This was The Opener here in KY. Angus and I went out to the Honey Hole. I've never seen it like this. We had a bunch of gobblers honoring our calls. It went quiet after sun-up; my theory is the sandwich truck comes by and they all go out on break or something. A little later we had hens come in on us, then a gobbler showed up and started to mount a hen just on the other side of a bush from us. Then there was some serious flogging going on just out of view, then a gobbler showed up less than 10 yards from us and poked his head out. . .
Drat! I could not get my gun up before he was gone. He hung around for a while though-- thought we might call him back in. Funny thing is I nailed a gob in the same exact spot there last year on the Opener, and he never saw me. The diff? Today it was sunny. Last year it was cloudy.
Then another gob came out in the road about 40 yards out. In the past, I've nailed three gobs from that same stretch of road, but this gob found the one spot where it was easy to make me. Curses! Foiled again.
The wind came up. We got up to stretch, and three jakes showed up at the blind. As long as we stayed still, they just stood there watching us, but as soon as Angus reached for his gun. . . Vooom! Gone.

Tracks does have the cool exhaust pipe things on his arms, but they aren't metallic red like they are on Ravage, which I think is hot. If you put the flame decal on him instead of Swerve, I say he should be in vehicle mode. That said, he definitely has the better robot mode compared to Swerve. Frankly, Swerve's just not a great figure when you put it all together. If you put the flame decal on him, I guess he'd be the best choice for vehicle and Tracks for robot.Originally Posted by El Chuxter
All my Alts are in vehicle mode. I just feel like, you know, they're robots in disguise. So, they stay in disguise.

Gullwing High Performance Bushings provides flexibility and easy adaptability for your skateboard trucks. The typical skateboard truck has two bushings on each truck, one that keeps the truck springy for easy turns and a smaller one beneath the kingpin that is easily tightened or loosened to adapt to your style. Tighter trucks work best for mastering tricks while looser trucks are best for carving down the street.
Gullwing High Performance Bushings gives you the best ride every time - hands down! Be sure to change your bushings frequently in order to keep your skateboard responsive to your personal skateboarding style.

Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It must be very shy since it keeps hiding from you.
It's gotten slightly bigger! It must be close to maturing.
Young dragons are relatively defenseless. Their scales don't grow in until right before they mature, and they have almost no strength. Once a hatchling's wings grow in, it marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are usually left alone by their mother and begin to hunt and survive on their own.

Blairstown Center seeks volunteers for Woodcutter's Weekend, Nov. 22-24
Posted November 18, 2002; 10:56 a.m.
The Princeton-Blairstown Center is seeking volunteers for its annual Woodcutter's Weekend, which runs Friday, Nov. 22, through Sunday, Nov. 24, to help prepare its outdoor facilities for the winter.
The nonprofit organization, which was founded by University students and alumni, operates educational programs for urban youth and their families at its center in Blairstown in northwestern New Jersey. The center needs volunteers to help provide maintenance for its trails and grounds, chop and stack wood, and perform other tasks.
The center will provide free lodging and meals for volunteers, who are invited to arrive Friday evening for a social gathering before the service projects begin Saturday morning. Seats are available on a chartered bus that will depart Dillon Gym on Saturday at 7:27 a.m., and a bus will be available for volunteers wishing to return that night.
To volunteer or obtain more information, contact the center's administrative office at (609) 258-3340, or call the Blairstown camp at (888) 344-9763.

Dotted with crimson cranberries, the streusel topping adds a crunchy touch to mashed sweet potatoes. All the sweetness comes from either the potatoes or cranberries, because no sugar is added.
Substitute a 23-ounce can of sweet potatoes, drained, for the cooked fresh sweet potatoes. Mash as directed in step 2.
To make this a day ahead of time, follow directions through step 2. Cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Bake uncovered 45 to 60 minutes or until heated through and streusel mixture is golden brown.

It is cute. I like the colors.
nice start........
Turn it into a Victorian like block. Add some ric rac/bric brac and pearls, lace. You could run some colorful thread thru the stictches. You could start with a lacey center then run the colorful thread out and about. Jazz it up and you have a cute little wall hanging! I really think it's the start of something good! You're just not done with it.
don't fret over colors or your stitches. it will all look lovely when you're done. Looks good so far!!

Errol Zimmerman vs. Nicolaj Falin Set For August 28 in Germany
- Written by Rian Scalia
Errol Zimmerman and Nicolaj Falin are set to face off in Spergau, Germany on August 28 at the 4th Merseberger Fight Night event. German website groundandpound.de reported the news.
Originally scheduled to be Stefan Leko taking on Nicolaj Falin, Leko was forced out of the bout with injuries sustained from his recent loss to Catalin Morosanu last month. Errol Zimmerman is stepping in to replace the injured Leko. Zimmerman must be chomping at the bit to fight, as he is coming off a cancelled fight in June. Before that, Zimmerman had won two fights so far this year, topping Zinedane Hameur Lain and Mourad Bouzidi in fights where he dominated the opposition. Zimmerman has made 2011 a successful year so far, unlike 2010 where he lost 3 fights, including a rather lackluster showing against Ewerton Teixeira.
Nicolaj Falin is coming off a first round knockout loss to Mark Miller in May at the United Glory Finals. Falin would definitely like to get back in the win column and doing it with a win over a highly regarded opponent like Zimmerman would most likely open some doors for the German.
Also on the card will be a one night, 4 man tournament featuring Alban Ahmeti, Omar Tekin, Fernando Groenhart and Baker Barakat.

The soccer and football fields at The Out-of-Door Academy clucked with excitement Nov. 20, as students chased, high-fived and blocked each other in friendly flag-football competitions, as ODA hosted its annual Turkey Bowl competition.
"This is the best day, ever," said avid football fan, Samantha Albano, as her team readied to take the field. "We all come together as a community and have fun — put the books away.
"I'd say we were playing to win, but we're just trying to get a touch down," said Samantha, when asked about her team's performance for the day.
After students competed with each other, ODA seniors took on faculty members. They lost the battle, however, with faculty beating the seniors 32 to 26.
The Turkey Bowl started in the early 1990s, when former ODA history teacher Mike Sprout brought a family tradition — playing football after the Thanksgiving Day meal — to the school.
Named in honor of Sprout's own "Turkey Bowl" competitions, ODA began the football contest for middle-school students. Since that time, it has evolved into a cherished event by upper- and middle-school classes.

