And if the beginning and end of top-ranked Alabama's 38-7 rout of No. 13 Mississippi State on Saturday was any indication, the Tide looks ready for this week's showdown in Baton Rouge.
The Missouri-like middle, on the other hand?
Continued worries about quarterback AJ McCarron's health?
Yeah, not so much.
Two weeks after McCarron sustained a bruised knee at Missouri, touching off rumors of worse the following week, Alabama's second-year starting quarterback jogged off the field and into the locker room in the fourth quarter against Mississippi State.
The nation's pass-efficiency leader left the game with Alabama holding a 24-0 lead. He returned to the sideline but not to the game, which the Tide had in hand.
ESPN reported that McCarron had a bruised back, and Alabama coach Nick Saban confirmed it after the game.
"He has a back contusion, but he's fine," Saban said. "He could have gone back in the game."
McCarron looked good prior to leaving the game, hitting on 16 of 23 passes for 208 yards, including a 57-yard touchdown bomb to Kenny Bell a 9-yard touchdown pass to tight end Michael Williams.
Still, McCarron took two sacks against Mississippi State, and his second tweak in two weeks leaves one to wonder how well he'll stand up to potential hits against LSU.
There was also the long, two-quarter gap between Alabama touchdowns, a span reminiscent of the Crimson Tide's lightning delay lull in the 42-10 victory at Missouri.
After building a 21-0 lead on McCarron's touchdown pass to Williams at 13:33 of the second quarter, Alabama didn't find the end zone again until after McCarron left the game. Backup Phillip Ely dumped a short pass to running back Eddie Lacy, who ran to complete a 27-yard touchdown play at 13:06 of the fourth quarter.
The lull saw Alabama go through six possessions, including three consecutive three-and-outs in the second quarter.
The defense, meanwhile, needed two big plays from safety Robert Lester to keep State (7-1) from making good on a 16-play, 97-yard drive in the third quarter. Lester stopped LaDarius Perkins on second down and goal from the 1 then intercepted a Tyler Russell pass in the end zone on third down.
Saban didn't seem alarmed by Alabama's two-quarter snooze. As he did at Missouri, he touted the Tide's 21-0 start.
"It was important for us to get off to a fast start in this game," he said. "You're preparing yourself to fight a 15-round fight, knowing that you're going to have to take the fight to them in the early rounds.
"You can't necessarily win the fight in the first round, but you can certainly lose it, and I think we had the right mental energy and the right physical energy to play in the game."
That's what this surprising battle of unbeaten teams became about for Alabama … the next game.
Mississippi State was enjoying its best start since 1999 but against a suspect schedule, a fact that made the Bulldogs 24-point underdogs in Bryant-Denny Stadium. Alabama had a 24-0 lead by halftime, thanks to Jeremy Shelley's 34-yard field goal just before the break.
State got its lone score at garbage time, on backup quarterback Dak Prescott's 2-yard pass to Robert Johnson with 4:39 to play.
Besides Alabama's goal-line stand, the Bulldogs had just one other scoring threat, and that ended when Dee Milliner blocked Devon Bell's 31-yard field goal attempt on State's first possession.
The Tide started and finished strong, adding Ely's pass to Lacy and Kenyan Drake's 3-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.
The announced crowd of 101,821 began to leaving in the third quarter on a windy, chilly night.
The Tide's start meant that Alabama clearly didn't look past the Bulldogs to No. 6 LSU, a team the Tide played twice last season, including Alabama's 21-0 victory in the BCS title game in January.
The lull after Alabama's blazing start made it seem the Tide did look away for a while, something Alabama can't do in Baton Rouge.
An Alabama team that has had pass protection issues at points this season also doesn't need to get an increasingly dinged McCarron hit. No doubt LSU's defense is well aware.
Saban is plenty aware of what's coming and showed it by maintaining form throughout Saturday's game, scolding backups like defensive back Geno Smith in the fourth quarter.
Saban explained that he believes his backups can play better. Also, there's the big picture, which just shrank to LSU week.
"We need to keep improving as a team," Saban said. "You get to this point of the season, and it's kind of like the playoffs in a way. You've got a tough game the next week. You've got a good opponent the next week. You've got somebody in your division that's a really good team.
"So, we're going to have to continue to improve and learn from our experiences today in terms of the good things that we did and also correct some of the things that we didn't do very well."

