Stars of "Back to the Future" Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd reunited for a video posted Wednesday to revisit prophecies made in the movie.
The film, released in 1989, was able to correctly guess that 3D movies and fingerprint technology would be available today. We're still waiting on dog-walking robots, however.
In the video – a spot for Toyota – Fox also humorously makes fun of Lloyd for still using a fax machine.
The end of the clip reveals that a full video will be unveiled Oct. 21, which coincides with the date Marty travels to the future from 1985 in "Back to the Future: Part II."
It's too soon to tell if the duo's prediction about the Cubs winning the World Series this year is accurate.
Lloyd said in a recent interview he would enjoy throwing the first pitch if the Cubs make it to the World Series.
"Maybe it'll happen. We'll see," Lloyd told the Hollywood Reporter. "They got to get there first."

Jerry Jones Should Thank Nolan Ryan, Ron Washington and Company
By Gene Strother
(Correspondent) on October 23, 2010 - Arlington
ARLINGTON, TX - OCTOBER 22: The Texas Rangers celebrate on the field after defeating the New York Yankees 6-1 in Game Six of the ALCS to advance to the World Series during the 2010 MLB Playoffs at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington on October 22, 2010 in Arlington, Texas. (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images) Ronald Martinez/Getty Images
Did you think when Jerry Jones built his shiny silver football palace down the street from the Rangers Ballpark in Arlington that his ball club would become the "other" team in town?
Me neither.
Here we are in the most wonderful time of the year in Texas, the heart of football season, and the team we all eat, drink and sleep to is just 1-4 and threatening to fall completely out of contention before they reach the halfway mark, and no one in the Dallas/Fort Worth area seems to mind very much.
Only one thing could possibly ease the tension at Cowboys' headquarters: a first-ever trip to the World Series for the beloved Texas Rangers.
For that reason, Jerry Jones should send a few cases of ginger ale (the Rangers don't do champagne in deference to the best ball player to ever wear their uniform, Josh Hamilton) over to Nolan Ryan and his team. He might send a "Thank You" card, as well.
While Jerry's boys continue to underachieve, fire one miscue after the other and defend the seemingly indefensible rhetoric of its head coach, the unlikely journey toward a world championship continues for the Rangers. Who said this was a football town?
If you happened to see game six of the ALCS between the New York Yankees and the Rangers, then you know there are plenty of amped, rabid, ecstatic baseball fans in these parts too. They just needed a reason to cheer.
Now they have one.
So does Jones, who ought to be the biggest fan of the Texas Rangers. If they should close the deal with a World Series championship, he might get a pass on the entire 2010-11 football season. We might even forget how disappointing it is that we won't become the first home team fans in NFL history to cheer our team to a home-field Super Bowl victory.
Why? Because before we host our first-ever Super Bowl, we will welcome the World Series to town.
Go Rangers! Right, Jerry?
Jerry Jones Should Thank Nolan Ryan, Ron Washington and Company | Bleacher Report

Jerry, Jerry, Jerry.... I bet he's scheming right now on how to get the Rangers to play the World Series at Stadium.

Jacobs Alerts Motorists to Renew Local and Avoid Vehicle Registration Delays | News
Title (Max 100 Characters)
Erie County, NY- Erie County Clerk Chris Jacobs wants to make motorists aware that renewing your vehicle registration through the local Auto Bureau or utilizing the signature green-postage paid envelopes, can generate up to $1.5 million in additional revenue for the county and is done without any delays.
Recently the Department of Motor Vehicles identified a defect in registration documents supplied by their vendor. "According to the NYS DMV, this has prevented the printing of most registrations and window stickers that were ordered starting January 1, 2013," said Jacobs. "As a result, there will be a delay in printing the registrations and stickers for motorists who ordered new, duplicate or renewal documents through Albany since January 1."
The NYS DMV has issued letters to customers affected assuring them that their registration transaction has been processed and their vehicle's registration is in full force and effect and permanent registrations and window stickers will be mailed out as soon as they receive the new document supply from the vendor. They have also notified all police agencies and courts of this issue.
"I want to assure residents that it does not impact any of the registration documents issued in any of the Erie County Auto Bureaus," said Jacobs. "When motorists 'Renew Local' any such delays in your vehicle registration can be avoided."
County Clerk Jacobs encourages all motorists to visit renewlocal.ere.gov, complete the necessary information, and have a "Just Mail It" envelope sent to them directly for future registration renewals. Anyone with questions can call the Erie County Auto Bureau Call Center at 716-858-7450 Monday through Friday from 8:30 am- 4:15 pm or visit www.erie.gov/clerk for a complete list of Auto Bureau locations and hours.

I have not been around here lately, things in my life have been a little crazy. My oldest daughter Ocean, is in the hospital. Since she is hopefully on the mend, I thought I would take her some home-made soup. I made this "root vegetable soup" to compensate for the yucky hospital food.
Picked up a bag of stewing vegetables at the grocery store yesterday. It's just handy and pretty inexpensive. I also grabbed a can of kidney beans, and whipped this together this morning.
Root vegetable soup
2 tbsp sunflower oil
1 onion-small diced
1 clove of garlic- minced
2 carrots- peeled and sliced thick
1 potato- peeled and cubed
1 turnip- peeled and sliced
1 small rutabaga- peeled and cubed
5 cups water
1/4 cup rice
1 can of kidney beans- rinsed
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
a few leafs of kale- chopped
dried oregano
sea salt
freshly ground pepper
In a large pot, gently heat oil, add onions and garlic. Sauté until soft.
Add veggies and continue to sauté for 4-5 minutes.
Add water and rice.
Bring to a boil. Turn down to simmer.
Add beans. Season with vinegar, oregano and salt and pepper
Stir in kale once ready to serve.

We Can Help, Report Atlantic lionfish sightings
Posted 05 December 2005 - 01:15 AM
well it needs to be said.
The common lionfish from the pacific (Pterois volitans), is very widespread now off the Atlantic Coast and now in the Bahamas also. Documented cases of aquarium releases and possible other "causes", especially right before hurricane Andrew hit Southern Florida in the early 90s, are the probable sources. The website below has much more data.
Additional interesting data from one of the technical divers on a recent survey is the largest concentration of the lionfish are 60 miles offshore North Carolina, mostly in depths from 120' to 165'. Some surveys came up with 60 individuals in one small area. They are over-wintering there in the warm Gulf Stream and breeding. Also interesting is they are growing nearly twice the size of their Pacific counterparts. I was very surprised to see a picture of one collected that was as large as a big lunch tray on their boat. Population is now being estimated at around 1 million, so they are here to stay. Studies as to what they are eating, possible effects to our fish populations, and control measures are being looked at. As said, the NOAA website below has the best data on that.
How we can help? It is really important that any exotic fish be reported (http://www.reef.org/exotic/index.html is easiest for that), but reporting the lionfish is imperative and is best done at the website below. Accurate data is needed and pictures also. Especially important are sightings of any juveniles at any depth and adult lionfish that are shallower than 85 feet, or in areas not otherwise known.
So please help by reporting Atlantic lionfish sightings here: http://shrimp.ccfhrb...a.gov/lionfish/
Thanks, Carol

I'd be interested if anyone has figured out what the lionfish are eating in their new habitat ,and the level of risk that they may outcompete indigenous predators in this new environment. As many here already know, there have been introductions of a number of Red Sea species into the eastern Mediterranean since the opening of the Suez canal.
The pattern of newly evolved species originating in the Southeast Asia-Indo-Pacific "Coral Triangle" biodiversity hotspot radiating out and displacing relic populations seems well established in the Pacific-Indian Ocean, and presumably may have also extended into what is now the Bahamas and parts of the Atlantic eons before the continents of North and South America were joined and the Caribbean became an independent secondary originating source of new species.
(See John C. Briggs, "Coral Reefs: Conserving the evolutionary sources" in Biological Conservation 126 (2005) and "The marine East Indies: diveristy and speciation" in Journal of Biogeography 32 (2005).
Now humans, with their aquaria and ballast tanks, are mixing it up and creating avenues for exotics to move to new environments that have been cut off for millions of years. It could eventually become the marine equivalent of the incredible transfer of terrestrial biota over the past 500 years since the beginning of the Columbian exchange.

