text: How To Turn Your Farm Into a Research Farm January 17, 2013 07:01 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Ben Potter AgWeb Social Media and Innovation Editor Email A few basic precision ag tools and some persistence is all it takes. On-farm research is a valuable way to get highly local, relevant information that can help you improve your farming operation. And Randy Taylor, Oklahoma State University professor and machinery Extension specialist, says setting up on-farm research might be easier than some people realize. "We can turn your entire farm into a research farm if you have variable-rate equipment and a yield monitor without even slowing down your operation," he says. "We can deal with the data later." Taylor adds that on-farm research shouldn't be confused with on-farm demonstrations. "The purpose of an on-farm demonstration is to show you a technology that has already been proven through research," he says. "It's not to answer questions – it's to showcase that something works." On-farm research, on the other hand, gives farmers to ask a question of interest that is site-specific and get it answered. The best questions involved a yes/no or A/B answer, such as asking whether inoculated soybeans yield better than un-inoculated beans, or if herbicide A performs better than herbicide B, Taylor says. Interpreting data can be challenging, but if farmers get their agronomist, consultant or Extension specialist involved early in the process, they can all work together to design a study that has the best chance to succeed. The most common pitfall is adding too many variables into the study, Taylor says. "Keep it simple," he says. "These trials require time, energy and money, and the last thing you want to do is implement it poorly or make it so complicated you can't analyze the results." Despite the effort involved, Taylor says on-farm research can help answer questions that could lead to profitable results. Back to news

Reviews for all Roomzzz Aparthotels
Great location, fantastic room - loved having the Mac.
The Times Online mystery shopper recently awarded Roomzzz 9 out of 10. His wife said 'Blimey - this is more than we have at home.'
We were very very impressed with Roomzzz. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms extremely clean and well kitted out. Amazing shower! We think serviced apartments are far better value for money than just a hotel room and we'll be booking Roomzzz again when next in Leeds.
An excellent place to stay with exceptional and innovative use of the room space provided combined with an elegant contemporary design. Everything you could possibly need is provided.
Gorgeous, clean and comfortable!
What a wonderful inner city hotel stay. Home away from home!
As this was our first stay in an apartotel we were unsure as to what we might find. However what we did find was a real treat! A luxurious apartment, finished to a high standard with fantastic facilities. We checked in and were greeted by David, the Hotel Manager, who made us feel very welcome. We spent the afternoon chilling in the apartment, playing on the Apple Mac and watching TV. We spent the night out in Leeds and the hotel is excellently located close to the shops, bars and restaurants. It was a fantastic stay in a very smart place. Would definitely return!
Seems like the ideal option for both families visiting the city and for businesses looking to put up staff in the area. A relaxed 'at home' experience with all the little extras that you expect from a hotel. The location is ideal - opposite a massive car park and near to the train station. Slap bang in the middle of great shops and great restaurants. Thank goodness for lazy Sunday checkout!
Our experience at Roomzzz has been excellent. It has a fantastic layout and location and meets all the requirements of an inner city short stay. We have no reservations in recommending this to our clients and friends.
We were very impressed with Roomzzz. The room was spacious and well kitted out, with a lot more equipment than a standard hotel. We stayed for one night and I can imagine how this concept would be even better when staying for multiple nights or weeks! The staff were extremely helpful and the location is fantastic. I will be recommending Roomzzz to friends and business associates.
Stayed at Roomzzz in Leeds for one night, rooms were fab, bed was so comfy, staff friendly and had a lovely stay. Would use the hotel again without a second thought.
A very good concept and better than any standard type of hotel in the city. I will recommend it to my co-directors and clients.
Great location, friendly staff and a beautifully finished apartment.
Extraordinary nights stay in the heart of Leeds City Centre. This hotel could not be better located within a couple of minutes walk from the train & bus stations, shops, clubs, bars, restaurants, everything is literally on your doorstep. The rooms are really well designed with a contemporary flow but not going over the top. As an aparthotel, the rooms literally become a home away from home supplying you with all the amenities one could need or want. Fantastic bathrooms with powerful massaging showers and a large bath for a long soak. I would definitely recommend this aparthotel to friends.
Great nights sleep in the heart of the city!
Fantastic location, within walking distance of anything you could want in Leeds. My room had everything I could want for a month's stay let alone one night. If John & Yoko were still around I'm sure they'd have a 'bed-in' at Roomzzz. Why else would you want to get out of this comfortable bed?!
I just love how its sooo modern and clean very impressive as you walk in your room we had our daughter's 18th in the Leeds one we had a fantastic break the staff were lovely to we had a bit of confusion with our rooms booked and they were great ...I would just love to go back asap were not having a holiday this year and a weekend would be just great x
Love the whole Roomzzz concept, having stayed at all of the other Roomzzz locations, we stayed here for 1 night in January, we paid £75 for the Liberty Suite on the promo offer.
The female on reception was welcoming and polite, check in was quick and easy and our room was right next to reception.
When we got in our room it was cold, due to the high ceilings and BIG windows, but closing the curtains made it a bit warmer.
The room itself was split on 2 floors, the lounge, kitchen & dining area then down the stairs to the bedroom and bathroom. The room was well equipped, a fully fitted kitchen, dining table and chairs and comfy seating with TV, the bedroom had a comfy bed with another TV.
Only thing I could recommend is heating in the main room.
Ideal location within minutes of Newcastle train station, shops and local bars/restaurants.
Stayed here for one night and wished we had stayed for more. we were stunned when we got into our room at the size of it, kitchen, dining area, lounge suite and then to discover the stairs that lead down to our bedroom which was huge as well.
These are new rooms and have been fitted out to a really high standard.
we were a bit concerned when we booked whether the trains would be a problem. well you are aware of them, but they are not intrusive and don't go by that often, we had a great night's sleep.
We will definitely be staying here again and will be looking out for other Roomzzz hotels whenever we travel.
They have set a really high level of accommodation for the price!
Excellent! Very clean and modern. All facilities we expected and more! Will definitely be booking again, and will recommend to others.
Perfect location. Great facilities. Easy parking. Very clean and well set up. Much more convenient than a hotel.
I booked these apartments for my hen night so there was a big group of us across a few apartments. It was really smart and clean. Great facilities would be ideal for a family group - we had a kitchen and living room.
Excellent place to stay. You will love it...
Fantastic place to stay. Very modern stylish and really well appointed. Everything was sparkling clean. Love the concept of short stay self catering serviced apartments. Good location - just a short bus trip to city centre. It was a delight to stay there.
Gorgeous. Spot on. The apartments are bigger than a hotel room. More light, more space, more furniture and a kitchen. Friendly reception staff.
The hotel was perfect! Staff were really friendly room was amazing!!!
Roomzzz hotels are set apart from the rest, they are stylish and contemporary and simply the best. Great for shopping, dining or relaxing in fabulous locations, Whether your a housewife or professional, no matter your vocation. They offer rewards to their customers by providing great value for money, they keep us attracted like a bee is to honey. The facilities and service is a ten out of ten, that's why I keep coming back again and again!
Fantastic place to stay. Would definitely recommend Roomzzz.
Excellent hotel. Would definitely stay here again on the next visit to Leeds.
Spacious well equipped room with large comfortable bed & state of the art technology. Would certainly recommend it to others.
I really enjoyed my stay at Roomzzz. The staff were friendly, helpful and efficient; the apartments very comfortable and a good size. I would definitely recommend Roomzzz for both business and leisure trips as it is ideally situated close to all both the nightlife and business districts.
We had a wonderful stay and the best nights sleep in ages. We found the reception area welcoming and the staff friendly. The stylish furnishing gives a sophisticated first impression for this Aparthotel. Our room had everything to hand for a comfortable stay. Plush, modern, clean and quiet, perfect for relaxation. We look forward to visiting again and recommending Roomzzz to all of our friends.
As this was our first experience of staying in an aparthotel we were a little unsure of how things would work out. Having stayed in many 4 star hotels, this is quite definitely a match and a very much more relaxing experience - you don't feel obliged to "dress up" for breakfast, you can make your cereal / toast / tea etc and keep your PH's on and catch up with the morning news on TV. All the facilities are excellent and we enjoyed a good night's sleep. We will definitely recommend Roomzzz to friends, family and colleagues.
Love it! Perfect for chilling and choosing...stay in - go out - have a snack - have an intimate dinner!
Excellent location, facilities and lots of style. Will recommend Roomzzz to others.
Big room, lovely decor, nice and quiet. A two minute walk from the city centre, great facilities and a hot shower - perfect!
Offering good value for money and great discounts on my loyalty card ....for luxurious and spacious living, it's not hard.....I know Roomzzz apartments fulfils all my needs....For a stylish and fun night out in Leeds.
Great concept in a fantastic location. High quality kitchen appliances and furnishings mean you could easily survive a couple of weeks in chic city-living comfort.
Great city centre location, fab, spacious, modern apartments with everything you could need. Large comfortable bed and amazing shower. Very clean and excellent staff. Highly recommend Roomzzz!
Great concept and I would always choose to stay here rather than a traditional hotel. A home away from home with all the mod cons but in the heart of the UK's best city. Aparthotels are definitely the way forward!
A first class experience! Modern, stylish and comfortable with all the hi-tech gadgets you need for keeping in touch with the outside world. We were impressed with how spacious the apartments are and I am sure they will be a big hit with the business community.
If home was like this you wouldn't want to go away!
I like Roomzzz because... The website looks amazing. I have never stayed in a Roomzzz hotel yet and want to see if the real thing matches the warm images online. I have a friend in Leeds that has been inviting me up to see his new Coffee Shop so this would be a great opportunity to catch up with a very dear friend.
Roomzz Manchester is a very special place located right at the heart of the city.
What a find! We were welcomed by warm friendly and helpful staff. The apartment was amazing, immaculately laid out, clean and we were totally bowled over by it. The kitchen, dining area and comfy seating space were upstairs and our bedroom downstairs! The bedroom was huge! The décor is very rich and luxurious. 2 days really was not enough! Thanks to all the staff for their commitment to making the stay so very special. We will be back – sooner rather than later!
Excellent place to stay, one of the nicest hotels I've stayed in the UK.
Excellent value for money. I stayed here for one night on business and couldn't believe what good value for money it was. So much nicer than a typical hotel room with well stocked kitchen area, sofa, TV and very comfy bed.
What a fantastic find - 2 mins away from the centre and everything you need.
Fantastic in every way! We'll be back!
Fantastic place to stay, my 1st choice everytime. Great value for money, great location, parking available, staff are very friendly and helpful.
Excellent all round - studio apartments are of a very high quality - no flimsy fittings here! Plenty of space, plus free internet, flatscreen TV.
Love it. Always stay there. Home away from Home.

