CHELSEA star Danny Drinkwater has today been charged with drink-driving after allegedly ploughing into a car when he left a party.
Drinkwater, 29, was with glamorous lawyer Beth Mantel, who he met at the party, when he is understood to have hit a Skoda early yesterday morning.
The crash left debris strewn across the country road in Hale, Gtr Manchester, and a fence was flattened, it was said.
Cheshire Police confirmed today Drinkwater had been charged with drink-driving and will appear in court on May 13.
A spokesperson said: "Danny Drinkwater was arrested shortly after 12.30am on Monday 8 April following a one-vehicle collision on Ashley Road in Mere."
If convicted, Drinkwater could face a maximum of six months in prison and a driving ban.
The star had been at the charity event in an upmarket bar called Victors, which had asked fancy dress partygoers to dress like 'chavs'.
England ace Drinkwater, solicitor Beth Mantel, 33, and Skoda driver Emma Brown, 30, were all treated for minor injuries.
It is thought unmarried dad-of-one Drinkwater and Beth left together at around 12.30am. The alleged smash was six miles from Danny's £1.8million home.
Beth, of Wilmslow, Cheshire, specialises in criminal law.
It came just hours before Chelsea's Premier League match with West Ham.
On Friday, Drinkwater was seen leaving a VIP London nightclub at 1:40am with two women, a blonde and a brunette.
A few hours later he was sweating it out at training.
The Sun on Sunday told in January how Drinkwater was using dating app Bumble to look for romance — using a picture that showed off his toned torso.
Drinkwater has been frozen out of the Chelsea side this season by Italian manager Maurizio Sarri.
The midfielder, who was signed by Chelsea for £35million after he won the Premier League with Leicester in 2016, has not played a competitive game for 13 months.
Beth declined to comment yesterday.

Healthline has published an article about our bioengineered liver project and our hopes to eliminate the liver transplant waiting list.
"We remove all the cellular material from the liver, but the architecture is still there. We have a perfect architecture of the organ," Ross, the chief executive officer of Minnesota-based Miromatrix Medical, told Healthline.
Having that scaffolding, or functional vasculature, overcomes what he says has been one of the major roadblocks in being able to engineer livers in the lab.


Non-traditional advertising typical involves advertisements found in places other than newspapers, magazine, or in general, the media. Some of the more clever advertisements seen on TV almost fall into the classification of non-traditional advertising, at least to the extent that they can be entertaining, and often very funny. Some of these advertisements save the name of the product to the very end rather than devoting the total segment to hard sell.
Barns - Those who have lived a good many years can remember some of the non traditional advertising that was done in the somewhat distant past. Once can go back to the time before our highways and city streets were cluttered with billboards. Some enterprising ad man convinced a farmer to allow an advertisement to be painted on the side of his barn, the side facing the road. Soon a great many products were being advertised on the sides of barns, with advertisements for flour and livestock feed often leading the way.
Skywriters And Banners - Then there were the skywriters, writing their messages in the sky on a cloudless, windless day. The days weren't always windless of course, and the messages had to be short to begin with, often not more than two or three words, as by the time the last word was completed, the first word was starting to break apart and drift away. Another airborne means of non traditional advertising was the towing of a banner behind a low-flying aircraft. You can still see some of this today, usually from a crowded football stadium around election time, where the advertising message begins with "Vote For...".
Goodyear - Still another innovative approach was the Goodyear blimp, which made regular trips all around the country, and the only message needed was the word "Goodyear" on the side of the blimp. Most of us never considered the fact that there was more than one blimp, and were continuously amazed that the blimp could pop up over New York one day and over San Francisco the next. Today of course there are a number of different blimps, often doing their advertising after dark with programmable flashing messages.
Burma Shave - Quite possibly the greatest venture into non traditional advertising occurred during the last few years of the 1920's with the advent of the Burma Shave signs, with catchy jingles that did word play on the act of shaving, saving the actual promotion to the last sign in the sequence - Driving Past School/Take It Slow/Let The Little/Shavers Grow/ Burma Shave. This form of non traditional advertising enjoyed a run of nearly 30 years, as the signs could be found along most major highways, and not a few country roads. It was the construction of the Interstates, which allowed automobiles to travel too fast to easily read the signs, that eventually did this form of advertising in.
From Sandwich Boards To Football Stadiums - Where 60 or 70 years ago, the sandwich board was a popular means of non traditional advertising, that what was advertised was often a local business. Large corporations didn't usually use this unique form of spreading the word. What large corporations do today, is have their logos imprinted on the sides and hoods of racing cars, on the jackets of NASCAR drivers, and on the shirts of professional athletes. Lately, to the displeasure of some, cherished ball parks and stadiums have assumed the name of sponsoring corporations, and to the displeasure of many, this practice may be spreading to college stadiums. Already, the names of most of our better known football bowl game sites, the Rose Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Orange Bowl and Fiesta Bowl are slowly being preceded by a corporate name, some of which sound downright ridiculous. Non traditional advertising however is in most instances entertaining, and often very effective, and will likely always be with us.

Logistical restructuring and road freight traffic growth: An empirical assessment
Alan C. McKinnon, Allan Woodburn
The forecasting of road freight traffic has relied heavily on the close correlation between GDP and road tonne-kilometers. It has not been rooted in an understanding of the causes of freight traffic growth. The research reported in this paper has investigated this process of traffic growth in two ways: first, by analysing official data on the production, consumption and movement of food and drink products, and second, by conducting a survey of the changing freight transport requirements of 88 large British-based manufacturers. The analysis of secondary data shows how, in the food and drink sector, the relationship between the real value of output and road vehicle-kms hinges on four key parameters: value density, handling factor, average length of haul and consignment size. An attempt is made to explain variations in these parameters. The survey of manufacturers suggests that the growth of lorry traffic is the net result of a complex interaction between factors operating at four levels of logistical management: strategic planning of logistical systems, choice of suppliers and distributors, scheduling of product flow and the management of transport resources. Changes in the frequency and scheduling of freight deliveries in response to tightening customer service requirements and just-in-time management appear to have become a more prevalent cause of freight traffic growth than the physical restructuring of logistical systems. Manufacturers anticipate that their road freight demand will broadly increase in line with sales and be largely unaffected by road transport cost increases at the levels currently proposed. The paper concludes by examining their likely reactions to a much sharper increase in the cost of road freight movement. © 1996 Kluwer Academic Publishers.

