase IV - $50,000,000
Barnes Connally Beachfront Partnership
Development, Corpus Christi,
South Padre
Island, TX
Sunchase IV is a condominium project designed to enhance the views for the owners to enjoy the beauty of the South Padre Island Beach. The project was integrated with the natural environment to create an environmentally conscientious solution. The site planning involved working within the regulations of the Gulf of Mexico and the State of Texas. The layout carefully considered the placement of engineering systems to maximize the protection of the beach from hazardous waste. EPA guidelines were followed to insure the protection of the natural habitat for wildlife and marine life.
To provide as many magnificent full-side views as possible, the twin rectilinear wings are set at 90 degrees to each other, linked by a semicircular connection. Complementing this configuration, each of the floors stair-step back so that the roof of one residence becomes the sundeck or balcony of the one above. The overall effect is a monochromatic, minimalist expression of unexpected shape and deliberate function. Rather than attempt to mimic the inherent natural beauty of South Padre, the choice was to create an aesthetic, yet complementary, contrast.
Status: Built
Location: South Padre Island, TX, US

The first of more than 1,200 spring training games was played March 8, 1947. J. Knox Corbett III sat in the box seats with two ranking baseball titans. One owned the Yankees, another the Indians. He didn't know who they were.
Corbett was captivated by the big-league uniforms and by the larger-than-life men wearing them. Bob Feller here. Johnny Mize there.
"Do you realize that I was sitting in the same box seats with Del Webb, who owned the Yankees, and Bill Veeck, who owned the Indians?" Corbett says now, chuckling at the memory. "That didn't make any difference to me; I was there to see the baseball players."
It was the first spring training game ever played in Tucson. Hi Corbett, chairman of the Tucson Baseball Commission, wanted his grandson to be at the historic first game. But now, 63 years later, J. Knox Corbett III, is uncertain if he'll attend the last one.
"I've always had the baseball bug, but I don't know," he says. "Maybe I'll go see the last few innings. It's just sad. I think my grandfather would be deeply, deeply saddened."
Today is the Last Game. The baseball carnival is leaving town.
TEP is now effectively shuttered. The White Sox left in 2008. The Diamondbacks left Tuesday, and only 5,184 cared enough to attend. It is the most ruinous doubleheader in Tucson baseball history: TEP closes one day, Hi Corbett Field the next.
I thought back to the chilly February night in 1998 when 11, 298 squeezed into every seat at the glittering new spring training palace, TEP. The first pitch was delivered by 92-year-old Roy Drachman, the ranking giant of Tucson's business (and baseball) community, the last surviving link to those who brought spring training to Tucson in 1947.
"Let's hope we can go another 50 years," Drachman said that night. "We have built the best facility of its kind."
Drachman died in 2002. Big-league baseball dies today.
We can blame the demise of spring training baseball on a lot of people and a lot of things, but what's the point? It's too late to undo the damage and build the downtown complex that would have helped to change the identity of this motionless city.
It's more realistic to say that baseball changed and we didn't. No one in City Hall had the vision, or moxie, as Hi Corbett did in 1955, to establish a "Keep Cleveland in Tucson Project" thereby giving Tucson its only link to the big-leagues until Lute Olson came along.
The last person who could have saved spring training in Tucson was Jerry Colangelo, the czar of Phoenix sports, who was forced out of office in 2004. Once the Diamondbacks dumped Colangelo, Tucson lost its most powerful advocate.
The business people who run the White Sox, Rockies and Diamondbacks have no allegiance to anything but the bottom line. Colangelo, who worked on credit, was an idealistic, old-school baseball guy who liked the idea of training in a remote location, thereby whetting the appetite of his hometown fans for the regular season. That's the way it had been done for 100 years.
So much for tradition.
Once Colangelo was gone, Tucson got old real fast. The excuses were preposterous, but they were spoken with such great repetition that they became gospel.
It's too windy in Tucson.
Those periodic two-hour luxury coach rides to Phoenix, with Wi-Fi access and DVD capability, were too exhausting.
Tucson's night club action is too tame.
And you can lose your competitive edge by playing a few extra innings against the Rockies and their minor-leaguers.
None of that is true.
The real reason that Tucson lost spring training baseball is because TEP aged like a Hollywood starlet who spent too much time in the sun. And because no one in Pima County with casino money thought of building a better ballpark before the people in Phoenix did.
As recently as 1998, ex-White Sox assistant general manager Dan Evans said of TEP: "I would challenge anybody in our game to have a better facility. It has all the amenities of a big-league park and a cozy atmosphere."
On Tuesday, speaking to mlb.com, the D'backs' first manager, Buck Showalter, referred to the exit of spring training from TEP as "a waste."
"When that place opened," he said, "it was the Taj Mahal."
It is no longer the Taj anything. Five or 10 big-league clubs training in the greater Phoenix area moved into bigger and better facilities since Roy Drachman threw out that first pitch.
In 1988, the White Sox cajoled the people of Sarasota, Fla., to spend $8 million to re-do their spring training ballpark. The Tampa Tribune referred to it as "the Cadillac of spring training facilities."
Ten years later, Tucson built a better ballpark, and the White Sox vacated that Cadillac for a new and shiny model on Ajo Way.
It's the oldest dodge in baseball: If you build it, they will come.
Or go.

