U guys make the best knives, sig and Emerson daily carry, I walk with confidence during these dark days, god bless America
JS – Emerson Commander
My name is JS and I am a Police Officer. I have recently purchased a Emerson Commander and I have to say that I am now a life long customer. I have numerous Benchmades, Kershaws, and Esee knives. Out of all of those the Emerson is the knife that keeps getting carried in my pocket and used daily. I have done some research online and found in some of the forums, there has been some bashing on the stance that Mr. Emerson has on fit and finish. I personally have to say that the bashing is just a bunch of haters that don't understand a quality knife. The more I use this knife, the more I like it! Thanks for putting out a wonderful knife. My only complaint is there should be a warning label on the box that buying a Emerson can be addicting.
RB – Commander
Greetings to all you good folks at Emerson Knives. I'm contacting you to let you know how pleased I've been with the Commander that was shipped to me on 06/22/1998. I've been in law enforcement, let's just say for quite a number of years. This Commander, serial #*** has been a vital tool and has been on my side since the day I received it. I've used it to cut victims free from seat belts due to car crashes, been with me on SWAT callouts and along with my other duties as a patrol officer. Although this knife or should I say tool, is still in very good condition, I want to place it away for safekeeping. When I received this knife Mr. Emerson was kind enough to send me a personal note thanking me for letting all of you be of service to me. The thanks should go out to all of you for the quality of knives that operators in the field can rely on. I have a nephew who just received his captain bars in the US Army and has done some work with special operations. Before he shipped out on a deployment sometime ago I presented him one of my Emerson knives. He was looking hard at my Commander but was quickly told don't even think about it. He brings up to me how pleased he is with the Emerson knife I gave to him. I'm now with the detective division as an investigator but I still carry that Commander with me. I am going to order soon another Commander soon to replace my Commander serial # *** as stated before, I want to preserve it along with the note I received from Mr. Emerson. I would in the future, would like to meet Mr. Emerson at one of his seminars and shake his hand for the patriot his is and the service he has provided to the many he has touched. I tried to make it to Atlanta this past year to catch his seminar but due to other duties was unable to do so. Thanks to all of you again for all your service and my best regards.
J.H. – My karambit
Dear Mr. Emerson (and Company),
I am extraordinarily impressed with the recent warranty work which was performed on my Emerson Combat Karambit (serial number ***). As a martial artist who had studied Indonesian and Filipino martial arts and the Karambit long before they were "cool" and "in," I had long wanted a folding Karambit of high quality. When, as an FBI Special Agent in the Southwest, I saw the photo of the Combat Karambit prototype on the cover of a knife magazine, I knew I had to get one. I contacted your company and was eventually able to coordinate an order, at a substantial law enforcement discount, for over $1,500.00 in knives (enough to supply some fellow agents who were studying ***** with me with karambits along with two for my personal use). I was very impressed by the fact that you and your company were willing to sell these knives, which were only beginning to be produced at the time and which could easily command a premium over retail price, at a discount as a service to law enforcement. I have kept number *** pristine in its box, as a replacement for ***, should it ever break or be lost during an operation.
I carried and used (serial number)*** for several years. The knife did not do much cutting, but it was constantly opened and used in training and demonstrations. I lost count of the local, state, and federal law enforcement personnel who asked to see the knife and then asked to see how it was used. It was a companion on many a late night/early morning operation in the desert. I trained with it during long surveillance operations (when I had neglected to bring a training blade with me). After years of quick deployments, some kinetic openings, and the like, the lock up of the knife was no longer the rock solid standard displayed by Emerson Knives. With moderate pressure on the spine, the liner lock would begin to slip, though it never fully unlocked. Considering the kinetic opening, quick deployments, and years of use that this knife had seen, I considered this normal. All things wear, and I had not been exactly nice to this particular lock. If you wish to see some of the things I did with the knife, there is some video of me using a (non-Emerson) ******** Karambit on my website, though the ********, unless tuned quite a bit, does not open kinetically and has not been used to near the degree that is the case of (serial number) *** (one of the reasons that I did not use an Emerson Combat Karambit for a demonstration on my website is that Mr. Emerson has demonstration videos of his own on the web and I did not want to detract from his training videos or imply that I was associated with his training program).
