Godzilla is running loose again and its "Dr. Frankenstein" is at it again. The Japanese Nissan GT-R is already considered as one of the most menacing beasts on the streets, but when you add the aftermarket know-how of Switzer , then special things happen.
And we mean special.
One of the GT-Rs that has gone the way of Switzer's magical tuning process is this monster called the "Red Katana," a model based on the first R1KX model Switzer GTRs to hit the drag strip. The fully-customized GT-R has been equipped with a twin-bill of bone-rattling performance and a plush exterior and interior set-up with the latter including high-quality carbon fiber and Alcantara. In addition, the car also features a high-end audio system that will shake the roads.
The real highlight is the Switzer's R1KX engine set-up that takes the mighty Red Katana's performance capabilities into the realm of the unfathomable. Yep, all 1,500 horsepower's worth of it. In case you need any more convincing, this red rocket recently hit Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio last weekend and blazed the strip with a quarter-mile time of just 8.97 seconds at a speed of over 163 miles per hour.

For data lovers, the Flower Power tracks and charts well. For everybody else, the Flower Power lacks the convenience of the competition.
Excessive heat and degraded performance make the Silicon Power Thunder T11 appropriate only for casual Mac users.
A bigger battery puts the Ego Power+ a cut above the competition.
If you're set on an Electrolux stick vacuum, I recommend the Ergorapido Power over the worse-performing UltraPower Studio, but the Hoover Linx offers superior value and performance.
With a built-in environmental sensors, smart USB ports, and promises of IFTTT-compatibility, these crowdfunded plugs could put some pressure on WeMo.
The Power Practical PowerPot V is a useful gadget for connected outdoor-types, and $149 seems like a fair price for anywhere charging capability -- whether you're camping under the stars or hanging out at home during a power outage.
The Moga Ace Power successfully turns an iOS 7-equipped iPhone into a full-fledged gaming handheld, and adds enough buttons to cover all bases when more games arrive to work with it.
This power strip is smart, but "Genius" might be pushing it. Even though it has only one socket, for now we still prefer the Belkin WeMo Switch.
Sporting a 2,350mAh battery inside, the Energi Sliding Power Case from Tylt keeps your Samsung Galaxy S4 powered up when you're on the go.
Fast and affordable, the shockproof Silicon Power Armor A15 is an excellent buy for mobile users, especially those working in rough environments.

Wind farms are typically located in remote, sparsely populated locations. The big turbines work best when they have good access to undisturbed (and therefore faster moving) wind. So rural and we recommend viagra no prescription canada off-shore locations have been the best choices. But, while they're good for generating electricity, those aren't the places where most of the power is needed.
In the middle of Albany NY, on top of the 41-story Corning Tower, the city's tallest building, a small test wind turbine has been erected to study the available wind and help determine the feasibility of having larger building-mounted turbines for electricity production. The test turbine has only a 7-foot diameter and can produce just 1.5 kilowatts of electricity when spinning at full capacity. That is http://www.guenstige-versicherungen-online.de/cheap-levitra-order-online less than one-tenth of one percent of buy viagra china the power that the building uses, but it's just for the levitra delivered overnight test.
Urban settings are generally considered less desirable for wind power generation, and the swirling winds found in a city are difficult to harness efficiently (although vertical-axis turbines are better suited for winds that rapidly change direction). Wind power design guidelines typically indicate that having a higher tower means the turbine is able to reach stronger winds, which means more power generated. The tallest buildings in a city may offer access to high, unblocked (and not swirling) winds that are fairly powerful and productive.
We've seen some concepts for both small, building mounted turbines and other schemes for urban wind as well as examples of actual buildings with attached large turbines. There are several problems associated with building mounted turbines, ranging from noise and vibration from the turbine causing discomfort for the building inhabitants to look here online pharmacy viagra structural loading issues associated with the added equipment. These are problems that can be solved, though. If tall buildings do offer good wind access, then more urban towers may start sporting propellers on top.