Chef Lucio Garnica, Provincetown newcomer, answers a few culinary questions.
Chef Lucio Garnica, most recently of Wequassett Resort in Chatham, will be showing off his gourmet creations at this year's Taste of Provincetown August 25. Not only that but Chef Garnica will be taking part in the cooking challenge—which will be refereed by Sweet Cheeks chef/owner Tiffani Faison. Frank Vasello of Relish, who won last year's cook-off, will be judging this year's contestants.
Chef Garnica shows off his culinary flair nightly at Sage Inn and Lounge by offering shared plates with an emphasis on local, farm fresh ingredients coupled with interesting flavor components and a creative and artful presentation. We caught up with Chef Garnica to ask him a few questions to help you get to know this Provincetown newcomer a little better!
A: Seared Scallop with Oyster Pudding and Caviar Buerre Fondue.
Q: Why is it important to source ingredients locally?
A: Supporting small, independent farmers and knowing purchasing from them is helping sustain their business and livelihood is preferable to me compared to using large, corporate-based vendors.
A: Braised cow tongue. Despite the fact I am a vegetarian, I enjoy experimenting with this somewhat unusual item. It isn't on the menu at Sage but perhaps one day it will be.
Q: What will we be able to sample from Sage Inn at Taste of Provincetown?
A: I'm planning to prepare heirloom tomato with a cucumber and vinegar gel with fennel pollen and micro greens and I'm playing around with a few other ideas I'm hoping I can execute for the event.
Q: What are you likely to prepare for yourself when you are cooking at home?
A: A simple peanut butter sandwich is my usual go-to food.
Q: What's your guilty pleasure (food-wise)?
A: Anything with Asian noodles.
Q: What excites you most about creating a menu?
A: The exciting part of menu creation is the moment of uncertainty as the diner takes their first bite—not knowing whether it will be loved or hated.
Q: If you could only cook with three tools, what would they be and why?
A: Vitamix Mixer because it's a Chef's best friend, my Tojiro knife because of the great grip and quality of the steel it's made from, and of course my trusty 10-inch tongs.
Q: What do you like most about Provincetown?
A: The profound artistic culture. As a lover of mixed media, there is artistry on so many levels inProvincetown. You can find everything from traditional artwork in the many galleries, artwork in the form of amazing tattoo artists and even street artists doing caricatures for tourists with paint markers.

Survey reveals rich don't pay enough tax
By Jessica Stanic
Many Australians believe the rich don't pay enough tax, according to a survey conducted by think tank Per Capita.
As the Federal Government considers the recommendations of a comprehensive review of the tax system by the Treasury Secretary, Ken Henry, the survey findings suggest the tax system favours the wealthy.
The survey found 53 percent of the 1,000 respondents aid high-income earners paid too little tax, while 95 percent said low- and middle-income earners paid too much tax.
"The unequivocal finding is that respondents believe the tax system favours wealthy taxpayers at the expense of lower-income ones. In short, Australians want a more progressive tax system," the survey's authors conclude.
The survey also found that the majority of respondents want the tax system to be made simpler. The most popular option was to centralise federal, state and local taxes (34 percent). This was followed by reducing the number of taxes (24 percent), a simplification of deductions, rebates and exemptions (20 percent) and a streamlining of personal tax returns (13 percent).
The co-author of the survey and executive director of Per Capita, David Hetherington, said high-income earners had access to a range of deductions and concessions that reduced the amount of tax they paid.
'These things tend not to be available to lower-income earners," he added.

Tell us about you. Where did you grow up, family, previous profession, etc?
I've lived on the same street my entire life. I moved 3 houses from my parents when I was 22 and have been there ever since. I went to a Catholic grade school and switched to a public school for high school. It proved to be a great decision for me because I completed many of my cosmetology hours during high school and it is now one of my jobs (although I'm sure most think I live at DelVal).
I started CrossFit in November 2010. I had been cutting Rob Miller's hair for a few years and one day he mentioned that he had just moved the gym he owned. He left some literature and it sparked my curiosity. I went in for a free trial (400m row, squats, box pushups, pull-ups in a band) and nearly died because of how out of shape I was. After the lightheadedness had subsided I sent Rob an email and told him to sign me up!
What was empowering about CrossFit, for you?
I came to DelVal knowing no one and totally out of my comfort zone! Something about Rob and the vibe of the gym drew me in. I was athletic while in school, but life threw me a curveball at 16 and I stopped something that I loved and never picked it back up. I could do movements assisted (largest band for pull-ups, 20in box for pushups) and I began to find out just how strong I was. Lifting a barbell was foreign and intimidating to me, but once I learned how to back squat, I figured out I was stronger than I thought. Rob once put 215 on the bar asking me to do one rep, and to his surprise (and mine) I ended up doing 3 (there is video on the FB page somewhere). My attitude started to change. I started to realized that I had been suppressing my true need to be a better version of what I had let myself become.
Many of us who've known you for a while know that you went through an intense physique transformation. Tell us about that. How did you do it? How did changing your body affect your performance?
Rob had asked me to help run the Spring challenge in 2015. I told him I also wanted to participate because I wanted to actually see the muscles I had developed. I was frustrated with myself. I had seen pictures and I didn't look like I had changed in the 4.5 years I had been doing CrossFit. I was stronger and faster, but not where I wanted to be. I was eating clean, but it was the portions and frequency that were my problem. I wasn't fueling my body for the energy I was putting out. I was over-fueling! I wanted more out of my fitness than just being strong. It was a switch in my brain, a mindset change, that made the journey possible. I never thought I would be doing bar/ring muscle ups, dips, high-volume sets of pull-ups and pushups, to name a few. This year I ranked 102nd in the Mid Atlantic region in my age group, compared to 892nd in 2016. Changing my body composition has definitely made a huge difference.
You counsel many DelVal members on nutrition and body composition change. What are some of the big 'mistakes' people make with their diets?
Bad eating habits have been ingrained in us since childhood, and as we get older, we're surrounded by fad diets and products that promise to help us lose weight. There are no quick fixes! Understanding your body and what it does and doesn't need is key.
What are the three biggest pieces of nutrition advice that you recommend for a CrossFitter?
Tell us more about your Amplify! program..
Amplify! is a habit breaking, mindset changing program. It is designed to help you understand the unnecessary food you may be fueling your body with and getting you to understand how your body reacts to the fuel you are putting in. It's understanding that our bodies are like a high end car…you want to fuel it with the highest octane for the best performance!
What's the best Matchbox 20 song and why?
I guess I'd have to say 'Push' since that is the song that lead me to liking the band. 'Overjoyed' has special meaning to me as well.
You're responsible for bringing Justin Marriott onboard at DelVal.. Not a question.. Just pointing that out.
I've known Justin since he was little. He and my daughter have been friends for their lifetime. I love seeing how much Justin has taken interest in CrossFit and how much he has grown and developed over the last few years.
Team Jason or Team Jordan?
Um, this can't even be a question. These two are amazing in their own ways and I could never choose between them. I did however try to be clever and attempted to combine the two names and it can't be done! DAMN IT!

Let's say my former tenants bought a house in June and their lease agreement goes till July 31st. They pack ALL their stuff (vacant house) and shut off all utilities and move out in June and pay for July's rent. We do a move out walkthrough on July 15th and all keys are returned. I find new tenants and sign a lease agreement with them to start on August 1st., but end up giving them the keys 2 - 3 days early. Former tenants find out I gave new tenants the keys early and now want prorated rent returned for the month of July. Note, I Did not collect any double rent for any day.
Former tenants are saying it was still their rental till July 31st although we did the move out walkthrough on July 15th.
Need help on how to best handle this situation and what is the proper law to "move out" / lease termination?
How did they find out? Are they friends with the new tenants or something?
Someone else had possession for 2-3 days, so there is a legitimate complaint there, but it's for those few days, not the whole month. Doing the walkthrough early also helps their case (although you aren't legally required to pro-rate until you have actually found a new tenant), but it does show that they did not have access to the property.
I would give them a check for the 2-3 days. Have they already received their security deposit refund?
The former tenants had a package delivered to the property and saw someone moving in stuff. I did the walkthrough and returned the security deposit on 7/15/18 (same day). They also gave me back possession of the property on 7/15/18 by returning the keys.
The payment counts as possession more than the keys do, so I would explain to them that the other tenants weren't formally moving in yet, their lease doesn't start until the 1st, they were just getting a headstart on moving some things. If the old tenant still throws a fit, refund the few days difference. They are not entitled to the whole month, not even from when they gave you the keys, just the few days the new tenant actually had access.
Agree. You need to refund at minimum the days of overlapping "possession."
Even if you didn't collect prorated rent from the new tenant, it looks like double dipping (trying to collect double rent). It sounds like you were just trying to be nice and accommodate the new tenant. Unfortunately, you can't be a nice guy in this business. You have to apply the rules consistently and fairly.

