There are but a handful of automobile manufacturers worldwide whose names are associated with truly supercar performance capabilities.One is Porsche, the manufacturer of the 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo, a coupe whose engineering design put it on a rarified plain of automotive excellence.The 1996 911 Turbo is based on the latest revisions of the 911 model's 21-year history.Key elements include an exterior styling which has been updated without losing the 911 styling theme, a redesigned rear suspension, the fifth level of ABS braking, a stronger body shell, and enhanced driver/passenger levels of comfort and ergonomics.Added to this package are the four-wheel drive system from the Porsche 911 Carrera 4, bodywork that features the fixed Turbo-wing rear spoiler, and extensive luxury equipment.The 911 Turbo is the epitome of the adage "Speed costs money, how fast do you want to go?"For those who can afford it, this machine can give you a real ride, like on the order of 180 miles per hour and 0-60 in 4.4 seconds. Porsche says this performance data is supplied for information purposes only. The company recommends owners obey all traffic laws.The 911 Turbo is not for everyone. With a $105,000 base price, it's obvious that you need to bring money."Generally, prices run from about $110,000 to $115,000," said Chad Spidle, new car manager for Tom Wood Porsche. "Buyer demographics are professional people whose ages run from the late 40s to early 60s. Right now, I have more customers than cars."For that type of expenditure, you get the most powerful production Porsche ever offered for sale in the United States.The engine is based on the traditional Porsche flat-6 (opposed or so called boxer) design. While the "in" thing among engine design these days is dual overhead cams and four valves per cylinder, the Turbo sticks with a single overhead cam, two valves per cylinder, and a hemispherical combustion chamber.The results from 3.6 liters of displacement (220 cubic inches) and twin turbochargers with dual intercoolers is 400-horsepower and 400 foot-pounds of torque.This kind of power is guaranteed to get your attention, particularly when flat-footing through Porsche's six-speed gearbox.The six-speeder is the only way the 911 Turbo comes. Porsche makes a very excellent four-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission which can be manually shifted or run as fully automatic. The torque developed from turbocharging is a little beyond the safety capacities of the automatic.Porsche has designed a manual gearbox that is strong enough to withstand the power of the Turbo's motor but is easier to drive in stop-and-go traffic than earlier models. Double-cone synchromesh on first and second gears reduce shifting effort by 40 percent, and a hydraulically assisted clutch needs some 25 percent less effort and has 15 percent less pedal travel.If you want to take a lesson from the horse that pulls the wagon with all four feet, Porsche's AWD (all -wheel drive) system is the right way to drive a motor car. Not only is it an advantage on slippery pavement, but all four wheels driving give the car the sense of balance through fast corners that assures drivers that everything is going the way they want it to go.The 911 Turbo is no spartan, roaring, vibrating sports car. It is luxury personified.The interior features Porsche's traditional 2-plus-2 seating, but with 89.5 inches of wheelbase and 167.8 inches of overall length the rear seats mainly are for little people.A five-gauge instrument panel dominates the dash board. Porsche designers had the good sense to include an oil pressure and oil temperature gauge to monitor the turbocharged engine.

As Tiger Woods turns 38, he's still the world's No. 1-ranked golfer by a wide margin. He's also the reigning PGA Tour Player of the Year, again.
So what will it take for him to get that elusive major win No. 15? And which part of his game stands in the way?
Our scribes dive into those topics and more in the latest edition of Four-Ball.
1. Finish this sentence: Tiger's next major comes ...
Michael Collins, ESPN.com senior golf analyst: ... at the Masters. Sweet redemption/justice for everything that happened in April.
Farrell Evans, ESPN.com senior golf writer: ... at the 2014 PGA Championship at Valhalla in Louisville.
Bob Harig, ESPN.com senior golf writer: At the Open Championship, to be played at Hoylake in 2014. Of course I thought he'd win at Muirfield too. But the Open, at a place he had great success the last time, seems a logical place.
Kevin Maguire, ESPN.com senior golf editor: ... once he can start feeling comfortable in uncomfortable situations at Grand Slam tournaments. PGA Tour pros will tell you that until it feels normal being in the final pairing on a Sunday with the lead, it's difficult to seal the deal. Well, the same is even more accurate in major championships. Tiger's work on the weekends at majors in recent years has been less than stellar, so re-learning that uncomfortable-is-now-comfortable axiom could be the difference maker.
2. Tiger will have more, less or the same number of wins (five) in the 2013-14 season as he did in 2013?
Collins: Same number of wins but one will be a major. He will get two top-10 finishes in other majors and finish outside the top 15 in a fourth.
Evans: Tiger will have five or six wins in 2014. He won't have a serious dropoff in performance, unless he falls into another funk that leads him to another swing reconstruction.
Harig: Less. The guess here is four victories. And if he really does come through with a major, nobody will notice that it was one victory less than in 2013.
Maguire: The same. Five wins is a mighty impressive year, but 2014 would be significantly improved if one of those five were a major. The venues for 2014's Grand Slam tournaments (Augusta National, Pinehurst No. 2, Hoylake and Valhalla) all feed nicely into Tiger's past history on those courses, so I suspect the major drought ends in the coming months.
3. Which part of Tiger's game does he need to focus on most in 2014?
Collins: Tiger has got to improve on proximity to the hole on approach shots inside 125 yards. His wedge play when it mattered most in the clutch was not up to his standard.
Evans: With Tiger, it's all mental. You could point to his erratic driving, short-distance putting or wedge play, but his biggest problem lies in his head. The pressure on him to win majors will never subside. But the first step is for Tiger to acknowledge that he's not mentally infallible. It's not clear that he knows the root cause of his recent disappointments in majors.
Harig: Driving. Getting the tee shot in play is paramount to Tiger's success. He doesn't putt as well as he used to, but Woods is still an exceptional iron player and exhibits plenty of short-game prowess. It is imperative that he dominate the par-5s, and the best way for him to do this is to hit as many of those greens in two as possible. That requires a good tee shot. At his best, Woods always dominated the par-5s, and you'll notice, mostly, in his victories of late that has been key.
Maguire: The mental game. The swing is fine. Sure, he doesn't hit many fairways, but that wasn't an issue when he was churning out major wins in record fashion. The putter is streaky and as he nears 40, it will only become more so. But until the space between the ears becomes his most vaunted asset again, Woods won't be adding to his majors haul.
4. Fact or fiction: Tiger Woods will be the 2013-14 PGA Tour Player of the Year.
Collins: Fact. Five wins plus a major might even beat two majors alone and I don't see anyone winning two majors to start that argument.
Evans: It's a fact, unless someone wins two majors against his five or six regular tour wins.
Harig: Fiction. I see Adam Scott getting the award this time after what appeared to be a close call in 2013. For that to happen, he's going to have to have a big year, however. If Tiger wins four times including a major, Scott is going to have some kind of season.
Maguire: Fact. Percentage-wise, he always wins this award, right? To expect anyone in the world to produce a season better than Woods would likely take multiple major victories in a season. That hasn't happened since 2008, coincidentally when Woods was out of action due to a broken leg after he won his last major, in the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines.