Simple Blessings: Hominy Grill chef Robert Stehling celebrates the holiday harvest family-style
As a child, long before opening his acclaimed Southern restaurant, Hominy Grill, Robert Stehling would help drag a big, wooden picnic table indoors for Thanksgiving dinner. His mother grew up on a farm, so his family—Grandma, Pa, and the rest of the bunch—enjoyed straightforward dinners, usually turkey, green beans, sweet potatoes, and lots of pies and cakes for dessert.
His parents kept an organic garden at their Kernersville, North Carolina, home, supplying a fresh bounty for the Stehling children: Wendy, Robert, and John. Their mother cooked—always—until one Thanksgiving when Robert managed to nudge her out of the kitchen. He was back home from his first restaurant job at Crook's Corner in Chapel Hill, a cathedral of Southern cuisine, and he couldn't wait to show off. "He wasn't frying baloney anymore," laughs John. "We all kind of sucked it up like sponges: my dad, me, and even Mom."
Later, working in New York, Robert would play host to the "restaurant orphan club," those who, like himself, had no money to return home for the holidays. The menu: occasionally turkey mole, but mostly turkey gumbo left to warm all day on the stove. "Everybody would bring something—usually cheese or booze," Robert says with a grin.
He's come a long way since then, establishing a nationally acclaimed Charleston institution and winning James Beard Best Chef: Southeast in 2008, but those simple occasions certainly made their mark as the young chef learned to work within his means. "Be smart, be grateful, make the most of what you have, and borrow what you may," he says. Today, those tenets continue to hold true as Robert, his wife, Nunally, and their seven-year-old daughter, Carson, welcome John and his wife and children into their Wagener Terrace home for a relaxed, family-style Thanksgiving supper.
The Challenge
Chef: Robert Stehling, Hominy Grill
Goal: Prepare a family-friendly Thanksgiving meal using simple, fresh ingredients
Number of guests: 4 adults, 3 children
Per person budget: $15
Menu: Appetizers: Crackers with hot pepper jelly and goat cheese, oysters on the half shell Main: Grilled turkey with bacon stuffing Sides: Cabbage and fried apples, dirty rice, creamed mustard greens, sweet potato pone Dessert: Buttermilk pie and carrot cake
The meal brings John, wife Julie, and their young sons, Hank (age five) and Milo (three), to town from Asheville, where the couple owns Early Girl Eatery, a progressive restaurant named after a popular hybrid tomato. Known for its reliance upon locally raised produce and vegetables, Early Girl deviates from the usual Southern repertoire, offering vegan burgers and baked tempeh alongside shrimp and grits or biscuits and gravy.
Helping to keep the dinner economical, John and Julie unpack tidings from the North Carolina mountains: cabbage grown at Camp Celo in Burnsville and honey crisp apples from Hendersonville, the same fruit bought by the bushel for use in applesauce and apple chutney at Early Girl. "It's nice stuff with the fall coming on," says Robert. "The cabbage almost has a woodsy flavor to it, and the cool air really brings out the apples."
The group settles in for appetizers: table water crackers layered with goat cheese and homemade hot pepper jelly. The warmth from the ancho and chipotle chiles balances the cheese in this creamy, robust snack that even draws the attention of young Milo.
John washes the oysters purchased from Crosby's Seafood before passing them to his brother, who with the skill of a cat burglar easily unlocks a dozen or so. Brackish, mild, and buttery, the oysters contrast nicely with the sweet heat of the pepper jelly. Since they've opted for less expensive crackers, greens, and turkey, the Stehlings splurge on the selects and a bottle of sparkling wine to accompany the appetizers. "A glass of champagne and a couple of oysters go a long way to making you feel like you're putting on the ritz," says Robert.
The Shopping List
- Dried ancho chiles $2.49
- Canned chipotle chiles $1.99
- Certo $3.69
- Crackers $3.79
- Goat cheese $3.99
- Oysters $6.00
Final Cost: $21.95
From the Pantry
- Sugar
- Apple cider vinegar
see Hot Pepper Jelly recipe below...
Main Dish
"Turkey and bacon make a good combination," notes Robert, "almost like a club sandwich." Grilling is an apt method for preparing the bird, which emerges perfectly golden in hearty portions that serve as the feast's showpiece. The meat is sliced to reveal the stuffing, and the chef carries the smoky-scented turkey to the table, where his family has gathered in bare feet and socks. Their Thanksgiving meal, like most, is a tribute to convention and comfort. And though he has slightly reinvented the turkey, Robert stresses that keeping with tradition is an important part of the celebration.
The Shopping List
- Turkey $15.90
- Bacon $3.79
- Carrots $0.89
- Celery $1.49
- Onion $1.00
- Garlic bulb $1.00
- Fresh thyme $1.99
- Caul fat $1.25
Final Cost: $27.31
From the Pantry
- Salt and pepper
see Grilled Turkey with Bacon Stuffing recipe below...
Robert recently rekindled a love affair with his cast-iron skillets, returning to the frypans after many moons apart. He cooks the apples and cabbage together, creating a sort of hot sauté salad. A quick sear gives the dish its crunchy, crispy texture. He also fashions his sweet potato pone in a skillet, the potatoes peeled and grated to resemble matchsticks.
The dirty rice recipe has been passed down from the late Bill Neal, Robert's renowned boss at Crook's Corner. As for the mustard greens, Robert dresses them up his favorite way: with salty pork, ample chicken stock, and heavy cream for deep, essential flavor, simmering the greens until they are pillowy soft.
The Shopping List
- Apples $7.00
- Shallots $1.30
- Cabbage $1.00
- Sausage $2.69
- Onions $2.00
- Bell peppers $2.50
- Eggplant $1.69
- White rice $0.99
- Red wine $7.49
- Turkey stock $2.99
- Tomato purée $1.05
- Ham hock $1.01
- Mustard greens $2.99
- Chicken stock $2.59
- Heavy cream $2.39
- Sweet potatoes $1.88
- Oranges $5.07
- Lemon $0.43
Final Cost: $47.06
From the Pantry

