Sunday Ticket Question
So as we all know the season starts this sunday :banana: :jammin: :chicken:, and I know directv here in Panama may be different than in America, but I just want to know how much you guys pay for the sunday ticket package, cause here we are 6 day till the start of the season and they have not given a price.
This is my first year with directv and I'm spending a lot of my saved money on this, so I don't want to pay it all at once before knowing the price of the package. Thanks :tt02: |
Re: Sunday Ticket Question
I think I paid $229.
I'm on auto renew, so its $20 cheaper the the early bird offer. |
Re: Sunday Ticket Question
did you check the DirectTV site? They've got a lot of info about the various packages and pricing.
http://www.directv.com:80/DTVAPP/glo...assetId=900044 |
Re: Sunday Ticket Question
I think if you just got directv there are incentive packages that they give you, once you agree to purchase nfl ticket they knock a big chunk out of your regular bill for the first 6 months. |
Re: Sunday Ticket Question
Anyways they just had a special on if you ordered ST you get super fan free, you might mention that to them. And if they ask you if you received an e-mail for it just say YES I DID. And bingo. :sofunny: |
Re: Sunday Ticket Question
Agreed about never paying list price to DirecTV for anything - if they will not give you "SuperFan" (aka the SundayTicket HD package) for free you can talk them into giving you some sort of "customer loyalty" rebate to cover the HD package cost if you are not a new subscriber.
Re: Sunday Ticket Question
I also wound up paying $229 for this season, the returning customer rate.
Which is $20 more than last year.......for fewer games !!! Because NFLN is broadcasting a handful of games that could have been on Sunday Ticket. I just hope I can get my money's worth this time, because last year I had to go out of town to work from Mid October thru February and got almost no use from ST at all !! In addition to the $209, I wound up spending about $30 bucks each Sunday at Bailey's in Richmond VA. But at least I got to watch with the Central VA Browns Backers !! Did you know that the WorldWide Browns Backers are the largest fan organization on earth ?? ........now you do !! http://190.photobucket.com/albums/z1...ownshelmet.gif |
Re: Sunday Ticket Question
Re: Sunday Ticket Question
I know a lot of you have heard me complain about this before... but I have to TIVO every Sunday, then hope it was done right when I get home! |

Sorry for all the trouble you've been through. I'll try to help you out with some that you haven't already resolved yourself. In regards to the peaks motor coming out, all dynam planes do not have props balanced from the factory. We found out that if the props are not balanced, the vibration can cause the motor to basically be ripped out of the body. We're adding a warning to the site addressing this. I apologize for the inconvenience. In regards to your fw190, please PM me your order number and/or name and zip code and I'll see what I can do to help you out. |

I just ordered from NitroPlanes for the first time. Im from canada, and the shipping was not that bad at all, for a big box like that 37$ . I ordered the Dynam Peaks, arrived in not even 2 weeks. I did not assemble the plane, but took the parts out of the box and i gotta say its well packed. Nothing broken or loose. I will update my post when ill build the plane. UPDATE : Builded the Peaks, and i have to say : WOW!!! what an easy build. Everything was easy to assemble. I maiden the Peaks the other day, with a 4S 2200 mAh lipo. Plug-in, check CG (was perf), and, gun her up to the sky. she goes verticaly no Prob at all. Couple of clicks on elevator, and 1 click for ailerons. She is flying straight and true. After the first battery (about 6 minutes, very soft flying, had some mAh left...) i landed her. Very slow landing. Successfull maiden. Put my second 2200 4S in her, then wanted to make her do more acrobatic stunts... The second fly was even better... Was able to hover a little bit, knifeEdge.... after a 6min fly, no more throttle, since i emptyed the pack doing more stunts... flew her in and landing was a success. Flew her the next 2 days in a row, both battery again, and wow... Its my favorite plane FOR SURE!!! Ill film soon, since i got a new cellphone that does 1080p recording, so. ill update again with a video. Thank you NitroPlanes!!!! Btw, i got the deal when the White version was at 99$... so for 137$, got a complete setup minus TX/RX and batts... What can you ask more? hehheheh I like NitroPlane, and i introduced one of my friend to flying RC and he ordered a RTF Cub, and he is very pleased with the plane. Again, fast shipping to canada to him, and arrived without any issue. I still need to verify his bird before Maiden. UPDATE : We maiden (well I did ) and flew very nicely... I dont like the way the linkage for the ailerons are setup... very hard to control the throw and make the ailerons straight.... anyway, good plane for the money, but thats pretty much it... Nothing to say bad about nitroplanes.com. Great site, great price. Thank you NitroPlanes. Greetings from Canada Quick question : Is there any Thread for the Build of the Dynam Peaks 42" here on RCgroups? UPDATE : Thanks you Sooby22. Awsome video |

Who is Sir?
