I have been doing some research on the reliability of various makes of sump pumps and it appear Zoeller and Hydromatic are the most reliable with the exception of switch issues for the Zoeller.
Actually, I have a Zoeller M57 installed (does not have the variable level float) but due to the high water table this season the sump in the basement is now running approximately every 5 minutes. This is due to the float switch with a small on and off distance of only 4.5 inches. Actually what I need now is about 12 inches of water between cycles to increase the cycle to every 15 minutes to increase the switch life. The M57 is rated for 100,000 cycles and by the rate of the cycling on and off I suspect I'm due for a pump within the next while.
I'm looking at the smaller M49 Water Ridd'r III which is 1/4 hp from the current 1/3 hp which has the tethered float switch but this only provides 7 inches between cycles or the BN53 with the piggyback variable float switch.
The other sump pump I'm considering is the Hydromatic W-A1 with the Wide angle float switch.
So I guess I have three questions. Can I modify the M57 I have currently installed with a piggyback variable float switch? And the second question is should I stay with Zoeller or go with the Hydromatic for the replacement if I can't modify the Zoeller M57 I'm currently using? Where can I purchase these products in Canada?
Thanks a bunch for any and all information.
Well after about 4 hours of going back through older posts under the search term "sump pump" I have answered my own questions. Great information here and thanks to all those folks with the answers. I should have checked the posts first before asking for help. My apologies.
To increase the pump cycle time you can purchase a SJE Rhombus vertical master switch and ensure the float switch on the Zoeller M57 pump is tethered in the "on" position. This basically creates a back up switch should the SJE Rhombus fail just by cutting the plastic ties.
So no need to purchase another pump just add the the new piggyback vertical master switch purchased directly from SJE Rhombus for $68 that includes postage to Canada. They ship to Canada!! Now if you need more recycle time the SJE PumpMaster pump switch has pumping range: 7" to 36". But this is the free floating switch that can become snagged on the side of the plastic sump container. If you have lots of room in the sump pit this might be the answer.
Zoeller provided a contact in Calgary Alberta for pumps just in case I needed to purchase another pump. So for those of you in Canada looking for Zoeller pumps in Canada go to the Zoeller web site or drop them an e-mail as they are very quick to respond.

While the world keeps heading in the direction of digital, German manufacturer Balanced Music Concept (B.M.C.) Audio is perfecting the CD player. Supplier Aaudio Imports just announced plans to bring that product, the BDCD1 CD Belt Drive Player/Transport, to the U.S.
There are two very unique perks on this top-loading player. First of all, it promises a very smooth operation. That's because it uses a belt drive instead of a common direct drive. That boasts a constant data stream as the disc rotates. It also decouples motor vibration from the CD, and helps the disc rotate silently on a special precision bearing with a 50-micron tolerance. It also uses a flywheel-like CD stabilizer to keep that rotation smooth and quiet.
Believe it or not, that's just one of the perks. The BDCD1 also has B.M.C.'s own Superlink connection, which promises better details and a more realistic sound stage. Part of that process uses four impedance-matched 75-Ohm BNC cables to transmit digital audio signals as four separate streams of information. This is a departure from the usual SPDIF interface, which merges the streams before separating them again.
The BDCD1 is available both as a transport and with an optional DAC module that turns the unit into a complete CD player with analog output. A clock synchronization circuit optimizes the digital signal performance in front of the DAC, and two 24-Bit/192kHz PCM1792 chips with current output by Texas Instruments and Burr-Brown retime the digital signals to the local master clock.
Other BDCD1 features include a modular design, B.M.C.'s own Current Injection (CI), and a LEF driver circuit.
The BDCD1 has front-panel controls and rear-panel connections that include the digital Superlink with four 75-Ohm BNC cable outputs, a balanced XLR terminal, RCA and BNC terminals for coaxial cable connections, AES/EBU and Toslink outputs, and an AC power connection. A set of analog outputs can be added optionally for connection to a DAC.
Speaking of options: A remote for the BDCD1 is available separately for $270. Aaudio Imports is now selling the BDCD1 CD Belt Drive Player/Transport for $5,790 (MSRP). The Transport, minus the DAC and CD upgrade, is also available for $4,790.

[For full blog reading experience, please put on a pair of sunglasses and smell the flowers blooming all around because it's SPRING Y'ALL]
Helloooooo. The high today is supposed to be 72 degrees. My family in Beaverton says it is supposed to be even warmer there! I'm lovin' it. My apartment is on the third/ top floor of our building and when it is warm outside, our apartment heats up like an oven. So even in the high sixties after I walk up the hills to get home and enter the room, its super warm. That also means I get to open all the windows and get a nice breeze. I sat on our deck and played guitar for a while yesterday which was super nice. When it gets nice here in the PNW, it is BEAUTIFUL.
Here is a picture from my window of the sun shining and if you look between the buildings, you can see the space needle (which was recently painted "Galaxy Gold" for its 50th anniversary but it really just looks orange).
I also went to Seward Park last week which is a beautiful park with Old Growth Forest. This is Signe being weird in the forest.
Even though rain is supposed to return soon (SURPRISING), this glimpse of what is to come is so encouraging. Things coming up: Senior Toast, Senior Soiree, QUADSTOCK and more. So excited.
Yours truly,
Ben Neal

