No digital optical connection ?
I think I've made a schoolboy error buying a soundbar. I have a Panasonic TXP46G20BA TV and bought the LG NB3520A soundbar. I can't get it to work with the TV, it connects with a digital oprical cable. From what I can see there is only one on the TV and that's marked up as AV3 with a headphone symbol. I've connected the cable to this but there's no sound. It's definitely not the unit as I've played music via the USB with a memory stick.
Do I have not have the correct connection on the TV or am I missing something obvious ?
Bit confused by this - looking at the manual for your TV, I think the port you're referring to above is the headphone socket - is it on the side of the TV just above the AV3 inputs (which are marked V, L and R)?
The digital optical output on your TV (again, according to the manual for your TV) is at the bottom right of the back - on the far left of all the connections i.e. the opposite side to your HDMI ports, it's marked as Digital Audio Out (above the PC connection).
Thanks prof, the cables had an additional pin attached to them so the tv end wouldn't connect to that connection. Noticed now that it pulls off so now fits.
Really helpful, thanks a lot
No worries!
Yes, that additional pin is for some devices which have what's known as a mini-toslink output connection, which just so happens to be exactly the same size as the headphone socket!

Description | Macaca mulatta miR-30c-2 stem-loop | ||||
Gene family | MIPF0000005; mir-30 | ||||
Community annotation |
This text is a summary paragraph taken from the Wikipedia entry entitled mir-30_microRNA_precursor. miRBase and Rfam are facilitating community annotation of microRNA families and entries in Wikipedia. Read more ... miR-30 microRNA precursor is a small non-coding RNA that regulates gene expression. Animal microRNAs are transcribed as pri-miRNA (primary miRNA) of varying length which in turns are processed in the nucleus by Drosha into ~70 nucleotide stem-loop precursor called pre-miRNA (preliminary miRNA) and subsequently processed by the Dicer enzyme to give a mature ~22 nucleotide product. In this case the mature sequence comes from both the 3' (miR-30) and 5' (mir-97-6) arms of the precursor. The products are thought to have regulatory roles through complementarity to mRNA. A screen of 17 miRNAs that have been predicted to regulate a number of breast cancer associated genes found variations in the microRNAs miR-17 and miR-30c-1, these patients were noncarriers of BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations, lending the possibility that familial breast cancer may be caused by variation in these miRNAs. Members of the miR-30 family have been found to be highly expressed in heart cells. |

or something to that effect? backticks got removed from the post
@pjries Okay actually I'm confused by the bit you said was important. When you wrote
`CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS tablename_bb_forums`did you mean I should insert the wp_???_ bit ? Or whatever the prefix used in other tables?
I think that's what you meant, so would the command look like this?
`CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `wp_i28ycb_bb_forums` (
`forum_id` int(10) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`forum_name` varchar(150) NOT NULL default ",
`forum_slug` varchar(255) NOT NULL default ",
`forum_desc` text NOT NULL,
`forum_parent` int(10) NOT NULL default 0,
`forum_order` int(10) NOT NULL default 0,
`topics` bigint(20) NOT NULL default 0,
`posts` bigint(20) NOT NULL default 0,
PRIMARY KEY (`forum_id`),
KEY `forum_slug` (`forum_slug`)
`@pjries Thanks for this. I hope I understand what you said correctly. I'm going to give it a try today and I'll post the results here.
I'm one of the ones who installed WordPress with one click on Dreamhost. I can't downgrade my MySQL and even if I could, we have a production server running membership site now (just without forums) so manual wordress install from scratch is not an option. Can I just manually create missing tables using phpmyadmin or something?
@javiermatosdes & @dba2k10 – will those solutions work for someone who has commited the sin of 1-click install with Dreamhost?
@Virtuali – That's nice, but what is the solution if a bb-config change occurred?Okay if reinstalling now were an option I would totally do it, but I'm working on a project that has come too far and MUST launch in a day. Funny enough, "fixing the broken buddypress forums" was the last item on a long list of to dos.
I'm not afraid to dive into the config file or the database to do what needs to be done.
thecoup mentioned that there might be another way. I would love to hear it.Really hoping I can get this plugin working right. Can you tell me or show me an example of where to stick that line of rss feed code? I can't get it to work.

Title: Starcrossed (Starcrossed Trilogy)
Published: 05/31/2011
Good Reads-
How do you defy destiny?
Helen Hamilton has spent her entire sixteen years trying to hide how different she is—no easy task on an island as small and sheltered as Nantucket. And it's getting harder. Nightmares of a desperate desert journey have Helen waking parched, only to find her sheets damaged by dirt and dust. At school she's haunted by hallucinations of three women weeping tears of blood … and when Helen first crosses paths with Lucas Delos, she has no way of knowing they're destined to play the leading roles in a tragedy the Fates insist on repeating throughout history.
As Helen unlocks the secrets of her ancestry, she realizes that some myths are more than just legend. But even demigod powers might not be enough to defy the forces that are both drawing her and Lucas together—and trying to tear them apart.