I've never met such an ambitious person who is just as eager and willing to assist, motivate, and encourage others while on his own path to success. You understand the big picture and have a genuine desire to contribute to the greater good. People like you are a rare find in the entertainment industry. You're fearless in everything I've seen you do and you still have a desire to be better and take criticism. You will go far my friend. I am grateful to know you. Thanks for all the encouragement :)
You inspire me because you have never stopped fighting for your dreams! Through all types of struggles and set backs you have keep moving and motivating others. I met you over ten years ago and you are still grinding, sweating, bleeding and keeping the dream alive!
You inspire me because you represent the struggle. You have shown me that I don't need all the money and riches to succeed and pursue a dream and make it come into existence. I love your determination as well as your humbleness because not too many men are willing to ask for assistance when needed. You're personality leaves a lasting impression and your smile reminds me that there is something to be happy about. I also appreciate how you draw yourself into people in depth. I remember the first time I met you and you asked me what my story was. You also are a reminder to other young black men that although they are minorities there is still hope no mateer what statistics say Sir. Thanks for that!!

Jordan, an oasis of stability compared with many of its neighbors, is still a dictatorship, one in which al Qaeda sympathizers are kept under control only by the apparatus of a police state. And despite being flooded with billions of dollars in U.S. aid, even ostensible American allies such as Egypt, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia remain both brutally repressive and hotbeds for Islamic fascism. So how is merely dumping more money on these governments going to change anything?
Alas, that would be a question for another day. Dean's aides swooped in -- he was late for his appearance at Nerve.
Follow that car! Dean and his entourage piled into a silver sedan -- no limousine liberals here -- and sped off while Kulchur and a photographer weaved through traffic after them. Dean was en route to his 6:30 p.m. speech at Nerve, a recently opened Beach nightclub hosting a fete in his honor. The event's organizers had been hoping for a turnout similar to the packed frenzy that greeted Janet Reno's Level appearance during her gubernatorial run last year. And by scheduling his appearance to coincide with "Sperm" -- a new early-evening tea dance hosted by Jeffrey Sanker -- Dean's people had been predicting a standing-room-only throng of 300 gay partiers, antiwar folks, and local pols all cheering their man on.
Unfortunately, while the association of Sanker's name is usually enough to fill a club, the shirtless masses were curiously absent at Nerve. Only about two dozen people wandered about, hollering into each other's ears amid the thumping house music and flashing lights, trading explanations for the empty club. What was to blame: Poor publicity? A lack of local liberals? "Nobody on South Beach knows where Vermont is," cracked Dean volunteer Lorenzo Lebrija.
Kulchur walked out to the street just as Dean's car zipped past and several campaign workers shouted out in recognition. But as the minutes ticked by, the candidate himself was still missing in action. Back inside, one of Dean's staffers ominously pointed out Kulchur to a volunteer, who then asked Kulchur to leave: "This event is closed to the media."
It was an odd turnabout. Moreover there was no action here to be ejected from. Kulchur refused to leave without an explanation, which soon produced an even stranger announcement. Owing to a "scheduling problem," Dean would not be able to speak -- he was making a dash for the airport. One woman angrily demanded her money back as campaign staffers broke the news to the remaining stragglers.
Were Dean's staffers worried about losing face if such a meager display of support were reported? "He could have at least come in for five minutes, just to speak with people personally," remarked Kate Bono, a 26-year-old Miami social psychologist and disappointed Dean booster. Danny, a drag queen roused from bed specifically for the occasion by Nerve co-owner Rudolf Pieper (at the ungodly hour of 6:00 p.m., no less), was even less forgiving. Raising a cross eyebrow beneath his blond wig, he snapped, "For this I put on my heels?"
