Delta Moves Again to Grow in New York, Boosts London Access
"This announcement is primarily about New York, and about helping Delta to increase its utility to the business traveler," said Henry Harteveldt, analyst for New York-based travel consultant Hudson Crossing. "But it's not all about New York. Once Delta and Virgin get everything put together, Delta can put its brand on Virgin Atlantic flights out of Boston, Miami, Los Angeles and the other cities, all strategically important markets for Delta, either because they are hubs for Skyteam, as LAX is, or because they are dominated by other alliances like Oneworld in Miami and Star in San Francisco."
At Miami International, for instance, it is tough for Delta to establish a presence, Harteveldt said, because it already serves every major Florida city through Atlanta. But having Virgin Atlantic fill much of its airplane at its London hub means Delta would be able to provide a non-stop London flight to its passengers who originate in South Florida. In Los Angeles, meanwhile, Delta already has a presence, but it has lacked non-stop London service. "This will make Delta that much more competitive," Harteveldt said.
In December, Delta announced it had purchased 49% of Virgin Atlantic from Singapore Airlines. On a conference call with reporters on Monday, Bastian said Delta has long had an interest in Virgin Atlantic. Asked why it took years to put a deal together, he responded, "As between us and Singapore, (negotiations over) the value of the shares is what led to the length of the negotiations."
Speaking at the March investor conference, Bastian said Delta's New York buildup is feeding revenue gains. He said Delta has gained over seven points of corporate market share in New York over the past three years, leading to a margin gain of more than 300 basis points in New York. "We're still in the building phase," he said.
The carrier has boosted its capacity at LaGuardia Airport by 45% over the past year, a result of an asset trade with US Airways. (LCC). But access to Heathrow remained "our single biggest challenge in corporate customer negotiations" in New York, Bastian said. According to statistics compiled by Delta, Kennedy/Heathrow is the No. 1 U.S. international route, accounting for 2.7 million passengers a year. It dwarfs every other international route. No. 2 is Los Angeles/Heathrow, accounting for 1.4 million passengers. The next three routes, with 1.2 million passengers annually, are Chicago/Heathrow, New York/Paris and Newark/Heathrow. The Virgin deal adds capacity in three of those four.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