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) -- New Mexico's highest court on Thursday reinstated a workers' compensation claim brought by the widow of a tribal police officer who died a decade ago while rescuing a drowning boy from the Rio Grande.
The ruling by state Supreme Court is the latest twist in a long-running legal fight waged by the widow of Pojoaque Pueblo Police Officer Kevin Schultz, who was off-duty when he jumped into the river in northern New Mexico to save a 12-year-old boy in August 2002.
Despite the ruling, it's still not certain that the widow will receive any benefits. The case goes back to the state Court of Appeals to deal with an unresolved legal question.
Schultz, 44, was fishing near the small community of Pilar with a group of children from his church when the boy fell into the water. After pulling the boy from the river, Schultz collapsed in shallow water and drowned.
According to a medical examiner, Schultz may have hit his head on a rock and the injury could have incapacitated him.
Schultz's widow, Cheryl, unsuccessfully sought workers' compensation benefits for his death. A workers' compensation judge concluded in 2007 that her claim was filed too late and that her husband wasn't performing the duties of his job when he died.
The Court of Appeals then dismissed her appeal. However, the Supreme Court revived the case in 2010, ordering the appeals' judges to consider the widow's claim.
Cheryl Schultz lost again when the Court of Appeals concluded she had missed a deadline for filing for workers' compensation benefits.
The Supreme Court disagreed in its ruling Thursday, saying the claim will be allowed because delays were caused by Kevin Schultz's employer. The tribal police chief had assured the officer's widow that the department would take care of the workers' compensation paperwork, but that didn't happen.�
The justices said, "If an employee entitled to workers' compensation benefits fails to file a complaint or a claim within the limitation period because the conduct of the employer or insurer reasonably led the employee to believe compensation would be paid, then the employee has a reasonable time thereafter within which to file."
The case was ordered back again to the Court of Appeals, which must determine whether the officer died "within the course and scope of his employment."
Cheryl Schultz's lawyer did not immediately return a telephone message seeking comment.
Before working with Pojoaque police, Kevin Schultz was a deputy with the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Department.

Jennifer Lopez: I loved myself too much to stay with Marc Anthony
Jennifer Lopez has broken her silence over her shock split from
Marc Anthony by admitting she loved herself too much to stay in the relationship.
The three-times married diva spilled the beans by hinting she did all the dumping when they called it quits last month.
âI love myself enough to walk away from that now,â said the singer. âItâs not that I didnât love myself before,â she added.
âSometimes we donât realise we are compromising ourselves. To understand that a person is not good for you, or that person is not treating you in the right way, or that he is not doing the right thing for himself â if I stay, then I am not doing the right thing for me,â she said.
Despite her latest break, after seven years of marriage, the 42-year-old hasnât given up on love and is confident she can land yet another man.
âSometimes it doesnât work â and thatâs sad. But I remain an eternal optimist about love. I believe in love,â said the mother of twins.
âItâs still my biggest dream,â she said talking about her next man hunt.
âI am positive and determined to move forward with my life. I now look forward to new challenges. I feel strong.â
While Marc may have been a disappointing husband, J-Lo admits heâs a good salsa artist and will play a part in raising their three-year-olds, Max and Emme.
âI will always respect Marc as a singer and performer,â she told Americaâs Vanity Fair.
âWe actually work great together. He was always very supportive. Together we could make magic and we did.â

I've mentioned my wife's cross stitch business that she runs a few times on this blog, plus there's been a constant advertisement for the business in the sidebar of my blog. So I'm sure most of you are aware of the cool stuff she does. Well as fun as it has been running around the midwest for craft shows the past few years, my wife's finally ready to go big(ger) time with a brick and mortar shop of her own. It will be a combination of her stuff, awesome wholesale/consignment stuff she finds from weird and local sources, and classes/events centered around needlearts that the area is missing. It's gonna be freaking awesome!
The only issue with the awesome space we have (which is smack in the middle of downtown and 750 square feet with exposed brick on one wall and beautiful hardwood floors) is that they want the lease to begin to June, which is in exactly one month and a bit sooner that we initially expected. We can make it work, but a little crowdfunding would help, so she made an Indiegogo to support the cause, which can be found here: http://igg.me/at/thehoopandneedle/x/7342191
So there's two ways you can help:
1. Donating. Even donating at low as $10 gets you a perk, which here is pretty awesome. DMC, the main makers of floss for cross stitch, make 488 different colors of floss, and my wife is going to sell all 488 on a giant floss wall. For $10 you lay claim to the color of your choice, to be renamed with you. So if, say, Night Owl donated $10 to my wife's cause, he could forever make dark blue Night Owl blue. And people would come in to buy floss and ask for Night Owl blue. That's pretty cool IMHO...not a bad perk. There are bigger perks too, both material and immaterial (like feeling like you've done good in the world, man that's a nice perk lol).
2. Sharing. If you don't donate, which I understand, it'd be cool as heck if you could at least share my wife's campaign link in some fashion. Mention this blog post on your blog, tweet the link, post the link on Facebook, share it with your wife or husband, mention it to someone at work, shout it from the rooftops, tattoo it on your forehead...really whatever you feel comfortable with as long as word continues to get out. The goal we set is $2,000 but really we could use a lot more and the more we get the cooler this whole thing will be, so we need all the page views we can get!
In conclusion, thanks for reading this far, and if you help in any way, thank you thank you thank you! If you don't...well you're still cool for reading my blog, so I still heart you. Keep on keepin' on!

It was as if we were long lost friends finally reuniting.
I found my fiance on here about 2 months ago. I thought he was really good looking so I messaged him, which I was really nervous about doing because I have never been on anything like this. We started emailing back and forth, which led to texting. We decided to meet about 4 days after speaking. We agreed the Visitors Center at the Mesa Arizona Temple would be a good place. The minute that we saw each other, it was as if time stood still. Sounds super cheesy, but it's true. When we saw each other, it was as if we were long lost friends finally reuniting. We almost hugged! Too make the story a little shorter, we were engaged a week later! So things like this really do work! Just keep trying and keep you heart and your spirit in the right place and Heavenly Father will bless you!