Intense, pure, full colors and young aromas. This wine completes our vision of Malbec. We wish to honour the insignia variety of Mendoza. We want to emphasize all the characteristics of this unique cepage. Our work in the vineyards reinforces leaf system over root system, and emphasizes the soul of the fruit.
Our objective is to preserve the vertebral column of variety as the first step of a trilogy that continues in ascending stairs with Quimera – a design wine - and Finca Altamira, Finca Bella Vista and Finca Mirador, through which we showcase the expression of terroir.
The wine was aged during 9 months in French Oak barrels. We took special care to preserve the necessary balance between wood and fruit without losing its spontaneity.
"The purple-colored 2009 Malbec is sensational for an entry-level wine. It gives up an alluring nose of wood smoke, Asian spices, floral notes, black cherry, and black raspberry. Layered, smooth-textured, and plush, this is a mouth-coating effort that is ready to drink but that will continue to deliver satisfaction for another 6-8 years. " 92 Points The Wine Advocate
"A nice minerally spine drives this, with the core of damson plum, raspberry ganache and blackberry fruit staying sweet but racy and defined. Violet and graphite hints add length on the mouthwatering finish. Drink now. 12,000 cases made. " 91 Points Wine Spectator

WASHINGTON — It survived a historic Supreme Court fight and a bruising presidential election. Next up for President Obama's groundbreaking law to expand health insurance coverage: winning over a skeptical and, in much of the country, downright hostile public.
Health care advocates say lessons — and inspiration — can be drawn from the Massachusetts experience, where a multipronged publicity blitz helped the state achieve near-universal coverage more quickly than lawmakers anticipated when they passed the 2006 law.
But much work remains to get Americans to buy into the controversial federal law and educate them on its basic provisions, according to a new poll to be released this month by Enroll America. The forthcoming survey found that 78 percent of people without insurance do not know they could be eligible for subsidized coverage; 83 percent of those likely to be eligible for Medicaid also have not heard about the coming changes.
"It really shows that despite all the energy that has gone into the continuing debate about the Affordable Care Act, the people who would most benefit still don't know that help is on its way," said Rachel Klein, executive director of Enroll America, a national coalition of insurers, doctors, hospitals, and others trying to expand public awareness by the time enrollment is scheduled to begin next fall.
While Massachusetts had a mere six months to publicize the law, the Obama administration has until October 2013. But the clock is ticking.
"There's been a lot of time that has been lost, 2½ years wasted when people were sitting on their hands because of the Supreme Court case, the election, and the fear that Congress would repeal the law," said John McDonough, director of Harvard University's Center for Public Health Leadership, who helped craft the Massachusetts and federal laws.
In Massachusetts, several major efforts were key to the state's success in dramatically boosting enrollment. The state was able to use food stamps and welfare records to identify and reach out to low-income uninsured people and automatically enroll them for subsidized insurance without the hassle of new paperwork.
A massive publicity campaign included everything from knocking on doors to reach low-income families in New Bedford to advertising at Fenway Park to reach the so-called "young invincibles," men in their 20s and 30s who did not see the need for health insurance.
Starting the day after Governor Mitt Romney signed the law, hospitals, physicians, business groups, and insurers gathered in the offices of Partners HealthCare on the 11th floor of the Prudential tower to chart their course. The mission was not only to figure out how best to publicize the law, but also to respond to the torrent of national criticism.
Whenever newspaper op-ed pages ran a column attacking the law, deeming it a disaster and outlining why it would fail, a rapid response team would fire off a letter to the editor or write a competing op-ed defending the law, McDonough said.
"It was in your face. It was aggressive. We left no stone unturned," he said.
The Obama administration has already tapped the public relations firm Weber Shandwick to assist with marketing and outreach. The same firm designed Massachusetts' public education campaign, in which the Boston Red Sox played a central role.
The firm launched several public service announcements using players including Tim Wakefield to help convince young, healthy people, especially men, to sign up for insurance. Without a significant enrollment of healthy people in the program, premiums would skyrocket because the law, like the federal version, prohibits discriminating against those with preexisting medical conditions.
But it turned out that millionaire ballplayers were not the most effective people for reaching out to those without insurance, said Tara Murphy, senior vice president at Weber Shandwick.
A new ad focusing on peer testimonials showed the baseball field at Fenway Park to promote the notion of "covering your bases." Another featured a young actor with a fake broken arm. It turned out he did not have health insurance and decided to sign up during the ad shoot.
Both ads played on the Fenway jumbotron during every home game before sell-out crowds in the team's championship year in 2007. Announcers broadcast interviews with Senator Edward M.Kennedy and Governor Deval Patrick about the law. State employees manned an information booth at the ballpark and stuffed fliers about the state's new health insurance exchange — an online marketplace where consumers can more easily choose among competing plans — into the arms of fans.

951 Pine ST Pelion Community Club Pelion, SC 29123
Farmers in Pelion, a mere 20 miles or so from Columbia, have been producing and harvesting peanuts for years. It has long been an autumn tradition for the townspeople to gather for the annual boiling of the peanuts. Today, members of the Pelion Ruritan Club continue the tradition at the annual Pelion Peanut Party. The Ruritans use a secret recipe for boiling the peanuts; however, they are more than happy to share the final product with festival-goers. This year's festival features the Princess Pageant, craft show, parade, exhibits, peanut butter & jelly sandwich eating contest, frozen T-shirt contest, fabulous festival food, and amusement rides for all.