- Bacon fat (leftover from bacon stuffing)
- Butter
- Brown sugar
- Cinnamon
- White pepper
- Ginger
see all recipes below...
Robert was raised with a sweet tooth, his mother being a whiz with cakes, pies, and goodies. Today, Hominy Grill is known for its buttermilk pie, a dreamy dessert with custard and nutmeg. Thanksgiving at the Stehling home, like in Kernersville, also necessitates cake. Today, he has baked a triple-layer carrot cake with a filling that oozes from between layers and spills onto serving plates. Indeed, the Stehlings' cake runneth over.
The Shopping List
- Pecans $2.59
- Cream cheese $1.65
- Buttermilk $1.99
- Pie shell $2.19
Final Cost: $8.42
From the Pantry
- Butter
- Brown, white, and powdered sugars
- Soybean (vegetable) oil
- Eggs
- Baking soda
- Cinnamon
- Salt
- Flour
- Vanilla
- Carrots (leftover from bacon stuffing)
- Lemon (leftover from sweet potato pone)
- Nutmeg
see Carrot Cake and Buttermilk Pie recipe below...
The Results:
We give thanks to Hominy Grill chef Robert Stehling for successfully dishing out a Thanksgiving feast for seven on a budget of $105.
Amount Spent: $104.74

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett will share a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
Grand Slum
When you ponder a single-season grand slam, your mind typically imagines the scenic wild areas at which you'll chase each subspecies: dense cypress swamps, Midwestern woodlands, dry mesquite flats and broad mountain vistas.
Or a run-down subdivision.
Yep, that's how my single-season slam quest started many years ago. Some guys I'd met at the NWTF Convention convinced me to try their Osceola hotspot, and I'd agreed. Turns out the hotspot was a 6-acre central Florida woodlot that connected to a wildlife refuge surrounded by the dumpy subdivision. If you looked behind your set-up tree, you could see the guy's back door, and if you listened closely, you could hear someone's stereo blaring Bon Jovi. (I'd expected Skynyrd in Florida, but whatever.)
We struck out at the "hotspot" in the morning, and I began to suspect that my host knew very little about turkey hunting. Then he took us to a golf course he claimed to have permission to hunt, and I confirmed my fears. Thankfully, we struck out there, but my "guide" wanted to return to his tiny honey hole for the afternoon.
"They love to drift in and out of there," he said. "It doesn't look like much, but it always produces."
I wasn't convinced. I knew I didn't want to visit the golf course again, but I figured some nearby public wildlife areas might hold more promise than the subdivision gar-hole. Did I put some faith in my host or put my foot down and strike out on my own?
What would you have done? Post your decision below.

OXFORD – Tennessee's fixation on Marshall Henderson might have helped the Vols for a half, but the Henderson legend grew even more Thursday night.
No. 23 Ole Miss, in its first game as a ranked team, was held to 18 points in the first half and trailed by seven at the break. But the Rebels, fueled by Henderson, scored 44 points in the second half to win 62-56 before a sellout crowd of 9,206 at Tad Smith Coliseum.
Leading up to Thursday, Tennessee players spoke openly of their desire to clamp down on Henderson after he scored 32 against them in Knoxville and was more expressive than they would have preferred.
In the rematch, he scored 24 in the second half, 28 for the game, going 6 for 15 from 3-point range. Ole Miss survived first-half foul trouble from its top two rebounders, Murphy Holloway and Reggie Buckner, and won in spite of being out-shot from the floor and the free throw line and outrebounded by 11.
Henderson said his Twitter feed was overrun by people telling him of comments coming from the Vols camp. He attributed them to an assistant coach as well as Tennessee guard Josh Richardson. Vols forward Jarnell Stokes spoke during the week about getting physical with Henderson to stop him from scoring – and stop his talking that way.
If Henderson was less talkative on the court he was more talkative later.
"I thought I would take a game off from talking and just let the game talk this time," he said. "We'll beat them 10 times out of 10."
For now it's just 2 for 2 this season and three straight wins over the Vols overall. Ole Miss (16-2, 5-0) goes for a ninth-straight win and a program-best 6-0 SEC record on Saturday night at Auburn.
The Vols (9-8, 1-4 SEC) did crank up the defense – at least for a time – and held Ole Miss to 17.4 percent shooting over the first 20 minutes.
Henderson was 0-for-4 from the floor – all 3-point attempts – during that time, but found his rhythm after halftime.
Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said it was about Henderson getting hot, not the Rebels getting him better shots.
'that crazy leaner'
"Nothing really changed. I didn't think they defended him any differently this game than the last game," Kennedy said. "I thought he had some good looks in the first half, and he missed them. Once he got going, made that crazy leaner, then he just got combustible and started knocking down shots."
Henderson was 6 for 11 from the arc in the second half include a shot from the deep wing after Buckner rebounded a missed free throw by Holloway. That made it 56-53 Ole Miss with 4 minutes, 9 seconds left.
Holloway and Buckner were more active as Ole Miss shot 53.8 percent in the second half.
Tennessee coach Cuonzo Martin said he didn't think the last 20 minutes were about a letdown from the Vols (9-8, 1-4 SEC).
"It's a credit to (Henderson) for staying aggressive, staying in the game, and being ready when his time comes," Martin said. "Once he makes a couple and gets his head up, he's rolling."