I sent my Combat Karambit with a $12.00 check to cover postage and handling, as stipulated on your website, and a letter explaining that I did not believe that this knife would be covered under warranty, as the problem with the lock was caused not by defects in workmanship or materials, but by wear cased by lots of use. I asked that I be contacted with the price of the repair so that I could provide a credit card number to cover the repair cost. Instead of being contacted by the Emerson Warranty Department, I was surprised to see a box from Emerson Knives appear at my front door approximately a week after I had sent in my knife. The lock had been repaired and the pivot pin had been replaced. Lockup of the knife is rock solid again and I did not think that I could be pleased.
When I searched through the rest of the box and discovered my $12.00 check, an invoice that said "No charge," two Emerson Knives catalogs, and two Emerson Knives decals, I was taken aback. Standing behind a product is one thing, but eating the postage charge on the return of the knife was beyond good customer service. Thank you very much for the work done on my knife, for continuing to make great products, and for your assistance to law enforcement. The catalogs did present me with a difficulty or two. I know that my next Emerson will be the Karambit Fixed Blade (I will probably be calling your company soon for a direct sale), but, after looking at the catalog, I can't decide between the CQC-15 and the HD-7 as a follow up purchase, and the CQC-13 and the "Snubby" CQC-14 are looking pretty good too. Did I mention that I love the Tomahawk?
Once again, thank you.
wave shaped feature
In approximately 1999 I purchased the Commander manufactured by your company. While I loved the ergonomics and the "wave shaped feature", I always thought of it more as a weapon than a tool due to the edge grind. A one trick pony, so to speak.
Then, I got rear-ended in a car accident several years ago. While I wasn't hurt (seatbelts are your friend. . . )half of my car's bumper was hanging off the rear end of my car. The car was a 1998 Ford Escort, and the bumper was made of plastic.
While drivable otherwise, the bumper was going to cause significant problems on the road if it was dragging behind the car. . .so, I decided that it had to come off. Lacking any other tools to do the job on sight, I drew my commander and went at the job.
Ten minutes later, to the amused look of the other driver I folded up the knife, threw my half of a bumper into my car's trunk and got her insurance information and drove home.
The car went to the body shop for a few days. The knife got sharpened for a few minutes.
I guess the knife was more versatile than I believed.
I am not one of the high risk professionals your knives were designed for, I am not a soldier oversees, or a cop. I am only 19, but I was quickly able to grasp how well an Emerson knife would operate in the wilderness. I fully attribute me being able to write this letter to my CQC-7. On what was supposed to be a 2 day rafting trip in Colorado I hit a bump and flew out of my raft at a very essential fork in the river, left would send us over a waterfall, while right was where we wanted to go. Needless to say I got swept over a small waterfall with no pack, no supplies, and no way to contact anyone. I had only a Surefire flashlight and my CQC-7.
I lived off the land and my Emerson Knife for 7 days, making spears to catch fish, and cutting line and setting snares before trying to cross a river on a down tree, falling back into the river and drifting past a road. Although I lost both of my two pieces of equipment I wholeheartedly recommend these knives to anyone whether they are journeying to Colorado or Iraq. Emerson Knives set forth a whole new standard for folding knives. You can bet your life I'll be bringing another Emerson into the backcountry on my next trip (Don't worry there won't be any rafts involved) as soon as I buy another. Thank you Emerson Knives, I will recommend your knives to all I meet in the backcountry.
I've got an older CQC-7. After extensive use and misuse, it is getting to the point where I need a new blade. Nothing wrong with the rest of the knife. I must say that this knife was made with me in mind. I'm a serious abuser of knives.
I bought this after a (non Emerson) linerlock closed on my hand and I got sewed up. Lifetime warranty, HAH! I threw it in the trash and went to the local police supply guy and told him what happened. He turned me on to the CQC-7. I told him that I never wanted to see another linerlock knife, but he assured me that I wouldn't break this one.
I'm a stacktester by trade, one of those guys who climb up smokestacks for a living. I need a knife that I can open with one hand so I can deal with ropes and other things that can drag me over the edge and toward certain death. This is, hands down, the best knife I have ever owned. I've been through one (non Emerson), two (non Emerson) and a couple of (non Emerson) autos over the last 10 years. The Emerson has lasted me about the last 7.
