Here we go....
I go back and forth between TITAN and INZER gear, some say the titan fabric is beefier and better than inzer, but it seems like all the records and the majority of lifters use inzer, but they are usually the ones sponsored by them...and for the last point, I know a lot of the sponsored guys on here are going to support their brand and say its the best, but I don't want people to just say its good because they are sponsored, I want them to say its better because they have experience with other stuff, etc. THANKS
Wow! That was quite a post LOL
I'm not sponsored by either companies, but I will say The Super Duper Phenom trumps all. By far the best material IMO. I've never worn a Boss shirt, bout the only Titan shirt I haven't tried, but most I've known who've tried one said it was just way too hard to learn and I'm not sure I've heard of anyone touching very well in one LOL
I've worn Karin's, Titan, Inzer, Metal and Inzer is really the best one.
The squat suits I'm not an authority on, but the Ginnys are great, but a little advanced. Most of our guys wear Inzer Levithan's. Briefs are all over the place. You're going to have to try some and see which works best for you

the poster mikesbench has a BOSS shirt on here. hopefully he'll comment.
i have a super phenom but have no benched in it enough yet to form an opinion.
frantz briefs are great for starters. other than that i'd go with pro briefs or viking briefs. vikings are what i've always worn, i love them. they fit me big and still give me tons of support.
the pro squatter is also very nice. i have velcro straps on mine, gives me some great pop.
the king sumo deadlifter is also one of the best DLing suits out there.
my first suit was the v-type squatter, it was a pretty good little first suit. learned it by myself, but it ended up ripping a bit at the hip.

Since I'm a benchonly guy and sponsored by Titan, the only comparison I can give is the single v. double F6 or Katana shirts. I think the best shirt Titan has is the Super F6, single ply. I'm getting about 250# carryover out of it. I have a loose regular single ply Katana I get about 200# out of. This shirt, I can put on myself and will be opening in it this week at WABDL Worlds with 300Kg. I have three double ply Katana's. One open back/grid stitched, one closed back/grid stitched and one closed back plain. I have yet to get a good lift in a meet with any of them. I did touch 325Kg and locked it out with the closed back non grid, but got called for a dip(I later got this weight in a single).
Double ply F6 is hard to break in, but once it's there is a real good shirt.
Basically, the double Katana's are REAL hard to break in. Way to much shirt for most people. I don't have a BOSS, but MasterMonster has one. I don't think he has ever gotten a successfull lift in it. Single Super F6's are great shirts.
Can't wait 'til tomorrow, 'cause I get stronger every day!
Question about the briefs, what kind of carryover do you guys see out of the different types of briefs you use?
Love Inzer bench shirt, hate their squat suits.
Love Metal squat suit, hate their bench shirts.

I wear frantz double ply poly briefs. about 4-5 years old, worn every squat session haha.
I get a little bit out of them, not a whole lot though I couldn't tell you how much because I never go without them! I can still get to parallel/low box with just the bar, fwiw.
I've used Karin's, Inzer, and Titan....sponsored by each at some point (currently Ken Anderson/Titan). My experience is with Karin's DD, Rage/RageX/Dbl RageX, F6, Dbl F6, Katana, Dbl Katana. I can say without a doubt I get more from Titan gear. I feel safer in it. The material & stitching doesn't creak or pop or feel like it's gonna blow. I ripped every RageX and Karin's denims I ever had. I actually went out and bought my first Titan shirt while I was with another company because I got tired of dealing with rips.
I didn't think there was much difference in learning the Dbl Katana or single Katana. Once I learned the single, all I needed for the double was just to add more weight. The groove felt the same. I get 150-175 from my single and 225-250 from my double. The grid-stitch is key to keeping the plys working together and it helps reduce stretching.

If you have a single Katana, I would stick with that for now, if I were you. Just give it some time. They do stretch over time. If it only takes 75# over your raw max to touch, it may be to loose. A two ply F6 is also a good shirt, but takes time to break in. Good luck.
Can't wait 'til tomorrow, 'cause I get stronger every day!
I got an Inzer squat suit, but I really don't like it. I don't know if it's because I'm not used to it or haven't broken it in or what. Every time I wear it, I feel uncomfortable. I squat better without it. Suggestions?
The Inzer squat shoes are awesome.
Give chalk a chance.

I know people are curious about the BOSS shirt, I only have a few minutes right now; but I had one (2 ply, closed back). It was a vry tough shirt to touch in, basically I could force a touch but ad nothing off my chestafter all the effort to get down, and it was actually no an extremely tight shirt. I like a lot of pop off the chest so I decided it wasn't the shirt for me and sold it to a buddy that seems to like it so far. I currently us a 3 1/2 year old rage-x and just can't seem to get a shirt I like any better. Tried a newer rage-x, but I thnk I need to go a size bigger since my old one must be kinda stretched out. To give an idea in the BOSS it took me 535 to get down and I couldn't press it; my old rage-x I can touch about 495 and I've benched 600 in it.

Thats very interesting Jon, seriously. I guess this proves the point that different people will bench differently in different shirts. I blew out almost every titan I owned (bout 6 of them) one of which blowouts caused me a little bit of injury. I got squished with 520 (LOL it was when I was a 198er and it was a single ply) after the shirt gave way about half way up. That was the last Titan I owned. After that I went to Karins. I have ripped my Karins once, but after a small patch, its never given me trouble. Great shirt to learn double ply in.

Alex Thompson added to her lead Thursday
in the third round of the Junior PGA Championship before rain
interrupted play at the TPC River's Bend course.
Thompson, of Coral Springs, Fla., built a four-stroke lead over
Kimberly Kim of Pahoa, Hawaii. The 14-year-old Thompson has led the
girls' division after all three days of play. She won the
tournament in 2007. Rain started falling as Thompson finished the last four holes. Play was suspended after the girls finished, then resumed a couple of hours later. Play in the boys' division was suspended because of darkness.
"The last few holes was a downpour, but I came out of them
fine," Thompson said.
T.J. Vogel of Cooper City, Fla., made it through 12 holes in the
third round before play was called. Vogel led after the second day
and held a three-stroke lead when play was called in the third
round, which will resume on Friday morning.