'Victims of injustice' in post-revolution Egypt speak outBy Catriona Davies, for CNNUpdated 1452 GMT (2252 HKT) February 17, 2012 6 photosStories from 'Back to the Square' – Freed Egyptian blogger Maikel Nabil at a press conference after his release from prison. His brother's campaign to free him is featured in the film "Back to the Square."Hide Caption 1 of 6 6 photosMark Nabil, 19, campaigning for the release of his brother Maikel in the film "Back to the Square." Hide Caption 2 of 6 6 photosWally Hosni, 15, who works at the Pyramids giving horse rides to tourists, was thrust into the revolution when he was persuaded to join a group of men riding horses and camels into Tahrir Square on the infamous Day of the Camel. He was almost killed as a result. His story is used in the film to illustrate the manipulation of the poor by those in power, says director Petr Lom.Hide Caption 3 of 6 6 photosMohamed Sayyd, 47, is an ex-convict. He was let out of prison during the revolution and told to go into Tahrir Square to battle protesters. Sayyd gives the film an insight into the system of fear that keeps people doing the state's bidding, says Lom.Hide Caption 4 of 6 6 photosSalwa Hosseiny, 20, is from a small village in the Nile Delta. While protesting in Tahrir Square, Salwa, and 20 other young women were arrested, tortured, and forced to undergo public virginity tests.Hide Caption 5 of 6 6 photosUniversity student Lamiz Ragib, 21, says she was arrested together with her husband by plain clothes police, sexually harassed, and bullied to testify against her husband, who was detained on a trumped up drugs and possessions of weapons charge. Lamiz succeeds in getting her husband released with the help of a Cairo Human Rights Center.Hide Caption 6 of 6Story highlightsMaikel Nabil was jailed by military tribunal for criticizing Egyptian army in a blog postHe was freed to celebrate the first anniversary of revolution and in time for release of film about his caseNabil is one of five stories of injustice featured in the film "Back to the Square"Other stories include convict asked to fight revolutionaries and a girl subjected to "virginity test"After 302 days behind bars -- and 130 days on hunger strike -- Maikel Nabil is savoring his freedom and his food. Nabil, 26, was jailed after being convicted by an Egyptian military tribunal in March last year for writing a blog post and Facebook comments criticizing the country's military rulers who took over from ousted president Hosni Mubarak.He was released on January 24, one of 1,900 prisoners pardoned by Marshall Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, the head of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, before the first anniversary of the start of Egypt's revolution.By chance, Nabil was also released in time for the premiere of "Back to the Square," a film about life in post-Mubarak Egypt, featuring Nabil's brother Mark campaigning for his release."Back to the Square," by director Petr Lom, premiered at the Rotterdam International Film Festival on January 29 and will be the opening film at the One World International Human Rights Documentary Film Festival in Prague, Czech Republic in March.Nabil's ordeal was one of five stories in the film, which also followed a 15-year-old boy who was almost killed in Tahrir Square on the Day of the Camel during the revolution, when pro-Mubarak supporters on horses and camels clashed with pro-democracy demonstrators.Also featured: An ex-convict who says he was forced to fight protesters in Tahrir Square; a female protester who was subjected to a virginity test; and a woman who says she was arrested and told to testify against her husband."As I collected stories it was clearer and clearer that there was a continuing injustice and lack of human rights that seemed to be the most urgent thing to be tackled," Lom said. "Up until the end of last summer, most of the coverage suggested the country had already transformed, but it seemed to be that hadn't really happened."He said all the characters he filmed were victims of injustice in post-revolutionary Egypt. More from Inside the Middle East: Women and the Arab uprisings: 8 'agents of change' to follow"The film has a theme of the loss of innocence, young people growing up and seeing reality and how it corresponds to their young dreams," Lom said. In a telephone interview, shortly after his release, Nabil said, "I want my voice to be heard and I'm happy that is happening. However, I can't say I'm pleased to be released because I shouldn't have been jailed from the beginning. I haven't done anything wrong, I haven't committed any crimes, I have just written my opinions."He added: "The army should be tried for its human rights violations, not me. I can be called back to prison at any time, so I'm not really free. They have the material to send me back to jail.But I will continue to speak out. I'm still shouting very loudly."A government spokesman denied Nabil's accusations of ill-treatment and said the blogger was suffering from disorientation as a result of his solitary confinement. The government has also repeatedly denied allegations of human rights abuses.Nabil went on hunger strike while in jail to protest his trial by military tribunal, which he described as a piece of "theater" in which he was unable to defend himself.He was able to sustain his hunger strike for 130 days by drinking water, milk and juice some days. Some days he had nothing at all.Overall, he had nothing to eat or drink on 10 days, 39 days he had only water, and 81 days of drinking milk and juice, Nabil said."I used hunger strike as a tool of nonviolent struggle to protest against my trial by military tribunal. "It was my first experience of hunger strike and I was discovering my body and its ability to resist hunger. The hunger strike was effective because it showed people that I was ready to die for my freedom," Nabil said."People inside and outside of Egypt took interest in my safety and my life."People who refused to defend me changed their mind after my hunger strike."I became very, very sick, and suffered from problems with my heart and liver."Nabil ended the hunger strike on December 31, several weeks before learning he was to be released. "I ended the hunger strike because of the number of letters I received from activists all over the world. They asked me to stay alive for them to keep my knowledge to fight. These people loved me and wanted me to stay alive. "The other reason I stopped was because I felt the new parliament in Egypt could make a change."Egypt's lower house of parliament took over legislative power on January 23 after elections late last year, with 70% of seats taken by Islamist parties. Elections for the upper house of parliament, the Shura Council, will be completed next month. Presidential elections are set for June.More from Inside the Middle East: Egypt one year on: How the revolution has changed our livesNabil continued to write nearly 80 articles while in prison and smuggled them out with friends, who published them on the internet.Nabil said he learned of his pardon from news reports three days before his release."I didn't believe it or trust that it would happen until I was at home with my family and friends," he said.Petr Lom visited Nabil a month after his arrest while filming "Back to the Square," although he was unable to film in the prison."It sent shivers down my spine to meet such an extraordinarily courageous young fellow," Lom said. "He didn't mind being in prison for standing up for what's right."Lom spent several months filming Nabil's brother Mark as he campaigned to raise awareness and support for his release.Mark Nabil traveled to Rotterdam with Lom for the premiere of the film. He told the The Daily Star, Lebanon: "Maikel was against the way the army was taking over the revolution. He knew that nothing would change if the army took over." A month after ending his hunger strike, Nabil said he is fully recovered and has regained the weight he lost.Inside the Middle EastTheme park dreamsRobot dinosaurs, Lego men and Spider-Man all could become Dubai's newest residents.Getting over the humpNot long ago camel milk was an unfancied staple, the preserve of Bedouin herders.

On January 3, 1961, nuclear reactor SL-1 exploded in rural Idaho, spreading radioactive contamination over thousands of acres and killing three men: John Byrnes, Richard McKinley, and Richard Legg. The Army blamed "human error" and a sordid love triangle. Though it has been overshadowed by the accident at Three Mile Island, SL-1 is the only fatal nuclear reactor incident in American history, and it holds serious lessons for a nation poised to embrace nuclear energy… (more)

GENEVA, Wisc. — Fifty-two-year old Steven Zelich appeared in court on Thursday.
He's charged with two counts of hiding a corpse.
The bodies of 21-year-old Jenny Gamez and 37-year-old Laura Simonson were found in a suitcase, along a highway in the town of Geneva on June 5.
"Upon arriving to the crime scene I met with Officer Anderson. He showed me two suitcases that were laying on the side of the road.//What was inside?//Deceased people," said Detective Jeffrey Recknagel, Walworth County Sheriff's Office.
Zelich has not been charged in the deaths of the women.
Walworth County authorities are handing over those cases to officials in Rochester, Minnesota and the city of Kenosha, where the deaths are believed to have occurred.

Instead of saying things like "I don't know who a$ton Matthews is" why don't you be a more professional web press rep. and actually do a bit of research to possibly inform us more of a new artist. You know there's actually talent out there that EVERYBODY doesn't know yet... This "they've had to had made a name for themselves to b worthy of a post" ideology is fucking up opportunity for new artists to gain exposure
I don't know who dude is either...but ^word

The recent announcement of the Nikon D610 leaves many D600 owners feeling duped and unimportant. What will Nikon do to remedy the situation?
Nikon announces the D610, a modestly updated version of the D600 with very few upgrades. Which begs the question--why?
Nikon's new 1 camera has features of a rugged camera with the versatility of an ILC. But will it make a big enough splash in the mirrorless market?
Love the P7700, but miss using a viewfinder? Nikon listened and created the P7800 for photographers who can't live without one.
I have to say I am a bit surprised the S01 made it past the first generation. The newest version is now available as the S02.
The new Nikon LD-1000 LED movie light provides constant lighting in a super compact form.
New to the Nikon product lineup is the SB300 flash, the 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6 lens and the Coolpix L620 camera.
The Nikon Coolpix A recently arrived for us to review. Check out this article for some full-res sample images.
Have some great images taken with your Nikon gear? If so, head over to My Nikon World on Facebook and join the fun. It's not just for professionals.
Nikon has announced the 1 NIKKOR 32mm f/1.2 lens, the latest in the 1 NIKKOR line.
Camera companies take note: there is a gap in the camera marketplace and we know how to fill it. It's time to create the ProMini-DSLR.
Two new point-and-shoots hit the market. Nikon promises great low-light, pocketable performance with these models.

