Film don't lie, fellas. "Patriots Hurt by Tom Brady's Accuracy Woes"
posted at 10/23/2013 11:03 AM EDT
BY JAMES CHRISTENSEN (FEATURED COLUMNIST) on Bleacher Report...
Tom Brady has been victimized by poor receiver play this season—including 25 drops after Week 7—but his performance has been far from beyond reproach. Brady himself agreed during his postgame press conference, courtesy of the team's official website: "The balls have to be better thrown. Everyone has to look at themselves and do a better job, because what we're doing right now isn't good enough."
According to ESPN Stats & Information, Brady connected on just four of his 20 passes that traveled 10 or more yards in the air and had 24 total incompletions. One play in particular highlighted how Brady has played this year. It illustrates his ability to manipulate defenses, recognize coverages and find open receivers. However, it also shows his inability to connect with those same receivers down the field.
The New York Jets are showing a Cover 2 look with man coverage underneath. The safeties are splitting the field in half. Aaron Dobson is lined up at the "X" receiver position with rookie Dee Milliner across from him. After the snap, the Cover 2 man under look is confirmed. Brady looks to be reading the right half of the field, with Rob Gronkowski inside and Dobson outside. Dobson needs to get by Milliner without getting too close to the sideline, where Milliner will use it as a second defender. The Jets safety here is reading the patterns of Gronkowski and Dobson, while keeping an eye on where Brady is looking.
Brady has all the time in the world with a clean pocket in front of him. Dobson is already passing Milliner on the outside, while Gronkowski is about to cross the face of his defender. The safety is in a very difficult position here. That subtle look from Brady causes the safety to flip his hips and commit to the seam route. Meanwhile, Dobson is a step clear of Milliner and pulling away. He has given Brady enough space to work with on the sideline, and this should be an easy throw.
The ball is now in the air, and the safety is toast. Milliner is over a yard back and has no chance to break up the play. Any ball in the field of play in front of Dobson is going to go for big yardage, if not a touchdown
Unfortunately for Brady and the Patriots, his pass lands a full four yards out of bounds, giving Dobson—capable of making some crazy circus catches—no chance at making the catch. Any pass near the black triangle is a huge play for the Patriots, assuring them of a field-goal try and giving them over a minute to score a touchdown.

Ok, so Brady admits he has to play better, too! What is your point?
It would be one thing if Brady is deflecting all blame on others and is oblivious to his poor play. So far, he is not. Seems a lot of folks are "enjoying" pounding on Brady right now. Given the circumstances of the offense around him, this is unfair to a degree.
Granted, this question may never get answered, but, how would other top flight QBs fare if their offense around them was falling apart with injuries, lack of talent etc..? It has been acknowledged across the board the challenges Brady is facing and how it is amazing the Pats are 5 - 2. Let's just accept it and know the team is trying hard to improve as it hurtles towards another SB appearance and title!

DoNotSleep.. ANY Pats fan who thinks the Pats are playing lights out and well IS dillusional. They are barely getting by and need to drastically improve and play consistently to even stay in the discussion for teams who are SB contenders. If the Pats have anything going in their favor, it is the young players are getting experience and better plus injured players are returning.

God can we please get off Brady's back. One day all of you people who complain about him will cut your left nut off to have him back. It unbelievable to me that you guys pick and poke at him.
So he has not been perfect this year.....so what....show me any QB in the league who would have performed better then Brady if you take their top 5 receviers away.
We are still 5-2, does that not count for anything.

As far as brady goes it is a combination of things. Yes, the rookies are still learning and he has missed gronk and Amendola no doubt.
It kills me to say this and but for anyone to say that he hasn't been sub par regardless of the other issues hasn't been watching what has been going on. Just in last weeks game the overthrow to Gronk and terrible throw out of bounds to Dobson were on him. those were 2 glaring ones there were at 3 or 4 more throws where he had time and just wasn't as accurate as we are used to him being.
I have no doubts he will turn it around Gronk and DA will give 2 more receivers to make him comfortable and by mid november this offense will start clicking.

But without Tom Brady, the Pats will not have a record 5-2. He has 2 jobs to do as a QB and a Coach on the field since the Pats offense is a complexe offense. If he just concentrate as a QB then, It will be easy for him.
Go Pats!

What the hell is wrong with any of you? You expect 100% perfection! Every QB has made bad passes. It happens. In the past, his receivers were able to catch the balls thrown. This year, he has nothing but unwanted trash at WR.
It's amazing to me. Oh, let's break down one bad throw. This shows that Brady sucks.
Go watch a bad QB, or an average QB, or a good QB or a very good QB. You'll be amazed at how awesome Brady is.
I hope every one of your pitchfork boys are here the year after Brady retires.

Tb has been clutch for his entire career
In All 5 SBs he has proved 4th atr game winning drives
He has made game winning drives even when he has had tough games
We could not have asked for more from him.
That said he has not been as accurate as in the past. Some have said he never threw a great long ball. But Weiss said at one time that TB threw the best long ball in the game. You canot say that now. They ran a stat vs the Jets on throws ofver 20 yrds - he was near the bottom in completion %
He has had mis-reads too
And Yes to
He has been under more pressure
He has faced in every game a very good front 7 - except maybe Atlanta
He doesnt have any of his top 5 receivers from last year
He hasnt had Gronk except for 1 game
He has had 2 rookie WRs starting
He may have had a hand injury in the last half of the Jet game
He's lost his lifetime passing guru
I believe J M sux on play design and adjustments
TB knows he has missed, I believe this will all be fixed.

Everybody knows Brady's been off this year. That said, NAS is right, Bleacher Report is little more than a blog site. The majority of their writers are unpaid, and they specialize in opinion pieces. In other words, blogs. It's basically the Buzzfeed of the sports world.

Can you read? Where did i say brady sucks? I believe i said he hasn't been playing well. i also said i have no doubt he will turn it around. First it's thinking it isn't Brady's responsibility to work with the rookie receivers and now reading comprehension. 49patriots is right the only way you will understand anything about football is through pop-up books.
BTW when he retires I'll be sitting in my seats in section 239 seeing you asked.