Some of the things I've done to this knife include using it as a reamer, a prybar, bottle opener, a scraper, and everything else you are not supposed to do to knives. Once, I pounded it into a pole with a hammer to use it as a step. I pounded it through a 55-gallon drum, then used a hammer to chisel it in half to make a fire ring once. I guess that's when I discovered how truly tough this thing was, it was open season with the hammer and the knife. A Swiss Army knife has few uses compared to what I've come up with for this thing.
Surprisingly enough, I managed to sharpen it over and over again. Sometimes I had to start with a belt sander because the steel was so tough it would have taken me days to sharpen with a stone.
At this point, I need either a new blade, or a new knife. I am truly amazed how well the rest of the knife has held up. The only reason I would like a new blade is because I've sharpened the old one so many times, it is noticeably smaller than it was when it was new.
I'm glad to see that these knives are still being made. If I was a normal knife owner, it would surely have lasted my lifetime. I got kind of nervous when the guy at the mall in Portland said that it was a limited edition and was no longer being made.
"It is with great honor that I write and introduce myself. I am one of your new customers to your company. For a long time, I have been using [other knife company's] products in M2 steel, but after an introduction to your handcrafted products, I have selected your products as our standard carry for our Emergency Response Team in the Dallas area. Our team is a hand-selected group of Paramedics, SWAT team members, Assistant Fire Chiefs, communication specialists and even one member of the Secret Service. We provide unique specialized services and equipment to local municipalities in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area when they are overcome with demand for resources during all types of disasters. We specialize in maintaining the unusual products that are hard to come by in times of dire emergencies. Our group is based on the principles of the Good Samaritan and we do not charge for our services.
I wanted to personally thank you for committing yourself to manufacturing such great products. I especially like your modifications to the CQC-7A and B. They are so much better than the "other" products. I have also been very impressed with your Commander and its smooth action to open and close. I have just ordered an additional Commander and the new SARK for our team to carry."
Knife Show
"I purchased the enclosed pocketknife from Mr. Emerson at the Solvang Knife show in April. I want to let you know that this is about the best production utility pocketknife I have EVER owned and carried, and I have been collecting knives for about 27 years now, and own custom and production knives made by some of the best knife makers out there. I can't wait until I can purchase one of your handmades!!!
Thank you in advance for getting my knife back to me in good shape."
B.D. – Thank you!
Two days later I was taking the knife over to show a friend. It was in the evening and he lives in an apartment with a poorly lighted parking lot. As I was walking across the lot I was playing with the knife. Poor tactics on my part, I admit, to be caught out in the open like that. I look up to see two guys coming my way. The only time outside of the military I have been faced with a bad situation. I angled for the only light in the lot and turned to face the two just as I reached it. Just as I turned they were within 15 feet of me. I had kept the knife behind my leg, but now brought it up and snapped it open with the biggest pop I could get out of it. I held it sideways in the light for the most effect possible. It must have looked like 6 feet long. Both almost imploded themselves, stopping as fast as they did. Not a word was said. I backed away as they stood there looking at that knife.
I now eat, sleep, shave and go everywhere with that knife. My wife thinks I'm having an affair. That's OK. Someday maybe she will understand." Thanks for the good work.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc, the 2009 Pape Clement is not as dense or provocative as the 2005, but it is a worthy competitor. Tighter and more muscular than the 2005, the 2009 reveals an opaque purple color along with notes of graphite, blueberries, and..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The opaque purple-hued 2006- only 40% of the crop made it into the final blend- exhibits a personality that mimics the superb 1996. Classic aromas of sweet black raspberries, kirsch, cassis, and subtle toasty oak are followed by a full-bodied, concentrated wine displaying moderately high tannin...
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The blend for the 2009 Pichon Lalande is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, somewhat unusual at this estate which usually has more Merlot in the blend. As stated previously, the Cabernet Sauvignon reached levels of ripeness and intensity of flavor in 2009 never seen before in Bordeaux! The final..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Initially the wine is all firm tannins, but then there is a pure line of fresh black fruits that comes through, with cranberry tannins and blackberry jamminess. Above it all, is succulent richness and clear acidity. A beautifully shaped wine."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Seven years ago I said this was a monumental wine, and at two different recent tastings, it was a true star of the vintage. Its stunning dark plum color offers up notes of caramelized red and black fruits, toffee, smoke, Asian plum sauce, sweet cherries, chocolate, and espresso. Its spectacular..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Stephan von Neipperg's tiny jewel of a vineyard 12 acres produces the ultimate garage wine from 50-year old vines. A candidate for the wine of the vintage, this blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc is a big, concentrated effort of extraordinary intensity and richness. A sensational bouquet..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2006 Pavie, a blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, is cropped low as the viticultural work is impeccable, the winemaking is thoroughly Burgundian in style, and bottling is accomplished with no fining or filtration. With over 90 acres in vine, this is one of the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A ripe year like 2009 is kind to the Cabernet Sauvignon of Château Figeac. The wine is perfumed with new wood and sweet fruits, delicious black currant flavors giving both ripeness and freshness. The wine has weight and impressive density. A star of the vintage."
