^Sure you do.
It just makes sense to pay a subscription to MS just so you can pay a subscription to netflix to use netflix's product. And watch some awesome Doritio's adds on LIVE.
Sure you do. We understand.

^Sure you do.
So, by having an open mind about consoles makes as much sense as subscribing to both Netflix and Xbox LIVE, eh? Your logic, it seems flawed.
Seriously, not everyone is like annoying fanboys, or in your case, a troll.

Well, I've always been a Nintendo fan, balked at Wii, but the exclusive franchise games were godlike...even without the graphics. That said I'm very excited to see what the Wii U can do, not only in terms of input innovation but also the tech under the hood. That said I'm a MSFT hater, love Sony too, but for different reasons.

Sure, I am trolling - or are you being trolled by your own mind?
Say, how was that 'second wave' of 'core' Kinect titles? Whens the 'third wave' coming? Hardcore gamers bought casual Kinect in hordes - isn't that against your game values? No, you buy what the media says buy, and they are paid off by the big boys. MS had 2 console cycles this gen, you bought both, like a lemming.
But your 'gamer angst' shows just how cynical and independent you are - right?>

I don't think there are any real nintendo haters, just a whole lot of people who hate their new focus on casual gamers who feel abandoned

I keep an open mind about it. New stuff from Nintendo? Sony? Microsoft? If it looks interesting, I buy it.
I'm with this guy. Blind fanboy-ism or hatred towards anything is pretty damn stupid.

This thread makes no sense. What is there about the Wii U as yet that could change anyone's mind about anything?
This isnt just about the wii u but nintendo in general.. last time i brought out the hate tanks was when wind waker was announced but eventually that became my favorite zelda. Ever since i reserve judgement until i try it. Everytime nintendo pulls a "what the?!?!" Such as the n64 controller to the wii and now wii u i have always initially doubted especially with the gamepad however in the end i usually am proven wrong. I hope they contunue to do so.

The Wii U may not be as innovative as the Wii, but in terms of design and progression it's doing things that no other console is doing, and that's certainly what the gaming industry needs. How many of the people on these boards are complaining about how stale the industry is, but at the same time are complaining about the Wii U?
I turned into a Nintendo hater thanks to the Wii. I was a N64 over PS gamer and a Gamecube over PS2 (at first) buyer. Then Wii came along and screwed that up. Then 3DS and now Nintendo thinks shoehorning Mario/Zelda into third party games is going to get them higher sales. Mario is literally their biggest money whore now and I am done with Nintendo.

At least 3,728 prisoners in the United States will spend the rest of their lives in prison for non-violent offenses according to an American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) study published on Wednesday.
The study found that 79 percent of these prisoners were convicted of nonviolent, drug-related crimes and 20 percent of nonviolent property crimes like shoplifting. Most of these cases were sentenced under mandatory minimum guidelines, for which judges had no choice but to dole out a life without parole sentence.
"Fairness has departed from the system," said one judge as he sentenced a nonviolent offender to life in prison without parole.

