I'd call 911 and obtain a position downstairs where I could watch both points of entry to the house, 590A1 in hand. My dog would be going crazy, so anyone jiggling the handle or attempting to ram on the door would clearly be up to no good (and probably has a death wish.)
If it seems that there are multiple people trying to gain access from both doors, I'm going to retreat to the basement and seal up in my "gun room"...AR15 will be then be retrieved. Wait on the cavalry from there. Unless glass is broken and door is about to be breached, I can't imagine a situation where I would fire through the door. |

The presence of a stranger near my front, or patio door, at night? Sounds like a 911 call, then a couple of alarm siren tweak's! That is loud.
Would not be too hard to kick my front door in, my first sight of your head coming up the stairs? Would have my TruGlo sights superimposed on it. The Police announce their Office, and reason to be in a premises, very loudly, and a lot! So no mistakes in that case. |

Calling the police is all fine and dandy but where I live if the cops are in a hurry its a good 20-25 min before they can get to my spot. I do occasionally get knocks late at night. Only house for miles and live near a very scenic overlook with a steep drive up to the overlook. Because its so far out cell coverage is very spotty but from our bedroom (or any other room on the second floor) we usually get 2 bars. Usually its just someone asking to use the LAN line or where they can find cell service.
What we do is I grab a pistol and my wife grabs the marlin (357 magnum carbine) and the cell phone and then I talk over the intercom (it was popular in the 1980s when the house was built to have an intercom). If they need to use the LAN line I have a wireless phone I can hand though the mail slot. But usually I just tell them there is cell service about 200 yards down the road and they leave. Pretty much everyone these days has a cell phone. If I called the cops every time someone came knocking at night the cops may not be in such a hurry to get out here next time. I also have 2 dogs. One is a rottweiler and the other is a minpin. The rottweiler is protective but sleeps heavy the minpin cant help but bark and that wakes up the rottweiler any time someone is around the house. I think its a good combination. They sleep on the main floor. I have also added one of those steel mesh doors to both the front and back door. They are pretty strong and its one more door to go through. But in all honesty the windows would be the weak spot but our bedroom and all our guns are on the second floor.
Shot placement is everything! I would rather take a round of 50BMG to the foot than a 22short to the base of the skull. all 23 of my guns are 45/70 govt 357 mag, 22 or 12 ga... I believe in keeping it simple |

Hindsight is that I personally would went and opened the door or went out another door, came around and found out what was going on. (Armed of course). They could of sincerely needed help.

Someone running in your backyard may not have ill intent. He may have been being chased by someone(s) who did have ill intent. They could be a teenager just running around and knocking trash cans over and such. It could be someone who just escaped from being kidnapped. There are multiple possibilities.
Here in my state, there was a recent case where a woman entered a house late at night, and a man fired a shot at the door. The woman was struck and did live. The man was her grandfather, and she had been staying with him for awhile. He had fired in the dark. Now, that said, I used to live a rural area and I recall one instance where the police where called about persons coming onto the property looking for someone who lived there, he wasn't there. It took the police 45 minutes to arrive. There is a reason everyone in that area kept a shotgun on deck. |

I would answer the door. Not everyone is out to get you. Someone banging on your door at 4am probably isn't trying to rob you. I would most definitely have a round chambered and my gun in my hand, but 99/100 it is someone in dire need of help.

Everyone is assuming that you can't identify the person on the other side of the door, and saying that shooting through a door is highly irresponsible. I'd like to point out that a lot of doors, especially a lot of back doors and side doors, have large window panes in them, and therefore it's possible you could identify the target and what is beyond it.
That being said, unless the person is clearly trying to break in or is armed and appears to have ill intent, shooting through the door is still a bad idea from a legal and moral standpoint. If someone was banging on my door at 4am, I'd prepare for ill intent (get my gun and have my wife with phone in hand ready to call 911), but before calling the police, I'd check to find out what the situation was. That includes going to a location where I can see what's going on, and verbally challenging the person at the door to find out who they are and what they wanted. However, I don't think you'd want to stand close to and in line with the door (in case they were armed and had no compunction against firing through a door), and I don't think you'd want to illuminate yourself by turning the lights on until you had a better understanding of whether the individual outside might have intent to harm you. I also prefer not to advertise that I have a weapon. While that might discourage the average bad guy, some might just alter their tactics to be prepared to deal with an armed person. I would instead say that the police have been called (whether we'd called them yet or not). I don't believe in calling the police until I've determined that there is a need. Too much of that can lead to the situation of Peter and the Wolf. |

I think common sense is about all a person needs but calling for help should probably happen sooner rather than later and if its a false alarm.. oh well, honest mistake.

Re calling 911 in this situation
What is the downside? If it is a bad guy, help is on the way for me. If it is a good guy in need, help is on the way for them. Make the call.