"Women Hold Up Half the Sky" Except in HIV/AIDS policy, care, prevention and funding!
There is an old Chinese proverb that says, "Women hold up half the sky". In 2014, I'd add, "Except in HIV/AIDS policy, prevention, strategies and care." Women are not, as many people like to say, the "new face of AIDS". For over 32 years, women, especially black women and Latinas, have been infected with the [...]

Up next -Marcos Ambrose Marcos Ambrose- Down with winning! Last August the man from down under after years of late race heartbreak found himself in victory lane at the conclusion of a Sprint Cup road course event. Marcos heads into his fourth season in the Sprint Cup Series with one goal in mind " Win on an oval" Marcos desperately wants to rid himself of the reputation road course ringer. Even though Marcos is coming off a career year, he is faced with the tall task of trying to repeat those same numbers from 2011. It will be even more difficult considering for the 2nd consecutive season RPM has undergone some major wholesale changes. Marcos will have a new teammate when the green flag drops in Daytona in February. RPM looked to be an organization on the rise after both Marcos and former driver of the 43 car A.J. Allmendinger both posted career years. Although Marcos has showed flashes of brilliance on oval tracks with both RPM,and JTG racing. I don't think 2012 will be the year he breaks through with an oval win. Good luck Marcos I'll be rooting for you! The skinny Forecast for 2012 Wins- No- Sorry Marcos not even on the road courses this year. Top 5's- Yes Top 10's- Yes Poles- Yes Will make the chase -No Projected points finish- 21st

Theatre review: Poor Thing puts the ugly Singaporean in the spotlight
Just as one might Google a future colleague or a potential romantic partner before a date, there is a certain voyeuristic thrill that comes with "friending" a character from Poor Thing on Facebook prior to the show, which unfolds in The Necessary Stage's Black Box theatre amid the skeletons of two partially dismantled cars.
The play makes heavy use of social media, and we are given a glimpse into that selective way a character might curate his public life, poking around his likes and dislikes and what he reveals, unwittingly, about his personality through status updates or photographs.
The character in question is the unemployed Jerome (Dwayne Lau), on his way back to army camp while on reservist, ferried there by his best friend Sharifah (Siti Khalijah) in her brother's car.
They rear-end a fancy BMW after its driver Jevon (Joshua Lim) brakes abruptly at a stop sign while distracted by his wife Alisha (Sharda Harrison), who seems to have had a little too much to drink at a company dinner and dance.

The UCLA Bruins football program represents the University of California, Los Angeles in college football as members of the Pacific-12 Conference at the NCAA Division I FBS level. The Bruins have enjoyed several periods of success in their history, having been ranked in the top ten of the AP Poll at least once in every decade since the poll began in the 1930s. Their first major period of success came in the 1950s, under head coach Henry Russell Sanders. Sanders led the Bruins to the Coaches' Poll national championship in 1954, three conference championships, and an overall record of 66–19–1 in nine years. In the 1980s and 1990s, during the tenure of Terry Donahue, the Bruins compiled a 151–74–8 record, including 13 bowl games and an NCAA record eight straight bowl wins. The program has produced 28 first round picks in the NFL Draft, 30 consensus All-Americans, and multiple major award winners, including Heisman winner Gary Beban. The UCLA Bruins' main rivals are the USC Trojans. Jim L. Mora assumed duties as the 17th head football coach for the 2012 season.[2]
The Bruins are the Pacific-12 Conference South Division Champions for two years in a row and played in both the 2011 and 2012 Pacific-12 Football Championship Games.