Report slams US doctors involved in interrogations
An independent panel of military, ethics, medical, public health, and legal experts today charged that U.S. military and intelligence agencies directed doctors and psychologists working in U.S. military detention centers to violate standard ethical principles and medical standards to avoid infliction of harm.
The Task Force on Preserving Medical Professionalism in National Security Detention Centers (see attached) concludes that since September 11, 2001, the Department of Defense (DoD) and CIA improperly demanded that U.S. military and intelligence agency health professionals collaborate in intelligence gathering and security practices in a way that inflicted severe harm on detainees in U.S. custody.
Canadians Seek Dick Cheney's Arrest For War Crimes During Upcoming Visit
An international volunteer organization urged Canadian authorities to arrest former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney on war crimes charges when he visits the 2013 Toronto Global Forum later this week.
Lawyers Against the War argued in a letter dated Sunday that Toronto Police Chief William Blair and Ontario Attorney General John Gerretsen have a duty to arrest Cheney "as a person suspected on reasonable grounds of authorizing, counseling, aiding, abetting and failing to prevent torture."
US defends drone strikes as 'necessary and just' in face of UN criticism
The US government has defended its use of drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen and other countries in front of the UN, telling a chamber full of largely critical nations that in President Obama's view the deployment of unmanned aerial attacks against al-Qaida targets was "necessary, legal and just".
Representatives from a slew of nations, including Brazil, China and Venezuela, lined up to berate the Obama administration for its intensive use of drone strikes. But the US delegation told a plenary meeting of the general assembly in the UN building in New York the president had taken steps to introduce new guidance and standards, and to set out the legal rationale for unmanned weapons deployed in the fight against al-Qaida and affiliated threats.
What's in your smartphone? Blood electronics
Arming militias in a war-torn region of Africa? There's an app for that.
By now, just about everyone has heard of blood diamonds, but you may not know their close cousins: "conflict minerals." They include metals such as gold, tantalum, tungsten and tin, used to fuel your smartphone's vibration mode or help maintain your camera's battery life. In fact, they exist in just about every computer or electronic gadget you own.
They are heavily sourced from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where warlords control mines and smuggling routes, profiting to the tune of more than $185 million annually by terrorizing locals into extracting the metals for little or no pay.
Nearly 30 million people in slavery: index
Nearly 30 million people are living in slavery across the globe, many of them men, women and children trafficked by gangs for sex work and unskilled labor, according to a global slavery index released on Thursday.
The index by anti-slavery charity Walk Free Foundation ranked 162 countries on the number living in slavery, the risk of enslavement, and the strength of government responses to combating the illegal activity.
How the World Health Organisation covered up Iraq's nuclear nightmare
Last month, the World Health Organisation (WHO) published a long awaited document summarising the findings of an in-depth investigation into the prevalence of congenital birth defects (CBD) in Iraq, which many experts believe is linked to the use of depleted uranium (DU) munitions by Allied forces. According to the 'summary report':
"The rates for spontaneous abortion, stillbirths and congenital birth defects found in the study are consistent with or even lower than international estimates. The study provides no clear evidence to suggest an unusually high rate of congenital birth defects in Iraq."

Fill it with smoothies, juice, water, iced coffee, or cold beer straight from the keg and enjoy year 'round, anywhere.

- Electro-polished and laser-etched for a clean, classy look that lasts

Love it so far
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I've had mine for a week and a half now and love it. This was my first stainless steel cup and I plan to buy more.
Holds liquid
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
As advertised! It holds any type of liquid you can think of. Great cup, as far as cups go. No leaks so far! **fingers crossed**
Awesome for outdoor use
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These pints are awesome, they are very sturdy. They do a decent job keeping your drink cold. They would be perfect for camping since they will hold up quite well in the outdoors. I am actually considering getting more of these to replace the plastic cups we use for camping. I have a feeling I will have this thing for some time to come.
Fancy cup
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Nice little pint. Looks cool, keeps your drink cold, doesn't link. Just about everything you need in a cup.
Stainless or go home.
I prefer stainless steel cups for a number of reasons. It's great quality and reasonably priced. However sometimes I want to drink something warm and that's where the new vacuum insulated pint cup comes in handy!

Pretty rad
I like these pint glasses a lot. They are my favorite to drink my every day beverages out of. Smoothies and juices clean up super easy off the steel. I'm a fan.

You might not realize it when you've been trapped behind the same red light for five minutes, but traffic lights, when they're timed and tuned correctly, are actually pretty good at making traffic move. Really.
Most time-lapse videos work by capturing an object from one vantage point as the world changes around it.

