DOCK OF THE BAY – The Falcons left their home in Flowery Branch, Georgia, headed for the Frisco Bay on Friday.
They were just sitting on the dock of the bay, ready to make this place their home.
They got off to a 14-0 start, but when it looked like the 49ers were going to storm back, the offense threw down a 21-point barrage.
After losing to New England, the Falcons felt they had nothing to live for. It was looking like, with the running game sidetracked, that nothing was going to come their way.
But instead of just sitting on the dock of the bay at Candlestick Park, the Falcons dealt out a 45-10 whipping, unknowingly paying tribute to Macon native Otis Redding and his classic hit.
Here are five things we learned in that victory that pushed them to 3-1.
1. Roddy White is not a possession receiver!: After holding out for nine days in training camp, White came into the game averaging 7.9 yards a catch (15 catches for 119 yards). He caught eight passes for 210 yards, including touchdown catches for 31 and 90 yards. He's now averaging 14.3 yards a catch, which is more in line with the 15.4 yards per catch he was averaging coming into this season and the 15.7 he averaged last season, when he made his first Pro Bowl trip.
2. Michael Turner can still break the big run: The Burn Unit (the offensive line) helped to spring the Burner for a big 33-yard gainer. He didn't eclipse the 100-yard mark for the second time this season, but he did average a hearty 4.4 yards a carry. He finished with 97 yards on 22 carries and three touchdowns. The burst appeared to back.
3. Matt Ryan can beat you throwing the ball: Ice, Ice baby. Ryan threw for a career high 329 yards and continued his torrid completion rate. He connected on 22 of 32 passes. Teams have stacked the box, daring Ryan to beat them. He's 3-1 against that strategy. He's 1-0 in blowouts when he has a solid rushing attack to support him.
4. Shaun Hill is not invincible: The 49ers quarterback was 7-0 at home. He's now 7-1. The 49ers can't win with him throwing the ball 38 times. The Falcons also had three sacks from Kroy Biermann, John Abraham and Thomas Johnson.
5. Jamaal Anderson might be a defensive tackle: He started the game at defensive tackle with Biermann playing left defensive end. Anderson had two assisted tackles and two quarterback hurries.
6. "Doctor" Dre Bly is not Deion Sanders. He's not even Dr. Dre the Rap star and producer. His name is probably Andrew (Looked it up, it's Donald Andre): This has to be the bone-headed play of the year. Bly put his hand on his helmet and was about to go into high-stepping mode when White tackled and stripped him. Center Todd McClure recovered the fumble to keep the Falcons' drive alive that ended in a field goal and a 38-10 lead. He also had a stupid facemask penalty earlier. Now, I know why Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff kept deflecting questions about signing Bly over the offseason. They Falcons needed cornerback help. But not this kind of help. TD kept saying something about the locker room, but he really must have meant "I'm not signing a 'me first' player.' " Mind you, the 49ers were down 35-10 when Bly decided that hand-to-the-helmet and high-stepping was in order.
Next Up: Da Bears! New quarterback Jay Cutler has them off to a 3-1 start. They are coming off a bye week and will be ticked. They had the Falcons beat last season before Matt Ryan's heroics in the final 12 seconds. Also, teams coming off the bye week have won 59.9 percent of the games (57-38-1) over the last three seasons, according to Elias Sports Bureau (Give Jeff Schultz some love for digging out this stat!). This is the first of four games the Falcons will have facing a fresh team coming off a bye week. Dallas, Washington and the New York Giants will also have byes before facing the Falcons.

This game reminded me of they way SF did this to us during their golden years. We looked solid in all areas of the game. It was especially good seeing that the defense did not want to give up a meaningless touchdown at the end of the game. Seeing them blitz on every down proved that.
Jamal Anderson looked pretty good and seemed to get a good push up the middle. True this is one game but maybe DOL has a point.

Great way to come out following a too early bye week. Nice to see Norwood back. I swear I thought I saw Jamal Anderson with his hands on Hill several times, only to see him slip away or toss the ball away (or was it the beer?)
Jay Cutler ain't no Shawn Hill…defense / offense will need another solid performance to grab a win from Da Bears…
October 12th, 2009
7:28 am
Funny how just last week on "Mike and Mike" they labeled the Falcons and 49ers as "maybe teams"… but not on the level of the Giants, Vikings, Philly etc… So now that we STOMPED the other "maybe" team… will we get the credit we deserve!??
And how terrible were those Fox announcers? And Dre Bly just lost any respect i ever had for him as a athlete!

One other thing. Moose and Kenny Albert…what's up with those a-hole apologists? They spent the whole damn game talking about "what was wrong with the niners", how the niner's defense was "off", how the niner's would be controlling the game with Gore, etc.
I mean..how about simply stating that the birds were the far superior team and gave the niners an ass whuppin right on their home turf? I wanted to toss the romote through the screen. Only Tony G had the cajones to tell people that the niners had played a weak schedule and maybe weren't the magical team everyone thought they were!

Could someone PLEASE shut up that fat guy in the end zone??? Tony Serogusa (probably mis spelled) is a jerk who knows very little about footbal and even less about analysis of a game. He should be relegated to AFC games!
October 12th, 2009
8:10 am
I really believe that game was one of the better ines we've had so far. We have to win against less superior talent. I think the Bear's D is not as high caliber as it was. So what if they are coming off a bye. Screw the stats. Here's a stat for ya: SF had a top 10 D before yesterday…..check the stats now. Numbers mean nothing, only winning….and thats exactly what I expect us to do again Sunday! Good job Birds, let's make it 2 in a row!
October 12th, 2009
8:12 am
Sure was nice for this old-timer to see a lop-sided score in Candlestick tilt in The Birds favor for a change. Still can't decide if the Falcons looked that good or the 49ers looked that bad. Doesn't really matter, does it? The Birds did what winning teams do. Does the 43 yr. streak end? Finally?
October 12th, 2009

Great game,Go birds. Bring back FALCONS SORRY, I miss his racist comments.
Bring on Da Bears!!!!!!!!
October 12th, 2009