The former site of the Gateway School in Clarksville could be getting greener–with grass, trees and money–as Howard County's plans for a pedestrian-friendly retail complex move forward.
Howard County Executive Ken Ulman announced the county agreed to sell the old Gateway School property to GreenStone Ventures II for $5 million, with plans to replace it with a development featuring pedestrian-oriented shops, restaurants and a farmer's market "concept."
"The redevelopment of this site is important for this area of Clarksville, and that is why we have worked so hard with the community and the purchaser to find a solution," Ulman said in a statement. "We believe this project will become a dynamic and unique destination."
Access to the site has become a point of controversy between the local residents and those within the county who are for the development. As it currently sits, a sole driveway from Route 108 is the only access point to the site.
after River Hill residents testified for maintaining pedestrian and traffic safety in the area of Route 108 and the River Hill Village Center, which sits directly across the street from the Gateway School driveway.
According to the Howard County Times, GreenStone's initial solution was to purchase a plot of land beside the Gateway School property currently owned by Kendall Hardware, in order to lengthen Great Star Drive across Route 108 and create a side entrance to the development.
But the county sees Kendall Hardware's $1.3 million asking price for the property as too expensive, reports the Times.
In the meantime, the county will go ahead with a two-phase plan which will let GreenStone begin drawing up plans for the sustainable shopping center, earning the county $2 million upon completion.
Further development will continue once GreenStone acquires access to the site approved by the State Highway Association. This second phase will bring another $3 million to the county.
"We look forward to making certain that we exceed the high standards and expectations that have been set for all of us," said George Stone, Principal of GreenStone Ventures II.

Laura Hadar Takes Hot Dawgz and Hand Rails Again For 3rd Year
This weekend, Bear Mountain hosted the first snowboard contest of the season, Hot Dawgz and Hand Rails. The event was well equipped with BBQs, bars and the first blown snow we will see this season. Oakley was on location as well, with a surprising turnout of athletes and appearances by local stars like JP Walker. The Scandinavians have been spotted all over California lately from Oceanside to Laguna Beach, and they couldn't pass up a good taste of what is to come. Joni Malmi, Heikki Sorsa and Lauri Heiskari were all enjoying the sun and fresh air as they witnessed over 30 competitors battle it out for a $12,000 total purse.
Hat tricks are never taken lightly and sure don't come easy, but as of this weekend, proved to be possible. Again for the 3rd consecutive year in a row, Laura Hadar swept the competition with a slew of tricks that no one could touch. With top competitors like Leanne Pelosi, Silvia Mittermüller and Hana Beaman in the mix, the crew battled it out on the 4-rail stair set up. Laura pretty much had it in the bag the entire hour of finals, but in the last 5 minutes of the jam she gapped the flat down rail to a 50/50, which won her the top spot again. With performances like this, Bear should consider renaming this contest; Hot dawgs, Handrails and Hadar.

As the Ball drop rings in the New Year, so does a new set of rules that Californians will have to follow -- 760 to be exact.
The rules affect everyone from the consumer to the parent.
Some include:
But this doesn't mean its the same for all tattoo shops.
"I think there are still tattooers that started up because they thought it was the cool thing to do without taking the time to educate themselves and respect their clients," said Yo.
The new law will also require that practitioners be vaccinated against Hepatitis B.
"Personally if you take the proper procedures, there should be no contact to even expose the client to Hepatitis because of all procedures you are taking."
"With different occasions like prom or vacations, it could affect us but not too drastic,"
Samantha Hodgkins from Paradise Tan said.
Brown vetoed a bill that wouldn't require mammogram providers to tell women if they have dense breast tissue which mimics cancer. He also allowed police to search a suspect's electronic devices without a warrant.

Spokane's first legal marijuana buyers lining up
2 views
SPOKANE, Wash. -- The first sales of legal recreational marijuana were not set to start until Tuesday afternoon, but that didn't stop customers from camping out in front of Spokane Green Leaf overnight. The shop was the only one of Spokane's three licensed pot shops planning to open Tuesday. READ: What to expect at Spokane's first recreational pot shop READ: Limited supply of marijuana to be sent to pot shops on Tuesday Mike Boyer brought a sleeping bag and food to keep him going throughout the night. "Why not? It's history right here, might as well be the guy to be the first one here," said Boyer. The owner of Spokane Green Leaf told Boyer he would be their first customer. Green Leaf staff spent Monday training employees and prepping the store for customers like Boyer. Two more people joined him outside the store early Tuesday morning. "It's history in the making and we're all very excited. [We're] ready to open our doors and give customers what they want," said employee Chad Welsh. READ: Differences in Washington, Colorado pot systems The outlet planned to sell pot for between $20 to $25 per gram. Customers can only legally buy up to 28 grams, or one ounce. That adds up to $560-$700 dollars per ounce. Green Leaf, near Country Holmes Blvd. and Division, was scheduled to open its doors at 2 p.m. Tuesday. The two other marijuana shops in Spokane which received licenses from the state were Satori and Green Star Cannabis. CONNECT 2 KREM: Map of Washington state marijuana retailers

