On paper, Houston is one of the best teams in the NFL. Loaded with elite level talent on both sides of the ball, there isn't much not to like about the Texans. Assuming they can stay healthy, the Texans should be able to hold off Indianapolis and win the AFC South for the third year in a row. But after falling in the divisional round of the playoffs in each of the last two seasons, the question is whether or not the Texans can take the next step in the clutch. Either way, they should be a consistent money maker for backers during the regular season.
Houston Texans 2013-2014 Season Odds
The Houston Texans followed up winning their first division title in franchise history in 2011 with an even better season in 2012, winning the AFC South again with a 12-4 SU campaign. Houston has all of the pieces in place to take its shot at a Super Bowl Title in 2013.
Odds to Win AFC South: -225 at Bovada
The Texans were a well-oiled machine on both sides of the ball for most of 2012. The Texans finished 12-4 SU and 9-7 ATS, ranking seventh overall in both total offense (averaging 372.1 yards per game) and total defense (allowing 323.3 yards per game). If there is any nitpicking to be done, it would be that the Texans finished the regular season 1-3 SU and ATS after going 11-1 SU and 8-4 ATS through their first 12 games; perhaps losing some focus down the stretch.
Many teams are thrilled to have an elite player at any skill position on offense, but the Texans are blessed with elite players at all three. QB Matt Schaub passed for 4,008 yards last season, RB Arian Foster rushed for 1,424 yards and 15 touchdowns, and WR Andre Johnson had 112 catches for 1,598 yards. These three players are among the best in the league at their respective positions, and provide a nightmare of matchup problems for opposing defenses every week. First-round draft choice WR DeAndre Hopkins won't make things any easier.
On defense, J.J. Watt emerged as the best defensive player in the game last year. The defensive end and 2012 defender of the year finished the season with 81 tackles, 20.5 sacks, and an incredible 16 pass deflections. Offensive lines don't have an answer for this guy, whether he is getting in on the play or getting his hands up to defend the pass. The addition of veteran ball hawk safety Ed Reed should make an already outstanding unit even better.
The pieces are in place for the Texans. All that is left for Houston to do is put the pieces together in the postseason.
AFC South Odds at Bovada as of July 28
Houston Texans 2012-2013 Season Odds
The Houston Texans recorded a number of firsts last season. Their first division title. Their first trip to the playoffs. And, their first playoff win. Their playoff journey ended in the Divisional round against Baltimore, but that could be just the first step to a successful run for the Texans.
Odds to win AFC South: 1/5
The most amazing thing about Houston season last year was that they did it despite a number of injuries to key personnel. Matt Schaub, Arian Foster and Andre Johnson combined to miss 18 games last season, but Houston still won 10 games to take the division.
Schaub still passed for 2479 yards in 10 games last season, along with 15 touchdowns and six interceptions. He did without Andrew Johnson for most of the season, as the speedy receiver was relegated to seven games. Johnson has proven to be injury prone for most of his career, missing 19 games in the last five seasons alone. With Jacoby Jones moved on to Baltimore Schaub needs a healthy Johnson this season.
The Texans boasted the No. 2 running game in the league last year thanks to Foster and Ben Tate. Foster is arguably the top running back in the league. He averaged 94.2 rushing yards per game last season and he's one of the best receiving backs in the league as well. Tate filled in admirably when Foster was out last season, averaging 98.3 yards per game in three starts.
The Houston defense was the No. 2 unit in the league last season, allowing an average of 285.7 yards per game. They lost Mario Williams to free agency in the offseason, but his loss may not b as big as you think, considering he only played in five games last season.
With an offense loaded with stars and a defense that often gets overlooked the Texans should easily be the ones to beat in the AFC South this season and should challenge for top spot in the conference.

Houston Texans 2011-2012 Season Odds Preview
Out of nowhere, undrafted running back Arian Foster exploded onto the scene last year, rushing for more yards and touchdowns than any other running back in the league, by a substantial margin. Foster's breakout, coupled with an outstanding passing game, should have yielded some success.
But Houston finished just 6-10, plagued by the worst passing defense in the NFL (267.5 yards against per game). The Texans have made strides to improve the unit, and could win the AFC South if those moves work.
Odds to Win AFC: 12/1
NFL Odds | NFL Betting Strategy | NFL Database | NFL Handicapping Stats
Matt Schaub is one of the most consistently underrated quarterback in all of football. Schaub finished fourth behind Philip Rivers, Peyton Manning, and Drew Brees last season with 4,370 passing yards; one year removed from leading the league in passing yards in 2009 with 4,770.
His primary target, Andre Johnson, is one of the best wide receivers in football. Johnson caught 86 passes for 1,216 yards and eight touchdowns last season.
In Schaub, Johnson, and Foster, the Texans have one of the best players in the league at each skill position on offense. As a result, they have finished in the top four on offense with over 380 yards per game in each of the last two seasons.
Will this be the year the defense does its part? Houston's league-worst pass defense last season led them to finish 30th in total defense (376.9 yards per game) and 29th in scoring defense (26.7 points per game); stats that made the Texans' firepower on offense irrelevant.
Houston went out and signed shutdown cornerback Johnathan Joseph, who should make an immediate impact in the secondary. They also used their first two draft picks (11th and 42nd overall) on defensive ends, and their next two (60th, 127th) on cornerbacks.
The pass defense can't possibly be worse than it was in 2010, and it could be significantly better with Joseph on board. If Peyton Manning's neck injury forces him to miss time and Indianapolis falters this season, the door could be wide open for the Texans. They've been in this spot of "popular preseason pick" before; this year, they need to go out and execute.

What is scalp psoriasis?
Psoriasis is an inflammatory disease of the skin estimated to affect about 2.2% of the adult population. Psoriasis is influenced by the genes that are inherited from parents. The genes affected seem to be involved with control of the immune system. Psoriasis appears as red scaling papules the combine into plaques that are classically present on the elbows and knees but can affect any part of the skin. The scalp is also characteristically affected in many patients with psoriasis. Like psoriasis anywhere, scalp plaques produce excess scale and can itch. Severe disease can cause a loss of scalp hair, which usually will return if the disease can be controlled.
What is the cause of scalp psoriasis?
The belief that "emotional stress" is a cause of psoriasis is difficult to support experimentally. There is no question, however, that psoriasis of the scalp is an extremely stressful experience.
What are scalp psoriasis symptoms and signs?
As mentioned above, psoriasis appears as a small bump, a papule, surmounted by scale. When these papules combine, a plaque is formed that is covered by excessive layers of horny skin that is perceived as a silvery scale. This scale is shed and appears as dandruff. The scale and shedding can be quite profuse and unsightly. Scratching these plaques, either because of itching or because of the impulse to remove it, is a very poor idea because of what is called the Koebner phenomenon (also known as the Koebner response or isomorphic response). This is a peculiar predisposition of psoriasis to develop in areas of trauma. Scratching off the scale will only make things worse. Occasionally seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp can be confused with psoriasis since both can produce excess scale and can itch.