"I dabble in modernity," says legendary author Margaret Atwood on CBC's George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight. Judging by her twitter following and her active participation in the development of new digital technologies, we think Atwood is being more than a little modest.
Lavin speaker Margaret Atwood, talking about the new documentary based on her book Payback. Via Salon.
Not only is Margaret Atwood an innovative author, she's also innovative in the way she offers her works. In the case of the newly release science fiction book, In Other Worlds, a "revolutionary" new printing tech using hay is being employed to produce a limited run of 500 copies. In a sign of possible futures, the method utilizing wheat waste has the potential to leave 800 million trees standing annually.
Margaret Atwood: How a love of comics started a love of reading I learned to read early so I could read the comic strips because nobody else would take the time to read them out loud to me. The newspaper comics pages were called, then, the funny papers, although a lot of the strips were not funny but highly dramatic, like Terry and the Pirates, which featured a femme fatale called "The Dragon Lady" who used an amazingly long cigarette holder, or oddly surreal, like Little Orphan Annie — where were her eyes? The funny papers raised many questions in my young mind, some of which remain unanswered to this day. What exactly happened when Mandrake the Magician "gestured hypnotically"? Why did the Princess Snowflower character go around with a cauliflower on either ear?Where did we kids discover the knowledge of flying capes, superpowers, other planets, and the like? In part, through the primitive comic-strip superheroes of the times, the most popular of which were Flash Gordon, for space travel and robots; Superman and Captain Marvel, for extra strength, superpowers, and cape-based flying; and Batman, who was a mortal, with a non-functional cape — one that must have encumbered him somewhat as he clawed his way up the sides of buildings — but who nonetheless shared with Captain Marvel and Superman a weak or fatuous second identity that acted as a disguise. (Captain Marvel was Billy Batson, the crippled newsboy; Superman was Clark Kent, the bespectacled reporter; Batman was Bruce Wayne, the very rich playboy who lounged around in a smoking jacket.)Excerpt from In Other Worlds: SF and the Human Imagination Copyright © 2011 by O.W. Toad Ltd. Published by Signal, imprint of McClelland & Stewart Ltd. (Photo: (Tyler Anderson/National Post)
Text from occupywriters.com. Margaret Atwood, Salman Rushdie, and Rachel Rosenfelt (editor of The New Inquiry and one of Lavin's college speaking agents) are among the literary figures who have signed.
Margaret Atwood's latest, In Other Worlds: SF And The Human Imagination made The Atlantic's list of 24 books to look forward to this fall.
From The Atlantic:
The Booker Prize-winning novelist latest book focuses on her relationship with science fiction. Based on a set of lectures Atwood gave at Emory University, In Other Worlds traces her engagement with the genre, beginning in childhood, through her time in graduate school, and continuing with her work as a writer of fiction, which includes elements of science fiction.Release date: October 11
Booker Prize-winning author Margaret Atwood's The Blind Assassin has been chosen as the inaugural selection for the Twitter-based 1book140 book club, hosted by The Atlantic. The organizers hope to spark global discussion on the book, 140 characters at a time. The choice is fitting, as few other established authors have taken to Twitter with the same zeal with which Atwood, a prolific tweeter, has.
Flavorpill recently compiled a list of ten books that "expose the darker side of humanity." Second on the list is Margaret Atwood's cautionary masterwork The Handmaid's Tale.
If you take away the epilogue, this novel tells an unbelievably miserable story of confinement and misogynistic rule. In the near future, the United States is overthrown by the pernicious Sons of Jacob, who then establish the Republic of Gilead. The bank accounts of women and other undesirables are frozen, and a group known as Handmaids become the hosts for the future children of the ruling class. Atwood's prose is beautiful and chilling, as always.

GUILD MEMBERS: A Letter from WGA West President Patric Verrone
GUILD MEMBERS: A Letter from WGA West President Patric Verrone
Dear Screen Actors Guild members, Writers Guild of America, West President Patric Verrone asked that I forward you the following letter. In solidarity, Alan Rosenberg To the Members of the Screen Actors Guild, As you undoubtedly know, our 100 day strike is over and the WGA has a contract that covers new media. On behalf of the 12,000 members of the WGA West and East, I want to thank the Screen Actors Guild leadership, membership, and staff for your tremendous involvement and support. Throughout the run-up to the strike SAG and WGA members and staffers spent countless hours preparing and briefing one another on the new media issues that we believe will affect us all in the years to come. We shared our proposals and held numerous strategy sessions among our leadership as well as making dozens of joint show visits to network and cable programs to prepare and engage our staffs and casts. During the strike SAG members showed their solidarity by joining our picket lines throughout LA and New York, featuring both rank and file members and entire show casts. Your support was especially visible when SAG members made positive (and sometimes provocative) statements at our rallies and in the press. But it was never more vital to our cause than when SAG members chose to honor our picket lines on talk shows and, most especially, at the Golden Globes. The pressure that generated on the Oscars was undoubtedly a turning point in the strike. For all of these reasons, I offer my personal, heartfelt, and sincere thanks. My gratitude extends to not only the hundreds of SAG members who walked and honored our picket lines but the 80 SAG staffers in LA and NY who worked those lines on every one of the 100 days of the strike. I especially want to single out your Organizing Director, Todd Amorde, your Deputy National Executive Director, Pamm Fair, board members Anne-Marie Johnson, Valerie Harper, Frances Fisher and Justine Bateman, your National Executive Director, Doug Allen, and most of all, your president, Alan Rosenberg. Alan's personal involvement in our struggle on an almost daily basis gave our unions welcome encouragement and me tremendous personal peace of mind. Now, as your union heads down the path that we blazed with your support so too must we return that support. We have learned a great deal from our struggle.and we are offering everything we have learned to help you face the challenge ahead. As you well know, our employers are diversified, multinational conglomerates. They drive a hard bargain and fight like hell. Among their favorite weapons is their ability to divide membership from leadership and from one another. They control mass media and have sympathetic correspondents who spread rumors and innuendo designed to make members think their leaders are inept, inexperienced, and even insane and to make leadership think their members are disaffected, dissatisfied, and disloyal. Any union's bargaining strength is a function of what management thinks of its members' determination and its leadership's approval. Alan and Doug have been thoughtful and tenacious leaders throughout their tenures and I implore you to give them your faith, your resolve, and your patience in the months ahead. The more you trust them to do their job, the better they can do it. What the Writers Guilds accomplished this year was the result of our internal solidarity, as well as support from sister Guilds and unions nationwide, led by yours. I wish you every success in matching our solidarity and in building that support and we will do everything in our power to help. Our slogan throughout this campaign has been, "We are all in this together." Moving ahead, I hope that "we" will continue to include you. Thank you again and good luck in your upcoming talks. Best, Patric M. Verrone President, Writers Guild of America, West