Power Ranking the 10 Best Isolation Scorers in the NBA
By Brett David Roberts ,
The best two isolation players in the NBA met in June.
What comes to mind when thinking of a great isolation player? Is it someone who can break opponents down off the dribble and get to the basket at will? Is it someone who can shake his defender and hit mid-range jumpers en masse? Or is it someone who can break down a defense and get easy shots around the basket for himself and teammates?
It is all of these things.
Isolation players differ in style and results. A point guard in isolation may not produce the same scoring numbers (points-per-possession), and his usage rate may not be as high, but one can't ignore the effect that the players' isolation has within the offense. Accordingly, it's not so surprising to find that five of the top 10 isolation scorers in the NBA are point guards.
And then, beyond pure results, there is the fact that isolation plays can be overrated in terms of what comprises an NBA offense. The New York Knicks had the highest number of isolation plays last season, and we saw the middling results.
Of the four teams that followed them in the top five, only two of them even made the playoffs. The Sacramento Kings and then-New Jersey Nets came in second and third in isolation plays, and each had a winning percentage of 33 percent, as both teams went a dismal 22-44.
Despite the fact that isolation seldom produces the best results, it's worth taking a look at the 10 players who did it best. It is, after all, a good measure of how talented a player is offensively.
If a guy can score in isolation, he should be able to draw double teams, which can allow a coach to diversify the offense. The fact that the Knicks did such a poor job of that, and the L.A. Clippers (No. 4 in isolation offense percentage) and Oklahoma City Thunder (No. 5) did such a great job of it is another discussion for another day.
This slideshow excludes post players and focuses on the best perimeter isolation players. Let's take a look at them.
One of the league's most exciting iso-players, Rose suffered a career-threatening injury last year.
Derrick Rose had the eighth-highest usage rate in the NBA at 30.6 percent. For a player who comprises most of his team's offense, that is hardly surprising. His assist percentage ranked second among those in the top 10 for usage last year, with only Deron Williams posting a higher percentage (47 percent for Williams, 40 percent for Rose).
Rose has the moves to be the best player on this list, but this list isn't about who has the best moves.
It's about who does the most with them, and Rose shot just 36.7 percent on long twos last season and had a true shooting percentage of 53.7 percent, which ranks significantly lower than LeBron James and Kevin Durant. The figure would be lower still if Rose wasn't so adept at getting to the line. He shot 6.1 free throws per game last year and hit 81.2 percent from the line.
Rose also must become a better three-point shooter so that defenders can't lay off him as much when he isolates from behind the arc. Last year, he shot just 31.2 percent from distance.
Last season, Rose sought to involve teammates more in the offense, and his field-goal attempts dropped from nearly 20 a game in his MVP campaign of 2010-11 to under 18 per game last year. The Bulls know that the key to being a better team isn't to get more from Rose, but rather to involve his teammates more.
With Rose out for the majority (or possibly entirety) of the season, the Bulls will be able to focus on finding which players can be high usage guys when Rose returns.
Rose has some of the best moves in isolation in the NBA, but as to whether or not that will ultimately render him an NBA champ is highly debatable. The Miami Heat and Oklahoma City Thunder both have two isolation players on their team that rank higher than Rose on this slideshow, and Rose is the No. 1 option in Chicago.
Rose's value as a player is indisputable—he won an MVP award—but his talents as an iso-player are overstated, at least when you analyze his actual results.
Dwyane Wade is beginning to decline, but remains one of the best at iso-plays.
Dwyane Wade ranked fifth in the NBA in usage rate last year at 31.5 percent. He became a much better isolation player last year, as he stopped shooting as many threes and focused on more on taking higher percentage shots.
He hit 42.3 percent of his long twos, but his true shooting percentage fell to 55.9 percent because he hasn't been getting to the line as much as he did over his nine-year career prior to last year.
He shot just 6.1 free throws per game last year, which was well below his career average of 8.9 per game. It was his lowest figure since his rookie year when he attempted 5.1 per game. That may indicate that he's beginning to decline, as Wade is now 30. His best years are likely behind him.
But he's still good enough to crack the top 10 in a list of the best isolation scorers, both because of his high usage rate and the fact that he shot nearly 50 percent from the floor last year as the Heat's No. 2 option offensively. Wade isn't going to shoot 20-plus shots a game anymore, as he did in 2008-09 when he led the league in scoring.
Wade is likely going to start focusing more on posting up as his athleticism continues to decline (following in the footsteps of His Airness and the Mamba). Still, for all Wade was, he's still very good in isolation and is still a top-10 player in the NBA.
Russell Westbrook will only shoot even more with James Harden out of the picture.
Westbrook ranked behind only Kobe Bryant for usage last year at 32.9 percent. His involvement in the Thunder offense was more substantial than the NBA's leading scorer and teammate Kevin Durant, but the results were far less impressive.
Westbrook shot 40.9 percent on two-point shots 10-feet and further, and he shot too many of them. He's far better getting to the rim. He shot 61.6 percent in the basket area and he got to the line with frequency (6.3 free-throw attempts per game).
If Westbrook could concentrate on getting to the rim and take less contested two-point jumpers, he would sky rocket up this list. But right now, he's too focused on doing what has been the least effective for him. He shot three threes per game last year and hit just 31.6 percent of them.
Why would a player so talented at breaking down defenders choose to shoot so many jumpers?
His true shooting percentage was 53.8 percent, which is still pretty high, but it ranks far behind LeBron James (60.5 percent) and Kevin Durant (61 percent). If Westbrook worked more on getting to the basket and taking high percentage shots, he could easily contend for a top-three rank on this slideshow.
Kobe Bryant will isolate a lot less with Dwight Howard in the paint.
Kobe Bryant is slowing down, but that overwhelming sentiment among NBA fans and analysts may be a bit overstated. Last year, Kobe's usage rate was 35.9 percent, which was still three full percentage points behind No. 2 in the NBA (Russell Westbrook, 32.9 percent).
Bryant is still one of the league's best closers and is still one of the best isolation scorers. But he has declined. Last season, Bryant averaged 0.90 points per play in isolation settings and shot 37.7 percent in isolation (with an effective field goal percentage of 40.8 percent). He scored on 41.9 percent of his isolation plays, which just doesn't measure up with the guys that are to follow him on this slideshow.
Kobe has changed his game and become more post-oriented, and now his role has changed with Dwight Howard and Steve Nash joining the Lakers. Accordingly, his usage rate will go down this season. The Lakers have had to heavily rely on Bryant until this season, and now he's likely to see an up-tick in efficiency, and he's likely to shoot much better shots.
The Black Mamba's days as an elite isolation player may be coming to an end, and that's why he's fallen to No. 7 on this list. Without debate, he would have headed the list years ago.
Will Melo focus more on doing what he does best, or continue to shoot ill-fated jumpers?
The Knicks led the league in isolation plays last season, with 16.8 percent of their offense coming from isolation. They ran 1,183 plays in isolation last year, and Carmelo Anthony was the recipient of most of those plays.
His usage rate of 32 percent ranked fourth in the NBA last year, and he did well with those opportunities, hitting 45.4 percent of his two-point field goals and he shot a true shooting percentage of 52.5 percent.
The thing that keeps Anthony from going higher on this list is how many long two-point jumpers he settles for. He shoots only 36.9 percent on two-point shots from 10-plus feet, and he took almost eight of those per game last year. He also likes to settle for threes, which is even worse, since he shoots 30.5 percent from behind the arc.
He needs to focus on getting to the rim. He had the eighth-best free throw rate of all small forwards, and if he could get that up into the top four or five, his scoring average would improve dramatically. After all, Melo shoots 80-plus percent from the line, and he finishes well enough at the rim that he shouldn't hesitate to take the ball all the way there.
