Hi Richard
You can get started pretty cheap. You can purchase ground pork and beef from the butcher so you don't need a grinder. You can purchase all your spices and even some cures at just about any grocery store so you don't need to spend lots of bucks on shipping bulk spices. And if you really want to start small you can delay purchasing a stuffer by either making patty sausages or using a funnel or stuffing horn and casing from your butcher. I don't recommend the funnel route, it can be pretty aggravating but it is doable and can't get much cheaper. I understand wanting to keep the investment down until you are sure that you will be doing it again.
ShooterRick has a good breakfast sausage posted in the forum that you can simply form into patties and fry. Other members have posted recipes for sausages that require neither cures nor casings that are easy to follow and very delicious.
Give it a try, we're here to offer any advice you may or may not want! Like others have said though, once you get started you just can't stop.
Oh btw, we make Andouie sausage down here by simply cubing the meats with a sharp knife and then stuffing into casings.
Good luck, I look forward to your first qview stuffing sausages

Yes Rich, Home made sausages tastes better than store bought with a little practice. Some local establishments make their own sausages which can be very tasty but like smokeamotive said you can adjust flavors to your taste.
Hillshire what!!!!!!!! dont get me started......

It's a lot of fun & gives you a sense of accomplishment, when you do it yourself. Plus as the others have said you can adjust the flavor to suit your own taste and you know what meat is in it.

National League Standings, May 15, 1970
An oddity in the game: in the top of the second, with one out and Ron Swoboda on first, Joe Foy hit a fly ball to center field, but Oscar Gamble dropped the ball. However, Swoboda went back to first thinking the ball was caught, and Foy passed him between first and second. Foy was called out and Swoboda returned to first.
One footnote on Compton: he was the Jimmy Qualls of 1970. Qualls, who broke up Seaver's perfecto on July 9, 1969, finished his major league career with 31 base hits. Compton finished his career with 18.
Example One
The Mets suck! They need to trade Smith and get somebody like
This comment is off-topic and will be removed. It has nothing to do with
any specific game. But here's an acceptable alternative:
Example Two
The Mets suck! Smith made three errors in this game, and hit into a
double play, and the Mets blew a 5-0 lead. They need to get rid of Smith
and get somebody like Jones.
See the difference? Here you're getting the same point across, but it's in

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- One of today's economic myths is that the money that the Federal Reserve has created through its quantitative easing programs has not found its way into the money supply, and, as a result, no significant inflation has occurred.
The theory is that QE has only resulted in bank reserve creation, but little new money. Money and Banking 101 takes students through the "money multiplier" concept, where $1 of excess reserves can turn into $10 of new money if reserve requirements are 10%. Because there has been little net new bank lending since the Great Recession, the conclusion has been that there has been little money growth, and, therefore, minuscule inflation.
Those who tout this theory simply don't understand how the money creation process works. In addition, inflation isn't just measured by the narrowly defined and downwardly biased Consumer Price Index. Inflation means prices are rising, and, as I show below, we have plenty of that.
Money Creation
To show how the process actually works, assume that Citizen X buys $100,000 of securities from Citizen Y, and pays for it with a check drawn on X's account at Bank XX. Citizen Y deposits the check in Bank YY. In this example, no new money has been created. An existing deposit at Bank XX was transferred to Bank YY.
Now assume that the Fed is the buyer of the $100,000 asset from Citizen Y. When Y deposits the check into his or her account at Bank YY, reserves in the banking system do rise by $100,000 as Bank YY ends up with a new deposit at the Fed.
But, also note that Citizen Y now has $100,000 in a deposit at Bank YY, a deposit that did not exist in the banking system prior to the transaction. Going back to Money and Banking 101, while the $100,000 may not be "multiplied" into $1,000,000 because the banks aren't lending, the first step -- the creation of $100,000 -- did, indeed, occur.

Caché 2005
One of those movies that really sticks with you at the end.
If you expect a plot that leaves you with a nice package of resolution all neatly tied up with a little bow on top, don't watch this movie. It is about so many things that there is no way it could even be explained. There are no characters who know everything and have a monologue giving you all the details. All you get is what the characters get and maybe a bit more towards the end.
This film really is a masterpiece. I'll probably come back and write more about it some other time.
Take Shelter 2011
Normally if I wanted to see the psychotic breakdown of a character I would find a go-to horror movie about a serial killer or I would watch a downward spiral movie about drug abuse. When I first heard of Take Shelter, I was already a fan of Michael Shannon and needed to see this.
The movie is sort of a slow burn, considering the fact that you need to be slipped into a fairly comfortable atmosphere before watching it shatter…


text: Hi all! Thought it'd be a nice place to meet other pregnant disney fans! Just a few questions to get us started! How far along are you? Do you have an idea for when you want to take the LO to Disney for the first time? When's your baby shower? I'm 19w2d and pregnant with our first - a girl! We are so excited. It took us a while to conceive and finally did after having an HSG (clearing tubes) and on clomid for the 1st month. Our plan is to take her to Disney next October, when she's about 8 months old - it also coincides with my 30th birthday. And...baby shower is November 12th! Just gave my friend & mom (who are putting it on) the invite list. Should be fun, though they wouldn't do it the way I wanted (Jack & Jill/ guys & girls). I don't have that many girlfriends really (most women invited are DH's family), but adding in the guys brought the # attending from 30 to 60 and we've had a christmas party with 65 ppl before but never had 60 people all crammed into 1 room - so I think it'd be really tight. But I'm kinda bummed about it nonetheless. I'm due Feb 6th, so it's not like there's a chance of an outside baby shower. Oh well! Looking forward to it anyway. -Lauren

I had a mastectomy and silicone reconstruction. Since then, one has leaked. I have had extreme fatigue and muscle and joint pain ever since. The lymph nodes that I have left in the mammary chain are large. The doctors think my nodes are full of silicone. I'm miserable and don't know what to do.
Can Silicone Implants Cause Problems if They Leak?
Doctor Answers 3
Can Silicone Implants Cause Problems if They Leak
The symptoms youd describe may vaguely be related to the inflammatory process of the leak. in general, if untended to leaks can require more extensive surgery at a later date so it is better to treat it now rather than later. in regards to options, it may be time to consider autogenous tissue such as a lat or TRAM flap

Implants and fatigue
You really need to see yoru doctor to review your history and evaluate you for probable surgery. Fatigue , etc.. are probably unrelated to the implant problem.
Breast Reconstruction
You need to see your surgeon who performed the mastectomy. I am not sure what type of silicone implants were used, but the ones we currently use are more cohesive than the ones in the past. So they dont migrate when the shell breaks like the older silicone could.
You need to be evaluated and perhaps your lymph nodes need to be checked, but highly recommend seeing your general surgeon and perhaps your oncologist.
Good luck.

