OK - The S&M in some aspects appeared to give me a better PQ. But I was also ending up with Video aspects I didn't like. So Last Night, Reset both Expert 1 and 2. Calibrated Expert 2 with the Chroma5(Profiled with i1Pro), DPG-1200 Pattern Generator and the Calman 4. Did the Brightness, Contrast, Gamma Setting and Luminance, then Flatlined the Green to the 100 line, transfered the values to Expert 1, returned to Expert 2 and Finished up The Greyscale Red and Blue, Plus the Gamut. Transferred the Values to Expert 1. At this point the Calman 4 starting doing it's usual flip outs: won't give a finalized Luminance value (You can hear the Meter Clicking but no results showing on screen.) Tried finializing the Colour and Tint but Calman was pulling up the Wrong Patterns. (Happens periodically Despite Auto being changed to RGB on the DPG-1200). Will put the iScan Duo back in place tonight and finish up. Surprise ending - No Yellow Tinge after just a regular calibration!
Chroma5 - to initialize or not to initialize - Tested with No Initialization, 100 White, Meter On Screen and Finally, Initialized with Meter on 0% Black - the result On the Luminance Test - Very Little Difference! (This was a Test to find out who was right - My Instructor at the Spectracal Pro Seminar who said to not bother, Instructions that come with the Meter (0% Black) or someone, somewhere who said to just initialize on the screen)

A notion exists amongst leftist ideologues: If a revolution takes place that isn't started by the poorest elements of society, then it has no merit and shouldn't be supported. The concept behind such a notion is simple: Every society has more poor people, than rich people, therefore the poor are more the public than the rich or middle-class, and thus not a "People's revolution. This is, of course, utter bollocks. While being poor is not a negative, it's also not a virtue in itself, otherwise there wouldn't be so many movements to eradicate poverty. And there are good reasons for that: The poor tend to not have much chances for upward mobility, less access to quality education or health-care, and usually more susceptible to the sway of religious leaders, who provide them with hope that one day they won't suffer anymore, set above those who are richer or more affluent than them by a mighty and just God who will end their suffering. Also, do their economic condition, they are usually less engaged in most political discourse, due to their focus on putting food on the table, and are also more likely to lend their voices and political loyalty to whatever politician that would appear to help them or provide welfare or charity to them, no matter what his end-goal may be. I have seen this tactic being used by both the Egyptian government and the MB, so I kind of know what I am talking about.
This kind of vote-buying and political pandering are usually the hallmarks of socialist or Islamic regimes, and let's use two of my favorite examples: Venezuela and Iran. Or, better yet, Ahmedinjad and Chavez. Both were democratically elected on platforms of fighting corruption and change. Both used the state's resources in order to buy the support of the poorest segment of the population, by giving them handouts that won't sustain them for long and that make them dependable on the "dear leader" figure, on the expense of their country's economy and overall development. In such societies, you usually find the opposition to the country's program coming from the lower to upper middle-class, while the richest of the population usually finds ways to adapt and co-exist with the new elite of the country (i.e. the new president's men). Such regimes are also usually very anti- freedom of speech and criticisms, usually deploy thugs or security forces in plainclothed uniforms to beat protesters against them, and generally create the illusion that they are the protectors of the country and the people from a dangerous far-away enemy that aims for their destruction, and spend most of their time attacking said enemy in the press and in rallies. The enemy, as you all know, has been Bush's USA, which both leaders have repeatedly accused of trying to invade their countries and overthrow their government, which happend in neither country really. Anyway..
The point of all of this, is that the people most opposed to the programs of such leaders, are the middle-class, and the young student population. And in the opinion of such ideologues or orientalists, who usually are young or middle-class themselves (god forbid), that makes them invalid:
A sort of pernicious cliché has entered our discussion of Iranian
politics, namely that the Western press cannot be trusted because
American reporters are too lazy to leave North Tehran and too dazzled
by the appearance of a vocal minority of upper-class Iranians who are
congenial to our self-image. We believe Iran is overrun with people who
think like we do, the argument goes, because these are the people who
talk to us. It is true that the movements of American reporters in Iran
are controlled and curtailed to the point where Tehran is the main, if
not the only, point of access, apart from the hard-line holy city of
Qom. I cannot speak for all American journalists who report from Iran,
but I'm sure I'm not the only one who is acutely aware of, and
frustrated by, the lack of insight into the rural heartland this
affords us. The best that we can do is to familiarize ourselves with
the full spectrum of urban life, across class and cultural boundaries.
Most Iranians, after all, live in cities, of which Tehran is only the
most gigantic.