Cellar/Tasting Notes Typical of Lynch-Bages in its sumptuous rich style, this is a resounding success for the team of Jean-Michel Cazes. With its sweet fruit, opulent but balanced wood and red and black fruit flavors, it is a wine that will develop relatively quickly but will certainly age.
Cellar/Tasting Notes Can the 2009 Ducru Beaucaillou be better than the brilliant 2000 and extraordinary 2003 and 2005? Purchasers will have to decide for themselves, but this compelling effort is one of the all-time great Ducru Beaucaillous.

You would not think that politicians from 159 counties would be able to set aside their personal differences and local biases long enough to agree on a list of expensive road projects, but it seems to have happened.
The "regional roundtables" of elected officials from 12 districts around the state have now finalized their lists of highway and transit projects for the 2012 referendums on whether to impose a one-penny sales tax, the T-SPLOST, to pay for the construction work over the next 10 years.
At first glance, you might think 2012 will be a ho-hum election year for Georgia voters.
We won't be choosing a governor, and neither of the incumbent U.S. senators will be on the ballot, so there aren't any compelling statewide races to get excited about.
If you're looking for the entertainment a good political campaign supplies, I see two congressional races with a lot of potential: the Republican primary in the 9th Congressional District and the general election for the 12th District.

Want your opinion heard on the front
page of The Cardinal Nation and the MLB page for Scout.com? I am currently looking for readers to
send me their opinion about any event that happened in Major League Baseball for
each respective week. If your piece
is chosen, it will be included in one of these weekly reports along with your
The only criterion is that it should
be written in 200 words or less and needs to cover a news event during the
current week in Major League Baseball.
The content is yours for the choosing, so have fun with it! Feel free to email me at email@example.com
if you would like your shot at contributing.
On to the past week in
- The following stat appears in the AL
East section only because starter Brian Matusz of the Orioles issued the
final strikeout of the month. According to Elias Sports Bureau, 5,992 is the
number of strikeouts that were recorded throughout Major League Baseball during
April. It was the highest number of
strikeouts in the history of baseball for the month and the second highest for
any month ever. The Houston Astros should not feel so lonely anymore.
- Orioles fans breathed a sigh
of relief when Dr. James Andrews recommended and then gave pitching prospect
Dylan Bundy a platelet-rich plasma injection to ail his sore right elbow. According to the Baltimore Sun,
the right-hander will miss at least six weeks as he rests and rehabs, though
it's much better than the 12 months that Tommy John surgery would have benched
- Chris Davis, who has been on a tear
to lead Baltimore's offense this season,
earned the American League Player of the Month award for April. The first baseman led the league in home
runs (nine) and RBI (28), while finishing fourth in batting average (.348) and
fifth in on-base percentage (.442).
- Initially expecting to miss possibly
one start, Josh Johnson was placed by the Blue Jays on the 15-day
disabled list with inflammation in his right triceps. Toronto recalled starter Ricky Romero from the
minor leagues, as the left-hander will try to put his command issues of the past
year behind him and stick in what has been a struggling
- When the word 'spitball' appears,
most fans think of old-time baseball.
Not this time. Starter Clay
Buchholz of Boston was recently accused by
Dirk Hayhurst of the Toronto media and others for throwing spitballs by
doctoring the ball with a foreign substance on his left arm. Buchholz immediately denied the
accusation, though it will be interesting to watch when the right-hander faces
the Blue Jays again on May 11th.