Yes, his accuracy has been shaky this year, that will happen when you have an entirely new cast around you and an OC that seems to ignore the running game. I think people look at 2007 and how fast he took off with Moss and Welker and have unrealistic expectations, it takes time to gel with new WRs....especially rookies! Moss was the 2nd best WR to ever play and Welker has shown this year that he is very quick to pick up a new offense. But at the end of the day it is Brady's job to hit the guys when they are open and there have many occasions when he has not. There have also been mnay time when he has, only to see it glance off their hands.
I love going younger at WR, but I think this is where 10 years of failing to develop a rookie WR is hurting them. Imagine if Taylor Price had panned out. Then Brady would have started this year with a veteran WR in the prime of his career, which would have been huge for the younger guys. Going younger is good...but it should be a gradual process, replacing nearly your entire WR group with rookies overnight is just begging for growing pains.

[/QUOTE]Anyone who doesn't see a connection between the two (completely new WR corps & Brady being out of synch) doesnt' understand football or has an axe to grind.
Of course he isn't going to be spot on .. the WHOLE offense is out of synch and it really shows against teams that frustrate the offensive line.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Trucking conditions improved in November, rising nearly two full points to a reading of 9.7 on FTR's Trucking Conditions Index. Any reading above zero indicates a positive environment for truckers. Readings above 10 signal that volumes, prices, and margins are likely to be in a solidly favorable range for trucking companies.
FTR officials said they expected the gain, noting that conditions impacting trucking will continue to improve in anticipation of a tightened market in 2013. Officials said the primary driver will be increased utilization, with an additional one-time hit from Sandy rebuilding efforts.
"We were forecasting an improved environment for trucking even before the agreement just reached to avoid the 'fiscal cliff.' There are still political hurdles to navigate in early 2013, but the agreement takes some of the uncertainty out of business plans," said Jonathan Starks, director of transportation analysis for FTR. "We'll keep monitoring the economy closely to look for any renewed softness in demand, but for now we believe capacity will tighten during 2013."

Scootababy Baby Carrier
" I purchased my Scootababy when my DD got too heavy for me to wear in our ring sling without a lot of neck/ shoulder cramping. It is very easy to use and I can wear her on my hip or my back. The back is high for her long torso. I love it it has been worth every penny. " --HeliMom


text: The elbow is probably cast brass, but brass, bronze, or copper, it's all the same. A heavy fitting defintely requires you to put all the heat on the fitting and try to get it up to heat as quickly as possible so the flux doesn't burn. I assume this is a 1/2" fitting, so any of the torches you mentioned should do the job.

I don't have easy access to a Mac so PC method is only likely solution.

BTW did Apple ever fix the bugs on OS4 with the 3G? I'm guessing they did, but it cant be unlocked or jailbroken.

Rated 5 out of 5 by joefalcone XLNT I've owned some good head ban headlights...but this light is the cream de cream of headlights. Was gold prospecting up in the high desert in Southern California for 6 days this past week. This light was dependable, bright and very useful. It's the best $45.00 dollars you'll ever spend on a quality head ban light. Do yourself a favor and buy one. You can't go wrong and you'll be glad you did.. October 22, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by bassgin Solid Headlamp! This thing is bright! I wish it was adjustable for depth and also width beams because it's pretty focused on a smaller pattern. It's great if your trying to see far in front of you but kind of hard to see a lot around a camp site when everything is 4-10 feet in front of you... granted that block that it does light up is very clear! The two alternate colors, blue and red are pretty handy to have. I just wish it didn't take the CR123A batteries since they're not always the easiest to find. If your looking for a bright headlamp to see things off in the distance, you can't go wrong. Just make sure to bring extra batteries just incase. October 17, 2011

"Powerful story that touches your heart, mind and soul."
"Powerful and inspiring."
"Powerful, well written."
"So much in it. Powerful on many levels."
These are five reader responses to Strength in What Remains. As I read through the first couple dozen surveys, I couldn't help but notice that "powerful" was the most frequent word used to describe the book.
A powerful book has great effect. The story or the way it's told may cause us to remember it for a long time. It may create awareness, challenge assumptions increase knowledge, or strengthen conviction. And it may prick any number of human emotions. The responses to a powerful book are as unique as we are.
What makes a book powerful to you?