Michael Totten, as well, voices his disdain to such notions:
I will never forget the similar line peddled about Lebanese in March
and April of 2005. I was there when the "March 14" revolution was in
full swing, and I heard from even some Western expats who lived in Beirut that the demonstrators were mostly liberal and "bourgeois" Christians from the "Gucci" class.
It was wrong, and it was contemptible. What ignited that revolution
was the assassination of a Sunni prime minister. Around a million
people – more than a fourth of the entire country – demonstrated in
Martyr's Square and demanded the ouster of the occupying Syrian
military dictatorship. There aren't a million liberal "bourgeois"
Christians in all of Lebanon. In any case, the Christians as a
community have proven themselves far less reliably anti-Syrian and
anti-Hezbollah than the Sunnis.
But why do such third-worldist orientalist think this way?
The Westerners I've met personally who believe and write this sort
of thing suffer from a condescending Third Worldism and a barely
concealed contempt for Middle Eastern people whom they don't think are
"authentic." Arabs and Muslims (and presumably now Persians) aren't
supposed to hate terrorists or yearn for democracy like Americans do.
They're supposed to be in thrall to "resistance" and every other
morally and politically bankrupt ideology that attracted the afflicted
expats to the region in the first place.
My experience has also been similar. Too many people, who in their heart of hearts hate US-backed regimes for their "tyranny", "undemocratic ways" and let's not forget "torture", immediately change their tone the moment an anti-US regime does the same. Using such logic, Egypt is a dictatorship controlled by a brutal security apparatus that oppresses the people and has fake support rallies by usually by forced government workers, and Iran is a democracy where the government has to stand against a minority of US-friendly bourgeois and has authentic rallies of support that the poor attend out of their love for the elected president.This way Saudi is a fanatic theocratic terrorist sponsoring country where no human rights are respected, but Iran, ehh, they support the resistance, so we can't call them for doing the exact same thing. That would be, ehh, counter-revolutionary.
Needless to say, they can't publicly say that. So instead they will talk about anti-Iran bias, or western media propaganda, or how this is the will of the people. Ignoring, for example, that without an openly democratic society, where all points of views are debated, and where there is freedom of the press and political expression, then the people really have no will to speak of. Fuck, candidates can't run if the regime doesn't like them: how much is their will respected under such a regime? They will start yelling at people that the election was fairly won (as fairly as one can win an election when one controls the media, the state resources, and let's not forget appoints the head of the government body that monitors and counts the ballots) and that protesters are unrepresentative minority of the population whose views should be dismissed, nevermind that they include (that we know of and can prove under a complete media blackout) students, regular iranian people, clerics, garbage collectors and, now, doctors and nurses. And needless to say, those people represent all classes of society, not just the poor, and thus makes them actually more representative of whatever person the government bussed in and promised a bag of potatoes and rice for their support. But of course, they won't admit to that, because that level of intellectual honesty contradicts their goals and beliefs, and we can't have that. So they will continue looking and searching for whatever random (and god knows there are like 5 only) article that proves their point, and they will repeat verbatim the talking points of the Iranian government propaganda apparatuses, hoping in their heart of hearts that the green revolution gets crushed under the boots of brutes and government thugs, so that their intellectual dishonesty gets validated, no matter what the price.
Now, it's impossible to prove either side right or wrong, especially with the absence of election monitors, a blockage of all communication methods the eviction of international media, and the brutal crackdown that the government conducted (and that not a single one of those subhuman third worldists has condemned so far) on the student population. But, there is one thing that I will leave you with, and please think about it: There is not a government in the world, that has conducted a fair election, and then followed it with a communication blackout and the institution of martial law. Not one!
Think about it!

Two robbers beheaded
Posted on サ Wednesday, September 12, 2012
RIYADH: Saudi Arabia beheaded two nationals in Jizan yesterday after they were convicted of armed robbery, the interior ministry announced.
"Mohammed bin Ahmed Kharmi and Musa bin Mohsen Kharmi lured a man and opened fire on him," the ministry said in a statement published by SPA state news agency, adding the victim, whose identity was not disclosed, was wounded.
The pair "stole the money he was carrying which belonged to the company he works for," said SPA.
Separately, a Palestinian identified as Wael Anbar was beheaded in Jeddah for stabbing to death a Yemeni.