Perhaps sensing some looming bad press, just ten minutes later, Dean was on his cell phone with Kulchur, ready to answer a few more questions -- though whether he was being chauffeured to his flight or relaxing at the Biltmore Hotel with the rest of his staff was unclear.
"We do low-end fundraisers all the time," Dean said, dismissing any thoughts of disappointment over the lackluster crowd at Nerve. He was more interested in discussing campaign strategy. "Half of [Ralph] Nader's votes will go to me," he predicted, a significant pool of support overlooked by many. Bob Graham as his vice-prez? "He would definitely be on the short list." Getting his message out with limited funds? "Be very clear."
On that note, Kulchur circled back to one of the centerpieces of Dean's public persona -- his courageous endorsement of gay "civil unions." In Sanker's living room he stressed that as president he'd ensure federal benefits flowed to gay couples in states that passed "civil union" laws similar to Vermont's. But he wouldn't enact a federal "civil union" law. The more Kulchur mulled it over, the bigger the loophole seemed to grow.
"I'm not anxious to have more federal intrusion," Dean explained, launching into a defense of states' rights that eerily recalled Southern segregationist governors during the Sixties. But what if some governors, citing the wishes of their constituents, ignored President Dean and simply refused to pass "civil union" laws for gays? "We'll deal with that then," he said testily. "I don't have a plan."
You'll deal with that then? Aren't you the candidate who doesn't stick to safe answers?
"You're now beginning to tick me off," Dean bristled before returning to his measured argument against "too much federal power." Kulchur pressed on over Dean's protests, invoking the image of Alabama Gov. George Wallace embracing the mantle of states' rights as he literally blocked a university doorway to bar a black student's entry, stepping aside only after President Kennedy called in troops. If a president is unwilling to use federal power to enforce civil rights -- for blacks or gays -- how are things ever going to change? "Look, you go ask any of the other candidates for president if they support civil unions!" Dean shouted angrily.

A Look at the Buffer-Overflow Hack
The best system administrator is not always enough to take care of site security. Sometimes a nice program such as mount can be exploited by a user to gain a higher system permission or remote access to an unauthorized location on the World Wide Web.
This article explains the logic behind a popular hack to exploit a program's code so it executes different code then was intended. This hack is known as the buffer-overflow hack and can be used to exploit a program with suid set to gain better permissions on a Linux machine—sometimes even root or remote access. (The examples are taken from "aleph-one" with his permission and have been somewhat modified by me.)
First, let's have a look at Figure 1 and see how a process organizes its virtual memory. The TEXT area is where the actual code of the program resides. The DATA area is where the initialized and uninitialized data of the program resides.
The STACK area is a dynamic area which becomes bigger as data is pushed into it and smaller as data is popped from it. It is called a stack because it works in the LIFO way (last in, first out). The stack is used to hold temporary data for the process and helps the processor in its implementation of high-level functional programming. To understand exactly how the processor makes use of the stack, look at the following example:
void func(int a, int b) { /* This function does nothing */ } main() { int num1; int num2; func(num1,num2); printf("This is the next instruction after " . "the function ..."); }
The instructions of the main function are executed until the processor needs to "break" the normal flow of the program and go to the func instructions. When this step of "jumping" to func is executed, the parameters to func, num1 and num2 are transferred with the help of the stack. That is, they are pushed to the stack, and func can pop them from the stack and use them. Immediately after pushing these values on the stack, main should push the address to which func will return on completion. (In our example, this is the address of the printf instruction.) When func is finished, it knows to read this return address from the stack and go back to the "normal" flow of the program.
One other value on the stack is called a frame-pointer, since the processor refers to values on the stack by their offset from the stack pointer (SP). Whenever the SP value changes, the processor saves the current value on the stack. (The Intel does not have a dedicated frame pointer (FP), so it does it with the help of the ebp register.) The frame pointer is pushed to the stack following the return address.