The Rose Bowl is a National Historic Landmark located in Pasadena, California with an official capacity of 92,542. It has been the home football field for the UCLA Bruins since the 1982 season. The Bruins had played their home games at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum after joining the Pacific Coast Conference in 1928. The Coliseum is also the home of the rival USC Trojans. As the Coliseum is located across the street from the USC campus, Bruin officials long sought to move out from under the Trojans' shadow. An on-campus facility was discussed, but UCLA's location is not conducive to adequate traffic flow, and the campus lacks room for sufficient parking. There was an attempt to build a 44,000 seat stadium on campus, at the site where Drake Stadium eventually was built. However, the proposal was blocked by influential area residents, as well as other politicians.[4][5] In addition, the Coliseum already was constructed by and is a facility of the State of California. When the Oakland Raiders became the Los Angeles Raiders, in 1982, and after arduous negotiations with the city of Pasadena, UCLA decided to move out of the Coliseum, relocating its home games to the Rose Bowl Stadium.[6] UCLA has participated in five Rose Bowl games since moving to the stadium, including the 1983 Rose Bowl at the end of the Bruins' first season there. From 1919 to 1927, the Bruins (then known as the Cubs) used Moore Field at the Vermont Ave. campus of the "Southern Branch of the University of California."[7]
Training room, weight room, football facilities, and locker rooms are all located in the Acosta Athletic Complex, just west of Pauley Pavilion.
The on campus practice facility for the football team is Spaulding Field, which has two football fields, one grass and one artificial turf, or synthetic turf.
The UCLA athletic colors are "True Blue" and gold. The "True Blue" is a slightly darker shade than the previous powder blue worn by teams.[8]
In the early days of the school, UCLA had the same colors as the California Golden Bears: Yale Blue and California Gold.[9] Blue symbolized the ocean, while gold represented the state of California, known as the "Golden State".[10]
When football coach Red Sanders came to UCLA for the 1949 season he redesigned the football uniforms. The Yale Blue was changed to a lighter shade of blue. Sanders figured that the baby blue would look better on the field and in film. He would dub the baby blue uniform "Powderkeg blue", powder blue with an explosive kick.[10][11] For the 1954 season, Sanders added the now familiar loop on the shoulders, the UCLA Stripe, to give an impression of motion.[12] The away uniforms became white, with a navy blue and gold shoulder stripe and gold pants. The helmets became gold.
At times, beginning with the 1954 football season, the font for the numbers on the uniforms has been Clarendon typeface. Otherwise it has been block numerals.[12] In the 1980s the uniform pants became yellow to look better in color publications, the jerseys a lighter blue, and the UCLA script was added to the helmets. In the 1990s, the uniform pants became gold again.
In 2003, the True Blue colors were adopted.[8] The away uniforms got true blue shoulder stripes and numbers in 2006,[13] but were replaced by navy blue again in 2010.[14]
In 2009, the Bruins wore a 1967 throwback uniform against Washington and USC, though against USC the team's normal helmet was worn.
Bowl gamesMain article: List of UCLA Bruins bowl games UCLA has played in 31 bowl games in its history, compiling a record of 15–16–1. From 1946 to 1974, no team could participate in the Rose Bowl two years in a row. This is why the 1954 team, which won the conference, did not participate in the 1955 Rose Bowl.

Customer Reviews

I have ordered these prawns recently, I am usually not a fan of prawns, especially the already cooked ones, but these ones were gorgeous and mine didn't have any water in them. I fried them with a bit of olive oil, butter, garlic and onions, and they cooked beautifully, then added some chicken gravy stock and white wine and a bit of lemon, and they are now a favourite at the dinner table. They are very meaty and not chewy like other prawns I've had.

best supermarket prawns
I feel I've been spoilt with these prawns! They were on special offer for awhile and I always had a couple of packs in the freezer. If I could afford the full price I would carry on buying as the taste is superior.

Shipyard contract will end "boom and bust" cycle for workers, says Minister of Public Works.
© Jacob Boon
Jim Irving stands by Justice Minister Peter MacKay, Minister of State Candice Bergen and Minister of Public Works and Government Services Diane Finley (far right).
Over the next two years, Irving will invest $300 million to modernize its Halifax Shipyard in preparation for its federal shipbuilding contract.
That was the announcement today, Aug. 21, at Aerotech Business Park by J.D. Irving CEO Jim Irving. Also speaking were federal Minister of Public Works Diane Finley, Justice Minister Peter MacKay and Premier Darrell Dexter.
"We made the decision to build these ships right here at home and create over 15,000 jobs across the country," said Finley, "and infuse $2 billion in annual economic benefits to Canada over the next 30 years."
Minister Finley added that the new shipyards would put an end to the "boom and bust" cycle of shipbuilding that has caused routine layoffs.
The industry appear to be in the midst of the "bust" half of the cycle, as Irving laid off 39 workers from its shipyard on Aug. 16. More layoffs are expected by the end of September, as renovations to the shipyard ramp up.
Premier Dexter assured the crowd at today's announcement that despite the layoffs, the shipbuilding contract is still a win for the province.
"What would happen if we didn't have this contract? These other shipbuilding contracts would still come to an end. People would still face the same kind of uncertainty," Dexter said.
"Instead of having to wait through cycle after cycle after cycle, they know there's going to be a long term future for them, in front of them. This is a very good news story."
Irving was awarded the $25 billion federal contract in October 2011 to build 21 combat vessels for the navy. On top of that, the company received a $260 million loan from the provincial government to help with the shipyard upgrades.
According to Irving, $127.7 million in contracts for the renovations have already been awarded to suppliers and subcontractors. A total investment of $300 million is expected by 2015. The company also says 733 full-time equivalent positions have been created through the contracts.
"To all our vendors, just one word, we're counting on you," Jim Irving told the crowd. "We're on the move, you're all part of the team. Let's get this job done."
Irving says 53 per cent of the contracts' value has been awarded to companies owned or operating in Nova Scotia.
Those include Dexter Construction, Ellis Don, CleanEarth Technologies, Black & MacDonald, Conquest Engineering, Atlantic Cat and Vector Demolition, among others.
The new Halifax shipyard site will include a new assembly hall, a dedicated paint area, and several other upgrades. An off-site steel fabrication facility will be created on Windmill Road in Dartmouth, employing 20 workers "at peak."
A new parking garage at the shipyard, able to accommodate 520 cars, will be completed by January of 2014.
The first steel for the new Arctic patrol vessels is expected to be cut in 2015, with the first ship completed by 2018.