Small but perfectly formed, Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio ranks among the top tourist destinations in the country – visitors descend in droves to experience its stunning, picture-postcard setting, with spectacular white-grey sand beaches fringed by thickly forested hills. The striking tómbolo formation of Punta Catedral, jutting out into the Pacific, accounts for much of the region's allure, and as you watch a lavish sunset flower and die over the ocean, it does seem as though Manuel Antonio may be one of the more charmed places on earth.
That said, the huge tourist boom has undeniably taken its toll on the area, and the small corridor of land between the old banana-exporting town of Quepos and the little community of Manuel Antonio is one of the most crowded pieces of real estate in the country, featuring an unbroken line of hotels and lodges that run right down to the park's perimeter.Read More

Manuel Antonio beaches
Manuel Antonio beaches
The beaches around Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio can be confusing, since they're called by a variety of different names. It's important to know which beach you're on, however, because some are unsafe for swimming; check with the rangers about conditions. From north to south, the beaches are as follows:
Playa Espadilla (also called Playa Primera or Playa Numero Uno). This long, popular curve of sand fronting Manuel Antonio village runs down to the park exit, just outside the park itself.
Playa Espadilla Sur (also called Playa Dos or Playa Segunda). Espadilla Sur is the last beach you come to inside the park – the main trail towards the exit runs along the back of the beach. It's on the north side of Punta Catedral, and while usually fairly calm, it's also the most dangerous in rough conditions – beware the currents.
Playa Manuel Antonio (also called Playa Tres or Playa Blanca). Immediately south of Punta Catedral, and in a deeper and more protected bay than the others, Manuel Antonio is by far the best swimming beach, though you can still get clobbered by the deceptively gentle-looking waves as they hit the shore. Unfortunately, it's quite narrow and can get crowded (the best time to come is before 10am).
Playa Puerto Escondido (also called Playa Cuatro). Reached along the Sendero Puerto Escondido, this is a pretty, white horseshoe-shaped beach. Don't set out without first checking with the rangers about the marea (tide), because at high tide you can't get across the beach, nor can you cross it from the dense forest behind. At best, it'll be a waste of time; at worst, you'll get cut off on the other side for a few hours. Rangers advise against swimming here, as the currents can be dangerous.

The Edmonton Oilers have the 7th overall selection in the 2013 entry draft, and one of the most attractive options for that pick is Ottawa 67′s C Sean Monahan. He stood out on an Ottawa 67′s team that struggled this year with a 16-46-6 record. He scored 31 goals and 78 points in 58 games – 27 more points than the team's next leading scorer.
- Corey Pronman: Monahan is a smart two-way player who has shined in the OHL over the past two seasons. His ability as an offensive playmaker is high end, as he has tremendous instincts, displaying the ability to make quality passes. Monahan regularly shows the ability to slow the game down. He controls play from the perimeter on the power play. He is patient, creative, and he does not simply rely on one dimension, either. He has good puck skills; while they still lag behind his hockey sense, he can make some defensemen miss. Monahan possesses good size (in order to shoulder off checks). If defenders try to overplay the pass, he has a great shot, and he can finish from medium range if given the chance. His skating is fairly average. He is not a total liability on his feet, but his skating stands out as the least impressive aspect of his game. Monahan projects as a quality defensive center, capable of winning faceoffs consistently. He does not have a clear developmental weakness in his game, which bodes well for a team that may be looking for him to make the transition to the NHL within a year or two.
- Todd Cordell: Strengths – Monahan is one of the best offensive players in this year's draft class and had he been born a few months earlier, he would have been considered for a top-5 selection last year. Undoubtedly Monahan's best attributes are his playmaking ability and vision. He sees the ice very well, understands the game and always finds a way to get the puck on a teammates stick. Though he's a pass first player, he does have a good shot and knows how to put the puck in the back of the net. I think his shot is very underrated and is one of the better aspects of his game. Monahan also has good hands, overall puck skills and is lethal on the power play. He's one of those players that if given time and space, he's near impossible to stop as he can beat you in so many different ways. While Monahan's not a physical player, he's not scared of contact and knows how to use his size to help him be more effective in the faceoff circle and to help create space for himself and his teammates. His defensive play is getting better and better, too, and he's really starting to become a guy who can play in all situations.
- Craig Button: Sean's skills may not be flashy but they are very good with a mind that is exceptional. His skating is very good but what he does so well is change speeds and keep opponents off balance. He recognizes opportunities very quickly and is able to take full advantage of them. Very good touch around the net with an accurate shot and a deceptive approach. A very consistent player, who makes others around him better. He is a very balanced player who performs when it counts.
- Team Canada coach Steve Spott on Monahan: "his hockey sense, in my mind, is at a National Hockey League level right now. He has elite hockey sense. He is just one of those players who can play in any situation – 5-on-5, 5-on-4, on your [penalty kill]. Sean has that innate ability. He is going to be an elite NHL player. There is no doubt about that."
- Chris Edwards, Central Scouting: "His production probably would be quite a bit more if he had somebody who could finish for him. He gets pucks through traffic, has real good hands, real good play-making ability. He's got an excellent shot, gets it off real quick and gets himself involved in battles for pucks. He's used in every situation, double- and triple-shifted at times."