Today's Candidate:
Hairy Polarity and the Sinister Sorcery Satire
© Revival Fires International - 2004
"Hairy Polarity and the Sinister Sorcery Satire" is a full length comic book put out by Tim Todd's Revival Fires Ministries. Unlike his other entries in his "Truth for Youth" series, Harry Polarity attempts to simultaneously parody, criticize and cash-in on the Harry Potter Mania that was sweeping the nation back when this comic was first published. Despite not having a firm grasp of what the Harry Potter novels actually contain, it seems that Tim Todd and company seem to have a rather tenuous grasp on how the supposed witchcraft the novels are suppose to elicit in their readers would actually play out in real life. What we end up with is a Wonka-esque tumble down the rabbit hole that is equal parts half-baked cameos, horrible puns, and interdimensional travel that would give Dr. Who a run for his money. The $64 question seems to be "Does Tim Todd think this is how reality actually works?"

Introduction Urvy:
Hi folks, my name is Urvy Jaramillo, and I was the lucky guy to find this comic online on a website after reading the preview pics at The Truth For Youth website. I wanted to find out what's it about, so I did a search and it was there. I read it for myself and saw how ridiculous it looked! Still, I am honored to be a part of this dissection, so let's get this show on the road, everypony! (Sorry for the "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" joke. I am a brony, by the way.)
Sean:
Glad to have you on board Urvy. I would like to point out that we were aware of this comic's existence for a while, but were hesitant due to fear of copyright issues. Thankfully, we've learned that since this is both a parody and a review, it falls under fair use. Now let's just see what comedy gold we can mine out of this.
Urvy:
What? No "Truth About insert topic here" subtitle? Lord Vulgarmouth looks like an Asian version of The Joker from the 2004-2006 Batman show right here...
"Deep Fat Fry Minnie and the others!?" SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!!!
Looks like it's one of those "seems like yesterday" flashback stories, eh?
On a side note, Ari is maybe a dead ringer for Stats from that safe sex comic...
There's something really off about this panel, and I think it has something to do with the fact that Ari's looking at the camera. Hey Ari, maybe you should pay attention to your friend's imminent danger? No rush though, take your time.
It's good to know Ari has all the acting chops of a late 80's B-Porn movie actress.
AHHHH!!!!! MY EARS!!!! Way to almost make me deaf here, Ari!
Ari has a point here, he's not shooting heroin, or playing hooky or anything like that. It seems that his only crime is not making worship his only past time.
His dad must have seen "The Exorcist" after he got that demon out...
Demons, exorcisms and real witchcraft? I think it's time to update Dad's prescription.
Again, I gotta side with Ari. His parents are seriously over reacting. Saying Harry Potter encourages kids to join Satanism is like saying that reading "The Hunger Games" encourages them to kill people.
People who are unduly influenced by media tend to have things really wrong with them upstairs. But it's not the media that causes the behavior.
I know that the real Harry Potter franchise has a theme park in Orlando, but this is ridiculous here! Did the artists use a DeLorean to go to the future? I know the theme park had rides and such, but an actual dedicated store? Heck, if I went to a dedicated Ghostbusters or My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic store, I would go "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!"
"Dr. Bella Verbosi", eh? Looks like they had to combine a well-known name with a weird one.
I want everyone to take a good look at this panel, because this is the perfect example of how silly Tim Todd comes across when he tries to appeal to the kids of today. First, we have pink haired Super Saiyan Harry Potter. Guess he thought he'd also take a stab at Dragonball Z. Second, we have his terrible parody names (because kids are totally going to get the Bela Legosi reference). And finally his laughable attempts at slang. Seriously, "Phat"? This comic was printed in 2004! That word was out of style even when I was a kid!
Hang on... why is Ari flip flopping all the sudden? Just a few panes ago he was so adamant about how his parents were being oppressive, and now he suddenly agrees with them? While I did expect him to change by the end, we haven't even gotten to the actual witchcraft yet! Jumping the gun a bit aren't we Mr. Todd?
You can't rightly expect consistency in a place like this, now can you?
Hey glowy guy, are you an angel or a Yu-Gi-Oh! Cosplayer?
I dunno... looks more like something out of a Clamp manga to me.
I'm beginning to think that Ari's parents were somewhat right about this girl. She's leading Ari to break into restricted areas. Apparently she saw the sign above the door but not the big "Do not enter" warning.
It makes you wonder how this girl managed to get past the age of ten. "Stranger Danger" is a real thing, you know.
So, magic is all about guessing passwords while leaving clues behind? The person who worked on that store was running out of ideas, if you ask me.
I guess this store was designed by the creators behind Myst.
Slammin, Diggity, Buggin'? Were these phrases ever popular? Because I would have been the target age group when this book came out, and I certainly don't remember anyone saying these.
I wonder how much those books would cost on eBay? Perhaps older than the 27th issue of Detective Comics or Amazing Fantasy with Spider-Man perhaps?
Written by "Get Sirius"... I'll let Leonidas field this one.
...and just what the hell is a "Scribe Mage?"
Hmmm, those Final Fantasy mages sure get extra paydays when they write books!
Again with the misuse of speedlines. Surely someone on the creative team must have at least read one manga.
Is she calling Ari a hot dog or Winnie The Pooh?
*Cue Metal Gear Solid spotted noise*
Chanting in a employees only area? Weird, I thought it would have microwaves, vending machines and such like a normal employee lounge.
Oh my god, the creators of Harry Potter are secretly in league with Ri-Chan! (No, I'm not letting that go. It's still a stupid name)
If I join a book club, I doubt that they would do freaky ceremonies with candles and pentagrams or pink sunglasses. Also, "brainstretching"? Is that like where they take out one's brain and stretch it like putty?
Apparently Ari has "Velma's Disease". Wherein the subject is rendered completely sightless without eyeglasses.
Is that thing a cross between the giant spider from "It" and Seth Brundle's Fly form from that Fly remake?
...together at last.
"Clueless Areweus"? I know most chanting choruses in movies aren't actually speaking latin, but at least they make an effort to sound legit.
Yeah, "Pigzits University", real original there..
Wow! Ingrid the groundskeeper looks exactly the same as the cult leader we saw only a few seconds ago!
Kind of like this, I think.
I think I am thinking of that Cheers theme song when Minnie said that. Oh and Minnie, a Mr. Ron Stopable will see you in court for stealing his catch phrase.
Speaking of lawsuits, I believe that "Magical Mystery Tour" quote is trademarked, Ingrid.
So they learn everything about these kids, drug them, take their clothes off while they're sleeping, and then offer to run away from their parents and go to a world where their greatest desires come true. Am I the only one creeped out by this?