Yes James, I grew up in California and took the screen name seagrant (cause of my name), but I didn't bankroll your research!! And thanks for the welcome! BTW, FL Gardens is one of my fav places to dive in the whole world!! Not just cause we got to swim with a whale shark there for 2 hours once, but all the big and unusual little guys, just fascinating diversity and mantas everytime I've been out there. I heard it was impacted pretty bad by Wilma and my heart was made sick at that news. It is a resilient area though.
Rocha, I also was surprised to hear the population est at 1 million. This is reliable, my Dive Safety Officer from the Florida Aquarium, Tampa, was on that recent survey trip - I was green with envy, would have loved to have gone, but since I'm not tech trained I wasn't even a candidate. You know they did transcets down on hard bottom with one diver going one way, one going opposite and came up with as many as 60 lionfish on one transcet! Sometimes it was just 2 or 3, but you know to get 60 in one transect the population has to be dense. I'm told they seem to hunt in "packs". Of course they also surveyed wrecks that had populations. I believe he said that last year when he was on one of the surveys they removed lionfish from 3 deep wrecks and this year 2 of the wrecks were fully repopulated with large individuals, but one was still lionfish free.
Yes, unfortunately it wasn't just one that was as big as a lunch tray, I'm told there were a lot that size. I saw pics of specimens and there were live captures also, but the big ones are harder to return to the surface safely from those depths. They are eating our little wrasses, our anthias, etc., food that grouper, etc. normally eat. So it is a great concern. I think the website has a lot more data and a daily, interesting blow by blow account. No one is jumping to conclusions now but it doesn't sound good. I'm not a gloom and doom person and I've always been so proud that our US waters are not awfully fished-out like many areas of the planet, but this lionfish invasion can't be good. Too bad sand tigers don't have a taste for them??? Maybe it will develop??
Good news is right now in Florida we don't have that many, they seemed to have mostly followed the gulf stream north, and then whatever other loop it is taking to send them to Bahamas. But again most reside very deep in the gulf stream so they could go by undetected, who knows. I don't want to jump to conclusions.
I'm certainly keeping an eye out for them in Florida here, also they haven't entered the Gulf of Mexico as far as I know. So reported sightings will be very, very important in the future to determine where they are spreading.
Yes, unfortunately lots of exotics, especially on the East Coast of Florida and some in the Keys. I've seen sailfin tang there pretty regularly, south of West Palm, and there are exotic angelfishes, etc. REEF along with the Florida Aquarium removed some orbicular batfish from Molasses Reef in Key Largo (they are in the Florida Aquairum and Boston Aquariums now), but I think they may have missed one? That was a worry cause they might mate with our atlantic spadefish. Yes, word, posters and education is out saying "don't" release in the ocean. At this point sighting data and pics are most important. What I do hate is when vigilantes go out and spear the poor things on their own, collection is a much better option unless something officially comes down as far as the lionfish are concerned, there are so many now, vigilante measures are fruitless in my opinion, complete data is much more valuable. Also sometimes I hate then to label any fish "exotic" cause I'm afraid some uneducated person will go out and kill the thing (that has been going on). We do have a lot of neat stuff in the Atlantic and Gulf here that people are not aware of and are actually native!!
Anyway, I've had my say, report, report, report, Thanks, C <_<
Posted 14 December 2005 - 06:41 PM
We should kill exotics on sight. Too many times we have let invasives passively come in as curiosities, only to cause enormous problems later. Grass carp, european buckthorn, lampreys, starlings and zebra mussels to name a few. Can you imagine being the first Atlantic grouper to discover lionfish?
I have heard from people at government and NGO's that the official policy is to report, but unofficially they wanted the lionfish dead. They don't offically advocate killing because the critters are venomous and might incur a liability for the agency posting kill recommendation.
Posted 14 December 2005 - 07:54 PM
This article below documents a sighting of the lionfish by Jim Abernethy in 1994 (four years before 1998). In fact it is a very interesting article just loaded with data and "facts", even an instance of disscussion of a lionfish "bounty" price, you would like that.
I am most certainly not the expert on this, but felt the "report, report" aspect needed to be posted. If the Bahamas says the sighting is from their own aquarium I'm sure that will be of interest to Paula Whitfield, NOAA, NC (email add on website below). The article above says the southern boundry of our lionfish "releases" and subsequent distribution was never established, so I can't say where that Bahamas lionfish came from. I figured it was from our population since the lionfish off the Atlantic coast range (or "ranged") from Miami, Florida (or more south?) to New Jersey, including Bermuda. The Bahamas isn't very far out of that loop. But it is up to the researchers to look at that.
That is a huge area and if you read the data on these and other websites about the density found at various sites it is not at all hard to imagine the population estimated at 1 million. But whatever the population really is, point is we don't want the lionfish eating the food our native grouper and snapper eat and also eating the grouper, etc, juvs. We have worked hard to keep our Atlantic waters from being so awfully fished-out like so much of the world and this is a possible threat.
So the need for good data and pictures as to where they are is vital and a real way to help. If anyone has any pictures of the Pacific common lionfish in the Atlantic please send them here with data:
Thanks everyone for taking an interest!! Best, C
Posted 14 December 2005 - 08:54 PM
they are growing nearly twice the size of their Pacific counterparts.
I am assuming that this is due to the fact that there hasn't been any sort of co-evolution going on with the Lionfish and other Atlantic species over the last couple thousand years....
They are probably pretty immune to diseases that have evolved in conjunction with native species.
Whatever it is they are eating has been caught by surprise... they don't have any protection/resistance to this attack.
There are no predators that have evolved traits which allow them to feed on Lionfish (i.e. immunity to their venom).

I'll ask more about the "reasons" being formulated about the very large size the lionfish are growing to in the Atlantic. You could also email Paula Whitfield, NOAA, NC, she has her email listed at the end of the site I posted earlier, I don't think she would mind educated questions (and data!!)
You have to see though the lionfish have an almost totally different environment here. They are living very deep mostly, that is different from their Pacific counterparts. They are eating different species of fish, that is different from their Pacific counterparts. Water Temps are much different, etc.
Predators? It was hoped sand tigers would be a predator, but I don't know if that has been established or not. Has anything even tried to eat them here? I'll look for data on that and ask around.
Thanks again, good points made, C

Just for interest, here are mating lionfish (longfin rather than volitans):
The male was the larger fish (which surprised me as I would have expected the female to be larger) and her is wrapping round and underneath the female in the spawning rise.

The only thing I've seen take one out is a large Moray Eel. Because he swallowed him head first, the spine was no issue. Who knows if he ever ate another one..haha.
Seriously, I heard that fishermen were given the no-return-to-water order for Batfish. Has anyone heard the same for the Lionfish?