Soccer star daddy David Beckham spent Friday afternoon (June 24) in Santa Monica, Calif. with his 8 ½-year-old son, Romeo. The handsome duo held hands as they crossed the street back to their car, after picking up a few things at Fred Segal.
Sporting a blue sweatband and a UCLA Soccer Camp t-shirt, it looks as though Romeo can't wait to follow in daddy's footsteps!
Romeo's brothers – 6-year-old Cruz and 12-year-old Brooklyn – weren't spotted on this particular outing. Perhaps they were at home with mama Victoria Beckham, who is expecting her first baby girl this summer!

This post is part of Marc H. Ellis's "Exile and the Prophetic" feature for Mondoweiss. To read the entire series visit the archive page.
So what if there was a Christmas tree at Auschwitz. That doesn't invalidate Christmas and its symbolism, does it?
Star of David helicopter gunships patrolling the Palestinian sky. That doesn't invalidate the Star of David so many Jews wear around their neck, does it?
I agree. It doesn't invalidate anything. It simply places violence and atrocity at the heart of that symbolism and what that symbolism points to.
At the heart of Christianity – and Islam – and Judaism – and modernity – is beauty and violence, a violence we partake in or suffer from.
All the religious symbols I know of are held hostage by their history of violence.
I include the symbolism that adorns modernity and our secular brethren who have their own variation of religion. Since Christianity has been severely disciplined over the centuries, losing – thank God – most of its temporal power, it is modernity and its symbolism that is called upon to justify itself. Like modernity's progress – and where it has taken us. Like modernity's technology – and where it has taken us. Like modernity's social organization – and where it has taken us.
This doesn't mean our modern salvation play is only bad, corrupt and murderous. Like Christianity and Islam, there are at least two sides to modernity's coin. Nor can we go back behind our various religions as if there's a way forward without them. There isn't.
The same with Judaism and Jewishness? You bet. How sad it is to see us join the parade of religions. There's no Jewish way back to a place of innocence.
Is there a way a forward? Does that way forward include reclaiming the rich and varied symbolism that what went before us?
If Christmas trees and Stars of David aren't 'innocuous,' are they redeemable? Is it worth trying to redeem the symbols of modernity, the truly great world religion to which every head bows?
Instead of trying to redeem these religions, the need is to establish a justice that forces them to place themselves in the broader stream of life. There they might find strength to look within themselves. What they'll find is violence. They might find the resources for healing, too.
Whatever the balance and however long it takes, to think that once involved in the cycle of violence and atrocity there is a place of innocence where all can begin again is the mistake of mistakes. It sets everyone up for a repetition, as if history has no lessons to teach or learn.
There's something more troubling than recognizing violence in what one holds so dear. Once a religion has enabled destruction and death the major force of that religion is always be prone to that way of being in the world. Understanding this, a dissident believer might think it better to abolish their religion than to risk a repeat performance.
Thus the arrival of Christians, Muslims and Jews of Conscience. Those of conscience have to walk their way through the religious symbolism that makes way for violence and destruction. Can we accomplish that walk separately, encased in our own failed religions, or only together, keeping our violating symbolism hidden away?
Whether we like it or not, the exile we feel, the exile we have to undertake – in order to right the course of our inheritance that won't be righted – that exile is permanent. It is more painful when Christian, Jewish and Muslim holyday symbolism is trotted out. Could there be anything more depressing than the holydays of Christmas, Yom Kippur and Ramadan for religious folks of conscience?
Religion's holydays are so hypocritical they defy the imagination. Christmas is among them, only to be outdone by Easter. Yom Kippur is among them, only to be outdone by Passover.
Can you imagine celebrating the salvation when that celebration means disaster for others? Christians do.
Can you imagine celebrating your liberation when you are oppressing another people? Jews do.
Can you imagine celebrating the computer and cell phone paraphernalia as the global warms and the seas rise? We do.
Steve Jobs. Our messiah?
The state of Israel. Our redemption?
If there's a way to redeem the Christmas season or any other religious season it would certainly be important to have a go at it. But, then, after all that reforming it might be exile all around.
Exile isn't easy. It takes patience and solidarity.
It may be too much to invoke the prophetic amid the Christmas trees that surround us.
Especially in the (un)Holy Land.

News is that Gov. Nikki Haley will appoint Representative Tim Scott to be the next Senator from South Carolina. Scott is an African-American and that will make him the centered target of rage from the very people who say that Republicans should stop being the "old white man" party. The fact is, they have a huge political stake in maintaining that false facade. Tremendous energy will be put into defeating and/or discrediting Scott precisely because he isn't white.

- For the Harmony of Dissonance stage, see Skeleton Cave (Harmony of Dissonance).
- "It is said that on a moonless night, many graves were opened, and many bones stolen. The stench of death rose up, and the empty eyes of a thousand skulls set themselves to seek yet more tombs to befoul. Such was the price of a temple built from the bones of the fallen."
- — In-game description.
The Skeleton Cave (葬送の骸窟 (そうそうのがいくつ) Sōsō no Gaikutsu, lit. "Skeleton Cave of Funeral") is a location in Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia.
The cave is a mysterious temple that was built by a horde of skeletons who rose from their graves one moonless night. It is filled with walking skeletons who regularly leave to rob more graves or kill victims to add more bones to the cave. It is unknown what possessed so many skeletons to rise and do such a thing, but the cave is ruled by the massive insect Maneater, who must use a large skull as a shell.
One thing to be noted is that some parts of the cave have the bones arranged in very decorative and creative ways, while others have them just in piles on the floor, implying some intelligent thought on behalf of the undead horde.
- George can be found in this stage after defeating the Maneater. A cutscene plays where Albus can be seen imprisoning him inside a crystal. After he escapes, George can then be rescued.