Vick Supporter????Noodle Arm???????Falcons Sorry?????? Oh, man come on guys we're worried about you. Let us know that your still OK! (Gutless punks)How did Flacco and that vaunted Ravens OFFense do yesterday?? Why they managed to produce ONE touchdown and Flabby Arm had less than 200 years total passing. Ohhhhhh, the humanity.
October 12th, 2009
8:16 am
Great win by the Falcons as they had opportunities, took advantage of their opportunities by scoring touchdowns, and put the 49ers away by displaying a killer instinct and stepping on their throats when they had the chance by not only going up 28 to 10 thanks to the fumble recovery on the kick-off more importantly marching down the field for another 7 points and taking the score to 35-10 when they got the ball back with almost 5 minutes left in the half. That score broke the 49ers will.
Now, we should also recognize that the 49ers were without their star running back and their offense relies on the run to set up the pass. So we did not see their true offense. Still, its a major step forward when a team comes out and beats another one when their down.
We need to stay focused because the Bears will be coming of a bye and will want revenge from last season's victory by Falcons snatched from the jaws of defeat.
October 12th, 2009
8:20 am
Yeah, those Fax Sports booth apes really irked my butt. They spent the first quarter hooting up the 49ers D and all of the second half denying that they had even mentioned it.
Saragoosa really blows. He needs to be working hockey games in Canada.

8:20 am
Steve, Siragusa used to play pro football with the Ravens. He's forgotten more football than you or I will ever know. This was a statement game. The Falcons are squarely in the hunt. They outplayed SF in every aspect. Hope the momentum continues at home vs. Da Bears!
October 12th, 2009
8:21 am
Gotta love this. After all those lean years when we were in the West, going out to SF and getting shellacked. I know times are different know, but regardless, this was a little sweet revenge.
Way to go Birds.
October 12th, 2009
8:29 am
No Gore was not playing but our offense still put 45 points on the board against their defense. Even if Gore played still would have been a Falcon win.
O'noodle arm was near perfect today. Good win!!!
October 12th, 2009
8:31 am
Beatdown is the word for yesterday's game. I had a feeling the Falcons would play with intensity yesterday, but they surpassed my expectations. Yesterday's game was the first one this season where I felt like I was watching the exciting team from last year. The big play was back, the running game was back — the Falcons are back!! Can't wait till next Sunday. Go Falcons!!!
October 12th, 2009
8:44 am
Someone said it right…the analysts spent the whole damn game talking about the 49ers…what they have done right, what they were doing wrong, what they needed to do. Nothing much at all about how good the Falcons looked or how good they were prepared or how they were just kicking the s*#t out of the 49ers! I guess it's gonna take a Superbowl win for the Falcons to ever get any love in the world of the NFL. That being said, i do think maybe they need to put Norwood or someone more explosive back there on kickoffs. I'm sorry, but Weems is just not a KR or PR. WE need to get better field position on kick returns because we will definitely need it down the stretch against those tougher opponents coming up! GREAT GAME!
October 12th, 2009
8:50 am
The Fox coverage was incredibly pro 49ers for well over the first half.
The Falcons were not getting it right – the 49ers were getting it wrong, according to Loose and Goose?
(Terrible nicknames)
It was great to see the team shut them up – although for those cement heads – it took 3 quarters.
The cameras also spent an incredible amount of time on the mug of M Singeltary and his halpless team on the sideline.
Shouldn't they at least pretend to be impartial?

Will wonders never cease! Grimes actually hit somebody. I supect that Niner dodged into him and he couldn't help it.
Whatever, he still needs to go. He is mostly as useless as teats on a boar hog.
October 12th, 2009
9:09 am
Another thing…it will be key down the stretch that Turner gets more carries. He needs at least 25 to 30 carries a game. That will give him the opportunity to break a couple big runs during a game. Norwood is a good change of pace but they have got to get him the ball more somehow..(ie screens). Why do we not run any screens? You get some blockers out in front of Norwood or Turner and they will be gone. That will also help slow down other teams pass rushes and it will help the run game.
October 12th, 2009
9:24 am
Do I hear a baby crying, 'All I'm saying"…. ? Injuries are part of the game. We lost Jerious Norwood for a while and he gives us break away speed in the backfield. What did the Falcons do? They made adjustments. They used a rotation of many backs and got the job done. Singletary lost control of his players and the game by acting like a kid who got punched on the playground. I'm so glad the Falcons didn't get him.
October 12th, 2009
9:32 am
What a game! The Birds played like they expect to beat any team on any day! Complete effort! Especially proud of the two times the 49′ers were tackled from behind after the interception and the long pass. We never gave in. Probably the best overall team the Falcons have had since 66. No showboating after great plays, well…except for the one attempt by Roddy to imitate Carl Edwards! If they do celebrate, they do it as a team! No one ever mentions that. Gotta be Mike Smith's influence. What a class guy! The booth pukes were nauseating. I thought "Goose" was gonna cry at one point. He just couldn't understand how the great 49′ers were getting pounded by this upstart team. Gotta love it! Is there someone we could write to at Fox to make them give us decent announcers?
Can't wait till next Sunday!!!
October 12th, 2009
9:33 am
Great game on both sides of the ball. I will be in the house this coming Sunday. Singletary should just go on the motivational talk circuitfull time. He was too emotional, really showed his a$$, and lost his players early.
October 12th, 2009
9:40 am
First off….it was great to see Norwood back on the field. All facets of the team (offense, defense, special teams) played great in the win against the 49ers.
The "REAL" Falcons' fans need to show up this coming Sunday night and ROCK THE DOME!!!!! It should be sooooo loud in there that I'll need to take ear plugs. GO FALCONS!!!!
October 12th, 2009

The " beer man" (Kroy) has arrived in Atlanta. Did anyone notice that the FOX announcers repeatedely referred to Kroy Beirman as the "Beer Man" during 49ers game ? I feel sorry for the Miller Lite Beer Man having to take a back seat to the Atlanta Falcon's new Beer Man .
October 12th, 2009
9:53 am
I love the people who are saying "Oh they didn't have Gore" It's fine keep making excuses for every time we win. The real fans know that this team is f'in stacked, and the team believes in themselves, their QB, and their coach. Last I checked Gore didn't play D, and our O absolutely destroyed that vaunted D.
What is the excuse going to be next week?
October 12th, 2009
9:56 am
Turning the tables is sweet. Putting 45 on SF on their own field, is a little payback for all those embarrassing divinsional losses we had to them at the hands of Montana, Rice and Steve Young. Go Falcons!