Aspen Project Update
August 2008
The Aspen Project has been buzzing with activity this year, in preparation for our plans for expansion. One icy day in January, Mick, Pirouel and I went to the Scatwell Estate with local volunteers Chris and Shona Scatchard to erect some protective stock fences, which were later planted with aspen. The Scatwell site has the largest area of aspen north of the Great Glen, and we hope to expand it further still to provide habitat for the range of species that need large, diversely structured stands of aspen. Aspen-dependent species currently found at the site include a cranefly (Gnophomyia viridipennis), the larvae of which tend to occur on poplar species, but usually are found much further south.
This spring we collected around 200 root cuttings, including some from Strathconon, Glen Affric and Glen Moriston, in preparation for our large aspen planting schemes over the next few years. We have a three year plan in place for the Aspen Project, which includes creating three new large stands of aspen, doubling the production of aspen in our nursery, and increasing the extent of our survey and monitoring work.
Leading up to the Dundreggan purchase, there has been a lot of work carried out in Glen Moriston, and at Dundreggan in particular. We have now identified a total of 18 stands of aspen on the Estate, and I suspect there are a few more to be found! We had some very welcome assistance from Work Week volunteers in planting several hundred aspen saplings into holding beds at Dundreggan. These trees are being kept on in preparation for a large riparian (riverside) planting that is planned for the part of the Estate by the River Moriston.
We have also been increasing our records of different organisms associated with this tree. We have found the aspen bracket fungus (Phellinus tremulae) at Dundreggan and several other parts of our Target Area. Some very interesting galls have also been recorded, including one that appears as a distinctive lump on the leaf and is caused by a midge (Lasioptera populnea).
The Highland Aspen Group, of which TFL is a member, is organising a conference to take place this October. This follow-up to the first Aspen Seminar, which was held in 2001, will examine how things have moved on since then, and what the next steps in aspen conservation will be. The conference will look at many issues including the rich biodiversity associated with this tree as well as the latest ideas in aspen management.
Trees for Lifes presentation will explore the relationship between aspen and beavers, which may return to our rivers in the not-too-distant future. Beavers are particularly fond of, though not dependent on, aspen. By increasing the overall amount of aspen, as we have been doing in a number of areas, we believe that we can increase habitat for aspen-dependent organisms, and ensure the aspen stands are robust enough to thrive in the presence of beavers. It is possible that beavers may help aspen and its associated wildlife by creating a diverse age structure and providing dead wood. Please visit our website, where a flyer about the conference can be downloaded, or call the office to find out more about this event.
In May, Alan and I went into Glen Affric with Edward Milner, who has been kindly creating some web videos for us. One of these focuses on our aspen project, and you can view the footage here on our website. It was heartening to visit a particular pair of fences beside Loch Beinn a Mheadhoin, where some of the aspens planted in 2002 have reached an impressive height.
In June I checked out some fences and trees that were planted beside the River Moriston by Work Week volunteers in 2006. These are doing amazingly well, and the only aspens I have seen sending up suckers (ramets) after two and a half years!

Business Description:Goodman Fielder Limited (GFF) manufactures and distributes food ingredients, consumer branded food, beverage, packaged bread, dairy products, small goods, flour, edible oils, meal components and other related goods to over 30,000 outlets every day including supermarkets, route outlets and food service customers. GFF manufactures its products in plants in Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Fiji and New Caledonia.
Strategy Analysis:GFF says its 'guiding principles´ are: branded consumer products generate higher returns; brands provide effective insulation against commodity cost volatility; complex product and brand portfolios dilute the investment required to protect or grow market positions; and attractive returns are achievable in mature categories only where there is significant brand strength and/or a material delivered cost advantage, and where market conditions are stable. Within the focus on retail brands, the growth strategies are product innovation, bolt-on acquisitions, internal efficiencies and price recovery of commodity cost increases. GFF aims to be the lowest-cost producer in its categories. CEO Chris Delaney has initiated a strategic review focused on improving performance through Project Renaissance. He sees significant opportunities for innovation in the product portfolio, increased efficiency and supply chain improvements. While there appears room for significant improvement, the fact is that GFF is in a cyclical industry with some major structural challenges.
Goodman Fielder reported NPAT of $51m for the half-year ended 31 December 2012. Reported net profit included significant items of $9.8m (after tax), comprising the gain on sale of non-core businesses including Integro, less restructuring costs and provisions for asset sale costs. Revenues from ordinary activities were $1.17bn, down 9% from the same period last year. Basic and Diluted EPS was 2.6 cents compared to 1.4 cents last year. Net operating cash flow was $113.3m compared to $11.5m last year. No dividend was declared. Retail market conditions in the company's core markets of Australia and NZ are expected to remain challenging for the remainder of FY13, with competitive pressures continuing to put pressure on product volumes. In response, the company will continue its strong focus on operational cost control and disciplined capital management.

a car that runs on a battery that never needs to get charged
A dynamo produces electricity when it is turned and batteries gives energy to motors to turn a wheel.while the wheel is turning we can use this energy to turn the dynamo and produce electricity that charges the battery at the same time the car is moving.Of course we will need a huge battery but by nano technology we can minimize the size by using nano-batteries.