Today is "Car Free Day" in the United States, which you probably celebrated by getting in your car and driving to work. It was "Car Free Day" in China yesterday and they celebrated with a giant traffic jam. I don't think it's working.
Russel Gonzalez was stranded on the wrong side of a five-lane Houston freeway back in 1997 when, suddenly, an aging brown Honda Accord pulled out behind him. The man inside spoke a few words in a heavy Nigerian accent, delivered Gonzalez safely to a gas station, and drove off. This month the man reappeared, once again…
IBM's "Commuter Pain 2011" survey doesn't look at the causes of congestion or offer any solutions. Too difficult. Instead, IBM merely asks people how they commute and how much their commute sucks. Congratulations Mexico City, you suck and you know it.
A massive wall of video screens displays real-time images from a network of cameras, while employees look at a million points of data on their own computers. It's Houston's other mission control, and they've now got a new tool to combat congestion: your Bluetooth device.
This is a queue of trucks in the Chungara–Tambo Quemado pass between Chile and Bolivia, crossing which is one of the few ways Bolivians can reach the Pacific Ocean since Bolivia became a landlocked country in 1883, after losing the War of the Pacific. The pass connects Bolivia's Highway 4 with Chile's Highway 11.
Getting caught in traffic sucks for everyone. So New York City Mayor Bloomberg and his crack team of engineers are working on a way to both monitor traffic and get you moving, involving more cameras and a lot of microwaves.
If you're wondering how road traffic's gonna slow you today, don't turn to Google Maps anymore—the site's killed its estimates. Not because it wasn't popular. It turns out those road calculations didn't exactly correlate to, you know, reality.
The shutdown of Los Angeles' Interstate 405 this weekend has led residents to dub the ensuing traffic nightmare "Carmegeddon." One option: JetBlue's $4 flights for the 37-mile trek from Long Beach to Burbank on Saturday. Betcha someone checks three bags.
Los Angeles will shut down the 405 for repairs, causing an apocalyptic nightmare that makes 2012 look like Must Love Dogs. To help spread the word they're asking celebs like Lady Gaga to tweet traffic alerts. Are we being Punk'd?
A Marine reservist was arrested near the Pentagon after parking there overnight with something suspicious in his bag. If not an actual terrorist he is a traffic one. Police are investigating.
These police officers at the Cork Airport in Ireland have it all wrong. First they let 37-year-old Edmond Stapleton steal their SUV at knife-point, and then they let him chase them around the airport. Quick, someone cue up the Benny Hill Music.
There's a story about American-vs-Russian ingenuity that claims NASA spent millions developing a pen that can write upside down, while the Russians merely used a pencil. Though false, there's a truth to it evident in this video of Russians defeating a traffic jam.
Two guys waiting in stop-and-go traffic in Nashville capture an out of shape police officer running through cars in hot pursuit of a suspect. The results are predictably hilarious. [Gawker.TV]
Only about 4% of drivers decide to commit evasive actions when they see a police car turn up near them, and 13% slow down, according to a poll by KBB.com.
Road networks are the blood vessels of a modern city, and Libson's coastal orientation and traffic patterns create the perfect visualization for this metaphor.

At some point in recent years, a ghost in the urban planning machine put up 700 rogue stop signs in Cranston, Rhode Island, (pop. 80,000; stop sign pop. 2,600). They're totally undocumented, and the city can't figure out where exactly they came from. But after an investigation by a specially appointed committee,…

While it may be a little premature to begin evaluating 2011 QB prospects, especially since most teams have just finished their warm up games, we're going to take a look at the top QBs of this year's draft class. This list is derived in part with help from our friends at ESPN's Scouts Inc. As far as I can tell, this class will hardly be as deep as many classes from year's past, most notably the 2004 draft class which produced guys like Philip Rivers, Matt Schaub, Eli Manning, and Ben Roethlisberger. Despite this classes lack of depth, there are certainly still some promising prospects.
Let's take a look.

The Pun Intended Woofer Speaker
these "Woofer" speakers first made their debut a few years ago, we still love them today and wish they were in more constant production. Like many fabulous designs from Sander Mulder, it's not yet available in retail outlets. The studio's main goal is to focus on quality instead of quantity, but they do produce exclusive (and sometimes limited) series of their designs which they sell and ship directly to you, no matter where you are in the world. So that isn't to say that your dreams of owning a Woofer Speaker are shattered, instead there's a good chance man's best friend can be yours, but you'll have to contact Sander Mulder for more information. We could see a small bird being a counterpart "tweeter" speaker to go with the "woofer above, but all animals aside, what other things do you think would be cool to be made into (or cast) as speaker cabinets? Share your creative suggestions below! (via: Design Crisis) (Image: Sander Mulder)