If Melo spent as much time analyzing his advanced stats as analysts do, he would have drawn this conclusion a long time ago. Until he does, he'll continue to post impressive scoring numbers—and the Knicks will continue to be mediocre.
He's a very good player, that's indisputable; he's not very good at making teammates better nor doing the things that best suit his skill-set.
John Hollinger of ESPN (subscription required) even makes the point that he is a "dominant power forward masquerading as a 3." While Melo likely won't make the shift to power forward, it seems maybe he should. He's best suited getting at the rim, and he's just not doing nearly enough of it.
Jeremy Lin has struggled this preseason, but things may get better with James Harden coming aboard.
Putting Jeremy Lin this high on a power rankings list of isolation scorers may seem "Linsane," but only if you're the type of fan to discredit a player solely based on hype without actually looking at what he did on the court.
Last season, Jeremy Lin posted the third-highest Points per Possession rank in the NBA on isolation plays, scoring 1.02 points per isolation. His field goal percentage in isolation was 43.1 percent and he had the third-highest field goal percentage on jumpers made off the dribble last season, with 47.9 percent. Only Steve Nash and Stephen Curry shot higher percentages off the dribble.
Lin may not be quite on the All-NBA level that people pegged him to be when he had his incredible series of breakout games, but he's not far off either. The question will be whether or not he can do it this season in Houston, as he has struggled mightily in the preseason so far.
With the Rockets acquiring James Harden, some pressure will be removed from Lin. Harden can be the high usage alpha dog, and he'll attract double teams to take pressure off Lin.
Part of Lin's success comes because the Knicks led the NBA in isolation plays last season, so the offense was designed for he and Carmelo Anthony to do their thing one-on-one. But if Lin is as good in isolation long-term as he was during his breakout (half) season last year, then he warrants a place this high on this list.
Kyrie Irving had the 12th highest usage rate in the NBA last year, as a rookie.
Kyrie Irving ranked second in single covered isolation plays last year, scoring 1.07 points per play, while shooting 48.7 percent in isolation and shooting an effective field goal percentage of 51.3 percent. His 50.7 percent scoring percentage on isolation plays also ranked second in the league. And overall, Irving shot 49.1 percent from two-point range last year.
Irving may not be relegated entirely to the perimeter in the future either. In single-covered post-up plays last season (only nine total), Irving had the sixth highest points-per-possession, scoring 1.11 points in the post per-possession.
Considering that only Al Horford and Gerald Wallace are relevant players ahead of him on this list (Greivis Vasquez, Michael Redd and Kosta Koufos round out the irrelevance), the argument can be made that Irving could eventually be the best post scoring guard in the NBA. Nine plays is hardly a huge sample size to base this on, but Irving's talent lends credence to the fact that he could eventually be posting a lot of opposing point guards up in the future.
The only point guard with a higher point-per-play rating in isolation is the player next on this slide show, a guy who Irving may eventually eclipse with more work and more time in the NBA. Irving must improve aspects of his game, still, though.
Irving shot only 35.3 percent off of the dribble last year, which ranked 62nd in the league. As the Cavaliers continue to add more talent and Irving improves, that figure should rise dramatically. For now, he'll continue to utilize his handles and speed in getting to the rim.
Irving shot 196 free throws last year (hitting 87.2 percent), and can continue to increase his free-throw attempts by remaining focused on getting to the basket and settling less for pull-ups. Right now, Irving is ranked high based on what he has done, but his potential to go number one on this list eventually hasn't escaped our grasp.
Kyrie Irving is only 20 and shot 60.4 percent at the basket as a rookie. In three years' time, he could enter the elite territory occupied by the top two players on this list.
CP3 is the highest ranked point guard in isolation plays.
Chris Paul occupies the third spot on this list, but his game is radically different than the other isolation scorers mentioned in this slideshow. The Clippers were fourth in the league in isolation offense, with 13.5 percent of their plays being iso-plays for Paul or Blake Griffin.
Paul's game is predicated upon getting teammates involved, and that hurts his usage rate. Paul ranked 61st in the NBA in usage percentage at 24.4 percent last year, a result of mostly using his possessions to set up Griffin and DeAndre Jordan at the rim.
Still, what Paul does in isolation shouldn't negate the fact that he is great when isolated. He hit 44.5 percent of his two-point shots beyond ten feet and hit 49.7 percent from three-to-nine-foot shots, which ranked him fourth in the NBA. His tear drop jumper is his go-to weapon after breaking down his man in isolation and his deft ball handling skills lead to very few turnovers considering his high usage.
Last year, Paul averaged a career-low 2.1 turnovers per game, and considering he is the key to the Clippers' offense, that's a good sign for their chances as title contenders this year.
Placing Paul this high on a list of isolation scorers may seem a bit unorthodox, but one can't argue with the results he has produced in isolation situations. The fact that he chooses to use isolation opportunities to set up teammates around the basket or hit jumpers in traffic doesn't change the fact that he's still one of the league's best in isolation situations.
LBJ finishes better than anyone in the league.
LeBron James has continued to improve his post game and his jump shot, and the hard work has translated to success. Last year, he was No. 2 in points per possession, averaging 0.88 points per possession.
He's nearly impossible to stop when he gets hot, and he shot 55.6 percent on two-point field goals last year, which ranked the highest among all small forwards. He also had the third-highest usage rate of all players last season, with a usage percentage of 32.1 percent.
James is the Heat offense. As good as James is at creating for himself, he's just as effective at getting teammates involved, averaging 6.2 assists per game last season. His assist percentage (33.8 percent) ranks higher than all of the players in the top 10 for usage except for point guard Derrick Rose.
But this isn't really about how well James involves teammates. It's about how good he is in isolation.
James got to the line 501 times last year, a result of how impossible he is to stop once he gets a step on a defender. He was first among all small forwards in shooting percentage and second among all small forwards in points per minute.
He almost led the NBA in shooting percentage at the rim at 75.4 percent and he was fourth in the league in shooting three-to-15-foot shots. It's all a testament to what a 6'8", 265 pound frame can do.
When James gets a full head of steam, he's likely going to either score or get to the line. Against the Boston Celtics, arguably the league's best defensive team, he shot 52.7 percent from the floor and averaged 33.6 points.
What's scary is that James is only just now entering his prime. With the offensive refinements he has made in adding a post game and continuing to strengthen his long range shooting, he will remain a fixture in the league's best isolation scorers.
The number one scorer is also the best isolation scorer. Surprise?
Kevin Durant led the league in points per possession last year. By far. Durant scored 0.95 points per possession, which ranks .07 points per possession higher than LeBron James, who clocked in at No. 2.
Durant's usage rate was 31.5 percent, and his two-point field goal percentage was 53.5 percent, which ranks higher than than all of the players in the top 10 in usage, besides James (55.6 percent).
Durant's isolation game is so unstoppable because of his length. At 6'9" with a 7'5" wingspan, his pull-up jumper is almost impossible to block, and merely getting a hand in his face does little to deter him from taking and hitting the shots. His shot is smooth coming off screens, and even though opposing defenses expect Durant to shoot (he averages only 3.5 assists per game), it doesn't seem to make him any easier to stop.
Durant shot a true shooting percentage of 61 percent last year, as he improved his three-point stroke to a career-high 38 percent. Adding that weapon is only going to make it even more difficult to stop him, and he hit 72.2 percent of his shots at the rim.
He can shoot. He can finish. And he can score. He's the best in the NBA in isolation, and it's not really as close as James supporters would like to believe.