I'd like to once again reference my link above.
"If you tell anybody... about our little secret... I'll kill your dog!"
Looks like they're also stealing from Pink Floyd, but added wings to avoid a lawsuit, very clever, Mr. Todd.
What the hell is up with Ari's face in the first panel? I guess they're trying to make him look amazed, but he comes off like he's opening wide for a money shot. This comic just keeps getting more and more inappropriate.
"Yaaay. 'Donna Dommer!"
McDemonical... Sounds like a demon chain of fast food joints to me...
Ari's parents have really good timing. I wonder what would have happened if they were praying while he was in the bathroom.
Lord knows prayer can't alleviate other problems encountered while in the bathroom.
This is somehow going into "They Live" territory, maybe Tim Todd saw that flick.
"I'm here to chew gum and preach gospel. And I'm all outta gum!"
Nothing Christians like more than to feel special, huh? They have superior morality. They know things others don't. They see things others can't. Yes, dear. You are a special little snowflake.
"That thing is on the side of the plane!"
...I'll let the stupidity of this scene speak for itself.
Hick-Haven. Yeah. Right.
There goes that flying pig again, how many appearances he'll make by the time this comic ends?
Of course Minnie can cast that spell, it's not rocket science. In fact, it was really easy. Why would she even need to go to school if she already knows all the spells?
It has been pointed out in other sources that students in the Harry Potter universe don't actually study subjects like math or history as their lessons only cover magical topics. I'm guessing Pigzits is no different in this regard.
Um, did Tim Todd start stealing the "crooked villain camera shot" from Batman there?
There's no humor like good 'ole meta-humor. What's with Ari's self awareness here? This isn't Deadpool.
Of course not, Deadpool is actually funny.
So you want these two to continue writing the books? Have you ever read anything by a 14 year old? Trust me, you'd get the same quality from publishing "My Immortal".
Let's see, the spy council of ghosts consists of Porky Pig, Rapunzel, a Musketeer, and a head of a scarecrow king... Boy, even though this story is parody, there's lots of copyright violations here, then again, parody is protected by the First Amendment anyway.
Lucky for us.
"I am a Gandalf wannabe", heh, mocking Dumbledore by calling him a Gandalf ripoff, how interesting.
Wait, I thought they just told us that Hairy was fictitious. Consistent much?
Look out! They're under attack by an extinguished Balrog!
Apparently that thing is a "Trollgre."
...which I guess is what you get when a troll screws an ogre. Try getting that image out of your head.
Is that Charizard coming out of that wand to attack that demon?
Is this flying pig meant to be the Tim Todd version of Fang? I can see why it didn't catch on.
"Hurtem Hoaxus!"
I know J.K. Rowing's particular flavor of Dog Latin is nothing like actual Latin, but it passes a hell of a lot better than this nonsense.
"High Five, Man!"
Well these demons are easy to defeat: Just send The Todd after them.
There goes that pig again!
So you followed an mysterious note, signed by a fictional character, into a back alley behind the store? Jesus, this is making the bike shop owner from Diff'rent Strokes look like a calculating genius.
"Occult Odd Squad, in Color!"
Madonna Dahmer's got a bit of a mouth on him.
Tim Todd gets some serious mileage out of his character archetypes, doesn't he?
A diarrhea spell? Is this comic lacking originality, or is this me?
No, I think it's just become self aware about what it is.
"Don't strain yourself. We're just mailing this one in."
Wow, Tim's actually learned to use speed lines correctly.
So, are we back in the first page, or is the flashback thing over?
You'll notice, however, that this version of that panel has a great deal more censored vulgarities in it. I guess old Tim didn't want to turn off his prudish audience with the very first page.
Aw shit... don't tell me we're starting over!
...and the serpent eats it's tail.
I love this page. It's like that scene in Judge Dredd where they shoot Rob Schneider. Really satisfying to watch.
Now, Vulgarmouth's quoting that craptacular "Street Fighter" movie, the one with Van Damme.
"Of course!"
His curses make no sense. They're all four letter words, so it looks like he's saying: "Cause you're about to fuck meet him". Sounds like one of those dating sites you see in pop-up ads all the time.
She could said, "Supermus Smashious Brotherous!" and we could gotten something cooler, 20% cooler.
Why even bother with the Bible quote? You already told us what happened.
I'll bet it looked a little something like this, too.
Great, another "Not a real Christian" explanation. They really keep hammering us with this excuse for all the morally corrupt Bible thumpers out there.
No true scotsman, indeed.
"No more playing Christian, I want to play a real game! Find me an NES!"
Gee, another Salvation scene. I totally did not see that coming.
Couldn't they have just put the shades on while he was asleep? Just asking.
Oh My Gosh, a typical Anime shock gag!
I don't blame Minnie for being skeptical here. Ari was going on about how this was against his religion all throughout this comic, and when he tried to invoke Jesus it failed while her magic succeeded. Now he's suddenly telling her that it'll work for real this time despite not giving any proof.
"OBJECTION! You are controlled by Vulgermouth, you Gandalf wannabe!"
Way to blow your cover there dude. Minnie probably would have just believed Ari was out of his mind until you decided to attack a defenseless kid.
Man, Ari sure kicks demon ass by splatting them with one hand!
And now we're ripping off the climax from the first Matrix film.
Heavenly Guardian Defense! (Severe geek points for anyone who gets that reference).
Wow, reverse Scooby-Doo. Usually, those meddling kids unmask the monster, but it's backwards here.
There's something that's been bothering me for a while: Why did Tim Todd decide to make the JK Rowling equivalent of this world a man? Did he somehow miss the hundreds of public appearances she had made and simply assumed she was a dude?
Verbosi desperately needs to see an Orthodontist. Either than or magic himself up some dentures. Guy must be british.
OBJECTION! Tell the truth, Verbosi!
"I wrote them, you fuck fool!" Is that meant to imply that Ari is a virgin? If so, I think Vulgarmouth hit the nail on the head pretty hard.
Now, Tim Todd is stealing from George Lucas!
Ow! The puns! They hurt!
Looks like we have Eddie from those Iron Maiden albums in a witch hat, Discord from "My Little pony: Friendship is Magic", Bowser, one of the Gremlins hugging a kid, Yoda hiding in the background, and in the far right, a depressed Lord of Darkness from that "Legend" movie.
I like the Swamp Thing cameo on the far left. Sorry Tim, but that's as close to being Alan Moore as you're ever going to get.
Whoa! I didn't know that demons resemble deer on steroids!
"It is I! Thuukus! Duketh of Demonths!"
Meh, it's still a better name than "Ri-Chan".
He likes that shape best? It must have a huge wang or something.
"Hey kids! Now you can have your own demon with a book!"
It's like those crappy prizes that come in Cracker Jack boxes.
I've grown up with Harry Potter fans, several of which I remain friends with to this day. I can safely say that none of them believe for a second that they can use magic.