Hi Everyone I am Balpreet Singh from Kreative Chocolates, Chandigarh, India . We are a professional chocolatier and working since 2009.
This discussion is for all those home chocolate makers as now food licensing department will be penalizing all those who are working from home and don't have food license from Feburary 2014.
So beware before selling your product to retailers without having food license. For any queries you can post here and i will be helping you with your questions.
Tags: chocolate, food, india, license
I read about this Balpreet but I think that's not for Chocolatiers.
Can you guide us a lil bit more.
How do we get the license?
Thanks Balpreet for bringing this up, infact i was going to make a post here.
I am glad that you did.
The last date mentioned by FSSAI for acquiring the license is 4th February 2014.
Every food manufacturer and service provider has been asked to get it compulsorily.
For getting a food license you need to go to http://foodlicensing.fssai.gov.in/ and sign up and then apply for the license and there is a fee for that that need to be deposited either by treasury challan or D.D. You can choose for how long you want the license i.e 1year to 5 years fees increases as years accordingly and you need to submit all the documents to your nearest food licensing branch located in your city.

Steampunk Guitar Looks Good, Pointy
This is a steampunk guitar. It's functional. You may love it. Or you may hate it because you hate everything steampunk. Or you may hate it because your girlfriend cheated on you with a musician. Whatever the case, you either love it or hate it. Or just think it's okay. One of those three. Or, okay, maybe you're indifferent. But definitely one of four. Unless you love it sometimes, hate it others, and don't care the rest. Or if you, I dunno, wow I'm high. Cookie Crisp in chocolate milk for the win.
Hit the jump for another steampunkish guitar. And by "steampunkish" I mean it has a custom pick guard that looks like gears.

"Shutting down" racist music did not get rid of racism. Racism is still alive and well in our society, although maybe not as openly expressed. I'm sure artists are still making racist music. It's just a matter of finding it. I don't really listen to music very much so I can't name names. Society shifted away from being openly and blatantly racist and so the popular music shifted with it, not the other way around. It's the same with misogyny. As our society moves further and further away from the idea that that kind of attitude toward or treatment of women is ok, the popular music will shift away from it.
Tastes in the levels of necessary snark vary widely, UnschoolnMa. (where's the "throws her head back and laughs" smiley?)
Misogyny is a huge, huge problem in society. I wish there was a mechanism with which I could silence musical artists whose lyrics degrade women, objectify women, trivialize women. |
I believe it is damaging to be disseminated... because it goes into children's ears, children's hearts, children's maps of the world. And I believe it is delusional to think that children have the capability to deal with this stuff. If children and teenagers are so sophisticated, so discerning, why don't they just go out on their own? What do they need parents for? |
They're NOT so sophisticated, they're NOT so rock solid sure of themselves as you think, they're NOT so imbued with your good values that they virtually ARE you. |
Can you remember the FIRST time your little daughter actually heard the real words of some great fun, misogynistic rap song, and how she reacted to it? I can. It HURT her. Her face fell, like it was PERSONAL. She looked up at me, her eyes searching for some explanation. "Why is he saying that about her?" (eminem's ode to wife Kim). |
And you can talk all you want to her about why, and educate her for the rest of her life that "it's those other people over there...," and it's not going to explain away that personal hurt. It HURTS to be debased because of the color of your skin; it HURTS to be debased because of your gender. |
Sitting here typing this and thinking about it something occured to me. I would have never had any idea what "supermanning" is or that people even did that to other people if I hadn't heard the song. However, it's very likely that my son was exposed to this. Listening to the song together and knowing what the lyrics mean allows me to talk to my ds about how I feel about the act, which maybe gives him a different perspective on supermanning and how to treat women in general. |
It seems standards in popular music keep falling to new lows as the years pass! Idiotic, inane and devoid of creativity. I can't imagine what sort of music these kids are going to remember with some nostalgia when they grow up.
Just to be clear on that. My opinions on this matter are long-held, I've written a lot about it. The name, handmaiden of misogyny is not calling someone a name, but illustrating what I see as the description of the member of a social system who defends the rights of misogynists who strike out at members of her own sex, including her daughters. I hope you will think about it alot. I truly do. If you don't want to, fine. Hey, I was in Charleston, South Carolina when a woman's group in the city picketed at the Citadel Military Academy against the women who were already admitted. Same thing, in my opinion. Handmaidens of Patriarchy.
Censorship is unrealistic. I don't advocate censorship of artists. But I advocate for individual courage to make bold, new decisions in this area. I do believe that all the enlightened parenting that you and I do is Number One on the list to do. Number Two is closely followed by me doing what I can to eliminate pain coming at my child. I've had a lot of exposure to a lot of different kids and teens, from insulated rich kids to teens in detention centers... I think of these kids, too, who may or may not--most of them not, have parents with the ability to parent that we would like them to have, and it's up to the rest of us in society to help THOSE families, too. It's not enough to figure, well, we can help our child to deal with this... it's all good. Because most children and teens don't actually have that kind of wonderful bond with their parents. I have a wealth of experience working with the power of suggestion on many levels, with many different types of and groups of people. These experiences inform my beliefs on this subject. Please look a little deeper at it, consider the future ramifications of being okay with it, ignoring the message in the song, allowing yourself to be another ring of the cash register that puts money in that guy's pocket, and thereby propogate MORE OF THE SAME for years to come. VF |