To clarify this, let's look at another example:
void func(int a, int b) { int *p; } main() { int num; num = 0; func(num); num = 1; printf("num is now %d \n",num); }
Let's compile it with the -S option to get assembly output using this gcc command:
gcc -S -o ex2.S ex2.cWe see that main's code is actually:
main: pushl %ebp movl %esp,%ebp /* Save the SP before changing * its value */ subl $4,%esp /* SP should subtract 4 so it * points to num on the stack */ movl $0,-4(%ebp) /* Push num on the stack with * value 0*/ pushl $2 /* Push 2 on the stack*/ pushl $1 /* Push 1 on the stack*/ call func /* Push return address on the * stack and jump to the first * instruction of func*/ ...The main code pushes the arguments for func, then calls it. The call instruction puts the return address on the stack, then moves on to the func code. func puts the four-byte frame pointer immediately following the return address, then pushes the p pointer onto the stack. Thus, if we dump the stack's status now, we get the structure shown in Figure 2.
We can use func to print the addresses of a and b in a hexadecimal format; to do this, we simply add printf instructions:
void func(int a, int b) { int *p; printf("The address of a on the stack is %x\n", &a); printf("The address of b on the stack is %x\n", &b); }
When we run the modified program, we get the following output:
The address of a on the stack is bffff7ac The address of b on the stack is bffff7b0Integer b is four bytes from integer a. Looking at Figure 2, we see that integer b is followed by the four-byte frame pointer, then the four-byte return address.
We can look at the return address using the disassemble option of gdb. (See Listing 1.) The call instruction in <main+17> is at address 0x80484b1, which means the next instruction in 0x80484b6 is the return address. As we just calculated, when this address is pushed on the stack, it is offset eight bytes from b and 12 bytes from a.
Since the stack is writable, we can use the pointer to the return address, then change its value. By doing so, we manipulate the normal flow of the program so we can, for example, skip some instructions. In Listing 2, we have changed the return address so our program skips an instruction. Compile and execute:
gcc -o ex4 ex4.c ex4
This output is returned:
The return address is 80484d2 The new return address is 80484dc Num is now 0In the Listing 2 code, we point to the address of integer b with the help of a pointer p, then subtract eight bytes down from p so it points at the return address printed in the first output line. Next, we add ten bytes to the return address, so it skips the num=1; assembly code. (disassemble main shows the exact offset of the instructions, so I used it to know how many bytes to skip.)
In this way, a programmer can regulate the normal flow of his program from within. The big question is, can someone change this return address from the outside? The answer is sometimes. Not only can this address be changed, but it can also be changed to point to code not within the program.
Listing 3 is a very simple program that can be exploited from the outside. On first execution, the output looks like this:
bash# ex5 Please enter your input string: short This is the next instruction
On second execution, the output is:
bash# ex5 Please enter your input string: long string This is the next instruction Segmentation fault (core dumped)Since strcpy does not check the length of the string it copies, we inserted the 12-byte string long string\n to a buffer which is eight bytes long. The first eight characters from my input completely filled the buffer, then the remaining four characters overflowed the buffer. That is, these four characters overwrote the adjacent address in the buffer --the return address. Thus, when func tried to go back to main, a segmentation fault occurred, since the return address contained the four-character string ing\n, most likely an illegal memory address.
The strcpy function is the classical example for buffer overflow since it does not check the copied string size to ensure it is within the buffer limits. Note strcpy is not the only way to exploit a program with a buffer-overflow hack.
The actual buffer-overflow hack works like this:
Find code with overflow potential.
Put the code to be executed in the buffer, i.e., on the stack.
Point the return address to the same code you have just put on the stack.
Since this is not the Linux "hack.HOWTO", I will not go into details on these three stages.
The first stage is very easy, especially in a Linux system, since a huge amount of open-source code applications are available for Linux. Some of these applications are in use on almost every Linux system. Good examples of such programs were mount and some early versions of innd. mount did not check the length of the command-line arguments the user entered and its permissions set to 4555. innd did not check all of the news message headers, so by sending a specific header, a user could get a remote shell on the server.
The second stage has two parts. The first one is to find how to represent the code to be executed; this can be done using a simple disassembler. The second part depends on where the program reads the buffer: in some cases, a mail header; in others, an environment variable whose length goes unchecked; in still others, some alternate means.
The third stage is not so simple, as one cannot know the exact address of the code to be executed. Basically, it is done by guessing the address until the correct address is found. Several ways can be used to make this guessing more efficient; thus, after only a few guesses, we can specify the right address and the code gets executed.