Radial Cafe is Green Certified local eatery with awesome breakfast offerings and a casual, cute setting.
Breakfast Great ... Pasta dishes at dinner not so much. – I have enjoyed eating at Radial for many years... the breakfast menu is awesome and this review comes from nothing but love.
However, recently on a night out with friends we went to Radial to try out the new dinner menu. Three out of four of us had a different pasta dish. To be honesty it wasn't the worst pasta I have had ...but it wasn't great either.
We discussed between us and agreed that there was no flavor to the dish that enticed the taste buds to eat more. The consensus between us was...
"Uneventful and we wouldn't order a pasta dish again"
I never toss the baby out with the bath water so, I /we plan to go back and try something else on the menu.
Having said that I believe that it's important to express to the owner(s) when you feel you didn't have the best experience. So Frank, coming from love... work on the pasta dishes crank up the flavor. To be fair the fourth friend had the special of the night and "loved it!"
My favorite place now serving dinner AND drinks! – I've been going to Radial consistently and particularly since new ownership and chef changes last year. Now it's gotten even better! Not only with updated renovations to the dining space, Radial now is open for dinner and boasts a full bar. I was there recently and had wonderfully braised pork and pappardelle, and couldn't resist sampling my other party's short-ribs which were perfection! Radial has always gotten dessert just right, so I was not surprised by the great array of wonderful desserts they've added to the dinner menu. Overall, thoughtfully composed menu, eco-friendly business values, commitment to the community and local economy. Frank Bragg got it just right!
New owner and a new chef! – I've noticed the changes at Radial Cafe over the past few months, and its just getting better! I really like the daily special pancakes and there is usually a special french toast too. I always add the pure maple syrup to take my cakes over the top! I enjoy the casual but attentive service and can honestly say that my coffee was always kept hot and filled. I love to meet friends here during the week and on weekends during the popular Saturday and Sunday brunch...talk about fun energy!
Wonderful service and the food was excellent. I was able to really appreciate the taste of organic food. The herbs and spices added made it even more delightful. We also admire the quality of service they gave us. It was a truly wonderful experience at Radial.
Appetizing food at Radial – A friend of ours suggested this place, I tried it out once. My friend was right. The food was superb and tasted really fresh. The entrees were piping hot and the server made me laugh with his jokes. Great place.
Great Breakfast – I travelledacross town based upon the reviews and I was not dissapointed. I had the Hash and it was refreshing to see something that was not from a can. I could taste all the herbs. The raspberry jam was wonderful and so was the hummus plate.
I will be back!
Radial...a wonderful addition to Atlanta – Phil is wonderful..we started going for lunch,then events were held there, and the more we go..the more we love it! They even give out birthday meals to friends on myspace! good food in a great location.
Community friendly - a great place to go
Our go to place for a GOOD, GREEN breakfast – Radial is a great place for breakfast, lunch or brunch!
This is a green restaurant with organic food.
The food tastes good and the price is right!
Owner Phil Palmer is good to the local community.
Love the different artists exhibited in the restaurant. Cool vibe.
Mmm...Radial omelet!! – Radial is awesome. My favorite items are 1) their signature omelet which comes with deliciously sauteed mushrooms, onions and red pepper, pepper-jack cheese, and tomato and sour creme on the side 2) their AMAZING hashbrown potatoes--they are sliced au graten style and contain some sort of magical, spicy, creamy heavenly seasoning 3) their patio and 4) the fact that they are so committed to being an active and positive part of the community by hosting all sorts of wonderful events such as local art exhibits and joining the Green Restaurant Association.
If you haven't been, you should definitely check them out. You'll be sure to find delicious food served by friendly folks at a price that won't break your budget. Have an omelet for me!
Great Breakfast / Brunch with wonderful weekly specials! – Radial is one of my favorite places to eat in town for Breakfast, Brunch / Lunch. It has a nice casual feel with a great mix of people The food is always fresh and reasonably priced, and the servers & host(esses) are always friendly.
On my latest visit I had the special Cinnamon Butternut Squash Pancakes. They were perfectly cooked and super tasty. I mean where else in-town can you find pancakes with squash in them, that are also delicious to boot.
Some of my personal favorites are the Vegetarian Biscuits & Gravy with Rosemary Fennel Gravy (you can get them with real sausage too), The Jerk Patty Melt, The Breakfast Burrito, and of course any version of Pancakes.
Some other noteworthy specials are the Southern Fried Catfish & Smoked Gouda Grits, Bananas Foster French Toast, The Breakfast Casserole with flaky layers of bread, mixed with veggies and sausage, Cinnamon Roll Pancakes, and the Biscuit French toast (Yes you are reading this correctly! It's just like it sounds instead of using bread they batter and cook up biscuits totally INSANE!)
If you are ever looking for a new regular Brunch spot in Atlanta this is the place. I've taken countless out of town friends here and every time they return we always have to make a trip back.
Highly recommended.

Daily Joke
Before celebrating a baptism, the deacon approached the young father and said solemnly, "Baptism is a serious step. Are you sure you're prepared for it?"
"I think so," the man replied. "My wife has made appetizers and we have a caterer coming to provide plenty of cookies and cakes for our guests."
"I don't mean that," the deacon replied. "I mean, are you prepared spiritually?"
"Oh sure," came the reply. "I've got a keg of beer and a case of whiskey."