Labeling of any kind is the same as name-calling to me. I defend the Constitution of the United States. I defend the right of any individual to think anything s/he wants. I am not threatened by the lyrics of a song because I don't allow people to treat me that way. I think that's the best lesson I can teach my children. I am not a victim of any person or group who hates me for whatever reason. It is insulting to me to assume that I don't think about these things because I don't agree with your approach.
Here's one place where you at least seem to advocate censorship for the entire population. Even if that's not what you meant, you still have advocated us censoring what our own children listen to. I don't think it's my position to control my children in the same way that it's not my position to control my dp. Trying to force people to do what you do or think the way you think by preaching and moralizing and controlling doesn't work. Again, open, honest and respectful communication is what works. I do my part to try to influence society by not spending my money at certain stores or on certain things. When a subject comes up, I will share my opinion. I don't allow people to treat me in a disrespectful manner. I try to treat all people with respect regardless of whether or not I agree with them. I do not think I have the right to tell another person what s/he should listen to or read or look at or think. |

Please don't suggest that anything that might possibly in some way be offensive to someone somewhere be taken off the radio and off the shelves. If the happy fluffy bunnies take over, I am so out of here. People need to learn to deal with different attitudes and behavior. I know the ways in which I'll be discriminated against; the things that have nothing to do with my personality or behavior that people we dislike me for. It is my reality and I have to find ways to cope with it. Please don't try to do that for me. We can't make the world one big padded room. Even if we could, I'd vote against it. I like my oranges sweet and juicy and getting a bad one in the bunch makes the good ones that much better.
I think we all want what is good for our dc, there is no point in just making a point for the sake of it, it has to mean something I guess. Now, I wouldn't stop my dc from listening to any song but if it was full of noticeable offensive stuff, like continual swearing( something like Tenacious D for ex) or some sexist rap stuff( cos there is good rap music imo) we wouldn't want to listen to it anyway. I wouldn't be able to 'stop' my dc from listening to what they want anyway unless I took away their 'free' choice and music in it's essence is about choice and life experience. For me and millions of others being listeners not players of sounds it's a great place to escape to, learn from, enjoy etc. There is also quite a lot of anti-woman music on certain video games, mostly played by boys. As like most of the families here we are open to communication. Soulja boy is just another song, it's not to my taste and I wouldn't have a copy of it. I wouldn't have had a clue what the lyrics are all about but knowing now doesn't enlighten me to this measly effort of a commercial interest song, the dance and all obviously catering to the market they are going for, young kids.
I for one think music or any other form that 'chooses' to degrade women sucks. It's a neverending cycle of mean crap towards my sex. I don't like women-hating music, how 'dirty' do they want us to feel as women, or non-beings which IS the message being pushed, visual porn, auditory porn, it's all the same ? I wonder do the guys that date women that sing some of that stuff really want to treat women like dirt or do they see it as 'sexy' or summit. Or do they have gf's, wives who they treat ok? It's a marketing tool as well, very trendy to supersoak, ich.Whatever, I'll stick with Grace Jones. I do think we are all becoming desensitized about things we really shouldn't be, there is so much propaganda being shoved at us and we know it's very bad for us as a family and the greater human family which is in sorry repair imo), I feel the anti-woman message is being forced on us with ever increasing intensity fro so many angles, which is bad for all woman but also means they're running scared. |