Last I heard PA say was "April Sometime" for the release. My guess is that we will be waiting for a while.
Last I heard PA say was "April Sometime" for the release. My guess is that we will be waiting for a while.
nobody has it yet it seems, but lots of interest for sure.........
what is it? a fat burner?
I'm getting mine in mid-april...it is being sold as an energy booster/fat burner but even PA said he really developed it for its energy properties. Seems to have been getting really good reviews from the people who received samples.
you must be special to know when you're getting yours when the rest of us (nobodies) gotta keep drooling and wait indeterminatelyOriginally Posted by MaNiaK1027
Yes special indeed! O, hell, I am PA's personal manwhore, Mike Bigelow Supplement Gigalow....I filled out the Muscle and Fitness stuff for the free giveaway and I am getting my AMP when they ship it out in Mid April!
I'm anxiously waiting too. PA posted on bb that they're having trouble synthesizeing the main ingredient, so it will now likely be after April before it's released. Based on the feedback at avant's forum, it sounds incredible.
well, let's keep a sense of perspective, here: it has a strong impact on breathing not totally unlike ephedrine & its kin, and beaucoup "tinglies" around the edges, which is also eph-like; it lacks eph's amphetamine-like shove, and that makes it much easier to deal with. Fat-burning properties unknown, according to PA as of the time of the public testing over @ Avant: he is (or was) positioning AMP as a pre-workout stim, and it'll work for that.
The test dose was more-or-less comparable to .25 tsp of Chocamine, just more ephedrine-like in some ways. Worth having? Definitely - I think the thing that impressed me the most was the ability to actually REST while on it. Is it "incredible"? well, no - not really...but I'll keep a bottle on hand, sure.
Well, I got my samples in. This morning I took 4 caps (2 doses) of Amp about an hour before lifting. I felt very stimulated, but comfortable. I was up, but there was no edge. Focus was good, and stamina was great. I took much less time between sets and really didn't want to stop lifting. I don't really use E/C before workout, makes me feel like my heart is about to jump out of my chest - Amp was not like this at all, I wasn't conscious of BP or HR. After my workout I went to my in-laws for Easter lunch. I was still 'up', but relaxed and almost euphoric. Came home and took a nap. I don't see sleeping while Amp is peaking, but as it's dropping off, it's very possible.
Overall, very good stuff, but I agree with BodyWizard - and I don't really understand the parallels to illicit drugs or the potential for abuse. Maybe with less caffiene or more of the active...? Nice, clean stimulation, without being jittery or edgy. Long lasting and smooth. Feeling of well being reminds me of when I first tried alcar. No crash at all when effects are wearing off. I'll definitely get some when it's out, but I'll probably only use it once or twice a week, as I usually train at night, and this just lasts too long, at 4-6 hours.
so, now that you've tried it, is it incredible?
Incredible may be a little much. If fat loss is good as EC, and you could safely take it everyday, then yeah, it would be incredible. I took two this morning, and I like it but two doesn't kick my ass. It's different, that's for sure, very smooth, and it's certainly a more convenient pre workout stim than my CM/Tyro/Alcar/Pira/Choline/Caff/CEE stack lol. It's a winner, and I'll definitely buy some.Originally Posted by BodyWizard
My partying days are pretty much over, but I bet Amp would make a long night of clubbing or drinking a little more interesting.
Intv, thanks for the smooth review. "Smooth" like Crown Royal? JK.
Sounds like your experience w/ it is very similar to mine.Originally Posted by intv
another bump for you Stryder, do you know when this stuff will be in?
I heard at Avant that it will be early May.
Should come out the first week of May...
This post is concerning the death of my husband, who was known on this board as "The Reporter." His death occurred on Sunday, April 10. The cause of death was "just classified as a heart attack." Although my husband did have hypertension, he was very healthy and worked out daily. This is a post warning all of you out there to just be very careful what "supplements" you purchase and injest or inject. I truly believe that my husband's consumption of "anything that will help him build muscle" was a contributor, if not the cause of his untimely death. He was 40 years old.
This message is not an intent to blame anyone, but a general warning to other body builders like my now deceased husband.
Thank you,
If anyone has any questions, you may personally e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
This is stunning.Originally Posted by The Reporter

It is now 20 days since my order was dispatched, I received it 7 days ago and no longer need it.
I have tried for one week to contact Shoprush. I have sent over 5 messages and emails, I have called every single day and nobody answers. I've asked on their Facebook page and I can see that they have replied to somebody elses query but ignored mine.
I just want a refund but if nobody gets back to me, what can I do??
I'm so furious with them, it's totally unacceptable. I already send the products back that costed me nearly £90.00 and also costed me 13.00 to send back and never heard anything from them
They are cheaper than elsewhere but i'll never use them again because their customer service is so awful, its not worth the savings. If you look at their Facebook page you'll see that i'm not the only one that feels this way. I would give 0 stars if it let me.

Twins cut ties with Ponson | |
Written by Admin |
Sunday, 13 May 2007 12:11 |
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -The Minnesota Twins have given up on Sidney Ponson. The right-hander said Sunday that he has been released, and he cleared out his locker and said goodbye to teammates one day after his latest disappointing outing. Ponson (2-5) gave up six runs - five earned - and six hits in just four innings during an 8-2 loss to the Detroit Tigers on Saturday night, the Twins' fourth straight defeat and eighth in 10 games. The Twins signed the 30-year-old starter to a one-year deal in the offseason, hoping the veteran could provide some stability at the back end of an unproven rotation. But Ponson struggled to keep opposing hitters off the base paths, allowing 74 runners in just 37 2-3 innings pitched this season. He has a 6.93 ERA and walked 17 batters in seven starts, an alarming number for a Twins coaching staff that abhors walks. Ponson said he will head to his home in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and hope for another call from a major league club. ``I'm just going to go home and wait,'' Ponson said. ``If nothing happens, nothing happens. No problem. I'll just go sit on the beach. ... If I do have a chance, I'll go full steam again and see what happens.'' Twins GM Terry Ryan and manager Ron Gardenhire were not immediately available for comment. They have several options to replace Ponson in the fifth spot in the rotation. Left-hander Glen Perkins has pitched well out of the bullpen this season, and he took over for Ponson on Saturday night, allowing two runs on three hits in four innings. The Twins also have several promising arms at Triple-A Rochester. Scott Baker, Matt Garza and Kevin Slowey have all pitched very well this season. |