"dock of the bay" metaphors. dude, you're the primary beat writer for a large metro daily. act like it and spare os the corny "i work for a weekly and thought this was clever" writing. most of us here are adults who could use some adult commentary on the events that transpired. a little more maturity — here and in much of your typical "light" jargon — would be refreshing.
October 12th, 2009
9:57 am
One thing noticeable in this game, the overall non stop hustle… everyone will highlight White stripping Bly, or Jenkins running cover for Whites long TD run.. but did you all notice Dahl, Clabo down field blocking after pass receptions.. and on the DE side,so many team tackles and Jamaal may have found his new home( Maybe..fingers crossed).
I think the team that showed up Sunday was the team we were expecting all year.,..
October 12th, 2009

That was about as satisfying a victory for me to watch as any in memory. It was satisfying because it seemed like every sports prognosticator and their mother picked the 49ers. The play-by-play commentators were even routing for the 49ers and with everything the Falcons did right, they would say, "what is wrong with San Fran?" I was actually yelling at the TV that maybe it's because we aren't Arizona, Seattle, or St. Louis!
It was also satisfying because I remember all those beatdowns Atlanta got from the 9ers back when the NFL was geography ignorant.
This week will be another test, but I'm hopeful that they will rise to the challenge. Many have posted that they "stole" a victory against Chicago last year. In my opinion, they simply took back a victory that they squandered. They got a kick-off return from Norwood to like the Bears' 20-yard line, played it safe with 3 running plays, and Chicago called three time-outs, leaving around 2 minutes left on the clock. They were playing for the field goal, instead of the guaranteed victory of a first down. The Bears loaded literally all 11 in the box and the falcons ran three times for minus 1 yard. The Falcons went for the field goal and Elam misses the chip shot. If he makes it, Chicago has to score that TD and get the ball back with 12 seconds left or however long it took them score. If Atlanta gets one first down, they run out the clock by taking a knee. Atlanta made a great play at the end to make a long field goal to "steal" the victory, but it should never have come to that. As happy as I was with the victory against San Fran yesterday, I was equally frustrated and angry with that victory. The only time I can remember still being angry after a Falcons' win.
I'm glad to see that others noticed how biased the Fox sports coverage was towards San Fran. I don't like that Atlanta will have a disproportional amount of games coming up against teams coming off of bye weeks, but if Atlanta is going to have a winning season and make a playoff push, they have to beat all comers at all times.

10:28 am
What a great game! Falcons football is exciting, they look like a true team that plays for each other, and the sky is the limit. Strengths over-shadow weaknesses and overall they were hitting on all cylinders.
The offense was amazing. Enough said. But someone pointed it out earlier and for me the highlight of the game was the refusal to give up the garbage touchdown toward the end of the game. That says so much.
I put on my jersey every week and hope for huge offensive numbers and enough D to get the win. But the hustle and urgency of the Defense is what's going to put this team over the top. Awesome win and can't wait until Sunday night!
It's also great when the Ryan haters have absolutely no material to work with. 110 passer rating vs a solid D and over 100 for the year by the way. We should be able to read these blogs this week without losing any IQ points for having read their mindless crap.

As an native Atlantan, I realize that the ATL sports franchises will never get the "respect" from certain announcers. Why should we care what the announcers think? Our team doesn't. It only affects our team when the referee makes blatantly erroneous calls. Otherwise, great game for the Falcons. Way too many penalties. We need to keep those down. GO TURNER WHITE RYAN! TWRNG (Turner, White, Ryan, Norwood, Gonzalez) were defenses are laid to rest.
October 12th, 2009
10:39 am
TBizzle, Daniel, bluto…Amen!! My sentiments exactly. I wrote about this weak beat writer last week only to have my response removed from this blog. I'm glad other true sports fans feel the same way.

SF GAME: It was an "A" performance but I'm concerned with some of Murlarkey's playcalling. The recurring play where Norwood and Snelling go out wide for a WR screen has gained -8 yards and yesterday led to a turnover. Scrap that play or use it as a decoy. And I'm not hounding MM on one play. Not feeding Turner enough. Abandoning the run too early. Not enough RB screens. ALSO, we have to stop shooting ourselves in the foot on offensive penalties that create long drives.
CHI GAME: The Bears almost "stole" one from us last year. WE outplayed them from start to finish. Cutler scares me but losing Urlacher negates that gain. We simply have a better squad plus we're at home. We should take care of our business. 4-1 and tied for 1st after Sunday.

I couldn't get over how impressive Mike Singletary's first timeout was, and niether could Darryl Johnston. Just a great, great, great time-out. Who cares if Roddy caught a 30 yard TD on the very next play or the 49ers couldn't challenge the fumble because they had no TO's left? That was a phenomenal time out, best one all season.