Study Abroad: The Most Frequently-Asked Questions about Study Abroad:
The Application Process
Courses, Credits, and Grades
Cost and Financial Aid
What are the basic requirements?
CMC requires a minimum 9.0 cumulative CMC GPA for fall semester study abroad and 8.5 cumulative CMC GPA for spring semester. Most overseas programs require a GPA of 9.00. Applicants must be full-time students. Students with a cumulative CMC GPA below 8.5 may, under special circumstances, petition the Off-Campus Study Committee for approval to study abroad.
Do I need to know a foreign language to study abroad?
No. Many CMC approved programs have no foreign language requirement. Other programs may require anywhere from one to five semesters of language for acceptance. Despite the level of language required for acceptance, all students are required to study the host language while abroad. With a very few exceptions, if the host language is taught at The Claremont Colleges, students must complete at least one semester of the foreign language at the college level prior to studying abroad.
NOTE: First semester language courses are only taught during fall semester at the Claremont Colleges.
When can I study abroad?
Study abroad is available to second semester sophomores with a well-articulated academic trajectory. Affording the added benefit of gaining an international experience early in their academic career, and allowing them to spend a full two years in upper-level courses and having discourse with faculty at a more in-depth and sophisticated level. Students may also study abroad during the junior year, based upon program selection for fall semester, spring semester, or the academic year.
Can I study abroad during my senior year?
In general, studying abroad during the senior year is not recommended and should only be a last resort. Students wishing to study abroad during the fall semester of their senior year must petition the Off-Campus Study Committee for special permission.
PlanningBegin Planning Freshman Year.
Can I study abroad during the summer?
Many summer programs are available for those who cannot reconcile study abroad with their CMC course of study. For non-CMC administered summer programs, students apply directly to the program sponsor and are not subject to CMC policies for study abroad. However, students must request transfer credit approval in advance from the registrar to be eligible for credit. Final credit determination may be made upon the student's return. Approval by department chairs or faculty alone does not guarantee credit. As a rule, summer study at programs approved for study during the academic year will receive favorable consideration. No credit will be granted for summer study on programs reviewed, but not approved by the Off-Campus Study Committee. Financial aid is traditionally not available for non-CMC summer study. Students are advised to research summer study options at www.iiepassport.org. More information on studying abroad during the summer can be found here.
I am a science major. Can I study abroad?
Absolutely – and you are encouraged to do so! Science majors will find a multitude of advanced courses in Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Health at English-speaking universities as well as an impressive list of options for field research in non-English speaking countries.
I am an ME major. Can I study abroad?
Management-Engineering majors can study abroad but must plan on finishing their mathematics, physics and economics requirements before leaving. Meeting with the ME faculty adviser and the study abroad director during the first year is advised. ME majors normally study abroad during the spring of their junior year, their last semester before leaving CMC.
I am a pre-medical student. Can I study abroad?
Yes, it is not only possible but highly recommended to study abroad. In fact, your semester abroad may be very important during medical school interviews. Early planning is crucial and, depending on what science courses you still need to complete, your options will vary greatly. How can it be done?
Option 1 and Option 2
I am a psychology major. Can I study abroad?
Psychology majors are encouraged to take advantage of CMC's study abroad programs but need to consider the following:
Options for students planning to study abroad during the entire junior year:
- Complete Psychology 109. Introduction to Statistics for Psychologists, or the equivalent, in the fall of the sophomore year; and the Research Methods (110-111) courses in the spring of the sophomore year.
- With special permission of the department chair, in unusual circumstances students may take the Research Methods courses (110-111) and Statistics (109 or equivalent) in the same semester of the sophomore year.
Options for students planning to study abroad for one semester during the junior year:
- Students planning to do a one-semester senior thesis, rather than a two-semester empirical thesis may, with the permission of the department chair, complete the Research Methods (110-111) courses in the fall semester of the senior year. This option allows students to study abroad for one semester during the junior year and complete Statistics (109 or equivalent) in the other semester. However, it is still strongly recommended that all students complete the Research Methods courses before the senior year. Students with a one-semester thesis are not eligible for honors in psychology.
- Take Statistics (109 or equivalent) in the summer or during the sophomore year and the Research Methods (110-111) courses during the semester they are on campus in the junior year.
- With permission of the department chair, students may complete Statistics (109 or equivalent) while abroad. This option is only available at selected programs.
-Students studying abroad during the (second semester of the) junior year must obtain a thesis reader before going abroad.
-Students studying abroad during the second semester of the sophomore year can complete the Research Methods (110-111) courses and Statistics (109 or equivalent) during the junior year.
Can I attend a non-approved program?
The faculty-led Off-Campus Study Committee has reviewed and approved over 100 study abroad programs in 48 countries. In rare cases students may propose study on a non-accepted program offering specialized curricular opportunities, associated with the student's major(s), that are not afforded by any of the programs on the accepted list. Approval for such proposals is made on an individual basis.
The Application Process
Planning ahead is vital! Students should start serious planning spring semester of the Freshman year. To assist with this process, the Off-Campus Study holds many, many information meetings during the academic year. After attending the information meeting, students should meet with a study abroad advisor, complete a preference to study off-campus form, and request a program application.
The steps to study abroad are as follows:
1. Attend a study abroad information meeting
2. Meet with an OCS staff member
3. Complete a Preference to Study Abroad form by the CMC OCS deadline
4. Select a program. You will apply to only one program.
5. Meet with an OCS staff member to pick up a CMC application AND a program provider application. You will only receive an application after you have discussed your plans with an OCS staff member and selected your study abroad program.
6. Submit your CMC application and a copy of your program application no later than the CMC posted deadline.
7. Mail, or apply online, your program provider application no later than the CMC posted deadline.
Courses, Credits, and Grades
Do I get credit for courses I take abroad?
Credit is awarded provided that students receive approval from the CMC Off-Campus Study Committee, enroll full time (not minimum full time), and obtain grades of C or above while abroad. Credit/No-Credit is NOT an option. Courses from abroad must be the equivalent of at least 3 semester hours or 4 quarter hours to satisfy GE or major requirements. Courses of lesser value may be used only for elective credit, and only if approved by the CMC Registrar.
Can I count courses completed abroad towards my major?
Individual departments determine the number of elective credits that can be applied towards a major. In most instances, CMC students can receive up to two courses per major per semester abroad with prior approval from the chair of the department. Core courses should be completed on campus. Not every course students take needs to satisfy a major or GE degree requirement. Studying abroad is a chance to broaden one's education and to take courses unavailable on campus.
Can I complete a General Education requirement abroad?
Some academic departments will allow students to complete a GE requirement abroad. However, courses can be difficult to find because survey introductory courses are often taken at the foreign high-school level or are specific to CMC. It is highly preferable to plan to complete your GE requirements at CMC. Please remember that students may not complete more than four general education requirements off-campus, to include any combination of summer school, advanced placement, and study abroad. The Off-Campus Study Committee expects students to complete most GE requirements before studying abroad.
Do my study abroad grades get factored into my CMC GPA?
No. Students' grades from abroad will not be computed in the CMC GPA but they will be reflected on students' transcripts, including C-, D, D- and F.
Do study abroad programs have different academic requirements?
Absolutely. Program specific academic requirements are listed within each program description and region or country specific requirements are listed at the end of the region or country section on the Off-Campus Study Office web site.
Can I do an internship abroad for credit?
Students may receive one-half CMC credit for an internship completed while attending an approved program abroad. To be eligible for credit, the internship must require an internship course that must be completed for a letter grade. Internships that fail to meet these criteria are not eligible for credit. Receiving compensation for the internship does not preclude the granting of credits.
What happens if I don't follow the academic policies?
CMC has specific rules that MUST be followed and are outlined in the Academic Policies for Study Abroad. If you do not follow them, you will not receive full credit for your semester abroad. If there is any question about the requirements for your program, please ask our office!
Cost and Financial AidCMC students participating in study abroad or international exchange are charged CMC tuition and the CMC Study Abroad Program Fee (a fee equal to the cost of room and board at CMC). Students are billed in the usual manner. CMC pays the academic program abroad and room and board, as well as provides each student with an airfare allowance, which is a contribution towards the cost of round-trip transportation from Los Angeles to the program site, as well as all administrative costs incurred by CMC for each semester. An allowance for local transportation and for international health insurance may also be provided.
Students studying through CMC off-campus study should expect to personally pay for passport and visa fees, cost of medical examinations and immunizations, and refundable security/damage deposits. On site, students pay for personal needs such as: books, supplies, clothing, medical charges, laundry, postage, recreation, entertainment, phone bills, snacks, and weekend or holiday travel. These costs may vary considerably from site to site, and are likely to be higher than in Claremont.
Financial Aid and Study Abroad
Students on financial aid continue to receive all financial aid while abroad, including state and federal aid , as well as private and merit scholarships. Students with CMC grants-in-aid will also continue to receive their grants.