Wondering if you should have that mole on your arm checked out? There have been a few updates on what you should look out for. Most dermatologists now recommend the following:
* Look for "ugly ducklings." The Skin Cancer Foundation recently promoted this simple screen for identifying potentially cancerous lesions: Just look at the moles on your body and note any that look significantly different from the others -- the ugly ducklings. The ugly-duckling approach is based on the fact that most people have stereotypical mole patterns. In some people, they may all appear light brown and flat. In others, they may be darker and raised. Any mole that looks different from the others should be examined by a dermatologist.
* Look for changes. Most melanomas arise out of the blue, not from already-existing moles. Any new skin lesion is reason to head for the dermatologist's office. But some melanomas come from moles gone bad. Any change in the shape, size or color of an existing mole should also be examined.
* Remember the alphabet. Dermatologists recommend patients consider the letters ABCDE as a guide for self-screening, and have moles exhibiting any of the following characteristics checked out: Asymmetrical shape; border that is irregular; color that is inconsistent within the mole; diameter greater than one-fourth inch; and evolving, or changing in any of the criteria above, or in any other way.
* Pay attention to concerns of those who are close to you. That tip comes from Dr. Donald Morton, chief of the melanoma program at the John Wayne Cancer Institute in Santa Monica, whose wife, he says, diagnosed his melanoma years ago.
"I had a mole she didn't like the looks of," he says. "I said, 'But I'm a melanoma doctor! How could I have melanoma and not know it?' " On her insistence, he had a small, black mark biopsied, and it was a melanoma.
"That was 17 years ago," he says. "She may have saved my life."