The Ryan to White TD after the timeout, after the announcers basically spent the next few minutes talking about how amazing he is and how amazing that timeout was, was a wonderful moment. Then Dre Bly show boating after the int, down 35-10, ON YOUR OWN 35 YARD LINE, was absolutely hilarious.
I am so pumped for Sunday night.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) – As police continue to search for 30 year-old Dominique Carter-Bryant's killer her mother, Belinda Carter, is trying to come to terms with her daughter's murder.
"It's not a dream. It's a nightmare. I can't wake up from. I want to wake up," Carter said.
Carter-Bryant was gunned down as she tried to get into the locked apartment entrance at the Salisbury Apartment complex where she lived early Saturday morning. According to Carter, her daughter lived in the complex with her 11 year-old daughter and her husband of 10 years.
"She has a daughter, an 11-year-old daughter, [who] looks just like her that I have to look at every day and remind me of my daughter that somebody viciously took," Carter said.
Carter says Dominique had been returning home from being out with friends when she was shot multiple times and left dead in the parking lot around 6:15am Saturday morning. Tonight, she is pleading for the public's help. She believes this was not a random act of violence because her daughter still had her purse and belongings on her when police discovered her body. "Somebody's got to know. They killed my daughter out right. They killed her, this wasn't a robbery. They killed my baby," Carter said.
According to Carter, her daughter was looking to move out of the Salisbury apartment where she lived because of the recent surge in violence and had plans yesterday to look at houses with her husband. One day after Dominique was shot and killed her mother is wants do know why her daughter was targeted.
"She was a good person, a loving person, a good mother…why would somebody take my child like this and just shoot her how many times?" Carter said.
Funeral arrangements for Dominique are still pending. Her mother tells WHAS11 her daughter would have celebrated her 31st birthday on March 7th, and her family plans on celebrating her birthday as away to honor her life.
Anyone with information is asked to call 574-LMPD.

The Tulsa Oilers Ice Girls will be holding auditions for the upcoming season on Saturday, July 31st, the team announced this week.
There will be two sessions. The first -- a skating session -- will be held in the morning at the Oilers Ice Center at 64th and Mingo with registration starting at 9:30 a.m. The second is an afternoon dance session at Gold's Gym at 71st Street and 145th East Avenue in Broken Arrow. It will begin at 1:30 p.m.
The Oilers Ice Girls have been around for only two seasons, but Oilers General Manager Taylor Hall says they've become an integral part of the team's entertainment presentation and it's hard to imagine what an Oilers game would be like without them now.
There is a 20-dollar registration fee for the auditions and applicants must be 18 years old by July 31st. Those interested should bring a headshot photograph as well as proof of age.
"We'll be looking for ladies that have a good personality and aren't shy about meeting the public," Ice Girl coordinator Jessica Barrett said. "Along with the skating and dancing, interacting with our fans is the most important part of being an Oilers Ice Girl."

Evansville Police have charged 27-year-old Antonio Handley with Possession of a Handgun by a Serious Violent Felon and Conspiracy to Deal Cocaine. He was arrested after police responded to his home for a shooting. Investigators determined the shooting was self-inflicted. He is still in a local hospital under police guard following surgery to remove the bullet from his leg.
Handley has prior felony convictions for drug charges that prohibit him from possessing a firearm. During the investigation, a juvenile in the home tried to leave with two handguns and 27 grams of cocaine valued at $2700. Police believe one of the guns was involved in the shooting. The juvenile was arrested on weapons and drug charges and placed at the Youth Care Center.
At the time of the shooting, there were 6 children in the house. They range in age from newborn to 15. The mother, 34-year-old Myia Payne, was arrested and charged with Conspiracy to Deal Cocaine and 5 counts of Neglect of a Dependent. The children were removed from the home by CPS.
Police believe Handley and Payne attempted to have the juvenile conceal the guns and drugs and remove them from the house.

A Potential Netflix Foe Bows Out
Demitri is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
For a company that's about to be crushed by competitors at any minute, Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) is looking safer by the day. After a week where the company's shares jumped 22% on a surge in bullish sentiment, Netflix saw a major potential threat, Dish Network (NASDAQ: DISH), give up its competitive challenge.
The pay-TV provider had planned to use the Blockbuster brand it purchased out of bankruptcy last year as a weapon against Netflix and its dominant position in the streaming market. But this week, pointing to a delay in regulatory approval, Dish Chairman Charlie Ergan said his company "no longer has plans to use Blockbuster as a nationwide video streaming or DVD-by-mail service." So it looks like Blockbuster won't be reanimated just for another chance at taking Netflix down.
This surprising piece of good news for Netflix comes on the heels of two eye-catching recommendations from Wall Street last week. On Monday, well-known investor Whitney Tilson pounded the table about Netflix shares, telling CNBC that he thinks the stock represents an outside shot at "a 10-bagger." And two days later, Citigroup reiterated a "Buy" rating on Netflix shares, with a bold $120 price target, a double from current levels.
But that type of optimism is still the minority view on this controversial stock. Dish's Ergan perfectly summed up the bearish argument on Netflix in a parting shot against the business, saying Netflix got a sweet deal early on as content costs were mis-priced relative to subscriber numbers. And now that content owners are wise to the game, Netflix is doomed if it can't dramatically increase membership to keep up with rising costs.
So who's right? Is Netflix a compelling investment from these levels or a money drain at any price?
I come down on the Citigroup/Tilson side of this argument for two reasons: overblown competition and rebounding consumer satisfaction.
What Competition?
I see the Dish network bow-out as an example of a key misreading of the competitive landscape that's had many investors write off Netflix's moat as nothing more than a mirage. Since content is all that Netflix offers, the argument goes, as soon as the content bids get high enough, Netflix's business model collapses. But if that thesis was right, wouldn't Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), with its large content investment, have made a dent in viewership by now? And HuluPlus, with its content industry backing, should have an easy time pawning off Netflix viewers. But at last count Netflix said that the company hasn't seen either competitor gain traction against members' viewing hours.
So bears have had to point at potential competitors -- currently the Coinstar (NASDAQ: OUTR) and Verizon (NYSE: VZ) streaming partnership that's coming soon -- as the threat that will be Netflix's undoing. In the bearish reading there always seems to be some company just over the horizon that's one content deal away from crushing Netflix. But this retreat by Dish Network shows that competing in the streaming market isn't as simple as just "buy content, make money."
Who's Satisfied?
And ultimately the weakness of competitors shows up in Netflix's customer satisfaction numbers. Citigroup found in its own survey that customer satisfaction levels are on the upswing for the company, with a growing chunk of customers picking Netflix as their first choice for streaming entertainment.
That reinforces what we learned this summer, that the company's overall satisfaction levels have rebounded from the 'Qwikster' lows and are bouncing back toward the Internet-leading levels they enjoyed before last year's unpopular price hike.
Bottom Line
So I think that if Netflix can meet its own subscriber guidance when it reports earnings in late October, it should finally put to rest the idea that the company is due for a competitive shellacking any day now. Netflix has seen competition in the streaming market for years and still managed to build share while boosting satisfaction, even in the wake of its epic PR fiasco.
The fact that competition hasn't figured out a profitable way to arrest this growth means Netflix has something that's worth more than a market that's temporarily free from competition. It has a defensible competitive position that's getting stronger, not weaker.