- Whether or not Buchholz has received
'help' from any substance, the right-hander was named Pitcher of the Month in
the American League for April. He
went a perfect 5-0 with a 1.19 earned-run average and 39 strikeouts. Buchholz beat out lefty Matt Moore of the
Rays, who also went 5-0 with a 1.13 earned-run
- Reliever Bruce Rondon of the
Detroit Tigers received his chance to dazzle fans and befuddle hitters,
though the flamethrower struggled over three outings in his major league debut
for Detroit
before getting demoted to Triple-A on Thursday. Rondon is not finished in the major
leagues this season, though the right-hander allowed five hits, three runs, and
two walks over 2.1 innings.
- The White Sox may be without
starter Gavin Floyd for an extended period of time after finding a tear in his
elbow. According to the Chicago
Tribune, the White Sox will look at several options before considering
surgery, but Tommy John is currently staring Floyd in the face. The right-hander has a 5.18 earned-run
average over five starts this season.
- Another Chicago starter is
facing a stint on the disabled list, as Jake Peavy is dealing with back
spasms. The right-hander would not
expect to miss much time if a move is needed. Peavy is off to a hot start (3.38
earned-run average, 39 strikeouts and six walks over 32 innings) coming off a
solid 2012 season that saw him top 200 innings for the first time since
- Jeremy Guthrie tossed his first
career shutout when the right-hander dominated White Sox hitters on Saturday
night. Guthrie's performance has
been representative of a revamped Kansas City rotation whose collective
3.56 earned-run average sits seventh best in Major League Baseball. That is a
far cry from the 5.01 ERA the rotation posted in 2012 (26th worst in
baseball). With a dynamic bullpen
to compliment the rotation, the Royals are 17-10, a half-game behind the
division-leading Detroit Tigers.
- Josh Donaldson of the Oakland Athletics hit his way to Player of the Week honors in the AL for the week ending
April 28th. The third
baseman batted .545 with both patience and power, as he walked seven times and
ripped seven doubles.
- Six hours and 32 minutes. That's the length the
Angels-Athletics match-up lasted on Monday night/Tuesday morning. As first baseman Brandon Moss lifted a
pitch off Barry Enright that landed in the stands to give the A's the walkoff
win in the 19th inning, the game was officially the longest in
franchise history for the Oakland Athletics, according to the San Francisco
- Seattle has kicked their season
into gear with a solid week, as the Seattle Times outlines how that has
happened here.
With a record of 15-18, the Mariners have fought their way back near .500
and look to make some noise in the West.
- Starter Justin Grimm took a
head-start in the race for Rookie of the Year as he was named Rookie of the
Month for April. The Rangers
hurler made three starts after getting the call from the minors and posted a
1.59 earned-run average with two wins, 15 strikeouts, and four walks in 17
- Starter Tim Hudson of the
Braves had a game on Tuesday worthy of telling his future
grandchildren. Hudson joined the 200-win club with an 8-1 Atlanta victory over the
Nationals. The right-hander also
made his presence known at the plate with a home run and double over his three
plate appearances.
- The Atlanta-Journal Constitution noted that
the Braves are on pace for two team records, one good and one bad. The good is that Atlanta is on pace for a
franchise record 236 home runs this season. The bad is that the team has struck out
an April record 246 times, adding to the record pace that the entire league is
- Justin Upton's hot start for
has been well publicized, and now the outfielder was recognized as the NL Player
of the Month for April. Upton led the league with
12 home runs and hit .298 with 19 RBI and a .402 on-base percentage for the
- Upton wasn't the only player to earn monthly
honors for the Braves, as Evan Gattis was honored with Rookie of the
Month honors after belting six home runs and driving in 16 runs. According to mlb.com, Gattis led all NL
rookies in home runs, RBI, slugging percentage (.566) and total bases
- The only threat in the Marlins'
lineup went down with a hamstring strain. Giancarlo Stanton has been off to a
sluggish start this year (.728 OPS, three home runs), though the outfielder has
sadly been one of the most productive hitters in the lineup for Miami. Stanton could miss a month as the slugger
landed on the 15-day disabled list with the injury.
- Delmon Young made his debut for
Philadelphia by ripping a home run
in a 14-2 loss in Cleveland. Young will spend plenty of time in right
field for the Phillies, though the outfielder made his first start in six years
at the position. Phillies fans are
poised to boo at Young's first misstep in right, an odd positional choice for
the big-bodied player.