Tom Brady's biggest problem isn't two straight Super Bowl losses, Eli Manning, his advancing age (next stop, 35), his Stand By Your Man supermodel wife or a couple of "What was he thinking?" passes Sunday in Indianapolis. His biggest problem is something he's powerless to do much about: Joe Montana.
Montana ruined it for all quarterbacks, probably forever, with his near-flawless performances in four Super Bowls with the 49ers. QBs aren't supposed to be as infallible as Joe Cool was in SBs 16, 19, 23 and 24. In the most pressure-filled game of the year, with 220 million eyeballs trained on them, even gods have to be granted a certain margin for error – the occasional interception, perhaps, or the once-every-46-years intentional grounding penalty in the end zone that results in a safety.
Problem was, Montana didn't succumb to any of that. Not one of his 122 Super Bowl passes was picked off – and 11 went for touchdowns. His passer ratings were 100, 127.2, 115.2 and 147.6. Naturally, his team won every time.
Steelers great Terry Bradshaw also went 4-0 in the Super Bowl, of course, and also posted four passer ratings of 100 or higher (108, 122.5, 119.2 and 101.9). But quarterbacks didn't carry nearly as much of the load in the '70s as they do now. Consider: Bradshaw averaged 21 passes in his four Super Bowls; Brady has averaged almost twice as many in his five – 39.4.
So Brady's real competition is Montana. And who's ever going to measure up to him? About all Tom can do is try to out-volume Joe – reach the Super Bowl six or seven times, maybe win No. 4 and stake his claim as the greatest of all time that way. "OK, so I wasn't a perfect 4-0 like Montana," he could say. "But I got my team to more title games than any quarterback in NFL history." (The record he's shooting for: six by Bart Starr of the '60s Packers and Otto Graham of the '50s Browns).
Even so, Brady's Super Bowl stats stack up pretty well against just about anybody else's: 197 attempts, 127 completions, 1,277 yards, 9 TDs, 2 INTs, 93.8 rating (not far from his career regular-season rating of 96.4). Yes, Troy Aikman went 3-for-3 in the Super Bowl and had a combined rating of 111.9; but the Cowboys ran it more than they threw it in those games (89 runs, 80 passes). In Brady's last two Super Bowls, the Patriots have had a run-pass ratio of nearly 3-to-1 (99/35).
Aside from that, though, we seem to have forgotten how many Hall of Fame quarterbacks have had disastrous NFL title games, far worse than any Brady (lowest Super Bowl passer rating: 82.5) has had. Some of the more notable crash-and-burns:
● Graham, 1953 vs. Lions: 15 attempts, 2 completions, 15 yards, 0 TDs, 2 INTs, 13.3 rating (in a 17-16 loss).
● Y.A. Tittle, Giants, 1961 vs. Packers: 20 attempts, 6 completions, 65 yards, 0 TDs, 4 INTs, 1.0 rating (in a 37-0 loss).
● Johnny Unitas, Colts, 1964 vs. Browns: 20 attempts, 12 completions, 95 yards, 0 TDs, 2 INTs, 32.3 rating (in a 27-0 loss).
● Fran Tarkenton, Vikings, SB 9 vs. Steelers: 26 attempts 11 completions, 102 yards, 0 TDs, 3 INTs, 14.1 rating (in a 16-6 loss).
● John Elway, Broncos, SB 24 vs. 49ers: 26 attempts, 10 completions, 108 yards, 0 TDs, 2 INTs, 19.4 rating (in 55-10 loss).
● Jim Kelly, Bills, SB 26 vs. Redskins: 58 attempts, 28 completions, 275 yards, 2 TD, 4 INTs, 44.8 rating (in a 37-24 loss).
Judging from all the "Is Tom Brady overrated?" talk this week, you'd think he'd had a game like one of these in his last two Super Bowls (instead of throwing just one interception in 99 attempts). OK, so Brady hasn't been as scintillating (and unbeatable) in the Super Bowl as Montana was. But just remember: The Patriots are still young in plenty of places – including tight end, where Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez (both 22) roam. They're also sitting with two first-round picks and two seconds this year.
In other words, it's entirely possible Brady isn't done yet – done, that is, going to Super Bowls and collecting rings. Heck, he might not even be done bumping into Eli.

With Democrats having routed Republicans since the general election, they're in a strong position to further progressive regulations. That means more rules for you and me--not necessarily them. Since I don't have the time to catalog each example of liberal hypocrisy in a separate article, I'll briefly summarize some rather amazing recent examples.
· Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York, on a one-man crusade for gun control since the Sandy Hook massacre, is just fine being surrounded by men with guns. He's just not OK with you having any. Conservative activist Jason Mattera confronted Bloomberg and his security detail and asked, "In the spirit of gun control, will you disarm your entire security team?" Bloomberg said he'll get back to him. Means no. Apparently it's fine for he and his family to be protected with guns, but not the little people.
· The Daily Caller reported that liberal hatchet website Media Matters apparently purchased "multiple firearms used to protect the Media Matters founder." That man, David Brock, reportedly gave his blessing to the purchase, and one of his staff "committed numerous felonies in the District of Columbia and around the country by carrying a firearm ." The Daily Caller obtained an internal email exchange that revealed "the gun was purchased with cash in Maryland, likely to diminish the chances such a purchase would appear on the tax-exempt group's books." Brock, who has a history of mental issues, said he feared "right-wing assassins" and rooftop snipers,
· Speaking of mental health and gun control, in the wake of the Sandy Hook massacre Michael Moore tweeted, "The way to honor these dead children is to demand strict gun control, free mental health care, and an end to violence as public policy." Like Bloomberg, Moore, who directed the anti-gun Bowling for Columbine, just doesn't think gun control should hamper HIS lifestyle. His bodyguard was arrested for carrying an unlicensed weapon in New York.
· Liberal author Stephen King wrote that he wished NRA leaders "would be required to put on booties and rubber gloves and help clean up the blood, the brains, and the chunks of the intestine still containing the poor wads of half-digested food that were some innocent bystander's last meal." King has made millions through the sale of violent books. One book that didn't sell well had a character that brought a gun to school and shoot his Algebra teacher.
· David Gregory, host of NBC's Meet the Press, displayed an illegal high-capacity magazine on the show while advocating for stricter gun control. The Metropolitan Police Department even warned the network beforehand that displaying it would violate D.C. law. However, prosecutors declined to pursue charges against Gregory. To summarize, Gregory wants even more gun laws, blatantly violated one that existed, and skated. Liberals don't like it when their draconian laws apply to them.
· In "an estate-planning move worth of a Jedi Master," liberal filmmaker George Lucas sold Lucasfilm to Disney for $4.05 billion--six weeks before higher taxes took effect that would have cost him hundreds of millions.
· Al Gore, the face of global warming hysteria, made $100 million in petro-dollars from the sale of his CurrentTV network to Al Jazeera. Al Jazeera is closely associated with the government of Qatar, which makes money almost exclusively from the sale of oil. Gore reportedly tried to sell the network before taxes increased at the beginning of 2013.
· Democratic Senator Bob Menendez, who got his start in politics as a "corruption-fighting mayor" in New Jersey, is being investigated for allegedly flying on a donor's plan to the Dominican Republic and having sex with underage prostitutes there.
That's enough for now. Hypocrisy isn't limited to just Democrats. Republicans do it too, but generally they are not the ones asking for more laws to be created (at least not the real Republicans, anyway) only to try to get around them.