Florida's Open Roads Beckon Motorcyclists
By Frances Robles, VISIT FLORIDA
Ocean views, sugar-cane fields, wildlife and year-round access make for the ideal motorcycle experience.
For motorcycle enthusiasts, Florida breaks the rules.
Sunshine State roads aren't known for death-defying twists and turns, and we prefer to keep things at sea level.
Yet there's a reason Motoryclist magazine ranked the zip from the Everglades to the Keys as one of the 10 best in the country: From beautiful ocean views to sugar cane fields and alligators, Florida boasts spectacular scenery best seen from the seat of a cruiser.
"People like Florida, because it's year-round riding," said Bill Belei, founder and editor of MotorcycleRoads.com, a site that ranks and reviews open roads around the country. "Bikers are like Canadian geese: They head south. Certainly in the winter, people love to head south and ride through the winter."
"There are three things that make any road better than average for a motorcyclists: scenery, twisties and back roads appeal." –Erik Barthel, OpenRoadJourney.com
Florida's roads also are in good condition and usually offer riders plenty of places to stop and relax. There are enough side roads to avoid the dreaded interstate, and a number of hidden gems are tucked in state parks.
Whether you're the rider who wants a smooth road to take you from lunch spot to tavern – or looking to avoid humanity all together – Florida has the right ride and plenty of shoreline.
"From our perspective, you ride in Florida primarily for the scenery," said Frank Strouse, who runs motorcycleroads.us, another road-listing site. "Riders live to avoid the interstate, which we kindly refer to as 'super slab.' It's just a boring ride.
"The thing about riding a motorcycle that you don't get riding in a car is, you're out in the open. You get
all the smells and all the sounds you don't get in the car. That adds to the beauty, particularly when there is plenty of ocean."
Motorcycleroads.us lists 135 motorcycle roads statewide, from short rides just a few miles long to the 125-plus mile journey through the Overseas Highway to Key West. His site ranks the Overseas Highway route to Key West as No. 1 in the state. The two-lane highway has stunning hues of water on both sides for much of the ride.
"You feel like a seagull," said Bill Andrews, an avid motorcycle enthusiast and former photographer for the American Motorcyclist Association. "It's just a gorgeous ride. There's emerald water and blue skies, plus you can island-hop. You stop at small town fishing shacks along the way and find something new every time. I never tire of it."
To avoid the highway doldrums on the way to the Keys, take Card Sound Road and stop at Alabama Jack's for lunch. You won't see much water in Key Largo, but the joy begins in Indian Key Fill and continues for miles. Head south and don't stop till you hit the water.
Andrews also suggests the ride from Naples along Tamiami Trail. Look out for gators and turtles along the way.
He also likes A1A heading south from St. Augustine to Ormond Beach, an oceanfront ride that's largely condo-free along the shore.
"What this road lacks in 'back road' appeal and twists and curves, it makes up for in ocean scenery taking you past many great Florida beaches," said Erik Barthel of OpenRoadJourney.com. "Ride it north through Guana River State Park (Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve) to get the best that this road has to offer. This is by far one of the favorite roads of our members."
Rich Proia, owner of American V Twin gear shop in Orlando, likes Route 27 to Miami through Central Florida.
"It's nice riding – sugar cane fields and lots of lakes," Proia said. "There's nobody out there except you and the alligators."
Here are other recommendations from the experts:
The Ozello Trail Ride: "A short but sweet nine-mile motorcycle road on the Gulf Coast of central Florida, and riders love it for the curves," Belei said. The trail, also known as County Road 494, snakes west from U.S. 19 and bends north. Mullet jump in the salt marshes; deer and turkey thrive in the oak hammocks. The dozens of curves makes this a biker favorite, but look out for the 35 mph speed limit.
Route 98 from Pensacola to Crystal River: This nearly 400-mile ride offers sweeping vistas of the Gulf of Mexico. Known as the "Forgotten Coast," the Apalachicola Bay is one of the highlights. Some of the developed areas have stop signs, so hit those areas at lunchtime – when you're looking to slow down for a bite to eat.
The Sugarloaf Mountain Ride (Belei's site describes this as a favorite among central Florida Motorcyclists): "With its hilly inclines and tight corners, Sugarloaf Mountain offers a dramatic change of landscape from the normally flat terrain of Florida." He says the scenery becomes more wooded and sparsely populated at the northern side of Lake Apopka, but "the real ride begins on Old Country Road 561, which is situated on the western side of the lake. This road and Old Country Road 455 make a nice loop around Sugarloaf Mountain, complete with winding curves and rather steep inclines for Florida. Atop the mountain you can look to the east and see Lake Apopka, as well as the Orlando skyline on the distant horizon."
Scenic Route 13 near Jacksonville: This 38-mile ride goes along the St. Johns River from Fruit Cove to Spuds.
Route 441: Bikers recommend Holopaw to Belle Glade, a 112-mile ride past Lake Okeechobee. This makes a great scenic alternative to the Florida Turnpike.
The Green Swamp Tour: Routes 33 and 50 northeast of Tampa circle the Green Swamp Wilderness Preserve, an official Florida protected area.
County Route 42, Summerfield to De Land: This ride skirts the Ocala National Forest.
North of Land O' Lakes, using 41 as a base point: The final road is really a couple of roads pieced together for a nice day ride. Great scenery, back roads appeal and some nice curves to lean the bike through a bit."
Next up is Lake Lindsey Road off US 41 to S. Istachatte Rd and County Rd 39, which Barthel describes as "another great little back road offering good scenery and that off-the-beaten-path feel."
The first exit to take is Ehren Cut-off – a good old fashioned back road with some nice sweeping curves to lean that bike through a bit. "Expect to see a lot of horses and cows," he says.
"Why are these the best? There are three things that make any road better than average for a motorcyclists: scenery, twisties, and back roads appeal," he added. "The first two are pretty obvious, the third is the reason you ride – to get away from it all and escape to something that's not cookie cutter or McDonalds like. You can't find that on a highway.
"If you find a road that hits all three, you've got nirvana."