And here is a nice summary about exotic marine fish:
Posted 08 January 2006 - 11:51 AM
As far as I know all the orbicular batfish were removed from Molasses Reef by REEF in conjunction with the Florida and New England Aquariums in separate removal operations. They may have missed one, but they are not widespread as far as I have heard recently. You can ask Lad Akins from REEF to confirm that. They were all captured live and are still living in the aquariums as far as I know. You can come see two of them at the Florida Aquarium in our big coral reef tank. They are an important educational part of our dive programs, mentioning that they are the only fish not native to Florida in the tank, etc.
Be careful about posting the "kill" recommendation, you may be promoting something technically illegal in Florida waters with regards to ornamental reeffish (but not lionfish, as they are scorpionfish).
It is a big problem I assure you and I am not against organized removal of harmful species, but I am against "vigilante" practices as, among other things they might not be hatted enough to tell the sometimes slight differences between our reeffish and species from another ocean. Or they might not have a clue that a LOT of species are circumtropical and circumglobal, even looking different in other regions (e.g., striated frogfish, A. striatus).
We do a lot of funded surveys around Florida every year and I personally dive over 100 dives per year (50% of all my open water dives per year) in our Florida waters. We are pretty familiar with what is widespread and what is not.
Again I'm not against organized removal for scientific/environmental purposes, but I feel it must be handled in an organized fashion that will actually do some good, with statistics, etc. Do we tell recreational divers to kill crown of thorns on the Great Barrier Reef? No, of course we don't, yes that is a different sit of course as they are native, but it is the same point.
And yes, this is solely my opinion although I have heard it expressed by others also. I have also heard your opinion expressed and I respect that. Just be careful about the legal issues and what exactly you are encouraging in our Florida waters.
Respectfully, Carol
PS-Best thing is reliable data and photos submitted to these sites:
And other non-natives:
Posted 08 January 2006 - 12:59 PM
...you may be promoting something technically illegal in Florida waters with regards to ornamental reeffish (but not lionfish, as they are scorpionfish).
I am not quite sure of what you mean above. Lionfish are scorpionfish and both are reeffish. Now, many scorpionfish are not ornamental reeffish, but lionfish are, and their prices in the ornamental reef fish trade are quite high.
P.S.: I was not trying to promote a removal operation, but merely to alert people that also do some fishing to not release invasive species back to the environment (when they know the species is exotic).

i couldn't make the trip due to a neck surgery.
she came back talking about this fish she photographed and was calling it a scorpionfish.
i about dies when i first saw the images. they are so very close and clear.
(i will send them as soon as i get back to school on monday)
then of course, she was quite excited when i informed her of the toxicity of these

Two ugly losses in a row to the Islanders might be worse than the 6 game losing streak.
Thanks for proving my point.
Just pointing out that it's how they lost, who they lost to, and the circumstances surrounding the loss (opportunity to take 1st seed) that make this a bit worse than any other two game losing streak. It's also losing 3 out of the last 4, and not really playing well in that one win either. Just saying..

A BlankTV Premiere Presentation:
Hammered Grunts - "Public Image"
Artist Bio:
Hammered Grunts was started in 2004, much to the dismay of neighbors and music snobs alike. The band consists of four friends dedicated to making music and being involved in the local Vancouver, WA and Portland, OR punk rock scene.
After quickly becoming a favorite in basements all over the Pacific Northwest because of their relentless and passionate stage presence, the band launched a summer tour in 2008 in which they terrorized the West Coast. The band capped off the year by releasing their first self-titled street punk album consisting of 15 original songs.
Following the success from their first tour and album release, Hammered Grunts teamed up with Portland's local folk-punk heroes, Rum Rebellion, and recorded a split EP displaying another 6 song onslaught of energy & angst. Together, Hammered Grunts and Rum Rebellion hit the road, sharing the summer of 2009 with fans and friends gained through previous tours and word of mouth.
As of late, Hammered Grunts has developed a more thrash influenced sound that street and skate punks alike can enjoy. Enthralled by their boisterous new sound, they released the album "Street Thrash", which includes 12 tracks of brutality layered over infectious street punk energy. Ten years later, these bratty punks still write and perform with as much passion, enthusiasm, and originality as ever before.
Hammered Grunts would like to extend thanks to all of their families, friends, and fans who have supported them through the years and for the years to come!
About The Video:
"Public Image" is a 3 minute 15 second claymation music video. The video transmits a powerful message about fame and fortune, using clay as a metaphor for how an entertainer today is cultivated and "sculpted" to become the next idol for the people. Thaddeus Thompson, director and producer, creates a world filled with sleazy agents and soulless stars that milk the fawning masses of their precious money.
The music in this video was written by Portland, OR/Vancouver, WA street-thrash band Hammered Grunts.

I've always been making things; even from the age of 3 or so I loved working with my hands to create something tangible. I loved crafting in all its forms, and that coupled with a lack of money made me turn to creating my own clothes and accessories during my teens. Making pretty things helps me relax; the patience and concentration required turn it into a zen-like experience for me. After I closed down my short-lived clothing and jewelry line in 2007, I wanted to stay connected to the world of fashion, and offered to write blog articles for the Editor of FashionTribes.com. She taught me so much about blogging and audience engagement, and I found I really enjoyed being able to share my ideas and creations with a larger audience. I started Chic Steals as a place just to house all the articles I wrote for FashionTribes, but after awhile I started to add more original content and blog about the projects I was making…and I found that people liked it…so I kept going! It's now been just over 4 years since I founded my blog and it's opened so many doors and connected me to so many people in ways that I could never have imagined!
Many of my DIY's are from runway collections, or of things I've seen for sale in stores or online, as well as items featured in magazines. This gives me a good idea of what is popular now, or what will be popular soon, so I figure there would be interest in making your own version!
DIY peplums (both attached to clothing and removable) are currently very popular, as is neon accessories and clothing. DIY'ers are using tons of neon spray paint to give their accessories a new life, as well as sparkly Mod Podge to add a little bling to shoes and bags. Cut-outs, fringe and tassels, and clear and translucent plastic are also making the rounds recently. And using power tools (drills and cutting attachments) for DIY's, as well as old-school macrame, are also currently trending.
Try everything and don't give up! Seriously, you never know what techniques or materials might strike your fancy, so it's a good idea to dabble and try different things. And don't be discouraged by projects that go awry…I've had soooo many DIY fails but each time I learn something more, and am able to apply that knowledge to the next project. And most importantly, have fun!
All manner of studs and spikes – I love adding a little edge to projects! High-quality sew-on rhinestones in settings…they're extremely hard-to-find pre-set and those little metal rims make all the difference between a project that looks homemade and a project that looks high-fashion. Finally, pretty trims (like chiffon with beading, or lace with ribbon through it) can easily dress up any piece of clothing or accessory and give it a look that's all your own – so I love working with it!