The Dow dipped 125 points before paring some losses as investors digest earnings reports.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was off 97 points at midday, to 15457. The Standard & Poor's 500 was at 1682.58, down more than 7 points or 0.45%. The U.S. benchmark crude oil price lost $1 to $104.50 per barrel.
The biggest S&P loser: Expedia (EXPE), down 25%, after missing quarterly earnings and revenue expectations. Starbucks (SBUX) was a notable winner, up more than 6%, after reporting good results and a strong outlook.
Zynga (ZNGA) was a notable loser, down more than 16%, after reporting earnings and saying it won't invest in U.S. gambling. Among most active stocks, Bank of America (BAC) was down nearly 1%. Solar Winds (SWI) was down more than 21%, and Tempur Sealy International (TPX) is down 11.5%.
"I really think today is about traders reducing risk into the week ahead," Robert Savage, chief strategist at FX Concepts and CEO of Track.com, tells Barrons.com, pointing to short-term correlations that explain some selling. In his daily missive, Savage writes,
"This is Friday, this is summer, this is a blah market. Beware the inherent dangers of a summer-thinned trading session full of more earnings stories and less wisdom to compete against the tug of significant macro headwinds."
Savage lists the headwinds thusly:
"The borderline psychosis of a market complacent that central bankers like Bernanke can solve any market misstep increases the blah blahs of today. China cuts excess capacity, oil drops, Japan sees inflation and JPY gains, Italian borrowing costs drop to May levels but face a challenging next week as summer trading faces significant supply – and the EUR falls. Greece gets the EU sign-off for E5.8bn tranche but gets warned it has to fund itself going forward despite an obvious funding gap. Hong Kong sees a surge in USD loans and the world seems at ease with the FOMC likely doing nothing in July and QE chugging forward despite every evidence from Fed speakers for a shift in September. "
We're roughly at the halfway point in second quarter earnings reporting season. Gregory Harrison, an analyst at Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S, offered this update on Standard & Poor's 500 earnings results:
"52% of the S&P 500 companies have reported second quarter 2013 EPS. Of the 259 companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 that have reported earnings to date for Q2 2013, 67.6% have reported earnings above analyst expectations, 9.3% reported earnings in line with analyst expectations and 23.2% reported earnings below analyst expectations. In a typical quarter (since 1994), 63% of companies beat estimates, 17% match and 21% miss estimates. Over the past four quarters, 67% of companies beat estimates, 10% matched and 24% missed estimates."

Giants have no cap and going to lose Osi along with a few cuts like S Phillps. The GM has said that they would put the restricted tag on him. 1st round pick would be the cost if Miami offers him a deal the Giants cannot match. I think this is Miami's best option with the #12 pick as it stands. But I would still try to trade down and then offer a great deal to Cruz.
Giants just do not have the cap to keep the wealth of talent that they have right now. But that does not mean they won't replace those players quickly. They have proven to be great at scouting talent and finding great players from the draft. I think the Giants will have 2 first round picks this year. Someone will offer Cruz a deal they cannot match due to cap and other players.
Cruz is a RFA, and would cost a 1st and a 3rd AND 10+M a year.
Think I would rather roll with Wallace and those picks personally.
But I thought the tender about was just a 1st round pick.
I would prefer to let Hartline walk and use the 4-5 mil for him to go towards securing Bowe and Cruz. We would not have a 1st, but would have two very good WR's and we have the ammo to fill in other holes during the draft.
Bowe and Cruz would give Tanny some great targets and keep defenses honest.
Oops, I did that wrong. <

I thought just by the look of the satellite photos they were showing that Hurricane Katrina still was a cat-4.Especially when they announced how high the storm surge was.I wonder if Katrina was undergoing an eye wall regeneration phase right before landfall.
Absolutely was. See here for a power point we presented at last years Interdepartmental Hurricane Conference about the evolution of Katrina's eyewalls and observations supporting a double eyewall behavior. This has a lot do to with the extensive coverage of hurricane force winds and the amount of coastline devistated by the surge from a cat 3 (wink,tongue in cheek).

git-revert - Revert an existing commit
git revert [--edit | --no-edit] [-n] [-m parent-number] [-s] <commit>
Given one existing commit, revert the change the patch introduces, and record a new commit that records it. This requires your working tree to be clean (no modifications from the HEAD commit).
Note: git revert is used to record a new commit to reverse the effect of an earlier commit (often a faulty one). If you want to throw away all uncommitted changes in your working directory, you should see linkgit:git-reset[1], particularly the --hard option. If you want to extract specific files as they were in another commit, you should see linkgit:git-checkout[1], specifically the git checkout <commit> — <filename> syntax. Take care with these alternatives as both will discard uncommitted changes in your working directory.
Commit to revert. For a more complete list of ways to spell commit names, see "SPECIFYING REVISIONS" section in linkgit:git-rev-parse[1].
With this option, git-revert will let you edit the commit message prior to committing the revert. This is the default if you run the command from a terminal.
Usually you cannot revert a merge because you do not know which side of the merge should be considered the mainline. This option specifies the parent number (starting from 1) of the mainline and allows revert to reverse the change relative to the specified parent.
With this option, git-revert will not start the commit message editor.
Usually the command automatically creates a commit with a commit log message stating which commit was reverted. This flag applies the change necessary to revert the named commit to your working tree and the index, but does not make the commit. In addition, when this option is used, your index does not have to match the HEAD commit. The revert is done against the beginning state of your index.
This is useful when reverting more than one commits' effect to your index in a row.
Add Signed-off-by line at the end of the commit message.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's effort to cut dealer reserve is sparking a fair amount of online debate.
For instance, bloggers have reacted to a statement from dealer groups warning that reducing dealers' ability to set customers' final interest rates would cut competition among lenders. That, in turn, would raise prices for consumers.
The CFPB contends that dealer discretion creates the opportunity for discrimination.
Jeff Sovern, a law professor at St. John's University in New York, said in a post on the Consumer Law & Policy Blog of the Public Citizen's Consumer Justice Project that historically, industries often overestimate how much new regulation will increase consumer costs.
Chris Willis, an Atlanta-based attorney whose clients include banks in auto lending, exchanged online comments with Sovern. Willis, who works for the Ballard Spahr law firm, also writes articles for a blog called the CFPB Monitor.
Willis said an auto purchase has many other elements besides the interest rate. Depending on the down payment and the negotiated price of a car, a customer could pay a higher interest rate and still end up with a better deal than a customer who paid a lower rate, he said.
The exchange was cordial on both sides. Other bloggers weighed in, too. Willis called it "an interesting back-and-forth."
No doubt, there will be a lot more on this topic.