The Pencil Skirt version of Simplicity 9825, a 4 gore, yoked skirt. Easy to make and very flattering. I added a lining and some bias trim with a navy and white diagonal stripe on it so the skirt wasn't so "uniformy" as I used a pretty boring navy fabric. The first pictures show me wearing it with a Burda Lydia T-shirt. The skirt is blogged here
A very cheap stretch cotton sateen.

2 post removed, If you cant be civil towards one another.... use the ignore user function.
I'm new to Ann's work, I thought this was decent (3.5 @ best) the art was a little inconsistent though, plus the eyes got a be "all white" throughout the book, not just on the cover, also, i think having an inker would help as well.
I write comic book reviews every Wednesday using pages from each book. Check it: Is It Good?: All the Best Books of the Day Reviewed!
Ok my LCS sold out & if I want a copy I have to order one. What I wanted to know is would anyone recommend the book? Or shoul I just skip it?
"My name is Blink. Who do you THINK is faster?"
Taste is of course always subjective, but it seems more people liked it and some surprisingly liked it (expecting not to), over those who did not like it. I myself found it to be one of the best first issues of the New 52 so far, of course it remains to be seen if Ms. Nocenti can maintain the standard set forth in this first issue over time.
Pull list:
Batgirl, Justice League Beyond 2.0, Letter 44, She-Hulk, Swamp Thing
Amazing Spider-Man, Inhuman, Ultimate FF
Except no ones likes it.
You need to be careful that your 'liberal' nature doesn't make you into a sexist. I'm as liberal as they come, but you're accusing us male readers of disliking Nocenti because she's female. I love all sorts of writers, male and female. They all have a thing in common that they are GOOD writers. Nocenti is not a good writer. Don't turn this into something it isn't. Playing the sexist card is like the Hitler card. You lose by default.
Yeah, same here. But this is all off-topic anyway. The thread is being derailed by one poster calling people who didn't think this was a very good issue sexist, then refusing to engage with the criticisms of their own statements put forth to show how asinine that assertion is. Which is both insulting and illogical. But that's fine, because there's a reason that there's an ignore list function.
Honestly, I was actually surprised by how good the book was, but that was because I didn't expect a three-star book from Nocenti. This has nothing to do with her biology. And Katana is a character I really like, but that doesn't stop this from being a mediocre book. As I said earlier on, I hope that the future issues are better, because I really want the series to have legs and if it maintains this level of quality, it won't.
Looking for artists, know I won't find any. That blows.
Really? Can you provide the sources as to how "no one(s) likes it"? Or do you simply mean your own singular opinion, which I think is more likely the case. I know for a fact that I have read online more than one positive review. But here, don't believe me I actually can and do provide links, so here's a few:
And as I've stated previously, admittedly there have been reviews all over the map. Some have really liked it, and some have really not. But that is most certainly no indication in any factual sense that "no one(s) likes it."
I've never accused anyone of the sort. If you'd reread my comments you will notice I said my point of discussion may be relevant to some parties in the most general sense, but there was no blanket statement condemning any totality of a group or anyone specifically in the slightest:
And last I checked a female can be just as sexist to her own gender, and vice versa with men and their own gender, so there's that too.
Please note, all of the above is essentially my reply.