Don't take our dedicated EMTs for granted
On July 4, 2011, I suffered a near-fatal fall down a steep flight of stairs, resulting in eight broken ribs (many with multiple breaks) and a lacerated spleen. The Evergreen paramedics and EMTs saved my life. Due to their prompt response and phenomenal care on site and during my transport to St. Anthony's trauma center, I am now recovering quite well.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death in the United States. Most people who die from CHD die of a heart attack. Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a term that includes mild heart attacks, as well as other episodes of chest pain that may serve as a warning sign for an upcoming heart attack.
There are many medicines that can help prevent and treat ACS. However, at least 25% of patients don't take their medications as prescribed. When patients don't take their medications, we say they are noncompliant or nonadherent with the treatment.
The period following hospital discharge is a vulnerable time for many patients. Patients are often confused about what to do when they return home from the hospital. Many patients don't take their medications correctly, or they don't take them at all. Patients with poor literacy skills have more trouble than others, because it is harder for them to follow written instructions. Overall, about half of the adults in the U.S. have poor literacy skills. It is important to develop ways to help these adults manage their health better.
The purposes of this research project are 1) to learn more about the relationship between low literacy and medication adherence after hospital discharge, and 2) to test a strategy designed to help patients take their medicines more regularly. We will recruit consenting patients hospitalized with ACS. We will measure their literacy skills, ask questions about how they take their medicines, and measure other related factors like social support and self-efficacy. Patients will then be assigned to 1 of 2 groups. One group will receive only usual care at hospital discharge, which usually includes the nurse and physician briefly reviewing the medication prescriptions. The other group will receive an illustrated daily medication schedule and special, tailored counseling from a pharmacist at their time of discharge. About 1 week after patients leave the hospital we will contact them by phone to ask them questions about how they have been taking their medicines. We will get data from patients records for 6 months to see if the intervention had an impact on their medication compliance, blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes measurements.
If this study is successful, this simple strategy could be implemented by hospitals to improve medication compliance after discharge. This study will also provide more information about how patients' literacy skills affect their medication compliance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.
- Management Report
- Liquidity and Capital Resources
The year 2013 was dominated by product off ensives at all of our divisions. Our innovative vehicles, pioneering technologies and efficient production processes set new standards in automobile manufacturing and strengthened our position on international markets, thus laying the groundwork for further growth.
Dear Shareholders, the Supervisory Board dealt intensively and comprehensively with the strategic and operational development of the Daimler Group in seven meetings during the 2013 financial year.
Daimler's share price gains 52 % over the year. Global stock markets developed very positively in 2013, supported by the expansive monetary policy of the central banks and the easing of the European sovereign debt crisis. The Board of Management and the Supervisory Board propose an increased dividend of €2.25 per share (prior year: €2.20). We off er investors and analysts a comprehensive range of investor relations services. Daimler took advantage of the high level of liquidity on international capital markets to refi nance its operations at attractive terms.
Our overriding corporate goal is to achieve sustained profitable growth and thus continually increase the value of the Group. We aim to attain the leading position in all of our business segments. To achieve that goal, we have defined four strategic growth areas for the Group. We will implement measures related to those areas in the coming years within the framework of the growth strategies of our divisions. These strategies will be accompanied by efficiency programs to ensure that our growth has a solid financial foundation.
Efficient Operation - Profitable Growth. Daimler is growing faster, on a broader front and in more markets than ever before. This growth is based on extensive product offensives in all our divisions. We are expanding our product range, creating new segments and specifically addressing regionally different customer requirements. And in doing all of this, one thing is crucial: We don't want to grow at any price, but with sustainable profitability. That's why the efficiency programs in the divisions are an additional key element of our growth strategy. Find out more in the section Efficiency & Growth of this Annual Report.
The year 2013 was very successful for Daimler overall. We significantly increased our unit sales and revenue, and continuously improved the profitability of our divisions as the year progressed. We thrilled our customers with numerous new products. And we set new standards with pioneering innovations, above all with regard to the safety and environmental compatibility of our vehicles. In the year 2014, we will continue our growth offensive and further enhance the efficiency of our processes.
2013 was another record year for Mercedes-Benz Cars. Unit sales, revenue and production reached all-time highs. As we anticipated at the beginning of 2013, EBIT displayed a clear upward trend as the year progressed. Our most important new model was the S-Class, a pioneer of automotive development that underscores our leadership in the luxury segment. Additional new models in 2013 were the new E-Class and the CLA compact coupe. We also unveiled the new GLA, a compact SUV. Targeted investment in our global production network and sustained improvements in efficiency have put us on track for further profitable growth.
Daimler Trucks. Daimler Trucks continued to forge ahead with its product offensive in 2013. The presentation of the new Mercedes-Benz Arocs and Atego models and of the Mercedes-Benz SLT, Econic and Unimog special trucks enabled Daimler Trucks to complete its Euro VI-compliant product range well before the stricter emissions standards came into effect at the beginning of 2014. The new product from Daimler Trucks North America, the Freightliner Cascadia Evolution, has met with an outstanding market response. The BharatBenz brand's expanded product lineup is also setting new standards on India's roads. The new "Asia Business Model," an excellence initiative of the "Daimler Trucks #1" program, reached a milestone when production of FUSO models commenced in Chennai, India.
In 2013, Mercedes-Benz Vans launched the new Sprinter — the global vehicle in the van segment. With its new safety and assistance systems, the Sprinter sets new standards in its class. Our unit sales increased in 2013 and we achieved double-digit growth rates in China, Latin America and Eastern Europe. Despite sharp market declines in Western European, we were able to improve our earnings. We are continuing our "Vans goes global" growth strategy. By starting production of the Sprinter Classic in Russia and strengthening our activities in China, we have laid the foundations for continued growth.
Numerous new products and the systematic continuation of the "GLOBE 2013" growth and efficiency program contributed to the turnaround at Daimler Buses. Higher unit sales and further efficiency progress led to a significant earnings improvement in financial year 2013. The division thus confirmed its leadership in the core markets of Western Europe and Latin America. During the year under review, the division focused on converting the entire European product range to Euro VI-compliant exhaust-gas technology. Daimler Buses set new standards in the luxury coach segment with the presentation of the new Setra TopClass 500.
At Daimler Financial Services, the number of financed or leased cars and commercial vehicles passed the three-million mark for the first time ever. New business and contract volume reached new record levels. The division also set a new record for brokering automotive insurance policies. At the end of 2013, the car-sharing program car2go had almost 600,000 customers and was the market leader in its segment. Once again, customers and dealers alike gave the Daimler Group's financial services division very high marks.
Daimler's divisions generally performed well in an market environment that remained difficult. We renewed our product range while continuing to increase our efficiency. We were able to improve our market position in many areas.
Daimler's Board of Management and Supervisory Board are committed to the principles of good corporate governance. All of our activities are based on the principles of responsible, transparent and sustainable management.
The Consolidated Financial Statements presented as follows have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). They also comply with additional requirements set forth in Section 315a (1) of the German Commercial Code (HGB).