Simple Tips for Weight Loss
As informative articles concerning the basics of losing weight go, the following one pretty well sums up those fundamental facts that anyone will need to know in order to lose the excess weight they need to lose. We hope you get something out of it and are able to apply its precepts to your own efforts and go on to achieve your own success.
There are plenty of things many folks will want to know sooner or later as soon as they reach the decision to try and lose some weight. They have most likely been busy doing reasearch of their own and have read a group of reports on numerous websites or blogs. Even so, these sites are generally discussing various different things or seeking to get you to buy the hottest have to have magic pills or whatever it is they are trying to sell. However eventually, they'll begin wondering what the best weight loss tips are for their own personal circumstances. Its not always so easy to believe the thing that they are reading that is sitting there before their very eyes in black and white.
The short answer that we can see, and there certainly is a brief answer although all the abundant amounts of items that have been written and are eventually to be written on the matter, is that the best advice are those that will provide a way to not merely lose weight, but to lose that weight in a healthy means so your body is toned and slim as can be whilst letting you hang on to that great looking, hale and hearty body for a really long time to come, that being what you want.
Whatever else there is is not a particularly high-quality hint, particularly if it hints at that you'll possess an elevated percentage chance of putting back the weight you lost over again, and some. So what is this enchanting formulation that remains hidden from a large amount of dieters and deserts them to attempt to lose weight solely to gain it again, followed by lose it once more solely to put it on once more, and so on? In any case, the simple precept is not essentially cryptic in any way, it has to be said. It is exceedingly humdrum and the reason a lot of men and women ignore it totally is because it is staring them straight in the face and is so apparent they merely can't see it!
It really is all concerning calories getting in to the body and calories being used by the body (burned). It is a basic decree of nature that you won't increase in weight if your body is metabolising at least as many calories which you use up through your diet. How you reach that stability is the conclusion of the individual. But another pretty critical modus operandi is that by undertaking ample exercise day by day to nurture your metabolism working to burn off the calories that you take in by way of food and drink, you should not increase in weight. Enhance that degree of exercise with the intention that your body burns larger amounts of calories than you take in and you will get underway to lose weight at the same time as reducing body size and toning up your body.
Its a given thing that whatever food you are going to eat is really important since it needs to be healthy. Yet its surprising how vital a point this is, which a good number of diet companies aim to enlighten you. You can try going with one of the better diet food delivery diets by the likes of Nutrisystem or similar and that will limit your calorie intake on a day to day basis. Then sufficient exercise will cut through and give you a negative calorie count for the day, resulting in net weight loss.
When all is said and done, it is sensible to keep things as easy as you can make it. After all, you want to lose weight but you also want to do it with the minimum of fuss and bother. Which, is most likely one of the best of the fundamental weight loss tips you are ever going to be presented with. At least in such a concise and informative article that you are likely to find in your travels, pretty much anywhere you care to look.

Michael Angel is Fit to Print
After taking a break from the backbreaking seasonal cycle for the past year and a half, Michael Angel is reentering the fashion conversation with a new capsule collection for Moda Operandi, which launches Monday. Known best for his innovative digital prints (that's right, even before the likes of Mary Katrantzou and Peter Pilotto made photo-realistic patterns a must-have), Angel "felt stuck before taking the break. There was so much digital print around me, and I thought, Am I going to go nuts or am I going to evolve the medium?" he told Style.com. "I've been able to reexamine why I started designing in the first place, and that reason was to showcase my art, or print. Now I can focus on the prints—which can go on anything, not just clothes, really—and be more adventurous with them. I'm finally doing it for myself, the way I want to do it."
Angel worked closely with Moda Operandi's director of ready-to-wear, Indre Rockefeller (she also consulted with several other labels that will be rolling out trunk shows on the site later in the week, including Stella Jean, Del Toro, and La Petite Caravane), to get a sense of the M.O. customer. The new prints were inspired by the human-rights movements of the sixties and seventies, so Angel introduced a vibrant tartan check to capture the rebellious spirit, and mashed it up with kaleidoscopic florals, stained-glass windows, and a ruffle motif that had three-dimensional appeal. The patterns are showcased on straightforward silhouettes such as cap-sleeve shift dresses, curve-hugging pencil skirts, and on-trend strapless crop tops. The unexpected standout was a stark white column gown that was actually lined with one of the prints so it had a subtle opacity to it—just a hint of pattern. While the ready-to-wear will sell at a designer price point ($595 to $2,200), Angel is also debuting a line of printed T-shirts and scarves that will go for less than $250.

Haute Click Couture
In November, one of the world's biggest haute couture collectors, Daphne Guinness, explained to the Telegraph that it was a "dying" art form. Don't tell that to the team behind Modewalk.com, a new luxury e-commerce site launching next week.
"Drawing on a rich history of craftsmanship traditions, haute couture epitomizes the peak of fashion as an art form," the group behind the site, Henri Deshays, Beatrice Pang, and Indre Rockefeller, told Style.com via e-mail. "We would like to use the Internet to enable modern clients from around the world to rediscover the genuine workmanship of this magical universe."
Modewalk is opening up its virtual doors with a carefully selected roster of Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture designers, including Alexis Mabille, On Aura Tout Vu, Alexandre Vauthier, and Christophe Josse, as well as ready-to-wear and accessory items by French designers (Paris is their "launch" city) you might not be familiar with. But they haven't reduced buying an $80,000 coat to the mere click of a button: "ModeWalk unveils the beautiful creative process and creates an emotional connection between the brands and our users," they said, offering the "crème de la crème of the Paris shopping experience."
Translation: Through the site, shoppers around the globe can book in-person appointments with designers, get runway show tickets, and access private sales.
ModeWalk.com launches January 23.