The stakes were lower Sunday night in New Bedford than they were back in 1968 when Boston mayor Kevin White brought James Brown to the Garden for a televised concert often credited with keeping the city from going up in flames the night after MLK's assassination. At 73, Mr. Dynamite isn't quite as explosive, and neither are there any Maceos, Bootsys, or Wesleys in his current band of Soul Generals. But there was something special about seeing a living legend get down in an intimate venue like the 1200-seat Zeiterion Theatre.
After the customary introduction by long-time MC Danny Ray, Brown — dressed in a red sequin-and-fringe tuxedo, hair sheening and unmoving — took over, pointing, screaming, and directing the 12 Generals, including his son Daryl on guitar, with the lightning wrist flicks and snaps you've heard about in PBS specials. There were four female back-up singers plus two titillating "dancing stars" (NBA cheerleaders on break? Local strippers?), a singer/hypeman named RJ, and Brown's wife, a buxom redheaded soul belter named Tomi Rae who looked to be a foot taller and a few decades younger than her husband. Over an hour and a half, they couldn't have played more than eight songs — too many long instrumental breaks and repeated introductions, not enough Brown — before the Godfather of Soul left the stage, sans collapse. The crowd hadn't had enough yet, chanting "James Brown, James Brown" long after it became clear that there wasn't going to be an encore.

Thanks to kroah for setting up the linux-hotplug project and mailing list. I just put some stuff onto the homepage, since otherwise it's a bit painful to find; and sent out a list query for help generating some integrated docs for all the hotpluggable drivers on Linux. (XSLT/Docbook is my preferred solution; it's not exactly the kind of problem the kernel docs are set up to address.)
This promises to be an interesting project, although it's inherently a complex architectural problem of the type I'm not sure I know Linux has addressed before. If you want most devices to autoconfigure when you connect them to Linux, that can mean changes all over the place. Right now it's been seen to behave pretty well for USB, PCI, and networking, but it's a bit thin on integration testing and on system docs.

Keep in mind that we are talking present time. This kid should continue to get even better. We might have hit the god damned JACKPOT with this player!!!!
I have this kid as an above average QB right now. His play demonstrates it. He played like **** in week one vs. a great Texans defense in his first ever start. Since then he has played well for the most part. Our two wins the kid has no turnovers. Thats obviously the key to our success. When he dosent turn the ball over we will be tough as hell to beat.
Against Arizona, we saw him make every throw on any route you wanted to see. He can make them all. This week, I was blown away with how well he moved in and out of the pocket. He made some great decisions today as well as some great throws. His poise is outstanding as well. He seems to have command out there. Obviously, playing in the same system as he did in college is to his benefit, but this kid has proven he has all the tools. The sky is the limit.
Lets run this list..... this is mine, make your own if you wish.
1) Fitzpatrick - Totally marginal starter.
2) Sanchez - Duh. Sanchez blows. You know how hard it is in the NFL today to not complete at least 50% of your attempts. So hard that only Sanchez hasnt done that this season.
3) Weeden - He is looking much better than week 1, but he still cant **** with Tannebeast
4) Dalton - Tannehill's ginger bitch today. Lauren texted Ryan after the game saying she is putting on a red wig so he can smack that ass just as hard when he gets home.
5) Gabbert - blows
6) Locker - I count him as the starter since he would be if not injured.
7) Palmer - Washed up. Never the same since tearing up his knee
8) Cassel - Hot garbage
9) Romo - I would say he is the most overrated QB in the league, if not for some of the guys in his division
10) Vick - Overrated fumble and INT machine. That team is good enough to win it all with Tannehill. Just think if they had a bonafied elite QB...... Dream team
11) Bob Griffin the turd - OVER----RATED!!! Got his **** smacked by the Falcons today.... tryin to matchup with Matty Ice... GET REAL!!!!
12) Cutler - Another overhyped guy. Wait till it gets clutch time and he throws 17 picks or gets injured
13) Ponder - I like this player. He could develope into a solid QB. He's no Tannebeast though.
14) Scam Newton - Hype. Put a towel on your head and sit the **** down. SuperScam.
15) Josh Freeman - They need to draft another QB. Very marginally mediocre player.
16) Wilson - Finding his way to the bench soon from what Mort was saying this morning. Total meh.
17) Bradford - Very average. Rookie year may turn out to be his best.
18) Kolb - Hes Kolb.
So that leaves me already ranking Tannebeast as the 14th best QB in the league. Not too bad young man. To be honest, there are a couple of guys I wont have a problem putting him ahead of if he continues to play well for the rest of the season. I simply cant put him ahead of any of the elites after even a whole season, but there are a couple of guys he could certainly pass up who havent etched their name into that top tier yet.
EDIT: Adds to the list post OP.....
Matthew Stafford
Philip Rivers
Alex Smith
Matt Schaub

The recent actions by the two bomber brothers was what Obama had in mind when he claimed America had a Muslim heritage?
Do you believe this bombing is the end of these perpetrators killing Americans? I think it's just the beginning. I wouldn't give a plugged nickel to be living in any community with a mosque. But then, I wouldn't want to live near any church with a minister like Wright, or Jackson, or Sharpton.
When you see pictures of muslims wearing t-shirts with pictures of the 9-11 attacks printed on them, how can we continue to ignore the primary Islamist belief that we are all infidels and must be annihilated, in similar fashion as Israel?
While many are waiting to see what info gets gleaned from their prisoner, should he survive his wounds, wouldn't it be nice for a change to just get one muslim mosque to start preaching against the 9-11 attackers, the Ft. Hood killings, and this bombing in Boston?
Here's a 'bit' from my files on the subject that serves as a reminder for all of us.
MUSLIM HERITAGE IN America :
Have you ever been to a Muslim hospital, heard a Muslim orchestra,
seen a Muslim band march in a parade, witnessed a Muslim charity,
shaken hands with a Muslim Girl Scout, seen a Muslim Candy Striper,
or seen a Muslim do anything that contributes positively to the American way of life ????
The answer is no, you did not.
Just ask yourself WHY ???
Barack Obama, during his Cairo speech, said:
"I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America's history."
Dear Mr. Obama:
Were those Muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first landed?
Funny, I thought they were Native American Indians.
Were those Muslims that celebrated the first Thanksgiving day?
Sorry again, those were Pilgrims and Native American Indians.
Can you show me one Muslim signature on the United States Constitution?
Declaration of Independence ?
Bill of Rights?
Didn't think so.
Did Muslims fight for this country's freedom from England ? No.
Did Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in America ?
No, they did not. In fact, Muslims to this day are still the largest traffickers in human slavery..
Your own half-brother, a devout Muslim, still advocates slavery himself,
even though Muslims of Arabic descent refer to black Muslims as "pug nosed slaves."
Says a lot of what the Muslim world really thinks of your family's "rich Islamic heritage,"
doesn't it Mr. Obama?
Where were Muslims during the Civil Rights era of this country? Not present.
There are no pictures or media accounts of Muslims walking side by side with Martin Luther King, Jr.
or helping to advance the cause of Civil Rights.
Where were Muslims during this country's Woman's Suffrage era? Again, not present.
In fact, devout Muslims demand that women are subservient to men in the Islamic culture.
So much so, that often they are beaten for not wearing the 'hajib'
or for talking to a man who is not a direct family member or their husband.
Yep, the Muslims are all for women's rights, aren't they?
Where were Muslims during World War II?
They were aligned with Adolf Hitler.
The Muslim grand mufti himself met with Adolf Hitler,
reviewed the troops and accepted support from the Nazi's in killing Jews.
Finally, Mr. Obama, where were Muslims on Sept. 11th, 2001?
If they weren't flying planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon
or a field in Pennsylvania killing nearly 3,000 people on our own soil,
they were rejoicing in the Middle East.
No one can dispute the pictures shown from all parts of the Muslim world
celebrating on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and other cable news networks that day.
Strangely, the very "moderate" Muslims who's asses you bent over backwards to kiss in Cairo, Egypt
on June 4th were stone cold silent post 9-11.
To many Americans, their silence has meant approval for the acts of that day.
And THAT, Mr. Obama, is the "rich heritage" Muslims have here in America ..
Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention the Barbary Pirates.
They were Muslim.
And now we can add November 5, 2009
the slaughter of American soldiers at Fort Hood by a Muslim major who is a doctor and a psychiatrist
who was supposed to be counseling soldiers returning from battle in Iraq and Afghanistan ..
That, Mr. Obama is the "Muslim heritage" in America.