- Roy Halladay is headed to the
disabled list after letting it known to the Phillies that he has been
dealing with shoulder pain as early as his April 24th start against
the Pirates, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. The right-hander coughed up nine runs to
a struggling Miami offense in a loss Sunday afternoon and
continues to seek answers for a rough start this season punctuated by decreased
- Matt Harvey of the Mets will
become a household name before the year is out, and the starter is being

It's a good thing these dudes can play football....because a great majority of them are dumber than a box of rocks.
Donte Whitner no more: 49ers safety plans to change last name to 'Hitner'
After he was fined $21,000 by the NFL for his Week 4 collision with St. Louis receiver Chris Givens, 49ers safety Donte Whitner designed a bunch of T-shirts (yours now for just $28!) with the hash tag #LegalHitner on them in protest.
He's apparently ready to take his indirect protest one step further:
Thinking about taking the W out of my last name. Mom said its ok (y'all kno I had to ask 1st lol) #NotPlayingEither
— TWHITNER (@DonteWhitner) October 1, 2013
It's official…The W is being removed from my last name from Whitner to Hitner…GM
— TWHITNER (@DonteWhitner) October 2, 2013
Whitner also plans to directly contest his fine, announcing on Tuesday that he would appeal the punishment.
"If the intent isn't there, I don't know what we can do as players," Whiter told the Mercury News. "Maybe we should put flags on and pull. Maybe fans will like that. Maybe not."
Kudos to Whitner for commitment to the bit, especially since (as he pointed out) this is his first fine for an unnecessary roughness penalty.
But two things real quick here: 1. Basically taunting the NFL with this name may not be the smartest move, financially; and 2. "Hitner" is awfully close to "Hitler," isn't it?
Even if Whitner follows through on the name change (the 49ers say he has started the legal process, but nothing is finalized), the NFL will have to give the go-ahead on the switch regarding Whitner's jersey — you might recall the hubbub created when Chad Johnson legally changed his name to Ochocinco just before the 2008 season. The NFL did approve that moniker (as one word). The explanation given by league spokesman Greg Aiello at the time: "It's his legal surname."
Maybe he'll get the little mustache, also.
I'm a 49er fan...and this is embarrassing.
Stupid, stupid move by a player I thought was smart.
My first thought was the same as a lot of others. He's one typo away from sharing his name with a really, really bad guy.
So, he supports domestic violence?
Now his names sounds like "hittin her."
Instead of dropping the W, maybe he should just drop the T
Shouldn't blame Donte but his agent for this. Donte is too stupid to figure and spell that on his own
no fun league i would rather watch college except for a few teams
"Hitner" is awfully close to "Hitler," isn't it?
talk about ethnic or race baiting by SI. Please, that's like saying "Tebow" is close to "Jesus"
More like Whitless
First name changed to Adolf while you're at it? Wow... talk about thick as a brick to not see that.
waaaay to close to HITLER........
Well, a lot of people are reading this article and ESPN will definitely "discuss" it tomorrow in one of their stupid "debate" shows ... as Donte is looking to get attention, he's succeeded.
Awesome...he showed it against Seattle !!!! pathetic these guys worry about "self" more than getting blasted
Sounds like something a bunch of 5th grade boys came up with and thought was hilarious.
Anyone remember He Hate Me?
Why not change it to scumbagpieceofsh*t?
He should change his 1st name to Adolph.
black athletes....so silly
Twitter gives us so much important news info! (I wonder what Dante had for lunch?)
The "Hit" thing I can understand. The "-ner" part... Man, I just don't know why you'd want to go anywhere close to that.
Good thing his name isn't Whitler!
Joining Chad (Whatever His Name is Now) and Metta World Peace. Such noble company.
Sure you want to do this? Especially with a name that could easily be mistaken for one of the most poisonous monikers in history?
Donte isn't going to change his style of game. He's always cared about the well-being of his opponents and never tries to deliver dirty hits. He plays the game hard. It's too bad the NFL of today wants to rid itself of one of the staples that makes it exciting; the nasty hits in the middle of the field.
Might as well turn it into touch football at this rate.
Stop it with the Tebow-hate, already. Especially in this context. That is just vile.
@ezwriter69 My very first thought was the same. How could he not see the problem with this? Does he have an agent? If he does, better than even chance he is Jewish - how ironic!
@donald5 5th grade is a stretch for many of these guys. Monkeys are smarter than most
@NoThanksESPNFacebook haha!! XFL yep
why not kill yourself?
@riley8 That would be funnier if you spelled Adolf right.