XG-1190 Cassette
Sometimes all you need is a fresh coat of paint. With revised graphics to match SRAM RED eTap components, the PowerdomeX™ is still the most advanced cassette ever made. It's super light, deadly silent and delivers an undeniable performance advantage. The nine cogs in the cog cluster are machined from a single block of high grade tool steel, increasing stiffness while weighing even less than a titanium cassette. Between each cog is a StealthRing™ elastomer to reduce vibration and noise. Cutouts on the rear cog further reduce weight and add stiffness. It's the final piece in the drivetrain puzzle, and paired with the new SRAM Red rear derailleur, it delivers ultra-fast, ultra-quiet shifts that will always put you in the right gear.
- Hollow steel dome makes for the stiffest gear cluster ever at the lightest weight
- Compatible with SRAM RED eTap, RED, Force, Apex
- 11-30t and 11-32t ratios are NOT compatible with SRAM RED eTap
- Heat-treated, high-grade tool steel provides superlative durability and a beautiful finish.
- StealthRing™ elastomers and advanced tooth profiles eliminate vibration and noise for a smooth, silent ride.
- Aluminum cog: lighter, stiffer, stronger due to the design, material and production process.
Euro: €291 - €310

- PowerdomeX™
Inspired from the combination of OG1090 (SRAM RED) and the XG 1099 (SRAM XX) cassettes, the heat-treated high-grade tool steel features hollow construction with CNC-machined cogs and rear cut-outs for reduced weight and added stiffness. The result is the stiffest and lightest cassette we've ever built.
- StealthRing™
Specially designed and incredibly durable elastomers placed in between the cassette's cogs to eliminate vibrations and noise.
- X-Glide™
Imagine being able to shift smoothly at any time, no matter what. We're talking full-power shifts. Up, down, whatever the trail demands. The benefit of the X-Glide drivetrain is simple, yet, when you think about it, incredibly impactful to the way you ride. Flawless shifting means you'll never again compromise your speed and power in unpredictable off-road terrain.
Here's how we did it: TRUVATIV's crank engineers threw away the old standards and developed a new chainring geometry from the ground up. They precisely paired the different-sized chainrings and redesigned where and how the chain engages with the rings. By aligning the chainring pick-up rivets to the chain pivot pin—rather than the middle of the chain link—you get double the shift opportunities.
No more missed shifts, ever. X-Glide puts you in THE RIGHT GEAR, right now.

Industry Reviews
"In a world dominated by Shimano, it's good to be able to ride SRAM Red again. It's easy to forget just how slick SRAM's top-end groupset actually is. The Double Tap shifting snaps into gear superbly every time, and the speed with which you can ship across the block and the smoothness of the trim-free Yaw front derailleur are both marvels. Oh, and it's also the lightest groupset out there. Impressive."
"After spending three months riding it, it's safe to say that eTap is a truly revolutionary component group that raises the bar for what an electronic drivetrain can be. And it may even redefine the way we shift our bikes."

Miller was left to the dogs, as Vancouver has nothing to play for at this point in the year. The netminder had not been lit up this badly so far this season, and his two-game win streak was clearly not meant to extend past Thursday. The 35-year-old veteran can find solace in that his 2.70 GAA and .916 save percentage on the year isn't as bad as this outing would entail.
The veteran netminder will look to build on two straight strong outings, picking up wins over both the Kings and Sharks. He's set to face a Flames club Friday he's handled pretty well this season, posting a 1.99 GAA and .938 save percentage over three matchups. Despite the strong efforts, he's just 1-1-1 on the campaign against Calgary, so offensive support could be a key factor in the contest.
Miller was terrific in this one, withstanding a heavy workload throughout to grab his second straight win. He and Jacob Markstrom have essentially alternated starts since the All Star break, so Monday's strong showing likely won't put a stop to that trend over the final three games of the season.
Miller will get the nod over Jacob Markstrom on Monday, despite the two being in a time share. At 35 years old, Miller is in search of just his 17th win on the season against a Kings squad that is averaging 2.71 goals per game during the 2015-16 campaign.
While Miller's level of play really hasn't dropped this month (2.74 GAA, .921 save percentage), the lack of offensive support (1.60 goals per game in March, last in NHL) has led to a paltry 1-5-1 record. Things likely won't get any better Thursday as the netminder squares off against a Sharks club that he's lost to twice already this season.

Fantasy factor: Texans' Matt Schaub on mini-hot streak, completing 62.3 percent with four TDs and two INTs in last two games. Justin Gage has 36 catches, one TD for Titans.

Fantasy factor: Bobby Engram just keeps rolling for Seahawks with 67 catches, three for TDs. Brian Westbrook, who has six rushing and four receiving TDs, will again carry load for Eagles.

The Pick: Jets 12, Dolphins 9.