Making buildings in foamboard. Miniature building construction in foamboard by Emmanuel Nouaillier Emmanuel Nouaillier shows how to scratch build and age miniature structures. This is will introduce my personal approach and techniques for scratch building and ageing buildings, pertaining to the typical northern French urban landscape of the 1940s and early 50s. I believe that a proper rendition of textures and adequate weathering of the different elements is important when making a miniature scene, where the optimal development of each small detail of a diorama becomes more a necessity to modellers who want to show, with utmost realism, models that are better detailed and weathered I will explain stage by stage in future articles how to create peculiar materials and elements and how to give the models 'life' while employing generic methods.

Dalglish pays respect to Gary Speed
Kenny Dalglish has commented on the news of the death of Wales manager Gary Speed.
"It's come as a shock to myself and everybody that's involved in football," said the Liverpool boss. "He was a smashing lad and really well respected. We don't know the circumstances obviously, but there will be a lot of people in football disappointed and saddened by what's happened.
"The most important people at this moment in time is his wife and kids. They must be absolutely devastated. Football comes a wee bit irrelevant when something like this happens. He was a very well respected man in and around football, not only for his ability but for the guy as a person."

Maui Tanning
Dedicated to the art of bodily bronzing, Maui Tanning's affable staff helps patrons attain a healthy glow via treatments of UV and UV-free tanning. Staffers usher pallid guests into a fleet of well-maintained beds and booths that envelop bodies in UV rays, or bring them before a steady-handed technician who employs a compressor and airbrush to paint epidermises in an even golden patina of ultraviolet-less mist. Though the shop specializes is in tanning, guest wellness is also a priority, with sweat- and detoxification-inducing infrared-sauna sessions as well as LED-light-therapy sessions, whose effulgent beams help erase signs of aging such as wrinkles and the impulse to discuss home refinancing. To further bolster their warm and bright atmosphere, Maui Tanning's interiors evoke a resort getaway with island furnishings, murals, and tropical plants.

Anton Ferdinand has revealed he turned down a lucrative move to Dnipro in favour of a switch to Queens Park Rangers.
The 26-year-old joined ambitious QPR on transfer deadline after Sunderland decided to offload the defender.
Ferdinand admits the offer from Ukraine was more lucrative than QPR's, but he insists the move to Dnipro did not excite him.
"The offer from Ukraine came in first and it didn't excite me - I'm not someone who goes somewhere because the money was right," Ferdinand told The Times.
"I'm all about my football and if you do well in football, the money comes to you."

Based on article and his strong kicking a stray thought for someone with time to research: HOW MANY PLAYER-GAMES HAVE WE LOST TO INJURIES OCCURRING ON KICKOFFS? (out of how many kick offs versus how many touchbacks). Not that I in any way thing Grammatica is better than A.V.; but if he can consistently put a kickoff into the End Zone (deep) and force the other team to take a touchback; will he actually be an improvement in the ENTIRE TEAM because we dont lose key guys to injury?
From this article, it sounds like he's kicking 50yd field goals consistantly and that he's got his confidence back after corrective surgery. All good things, he'll have the opportunity to fight it out with rooks in camp. Nice find for Pats.
Thanks, good read. I'll say it again, I think this is a very good signing. i'm surprised at how negative the reaction is from many around here.
It's a great signing. If he can get back to where he was, he's as good as our previous kicker (in different ways). If he can't, we cut him and move on. Great no risk shot.
EXACTLY! His real name is Mudd, greedy b@st@rd! On this, the seventh day of April two-thousand and six, his name has been stricken from the books of the Metal Gods! He may only be referred to as Mudd from this day forth! You will pay for your insolence and breech of loyalty, oh, God-forsaken "Mudd"! (Even though I picked him to beat us in OT on a FG when the Colts visit in November!) ADPF
It really would be a total steal if he turned back into the kicker he was with the Bucs And of course, Belichick has a strong track record of ressurecting careers. Harrison, Dillon, Washington, Fauria all came here with question marks, and all ended up getting at least one ring, if not more! Grammatica next in line? BTW, was he the kicker on the Bucs Super Bowl winner? ADPF PS: OT - Note his resemblance to the Flinstones "Gazoo" in the link below... http://espn.go.com/page2/s/looking/archive.html