How 19-year-old activist Zack Kopplin is making life hell for Louisiana's creationists
For Zack Kopplin, it all started back in 2008 with the passing of the Louisiana Science Education Act. The bill made it considerably easier for teachers to introduce creationist textbooks into the classroom. Outraged, he wrote a research paper about it for a high school English class. Nearly five years later, the 19-year-old Kopplin has become one of the fiercest — and most feared — advocates for education reform in Louisiana. We recently spoke to him to learn more about how he's making a difference.

Justin Bieber was pulled over for driving at dangerous speeds in Dubai and will be whacked with a series of fines, police have confirmed.
Open-mouthed motorists spotted the tearaway teen singer driving down Sheikh Zayed Road on Sunday in a white Lamborghini Aventador just hours before a "fan
wanting a hug" attempted to grab him on stage at the Sevens Stadium.
It's the latest incident to plague the star in a two-gig, five-day trip to Dubai that was packed with controversy.
On Tuesday police told 7DAYS that Bieber was stopped in Dubai "just before attending his second concert".
"Police patrols noticed a white Lamborghini speeding on SZR and they asked the motorist to stop," said a spokesman from Dubai Traffic Police. "Justin has a number of fines for exceeding speed limits on Sheikh Zayed Road."
The Dubai Traffic Police spokesperson, however, could not confirm exactly how many speeding fines the irresponsible 19-year-old will face, nor the exact speeds clocked. Internet rumours claimed that Bieber hit 240kph. UK newspaper The Sun claimed that Bieber set off six speed cameras in his Sunday ride.
Witness Nikki Jameson told the UK tabloid: "Every single one flashed off as he went past. He had a close shave with a bus and stood out like a sore thumb."
Bieber might have been speeding around Dubai but he certainly took his time coming on stage for both gigs.
He showed up more than two hours late for both of his shows, much to the disappointment and anger of tired mums, dads and young fans. A YouTube clip showing Bieber roaring into the car park at The Sevens stadium is dated as the night of Saturday May 4, his first concert.

TEL AVIV (Apr. 24)
The inaugural convention of the newly formed Liberal party will open here tomorrow night. Dr. Nahum Goldmann, who will be the main speaker at the convention, today joined Progressive and General Zionist leaders in signing a call to the Israeli public to join the new party.
The call, which was published in all morning papers, was signed by a large and impressive list of industrialists, bankers, professors of the Hebrew University and of the Technion, Israel's top medical experts, writers, teachers and engineers.
The Zionist Actions Committee will open a four-day session here on Wednesday. It will elect a new Jewish Agency executive as instructed by the last World Zionist Congress. During the last Congress, the parties failed to reach agreement on the composition of the new executive.

Addiction and Substance Abuse
Frustrated and in Love with an Ex-Addict
Im in love with a 50 yr old woman who abused cocaine & smoked crack cocaine most of her adult life.She has been in AA recovery for 3 years.She has also been going thru bad PMS or PMDD and now menopausing or a combination of this.She has also had traumatic experiences due to the drug abuse.She has also informed me that her mother had severe menopause also.She is a wonderful woman when she is not hormonaly imbalanced which seems to be occuring more frequently.She seems at times to be triggered into this from becoming upset or unhappy about about situations that arise in her life.She becomes very hateful and angry and closes her self off from me for a week or more every single month.She drinks coffee and eats sweets every day which I know amplifies this state of mind.She is scheduled to have surgery to remove her ovaries and uterus in Dec. 2009.I know the hormone imbalance is a part of this,how much of her past drug addiction plays into this? Will the surgery ease the anger and hate she exibits or is this attributed from the drug abuse also.I also believe she needs more than AA to help her cope with this. Thank You
From your description, it sounds as though there are many things going on: 1. hormone imbalance associated with menopause, 2. history of addiction, now in recovery x 3 years 3. History of trauma.
As to your questions, How much of her past addiction plays into this? It probably plays a significant part, but the history of trauma may play a significant part as well.
Your second question, Will the surgery ease the anger and hate? I am not sure. I do not know if she will have hormone replacement after surgery or not.
I agree with you in that it sounds like she may need help from a mental health counselor or a psychiatrist if she is dealing with untreated depression or untreated post-traumatic stress disorder, both of which can manifest as anger, irritability, and unhappiness.
I also agree that AA is quite helpful, but it may not be enough.

Rhymes in Time Installation Through October 30
Multi-media installation by Emily Cash Wilmoth, Catherine Thornton, Emily Soldin Howard and Kelly Smith-Campbell
"Rhymes in Time," a collaborative multi-media installation reinterpreting children's nursery rhymes is on view in the Frankie G. Weems Art Gallery through October 30.
Emily Cash Wilmoth, Catherine Thornton, Emily Soldin Howard and Kelly Smith-Campbell identify and explore women's roles, female stereotypes and myths found in nursery rhymes, visually addressing hidden concepts and historical references found deep within the poems. The nursery rhymes featured in the exhibit are Mary, Mary Quite Contrary, Mary Had a Little Lamb, Little Miss Muffett, The Old Woman that Swallowed the Fly and Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater.
The installation blends many historical references together in artwork to bring an entirely new perspective to old nursery rhymes recited by generations of children.
Pulling information from the past, all four artists work to infuse their re-envisioned nursery rhyme environment with a historical feel, connecting Mary, Mary Quite Contrary to "Bloody Mary" and Little Miss Muffett to Mary, Queen of Scots. The exhibit includes pen and ink drawings, large scale drawings, sculpture and audio and video components to create the feeling of being totally submerged in a different, yet familiar, world.
According to Wilmoth, Meredith was the "perfect venue for me to transform into my 'ideal' multi-sensory environment." because of its focus on educating women and the opportunity to connect to several academic departments.
Emily Cash Wilmoth and Emily Soldin Howard both graduated from Meredith College in 2001. Wilmoth has taught at Meredith College, Duke University and is currently a professor at the Art Institute of Raleigh Durham. Howard is textile artist and an adjunct faculty member at Meredith, She and Kelly Smith-Campbell, a videographer, also teach at the Art Institute of Raleigh Durham. Thornton is an independent ceramics artist who maintains a studio at Artspace.
A number of Meredith students contributed to the completion of the exhibition. Instructor Emily Soldin Howard's fibers class wove Miss Muffett's spider web and her two dimensional class created the rug under the rocking chair. Associate Professor of Art Lisa Pearce's two dimensional design classes worked on the wall drawings. Assistant Professor of Art Warner Hyde's sculpture class worked on the installation of the Old Woman who Swallowed the Fly's intestines.
Emily Cash Wilmoth received a Regional Artists Project Grant from the United Arts Council of Raleigh and Wake County in support of this exhibition.
The exhibition is free and open to the public. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m.. – 5 p.m., and Saturday-Sunday, 2 – 5 p.m. The Gaddy-Hamrick Art Center is located on the western edge of the Meredith College campus, across from the Weatherspoon Gym.