< Return To Hearing
The Honorable Patrick LeahyDecember 11, 2001 I commend Senator Schumer for holding this hearing on the need for and benefits of sharing information with local law enforcement. Local law enforcement are the first responders at the scene of crises and have to determine almost instantaneously whether the cause was an accident, a crime or, worse, an organized terrorist attack. To make these determinations and to know how best to respond, they should and must have access to the information necessary to evaluate these situations accurately and expeditiously.
S. 1615 authorizes the sharing of certain foreign intelligence information with local law enforcement personnel. The bill resolves the question of whether legal barriers prevent the FBI and other federal law enforcement authorities from disclosing information to state and local law enforcement agencies when necessary and appropriate to ensure an effective response to terrorist threats. The Committee will review the details of the bill carefully so that it achieves this goal without risking unintended consequences. On the larger issues of cooperation I am pleased that FBI Director Robert Mueller announced last week the creation of a new position of Assistant Director for Law Enforcement Coordination to be filled by an experienced representative of local law enforcement. This new position will report directly to Director Mueller. To his credit, the Director Mueller is aware of the problem of the FBI not effectively working with other law enforcement officers. He told one law enforcement group in late October that offers of help from police have in some cases been wrongly turned down, and called that "unacceptable." He has promised that the FBI will change the way it works with local police. I have spoken to Mayor O'Malley about this issue and thank him for the personal attention and commitment he has given to ensuring that local law enforcement has the information and tools needed to perform effectively in protecting our public safety. For example, former FBI Associate Deputy Director Oliver B. (Buck) Revell has raised important questions in a letter, dated December 5, 2001, to the Washington Post that Senator Hatch quoted in part at this Committee's December 7th hearing with the Attorney General. Mr. Revell expresses concern about the Attorney General's action of placing the U.S. Attorneys in charge of the joint terrorism task forces as "both unproductive and undermines the effectiveness of the FBI's relationship with state and local authorities." Mr. Revell states that several police chiefs have advised him "that they are not comfortable in such a relationship led by U.S. Attorneys." He is concerned that the U.S. Attorneys will not "have the investigative resources and analytical capabilities to execute this program." Mr. Revell concludes, "Now is not the time to undermine the capabilities of the nation's primary agency responsible for the prevention and investigation of terrorist activity." The Committee will look into these and other issues raised by the new joint terrorism task force structure. Today marks three months after the terrible terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and our airlines. I know I share the gratitude of the Nation for the valiant work of Commissioner Kerik and the New York City Police and the other police officers around the country, including the Capitol Police, who have been working longer hours under enormously stressful conditions to keep us safe. I welcome all the witnesses here today. Senator Schumer and Senator Clinton worked tirelessly during consideration of the USA PATRIOT Act to back up the FBI Director's words and good intentions with legislation, and expressly authorize information sharing by the FBI with State and local law enforcement officers, when they have a need to know the information to perform their public safety mission in response to terrorist threats. I support this goal. |

MINNEAPOLIS NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell attended the Vikings-Titans game, but did not meet with Titans defensive coordinator Jerry Gray, according to an NFL spokesman. On Friday the league said it planned to investigate Gray's controversial comments about wanting his players to be more physical without regard for potential fines. Source: Titans Insider
Why would he? He watched our defense for 5 minutes and realized they can't tackle let alone lay someone out.
'la Vagician' will probably be fined for his personal foul I mean the one time he tries too lay a hit he absoutly blows it going helmet too helmet on an incompletion. lol just pathetic
I think they should admit to having a bounty system and Goodell can suspend the coaching staff for the rest of the year. Problem solved.

Y'all Play Nice. SEC Week Thirteen
This story originally published on
Whoops there goes another Bama LB
B Harbach and R Mitchell
Posted Nov 25, 2010
Every Thursday, CFN's Brian Harbach and Russ Mitchell break down the SEC games you need to watch, the SEC questions you want answered, and of course, the SEC Power Rankings. All things SEC from two different SEC writers, with two different SEC points of view. One of 'em always right. Now y'all play nice.