I liked the first issue, I'm becoming more selective these days but will be giving Katana a chance for at least the first story arc.
I thought it was a decent first issue and I didn't have any trouble following the storyline unlike some of the other stuff of hers that I have read in the past. Not so sold on the art but it was solid enough but it wasn't in a style that particularly appealed to me.

Gates Says He Wept Each Evening Over Troops' Deaths
Originally published on Mon January 27, 2014 8:08 am
The news from former Defense Secretary Robert Gates' interviews with NPR and other news outlets — notably, how he uses a new book to criticize many in the White House — has now been widely reported.
But we also want to point to two passages in his conversation with Morning Edition host Steve Inskeep that particularly struck us.
His Tears
Speaking about the condolence letters he would write each evening to the families of fallen troops, Gates said:
"I was determined that these young people would not just become statistics for me. And so I started out by handwriting parts of the — of the condolence letters.
"And then — and even then that wasn't enough, I felt. And I so then I started asking that every time one of these packets came to me, that it'd have a picture of the — of the soldier or sailor, airman or Marine who'd been killed, along with the hometown news so that I knew, you know, what their coaches and their parents and their brothers and sisters and teachers were saying about them, so I felt like I had some personal knowledge about each one of them.
"And I would write those condolence letters every evening."
Asked whether that became difficult, Gates shared this personal memory:
"It didn't take too long. I think that quite honestly, in the — in those evening sessions, writing the condolence letters, there probably wasn't a single evening in nearly 4 1/2 years when I didn't — when I didn't weep."
At another point in the conversation, Gates says he "came to realize in the early spring of 2011 that my preoccupation, my priority had become protecting [the troops] from further sacrifice, perhaps at the expense of hard-headed objectivity in terms of the use of our military. And I was becoming emotional when I was around the troops and thinking about the troops. And all of that contributed to my decision on the specific timing that it was time to go."
He left the Pentagon in June 2011.
His Fear
Gates says one of the toughest decisions he made while leading the Pentagon, was to extend the typical combat tour from one year to 15 months.
"I have no statistics to prove it," he said, "but I believe that those 15-month tours had to have aggravated the post-traumatic stress problem and probably the suicide problem. ...
"As one of my junior military assistants put it, 15 months brought into play the 'law of twos.' You miss two Christmases, two birthdays, two anniversaries and so on, and I think that had a consequence."

Starbucks closed before stated time on Saturday when we were planning on having 'breakfast' there. Cost of parking ($20 / night) seems high.
The staff was extremely helpful and the hotel was modern clean and well maintained.
Like any Marriott it was a large, generic hotel with no charm or elegance to speak of. Not a four star hotel unless the top number of stars is six. It was nice but not exceptional.
Yes I booked it at one price and hen he price was changed and jacked way up instead of me payin the XXX a night like Priceline said I paid XXX dollars for two nights no room service or anything they lied to me and so did Priceline
They were working on the sprinkler system in the hall and it was pretty loud. I think the staff should have moved us since they knew that there would be construction on our floor.
The hotel was well appointed and we were given a river view room on a high floor. The bed was comfortable and there were some good television stations.
There is only valet parking available, at $22 a night which is a bit steep. Somehow I think this should be taken into consideration during the bidding process, but it wasn't.
It used to be a Peabody hotel and still has some of the same character. Good location and only real drawback is the valet parking (and $22 parking fee per night.)Location and cleanliness
For the price there was no free continental breakfast, there were high charges on parking there was no frig in the room bed was way to soft
All and all the hotel was way over priced for the amenities that they offer there are other hotels in the area that offer more for the money there need tobe some changesThe fact that they upgraded us to a presidential suite when there was no hot water.
After a long and tiring drive we found the water in the shower tepid. The engineers couldn't fix it for 2 hours. We finally had to ask to be moved at 10:30 pm. Thankfully they moved us to a spectacular suite.
Staff was v friendly. Great location. Ultimately we had a great stay.

Plot & Details
One of Oscar Wilde's most popular plays is given a new screen interpretation in this period comedy. In New York in the early '30s, Mrs. Erlynne (Helen Hunt) is a widow who lives comfortably through the largesse of several married men, and when she runs out of wealthy suitors in Manhattan, she decides to find greener pastures among the wealthy elite of Italy's Amalfi coast. Mrs. Erlynne sets her sights on Robert Windermere (Mark Umbers), a wealthy Englishman who is married to the young, innocent and very beautiful Meg (Scarlett Johansson). Mrs. Erlynne gingerly tries to separate Robert from his wife and his money, fueling suspicions within Amalfi society as well as the audience that they are involved. Humiliated and ready to beat him at his own game, Meg begins to consider the advances of the handsome Lord Darlington (Stephen Campbell Moore), one of her husband's close friends. In the midst of all the attempted infidelity, the genially eccentric Tuppy (Tom Wilkinson) struggles to win Mrs. Erlynne's hand, while only one of the interconnected parties know that she carries a shocking secret. A Good Woman was based on Wilde's Lady Windermere's Fan, with its title drawn from that show's subtitle, "A Play About a Good Woman."