'I've never had an affair with Nancy Dell'Olio' says Camilla's brother Mark Shand
THE Duchess of Cornwall will be pleased to know that her younger brother isn't dating Nancy Dell'Olio.
Mark Shand, 62, has denied reports that he has enjoyed a romance with the Italian American - who is known for her high-profile relationship with Sven-Göran Eriksson.
According to the Mail on Sunday, Mark said: "Let me be clear. I have never had an affair with Nancy Dell'Olio. We have never dated. There is no romance; there has not been any romance, there never will be.
He continued: "I am more likely to have an affair with a ripe pomegranate! And I am very fond of pomegranates."
I am more likely to have an affair with a ripe pomegranate! And I am very fond of pomegranates.
Despite being in each other's company a numbe of times since they were introduced by Basia Briggs two years ago, Mark has insisted that their relationship is purely professional.
"I know Nancy through my charity work," he said. "We have met and talked, even had a cup of tea together.
"There have been some staggering stories written which are laughably untrue. I have given consistent denials of any dating and certainly of any affair which have been ignored as some papers clearly think some stories, even if untrue, are too enticing not to run."
Reports suggested that the pair had spent time together at Nancy's Belgravia home, with a friend of Mark's telling the Daily Mail: "Put it this way, he's definitely seen the inside of her boudoir."
Nancy has certainly had a colourful love life, in particular her relationship with Sven.
Following their nine-year romance, Nancy allegedly dated the former M&S boss, Sir Stuart Rose, and her most recent relationship was with Sir Trevor Nunn, who she insisted was her intellectual equal.
Following their break-up, Nancy said: "Being with me, it was a boost for him. I think every man takes a lift from being next to me."
But it seems that Mark doesn't feel the need to have that boost, and said of the former Strictly Come Dancing star: "I do know Nancy and clearly she is a remarkable character which is why she has become a staple diet of tabloids.
"As Ukraine and Russia feud it is odd to be competing with that story for the front pages of some newspapers. It is mad. I hate to spoil a good story but the simple matter of truth is what is important and that dimension appears to have been lost."

Atteberry Station 'Nights At Spillman Ranch' – CD Review [VIDEO]
Wellington, Texas may not be a town you're familiar with, and you may never visit the tiny speck on the map in the west Texas panhandle. But you may soon be familiar with a product of Wellington. The band Atteberry Station was formed there, and their 2nd CD, 'Nights At Spillman Ranch' is poised to make waves on the Texas music scene.
Let me start by saying this: hearing the record needle sound effect as I put 'Nights At Spillman Ranch' in my CD player gave me chill bumps. I knew immediately this was a band after my own heart. But the effect isn't a gimmick. It actually sets the tone for what you are about to hear.
I don't want to call Atteberry Station a band with a 'throwback' sound, because they bring a fresh sound. But you get the feeling that these players are rich with knowledge of music history, and their appreciation shows. And even though this is only the 2nd offering from the band, it's obvious in listening that this isn't a band of kids fresh out of high school.
After the record needle fades out, 'Spillman Ranch' kicks in with 'Dr. Hugh', a drive-down-the-highway type song gives off a 'Clapton does country' vibe.
The first single release is 'Fool's Game', an upbeat song about relationship woes.
"You were always talkin' bout one thing or the other, I was layin' here far undercover. Well it's such a sad sad shame, livin' in your fool's game"
I can't figure out why there are two versions of this song on the CD, but whatever. It's a good song. Even if there's no awesome story behind the reason for this decision, I'll chalk it up to artistic license.
I don't normally make predictions like this, but 'Girl Like Her' is a Texas country song, and will do Atteberry Station very well on regional radio. I have no doubt. Texas country fans can easily identify with it. Guys feel like they wrote the song, ladies think it's about them. 'Nuff said.
This is a lyrically sound record. Songs like 'Tannin' In The Moonlight', 'Lonely Goes', and 'Over Your Goodbye' clearly point to the fact that both of Atteberry Station's songwriters, Justin Mixon and Kyle Stegall write what they know, and they write it pretty well.
The sound of 'Nights At Spillman Ranch' is rich and full, from beginning to end. Cody Braun (Reckless Kelly) produced this CD exceptionally well, Adam Odor is always an excellent engineer and the players are really great. There's such a laid back, effortless feel throughout. Ray Benson of Asleep At The Wheel was right when he said of 'Nights At Spillman Ranch': "This is a record that you put on and go for a drive. Way to go, guys".
'Nights At Spillman Ranch' has me thinking that this isn't the last we'll hear of Atteberry Station. They're really good, with the potential to be fantastic. They've got a great sound, and it sounds like the band is really comfortable together. It's clear that this band 'gets it', and are serious about creating great music. 'Nights At Spillman Ranch' is a huge step in the right direction.
Here's video of Atteberry Station performing 'Tannin' In The Moonlight' off 'Nights At Spillman Ranch':

Main and was followed by the Optometrist, Dr. Mineer. After Dr. Mineer's untimely death in 1997, Dr. Stan Kremp, an optometrist from Kerrville followed. A short time later he sold this part of his practice to Dr. Joseph Arieta. The Boerne Star, published and printed by the Gammon and Jack Davis families, occupied 132 S. Main for many years. They were followed by the Boerne Printing Company in the 1980's. The building at 136 S. Main has been almost continuously occupied by auto supply businesses.

The Office of Experiential Learning was created in 2003 for the purpose of facilitating off-campus educational opportunities for the students in the School of Health Sciences & Human Performance.
Experiential Learning opportunities are designed to provide students with an experience in which they are required to be active and intentional learners. The goal is for students to transfer their knowledge and experiences from the classroom to current and ongoing events in situations outside the college campus. Of key importance to the experiential learning process is for the students to reflect and evaluate their experiences throughout the process.