Brian and I want to take a moment to wish all of you and your families a very Happy Thanksgiving. We both have much to be thankful for this year.
(i) Who had the best SEC performance this past weekend (Team or Player)?
Russ Mitchell:
We could go with Carolina's Marcus Lattimore and his 102 yards on seven carries with three TDs… 'cept it was against Troy. Or we could go with Florida's Chris "Time to Die Bitch" Rainey and his 87 yards on six carries with one TD… 'cept is was against Appalachian State. Or we could go with LSU's Jordan Jefferson and his very crisp outing – 13/17 for 254 yards and one TD (plus two receptions tackled at the one yard line)… 'cept it was against ole miss. Or MSU's Vic Ballardand his 150 yards on a hefty 30 carries with three TDs… 'cept for the two fumbles. But is there really any doubt – Arkansas's
Knile Davis
is turning heads in the SEC West. 187 yards on 30 carries and two TDs, in helping his Razorbacks stay in the hunt for a possible BCS bowl. Yes, he had a couple fumbles of his own, but since turning it on at the halfway point, Davis has been the difference in making this team a championship contender.
Had the sophomore been playing at this caliber vs. Alabama and Auburn, the Hogs are likely undefeated and in the hunt for a national championship
Brian Harbach:
Arkansas has always had great running backs. Houston Nutt ran the ball extremely well with a big, physical offensive line, and when Bobby Petrino came in everyone thought he only knew how to throw the ball. People forgot that at Auburn in 2002, Bobby had Ronnie Brown run for 1,000 yards after sitting behind Cadillac Williams for the first six games. They forget how Michael Bush was a lock for a top ten pick at Louisville, and how dominant he was indeed before breaking his leg early in the 2006 season. Petrino hasn't had that physical back at Arkansas the last two years, with scat back Michael Smith the primary runner for the Razorbacks. But after witnessing
Knile Davis
run all over MSU this weekend, Petrino finally has his favorite type of running back in Fayetteville.
Davis ran for 187 yards on 30 carries against the Bulldogs, and found the end-zone three times, two rushing and one receiving. He was fast and physical behind an underrated Arkansas offensive line, and he adds another dimension to an offense that everyone sees as "Ryan Mallett and the Receivers". Davis has rushed for more than 1,000 yards this season, and is averaging 7.0 yards a carry. Earlier this year, Petrino stated that he wanted to be able to run the ball in the fourth quarter but was not able to do it. That's no longer the case with Davis' development. Arkansas has taken a good step forward this season, and a win over LSU will make it a great leap forward. Though just as importantly, with (i) the emergence of Davis, (ii) Tyler Wilson looking more than capable throwing the ball, and (iii) a couple good recruiting classes under the belt, and Arkansas can reasonably expect even bigger things in 2011.
(ii) Who is the second best team in the SEC?
Great question. Second best team on record is easy – that's LSU. But I don't think that's the point of the question. We still go by the axiom that defense wins championships (even if Auburn's trying to break that truism this year), and in that regard you'd have to go with the Bayou Bengals. As we've written previously, these Tigers have difficulty stopping a good spread quarterback, which was plainly evident last Saturday against a sub-par ole miss team. But overall, it's one of the better defenses we've seen in years – certainly the best in the conference this season. But LSU is simply too inconsistent on offense to be considered the
best team in the conference.
At this point in the season,
is playing the best football in the conference outside of Auburn. It's partly due to the improvement of an aggressive defense that has been consistent for the most part. Ok, consistently B- maybe, but there's a lot to be said for consistency. However, the catalyst in the Razorbacks' second half ascension has been the emergence of sophomore tailback Knile Davis. With Davis now putting up 100 yards
every Saturday (except Vandy), Arkansas' offense becomes exponentially more dangerous. Already ranked high passing (3rd nationally in Passing Offense and 4th in Passing Efficiency), the Hogs rushing has improved from 96th in the nation following the Auburn game, to 66th – a significant improvement given the weight of those first six games. We mentioned it above, but had Davis been playing at this level since Tennessee Tech, the folks in Fayetteville would be making reservations for Glendale right now.
Color me old fashioned, but the second highest ranked team going into the last week of the season in the conference is usually the second best team in the league.
Today, LSU is that team, and while you can argue it, you would be wrong
. First, knock off the "close win" BS and look at the actual wins and losses. It doesn't matter how LSU beat Tennessee, it doesn't matter how they lost to Auburn… What matters is the record against a very good schedule. LSU has wins over Alabama, Florida, MSU, North Carolina and West Virginia. If they beat Arkansas this weekend, that would be wins over at least seven bowl teams, and all anyone want to focus on is the end of the Tennessee game. Les Miles has two phases of the game that are arguably the best in the country. LSU's Defense and Special teams are better than 119 other teams. John Chavis has done a masterful job replacing some great talent, and has a very well coached crew.
Meanwhile, the Special Teams have the best kicker, punter and return man combo in college football
And their success in those two phases is happening despite one of the worst offenses in the SEC. If LSU had anyone threatening to be a SEC quarterback, we would probably be arguing who is the second best team behind the Fighting Tigers. But the offense has killed them this year, and that is the reason for all the close games. So how does LSU win games? Defense and Special teams… When your offense plays the way Miles' group does, there is no other option. But why should we penalize a team for playing to their strengths,
and winning
? Until someone other than the best team in the SEC (nation?) beats LSU, they will continue to be second in our ranking. Don't let your personal feelings towards Miles cloud your judgment of the team… LSU is darn good this year.
(iii) What every SEC fan should be talking about after Week Twelve, but isn't?
Well that leaves out anything to do with the Iron Bowl, how close the last five games have been between Arkansas and LSU (13 points), and anything on Cam Newton's father… (i) Les Miles is the only coach in LSU history to beat ole miss, Alabama, and Florida in the same season… and he's done it
. He's also the only coach in LSU history to beat Alabama, Florida and