The first time I had this one I really enjoyed it but I felt I hadn't put in enough leaf, that the flavors weren't strong enough. I also brewed it fairly cool based on the instructions on their website, instead of where I would usually brew an oolong (especially a dark oolong). This time I'm pretty sure I have an appropriate amount of leaf, and a slightly hotter temperature, and also I've tried a lot more dark oolongs since this one, which was one of my first. I wanted to try this one again because thepuritea is having a 15% off sale right now until Nov 15 (use the code FALL), and I've been wanting to try some of their other teas (even though I really don't need more tea right now).
So! This is very floral for a dark oolong, which isn't surprising because it is scented with osamanthus flowers. The aroma I get from the steeped tea is dark and roasty, but with a definite sweet, floral note. I don't really get the stone fruit aromas they mention, but the florals are sweet enough smelling to almost be fruity. That sweetness doesn't carry over to the flavor/mouthfeel, which is actually more minerally (a character I'm starting to see in dark oolongs especially after having Verdant's Big Red Robe). There are some toasty firewood flavors, and I do pick up a bit of a unsweetened cocoa note (not chocolate, but actual unsweetened cocoa powder). The high notes at the back of the sip are floral with bit of fruit. Revisiting this one, I'm less taken with it than I initially was. It's still a very nice tea, and one of my favorite dark oolongs I've had, but I still don't totally adore dark oolongs in general.

We hate to spoil the idea men have about being the only ones that indulge in the visual pleasure of another's body, but we have to set the record straight: Women are checking you out.
Admittedly, you don't look as good naked as we do, but you still have a lot to admire. Broad shoulders, defined arms, a strong neck, lean torso, and calves that look like they were made to destroy soccer balls are among the few things we unabashedly size up and mentally catalog (maybe for later—we're not saying).
Also, we spend an inordinate amount of time talking about the discernible shape of a man's penis in sweatpants. Don't get all cocky about it, though.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – Ottawa County Democrats contend a plan to increase the state's renewable energy to 25 percent of total production is critical.
Doug Zylstra, county party vice chairman, said the group will support a ballot proposal that will give voters an opportunity to amend the state constitution to require utilities to generate at least 25 percent of their energy from clean sources by 2025.
Providers must also limit rate increases to a maximum of 1 percent per year while producing power from wind, solar, biomass or hydropower under the initiative.
"Moving to more clean, renewable energy will help make Michigan a leader in this field and help to diversify our economy," Zylstra said. "This proposal also has the advantage of helping reduce pollution in our air and water, which will improve the Great Lakes from Holland to Grand Haven and beyond."
The Michigan Energy Michigan Jobs group submitted 530,000 petition signatures last month to get the issue on the Nov. 6 general election ballot.
The idea is opposed by Consumers Power and DTE Energy, the state's largest utilities, who say they are still only halfway to getting to the 10 percent renewable generation that is required before 2015. That mandate comes from a 2008 law passed by the legislature.
Gov. Rick Snyder and several business organizations believe it best to hold off on more ambitious goals until reaching the first demand.

Council vacates street at request of university
In rugby terms, Wednesday night's victory at Grand Junction City Hall was a "try."
That is, the rugby teams of Colorado Mesa University will get a new field built on campus, now that the Grand Junction City Council approved vacating a portion of Cannell Avenue.
Councilors unanimously approved the university's request to vacate Cannell Avenue between Kennedy and Texas avenues in order for the school to continue with its development plans.
The area north of the future rugby field is slated for another residence hall to mirror Garfield Hall.
CMU President Tim Foster told councilors the process of closing a street typically stirs controversy, but this project has generated little protest by nearby residents during community meetings. The university owns or has demolished all of the homes in the area slated for expansion. Closing a portion of Elm Avenue to the east years ago to make room for the University Center and a parking garage was met with more protests than the current vacation request, Foster said.
Two residents who live in the neighborhoods west of CMU have filed letters opposing the vacation of a portion of Cannell Avenue, stating that a closed road would be inconvenient for them and not as safe to travel directly to the busier roadways of Seventh Street or North Avenue.
CMU officials have said they expect to begin construction on the new rugby field when students let out for the summer. It should be completed by next fall.
Members of CMU's women's rugby team testified to councilors that they currently must travel to play on a field in Orchard Mesa, on a field that is riddled with ruts and is difficult for fans to locate. The women's rugby team is currently rated the fifth-best in the nation.
"It will be really nice to have a set field to practice on," one rugby team member told councilors.