"We just think the industry is going to create a ton of jobs for kids who go on to get some type of science, technology, engineering or math background."The Power Your Future Exhibit will give students game-based opportunities to learn about the natural gas industry and potential careers in a hands-on, engaging way, according to Judy Wellington, president and CEO of the Clay Center."ECA's substantial gift is a strong challenge to the rest of the energy sector and other donors to match this historic investment in an educational project that means so much to the future of this state," Wellington said.The goal of the interactive exhibit is twofold: to test students' abilities so schools will be better able to reinforce concepts in the classroom, and to expose students to the career opportunities available to them in their home state."At its core, this project is about access, using education to bridge divides in our community, and promoting greater levels of student engagement and interactivity with the content they need to learn to be competitive in a 21st-century workforce," Wellington said. The Clay Center recently completed the conceptual design of the mobile exhibit, which will have interactive stations where students can collect sonic data, set up drill sites, design drill bits and prepare films about the gas industry.According to Mork, 7 percent of ECA's net income is reinvested in the communities it operates in, and as a natural gas company founded in West Virginia, ECA is committed to creating and maintaining employment opportunities in the state."I like to tell people that I have a huge advantage over native West Virginians because I was raised in California, and that is that I can brag unabashedly about West Virginia," he said. "We in-source to West Virginia all of our worldwide accounting, IT and human resources jobs because we have such great people."The site of the new ECA headquarters will be in Charleston's NorthGate Business Park, and the new facility is the result of the company's consistent growth, Mork said."Over the last 15 years, we have donated around $25 million to local communities," Mork said. "I have tremendous respect for the Clay Center's work and the quality of the education it offers. This sponsorship is just one more way ECA is demonstrating our unceasing commitment to the communities where we operate."ECA owns and operates about 4,600 wells, 5,000 miles of pipeline and 1 million acres in North America, according to the company. It employs roughly 110 people in the Charleston area, and has maintained its headquarters in Charleston since 1987.Reach Lydia Nuzum at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-5100.

Hi Debbie, I do not know where the rest of the family were buried. I have Elizabeth Amy French Simms being buried in Rose Hill Cemetery, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. She is my Great-Grand Aunt. I am sorry. Have you attempted to get his death certificate, they usually tell where they are buried. I do show that he died in Ok City on April 22, 1893.

Frank Lampard 'fit for Chelsea v Blackpool' – Carlo Ancelotti
Chelsea coach
Carlo Ancelotti is hopeful England midfielder
Frank Lampard should be fit for a place in the squad to face Premier League new-boys Blackpool at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Lampard missed his side's Champions League clash at MSK Zilina in midweek, which Chelsea cruised through 4-1 thanks to goals from Nicolas Anelka (2), Michael Essien , and Daniel Sturridge .
The England midfielder was rested because of a hernia injury, and is still recovering after groin surgery.
However, Ancelotti revealed the 32-year-old is likely to play a part against the Tangerines this weekend.
'Lampard trained in Cobham, I think he will be able to play on Sunday,' the Italian said
In the past Lampard has been renowned for his consistency of selection – playing in 164 consecutive Premier League fixtures for the Blues between 2001 and 2005.
However, since then the midfielder has had several niggling injuries, including being restricted to 40 matches in the 2007/08 season – which was his fewest for more than ten years as a professional.

Imma a musician myself. I play guitar a pretty long while now and i also sing.
The guitar parts weren't that bad. Pretty well done actually.
But the thing is...The voice...
You should really work on that. Cause technique wich u are singing with isn't really good. it's sounds like your really forcing your throat alot.
Also a few high tunes you didn't catch well.
I'm not the bad flamer or anything.
Just giving you a motivation for working on your voice.
Overall the concept of this song is pretty neat.
I get the feeling behind..soo i actually still love..
Therefore a 3 and a 7.
cheers, satsu
You mean bad-man forced it a lot, he did the vox on this. ;)
Also, look at the submission date. We can blame our shitty equipment and poor recording skillz for the quality. ^^ I can guarantee that we both are much better now.
Just check mine and his newer stuff, you'll be surpised.
Thanks for your input though dude, that's what I call constructive critisism. :)
Rated 3 / 5 stars
i thought it would be better
only thing - it's not any type of metal
it's not even heavy metal
it's ... something else
and i dont like it
it's too slow and "weak"
Well, you didn't get the message then...obviously.
I'm quite tired saying anything more about the "genre", how's it's not metal and all that crap. Gave enough informations there already.
Why don't you go play some Punk-O-Matic maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!? :)
Rated 2 / 5 stars
sad yes
it sounds very sad INDEED
just like your "review", if I can call it that way...
Rated 1.5 / 5 stars
mmm alright
uhh ok this is all slow and easy i'm more of a DEATH METAL fan so it kinda sucks ass. no offense but try something heavier
You got my message and you know about my HEAVY stuff now.
Rated 1 / 5 stars
Genre aside...
The vocals and music did not mix at all. As stated by others, the quality isn't very good. if the recording is old, why not re-do it and improve on the areas that need fixing and not blaming equipment? Maybe post a revision... You have skill, just work with it a bit more.
Gnah...I have other projects to work on, too many to be honest. This song is featured on the front because it has something to do with christmas and has a message. If I'd put it under "easy listening or classic" would have that been better? Would people actually listen to the song then other than complaining about the genre etc.? *sigh*
If the vocals and music don't mix, I wonder why this song is featured in an webby award winning live action movie!?...Teh mystery, teh mystery.
Ah well, thanks for checking anyways.

Filmdrunk already covered the deleted sex scene, but there were other deleted scenes in the Avatar script that were left out of the movie. I'll not post any spoilers. (You can get those at io9 or at an auto parts store. *bowtie spins*) Here's a summary of the non-spoilers:
Jake Sully gets in a bar fight on Earth, which is now so polluted everyone wears masks. Earth is also cluttered with ads, and athletes replace their legs with "antelope legs." And just when I thought this movie couldn't get any more furry-pornish.
The humans built a school for the Na'vi, which closed when the humans decided to use the blue kittens for target practice. The sister of Netiryi (that girl cat on all the posters) was killed in that school massacre.
Na'vi eat bugs for sustenance and to get high.
They also get drunk to celebrate successful hunts. What savages. Don't they know you're supposed to get drunk, then hunt?
They have sex by rubbing their tails ("queues") together. Really.
One character commits assisted suicide after his tail gets cut off. I asked a Manx cat what he thought about this big blue cat committing suicide over that, and he said, "What a pussy."
Least believable of all, however, is the scene where Michelle Rodriguez declares her love for another character. Who is male. Okay, all that other stuff with queues, antelope legs, bugs as club drugs and kinky tail sex I can understand. But come on.