Natural gas fleet benefits touted
Larry Thomas -- Furniture Today, November 15, 2012
ATLANTA - Although converting a portion of their diesel truck fleet to natural gas has presented unexpected challenges, participants in a pilot program in Wisconsin told a logistics conference here that natural gas powered 18-wheelers clearly have long-term benefits.
Speaking during a panel discussion at the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals global conference, logistics and transportation executives involved with the program said they are pleased with the initial results, but said more research needs to be done regarding engine maintenance issues they have experienced.
"Natural gas is a fantastic component to our sustainability story," said Lance Whitacre, vice president of order management and logistics at Andersen Windows, a Wisconsin-based producer of replacement windows and doors. "We've had lower fuel costs and reduced price volatility."
The pilot program involved converting seven diesel trucks used for Andersen's short-haul routes - generally 400 to 500 miles per day. The trucks, which are leased from Dart Transit, now run on compressed natural gas (CNG), which sells for roughly half the price of diesel fuel.
In addition to slashing fuel costs, Whitacre said the CNGpowered trucks have reduced emissions by more than 30%, and are supporting jobs in North America since the U.S. and Canada have plentiful natural gas supplies.
The biggest drawback, according to Whitacre and David Oren, president of Dart Transit, has been higher-than-expected maintenance costs.
"We're not where we need to be ... but we know that this works," Whitacre said of the CNG program.
Oren told the audience that since the conversions were made last year, maintenance costs are running at an annual rate of $40,000 per truck. That's largely because oil for the CNG engines must be changed every 15,000 miles (versus 25,000 miles for diesel engines), and sparkplugs must be changed regularly - something never needed for diesel engines because they don't have sparkplugs.
Plus, two of the trucks have experienced ignition failures and several others have had manifold problems - all of which have resulted in increased downtime, Oren said.
"It has been a challenging startup," he said. "The maintenance costs have been considerable."
Oren said Dart believes the costs of converting to natural gas engines will be recovered in about 2.1 years - well above the expected payback period of 1.3 years - but is still supportive of the program because he believes maintenance issues will decrease once more mechanics become familiar with CNG engines.
Plus, the introduction of an 11.9-liter engine next year (most 18-wheelers now have 8.9-liter engines) also will benefit CNG conversions, he said.
"The maintenance is bound to get better when (other trucking companies) start working on the engines," Oren said. "And I do think the 11.9-liter engine will take care of a lot of these maintenance problems."
Whitacre said one issue that was expected to be problematic - the time it takes to fuel the CNG engines - has not been a major concern.
"The dispensing speed has been absolutely fantastic," he told the group. "And we all know that the speed of fueling is critical."
Whitacre credited U.S. Oil, with whom Dart and Anderson partnered to build the necessary CNG fueling stations, with making refueling a relatively quick and painless process.
Michael Koel, a U.S. Oil vice president who also was on the panel, said his company currently supports about 500 CNG fueling stations and plans to build about 30 turn-key stations of its own in the Midwest in the next three years.
"For us, North American fuel is a game-changer," Koel said of his company's interest in natural gas. "Before we build a fueling station, we need to have a major customer commit to using it, and based on the talks we've had, I don't think we'll have any problem (finding support for) 30 of them. It wouldn't surprise me if we end up building more than 30."

FTTV: Frontline Friday From F/T

ELROY, Texas -- The big race has begun on the final day of the Formula 1 weekend at the Circuit of the Americas track.
Saturday was a big day for race fans and drivers as they qualified to see where they would start for the race on Sunday.
Sunday's race is one of 20. There have been 18 Formula 1 races in other parts of the world. At each race the winners acquire points and the drivers with the most at the end of all 20 races wins. The final race will be held in Brazil on Nov. 25.
On Sunday the drivers have the make 56 laps, or as many possible, in two hours.
COTA engineers say the track is the most advanced racing facility in the world, and fans and drivers are praising it. Racing legend Mario Andretti took a look at the new specs this weekend.
"The track is great, I mean it's very technical. All of the ingredients are there. I love when we have elevation changes. A lot of blind turns and that makes it a bit challenging in many ways," he said.
Andretti says speeding around the new track will bring some challenges for drivers because of the surface and it hasn't been broken in quite yet.
The drivers have been attempting to do that over the weekend. Since Friday they have been speeding around the track up to 200 miles-per-hour, hoping rubber from their tires will rub onto the track, giving their cars a better grip.
The U.S. Grand Prix race started at 1 p.m. KVUE will have team coverage at 5, 6 and 10 p.m.

Bryan the brave takes cold plunge for charity
5:30am Saturday 28th December 2013 in News
WHILE most of us were lying around the house munching on the remnants of large Christmas feasts, a hardened swimmer braved bitter temperatures to wade through Arctic waters for charity on Boxing Day.
Far from being daunted by the prospect of frostbite or hypothermia, Bryan Avery, 45, of Oakhurst, stripped down to his swimming trunks before taking a dip in four-degree water at the Cotswold Water Park, in aid of Prospect Hospice.
Accompanied by a posse of friends, the grandfather, who made headlines when he swam the Channel in September, was thankfully not alone as he stepped carefully into the ice-cold Lake 32 on Thursday morning.
"It was colder than when you run the cold tap in your bathroom," he said. "You immerse your legs and you start going numb.
"We were there for five minutes. When I came out I was freezing cold. After about two or three minutes you can't feel your hands anymore; your body shuts down.
"It was quite hard to get out of the water. You feel your legs moving but you can't feel what they are touching. It's almost like a pins and needles type of effect. When I had the towel wrapped around me I couldn't feel it.
"I'm very pleased I did it. We wanted to raise money for Prospect Hospice."
The IT consultant from Jason Close is now planning to repeat the experience on New Year's Day for the hospice.
Anyone interested in donating to Prospect should visit www.justgiving.com/lake32 swimmers or text 'lake58' to 70070 to make a £2 donation.

I must be the pinnacle of stress. You know the list they give you at some place or another. Like at the doctor's office or at work. There's the list of stressors that could be a clear indication of depression. I know I would be checking off the form like there's no tomorrow. Let's see….
(-)Divorce. It's like death, right? Two little ones involved, demanding much needed attention. (+) Mike and I get along better than we ever did. We explained it to the kids and Audrey took it very well. Cameron doesn't have a clue.
(-)Brother had stroke, paralyzed on one side, recovering but not completely, can't work, trouble getting SSN, I'm sure disability ran out. (+) Got to spend quality time with him the second trip. He is a pillar of strength and inspiration. He slowed me down which I needed and I want to continue to be that way.
(-)Found out my other brother has a brain tumor. (+) It is not cancerous, not growing, not affecting his brain or functions. Just don't know what the long term or even short term effect is from it.
(-)Father has severe heart failure. He had 3 or 4 heart attacks that he didn't know about. He's in a home now and they just gave him 6 months to live. He's not getting any better. Actually, after getting stints put in, his heart is pumping lower than it was before. (+)Got to spend time with him and put the past behind me. He told me he was sorry for everything and it healed me. I will be ready when he goes, just don't like it right now. He hasn't accepted Jesus as Savior so I believe God's giving him a chance right now by making him hang on a little longer.
(-)All of my immediate family live 2000 miles away. I have my in-laws here. It's just not the same as blood. (+) Granted, even with our past differences, my in-laws are good loving people. I am just uncomfortable around a couple of them. They have been accepting of the fact that I want a divorce and they are being supportive. I think that's because they want Mike to move on from me. I know they want my happiness too. It's just too easy.
(-)Getting a house built. It's not really a negative, it's just a stressor. (+)I will be independent, alone (which isn't always a bad thing). It will build strength in me.
(-)Temporarily moving into an apartment. Mike is uncomfortable all of sudden and wanted me to move out where originally he said I could stay until the house was built. I don't mind. I was hoping to save some money and build up some savings. No big deal. (+)Actually look forward to it. I noticed he's been dressing up and going out a lot, who knows maybe he has someone? Good for him
(-)Lost Love. Devastating. Heart-wrenching. It still hurts like it was yesterday even though it is in the past. I will always wonder what if. (+)It took me all these years to finally know what true love is. Now I feel like I'll never know again.
(-)We just finished with a 6 month long outage which was only supposed to be 3 months. So long hours and working nightshift was not healthy either. (+)At least I haven't changed careers and I'm very stable in my work. I love my job and the people I work with. I'm in the middle of the seniority list so I am well protected there.
(-)I have my health but that's diminished some due to the fact that I lost a LOT of weight. I was skinny before, now I have trouble keeping my pants up because even my belt is too big. Everyone has commented on my weight loss and they are all concerned for me. That's comforting, but I can't seem to do anything about it. I know I shouldn't but I drink a lot of wine. I started smoking about a year ago and it's getting worse. I don't want to stop all those things. They are my crutch. I bawl every single day. My chest is heavy and my heart is aching all day long. That's all a big fat negative. I'm weak. I nearly lost it in Live Fire training a couple weeks ago. I'm not physically strong enough to handle the work of a firefighter.
(+)I am blessed all around. With work, family, friends. I really have nothing to complain about, it's not like I'm being beat to a bloody pulp by my ex or that I'm being harassed at work or anything. It could be worse. So why can't I move on? It sounds so simple when others mention it. Everything just seems so hard.