Do you have any idea for solution at scan parameter of PHP code.
Thank you.
What to do.
Nice article, but what to do with the buffer overflow created?
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its notable return on equity, attractive valuation levels, good cash flow from operations, solid stock price performance and compelling growth in net income. Although no company is perfect, currently we do not see any significant weaknesses which are likely to detract from the generally positive outlook."- You can view the full analysis from the report here: DAL Ratings Report

I can't be the only mom out there who feels like it's a war. Screen time vs chores. The wii vs reading aloud. Math vs Facebook. The almost constant battle of cajoling and timer-setting. we can't seem to break the repetitive cycle of the situation escalating to banshee screams {mine} and eventual restrictions because cats or chickens didn't get fed before another round of Call of Duty had to be finished.
I want my family time back, not the baintrain intent on a TV as their main source of entertainment and communication. I don't believe the best way to spend my mothering time is acting as a mediator of turns and games and shows. I want our home and family to grow and be transformed, not stagnate in a brackish backwater habit that is not working for us. I want out conversation to be about Here.
This practice will certainly be a taxing challenge for me too. No more getting my work done while they are occupied in front of a screen. So what? It promises rewards and dividends too great to be overlooked: Peace. Quiet. No more refereeing ridiculous arguments about virtual games.
Time to use all our other forms of entertainment, you know, the old fashioned kind: reading, cards, board games, and more lego and imagination. Time to relate and chat and hopefully grow and reboot as a family. Time to enjoy our last full month of summer and squeeze every last drop from the cup of outdoor fun. Time to adjust to the school/homework groove, which begins on the twentieth.
We're two days in. It's not something they would have chosen to practice (and they've been very vocal about that fact), but we are having more fun and less fights. Mexicanjupingbain actually asked me if I'd listen to him read a book this afternoon. And at the end of our raucous card game of War last night limabain exclaimed, "That was really fun!"
It was music to my battle weary ears...
What about you? Have you ever gone screen free as a family or considered it??

1. Western Frontier
The fifth edition of the Winter Classic will be played on Monday in Philadelphia, where the longterm forecast calls for temperatures in the 40s and a 30 percent chance of rain. While marketing gurus like to paint a picture of hockey ringing in the new year with a snowy spectacle, there is a chance that for the second straight year, the showcase game will be affected by warmer precipitation falling from the sky.With the NHL proving in Pittsburgh at the 2011 Winter Classic that hockey can be played with a bit of rain, the bigger question is whether the risen mercury in the Northeast might pave the way for a Winter Classic in a place where snow is unlikely in the first place.California, here we come? Hockey has been played outdoors in an even unlikelier locale. In 1991, the New York Rangers and Los Angeles Kings played a preseason game in Las Vegas, on a rink set up in the Caesars Palace parking lot."You think about that game, the ice was definitely an issue, and there were some concerns, but that was 20 years ago," Adam Graves, who played in that game, told Sporting News. "You'd have to think that technology would have the ability to pull something like that off. Playing outside, whether it's 30-below or 40-above, it's fantastic. I'm 100 percent honest—that game was the middle of September, but the whole idea of playing outdoors, and it was at night where you could see all the stars, it was an experience I'll never forget."The dream locations for a Winter Classic in California would be the Rose Bowl in Pasadena and AT&T Park in San Francisco. Both, though, have the same holdup that has prevented a Yankee Stadium Winter Classic—college football. The Rose Bowl obviously hosts its eponymous game, while the San Francisco Giants' baseball home is the site of the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl.The best option for the Winter Classic on the West Coast, then, might be the Los Angeles Coliseum, which has been the venue for just about every other sport imaginable. Outdoor hockey in California still appears a ways off, though, as the early buzz for the 2013 Winter Classic is a Midwestern affair at a college football stadium. -