GASTONIA, N.C. -- Gaston County Schools and United Way of Gaston County have launched a school district and community anti-bullying campaign called Rachel's Challenge.
The nationally recognized bullying prevention program was developed around the story of Rachel Scott, the first victim in the Columbine High School tragedy.
Sponsored through a $57,500 grant from the United Way of Gaston County, it will be the first district-wide initiative on the East Coast, officials said. The program will serve 31,000 students in 55 schools.
"Many systems have implemented this in one or two or four or five schools," Gaston Schools Superintendent Reeves McGlohon said during the campaign kickoff Wednesday at Hunter Huss High. "We think it's significant we're implementing this in all 55 schools. We think the program has tremendous potential."
Melissa Balknight, assistant superintendent for student support services, said the school system has focused on the problem for years "and has been able to decrease bullying incidents."
Rachel's Challenge "is one more tool for dealing with bullying," she said.
The focus of the program is to empower students and adults to combat bullying and feelings of isolation and despair by creating a culture of kindness and compassion.
In addition to staff training and school activities, the program will also focus on partnerships with faith-based and civic organizations to educate families and citizens about the role of community support networks for victims of bullying.

This week's Pets of the Week at Baltimore Humane Society are Harley and Boyfriend. Here's what they each have to say--
Hello. My name is Harley and I am a two-and-half-year-old Shepherd/Pit Mix. I was brought to BHS because my owner was not able to keep me contained in her fence and I kept getting away. I am very sweet and have a lot of energy. I also enjoy playing with toys, and getting treats and attention. I do have a tendency to jump up on people so I may need training or help in that area. I love to go for walks, but a harness would really help. I seem to be okay with other dogs, but if you have another dog we would do an intro to be sure everyone gets along. The same goes for children -- since I have not lived with any, we would arrange to meet and see if everyone gets along. I've been here a while and would love to find a terrific family. Could it be you?
Hello. My name is Boyfriend and I am three-and-a-half years old. I was originally brought to BHS in 2010 because my guardians abandoned me at an apartment complex. I was adopted and then returned AGAIN because the person had allergies! I am very sweet, and love people and food. I am playful and kind, but I am NOT a lap cat. I would still make someone a great companion. I can sometimes be a real talker too, just depends upon my mood. If you would like to meet me in person, please visit BHS soon.
The adoption fee for Harley is $165, and $105 for Boyfriend. Plus get a free bag of starter food!
Enter to win Joe Flacco autographed prizes! Free entry on facebook.com/bmorehumane and at BHS, 1601 Nicodemus Rd, Reisterstown. Deadline February 6, 2012.
SOS! Save our Seniors! Want to adopt a calmer, more mature friend? Consider one of our Senior Dogs or Cats. Any over the age of seven have a discounted adoption fee of only $100 for dogs and $25 for cats.
2 Fur 1 -- Throughout the month of January, you can adopt one cat and bring along his or her feline friend for free. It's our way of keeping our bonded cats and kittens together forever.

Fistula Foundation believes no woman should endure a life of misery and isolation simply for trying to bring a child into this world. That's why we're dedicated to ending the suffering caused by obstetric fistula, a childbirth injury caused by prolonged, unrelieved obstructed labor that renders a woman incontinent – an injury that can only be treated through surgery.
What We Do
Obstetric fistula devastates the lives of too many of the poorest women in the poorest countries in the world. We work closely with dedicated and proven local doctors to provide high quality life-transforming care to the most women possible.
Where We Work
We have supported treatment at more than 100 sites in 25 countries in Africa and Asia.
We are the largest private charitable foundation supporting fistula treatment globally.
Support from our generous donors allows women living places like Ethiopia, Afghanistan and Bangladesh
to receive free, high quality fistula repair surgeries that can change their lives forever.
Our Progress
We do one thing: treat obstetric fistula.
We work closely with carefully selected doctors and hospitals to fund fistula treatment,
surgeon and provider training, and upgrades to facilities and equipment.
We achieve more, dollar for dollar, than any charity you'll find
For us, thrift is a core value. We keep our overhead low because money saved can be put toward life-transforming surgeries for women. But don't just take our word for it.

About a dozen Sabres took part in an optional morning skate in preparation for tonight's game against the Ottawa Senators. Jason Pominville and Shaone Morrisonn, both on the road back from injuries, were among them. Morrisonn skated on his own beforehand and then stayed on the ice and joined the team for the first time since suffering his groin injury in the final three minutes of the Oct. 13 overtime loss to New Jersey.
"It's getting better every day so that's really positive," Morrisonn said. "I don't know if I caught a rut in the ice or what happened that night. But I felt that pop and I couldn't really move. It hurt to walk for a couple days but from a week ago, it's making great progress."
Struggling Brian Elliott is expected to be in goal here tonight for Ottawa. After winning 29 games for the Senators last season, he's 1-2 with an ugly 4.62 goals-against average and .863 save percentage this year.
Maybe seeing Buffalo will get Elliott back on his game as he's been an absolute Sabre-killer, going 8-0 against them with a 1.89 GAA and .937 save percentage.
Ryan Miller, meanwhile, will play for Buffalo. For the season, he's 2-3-1, 2.35 and .915. But, like his team, Miller has been much better of late.
Miller's first three starts: 1-2-0, 3.39, .880
Miller's last three starts: 1-1-1, 1.33, .951
With New Jersey's win last night in Montreal, the Senators (1-4-1) are last overall in the NHL with three points. And GM Bryan Murray has been threatening changes, even indicating he's spoken to Minnesota GM Chuck Fletcher about a possible deal.