When we leave all the prejudice aside, the sharia punishments do have merit. I have always maintained that a government can only do one of two things: either protect the victims or protect the criminals. In our bleeding heart, politically correct modern First World countries, the protection of criminals has become far more important than the protection of victims. Don't get me wrong, "In dubio pro reo" is a good legal principle, but it has been taken much too far. There do not seem to be any consequences of bad behavior any more, only lame excuses and explanations. Swift and transparent justice like the one reported in the original post is sadly lacking from our world. So maybe we may want to look a little closer at how "the other half" do it.Overkill is underestimated!

Neighborhoods: North End, Central
Good value for authentic Italian food – I went here a few years ago, and remember being underwhelmed in comparison to how long I had to wait to get inside. The food was definitely good - not specifically memorable, although the gnocchi was fantastic. And for no more than $15 an entree, it's a good value for a nice, hearty Italian meal. However, the ambience failed to impress me - the tables were packed in too tight, and they weren't dressed up or anything.
ALL BLOW AND NO SHOW!!!! – I have heard alot of hype about this place since moving here. In the summer, there are always lines out the door so I waited until the winter to check it out. This place is all blow and no show!!! The "fresh pasta" is not so freash. I can make better at home! There are many other hidden places in the North End that are far superior that Giacomo's. I will not be going back. Dont waste your time!!! Leave it for the tourists!
Scrumptious – We first came August of 2007 -recommended by one of my co-workers. My husband and I loved it! The food, especially the seafood, is fresh and mouth watering. We came to Plymouth this past weekend (8/14/09) and had to drive here for dinner. We could not pass it up! As usual the Zuppa di pesce for two with the wine was out of this world! We'll be back!
Fast Service Sloppy Preperation – Went on a date here, not the best place to go for a date but thats ok. It smelled amazing inside but the food didn't match the smell. The calamari was chewy=overcooked. My ceasar salad was douced in dressing and my main course had a strange B.O like flavor it was a special and I thought it was going to be way better. I asked if the sauce was light or heavy and the waitress said it was light but it wasnt . Wasnt a fan. Some good things about the restaurant were that it was quick and the waitresses were not about BS and savoring the moment.
Test Review – I am just trying to see how to get my review on my wall in Facebook
Good place – Food is good guyyjnjs jkhhdfhhsd gtryerwk kjfhhsgdfhgsd ggahsdhaf jHDHASJJK HJASGHDAGFH AHFHAHSDFHHA HAHFHAHHFH HGDAS HGAFYASH HASGDHAS JASHHAHS YGYTGJ AYUGYHH JHAGSDGAS
Yummy Italian – I have only been to the location in the Southend and from what I hear it is the better of the two in regards to crowds. Excellent food, cheap prices. Wait Staff is extremely busy and would rather not chat during peak hours. I would highly reccomend.
This Place is Fun and and icon of Boston! – How much fun was this? We waited in line for 1/2 hour,then all those ahead of us were taken in., We were then, the next in line for the second service. We waited 45 min. more making friends of others standing in line all anticipating what this Restaurant has to offer. This was the second trip to Boston my husband had made and when I came This was the only place he said we MUST go. We looked at menu outside and knew what we wanted as soon as our buns got the seat.....mouth watering the whole time.
When we finally ushered in our table was actually the end cap of the Bar. We had a ring side seat to the kitchen.. This place moves very quickly, our food was up and ready in a flash... it was also the biggest platter of pasta and Seafood with lobster I have ever seen. We were Not rushed to eat.. service was just as expected, food was quality and wonderful, at the best prices in Boston. Go have fun! its worth it.
Fight the hype... – Way too much hype over this little spot. First, the entire experience is rushed. You can hardly sit down before they're asking for your order. Good menu selection (they push their seafood). Food is fair; ceaser salad is pretty good. No dessert but shouldn't be a problem with Mike's Pastries down the street. Reasonably priced, but they only accept cash. Overall fight the hype.
BEST ITALIAN FOOD – The best Italian restaurant in the US! not just Boston.... the only place my family and I go when we make a trip to Boston. Well worth the wait.

Smart accessories that make boating simpler and more environmentally friendly. Plug-in installation of instruments, active monitoring and troubleshooting, engine data in the chart plotter and the ability to upgrade the boat's functions at a later date. These are some of the options with Volvo Penta's electronic platform, EVC.
Volvo Penta's new 7" color display is a true information center for the boat.
The display can show engine data from up to three engines, trip computer information and information from different sensors, e.g. rudder angle, water temperature and freshwater tank.
Tow mode for Volvo Penta's gasoline engines with sterndrive makes wakeboarding, waterskiing and other water sports simpler, safer and more fun – for both driver and e.g. skier. In tow mode, the boat automatically accelerates up to a preset rpm and maintains this rpm regardless of what the skier does.