MAY I propose a radical suggestion to lazy dog owners – don't pick up your dog's mess!
At least, don't pick it up, place it carefully in a plastic bag, then hang it on a bush, drop it in someone's recycling bin etc.
If it is really too much of a trial to you to take it to the nearest bin designated for the purpose, leave it in situ, so that the rain can remove it naturally.
I am fed up with seeing trees and bushes festooned with plastic bags of dog excrement, usually way out of reach to be removed as a result of having been thrown up there.
You clearly think you are doing your duty by poop scooping – instead, you are ruining the beautiful countryside in which you are exercising your pet.

Currently the market share of LTE is 4% of all cellular connections, with North American region leading in terms of LTE subscription with 47%.
The total number of LTE connections worldwide is expected to surpass 2.3 bn by 2020, according to a report by Informa Telecoms & Media on behalf of telecom trade organisation 4G Americas.
There are currently 245m LTE connections across the world, giving a 4% market share of all cellular connections, with the North American region leading in terms of LTE subscriptions, with 47% of connections, followed by Asia Pacific with 39% and Western Europe with 10%.
By the end of March, North American region had 115 million LTE subscribers followed by Asia Pacific with 95 million subscribers.
The number of LTE subscribers is expected to double in next one year from 245 million recorded by March 2014.
Informa Telecoms & Media senior analyst Kristin Paulin said the rapid adoption of LTE, with worldwide connections more than doubling year-over-year to 1Q 2014, has been driven by smartphones.
"It takes an efficient network like LTE to handle the increase in mobile data traffic from smartphones," Paulin said.
The number of commercial LTE networks is expected to reach 350 by the end of 2014, rising from 294 networks today while mobile operators have committed for 500 LTE deployments so far.
There were about 112 million LTE subscribers in the US with smartphone penetration reaching 68%. Both US and Canada added 14 million LTE subscribers during the first quarter and added 62 million LTE connections year-over-year.
LTE subscriber numbers grew 50% in Latin American countries, from two million to thee million in the first quarter with the expansion of LTE networks and availability of LTE devices.
4G Americas president Chris Pearson said Latin America realised tremendous growth of LTE in the first quarter of this year.
"Brazil is leading the acquisition of LTE connections in the region, speared by the World Cup and Olympic events that have progressed the deployment of LTE network coverage," Pearson said.
"The demand for mobile broadband services across the region continues to positively affect the increase in LTE subscriptions."
Members of 4G Americas include Alcatel-Lucent, América Móvil, AT&T, Cable & Wireless, Cisco, CommScope, Entel, Ericsson, HP, Mavenir, Nokia, Openwave Mobility, Qualcomm, Rogers, Sprint, T-Mobile USA and Telefónica.
LTE is an acronym for Long-Term Evolution, commonly known as 4G LTE which is a standard for wireless communication of high-speed data for mobile phones and data terminals based on the GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSPA network technologies.

Tank Nation war fighter.
Bernard Hoffington
The Ireland/UK conflict.
Somewhere around day 1,865 - 1,870
I joined the unit less than a week ago, brought here by a brother, we're all brothers now. Brothers and sisters.
We made our way to Ireland, Dublin. I didn't know the enemy, i didn't know the politics but with my brothers at my side i was confident.
We were told it was a training war, but the Irish soldiers shouted to us from across the lines. There was confusion everywhere.
"What's going on!?" I heard a soldier shout.
After a quick briefing from commander FragUK we all understood the objective. Seems the gov had messed up, Ireland needed to win, we headed across the lines and shot down British troops with our bean bag bullets, stunning them, after regaining the Irish regions for our Irish friends we headed back over to take Northern Ireland.
It was a tough battle, but we did it.
After all, its us; the war fighters who fix these situations.
If your fed up with logging in and just completing your daily order and working, why not join a 'real' family unit?
But please, don't just join and follow your same routine.
Tank Nation is all about the society. We're brothers and sisters above friends. Join us and get to know us, add all the members and see what you think!
We may not be the biggest or the best, but we sure are friendly!
needs more This man needs an ewife http://www.erepublik.com/en/citizen/profile/2474275 he's so lonely ^___^
I wondered what tank nation was in the shouts and finally clicked the link....Good luck guys, though you won't need it because you have some cracking members in your ranks.
Very highly recommended
Tank Nation is a MU that is a credit to the eUK, may more members join and Tank Nation grow and proser!