2. Capital punishment
When the Washington Capitals fired coach Bruce Boudreau last month and replaced him with Dale Hunter, it marked the fifth time that veteran forward Mike Knuble had experienced an in-season coaching change.Only one of the previous four times in Knuble's career did the new coach guide his team to the playoffs; when Mike O'Connell took over for Robbie Ftorek with nine games left in the Boston Bruins' 2002-03 season. While the Capitals were 12-9-1 for Boudreau, and in eighth place in the Eastern Conference, a 5-6-1 record under Hunter has landed Washington in the No. 11 spot.There is time for the Capitals to adjust, but it is clear that the coaching change has not paid the immediate dividends that Washington was hoping to reap."You're still playing the game of hockey," Knuble told Sporting News. "You just change a couple of habits and tendencies. You've got another coach who does things a certain way, has a certain style. Dale is much more conservative. He's big on plays at the blue line, making sure you chip them out, chip them in, play kind of conservatively. A great game for us, with him, is 3-2, 2-1, and be on the winning side of it."In 12 games under Hunter, the Capitals have won by one of those scores exactly once—a 3-2 overtime triumph over the Ottawa Senators on December 3. There also was a 1-0 win at Winnipeg on December 15. Still, there has been a defensive improvement: after allowing 3.32 goals per game under Boudreau, the Capitals have surrendered 2.67 per contest with Hunter behind the bench.The problem is that, as explosive as the Capitals' offense remains capable of being, the goals do not come at regular intervals. That is especially the case for Alex Ovechkin, who did have a power-play tally on Monday night, but only after Washington already was trailing by three goals in the third period in Buffalo.Ovechkin is on pace to score fewer than 30 goals for the first time in his career, but a possible sign of revival is that he has scored three times in the last five games, during which time he has taken 24 shots on goal—appearing more like the successful volume shooter of old."I feel like I'm getting back to normal, where I used to be," Ovechkin said. "I go to the net and start making plays. Sometimes, you think, 'Why do I have two shots on net?' I realized I just have to move my legs and get in there."That is the heart of the matter for the Capitals. They can make all the changes they want, but the end results still will depend on how close to Ovechkin-level Ovechkin can be. -
3. Lump of coal
At least there was a hint it was coming, but the handling of Ron Wilson's contract extension as coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs was childish at best, cruel at worst.On Friday, Wilson took to Twitter to write, "This Xmas could be better if Santa stuffs a certain piece of paper in my stocking. #whatcouldthatbe"Then, on Saturday, this message: "Hope Santa brings a sense of humor and a dash of perspective to some of my friends. Merry Christmas to everyone."Finally, Christmas morning: "'He came! He came!' Remember saying that as a little kid? Well he did: I got a new Red Ryder BB gun and a contract extension!"Charming as it is to know that Wilson is a fan of "A Christmas Story," this Christmas story was more Wilson and the Maple Leafs grabbing the opportunity to play Scrooge to the Toronto media by making the people who cover the team drop everything to whip up a story on the contract extension. That everyone knew it was coming eventually made no difference—the NHL was on a two-day holiday break, and it would have been simple enough to announce the new deal either before or after business had resumed as normal.Instead, the Maple Leafs took their latest jab at a press corps that has irked the organization this season, most notably when a reporter broke the news of James Reimer's previously secret concussion by getting the medical information from his mother. Had the Leafs played it straight from the start with their goaltender's health, it never would have gotten that far.Instead of taking the high road, this is how the Maple Leafs decided to handle their business. Then again, if you were going to announce a contract extension for a coach who had not been to the playoffs in three previous seasons at the helm of hockey's richest club, maybe it would make sense to time it so that as many critics as possible were occupied by candy canes and cookies. -