Undergraduate Convocation | Graduate Convocation
The College of Humanities and Social Sciences Convocation is an opportunity for the College to recognize the achievements of our outstanding graduating students. The Spring 2013 Convocation was, as usual, focused on our wonderful students and their accomplishments here at Sam.
One of the very special aspects of this institution is its students who are rarely typical, traditional college students. They are a special breed. Thirty five percent are the first in their families to ever attain a college degree, 29% are minority group members, they range in age from 20 to 64 and many are non-traditional students. Many have overcome tremendous obstacles in their journey to graduation. The awards given at the Convocation simply marked the successful culmination of that lengthy journey.
None of these graduates achieved success by themself. In order to accomplish their goal, each required the support, encouragement, and help of a large array of family, friends, teachers, supporters and yes even administrators. The CHSS Spring Convocation was also a time to recognize and appreciate all of these caring individuals who were crucial to the success of the graduate.
All of the faculty, staff, and administrators of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences congratulate the students on their outstanding achievements and thank them for affording us the opportunity to have them as our students. They make us all proud.
John M. de Castro, Dean

The Asus FonePad 7 2014 Edition bumps the specs of the enormous yet affordable smartphone first seen barely six months ago.
Boxee TV is a radical take on an over-the-air DVR that uploads, stores, and retrieves your recordings from the cloud, with no storage limits.
The 4.5-inch Android smartphone goes on sale on T-Mobile starting today.
The new service offers more than 600,000 Kindle e-books and thousands of Audible audiobooks for $9.99 a month.
A website that's since been taken down points to a service called Kindle Unlimited with unlimited access to e-books and audiobooks.
Smartwatches are cropping up everywhere, but which one is worth wearing? Right now, I still recommend Pebble, because it's the one that's found a way of sticking around on my wrist.
The IdeaCentre A720 has some enticing touch capabilities and design elements, but not enough meat in its apps or its core features to justify its cost.
At Google's I/O Conference, the company says 20 billion text messages were sent each day from Android devices over a 30-day period.
Echoing earlier reports, Bloomberg sources say the new models will sport screens measuring 4.7 inches and 5.5 inches, respectively.
That's $39 less than what you'd usually pay, and the offer is good even for former subscribers.

You can burn off the same number of calories (or more) as you would in a 1-hour aerobics class without ever setting foot in a gym or snapping on spandex. It's easy and it probably used to be part of your lifestyle.
Remember when you had to walk into the gas station to pay? When delivery pizza wasn't an option? When you mowed your own lawn? When you had to get off the couch to change the channel? These are just a few of the tasks that are becoming obsolete and depriving us of physical activity.
"Most people don't realize how very sedentary their life has become," says Steven N. Blair, PED (physical education doctor), director of research at The Cooper Institute in Dallas. According to Dr. Blair, a major (and often unrecognized) reason for the widening waistlines of Americans is this "gradual ratcheting down of daily life activity." The average adult expends about 300 to 700 fewer calories per day than her parents did, he says.
James Levine, MD, of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, has spent a decade studying the role that everyday movement, or NEAT (nonexercise activity thermogenesis), plays in metabolism. His discovery: People who tap their feet, prefer standing to sitting, and generally move a lot burn up to 350 more calories a day than those who sit still. That adds up to nearly 37 pounds a year!
The good news is that adding simple activity back into your daily life is an easy, effective way to shape up, burn calories, and get healthy. Here are eight simple ways to bump up your activity level--and burn calories.

From the KGW Archives:
In 1966 the Western "The Way West", an adaptation of the Pulitzer prize winning novel of the same name by author A. B. Guthrie, was shot on location in Oregon.
It was the first major film role for the then 20 year old actress Sally Field, who went on the win two Academy Awards and multiple Emmy Awards.
This intervew was part of a special KGW presentation on the making of the film that included a tour behind the scenes with actor Kirk Douglas as well as interviews with Richard Widmark, Robert Mitchum and Ms. Field.

On Oct 14, a Monroe police officer responding to the report of a 2008 Toyota Tacoma driving erratically on Route 34 in Newtown spotted it entering Monroe at around 2:35 a.m. He got behind the vehicle on Stevenson Dam and alerted State Troopers in Oxford. While behind the driver, police said the Toyota kept swerving into the other lane, nearly causing head on collisions on two occasions.
The Monroe officer stopped the truck for the safety of the operator and other drivers on Route 34 and waited for an Oxford trooper to arrive, according to police. Field tests determined the driver, Manuel Ixcaya, 36, of Hotchkiss Street in New Haven was under the influence, police said.
A resident trooper from Oxford arrested Ixcaya and charged him with DUI and operating without a license. He was released on $1,000 surety bond for an Oct. 26 court date.

A One-Name Study is a formal investigation and documentation of all occurrences of one surname and its variants, whenever and wherever those occurred.
The beginning genealogist generally does not set out to do a one-name study. If, however, you have a rare name you are attempting to document fully, or if you have worked at genealogy for a while and wish to enlarge your field of research, then a one-name study may be for you.
A complete explanation of this type of genealogical research, along with suggestions for how to begin, is found on the website Guild of One-Name Studies [/www.one-name.org/]. Read more about what is involved and look at a few documented one-name studies before choosing this type of research. Even if you are not doing a one-name study, you could have the opportunity to exchange information with researchers who are working on one-name studies. The principles are the same; only the focus differs.

Bordeaux 2011 - Super Tuesday: Over 40 releases overwhelm negociants, merchants
- Tuesday 15 May 2012
Calon: 40% down
Haut Brion released at €360 ex-negociant, down 45% on last year. Its sister wine La Mission Haut Brion has dropped 64% on the 2010 price, at €216.
Chateau Calon Segur is €39.60 (down 40%), Clinet at €50 (down 41.8%), Angelus at €138 (down 38.7%), Ferriere at €19.60 (down 14.04%), Langoa Barton at €31.20 (down 29.90%), and Chateau Kirwan at €28.50.
'This was a drop on our 2010, 2009 and 2005 price,' Kirwan owner Yann Schyler told Decanter.com, 'and lower than the closest price available on the Bordeaux marketplace, the 2008.'
Kirwan, however, highlighted the effect of the flood of prices. 'Did it come out?' asked one negociant. 'It got lost among everything else.'
At Berry Bros in London, director Max Lalondrelle said he had emailed negociants and courtiers to ask them to remove him from their mailing lists. There were so many wines, he said, that 'we could only pick one or two to sell.'
He said that the wines that were released yesterday - Margaux, Palmer, Lynch Bages and others - last year brought in £8m. 'This year, we sold £1.2m. Even with the fact this is a cheaper vintage, that is a huge difference.'
Another negociant, Jean-Pierre Rousseau of Diva, complained that 'flood' did no one any good as buyers focussed on top names and 'everyone else gets forgotten.'
'Every year we have this coordination problem. The brokers need to step in and organise things, because this flood is not profitable for anyone.'
The problem, he said, is that chateaux wait to see what the leaders are going to do.
'Lafite played that role right at the beginning of the campaign, and it is a great shame that not enough chateaux followed.'
One of the most surprising prices of the day was Chateau Quintus, formerly Tertre Daugay, now owned by Haut Brion owners Domaines Clarence Dillon. It came out at €96, an increase of 471% on last year's price of €16.80.