Three years ago, Volvo Penta introduced the pleasure boat industry's first joystick, which, coupled to Volvo Penta's IPS system, made docking simpler and safer.
This year, Volvo Penta is introducing joystick also for sterndrives.
The range of unique functions for Volvo Penta IPS is growing steadily. The new Dynamic Positioning System is yet another important aid for simple maneuvering and stress-free docking.
It was designed to be a revolution in boating.
And it became one.
This spring, Volvo Penta has delivered the 10,000th IPS system since the start in 2005.
With effect from 11 May 2009, Volvo Penta Japan would be re-located to a new address.
On 15 April 2009, VPPS conducted a customer seminar within "China Yacht Conference 2009" at Kunshan, Shanghai. Many participants attended this talk.
The facility was honored for achieving Performer Level status in the Tennessee Pollution Prevention Partnership environmental leadership program.
The legendary ocean researcher and diver Jacques-Yves Cousteau's research ship "Calypso" is currently being restored in France. Fully overhauled, the vessel will sail as the flagship for the Cousteau Society and help inform the general public about the seas and the environment all over the world.

ANNALS OF HOLLYWOOD about director Elgin James. At forty-two, Elgin James is trim and fit, a vegan who has long forsworn drugs and alcohol. His upper body is a scrapbook of tattoos, many of which embody aspiration. Others are darker, the inky residue of James's fifteen years leading a gang called F.S.U., for Fuck Shit Up. F.S.U. rose out of Boston's hardcore music scene to become a straight-edge militia whose members prided themselves on beating up drug dealers and neo-Nazis. In 2006, James renounced gang life and moved to L.A., where he hoped to break into film. Before long, he had a berth at Sundance Labs, the prestigious indie-film boot camp. In L.A., he discovered that he had the essential qualities of a writer-director: charisma, determination, and a deep well of sorrow. "When someone like Elgin, someone who was so raw and broken, uses film to get out of the violence, and uses it so beautifully—I was just very taken by that," Robert Redford, who founded the Sundance Institute in 1981, said. After taking Sundance Labs classes in screenwriting and directing, James worked to develop his first film, "Little Birds." But as his producer succeeded in raising the five hundred thousand dollars they needed to shoot it, James was arrested by the F.B.I. for attempted extortion. After James finished editing "Little Birds," he waived a trial and pleaded guilty. The news raced around Hollywood much faster than James's script had. "Little Birds" premièred, at the Sundance Film Festival, in January, 2011. The film is an intimate, idiosyncratic portrait of two fifteen-year-old girls, Lily (played by Juno Temple) and Alison, who live on the shores of the Salton Sea, in California's Imperial Valley. The crowd at Sundance was riveted. After the premiere, James learned that he had been sentenced to a year in the Metropolitan Detention Center, a federal prison. When he was released, this March, he was thirty pounds lighter, but glutted with ideas. Many in Hollywood have warmed to the Elgin James story because it fits one of the town's stock narratives: the triumph of the human spirit. However, as you get paid more it gets harder to preserve the authentic voice that made you desirable. James's common touch has attracted a band of industry stalwarts who are eager to help him succeed. One of them is the producer Brian Grazer, of Imagine Entertainment. Describes James's childhood and his experiences as a gang leader. James is currently developing several passion projects about strong women. The commercial projects he's been offered all summon up the ghosts of his past. His only real paycheck thus far has been eighty thousand dollars from Imagine Entertainment to rewrite "Lowriders." Mentions screenwriter Justin Marks. Describes a pitch meeting between James, Brian Grazer, and two other Imagine executives, about a musical loosely based on the life of Pharrell Williams, the hip-hop producer.

|5 Vegas
"won this humi on Make An Offer. This is a very impressive humidor. The finish is like 2 inches thick or something! The artwork has a vintage look. My cigars would thank me for getting this new home for them if they could."
"This is a beautiful humidor that I got for a great deal from CI (thanks again guys)! I was planning on taking it to the office to show off... but on second thought, it may draw too much attention and my prized possessions will quickly "disappear"... ahh the dilemma!"
"Absolutely love this humidor! (5 Vegas Tradicion Humidor) The picture does NOT do it justice. It has a nice glossy finish and looks great sitting on my bar. I had no problem getting it to 70 percent humidity... even in the desert!"
"Love this humidor(5 Vegas Tradicion Humidor). Great price. The size doesn't say it all. I have plenty of room for my 100 Churchill's in this humidor. CI has done it again. Easy set up. Took only 1 day to get to 70% humidity. Stays at 70% humidity easy. Thanks CI."