4. Star turn on Broadway?
When it comes to taking hockey's advanced statistics and turning a mass of numbers and decimal points into meaningful analysis, few are better than Cam Charron, who was as rightfully giddy as any other stathead at the holiday present from behindthenet.ca—the tremendous repository of raw numbers that is a must-visit site for anyone interested in the newer numbers that are shaping the way we think about hockey.In giving readers a primer on behindthenet's new graphical representations of seasonal shot and goal ratios, Charron made an interesting comparison between Brad Richards' old team and his new one. At this time a year ago, the Dallas Stars were surprise leaders of their division, just as the New York Rangers are now, both despite routinely giving up more shot attempts than they would register.The Stars did the mathematically friendly thing and regressed to the mean, eventually missing the playoffs. As Charron wrote, "What I like is how you can really see what we mean by regression when you look over the full slate of 82 games. It isn't something that comes instantly. For instance, after seeing what we saw with the Dallas Stars, what do you think is going to happen as we trudge ahead into January?"After a graph showing the Rangers' goal ratio in green, well above their shot ratio in blue, Charron wrote, "Hint: The green line is going to get a little bit closer to the blue one."The logic is solid, but the implication—that New York is in serious danger of tumbling out of playoff position based on the laws of probability—is flawed. The key difference is that whereas the Stars had a goal-differential of plus-5 when the calendar flipped to 2011, the Rangers are at plus-30, a figure that trails only the Bruins, Red Wings and Canucks. If the Rangers take a step backward, they will be taking a step back into less comfortable positive territory, as opposed to Dallas, which ended last season with a minus-6 total goal differential and an early tee time come April. -
5. Mail call
"In the era of bigger, stronger and faster players… why is there no talk of moving to an Olympic-size rink? It seems the only logical move in lieu of outlawing players over a certain height and weight (think 'sprint hockey' instead of 'sprint football') or prohibiting checking and fighting—which are the two most important things to 85 percent of the viewing audience. And for bonus points, which teams would be best suited for this new playing surface based on their current rosters?"—Ross GiambalvoThe reason that nobody talks about going to an international ice surface in the NHL is all about logistics. The way that most NHL arenas are set up, the seats that go down to ice level are permanent, with extra rows capable of being rolled out to become courtside seats for basketball. Converting to a bigger sheet of ice would mean costly renovations to nearly every arena in the league, and that is not something that every NHL team can afford, or even has the power to do under lease agreements.I don't necessarily agree that "85 percent of the viewing audience" views checking and fighting as the most important aspects of hockey. People want to see the world's most skilled players show what they can do, and while the physicality is appreciated, it is not the centerpiece—nor is it the part of hockey that will take the game to a higher level in the American sports consciousness. That's not to say that hitting isn't a very appealing part of the game'who doesn't like a clean, hard bodycheck?I think, though, that the day will come when there is a blanket ban on hits to the head, and fighting is purely vestigial, if not banned outright. That may not be soon, but it seems an inevitable conclusion. When the NHL more closely resembles Olympic play, maybe several years down the road, perhaps then there will be serious consideration of making the investment to expand rinks.If that were the case now, it would be hard to see a team better suited for the larger ice surface than the smooth and speedy Detroit Red Wings, though the way the Boston Bruins are playing, they could probably dominate if the NHL played its games on frozen lakes.

Best Place to Mountain-Bike Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach 2006 - The Everglades Conservation Levee
Readers' Choice: Markham Park
Dang hurricanes. Not only did last year's batch of storms flood our yards, close our businesses, and leave us without electricity for, like, ever but they chewed up and spat out big chunks of public parks. This was especially problematic for mountain bikers in Broward or Palm Beach counties, who never had much in the way of challenging terrain to begin with -- just Quiet Waters and Markham parks, really. Now here we are in the spring, and only half of the trails at Markham have reopened; a park attendant at Quiet Waters says groundskeepers "haven't even gotten to [the bike trails] yet. They're still cleaning up the campground." That leaves people who want to ride, and ride hard, heading out to a place simply known as "the levee" -- essentially a long, flat gravel road on top of a mound of dirt that holds back the swampy Everglades. The route begins at Markham Park (16001 W. State Rd. 84, Sunrise; go west on the trail near the entrance and walk your bike around the concrete barriers) and you can either ride north until you get tired (Loxahatchee State Park is about 20 miles away) and then turn around or make a 27-mile loop using about three miles of State Road 27 and five miles of State Road 84 (which gets exciting when those Mack trucks fly by!). Although you might spot deer and gators, one rider calls the punishing adventure "not fun at all" but considers it great for endurance training; another described it as "a spinning class with mosquitoes." So, yeah... it's not for pansies. Newbies should contact the friendly folks at Synergy Outdoor Adventure Racing (www.soarteam.com), who won't mind you tagging along on their weekly ride -- and won't laugh if you turn back early.

You ran around the house, giggling madly. You were running from your papa, Germany, because it was bedtime. Well… no one likes bedtime, right? Right. So you were running to hopefully find a place to hide-
Germany sighed and muttered a few choice words in German, making you pause. He had somehow managed to forget that were taught German from a young age, and thus were rather fluent in it. "Papa! That's five Euros in the swear jar!"
