    Beware of the woman in red.

    Is she modeling and presenting a car or a washing machine with that pose?

  3. Superman recently laid off from work due to a printmaker strike at the Daily planet ponder's a career change. His first choice was police work and his second one involved being a begger crime fighter. I love that he has a blind man's cane, cup and a creepy flasher trench coat. My question is where are the rest of the clothes. I guess, he just wears his costume and the trench coat.

  5. PITTSBURGH -- Steelers star Ben Roethlisberger, the youngest quarterback to lead a team to the Super Bowl championship, broke his jaw and nose in a motorcycle crash Monday in which he was not wearing a helmet.

     

    Roethlisberger was in surgery for much of the afternoon and into the evening, but was out of surgery as of 9:30 p.m. ET. There was no post-op update on his condition.

     

     

     

    Roethlisberger was in serious but stable condition earlier Monday afternoon, said Dr. Larry Jones, chief of trauma at Mercy Hospital.

     

    The player's agent, Leigh Steinberg, described the injuries to The Associated Press and said he did not know if there was further damage.

     

     

     

    Clayton's take

     

     

    The reason the Steelers and most teams don't put specific language into contracts about off-the-field accidents is that they don't feel it's necessary. The NFL Management Council has advised teams to use the phrasing "for any reason" in regards to a player who defaults on his contract because of an injury suffered outside of football.

     

     

    Roethlisberger's accident is a good reason why.

    "He was talking to me before he left for the operating room," Jones said before the operation. "He's coherent. He's making sense. He knows what happened. He knows where he is. From that standpoint, he's very stable."

     

     

    ESPN.com's John Clayton has confirmed that Roethlisberger also suffered a 9-inch laceration to the back of his head, has lost or chipped a number of teeth and has minor injuries to his knees from hitting the pavement. A plastic surgeon has been called in.

     

     

    Roethlisberger's mother, Brenda, was crying as she arrived at the hospital. Roethlisberger's father and sister were also at the hospital.

     

    Steelers coach Bill Cowher cut short his vacation to return to Pittsburgh, and arrived at the hospital shortly after 9 p.m. ET.

     

    Steelers president Art Rooney said the team was "encouraged by the early reports from the medical team" at the hospital.

     

     

     

    "I am sure Ben knows that we are praying for his complete recovery," he said.

     

    The 24-year-old Roethlisberger was without a helmet, police said. He has said he likes to ride without one, a habit that once prompted a lecture from Pittsburgh coach Bill Cowher.

     

    Roethlisberger's contract does not have a specific clause regarding riding a motorcycle, Clayton confirmed.

     

     

     

    Roethlisberger was between radio interviews and on his black 2005 Suzuki Hayabusa -- a large, racing-style bike -- and heading toward an intersection on the edge of downtown. A silver Chrysler New Yorker traveling in the opposite direction took a left turn and collided with the motorcycle, and Roethlisberger was thrown, police said.

    Roethlisberger was riding this motorcycle when he collided with an automobile in Pittsburgh on Monday morning.

     

    The other car was driven by a 62-year-old woman, police said. They didn't immediately release her name and no charges were filed.

     

    Witness Sandra Ford was waiting at a bus stop when she said she saw the motorcycle approach. Seconds later, she said she heard a crash, saw the motorcyclist in the air and ran toward the crash scene.

     

    "He wasn't moving and I was afraid that he had died. ... He wasn't really speaking. He seemed dazed but he was resisting the effort to make him stay down," said Ford, who didn't realize the motorcyclist was Roethlisberger.

     

     

     

    Police spokesman Lt. Kevin Kraus said police and homicide units were investigating the crash, something standard when there is an accident with critical injuries. Kraus would give no details on the extent of Roethlisberger's injuries or if anyone else was injured.

     

    The accident occurred on Second Avenue near the intersection of 10th Street in Pittsburgh, around 11:30 a.m. The route is one often taken in traveling to the Steelers' facility in the Southside section of the city.

     

     

    Several teammates, including backup quarterback Charlie Batch, linebacker Joey Porter and safety Mike Logan, arrived at the hospital emergency room but did not comment.

     

     

     

    A silver Chrysler New Yorker with damage to the front passenger fender was removed and Roethlisberger's bike was loaded onto a flatbed truck. Police were detouring traffic around the crash scene as onlookers and media gathered.