Lovely work. :)
I have to confess, this is how I wanted Remember, Remember by Suite Sambo to end. XD
I'm glad I found an alternate pairing and ending with your story. :D

This was simply wonderful. I adored this fic all the way through. Your style is simple but beautiful, having the kind of clarity that most fanfiction (and even some books) don't. It was mesmerizing to read and *see* how the plot unravelled, forming a gorgeous story that just begs to be read from the very beginning. Did you take writing classes? Do you have a normal book published?

So good.
| oolfloo chapter 1 . 3/14/2014
I love the story! Everything is perfect, no matter how much I hate Ginny and Harry's canon children. I, however, found the ending a little less satisfying. The plot was okay (sev staying in the muggle world etc), I just think a bit more emotion should be included. Something like the sex scene in the middle, where you described their desires and insecurities and thoughts in detail. I really loved the emotional connection in that particular scene.
| Yulliah chapter 1 . 3/11/2014
That was simply wonderful! Loved it!
| harrytwifan chapter 1 . 3/10/2014
Brilliant story! Such a unique idea. I've missed your writing. I'm a Harry/Draco fan, but had to read this because you wrote it. I'm so glad I did!
| Saint Snape chapter 1 . 3/9/2014
Really good story.

Chicken Chili with Black Beans RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
4.5 5 9
Because it looks different than traditional chili, my family was a little hesitant to try this dish at first. But thanks to full, hearty flavor, it's become a real favorite around our house. I like to serve it with warm corn bread. —Jeanette Urbom, Louisburg, Kansas
- 3 whole boneless skinless chicken breasts (1-3/4 pounds), cubed
- 2 medium sweet red peppers, chopped
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 cans (15 ounces each) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 can (28 ounces) Italian stewed tomatoes, cut up
- 1 cup chicken broth or beer
- In a Dutch oven, saute the chicken, red peppers and onion in oil for 5 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Add the green chilies, garlic, chili powder, cumin and coriander; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the beans, tomatoes and broth or beer; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes, stirring often. Yield: 10 servings (3 quarts).

More Amir Khan training footage-speed and now power
I know how everyone says Amir is overated and Amir cant hit, but looking at this I can already tell a few things. For one, Amir looks alot muscular and im sure he hits harder now. KO power? no, but its going to help him. Second, his speed is still there, i was impressed when he threw off the 4-6-8 combination punches. Hes growing into a welterweight and I think he will do well in that division if he keeps looking like that.

Khan has already been exposed, why do people think their is some sort of "potential" with him. he is what he is. A fast fighter with severe flaws. No training will help him. He won't have a long career.

Everytime someone posts about Pacman & Khan, the 1st thing they talk about is speed & power. Like that's the only thing that defines the winner in boxing.

He should be fighting at WW his upper body is big but his legs are skinny just like when he was fighting in England at Light Weight. When he started working with Roach he said he wanted to build the legs and strip down the upper body. After he gets past this next fight to get a title I can't see him staying atb LW for too long.

Must be difficult watching him fighting top level fighters consistently, you must be praying for him to lose each time. Would like to know who hasn't been 'exposed' and in your eyes has no flaws....

Starting to look a bit top heavy IMV. That's not great if he's moving up a weight too. It'll leave him more prone to being "Prescotted" again.
We all know Khan has supremely quick hands but that's never been an issue. It's his defense and ring intelligence that are the issues.
Until he learns how to defend and develop a ring IQ (I highly doubt he can do these things) he'll be the same fighter. Nothing wrong with that either because regardless of how people hate on the guy, he's one of the most exciting fighters to watch and has already had two FOTY.