Incumbents lead in early election results
Resisting a Democratic tide, state Republican incumbents senator Dale Brandland and representative Doug Ericksen both eked out a small margin of victory over the their Democratic opponents in Tuesday's general election.
Brandland received 15,166 votes or 51.3% over Jesse Salomon's 14,361 votes while Ericksen's votes totaled 15,596 (52.8%) versus 13,912 for newcomer Jasper MacSlarrow.
Fellow 42nd district incumbent representative Kelli Linville loped to an easy victory with 19,722 (69%) votes over Republican Craig Mayberry's 8,855. Mayberry was hamstrung with the revelation late in the race that he owed thousands of dollars to the IRS for a failed business venture.
Nationally, Democratic incumbents U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell and U.S. Representative Rick Larsen mopped the floorboards with their opponents. Cantwell received 655,062 votes (57.6%) over former Safeco insurance executive Mike McGavick who scavenged only 447,494 votes (39.3%). Larsen cleaned up with 85,614 (66.2%) votes over Doug Roulstone's 43,694 votes.
The only contested state Supreme Court Justice race proved Susan Owen to be unstoppable with 584,778 votes (59.9%) over Stephen Johnson's 390,166 votes.
State initiatives, for the most part, popped convincingly one way or the other. Initiative 920, which asked voters to repeal the estate tax, was turned down by 678,513 voters (61%) versus 432,685.
Initiative 933, which would have gutted zoning and environmental ordinances in favor of property rights, flamed out with 644,643 votes against it (57.8%) to 471,267. Initiative 937, which called for increasing renewable sources of energy generation, passed by 579,735 votes (52.3%) to 522,190. Finally, House Joint Resolution 4223, which increased the personal property tax exemption, passed 851,942 votes (78.4%) to 234,878.
Closer to home, by a margin of 1,352 votes to 408, Lynden area voters approved the amalgamation of fire district 3 with fire district 13, the district that also serves Blaine and Birch Bay. Fire district 13 voters approved a property tax levy lift to $1.50 per $1,000 valuation by 1,634 votes to 895.
And just for interest's sake, the tumultuous board of commissioners of water district 13 in Kendall will be increased to five from three members by 65 votes to 46.
The board had been deadlocked for months with the refusal of one board member to attend meetings while another member refused to vote on regular, and needed, matters such as bills.
Election results are not final until certified. By law, November 28 is the last day for county canvassing boards to certify results. December 7 is the last day for the Secretary of State to certify general election returns.

By Howard Pousner / email@example.com
Here's a quick look at four art exhibits opening Saturday (Feb. 8):
Self-storage units harbor artful compulsions
Atlanta artist Sarah Hobbs, who transformed three W Atlanta-Midtown hotel rooms into a site-specific installation on travelers' phobias and worries in late 2012, is back at it. Her installation "Repository" will open 4-6 p.m. Saturday in four units at 14th Street Self Storage.
The installation further explores human obsessiveness. This time, according to presenter Solomon Projects, it's "the concept of individuals creating a completely private space for themselves within a public facility in order to house a compulsion, difficult aspect of their life, or a surreptitious sanctuary."
Viewing hours: 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays. Through Feb. 22. 151 14th St. N.W., Atlanta. Free. www.facebook.com/SolomonProjects.
Two Atlanta artists in High spotlight
The High Museum of Art will open two exhibits by Atlanta artists on Saturday: "Medford Johnston: Counterpoise" and "Splendor: The Work of Jim Waters" (both through June 8).
The colorful and fluid forms in the works of Johnston, a retired Georgia State University art professor who has served as a mentor to many up-and-coming artists, were inspired by people and places he encountered during travels in Tanzania and Kenya in the late 1980s.
The show by Waters will include works on paper and a site-specific installation that suggest a relationship between the natural and artificial worlds. Outside of his own art-making, Waters works as the High's exhibitions designer.
$19.50; $16.50, 65 and over and students; $12, ages 6-17; free, 5 and younger. 1280 Peachtree St. N.E. 404-733-4444, www.high.org.
Dashboard shows universe of new art
Dashboard Co-op opens "Cosms," installations by 12 artists, 7 to 11 p.m. Saturday at Midtown Plaza ($8 advance; $10 at door), with an after-party at W Atlanta Midtown's Living Room.
1360 Peachtree St., Atlanta. Gallery hours through March 8: 2-7 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays; 4-6 p.m. Saturdays. Details at www.dashboardcoop.org.