Amazon.com's Kindle Fire was easy to use, but not easy enough.
Most retailers know that consumers respond best when it's easy for them to shop (I'm looking at you grocers for putting the milk in the back of the store). That's why I was especially excited in November when the Kindle Fire tablet I ordered from Amazon.com Inc. arrived. Along with many other e-retailers, Amazon has a reputation for making it easy to shop on its site, and the Kindle Fire appeared to be another extension of that usability.
The Kindle Fire, with its 7-inch screen and Android operating system, would be my first e-book reader and a way to access Amazon's online video archives. What the Kindle Fire turned out to be, however, was only the second purchase I've returned to Amazon. What happened? Why was it worth it for me to return the device?
Before I get to that, let me declare that as a first effort the Kindle Fire is pretty good. Amazon had the iPad and other Android tablets as examples of what to include and what to leave out. For the most part, the Kindle Fire's fundamental functions, such as displaying e-books, watching videos and using the Amazon shopping app, work.
Also, let me declare that I own an iPad. A direct comparison between the two isn't entirely fair because their hardware is different and the iPad is more of a laptop replacement than the Kindle Fire. It is fair, however, to compare the usability of the two devices.
For me, the deal breaker with the Kindle Fire was its sluggish responses and how simple functions, such as adjusting the volume or returning to the home screen, were not as simple as I'd like. Amazon says it will issue a software update within the next two weeks to address many of these matters, a sign that I'm not the only disappointed buyer. But, as someone who already owns an iPad, it just wasn't worth holding onto the Kindle Fire.
One of my colleagues had similar thoughts about his Kindle Fire. He's going to wait for the update, hoping the performance will improve. But he's generally pleased with how the Kindle Fire performs now. He's an iPad owner, too.
As for what the Kindle Fire provides in access to content, it performed well. It just needs a little refinement in organization and making the software easier to use. I doubt that Amazon would invest in the Kindle Fire if its ambitions were not backed by investment. Rumors are swirling that the next version of the Kindle Fire already is in development. Perhaps that will be the one to buy. Again.

While deliberations went fairly smooth, tension filled the room when it came time to allocate fees for the Debate Team. High school students compete in campus auto contest Students get hands-on experience in automotive technology through competition By Shayla Craig correspondent I The Signpost Weber State University held the skills and hands-on portion of its 21st Annual Automotive Contest Feb. 1. The WSU automotive contest is for high school students enrolled in an automotive program. Top automotive students from Utah, Idaho, Oregon, Nevada and Wyoming competed for scholarships, tools and a vehicle for their school. There were two parts to the automotive contest. The first part was a written test, which took place Dec. 7, 2006. Approximately 600 participants from 54 schools participated in the written portion. The students took a 50-question test that covered five automotive ASE areas. Out of the 54 schools that participated in the first portion, 24 of them qualified for the skills and hands-on portion of the contest. Two students were then selected by their teacher to compete in the final portion of the contest. "This contest is a good way to get students to come to our school," said John Kelly, department chairman for the automotive program. "It's great exposure."

"I've been coming since 1998 and am very thankful to Weber State for putting it on," said Randy Daniel, a high school teacher from Burly High in Burly, Idaho. Daniel said the contest gives the students a chance to put their knowledge to use. He also said its good exposure to a college where students can further their education. The hands-on portion of the contest consisted of twelve stations with different skills that needed to be accomplished at each one. The contest lasted four hours with judges grading at each station. "This is a great hands-on experience," explained Kevin Snodgrass, parent of 17-year-old Daniel Snodgrass who participated in the contest. "The students are excited to be here and they have earned the spot to get here. It's exciting to be here because we're from a small community so its great exposure for my kid."

Weber State University has sponsored these games for more than 10 years now, along with many student, alumni and community volunteers. "The biggest thing that I have seen develop from these Special Olympians is the development of such high self-esteems as well as development of better social skills with others," said Laura Haislip, a coach and Special Olympic skating director for more than 21 years. "The thing that keeps me going is watching these athletes excel, watching the excitement they get, the camaraderie they get when competing... their families are so appreciative."

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

The Provider Payment System of the National Health Insurance Scheme in Ghana
The overriding concern of this paper is to examine opportunities and constraints of provider-payment system being used to manage health insurance in Ghana. Mindful of this objective, the study employed a survey approach to collect data, which involved the use of questionnaires, interviews and observation. Three out of the ten administrative regions were randomly selected to for the study. Thirty insurance schemes and 30 health service providers were randomly selected given that regions were our unit of analysis. Apart from these, 50 subscribers were purposively selected from Greater Accra; Central, Brong-Ahafo, and Ashanti regions were sampled for the study with a response rate of 97%. The results of the study show that inadequate funding characterised by delays in the release of subsidies result in the interruption of payment to service providers. Though the payment system is rated as satisfactory, it does not allow providers to achieve reasonable cash flow and as such it affects the value of health care provided to subscribers. The disruptions in re-imbursements can potentially undermine quality of health services provided to subscribers. It is therefore recommended that the national insurance authority devised mechanisms that will ensure prompt payment to providers as one of the several means of promoting quality healthcare.