Revenue projections are up by $579,470.90 for 2014, and the school system expects to take in $11 million next year. It plans to spend $10.8 million in the 2014 fiscal year, according to a budget approved by the Piedmont school board Friday.
"We've seen growth this year and we think we will see slight growth again next year," said Piedmont schools Superintendent Matt Akin, referring to local sales tax revenue.
The new fiscal year begins Oct. 1.
Though it is good to see local revenue grow, the increase is nothing new, Akin said, saying it has increased incrementally for the past several years. He and board members said that because the revenue has changed little, their budgets have been similar in recent years.
"It looks about the same," said board member and banker Lin Latta.
The district gets local money from property, sales and alcohol taxes.
The school system expects to receive $2.3 million in local revenue in 2014, up from $2.1 million school officials budgeted for local revenue in the current fiscal year.
The school system also plans to receive $6.9 million from the state in 2014, slightly more than this year. The extra money will pay for more teachers, who were needed because Piedmont's enrollment rose by about 40 students last year, Akin said, to 1,203. The additional state money will also help pay for a 2 percent employee raise and employees' retirement packages, Akin said.
"State funds are earmarked," Akin said. "There is really very little flexibility in what we do with this."
Federal funding is down slightly due to sequestration, Akin said. The system expects federal funding to fall by $20,434 in 2014. Piedmont schools received about $1.4 million from the federal government this year.
Piedmont school officials are unsure how much the system will receive in grants. In 2013, the system received about $650,000 in grants, and earlier this week Akin announced that the system is again putting in a bid for the highly competitive Race to the Top grant program.
Though they have the potential to add hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of programs to the school each year, grants can not be budgeted for because there is no way of knowing which, if any, grants school systems will receive each year.
"It helps us take our investment in innovation and expand it, exponentially sometimes," Akin said. "What these grants have done is help us go to the next level much faster."

Franklin >Food & Dining > Cazadores Mexican Restaurant
1350 E 2nd St, Franklin, OH | Directions 4500539.562979 -84.275939
Mon. - Thu. 11am - 10pm;Fri. - Sat. 11am - 10:30pm;Sun. 11am - 9pm
Good Food Only Saving Grace – We have eaten "in" Cazadores 4 times and ordered take-away 3 times. Every experience eating in the restaurant has been disappointing, at least re: service. First they ignore you when you come in the door, and then the hostess or host will reluctantly take your name. You wait huddled in the vestibule being buffeted by customers and servers going in and out for (in our at case) at a minimum 20 minutes and on our first visit, almost 45 minutes. There's no doubt the place is popular. Then you are seated under huge fans that swirl cold air and dust around. When they feel like it, the server will gradually mosey up to your table. If you are lucky, they speak enough English without your giving it two or three times, but you are in big trouble if you try to ask questions about a dish or deviate from the exact menu item (ie: ask for extra beans rather than rice.) Then you wait and wait for your meal. Which comes and is absolutely delicious, and you start to feel better about the whole situation, until it's time to get your check. That's when you wait some more. As for our take-away meals---three times, and we have never gotten an order that is correct. Last time, my husband even confirmed with the host, who assured him all was as we had called in. Nope, not when we got it home. I guess the only answer is to unpack each meal and inspect it before we leave. Or to drive up to Las Pyramides, but why should we have to leave Springboro? Like I said, the food is really good. It's just kind of frustrating. What's the problem in providing decent service? Even having to wait for a table wouldn't be so bad if you felt they appreciated your business even a little, but a lot of time as you stand in the doorway and wait, you feel like you are inconveniencing them. But the food is good.
Not in the winter!!! – I went to Cazadores to purchase gift certificates for my parents for Christmas. Apparently, they are the only business in the Miami Valley that does not salt their lot! I promptly wreced into a car that was for sale. If that wasn't bad enough, the guy whose car I wrecked into went inside to ask them to salt and was asked how many would be eating dinner. The manager then went to move his car and wrecked into someone which I found amusing, though I was still upset. Then, the police came for a report. They knew the icy conditions and pulled in very slowly and parallell to the main road. They couldn't stop either and slid sideways until they ran into a telephone pole. The officer went in and demanded the manager have the lot salted and was also asked how many for dinner. A few other cars had some near misses in the couple hours we spent in the lot unable to get out. I really thought this Cadillac Escalade was going to flip sideways off the lot and fall down from the edge of the lot into the Econo Lodge lot that was beneath it. The icing on the cake was when the salt truck finally arrived and crashed his snowplow front first into the side of an SUV that was sitting there. We finally drove through the grass to leave!

Any one know a link for download
Any one know a link for download
Did you find a link?...if not I can upload to my MediaFire account
It's in House of Bionic. Just download that.
I rooted mine with motfail while on 905 & used voodoo rootkeeper to retain root through the updates.
To root your Bionic with motofail:
- Install the Motorola Drivers:
- Download motofail
- Put your Bionic into USB Debugging and USB Charge Only modes
- Run motofail's run.bat
Link to file for root with razors edge http://t.co/mbIAmwH8
I cannot root my replacement bionic... it came with. 905 installed, so i updated to. 246 ota, downloaded RAZR's edge, checked usb debugging and unknown sources, and tried all three usb connection options... i tried redownloading the drivers, and any updates on the computer, then tried a laptop with the same methods... no luck... and advice? Id like to not try the .246 fxz yet.... i have data that i prefer backed up, but its fine if it comes down to that
You can root wit House of Bionic mentioned above. . Read the directions & the FAQ. There is a ROOT only option in the Utilities optionOriginally Posted by chuck54
Posted with two cans & a string
That didn't work either (I was confident it was going to). Is it possible that motorola just patched the razrs edge root exploit????
Do you have the Motorola drivers installed on your computer?
Personally I can't get my own Bionic to work correctly while in AP Fastboot. Can't figure out why, because my brother's Bionic works just fine when plugged into the same exact same ports. Any type of modifications I do to my phone, I have to use his laptop. It's a pain, but it works.