Like many retailers, Active Endeavors in Downtown Iowa City does about 40% of its yearly sales around the holidays.
"It's a great time of year and we're all just excited to showcase what we have and have people come down and support local business and support small business," said Mark Weaver, owner of Active Endeavors.
If you shop at his store, some of the money you spend will help those in need. Active Endeavors is one of 50 businesses participating in the Iowa City Downtown District's Giving Book"It's always a good time to give back," said Weaver.
"All these small businesses support what's going on down here through hiring people, through giving back," said Betsy Potter, Operations Director for the Iowa City Downtown District.
For every item you purchase out of the book, stores will donate money to the United Way of Johnson and Washington Counties. The organization says this is really a shot in the arm for them at the time where people need help the most.
"Need during the holiday season increases, actually-especially in Iowa because the weather gets worse," said Dan Brown, Director of Annual Giving for the United Way of Johnson and Washington Counties.
The campaign kicks off on November 30th, which is Small Business Saturday, a day devoted to encouraging people to shop local like the places in the book. To help get people into downtown stores, the city is offering free parking from Thanksgiving through Small Business Saturday.
The University of Iowa Community Credit Union will match all donations up to $5,000. Organizers hope to raise at least $10,000 during the nine day campaign.You can pick up a copy of the book at several Iowa City locations and many will be delivered to home. To see a digital version click here.

LANSING (WKZO) -- Governor Rick Snyder has put his veto pen to controversial gun legislation. Specifically, he's vetoed a measure that would have allowed concealed carry of handguns in schools and other areas that are currently known as gun-free zones.
The governor did give the green light to two other pieces of legislation. One is meant to streamline the process for handgun purchases. Another eliminates restrictions on interstate rifle and shotgun transactions to states sharing a border with Michigan.
As for the concealed carry bill, Snyder says he didn't like parts of it to begin with and thought the bill needed more careful review, especially in light of Friday's shooting in Connecticut.

A blister is a bump on the skin containing fluid. Blisters are usually circular in shape. The fluid that forms underneath the skin can be bloody or clear.
Blisters are caused by injury, allergic reactions, or infections, which may include the following:
Friction (from a shoe, for example)
Contact dermatitis
Impetigo (a contagious infection of the skin)
Viral infections (including chickenpox and herpes zoster)
The symptoms of a blister may resemble other skin conditions or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
Blisters often heal spontaneously. Treatment will vary according to the cause. Some general guidelines for treatment may include:
Wash the area with soap and water.
A cold or ice pack may help reduce swelling and discomfort.
Keep the area clean and dry. Do not burst or puncture the blister.
If the blister bursts, place an adhesive bandage or dressing on the area to keep it clean.
Observe the area for signs of infection such as increased warmth, swelling, redness, drainage, pus formation, or pain. If you notice any signs of infection, call your child's physician. Antibiotics may be needed.

Kentucky coach Joker Phillips commented on several aspects of Georgia's play after the Bulldogs' 44-31 victory Saturday night:
On Georgia's pass rush:
"It's the best pass rush team we've seen, no question about that. One of our offensive keys to the game was we felt like we had to handle the edge rushers. They've given a lot of people problems. We had to use some chip (blocks), to chip our way out to give the guys some help.
"But you can't use it all the time, because you won't get some of the underneath control guys out free sometimes. But the times that we didn't, especially the first time, the first pass we tried — first dropback pass we tried — they got pressure on us and caused the fumble. But this is by far the best pass rush we've seen."
On Georgia's running game:
"A couple of those times they ran on us, it was a nine-man front. Somebody's got to make the play for you. You've got nine guys in the box, and the only reason we didn't have 10 is we wanted to put somebody over the top of [A.J.] Green. Want to have somebody underneath and somebody over the top.
"So we had a nine-man front. You've got to get yourself off the field when we've got nine men in the box."
On Green's influence on the Georgia running game:
"One thing you don't want to do Yyou don't want to single him up a lot. You want to try to put a guy underneath and a guy on the top so it takes another guy out of the box.
"But late in the game they were playing two-tight end sets and two-back sets, so you actually have an extra guy when you put that — you don't have to cover down on another receiver, because they've got two tight ends in the box.
"But, yeah, he does help their running game because he brings another guy with him. You've got to mix and match your coverages. You've got to get two people over the top of it or one guy over the top of it at times. That gives them the ability to run the ball with numbers."
On the play of Georgia running back Washaun Ealey:
"Good back. Every week you play in the SEC, you're going to face some good backs, and he is good, tough, hard-nosed. A typical SEC back; that's what you're going to see every week."