From my friend Betty Ann on her Facebook page:
"This article deeply moved me…as I suspect it will for any of you who have been impacted by the kind of grief associated with multiple loss, deaths due to overdose and or HIV/AIDS. Rather than just clicking on "like", can you write a few sentences in a comment? Maybe just something about how this article landed with you? Guess I'm lookin for a little peer support here…"
I know there are many stories related to this piece which could be written. Don't be afraid to jog my memory or ask a question.
I URGE you to click on the following link and read:
Guest Post – How Not to Deal with Grief
Remember those days when we couldn't decide how to go to a funeral and make sure a dying friend was okay? Open casket versus closed? Cremation versus traditional burial? Would it be okay to go a little over the top in church? Someone else is sick? I thought he'd killed himself.
"…those days…come screaming back out of nowhere. I don't live with it; it lives in me. It is a part of me and makes me what I am. That does not mean I want it. I am not alone in this. And I am not alone in finding that loss accumulates and is sticky and hangs together like lumps of tar and sticks and sand on the beach after a storm."
"…these thoughts, the ones of dead friends and loved ones, are in the heap in the back corner. They lurk behind the door with a skull and crossbones saying; "Fuck Off, Asshole," in 72 pica. Then in smaller type: "You know who and what's in here, so why don't you just walk the fuck away?" And every so often I walk through that door for whatever reason and it takes days to recover."
"People died around you. Repeatedly. Let me emphasize: Repeatedly. There were no protease inhibitors. No Truveda. Just blind hope, determination, anger, solidarity, organizing, guesswork and gambling on whether to take a drug or wait for the big one that will work — and die waiting. This was not a time of long-term sustainability."
"I am not perfect. But I have found some happiness in my life, not by achieving resolution, but by acquiring wounds, then healing some and developing scar tissue that will always be there, and by just keeping going."
My laptop feels too small for what I want to write. I need a full-sized keyboard to spread out my fingers as on the keyboard of a grand pipe organ. I know the feeling of not wanting to go through personal items and photographs of friends lost. But I also know it's an irresistible tug sometimes. I more often than not know what it means just to still be here when I could have, should have been dead, with only analogies of Vegas or God's perverse selection process as explanation. I reject both.
I know that "just keeping going" has taken a lot of courage for many people, so why not me, too? I accept that there have been times when it seemed much simpler to die than to just keep going. I've even wished I would have died long before now. But there are new things to work on, new struggles to wage, even while bearing all the scars of having nearly shit myself to death.

Boys Best Spaulding and Girls Defeat MMU in OT as Hockey Falcons Take Two on the Road
ESSEX–The Falcon hockey girls rallied back from a three goal first period deficit to win 5-4 in overtime against the Mount Mansfield Cougars on Wednesday night.With Tara Langmaid forgetting her jersey and her parents not yet at the game with said jersey, Briana Bocelli got the start for North Country, yielding three goals in the opening period."It was not a good period for us. We were sleepwalking out there," said coach Claude Paul.It would be a much better, much more awake second for North Country, especially for defenseman Meghan Campbell.Campbell scored three straight goals, two early one late, to get the natural hat-trick and tie the game up at three."Meghan was very calm with puck. She made sure that her shots were getting on goal. It doesn't have to be a blast, but as long as it's on net, that's what matters," said the coach, "This game was a step up for her and we hope that she can continue that."Crease Morley gave the Falcons their first lead of the game with seven seconds left in the frame, and it was 4-3 NCU heading into the final fifteen minutes.The Cougars tied the game at 5:58 of the third and it was on to overtime, a special time of the game that these two teams have a history in.This marked the third time in the last three years that the two have gone into OT to settle a game, and the Falcons made it three in a row as Corrina Cota buried the winner at 3:54 of the extra frame.Jenna Moss and Morley assisted on the goal.North Country out shot MMU 46-17, including an 8-0 advantage in overtime. Autumn Hallock was great in the nets for the Cougars as if it was not for her, the game would have never made it beyond the forty-five minutes of regulation.Langmaid and Bocelli combined to stop thirteen.The 9-4 Falcons open up the hockey double-header tonight at Jay, squaring off against U-32 at 5:00.BARRE–The boys hockey team opened up a 3-0 lead on Spaulding and held on to win their third in a row against the Crimson Tide of Spaulding."I was very pleased with our defensive work,"said coach Andrew Roy, "It was a hard fought physical game and we were able to limit ourselves to just three penalties."Dylan Columbia would get credit for the first Falcons goal as Ebin Fournier fired one at the net that the officials deemed to go off of Columbia and in.The team built on their 1-0 lead in the second as the combination of Nate Stewart, Ross DeLaBruere, and Ryan Paul went to work in the Spaulding end.Paul made it 2-0 with Ross and Nate drawing the assists. Stewart made it 3-0 on the power-play with DeLaBruere and Paul getting the helpers.The Tide would try and rally back in the third, but 3-2 is as close as the home team would get as Chris Bronson shut the door the rest of the way, allowing North Country to get their fifth win of the season.Said Roy, "We skated a full forty-five minutes against a good opponent and picked up some very important points on the road."The 5-8 boys will follow the girls tonight as they play host to Colchester in hopes of making it four straight.Puck Drops at 7:00.

About the Book
This book is available in square or standard landscape format - the choice is yours. From Above is a portfolio of photographs based on a successful MA Photography major project completed in 2008 that researched the concept of taking photographic images exclusively looking down "from above", and the effect of this perspective on perception. The images in the portfolio draw inspiration from the photographers of the New Movement in Photography of the 1930's where the development of the miniature hand held camera allowed the flexibility to capture images from previously inaccessible locations and angles. Initially appealing was the way an elevated viewpoint can isolate and expose an almost abstract quality to what are often familiar objects; however the new perspective also revealed that there would often be a commonality of shape, pattern or form between very diverse subjects that had previously been invisible from a more normal viewpoint. The desire to retain this relationship between the images in the final portfolio resulted in them being presented as non narrative sequences. These sequences I refer to as Transitions: - the act of passing from one state or place to the next. Nigel Richards, March 2009

Jets edge Sabres despite Enroth's 37 saves
The Buffalo Sabres said all the right things heading into their first meaningless game. They wanted to play spoiler, show pride and fight to keep jobs.
In the back of their minds, though, they knew Monday's meeting with Winnipeg meant little. It showed early. The Jets, who needed to win to stay in the playoff race, roared past nearly every member of the home team.
Jhonas Enroth did his best to win the game – and his teammates eventually joined in – but the Sabres succumbed to Winnipeg, 2-1, in relatively barren First Niagara Center.
"They were hungry and they're playing for playoffs, and obviously we're out," Sabres forward Marcus Foligno said. "There's different attitudes there. They played well."
So did Enroth. He made 37 saves, including 28 in the opening two periods. He needed one more stop for the Sabres to earn an upset in front of an announced crowd of 18,654 that appeared several thousand short of that.
"I know they're going to put a lot of shots on net, and I expected the game to be like this," Enroth said.
The Jets broke a 1-1 tie with 7:36 to play. James Wright dropped a pass to Antti Miettinen above the right faceoff circle, and his shot through traffic glanced off Enroth and went under his arm.
"I got a couple guys right in front of me there," Enroth said, "so I never really saw it until it hit my chest or whatever it hit and bounced in."
The Sabres took 11 of their 25 shots in the final period, but they couldn't get the equalizer and fell to 3-4 in the last seven outings.
"There was some pushback," Foligno said of the Sabres' effort. "It took awhile. I just think they got tired from shooting so much."
Winnipeg pulled within one point of the seventh-place New York Rangers and the eighth-place Ottawa Senators by improving to 6-0-1 in the last seven games.
Eager to stay in the race, the Jets took eight of the opening 10 shots and 12 of 15 en route to a 15-4 first period advantage.
Enroth, starting in place of Ryan Miller for the third time in five games, stopped the first 21 shots he faced, including a penalty shot by Evander Kane.
The Jets finally beat him when Aaron Gagnon, alone at the top of the crease, deflected a pass with 7:52 gone in the second.
The Sabres' power play struck for the fourth straight game four minutes later.
Just 19 seconds after Blake Wheeler trucked to the penalty box, Thomas Vanek scored his 18th goal, including his ninth on the power play.
It was all the Sabres could muster against Ondrej Pavelec.
"They had that mentality of wanting to be a playoff team still, and their hopes were alive," Sabres left wing Steve Ott said. "For us, in the back of our mind it's dwelling on us that we're not a playoff team. That's probably the difference in mentality-wise. Pride-wise, you still have to go out there and battle your [butt] off."
Every appearance means something to Enroth, who sat for more than a month this season.
He returned to the ice March 7, and since then he's gone 4-2-1 with a 1.98 goals-against average and .936 save percentage in nine appearances. In his seven starts, he's 4-1-1 with a 1.80 and .953.
There was no word on who will be in net tonight when the Sabres play in Pittsburgh.
The game was originally scheduled for last Saturday, but the manhunt for the Boston marathon bombers pushed the meeting back because the Penguins and Bruins also had their schedule altered over the weekend.
"I was just trying to look at the games I'm starting, and recently all the games I've been starting I've been playing pretty well," Enroth said.
"I want to play more games and I want to be a bigger part of the team, so I'm trying to be sharp and do good every game I get."
Jets 2, Sabres 1
SLAP SHOTS: Jets pull within one of point of playoff spot, division lead as Miettinen scores winner with 7:36 left. ... Enroth starts in place of Miller for third time in five games, makes XX saves. ... Vanek scores on power play, which has found net in four straight games.
FAST FACT: Sabres goaltenders have stopped 38 of the 58 penalty shots they've faced, giving the team a career save percentage of .655.
NEXT GAME: At Pittsburgh Penguins, 7:30 tonight in Consol Energy Center.