What is a "Rain Check?" Did you know that our daily activities can have an impact on water quality, especially when it rains? This site provides information about stormwater pollution and tips on how we can work together to ensure the health of our natural waters. Check out our video, brochures, and other resources below for more information!
Read More
According to the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD), the quality of Georgia's natural waters is threatened by the daily activities of people and businesses. Thousands of miles of waterways throughout Georgia are impacted by stormwater runoff, which can carry harmful pollutants. In fact, the leading threat to our water quality in Georgia is stormwater pollution. One of the most effective ways to combat the adverse effects of runoff is by educating our residents and visitors on their impacts and preventative actions we can all take.
Some things we all can do as part of a Rain Check include:
Georgia DOT was issued a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) Permit in January 2012 by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD). The MS4 Permit provides guidelines for agencies to prevent excessive stormwater discharges, dumping, spills, erosion and pollutants from contaminating nearby waterways. The MS4 permit program regulates the discharge of stormwater from Georgia DOT roadways and properties designated by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division as "MS4 Permitted Areas." To see if you are within an MS4 Permitted Area, click on the storm drain photo to the right to see a map showing all counties within the MS4 program highlighted in yellow.
While the Department is already taking broad measures to prevent pollution from entering our streams, rivers and lakes, there is still much that we can do together to help keep our water clean. This page and the link below will tell you more about the actions we are taking to mitigate stormwater pollution. The MS4 permit activities are an integral part of Georgia DOT's commitment to be a good environmental steward. View our press release on the MS4 program accomplishments thus far.
As people learn more about the effects of stormwater runoff and how it impacts the quality of our streams, rivers, and lakes, they can take positive actions to help reduce negative effects. Even simple changes can have far-reaching results that benefit Georgia residents, businesses, ecosystems, and wildlife.
Georgia DOT has been working to detect and reduce the pollution that enters our natural waters. In accordance with the MS4 permit, our stormwater management program focuses on the following measures in an effort to reduce stormwater pollution:
These measures were designed to educate and inform the public on stormwater pollution and the impact it has on our ecosystems, as well as to reduce runoff pollution from Georgia DOT properties and construction sites. Although Georgia DOT has always strived to be a good steward of Georgia's environment and natural resources, we have stepped up our efforts to further enhance our stormwater management and water quality protection measures.
Georgia DOT is currently rewriting our entire Drainage Manual to incorporate new technologies for best management practices that are designed to reduce stormwater pollution. In addition, we are implementing new stormwater training courses for our employees and contractors, so that they are all informed of the most current and effective methods for reducing stormwater pollution. While Georgia DOT is already taking broad measures to prevent pollution from entering our streams, rivers, and lakes, there is still much that we can do together to help keep our water clean. The video, brochure and other resources on this page will tell you more about the actions we are taking to prevent stormwater pollution and how you can support this effort.
Georgia DOT is committed to training its employees and contractors on good construction site practices and municipal operations that minimize impacts of stormwater runoff from Georgia DOT properties or rights-of-ways, including what to do in the event of a spill or other actions that may result in unintended impacts on our water bodies. We are also educating the general public on how everyone can help to minimize pollution due to stormwater runoff. Please check out the following resources:

These are some of my other interests, and I've noted a good number of the people on Defensive Carry have the similar interests and many have a lot of experience.
Since neither of these topics really fit within the Defensive Carry theme, I would be willing to host these topics on my forum. I have already discussed this with Bumper and have his permission to recruit some folks from Defensive Carry.
My reasoning for doing this rather than just joining some other forums is that here, I know many of the names and have come to respect the opinions I've seen. I have observed good judgment and the ability to instruct others. These are the kind of people I want to learn from.
So my question is two part, first to the folks that have experience with either topic, would you be willing to share your knowledge with us on the new forum.
Secondly, are there people from here that would benefit or participate in either topic? I have little or no dog training knowledge and a lot of questions. I'm a little better with photography but still have a long way to go. I'm guessing I'm not the only one.
Please let me know if you have any interest.