SOUTH AFRICA: Hunting Report KMG Safaris in the Eastern Cape
I have visited South Africa and the Eastern Cape 3 times before and have a lot friends there. So I always come back there. After getting voted travel leader for a trip to Kenya and South Africa with my girlfriend, friend from childhood and his girlfriend I started entertaining the idea of fulfilling a dream I had yet to experience, hunting in South Africa. Since my friend also was hunting in Norway I asked him and he said yes at once. I started searching for outfitters in the Eastern Cape, and after about 50 outfitters and a lot of research on AfricaHunting.com I found one. KMG safaris with Marius Goosen. He had good prices and was active on africahunting.com. The reports I found was positive and the prices seemed good. Since we had our princesses along for the trip it was imoprtant that they would have a good time as well. So I sent him a mail and I wouldn`t regret it Since me and my friend where very new to hunting bigger animals than bird, he helped me along with every question.
After 8 days in Kenya with a great photo safari we where ready for the hunting safari. We landed in Port Elizabeth at about 1000 and Marius met us at the airport. Since the girls where tired we drove straight to the camp, which was beautiful. Since we had such a short time hunting, the guys wanted to go for a afternoon hunt. We where hunting 2 to 1, but we where lucky enough to have 2 private hunters since Tertius (PH nr 2) also came along. After shooting in the rifle we where borrowing. A custom built .308 on a Mauser action with a suppressor. The riflescope was a Leupold VX-R 4-12x40. Ammunition was PMP 150gr. This was Marius private rifle so I knew it was good. Marius also went through the shoot placement for warthog and impala, which was the trophies we where going for. I was both trying for a meat warthog, trophy warthog and trophy impala. My friend had the same except the meat animal.
Let the hunting begn. We drove off and had agreed that I was going first. At this point I was getting excitingly nervous. But felt I was in good hands. The second stalk we had we saw 4 warthogs at a distance and started to go for them. We saw that 3 of them could be a great meat pigs. In the stalk we walked and froze a couple of times since the pig was looking at us. We got within 50 yards, not sure since my adrenalin was pumping quit hard now. Marius put up the standing shooting sticks and I started to aim. Since there where more pigs together I had to wait a while. Suddenly Marius told me to take the shot then I saw the broadside and took the shoot. The pig went straight down! After a while we went up to the pig and it was finished. Everyone congraulated me and it was a great feeling, but also a strange feeling of respect for the animal. I was so glad that the shoot was good. My first animal was in the box A perfect first day.

The meat was also very good We had a spiit braai with all my friends in port Elizabeth. Everyone thought it as great!. Before and after picture.
The second day my friend started out hunting because of my success the day before. He got a good chance on a trophy pig, but used a bit much time before shooting and another pig suddenly ran out just 5 meters in front of them.
We took lunch and decided that I was going to try after lunch. After a couple of stalks we saw an impala. It looked straight at us and we where worried that it had seen us- Marius and me went around to the left through some bush and in a short while we could just see through some bushes. It was a narrow field of vision but Marius put the shootings sticks right. It was quartering towards us. Luckily Marius had explained me how to take down a quartering animal. At this point I stopped thinking and felt the sight go the right place and took the shoot. It was a difficult shoot for a beginner and the animal jumped and went away from the our line of vision. I was nervous at this point, but when we went around the bushes it was laying 10 yards from where it got shot. I was happy yet again.

Now it was my friends turned again and it would seem that our luck had turned. Within an hour he was doing a stalk through a lot of bushes against an open field. There was a lot of animals there. Zebra, blesbok, springbuck and of course some Impalas. This was probably the most difficult stalk and they where on hands an knees a lot. We where waiting a long while, but suddenly the shoot rang. He took the shoot at about 80-90 yards. It went straight down. 2 animals in 2 hours. A good day
The third day it was getting really warm. I think about 35 degrees in the shade, but of course we where in the sun. We took turns hunting and had some really good stalks, but the big pigs where eating at night now, so it was mostly sows with kids and younger males. Even though we didn`t get any animals we had a great day. Hunting in Norway is completely different from this. I have been on weekend hunts where I didn稚 se any of the right animals. Here we saw probably 25 different species. Magic. Like the last day where I was stalking on some pigs and suddenly had 2 white rhinos about 50 yards away from me. Amazing experience. Me and my friend with the rhinos in the middle.
The last half day we split up to higher our chance for some trophy pigs. This was the warmest day. 38 degrees in the shade and we where also getting quite hot. Luckily my friend got a chance and took it. He got a pig from 80 yards and it went straight down. He was happy we had now 4 animals in 3 days of hunting.
I have not mentioned the girls much. They have no interest for hunting, but where extremey happy with our hunting days. They got catered in every possible way. Pancake breakfast when they got up. 2 game drives 2 different places and a trip to nearby Grahamstown. If they had a request, they got it. We had some magic lunches and dinners with them. Marius and Tertius was with us every step of the way. With great food and todays stories. It wil be something I will never forget, but have to do again. This was awesome 3 days, but I am already planning my next trip in my mind. Next time will be longer and more animals. I have also have no doubt who I will hunt with the next time. KMG safaris with Marius and Tertius.
Sorry for a long report, but it could have been longer Magical experience!