I just did a search for a poem we had to recite as pledges when I was at Penn State.
Sure enough, the poem was in a Thanksgiving thread....
So, here it is, back to the top.
That poem, "The Bridge" is indeed the reason RTF exists today and continues to exist.
Happy Thanksgiving!

The Con Brio ADS 200 can be considered one of those rare Holy Grail pieces of vintage synth technology. Released in 1980, the ADS (Advanced Digital Synthesizer) 200 was well ahead of its time - yet only two were reportedly made and at a price tag of $30,000 each! The ADS 200 followed up on the heels of the original ADS 100 of 1980 (only one made, never sold) which was a very large and high end analog synthesizer consisting of a dual manual splittable keyboard (microtonally tunable), programming interface, a separate TV monitor (for envelopes) and roll-around 'control cube' disk drive with computer hardware. The ADS 200 sought to become more commercially viable by combining the whole package into a single (but very big) all-in-one version. The original ADS 100 was most notably used for making some of Star Trek's motion picture sound effects.
The ADS 200 featured 64-oscillator additive synthesis and real-time sequencing via four track sequencer combined with CV and gate interfaces, phase modulation (CZ-like), frequency modulation (FM with 256 operators in any configuration), nested phase and frequency modulation and a 16 stage graphic envelope for both frequency and amplitude. Its display also supported musical notation. Wendy Carlos said that it was the most sensible human interface yet seen on a digital synth. Only one of the two ADS 200 units was ever sold, and has been used by the Moog Cookbook but is currently owned by Brian Kehew.
In 1982 Con Brio released the ADS 200-R, a 32 voice version (expandable to 64) featuring a 16-track polyphonic sequencer with 80,000 note storage capability and editing functions available from the scoring screen. The dual-manual keyboard was replaced by a single manual of 61 keys. Pricing was also reduced to about $20,000, but only one of these models was ever built and sold (also currently owned by Brian Kehew). Con Brio's days came to an end once the digital synthesis revolution (like the much cheaper Yamaha DX synths) took over.

Right now, GM and Dodge are the only manufacturers with systems designed by them specifically for their vehicles. They both warranty the entire system.
They carry the same warranty as any other Ford F250
They are CNG ready and have the upfits on them and the upfits are warranteed same as truck.
Systems were designed specifically for Ford trucks.
Currently, TransitConnect and F250 are available. F150 will have late availability. (late in the year)
I have these units in stock and ready for delivery.
"I'm gonna lean up against you, and you lean up against me. That way we don't hafta sleep with our heads in the mud"Forrest Gump, 1994
Are Ford's CNG trucks available for sale Retail to the general public, or only Fleet & Commercial at this point?
Do you know yet what the payload and range is going to be on the F-150?

Atomic force microscope (AFM) micrograph of arrays niobium islands (red) on gold underlayer (yellow). Arrows illustrate fluctuating superconducting properties of the niobium islands.
Arrays of physically separated niobium islands placed on gold films have been fabricated and shown to enable novel, highly tunable superconducting and metallic states. These systems can be used to enhance our understanding of a variety of inhomogeneous materials.
This development may lower the barriers to broader use of high temperature superconductors on the grid, magnetic chains in electronics, and for applications of other inhomogeneous materials. Designing geometrical arrays of superconducting islands allows for better modeling of the mechanisms behind the properties of these technologically important materials.
Superconductors conduct electricity without efficiency losses, and have potential applications for the electric grid and other energy uses. In this research, supported by BES at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, researchers fabricated arrays of superconducting niobium islands on gold films and measured the temperature-dependence of the electrical resistance as a function of island separation. The results demonstrated that the long-range connectivity between the islands occurs in a way that cannot be explained by current theories. For example, at large island spacing the system seems to systematically approach a zero-temperature metallic state, which cannot be explained by the conventional theory of metals. These results may also explain the appearance of anomalous zero-temperature metallic states in other materials, such as some semiconducting and superconducting thin films. The ability to tune the superconducting properties of the island system through island geometry, spacing, material properties and disorder provides a new way to investigate similar inhomogeneous correlated materials and may open new avenues to design material systems with desired functionality.