    Paint outlines puddles of oil and blood on the street where Roethlisberger collided with an automobile while riding a motorcycle on Monday.

    One of his agents, Ryan Tollner, was en route to Pittsburgh for what was supposed to be a pre-planned trip and was to arrive later Monday.

     

    In only his second year in the NFL, Roethlisberger became the youngest quarterback to lead a team to the Super Bowl championship. He was 23 when he did it last February.

     

     

     

    In May 2005, Cowher warned him about safe riding after Cleveland tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. was injured in a motorcycle accident. Winslow tore knee ligaments and was lost for the season.

     

    Roethlisberger has said in the past that he prefers not to wear a helmet when riding his motorcycle. Roethlisberger has pointed out Pennsylvania's 35-year-old state law requiring helmets to be worn was amended in September 2003 to make helmets optional.

     

     

     

    "He talked about being a risk-taker and I'm not really a risk-taker. I'm pretty conservative and laid back, but the big thing is to just be careful," Roethlisberger said at the time. "I'll just continue to be careful. I told him we don't ever ride alone, we always ride in a group of people, and I think it makes it even more safe."

     

     

     

    Roethlisberger continued to ride after Winslow's accident and that angered Terry Bradshaw, who quarterbacked the Steelers to four Super Bowl victories during the 1970s.

     

     

     

    Visiting the Steelers' training camp last summer, Bradshaw remarked: "Ride it when you retire."

  6. Trident books an occult book publisher contacted me and would like to work with them. He really liked my handmade books. http://www.tridentbooks.us/

    Congratulations! Is this a graphic design thing?

    I suspect so. I will have to send out my portfolio for review. I do have a handwritten grimoire that i would love to have translated and published by them some time int he future. It is written Sutterlin a cursive german that not many people can read anymore.

    Good luck with that.

    Wouldn't translating this grimoire spoil the effect?

    You may have a point there there weathered and cramped handwritten text does have a quality that would be lost if it were translated. However, i had some guy in Norway look it over and was overwhelmed by the magical value of the texts. It contains some very rare grimoires. I wouldn't mind being able to read them myself.

  8. On the face of it Multi-culturalism is a wonderful idea and can work

     

    How? Are there instances where it HAS worked, and if so, how? I think Josh said something about San Francisco working well multiculturally. Why is that?

     

     

    but when you look at what is happening in GErmany where two serperate societies are emerging it can make you pause. Until recently, Germany has really not forced new immigrants to learn the language and allowed them to set up seperate state sanctioned schools creating an insular community that cannot take part in a larger German society. The youths and their parents can often only find menial jobs due to lack of language skills.

    I find what is happening to England and France ironic since their former empires are coming home.

     

    I thought France was quite strict about keeping France 'French'? Does Germany now force immigrants to learn German and take part in wider German society. And if so, is this a good thing? I think it is.

    San Francisco has special language schools set up around the city that anyone can register their children for. So, if you wanted your kid to learn Japanese from say Kindergarten up you could they have any number of language schools such as Chinese, Korean etc. I do believe several of them are part of exisiting schools. Alaska also takes special care to ensure that the native language and culture of the inuit is intergrated into the curriculum. The primary problem for this is it is quite expensive and most districts don't want to spend the extra money and would settle for a regular ESL program. Hawaii is another place that has an excellent multi-cultural program for their school systems and teacher are required to take Hawaiian in college.

     

    If the recent riots in France are any indication of their fantastic ability to intergrate recent immigrants then they aren't doing a very good job.

  10. The Destroyer was an action hero appearing in Captain America. This is a really intriguing story about Hitler and his pact with the devil. Satan makes a Dr. Evil work place observation about and Hitler decides he is just not evil enough, he is the diet cola of evil and needs to be replaced by Atilla the Hun.

  11. Only a literal interpetation of the bible would lead you to believe that fofing is wrong. I just hate it when Christian's look to the Old Testement to support their backward's beliefs about fofing. Jesus loved the prostitute, the tax collector and surely those engaged in fofing.

  12. This is just about the height of super-dickery. Green Lantern seems more than peeved that the police are interupting his branding time.