Busulfan is available as a pill you can swallow. It is also available in an IV form, used for stem cell transplants.
How It Works
Busulfan is classified as an alkylating agent. It kills cells by interfering with the way they multiply.
Why It Is Used
Busulfan is used to lower the number of blood cells in people who have diseases such as leukemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
How Well It Works
Busulfan may help to gradually lower the blood counts for older people who have chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) but who cannot take other medicines or who are unable to maintain close and frequent medical supervision.1
Side Effects
Side effects are common with busulfan and may include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Busulfan should be used only under the supervision of a medical oncologist or hematologist.
You may not be able to become pregnant or father a child after taking busulfan. Talk to your doctor about this before starting treatment.
Busulfan can cause birth defects. Do not use this drug if you are pregnant or wish to become pregnant or father a child while you are taking it.

Decorative Pillows Under $25
There's nothing better than adding a touch of whimsy to your couch, chair, or bed. Throw pillows are such a great way to liven up any space. It's outrageous how expensive such a small item can be. Luckily I've found a few great sources for decorative pillows on the cheap.
If I could afford it, I would be an absolute pillow-aholic. I could easily become that lunatic with 50 throw pillows on my bed. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) most decorative pillows are just out of my price range. Knowing the difference between need and want has sadly kept beautiful pillows out of my life.
However, searching through sales and discounted retailers will easily pay off. With only a fraction of last month's pay check, you can add a few throw pillows to your home on the cheap.
• Cassie 18" Square Pillow from Crate & Barrel
• Hand Screen Printed Sleepy Dog from Robin and Mould
• Medallion Stitch Toss Pillow from World Market
• Folk Birds Pillow from Urban Outfitters
• Chrysanthemum Green Floral Pillow Cover from Mod Diva
• Why I Love Paris Pillow Cover from Word Garden
• Silver Foil Pillow from Urban Outfitters
• Petunias' Owl Pillow from Petunias
• Carrots Green 23" Pillow from CB2

How cute is that "sleepy dog"???
The owl is just too cute too!
I like the dog too. Anyone have Etsy shops for pillows or pillow encasements they recommend? I have a new couch and really want the few pillows to come from more unique sources than CB and UO.
My mom, sisters and I all share a shopping mantra - "We could make this!" I'm thinking the Cassie pillow looks like a great winter project.
Oh, the owl pillow from etsy is too much! I love bird themed items! I might have to get this!!
And by too much, I do mean the price! Its too much as in too cute
always love a great pillow
I could easily become a pillow-aholic as well. Pier One, World Market, and Etsy are my favorite sources (I wrote about them here: http://younghipandhandy.blogspot.com/2010/11/making-your-home-cushier-one-throw.html).
@Sarah, thanks. Checking out those pillows too.
love all these pillows!
I have been thinking about ordering some of these:
What an adorable pillows! I love the owl one. I remember the movie Legend of the Guardians from it. ^_^ Anyway, I would also like to share my collections of fair trade pillows, just visit our site below:

It was a dream come true for Phish fans in attendance at ROTHBURY as 3/4 of the band took to the stage. It all started innocently enough with Phish bassist, Mike Gordon, joining guitarist/singer, Trey Anastasio, for the last three songs of his solo acoustic set. Together they unveiled two new tunes, "Backwards Down the Number Line" and "Alaska", finishing the set with crowd thrilling Phish jam, "Chalkdust Torture".
Revelers left yearning for more after Trey's set didn't have long to wait as Anastasio then joined Gordon, who was scheduled to play minutes later at the nearby Sherwood Court stage. Fans we're hyped, the crowd was pumped, could it possibly get any better? The question was quickly answered when Phish drummer, Jon Fishman, stepped in to close out the set and sent the crowd into a frenzy of cheers and dancing with a rendition of the Beatles, "She Said She Said"
So could a Phish reunion be in the works? Mike Gordon said, "We all are liking the idea of doing something," he continues. "We've brainstormed some ideas about what we would do — then change our minds. But there's this sort of feeling something could happen, and we'd all be happy about it. But, again, we don't know any more than that."(Billboard.com) Phish keys player, Page McConnell's, recent statement, "the prospect of Phish reuniting is something I consider very seriously, and I think about it a lot"(Billboard.com)has only added to the speculation.
For more info, including complete set lists and head over to Jamtopia.com.
For now we'll have to wait, see, and be satisfied with the footage coming out of ROTHBURY:

Most people think that Tesla was transmitting power through the air, probably because they see the towers he built, hear that he was transmitting power and associate his operation with modern-day radio transmitting towers.
What was actually happening is he was collecting electricity at the top of the tower and transmitting it into the ground. The ground was his wire. Look at his patent for the wireless transmission of power and the tower is labeled as a "generating" device.
Look up "Art Bell's Antenna" and he accidentally stumbled upon Tesla's electrical generating capabilities. I don't have all the stats before me but Art got a continuous 350 volts from a radio tower that was about 80 ft tall and had a loop of about 1/4 mile of #2 wire.

Where did the energy, reputedly, come from?
Feb18-12, 05:27 PM
It has been rumored, but afaik not verified, that Tesla collected energy from naturally occurring electric fields. Wilhelm Reich was also known to "accumulate" electric fields in his accumulators (though he always called it something cool like "force of life and sexuality").
What we do know about Tesla coils is that in a well designed coil the oscillating field becomes very large and dies off rather slow. The Q factor is incredibly high, especially when operated at the "capacitive resonance" frequency, far higher than the usual resonant frequency. At this high frequency, the electricity no longer moves along the wire but along the capacitance between each turn of the coil. There is practically no current in an ideal Tesla coil secondary, which means there are no resistive losses and no magnetic-related losses whatsoever.
In his patents, Tesla is boasting how the upper terminal of his coil can reach "many hundreds of thousands of horsepower". This is not a lie for the coil maintains it's oscillation and even with a relatively small input power, the oscillating field can reach tremendous power over time. Tesla surely didn't have a continuous input power of many hundreds of thousands of horsepower. There is much confusion about this perceived "excess energy", but I hope the above has it in a nutshell.
But if Tesla indeed managed to collect large amounts of electrical energy somehow I'm all in to replicating such work. I didn't look up the Art Bell's antenna yet, but it sounds reasonable. We are surrounded by many naturally occurring and man-made fields. Art Bell's antenna could be receiving anything from Earth's ELF signals to AM radio of >250KHz.
There's also this guy who designed and built a Tesla coil alike high Q AM antenna and tuned it to resonate at the frequency of certain radio broadcast. As expected, his antenna begun oscillating and up to 30 watts of power could be received from the distant radio station.