Investment strategists expect the S&P 500 will rise just 1.5% from its current level. While that's lackluster compared to the 12% gain logged during the first quarter, the small step higher would put the S&P 500 up more than 14% in 2012.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Wall Street just closed out its best first quarter in 14 years, but don't expect the impressive run to last forever.
Most experts think the recent momentum will slow, and say investors should be ready for a few dips along the way.
Investment strategists and money managers expect the S&P 500 will rise just 1.5% from its current level, according to an exclusive CNNMoney survey.
While that's lackluster compared with the 12% gain logged during the first three months of this year, the small step higher would put the S&P 500 up more than 14% in 2012 -- a far better return than last year's flat finish.
One reason stocks have been able to kick into high gear this year has been thanks to the European Central Bank's influx of cash into the European banking system, which has managed to stave off a credit crunch in Europe, said Kim Forrest, senior equity analyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group.
That has helped investors put Europe's debt crisis, which plagued the market throughout most of 2011, on the back burner for now. But worries that Greece may need another debt restructuring and concerns over Spain's debt problems are beginning to crop up, said Forrest.
Plus, doubts about how much longer China's economy can continue growing at a robust pace are also rising, added Forrest, whose year-end target for the S&P 500 stands at 1425.
"We think the news out of Europe and China could lessen the greed and increase the fear of investors," said Forrest. "That's going to add some volatility over the course of the year."
Forrest said she'll be closely tuning into second quarter earnings, as companies update their forecasts for the remainder of the year.
Some experts, however, are more optimistic about the global economy.
"Certainly China and other emerging markets have taken steps to ease their monetary policy and spur economic growth, and will probably continue to do so throughout most of this year, " said Bruce McCain, chief investment strategist at Key Private Bank."But there's a lag time until you'll see those changes take effect."
While China's economy will likely continue to decelerate through the summer, growth should pick up toward the end of the year and help spark a rally, said McCain, who expects the S&P 500 to close 2012 around 1550, up 10% from its current level.
However, McCain warns that before that strong finish kicks in, there may be a few bumps along the way.
With the risk of a severe meltdown in Europe off the table, he forecasts a fairly modest pullback of about 10% in the near-term.
"So far we've been willing to focus on all the positive signs, but prospects are growing for a dip over the next few months," he said. "But soon after, we'll be back on track for a rising market that could hit some new highs."

Some providers use the same for bothIt amazes me that ppl are asking the APN on a forum. Realy, it does. Get on the phone with your provider and ask it over there. Why waste time asking it here. Your support can give all the information you need concerning EDGE.
BTW, WAP is not EDGE. If i use the WAP APN, then i have the "E" also, but no connection. Mobile internet, or EDGE settings are different for each provider and different for wap, EDGE/GPRS and UMTS.
So, call support instead of asking on forums for the APN and the activation of the service. And if it wont work, the it ends there!

Reviews about Hawkwind albums
choose your masks | Reviewer: brian brown
------ About the album Choose Your Masques performed by Hawkwind
the album starts with choose your masks and to me should have been a big hit, great lead guitar by huw lloyd in the instrumental part of the song,and then from there its just superb and if you wanna get into it you gotta get out of it.
One of three Albums that are the absolute best of Hawkwind | Reviewer: John
------ About the album Choose Your Masques performed by Hawkwind
Choose Your Masques, Sonic Attack, & Chronicles of the Black Sword are the best albums ever created to disc. Even though, the band has gone through several member changes over the years, they continually create music that is way ahead of it's time. Not only lyrically, but musically as well! The studio/engineering that has gone into creating the sound on any one of these albums is..... speechless..
Each of these albums are intense and an aural assault on your grey matter, especially with headphones, hard driven, well crafted, well produced, and with the assistance of micheal moorcock's sci-fi books, these songs are created from the books and given life musically, These are 3 Albums i would like to have back in my collection but cannot find anywhere.
With over at least forty albums to their credit, and yes some are re-hash's of older material, brought into a new light, or concert audio never heard before, you really can't go wrong with any of their selections, i think.
Their older material, was more grateful dead like, tunes of yore, but somewhere after their 3rd album they definitely found their niche.
Even their recent contribution of "Take Me To Your Leader", has tunes that should beheard by all, but, then again, i must admit bias on my part.
If anyone who happens to actually read this knows where i can find the 3 copies of cd's as listed above, drop me a line, i would greatly appreciate it, so i can add it to my already large collection of their cd's.