Germany's Capital Market and Corporate Governance
Germany's capital market relies on bank-intermediated products and not so much on capital market processes. Two of the pillars in Germany's three-pillar banking system, the savings banks and the cooperative banks, have special statutes and are not exposed to the control of the capital market through the usual threat of a change in ownership. Savings banks enjoy public guarantees. In the financing of firms, bank credits are far more important relative to market products - equity and bonds - than in the Anglo-Saxon countries. Moreover, banks so far have had a dominating position in corporate control through their holdings and their votes in the supervisory board in Germany's two-tier system of corporate governance. In this system block holdings are a relevant element. With the banks themselves under the pressure of changed international conditions, the German system of corporate control has yet to prove its viability.Download Info

The tape doesn't stick to the threads.
You should be able to unscrew the joint and the tape should just peel right off. When you tape, make sure you go in the direction that the female side will screw so that the female side doesn't push against the trailing edge of the tape but rather goes with it.
Also, only put enough tape to cover the threads completely - but not excessively (2 complete revolutions usually works for me - others and pros may differ).
Third, you should consider using pipe joint compound. Some people prefer joint compound to tape. Some prefer tape to compound. Some prefer both...

George Y. Bollinger became our thirteenth Sheriff on January 2,1893, serving a single two year term. George's father Christian, whom Bollinger Road is named after, came to California in 1852. The Bollinger's purchased large tracks of land in San Mateo County. Eventually the family ranch was sold to the Spring Valley Water Company, who built the Crystal Spring lakes.
Sheriff Bollinger became the first Sheriff of Santa Clara County born in the State of California. He was born in San Mateo County on October 13, 1856, and graduated from Redwood City High School. When George was 18 years old, he was arrested in San Jose for disorderly conduct. According to the San Jose Weekly Mercury, dated May 14, 1874, George was arrested for driving a carriage down Santa Clara Street while intoxicated, and spent the night in the city jail. On the 22nd of April, 1877, George married Hattie Parks of San Jose; they were married for 44 years.
From 1884 to 1887, he ran a livery stable in Hollister, later returning to his ranch on Bollinger Road in San Jose where he raised high grade cattle and racing horses. In the November 1892 election, Bollinger ran for sheriff on the Democratic ticket, beating 3 other candidates. In June 1894, near the end of his term as Sheriff, Santa Clara County was hit hard by a general railroad strike. The railroad workers, acting in sympathy with the eastern railroad men, paralyzed the state. The fruit growers in the valley were hit particularly hard because their crops were ready for shipment. They were unable to get their harvest to the markets. Sheriff Bollinger took the matter into his own hands and used 70 Deputized Officers to enter the train yards to break up the strike. He even drove the first engine, carrying fruit from the San Jose yard.
After leaving office in January 1895, he retired and returned back to his ranch where he died on June 11, 1921 at the age of 64 years.