Hampton Roads Transit bus drivers are assaulted more often than any others in Virginia, and the transit company wants the area's prosecutors to start getting tougher on offenders.
It's not just bus drivers, but passengers who are at risk, HRT President and CEO William Harrell says.
He tried, but failed, to get the General Assembly to demand jail time for such assaults.
But he's convinced the area's legislators to sign a letter asking Commonwealth's Attorneys to seek jail time when operators are assaulted.
HRT operators were assaulted 96 times from January 2013 to September 2015 –more than any other transit service in...

Peach Yogurt Pops
Cool down with this refreshing fruity treat.
Save time and calories by omitting the second bun bottom and simply making 1 patty instead of 2 with the 3 ounces of beef. This way, you'll need only 1 1/2 tablespoons of sauce. You'll be left with a more nutritionally balanced burger. Plus, you'll still have room for some fries or a side salad, all the while still enjoying that great Big Mac flavor . . . in minutes. - Chef Devin
Divide the beef in half. On a sheet of waxed paper, shape each half into a 4" patty. Season both sides with salt. Transfer the waxed paper to a plate. Place, uncovered, in the freezer for 5 minutes.
Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until drops of water sizzle when splashed on the pan. Place the patties in the pan. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until no longer pink. Meanwhile, place the bun top and bottoms, cut-sides down, in the pan. Cook for about 1 minute, or until toasted. (If the pan is not large enough to hold the patties and the buns, first cook 1 patty with the bottom bun and then start assembling the sandwich while the others cook.) Just before the patties are cooked, place the cheese on 1 patty.
Place 1 bun bottom on a plate. Spread on 1 tablespoon sauce. Place the cheeseburger, cheese-side down, on the bun. Spread 1 teaspoon sauce on the second bun bottom and place, sauce-side down, on the cheeseburger. Top with the remaining 1 tablespoon sauce, the onion, lettuce, pickles, the remaining burger, and the bun top.

Expiration? Drugs May Last Longer Than You Think
Do you still have old prescriptions in your medicine cabinet?
Chances are, you're one of many Americans who don't have to heart to toss out expired pain relievers, cough syrup or sleeping pills. But you can't seem to throw them away because you suspect they might still be okay to take. Well, according to recent studies, some medications are still potent after 50 years—so maybe you shouldn't!

Five songs of 2007 help put politics back in our playlists
By Marisa Demarco
Religion and politics—the two topics you're not supposed to bring up in mixed company or, until pretty recently, in your songs. Of course, there are plenty of both in conversation and in music, but it wasn't all that long ago—pre-wartime, perhaps—that it was once again passé to put your political views into your pop tunes.
Sonic ReducerBroken Social Scene Presents: Kevin Drew Spirit If ... · Kanye West Graduation · Ani DiFranco Canon
Canadian Baroque-pop super group Broken Social Scene has not put out a new album. BSS co-founder Kevin Drew has ... with 23 contributing musicians, including members of BSS (hence the "presents"). But Spirit If ... is Drew's baby. Despite massive collaborative efforts, Drew wrote or co-wrote all the songs, sang lead vocals, played various instruments, produced the album and created the album art. Gives one the impression BSS wasn't satisfying his creative urge. Spirit If ... is a masterful piece of genre-blending art, taking the elements that made BSS a hit and adding a more personal, self-sacrificing tone. It's a satisfying rock album that (thankfully) doesn't aim to be anything but. [AD]

Once upon a time, back in 2004, in the distant land of Arizona, there was born a folk-punk band by the name of Andrew Jackson Jihad. It was a mouthful, so they decided to go by the acronym AJJ. Then they decided to formally change their name to that. Soon they'll be at the Launchpad. People in this town like to shit on the folk-punkers, but fuck those jerks…

Hit 'em with the High and the Low
Palisades • electronicore • It Lives, It Breathes • post-hardcore • Darke Complex • metal
By Megan Reneau
There is a rhythmic connection between genres dubstep and metalcore. One band that's done phenomenal in this kind of mashup (referred to as electronicore) is Palisades originating from Iselin, N.J. Having been to their last show in town, I can guarantee that they put on an equally energetic and high quality show, which makes sense because after going on over 20 tours in the last four years, they are likely to have nearly perfected their performance technique. These guys just don't quit—or take a break for that matter—and I'm glad they haven't. In addition to the supporting bands It Lives, It Breaths and Darke Complex this is going to be a good fucking time. They'll be in town on Sunday, Oct. 9, at the gem of a locale, Blu Phoenix Venue,and tickets are only $8! Doors open at 6pm, and it's likely to be packed so get there on time (or early).

I got a As Is vehicle, a 2004 Cherokee Limited and was secure in driving off the lot.
After I had some day light I started checking it over.
The main belt for the motor has splits in it?
The tire pressure in all four wheels was anywhere from 38 psi to 27 psi. And the rear window wiper blade is split...