They moved the ball too easily on our D last night. Just glad the offense took advantage of the short field in the first half and we won the special teams battle. Also our ground game kept their offense from being on the field more in the 2nd half, which could have been trouble. Hope Houston and the boys keep that same pressure on Brantley next week and UF still has it's identity crisis on offense. Guess they should have let Cam Newton keep those lap tops.
Still, good win over a good KY team on the road. GO DAWGS!!!!
P.S. To any bugs who may post over here as usual: how y'all do yesterday?
October 24th, 2010

It is amazing what you can do with a short field on offense. In the earlier games that we lost the field was long. Great effort with the running game. Hopefully we will learn that we do not have to pass to set up the run. The last time we beat UF we ran every play in the first drive. Then after UF scored we hit the long pass to Mo and we did not show predictability that we have shown most of the time on offense….Seems like we have not let the Backs get into a rhythm in the past like we did last night. Even Herschell had to get into a rhythm…but it never took him as long as some of the present day backs because Dooley was a running game coach. Have to take our passing game and get into rhythm with running game to experience the level our offense should have. Great KO Return.

We are so close to being a complete team, if we can just shore up the weakside secondary. Williams and Commings continue to impress and are really doing a great job working the strongside. In fact, I would say they are rapidly becoming two of the best in the SEC. But the weakside is awful, Cuff and Rambo are playing with no communication, bumping into each other, Rambo pushing Cuff out of the way, Cuff pushing Rambo out of the way, etc. etc. All the points Kentucky scored were a result of these two. Time for a change, we played Love some and he seemed to give us a small spark, we need Smith to come back, and Rambo must be replaced with Ogletree. We cannot beat Auburn that does throw the ball well (we won't even mention the running of Newton and Dyer), because they will feast on these two. UF you know is working the offense to take advantage of these two.
Grantham and Lakatos I hope find solutions soon. The front 7 is playing as well as any front seven we have had at Georgia in some time. Please find a pair that can play on the weakside!

I hope Smith will be back on the field this Saturday. Cuff is a liability. I had nightmarish visions of Bryan Evans on three of Kentucky's TDs last night.

The Dawgs are looking better and better and the pass rush is really coming around, I hope they work Cuff and Rambo the hardest this week because they will be throwing their way next Saturday.Having Branden Smith back should help if he comes back. The offense can move the ball effectively. Is Caleb coming back next week? Gotta Get them Gataaas!!!

UGA72 is right on. Cuff is killing us and it makes no difference that he's fast when he's constantly out of postion, blowing coverage and taking the wrong angle… just like Brian Evans last year. He's running around like a chicken with his head cut off. Is Lakatos not seeing this?
October 24th, 2010

It's not particularly pleasant having to call out kids on a public blog like this so I'll spare the names, but I seriously hope that the coaches decide to choose the unknown potential over the known blundering of some of the current experienced starters in the secondary. That's the only negative point I can see.
On the positive side, UGA looks like they have decided to start hitting people in the mouth. That's 3 weeks in a row that they have dominated the line play on both sides of the ball. In addition they are playing smarter, holding onto the ball, committing less penalties, etc. This team could beat just about anyone right now.
This team should handle the current Gator team and the Auburn game ought to be a great one. Cam will be tough to stop, but I don't see Auburn stopping UGA either.

Don't tell me we can't compete with Auburn. Kent played them tight. SC and Miss St. played them tight…and we played those teams tight, except for KENTUCKY WHO THE DAWGS DEMOLISHED. LSU played Auburn tight, and LSU almost lost to TENN…WHO WE DEMOLISHED. The past is the past….I dont think anyone will be excited about playing the Dawgs right now!
First things first….BEAT FLORIDA. I know they have had a week off…And the thought of them loosing 4 in a row is hard to fathom….but they have been spiraling down at the same time the DAWGS have been putting it together…that three SEC blowouts in a row for Georgia…thats some momentum!!! Kentucky exposed some glaring issues we have…thank God. Now we can work on those and get a plan together for the Gators. I can't wait for this game…I hope the Dawgs run it down there throat..then drive some nails in the coffin w some deep balls to AJ! Georgia needs to come out hard from THE START! Not make mistakes and capitalize on the ones they will make…and they will…then put the petal to the floor and not look back! GO DAWGS!!!!!!