Hi guys,
Thanks to all for the the posts
We sure had a great time. The "problem" now that is mentioned here. When can I go back?? Have to start saving at once. I don`t know many hours I spent already after the trip looking at hunting videos and dreaming of the next time I can go back. This addictive stuff, when you try it. When you can have this much fun in 3 days, imagine 7-10 days. Of course I have some new animals in mind. I think kudu is one the top of my list for next time.
The trip wouldn`t be the same without Marius and Tertius, both of them is so dedicated hunters and friendly people. You fee like family when you leave. Marius even drove to the airport 5 days later when we where leaving cape town, just to say good bye and send us off. Also when I came home he had sent me a packet with biltong spices so I could make it Norway. So I don`t miss SA to much. I am jealous of the guys going there this summer. You will have a blast.
As for Grahamstown, it ws only the girls who took the trip. We just hunted day and night
The warthog was food for over 30 people and tasted amazing. I am lucky to know a guy who does spit braais for a living. So he made it to perfection.

I came on and saw LTA was full and I remember when I was a newbie and the panic I felt the first time LTA was full and I didn't know what to do. Newbies, just go to general and ask for a mod and tell them LTA is full and <voila> new thread.
Okay, where were we...
but now i will get confused on who posted what....my brain has been like scrambled fried eggs....
so you will all forgive if i forget, my kids never forgive me you will won't you?
unfortunately i do remember that we all seem to be in alot of pain
i feel like someone should burst out in song.....
the sun will come out...tomorrow....
except here in the northeast or in my house thats not in the forecast
much ((((((HUGS))))))
No advice for anyone... just empathy and {{{LTA tribe}}}
Thanks for the supportive messages on the last pages of our previous 'home'. I'm glad that some of us are experiencing good things and are thoughtful to share with those still struggling.
WS-59: LTA (22+ years)
MOW-54: H's old girlfriend
D-day 08/11/08 (3 days before 25th anniversary)
Working hard on R
had an odd day....it was a sybil kind of day......
i am glad its almost over, although tomorrow may be an instant replay of today, i am so tired of always waiting for x to happen so that i can get to y...i think its time to jump straight to y....
jumping to y when the man has to stay, is so much easier said then done
i would love to a live a life that is much easier done then said......it might be exciting....
hope the quiet means good news for all....or at the very least some peace....
Laura Ashley..
With that, I am thinking a white clapboard house alongside a river. A long wraparound verandah with wicker furniture where we can watch the sunset and listen to the birdsong and just chat.
Sweetie, I am sure you must get tired of hearing this, but these are way early days for you, so go easy on yourself. At your stage, I was barely conherent...
Any song proposals to initiate our home?

Mind what you love. Mind how you are loved.
The Beatles
"Here Comes the Sun"
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right
Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
It's all right
I'm sure this is my twisted sense of humor showing but I love everything about it. The awful production of the video, Joey's hideous jeans, the old men with the violins, the dancers at the end, but somehow the sincerity under the irony..
OK. Maybe it's just me.
i was honest and told my husband and he started in with a million questions, none of which i answered save but 1, he wanted to know what i was going to do, i answered that i was very tempted but nothing right this minute
everytime he asked another question i told him that i was not going to tell him anything more, unlike him, i will not lie, and then i said well maybe i'll just give you the answer i told you to give me when you didn't want to answer anything...so i answered a few times that i don't know how to answer that...
what a self esteem booster,
oh and i did tell him that i was not the persuer like he was, i was persued....what a rush....
he started crying on the phone because he is in a panic, so i just told him to have a wonderful day and hung up.....
being asked out was a super cool feeling
telling my wh about was even better
i hope everyone else here has a wonderful day, i will check in later......
as always