Aerin's Song 'O The Day: "U Want Me 2" by Sarah McLachlan
Hi Jeremy. Thanks for letting me borrow that movie. I had a lot to say about it, so I'm blogging about it here. Heh.
SPOILER ALERT. You have been warned. Again.
I was in the bookstore the other day, agonizing over something to read. You see, what they don't tell you in creative writing school is that once you start writing, you have to give up reading what you love to read. Jim Butcher, for me, is a guilty pleasure—because, you see, I shouldn't be reading him, but I do (and I'm obviously not THAT much of a fan-- I didn't realize he was IN San Diego in April).
But I digress. Since I am writing an urban fantasy (One could argue that True Blood counts as an Urban Fantasy, but I believe I've defined it so many times here you're probably sick of me explaining what it is) I can no longer read those. It also means that, no matter how curious about Supernatural, I can't watch it (sad panda). So what, then, can poor Aerin read? Hm. That would be High Fantasy (Tolkien, et al), Hard Science Fiction (Heinlein, et al), and Mystery, Romance, stuff like that.
Lately, all the fantasy on the bookshelf seems to be a Twilight clone (I'm Team "I want Twilight to die"), or a Harry Pothead clone (I want to be a dementor), or a Robert Jordan clone (Uh.. I know nothing about these), so I've given up looking. No one writes epic tales like Moon's The Deed of Paksannarion, for example, in a well-written, NOT long-winded way. I used to love Mercedes Lackey, but I dunno… maybe I've outgrown her, but I can't seem to sit and read her stuff anymore.
As for hard sci-fi… there's sci-fi, yes. But precious little that strikes my fantasy here as well—nothing about exploring space, and all that.. it's just not trendy anymore. And the greats—Heinlein, Asimov, Bradbury, Dick… they wrote about distant stars while speaking about humanity, and what makes us human.
And really, that's my favorite aspect of Sci-fi that no one writes about anymore, and even less, the sub category of sci-fi that I enjoy most that no one writes about anymore, and that's cyberpunk. I won't define it here, either. But when it does happen, when cyberpunk is done right, there's something magical about it, something that makes you scratch that noggin of yours, like you itch somewhere and you can't find the spot exactly—that itch is that sense of wonder you get when you realize, yeah, it's cool to be human, now, in our day and age, no matter how crappy your day's been. It's a case of "At least it didn't happen to me" syndrome, I suppose.
So Cyberpunk is dead to me (I haven't read a good book in that genre in ages, if someone wants to recommend something to me that'd be great), but Hollywood seems to like tackling that "which is better, man or machine?" question. T2 did it amazingly, and to a lesser degree, the Matrix. Appleseed, the manga, did it superbly. It's around. And when I find it I get all giddy, because I can enjoy it without it leaking into my novel universe.
Which brings me to Vexille. Jeremy was kind enough to loan me his copy and I sat through it, entertained for an hour or so. It starts simply (or not) enough—the basic premise is that with the disturbing advancement in robotic bio-technology (and Japan its leader), the UN bans all such research. Japan quits the UN and spends a decade in self-isolation, and can afford to do so because of its status as the leader of this technology—the rest of the world, ironically, is so dependent on Japan's robotic production that there's no peep of sanctions (this made me wonder, if Iran or North Korea had a product the rest of the world needed, would the UN act in the same manner that it does? Probably not) or any other kind of political or economic ramification.
Enter the elite military group (American, of course) S.W.O.R.D, and two members in particular, Leon (Why is it, in Japanese stories about Americans, that so many guys are named Leon? Why not Chris, or Sean, or something more generic I mean popular?) and Vexille (I bet she got teased as a kid 'cause of her stupid name and that's why she's some kick-ass Marine equivalent now, all grown up). They're involved, obviously. Gotta have soe romantic stuff in here. Don't worry, romance haters-- it's minimal. anyway. They enter Japan in a covert mission to determine what, if any, the threat to humanity is.
But this thing's called Vexille. So Leon disappears from the scene a few minutes into it, and from then on it's all Vexille and Leon's old flame, Maria (She's Japanese with a Western name, WTF). I won't go any further into the plot here, because I have to leave something to the imagination, but suffice it to say it's entertaining. If this movie got screen time here in the US I have no doubt it'd do well. But this is an audience of one here, me, and I'm spoiled. Spoiled off of the humanity of the Terminator in T2. Spoiled by the "Electric Grandmother" type short story I grew up reading (and I'm really not THAT old, I just spent a lot of time in the bookstore when I was a kid).
Let me digress for a minute here (again). I am SO glad to see something come out of Japan where the girls kick some serious ass and aren't whiny about it. Where the girls aren't all girly with the fanboy shots and the boys take back stage. It's refreshing. Or, rather, a good sign that Mr. Director Sori has spent some time in the States…the screenplay "felt" more American than Japanese.
Anyway. The moments that got to me were the tender moments between Leon and Vexille, or when Vexille was staring out into the panorama of "modern" day Los Angeles, where the only time people talk to each other are at work (if that) or via a microphone. When, in contrast, Vexille is wandering through the slums of "modern" day Tokyo, realizing that somehow, Tokyo is much more vibrant, more alive, with its lack of technology.
And yet, these moments are few. When the premise is "the battle between machine and man", I expect more. In stories like this, the best stories make the human character realize how much more humanity is worth when compared, side by side, to machine. When the machines emulate humans, that is, they're found lacking because they're not human. And in these stories, in turn, the main character has to set aside a bit of his/her humanity, to be able to confront said machine. Sori strips this age-old dilemma of its potency by making the humans fall victim to a virus that makes them machine without dwelling on what they miss about being human (he glosses over it, but there's no real emotion in the explanation), and, even worse, the final confrontation is… hollow because the penultimate villain is Maria's old flame… and it's not because he has a God complex.
Speaking of machine emulating man, there are articles on why Shrek's CGI is so much more popular than the CGI in Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, why Avatar did so well. It's called the "Uncanny Valley". And there's a line (it's a pretty popular theory) that we draw, subconsciously or no. We accept CGI if it's obviously not human (If you notice Pixar's humans still look…cartoonish). The theory is that if a robot (and this extends to CGI for some reason) is 95% realistic we'll accept it, but if it's 96% realistic... we're disturbed by it somehow, subconsciously.
I'm sure that most anime watchers would think that Vexille is a superb feat of CGI (and it is, don't get me wrong), but to me it looked a bit too real. When I'm turning off the Japanese to switch to the English dub 2 minutes into the parts where we're in America, I know there's something up. I looked for the characters walking (pretty close) and the lips (didn't quite dub so well in the English), and the hair (very neat). It took me a good half-hour to set aside my "subconscious" and enjoy.
By then I was waiting for the confrontation, the final confrontation between man and machine. And I didn't get it. The ending wasn't satisfying enough. Tokyo wasn't real enough. The Jags weren't real enough. In the end, I didn't get the answer to the epic battle between man and machine, because there wasn't one.
SPOILER ALERT. I'm reminding you again.
All of this, ALL of it, could have been solved if the head bad guy (see, he was such a whiny bitch I forgot his name) was a machine. And if Vexille had to sacrifice her humanity to save the world from said machine. Then it'd be man vs. machine, you see. But it wasn't. And that makes the movie's theme less satisfying. And, what I said earlier, the American ending… the main character gets out of it alive, completely unscathed, to do a cheesy voice-over about hope. The best characters are changed somehow by all the poo that was slung at them during their epic journey, you see? Not so Vexille.
So. Final verdict? Great entertainment. But not a keeper on Aerin's Blu-Ray shelf.
Tomorrow I'm going to the library, to see if I can spend the day with Bradbury's classics.
Geez, I'm long winded. My bad.
Sending you Infernal Affairs, Jeremy (sorry, it has nothing to do with robots), in return. The alternate IA ending, btw, was the mainland china release version, but the original version is much more effective. I wonder if you'll agree? Hope you enjoy :)