Five Unrestricted Free Agents the Philadelphia Eagles Should Look at
By Lou DiPietro ,
April 15 isn't just tax day—it's the deadline for NFL teams to sign restricted free agents to an offer sheet.
That deadline has now come and passed, meaning that any dreams Eagles fans had of landing a player like O.J. Atogwe or D'Qwell Jackson are now relegated to trade fantasies.
Oddly enough, with all of the hubbub surrounding restricted free agency and its blockbuster potential, the Birds' signing of Mike Bell was the biggest poaching on that market.
So now, teams are left to choose out of the admittedly thin pool of unrestricted free agents. That doesn't mean that there aren't good players available, however, as several guys left on the list would be great fits in certain situations.
The Eagles have 11 picks in the 2010 NFL Draft. Five are in the first three rounds, and the Birds are expected to address needs at cornerback, safety, outside linebacker, and defensive end in some order—with another offensive lineman also a possibility.
No matter who they do end up drafting in those spots, there are a handful of unrestricted free agents available who fit the aforementioned molds.
These five, in particular, could be of good use in Philadelphia, either as a temporary fill-in or as a depth player that will allow them to draft heavily elsewhere.
Cartwright is never going to be an elite player, and he probably won't even be a starter wherever he goes. And yes, he's over 30, which is seemingly the de facto retirement age in Philadelphia.
But there's no doubting that he can be a "Rock" for the Eagles in a couple areas of need.
Cartwright was released by Washington earlier this spring and probably didn't do himself any favors after virtually trashing the organization on LaVar Arrington's D.C.-area radio show.
But he showed last season that he can at least be useful out of the backfield, racking up nearly 500 all-purpose yards after Washington lost both Clinton Portis and Ladell Betts for the year.
In addition, Cartwright was the Redskins' main kick returner for the last four years. He wasn't extraordinarily dynamic in that role, but he does hold the franchise's single-season record with 1,541 kickoff return yards and spent time on kickoff coverage teams as well.
The three-headed monster of Bell, LeSean McCoy, and Leonard Weaver means Cartwright (or Eldra Buckley, or whoever) will ideally see very few carries.
But look at the Birds' depth chart at KR; of the four names you'll likely see, two (Jeremy Maclin and Ellis Hobbs) are now full-time starters, Macho Harris still could be, and the fourth is Quintin Demps.
Cartwright is, honestly, a better return option than all four of them, and given the logjam ahead of him in the backfield he wouldn't be a "downgrade" from Buckley—who himself only got 15 carries in 2009.
For roughly $1m a year or so—he made $750K last year—Cartwright could be a huge steal.
Again, yeah, he's 30...but so was Brian Mitchell when the Birds signed him.
Again, Sharper is 34 and will be 35 in November. He's two years younger than Brian Dawkins, meaning he's a year away from hitting the age where "Weapon X" was de-commissioned.
So why not go out and get him for that year?
I'm sure by now the Eagles brass will, albeit in private and very begrudgingly, admit that they might have jettisoned Dawkins a little too early.
Signing Sharper can't make up for that, but it can help.
Age be damned, Sharper has always been very talented and is coming off a career year. In only 14 games, he tied his career high with nine interceptions and had his most combined tackles (71) since 2003.
In short, he's a rangy, ball-hawking center fielder who isn't afraid to lay in some licks.
Kinda sounds like Dawkins, no?
The downside is that he's apparently looking for a huge raise, reportedly double the $1.7m he made last year on a one-year deal with New Orleans.
But in an uncapped year, that might not be a problem for even the seemingly youth-committed Eagles.
If they can give him, say, $3m, or even $6m for two years and front-load the deal, he could be a very attractive "temporary" solution.
After all, the names on the roster at safety—Demps, Harris, Quintin Mikell, and newly-acquired Marlin Jackson—aren't exactly huge.
Signing Sharper (or even another veteran like Gibril Wilson or Clinton Hart) would allow them to draft a couple "potential" guys later in the draft and let them develop while a veteran holds down the fort.
Boiman actually was an Eagle for a time, as he was signed in March 2008 but released in final roster cutdowns.
He's a bit of a journeyman (six franchises in eight years) and at 30 isn't going to challenge for a starting spot anywhere.
But the Eagles boast Moise Fokou as their only current depth at the SAM, and he really didn't inspire a lot of confidence at times in 2009.
The Birds are likely to draft at least one player to shore up the strong side but could definitely use some veteran depth behind whoever ends up as the starter.
Boiman had a decent year in Kansas City in 2008 (73 tackles and seven passes defensed in nine starts) and can also help out on special teams.
He'll be relatively cheap, has a little bit of experience with the Philly system, and could slot nicely into a role similar to the one Tracy White filled for the last couple seasons.
Wade is one of those guys that you inevitably find on your fantasy team every year, that guy who fills in as your last receiver for a week or two when you're inundated with byes.
There's a reason for that: He's not bad.
He's not great, but he's not bad.
Last season was a down one for Wade (only 36 catches for 267 yards in Kansas City), but he put up back-to-back 645-yard seasons in Minnesota in 2007 and 2008 and can hold his own as the third or fourth receiver—which he would clearly be behind DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, and Jason Avant.
Wade can also help out on special teams, assuming he can cure the fumble-itis that has plagued him to the tune of a 17 percent fumble rate on career punt returns (13 fumbles on 78 returns). But he did a decent job on 40 dropbacks last season and also spent 2006 as the Titans' primary kickoff returner.
He can likely be had on the cheap, and with the departures of Kevin Curtis and Reggie Brown, the Eagles could use a true slot receiver in certain offensive sets.
Rumors are swirling that the Birds may be on the verge of signing Jeff Garcia for a third tour of duty with the team. He knows the system, and Garcia has said that he would relish the opportunity to come in and mentor Kevin Kolb.
But if that scenario doesn't work out, Brunell wouldn't be a bad second option.
Brunell was a starter for over a decade in the league, first with Jacksonville and later with Washington. In between, he started his career as a backup for Brett Favre and spent the last two years caddying for Drew Brees in New Orleans.
Although his Week 17 start last season for the Saints was his first game action in three years, Brunell really wouldn't be much of a "downgrade" from Garcia in any category behind system familiarity.
He's a solid hand and an accurate QB who knows how to win and could step in for Kolb or Michael Vick in a pinch.
The Jets have been rumored to be considering him as a potential mentor for Mark Sanchez, so Brunell's services in that regard are somewhat in demand.
If Garcia's not the guy, why not bring in the lefty?