Amazing interview. Bosh is a class act even though people in Toronto dont want to admit it.
Amazing interview. Bosh is a class act even though people in Toronto dont want to admit it.
Great interview? He derailed the integrity of what he's saying as soon as he said, "It's going great in Miami". An athlete's professionalism cannot be encompassed by an 18 minute interview. One has to look at his body of work instead. I'm so over this dude. We all gotta move on.
The saving of our world from pending doom will come, not through the complacent adjustment of the conforming majority, but through the creative maladjustment of a nonconforming minority. - Martin Luther King
One interview doesn't make a man a "class act". He is a man who behaved like a small child and going to Miami has only exposed him as the soft player all of us in Toronto knew he was.
anyone can pretend to be classy for 18 minutes.
if you watch the making of "battlefield earth" it will convince you that it's the greatest science fiction epic of all time...
but it was a total piece of shit.
god, the haters just wanna hate. He didn't DO anything or SAY anything all that bad. The tweets were dumb, sure, he left, sure. He played his butt off last year and was the ONLY reason Toronto even had a shot at the playoffs. You can say he quit, you can say he was soft, not a franchise player etc. What you'll ignore is that he carried himself as professionally as possible while he was here, he didn't whine his way out of Southern Ontario, he said many more good things about the city and franchise than any other departing player (cable-gate not withstanding) and he put up record Raptor numbers surrounded by marginal players for most of his time here. Not once did the brass put a dynamic wing or a defensive post player beside him and not once did he complain.
I can understand some of the hate but most of it is pretty weak. He didn't VC the franchise, he didn't just bolt like Tmac and he didn't throw a hissy fit like Damon, Mrs. Christie or Antonio Davis.
I'm glad the CB4 era is over because we are finally on the mend and things are looking up. I don't blame Chris for leaving though, he gave BC all the chances in the world and BC didn't come through. Remember at his extension signing? He said it he was doing it to give himself options in case things didn't go well. Guess what? They weren't going anywhere! Get over it.
i dont like his face. until he changes it, i'm going to keep hating.
my brother threw a pterodactyl toy at my face and it poked me in the eye and has haunted me ever since.
i'm also afraid of men with perfectly groomed eyebrows, so i hate jarrett jack too.
and anyone who's not a raptor? screw them too. my favourite player in the league, KD, when he's in toronto, he can suck my gonads.
Antawn Jamison tried to change his face... with his elbow!
From the very begnning everyone said that CB4 was a great ambassador for Toronto. He brought respect from other players
Remember ten years ago players said I do not want to go to Toronto, The Whiner Carter left , then along came Bosh
and all said he was a gentleman which he is, was and always will be. Here is my argument that if he had been traded then
no-one would squawk most would cheer him when he returns, yet admitting basketball is a business to let Bosh go where he wants
now he is a criminal.
Bosh is not a five, he will never be a five, it is only because he can play the five so well they keep putting him there, so the Raps never ever gave him a good five to work with letting him be the four he is best at. You should never ask a four to take on Shaq, Garnett, Duncan, etc, .
They made him play the bigs every night and he did, without whining, I am a four not a five, give me a five to play with.
Miami is starting to play Bosh at the four with Ilgouskis at the five and now Bosh is scoring again.
I do not blame Bosh in any way shape or form for wanting to win a championship with his friends.
One could argue Bosh didn't come through either. BC put a variety of players around him and Bosh didn't come through. He certainly did not make anyone around him better. He was certainly not a franchise player.
I think your perspective is correct and I think the above perspective is correct with the truth somewhere in between.
At the end of the day, the Raptors were going nowhere with Bosh and Bosh obviously was not happy with his cable services.
I've never felt better about the Raptors moving forward - it just so happens to be without Bosh.
Bosh doesn't play for the Raptors anymore. A lot of irrelevant threads about a dude that is insignificant to the current team.
Franchise players are rare in this league, maybe 5-6 legitimate players you can say this about without debate, so while Bosh, Anthony, J.Johnson, Gasol, Randolph, Gay or Granger might not be considered franchsie players they are great players nevertheless and it isn't a negative.
Actually, the best player BC ever put beside Bosh was Garbo. Fuck I hate Al Jefferson.
Gasol prior to LAL (I'm assuming Pau), Johnson (prior to other all-star calibre players with him), Randolph and Gay (play together), and Granger are all good players who are not franchise players but are paid as such. With the exception of ATL (who were destroyed by ORL) and Gasol (prior to LAL, MEM did make the playoffs one year), none of the teams those players play on made the playoffs last year.
"BC did put a variety of players around him. The problem was the common theme surrounding these players was none of them were good."
Or was the problem Bosh wasn't good enough to make them better?
One could go around and round in circles on this and both arguments are correct to some degree IMO.
As I said before:
At the end of the day, the Raptors were going nowhere with Bosh and Bosh obviously was not happy with his cable services.
I've never felt better about the Raptors moving forward - it just so happens to be without Bosh.
I disagree with BC failing. I think his results failed the last 2 seasons but the creativity and willingness to make moves and then correct moves has been inspiring. The franchise is looking good moving forward - oh how I'd like a top SF thrown in there through the draft (T. Jones? P. Jones?).
Bosh is stupid. If you honestly think he did nothing wrong on his way out then you haven't been following closely. Anywhere near as bad as Lebron? No.
Even with his hair cut short he looks like a lesbian version of Ru-Paul.
Plus everything in his new $8 trillion home is in white. Only coke dealers and homos do that.
Eh follow my TWITTER!
Bosh is pure class. Here he is at a polo match in the Hamptons. It was reported later that day he attended a spinning class.
Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
I have been paying attention to everyone making a big deal about all kinds of bull shit: twitter, cable-gate, BC talkin ish like a nicer Dan Gilbert...

At the end of the month, voters choose which entries they liked best out of all submitted entries and a new winner is decided. Themes cannot be used twice in a row.
The Rules of the SOTM:
About the SOTM Entry Process:
Every month, a new entry thread is created. Each month's entry thread is a central spot meant to give contestants a chance to create and improve their entries as well as their skills, in addition to providing them a place to post their official submissions.
The thread is solely about helping contestants with entries, and as such these things will not be tolerated:Anyone disrupting the thread will be asked to take it privately, to the SOTM Generic Discussion Thread, or if the offense is severe enough - reported to the moderators.1. Nonconstructive and negative criticism (if you truly dislike something about an entry, be polite and helpful)
This Month's Entry Period::
This months entry period officially starts Sunday, February 1st, 2009 and lasts until Friday, February 20th, 2009. Entries will be gathered and put up for voting on Sunday, February 22nd, 2009. Voting will end on the following Sunday.