Nicole Hosp of Austria won the silver medal and Marlies Oester of Switzerland earned the bronze.
For the United States, Julia Mancuso was seventh while Resi Stiegler was 10th and Caroline Lalive was 13th.
Kostelic won the combined gold medal at the Olympics last year in Salt Lake City, plus two more golds and a silver. She became the first Alpine skier to win four medals at a single Olympics.
"I never paid much attention to the world championships, so now I can say I have Olympic medals, World Cup and world championship."
The 21-year-old Croatian clutched her right knee after crossing the finish line. Later, she sat at the edge of the finish area, hardly celebrating her gold medal.
"It's not a big injury but it was painful," she said. "I was trying not to think about it."
Kostelic had a major knee injury in St. Moritz three years ago. She was on painkillers Monday after hurting her knee in practice. The injury apparently worsened during the morning downhill, where she finished 12th, 0.67 seconds off the pace.
Kostelic was 0.17 behind Hosp after the first slalom run but raced a virtually error-free second leg to win by 0.06. Oester was 2.20 seconds behind.
In the combined, times from the downhill and the two slalom runs are added.
Marlies Schild of Austria finished fourth, followed by two Germans — Maria Riesch and defending champion Martina Ertl.
Christine Sponring of Austria, silver medalist at the worlds two years ago, was fifth after the downhill but missed a gate in the first slalom run and was eliminated.

This is what DS is dressing up as, we already got it and he looks so cute in it! Hes going trick or treating though, hes 22 months old.
Last year he was 11 months old, 8 months adjusted and we took him out for like 20 minutes, he was a frog.
I'm a mom and I have a few kids.
Obviously didn't make it but mine is a sweat pea :) I meant sweet pea...typo sorry!