BATAVIA — A woman and three children were involved in an accident with a train in Batavia Monday night, killing two of the children.
The driver of the minivan, Tara Lewman, 25, drove around the stop arms at the railroad tracks on Fourth Street in Batavia shortly after 6 p.m. Monday, said Sgt. Russ Morey of the Iowa State Patrol. The van was struck by a westbound train.
The surviving child is 2-year-old Jordan Clark, who was life-flighted to the University of Iowa Hospitals along with Lewman.
Two of the children died in the accident: 5-year-old Kallie Clark and 4-year-old Erika Clark.
"I know the woman was conscious because a trooper interviewed her but I don't know the status of the [surviving] child," Morey said.
He could not definitively confirm whether Lewman was the mother of the three children.
"As far as I know, everything was working," Morey said of the horns and stop arms. "Nothing has been brought to my attention. There was a train on one of the other tracks."
The investigation is ongoing.

Catch-22 by Joseph Heller (7)
A humorous tale about the paradox of war and the desire for survival, that also manages to examine the violence and madness of conflict. Uses the popular technique of out of order story telling, and mixes in rapid fire, scatterbrained dialog sequences that are fun to read and humorous, but eventually drag on over the novel's length. Though the length seems obsessive, the end is climactic, and some of the paradoxes of war are driven home. This is definitely one of the greatest books I've read, and though the length and excessive vocabulary is a bit tedious, the novel really is a masterpiece.

I thought I would wait until the stove was delivered to use the pans, but decided to use them tonight......The pot I was cooking pasta in started to leak after about 2 minutes. It leaked from the rivots that hold the handles on. They are going back to the store tomorrow!

I picked this set up in the store. I work in industrial engineering, and I was impressed by the weight and quality of this cookware. Solid, well-designed, with outstanding heat dissipation. Overall, this is the best cookware set I've seen.

I was able to snag this item on a Black Friday sale and am so glad I did. I have used every pan since I received them and have not had any issues with uneven cooking or spotting, as long as I use Barkeepers Friend to clean. I like the clear glass lids because I enjoy seeing what I'm cooking. The handles do get warm, but I usually cook with cast iron so I am used to just grabbing handles with a towel or pot holder. For some reason, I was under the impression that the bottoms of the pan would be copper, but there is literally just a band that goes around the bottom. I feel like for the price I paid (around $90) this is a quality set that will last me, at the very least, longer than my nonstick lasted me. I will update this review if I have an issues or problems.

I just love this set! I bought these to replace the hard anodized set I had for only 3 yrs and were already gross. These cook evenly and cleaning them is super easy! I love cooking with them! =)

These pans are nice and heavy. Not the usual that comes out of china these days. I have a set of "new" revereware and the bottoms are so thin that when I used them once they warped. I have not used these pans much yet be I am confident that at least the bottoms will stay true. The edges are a little "sharp" so I will have to be aware but not so sharp that I cut myself. Pleased so far!

Pans (10 piece set) bought August 2013. The pans leak and could be a fire hazard!!! I bought these pans because my mother gave me one a few years ago and and I loved it. I used it everyday and it is still like brand new. The new pans are the same name but not the same quality. Worse, they leak at the handle connections spilling whatever you are cooking onto the stove (be sure it is not oil). They come out of the dishwasher with spots and a film coating while the old Kenmore pan comes out of the same wash spotless. Definitely lower quality but worse not useable due to the leak.

ok everyone ive had my pans for a few years and they look like new! food will not stick if you preheat the pan as dtated in your directions. if you get something that does stick you can use bartenders friend,it also works to renew the look of the copper band. if you want to clean the copper band you can also use tomato sauce. tha acid in the tomato removes the tarnish and makes them look new. if you doubt me take a penny and sit it in a little spaghetti sauce for about 20 minutes and see what happens

End of the Year Top 50
by, 08-19-2012 at 07:01 PM (1100 Views)
As the second top 50 I've done this year (cheating?), a LOT has changed. From now on until the end of the year, I don't expect much to change. I've gone through all the stat-sheets on every affiliate and included a few international signings as well. Age, performance, and relative level were all the most important factors. Tools also played a very important part. A player with a .300 BA and no HRs or SBs is not going to get anywhere here. From now on, I'll probably use this as a reference in regards to future rankings.

By Position:
There's a lot of talent overall and it would sure be nice to have some more pitchers 'break out'.Collabello is the only one over age 24 because this is his first year in the minors and because he's also mashing. There's a lot of Outfielders I really like that don't get as much attention as the ones in the top 5. There's not much talent in Rochester and it's risky to count on anyone in the GCL. As for the whole system, it's pretty weak outside the top 15 or so. I can't wait for offseason promotions and I hope you enjoy this!