It is up to you as a contestant to know what your time zone is in relation to UTC/GMT. I cannot do this for you.
Here is a site that can help you figure that out: http://www.worldtimeserver.com/convert_time_in_UTC.aspx
Good luck to all contestants, and most importantly, have fun!!!
Using this sig as a stand-in until I'm able to find time to go render hunting ^^
May also use the same render, just redo the sig~
Wow! What a rather hard theme to make. :heh:
Looks like an interesting and fairly easy theme imo Ill try to get some free time to see what i can come up with.
I will be very busy this month.. I can spare some times for my collecting duty, but I probably wont be around playing in this thread much :(
Dancing? Why not a Valentine theme since its february??
Good theme though.
On a random note... why the banner still says SOTM 2008? O_o...
kind of a stand-in probably
ddr does count right? <<
Mayabe if you focus more body of the dancers it would catch more the theme ;)
well, this was the stock I usedhttp://i41.tinypic.com/23r4net.jpg
the hands were cut but I've watched this already and they were dancing :heh:
thought it was noticeable that they were dancing, I was wrong
maybe I'll find another stock :heh:
Anoo .. I'm confuse about border again :meh: .. which better ???
and because its nice and simple (stock+brush+gradient mask = doen :D) I actually have nothing to criticize about it. (lol)
If I did say anything it would be that the brushes you used first hit me as a semi light source. If you really want, you can try to adjust them to match the stocks shadows,or other way around using something simple like dodge and burn brushes (brush on right is overlaying guys left side shadow).
Though it also looks good the way it is because it flows. :D
The shadow/dark glow around the man might be too spread out. It actually looks like a feathered (brushed?) erase job thing but the problem is it came out rly wide (easiest way to fix would be to erase just a tiny bit off the edges of the dark areas to make them more contrasting and sharp in comparison to the background).
Also your render looks like it came out of a dark image while your signature looks to be bright. On the layer with you render (or just make a mask overlay if you can't do that) just adjust the exposure and saturation a little bit, even contrast and brightness might help with the touch up.
Its a good sig but the render has a rly dark theme to it that doesn't match the rest of your sig.
ReGARDLESS :D
new entry
theres also alot of spots I see that I know I can fix, but I'll take care of them later.
cc can nvr hurt :3
Come on tentacles, strangle that wanko!

Generic Drug User Fee Cover Sheet and Payment Information
The Generic Drug User Fee Amendments of 2012 authorizes FDA to assess and collect user fees for human generic drug applications, certain application supplements, and related manufacturers. Form FDA 3794, also known as the Generic Drug User Fee Cover Sheet or GDUFA Cover Sheet, is designed to collect the minimum necessary information to determine the total applicable user fee required and to help FDA track the user fee payments. Furthermore, FDA's review of a generic drug submission cannot begin until all relevant user fee obligations have been satisfied.
FDA issues clarifications for completing the GDUFA Cover Sheet by fee type. Please refer to the appropriate link below to obtain the clarification information. FDA will continue to make updates to these links as it identifies further information that will assist the generic drug industry in completing cover sheets.
When is the GDUFA Cover Sheet required?
The GDUFA Cover Sheet is required for each of the following human generic drug user fees:

- Generic drug facility which is identified or intended to be identified in at least one generic drug submission that is pending or approved to produce a finished dosage form (FDF) of a human generic drug or an API contained in a human generic drug; and
- Backlog ANDA which is pending on October 1, 2012, and that has not received a tentative approval prior to that date.
Note: A cover sheet is not required for all ANDA and PAS amendments. It is only applicable to an amendment that is adding API manufacturing information other than by reference to a Type II DMF which is subject to the Section 744B(a)(3)(F) fee under GDUFA.
How to fill out a GDUFA Cover Sheet?
Read the instructions below and then go to Create GDUFA Cover Sheet to fill out the form.

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
does the water drain perfectly fine at the end of the cycle and this water appears after a while?
Or is it left at the end of the cycle?
Are you there?
i have run the dishwasher a nu,ber of times now and the water is present immediately after the cycle is finished.
That means it's not draining fully, this is a software problem with the unit
If it's not a major issue with the cycle (meaning dishes come clean) I would wait until there is something else that goes wrong before changing the board
There could be more issues, it may do this for years with no new issues