Since Sprint announced it would End-of-Life its WiMAX smartphones and partner with LS2 many board members and even some tech journalist have been completely mystified. They can't understand how it is more attractive for Sprint to invest near $10B to build LTE on its own spectrum, or that of other partners, than to give CLWR the $600 million it "says" it needs to build out LTE.
First one needs to understand what CLWR said could be accomplished for $600 Million. CLWR would deploy LTE capability in select high-trafficked "hotspots" of only about 70% of its roughly 70 markets. Therefore what would actually get LTE service would be "hotspots" on some cell sites within 40 markets. Further when CLWR deploys a market and includes the entire local population in its POPs calculation the numbers are misleading, one could say inflated, because with the Near-Line-Of-Sight properties the spectrum has there are numerous service dead-zones in the "covered areas" and in reality only about 60% of the population at any given time can get a reliable signal. This is what lead reporters to describe CLWR's WiMAX service as "spottier than a kennel of dalmations". CLWR has not fixed this in its current WiMAX markets and it wouldn't be fixed with LTE either without billions more invested in the current service footprint.
So what benefit is there to Sprint as carrier to have limited LTE "hotspot" coverage in roughly 40 markets? The answer is very little. Limited "hotspot' coverage in 40 markets is more like an extended technology demonstration.
Now look at Vz's and AT&T's LTE network build-out plans. They both are racing to deliver LTE service in the range of 200-230 markets and that's what it takes to be a member in the top tier carrier category. And FYI, both companies are remaining top tier carriers and not offering full "unlimited" service - which doesn't really exist anyway and consumers have shown isn't a requirement.
So what would it really take to build-out CLWR with LTE with a network that could rival Vz's or AT&T's in coverage? Just to cover CLWR's current WiMAX footprint in 70 markets and not just "hotspots" could have a price tag of the $3 billion range. Now extrapolate this to 230 markets, many which cost more per POP to build, and one is quickly in the $12-15 billion range. These are the kind of numbers Sprint has had to compare to its own Network Vision plan, not the $600 Million number CLWR threw out to the public that would give Sprint less capability than what they already have with CLWR's WiMAX network.
Sprint's Network Vision plan looks attractive compared to the CLWR alternative and probably equally important to Sprint's management it won't have to fight with a subsidiary over how to run their business.
Maybe no one wanted to partner with Wimax. LTE is another story.
Good points: VZW an d AT&T have spent several billions on fiber optic back-haul and core IP network build outs over the past three years. Sprint is now going out for contracts to do the same. The 1st round of base station upgrades apparently has been done but two more contracted stages of upgrades will be undertaken over the next ~12 months. I don't know what the cost of that will be but it has to be at least into the several hundred millions if not $1-3 billion. The way S is going about this makes sense and should result in lower costs than what I understand AT&T has spent. I don't know the comparables for VZW.
In any case, Sprint has a lot of conversion work left and not enough spectrum to deliver the unlimited/higher bandwidth competitive alternative. They must use 2.6GHz - there has never been an alternative to that. LS, or DISH won't change that. The cable companies could help out the spectrum situation for Sprint but they would use what they as their service expanded into widespread use... Sprint won't make a lot of gravy leaching off of the cable or satellite/MSS companies AWS spectrum. DISH has a narrow (5MHz) of 700MHz spectrum and maybe something could be put together by combining that with Qualcomm's 6-12MHz in 700MHz band. However, in every case the holders of that alternative spectrum will not want to be cheap wholesalers and will likely come to use all they have, and the more that they can get in order to grow the broadband media use they would focus.
Clearwire's situation is tenuous because it is very easy to imagine that nobody will partner with them or come to their financial aide. From a contribution of capital or revenue perspective, Clearwire has largely failed at partnering outside of Sprint. So why should anyone think they will succeed going forward? ..Because the situation is much different.. going into 2012. Sprint will not move away from use of 2.6GHz. That is different than saying they have no need to partner with others for access and development of other bands. Sprint is well advised to pursue partnering that can bring in capital and use of lower frequency spectrum.. anyone who says otherwise is obviously just nuts.
If Sprints buildout includes moneys and spectrum from LS2, then without LS2, the buildout estimates are missing necessary additional spectrum and cash projections and are way understated. Sprint is skating on very thin ice. This mistake could be fatal for Sprint.
If Hesse's plan was to BK CLWR or drive down share price for a cheaper buyout it will cost Sprint millions in legal fees.
haha ya that's the sad part, actually SPRINT shareholders took a big hit on that and this truly calls for a shareholder lawsuit.
Sprint blew it by not reaching a "win-win arrangement with Clearwire," according to Moody's.
IMO, Hesse's ability to turn Sprint around is over estimated. Does he not know Sprint owns 1/2 of CLWR?
... the rate of speed at which these networks are filling up. I-phone 4s's updated processor will just speed that up even more.
Look at the reason MetroPCS is even considering Clearwire... to offload volumes in their heaviest POPs densities from what I'm reading... which is where Clearwire's infrastructure is concentrated and built densely to boot in order to compensate for propagation needs at 2.5ghz. It was expensive to build to that density but now that it's done, their resulting cell radiuses also give them oodles of capacity in addition to what the ability to deploy mulitple channels also provides.
There is much about what PCS is likely considering about CLWR that goes beyond the benefits the merger might produce.
but many have said metro won't make a move till they see what happens with tmobile and att merger.
but something's gotta give in this race against time for clwr, I highly doubt clearwire insider and highside would have double down with this uncertainty.
something, or someone has got to be in the works.
... as the lack of expenditures has put sprint further behind Verizon and AT&T. Any surge in volumes from I-phone could reveal significant cracks in sprint's infrastructure and hit them with further losses which, combined with a N.V. related surge in 2012 cap-ex, could put them so far behind VZ/AT&T financially that i-phone would be irrelevant to their future.
If sprint experiences a spectrum crunch (which appears to already be developing) and Lightsquared enters 2012 with swarms of legislators biting their heels, something will have to give and MetroPCS could end up being the guiding light to spectral sanity.

The Decline of Discourse?
Published: May 7, 1995
To the Editor:
Andrew Delbanco's essay "The Decline of Discourse?" (April 16), about The New Republic's vituperative assault on Cornel West, is, at least in some respects, evenhanded (particularly in the final paragraphs). But Mr. Delbanco's apparent admiration for Leon Wieseltier, the author of the diatribe, results in significant omissions and a suspicion of bias.
Why no mention of the rancorous tone of the attack, its meanspiritedness and gratuitously pejorative language? Is that the meaning of "brilliantly polemical" or "a spectacular instance of . . . virtuoso writing"? Nor are we told how Mr. Wieseltier stoops to ad hominem tactics.
Three cheers for the "gentlemanly" style of Cornel West. And may his message continue to be listened to and judged on its merits. MYRA T. RUSSEL New York