He stopped talking immediately. "O-Oh, sorry."
You rolled your eyes and turned around, preparing to run. But just as soon as you were about to take off, Germany had already ran up to you and was crouching down in front of you, his hands on your shoulders. He sighed.
"Come on, it's time for bed."
"But I don't wanna!"
"Come on, (f/n)."
All the sudden, a loud, obnoxious voice rang out, "THE AWESOME ME IS BACK! AND HE HAS BROUGHT FRIENDS!" followed by three different forms of creepy laughter.
You glanced up at your father, knowing exactly who the three people were.
"Never mind. I'm tired. Let's go."
Germany chuckled softly and picked you up gently, as if he were carrying the most precious object in the world, which in a way, he was. He carried you back toward your room, skillfully avoiding the three men that had moved to the kitchen and were now singing a drinking song while raiding your father's beer stash (which, you had to admit, wasn't hidden well enough if three drunk men could find it. Or maybe Uncle Prussia is just that skilled at sniffing out booze). Upon arriving at your room, he tucked you under the fluffy comforter on your bed.
"Goodnight, (f/n.)"
"Papa… will you sing?"
"It will help drown out Uncle Prussia in the kitchen."
"… Fine. But only this once."
Germany paused to think of a song to sing. He began.
"Guter Mond, du gehst so stille
durch die Abendwolken hin
Deines Schöpfers weiser Wille
hieß auf jene Bahn dich zieh´n
Leuchte freundlich jedem Müden
in das stille Kämmerlein
und dein Schimmer gieße Frieden
ins bedrängte Herz hinein!
Guter Mond du wandelst leise
An dem blauen Himmelszelt,
Wo dich Gott zu seinem Preise
Hat als Leuchte hingestellt
Blicke traulich zu uns nieder
Durch die Nacht aufs Erdenrund.
Als ein treuer Menschenhüter
Tust du Gottes Liebe kund.
Guter Mond, so sanft und milde
glänzest du im Sternenmeer,
wallest in dem Lichtgefilde
hehr und feierlich einher.
Menschentröster, Gottesbote
der auf Friedenswolken thront,
zu dem schönsten Morgenrote
führst du uns, o guter Mond!"1
You smiled sleepily.
"Ich liebe dich."2
"Ich liebe dich auch, mein Liebling."3

Trundle desperate to tackle Cardiff
The on-loan Bristol City star previously spent four years with the Swans, scoring 86 goals, but he never got the opportunity to line-up against their bitter rivals. But, having returned to the club on an initial four-month loan deal, the 33-year-old is hoping manager Paulo Sousa will give him the nod to face Dave Jones' men. "It's obviously a game that I'm looking forward to," he said. "It is the first opportunity I've had come up against them for Swansea and I'm desperate to play. "I know how much it means to everyone here and I just want to do my bit."

You are on your own
Camera operators from Project Veritas, headed by James O'Keefe, asked police officers in their stations in North Carolina, New Jersey, and New York for advice on what homeowners should do while waiting for police to arrive. While a few officers suggested applying for gun permits, the group says the majority of the advice was the same: fend for yourself. Police suggested anything from locking yourself behind closed doors and screaming, using bleach and ammonia, and having a dog to protect your home.

I feel bad for the police in that they are terrified of telling you to get a gun and defend your home by whatever means necessary. You know most of them want to tell you that (some of them sounded like idiots though) but their hands are tied...
Without getting into political stuff here I am so thankful in TX for castle doctrine and the right which I have exercised for 4 years now of getting a concealed carry permit, which I hope becomes unnecessary in the near future if the open carry bill passes. |
All Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. is saying is that you have the right to protect yourself. Get some training and hope you never have to defend yourself in a life or death situation. Solidad O'Brian was doing her job by adding drama to already highly political topic.
I tell everyone who asks me questions like this that if they feel they are responsible and able to do so, then they should consider buying a firearm.
I'm surprised they didn't suggest announcing you have herpes and throwing your feces and urine at them. That was what a politician recently suggested would be a good way of fending of a rapist as opposed to a firearm. WTF has this nation come to?