BETHESDA, Md., March 9, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Chindex International, Inc. (NASDAQ: CHDX), an American health care company providing health care services in China through the operations of United Family Healthcare, a network of private primary care hospitals and affiliated ambulatory clinics, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2011 ended December 31, 2011.
Fourth Quarter 2011 Financial Highlights
Roberta Lipson, President and CEO of Chindex, commented, "We had a strong fourth quarter of 2011, with revenue growing 22% to $31.9 million year over year. Adjusted EBITDA increased 44% in the quarter to $6.2 million, representing a 19% adjusted EBITDA margin. For the full year of 2011, we are pleased to deliver 20% year over year growth during our first year as a pure play healthcare services company. This has been a year focused on expansion through strengthening traffic at our existing facilities and building out new facilities. Our revenue performance has begun to reflect contribution from our efforts, with growth rates rising in the second half of 2011 to the mid-teens and low-twenties."
"Looking forward to 2012, Chindex will remain dedicated to bringing our unique experience of premium, private healthcare to more consumers, across more service offerings and in more locations throughout China. We expect revenue growth to further accelerate to the mid-twenties, driven by strong demand in existing facilities as well as growing contribution from new facility openings, and adjusted EBITDA margin to remain stable in the mid-teens. Again, we stress that we believe our adjusted EBITDA performance is the best metric for judging our operational performance throughout this period of intensive hospital network expansion."
"Overall, the UFH network is well-positioned as a leading provider of premium healthcare services in Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and Guangzhou. These affluent metropolitan cities with rapid economic development, growing international populations and widening target patient bases offer significant room for expansion. Moreover, we believe our plans are well-timed with increasingly favorable policies and growing market demand to achieve increasing top-line growth and steady profitability."
"We would like to also help investors better understand contributions from our Chindex Medical Limited joint venture. Late in the fourth quarter, CML shipped a daVinci surgical robot system which could not be recognized as revenue in 2011 under CML's accounting policy for equipment sales. The associated revenue and gross margin will not be recognized until 2012 when the system is installed. As a result, contribution from CML during the fourth quarter was immaterial. Nevertheless, we are pleased with CML's first year of operations, which contributed significantly to our bottom line. In the coming year, we believe CML's progress in obtaining SFDA approval and initiating marketing activities for new imaging products for sale in the China market and expansion of its manufacturing base through strategic capital investments in its dental business will continue to drive growth. For the near term, however, we expect our contribution from CML to remain steady but moderate in growth."
Fourth Quarter 2011 Financial Results
Fourth quarter 2011 revenue from healthcare services increased 22% to $31.9 million from $26.1 million in the prior year period, reflecting continued growth of inpatient and outpatient volume across the United Family Healthcare network as well as nascent contributions from the phased opening of the expansion of the Company's flagship hospital in Beijing. Outpatient services contributed 58% of revenue and inpatient services contributed 42% of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to 59% and 41%, respectively, in the prior year period. By service line, for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011, surgical services contributed 19%, OB/GYN contributed 16%, pediatrics contributed 9%, ancillary services contributed 33% and other services contributed 23% of revenue.
Operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2011 increased 22% to $29.8 million from $24.4 million in the prior year period primarily reflecting the Company's ongoing expansion efforts. Salaries, wages and benefits in the fourth quarter of 2011 increased 23% to $17.3 million from $14.1 million in the prior year period reflecting a growth in headcount to drive revenue growth and support development activities. Development, pre- and post-opening and start up expenses for the Beijing United expansion, Shanghai Pudong expansion, Tianjin United Family ramp up and Beijing United Family Rehabilitation Hospital were $2.6 million this quarter, compared to $675,000 for the prior year period. Operating expenses also included certain non-cash expenses including $630,000 of stock compensation expense compared to $1.0 million for the prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2011 increased to approximately $6.2 million, representing a 19% adjusted EBITDA margin, compared to $4.3 million in the prior year period driven by consistent profitability of existing facilities.
Income from operations was $2.1 million compared to $2.8 million in the prior year period reflecting the deconsolidation of the medical products division.
The Company recorded a $835,000 provision for taxes in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to a provision for taxes of $979,000 in the prior year period.
Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 was $1.2 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to $1.7 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the prior year period. For the fourth quarter of 2011, weighted average diluted shares outstanding were 17.2 million.
Full year 2011 Financial Results
During the full year ended December 31, 2011, revenue from healthcare services increased 20% to $114.4 million from $95.4 million in the prior year period, reflecting growing inpatient and outpatient volume across the United Family Healthcare network. Outpatient services contributed 59% of revenue and inpatient services contributed 41% of revenue for the full year of 2011, compared to 60% and 40%, respectively, in the year ago period. By service line, surgical services contributed 18%, OB/GYN contributed 15%, pediatrics contributed 8%, ancillary services contributed 33% and other services contributed 26% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Operating expenses for the full year 2011 increased 25% to $108.7 million from $87.1 million in the prior year period primarily due to increased staffing, office and administrative supplies associated with the Company's ongoing development and expansion plans. Development, pre-opening and start up expenses, including post-opening expenses, rose to $7.8 million from $2.1 million in the prior year period primarily as a result of expenses related to the Company's Beijing, Pudong and Tianjin projects. Operating expenses also included certain non-cash expenses including $3.1 million of non-cash stock compensation expense.
Adjusted EBITDA was approximately $19.0 million compared to $14.1 million in the prior year period.
Income from operations was $5.7 million compared to income from operations of $10.7 million in the prior year period reflecting the deconsolidation of the medical products division.
Provision for taxes was $3.7 million compared to $4.3 million in the prior year period.
Net income was $3.2 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared to net income of $6.3 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, in the prior year period. For the full year ended December 31, 2011, weighted average diluted shares outstanding were 17.4 million.
As of December 31, 2011, the Company had $60.3 million in unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and investments.
Non-GAAP Measures
The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA to better illustrate ongoing operational results. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) before interest expense, interest and other income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and also excludes development, pre-opening and start-up expenses related to new and pending hospitals and clinics, equity in earnings (loss) income of unconsolidated affiliate, non-recurring charges for Chindex Medical Limited (CML) joint venture formation and effect of change in corporate cost allocations. The Company anticipates recurring development, pre-opening and start-up expense and notes that such expense is a basic element of the long term growth plan. Management believes that providing an Adjusted EBITDA analysis to investors is a helpful metric to better illustrate the Company's operations, including development plans, and changes in presentation from historical periods. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA for business planning and other purposes. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, and therefore Chindex's Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income (loss), cash flows from operating activities and other measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant and necessary components to the operations of the Company's business, and, therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should only be used as a supplemental measure of operating performance.
Chindex Medical Limited
The Chindex Medical Limited joint venture (CML) between FosunPharma and Chindex International began operations on January 1, 2011. The strategic venture merged the former Medical Products division of Chindex International and select medical device companies of FosunPharma. FosunPharma owns 51% and Chindex owns 49% of the CML joint venture. Chindex recognizes its 49% interest in CML's net income using the equity method of accounting.
For the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company recognized immaterial income from its equity interest reflecting the deferral of revenue related to CML's sale of a daVinci surgical robot system. For the full year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized $1.1 million for its equity interest in CML. In recognizing its 49% interest in the net income of CML for these periods, Chindex also included additional expenses for amortization of certain fair value adjustments made in connection with the formation of the joint venture.