It's never too early

I know, you're thinking it's too soon for Christmas. I almost agree. However, in this case, I couldn't pass up these retro-licious Christmas cards from Darling Clementine. Christmas is now less than two months away, and given my tendency to put off sending cards until the last minute, I figured I should order them now. Especially since they're coming all the way from Norway.
You can find these cards on Etsy for $25 for six ($19, plus $6 for shipping). If you're on my holiday mailing list, just pretend that you didn't notice this blog entry... OK?

South Korea coach Cho Kwang-rae has named a strong squad for the country's opening World Cup qualifier against Lebanon on September 2.
Cho has called up six Europe-based players though is without Bolton winger Lee Chung-yong (broken leg) and Wolfsburg midfielder Koo Ja-cheol (torn ankle ligaments).
After the 3-0 defeat in Japan on August 10, Cho has summoned young forwards Ji Dong-won of Sunderland and Hamburg's Son Heung-min, both of whom missed the game in Sapporo.
There are few surprises in the team with Hong Jeong-ho returning to the squad after being omitted last time due to questions over his involvement in the K-League's match-fixing scandal. The young defender has since been cleared of any wrongdoing.
"If we get all our usual defenders back in the fold, I don't think we need to worry too much about the defence,'' Cho said. "We have a little more time to work together (than before the Japanese game), and we should be able to replicate the defensive cohesion from earlier.''
The United Arab Emirates and Kuwait complete the group in the third round of qualification from which the top two progress to the final stage.
South Korea squad:
Goalkeepers: Kim Young-kwang (Ulsan Hyundai), Kim Jin-hyun (Cerezo Osaka, Japan), Jung Sung-ryong (Suwon Bluewings)
Defenders: Kim Young-kwon (Omiya Ardija, Japan), Lee Jae-seong (Ulsan Hyundai), Lee Jung-soo (Al Sadd, Qatar), Cho Young-cheol (Albirex Niigata, Japan), Cha Du-ri (Celtic, Scotland), Hong Jeong-ho (Jeju United), Chul Hong (Seongnam Ilhwa)
Midfielders: Ki Sung-yueng (Celtic, Scotland), Kim Bo-kyung (Cerezo Osaka, Japan), Kim Jae-sung (Pohang Steelers), Kim Jung-woo (Sangju Sangmu), Nam Tae-hee (Valenciennes, France), Park Hyun-beom (Suwon Bluewings), Yeom Ki-hun (Suwon Bluewings), Lee Yong-rae (Suwon Bluewings), Yoon Bit-garam (Gyeongnam FC), Lee Keun-ho (Gamba Osaka, Japan)
Forwards: Park Chu-young (AS Monaco, France), Ji Dong-won (Sunderland, England), Son Heung-min (Hamburg, Germany), Jung Jo-gook (Auxerre, France)

Gov. Tom Corbett (R-PA) Calls Pregnant Women and Breast Cancer Patients Healthcare Moochers
5:30 pm, July 10th | by Grace Rasmus
Pennsylvania Republicans have officially decided against expanding Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, arguing that covering more low-income residents would cost the state too much money. Last week, Gov. Tom Corbett (R-PA) took the debate a step further, saying that residents who are already enrolled in the program — including pregnant women and breast cancer patients — are receiving too much free care and should pay into the system.
"What I hear all the time coming out of the administration in Washington is that it's the working poor [who benefit from Medicaid]," Corbett told WTAE, a Pennsylvania local ABC affiliate, on Saturday. "Yes it is working, but you should be investing five, ten dollars in co-pay to understand that you go to to the hospital or the doctors, you just can't keep going and going and going and think everything is going to be covered. You have to know that you have some interest in what's going on."
The state's Department of Public Welfare website addresses copayment information, saying that while children, pregnant women, and breast cancer patients don't pay the fees, many beneficiaries do contribute for the services they receive. Corbett seems to be suggesting that the exempt enrollees are abusing the free services and that everyone should pay more for health care.
While a $5 or $10 copay might not seem like a big deal to a person like Corbett (who probably gets a stellar healthcare plan himself on citizen's tax dollars), to those currently benefiting from Medicaid, a few dollars could be the difference between eating and not eating that day. Just because some may abuse the system — and I agree that there is a tendency to over-medicalize things these days — doesn't mean that everyone does and everyone deserves to be punished.

You can get all kinds of property listings in buy, sell or rent of properties with the Noida property dealers. Along with this they also provide you services as real estate brokers for buying or selling of your property on a nominal fee. we at Noida will help you complete all the legal formalities like house registration or rent agreement for rental property , property taxes , property management etc.
Some property dealers in Noida deal in only the bigger real estate properties like residential plots for housing societies, industrial land, commercial shopping and It parks. This necessitates the existence of such property dealers who deal exclusively in residential houses for sale and also for rent.
Thus, there are smaller property dealers who deal in houses, apartments and flats in Noida and retail shops, offices and warehouses in every sector of Noida. Most of the housing accommodations available in the city command very high capital and rental values, and hence are accessible to only a selected category of home seekers. Nevertheless, the extensive knowledge of Noida real estate agents about each and every sector of the city can help you find an affordable home here.