What is the definition of LTA? How many months or years are considered LTA?
Are those that post reconcilling or divorcing?
What is shared here?
Seems like the questions are too general; but, I would like to know the temperment.
ETA: clarify
[This message edited by megT at 10:06 AM, May 8th (Friday)]
thats who we are, our ws's have had long term affairs,
mine had 2 of them simultaneously....he's as they say in the wizard of oz....a horse of many colors
Meg: I'm not sure where the line is between a STA and a LTA. Don't be intimidated by those of us dealing with 20 years or more. The A for some here was much shorter. There is alot of banter here that is just intended to offer emotional support to each other, but there have also been some very specific questions and answers. It seems to me that most of us are R, but I've noticed a few D as well.
Bring it on, sweetie. We're ready for anything, because this is an awesome tribe!
The typical definition of an LTA is 2 years or longer. However, I am concerned for you as your profile says R'd but now you are here. Is everything okay? Did you find out more from the past or did another bomb drop on you?
We are here to help.
gotta go do some errands, i will check in again later
its gotten quite a heated reponse
understatement of the century!!!
You know DS has stopped everyone from posting until you go back in there and post! Holeeee Sheeeet, girl!

February 04, 2011
The Placer County Board of Supervisors is scheduled to hear an item at its regularly scheduled Feb. 8, 2011 meeting regarding salary adjustments for law enforcement personnel represented by the Deputy Sheriffs Association (DSA) and other public safety personnel not represented by the DSA. In all, about 225 employees are covered, including sheriff's deputies, sergeants, district attorney's investigators and welfare fraud investigators.
The Board is required by law to make the adjustments as specified by Measure F, which was approved by Placer County voters in 1977. Each February, public safety management and DSA members employed in the Placer County Sheriff's Office receive mandatory salary adjustments. Measure F salary adjustments are formula driven. The adjustments are an average of public safety employees in comparable positions in the Nevada County, El Dorado County and the Sacramento County Sheriff's offices. Because Measure F increases are the result of a voter adopted ballot measure, they cannot be denied, adjusted nor delayed by the Board of Supervisors. From 2010 to 2011, Nevada County actually had the largest percentage raise for their Deputies: 4.82 percent. However, they also pay their deputies the lowest out of the three adjoining counties.
Effective Feb. 12, 2011, salary increases for Placer County public safety employees will be:
As part of the negotiated Placer County DSA Memorandum of Understanding, the classification of District Attorney Investigator will receive a salary set at 5 percent above the base pay of the Sergeant classification; and the Chief Deputy Coroner will receive a salary set at 7.5 percent increase above the base pay of the Deputy Sheriff II, effective February 12, 2011.
The total cost of base salaries for allocated positions for the remainder of this fiscal year is approximately $334,397 ($899,002 annualized), which the affected departments will be expected to absorb within their current budgets.

The next One Day Role Model programme will take place on Wednesday 7th May at COSLA Conference Centre in Edinburgh. Book your place now.
"By being who I am I've been able to channel my energies into what matters. I don't have to maintain a façade that is self-defeating and attacks my integrity."
Paul Newby
What is the Role Models Programme?
Stonewall Scotland, and hundreds of leading employers, understand that people perform better when they can be themselves and at Stonewall Scotland, we know exactly how important role models are to our sense of self. This one day programme, for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender staff at all levels in an organisation, is designed to help you think about what it means to be authentic in the workplace and how you can be a more effective role model. Through the programme we aim to increase the visability and LGB&T role models in Scotland's workplaces.
Am I really a role model?
At Stonewall Scotland we know that role models exist in all shapes and sizes, and at all levels within an organisation. If you are out in your workplace you may well be a role model without even knowing!
Stonewall's latest guide on leadership, Role Models: Sexual Orientation and the Workplace, illustrates the power of authentic leadership in our work through stories from lesbian, gay and bisexual role models leading in a range of industries. These include MPs alongside industry, private and public sector leaders. Authentic leadership theory assumes that good leadership happens when people make best use of what they do well in a way which feels natural.
LGBT people know what being inauthentic feels like, often on a daily basis, and know the impact that not being themselves has – socially, organisationally and developmentally in their careers. Despite the confidence of some prominent lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender business leaders and public servants in being open about their sexual orientation or gender identity, LGBT people remain under-represented at every level in many organisations. Numerous employers are now focusing on the career development and ambitions of their LGBT staff. This one day programme provides a unique opportunity to work with other lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender staff to explore these themes.
Through this programme you will:

What is an ectopic pregnancy?
In a normal pregnancy, a fertilized egg implants in the uterus (also called the womb). In an ectopic (say: "ek-top-ik") pregnancy, the fertilized egg does not make it to the uterus and implants somewhere else (see drawing below). An ectopic pregnancy most often occurs in the fallopian tube, causing a "tubal pregnancy." It can also occur in the ovary, cervix or abdomen.
It is important to find the ectopic pregnancy in its early stages. An ectopic pregnancy can rupture or damage the pelvic organ that it is implanted in. This can be very dangerous for the mother.
Diagnosis and Management of Ectopic Pregnancy by AM Lozeau, MD, MS, and B Potter, MD (American Family Physician November 01, 2005, http://www.aafp.org/afp/20051101/1707.html)

THE Hunter may be waiting between 10 and 20 years for an express train service between Newcastle and Sydney, with plans for an "incremental approach" to shaving 40 minutes off the trip.
The State Government's Infrastructure strategy released yesterday recognises the current CityRail service takes about two hours and 40 minutes, slower than the pre-war Newcastle Flyer steam train.
It recommends emphasis "in early stages" on operational changes, including "tighter timetabling and fewer intermediate stops", starting with reducing the trip from Gosford to Sydney to one hour.
Leo Murray, of Merewether, studies a bachelor of law and business full-time at the University of Newcastle but has been commuting to Sydney for work since the start of the year.
He has to take a train from Broadmeadow at 6.20am to get to work in time and doesn't get back home until after 8pm.
"On average I probably travel once a week," he said.
"Parking is extremely expensive [in Sydney] so I never drive. It's pretty obvious there should be a faster connection. A lot of people get on here [Broadmeadow] and Gosford in the morning so there's no excuse."
Newcastle MP Tim Owen said it was possible to reduce travel between Newcastle and Sydney by 25 to 30 minutes by cutting out 13 or 14 stations.

Making of the Modern World Library Guides
The library has developed a series of webguides for each of the Making of the Modern World classes. MMW 11 does not require extensive use of outside materials, so its webguide is a fairly general introductions to library research at UCSD. The guides for MMW 12 - 15 are course-specific and will help you find and use the best online and print sources you'll need to do research and write your papers.
Covering ca. 100 BC to 1200 AD, MMW 12 examines the development of classical empires from China to the West, their collapse, and their transformation into distinct medieval forms. It also examines the rise and spread of Christianity, Islam, and Mahayana Buddhism. This course is the first of two writing-intensive quarters in the MMW sequence.
MMW 13 provides a freamework for understanding developments in the global past from 1200 to 1750 and the transition from the medieval to the early modern world. This course is the second of two writing-intensive quarters in the MMW sequence.
This quarter examines the great changes in European society occurring from the late Seventeenth Century to the time of the Russian Revolution and considers the impact of those changes on the non-Western world. Topics include absolutist states and the Enlightenment, the French and American revolutions, industrialization, the rise of nationalism and the nation-state, mass politics, Western imperialism, and the colonial experience. Developments in non-Western countries during this period will be examined from their own internal perspectives.
This course begins with a consideration of the causes and consequences of World War I, and then looks at the post-war crisis of liberal values and institutions. It addresses the deepening of that crisis in the 1930s, especially evident in the emergence of ideological politics and extreme nationalism in the context of world-wide depression. That period provides the background for understanding World War II. Attention is then devoted to the Cold War, the competition between capitalism and communism, and the process of decolonization. The course ends with a discussion of the collapse of communism and the emerging world order (or disorder).
MMW 21, the first of two required courses for ERC transfer students, addresses themes and topics from the pre-modern world (from antiquity to the eighteenth century) and strengthens students' analytical, research, and writing skills.
MMW 22, the second of two required courses for ERC transfer students, addresses themes and topics from the modern world (from the eighteenth century to the present) and strengthens transfer students' analytical, research, and writing skills.

Product Description
3-Pc. Pliers Set Contains Needle Nose, Adjustable and Slip Joint Pliers
The Craftsman 3-pc. pliers set is all the average garage shop needs to do everything around the house. Needle or long nose pliers work for small items, getting into hard-to-reach spaces and making delicate bends in various materials. Slip joint pliers are relatively standard and will help you with gripping and wrenching on many projects. The adjustable arc joint pliers in this set are akin to a small pair of plumbers pliers. They will grip piping and even smaller nuts and bolts that need turning.
This 3-pc. pliers set lets you have a more comfortable grip on your tools. All of the handles are cushioned, so you get less friction and less pressure on your fingers and palms. You are able to work all day and complete many projects and fixes with less risk of blisters.
- Each piece of the Craftsman 3-pc. pliers set is designed with cushioned handles for easy gripping
- There are few jobs around the house or even in a shop that require pliers that you will not find in this set
- This set comes with one pair of needle nose or long nose pliers for small jobs
- You get a pair of slip joint pliers for standard gripping, tightening and loosening
- The arc joint pliers in this set are like channel locks for plumbing, but somewhat smaller
- Available for Gift Wrap