The University of Nebraska will receive substantial state support for a nursing and allied health project at Kearney, a new cancer research tower at the medical center and a new Veterinary Diagnostic Center in Lincoln thanks to a budget package approved by the Legislature and signed this month by Gov. Dave Heineman.
- President Milliken's letter to employees, Jan. 18, 2012
- Building a Healthier Nebraska summary
- Board of Regents resolution, Jan. 27, 2012
- Power Point presentation to the Board of Regents, Jan. 27, 2012
- Economic impact analysis
- Joint Chambers of Commerce letter to the Appropriations Committee
- Economic considerations
- Cancer research tower
- Cancer center project
- School of Allied Health Professions, Kearney division
- Veterinary Diagnostic Center
- College of Nursing, Lincoln division
- College of Nursing, Kearney division
The package includes support for three of the four capital projects that comprised the university's Building a Healthier Nebraska initiative, which was announced in January:
- $15 million for a building addition at the University of Nebraska at Kearney to house an expanded University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Nursing Kearney division and a new UNK-based UNMC School of Allied Health Professions.
- $50 million for a cancer research tower at UNMC, part of a larger cancer center project that will position UNMC to earn prestigious Comprehensive Cancer Center designation from the National Institutes of Health.
- A commitment to pay the debt service on a $50 million bond for a new Veterinary Diagnostic Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Institute for Agriculture and Natural Resources.
Each of the projects also requires a commitment of private or other funds. The fourth component of Building a Healthier Nebraska, a new College of Nursing Lincoln facility, was not funded this legislative session.
NU President James B. Milliken said: "When completed, these projects will meet workforce needs, create high-quality jobs, improve health care and expand educational opportunities for young people in our state. I want to thank all those who supported Building a Healthier Nebraska throughout the legislative session, including our key sponsors and supporters of the capital projects and Chairman Heidemann and the other members of the Appropriations Committee. The Governor's support gave us the critical momentum we need to raise private dollars and move our Building a Healthier Nebraska initiative forward." He added, "Finally, my thanks to all the Nebraskans who have testified, spoken and written in support of this initiative over the past few months. The positive reaction Building a Healthier Nebraska has generated around the state has been gratifying and I could not be more appreciative."
UNK has announced a campaign to raise the $4 million necessary to complete funding for the nursing and allied health project. In addition, the state's $50 million investment in the cancer research tower is expected to be leveraged with $200 million in private funding plus $120 million in debt assumed by The Nebraska Medical Center to complete the full cancer center project.
Milliken noted that the projects will create a significant number of new, well-paying jobs for Nebraska. Construction alone for the Kearney health project, cancer research tower and Veterinary Diagnostic Center is expected to create nearly 5,800 jobs and $700 million in economic activity, according to the university's economic impact analysis. On an ongoing basis, Building a Healthier Nebraska is projected to support more than 4,700 jobs and $543 million in economic activity.
These are among the reasons the initiative was supported by a wide range of individuals and groups across the state, including the state, Lincoln, Omaha and Kearney chambers of commerce; the Nebraska Bankers Association; leading agricultural groups such as Ag Builders of Nebraska, Nebraska Cattlemen and Nebraska Farm Bureau; and others.
If private fundraising benchmarks are met, the Kearney health facility is expected to open in fall of 2014. Nursing enrollment would grow by about 40 – to more than 160 – by 2017-18. Currently, the Kearney nursing division turns away about 50 percent of qualified applicants. Enrollment in the new UNK-based allied health professions school would be about 50 by 2017-18; the UNMC school accepts only 25 percent of applicants.
The cancer center is projected to be completed in 2016. The Veterinary Diagnostic Center also is projected to open that year, providing a high-quality, accredited center for Nebraska's veterinarians and livestock producers.