The above terminology is a bit far fetched. Power ( "Horsepower" ) is a transfer of energy and not 'stored energy'. It is true that a resonant circuit (or a standing wave) will store energy but this has nothing to do with power. It's all about having a fairly high Q circuit. But a good receiving antenna will couple well to free space so it will not have a high Q.
This stuff about 'collecting' energy from 'naturally occurring and man-made fields' violates thermodynamics and basic conservation principles that even Nicola cannot waffle his way around. I could suggest that he was probably well enough informed to be aware of this and that it's his disciples who have over egged his claims.
Many antennae have a larger effective cross section for intercepting a passing wave than their geometrical shape would suggest (a thing wire dipole, for instance) but the power has to come from somewhere and, once beyond the local field of influene, the energy flux over the sphere will not be affected. Where this "30 Watts" is supposed to have come from is anyone's guess. What was the original transmitter power and what was the separation?
Since Tesla died, technology has progressed an awful long way. People seem to be suggesting that his ideas were, somehow, so magical that they have never been understood by anyone since. This is despite GR, Quantum Physics, String Theory, even classical EM theory and the rest. There has, somehow, to be a subset of knowledge that Tesla had - some sort of magic- that has escaped all the brilliant minds that have existed since his time. Get real chaps. If they were real and worth money then we'd have them in our homes, transport systems and weaponry.
Instead, what have we got? Fizzy sparks for school kids.
Feb18-12, 05:58 PM
The energy is the Earth's magnet that has been concentrated. Electricity is concentrated magnetic flux. When you put a coil of wires in front of a magnet the flux is concentrated in the individual strands of wire. Tesla's tower, or Art Bell's, essentially concentrates the Earth's magnetic flux into a measurable amount of electricity when it is released or grounded, that is to say released to the ground.
We all have assumed that Benjamin Franklin flew a kite in a thunderstorm and got shocked. But what really happened is that he flew a kite in broad daylight using a copper wire for a string and when a certain altitude was reached and he touched the attached key, he ground out the concentrated magnetic flux and shocked himself.

It's interesting that you quote Benjamin Franklin and not an experimenter of more recent times. Were you there to see "what really happened" and could you quote some figures to indicate just how much energy is available in this way? If it really were as you say it is, why don't we all have towers over all our houses to supply our energy needs? It's so wasteful to be burning all that gas and oil when towers could do the job. Set up a company and see if it makes you any money - based on results.
Actually, what you are proposing is outside the terms of Physics Forums in that it does not involve any peer- reviewed ideas.
Feb19-12, 06:43 AM
EDIT: He also used the regenerative circuit to increase the effective area of the antenna, sorry I didn't remember that one.
EDIT2: Nevermind, the regenerative circuit was only used in first of his tests, not the 30W one you were interested in.

Your posts and the link you have exhibit the same glaring flaw. That is there are no quoted figures and no serious experimental details.
All Science and Engineering involves details and numbers. That's why it tends to work when done 'properly'.
The fact is that there is no EVIDENCE to support this nonsense.
You either have to believe that there were successful results from the original work and they have been deliberately suppressed (conspiracy) or that no Scientist has had sufficient ability to take it to a successful commercial conclusion (cockup).
Else you could just admit to yourself that it's all moonshine.
That link is no more than a rather garbled version of a straightforward EM text book. But with one thing missing - solid theory.
Feb19-12, 09:50 AM
I've provided details of my last experiment and given a reasonable explanation of how the transmission works, which obeys all laws of the prevalent physics. And once again I'm told that the tesla transmission is nonsense.
You have all the right to not believe what you haven't seen with you own eyes, but please keep it to yourself. It isn't very good science to come over and tell an experimenter he's wrong just because what he does isn't in the book.
And by the way, please don't take the link against me here. Whatever the author has written is his opinion, not mine. I agree with the idea of a resonant receiver becoming part of the transmitter circuit, but I don't have enough knownledge to comment on anything else he might have said.

i repeat, at first glance resonance looks a lot like energy creation but in reality it's energy storage.
Q being ratio of energy stored to energy dissipated per cycle,
a substantial amount of energy is expected in a high Q system that's gently excited at its resonsnt frequency.
But the energy came from the excitation source , in tiny little bits one cycle at a time..
That's why soldiers marching across a bridge break step.
If you ever lived with a Piano, you've heard individual strings come and go in sympathetic vibration with sounds in the room. Room sounds are the excitation source and each individual string is a high Q resonator.
I'm still waiting for a "Free Energy" experimenter to identify the source of excitation more specifically than "Earth's magnetic field" .. and not holding my breath on that one.
But i find your 14mhz transmission experiment producing 380 mv across ten ohms interesting.
That sure is one heck of a directional antenna pair!

Your experimental results show that it is possible to get coupling between two circuits (a pretty common thing). In fact you have not given a 'reasonable explanation' for the results because they need to be analysed properly. And the results, in fact, tell you very little.
I question that your claim of 95% efficiency. To prove that, you need to be looking at Power and not just a voltage across a resistor. You can only use Current or Volts as a measure of efficiency if the impedances are the same. (A transformer can appear to be a fantastic amplifier if you don't obey the rules). Are you aware of what Jim is telling you about resonance?
What is the output power of your signal generator and the actual power delivered to your LEDs? It may be quite hard to determine this, actually.
You mention a School. I sincerely hope you are giving any students a balanced view of their Science and not taking them down strange, alternative paths. Young people are easily lead and the Tesla legend could be dangerously attractive.
Feb19-12, 02:04 PM
jim, in one of my posts I explained why Tesla coils have such high Q and that it's exactly what "excess energy" seeking people get so exited about. I hope it didn't give you the wrong impression that I would think there is excess energy. I see what you say and I completely agree. Also, thanks for the compliment :) but I must note that Tesla coils are not directional antennas in the traditional sense. They are more like plates of a capacitor, the entire space between them being the dielectric. A properly operated Tesla coil doesn't create large magnetic fields.
and sophiecentaur, sorry for not being clear enough in my previous posts. The resistor were of same type, 10 ohm (very close, measured with a multimeter) and the coils as identical as possible. The impedances were same and that's why I didn't bother mentioning current or power. Voltages are true RMS measured with an oscilloscope.
I don't think I'm leading any of my fellow students down a wrong path.. I'm an experimenter, not a theorist. I'm not one to tell people how things are, instead I show off Even our teacher was surprised when we lit up fluorescent lamps by holding them in our hands ;) (a joule thief buzzing in the background.)