This Craftsman 3 pc. pliers set was a great price for a three of these pliers. I love that they have Craftsmans forever warranty. This set come with a 8 in. long nose, a 6-3/4 in. slip joint, and 9-1/2 in. arc joint. I like the no slip grip that is on the handle it lets you get a really good grip on the pliers. I have no cons on this set.
i use this tool a lot but when it broke they did not want to take back because the logo was erase i bought another with in two to three month logo erase again

The needle nose pliers have a sharper point than the Channel Lock brand I bought, allowing me to get deeper and into tighter spots. The arc-joint pliers have a flat joint instead of the screw going through the 2 pieces, which is making it easier from me to get between some tight places on my Toyota. The pliers also don't have the annoying bolt in the way, and the grips are very comfortable to hold tightly. My old ones have just the metal handles, which when squeezed tightly tend to pinch my fingers a bit. I'm very please with the construction of these American made pliers.

Who says Tom Brady isn't a great scrambler?
The Patriots quarterback was scrambling all over the New England sideline Sunday in Buffalo, frantically searching for his missing helmet before his team's first possession of the third quarter. He couldn't just grab a teammate's helmet, because his is outfitted with a coach-to-quarterback earpiece.
All around the NFL, it was a lost-and-found Sunday.
Lost: New Orleans. The Saints put up a good fight in Green Bay before falling, 28-27, to slip to 0-4 — amazingly, the NFC's only winless team.
Found: The reminder that regular officials make mistakes too. The Packers, whose "Fail Mary" defeat in Seattle spelled the end of replacement refs, were burned for a touchdown Sunday by two non-calls: an offensive pass interference in the end zone by the Saints, and a New Orleans fumble on a kick return.
Lost: A bit of pride. Oakland Coach Dennis Allen, Denver's former defensive coordinator, returned to his old city and saw the Silver and Black crushed, 37-6.
Found: Hope. Broncos fans concerned about Peyton Manning were relieved to see the surgeon back at work — 30 of 38, 338 yards, three touchdowns.
Lost: Detroit — yet again. Counting their playoff game, the Lions are 6-10 since starting last season 5-0. What happened to the resurgence of that franchise? The K-car had a longer run.
Found: A team that was prematurely buried. Minnesota followed its victory over San Francisco with a 20-13 win at Detroit. It was the first NFC North win for Coach Leslie Frazier, and the first time in 12 tries the Vikings have won a division game.
Lost: Jake Locker. The Tennessee quarterback was knocked out of a 38-14 loss to Houston with a shoulder injury. The undefeated Texans keep rolling.
Found: A way to win. Atlanta and Arizona also kept their unbeaten status, each winning at home with field goals at the end. The Falcons squeaked past Carolina, 30-28, while Arizona needed overtime to edge Miami, 24-21.
Lost: Two Redskins. In a freak accident before Washington's game at Tampa Bay, Redskins receiver Aldrick Robinson and safety Brandon Meriweather were injured in a collision during pregame warm-ups. Meriweather, who was making his return from a knee injury, ran into Robinson. Meriweather aggravated the knee injury and Robinson was briefly knocked out. Neither was wearing a helmet or pads, and both were ruled out of the game.
Found: The space between the uprights. Washington's Billy Cundiff beat the Buccaneers with a field goal after missing his previous three attempts. The Redskins can thank rookie Robert Griffin III and his never-say-slide running for putting them in position to win.
Lost: The football, by Kansas City. The Chiefs had six turnovers against San Diego, five in the first half.
Found: San Diego's offense. A week after being held to three points at home, the Chargers hit the road and outscored the Chiefs, 37-20.
Lost: Santonio Holmes. The New York Jets lost their star receiver to an injured foot a week after losing their best defensive player, Darrelle Revis, to a knee injury.
Found: A wildcat offense in the Jets game. The problem for the Jets? The wildcat belonged to San Francisco. Backup quarterback Colin Kaepernick ran for 50 yards in five carries, with a touchdown, giving future 49ers opponents one more threat to worry about. In winning, 34-0, the 49ers posted their first road shutout in a decade.
Drew and Johnny U.
As bad as this season has been for New Orleans, the Saints have reason to cheer quarterback Drew Brees, who Sunday tied Hall of Famer Johnny Unitas' record of a passing touchdown in 47 consecutive games.
Brees' record-tying touchdown was a 20-yarder to Marques Colston in the first quarter. Officials didn't flag an apparent offensive pass interference on the play, as Colston pushed the defender. At least it was the first time this season the Packers had reason to complain about an official's decision on a ball thrown into the end zone.
No, wait …
Crystal football
The Fox color analyst for the Seahawks-Rams game was former St. Louis Coach Mike Martz, who disagreed with the Rams' decision to line up for a field goal on fourth and goal from the three-yard line.
"I thought the way this [St. Louis] team is, I'd go for it," Martz said. "That's just me. Too much momentum going with these guys."
Wise words. The field goal was a fake, with holder Johnny Hekker taking the snap, standing up and hitting a completely unguarded Danny Amendola in the corner of the end zone. That was the Rams' first offensive touchdown in 100 plays, ending the NFL's longest active streak of futility.
Fine but not good
Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway is likely to get dinged by the NFL for his hit on Detroit receiver Calvin Johnson, briefly leaving Megatron crumpled and face-down on the turf. As a pass slipped through Johnson's hands, Greenway launched himself at Johnson and slammed his shoulder pad into the receiver's head. Looked like a textbook illegal hit on a defenseless receiver.
Guest of dishonor
Watching with the crowd at the St. Louis game was Gregg Williams, the Rams' suspended defensive coordinator at the center of the New Orleans bounty scandal. His son, Blake, coaches Rams linebackers.
Although he's banned indefinitely from coaching in the league, or even attending games, Williams asked for and received permission to attend Seahawks-Rams after being invited by a friend. According to NFL spokesman Greg Aiello, Williams "will not have contact with players or staff."
Greg the leg
On a day when normally reliable kickers David Akers of San Francisco and Stephen Gostkowski of New England missed two field goals each, St. Louis rookie Greg Zuerlein boomed field goals of 58, 48, a franchise-record 60 and 24 yards. All 19 of the Rams' points in their 19-13 victory over the Seahawks came on special teams.
"Right now, our kicker is the MVP of the season," Rams running back Steven Jackson said. "Pretty much, all we've got to do is get across the 50-yard line and we're in his range."
Around the NFL, lost causes and found objects
Among what was lost: The 0-4 Saints, Oakland's pride, Jake Locker and the Lions again. Found: Brady's helmet, regular refs' fallibility, surprising Minnesota and a way to win for Atlanta and Arizona.