Stage director:
Robert Wilson
Sets: Robert Wilson
Costumes: Jacques Reynaud
Music: Aleš Březina
Assistant stage director: Ann-Christin Rommen
Light-designer: Robert Wilson, AJ Weissbard
Dramaturgy: Martin Urban
The enigmatic femme fatale Emilia Marty turns the life of everyone she meets on its head. Čapek's fantasy comedy with a mysterious, almost detective-story plot takes us into the world of opera divas, the world of the degenerated aristocracy and bourgeoisie. The secret of longevity will be buried for good. The most famous of Čapek's dystopian masterpieces will be treated by Robert Wilson, the world-renowned American director and set designer, who has already staged to great acclaim for the National Theatre Janáček's Fate and in June 2010 the new production of Katya Kabanova. The lead role will be portrayed by Soňa Červená.
Photo: Lucie Jansch
Duration of the performance: 2 hours and 10 minutes, 1 intermission
The drama is staged in czech language and english surtitles are used in the performance.
"Clusters of upper- and lower- case letters glare intensively from a black area – meE Eme eeM Emm EM… In front of them marches a figure with a stick, other figures in glittering multi-hued tailcoats march past and skip behind him. Their pointed shoulders and tails resemble the shells of insects. The curtain with luminous letters rises and the figures become the protagonists of a play about an elixir by means of which it is possible to escape from time and gain immortality.
All the ensuing seconds and minutes of the latest Prague National Theatre production, in which the celebrated American stage director 'sheds light' on Karel Čapek's play The Makropulos Case, are a feast for the eyes too. The ears as well. The actors' movements are governed by strict choreography, their stylised gestures and utterances are precisely synchronised with the rhythm of the music composed by Aleš Březina and played 'live' by a trio placed in the orchestra pit. Subordinated to the music too are the continuous light transformations of the backdrop and stage. From the first to the final sequence, the current of sound, movement and light is elaborated to the tiniest detail. The artefact unwinding before us in time is aggressively beautiful. It is not a drama, it is not an opera, it is not a ballet, it is not a variable luminous graphic entity – it is all of them combined. A kinaesthetic universe pulsating on the stage."

YORK, PA – The York College women's lacrosse squad posted a 22-4 Capital Athletic Conference triumph over visiting Marymount on Friday afternoon in York. The Spartans, whose 22 goals on the day marks a season-high for the Green and White, improve their 2013 record to 8-2 overall including 2-0 in CAC play. The Saints fall to 5-3 on the season and 1-1 against conference opponents.
Senior captain Leah Schultz (Catonsville, Md. / Seton Keough) led the York attack with a game-high seven points, notching six goals and one assist. Notably each of the midfielder's goals came during the first 30 minutes of play. Those six tallies gives Schultz 12 goals in the Spartans' last two contests as she also poured in six against Messiah last Tuesday. For the season, Schultz is now tied for second on the squad with 24 goals. The seven points gives Schultz an even 150 points for her illustrious Spartan career. She has 137 goals and 13 assists in 62 career contests.
The Green and White wasted little time as they jumped out to an early 2-0 advantage 67 seconds into the game. Erica Mulford (Crownsville, Md. / Seton Keough) produced the opening salvo to put York up 1-0 after a mere 39 seconds. Kim Wayson (Harwood, Md. / Southern) followed that effort just 28 seconds later as she netted the Spartans' second for the early lead.
The story of the half however proved the Green and White's lengthy nine-goal run. Leading 3-2, the Spartans rattled off nine straight tallies, including four from Schultz, between the 22:14 and 7:37 marks of the first frame. Securing a 12-2 advantage with that run, York would go into the break owning a 13-4 lead.
The second half proved all Spartans as the Green and White netted nine more goals and did not allow Marymount to find the back of the net. Six different Spartans tallied during the latter 30 minutes, including freshman Allison Kolacy (Rockaway, N.J. / Morris Knolls) who notched the first goal of her collegiate career.
For the game, York's 22 goals is just one short of their all-time program high of 23 set during the 2008 campaign, a mark which was matched last season. Mulford and Megan Stine (Stevensville, Md. / Annapolis Area Christian) each contributed five points to that Spartan offensive effort. Mulford racked up four goals for the Green and White and added an assist while Stine provided two goals and three helpers. Sarah Castle (Annapolis, Md. / Delaware County Christian) produced a pair of tallies while collecting a career-high six draw controls.
Defensively, York caused 14 Marymount turnovers including three by Katie Vautier (Harwood, Md. / Archbishop Spalding) and three from Jocelyn Hudson (York, Pa. / Central York). Ashley Smith (Cinnaminson, N.J. / Cinnaminson) captured the win in the Spartan cage as she made a trio of saves over her 43:53 while Tina Nicklas (Catonsville, Md. / Catonsville) contributed a pair of stops over the final 16:07.
Marymount's Chelsea Ritter notched a goal and an assist for her squad while also totaling five ground balls. Molly Maher also collected five ground balls.
With a week off from games, the Spartans head to CAC foe Mary Washington on Saturday, April 6. The conference tilt is slated for a 1:00 pm start.

Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|Actions Speak Louder Than Words (cont.)
Drive your vehicle around the block to the front of the building as marked down on your HUD. When you do, you'll see the mobsters walk out of their meeting and get into the car you just strapped a bomb to. Now, it's time to follow them to their destination. They'll take a long, roundabout way to get there, and we won't even tell you where they're going to end up (so you avoid the urge to skip ahead to the location, which won't work). So, just follow them, but don't get too close, and don't stray too far. Definitely lean towards the latter, though, since the game will warn you if you're too far away, at which point you can just step on the gas and catch up.
When you arrive at your destination, which is one of the mobsters' compounds, you'll see them park their car and then they all will congregate. Now seems like a great time to detonate the bomb, since Gerry made sure you knew that none of them should live. So, get out of your car and head onto the slight hill across from the compound. Once you arrive at the designated spot, break out your cell phone and call Gerry. Choose the "Detonate" option, and the bomb will explode in glorious fashion.
The bomb will cause a massive amount of damage and take many lives, but there's going to be some remaining foes that weren't killed in the blast. The game will instruct you to eliminate any remaining foes, which are represented on your HUD as red dots. So, break out an automatic weapon and run towards the compound to mow down the stragglers. There's plenty of cover for both you and your enemies to work with due to the explosion's debris, so use it wisely, and navigate around it to nullify all enemies. Then, to fully complete the mission (at which point a phone call to Gerry will occur), grab a nearby car and lose the cops.

Tampa Bay Times
Citizens Property Insurance continued to receive sharp-tongued backlash this week over its plan to loan out $350 million from its surplus to private insurance companies.
Rep. Frank Artiles, R-Miami, wrote another scathing letter calling the plan a wasteful inside deal for insurance lobbyists, and Florida's Insurance Consumer Advocate penned a lengthy list of unanswered questions about the high-risk program.
"Quite simply, it is reckless to rush the [surplus note] program through without taking the time to vet the program and make sure that it works," wrote Artiles, who believes the plan is against the law and has spoken out forcefully against it.
The surplus note program is the latest in a series of ambitious moves by Citizens board in response to Gov. Rick Scott's mandate to shrink the size of the government run insurance company.
The plan provides low-interest, forgivable loans to private companies who agree to take policies out of Citizens for 10 years. Last month, the board unveiled and approved the plan over the course of two days, with little public input and without legislative approval.
The lack of details and the speed of the approval set off red flags for Artiles, Insurance Consumer Advocate Robin Westcott and other critics who believe the unprecedented new program is being rushed through without adequate transparency.
In his letter, Artiles notes that several of the private insurers that are looking to participate in the program have troubled financial records and could go belly up after a major storm. That would leave Citizens on the hook for multimillion-dollar losses when the loans go into default. He also points out that several insurers have agreed to take over Citizens' policies without any cash incentive, drawing into question the need for a new loan program.
"It appears that Citizens has been heavily influenced by lobbyists, as there is no rational explanation for such glaring violations of your fiduciary responsibilities to Floridians," he said in a letter that followed a lengthy public records request seeking more details on the program. "Perhaps this is why Citizens is blindly rushing the SPN Program through with no public input or substantive changes.
Citizens has argued that the program is a revolutionary way to reduce its risk at a low price, and avoid the "hurricane taxes" that would be caused if the state-run insurer ran out of money.
"We have to reduce the overall size of Citizens," said Barry Gilway, president of the state-run insurer, during a September meeting of its Depopulation Committee. "If we are to be successful in moving a large number of Citizens' customers to financially secure markets, this program is compelling."
Westcott has a number of questions about the program, and is asking Citizens to do a better job of proving that these loans make sense financially and won't end up costing the company millions.
"The Board materials that have been provided to date neither provide enough detailed information for consumers and policymakers to have a complete understanding of the program's operation and benefits nor enough transparency of the process employed to choose this program over others presented," she wrote in a letter to Citizens board chairman Carlos Lacasa.
Last month, Westcott said the program appeared to have been advanced "in a hurry."
Citizens has defended its rollout of the new program, stating that it had a public hearing back in July to discuss proposals and that all company board meetings since hen have been broadcast on statewide television.
"Before this or other depopulation programs are finalized there will be time provided for public testimony before the depopulation committee and the board," said company spokesperson Christine Ashburn.
Florida's Chief Financial Officer, Jeff Atwater, also said last month that Citizens should consider slowing down the program, which is scheduled to begin in a few weeks.
"How about slowing this thing down, make sure you can demonstrate to the public, the real mathematical value of all of this."