@thetruthruth Die in a fire, racist moron.
It's always about color to some people.
@gymviking "fried chicken and watermelon for desert" -----Sergio
@dukhobearl Given the complete disinterest in history that many younger people have, it makes me wonder if he even knows who Hitler was or why he's hated. C'mon, man!
@dukhobearl He took one ketter off of his name. What is so hard to understand? Quit giving dead people power.
@MidwestGolfFan Yeah, and OchoStinko was too stupid to realize that he didn't even change his name to his jersey number (Ocho Cinco means "Eight Five", not Eightyfive, which would've been Ochenta y Cinco).
@itsthinking @RaymondSmith Because thabkfully I'm not you. If I were, that would definitely be an option to consider.
@MoeLarryAndJesus @riley8 Yeah and Hitner sounds about right.
@MoeLarryAndJesus @thetruthruth in a fire? you mean like richard pryor freebasing or michael jackson burning his hair for pepsi?
@itsthinking thankfully
a. They didn't die.
b. They had more talent than you.
c. So do all black athletes.
d. You're still a racist moron.

I don't understand this at all. Gonna build up a spank bank of chicks you creepily took pics of when they weren't looking?
"The idea that the market will solve such things as environmental concerns, as our racial divides, as our class distinctions, our problems with educating and incorporating one generation of workers into the economy after the other when that economy is changing; the idea that the market is going to heed all of the human concerns and still maximise profit is juvenile. . . Are we all in this together or are we all not?" - David Simon, creator of The Wire

Life After Innocence
Mission Statement
Life After Innocence advocates for innocent people adversely affected by the criminal justice system, helping them reenter society and enabling them to reclaim their rights as citizens, through individualized legal and support services and wider-reaching public policy initiatives.
Clinic Description
A number of innocence projects work around the country (and the world) to free those in prison for crimes they did not commit. However, there are fewer, if any, resources for persons once exonerated. Life After Innocence at Loyola University Chicago follows up with such exonerees to offer guidance, pro bono legal services and additional support on all levels. Students and faculty work with recent exonerees to obtain expungement of their records, find housing, search for employment, obtain counseling, procure identification, teach computer and cell phone skills, obtain medical treatment, aid in gaining Certificates of Innocence, and work with money managers to deal with any state funds or civil verdicts received after release.
Life After Innocence student members attend weekly group meetings, and are required to sign an agreement indicating that they will provide weekly billing to account for time devoted to the clinic and will continue after the semester, on their own time, any projects not completed during the semester.
Barry Scheck Luncheon on February 21st, 2014
"Innocence: Then and Now"
Barry Scheck is one of the most famous lawyers in the nation, having done extensive trial and appellate litigation in significant civil rights and criminal defense cases. He is co-founder and co-director of the Innocence Project, which uses DNA evidence to exonerate the wrongly convicted. More than 300 individuals have been exonerated in the United States through post-conviction DNA testing. More than 1200 people have been exonerated in the United States. Life After Innocence is the only after-care organization in the country providing legal and social support to exonerees. For more information contact email@example.com.

July 1, 2010 - It's a common piece of knowledge in our industry that the PlayStation 2 is amongst the top echelon of gaming systems ever released.

Red Dead Redemption: Rockstar Next
February 25, 2010 - It's not wholly inaccurate to bill Rockstar as the house that Grand Theft Auto built – after all it was the success of the first top down game in 1998 that helped birth the company, and subsequent games have helped define it, from the revolution ushered in by GTA III and the cultural impact of Vice City and San Andreas to the cinematic cool and shocking detail of GTA IV – but as its slate for the coming months attests, there's a sense that it's shifting the focus away from its staple series as LA Noire, Max Payne 3 and Agent fill out a year that many thought would see the release of the next GTA. Is it possible that Rockstar is trying to move away from being predominantly known for GTA?