No headlines, no Heisman hype and very few highlights. None of the spoils that for most star running backs — like Wisconsin's Montee Ball — come with the territory.
Injuries have forced the Spartans into using six different offensive line combinations, while defenses will at times have two linebackers key on Bell's every move.
But you won't hear Bell complain — not about the lack of blocking, nor the incredible workload he has been forced to carry or even the bumps and bruises the 6-foot-2, 237-pounder surely must have by this point in the season.
Bell just keeps fighting through the tackles, absorbing the hits, and falling forward at the end of each run.
If not for Bell, the Spartans (4-4 overall, 1-3 Big Ten) would probably not have any bowl hopes alive as they enter into Saturday's 3:30 p.m. game at Camp Randall Stadium to face the No. 25 Wisconsin Badgers (6-2, 3-1).
Bell ranks second in the nation in carries (226), third in rushing yards (984) and 21st in all-purpose yardage (146.1 yards per game).
And those are hard-earned yards: Bell has gained 519 of his rushing yards (53 percent) after first contact and leads all FBS backs in broken tackles and yards after contact this season.
And yet, Bell carries himself more like a selfless offensive lineman; his focus on winning, not personal accolades.
"I'm not a guy who likes losing, it gives me a bad taste in my mouth,'' Bell said. "I see the film and see the little things we could have done.''
Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema looks at the film and sees a great Michigan State back with sub-par blocking.
"(Bell) is a phenomenal running back, he's powerful, he's athletic, he's fast,'' Bielema said at this weekly press conference. "They've gone through some transition offensive line-wise.
"You see a lot of different numbers at their offensive line position, so you know they're going through some transition there.''
Wisconsin, meanwhile, has enjoyed great continuity on its offensive line, leading Ball — whose Heisman Trophy candidacy is back on track — to 982 yards rushing on 196 carries this season.
MSU's Bell has taken notice of the Badgers' back, and on Tuesday, he was asked to compare his running style to that of the 5-11, 215-pound Ball.
"Our styles are kind of similar,'' Bell said. "I think I may be a little more shifty, but he's a patient runner with good vision. He breaks a lot of tackles and run hard. I"m a bigger guy, he's a smaller guy, but he uses that to his advantage.''
MSU linebacker Denicos Allen has faced Bell in intrasquad scrimmages and lined up across from Wisconsin's Ball, and he said his teammate is more the versatile of the two runners.
"Le'Veon is his own kinda running back, he can do all kinds of things, he can truck someone, he can juke them,'' Allen said. "(Ball) has decent speed, it's more his physical play that brings him out.''
With a incongruent offensive line, it will take some semblance of a passing game to bring out the best in Bell for the Spartans.
"…In those games when (MSU) wasn't really catching the ball well at wide receiver, people were able to focus and take away Bell,'' Bielema said. "But now those receivers are coming along. Statistically, it may not show up as good, but they've gotten better.''
Bell remains optimistic, and said his Spartans' teammates are doing the same.
"Everybody is still positive,'' Bell said. "It's not over, you never know what can happen.
"We want to do whatever we can to handle our part of the business and go undefeated the rest of the season.''

Medicare Drama More Hype than Reality
August 16, 2012
Much of the focus since Mitt Romney selected Paul Ryan as his running mate has been on the "Ryan budget" and the supposedly drastic difference between the Republican's Medicare plan and President Obama's, say John C. Goodman, president at the National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA), a research fellow at the Independent Institute and author of Priceless: Curing the Healthcare Crisis, and Thomas R. Saving, an NCPA senior fellow, former Social Security and Medicare trustee and director of the Private Enterprise Research Center at Texas A&M University.
Surprisingly, there's very little difference between the two plans.
- There is no important difference in Medicare spending -- even when the estimates of the president's budget are made by his own Office of Management and Budget and the costs of the Ryan plan are projected by Ryan himself.
- Based on what is known, the difference is in how the spending targets are achieved.
- And even there similarities abound.
Much has been made of the fact that Ryan would create "vouchers," allowing seniors to buy private insurance. To hear the critics tell it, this would radically transform Medicare by "privatizing" it.
- But we already have a voucher program under Medicare: Medicare Part C, or the Medicare Advantage program.
- And one out of four Medicare beneficiaries is enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan.
President Obama has long favored reducing the payments to these plans, and significant cuts are part of the Affordable Care Act. However, neither the president nor any other prominent Democrat is calling for the abolition of these very popular plans.
Although Ryan favors an expansion of private Medicare plans, his budget implicitly endorses the same payment cuts that are incorporated in the health law. In Ryan's latest budget, everyone will have the option of remaining in the traditional Medicare program. So regardless of how much the private plans are paid, total spending can't be controlled unless traditional Medicare costs are brought under control.
How would Ryan do that?
- One new idea Ryan has proposed is to eventually increase the age of eligibility from 65 years old to 67 years old.
- Because the president has signaled a willingness to do the same thing in budget negotiations with Republicans, it's hard to make too much of this.
- Beyond that, the Ryan plan would limit the growth in Medicare spending to per capita gross domestic product growth plus 0.5 percentage points -- which again is in line with the president's budget.
The White House and Ryan Medicare budgets don't differ that much. What does differ is their approach. The president's approach -- limit the growth of payments to providers -- is inflexible. Ryan's approach has the advantage of making the cuts less painful by allowing market-based reforms.

Hubspot's Facebook Grader will tell you your "reach and authority" on Facebook. My score is 90/100.
The tool works by analyzing the number of friends you have, how important those friends are (whatever that means), how complete your profile is, how many wall posts you have and how many groups you belong to. It turns out I haven't filled out much of my profile and there are some other things I've neglected to attend to, so I only get an A-.
I can live with that, but there are others out there who seem to take issue with how the site ranks people. French entrepreneur Loic Le Meur is "outraged" that it doesn't take into account that he has a fan page, for example (I find fan pages obnoxious myself), and gave him a score of only 97.6. C'est la vie.
To sum up my opinion of this tool, it's beyond useless. Not that I ever planned to, but the last thing I'll ever do now is fill in more of my profile or join more groups. Maybe I can get that 90 down to 0.
The company has a similar tool for Twitter.

Samsung Galaxy Metrix 4G launched by US Cellular, comes with slide-out QWERTY and LTE
US Celluar added a new Android smartphone to its roster today, the Samsung Galaxy Metrix 4G. Interestingly, we haven't seen it leak before the announcement. That rarely happens.
Anyway, the Metrix 4G has LTE support, and comes with a side-sliding physical QWERTY keyboard. It also has a 1 GHz processor, a 4-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen, a 5 MP rear camera with LED flash, and a 1.3 MP front-facing camera. Sadly, it runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread, which is a positively ancient OS version nowdays.
The Samsung Galaxy Metrix 4G can be ordered today online from US Cellular, and will be in stores on August 24 (this Friday). You'll have to pay $129 (after a $100 mail-in rebate) for it if you're in a market where 4G LTE service from US Cellular is already active or will be before the end of this year. If you're elsewhere, the phone can be yours for $179 (also after a $100 mail-in rebate). A data plan will be required in all cases, and new customers may need to sign a two-year contract.