In all likelihood, Harvey Wippleman couldn't come of age in today's wrestling. There's not much of a place in the business any more for a scrawny, street-wise kid who had nothing going for him, other than a lot of guile and a load of endurance.
So even though the story of Wippleman, Bruno Lauer by birth, focuses on times as recent as the 1980s and 1990s, readers of his new autobiography are left with the sense that he's a product of a bygone day.
And there's no question that Lauer, a jack-of-all-trades for WWE for several years, understands that he was aboard the last caboose to leave the deteriorating territorial era that dominated wrestling for most of the last century.
"Enjoy the time while you can," he advises, "because time passes by quickly, and before you know it, you'll be watching the train pull from the station without you. And like pulling your fist out of bucket of water, the hole left by your (or my) departure will be filled as quickly as the space in the water where your fist had been."
That attitude, expressed toward the conclusion of Wrestling with the Truth, Lauer's recently-released tome from Crowbar Press, has a touch of fatalism to it, and is by no means representative of the other 233 pages of raucous, funny, and frequently alarming tales about his time in wrestling.
But it underscores the point that Lauer, mostly known as "Downtown Bruno" or Wippleman, traveled a path that has long since been shuttered in favor of professional recruitment and exacting career development. Imagine today's WWE tapping a western Pennsylvania punk whose teen years were dedicated to sprawling on car hoods, smoking cigarettes, and drinking beer with no particular ambition in mind. As Lauer quotes wrestler and buddy Tazz: "We could be digging ditches for a living."
That's what makes Lauer's introduction into the business particularly fascinating. Idly attending a trivial wrestling show at a Pennsylvania fair in 1979, he agreed to help break down the ring in return for admission. He hooked up with the company as it toured Ohio and found an unlikely mentor in Lord Jonathan Boyd, one-half of the Royal Kangaroos, and a wrestler who had, to be charitable, seen better days.
From there, Lauer bounced around with something little more than aimless direction until he fell in league with Geeto Mongol, a trainer and promoter in Pennsylvania. Trivia answer: Geeto dubbed the newbie Dr. Lennerd Spazzinsky -- Mongol was never a threat to win a spelling bee -- in the hope, mostly unrequited, that fans would chant "Spaz" at Lauer.
Most of Wrestling with the Truth is dedicated to those kinds of travails, since caring for Lia Maivia's cancer-stricken dog in Hawaii could fairly be called a "travail," before Lauer eventually earned his spurs in Memphis as "Downtown Bruno."
Starting in 1986, the little "punk" took over the position of lead heel manager in Memphis, Tenn., after Jimmy Hart headed to the WWF. Jerry Lawler was instrumental in Lauer's career, as was a local behemoth named Sid Eudy, who took a liking to Lauer, by now a successful mixture of the physical prowess of TV's Gilligan and the popularity of a repo man.
Here a diversion is in order: Lauer presents as full a picture of Eudy, then working as Lord Humongous and later known as Sid Vicious, as we've ever had from an insider, and it's sure to be fodder for Internet bulletin boards. For example, during their first trip together on the road in Alabama, Lauer heard a mysterious "click, click" in the middle of the night. Flicking on a light, he found Eudy "opening and closing his incredibly large knife, over and over again, and grinning at me like the Joker in the Batman movie." No surprise, then, that a sleepless night ensued.
Eudy and Lauer had their shares of up and downs even through their association in the WWF in the early 1990s, though Lauer ultimately is even-handed about the relationship since Eudy helped bring his "little buddy" to the federation. But the backbone of the book consists of stories of Lauer's work with Eudy and others in the Southern territories that were drying up in the late 1980s.
If you want a lot of exposes about backstage antics in the WWF, you'd be best advised to look elsewhere. Lauer's work in the WWF occupies only the last one-third of the book, though those sections are chockful of behind-the-scenes insights into riddles such as why Curtis "Mr. Hughes" vanished so quickly from the scene and what possessed WWF officials to push the uncoordinated Giant Gonzalez into a feud with The Undertaker.
Let there be no mistake -- Wrestling with the Truth bears little resemblance to the more reserved autobiographies of, say, Jack Brisco or Steve Williams. Lauer vent his spleen on camera as a manager, and, in some seriously twisted booking, as the WWF women's champion in 2000. And he's brutal -- and he emphasizes, honest -- on some of the folks he encountered during the years, such as Bertha Faye ("a problem drinker"), Kamala ("constantly bitched and moaned about racism and prejudice"), and particularly Joey Marella.
Marella, a referee and son of legendary wrestler Gorilla Monsoon, was behind the wheel during a horrific 1994 car crash in New Jersey that claimed his life and severely injured Lauer. The incident spans several pages, and Lauer is unsparing his criticism of an accident that brought him to the brink of mortality and cost him $10,000 in medical expenses. "Joey was a loser, and not only was it a miracle that he didn't kill me, it would a miracle that he didn't kill himself or someone else sooner than he did."
In fairness, Lauer is equally hard on himself and his penchant for alcohol, which landed him in jail in Memphis and nearly ended his career. "I've been in prison ... I've been in church and I've been through hell," he said.
Beyond the road stories and observations, though, one conclusion is inescapable -- Lauer is the last of a dying breed. His rise from a street kid to a recognized wrestling manager represents a career path that's gone the way of the territorial system that produced him; in fact, managers today are about as rare as 60-minute matches. Like his work or loathe it, then, Lauer has provided a valuable service, a warts-and-all look at the ways things once were, and are unlikely ever to be again. "I'm still in debt, and I'm not financially independent, but guess what?" he asks. "I'm a happy, grateful, secure, man."

Fans of hit TV show "Glee" were given a sneak peek at next week's Cory Monteith tribute at the end of Thursday night's episode – and it looks set to be a tearjerker.
Show regulars are seen paying their respects to the tragic actor's character Finn Hudson in the emotional teaser, creating a shrine to the high school quarterback-turned-"Glee" club star and carrying his quarterback helmet through fictional McKinley High.
Monteith's real-life girlfriend Lea Michele is also featured in the clips for the "Farewell to Finn" episode, sobbing into co-star Matthew Morrison's arms as he attempts to console her.
Michele sings "To Make You Feel My Love" throughout the trailer.
Monteith died from a drug and alcohol overdose in July.