One of the things I enjoy when in my Marloth Park home is to have a sundowner on our terrace, watching the sky darken and the incredible sight of the milky way come out. Whilst waiting to hear the first lion call, I often spend time lazing back on a lounger and looking for satellites passing overhead.
For a half hour or so after dusk it is possible to spot satellites as they are still in sunshine, so you can see what looks like a small star moving quickly across the sky. Some of these are real satellites, earth sensing, communications etc. Others can be old rocket stages, large amounts of junk, and sometimes you can see the Hubble telescope or the International Space Station. If you know when and where to look you can even see the toolbag dropped by the astronaut on the last Hubble repair mission, although you will need binoculars for that. Most of the time they are steady, but occasionally one will be variable, sometimes disappearing altogether. This is usually because the object is spinning or tumbling in its orbit, with different parts having different reflectivity.
There are several websites that can predict what you can see from your location at a given time and date. I use the following:
A fascinating site - lots of info about all sorts of things.
Now who is going to start a list of satellites spotted
Happy skywatching

Hi Pepperjuice,
It certainly looks like one.
I haven't tried star trail photos yet. If we get clear skies when we are out in SA in just over two weeks time I'll give it a go.
Love your photo by the way

Hi pepperjuice. Yes, that looks very much like a satellite. I wouldn't be surprised if it's an Iridium Flare. What was the exact date and location of that photograph?
Awesome pic by the way!

beat the heat, not worrying about getting sick. But parasites and microbes can lurk in the sediment and, when the heat is high and the water levels low, the risk of infection skyrockets. Last week, 9-year-old Jack Ariola Erenberg was swimming in the warm waters of Lily Lake near his home in Stillwater, Minnesota. Days later he was dead, his brain ravaged by primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, an infection caused by a microscopic amoeba.
"It was just a fluke. You can't keep kids off a beach; what the hell are you supposed to do?" his father, Jim Ariola, told the Pioneer Press. "He loved going swimming. He was a great brother, great son."
Related: Summer safety: How to protect your child from drowning
Primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, or PAM, is extremely rare -- only 123 cases have been recorded in the United States since 1962, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But the parasite that causes it, Naegleria fowleri, is quite common. It's usually found in the soil and in freshwater lakes in the Southern part of the United States during the summer (it can also survive in inadequately chlorinated swimming pools or dirty tap water, according to the CDC's website), and can infect the brain when someone gets water up the nose.
"Infections usually occur when it is hot for prolonged periods of time, which results in higher water temperatures and lower water levels," the CDC site warns. Symptoms (stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, seizures, and hallucinations) usually start to show anywhere from one to seven days after infection. The infection, which is not contagious, usually kills in two to 12 days; out of the 123 cases recorded by the CDC, only one person has survived.
Related: Avoid dirty beaches with swim guide app
"The risk of infection from Naegleria in Minnesota is very low," Richard Danila, the assistant state epidemiologist, said in a statement. "We do not want to discourage people from swimming. Rather, simply avoid swimming, diving or other activities in obviously stagnant water while temperatures are high and water levels are low."
In Jack's case, the infection took over quickly. He went swimming "early to middle" of last week, his father told the Pioneer Press. By Friday, he was incoherent, "seeing things, just upset stomach, real bad headaches," his father said. "He didn't know who was around him."
By Saturday, Jack wouldn't wake up. "They put him on a ventilator, had a machine monitoring his brain," his dad said. "His brain just started shutting down."
The 9-year-old died on Tuesday, when he was taken off life support. He would have started fourth grade in Stillwater this fall. Wednesday would have been his first day at hockey camp, something he had been looking forward to all summer, his father said.
"Love your kids, you know?" Ariola, told KMSP-TV in Minneapolis-St. Paul. "Whether they don't want the hugs and kisses or not, just do it anyway because you just don't know and it could really be your last time."
Two years ago, 7-year-old Annie Bahneman of Stillwater died of a Naegleria fowleri infection, also after swimming at Lily Lake. Officials say that they are "99 percent sure" that Jack was infected with the same parasite, and have opted to close the lake to swimmers for now.
"It looks like the same cause," Danila told the Pioneer Press.
"We don't know if they acquired it from Lily Lake, but out of an abundance of caution, we thought it should be closed," Danila said. "It's the most likely source."
Lakes can't be treated to eliminate bacteria or other parasites, but heat-loving microbes like Naegleria fowleri go dormant when the water temperature drops below 80 degrees.
Freshwater lakes and streams have an entire ecosystem that can't be seen with the naked eye. In addition to amoebas, there are bacteria, viruses, and other single-celled organisms, the Water Encyclopedia points out, and some of them can cause less-serious medical issues, from urinary tract infections to allergic reactions.
"Microbes are natural and vital members of all aquatic communities, and are the foundation of lake and stream ecology-without them the natural water worlds would not be possible," the encyclopedia explains. "Certain microbes, however, when present in excessive numbers, pose a threat to human health." People can develop bacterial infections if lake water gets into an open cut, pollutants and toxins can cause skin problems, and accidentally ingesting lake water can lead to all sorts of gastrointestinal issues, depending on what's in the water.
To reduce your chances of infection, the CDC recommends:
- Avoiding water-related activities in warm, freshwater areas during hot months when the water levels are low.
- Keeping your head above water, or using nose clips when diving or swimming
- Avoiding digging or stirring up sediment while playing in shallow water