Razrs edge failed for the me too. I have a mac, and this worked. http://droidbionicroot.com/tag/root-droid-bionic/

Crustle is a crooked looking Pokemon, but don't let its looks deceive you. Its base Defense is one of the highest in the RU tier, and with access to both Stealth Rock and Spikes, Crustle becomes an excellent team supporter. Crustle's Attack stat isn't too shabby either; its access to Shell Smash and a decent physical movepool only increases its sweeping potential. The downside to using Crustle is its poor typing. Crustle is weak to common Water- and Rock-type moves, and its STAB moves don't provide excellent type coverage. Crustle's Speed is nothing short of horrible, and this doesn't help its ability to set up entry hazards, or its ability to sweep for that matter. By no means is Crustle a bad Pokemon though; it's an excellent Spiker and can greatly aid your team.
With this set, Crustle uses its base 125 Defense stat to abuse entry hazards such as Stealth Rock and Spikes. Crustle's base 70 HP isn't amazing, though it's just enough to handle some powerful, unboosted hits. Thankfully, Crustle only has two weaknesses, so it has plenty of time to switch in and set up entry hazards for your team. Stone Edge and X-Scissor are reliable STAB moves, and they ensure that Crustle isn't complete set up bait while also giving it something to do should it get Taunted. Rock Blast is an interesting alternative to Stone Edge; it has lower Base Power on average, but its accuracy is higher and it can be very useful against opponents that use Focus Sash or Substitute. Toxic is another viable option in the last slot, as it cripples bulkier Pokemon who Crustle can't break through with its STAB moves, such as Poliwrath and Golurk.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Shell Smash is one of the most amazing stat boosting moves in the game. Unfortunately for Crustle, its Speed is still pretty low after a Shell Smash boost, meaning that Choice Scarf users can still outrun it. Stone Edge and X-Scissor provide it with reliable STAB moves, but most Steel-types wall the combination. Luckily, Crustle can utilize Earthquake to dispose of them; Earthquake hits Fire- and Rock-types pretty hard as well. Sturdy is the chosen ability; providing Crustle is at full health when it switches in, Sturdy ensures that it will always be able to pull off a Shell Smash, surviving the opponent's attack with a minimum of 1 HP. White Herb is used to restore Crustle's defensive stats after a Shell Smash, allowing it to survive priority moves such as Absol's Sucker Punch and Hitmonlee's Mach Punch. Life Orb can be used for more power, but it isn't recommended due to the recoil.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Sturdy and Custap Berry are the main sellers of this set, as they let Crustle set up one entry hazard, take a heavy hit, activate Custap Berry the next turn, and set up another entry hazard. Crustle is also one of the very few Pokemon that possesses both Stealth Rock and Spikes, making multiple layers of entry hazards very simple to set up. Base 95 Attack is what separates Crustle from Smeargle; Smeargle is typically shut down completely by Taunt, whereas Crustle doesn't mind it as much and can deal some heavy damage with its STAB moves. Rock Blast permits Crustle to KO Focus Sash users such as Accelgor and Aerodactyl (granted that Rock Blast hits at least 3 times). You can opt to use Stone Edge for more consistent damage, but its shaky 80% accuracy can make it a liability and it can't KO Focus Sash users. X-Scissor is Crustle's next STAB move, which gives it the power to hit Psychic-, Dark-, and Grass-types for super effective damage, in particular taking out the popular Regenerator core of Slowking and Tangrowth. Earthquake is another viable option to hit Steel-types and common Pokemon such as Emboar, Lanturn, and Manectric for super effective damage.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Crustle is effective at what it does, but it also has a variety of other options than those in the sets listed. It has access to a variety of stat boosting moves, such as Rock Polish, Curse, Hone Claws, and Swords Dance, but most of the time it's outclassed by another Pokemon in the tier. Block is viable option to use alongside Toxic and Spikes, though if you use it against the wrong Pokemon, Crustle is as good as dead. Counter is a rather gimmicky option to bounce back physical attacks, but it works pretty well with Crustle's decent HP, massive Defense stat, and Sturdy. Other physical options include Night Slash, Aerial Ace, Shadow Claw, and Smack Down, though most of them are poor in terms of coverage, and their Base Powers aren't great either.
Checks and Counters
Steelix is probably the biggest counter to Crustle; it has massive Defense, resists Crustle's STABs, and has access to Roar to erase any stat boosts. Bulky Ghost-types, such as Golurk and Rotom, are good choices too, as they have access to Will-O-Wisp to lower Crustle's Attack stat, and their typing means that Crustle's STAB moves won't be doing much to them. Lastly, Water-types who have a decent Defense stat, such as Poliwrath and Quagsire, can switch into Crustle's STAB moves with little trouble, and begin firing off powerful STAB moves of their own. Trick users will generally screw up Crustle's strategy, so Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Rotom and Uxie are great checks. All in all, Crustle isn't difficult to counter as long as you beat it before it has chance to set up.

Having been in control of the game for long spells at the Madejski Stadium, the Blues, after leading 2-0 with three minutes left on the clock, were forced to settle for a point as Adam Le Fondre came off the bench to score two late goals for the home side.
Juan Mata's 15th goal of the season broke the deadlock just before the break, before Frank Lampard headed home midway through the second half to extend our advantage.
However, our fifth successive away win in the Premier League was denied late on courtesy of Le Fondre, leaving Rafael Benitez to rue costly mistakes.
On the performance
'It's difficult to explain, we were controlling the game for 85 minutes,' he said. 'But from the last free kick we made too many mistakes in one situation that we'd been dealing well with all night. We had chances to finish the game, but we didn't do it.
'Even after they scored the first goal we were still in control, but if we scored three or four goals it changes the game.
'We have to be more clinical and be more aware of defending set-pieces. We did a great job for 85 minutes. We were professional and created chances, they had their first shot after 78 minutes.
'We are all disappointed, we knew that we could be closer and reducing the gap. Everybody has the same feeling; we were in control until the last minute.
'If you play badly and draw, it's a problem, but if you play well and control the game it's about carrying on doing the same things and managing the mistakes.'
On where it went wrong
'It's not about blaming anyone but we need to analyse why we didn't kill the game and why we made the mistakes, and then work on the training pitch.
'I was really pleased with the players, they were doing a great job, but the little things make a difference. We are still in a very good position in the table but it could be better.
'We did everything we had to do, we had to change Mata because he was limping, and then we brought on Demba [Ba] to hold the ball up and to give Fernando a rest.
'In this game we were so good in terms of controlling and doing what we had to do. Even with the other long balls we were managing well, it was only one.'
On Mata's injury
'He has a problem with his ankle, he needs to see the doctor but we will assess him tomorrow.'
Brian McDermott, meanwhile, didn't feel there was much wrong with our performance, but acknowledged Reading's first goal paved the way for a frantic finish.
'I didn't see a vulnerability in Chelsea,' he said. 'They played well, they had a lot of the ball and made it very difficult for us. We scored, and once we did that we got another goal.
'I saw a side with Lampard, Mata and world-class players all over the pitch, but we've just got a draw against the champions of Europe.'
A clip of Rafael Benitez talking to Chelsea TV after the game can be viewed here with the full interview available now via the channel's online access.