Warning: SEE MANUFACTURER'S LABEL FOR ADDITIONAL PRODUCT INFORMATION AND SUPPLEMENT FACTS PANEL.
- Health Notes
A Healthy Person's Guide to VitaminsA Healthy Person's Guide to VitaminsEven in healthy people, multivitamins and other supplements may help prevent vitamin and mineral deficienciesIdeally, daily nutritional needs should be met through healthy eating-but the typical diet does not always supply all the vitamins and minerals a body needs. So even in healthy people, multivitamins and other supplements may help prevent vitamin and mineral deficiencies and they can also provide more nutrients than diet alone, which may help to protect against or manage certain diseases. The following list gives the daily optimum amounts of nutrients that might benefit healthy people.
Folic acid (400 mcg)
- The FDA-required fortification of grain products may have reduced deficiency in the general US population, but some authorities believe it is not enough to optimally prevent diseases such as heart disease and neural tube defects.
- The body's need for folic acid doubles during pregnancy. Supplementation prior to, and shortly after, conception is adequate and effective.
Iodine (150 mcg)
- A common deficiency in developing countries, iodine is more abundant in Western diets. Most people get enough unless they avoid iodized salt, seafood, and sea vegetables.
- People with thyroid diseases should check with their doctor before using iodine supplements.
Vitamin A (5,000 IU; as natural beta-carotene for nonsmokers)
- The synthetic beta-carotene in most multivitamins clearly does not prevent cancer and may increase the risk of lung cancer in smokers. In contrast, however, natural beta-carotene and several other carotenoids may help prevent certain diseases, including some cancers, although its safety for smokers has not been demonstrated.
- Due to concerns about birth defects and bone loss, people should not take over 10,000 IU of supplemental vitamin A in the form of retinol without consulting a doctor.
B Vitamins
- The typical Western diet may provide thiamine (B1; 1.5 mg), riboflavin (B2; 1.7 mg), and niacin (B3; 20 mg) in adequate amounts as they are added to white flour products and other foods that have been depleted of those vitamins.
- Biotin (300 mcg): This vitamin is produced by intestinal bacteria in amounts that, along with the typical diet, provide enough to prevent deficiency in healthy people.
- Pyridoxine(B6; 10 mg): Some deficiency may exist in as many of 25% of people living in Western societies, and may be most common in the elderly.
- Pantothenic acid (B5; 10 mg): This vitamin appears to be in short supply in the typical diet though its role in disease prevention is unknown.
- Vitamin B12 (5-100 mcg): Vitamin B12-deficiency is more common among the elderly than in healthy young people, except for vegans (vegetarians who avoid dairy and eggs) and in people who take acid-blocking drugs or antacids for long periods of time.
- Some people claim to experience improved mood, energy, and/or overall well-being when taking higher-than-RDA amounts of vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B3, and pantothenic acid, though this has not been demonstrated in research.
- Folic acid, B12, and pyridoxine help control homocysteine levels in the blood. Elevated homocysteine levels are associated with several diseases. Studies have shown that supplementing with one or more of these vitamins helps prevent or reverse hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) and may reduce bone fractures risk.
Vitamin C (100-200 mg)
- Severe deficiency is uncommon in people who consume Western diets, but mild insufficiency is found in 6% of healthy adults and larger numbers of college students and smokers. Some authorities have suggested that optimal intake for disease prevention may be at least 90 to 100 mg per day.
- Supplementation with over 200 mg per day of vitamin C by healthy people does not result in higher vitamin C concentrations in the body, and may be no more helpful for preventing disease than smaller amounts.
Vitamin D (400-800 IU)
- Vitamin D obtained from the diet and from sunlight exposure can be insufficient, especially in older people and vegans during the winter months. Vitamin D insufficiency is associated with bone loss and fractures in older people and other studies have shown supplementing may reduced bone loss and the risk of falls in older people
- Though toxic in very high amounts, up to 2,000 IU per day is considered safe.
Vitamin E (30-400 IU)
- Once widely thought to lower risk of heart disease, other trials have negated those findings and even found a small increase in the likelihood of all-cause mortality or heart failure. Therefore, some doctors advise people not to take large amounts of vitamin E (400 IU per day or more). On the other hand, circumstantial evidence suggests that "mixed tocopherols," as opposed to the more widely used alpha-tocopherol form, may be safer and more beneficial for heart-disease prevention.
- A reduced risk of prostate cancer in smokers was reported in a double-blind trial with 50 IU per day of vitamin E. However, similar studies have not found vitamin E supplements to protect against other cancers.
Vitamin K (80 mcg)
- Deficiency severe enough to cause bleeding problems is rare in healthy people. However, low vitamin K in the blood and in the diet has been associated with osteoporosis.