"I got this humidor with the 30 5 Vegas cigars in the combo deal and honestly didn't expect too much. But every time I look at it I just stare. Its truly a beautiful piece. I wet everything down and left it for a week, popped in my stash, and haven't had a problem yet! Definitely a great buy!"
"I cannot be more pleased with how this humidor looks and functions! My 5 Vegas cigars are well protected and kept perfect and ready to smoke in a nice looking piece of furniture! It's look adds to the room and I get a lot of comments on it! Worth every penny! Thanks CI for MMAO! I scored and you all need to take advantage!"
"This is a great Humidor no doubt. My pal picked one up with the combo. If properly managed he has no problems keeping 65% or higher. However I picked one up on a whack a deal for a price way to low to talk about. So I'm totally stoked cause I always wanted a nice looking piece. And this one is totally functional. Thanks CI"
"I loved this humidor once I got it and it looked amazing. After 4 months of owning it and storing it in a safe location, I noticed it was beginning to warp on the sides and realized it is cheaply laminated. My humidor is now warped around the sides and the laminated cover is peeling. It is a great humidor and I have been taking caution not to let it get damaged, but this is because it is covered with cheap materials."
"I have several humidors and this one consistently out performs the others. It maintains a good humidity and maintains it longer than any humidor I've owned. You won't regret putting your favorite cigars in this bad boy. In fact you'll be rewarded."
"Great humidor (5 vegas tradicion humidor and 30 churchill cigars) for the price. Good smokes (though I don't care for full-bodied) with the humidor. Definitely a good buy. Holds many MANY cigars and is larger than life. Keeps steady consistent RH, but I can't get the temperature right. Might have to re-calibrate the ol' hygrometer!"
"This box is not just a humidor, but also a work of art...beautiful. The seal is great, has been keeping the 70/70 without problem. I recommend this humidor to anyone. I also recommend the Black Ice. I just need to do some more shopping at CI to fill it up."

With a fantastic base 109 Speed that allows it to outspeed the majority of the metagame, a great boosting ability in Hustle, an awesome Attack stat, and a Bug / Steel typing that gives it two potent STABs, Durant has all the tools required to be a dangerous late-game sweeper in RU. It also gets an interesting boosting move in Hone Claws, which patches up the accuracy loss from its ability and makes it a solid boosting sweeper. Unfortunately, Durant's terrible base 58 HP, base 48 Special Defense, and weakness to common Fire-type special attacks make it easy to take down, and this is compounded by the fact that Fire-types such as Moltres, Entei, and Typhlosion are common in RU. Furthermore, its two main STAB attacks lack some much desired Base Power. Still, team support can remedy this issue to an extent, and Durant thus finally gets its chance to shine at least in the lower tiers.
This set works around two main things: Hustle and Durant's access to Hone Claws. Hustle increases Durant's Attack but lowers its accuracy, which makes Hone Claws the perfect move for it; Hone Claws not only increases its accuracy, but also its Attack, which are both key elements for a sweep. Iron Head and X-Scissor are reliable, powerful STAB moves, hitting a large range of threats very hard. Superpower is preferred for the last slot as it allows Durant to annihilate Aggron and Steelix, as well as give Durant a move to weaken Poliwrath for a teammate. Rock Slide hits Flying- and Fire-types such as Entei, Moltres, and Typhlosion for super effective damage, providing excellent overall coverage.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
The main purpose of this set is to capitalize on Durant's excellent base 109 Attack. It is based on the concept of high-risk, high-return: despite its great offensive presence, the unreliable accuracy of Durant's moves due to Hustle can be a major issue at times. Nonetheless, this set allows Durant to OHKO or 2HKO defensive threats such as Uxie and Poliwrath, and can be used over the Hone Claws set if one feels that Durant doesn't have many opportunities to set up. Iron Head and X-Scissor are excellent STAB moves, while Rock Slide gains coverage on Flying- and Fire-type threats. Stone Edge is viable, but its low accuracy is off-putting on such a specially frail Pokemon. Superpower rounds off Durant's coverage, hitting the bulky Water-types, particularly Poliwrath, for good damage as well as letting Durant blow past Aggron and Steelix without breaking a sweat.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Durant has a very bare-bones movepool, so there really aren't any other options to consider. Thunder Fang can be used to nab a super effective hit on Poliwrath and Qwilfish, but offers nothing else apart from that, and Superpower gives Durant a strong hit on Poliwrath anyway at +1. Baton Pass can be used in conjunction with Hone Claws and / or Rock Polish. Substitute can be used on the Hone Claws set to avoid crippling paralysis or burn, but this significantly reduces Durant's coverage.