German Shepherd Dawg, Read the fine print and you'll discover that you can only get ESPN 3 if your internet service comes through certain providers. Mine doesn't qualify which stinks so I was basically penalized $24.99 by ESPN for not having an IP that has buddied up with them. I hate monopolies.
As for the game, since I had to pay, I'm glad that won, too. They have my hopes up for next week when they come to MY town.

Brandon Boykin held RANDALL COBB to 45 yards receiving and no TD's… He shut him down!!!! COBB scored in every game this season except against UGA because Boykin was all over him. The sad part is nobody even noticed. Cobb didn't do anything in that game… Boykin is a beast and is sooooooo underrated by you fans… you better appreciate him while you can… might not be here much longer…
October 25th, 2010
10:52 am
Great game vs the Cats ! Now the Gators….this will be a war both UGA and UF can right their ships with a win UGA would pretty much salvage the season with a win over the Gators and Bugs but…no looking ahead its the damn Gators and the WBOCP..GATA! Go Dawgs!!
October 25th, 2010
11:55 am
Commings is starting to show promise at CB and Boykin is playing like an all-SEC CB. the weaknes is with the safeties… Rambo may be better suited at WR as he is elusive and has good hands. His coverage skills are lacking and Cuff is inconsistent in coverage also. Ogletree may be the long term answer at safety and getting Smith back against Florida is a must. Is Marlon Brown still out with an injury? I didn't see him on the field against Kentucky. It is time for Kiante Tripp to step up at DE.. He has a world of talent.
October 25th, 2010
12:47 pm
Did Bryan Evans change his name to Vance Cuff and his number from 3 to 25? GOOD LORD!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh well, I am happy with the win, and look forward to 4 in a row come Saturday baby!
October 25th, 2010
1:01 pm
UGA will lose to Florida and most likely a severe beat down. Auburn is going to beat UGA by at least 35 or more. That means if the Jackets beat UGA it will make a 7 loss season. No bowl game for thUGA. Any word on weather or not the NCAA has ruled it legal to recruit prison inmates? if not UGA will not be able to field a team.
October 25th, 2010
1:59 pm
The truth will set you free AMG. DragonCon will be back soon. Until then, just pray that Nesbit is half the man Reggie Ball was. See you in Athens, when once again, your team will crap it's pants. Pitiful, actually…
October 25th, 2010
4:42 pm
I am fast. I am too small at a listed 5′10″ and 190 lbs to tackle effectively and I am not a natural cover man. I am again ………. too small for Big Boy SEC ball. I am a horrible tackler and my buddies will get better and they are both 6′2″ and that is big boy ball. They can get better ……….. I will never.
I need to play the O as a wildcat type of back. I can be used as a decoy in the flanker around or as a receiver but I am simply not a true Corner Back.
I am gonna tell Bobo to play me on O and sometimes return punts or K.Os. I have been mis cast for two years now as an All World ( gonna be) D back. it will not happen.
Gooooooooooooo Dogs.

Dubai, April 6th, 2012: April's Film Buzz is not for the faint hearted! This month's triple bill of films are an irresistible chronicle of modern day crime that takes us on a rollercoaster ride of dreams, courage, passion, sweat, tears, blood, and illegal activity in the gangster underworld of Italy, France and Brazil. The nightly screenings run from Monday, 22nd through to Wednesday, 24th April at The Pavilion Downtown Dubai.
The line-up begins on Monday, 22nd April taking us to the streets of the world's most notorious slum, Rio de Janeiro in City of God. Directed by Fernando Meirelles and co-directed by Kátia Lund, the Oscar nominated electrifying masterpiece has clocked up over 50 wins at festivals around the world and remains a favourite with critics and film fans.
The movie tells the story of this slum in the midst of the oppressive crime and violence, a frail and scared young boy will grow up to discover that he can view the harsh realities of his surroundings with an artistic eye. In the face of impossible odds, his brave ambition to become a professional photographer becomes a window into his world and ultimately his way out.
Our next film on Tuesday, 23rd has been hailed as – "The best gangster ever made" by the Boston Herald. Martin Scorsese presents Gomorrah from filmmaker Matteo Garrone who won the Grand Prix at Cannes Film Festival in 2008 and an Oscar nomination for his chilling and unromantic exposé of the Camorra and its deadly hold on Neapolitan society.
Gomorrah presents us with an inside look at Italy's modern-day crime families - Power, money and blood: these are the values that the residents of the province of Naples and Caserta confront every day. They have practically no choice, and are forced to obey the rules of the "System," the Camorra. Only a lucky few can even think of leading a normal life. Five stories are woven together in this violent scenario, set in a cruel and ostensibly invented world, but one that is deeply rooted in reality.
Concluding April's Film Buzz is one of the most stylish films of all time and a landmark in French cinema - La Haine written and directed by Mathieu Kassovitz took the film world by storm with his gritty, unsettling, and visually explosive look at racial and cultural volatility in modern-day France.
Aimlessly passing their days in the concrete environs of their dead-end suburbia, Vinz (Vincent Cassel), Hubert (Hubert Kounde), and Said (Said Taghmaoui) – a Jew, an African, and an Arab give human faces to France's immigrant populations, their bristling resentment at their marginalization slowing simmering until it reaches a climatic boiling point.
Entry is free and operates on a first come, first served basis. The Pavilion can only accommodate 60 people per screening, so film buffs are urged to arrive early to avoid disappointment.