"A cancer so deadly, little kids will be witches and fly on broomsticks and do stereotypical witch things!" Seriously folks, I doubt reading books will make kids cast spells, fly on broomsticks (which is impossible in reality), sacrifice animals and virgins, and all that jazz anyway.
It may be impossible to fly on a broom... but don't tell that to all of those idiotic college Quiddich leagues.
So they know they're going to lose to God in the Apocalypse, but they're going to fight him anyway...why?
I guess they're just really, really, REALLY obstinate.
Do I really need to sing the Randy Orton entrance theme about hearing voices? Because, I think that song fits this panel.
A book taking place in the late 20th century, using a modern dialect of English was written 200 years ago. Uh-huh, sure.
Remember what I said on the previous panel? I think that Randy Orton song would be a better fit here, because Verbosi is really hearing voices in his head more.
"Stop whispering!!! Speak CLEARLY!!! I can't understand a damn thing you're saying!"
I think this Demon's plan is a bit over complicated. Why not just turn into a human and write all the books yourself?
"Because she prefers free choice!" So, is Tim Todd saying that freedom of choice is demonic? I don't see that in the Bible, I can tell you.
Wow, God's an asshole. "I'm not going to help Minnie because she doesn't believe in me"
"You are one big, ugly motherf***er!" Now Tim Todd is ripping off Predator!
Hang on, I thought their magic was actually the work of Demons. Why would they disobey Thuukus' commands?
"Am I still in this comic?" Yep Minnie, but we're almost done.
Now we've just done away with subtlety all together and just torn an enormous, gaping hole in the fourth wall.
So that Yu-Gi-Oh cosplayer is an angel, but why the Yu-Gi-Oh getup? And he's huge than what we saw earlier!
"Come with me if you want to live, Ari!" Another movie reference, only Tim Todd changed it to avoid lawsuits here. Pretty sneaky there, Tim!
Looks like the angel there likes to keep up on the manicures.
I know Minnie didn't see all of Thuukus' revelations. But surely she can turn her head and see a GIGANTIC ANGEL TEARING A HOLE IN THE SKY!
"This place is so magical and fun!" says the girl who just got her ass handed to her.
I wonder what that Beefed-Up Discord wannabe means by "Arrangements"...
Bow-chicka-bow-wow.
"NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!"
It finally hits the dumb broad -- "I done fuck up!"
Yeah, just leave her to die and go to hell. It's okay, she was a heathen anyway.
That giant spider has the most boring job in all of Hell. It's almost as bad as those two other guys.
"Wha? It's only a dream?" Again, more movie refs, and I thought that Titanic comic Tim Todd did was chock filled with references.
Oh come on, you're making the Latin from Asterix look like Cicero!
"Taste my Jedi push, you fugly scary hag!"
What did you do? You drug your feet the whole way, practically kicking and screaming. I'd say Minnie has to take some responsibility for her situation here.
She told her parents about the suspicious note? Why the hell didn't they stop her? They might not believe in witchcraft and all that, but surely it must have occurred to them "Gee, this sounds like the kind of note a rapist or serial killer might write!"
I wonder if Tim Todd has any commentary on medical science here... To him, I guess medical science is no alternative to prayer or something...
Yeah, and look how well that worked out for Kara Neuman.
I hate to say nice things about Tim Todd, but at the very least, he handles non-caucasians very well. Ari and his family are clearly not white, but they're depicted just like any other protagonist from his works. So bravo Tim, you're not as xenophobic as Jack Chick.
Still, that's pretty faint praise. "At least you aren't as much of a raging racist bastard as this other guy!"
I think the whole ethnicity of Ari and his family was solely so they could use the similar sounding name "Ari Potiphar" without having to explain why he's so lily white. Right thing for the wrong reason, I suspect.
Why is the TV on if a man in a coma can't hear or see what's happening? Where is the logic? I'm thinking I'm gonna have a Twilight Sparkle-esque meltdown here!
Why are they getting away with this? She was right there when the police arrived, surely she would face some kind of jail time for drugging several teens and sending them into comas!
Now, he's quoting WWE wrestler R-Truth by stealing his intro to his entrance theme! But I'll be frank, it is originally found in The Bible, but the verse escapes me for the moment.
"Lying comes naturally to the devils, politicians and TV evangelists. Oops. Scratch that last one."
I guess this comic is gonna be end in a cliffhanger, I hate these cliffhanger endings!
It's not really a cliffhanger, it's more of a bittersweet ending. Yeah, Ari managed to get out safe, but it was too late for Minnie. It's kinda sad, but that's the way life is sometimes. Kudos for not going for the Hollywood ending!
Oh, false alarm! For a minute there, I was gonna go into Flutterrage mode here!
...You didn't have the balls did you Tim?
Eat your heart out Disney.
Yes! The end of this comic! We are free from the insanity!
Why wasn't Dr. Verbosi's faith real? I'm pretty sure that realizing he was about to spend eternity in Hell would be enough to make a convert out of anyone.
No, you see, there's a difference between believing and knowing. Why there's a difference is the wallbanger part.
Oh joy, more of Minnie's slang. She about as convincing of a teenager as Abe Vigoda.
Hmmm, that is a big list of things that wouldn't happen in real life if kids saw the movies and read the books, however, he didn't include anything related to making Harry Potter fanfics. I wonder how those who are against this series think about those fanfics at deviantART and FanFiction.Net anyway...
A few of these are real, but I notice that they neglected the proper context. Like the ritual of bringing an evil wizard back through shedding of blood? Well for one, Voldemort wasn't actually dead, and two that was kind of the point, it was meant to be an evil ritual for bringing back the main villain.
Yay, fake reviews! Pity, that flying pig deserved more scenes in this scare story of a comic.
Could someone just shut Minnie up? It stopped being funny ages ago and now it's just irritating.
Well, I can give Tim Todd credit, unlike Jack Chick, he does follow what is popular in the media and manages to get the references right. Still, while parody is fun and all, this was down right insulting to fans of Harry Potter. And the overkill of movie-line ripoffs and copyright-violating fluff just kills whatever message about Harry Potter being the devil and such. If I wanted parody and spoofing done right, I would rather watch a David Zucker movie or pull out a copy of MAD Magazine. Still, it was fun dissecting this comic anyway. I wonder, which book series will Tim Todd target? Twilight? Hunger Games? Game of Thrones? (I better be quiet, don't want to give Tim Todd any ideas.)
It's an honor having me to join in on the fun! And it's a pleasure finding a scanned copy of this comic! Thanks, everypony! Now, off to Arkham City!
I honestly did not enjoy this one as much as most of Todd's other works. Usually, these are of a "so bad it's good" level of quality. But this one tried to be funny, and all its attempts ended up falling flat on its ass. Oh, and as if that wasn't enough, he had the nerve to call this a "satire". No, "The Daily Show" is satire, this is just throwing out references and bad meta humor. And that's a shame, because this is the one where you want it to be hilariously bad. Sadly, this is what we got, take it for what it is.