Wednesday 10: Smug Hardcore Gamer Quotes
February 4, 2009 - Quick, you've been caught playing Professor Layton on the DS. Or you accidentally left your copy of Carnival Games out on the coffee table. Your hardcore gamer reputation is now hanging by a thread. Your next words could be the scissors that sever it forever. You need to think fast... and talk faster. These are serious gamers you're dealing with and you better say something that reminds them that you are the hardest of the hardcore. Do you mention you imported Cosmic Smash for the Dreamcast? No, that's too easy -- they did, too. How about claiming Sonic on the Neo Geo Pocket is superior to the Sonic games on the Nintendo DS? Getting warmer. Maybe asserting that an RPG without random battles is no RPG at all? Perfect. Everybody gets into these kinds of situations, where your gamer cred is threatened by little slip-ups like admitting you don't see what all the fuss is concerning Shadow of the Colossus. (Good luck recovering from that, pal. Grown men have been reduced to tears trying to walk that one back.) Or you find yourself in a group of people that only "think" they are hardcore, but just need somebody like you to show them that you are a real gamer... they are merely game players. Memorize these 10 smug gaming assertions and arguments and drop them like bombs when the time finally comes that your hardcore bona fides are on the line.
Top 25 PS2 Games
November 14, 2008 - Trying to come up with just about any ranked list of games for the PlayStation 2 when it's enjoyed such ridiculous success has to pass for cruel and unusual punishment. It's not so much that we couldn't come up with 25 games -- that much was cake -- it was having to plug them into the ranking. As with all lists of this nature, it's going to come down to personal preference. Sports gamers, for instance, are obviously going to throw quite a few more of their favorites on the list. Likewise, RPG nuts have been uncommonly blessed with some wonderful examples of the genre.

Helaine Olen profiles "the most important personal finance guru in America." Yes, it's Dave Ramsey.
Anger at predatory lenders and disgust with the indentured servitude of debt have been a huge part of America's public consciousness since the financial crisis of 2008. They have fired the politics of Occupy Wall Street and the careers of financial reformers like Elizabeth Warren, who are calling for greater financial regulation, a stronger safety net, and efforts to reverse decades of increasing wealth inequality.
Ramsey takes the disgust with debt in a different direction. In his version of the story, the wider economy's problems are not structural or political, but instead stem from the fact that most people, including his listeners, are weak-willed, self-indulgent, and stupid (he doesn't shy from the word) when it comes to spending. "The problem with your money," he often says with perfect certainty, "is the person in your mirror." Once you get over the casual meanness of this message, it becomes clear how oddly reassuring it is. It assumes that we are in control. To his listeners, Ramsey holds out the promise that they can simply choose to be different—that it's within their power to not take part in recessions and the economic troubles facing American families. "Debt is normal," a Ramsey bumper sticker says. "Be weird."

Ham & Cheese Croissants, Set of 10
- Exclusive
- Online Only
- Summary
Master pastry chef Jean-Yves Charon is famous for his bake-at-home croissants and other classic pastries. For this creation, he wraps buttery croissant dough, laboriously crafted using butter and ultrathin layers of yeast dough, around Black Forest ham and Swiss cheese for a savory, European-style treat. These stuffed croissants are easy to prepare: allow frozen pastries to thaw overnight and then bake them the next morning, all the while filling the house with an irresistible aroma. Enjoy these cheesy treats warm, straight from your home oven. They emerge golden brown and flaky on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside and—our favorite part—bubbly with creamy melted cheese. Full of savory flavor, these are treats no patisserie can match.
- 10 ready-to-bake ham-and-cheese croissants.
- Ships overnight from the producer. Not eligible for rush delivery. Please allow up to one week for delivery.

Abstract: Hemp concrete is a sustainable lightweight concrete that became popular in the field of building construction because of its thermal and environmental properties. However; available experimental data on its hygrothermal behavior are rather scarce in the literature. This paper describes the design of a large-scale experiment developed to investigate the hygrothermal behavior of hemp concrete cast around a timber frame through a spraying process; and then coated with lime-based plaster. The equipment is composed of two climatic chambers surrounding the tested wall. The experiment consists of maintaining the indoor climate at constant values and applying incremental steps of temperature; relative humidity or vapor pressure in the outdoor chamber. Temperature and relative humidity of the room air and on various depths inside the wall are continuously registered during the experiments and evaporation phenomena are observed. The influence of the plaster on the hygrothermal behavior of hemp concrete is investigated. Moreover; a comparison of experimental temperatures with numerical results obtained from a purely conductive thermal model is proposed. Comparing the model with the measured data gave satisfactory agreement.
Keywords: bio-based material; lime plaster; multilayer wall; large-scale experiment; temperature and relative humidity measurement; coupled heat and moisture transfer; evaporation; moisture accumulation; 1D thermal simulation