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
STARKVILLE – Craig Sword is highly competitive – too competitive, sometimes.
It's a reason Mississippi State's freshman guard has battled the turnover bug and fouls all season. His 73 turnovers are most on the team, and Sword leads the SEC in foulouts with six.
"Craig is trying to figure out what's going on with himself and where he fits in in the team concept," MSU coach Rick Ray said Monday. "Craig Sword is a very competitive kid, but when we get down like we were against Arkansas, he tends to put his head down and just drive the basketball into trouble."
Sword committed a season-high nine turnovers in MSU's 26-point loss to Arkansas last week. Ray said it's not a matter of being selfish, "but that's his way to compete. His way to compete is to steal the ball from the other team, and so he gambles, and that leads to fouls."
But in Saturday's 82-47 loss to Florida, Sword committed no turnovers and was called for just one foul. Ray believes Sword is starting to figure some things out, and Sword agrees.
"Yeah, I'm getting comfortable, and I've been working on it in practice," he said.
Injury updates
It's looking more likely that senior center Wendell Lewis will stay off the court this season and try for a do-over next year.
Lewis suffered a fractured patella eight games into the season, and while there's a chance he could be back in a few weeks, it might be best for him to get completely healthy and shoot for a full season in 2013-14.
"Right now it looks like he's going to be a medical redshirt guy," Ray said. "That's something he needs to make sure he feels comfortable with, and I think he does feel pretty comfortable with that."
He added, "It can't just be because he hurt his knee and now he's going to come back and play. No, do you want to be part of the program and what we're trying to do here?"
Freshman guard Jacoby Davis, who suffered an ACL injury last summer, is participating in non-contact work on the practice court, Ray said. Davis isn't expected to play this season.
Ware sucks it up
Freshman center Gavin Ware is a big guy at 6-foot-9, 270 pounds, but he had a tough night in the paint against Florida's Patric Young and Erik Murphy.
Ware scored 10 points and grabbed three rebounds.
"Any bruises he gave me to the chest, to the back, head, I just had to suck it up and keep playing, because I know if I'd have been out, that would've been a minus for the team," Ware said. "So I just had to suck it up and keep playing."

Pros: Amazing sound, sounds alright even out of poor sources, great case comes with headphones, great isolation, very handsome and sturdy
Cons: Not many user replacable parts, a little pricey, uncomfortable for long listening sessions, some design/aesthetic flaws, very finicky
I couldn't believe my ears the first time I heard the DT1350. It seriously blew me away. I was expecting it to sound pretty good, given all of the positive reception it has been receiving here and elsewhere, but Jesus. I wasn't expecting it to sound *this good. * In fact, I was so awestruck by it that I even thought it might be better than my full-sizes. (It's not, as I later confirmed--though it played a lot nicer with my jazz collection than my Denon AHD2000, to my ears. Mingus's The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady was simply beautiful on the DT1350.)
The Great:
-The sound. I've listened to the Sennheiser HD 25-1 II, which many people seem to agree is the best sounding on-ear sealed portable headphone in production. And they are certainly very good headphones, there's no denying that. I think these are significantly better, however. The bass is more finely controlled (but still deep and heady enough to feel positively seismic at times), the sound stage is wider, the instrument separation is clearer, and all the little hidden details from your favorite tracks are easier to pick out. Other people are far better at describing a headphone's sound signature than I am, so I'll leave the rest to them. Suffice to say, I'm very impressed with the way these headphones perform.
-The DT 1350 does respond very well to amping, I've found--but even plugged straight into my 4-year old iPod Touch they maintain a lot of their positive sonic character. (Update: that said, they do sound quite a bit better amped--I'm not sure that I'd recommend these headphones unless you have an amp to power them, but they'll still do the trick without one.)
-These are very portable. Whether folded flat around your neck or traveling with you in the supplied carrying case, the DT 1350 can pretty much go with you everywhere that you need to go.
-Speaking of the case, it's pretty nice. I use it to not only hold the headphones, but also various adapters, interconnects, and even a couple of hex wrenches. You know--stuff you need everyday. ^^
-They isolate extremely well. If you're like me and earbuds and IEMs cause you physical pain and discomfort, but wish there was a headphone out there that approached their ability to isolate, you're in luck.
The Good:
-Very attractive design. Probably not to everyone's taste, but I find them to be a real joy to hold and look at every time I take them out for use, aside from a few issues I raise below.
-The split headband is nice--I've never worn a headphone that was easier to keep in place than the DT1350.
The Nitpicks:
-So far as I can tell, the only things that are easily replaced by users are the ear pads. In this regard, I wish Beyerdynamic had paid more attention to the design of the HD 25-1 II.
-Kinda sorta pricey. Do your research first before taking the plunge on these.
-They're not the most comfortable cans in the world. Not that anyone in their right mind would expect them to be... But boy, if you get overzealous about listening to them, you're really gonna pay the price for it later when you have to pry these things off your aching skull. The clamping force on these is seriously pretty intense--which no doubt helps with the isolation and whatnot, but ouch. I recommend not wearing them for much longer than 2 hours--4 absolute max, unless you're made of far sterner stuff than I am. (Update: the comfort is considerably better after these break in--or after your head breaks in.)
-While I like the overall design and aesthetics of these headphones, I do have a few niggles with them:
-If you're not careful when swiveling the ear pads flat, you can catch the cord right where it enters the cups between the metal bales (think that's the right term) and the metal band that holds the adjustment sliders. If you did this particularly forcefully and repeatedly over a period of time without realizing it, I imagine that this would not be a good thing.
-The plastic sheaths on the split headband look and feel rather cheap.
-The pleather padding on the underside of the headband is not convincing. Not only do the two strips of pleather seem to be off center on my pair, but they also seem to be unevenly and under-stuffed. The overall effect of the headband is a tad bit on the sloppy side. (Update: One of these crummy pads came nearly completely off on my pair after about 4 and a half months of semi-regular use--so not only are the pads themselves of poor quality, but it would seem that the adhesive that holds them onto the band is sub-par, as well. Obviously, it wasn't anything that a little bit of firm glue couldn't fix, but still, I was pretty annoyed.)
-Finding the sweet spot for these headphones can be a real challenge. Even if you have no troubles finding it once, you may be hard pressed to find it the next time you put them on. And even once you do have them on and have them sounding great, if you're at all like me, you're gonna be constantly readjusting and poking and proding them trying to see if you can make them sound even better. In my experience, the bass is the easiest to recognize aspect of the DT 1350's sound that is affected by how close you are to the sweetspot. Close but not quite and it sounds pretty flabby. Too far away and it's painfully anemic.
The Bad:
-This applies to folks with long, wavy/curly hair only. These will pull on your hair. They will pull your hair out. They will get stuck in your hair. If someone is trying to talk to you and you're trying to take the headphones off so that you can listen to them without seeming rude but you're doing it too fast, they will get caught in your hair and make you look like a complete doofus. You will seriously be standing there with these headphones tangled up and hanging in your glorious mane of hair with someone laughing at you and offering to fetch you a pair of scissors. The key? Remove them slowly, extending the headband as you go.
-The cable makes a lot of noise when it rubs against other objects. Pretty lame for a portable pair of headphones.
In Sum:
The DT 1350s are a pretty finicky and occasionally painful little pair of cans that sometimes make you want to hate them. But then they slip into their sweetspot and they're positively magical, and all is right with the world, for at least a little while. There may be other portable sealed headphones out there that will match your needs and price range better than these will--so, as always, do your homework first. And take into serious consideration the problems that people are bringing up with these headphones. I think they're worth it--you may not think the same.
(Update: Lowered the overall score a little bit and tweaked the other scores to make room for my frustration with the headband pads--read above.)
(Update: It seems to be pretty universally accepted that Beyerdynamic has been having some quality control issues with these headphones--if you get a pair that sounds like it should it's awesome: but it would seem that there are some pairs out there that sound and measure terribly.)