text: OH BOY! This is THE MOST important part of preparing a solder joint. When I worked as a plumber at Purdue University they had the COPPER ASSOCIATION come and do a hands on training session. When water passes over this ridge left in the tubing a phenomenon known as "HYDRAULIC JUMP" occurs. I have seen this on other plumbing forums that use multi syllable mumbo jumbo words. Water passes over the ridge and causes the water to swirl. We saw an example. It looks like backward horse shoe prints that get worn in the pipe to the point of causing a leak usually within an inch or two of the fitting. When I took the Indiana State Plumbing test if you did not ream the tubing it was an automatic fail. As far as I know getting a plumbing license in some states is as easy as going to an office and doing a computer test. Not Indiana. You still have to pour a 4" lead joint. But it has been a few years now so that may have changed. Also on the Indiana State copper test you have to figure a 45 degree offset with a 90 and two 45's. Your math is graded. Then your solder joint is cut and peeled back and graded. The 4 inch lead joint is capped at both ends and then about 40 pounds of air pressure is applied. It is put in a tank of water. If it does not leak then they bust the bell open and the lead joint is graded. OH, if it leaks you get to go home. Some State plumbing tests are VERY STRESSFUL! One of the guys I work with now at ASU worked for a plumbing contactor who told him "IF I CATCH YOU WASTING TIME REAMING THAT COPPER PIPE I WILL FIRE YOU!" Ain't that just great! I was taught to ream pipe long before our hands on seminar but it certainly proved to me why it is so necessary to do it. I also really like to clean pipe and fittings with those green Scotchbrite pads. They don't slip in my hand like sandcloth does.