NEW YORK-The American Civil Liberties Union today praised the Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration for killing the passenger profiling system known as CAPPS II.
"The government has recognized that this program would have had immense implications for Americans' privacy, while providing little protection against terrorism," said Laura W. Murphy, Director of the ACLU Washington Legislative Office. "Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge and other decisionmakers are to be commended for taking this decisive step."
USA Today quoted Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge today as confirming that CAPPS II (an acronym for the Computer Assisted Passenger Prescreening System) was going to be shut down. Under the program, the government would have conducted a background check on every person flying to, from, or within the United States, and made a judgement about them as to the risk they supposedly posed to aviation.
"Knowing that this program is dead, I do not feel one bit more vulnerable to terrorist attack," said Barry Steinhardt, Director of the ACLU's Technology and Liberty Project. "But I feel a lot less afraid of getting trapped in a tangled security bureaucracy, with no assurance of getting out."
Acting TSA Director David Stone yesterday indicated that the agency was revamping the program, but until Ridge's definitive statement, the ACLU said, those comments looked like just the latest twist in a long, gradual process of reworking the program.
"All too often the Bush Administration's approach to preventing terrorism has been based on a dragnet approach that turns every American into a suspect," said Steinhardt. "We hope that this decision is not just a tactical retreat, but part of a broader recognition that such an approach to security is ineffective and contrary to our traditions of freedom."

Although it is probably unlikely that we find a guy who has been overseas making a name for himself that could make an impact with the 2nd unit as the perimeter threat we are reportedly in the market for, its not impossible. Any ideas ?
One guy that has always been someone I was excited to see in the NBA and then went un-drafted (which honestly really surprised me) is Dionte Christmas. I kind of forgot about him until today but it looks like he has had a great year in Greece this year with averages of 19 pts, 4 rbs, 2 ast, 2 stl in 31 mins per game. He is also pretty efficient with a 47% FG and 42% 3pt .the guy could flat out score the ball at Temple and had ice in his veins I think he is worth a look with one of our roster spots if we cant bring in anybody else via trade. Doesn't hurt that he just turned 25.

BEREA — Browns wide receiver Greg Little and quarterback Brandon Weeden have experienced similar, disappointing seasons.
Both players were in the starting lineup in Week 1, only to lose their jobs by mid-September. Little was demoted due to his performance, while Weeden suffered an injury.
Though Weeden reclaimed his job and Little has escaped the coaches' doghouse, they had something else in common Sunday: Both were lustily booed during a 31-17 home loss to the Detroit Lions.
"Once we get back in the swing of things and are winning, those fans that boo will be the same fans that cheer," said Little, who is averaging a career-low 2.7 receptions per game.
"So that's going to make me laugh, that's for sure. "I don't mind taking criticism. We're all a team and the common goal is to win. We still just got to go out and play."
The third-year pro spoke to the media Thursday for the first time since Sept. 15 in Baltimore, patiently answering questions for 15 minutes.
Little said he hasn't been avoiding the press since losing his starting job to Davone Bess, but has been spending extra time in the film room working with Weeden.
"I've been in there a lot with Brandon and also have been lifting weights," the 6-foot-2, 220-pounder said. "I know I have to make time for the media, but usually (the access period) is right after practice and I didn't want to break my routine.
"I've never had a problem talking with you guys or anything like that. It's just me trying to work on some things and keep moving forward."
Little had nowhere to move but forward after a disastrous four-game stretch to open the season. He had only 11 receptions for 78 yards — and was blanked on Sept. 25 against Cincinnati — while dropping a number of passes.
The lack of productivity stunned Cleveland coach Rob Chudzinski, who dropped his former lead wideout so far down the depth chart that Little's only contributions in Week 4 came as a kickoff returner.
"Not being in the lineup was awakening, but my performance itself was a wake-up call," said Little, who led the Browns in receptions in 2011 and '12. "I just was not performing the way I wanted to, catching the ball, but I'm still working as hard as I always have.
"I think I'm playing better, but, of course, there are areas to get better in throughout the week."
Despite being listed behind Bess on the team's official depth chart, Little joined Weeden on the field for the opening snap against the Lions. It was both players' first start since a 14-6 loss to the Ravens one month earlier.
The duo hooked up for a 2-yard touchdown pass — the first time Little reached the end zone this season — but only connected twice in the five times Weeden threw the ball in his direction.
One of those misfires should have an asterisk, however, as Little appeared to make a gorgeous 25-yard sideline catch in the fourth quarter that was ruled incomplete.
A replay review confirmed the call, even though television footage appeared to show Little got both feet inbounds with possession of the ball. Cleveland only trailed 21-17 at the time, but was forced to punt and never recovered.
"That was a huge, huge play in the game," he said. "I knew for a fact I was inbounds. My left foot did make a mark in the grass and my right foot slammed down on the ground. I would have liked to know what they were thinking. Then again, it was just one play and one play never really loses the game."
That one play, though, could have turned around Little's season. He ranks fifth on the Browns with 16 receptions for 161 yards through six games, putting him well off the 3.6-catch per game pace he had over his first two NFL seasons.
Little struggled badly with Weeden, but fared even worse with Brian Hoyer at quarterback until Hoyer suffered a season-ending right knee injury Oct. 3 against Buffalo.
"Early on, it was more (my fault) than Brandon," Little said. "I was just pushing myself trying to do more than what was there, trying to hit a home run on every ball. I need to just get a base hit and keep it moving. And if more is there, then I'm going to try to make more of it."
Little's on-field struggles are even more magnified because off-field clouds continue to hover over him.
The 2011 second-round draft choice has been dogged by traffic violations — picking up three more in the hours following the loss to Baltimore — and trade rumors that won't stop until he is either dealt or the Oct. 29 NFL deadline passes.
Little's name also has popped up in Chapel Hill, N.C., as part of an ongoing fraud investigation of agent Terry Watson, who was charged in a 13-count indictment last week.
Little, a former Tar Heels speedster, was suspended for the 2010 NCAA season after allegedly accepting money from Watson, hastening his decision to turn pro.
"None of that bothers me because the thing is, I don't even know about it unless our PR staff tells me," Little said. "I haven't heard anything about a trade from participants than matter and I don't even know who's getting charged with what.
"I mean, that is what it is. I'm just going to continue to play hard because I want to get better every week and continue to make game-changing plays."