"They are more like plates of a capacitor, the entire space between them being the dielectric. "
I did not do well in fields or vector calculus courses so can't offer any worthy commentary.
"... A properly operated Tesla coil doesn't create large magnetic fields.""
Yet i have read that E and B fields are inseparable..
So i just make mental note of experiments like yours , and if Fate ever wants me to understand fields better one of them will be an epiphany.
"When the student is ready a teacher will appear".
Meantime i just watch while folks like Sophie and Yungman and Bassalisk et al enjoy the advanced math.
Maybe we'll get back to an Aether and maybe it'll be anisotropic.... some of my friends over at Neutron Repulsion toss about such ideas. I feel like Charley working in that bakery...(Flowers for Algernon)
Thanks for the clarification and thanks to all for letting me share your playground..

I get the impression that your attitude to this business is tailor made for the Tesla religion. Just approximate enough to feel you understand the arm waving but not rigorous enough to use the Equations to tell you what exactly is going on and to keep you on the rails.
You are a student, I realise. It is great that you have enthusiasm. If you really want to follow this fondness for Science to take you into a career, you will need to go through the pain of formal treatment of all these things. You will then be able to see what you have read in its context. Take it from me, conventional EM is NOT WRONG. The terms you are bandying about have much more exact meanings than you seem to realise. When you have got some substantial knowledge of the topic then you can usefully take the subject into 'paid employment'.
If you want to beat 'em then you will have to join 'em first - like all the successful and celebrated workers have done. You seem to have a good, healthy disregard for 'excess energy', in principle - and that reassures me.But I think you need to see the overall picture and that a lot of what you are describing is, in fact, just that. These Energy Sources are not actually Sources - they are just (Low-grade) Energy Levels. There is loads of thermal energy in the Arctic Ocean - it's just not a lot of use because the temperature is so low. Likewise with your 'unspecified' energies that exist in the World. The Energy sources you hint at don't actually represent energy that can be utilised. Like I said, the Conservation Laws and thermodynamics can't be ignored. The Numbers count: use 'em.
Feb19-12, 05:17 PM
Okay, now I see that I wasn't clear enough. Sorry.
The LED test and the efficiency test were two separate tests. In the efficiency test, the 10 ohm resistor was the load impedance. The only component connected across the terminals of the primary coil, which means all the current in the primary goes though it. At the transmitter end, a 10 ohm resistor was connected in series with the primary and function generator, again all the current from the function generator goes though the 10 ohm resistor. My teacher was following the experiment and I can assure you I did everything with great care.
I hope I didn't upset you. I don't have a fraction of the knowledge and experience you have. I'll take your advice and learn more :)
I hope to take pictures and more accurate measurements of my new setup when it's finished.

Never upset - don't worry.
My point is that your 10Ohm resistor measurement will not tell you the power unless you know source and load impedances. If you have resonant systems it is even less easy. So, apart from the fact that you lit your diodes, you cannot know the efficiency.
But there are two entirely separate issues here. You have shown that it is possible to get good coupling between a source and load, using a transformer but that has nothing to do with the notion of getting energy from other, unspecified, sources of RF energy. You did not take my point about Conservation Laws, but they apply here the same as anywhere else and they are the basic objection to 'excess energy' and also to this. Going back a bit, you are actually suggesting the equivalent to a 'Maxwell Demon', which has been put to bed long ago.

- I am not familiar with the laws of thermodynamics and the conservation of energy.
- I have claimed that my coils would "collect energy"
I never claimed that Tesla coils had something to do with "collecting energy" nor did I make the slightest implication that my coils were in any way associated with the whole subject.
I didn't comment on your point about energy conservation laws and thermodynamics because I wasn't ignorant to them in the first place. You say that I was "suggesting the equivalent to a 'Maxwell Demon'".. I do not recall making such a suggestion.
Also, I must say I am slightly offended by your refusal to believe that I and the teachers of my school know how to measure efficiency.

Nike Zoom Flight 95 HoH "J-Kidd Career Pack" – Available Now
We got a look at a special pack of the classic Nike Zoom Flight 95 model that pays homage to Jason Kidd's basketball career a few months ago, and it looks like the sneaker has started to arrive at HoH locations. Dubbed "J-Kidd Career Pack", these Zoom Flight 95 will come in four colorways to represent the teams he played with throughout his career.
These two colorways shown here represents the New Jersey Nets and Cal Golden Bears respectfully. There are two more colorways representing the Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks as well. The Nike Zoom Flight 95 HoH "J-Kidd Career Pack" is available now exclusively through HoH retailers.

They both look pretty good. Now if this was another one of the J-Kidd HOH Flightposite like the Mav's inspired one that dropped in Harlem years back, then I'd prolly be crazy for em, but we'll see how this flight 95 looks in Mav's and Suns, and hopefully a Kicks colorway too.
But Yellow for sureout of these two, although it's close cuz they both look pretty good with that clear bottom sole….
I walked in on these a day after the release and got the Yellow Pair…Str8 fresh, little hype, and I love that part…I doubt they will be there more than a few days though!
I think I love the fact there was BARELY any info on these (only was TSG previously posted) you just had to walk in and see them…No camping, no presale, just random and gives everyone a chance!