Adultism is "the power adults have over children". More narrowly, adultism is defined as "prejudice and accompanying systematic discrimination against young people". On a more philosophical basis, the term has also been defined as "bias towards adults... and the social addiction to adults, including their ideas, activities, and attitudes".

Etymology

Origin
The word adultism was used by Patterson Du Bois in 1903, and appears in French psychology literature in 1929, describing the influence of adults over children. It was seen as a condition wherein a child possessed adult-like "physique and spirit", and was exemplified by,
A boy of 12 and a girl of 13 who had the spirit and personality of adults.... They were placed in institutions because of stealing and prostitution. These forms of precocity lead the individual into difficulties and should be recognized early in the development of the individual.

This definition was superseded by a late 1970s journal article proposing that adultism is the abuse of the power that adults have over children. The author identified examples of adultism not only in parents but in teachers, psychotherapists, the clergy, police, judges, and juries.

Usage
Adultism is defined as the "behaviors and attitudes based on the assumptions that adults are better than young people, and entitled to act upon young people without agreement". It is also seen as, "an addiction to the attitudes, ideas, beliefs, and actions of adults." Adultism is popularly used to describe any discrimination against young people and is distinguished from ageism, which is simply prejudice on the grounds of age, although it commonly refers prejudice against older people, not specifically against youth. It has been suggested that adultism, which is associated with a view of the self that trades on rejecting and excluding child-subjectivity, has always been present in Western culture'.

Fletcher suggests that adultism has three main expressions throughout society:
 Attitudinal Adultism: Personal feelings, assumptions, and beliefs that form a person's attitudes about young people. This is also called internalized adultism.
 Cultural Adultism: The shared attitudes, including beliefs and customs, promoting the assumption that adults are superior to anyone who is not identified as an adult, simply because of their age. This is also called social adultism.
 Structural Adultism: The normalization and legitimization of historical, cultural, institutional and interpersonal dynamics that routinely advantage adults while producing cumulative and chronic adverse outcomes for young people. This is also referred to as institutional adultism.

A study by the Crisis Prevention Institute of the prevalence of adultism found an increasing number of local youth-serving organizations addressing the issue. For instance, a local program (Youth Together) in Oakland, California, describes the impact of adultism, which "hinders the development of youth, in particular, their self-esteem and self-worth, ability to form positive relationships with caring adults, or even see adults as allies", on their website.

Similar terms
Adultism when used to describe the oppression of children and young people by adults, which is seen as having the same power dimension in the lives of young people as racism and sexism. It is treated as a generalization of paternalism, allowing for the broad force of adulthood beyond males, and may be witnessed in the infantalization of children and youth. Pedophobia (the fear of children) and ephebiphobia (the fear of youth) have been proposed as the antecedents to adultism.  Gerontophobia, or its antonym, gerontocracy, may be extensions of adultism.

Similar terms such as adult privilege, adultarchy, and adultcentrism have been proposed as alternatives which are more morphologically parallel. The opposite of adultism is jeunism, which is defined as the preference of young people and adolescents over adults.

National Youth Rights Association describes discrimination against youth as ageism, which is any form of discrimination against anyone due to their age.  Advocates of using 'ageism' also believe it makes common cause with older people fighting against their own form of age discrimination. However, a national organization called Youth On Board counters this, arguing that "addressing adultist behavior by calling it ageism is discrimination against youth in itself."

Causes
In his seminal 1978 article, Flasher explained that adultism is born of the belief that children are inferior, professing that adultism can be manifested as excessive nurturing, possessiveness, or over-restrictiveness, all of which are consciously or unconsciously geared toward excessive control of a child. It has been associated with psychological projection and splitting, a process whereby 'the one with the power attributes his or her unconscious, unresolved sexual and aggressive material' to the child – 'both the dark and the light side...hence the divine child/deficit child' split.

Recently, theologians Heather Eaton and Matthew Fox proposed, "Adultism derives from adults repressing the inner child." John Holt stated, "An understanding of adultism might begin to explain what I mean when I say that much of what is known as children's art is an adult invention." That perspective is seemingly supported by Maya Angelou, who remarked:

Evidence of adultism
A 2006/2007 survey conducted by the Children's Rights Alliance for England and the National Children's Bureau asked 4,060 children and young people whether they have ever been treated unfairly based on various criteria (race, age, sex, sexual orientation, etc.).  A total of 43% of British youth surveyed reported experiencing discrimination based on their age, substantially more than other categories of discrimination like sex (27%), race (11%), or sexual orientation (6%).

Classification
In addition to Fletcher, other experts have identified multiple forms of adultism, offering a typology that includes the above categories of internalized adultism, institutionalized adultism, cultural adultism, and other forms.

Internalized adultism
In a publication published by the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, University of Michigan professor Barry Checkoway asserts that internalized adultism causes youth to "question their own legitimacy, doubt their ability to make a difference" and perpetuate a "culture of silence" among young people.

"Adultism convinces us as children that children don't really count," reports an investigative study, and it "becomes extremely important to us [children] to have the approval of adults and be 'in good' with them, even if it means betraying our fellow children. This aspect of internalized adultism leads to such phenomena tattling on our siblings or being the 'teacher's pet,' to name just two examples."

Other examples of internalized adultism include many forms of violence imposed upon children and youth by adults who are reliving the violence they faced as young people, such as corporal punishment, sexual abuse, verbal abuse, and community incidents that include store policies prohibiting youth from visiting shops without adults, and police, teachers, or parents chasing young people from areas without just cause.

Institutional adultism
Institutional adultism may be apparent in any instance of systemic bias, where formalized limitations or demands are placed on people simply because of their young age. Policies, laws, rules, organizational structures, and systematic procedures each serve as mechanisms to leverage, perpetuate, and instill adultism throughout society. These limitations are often reinforced through physical force, coercion or police actions and are often seen as double standards.  This treatment is increasingly seen as a form of gerontocracy.

Institutions perpetuating adultism may include the fiduciary, legal, educational, communal, religious, and governmental sectors of a community. Social science literature has identified adultism as "within the context of the social inequality and the oppression of children, where children are denied human rights and are disproportionately victims of maltreatment and exploitation."

Institutional adultism may be present in:

as well as Legal issues affecting adolescence and Total institutions.

Cultural adultism
Cultural adultism is a much more ambiguous, yet much more prevalent, form of "discrimination or intolerance towards youth". Any restriction or exploitation of people because of their young age, as opposed to their ability, comprehension, or capacity, may be said to be adultist. These restrictions are often attributed to euphemisms afforded to adults on the basis of age alone, such as "better judgment" or "the wisdom of age".  A parenting magazine editor comments, "Most of the time people talk differently to kids than to adults, and often they act differently, too."

Results

Social stratification
Discrimination against age is increasingly recognized as a form of bigotry in social and cultural settings around the world. An increasing number of social institutions are acknowledging the positions of children and teenagers as an oppressed minority group. Many youth are rallying against the adultist myths spread through mass media from the 1970s through the 1990s.

Research compiled from two sources (a Cornell University nationwide study, and a Harvard University study on youth) has shown that social stratification between age groups causes stereotyping and generalization; for instance, the media-perpetuated myth that all adolescents are immature, violent and rebellious. Opponents of adultism contend that this has led to growing number of youth, academics, researchers, and other adults rallying against adultism and ageism, such as organizing education programs, protesting statements, and creating organizations devoted to publicizing the concept and addressing it.