'Bitch'–It's an ugly word, for sure, and not one I am accustomed to using as cavalierly as some might imagine here. I always winced when I heard it growing up as a kid, mostly because I always held women in such high respect and because I was sure that in 9 out of 10 cases where the word was used it was most likely unjustified. After all, they–women–are the bringers of life and who civilize us (hopefully) through their influence in the home. Can you imagine what a mess the world would be in if it was the guys raising the children instead of the gals? The kids would speak in mono-syllabic grunts rather than full sentences and would settle all issues with their fists instead of their mouths and brains.
So my use of the word 'bitch' comes with a LOT of hesitation, believe me. Mz. Palin is the mother of 5 children, and for that she deserves mucho respecto as far as I'm concerned. She–like a good number of women in the 'Christian' west these days–could have kneeled at the communion rail of Roe V Wade on many occasions, including when she learned her most recent child would be born with Down's Syndrome. Instead, she elected to have the chalice pass from her lips, much to the rage of feminists who pay to have their children killed for matters of simple convenience in what has become something of a sacramental rite in America these days, God help us. Despite what I consider to be her seriously-misguided religious ideas concerning Israel and the Jews, I'm sure had she been around in a better time period in this nation's history–meaning a time when the Jewish state and her spies DID NOT dominate our political system–she would have been a great stateswoman.
Let me clarify further–I use that 'b' word in describing her not because she stomps around barking out orders at those around her, complaining about this and that and generally making life hell for everyone in her vicinity. In this case, the word 'bitch' encompasses that other use of the word we hear so much these days, meaning 'whore', or someone willing to lower herself (or himself) into doing immoral, degrading, and life-threatening things for a fistful of dollars, or, as in the case of our elected representatives, a fistful of political power. As she demonstrated to the world in the last few weeks since her nomination as Republican VP, she–like a streetwalker negotiating with a prospective client over what services she's willing to perform and for what price–has let it be known she is willing to go 'all the way' with Israel's demands, regardless of how raunchy or immoral these demands are. Not only towing the line with regards to the fatal myth that the Jews are 'God's chosen' and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, namely stealing the real estate between the two 'great rivers' of the Nile and the Euphrates as well as the right to murder anyone they see fit at anytime they so decide, she has also embraced the other fatal myths of our modern times as well–that Iraq was responsible for 9/11 and that Iran must be stopped at all costs from 'wiping Israel off the map'. She calls herself 'pro-life' but in perfect Zionist double-speak has signaled she will use her office to rain down death on millions, possible even billions of innocent people and all of it for the 'Jewish cause'. She calls herself a Christian and yet has promised Israel that the Jewish state will continue receiving her daily diet of 15 million dollars from good ole Uncle Sam so she can continue de-Christianizing the land made sacred by the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and in general making life for the Palestinians there a living hell.
And if these weren't bad enough, Mz. Palin has now gone on record saying that war with Russia is a real likelihood, and not 'war' as in the 'cold' one but rather the real deal, just as the Neocons have wanted since Trotsky and his gang were ousted from power in the early 20th century.
And so, at least in the political sense, Palin IS a whore, or, using the less-polite language of gangstaz and gangsta-wannabes, 'a bitch'. By her own admission, she will do anything, no matter how dirty, degrading or immoral it is so that Israel and her supporters 'get off' the only way they can, which is through bloodshed, the suffering of innocent people and corruption of otherwise healthy political systems. And in the event some don't like my choice of racy words here, remember this–I am only following the example set forth by the man destined to replace the aging, swelling John Hagee as Supreme Pontiff of the Christian Zionist movement, none other than pastor Rod Parsley himself, John McCains's 'spiritual mentor' who used the very same racy verbiage when he, speaking about America's proclivity towards killing Muslims exclaimed like a seasoned snake-handler speaking in tongues 'We're bred for battle!…We get off on war!!!
Putting this in better perspective, consider the fact that Palin 'the patriot' (as she is now being fashioned by the Jewish mass media in America) is throwing her support behind a Marxist-founded state that has–
1. Blown up American buildings in Egypt in what was known as the Lavon Affair…
2. Attacked a United States ship, the USS Liberty, resulting in the deaths of 34 American sailors with the intention of sinking her so Egypt could be blamed and WWIII started between the US and the USSR…
3. Played an active part in the bombing of the US marine barracks in Lebanon in 1983, resulting in the deaths of almost 250 servicemen…
4. Plotted to assassinate George HW Bush at the Madrid peace conference in 1991 in order to–surprise, surprise–'blame the Arabs'…
5. Stole America's most sensitive national security secrets from her spy Jonathon Pollard and then sold them to America's enemies at that time, the USSR. If indeed America finds herself at war with Russia as Israel would like to see take place, no doubt these secrets will be used to better kill America's young men and women, assuming of course that it remains a war solely outside the confines of the US, which is highly doubtful…
6. Played an indispensable role in the attacks of 9/11, so much so that hundreds–let me repeat for emphasis–HUNDREDS of Israeli spies were arrested, some in circumstances as incriminating as filming the Twin Towers coming down and cheering and who later admitted on Israeli TV that they were 'sent to document the event'…
…and this is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg. One day, after this mess is all over and assuming the US has not been reduced to ashes following a nuclear war, there will be an entire wing of the Library of Congress devoted to the problems this nation has endured as a result of Israel and her influence over our affairs.
And this folks is the ugly truth concerning Palin. As I said, were these better times, I would be getting all hot and bothered about her candidacy too, but the fact is that she is there for one reason and one reason only, which is to get an otherwise unelectable John McCain elected president so that the Jews can have the other wars they have scheduled, meaning Iran, Syria and Russia. You can bet your last dollar that were she not 'right with God', meaning were she the least bit contrary to Israel and the demands of the Jewish state, be it the war in the Middle East or whatever, she would remain in that obscure, out of the way place and no one would know Jack Squat about her.
The other thing of course to consider, but unmentioned up to this point, is the fact that I am not the only one saying this about her, that she is 'Israel's Bitch', and this is where it gets REALLY ugly. The fact is, this is what the Jewish state and her supporters think of her, their public comments notwithstanding. Yes, guys such as Brooks and Lieberman and all the others may at present be swooning and fawning all over her as if she were Esther reborn, but to them she is just a piece of gentile meat created by God to serve the Jews, what they refer to in their own parlance as a 'Shiksa'.
Yes, that's right, all you conservative, bible-believing Christians out there who think that the Jews have finally 'come around' and seen the light with regards to the things near and dear to our conservative hearts pertaining to protecting the unborn, the Constitution and 'family values' as we define them, the fact is this–She is just another Britney, Madonna, or any other Barbie doll-creation of the Jewish mass media. She–like they–has been shoved out on the stage where–politically-speaking–she bats her eyes, moans and groans, suggestively rubs her hands over her body, wiggles and jiggles and bumps and grinds in front of us and all in the interest of keeping us excited, excitable, and distracted from what the hell is really going on in the world.
And make no mistake about it. All the praise they are heaping on her right now will be short-lived. Keep in mind how the Jews welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem as a king, shouting 'Hosanna to God in the Highest' and laying palm leaves in His path and then a week later these same creatures were calling for him to be crucified and the murderer Barabbas released.
No, once Palin has been used for their purposes, meaning once they have gotten from her what they want (meaning getting warmonger John McCain elected to the presidency) the 'honeymoon' will be over and she will be told to 'get the f*** out of here bitch' just as they would to any ordinary whore whose services were no longer required.
And the real truth is, Mz. Palin has a lot more to worry about than simply being 'removed' from the political scene by any scandals that may develop around her. Washington DC–a veritable outpost (in both the literal and figurative sense) of Meyer Lansky's Murder Inc–has become a gangland where individuals live and die based upon whether they are worth more dead than alive to the powers-that-be. It may very well turn out that what is REALLY planned here is the classic one-two knockout punch, meaning Palin gets McCain elected, and then, batta-bing/batta bang/BATTA-BOOM–she is assassinated by some 'Islamic terrorist' and McCain makes Lieberman his VP (which was the original plan anyway) and then when Little Johnnie has some 'accident' befall him, Lieberman becomes prez, America falls into Israel's hands like a ripened fruit and thus all impediments removed from the Jewish state getting what she really wants. Remember–we are talking about people here who believe they are the embodiment of God and who have–not just the capability of doing the worst, but rather the proclivity. After all, lest we forget, it is the Talmud itself, the engine that drives these people and their agenda that states "Tob shebe goyyim harog', meaning "Even the best among the Gentiles deserves to be killed.'
And so, my fellow Americans, fellow humans, lovers of peace and justice, if you think my opinion and the language used in expressing this opinion too harsh concerning that 'good Christian woman' Mz. Palin who is most likely destined to be our next vice president (at least until her motorcade is blown up by Al Qaeda) what I say in my defense is thus–I am tired of the non-stop political pornography we see these days…, sick of seeing bitch after bitch after bitch paraded out before us who degrade themselves and degrade what is supposed to be their sacred duties to our nation by whoring themselves out for the benefit of the Madame of the house, Israel. I am sick to the point of vomiting over the manner our elected officials–who swore an oath to be faithful to America, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in heath, for better or for worse till death do us part as they take turns getting down on their knees and or on all fours and then perform whatever disgusting services are demanded of them by the Jewish state, an insatiable nymphomaniac for political power that never seems to get her fill. I am sick of America suffering from all the ills-political, social, cultural or whatnot, resulting from the legion of venereal diseases we have contracted through our illicit, immoral intercourse with the Jewish state. We have become a sterile, barren woman whose womb is so polluted through immoral behavior that it can no longer produce any life for our nation, meaning peace, prosperity and political stability. I long for the by-gone days of fidelity and continence of American political life, where America was first, second and third in the hearts and minds of our leaders instead of them putting the interests of a terrorist state ahead of our own. I lament the day that men like George Washington, John Adams and others–men who would never have consented to sell their country for 30 pieces of silver to ANY interest nor allow the governing infrastructure of America to be infested with spies and saboteurs as it exists today–were replaced with the likes of George Bush, John McCain and the rest.
It is something we are going to have to decide folks–we are either going to have America as a beacon of light where Lady Liberty runs the show or a brothel dominated by whores for Israel, and as one wise man once said, 'You cannot serve two masters, for you will either love the one and hate the other or hate the one or love the other.'
For myself, this latest creation in the person of Mz. Palin leaves much to be desired, no matter how low she is willing to go in debasing herself in what has become the Zionist Burlesque Revue. Give me someone not as easy on the eyes but whose love for America does not take 2nd place to the interests of a foreign power and who understands that when she takes that oath of office, what she is really saying to America is 'for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in heath, for better or for worse till death do us part.'