Picture yourself as a young 20-year-old Spaniard, spending your whole life in Spain, breaking into an Atlético Madrid side and claiming your spot as the number one goalkeeper of the team, the same team you joined when you were ten years old.
After going through the ranks and progressing towards that glorious number one spot at such a young age; you go on to capture the Europa League title, before lifting the UEFA Super Cup.
One of the biggest clubs in the world, Manchester United, then come knocking at your door, offering you the task of replacing one of the finest goalkeepers of our generation, Edwin van der Sar.
By no means an easy task, but ready for the challenge, the opportunity to play for one of the true major forces in world football lies before you.
Little do you expect the backlash and negativity you receive on a weekly basis.
Despite leaving everything from your homeland behind, family, friends, teammates; you continue to fight the doubters, however it seems no matter how hard you try, there is no way of winning them over.
David de Gea's £17 million move was looked upon as risk. A high amount to pay for such a young and inexperienced goalkeeper, but when Sir Alex Ferguson displays so much faith in one man, who are we to question the signing? But it seems question De Gea is something that has been happening all too often since his arrival.
Sure there is expected to be a heap of pressure piled on to any player when they join a club with the stature of Manchester United, but with De Gea's size and inexperience, he was obviously a long-term replacement.
The criticism De Gea receives in the media has been unfair, and he has had many doubters. One man who openly doubted the Spaniard was former Manchester United full back Gary Neville.
Although admitting that he too made mistakes, you wonder was he ever doubted as much as De Gea? over his tenure as a Manchester United goalkeeper? No.
Despite an impressive performance against Tottenham, where he produced a number of great saves, De Gea was criticised for the injury-time equaliser his side conceded. So what more does de Gea have to do?
He is already in the running to replace Iker Casillas as Spain's number one choice, leapfrogging the likes of Pepe Reina and Victor Valdes, and constantly remains linked with a future move back to Madrid, this time with Real. If a team such as Real Madrid want you to replace one of their true greats, you know you must be doing something right.
On Wednesday night, Manchester United travelled to Spain to take on Real Madrid in their first leg encounter of the Champions League knockout stage.
It finished 1-1 but the praise fell to De Gea once more, as he impressed at the Bernabéu, with his incredible agility on show once more, as Fabio Coentrão found out as his curling effort was tipped on to the post, a shot which would have had most goalkeepers picking the ball out of the net.
Another occasion saw De Gea save with his feet, proving yet again that while a crowded Premier League penalty area might not be to his fondness, in pure shot-stopping terms he is up there with the very best.
Speaking after the game, the goalkeeper said: "It all happened so fast, I got across and was lucky enough to save it with my feet. Overall, I am very happy with my performance. I am improving every day at Old Trafford and I am very happy."
The media love to attack De Gea, highlighting every mistake he commits, major or minor.
The opposite can be said for England's number one, Joe Hart.
When you compare the two goalkeepers, both based in Manchester and with extremely talented players around them, people always choose Joe Hart as the safer bet; as he is older, more experienced and is seen as more 'reliable' than De Gea or any other goalkeeper in the league for that matter.
But when you compare the stats this season, you find it hard to wonder why the media find it easier to attack De Gea, but overlook the mistakes which Joe Hart commits.
Saves: Hart – 44, de Gea - 68
Saves per game: Hart – 1.7, de Gea – 3.8
Saves to shot %: Hart – 65, de Gea - 77
Successful clearances: Hart – 26, de Gea - 24
Successful clearances per game: Hart – 1, de Gea – 1.3
Aerial duals won %: Hart – 75%, de Gea – 83%
Passing accuracy %: Hart – 60%%, de Gea – 56%
Total loss of possession: Hart – 224, de Gea - 188
Errors that lead to goals: Hart – 4, de Gea – 1
(Stats taken from www.eplindex.com)
Although there are certain aspects in which Joe Hart beats De Gea in, it is clear that De Gea has been the much busier man, and thus more effective.
Southampton managed to overcome Manchester City 3-1, with Joe Hart committing a clear mistake, but the media are less critical when it comes to unsettling the England number one.
Manchester United fans know that De Gea is one for the future, but while performing better than England's number one goalkeeper, and most goalkeepers in the league, the media continues to attack and doubt the Spanish youngster.
He may well determine the outcome of the return leg at Old Trafford, but one thing is for sure, David de Gea will continue to have his doubters for the foreseeable future.

Product Highlights
The 120V 24093FLS ViewShare Advantage Electrol 58 x 104" Ceiling-Recessed Motorized Screen (box available separately) from Da-Lite integrates an HD camera into the screen, and is compatible with any free peer-to-peer video conferencing software.
Designed to eliminate the extra step of finishing the screen with trim, the screen features ceiling trim already in place. Once the screen is installed, the screen's trim conceals the rough opening, eliminating the need to complete additional trim work. Sliding installation brackets are provided to make it easy to attach the screen housing to the structure above the drop ceiling.
The ViewShare system screen features simple ceiling-tile installation that can be done in two stages. The screen case can be installed during the rough-in construction stage, and the fabric assembly can be completed during the finishing stage.
Note: This screen does not include a box, and is designed for installations where a box has previously been selected. Please ensure the box you are using is compatible - i.e., is of the same size and has the same option - as with this fabric, roller, and motor assembly. The box that goes with this model number is: 24093BLS.

1. Is quam in line 2 adverbial ("how Catullus loves...") or is it a relative adjective ("which one girl...")?Catullus wrote:Caeli, Lesbia nostra, Lesbia illa,
illa Lesbia, quam Catullus unam
plus quam se atque suos amavit omnes,
nunc in quadriviis et angiportis
glubit magnanimi Remi nepotes.
2. What is the intended meaning of glubit? It literally means "to strip the bark off/to peel", but also can mean "to rob". The first definitions make sense I guess, as in she is tormenting/aggravating her suitors, but an alley would be a good place to rob someone too so I'm not sure.

Had a few people over for Chinese New Year dinner, so figured I should make a punch. Didn't know if everyone would be drinking so left the booze out for people to add in their individual cups.
It had to be red and gold, thus the pomegranate and orange wheel garnishes.
Chinese New Year Punch, 2012
Peel and Juice 4 Lemons
1 Cup Sugar
16 oz Pomegranate Juice
2 Teaspoons Green Tea
4 Whole Cloves
4 Green Cardamom Pods, crushed
1 Cup Water
1 Bottle Knudsen Sparkling Pomegranate, Chilled
Oranges, sliced for garnish
Freshly grated nutmeg
Macerate the Lemon Peels in the Sugar until they release their oils.
Boil water and combine with tea and spices. Steep for 6 Minutes.
Strain hot spiced tea into sugar and peel mixture. Stir to dissolve sugar. Combine strained lemon juice with spiced tea syrup and chill your "Shrub".
Pour Shrub into punch bowl, add Pomegranate Juice. When guests arrive add ice and Sparkling Pomegranate. Garnish with orange wheels. Serve in small cups and dust with freshly grated nutmeg. Add booze to taste, if desired.