The tour operator I chose is the only one that goes as far as the twelfth waterfall. After arriving at a sandy parking lot, everyone put on their swimsuits and tennis shoes and left everything else behind. A waterproof camera would be the only thing you might want to take. Nothing that goes around the neck that could possible choke you later is advised. We had to get wet right at the beginning, crossing the river in waist-deep water. There's nothing like walking up a dusty trail with wet clothing and shoes, which turn to mud in no time.
Although we covered ourselves with everything from bug spray to sunscreen, nothing was really needed. The temperature was neither too cold nor too warm, and the lush greenery kept direct sun out. Even sunglasses weren't needed, or recommended.
We walked, and sometimes swam, upstream from waterfall to waterfall, either ascending by climbing the rocks or ropes with knots, or, in one case, using a shaky ladder made of bamboo. I was glad to have guides to give me a necessary hand in the case of both. Waterfalls were no more than about 5 feet wide, cascading perhaps 20 feet. Still, going up against the force of water is not without effort.
The Damajagua River meanders around creating tunnels and caves. The water color seemed to change from crystal-blue pools in the caves to translucent green in the tunnels.
We returned on the same trail we came on, except that now, based on the height of the falls, the roughness or smoothness, and the steepness, we jumped or slide down. Again, it was good to have a guide to hold onto to us as we positioned ourselves to slide down or to hold us in the now muddy ground from where we jumped.
As we made our way back down the path, we stopped at souvenir shack, where a guide told us that if we chose to purchase anything, we could pay him when we got back to the van. Otherwise, I think many of us would wonder how this vendor would get any business when tourists were told not to carry anything.
At just about the time we were beginning to dry, we approached the river again that we need to cross to get back to the van. We were definitely ready to head off to the buffet that awaited us.

Spend some time on the upper Upper West Side of Manhattan, where the forty-six-year-old Stephen Adly Guirgis grew up, the son of an Irish mother and an Egyptian father, and you can still hear the notes in the scale of his theatrical repertoire: black, Jewish, and Latino voices that meet and crash and land on the predatory streets that his characters sometimes stalk far into the night, in search of a little coke, perhaps, or some Chicken McNuggets. Although Guirgis's scripts are short on detail when it comes to the spaces his characters inhabit, you can picture them from the way the characters talk and express—or don't express—their aspirations. Guirgis, a brilliant comedic talent—who began his stage career at the LAByrinth Theatre Company, where Philip Seymour Hoffman, a co-founder, directed his early work with great compassion—also has an original and knowing take on class, particularly as it plays out among the bottom-of-the-barrel working-class poor, who are virtually invisible to the wealthier men and women around them. Guirgis's characters are strivers who lack the language to "pass" in a white-collar world; they're frustrated by limitations that they're only half aware of, and that frustration provides much of the painful hilarity in their dialogue, which piles miscommunication on top of misunderstanding.
In Guirgis's seventh full-length play, "The Motherf**ker with the Hat" (at the Gerald Schoenfeld), audience members are treated to the author's customary craftsmanship and themes, but his characters' interior lives feel a little more considered than they have in the past. This is not to say that Guirgis's first foray on Broadway is any less hysterical and irreverent than his previous works, which include "Jesus Hopped the 'A' Train," an outstanding 2000 piece about imprisonment and moral responsibility, and the 2003 comic epic "Our Lady of 121st Street," which shows how the past can overwhelm and distort the present. After the inventive and poignant "The Last Days of Judas Iscariot," which follows the life and career of history's most famous fallen angel, premièred at the Public, in 2005, one could only wonder where Guirgis would go next. But "The Motherf**ker with the Hat" builds on the strength of those plays and then surpasses them. From the beginning of this elegiac, exhilarating, hundred-minute, intermissionless work, which is surely handled by the director Anna D. Shapiro, you can't help noticing that Guirgis has shaken his habit of setting up ideas and situations for his characters to fit into; instead, full-blooded people take over and tell the story for him.
Veronica (Elizabeth Rodriguez) and Jackie (Bobby Cannavale) are in their late twenties. They live in a Times Square S.R.O., but it's their love that hems them in. Jackie, out on parole, is newly sober. As the play opens, Veronica is doing lines of coke while cleaning the apartment and talking to her mother on the phone. She feels that her mother is too strung out, and that she's wasting time with the wrong man, and she'd like to get her into rehab. Vibrating with coke nerves, Veronica says, "Ma? O.K., look, for the last time, my opinion, you're still a good-lookin' woman with a huge, lovin' heart and you're not hard to please—clearly—but you're dating a fuckin' big-time loser with a head like a actual fuckin' fish! . . . O.K., like, please, alls I'm gonna say, Ma, when you see him tonight: Take a moment. Take a breath. Take a real good look and just ax yourself in all honesty, 'Do I wanna fuck him or fry him up with a little adobo and paprika?' " Jackie enters. He's high on his new job at FedEx and on his love for Veronica, which hasn't abated since they first met, as teen-agers. He looks as if he'd just stepped out of an eighties porno flick: slicked-back hair, a six-pack, skinny, muscular legs. (When he undresses, we see that he's wearing a pair of white tube socks.) Jackie wants to make love, but Veronica has something on her mind. She's been seeing someone else, but won't say whom. Is it their downstairs neighbor, the motherfucker with the hat? No, it turns out that Veronica has been with Jackie's A.A. sponsor, the homily-spewing, vegetable-juice-drinking Ralph D. (Chris Rock, in his Broadway début). Meanwhile, Ralph's bitter, disaffected wife, Victoria (Annabella Sciorra), has the hots for Jackie—though you get the sense that she'd be into any man who paid her some attention. As Jackie's world unravels, he calls on his wise, sardonic cousin, Julio (the phenomenal Yul Vázquez), who has Jackie's back but not unconditionally: he tells Jackie exactly how self-obsessed he's been.
Jackie and Veronica, as played by the astonishing Cannavale and Rodriguez, are two hopeful losers who want to win the kind of intimacy they've seen in movies, but for whom it's always just out of reach. Even if life were to hand the savvy and deluded Veronica a chance at happiness, she wouldn't be able to grab the brass ring. She and Jackie both desperately need and avoid each other. The interplay of their desire and their deceit makes them one of the most beautifully drawn couples to appear on the stage in years. As the play goes on, we watch the very notion of rehabilitation unravel, too. Guirgis isn't anti-A.A. or anti-N.A., but he doesn't shy away from the reality that exists offstage, as it were, in a world that isn't protected by anonymity and trust. He knows enough about life to ask the right questions: What is recovery? And who, if anyone, can recover from the brutal high of a love hangover?