Checks and Counters
Qwilfish is a solid counter to Durant; it resists both of Durant's STAB moves, and its Intimidate ability lowers Durant's Attack. Poliwrath is a close second as it resists both of Durant's STAB moves as well as Rock Slide, and can either phaze Durant out with Circle Throw if it's at +1 or take it out with Scald at +0. Rotom is the next best option, as it resists all of Durant's moves bar Rock Slide and can either burn it with Will-O-Wisp or KO it with Thunderbolt. Steel-types such as Steelix, Escavalier, and Aggron barely get scratched by Durant's attacks bar Superpower, and can Roar it out (in the case of Steelix and Aggron) or deal a huge amount of damage (in the case of Escavalier and Aggron). Moltres resists all of Durant's moves unless it carries Rock Slide, and can OHKO with a Fire-type move; other Fire-type Pokemon such as Entei and Emboar also work well, but must be careful of being worn down by Superpower. Faster Pokemon, including Choice Scarf users, with powerful special attacks also take out Durant without too much fuss. Sceptile and Accelgor both outspeed Durant and can OHKO with Focus Blast. Tauros and Swellow also outspeed and can do heavy damage. Choice Scarf users such as Manectric, Rotom-C, and Primeape can revenge kill Durant. One risky option that you should take note of is Magneton; it can trap and OHKO Durant with Hidden Power Fire, but is slower unless it is holding a Choice Scarf and will be OHKOed by Superpower. Finally, status—both burn and paralysis—is a big issue for Durant as well, as it then becomes complete dead weight.

LINCOLN — A year ago, Nebraska freshman linebacker Josh Banderas sat in front of his TV like most Husker fans, thinking the same things fans were as he watched NU's defense grope fruitlessly at UCLA's array of offensive talent.
"Crap — what are we doing?" Banderas recalled saying
Nebraska was in the midst of giving up 36 points and 653 yards. And missing tackles. Lots and lots and lots of them. Almost 300 yards worth, NU coach Bo Pelini said in his Monday press conference, if you count up all of the yards the Bruins gained after shedding initial contact.
In the bowels of the Rose Bowl afterward, the faces of Blackshirts were as red as their road pants. They were gassed from chasing UCLA all over the field — and embarrassed for not making more plays when they had the chance.
"They caught us off-guard," defensive end Jason Ankrah said Monday.
UCLA, which scored 58 points and gained 647 yards in its season-opening romp over Nevada, won't have the element of surprise in 2013. But that doesn't necessarily mean the Huskers will have more success taking down quarterback Brett Hundley, running back Jordan James and wide receivers Devin Fuller and Shaq Evans unless they're on top of their tackling game, coaches and players said.
That's because the Bruins' spread offense — like Wyoming and Southern Mississippi before them, and to some extent NU's own attack — will try to isolate defenders in space, make them whiff and create big plays because of it.
"You miss one tackle out there in this day and age, and it can cost you," Pelini said.
"Saturday will be a chance to make open-field tackles" junior safety Corey Cooper said. "That's going to be a key part to winning the game."
Husker players and coaches think they'll hold up better this time. Three reasons emerge:
|Want the latest Husker headlines delivered straight to your inbox? Sign up for email alerts!
� Better technique: Nebraska worked at length this training camp on tackling, and defenders were popping the sled after practice Monday. Banderas said there's nothing fancy about NU's tips — "bring your hips, wrap up" — but the coaches drill it consistently. Redshirt freshman linebacker Michael Rose — who's battling with Banderas for the starting middle linebacker job — said spatial awareness is part of having good technique.
"Make sure you use your leverage," Rose said. "If you got the sideline, use the sideline. If you got people coming, know where they're coming from. Make the sure tackle. Don't try to make the big play. Make the tackle that's going to get you to the next down. That's what it's all about: Sometimes when you're in the open field, it's just getting to the next down."
� More team speed: Nebraska coaches remain bullish on the overall athleticism of their young unit. Pelini liked how the Huskers attacked and gang-tackled against Southern Mississippi.
"That's where some of our team speed is helping us on the defensive side of the ball," Pelini said. "Guys are coming out of the stack and getting to the football."
Said defensive backs coach Terry Joseph: "We can hang with a spread team more because we can run at every level."
� Fresher athletes: Because Pelini chose to redshirt players like Rose, defensive tackle Vincent Valentine and defensive end Greg McMullen — and he didn't yet have Banderas and true freshman speedster Nate Gerry — Nebraska ran out of guys to play quality snaps at UCLA. Though NU's lack of depth bit it more during Big Ten play than it did against the Bruins, the Huskers were clearly exhausted when UCLA ran its 94th play to end the game.