Brother MFC-9450CDN colour laser MFP
Brother produces another good quality colour laser multifunction printer.
- Fast, low purchase price, autoduplexing included
- Pale color prints, Lack of detail in color scans
Bottom Line
Brother's MFC-9450CDN offers speed, features, and economy along with tolerable shortcomings. It's well worth considering for a small office that doesn't need high-quality colour graphics.
Price$ 1,399.00 (AUD)
Brother's MFC-9450CDN colour laser multifunction printer juggles speed, features, output quality, and design well enough to be a worthy choice for most small offices or small workgroups. The only people it is likely to disappoint are those who need sophisticated colour imaging.
The MFC-9450CDN performed capably in our speed tests. Brother claims that the unit can print both black-and-white text and colour images as fast as 21 pages per minute — and it came close to that mark for text (20.4 ppm), with perfect-looking output. But its colour graphics performance was much slower 4.9 ppm, and print quality was underwhelming: On plain paper, our test photos looked washed-out and blurry; and on special paper with optimised settings, the colours still had a yellow cast and exhibited moiré patterns. Scans and copies were sometimes a bit too dark but overall they looked good.
The level of colour quality will be adequate for many office users; but if you're more exacting, you should consider the Xerox Phaser 6128MFP, which handled photos better and costs slightly less than brother's colour laser MFP. The MFC-9450CDN has a lot to offer, though we also noticed a few quirks. Among its pluses are an automatic duplexer and a USB/PictBridge port. Augmenting the unit's 35-sheet automatic document feeder (ADF) for scan and copy input, you get a 250-sheet main input tray and a 50-sheet multipurpose tray. An optional 500-sheet paper tray lists for $250. On the control panel, buttons for fax, scan, and copy functions are not grouped — but everything is clearly labelled, so the arrangement is more annoying than confusing.
At this writing, the MFC-9450CDN's toner cartridges are tolerably priced. The high yield cartridges for MFC-9450CDN consist of a 5,000-page black toner cartridge for $171.95 (3.4 cents per page), and three 4000-page colour cartridges for $250.95 each (6.2 cents per colour per page), which works out to a somewhat high four-colour page cost of 22 cents. Standard yield toners can also be bought for a lower cost, but are not as cost effective.
Replacing the toner, though, is no ice cream sundae in the shade: Even with clear instructions, I had to manhandle the cartridge tray release lever to open it. Also, since the bays are not keyed, you might insert the wrong cartridge in the wrong bay — and print bizarrely coloured images. We can't believe that Brother hasn't idiot-proofed this area, though the company says that it has had no complaints and assures us that switching colours won't damage the printer.
Brother's MFC-9450CDN offers speed, features, and economy along with tolerable shortcomings. It's well worth considering for a small office that doesn't need high-quality colour graphics.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

While it is probably true that dependency on tourism is unsustainable, the irony is that the ideas offered up in the article were still destination oriented. This is just as unsustainable as traditional tourism. It still involves millions of people driving up here in largely low mpg vehicles to take advantage of what this area has to offer.
The other irony is that the town is embarking on a 17 million dollar project to speed tourists through town without considering what this will do to the quality of life of those impacted by that. Even more autos will make Elkhorn Avenue even less pleasant, dangerous, and unhealthy. Health, wellness, and fitness would be enhanced by less emphasis on the auto and more emphasis on shuttling, biking, and walking.
#2 Mar 10, 2014
Well put tstreet. You mentioned the traffic situation. I am still trying to figure out what the advantage will be of having 10,000 (just a figure) cars going one way as opposed to two ways. The town is proposing a multi level parking structure at the visitors center when in fact the one at the fairgrounds is hardly ever utilized. Maybe licensed engineers should be left with the task of making these decisions instead of our politicians.

Tom Herman Given Best Odds To Become LSU Head CoachThe online gambling website Bovada.lv has put up odds on who will succeed Les Miles as the head coach of the LSU Tigers football team. The online casino has placed University of Houston head coach Tom Herman at the top of the list of potential candidates with +125 odds.
Tom Herman: UH "Wouldn't Have A Chance In Heck To Get In The Big 12" If Up To Other CoachesHead coach Tom Herman knows his team is making waves in College Football as they look to possibly get into the four-team College Football Playoff. But coach Herman told Tiki & Tierney on CBS Sports Radio Wednesday that he believes the success the school has had on the field and in recruiting would hurt the school's chances of getting into the Big 12 if the coachces and athletic directors had a say in it.
Big 4th Quarter Launches UH To 1st Conference VictoryGreg Ward Jr. threw an interception in the end zone. Cincinnati responded by going down the field, getting a touchdown and grabbing the lead and the momentum.

UH Vs. Lamar Game To Air On CW39 This SaturdayThe Cougars move on to face the Lamar Cardinals in week two. The Game was originally only going to air on ESPN3 streaming service but KIAH, CW39, in Houston will now be airing the game locally in Houston.
How Houston Gets Into The College Football PlayoffsIt's too early and too much can happen to really know if this will happen, but everyone will start talking about the Cougars and their chances of being a team that breaks up the dance between the big boys. Since the conversation is going to happen, we thought we'd look at what it will take to get the University of Houston a chance to play for the National Championship, something that is a very possible now.
Houston (15) Takes Down Oklahoma (3) Handily 33-23 In Advocare Texas KickoffBrandon Wilson went end line to end zone to score a touchdown with an Oklahoma missed field goal and No. 15 Houston beat No. 3 Oklahoma 33-23 Saturday, looking every bit ready to compete in the Big 12.