Chapter 1, Introducing the ADO.NET Entity Framework, introduces the reader to the basics of ADO.NET EF, why it is useful, and its features and benefits. It also covers designing the Payroll Database that is used by the model application developed in subsequent chapters.
Chapter 2, Getting started with the Entity Framework, discusses how to get started with EF – creating the Payroll Entity Data Model (EDM) and mapping the model to the database and writing a program to query data.
Chapter 3, Entities, Relationships, and the Entity Data Model, gives a detailed explanation of entities, relationships, and of each of the sections of the Payroll EDM.
Chapter 4, Working with Stored Procedures in the Entity Data Model, explains how we can map stored procedures in the EDM and use them in our applications.
Chapter 5, Working with Entity Client and Entity SQL, discusses the ESQL query language and how to work with the Entity Client provider. It also explains the differences between Entity SQL and Transact SQL.
Chapter 6, Working with LINQ to Entities, includes a detailed discussion on using Language Integrated Query (LINQ) to retrieve data from Entities, with lots of code examples.
Chapter 7, Working with Objects Services, provides a detailed discussion on the Object Services Layer and its powerful features for reading, inserting, editing, deleting, and serializing objects and binding them to data controls.
Chapter 8, Working with ADO.NET Data Services, provides an introduction to ADO.NET Data Services and using them with EDM to perform CRUD operations.
In Detail
The ADO.NET Entity Framework is a new way to build the data access layer of your Windows or web applications. It's an Object Relational Mapping (ORM) technology that makes it easy to tie together the data in your database with the objects in your applications, by abstracting the object model of an application from its relational or logical model.
This clear and concise book gets you started with the Entity Framework and carefully gives you the skills to speed up your application development by constructing a better data access layer. It shows you how to get the most from the ADO.NET Entity Framework to perform CRUD operations with complex data in your applications.
This tutorial starts out with the basics of the Entity Framework, showing plenty of examples to get you started using it in your own code. You will learn how to create an Entity Data Model, and then take this further with Entity types. You will also learn about the Entity Client data provider, learn how to create statements in Entity SQL, and get to grips with ADO.NET Data Services, also known as Project Astoria.
Learn to build a better data access layer with the ADO.NET Entity Framework and ADO.NET Data Services
This book is written as a tutorial, leading you through examples to illuminate the main theory and get you working with the Entity Framework as quickly as possible.
Who this book is for
This book is for C# developers who want an easier way to create their data access layer. You will need to be comfortable with ADO.NET, but you don't need to know anything about the Entity Framework. Along the way we will create some ASP.NET applications, so being familiar with this will also help.

So the Democrats in Congress caved in and the Iraq catastrophe continues. What a surprise. Who'd of thought? I never saw that coming. So what are all you brave bold Democrats going to do now; write an angry e-mail to your reps, get your crazy hats and creative signs and march to some empty buildings in DC? Ooooh you go get'em! The members of Congress must be shaking in their boots…from all the laughter that is!
I have a few questions for Democrats: Do you understand now? Are you starting to get it? Do realize that the issues facing out nation are not political and that they are actually criminal? Do you now realize that this thing you call democracy is a show and that representative government is now nothing more than a hoax! Do you realize that your party, along with the Republican party, is controlled by establishment figures, as are your wonderful do nothing sheep herding activists groups like MoveOn.org?
How many pretend hearings do you need to see before your realize that nobody is being held accountable for all the crimes being exposed during these meetings? What's the point?
The Democrats were not defeated by George W. Bush or the Republicans during the recent vote on Iraq war funding. They did not cave in. They VOTED to support the Iraq war. Let me tell you something my friends, if something is not right I don't do it. Period, end of story. If someone wants to hurt themselves I can't always stop them, but I never support them. I don't give anybody matches to light their cigarettes, I don't over fill the plate when my father eats over my house (for health reasons), and I would not vote for something that I don't believe in; no way, no how. Democrats in Congress made a clear lucid decision to continue on the path that this nation was on when Americans supposedly voted for change. No guns were held to their heads. They voted. Period, end of story. The Democrats have done nothing to change the criminal breakdown of our nation and unless unprecedented jail time is served by the members of the Bush administration and Congress who have treated this nation as the criminal electoral coup invaders that they are would, nothing of substance will have changed as a result of new Democratic control of Congress.
You think your party is better than the Republican party? Think again. Maybe Democratic principles are more human, compassionate and respectable than the greed and hate based theocratic Republican principles, but the parties are not controlled by the voters. They are controlled by the establishment. The one establishment that controls our government.
My friends, we have an executive branch that seized power via election fraud. Every single day for the past seven years new evidence is uncovered proving this. Many people are currently in prison for election fraud related to elections that took place over the past seven years and many more are under investigation or standing trial. If this nation had a legitimate press we would all know this but what this means is that election fraud has taken place. For Congress to pretend that this is not an issue Congress must not be of sound mind. But they are. It is just that they are not representatives of the people.
Democrats are good people but they are weak minded people. Their liberal disposition makes them too trusting of their fellow humans, especially those who call themselves Democrats. Just as with Republicans, all one has to do in order to earn the trust of a Democrat is talk the talk. That's it. Go through the motions. But just like Republicans, Democrats never look close enough to see that their leaders are not walking the walk. Democrats go over to websites like Crooksandliars.org every day to watch their heroes in Congress make bold statements or to watch bombshell confessions or news reports about Iraq, US Attorneys, manipulated intelligence, criminal irresponsibility related to providing everything from training to health care for the military, etc. Yet these Democrats, completely appeased by "hearings†and freshly disarmed by the assumption of power by so called Democrats in Congress, don't notice that nothing has changed. Nothing is becoming of any of this. The only difference now is that there are these little shows called hearings from time to time. That's it. Democrats don't seem to notice that nothing becomes of those hearings. It's just a show! "Hey Dems, look, we are fighting for you…so please don't revolt for real!â€
I have to admit that I was fooled to a point. I thought there were some members of Congress who represent the people. Even now I think guys like Ron Paul actually carry out their responsibilities to the people. But all I have to do is look at how fooled I was by Congressman John Conyers before my dreams of a legitimate American government come crashing down to Earth. Remember good old John Conyers; one of the few members of Congress who seemed to notice that this nation had a president most worthy of impeachment and decided to actually prepare articles of impeachment? Did anyone notice that this man worked his butt off to address the issues of high crimes committed by George W. Bush and his gang of PNAC thugs, but he only worked on this little project during the period when it could not possibly go anywhere; you know, when the Republican crime syndicate was controlling Congress. The moment the wonderful world saving Democrats took control of Congress, John Conyers' dog ate his homework. And guess what, the MoveOn sheep Democrats didn't blink an eye.
Let me say this very clearly; Democratic control of Congress was a staged event. The establishment orchestrated this in order to calm the public. They created a false sense of security for the millions and millions of people who were getting angrier by the day. Their little gate keeping activists groups like MoveOn.org were only going to keep the public under control for so long by marching the masses down to empty buildings in DC. So the establishment did the smart thing, they gave the Democrats a big useless pacifier: Congress. And just like any pacifier, you can suck all you want…but you're only going to end up with is spit!
Maybe this is good. Maybe as this joke called democracy becomes more obvious, the pathetic wing of the Democratic party will start taking seriously the very real mountains of evidence related to some real issues, like election fraud and 9/11! Maybe as this laughable in your face fumbling attempt at trying to appear to be doing the right thing continues, the Democrats in government will be the wake up call for the MoveOn sheep. Maybe the people will finally realize that something very serious is wrong. Something much more serious than they had previously believed. Maybe then the people will realize that the problems facing our nation are not all political, they are criminal. Maybe they will realize this this is not an issue of left versus right, it is an issue of the establishment versus the people and our so called democracy.
Folks, wake up. How obvious does it have to be. Wake up, smell the coffee, understand that there is a force, behind the scenes, that controls the agenda, and that your little vote is just just a pacifier. Wake up and realize that people who have researched this stuff and have been ridiculed and called conspiracy "theorists†are actually well researched observers who are trying to warn their fellow citizens. Maybe now you will start understanding this. Maybe this Iraq vote will serve as the first in a series of dots connecting what you see with what the so called conspiracy theorists have been telling you all along. Pay attention and start thinking for yourselves. When you do this you will realize that you are watching a show. A show put in place to keep you from getting out of your seats and doing something about the fact that our nation was taken over, a long time ago and that this thing called democracy is of no interest to the new management.
Your sheep herder activist groups keep you all very busy by marching you around and asking you to "tell Congress†this, or to "tell Congress†that. Save your energy. Stay home. Eat a carrot. Try to teach your dog to play chess. You'll get the same results. Don't waste your time or your money on these sheep herder groups. We live in an information age. We have telephones, cell phones, e-mail, web sites, faxes, text messages, bull horns, blimps, skywriters, posters, fortune cookies, and a billion other ways to get our message across. If we have to get in a bus and go down to Washington DC to yell at empty buildings with no media coverage in order to tell our representatives to represent us, the purpose of the trip should be to forcibly replace them with people who will represent us.
Democrats, smell the coffee. The problem is not political; it is sinister. You should be starting to understand this by now. Maybe when you finally understand this you will realize that even the events of 9/11 should come under your scrutiny. Maybe then I will welcome you into the reality based world. But until then, don't expect too much to change because your establishment Democrats have assumed office. Get rid of the pacifier. It is keeping you from legitimate satisfaction. Think about it!