The Pick: Rams 31, Falcons 20.
Bills (5-6) at Redskins (5-6)
Time: Noon.
Line: Redskins by 51/2.
Last meeting: Bills won, 24-7, at Buffalo on Oct. 19, 2003.

Now that we have a basic sense of how a Calculations command works, we are going to put it to use to create a base Alpha channel for masking this particular image, and specifically we are going to see some blue screening techniques. So in this case, we've got this image called Model on blue.jpg, it's found inside of the 14 Calculations folder, and you'll notice that she is very warm, and rosy, and light, and her background is very cool, and blue, and so on, so that she has got a high degree of contrast; complimentary color contrast between foreground and background.
You can set the setup in front of a traditional blue screen, or even a green screen if you like, or you can set your model against this sky, a cloudless sky frequently works well, and you can even get away with a clouded sky when you are using the Calculations command. The only thing that you want to make sure is that if you are working with a blue background, you don't have your model set in blue, that she is not wearing blue, for example, wearing blue jeans . If he or she was wearing blue jeans, probably I want to set them against a green background, if masking was your intention. In our case, she does have some blue threads working through the fabric inside of her dress but it's far enough toward the interior, just enough that we have an edge to work with here, so that we should be able to get rid of that stuff fairly easily.
Now she had some blue jewelry, we would just want to make sure that wasn't dangling directly over the blue background that was are set against her flesh, her hair, or something along those lines. So she is going to work out really nicely, where blue screening is concerned. I've got the RGB composite selected here inside the Channels palette. I am going to go up to the Image menu, and we are going to choose the Calculations command, and just as in the previous exercise, I want you to make sure that the first channel, Source 1 is set to Red and the second channel is set to Blue, and Invert is turned-on.
And you should see this by default because by default, the blend mode is set to Multiply so that we are darkening up the background fairly fiercely, and we are leaving some little lightest sort of darkish grays in the foreground. So, when you are working with a blue screen or a green screen, you'll probably want to start off with your blending set to Hard Light, that's just the good place to start. I am not suggesting that it's going to necessarily work for you, it's just a starting point, and in fact, you are going to have to experiment with the blend modes in order to figure out what blend mode produces the best results.
So I am going to go ahead and choose Hard Light. Now most of the time, you leave the Opacity value set to a 100%. I'll show you an exception shortly, but for now, we are going to leave it set to a 100. Now, notice here on the PC, that my blend mode is sticky, meaning than I can arrow through it, so if I press the Down arrow key, I'll advance to the Vivid Light mode that we see here. On the Mac, you can't do that. You have the actually manually select the modes which means this is one of those rare occasions, one of the very, very rare occasions where sticky options here under Windows is actually helpful, instead of just extraordinarily irritating, the way it is normally.
Now when you are working inside of a dialog box, it can actually be helpful sometimes, particularly, when you are cycling through blend modes. So anyway, I've got Vivid Light, you can see that it works pretty nicely. We've got a very light foreground image against a very dark background, and there are those little blue threads showing up as dark as well. We could work with this mode if we wanted to, but I would like to checkout some other ones, here is Linear Light, not nearly as good, here is Pin Light, forget about it, here is Hard Mix, now this is pretty interesting, in that we get either white or black pixels with nothing in between, and it does a pretty good job of differentiating the foreground from the background here, but we've got jagged edges.
Now if I want to reduce the jaggedness of those edges, if I want to soften them up a little bit, I would switch over here to the Opacity value, and I would reduce it. So I press Shift+Down arrow to reduce it to 90%. You can see, now we are introducing some soft edges, and if I go further, we will introduce some more, and more soft edges, and more gray values into the image as well. So our Opacity value is especially useful when combined with Hard Mix, not really useful at all when combined with the other options. All right, I am going to set that back to a 100%. Let's keep cycling down, we've got two modes that are unique to the Calculations and Apply Image dialog boxes. They don't appear inside the Layers palette and those are Add and Subtract, and they do just what they say, you are going to either add brightness value in the case of the Add option right here, which means that you are going to elevate the brightness of the image, or you can subtract brightness values, in this case, I've got my Offset value set to 140, it would really look like this by default, so very, very dark.
We'll come back to Add and Subtract, because they are actually very useful functions here inside the Calculations dialog box. We'll come back to those in a future exercise. Here is Difference, that's going to go ahead, and trace around the edges. It's going to use one channel in order to invert the contents of the other channel of course, and sometimes, it's very good in terms of tracing edges inside the image, other times, not so great like now. And then finally, we've got Exclusion set here, almost never useful inside of this dialog box because it delivers such tepid results.
Let's switch back to Hard Light, and let's up arrow now through the blend modes here. This is hard light, we saw that before. This is Soft Light, actually better. If you check it out here, we've got a fairly light image in the foreground against the fairly dark background, not a heck of a lot of contrast but we do have uniformity, that is the foreground image is more or less uniformly lighter than the background which is a good thing. Up arrow to Overlay a little stronger, then Soft Light but not much. Now let's go up to Lighter Color. Now this is interesting. This is a mistake, actually Lighter and Darker color don't produce any effects, they only produce effects on a full color composite image. They don't work on grayscale images.
So they shouldn't be here inside the Calculations dialog box at all, they got stuck here inadvertently. It's basically what happen in Photoshop CS3. So go ahead and skip them, they never do you any good, that's Lighter and Darker color are always the same as Normal. Here is Linear Dodge, Add in parenthesis, that's because it does the same thing as the Add mode. The Add mode just gives you a few other options to work with. So you can modify the results of the Add mode. You've just got to accept what you get with the Linear Dodge, and this is what Linear Dodge gets you, does the same thing we saw when we choose Add a moment ago.
This is Color Dodge, actually better because the background are little bit darker there. This is green; not so good, this is lighten, bad, this is darker color, non-functioning, this is Linear Burn, gosh! Interesting, that's not going to work for masking. This is Color Burn, a little lighter, a little better than what we had before, but still the dress isn't separating from the background, which means this is Multiply, we already saw that, she just looks freaky, and this is darkened, she just looks freakier. She does look freaky and bad because she is set against a light background. Here is what we want, of all of those, the one that I think looks the best is Color Dodge.
Now Color Dodge isn't necessarily always going to deliver the best results but it often does, so it's definitely one of the ones to check out. So you would basically want to work with your strong modes, meaning your Color Burn and Linear Burn, your Color Dodge and your Linear Dodge, and your Hard Light, your Vivid Light. Sometimes Linear Light is going to come through for you, and then Add and Subtract are extremely powerful. We'll come back to them later, but for now, we'll go with Color Dodge. This looks great to me, this is a nice starting point for our New Channel. So just go ahead and make sure all of your settings are set as you see them on screen right now. It's very important that the first channel is set to Red and the second channel to Blue Invert, then click OK, and you'll generate a new Alpha channel.
I am going to go ahead and name it, mask and I am ready now to go ahead and craft the mask using the Levels command, and an Overlay Brush, and so on, and that's what we will set about doing in the next exercise.