NaruHina: Blush- Chapter 1
Sakura, Hinata and Ino were called in to Lady tsunades office.
Lady Tsunade: I have a mission for you three.
The three girls looked around.
Sakura: Excuse me, Tsunade-sama but is it only going to be us?
Lady Tsunade: Im sorry but every one else is out on a mission
But I do have two other girls. I bet you haven't met them yet!
Sakura: Tsunade-sama..?
Lady Tsunade: Enter!
Two girls walks in through the brown door.
One of the girls have long blond hair and the other one have short red hair.
Lady Tsunade: Welcome girls!
I want you to meet Sakura, Hinata and Ino.
Sakura looked at the new team members with a confused look and then turned to Lady Tsunade
Sakura: Only
.girls? And besides, we don't know anything about the other girls jutsus.
Lady Tsunade: You got more members to the team and now you're complaining about no males in your team?
I told you, everyone else is on a mission. That's why I had to assign two random girls.
I know it's a little bit stupid that you don't know anything about them but I'll have no other choice.
Although, I have one male left that isn't assigned to a mission but Im not so sure that I want to send him with you. Especially not when captain Yamato isn't here.
The girl with the short red hair starts to whisper in the other girls ear.
" She's like really over protecting that boy she's talking about. She must be his mother or something since she doesn't want to leave him without some sort of body guard."
The two girls started to laugh but soon enough, they saw that everyone was staring so they quit.
Lady Tsunade sighed out loud.
Lady Tsunade: I guess I have no other choice
Okay its decided! I assign him to your team!
Ino: Sorry Tsunade- sama but who?
Lady Tsunade: Naruto Uzumaki of course!
Alright! Its settled. You guys go ahead and pack your things. Remember to take necessary things to camp with you.
And since you wanted an extra guy, you all will have to go and get him yourself.
All the girls were about to leave when Tsunade threw out some more words out of her mouth.
Lady Tsunade: Sakura, I want you to hold Naruto in a short leash just in case something would happen. And I want all of you to look after Naruto so he doesn't do anything reckless!
All the girls quietly leave the building. When they come out, the new girls decide to introduce themselves.
It appeared that the shorthaired girls name was Aru and that the shorthaired girl was named Miriu.
They also talked about what their jutsus was and such.
Sakura: Okay since im the team leader, I'll give the orders.
First we'll go home and pack our things and then we meet back here when we're done.
I'll tell you what we should do next when we meet up here later okay?
The other girls agrees and hurries away to pack their things.
A half hour later, they all met where they had scattered.
Hinata: What are we going to do now Sakura-san?
Sakura: Well we need to inform Naruto about this
I guess we have no other choice but to go and get him.
Follow me!
They followed Sakura to Naruto's apartment. When they got there, Sakura turned to face Aru and Miriu
Sakura: First of all Aru and Miriu, I would just like to say that Naruto is
a real knucklehead.
So don't get "hurt" by his stupid words. He doesn't mean it
Aru: hah yeah I bet he is. And that hokage of yours is she like his mother or something? She treats him like a baby. Its probably because he cant do anything by himself
Aru had a bitchy tone in her voice.
Sakura formed her hand into a fist and squeezed it real hard
Ino laid a hand on Sakura's shoulder and quietly told her that it was a waste of time.
Ino started to knock on the door as she called out Naruto's name.
Naruto did of course not open.
Both Ino and Sakura were now knocking violently on the door.
Ino: Okay I think he's sleeping
Miriu: You mean dead right? If he was sleeping, he would be awake for a long time ago.
Sakura: Naruto is seriously deaf when he sleeps
We'll have no other choice but to break in.
Sakura takes a deep breath and kicks the door opend.
All the girls slowly walk into the apartment.
There's dirty clothes and half eaten food on the floor.
Then they see a bed with a boy on it.
As they get closer they see that he has both his arms at different ends and legs apart. Almost like a star.
All the girls have now surrounded the bed, watching Naruto sleep.
Aru: So this is
Naruto Uzumaki, huh?
Naruto starts to move his head back and forth as he mumbles something.
Hinata: I think Naruto-kun is having a nightmare..
Sakura: should we wake him up?
Ino: No wait I just want to see what happens
All of the girls start to giggle a little bit since they all were a bit curious.
Naruto: Sas
im not letting Orochimaru take you
no matter if I
if I have to BREAK EVERY BONE IN YOUR BODY!
The girls were a bit afraid but then they found it kind of cute that he screamed while he was sleeping.
Naruto started to growl. Louder and louder.
The girls seemed confused.
Naruto was now growling really loud and his fangs started to grow.
Sakura: Oh shit!
Sakura quickly grabbed Naruto's shoulders.
Naruto suddenly went up to a sitting position facing all the girls who seemed really scared.
Naruto's eyes were red and he had long fangs and more whiskers that usual.
He was growling.
After a minute he saw where he was and he realised that some girls were surrounding him.
He took a good stare at them. They all looked like they've seen a ghost or something.
Sakura: Naruto calm down
Sakura had tears in her eyes and her voice wasn't very stable.
She slowly patted Naruto on his back.
Naruto put his head down, facing the bed that he lied in.
Naruto slowly raised his head again, facing the confused looking girls.
The girls expected the worst but
His eyes were sea blue and had three whiskers at each side of his face and his teeth were back to normal.
The girls didn't look so upset anymore.
*awkward silence*
Naruto: sooooo
*Naruto scratched the back of his head*
What are you guys doing here?
And who are they?
Naruto pointed straight at Aru and Miriu.
Aru and Miriu bitch looked at Naruto because they thought he just was a real big noob, using weird jutsu's while he's asleep.
Because it was a jutsu
Naruto: Fine don't say anything
Sakura: Naruto we're going on a mission and you're going with us.
Naruto looked around in confusion.
Naruto: Am I the only male??
Hinata: Yes N-Naruto-kun. The other males already are on missions. You're the only one that doesn't have a mission.
Aru: wonder why
Naruto: Hey! Naruto stood up and his blanket fell to the ground.
Naruto now realised that he had no shirt and got embarrassed.
All the girls stared.
Naruto noticed that the girls eye sight slided down to his seal mark.
Quickly, he grabbed a shirt and covered it and scratched his head.
Naruto: heh..hehe so uhm should we start the mission?
All girls shook their heads from the "distraction"
Naruto: You guys can go to the port, I'll have to pack some things and I'll have to change.
But I'll see you there.
Sakura: Of course..!
The girls left the apartment and walked to the port.
Miriu: Hey, Aru? What do you think that mark on his belly was?
Aru: I don't know but he sure is weird.

"Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky" concerns a love affair between two irresistible forces who have never met an immovable object before. The composer Igor Stravinsky and the designer Coco Chanel, defining influences on 20th century taste, consummated their attraction some seven years after they first met, perhaps because each had become so autonomous that the challenge became irresistible.
If you've seen "Coco Before Chanel" (2009), and I hope you have, this unrelated production takes up Chanel's story after World War I and soon after the death of her young lover, Boy. But it begins with a scene so necessary that the romance might not make much sense without it: the historic 1913 opening night in Paris of Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring," with Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. The angular, hard-edged music and the bluntly discordant choreography combined to horrify the bourgeois audience, who booed, hooted, walked out and cast Stravinsky into a depression.
We see Chanel (Anna Mouglalis) in closeup as she watches the performance, but would be hard pressed to know exactly what she thinks. Chanel didn't wear her heart on her sleeve and indeed barely wears her face on her face. But after the Great War, they meet again in Paris. Now Stravinsky (Mads Mikkelsen), made penniless by the Russian Revolution, is in exile with wife Katarina (Elena Morozova) and their four children. Chanel invites them to be her guests at her villa, and even at that moment, their affair is a foregone conclusion.
Stravinsky and Chanel are cool customers. There are times when their meetings seem to be wordless displays of will. They are impressed with themselves, and of course they have much to be impressed about: Neither has ever doubted or questioned their own creative genius, and the world was even then validating their judgments. Although their sex is fervent and urgent, one could not quite call it passionate; they are like artists observing their own performances from the wings.
The human element in this story, crucial, is introduced by the wife Katarina. In their arrogance, Igor and Coco barely bother to conceal their behavior, and she knows full well what is happening. She also knows, as they all probably do, that this is not true love and will not last. In the meantime, she has a home and food for her children, and her husband cannot yet produce those on his own. She is not without pride, and once asks Coco, not with anger, if she isn't shamed by what she is doing. "No," Coco replies, and that answer somehow reflects her dress designs, which are bold, crisp, clean, stark, arrogant, and resisting color and the flesh.
Katarina knows her husband and almost certainly understands him better than he does himself. She also understands his music and can discuss it with him, an ability there's no evidence that Coco shares. This results in a household ménage, which is largely an exercise in Katarina's passivity in the fact of their selfishness. Then there is always the presence of the four children, a biological fact that trumps Chanel.
Stravinsky and Chanel were great creators and influences. Between the two biopics, I gather little evidence that Chanel was a nice woman. I have sympathy for her childhood as an orphan who raised herself with her sister, but her hard start seems to have inspired feelings more of revenge than of pity. Certainly she has no problem in mistreating her employees.
The film is elegant to look at. The fashions are almost inevitably are flawless and chic. The performances are well-modulated to project exactly what the director, Jan Kounen, wants to say about these two people. He depends on performance because neither is given to self-analysis or revelation, and most of their meetings are in some way negotiations. As for Katarina, well, what can she do? She stays out of love for her children and out of undoubted respect for her husband's genius.
There is a story about the time the publisher Bennett Cerf went to visit James and Nora Joyce in Paris. "You are married to a great man," he told Nora, who replied: "You don't have to live with the bloody fool."