Socialmedia.com is a social advertising network. Buddy Media is a social media consulting and analytics company (i.e. they have clients!). Today, they have announced a partnership that allows people to buy advertising and access analytics to make the most of their social media campaigns.
They're calling it social 'app-vertising' and brands like FedEx and New Balance have already been privy to the service.
"Advertising in social media is about getting users to engage with a brand's messaging in a way that scales and is measurable," says Seth Goldstein, CEO of Socialmedia.com. "Our partnership with Buddy Media simplifies the buying and execution of campaigns that get users to interact with brands."
"In many ways, the app is the new ad unit, and many marketers are beginning to realize that," says Michael Lazerow, CEO of Buddy Media. "With the launch of the BuddyBrain and our partnership with SocialMedia.com, advertisers and brand marketers now have a one stop shop to launch their social app-vertising campaigns and reach over 500 million people on social networks."
Despite all the dark news from Wall Street, social networking and its projections remain hot, hot, hot! Yesterday, I reported how social networking is taking share from dating and pornography (who would have thought?)!
This partnership seems like a smart one, especially for those of you concerned about how you measure social media campaigns.
What do you think of this announcement? Comments, please!

IRVING, Texas - The Cowboys won two games without
But don't think for a second they won't be eager to get him back on the field. And that scenario is a likely one, according to head coach Jason Garrett. On Tuesday, he sounded optimistic about getting Lee back in the middle for next Monday's showdown with the Bears.
"Yeah, we'll see what he does," Garrett said of Lee. "But he made some progress. With each of these guys, we have to see how they do during the practice week. But we have to take that day-by-day. But (with Lee), there are certainly some positive signs."
Lee suffered a hamstring injury against the Saints and did not return. He had the bye week and then missed the last two games, with
After the Cowboys' 31-24 win over the Raiders last Thursday, Lee said he expected to play against the Bears on Dec. 9.
"That's definitely the plan," Lee said. "I think I'll be on track to play that game. I can't have any more setbacks and I think I've put in good work to be there."
Such good work, Garrett says he's never see a player try so many things to get back on the field.
"Sean is a great football for a lot of different reasons but maybe first and foremost is his desire and love for the game," Garrett said. "Whenever a guy like that gets hurt, he's chomping at the bit to get back. He wasn't ready to play last week. He's doing everything he can to get himself ready. He's got more ointments, chambers, whatever the heck he takes … as anyone I've ever been around. He's doing that and more to get back. It comes down to his passion for the game."
Garrett said it's a fine line with players who want to come back, but the team has to make the smartest decision for the players, regardless of the circumstances that often surround the situation.
"We simply have to do the right thing as a medical staff, as a coaching staff and as an organization to play guys when they're ready to play, regardless what they say.

"We were really impressed with the way this product turned out! It is an adorable card with great picture and paper quality!"
"My favorite part of this product is that it could be completely personalized! I have been trying to find something where I could add special characters to the text of a photo card…I am so happy to have finally found a product and place that will do that. Thank you for creating such a great product."
"Loved that this announcement covered both our new address and our new baby! Just wish it could be customized with a different color such as purple instead of just pink."
"Everyone that has received Dahlia's birth announcement has just loved it. This was a great design that allowed me to show case several pictures. I had an amazing photographer, so I was looking for a classy design that wasn't to busy to showcase her photos. Also with the style of the pictures, anything to "cutesy" defeated the elegance. The snowflake design worked well into her being a Jan 1st baby, I just changed the message to Happy New Year!"
"This card best suited our favourite images of our little girl, and we loved the ease of loading in several images to compare across a few designs. With so many gorgeous designs in tiny prints, this really helped us narrow down to what we wanted. The cards arrived very quickly to Australia, and we were so pleased with the result. These were easy to customise and order, great service and delivery, and they look amazing!"