Barton was about the tenth best 1B last year because he doesn't K (higher than Fielder, Posey, Huff in avg points). Victorino was I think top 10 OF last year.
Which side would you prefer?
AIM plz.
Would it be okay if we unsticky the Tailgate thread? You can make periodic updates to keep it on the first page if you'd like. I'll also resticky it once we come to a decision. Having 5 stickies clutters the forum a bit though.

Woodbine: Something Extra repeats in Connaught Cup
ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Something Extra won the Grade 2 Connaught Cup for the second year in a row, giving jockey Eurico Da Silva a sweep of Sunday's two stakes at Woodbine.
Something Extra ($4.20) went straight to the lead and set quick fractions of 22.64 seconds and 45.09 in the seven-furlong turf sprint. Several rivals took a run at him in the stretch, but he held on to prevail by three-quarters of a length over Riding the River, last year's Canadian champion male turf horse.
Upgrade finished another neck back in third, and Valentino Beauty was fourth in a field reduced to nine with the scratch of Artest. The final time was 1:20.54.
"When I warmed him up, he was so relaxed," said Da Silva, who also won Sunday's Marine Stakes on Up With the Birds. "He broke so sharp and was there to run. When they opened the doors, he wanted to be home quick. That's what he did. I knew he was going fast, but he was very happy. He enjoyed himself."
Something Extra collected $120,000 of the $201,600 purse for the partnership of John Menary and trainer Gail Cox.
Something Extra had something extra in the stretch. :)