Lexington Beerworks is a beer bar in downtown Lexington. It's right off a main road so it's pretty easy to find, even if parking is a bit tricky; if you're stopping by for a beer, chances are the businesses behind their building are closed and there's plenty of parking available there, just drive around to the back of the block.
They make a strong attempt to educate their beertenders on the finer points of their offerings which is refreshing for us patrons. They have 10 taps or so with a pretty good selection. They also serve bottles, cold and warm, and you can take bottles home if you want. FYI, a cold beer served at the bar is more expensive than a warm version of the same beer you take home. This is common at any beer bar with a retail license, we pay for service after all. The place isn't huge, but there's usually enough room to find a table or a seat at their brasstop bar. There's also a covered patio out back.
Lexington Beerworks doesn't serve food, but there's almost always a food truck out back offering Mexican, Greek, Italian, or whatever specialty is available that day. They also have a lot of homebrewing equipment for the aspiring homebrewer and they offer weekly homebrewing classes as well. The selection is great and the prices are reasonable, Lexington Beerworks is a great place to stop to get a great beer.

Beerworks is a must stop for any beer aficionado in Central KY. They usually have a great selection of tap beers as well as a tremendous selection of bottles. On the weekends they almost always have a food truck. They also have a great selection of home brew supplies and most, and I stress most of the staff is very knowledgeable about their selections. i would strongly recommend Beerworks to any beer lover that lives in Lexington or planning a visit.

This place has a great selection of beer. A constantly revolving keg selection, always something exciting. I normally go for homebrew supplies, and grab a beer while I am there. It is small so they don't have an extensive range of supplies. Good amount of hops, and most of the grains you will need. Prices are just a bit higher than the big stores around Lexington, but still reasonable and a good place to spend your money, if you are going to spend it. The guys there are really helpful whether it comes to choosing a beer or helping with brewing. They also have all kinds of events for homebrewers and beer lovers.

Great addition to the starving Lexington craft beer scene. Location is prime for downtown folks. The only inconvenience in architecture us an awkward aisle and relatively small restroom. Bar and shelving is beautiful.
Service is great, albeit a bit overeager if business isn't hoppin. Would like to look at the taplist before being offered recommendations based on what style I like...as if I could narrow that down. Social media and email feeds are fairly desperate, as well. Play a little hard to get!
Selection is great, both bottled and draft. On part with the best in Lexington, which surprised me.
Pricing, I can't figure out. How do you charge 5 bucks for a holy moses, but only 5 bucks for a new holland dragons milk? The 4 oz difference doesn't compute, but I'm frugal....ie cheap.
Also a great place to buy homebrew supplies. If they don't stock it, just ask and it shall appear! Awesome!
Definitely a great place to go for a beer or five. Still ironing out some kinks, but love the spirit! They're not businessmen, which is good, but get them talking about beer, and you're set!

My first visit to the newly opened downtown Lexington craft beer bar was an enjoyable one. As soon as you walk in the door you can sense the warm, boisterous atmosphere. The crowd was pleasant and vibrant and there was sufficient traffic flow throughout the bar even though the space is narrow. The large wooden bar, rotating taps, high ceilings and comfortable bar stools made for a nice experience. The homebrew supply section at the back of the venue was small but adequate. They have a refridgerator for hops and yeast and a dozen or so shelves of grain and brewing equipment. My hopes are that they will be adding to this area in the future.
What made the visit so outstanding was the incredibly personal service. Greg, one of the owners, was helping to serve behind the bar. This guy is a class act! He not only knew his beer, but was willing and excited to share his story about how the business got started. His energy rubs off on his bartenders and everyone sitting within an earshot.
They have both a nice draught selection as well as bottled beer to choose from. I had pints of the Rocky Mountain IPA by Fort Collins Brewery and the Avalanche Ale by Breckinridge Brewery. I also had a sampler of Goose Island Pere Jacques. I noticed they did not have a huge selection of Great Lakes on draught or in bottles. Being a Cleveland native, I would love to see them have more to choose from.
Overall an A+ experience. We will definitely be coming back to this cozy downtown beer bar. Thanks Greg and Lexington Beerworks for a great night out!

Lexington Beerworks is Lexington's newest craft beer bar, the best in the downtown proper area, and Lexington's best bet for homebrew ingredients. Billed as a homebrew shop with a craft beer bar, they are stocked with 12 rotating taps and a selection of about 200 bottles.
In shotgun style, the establishment occupies a narrow slow in the city block near Atomic Cafe and Columbia Steakhouse. Though parking is largely relegated to on-street status, there's usually ample spaces available (be sure to feed the meter before 5:00).
The design of the store and bar is of chiq urban, European letherman and cooper decor, and modern lighting with display. As the bar anchors the right side of the space, a small table to the right, then bathroom complexes and 6-8 spacious tables to the rear near the homebrew supplies. The bar seems to sit about a dozen as the space may comfortably handle a crowd of about 50 or so. Three tv's with Sportscenter and a pleasantly audible sound system plays a tame array of tunes.
Some of the better beers available to the Bluegrass are offered here. Along with the Orval and Southern Tier Oat that I enjoyed at my first visit, they also have taps that include Goose Island 312, Fleur, Southern Tier Phin & Matt's, Bell's Amber, Kentucky Light, Bluegrass Brewing Altbier, Boulder Hazed & Infused, New Holland Mad Hatter, and a few others. Bottles of Founders, Flying Dog, Chimay, Stone, Great Lakes, Bell's Dogfish Head, Avery and others are all represented and are available to enjoy at the bar or to go. As far as I could tell, they don't have growler fills to go or at least not yet. A nice selection of glasswared insures the perfect glass for the chosen beer.
The homebrew selection is fully stocked with the standard malt, hops, yeast, and kit varieties that are staples in better homebrew shops. At this point, the homebrew selection in the rear of the store is taking a back seat to the bar components. Hopefully, as time goes on and as requests come in from the homebrew community, then they will expand and offer more litterature, exotic ingredients, hard-to-get hops and yeast, a wider range of equipment and supplies.
Although no prepared food is available, there's a small array of potato chips and prezels availabe to pair with the beers.
Prices seem reasonable, or at least on par with the prices of similar items at more reasonable bars and restaurants around town. Though the homebrew ingredients may be slightly higher than the big box store, the personal attention and quality of environment makes the slight increase well worth it. Besides, being able to have a beer in hand while shoping for homebrew ingredients is a very cool thing!
The staff is young end exuberant. The bar staff may be light on experience, but are big in passion and seem to really care about the customer. Their focus and enthusiasm will have them caught up with the in's and out's of craft beer bars before they know it. They have hired a few guys who haven been known to be very good homebrewers and can guide the ownership in terms of purchases and stocked inventory, as well as helping homebrewers to get their recipes and techniques right.
The staff should soon have up and running a rating system to track what you are drinking and to make recommendations on future purchasing. This seems very innovative and unlike the personalized attention that's given at any other beer bar.
Because the establishment is new, the place is very clean, warm, well-lit and very inviting. Anyone in the downtown Lexington area who is thirsty for a frosty malted beverage should not hesitate to give these guys a visit. This is the only place in the downtown area that gives this type of attention and focus to the craft and enjoyment of bettter beers. To find a similar place, then a short trip to the Chevy Chase neighborhood, UK's Campus, or Southland Drive is in order.
Please look for a more detailed review of this establishment as the better get their feet under them and streamline their opperations.