Vallivero's Audi Turnover Crowned In Torbole
7 July 2013
Torbole, Italy - After a not so brilliant start to the 2013 Audi Melges 20 Sailing Series season, Renato Vallivero's Audi Turnover has won Torbole. Hosted by Circolo Vela Torbole, Vallivero and his team comprised of tactician Enrico Fonda and Marco Perazzo took advantage of the permanent Ora wind to gain the podium.
Vallivero won the event by a six point margin over Portoferraio Champion Alessandro Rombelli's STIG. Eight points further back, overnight leader Achille Onorato aboard Mascalzone Latino, Jr. finished in third. Completing the top five results is American Michael Kiss on Bacio, and Dario Levi's Fremito D'Arja.
In the overall Audi Sailing Series Ranking, Guido Miani's Out of Reach has been de-throned from his leadership position. After a very exciting Torbole, Rombelli now leads after twenty-one races with an 11-point gap over second place Onorato. Miani has fallen back to third, Francesco Farneti's ITA-157 is fourth and Giancarlo Capolino on Legionario is now fifth.
The fourth leg of the 2013 Audi Melges 20 Sailing Series is organized by B-Plan Sport&Events in full collaboration with the International Audi Melges 20 Class Association and Melges Europe has concluded.
Past Torbole, only one regatta remains in the Series. Happening on 29 August - September 1, the very first Audi Melges 20 European Championship hosted by Yacht Club Porto Rotondo will take place in Porto Rotondo, Italy where many more teams will compete.
Now recognized by ISAF as an International Class, the Audi Melges 20 Class Association (IM20CA) is pleased to present its very first World Championship on December 11-14 at Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo Florida. The Notice of Race (NOR) is now available and Online Registration is open. Ocean Reef is an exquisite venue offering the very best in yacht racing conditions and social atmosphere. It perfectly complements the Audi Melges 20's trademark attributes of sheer simplicity and sophistication. Ultimately, the 2013 World Championship will be the pinnacle event of the year for the class and the one design performance racing industry.

Alternative Names
Delayed or absent tooth formation; Teeth - delayed or absent formation
The age at which the tooth comes in varies. Most infants get their first tooth between 6 and 9 months, but it may be earlier or later.
In some cases, children or adults are missing teeth they never developed. Cosmetic or orthodontic dentistry can correct this problem.
Specific diseases can affect tooth shape, tooth color, time of appearance, or tooth absence. Delayed or absent tooth formation can result from many different conditions, including:
- Apert syndrome
Cleidocranial dysostosis
- Down syndrome
Ectodermal dysplasia Ellis-van Creveld syndrome Hypothyroidism Hypoparathyroidism Incontinentia pigmenti achromians Progeria
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Talk to your health care provider if your child has not developed any teeth by 9 months of age.
What to Expect at Your Office Visit
The health care provider will perform a physical exam. This will include a detailed look at the mouth and gums. You will be asked questions such as:
- In what order did the teeth emerge?
- At what age did other family members develop teeth?
- Are there any other family members that have teeth that never "came in"?
- What other symptoms are also present?
An infant with delayed or absent tooth formation may have other symptoms and signs that define a specific syndrome or condition.
Diagnostic tests are not often needed. Most of the time, delayed tooth formation is a normal finding.

text: Hello, I want to go back to stock so that I can get the new Gingerbread OTA update for my Droid 2. I restored an old backup I had of Froyo before I flashed Liberty and unrooted but I can't download the OTA. I still have ClockworkMod Recovery on my phone and every time I turn the phone off and on, the phone boots into ClockworkMod Recovery first. I've read ways of deleting certain files (hijack, logwrapper, and renaming logwrapper.bin) is suppose to get rid of ClockworkMod Recovery, but however, this hasn't worked. Any help is appreciated and I'd rather not have to SBF as the instructions I have seen seem quite complicated (not to mention the resources availabe seem to have been deleted in older threads). Thank you.

What is it with Hollywood and hyperbole these days? Last week saw "Oz the Great and Powerful" and now we have "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone." Calling it "The Mildly Diverting Burt Wonderstone" would have been more accurate, but how many tickets is that going to sell?
Neither as good as you might hope nor as dreadful as doubters may fear, "Wonderstone" has in Steve Carell, Steve Buscemi, Jim Carrey and Alan Arkin four of the funniest men working in movies today. But it doesn't seem to know how to consistently get the best out of them.
One reason is that "Burt Wonderstone" itself can't make up its mind what kind of movie it is. Part manic comedy, part would-be heart-warmer of the "follow your bliss" variety, its odd combination of tones and situations leads to as many awkward, uncertain moments as funny ones.
PHOTOS: 'The Incredible Burt Wonderstone' premiere
Still, the chance to watch Carell and Carrey (who costarred in "Bruce Almighty") throwing themselves into the kind of crazy characters they do best is not without interest, even if director Don Scardino (best known for TV's "30 Rock") isn't quite sure how to handle the mood transitions the story demands.
This tale of the ups and downs of a celebrated team of Las Vegas magicians (Siegfried and Roy come fleetingly to mind), "Burt Wonderstone" starts with its heroes as small boys, unhappily bullied just for being alive.
What saves the lads is exposure to "Rance Holloway's Magic Kit," a sleight-of-hand education in a box that is introduced by a video by Holloway himself (the always funny Arkin), who promises these lonely kids, "If you follow my instructions, everyone will love you."
Cut to years later and watch Burt Wonderstone (Carell) and Anton Marvelton (Buscemi), still best friends, as they climb the ladder to success as a magic team, finally getting signed by Bally's casino owner Doug Munny (James Gandolfini) to headline Las Vegas' The Burt and Anton Theater.
PHOTOS: SXSW 13 must-see films
All this is merely prologue to "Burt Wonderstone's" actual story, which starts a decade after that and has poor Burt bored, bored, bored with his rich and famous lifestyle with his devoted partner Anton, even with the endless groupies who have to sign a multi-page release before he'll allow them to cavort on the biggest bed in Las Vegas.
Wonderstone is especially hard on the act's comely female assistants, and when one quits right in the middle of a show, stage manager Jane (an effective Olivia Wilde) gets thrust into the role and quickly has to tell the great man "I worshiped you for 10 years and you've made me hate you in 60 seconds."
"Burt Wonderstone" is initially hampered by the difficulties inherent in putting magic on screen in these CGI-heavy days. So while the screenplay (written by Jonathan Goldstein & John Francis Daley) calls for lots of prestidigitation, it can be difficult for viewers to tell what is the real deal and what was done with those helpful computers.
With his hair long and leonine and his cut-to-the-sternum burgundy velvet costume appropriately sprinkled with sequins, Carell has great fun with the egomaniacal Wonderstone, and it seems at first that the film will focus on the comic rivalry brewing between himself and the equally driven gonzo street performer Steve Gray, who prefers the title "brain rapist" to "magician."
PHOTOS: Biggest Hollywood flops
As played by Carrey with unstoppable messianic fervor, Gray is part masochist, part performance artist, part trickster. Given to enigmatic sayings like "bad things don't happen to us, they happen for us," Gray is getting a national reputation for his cable show on Intense TV that features stunts like not walking but sleeping on burning coals, and he and Wonderstone appear to be cruising for a bruising.
Before that can happen, however, "Burt Wonderstone" takes another tack entirely. The Burt and Anton partnership collapses and humiliation after humiliation is visited on Wonderstone. He ends up sinking as low as doing magic tricks for the old folks at the Peaceful Oasis retirement home.
It's here that "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone" becomes another movie almost entirely, clumsily focusing on the redemption of a soul, on finding ways and means to humanize this reprobate magician and make him worthy of a good woman's love. The film tries to regroup toward the end but it's too late. Movies that try to have it all often end up with less than they started with.