"You look at that and say, 'OK. I screwed it up.' I'm not scared to say that," Pelini said of NU's average depth. "Looking back, I wish I would've done it differently. You have to plan for those things and make adjustments as you go forward. That's what we are doing."
Pelini called NU's large rotation of players, however young they are, the "ideal situation." Ankrah agreed.
"When you're tired, the legs get heavy and your technique starts to break down a little bit," Ankrah said. "When you have all those guys who can play — a lot of fresh legs, a lot of guys who have rest who can go in and do the exact same thing — it helps out a lot."
Nebraska tackled better against Southern Mississippi, Pelini said, adding a few attempts were "sloppy" on the perimeter when defenders went "too low" on Golden Eagle receivers. The coach applauded NU's overall hustle to the ball. One guy didn't have to make certain plays because he had more help. That same effort will be needed, Cooper said, to slow the Bruins.
"Defense is a lot easier and a lot more fun when everyone's flying to the rock," Cooper said.

I worked at Elizabeth Arden
Pros – Good benefits and a lot of traveling. Company very reasonable on amount of money you can spend while traveling compared to other big corporations that book you on cheap hotels and make you flight on your own time.
Cons – Nothing is perfect. You have to wait a year for your stock to become vested.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

The Lido Theatre was opened in 1938, and the first film it played was Bette Davis in "Jezebel". The reason for that was that Davis lived nearby in Corona Del Mar and traveled by the site daily. Upon stopping onsite, she told the owner "they had better open with my picture." And they did. Davis also is responsible for the sitting parlor in the ladies room that harkens back to a time when women sat and smoked and chatted while arranging makeup in the mirrors. The parlor stools are period pieces and add such a wonderful touch. Included in tribute to Davis, is a framed lobby card of "Jezebel", which hangs on the parlor's wall and greets you upon entrance. There were supposed to be a Men and Women's room downstairs, but Davis insisted on the sitting parlor for the ladies, and so the men's room was relocated upstairs.
The entire theatre has been restored, down to the tile work done in the 30's by an Italian family. The tile setting, called Catalina Tile, is only seen in one other site. The original family restored the tile. The Lido seats 622, of which 410 seats are downstairs and 212 are in the balcony, which are prime seats for all ages. The poster cases are original, as is the tiny box office located outside the theatre under the Grand Marquee, and the Lido still uses manually dispensed real tickets instead of computer generated ones. The Grand Marquee is spectacular, with neon that lights the entire street, and painters and photgraphers can be seen daily in front of the theatre. Many companies rent the Grand Marquee to use in portfolios or in commercials, and it has been a popular site for film and television backdrops. Even the movie show on the TBN Network, "Master's Theatre", filmed it opening on the marquee, and in the projection booth and inside the theatre. The Lido has a waterfall red velvet curtain that rises with each show, and no pre-show advertisements are allowed by the owners.
The theatre's interior features period movie art, from "Gone With the Wind", "Casablanca", and others. But a most stunning feature is in the auditorium, where black light illuminates the wall paintings of ocean scenes. Regency has put in a sound system that is rated one of the best in Southern California, and even sound engineers rave about it.
The Lido features independent film, and has become a landmark for the independent and foreign genre. However, the Lido is only a block from the ocean, and surfers of all ages live in Newport Beach, so the Lido is also the surf film capital of Southern California, and runs a schedule of classic and new surf films. Many surf films, such as "Riding Giants" (Sony), have had their wolrd premiere there, with a parade of Woodys bringing the stars to the front, where during surf premieres, they walk a blue carpet to the theatre's doors. Once a summer, senior surfers (60-95) compete on Senior Surf Night to tell tales of local escapades and surfing adventures of times long gone, to the cheers of surfers in their teens and twenties.
The Lido is also home for premieres of skateboarding, skating, and skimboard films. Regency also works extensively with the Newport Beach Film Festival(NBFF), and the Lido is a location for prime features of the festival, which is held each April. Together, the Lido and NBFF also present cinema treasures, such as a yearly Christmas screening of "It's A Wonderful Life" to families and children.
The Regency Lido is alive and well, and the theatre staff receives thanks daily from generations of families who attend regularly, and it is common to see grandparents, their children, and their grandchildren attending together, and rushing for the balcony seating! The Lido is located on Via Lido, just off Newport Boulevard as you cross over to Balboa Penninsula in Newport Beach. There are many restaurants and stores in the area, and directly across the street on the bay is Lido Village, a quaint and eclectic group of stores and restaurants. One block away is the pier and the fishing village, and of course, Newport Beach.