Simultaneously, research shows that young people who struggle against adultism within community organizations have a high rate of impact upon said agencies, as well as their peers, the adults who work with them, and the larger community to which the organization belongs.

Cultural responses
There may be many negative effects of adultism, including ephebiphobia and a growing generation gap. A reactive social response to adultism takes the form of the children's rights movement, led by young people who strike against being exploited for their labor. Numerous popular outlets are employed to strike out against adultism, particularly music and movies. Additionally, many youth-led social change efforts have inherently responded to adultism, particularly those associated with youth activism and student activism, each of which in their own respects have struggled with the effects of institutionalized and cultural adultism.

Academic developments
A growing number of governmental, academic, and educational institutions around the globe have created policy, conducted studies, and created publications that respond to many of the insinuations and implications of adultism. Much of popular researcher Margaret Mead's work can be said to be a response to adultism. Current researchers whose work analyzes the effects of adultism include sociologist Mike Males and critical theorist Henry Giroux. The topic has recently been addressed in liberation psychology literature, as well.

Addressing adultism
Any inanimate or animate exhibition of adultism is said to be "adultist". This may include behaviors, policies, practices, institutions, or individuals. It is legal in most countries, by parent to child under 18.

Educator John Holt proposed that teaching adults about adultism is a vital step to addressing the effects of adultism, and at least one organization and one curriculum do just that. Several educators have created curricula that seek to teach youth about adultism, as well. Currently, organizations responding to the negative effects of adultism include the United Nations, which has conducted a great deal of research in addition to recognizing the need to counter adultism through policy and programs. The CRC has particular Articles (5 and 12) which are specifically committed to combating adultism. The international organization Human Rights Watch has done the same.

Common practice accepts the engagement of youth voice and the formation of youth-adult partnerships as essential steps to resisting adultism.

Some ways to challenge adultism also include youth-led programming and participating in youth-led organizations. These are both ways of children stepping up and taking action to call out the bias towards adults. Youth-led programming allows the voices of the youth to be heard and taken into consideration. Taking control of their autonomy can help children take control of their sexuality, as well. Moving away from an adultist framework leads to moving away from the idea that children aren't capable of handling information about sex and their own sexuality. Accepting that children are ready to learn about themselves will decrease the amount of misinformation spread to them by their peers and allow them to receive accurate information from individuals educated on the topic.

Here is a mini update from the first post, Low Poly Game Character Creation Pt. 1, to follow up on some feedback given over on the Pixelation forums. The initial progress pushed the arms and legs toward being awkwardly lanky. So I took a couple steps backward in order to proceed with what I feel wool be a better model in the end.
New adaptions include teeth, hair and eyebrows, belt, suspenders, eyelids, legs and arms reverted to pre-sculpt shape and shortened up. I felt the sculpting on the pants and shirt was too wildly wrinkly anyway, so if I go back to give them any kind of skulpting detail, it will be minimal to keep a smooth and toony look to it. I also reversed the direction the cuffs on the shirt was facing.
So white, looks like he saw a ghost.
A little more to go, some touch-ups here and there and we should be close to moving to the next steps and converting this into a low poly mesh with high poly texture information.

Sierra Leonean child gets a medical gift in Montgomery
A case of the measles when she was just 6 months old left Jarai Bah nearly blind, with the corneas in both eyes scarred white.
Now 7, the Sierra Leone native has regained much of her vision in one eye and some of her brown eye color thanks to two free surgeries performed by an ophthalmologist at Washington Adventist Hospital in Takoma Park and orchestrated by a relative living in the United States.
"We are so happy now," said Juldeh Bah, Jarai's mother, who has been in the country for seven months with her daughter.
Last May, in the first operation, Stephen Ginsberg transplanted a new cornea into Jarai's right eye, improving her vision from between 20-200 and 20-400 to between 20-80 and 20-100, he said. He also removed white scar tissue. She has no vision in her left eye, but in a second procedure Feb. 6, Ginsberg straightened the muscles behind that eye to keep it from drifting, as happens after years without use, and injected it with dye to improve its color.
Early in the decade, a civil war in Sierra Leone forced Jarai's parents to flee with Jarai and her older brother to neighboring Guinea. There, Jarai contracted measles and suffered corneal scarring, in which transparent tissue that covers the eye and lets in light becomes dried and covered in white scar tissue. Corneal scarring is the most common cause of childhood blindness.
When the family returned to Sierra Leone, doctors were unable to help Jarai and, at first, wrongly diagnosed cataracts.
"We never had a good doctor to take care of her," said Juldeh Bah. Without proper medical treatment, it seemed unlikely that Jarai's condition would ever improve.
But last year, the family was visited by Henry Sloe, a cousin of Jarai's father, who left Sierra Leone in 1996 and lives in Glenn Dale in Prince George's County. Sloe said he would find a way to help.
When he returned to the United States, Sloe approached Ginsberg, a resident at Somerset House, a condominium complex in Chevy Chase where Sloe is director of operations. Ginsberg specializes in corneal transplants.
"He said, 'If you can get her here, I'll do the surgery,' " Sloe recalled.
Getting Jarai and her mother to the United States took some work, Sloe said, but he secured a humanitarian visa with the help of a lawyer and congressional staffer who lived at Somerset. Residents at Somerset donated more than $11,000 for airfare and expenses, said Sloe, who has housed Jarai and her mother for the past seven months.
On Feb. 6, the day of the second surgery, Jarai, her mother and Sloe sat in a waiting room at Washington Adventist, where they are now well known to the staff.

There's zero commentary necessary here. I saw this 31 second video and I was dying laughing for 24 seconds of it. I then proceeded to watch it 8 more times. How great is the music? "Please…hold the door for cripples." If you don't think this is funny, you're no lobster… you're no lobster at all.

First of all, it's a good idea to keep your mind on your comb selection. Using a comb with sparse teeth, you can largely eliminate this problem. Fibers made of more natural materials instead of plastic combs are the appropriate choice for the prevention of elixir. Using wooden combs you can overcome this problem. In addition to card selection, you should also choose shampoos that have a reducing effect. It is also useful to wash your hair, dry it, and be polite when shaping it. Practices that you will do with rough movements, hurting, can cause your hair to become much more electrified and bloated. If you are washing your hair too much, this may be the reason for your hair to become electrically. It would be beneficial to get yourself used to washing your hair every other day or every 2 days.