Heckler & Koch P30
1 post • Page 1 of 1
Heckler & Koch P30
"Highest possible safety and functionality "Safety with Function" - the result of consistently striving for the highest possible standards during the design and development of the P30. The result is the most modern pistol that combines the best possible safety with functionality. With its safety characteristics, thought-out details and optional system components, the P30 fulfils all the requirements of a modern pistol." - [url="http://hk-usa.com/p30_general.html"]SOURCE[/url].
Just as with [url="http://concealedcarryforum.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6884"]MY HK45[/url] I had no intention of every buying an HK P30 but an inquiry born of curiosity led to another unintended purchase. I was in my local Sportsman's Warehouse when I happened to notice my P30 sitting on the shelf. I've read a lot about them but never having held one I couldn't resist the urge to hold it and the second that it hit my hand I was sold. I put a 24 hour courtesy hold on the weapon to give me a chance to compare their $799.99 price tag and when I couldn't beat the price I went back the next morning to claim my weapon.
The P30 comes with a hard-sided case, lock, three different sizes of back straps (small, medium, and large) as well as three different sizes of side panel inserts that are sure to fit most any hand.
No matter how good something feels in your hand it means nothing until you fire it. I took my P30 with 50 rounds of Federal 147 grain JHP, 50 rounds of Federal 147 grain JHP +P, 50 rounds of Corbon 115 grain JHP +P, 50 rounds of Corbon 125 grain JHP +P and 300 rounds of WWB. As with all HKs my P30 performed flawlessly. The P30 did an amazing job of taming even the hottest loads. Accuracy was excellent by combat standards; placement was completely predictable and grouping certainly exceeded my expectations.
[size=4]What I Like:[/size=4]
Ergonomics: From the familiar Browning controls to the grip that seems to melt itself into my hand, I have never found a more ergonomically perfect weapon and the various sized back-straps and side panels ensure a perfect fit for most any size hand. I purchased this weapon based on ergonomics alone. While the HK45 is a dang near perfect match for my hand, the P30 fits my relatively small hands even better. The familiar grip angle makes the P30 a truly natural pointer, and the grip texturing ensures a positive grip which gives the shooter absolute control.
Recoil Reduction: While the 9mm is a soft shooter in most any platform, the P30 soaks up the recoil like no other. To put it simply, there is (virtually) none. When firing single action my seven year old daughter has no trouble shooting the P30. If you need a weapon in a service caliber for someone sensitive to recoil, this is the weapon you've been looking for.
Overall Size: Being virtually the same overall size as the Glock 19, the P30 is also the perfect size weapon for concealed carry. Although this weapon would serve as a very good service weapon, offering typical service size capacity in a grip substantial enough to grasp yet small enough to easily conceal, this weapon was designed with concealed carry in mind.
Accuracy: Although the weapon itself is capable of meeting any reasonable combat or service standard, the sum of all attributes of this weapon enables the shooter to shoot accurately with confidence.
Magazine Release: This is one of those items you will either love or hate. I very much prefer this lever style release to a push button since it would be much harder to accidentally release your magazine. I have rolled over on my Glock causing the magazine to release. I cannot foresee that ever being an issue with the P30.
[size=4]What I Don't Like:[/size=4]
Trigger: The P30 trigger is simply God-awful. The DA pull is both long and cumbersome. In all fairness it's not particularly heavy which makes it servicable, and it is a little better than the HK45 trigger. There is nothing crisp about the SA release, and the reset is nearly as long as any DAO pistol I've ever fired making shooting controlled pairs from reset impossible. Out of the box, this is one of the worst triggers I have ever fired.* Hopefully someone will find a way to clean this trigger up.
Night Sights: These sites are more accurately described as "glow in the dark" sights. So long as your weapon is exposed to bright light prior to walking into the dark the "night" sights are very bright and highly effective. If you carry your weapon concealed and you draw your weapon in the dark you will get nothing from the so-called night sights. This will be disappointing to those intending to use this weapon as a night stand gun.
Owner's Manual: Perhaps this was a simple packaging mistake, but the owner's manual included with my weapon is for USP-Series weapons. I had a similar issue with the manual that came with my HK45. Ironically the P series manual for my HK45 included more information on the P30 than the manual that came with my P30.
Ambidextrous Slide Release Rattles: The slide release on my P30 is very loose. So loose in fact, that if I bump it with my finger it gives me a metal on metal tap noise. I don't like this due to the potential of giving away my position while attaining the proper ready position.
[url="http://media.concealedcarryforum.com/p30noise.wmv"]CLICK HERE[/url] for a 10 second video of the problem in question.
my HK45 does the same dang thing. I'm told by some that this is "normal", and I disagree completely. There is no reason that an upper shelf weapon should have a rattle like this. Despite how perfect this weapon is in many ways, this seems to cheapen it; at least a little.
* - I will be the first to admit that after a lifetime of shooting finer 1911s I have become a blatent trigger snob. Factor this in when considering my harsh criticism of the P30 and HK45 triggers.
[size=4]How Does It Compare?[/size=4]
In order to determine overall value and appeal I am comparing the HK P30 to a comparable size polymer 9mm, the Glock 19.
Asthetics (irrelevant and relative)
When I first learned of the P30 (P3000 at that time) I felt it was an interesting concept and I believed that it would make a good service weapon. While I looked forward to seeing one I really never thought (looking at pictures) I would ever buy one and I certainly never expected this weapon to be such a perfect match for my hand. It fits me so perfectly in fact, that if I can clean up the trigger it could very well become my primary carry weapon. Words cannot describe how perfect this weapon feels in my hand. This is one you just have to hold for yourself. Bring money. [:)]