(VAN NUYS, CA) -- It has nothing to do with the change of seasons or global warming, but Middletown New York is hot and getting hotter this month. Thanks to the most popular pornstar on the planet Tera Patrick and Jennas Gentlemans Club, April is going to be a scorching month. Tera will appear at Jennas for a special one-night engagement on April 30th. Storming the stage at 10pm and midnight, Tera will give the crowd at Jennas something to remember with her world-renowned stage show. ''I always do my best to put on a great show,'' says Tera. ''But I am going to make sure this one is something special. Jennas is a great club with hot girls, a fantastic vibe and excellent ownership. Its a great place to dance and I am going to make sure to give fans something they wont forget.'' Jennas Gentlemans Club is the perfect place for business or pleasure. They offer top-shelf liquor and beer, brand new champagne rooms and new expanded hours to meet all of your adult entertainment needs. Now open from 1pm to 4am seven days a week and featuring new dancers every day, Jennas is always the place to be. With Tera on board for kick-ass one-night engagement it will be a spectacular night to remember. Jennas Gentlemans Club is located at 7 Canal St. In Middletown NY. (845) 344- 1733 www.jennasgentlemensclub.com About Tera Patrick Tera Patrick is the number one pornstar in the world today. With a classy, exotic, and more Glamour Queen than Porn Queen look, a voluptuous body, and keen sense for business, Tera has transcended hardcore to mainstream celebrity, emerging as the millenniums first authentic global sex symbol. Born in Great Falls, Montana to an American Army doctor father of English and Dutch descent and a Thai mother, Tera moved around quite a bit as a child both in the U.S. And overseas, gaining a valuable, early understanding of different peoples and cultures. At the tender age of 13, she was discovered by a Japanese photographer on Fishermans Wharf in San Francisco and immediately enrolled in the venerable Barbizon Modeling School. Soon after, Tera signed with Morning Sun modeling agency and became an overnight success in both print and runway, spending most of her teen years as a working model in Japan, Europe, and New York. Upon returning to the U.S. after immense success overseas, Tera felt compelled to give something back and removed her high heels long enough to enroll in Boise State University to take undergraduate classes in biology. Finding helping others truly fulfilling, Tera pursued a career in medicine by earning a certificate as an emergency medical technician and studying until she achieved a degree to be a registered nurse. She landed jobs in nursing homes and emergency rooms in Simi Valley, California, clearly becoming the sexiest girl in white her hospital had ever seen. Even though Tera genuinely enjoyed nursing, friends convinced her to get back into modeling. She soon found herself at an open audition for Playboy and was selected from among a thousand ambitious and gorgeous ladies for both the magazine and Playboy TV. In the blink of an eye, Tera Patrick was gracing the covers of every important mens publications, including Hustler, Club, Swank, Velvet, High Society, and Cheri. She remains the only woman to ever grace the covers of Playboy and Penthouse simultaneously and she still holds the laudable position of publisher of Genesis magazine. And to this day, she is the only erotic performer to appear on the cover of the domestic FHM. She also appeared on the cover of FHM U.K., where she served as the magazines sexpert for four years. A hopeless exhibitionist, Tera further explored her sensuous side and in late 1999 she stepped onto the big and small screens, accepting roles in various nude and soft-core features like the Seduction of Maxine and other ''skin-a-max''-type soft-core flicks. While her first film, Aroused, directed by adult visionary Andrew Blake, was indeed a hardcore film, she only performed with a girl making her role in the film soft-core.. Her first hardcore film (girl-boy) came later that year/next year in the Adam & Eve production Fire and Ice. Teras naughty notoriety spread even further through her co-hosting role on Night Calls 411 on Playboy TV from 2000-2003. In her almost 10 years in the entertainment business, Tera has been featured in over 100 adult films and has appeared on more magazine covers than any other adult star in history. Since winning the coveted ''Best New Starlet'' award for her first film, Tera has gone on to win every major award in the medium and she continues to set records on the adult charts. In 2002, she met the man of her dreams Evan Seinfeld of the HBO prison drama Oz and founder/lead singer/bassist of the multi-platinum hardcore Brooklyn rockers Biohazard. After a whirlwind romance, the couple tied the knot in Las Vegas on Jan. 9, 2004 and currently reside in California. In 2003, Tera and Evan formed their own production company, Teravision. Tera exploded as a contract star (a ''Vivid Girl'') for porn giant Vivid Entertainment, but the dynamic duo was confident they could produce top quality adult fare on their own. Today, Teravision releases two High Definition erotic adult movies each month via U.S. distribution through Vivid and their porn empire goes beyond Teravision. They also have a licensing and marketing division (the Tera Patrick Agency), a lingerie line (Mistress Couture), a radio show (Rockstar/Pornstar on Playboy Radio on Sirius), a hardcore production company (Iron Cross), and some of the most popular porn websites on the Internet, including their official flagship site, TeraPatrick.com. Tera's superstar status has also been furthered by countless appearances in the mainstream media, including a cameo in the blockbuster will Farrell comedy Blades of Glory, a storyline based on her and co-starring her on Cartoon Networks Aqua Teen Hunger Force, an appearance in the video game Backyard Wrestling 2: There Goes the Neighborhood, and her role a spokesperson and downloadable character for the video game Saints Row 2. Mainstream fans also know Tera from various specials and shows on CNBC, HBO, We, MTV, E!, VH1, and of course, the Howard Stern Show. Tera is booked solid on an exhaustive schedule; celebrity appearances from Conventions like AVN, and Exxxotica , to Video stores and record stores and even DJs at the hottest clubs in America, in NY, Miami, Chicago, Reno, Los Angeles, and many more, including several appearances each year at the top grossing nightclub-restaurant in the world, Tao Las Vegas. Tera is the top feature dancer selling out gentlemans clubs around the world and is getting ready to heat up Las Vegas with her very own live burlesque show! Tera is also extremely active in the adult film community, raising money for Causes such as the Free Speech Coalition and A.I.M Healthcare and the cancer- battling organization, B.A.B.E. (Breast Awareness Benefits Everyone). Currently, Tera has three mainstream instructional fitness videos Being released, titled Fit for Sex, with the company that brought us Carmen Electras Aerobic Striptease. And, she begins hosting her new show, School of Sex on Playboy TV, this fall in which Tera gives sex advice while her teachers helpers act-out the advice. She will also star in her new burlesque show, Sex, which debuts in January 2009. Tera and Evan are currently writing their joint autobiography Rockstar/Pornstar: An American Love Story with entertainment journalist Carrie Borzillo-Vrenna, author of Cherry Bomb: The Ultimate Guide to Becoming a Better Flirt, a Tougher Chick, and a Hotter Girlfriend, and to Living Life Like a Rock Star and Eyewitness Nirvana: The Day-by-Day Chronicle.

It's so damn frustrating watching LeBron get mauled with no call, then turning the channel and watching someone like Durant go to the line 10-15 times shooting mostly jumpshots. Back in his Cleveland days (and the first two years in Miami), he got a ton of calls, but now all of a sudden he's getting the Shaq treatment. Really weird about-face.
Nothing against Durant, I just think it's funny that the calls LeBron used to get have transferred to him. Last edited by iro-bot31 : Yesterday at 10:44 PM. |

Oh he definitely gets calls and I'm exaggerating a bit due to frustration, but considering the amount of time he spends driving and in the paint he should statistically have a lot more. There was a stretch in tonight's game where he got fouled hard on five consecutive drives and the refs just stood there, and that's become more and more common this season. Fouls that he used to get called every time aren't being called, and it's perplexing.
Just a quick glance at his FTA shows that trend. In his last two years with the Cavs he averaged 10 FTA per game. His first two years with the Heat he was at 8.5. Last season and this season he is averaging 7 freethrows. Durant has gone the other way, from 7 freethrows to 8 to 10. Situations like tonight are why I can completely understand the urge to flop. I hate it and it sucks, but when you're consistently getting fouled and you're not getting calls it's got to be tempting to sell the contact and make sure the refs see it. Again, not condoning it, but I get the rationale. Last edited by iro-bot31 : Yesterday at 11:05 PM. |

I'm just annoyed by the whole "LeBron gets all the calls" thing when anyone who has watched a mjority of Heat games the past couple years know that's not really the case anymore, in relation to the other "superstars" of course.
In more important news, Blake Griffin with 22 in the first quarter! He's almost halfway to his career high (47) already! |

That was one of maybe 4-5 times that he got whacked with no foul called. I didn't get to watch tonight's game, so I can't comment. But I'm pretty sure that LeBron got fouled at some point in the act of shooting, and it just isn't getting called. |

Does Gortat not understand the history of fighting in the NBA?! (I realize this is a few days old, but I just heard it now, sue me).

The best live rock & roll show this side of the Mississippi.. no.. both sides of the Mississippi.
The Tick return! Well they never really left, but they're back with a new album this time entitled Negativity. The album name and lead single The Rock indicate we have a dark album on our hands. Knowing the Tick, there will still be some bangers on there and the live show will be as energetic and insane as ever. If you haven't seen these fine Providence, RI gentlemen live, its time you do. Their shows are folkloric and almost instantly legendary.