Medication can be prescribed for some patients, but it generally only provides short-term results. The only way to effectively treat aortic stenosis is by aortic valve replacement (AVR) through open-heart surgery or transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).
Open-heart surgery is the most common procedure used to replace the diseased valve. Surgeons insert an artificial valve made of animal or human tissue or a mechanical valve made from synthetic material.
TAVR is an option for high-risk patients who may not be able to tolerate open-heart surgery. TAVR allows surgeons to insert a valve made of biological tissue using a catheter. This non-invasive procedure allows patients to recover and heal faster than patients who undergo open heart surgery.

Re: Stacy D is out- Russians move on
Stacy has a new coach, but I'm not convinced that was a wise move. She's jumping worse than ever. At least she didn't no-height this time, as with world indoor championships. At her age, she may not have another shot. Where are the next generation of vaulters to keep America in the running?
Re: Stacy D is out- Russians move on
Stacy just changed coaches at the worst time. She did this spring in the middle of the season. I think she should be adjusted next year by the Olympics and even better if her takeoff is fixed.
Re: Stacy D is out- Russians move on
See the issue of T&FN that's already in the mail for a long interview with Dragila relative to her coaching situation and what's she trying to do to reinvent her technique. Some very good reading.
She has flown back home to train for 10 days before coming back to Europe to wrap up the rest of the GP season.
If Becker hadn't jumped out of her head yesterday, Dragila probabably medals. She's admittedly not at Feofanova's level at the moment, but she's closer to the top than any other American woman field eventer. Don't be writing her off quite yet.

Think Outside the Booth Show organizers these days are finding that they have to do far more consulting with and selling to potential supporters than they have in the past. "Meeting planners usually don't have a sales background, so this isn't something they're used to doing," says Nancy Frede, president, MarketSense, Framingham, Mass. "But in today's competitive climate, you don't have a choice."
And competitive it is. According to Charles Allen, chairman and CEO of American Exhibition Services in Birmingham, Ala., just a few years ago virtually all trade shows were owned by nonprofit associations; now independent show operators own 40 percent. "My educated guess is that within five years independents will own 60 percent of the shows," he says.
Some show managers are looking to buck the trend by co-locating shows, as Canon Communications LLC did by combining its MD&M West, PLASTEC West, Pacific Design & Manufacturing, Electronics West, and Nutritionals shows into one event in 2002, thus creating perhaps the largest design and manufacturing event in the U.S. "Co-located shows bring higher return-on-investment for exhibitors and attendees because it lets them halve their costs and double their effectiveness," says Allen.
"When times were great and people were slinging money at everything that moved, it was easy for show organizers to say, 'it's my job to get attendees to the show; it's the vendor's job to get them to the booth,'" says Allen. Now that the practical costs of exhibiting have risen to the point that vendors are cutting back on the number of shows they exhibit at, it's up to show producers to "take more responsibility to help exhibitors set measurable goals and help them maximize their ROI for exhibiting at your show. The maximization of not only the retention rates, but also the acquisition rates of attendees and exhibitors are only as good as the value you deliver to them this year."
So don't try to squeeze every dollar possible from vendors to maximize today's bottom line, he warns. "There's always another show organizer who would be glad to serve both your attendee and vendor constituency." Instead, says Frede, make the show worth their while in the here and now. "No one wants to have to spend tons of money on big four-color brochures to lure exhibitors back."
Allen points out some of the things savvy show organizers are providing for their exhibitors these days: lower exhibition costs; more personalization in sponsorship strategies; connectivity to the outside world such as news network monitors in the exhibition to keep attendees on the trade show floor (these also can be sponsored); sponsorship opportunities at multimedia stations offering wireless e-mail and Web connectivity; and more entertainment on and off the show floor. "Keep in mind that it's all about show business," he says.
Speaking of Sponsors…
"Remember when you go out to get sponsors that it's not about getting money. It's about creating a business strategy for people who are giving you the money. Then think about how you can use your meetings, events, and periodicals to create value for those sponsors," says Linda Higgison, founder and CEO of The TCI Companies, Washington, D.C.
"I like to call it partnering, not sponsorship," says Frede. "Each party should gain something from the sponsorship, and it doesn't have to stop after the trade show. You communicate with attendees all year long—why not find ways to extend that communication to your vendor partners?" She does acknowledge that this sticks in the craw of associations who don't want any type of corporate involvement, but these days you have to find a way to balance that belief against budget constraints and come up with an answer that works for your organization.
And throw out the familiar gold, silver, and platinum packages most exhibition managers offer, says Ron Gold, a trade show consultant in Malibu, Calif. "You need to ask exhibitors what they want to accomplish. How can you help get them in front of the people they have the potential to do business with?"
Keep in mind that the exhibitor doesn't have to spend huge amounts of dollars to have a successful program. "If they achieve their goals, they'll be back next year," he says. One small-budget exhibitor Gold worked with just had a 10 x 10-foot booth. He put together a lottery idea that drove people to the exhibitor's booth: The next year, that exhibitor was in a 3,200-square-foot booth. "There's something for everyone. You just need to work with them to find what will fit their needs."