Hi Mr T, this is the turbo boost presure controller, it regulates boost by varying the vacuum at the wastegate/bypass actuator. I'd check all the vac hoses & the wiring. I've been having the same probs with my 108cdi vito & haven't gotten to the bottom of it yet Myles |

Hello, Had this same problem with turbo not working. Total lack in power but not on limp mode or no EDC light was lit. Just no turbo when accelerating. Took it to HAC Nottingham for code read, and it came up with 3 possible faults. 1) Crank shaft sensor 2) Break pedal switch 3) Boost pressure sensor (as above) This Boost pressure sensor is located under the vehicle between the engine and bulkhead on the driver's side. This was changed and all was OK. Tell me Sarge, where is this fault sheet from? I have Auto data 2005, but that seems to be quite limited to fault code diagnostics. |

Environmental jurisdiction over Fraser Surrey Docks questioned
Delta council questioned guarantees of environmental safety in the transportation of coal through Delta during a Monday (Jan. 28) presentation by Port Metro Vancouver on the proposed Fraser Surrey Docks coal transfer station.
"One of the things that does concern is me is Port Metro Vancouver's assessment process ends at the yard gate," said Coun. Bruce McDonald. "The community has to deal with the overall product, the overall project, the overall system. And there doesn't appear to me to be an integrated, cumulative assessment."
Fraser Surrey Docks is undergoing an Environmental Assessment to act as a transfer station from train to barges for two million tonnes of thermal coal per year to begin with, ramping up to four million tonnes when operating at capacity.
Coal trains already roll along the BNSF Railway to Westshore Terminals in Delta but more trains would go through White Rock and Delta to the proposed new terminal on the Fraser River in Surrey if it's approved.
The coal is then loaded onto barges and shipped to Texada Island before it's loaded onto deep-sea vessels for export to Asia.
"Our role is to facilitate trade and so what we need to ensure is that the trade that would happen and occur at any one of our marine terminals is done in the most sustainable way," said Jim Crandles, PMV's director of planning and development.
But that answer did not satisfy council.
Coun. Jeannie Kanakos said there are many aspects of the project that seem to be outside PMV's jurisdiction.
McDonald said Delta has been impacted by multiple additions of highways and railways and will be impacted again if Terminal Two is built.
"I think that's a valid concern for communities because it goes to the heart of quality of life and the ability for the community to survive as we want it to survive as a pleasant place to live," he said.
Crandles said that although PMV only has control over areas of its jurisdiction, it does have authority over the navigation of coal barges along the Fraser River.
"We are still required under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act to ensure that there are not detrimental effects on the environment in activities in the Port," he said.
The environmental assessment, which was submitted last June and is ongoing, looks at the impact to wildlife habitat and riparian areas, community health impacts, such as dust, noise and air quality, and involves municipal, public and First Nations consultation.
Medical health officers for the Lower Mainland's two health authorities voiced their concerns in a Dec. 17 letter to the port, citing increased air emissions and noise, as well as increased road and rail traffic.
Numerous health professionals and groups including the B.C. Lung Association, have previously called on the port to study possible health impacts from the coal expansion projects before any decision on approving them.
Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said some people are basing their opinions without having all of the facts.
"I heard one comment this morning [on the radio] that the [Massey] Tunnel is going to be replaced so that large ships can come through, and you know some of those things just aren't helpful because that's certainly not the case whatsoever," she said.
Delta's chief administrative officer George Harvie said Fraser Surrey Docks will be making its own presentation to Delta council sometime in mid to late February.