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce has been given the support of the club's co-chairmen David Sullivan and David Gold in an open letter published on the Hammers' official website.
The duo also confirmed in the letter that they are close to completing their first signing of the January transfer window.
Allardyce is the only manager of a side currently in the bottom five of the Barclays Premier League who was in charge at the start of the season and, following this weekend's 5-0 FA Cup thrashing at the hands of Nottingham Forest, there has been speculation the 59-year-old may be the next boss out of work.
The one bright area for West Ham has been the Capital One Cup, in which they beat rivals Tottenham in the last round to set up a semi-final meeting with Manchester City, the first leg of which takes place at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday evening.
And Sullivan and Gold have backed Allardyce to move the club up from 19th place in the table and, with the support of vice-chairman Karren Brady, they will also use their own experiences to overcome West Ham's current plight.
"We know Sam has not lost his ambition or desire and is committed to making West Ham United a great Premier League club," the open letter read.
"Sam has been handed a near impossible task of coming through three crucial games in the space of six days with a squad of only 14 fit and available senior players.
"We have experienced difficult times before and we know what will get us results - hard work, determination and perseverance.
"To that end, we are all working round the clock to do everything in our powers to help arrest our slump in form."
It is the seemingly ever-growing injury list at West Ham that has been highlighted as the main reason for the club's poor run, which has seen them fail to win a league game since November 30.
Andy Carroll has yet to feature this season while James Tomkins, Winston Reid, James Collins, Mark Noble and Ricardo Vaz Te are also injured and captain Kevin Nolan is currently banned.
Sullivan and Gold revealed in their letter that they are close to providing Allardyce with more players and believe once their current crop of crocked talent start returning to action things will get easier for the Hammers.
"Our first priority is to get our key players fit," the letter continued.
"Our record signing Andy Carroll continues to make good progress following his return to first-team training and he should be back on the pitch very soon...Trust us, Andy Carroll is desperate to play and is ready to do his bit for the team and we are confident that the return of all of our injured players will lead to an upturn in our fortunes.
"Thereafter, our second priority is to bring in the new talent needed to bolster our squad in the most needed areas.
"January is not an easy time to do business but we are pleased to confirm we are close to securing one of our key striking targets. A defender is high on the list of priorities as well and progress is being made on that front."
Everton defender Johnny Heitinga rejected a move to Upton Park last week and Allardyce has conceded attracting players to compete in a relegation battle may prove 'impossible' but, with talent such as Monaco forward Lacina Traore reportedly closing in on a loan move, any business will be welcomed by everyone involved with West Ham.

EPA Superfund Removal Action to Begin at the PandW Waste Oil Site in Brunswick County, North Carolina
Release Date: 09/20/2013
Contact Information: James Pinkney, (404) 562-9183 (Direct), (404) 562-8400 (Main) email@example.com
ATLANTA – Today, U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) officials announced plans to begin a Superfund hazardous substance removal at the P&W Waste Oil Superfund Site. The Site is located at 10518 Royster Road, Leland, Brunswick County, NC which is in Navassa city limits.
The removal action is a short-term cleanup intended to stabilize and clean up a site that poses a threat to human health and the environment. Presently, the facility is not operational and waste oil at the facility contains high concentrations of PCBs and heavy metals and is being stored in deteriorating above-ground storage tanks.
The removal action is taking place under the authority and direction of the EPA Region 4 Emergency Response and Removal Branch (ERRB). The EPA will remove contaminated waste oil, sludge and oily water stored in above ground storage tanks from the Site. EPA anticipates that removal activities will begin in October 2013.
P&W Waste Oil Superfund Site is a former waste oil recycling facility that began operation in 1993 and continued operation until the facility closed in March 2013. The site is bordered by several industrial facilities, a federally recognized wetland and the Cape Fear River. While the facility was in operation, waste oil was transported to the facility and treated to later be sold for the purposes of energy production.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israel on Monday dispatched several rescue and humanitarian aid teams to the Philippines, where at least 1,200 were killed when the country was devastated by a super-typhoon over the weekend.
Independent humanitarian organization IsraAID sent an advanced team of seven medical experts to scout out the situation and, as director Shahar Zahavi told The Jerusalem Post, "provide medical intervention."
Zahavi noted that the number one mission right now is to provide medical attention to the wounded who, following the widespread destruction, have no where else to turn.
Israel's Foreign Ministry also sent an advanced team of six officials to assess the situation before dispatching a larger mission, including expert search and rescue teams with vast experience in searching damaged building.
Israel has long been one of the first nations on the scene following major natural disasters. Most notably, Israel provided disproportionate assistance following the devastating earthquakes in Haita (2010) and Japan (2011).
Nor is Israel's assistance what Zahavi termed as "hit-and-run." IsraAID, for example, still has teams on the ground in both Haita and Japan.

A BlankTV Premiere Presentation:
The Rough Boys- "Blood, Booze And Gasoline"
Artist Bio:
The Rough Boys Born in the village of Parkdale and taking their name from a Neil Young lyric – 'All those rough boys, playin' that rock and roll' – Toronto's Rough Boys deliver unapologetic, cut-throat rock and roll with a twist.
The band's third EP, Blood, Booze and Gasoline, which is slated for a July 22, 2014 release, offers "bluesy stoner rock songs in a punk metal setting, thus putting us somewhere in a grey area of the heavy music world," explains vocalist/bassist Tom Gervais. Basically, if it's an alternative to most of today's metal genres you're looking for, you got it!
Packed with aggression and emotion, The Rough Boys' music is bound to leave you in both shock and awe while forcing you to press 'Play' again and again.
The band has shared the stage with Cauldron, Fuck the Facts, Axxion, Midnight Malice, Adrenechrome, Saigon Hookers to name a few.

CES 2010: 2010 Samsung HDTV and Remote Impresses
The first question we've been asked all this week upon returning from CES is what was our favourite technology or product we saw previewed. Although tablets and 3D tech headlined the news, the section of the show that most impressed us was at the Samsung booth, where we were constantly shooed away from photographing the tech lust inducing, Samsung C9000 and the wi-fi enabled Samsung Touch Remote. Of course, we still managed to snap photos and ask a few questions about this dynamic duo we're hoping to purchase ourselves in 2010.
Besides the ultra thin LG HDTVs (which won the crown for thinnest TVs this year), it was the Samsung sets that caught our eyes as most decor friendly, while putting out an excellent picture, thanks to LED backlighting and local dimming. Note, Samsung has taken design cues from furniture design by incorporating a television base very similar to a midcentury seating base (6500, 7000, 8000 models only), while partnering up their brushed aluminum framed flagship C9000 with a 0.3" profile that could practically used to slice tomatoes with. 46", 55" and 65" displays were all shown to be compatible with presenting a 3D image from a 3D Blu-ray source, while processing within will allow for realtime conversion of a 2D source into a 3D picture. How's that for a workhorse?
But although the Samsung C9000 was our favourite set in itself, it was really its remote control that won us over and convinced us this was the very set we want in our own homes when we upgrade from our older 720p set. The Samsung Touch Remote looks like a cross between a smart phone and a universal remote, obviously taking some design cues from Apple's finest, with the addition of touchy-feely goodness of haptic feedback. And like the iPhone, the remote operates not only as the control center of your home theater setup, but also can work as a streaming video player within the range of a wi-fi connection. So while your beautiful 65" Samsung C9000 display is playing the NBA playoffs in full hi-def glory, you can also secretly take a glance at your favourite Food Network episode via the remote's 3" screen (here's a video from CNN of the option in action). Another option provided by the remote is the ability to browse music, photos, and video files from a DLNA certified PC then swipe the chosen content in the direction of the TV to enjoy on the larger screen.