I used to love coming to
Kittichai. in fairness it's now been several years. I won't be back. while the food is still good, the service is now awful across the board - greeting, bar, table. so disinterested. and the place hasn't been maintained at all. banquettes have holes in the fabric, paint is peeling, wood tables are all dinged. yikes, it's sad to seeing a dying beast."
Dined on 4/16/2014
Very pricey infused food not much
close to Thai. Service was good attentive. Food was a bit salty"
Dined on 4/14/2014
We dined here at the suggestion of
a website and had a great time! The decor is simply smashing, I felt I had left Manhattan and was transported to a different country! There was a medium-sized water sculpture with floating candles that added a gorgeous touch! Our food was delicious - especially the lunch prix-fixe. The three courses arrived well prepared and seasoned. My one call-out: we had a baby (15 months old) in our party and the restaurant didn't have a highchair, but did offer a booster seat in which our wait insisted on placing in the booth after we had been seated. (I made mention in the reservation that we had a baby in our party.) Also the women's bathroom did not have diaper chaging facilities; unfortunate."
Dined on 4/13/2014
Normally we eat at the local Thai
hole-in-the-walls, because that's where the great food is. We were a party of four celebrating a birthday, the menu looked interesting and we thought, fine we'll probably overpay for ok Thai food but it looked an atmospheric place with a nice bar - and suitable for the occasion. Imagine our surprise when EVERY dish was amazing. The duck two ways was particularly notable. Washed down with a brace of wonderful cocktails. WE WILL BE BACK."

A very close friend brought her
teenage daughter to NYC to check out the City. Both were impressed, the food and drinks were awesome and even the teen was impressed with the ambience and was snap chatting all her firneds!"
Dined on 4/12/2014
What a beautiful place to dine not
to mention the amazing quuetness of the street! Its like a private area in soho, rare! This was the perfect date spot and we will go back again forvsure. I thought I didnt like Thai food until I had Kittichai."
Dined on 4/12/2014
we were seated 20 minutes before
kitchen closed for brunch. waiter took our order and our food was out within 10 minutes. refilling of our unlimited mimosas and bellinis were fast and attentive."

Group of 7 went for a bday dinner.
Opted for the $55 tasting menu and it was great. Wish service was a little better, such as water refilled but that's a minor thing. Would deff go back."
Dined on 4/12/2014
Though it was quiet, most tables
in the well-decorated dining room were full. Our waitress was pretty uninterested in her job, classic downtown service--never there when you need her. Ordering everything at the same time as she recommended was a mistake; with in about 5 minute of placing our order our first appetizers came out and we were done with all courses in about 30 minutes. I think we can all agree that only happens if your food is not made to order, and though some of the food was better than average, it was clearly premade and warmed up before coming to our table. Don't waste the money on the Duck 2-Ways, the breast would have probably been good when it first came off the grill a few hours before we ordered it."
Dined on 4/11/2014
Thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Food
was great and service was very attentive and friendly. The restaurant is comfortable and the tables are well spaced. It's lively, but not too loud. Everything about the meal was great!"

Great food! Great service.
Reasonable prices. I keep coming back to this place."

Good food, nice private tables,
good service and very tasty food."
Dined on 3/30/2014
This is not your regular
carry-out/delivery Thai. The dishes are diverse and well executed. I tired both the meat, fish, and pork options from the three of us and every dish was excellent. The drinks were really good. Place is a bit pricey but well worth the money."
Dined on 3/28/2014
The decor here is really nice. The
Pork Cheek was the best thing I ate during this trip to New York."
Dined on 3/30/2014
Black bass noodles. Need I write
more? Perfect noodles. Succulent strips of bass. A hint of heat. Chilean sea bass caramelized to just slightly sweet, perfectly cooked. That is Kittichai. A distinct and sophisticated take on Thai. Very good food. As close to 5 stars as 4. Delightful wait staff."
Dined on 3/25/2014
Kittichai has been a top brunch
spot for me for a while, mostly due to the bottomless cocktails ( I recommend mixing the lychee bellini and the blood orange mimosa) and the ambience. And the price is exceptional for such a swanky spot. Enjoy!"
Dined on 3/23/2014
The place has nice decor but the
food is subpar. Nothing fancy or exceptional and is really just for sugary unlimited drinks? I feel the food wasn't good or memorable. Wouldn't come back here"
Dined on 3/23/2014
At least once a year I would take
my wife to river cafe, but this year we decided to change the restaurant. We heard good things about kittichai. Upon arriving the host was very nice, got seated right away late dinner. The waiter took our order, and never returned to see it we needed anything else. About ten different tables were asking for there bill and no servers were,to be found. Even McDonald's had better service. The food was good, thank God. River cafe sorry for cheating on you I will be back in the months to follow ."
Dined on 3/22/2014
We got the prawn cakes and
dumplings. Not much of a fan. But the Thai Steak and Sea Bass. Magnificent!!! I say stay away from appetizers save 30 bucks on bill and go straight for the entrees and side. You will not be dissappointed. Service is great. Very attentive staff. They all work as a team so you can ask anyone a question."
Dined on 3/21/2014
This is my second time dining at
this awesome Thai restaurant. The staff is fantastick very friendly and eager to help, both at the bar and the wait/servers. The food is awesome, probably some of the best Thai food I've had."