Boxing and the MMA have virtually taken over the world of online gambling. The offshore bookies are raking in the bucks and there is no sign of slowing. Literally billions of dollars are spent every year betting on this sport. The question is, are you getting in on it? There is simply too much money flying around out there for you to not be in the middle of this windfall. You may remember the 1990's and the early 2000's. The time was booming, there was credit to be found everywhere and it was cheap. Practically anybody that claimed to have a job could buy a house and interest rates were rock bottom. Folks were making money hand over fist, those were the financial days for sure. The financial times of the 90's and early 2000's is where boxing is now!
The MMA has taken off at least a dozen times in the last three or four years and the revenue has doubled. The fighters are better, the main events are paying more than ever before and the undercards are paying more. Who knows how long the madness will continue but right now, who cares? The good news is, the bigger the MMA gets, the more fantastic fights there are and this means betting options.
The betting options are endless, the offshore sports betting sites have opened the door like never before. They have opened the door because they want you to sign up and deposit with them, they want your hard earned money. Before you take the plunge and make the commitment to a bookie or several bookies, there are a few questions that you should ask, and by ask, we mean literally. Call a potential bookie and ask them about their policies. If they do not have a toll free hotline to call from the United States, then do not do business with them. You should be able to call you bookie anytime you feel the need.
Look for a sportsbook that has a great reputation for honesty and transparency. Remember, you are in the gambling game to make money, not lose it so you want to deposit with a company that is known for quick and no hassle payouts. You want an honest online bookie, this is your first and foremost priority. Don't settle for less.
Find a sportsbook that is committed to offering you the very best lines and odds available. You want the best that you can get in this department. Do your research and find the best. A nickel here or ten cents there can save you a small fortune over the long haul.
Look for a top sportsbook that offers a great player bonus, there is a lot of money to be made betting boxing. Look for the best bonuses available and rollover amounts that won't break the bank.
Customer service, do they offer it and do they help you? What about English, do they speak it? It is very important that your bookmaker staff has English speaking agents and even better is the agents know sports.
What about a reputation for uptime. If they are honest they will tell you what their uptime is on average and it shouldn't be less than 99%. Don't sell yourself short on this one.
The beauty of betting on the MMA and Boxing; it never stops! There is action every weekend and you must find it. Make sure your online bookie offers all of he event that the oddsmakers have a line for. Most of all, make some serious money this year!

The coldest air since 1996, if not longer is on tap for early next week. All time records are in danger Sunday night through Tuesday.
In the meantime, a weak clipper system will pass mainly to our north on Saturday which will help to set the stage for extreme cold, straight from the North Pole to come roaring in starting Saturday night. Most of the front passes through Sunday leading to dropping temperatures across most of the Midwest during the afternoon. The coldest of the days looks to fall on Monday.
Here are the latest numbers off the 12z European model from early this afternoon. Its nothing new to places such as northern Minnesota, but what is new is the fact the cold will run 100s of miles further south. Wind chills will range from -30 to -55 during much of the time period of Sunday night through Tuesday morning. Highs will struggle to reach single digits below zero all day on Monday leading to possible records. The all time record high minimum is -11 for Chicago, while this model projects a high of -12, a new record, wow!
Here you see a map of 850mb temperatures (about a mile above the surface) showing the extent of the cold. For a simple perspective, the bright pink on the map is usually reserved for the north pole and part of Siberia. In fact this is what we call the "Polar Vortex." Usually this feature sits on the North Pole, spins around the globe and traps such cold in Northern Canada and Russia. However, on Monday it is poised to move south into the United States, and dominate our temperatures for a few days, before sizzling away Wednesday and Thursday!
Now for the maps. Lets start with what will likely be the coldest day for most places, Monday. On the left you see the latest 12z EURO model run displaying what this computer model has for high temperatures on Monday. Much of these are records. And no, these are not wind chills (see below), they are actually HIGH temperatures. With winds in the 10-20mph ranges, wind chills will be substantial, with widespread wind chill warnings likely during this time. Expect multiple schools to shut down as dangerous "feels like" temperatures overspread the Midwest.
Now we have made it to another historic portion of this post. On the right you will see the 12z EURO forecasted low temperatures Monday morning, or Tuesday morning. Many of these numbers are all time record lows! Low temperatures are tougher to forecast this far out, as clear skies and light winds will be the determining factor as to how cold it can get. So the map on the left is one solution as to low temperatures. Be sure to stay tuned for updates, and plan accordingly if you are out and about during this stretch!
Finally, you made it to the piercing wind chill factors. Below is a snapshot of the wind chills Monday morning assuming reasonable wind speeds. In fact, they could be colder with the gusty winds expected. These are serious values, and can cause frost bite in 4-7 minutes! Take precautions.

FarmBorough draws 40K, plans return
Monday, June 29, 2015 – New York City hosted its first-ever country music festival this past weekend, as the inaugural FarmBorough drew more than 40,000 fans and apparently did well enough to return next year.
FarmBorough, a collaboration between Live Nation Entertainment and Founders Entertainment, kicked off the three-day, two-stage festival taking over New York City's Central Park on Good Morning America's Summer Concert Series, with a performance by Friday's headliner Dierks Bentley, Kip Moore, Maddie & Tae and Canaan Smith. All played on Friday night along with RaeLynn and Joe Nichols.
The Next From Nashville stage included Jon Pardi, The Cadillac Three and Chris Stapleton.
Brad Paisley headlined Saturday's set despite a downpour. He sang "Whiskey Lullaby" with Mickey Guyton, who sang earlier in the day. Dwight Yoakam, Justin Moore, Charlie Worsham and Brandy Clark sang as well. The second stage featured Sturgill Simpson, Wade Bowen, Dallas Smith and Striking Matches.
Luke Bryan closed out the festival on Sunday with a hit-filled set. Randy Houser, Dustin Lynch and Cassadee Pope also entertained the crowd. The Next From Nashville stage included Logan Mize and The Railers.
"This weekend was a dream come true," said Brian O' Connell Live Nation President of Country Touring. "It really doesn't get bigger than New York City, and the way that the country community here and those who travelled to get here, took a chance on us and embraced FarmBorough in its first year has astounded me. I can't say it enough how thankful I am to all the fans and the artists who joined in with me on this."
"We couldn't be more thrilled with the success of FarmBorough's inaugural year," said co-founder and partner at Founders Entertainment, Jordan Wolowitz. "New York City fully embraced the country community and FarmBorough proved that it's here to say. We can't wait for 2016."

CD reviews for Brad Paisley
Brad Paisley isn't content to keep doing the same old. In fact, this is probably the least traditional country outing in his career. Yet, a few things remain intact - great guitar playing and singing and a sense of humor without being too kitschy. In fact, Paisley manages to combine the ultra serious with his typical sense of humor. The seriousness is never more apparent from Paisley than on the controversial Accidental Racist with LL Cool J, who helped write and perform it. »»»
Hits Alive
Brad Paisley's new live hits CD is a bit of a tease. That's because it only goes half way in replicating the true live Paisley experience. Watching the accompanying concert videos at a Paisley show, whether the venue screen is showing Andy Griffith during Waitin' on a Woman or the montage of recently-deceased celebrities that accompanies When I Get Where I'm Going, reveal how Paisley simply must be seen to be fully enjoyed. Nevertheless, Paisley in concert and captured on »»»
American Saturday Night
Brad Paisley has grown up on his eighth album. Yes, the West Virginian maintains a sense of humor, but apparently aging has left its mark on a maturing singer who has never forsaken his country roots. That is ever so apparent in songs like Anything Like Me and Oh Yeah, You're Gone. The former finds Paisley looking at the passage of time through his son's life in a tender, but not sappy look. On the latter, he's a five-year-old boy who doesn't get what he wants, which his grandfather notices. »»»
When The Mavericks call an album "Play The Hits," It really should be qualified as "Play The Selective Hits" because this band has never been especially interested in performing only what's commercially viable. »»»