Video report, photo gallery from Thursday game
Our video report and photo gallery from the Rays Thursday win over the Pirates. Video by Will Vragovic.
Full StoryOur video report and photo gallery from the Rays Thursday win over the Pirates. Video by Will Vragovic.
Full StoryUpdate 11:37 a.m. Former Rays CF B.J. Upton got to catch up with some old teammates and hug manager Joe Maddon before today's game, saying it's natural to miss guys you spend 10 years of your life with.
Upton still has a strong attachment to the Rays, and still has a place in Tampa (planning to build a house on Bayshore), saying he watched them in their one-game playoffs last season. Upton hopes to play like he did with the Rays, as opposed to the miserable 2013 season when he hit .187. He said he tried anything and everything, but feels he's in a much better place now.
*RHP Juan Carlos Oviedo is expected to arrive in Florida today and be at Rays camp Saturday. Maddon said Oviedo could pitch in a game as early as Sunday, if not Tuesday, and could make 4-5 appearances. While Oviedo still could be ready for Opening Day, Maddon points out he's right on the line.
*Maddon said the decision should become clearer on the fifth starter spot after Saturday's outing by the final three candidates, though noting that they could each make another appearance before it's official. …
Full StoryUPDATE, 8:49: While some Rays also will go through drills in Port Charlotte today, a small group will work out at the Trop to get a feel for the new batter's eye backdrop.
Also, LHP Jake McGee will throw in a minor-league game in Port Charlotte today.
DEVELOPING: The Rays are on the road today, facing the Braves - and old friend B.J. Upton - at the Disney Complex.
RHP Chris Archer, who has looked very sharp in spring starts vs. the Red Sox and Yankees, will be on the mound for the Rays.
The lineup looks like this:
Jennings cf
Nix 3b
Joyce lf
Myers rf
J. Moore DH
Sands 1b
Molina c
Figueroa 2b
Olmedo ss
Archer p
The Rays further reduced their spring roster on Thursday, sending eight more players to the minors, including RHP Nathan Karns, who had been competing for the No. 5 starter's job.
Also optioned to Triple-A Durham were RHP Kirby Yates, LHPs Jeff Beliveau and C.J. Riefenhauser, INFs Vince Belnome and Hak-Ju Lee, and OF Kevin Kiermaier. OF Mikie Mahtook was reassigned to minor-league camp.
Karns showed well after being acquired from Washington just before the start of camp, and the Rays feel he will be of future help but was not ready yet. His departure leaves LHPs Erik Bedard and Cesar Ramos, and RHP Jake Odorizzi competing for the open spot.
Lee showed he was healthy after missing most of last season following a knee injury.
Full Story
Rays LHP Matt Moore talks about being better Thursday than in his previous outing, but still not as sharp as he hopes to be.
Full Story
RHP Juan Carlos Oviedo is finally set to report to Rays camp.
Agent Andy Mota said Oviedo's waiver was approved on Thursday and he is expected to make it to camp on Friday or Saturday.
Oviedo is expected to play a key role in the Rays bullpen, and manager Joe Maddon said this week he still felt Oviedo had a chance to be on the opening day roster because he had been throwing regularly in the Dominican Republic.
He hasn't pitched in the majors since Sept. 2011, due to identify fraud issues and then Tommy John surgery. He
Full StoryIt was hardly in question as long as he was still with the team, but David Price today was officially named the Rays opening day starter.
Price will be the opening day starter for the third time.
There was considerable speculation throughout the off-season that Price would be traded, but the Rays kept him and manager Joe Maddon said it's obvious how pleaed he is to have him.
"All I know is this,'' Maddon said, "when you see him here now I try to visualize him not being here now and the different feeling that would engender. And it would be an entirely different feeling without him being here. So it's really good to have him back.
"You have to play that mind game with yourself, what would it be like if he wasn't here. Not nearly the vibe that we have going on right now.''
Maddon said RHP Alex Cobb also "definitely is very worthy" of an opening day assignment.
Also, that even though the rest of the rotation seems to be in order - with the No. 5 to be named - Maddon said they are "still looking at a couple little different things that may impact the first month of the season.''
Full Story
The Rays are back in Port Charlotte today to take on the Pirates with LHP Matt Moore on the mound looking to rebound from a rough outing on Saturday.
RHP Jeremy Hellickson said he felt good the day after his first throwing session following Jan. 29 elbow surgery.
Here is the Rays lineup:
Zobrist 2b,
DeJesus cf,
Longoria 3b,
Loney 1b,
Escobar SS,
Betemit DH,
Myers rf,
Hanigan c,
Guyer LF,
Moore p
And the Pirates lineup:
Marte lf
Martin c
McCutchen cf
Sanchez 1b
Walker 2b
Mercer ss
Tabata rf
Harrison 3b
Sanchez dh
Gomes p
The Rays beat the Jays 5-4 Wednesday in front of a sellout crowd at Florida Auto Exchange Park in Dunedin.
OF Jerry Sands hit the go-ahead homer in the top of the ninth, his third of the spring. OF Jeremy Moore also hit his third homer, a mammoth shot in the fourth that cleared the 36-foot batter's eye in center.
Ben Zobrist went 0-for-2 with a walk and strikeout as designated hitter, but more importantly said he felt good in the process, and will play second base Thursday against the Pirates.
RHP Mark Lowe, competing for the final bullpen spot, was impressive in a 1 2/3 inning stint, striking out three, charged with one run. His cutter was a good pitch today, with Maddon saying if he can use that and his slider, he can be really effective.
RHP Josh Lueke, however, struggled, allowing three runs in two innings, including a two-run homer by Edwin Encarnacion.
CF Desmond Jennings had two hits and a stolen base.
The Rays return home Thursday to face the Pirates.
Full StoryAfter feeling flat and a bit of "dead arm" in his last outing Saturday, Rays RHP Grant Balfour felt markedly better after throwing 15 pitches in a minor-league game against the Orioles on Wednesday in Port Charlotte.
"I felt really good, felt strong,'' Balfour said. "I'm really, really happy with how it went."
Balfour received some treatment on his arm and got an extra day's rest, and said the results were significant. He also made a decision to ramp up his focus and intensity a bit and said that also helped as well.
Rays RHP Joel Peralta followed Balfour with a solid 13-pitching inning, his first time back on the mound after leaving Saturday's game with a stiff neck. And No. 2 starter RHP Alex Cobb threw 68 pitches (46 strikes) over four-plus innings in another minor-league game.
Balfour said he was pleased with his velocity - consitently in the low 90s while "throwing into a headwind" - and that his fastball had "good late life, which is a really good sign" and that his breaking ball had tight break.
Balfour faced three batters, allowing one hit, striking out one, with nine strikes among his 15 pitches. …
Full StoryThe Rays will be facing the Jays today in Dunedin, as long as the rain holds off on this cloudy day.
For updates throughout the game, follow @TBTimes_JSmith on Twitter.
RHP Nathan Karns, a long-shot candidate for the fifth starter spot, will be making the start against a formidable Jays lineup that includes Jose Reyes, Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion.
Ben Zobrist, having been sidelined with a stiff neck, is expected to start as DH. Desmond Jennings and Matt Joyce will also be here.
There's a busy morning at Port Charlotte, with RHP Alex Cobb and RHP Grant Balfour scheduled to throw in a minor league game. RHP Jeremy Hellickson played catch for the first time since elbow surgery and was encouraged with how good it felt.

"Very encouraging,'' Hellickson said. "It felt really good.''
Hellickson made 25 throws at distances of 45-to-60 feet Wednesday, six weeks to the day after Dr, Koco Eaton removed "loose bodies" from his elbow in an arthroscopic procedure.
"It went really well,'' he said. "It felt like I thought. It's been feeling really good, but you never know until you actually get out there and start throwing. So it's very encouraging that it's felt as good as it has.''
Hellickson will continue throwing on an every other day basis and said in a "best-case scenario" he will return to the rotation in late May with a target of being back by June 1.
"This is a big step in the process, getting out there to throw after six weeks off,'' he said. "This and the day I come back (to pitch in a game) are probably the two biggest things.''