The set piece menu is of great
value at $ 55 ! Impeccable service and excellent ambience."
Dined on 3/14/2014
The food is modern Thai and was a
dream. I would say the best Thai I had. Loved it. The only thing it was a bit on the cool side."
Dined on 3/16/2014
kittichai has been around for ages
and the food remains solid. the decor is beautiful, the drinks are great and the food is tasty. it's a little over priced for thai food so definitely worth going for restaurant week!"
Dined on 3/6/2014
I have got to tell you
guys....Kittichai is so beautiful and so special, that I am going to make that my staple restaurant this summer for brunch! The ambiance was so sexy, and it was so luxurious and special for my boyfriend's 30th birthday. I wanted to do something so nice for him, and he was so surprised of how nice this place was. We actually were here during Restaurant Week, and for a few dollars more, you could get a 3 course wine pairing with your meal. I was completely sold. I love the fact that there is a pond in the middle of the restaurant, and that it is just so tranquil, it doesn't seem as if you are in New York, you are being transported to another time. The spare ribs and the lava cake were the OMG moments of the night."
Dined on 3/2/2014
If you're looking for a bottomless
brunch that doesn't get too loud and still allows you to hold a conversation, then Kittichai is it! The food was great. I had the pad thai and asked them to substitute the shrimp with tofu and they had no problem doing so, and the dish was delicious! I've realized many restaurants don't allow substitutions for brunch, so was pleasantly pleased. The lychee bellinis were HEAVENLY! Absolutely phenomenal. Great value, great food, great ambience!"
Dined on 3/8/2014
This place was amazing and had the
greatest portion sizes. I know that sounds a little silly, but it's great to find a good restaurant that you don't get rolled out in a wheel barrel."
Dined on 3/6/2014
It has seen better days...little
worn for wear but still has a nice warm ambiance. Great date night or on a client tab. Restuarant week was a perfect example of its value and it was tasty. Good wine pairing choices and you were able to talk. Many places pump up the music to mask the food and get you on drinks- not here."
Dined on 3/5/2014
Return visit to Kittichai and once
again fabulous. The atmosphere is very zen-like, a little noisy due to the wood walls and ceiling but the orchids and pool more than compensate for any background noise. The tuna tartare was beautifully presented and the chili vinaigrette was a perfect complement. The meat fell off the ribs and the glaze was so good you wanted to lick your fingers - which was totally unnecessary because the waiter brought hot towels after our appetizer. We were full after our entrees but managed to share an incredible panna cotta - even the coffee was excellent! This was a perfectly prepared meal with Thai flavor influences, impeccable, non obtrusive service and a great atmosphere. At reasonable prices!!"
Dined on 2/27/2014
This place did not disappoint on
any level - the food was amazing, the service was amazing, the vibe of the place was amazing. I will definitely be going back!"
Dined on 2/28/2014
I visited for restaurant week -
great vibe, delicious food & super efficient service."
Dined on 3/4/2014
We got the 4 course tasting menu
with wine pairings and were very pleased with both food and wine. We especially liked the waiter suggesting the best order in which to eat the dishes. The only complaint that I would have is that the service felt a bit rushed. We were given our first course and wine before our cocktails arrived! The second course followed quickly after that. This was not an inexpensive meal and I would have preferred a more moderate pace. After that, we asked our waitress to slow things down (which she did) and we had more of an opportunity to enjoy our food and wine. The tasting menus was terrific. We were both pleased with the opportunity to taste so many items (each course had several components)."
Dined on 3/1/2014
Had dinner here for restaurant
week with a dear friend and we looked forward to a cool experience. Since it was a pre fixe it was all inclusive w app, entree & dessert. That's how they get you to pay $20 for an entree that would normally be less. I ordered the braised pork cheek dish and it wasn't even presented on a plate, but on two side dishes. We ordered separately from the pre fixe - the rotti which never came out. My dish was pretty dry and not juicy enough to be considered braised. For the ambience of the restaurant to be so nice, I was surprised at how "blah" the service AND was food were. Thank god for good company."
Dined on 2/23/2014
I thought Papaya salad we had on
3/2 Brunch was too salty and sour."
Dined on 3/2/2014
Amazing first date! Food was
fantastic, ambiance warm and comfortable, noise level perfect for first date conversation without having to yell or speak loudly. Staff was all friendly and attentive. Order the 4 or 5 course sampler for two. You won't regret it."
Dined on 3/1/2014
Great food, amazing cocktails,
service was excellent, ambiance was outstanding."
Dined on 2/20/2014
Great menu for Restaurant week and
lovely presentation! The environment of the entire restaurant is a great date night location. The serving sizes for dinner were perfect and very filling unlike some of the other restaurants I have been to for Restaurant week."
Dined on 2/26/2014
The food was good but not
transformative. I had heard so many good things about this restaurant that I was hoping for a great experience but found that I could get the same quality of food in my east village neighborhood for half the price. I think people mostly go for the scene."
Dined on 3/1/2014
This place is amazing. Normally I
don't frequent classy joints like this one (wallet size limitations) but since they had restaurant week specials, my friends and I made a Friday night reservation and headed on down. The food was DELICIOUS. I had the ribs for appetizer, hangar steak for entree and lava cake for dessert. Mmmm, not a bad choice among those 3. Also had a bite or two of everyone else's choices (we like to share) and everything was excellent. Service was also great, ambiance of the restaurant was super classy, and I also saw some very intimate booths that would be perfect for a date ;) I'll definitely be back (after my wallet has stretched a bit)!!!!!!"
Dined on 2/28/2014
The crispy branzino and hot and
sour soup both tasted strange. Hanger steak was extremely salty. Veggie fried rice was the only dish we enjoyed without complaints. Service was good, waitress was nice. First round of utensils were sticky and they were quick to change them for us. Ambience was nice, but don't think I would go back soon."
Dined on 2/26/2014
What can I say, there's a pond! I
really enjoy the look of the place. Very earth tone, it makes you feel calm and well rested. The Lego movie song "everything is awesome" describes my experience there. I can't wait to go back ^_^"

Firefighters outside the firehouse for the centennial.
The members of Engine 73 and Ladder 42 celebrated their firehouse centennials on Sept. 10 in the Bronx.
"Today we celebrate the work Firefighters have performed here for a century – the lives and property saved and the neighborhood and families you've protected," Fire Commissioner Salvatore Cassano said. "A firehouse is so important to a community; it's a symbol of strength and hope."
The ceremony also included the dedication of four plaques honoring members who have died in the line of duty, including Lt. Robert Davison (1951), Firefighter Henry Holster (1927), Firefighter Nathan Levine (1947) and Firefighter Patrick O'Keefe (1943).
The family of the firehouse members killed on Sept. 11, 2001, also were honored during the event, including Lt. Brian Ahern, Lt. Raymond Murphy and Firefighter Peter Bielfeld.
The centennial plaques are blessed.
"The common denominator over the last 100 years is service," Chief of Department Edward Kilduff said. "Every day you're running out the door asking, 'how can we help?'"
Lt. Joseph Berry, who served in the firehouse for 18 years before retiring in 2002, added, "I've had the pleasure and honor of learning so much from the members of this firehouse."
FDNY Chaplain Father Mychal Judge, who was killed on Sept. 11, 2001, gave his legendary final homily in the firehouse on Sept. 10, 2001, at the rededication of the house after a major renovation.
During the ceremony, many speakers harkened back to his impactful words:
None of us will be able to visualize or realize what the world will be like a hundred years from now. A hundred years from now, they won't know who the mayor was today, or who the commissioner was, or who the Chief of Department was…but the spirit, the life and the sacrifice of those men and woman will be remembered. And though they are gone, their names will live on in this Department forever.