Rookies have tough road with Packers
Fewer opportunities to make a difference
Green Bay — Given a choice among the players Green Bay Packers general manager Ted Thompson drafted in 2009, you probably would have put your money on defensive lineman B.J. Raji having the biggest impact right away.
Big, strong and quick, Raji, the ninth pick overall, was primed to beef up the Packers' front three.
But Raji missed two weeks of training camp because of a contract dispute and then in the final exhibition game suffered an ankle injury that affected him most of the season. Meanwhile, linebackers Clay Matthews and Brad Jones sped into starting jobs, Jones' the result of a season-ending injury to Aaron Kampman.
Matthews was the gem, overcoming an injury in training camp to lead the team in sacks with 10 and finish third in defensive rookie of the year voting.
Fast forward a year and the playoff-hopeful Packers aren't begging for rookie help anywhere. They would love to have a player develop like Matthews did or mature the way Jones did, but opportunity is what allowed both of them to advance.
This year, there may not be much opportunity.
If there were a line on the 2010 class, offensive tackle Bryan Bulaga would be the favorite, given he's the first-round pick.
But is he really the favorite? He starts his career behind veterans Chad Clifton and Mark Tauscher, who for the past decade have held down the two tackle positions. Bulaga probably will be Clifton's backup, but he wouldn't be the first rookie lineman to spend the year on the bench if things went badly in camp.
"There's a lot I need to work on," Bulaga admitted at the team's rookie orientation camp last week. "Obviously, this new coaching style, coaching ideas; it's a new scheme. There are things you need to adapt to, change to. You're going to face ups and downs."
Bulaga comes from the University of Iowa well-coached, even-tempered and steeped in Midwestern work ethic. That gives him a chance, along with this bit of recent history: 11 of the 14 tackles taken in the first round over the last three years started the majority of their team's games in their first season.
But he has to get a chance first.
Almost every newcomer will have his work cut out to win a starting job when competition begins May 17, the start of organized team activities.
If you had to pick one position at which there might be an opening it would be strong safety. Veteran Atari Bigby won't give up that position, but considering he has missed 12 games over the past two seasons due to injury and played hurt in a handful more, third-round pick Morgan Burnett is closer to the launch pad than the others.
Burnett had 14 interceptions in three seasons at Georgia Tech but like all rookies comes to the Packers with questions about his ability to play at the NFL level. Burnett would be the first rookie to be the designated starter at safety since Nick Collins in 2005.
Another year of college would have better prepared Burnett for the pros, but he elected to come out early. Thompson thought enough of him that he traded up from his spot in the third round to grab him.
"I have to come in and show what I can do, show that I was a great pick," the 6-1 ½ , 208-pound Burnett said. "I have to work hard, train hard and not get laid back, prove I'm a good safety."
Another place where rookies are known to make early contributions is the offensive backfield. When it comes to being a running back, you either can hit the hole or you can't. The biggest adjustment is pass protection.
Sixth-round pick James Starks missed his senior year due to shoulder surgery, but as a two-time 1,000-yard rusher at Buffalo, he's not new to the game. The league is full of young, complimentary backs who rev up in their rookie seasons, but most were coming off strong senior seasons.
Starks isn't.
"I'm on a mission," he said. "I'm going to prove everybody wrong. Those that doubted me, here I come."
The toughest spot for a rookie to make any waves this year will be the defensive line. Raji may not even come back as a starter, depending on the outcome of a felony drug case against end Johnny Jolly. If Raji can't start, how are second-round pick Mike Neal and seventh-round pick C.J. Wilson going to get time?
Based on personnel and the way injuries depleted the position, Thompson probably will keep an additional lineman on the roster. Neal and Wilson are immensely strong run-stuffers who fit the 3-4 mold and could make the rotation.
But it's difficult to play on the defensive line as a rookie. Raji and Jarius Wynn weren't big factors last year, Jolly didn't play much in '06 and Mike Montgomery played sparingly in '05. First-round pick Vonnie Holliday in 1998 was the last draft pick to be a full-time starter on the defensive line.
"I'll find out more about this defense and what I need to work on," Neal said. "There are probably a gazillion things you have to correct before they'll let you on the field."
As for tight end Andrew Quarless and offensive lineman Marshall Newhouse, patience would be recommended for both. Then again, odds tend to change quickly once the season starts.