The application was sent in to the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Tourism this week. If Montrose were to be recognized as one of two RTAs in the state, it would be eligible for a share of a potential $50 in state sales tax rebates to attract tourism-related development.
The IGA also creates a local governmental task force to continue work on the application, which must now be analyzed and reviewed by a third party, per the State Regional Tourism Act of 2009. The OEDIT may then request a formal presentation of Montrose's plan. A decision by the state is promised for October of this year.
The effort by Montrose County and the municipalities of Olathe, Nucla, Naturita and Montrose is a scaled-down version of a plan proposed earlier this year by Montrose Citizen's for Funding Our Future (MC4FF) and the Gunnison River Economic Attraction Team (GREAT). Those two organizations, in the persons of Dave Laursen and Richard Harding, respectively, would have combined six counties in the RTA. All six participated in a task force leading up to the original application deadline of March 21. However, in the event, San Miguel, Ouray, Hinsdale, Gunnison and Delta counties decided to let Montrose go it alone.
Ouray County commissioners cited their concern over the vague, unformed nature of the legislation, the uncertainty of any funding in a time of budget deficits, and potential financial risk to the county regarding bonding for the projects to be built – should the RTA designation be granted. Commissioners also stated their belief that the 2009 Act was likely intended to attract huge projects, like a NASCAR track or a Dollywood-like theme park, to the Front Range.
Montrose commissioners remained undaunted, however, stating that they shouldn't let the opportunity pass them by, and that by staying involved they could help to shape the admittedly undefined effort to boost the state's tourism economy.
"MC4FF has been working hard and heavy," Laursen told the commissioners Monday.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
I am looking for a new driving putter. I currently use a challenger but have not been happy with the results as of late. I am looking for something I can rip on and know it will fly straight, but something that also won't hyzer out when throw flat and slower? Is there anything out there for me?
Views: 1609
I putt with a magnet and a KC. I have used too many putters over the last few years and have driven with all of them, so I might be of help on this one... Straight/anny less that 250= magnets all day (check Jerm and Cale's bio on discraft's page for a lil boosted confidence in your consideration) I think that aside from the magnet, the best driving putter is the pure over all. The problem that I find with pures is that they start great, break in marvelously and then after a month or three, they go into helter skelter mode and I lose trust. I have hit aces with both magnets and pures, 200 and 220 respectively, but the pure is out of my bag and all have been given to less powerful throwers at this point because they are money for them, not trustworthy for me in that stage of their lives. I have a Opto Pure coming my way, thanks to a friend who scooped one for me at Worlds. Can't wait to throw it.
I hear amazing things about anodes and I purchased one to check it out. It is one heck of a utilitiy driving putter (I hear the gyro ones are the best,,, idk) I like it a lot but I only have space for three driving putters and it didn't make the cut only because it couldn't beat out the glow Champ aviar p&a. I can't find anything recently produced that I like and I look for the 08 cfrs because they are VERY stiff and I can wail on them with maximum driving force with no worries at all (won am distance at the GBO this year with 546') I got 5th in ADV at the GCC this year because of the 08 glow aviar and knowing how to use it. I threw it for every non anny/non overhand drive under 380 and it distanced me from the comp. Their wasn't much of a canopy there and the course was so fast/skippy that I could throw it 340ish and trust it to just slide up to the basket. The folks I played with were throwing mids/edges and were skipping 60 left. This lead to lots of OB and NAGS and over time a lot of busting my chops for bombing putters. I would slide 30-40 up on the completion of flight on my drives and was rarely out of the circle while using it, but that lead to a lot of non-converted birds due to my previous troubles with putting...
Nevertheless, If you can find a STIFF one buy it. I don't mean kinda stiff, I mean, might as well be made out of metal stiff, like this last year's cfr glow champ firebirds are in comparison
I have no idea about the mercy but I would love to chuck it, and if you like the uderdog/lil guy companies, like I do, you should consider getting a clutch, which is basically a re tooled hard magnet and the other Legacy putter, the clozer, is a slightly more over stable version of a clutch/magnet that is a little beefier in the rim. Hope this helps and happy huking
I use a Vibram Ridge (X-link Firm) off the tee. So easy to use and flies straight and true. Super durable. I've had mine for a couple years now. Don't be afraid to pick up a couple of these discs that have been mentioned in the thread. Worse comes to worst, you can trade em' out or sell them.
175g KC Pro Aviar
Whatever Evan drives with is the best
KC Pro Aviar. 175 grams will work.
gateway wizards are stable and for super windy days the gateway voodoo is even more stable
Voodoo is not more stable then the Wizard
i would recommend aviars either dx plastic or if you can find a champion kc 11x big bead i would buy it. i have one that i've hit aces on holes at 200ft to230ft with my champion aviar.
Im currently using a DX Aviar P&A and really like it for putts. However, when I try to drive it with some power I turn it over more times than I want to.
Im looking for a putter I wont be able to turn over as easily. Suggestions? I would like to try something different than Innova and was thinking about the Opto Pure

I love this shape sorter, it is colourful and made of wood so it is very durable.
Nice product, with lots of colours. My only grip is that the central shape to each segment is removable, whereas I would prefer it to be fixed. But that's only a minor thing and overall it's still a great toy.
The puzzle has lots of pieces so is entertaining for a toddler. Is quite tricky for a younger toddler but great for working at with a parent x
Nice wooden puzzle which should pose a challenge to my little great nephew... just hope all the pieces aren't slung in the toy box and lost!
Bought as a present for a friend's daughter, where we'd set a price limit for the present!i personally think wooden toys are lovely & this didn't disappoint-good quality (especially for the price) & lovely bright colours!i have only given it 4/5 as yet to see how quickly she will outgrow it!

Effective with the 2007-08 school year, the North Carolina End-of-Grade Reading Comprehension Tests measure the goals and objectives as specified in the 2004 North Carolina English Language Arts Standard Course of Study (Content Standards). Reading comprehension is assessed by having students read authentic selections and then answer questions directly related to the selections. Knowledge of vocabulary is assessed indirectly through application and understanding of terms within the context of selections and questions. The authentic selections selected for the reading tests are chosen to reflect reading for various purposes such as literary experience, gaining information, and performing a task.