The Lido Theatre prides itself on SERVICE, with each visitor being greeted upon arrival and thanked as they leave by being offered a special mint, but one of the biggest favrites for movie viewers is on weekends, when noted announcer and restaurant critic, Jim Woodin, introduces the shows with tidbits and trivia, and always gives away prizes to an unsuspecting guest. And as his hand raises to the screen, and his voice booms out, "Ladies and gentlemen, enjoy the show," the lights go down and Hollwood magic has returned.
The box office opens 15 minutes before the first film starts and closes 15 after the last film begins.

Health insurance reform opponents continue to spread myths about America's Affordable Health Choices Act, including the notion that Republicans are fighting against health insurance reform to protect seniors from Medicare changes. In fact, the House bill improves care and benefits under Medicare and extends Medicare's solvency. But in the hypocrisy file: over the years, Congressional Republicans have made no attempt to hide their attempts to gut Medicare — from peddling privatization to ramming through a flawed prescription drug benefit written for and by the drug industry. As Vice President Joe Biden said yesterday:
"They [Congressional Republicans] were nowhere to be heard in the '80s and '90s when we were trying to protect Medicare…I find it absolutely fascinating these guys who wanted to cut Medicare before, these guys who didn't like it in the first place, are now out there telling you that this is the best thing that ever happened since sliced bread."
MYTH: Congressional Republicans are trying to kill health insurance reform to protect seniors and Medicare.
FACT: In April, 80 percent of House Republicans voted for Rep. Paul Ryan's Republican Budget substitute amendment, which would have essentially ended Medicare as we know it by turning it into a fixed voucher system where seniors would be forced to find health insurance on the private market.
For their part, House Republicans are offering an alternative that eventually would end Medicare as it is presently known.
National Journal reported (8/28/09):
Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele's pledge this week to 'protect Medicare' might have been more convincing had it not come five months after nearly four-fifths of House Republicans voted to literally end the program as we know it for all Americans younger than 55.
FACT: Nothing in this bill would reduce Medicare benefits to seniors. In fact, the bill would make improvements in Medicare benefits, lower costs, and preserve choice for America's seniors while at the same time achieving new efficiencies in Medicare; expanding authority to fight waste, fraud and abuse; and eliminating the wasteful Medicare Advantage subsidies to private insurance companies–money that can and should go back to seniors' care.
In addition, the $540 billion in Medicare savings over 10 years in the House bill is a gross number. That figure does not take into account the bill's new spending of $304 billion to improve Medicare benefits and health care for seniors, including the following:
Lowers drug costs by gradually closing the "donut hole" for prescription drug reimbursement
Preserves choice of doctors by eliminating a 20 percent cut in doctor reimbursements
Lowers costs by eliminating copayments for preventive services
Improves low-income subsidy programs, including under the part D program, to help ensure Medicare is affordable for those with low and modest incomes
Computerizes medical records so seniors won't have to take the same test over and over or relay their entire medical history every time they see a new provider
Expands the medical workforce so seniors will have more doctors to choose from and an easier time getting an appointment
Develops new practices to improve quality such as the new Center for Quality Improvement that will identify best practices are distributed widely
Lengthens the solvency of Medicare by five years

what happens when you EXPAND – you create a great steakhouse ...you open other locations and what happens ?- you lose control of quality. This is a very badly run place - nothing like the orginal in NYC.
The service is so bad, customers are treated so bad
the staff and management are the age of fast food hamburger stalls. save your money....there are oher good steak housed in AC. THIS ONE SHOULD CLOSE DOWN - if they can't give any better service - than a Duncan Donuts.
good food, awful service. Go elsewhere – 10 guys for dinner, all show up in great moods from the beach and a few good hands at another casino. We are seated in the back and the waiter takes our order. Then we didn't see him for quite a while. We had to beg for ice water while they were pushing the expensive Voss sparking water.
We order our meals and then wait for about 40 minutes for them to arrive. I ordered the Signature Strip steak, a bone in rib eye. I eat this steak alot and in many different restaurants. This was the lowest quality steak I had eaten, and three other guys tried it and agreed. I shared this opinion with the waiter and he proceeded to tell me that the four of us must be wrong. we get the bill and the manager tells us we have to leave for another seating. that really did it for all of us.
Most everyone else was satisfied with their meal but across the board we all agreed the service was so poor that we would never return.
It is a shame that they are dulling the name of a classic NYC spot that has phenomenal steaks.
Don't waste your time.