A Flower Does Not Talk: Zen Essaysby Zenkei Shibayama
These essays by a prominent Zen master are a classic introduction to Zen Buddhism, specifically written for Westerners.The former abbot of Nanzenji Monastary in Kyoto, the Reverend Zenkei Shibayama, understood Western ways, and, in the early 1970s, prepared these introductory essays for English speakers.In A Flower Does Not Talk, the author describes the basic characteristics of Zen, the training it calls for, and the Zen Personality, before presenting three typical Zen writings accompanied by informative notes. This book is beautifully illustrated with drawings, photographs of Zen inspired flower arrangements, and paintings by Zen Master Hakuin, is a classic introduction to the core of Buddhist teachings, which provide the basis for the happiness of mankind.

No black genes are not dominant.And you won't hear any scientist,nor genetist say that they are either. That is just something lots of people say who are partial to black features. If black genes were dominant,then part black biracials would have the same hair texture,skin tone,and facial features as their black parent.Which they don't,because most biracial excluding the ones who look white,that you don't even know that they are part black-,most biracials have light skin color tone,while not white in color,is still way closer to to the color of their white parent,than to the brown of the black parent.Same goes for hair texture,which is usually curly,and not often real kinky like the black parent.Amd most part black biracials,have straight narrow noses,even if the black parent has a wide nose.Some part black biracials can come out looking almost exactly like either the black or the white parent,so that either gene shows dominant.Because black genes are more dominant
Just because a biracial does not look white,and you can see black blood there,does not mean that the black is dominant otherwise you would see no traces of white in the features of a biracial,which in most cases you do see traces of both white and black in the biracial.

Walterrean Salley Poems
Best Poem of Walterrean Salley
A Common Addiction Among Poets
Intoxicated by the inspiration
Of his trade—
With mental powers at work,
A true poet rarely sleeps.
His mind ever churning
With powerful imagery
That produces thought,
Sound, rhythm and gesture.
He molds with metaphor,
Shapes with simile,
And paints with irony
Like some great maestro
In his toil to produce
A beautiful symphony
For himself and all who would enjoy.
Little wonder he rarely sleeps.

Police said the dogs were in a camper without food or water. Temperatures were in the single digits.
A veterinarian estimated that the animals were within 24 hours of death.

SPWeb.ImportUserResources method
Imports user resources for the specified language.
Namespace: Microsoft.SharePoint
Assembly: Microsoft.SharePoint (in Microsoft.SharePoint.dll)
- language
- Type: System.Globalization.CultureInfo
Specifies the culture for which resources are to be imported. The value must be one of the cultures in the collection returned by the SupportedUICultures property but it cannot be the default culture for the website's user interface, the value returned by the UICulture property.
- inputFile
- Type: System.IO.Stream
A stream with the user resource data. The data must be in .Resx file format.
No alternate languages are enabled on the site.
The specified language is not one of the installed languages.
Either the language is not supported by the website, or it is the default language. You cannot import resources for the default language of a website.
The input file cannot be imported because its language does not match the specified language.
You can call the ExportUserResources method to create a resource file for each of the languages supported by the site and then give the files to someone who can translate the strings that they contain. When this work is complete, you can call the ImportUserResources method to import the translations, making them available to the multilingual user interface.
You cannot import resources for the default language of the website. New text for the user interface is created in the default language and is subsequently translated to alternate languages. The default language text is used as the resource value for alternate languages until translations are supplied. For more information, see the OverwriteTranslationsOnChange property.
The following example is a console application that looks for a culture-specific resource file for each of the alternate languages supported by a website. If the application finds a resource file, it imports it.
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Globalization; using System.IO; using Microsoft.SharePoint; namespace ConsoleApp { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://localhost")) { using (SPWeb web = site.RootWeb) { if (web.IsMultilingual) { // Import resources for all alternate languages supported by the website. IEnumerable<CultureInfo> cultures = web.SupportedUICultures; foreach (CultureInfo culture in cultures) { // Skip the default language. if (culture == web.UICulture) continue; // Try to get a resource file for the current language. FileInfo fi = GetResxFileInfo(Environment.CurrentDirectory, culture.Name); if (fi == null) continue; // If a file exists, import it. using (FileStream fs = fi.OpenRead()) { Console.WriteLine("Importing from {0}", fi.Name); web.ImportUserResources(culture, fs); } } } } } Console.Write("\nPress ENTER to continue...."); Console.Read(); } static FileInfo GetResxFileInfo(string path, string cultureName) { DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(path); string searchPattern = String.Format("*.{0}.resx", cultureName); FileInfo[] fi = di.GetFiles(searchPattern); return fi.Length > 0 ? fi[0] : null; } } }

Mr. Fmc_Lithium_Twit:Where do you come off criticising the company? I take offense as a fellow FMC'er.It sounds like you�ve been hitting the company meds for an extra dose to keep your jollies up for another day. While you�re on your next trip down, I�ll look after the wife. After all, she says that having a go with you is like sharing a bed with two guys. Face it; she�s not used to that few. Keep out of the FMC cabinet for a time and skip on the lithium, so I can have a go at being number three.Sod off, you pratt.If you want to find me, I'm in the book.
Nice message you a manager or FMC yes manDon't give up you day job.
Rumour has it that the "Management Team" at Bromborough are auditioning for Emmerdale as they are running this site like a soap opera !!!!!!!! Keep up the good work !