FA Trophy: Canvey Island 0, Wroxham 0
PUBLISHED: 16:46 01 October 2012
Wroxham earned a replay against Canvey Island at Trafford Park tomorrow night after a hard-fought draw against the Ryman Premier Division side on Saturday.
The Yachtsmen welcomed back long serving goalkeeper Scott Howie for his first game of the season and his goal was immediately under pressure as the hosts dominated the early stages.
Wroxham began to get a grip on the game and on 20 minutes Ben Thompson had the ball in the net for the visitors, but his effort was ruled out for offside.
Angelo Harrop and Matt Blake saw shots go wide for the Yachtsmen, while Howie was called upon to dive at the feet of oncoming Canvey attackers before saving Ashley Miller's shot in the 40th minute.
The first half remained goalless, but after the break Canvey once again emerged with all guns blazing.
James Hawes shot narrowly wide for Canvey, while Howie saved from Curran and home skipper Rickie Hayles headed over.
Wroxham had two good chances to go ahead with around 20 minutes remaining. Remy Gordon found himself clear in the Canvey area, but his weak shot was straight at the keeper, before Ben Jones miskicked in front of goal.
Substitute Danny Heale should have won it for Canvey but he fired wide from close range as Wroxham held on to take the tie back to Norfolk.
Manager David Batch said: "I was pleased for our players, as they executed their roles really well for the majority of the game.
"For a village club like ours to get non-league giants Canvey Island, who must be expecting promotion into the Conference this season with a Football League manager (Steve Tilson) at the helm, getting back to ours for a replay is a good start."
• Canvey Island: Jones, Miller, Dumas, Dobinson, Hayles (capt), Orlo, Gordon, Hawes, Hart, Curran, Chatting. Subs: Blackwell, Heale, Edgar, Mason, Foster.
• Wroxham: Howie, Self, Gordon, Carus, McNeil, Hipperson, Halliday, Lemmon (capt), Thompson, Blake, Harrop. Subs: Jones, Eastaugh, Speller, Durrant, Starking.

Ondine HD Featurette Colin Farrell
www.ondinefilm.com ONDINE is the story of Syracuse, a simple fisherman who catches a beautiful and mysterious woman in his trawler's nets. The woman seems to be dead, but then she comes alive before Syracuse's eyes and he thinks he may be seeing things. However, with the help of his ailing, yet irrepressible daughter, Annie, he comes to believe that the fantastical might be possible and that the woman (Ondine) might be a myth come true. Ondine and Syracuse fall passionately in love, but just as we think the fairytale might go on forever, the real world intercedes. Then, after a terrible car crash and the return of a dark and violent figure from Ondine's past, hope eventually prevails and a new beginning is presented to Syracuse, Ondine and Annie.

[UPDATE With Video!] Poke, Poke and More Poke at the I Love Poke Festival & Competition in Huntington Beach
Poke from Stadium Brewing Co. in Aliso Viejo.
Christopher Victorio/OC Weekly
UPDATE, APRIL 14, 2011, 2:40 P.M.: We've got a neat video covering the I Love Poke Fest! Check it out after the jump.
ORIGINAL POST, APRIL 14, 2011, 11:30 A.M.: Tuesday night, we checked out the I Love Poke Festival & Competition, the first event of its kind in OC, and suddenly entered a Hawaiian food paradise. Overtaking Don the Beachcomber in Huntington Beach, a festive tiki restaurant where manmade waterfalls and mai tais flow, the event swarmed with about 450 hungry guests--many dressed to the part in Hawaiian duds--all downing cupfuls of fresh poke, an island staple traditionally made with raw ahi tuna diced into small cubes and marinated in soy sauce, inamona (roasted crushed candlenut), sesame oil, onions, seaweed and sea salt.
My favorites of the night:
- The Nairagi & Tako Poke from Tommy Bahama's Island Grille in Newport Beach (which was competing its OC sister restaurant, Tommy Bahama Laguna Beach Bar & Grill). The uni cream and ogo seaweed perfectly complemented the bits of nairagi (stripped marlin) and tako (octopus).
- A salmon poke by Chef Harris of Royal Hawaiian in Laguna Beach--an inventive mix of sake (salmon), fennel, red onion, macadamia nuts, yuzu and soy truffle vinaigrette. Decadent, yet refreshing.
- A super-spicy poke by Chef Renato Sampaga of Stadium Brewing Co. in Aliso Viejo, made with ahi tuna in a sake reduction, balsamic reduction and a homemade habanero sauce. For an extra kick, jalapeño sauce was on hand.
Tsunami Sushi in Huntington Beach brought poke made with big eye tuna that's been marinated in sugar cane and pineapple juice.

More than a third (37 percent) of adult and 60 percent of teenage smartphone owners claim they are 'highly addicted' to their handset, says Ofcom.
According to the regulator's latest Communications Market Report, 27 percent of adults and 47 percent of teens own a smartphone, with 59 percent of those teens admitting they were given or purchased their smartphone within the last 12 months.
Furthermore, handsets are more often to used make calls then send texts while nearly a quarter (23 percent) of teens says they watch less telly and 15 percent claim to read less books, both as a result of their smartphone.
More than four in five (81 percent) of smartphone owners say their handset is switched on all the time and four in ten adults (38 percent) and teens (40 percent) say they use a smartphone after it has woken them up during sleep. More than half (51 percent) of adults and (65 percent) of teenagers say they have used their smartphone while socialising with others, while 23 percent of adults and 34 percent of teens admit to using their mobile phone during a meal. Furthermore, 22 percent of adults and 47 percent of teens claimed to have answered a call on the handset while using the toilet.
In true rebellious style, more teens (27 percent) than adults (18 percent) have also admitted to using their smartphone in a location where it should be switched off such as the cinema or a library.
Three in ten (30 percent) of smartphone users can they regularly take personal calls during working hours but 70 percent admit to having taken works calls while on annual leave.
Just under half (47 percent) of adult smartphone users have downloaded an app while more teens (38 percent) than adults (25 percent) have paid for an app. Games are the most popular apps followed by music-based apps.
Over a quarter (28 percent) of Brits said they had accessed the web from a smartphone during 2011 compared to 22 percent in 2010. Of these, more than half (57 percent) use their handset to visit social networking sites, making it the most popular net-based mobile activity ahead of sending/receiving emails (53 percent).
The Communications Market Report also one in seven homes in the UK are mobile only and 76 percent have internet access compared to just a quarter in 2000. However, while nine in ten adults (90 percent) aged 35 to 44 have access to the web at home, this falls to just 26 percent of over 75s.
Furthermore, 500,000 UK homes have superfast broadband with a headline speed of 30Mbps or higher, that's five times more than in 2010. Of those with superfast broadband, four in five (80 percent) say they're 'satisfied' with the service and a third claim the download speeds have exceeded their expectations.
"Ofcom's 2011 Communications Market Report shows the influence that communications technology now has on our daily lives, and on the way we behave and communicate with each other," said the regulator's director of research, James Thickett.
"Our research into the use of smartphones, in particular, reveals how quickly people become reliant on new technology, to the point of feeling 'addicted'."