As stretch run begins, Rangers put away thoughts of last season's late collapse
OAKLAND, California — Jason Frasor is in his 10th year in the big leagues and has never felt this before. The season is usually dragging at this point as he's been stuck on teams out of the pennant chase.
September for noncontenders, Frasor said, has a different feel to it. Players are more out for themselves than the team. They are looking to pad their stats to boost their free-agent value or maybe trying to lock down a job for next season.

Like all of Levine's novels, the story is set in present-day Miami. The two main characters are attorneys. Formerly husband and wife, they are the parents of a twenty-year-old daughter and an eighteen-year-old, very messy divorce. Each parent accuses the other of illegal behavior. Each attempts to have the other disbarred. The ex-husband enlists the aid of his best friend, a powerful member of the Florida Bar; the ex-wife counters by secretly taping a meeting with the ex-husband at a posh Miami hotel, a meeting during which he allegedly tries to extort a settlement agreement from her. The plot is peppered with threats and insults, a string of nasty lawsuits, contentious court proceedings, allegations of corruption, irate judges, and special investigations. Instead of allowing the divorce to terminate their relationship, they continue to pit themselves against each other, wielding their knowledge of the law like a club.
Tragic in tone and outcome - their battle never really ends - such a book has all the makings of a best seller. The only question: Is Paul Levine ready to write his autobiography?
In his first novel, Levine wrote that the Dade courthouse is a place where buzzards endlessly circle, "some on wings and some in Porsches." In the real-life realm of those vultures, on the eighth floor, to be exact, Judge Peter Capua has before him a lawsuit filed by Levine's ex-wife, Brenda Feinberg. She is suing Levine's best friend, Stuart Grossman, a highly regarded medical malpractice attorney and one of only 50 lawyers who sit on the governing board that oversees more than 37,000 attorneys in the State of Florida. Feinberg alleges that Grossman abused his power as a member of the Florida Bar Board of Governors by threatening to end her career with possible disbarment, while Levine pressured her to drop her claims for increased child support for their daughter Wendy.
While Capua decides the merit of Feinberg's lawsuit, another, related chapter in the story is unfolding in the state capital, where both Levine and Grossman are under investigation by the Florida Bar for making allegedly frivolous complaints against Feinberg. The special investigator is also examining statements Levine made in 1989 in which he told Feinberg that he and Grossman had control over the pending investigation.
A bar complaint is a serious matter, and defending oneself against one is expensive and time-consuming. If substantiated, a complaint can lead to various penalties, including suspension from the practice of law or complete disbarment. During her first eighteen months as an attorney, Brenda Feinberg was the subject of three bar complaints: one initiated jointly by Levine and Grossman, one by Levine independently, and one by Levine's former attorney, Albert Caruana. After Feinberg hired attorney Steven Abramowitz, Levine leveled a complaint against him, as well.
All of the bar complaints were eventually dismissed.
"That Paul has done this to me and sent me through these hurdles is unconscionable," Feinberg says. "And I think it is unconscionable for someone in Stuart's position. They really tried to take away my ability to care for my children, which is to strip me of my license. I think they really got a thrill out of it. They really would like to see me down and out."
Levine contends that his ex-wife is nothing more than a bitter and obsessed woman who is using the legal system to extract personal revenge. If the controversy stems from a debate about who should pay for their daughter's college education, he says there is no controversy - he's paying $19,000 per year for her to attend Northwestern University. The only reason Feinberg is suing Stuart Grossman, Levine claims, is because she knows it will attract media attention that will embarrass both him and Grossman. "What this lawsuit is, is star fucking," says Levine. "It's trying to get in the limelight, trying to manipulate the news media."
Besides her pending lawsuit against Grossman, in the past two years, Feinberg has also sued Levine and Levine's parents for fraud. She's lodged her own complaints to the bar association about Grossman's and Levine's conduct. She's threatened to file a bar complaint against Levine's attorney, and she's sued one of her own former attorneys, Andy Lienoff, for malpractice.
"I don't know who's harassing who," says Albert Caruana, who bowed out as Levine's attorney two years ago. "All I know is that what should have been a very straightforward litigation [over child support] has resulted in all these ancillary proceedings."