The Kyffhäuserweg Trail is ideal for exploring the myth-enshrouded Kyffhäuser hills in Thuringia. GeoBlicke and HörErlebnis points help walkers get to know the features of this region.
GeoBlicke are vantage points where information boards have been set up to explain what you are looking at. At each Kyffhäuser HörErlebnis point, you can use your mobile phone to call a special number and listen to a different short story about the region. QR codes enable smartphone users to access photos, information and, in some cases, short videos. Less modern but all the more mysterious for it is the mighty Kyffhäuser monument, which towers above the hills where Emperor Barbarossa lies sleeping according to legend. The 81m-high monument, which is accessible to visitors, stands on the remains of Kyffhausen Imperial Castle. Today, the ruins of the lower castle and the world's deepest castle well (176m) are reminders of the powerful past of one of the largest and most formidable medieval castles in Germany. Other cultural and historical treasures along the Kyffhäuserweg Trail are the Königspfalz in Tilleda and the Panorama Museum near Bad Frankenhausen. The trail also explores the natural beauty of the Kyffhäuser hills nature park with its grassy plains in the south and shady beech woodland on the northern foothills.
Tip: Barbarossa's Cave
Situated in the southern fringes of the Kyffhäuser hills, Barbarossa's Cave is the biggest gypsum/anhydrite cave in Europe that is open to the public. Caverns spanning up to 42 metres, strange rock formations on the cave roof and crystal-clear pools can be seen in these fabled grottoes.

By Tiernan Ray
Following a fiscal Q1 report by disk drive maker Seagate Technology (STX) that missed consensus estimates, and a forecast for this quarter's revenue that was also lower than Street consensus, CEO Steve Luczo was kind enough to spend a few minutes chatting with me by phone.
Seagate shares traded down in after-hours by $2.40, or almost 5%, to $47.45.
Before he spoke with me, during a conference call with analysts immediately following the report, Luczo had remarked that the company was happy with the reception of its "hybrid" drives combining traditional magnetic discs with flash, a new "network-attached storage" system, something called "Kinetic open storage," to reduce the cost of cloud computing, and a new technology in development called "shingled magnetic recording," or SMR, which increases the areal density of disk drives.
But he also told analysts that there remains uncertainty among customers because of economic concern and technology transitions, as there has been in past quarters:
Turning to our December quarter outlook, we see the revenue and unit demand environment remaining relatively similar to what we have seen the last several quarters. While global macro economic conditions and technology transitions continue to provide a level of uncertainty with our customers, we are mindful of those factors and we are confident that we can continue to execute effectively.
During our phone conversation, I asked Luczo if his mind was more on macroeconomic concerns or on the broad move of enterprise computing to cloud computing. He said he was more focused on the latter, with economic trends more of the same — improvement here and there, followed by periodic retracements and uncertainty.
"That's why I moved Rocky and Dave into more of a day-to-day role, so I could focus on these sorts of strategic issues," said Luczo, referring to the company's simultaneous announcement this afternoon that Dave Mosley, head of R&D, will become president of "operations and technology," while Rocky Pimentel, head of sale and marketing, is becoming the president of "global markets and customers."
I remarked to Luczo that the cloud, and the rise of flash-based storage, is producing a surge in startup companies with new software and technology for the traditional storage array, companies such as Violin Memory (VMEM), which recently went public, and Nimble Storage, which filed to go public two weeks ago. They are challenging traditional storage array makers such as Seagate's customers, EMC (EMC) and NetApp (NTAP).
"Yes, but actually, I think things are swinging back a bit, back to the traditional enterprise vendors," said Luczo. I asked him if it's possible that the company can transition in this new cloud world from being merely a component and subsystems vendor to being more of a systems vendor, given that the newer architecture of the cloud in some senses removes much of the value from the traditional array, perhaps presenting an opportunity for the drive itself to gain more software smarts.
Luczo concurred. "Yes, I think that's possible, and that's why I want to spend more time on these strategic issues." When I ask Luzco if an evolution of Seagate's capabilities kicked lead to conflict with those system partners such as EMC, he dismisses the suggestion, stating that instead, "I think they'll look to us as technology suppliers" for the new types of wares. "We will see higher margin, and they will save on some of their costs for R&D" as Seagate takes over development of some new higher-order technology functions, suggests Luczo.
Given how Seagate is regarded highly as a shareholder-friendly company, with a promise to pay out 70% of its annual operating cash flow in buybacks and dividends, I asked Luczo how he thinks about demands in the investment community to return more cash to shareholders — not demands on Luczo, mind you; he is in good shape with investors on that score, but more as a theoretical exercise.
Luczo said he and the board and shareholders are in sync, something that allows the company to return excess cash to shareholders while at the same time investing for the future. "I find it so odd that if you are returning cash to shareholders, people flip that around and act as if you no longer have any opportunities to grow your business," said Luczo. "That's just not the case."
Then he added, "there has to be a balance. You have to be in conversation with shareholders and listening to what they want.