Families Ordered to Send Their Children to School
By Willi Villiger
Two Swiss homeschool families wanted to challenge the judgments of subordinate administrative courts that had previously ruled against them and denied them the option of private education for their children. Both families—from the cantons of St. Gallen and Zurich—recently appealed to the Federal Court. This is the highest court in Switzerland. Sadly, the Federal Court also ruled against the families. In the case of the Zurich family, the court even criticized the cantonal legislation as too liberal. The main argument of the critique concerned homeschoolers' so-called lack of socialization. The court stated that as long as children grow and learn only within the family, the principle of equal opportunities is not guaranteed—yet these opportunities are required by the Swiss Constitution. The court asserted that compulsory schooling requires not only equal education for all, but also the same level of socialization for all students.
This strikes a hard blow to the freedom of education in Switzerland. However, as education is regulated at the cantonal level, we do not yet know what impact the ruling will have among the twenty-six cantons. We expect that some cantons will still retain very liberal homeschool legislation, but cantonal politicians who seek to tighten laws will now be able to easily rely on this ruling by the Federal Court.
The canton of Zurich has particularly sought to restrict homeschooling. Following the Federal Court ruling, the situation in Zurich is worsening. The five homeschool families who remain in Zurich have been given a 20-day period to appeal the Federal Court's ruling. However, in the meantime, the authorities have asked the families to send their children to school now. In reality, the appeal is only a temporary reprieve; all of the legal options are exhausted. Yet each of the five families are Christians, and they are determined not to send their children to school.
In Switzerland, there is the possibility for direct democracy. Whenever a group gathers 100,000 signatures for a bill, they can force a public vote on an issue. However, it is very uncertain if we could currently win a majority in a vote for the parental right to direct the education of one's children.
Switzerland has seven million inhabitants, and there are currently approximately 400 children taught privately. The first families began homeschooling in the late 1990s, and since then, the number of homeschooling families has since risen steadily. In the beginning of the movement, most of the home educators were Christians; the majority of families in the Swiss homeschool community now are secular families. Despite the poor legal prospects and rulings such as the one from the Federal Court, the Homeschool Association of Switzerland has drawn over 40 new members this year.
Willi Villiger is a Board Member of Bildung zu Hause Schweiz (the Homeschool Association of Switzerland).

AT&T's decision to drop its $39 billion planned purchase of smaller rival T-Mobile USA is being cheered by consumer groups and government officials, who say more - not less - competition in the cell phone business is needed.
"[This] is good news for consumers," Parul Desai, policy counsel for Consumers Union, told ABCNews. "It keeps four competitors in the market rather than allowing the wireless industry to move towards a "duopoly.'"
"As you move towards duopoly, there is less choice and ultimately higher prices for consumers," she added.
AT&T decided to pull its plans for the purchase after objections from the Department of Justice and the Federal Communications Commission on competitive grounds. Deutsche Telekom, the owner of T-Mobile, will get a $3 billion break-up fee and $1 billion worth of airwaves from AT&T, the second-largest US carrier behind Verizon Wireless.
"The FCC is committed to ensuring a competitive mobile marketplace that drives innovation and investment, creates jobs and benefits consumers," FCC chairman Julius Genachowski said in a statement.
"This deal would have done the opposite. The U.S. mobile industry leads the world in mobile innovation, and we agree with AT&T that Congress should pass incentive auction legislation that will unleash new spectrum for mobile broadband," said Genachowski.
In April, Consumer Reports did an analysis that discovered T-Mobile customers typically pay $15 to $50 less each month for comparable plans. For a year, or 12 months, that's a savings of $600.
The attorney general's office called the decision to keep a low-cost competitor in the market a victory for Americans.
"This result is a victory for the millions of Americans who use mobile wireless telecommunications services," Deputy U.S. Attorney General James Cole said, according to the Associated Press. "A significant competitor remains in the marketplace and consumers will benefit from a quick resolution."
When it comes to prices, AT&T and Verizon don't compete, said Desai. "If you knock out a low-cost competitor there is no incentive for [AT&T and Verizon] to lower prices, and it makes it harder for the third company to compete," said Desai.
Sprint-Nextel, a competitor, and the company likely to suffer the most from the merger, applauded the FCC and the DOJ. In statement, Vonya McCann stated, "We look forward to competing fiercely in the robust, competitive market that exists today and continuing to deliver the world class service and products that consumers have come to expect from Sprint."

Discussion in 'College Football & the NFL Draft' started by badboy, Mar 12, 2008.
Groves, Jason Boone,talib and others.http://www.nfldraftscout.com/news/notes.php
I had no idea DeSean Jackson weighed just 169 lbs. That's crazy.
his weight is a concern & probably affects his draft board rankings to alot of NFL teams however in the right situation he will be virtually uncoverable for a LB causing mis-matches & big scoring plays.
I'd guess you'd have to put him in the slot and then try to find ways to keep him from getting killed by the LB's and safeties that can't cover him.
Works for Welker

Is there an online creator available for them so I can create one and paste it into the mysql table?