Should my task manager be showing TWO adobe flash players running when I play facebook games? Only ONE browser is open and only ONE game is being played. Thanks for help on confirming this so I can be sure I don't have two going at same time.
[topic moved to Flash Player forum]
the reply was only that my question got moved.. with no link to 'where'. I only linked This page so now I'm lost as to how to view any answers.
Please supply link or give answer to my question even if it seems dumb to you. Thanks
It was moved to the Flash Player forum; the link should have appeared in the forum notification email message.
Here is your topic: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1047382
Since you mention Task Manager I assume that you are on Windows. What are the processes showing in TM?
I'm new to the forum so I didn't realize. Thank you for letting me know.
The two processes are:
FlashPlayerPlugin_11_3_300_270.exe *32
Both are exactly the same except for memory usage
There were also Two of these:
plugin-container.exe *32 (descript is Plugin container for firefox)
But I ended one of the container's and it never returned so hopefully I'm good there now.
The reason why the two concerned me was.. I had also recently updated Java.
Can't remember 'which' (java or flash) but one had taken me to a page that told me if I had applications (like firefox) running in both 32 & 64 bit I would need them both. My fear was... though I got both, something went wrong and one was running when it shouldn't be.
So I tried uninstalling and doing it again but the double entry for FlashPlayerPlugin was still there.
Hence why I was asking for confirmation if this was normal or not.
Thanks for any help and sorry I was such a newb on my first post.
If you are on a 64-bit system, Flash Player will automatically install both 32-bit and 64-bit players.
AboutJava (JRE), you need to manually install both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
Regarding FlashPlayerPlugin_11_3_300_270.exe - I actually do not know what that is... On my system I have something 'FlashUtil32_11_3_300_270_Plugin.exe', but it is not actively running.
Thank you for responding. I 'assume' then the one i was previously referring to was in fact the Java then as I did have to manually install both.
I checked my plugins again for Firefox. Niether the shockwave or flash actually said 'adobe'. So I tried uninstalling Adobe again... went through the add/remove programs and didn't see another one. So I went and reinstalled Adobe Flash.
I think now that what I was seeing was the 'shockwave' and it's just a different version. So even if I wasn't seeing the name 'adobe' on either of the add ons in Mozilla I figure they were still Adobe.
Either way, fresh install now and still have the double entry in TM, same as before.
But I no longer see the shockwave add on in plugins for Mozilla Firefox.
I'm just clueless. I probably would pay no attention except for I'm a facebook game player and since the update.. my game loads slower. So I would like to figure out if it's me (my computer set up) or if it's just the new update.
Going to bed.. any advice, suggestions on things to try etc... would be appreciated.
Here is another suggestion for tomorrow...
Do a clean install, as per the instructions in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/928315, then download the offline installers from http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-pr oblems-flash-player-windows.html#main-pars_header and save them to disk. Close all browser windows, then run the downloaded installers.
P.S. the Flash Player browser add-on is called Shockwave Flash.
You are on Windows 7 64-bit?
This is expected. You should see two Flash Player processes running in the task manager. This is how Protected Mode in Firefox works. One process is the broker, which is really small and is basically used to pass messages back and forth to the low-integrity Flash Player process. The low-integrity process doesn't have permission to do much, but does all of the heavy lifting in terms of processing the content you see on the web. If malicious content is able to crash and take control of the Flash Player process, it can't really do anything with it, because it's running with low permissions.

Chris. That makes sense. I hadn't thought of the connection with Protected Mode. I appreciate the confirmation that this is in fact 'normal'. Thanks so much for responding.
Pat. Yes win7 & 64bit. Thank you as well for all your help. I'm going to try your suggestion, even though the double process has been explained, because I am still getting slower load times for the games. It's what started me with checking for all these updates. lol
So one process of elimination down.. many to go. lol
I went through the process from Pat's advice. Still no faster at downloading my games
I can only assume that within Chris' explanation lies the key to why I'm suddenly so slow with downloading textures in a game.
I do not recall setting it onto "Protected Mode". So that's my next test. Do either of you happen to know how to change that setting in Mozilla? Or should I move on from this forum and try to bleed out some help from Mozilla? lol
Either way, thanks again.

Product Description
New for 2013! Axe is about to turn good players into elite players with the new Axe Elite BBCOR baseball bat! Featuring a two-piece hybrid design, the barrel of the Axe Elite BBCOR was constructed using LP2 Scandium Alloy. Created from a combination of elements to deliver performance and durability under one-sided hitting conditions, the elongated LP2 Alloy barrel features a HUGE sweet spot for maximum performance! The Axe Elite BBCOR has also been fortified with the new Engineered Hitting Zone that reinforces the hitting side of the barrel and has the durability to stand up to one-sided hitting. But the thing that makes the Axe Elite stand out is the handle. Made from a lightweight composite material, the Axe handle helps players generate extra bat speed for ultimate power! Refined this year with improved ergonomics that deliver better performance and comfort, the Axe handle looks exactly like what it sounds like - the handle of an axe. It defies conventional thinking, but the Axe handle fits perfectly in your hands, pushing the bat to your fingertips where it's supposed to be. The Axe handle's oval shape establishes a single swing plane for consistent performance and maximum power, swing after swing. Axe is so confident that you'll love this bat, that they are offering a 30 day, no questions asked, money-back guarantee. If the Axe handle isn't for you, simply send it back. What do you have to lose? Axe: Unleash Your Swing! The Axe Elite is BBCOR Certified and legal for high school and collegiate play. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!
For a limited time, purchase the L130A and you'll receive a FREE Maple Composite Wood BBCOR bat from Axe (a $99.99 value)! The length on the FREE wood bat will be the same as the L130A you purchased, except for 31" purchases which will receive a 32" wood bat.