What grade of gas does the Murano need
Oh, I didn't type all of that - I just copied the relevant section from the manual.
Keep in mind that in the US and Canada, what we call "Octane" is actually the Anti-Knock Index (AKI). So our "87 Octane" gasoline will be rated higher (91-92) in Europe. I think that's what the Manual was trying to say, but they made it somewhat confusing. The bottom line is, you'll be fine using Regular Unleaded (87), but may experience worse gas mileage, and the engine might perform slightly below the specs.
rosepointe Posts: 12I am curious to see what others are getting in mileage for the 2009 Murano AWD. I am only getting about 20MPG. Drove on the highway for 2 hours and it did not seem as though we were getting anything more that 20MPG. Have the car 3 weeks and other than the 4 hours up and back to State College today we have used it in town. I have used midrange unleaded 89 Octane gas. I think I will try to see if premium does better with mileage.
rovingeye Posts: 13So far I have had my 2009 Murano SL AWD for 1 week (8 days to be precise) and have managed a 20.2 MPG average for the first 350 miles with whatever gas the dealer gave me. Most of my drive have been a mix of city (with braking for traffic & red-signals) and a short drive up & down on I-287 in NJ. I see no reason why I should not be able to reach the EPA stated 23MPG.
I paid a hefty $34K OTD for the car (while the rest of the country was paying $30-32K OTD) and I definitely intend to use Premium Gas and keep the engine in prime running condition.
Will keep this forum updated on how the mileage I get in the future as well.
I used 87 for my 06 Murano SL-AWD and got 23 mpg (most of my driving is highway). The few times I used 91 was because the service station was out of regular - and I hardly noticed a difference. I traded it in at 60,000 miles for an '09 Murano which seems to be doing just as well using 87. Love that car!!
I still have my 1997 Pathfinder with 120,000 miles! In 2006 we wanted to trade up for a new Pathfinder and decided instead on a Murano after the test drive. The CVT transmission was super smooth and we never had any problems with it, though I've heard some complaints about earlier models. We just traded up the Murano for a new one but still have the 1997 Pathfinder - mostly for hauling stuff from the home store or garden center. It does 70 mph fine on the highway but there is not much pick-up if I want to pass someone. I am sure the 2006 model has a better engine and more upgrades. I personally find the Murano to be a sportier ride but you wouldnt want to use it to haul stuff or go offroad. Check the car history of both vehicles and then determine what you want from the vehicle - that should help you decide. Just my 2 cents.

A 27-year-old East St. Louis man has received a 40-year sentence for home invasion and armed robbery in Belleville.
Charles R. Wilson was sentenced on July 15, St. Clair County State's Attorney Brendan Kelly announced Wednesday. Wilson pleaded guilty to both counts.
Wilson entered a home on South 56th Street on Dec. 1, 2011, and caused injury to a 60-year-old female occupant by striking her repeatedly with a cane and broom stick, according to court records. Wilson, while armed with a cane, also took property belonging to another 82-year-old occupant by threatening the use of force, court records state.
Kelly thanked St. Clair County Chief Judge John Baricevic for the "strong" sentence and Deborah Phillips and the Belleville Police Department for their efforts in this investigation and prosecution.
Wilson is currently serving his sentence at Menard Correctional Center in Chester. His projected parole date is Dec. 2, 2045, and projected discharge date is Dec. 2, 2048.

This 1980 file photo shows actress and model Brooke Shields, left, with her mother Teri Shields. Teri Shields, who launched daughter Brookeís on-camera career when she was a baby and managed the young star into her 20s, died last week in New York City.
Teri Shields, the mother of actress and model Brooke Shields, has passed away at 79. She died in Manhattan last Wednesday after battling dementia for years, according to People.
A single mom, Terri Shields managed her daughter's early career, starting with a Dove soap advertisement gig when Brooke Shields was 11-months-old, The New York Times reported. Later Brooke appeared in the movie "Pretty Baby" as a child prostitute and in a controversial Calvin Klein jeans campaign -- both at the age of 15.
Brooke Shields, now 47, has yet to publicly comment about her mother's passing.
She told The New York Times in 1994 that she had a difficult relationship with her mother. "I grew up in an alcoholic household," she said then.