in the same season… and yes, he's done that twice too, (ii) While we're on the Mad Hatter, to the folks at the Denver Post who won't let the Miles-to-the-University-of-Colorado rumor die, please stop. You're long past beginning to look sad. Forgetting that small "twice-as-much-money" issue, he's got another top ten recruiting class lined up AND returns a big chunk of this year's starters, (iii) And this just in – Nick Saban, Urban Meyer and Bob Stoops aren't available either. Nor is any other Top 25 coach outside of perhaps Boise, ID and Fort Worth, TX. Seriously – go look at the BCS Top 25 and tell us which of those coaches is bolting to Boulder? (Remember, Utah moves to the Pac 10 next year too.) Good luck, Buffs, (iv) Seen on a bumper sticker this week in Alabama: "Scam Newton". American ingenuity meets Bama hate, (v) Congratulations to Alabama senior quarterback Greg McElroy, named on Tuesday as the ESPN Academic All-American of Year. Good luck with the Rhodes Scholar shot – did I spell that correctly?, (vi) Quoting my colleague Pete Fiutak, "If you have to look up Rhodes Scholar to (spell) it right, you had better nail the interview cold", (vii) Lattimore has more receiving yards than any other SEC RB (18 for 287 yards, two TDs; 33rd overall in the conference), (viii) How was LSU's K Josh Jasper not included in the final three for the Groza Award? Without his offense the Tigers are .500, (ix) While we're playing the indignation card,
not including Kentucky's Danny Trevathan in the final 15 for the Butkus Award might be an even greater oversight
. I mean, the final 15?? On both stats and impact to his team, Trevathan is likely the best LB in the SEC, if not the nation, (x) However, there's a good case to be made that MSU's Chris White is actually the best all around LB in the SEC. Have you really looked at his numbers? Fourth best in tackles (only Trevathan, Dent & Sheppard are better), fifth best in tackles for loss (Fairley, Houston, Trevathan & Cornell), eighth best in sacks, and 20th best in INTs (there are only 2 LBs ahead of him on that list). He might not have the best PR effort in Starkville and we already knew he was good… but those are some "damn strong" numbers, as Lester himself would say, (xi) Speaking of LBs, Bama's Dont'a Hightower is overrated this year. Don't email us before you check out the stats, or we'll roast you, and (xii) As part of working on our 1st through 3rd Team All SEC voting, we've become even more impressed with LSU's true freshman DB Tyrann Mathieu – kid's not even a full time starter and he's everywhere. For example, there are only two DBs in the SEC that have more sacks than Mathieu, he's 42nd overall in TFL (10th in DBs, none of the other nine are freshmen), 9th best in passes defended (
remember – he plays behind Pat Peterson and Mo Claiborne
), 3rd best in forced fumbles (a true freshman DB?? Ahead of names like Nevis, Fairley, Sheppard and everyone else), and 67th overall in tackles. Goodbye Mr. Peterson. Helllllllllo Mr. Mathieu.
The Iron Bowl is going to overshadow the rest of the games this weekend, but
this Saturday should be one of the most exciting weekends of SEC football in years
. Of course rivalry games always matter, but what team doesn't have something on the line besides Vanderbilt? Arkansas and LSU are fighting over a chance at a BCS at Large bid, and frankly so is Alabama. The old South Carolina team would have walked into Death Valley and gone out a loser because they are favored to win against Clemson… This one we think might be different. Georgia and Tennessee are playing for their post season lives. Kentucky is trying to snap one of the worst losing streaks in college football, on the road, in a game that looks a lot tougher than it did a month ago. MSU and Ole Miss have completely reversed position from a year ago, and can you really count out The Reverend when he has nothing to lose? What game don't you want to watch? Every single one is Must See TV; this is about to be an SEC fan's dream Saturday. Enjoy.
IN FOCUS: Which SEC Coach/Player is in the Spotlight this week?
Mark Ingram, Alabama RB
– The best way to stop Cam Newton and this dynamic Auburn offense is to keep it off the field, and to do that Ingram must have a big game. He struggled against the Tigers in Auburn last season, so we imagine this game has been circled on his calendar all year long. However, by his high standards, Ingram has had a journeyman's performance in 2010.
He's rushed for more than 100 yards in just
SEC game – the first against Arkansas
. After that, it's been a steady decline into mediocrity for the talented junior. This spotlight is really as much on the Bama offensive line as it is Mr. Ingram – it's not like he suddenly forgot how to run over the summer. Alabama's not getting it done in the trenches this year (truthfully, on either side of the line), and that makes the road tougher for Ingram. But no excuses – certainly none for a Heisman winner. Ingram needs to grind up the clock and post a 100+ yard performance, regardless of any potential contribution from Trent Richardson. Ingram is Bama's horse, and without him grinding up the yards/clock, Alabama will lose to Auburn.
Mark Ingram, Alabama RB
– A year ago it looked like the Auburn defense may have cost Ingram a Heisman trophy as he rushed for 30 yards on 16 carries. This year Alabama can't win without him. There is one way to beat this year's Auburn and that is to keep Cameron Newton off the field with long, sustained drives. The Alabama defense isn't going to stop Newton… don't bring it up, don't tell us that is the key to the game, don't even think about it. No one has and no one will. But what can happen is a team can limit his touches by holding onto the ball. Two teams did it this year for a half: Clemson and Kentucky, and they did it by running the ball outside the tackles. If Ingram can get 20-25 carries with more than half of them going off tackle, Alabama can control the clock and limit Newton. Auburn is very strong up the middle against the run, the weakness is with the linebackers taking bad angles on the outside, and that is where Ingram can put up great numbers. Another 30 yard performance will result in a loss for the Crimson Tide; Ingram needs to have the game everyone expected a year ago this Friday.
1 Auburn – A week off to rest and avoid the papers
2 LSU – We think the Tigers fall a notch in this poll next week, but for now, here they are
3 Arkansas – Beating LSU
this year
is a program defining win, as it brings some Sugar
4 Alabama – You won't be able to do it without 150 on the ground
5 South Carolina – Spurrier rests Lattimore, thus losing to Clemson. But the prize is next week
Mississippi State (down from 5)
– So close they can taste it
7 Florida – Please don't embarrass the conference
8 Georgia – See above
9 Kentucky – Boy it really drops off there after MSU, doesn't it
10 Tennessee – Bray keeps rolling, keeps eating
11 ole miss – Would have appreciated seeing that effort all season, y'all
12 Vanderbilt – No way you fire Caldwell after just one year; he's good for Vandy
1 Auburn – Does being the underdog in Tuscaloosa relieve some of the pressure?
2 LSU – If close call against Ole Miss surprises you, you haven't been paying attention
3 Alabama – The Tide relegated to a spoiler role; but against Auburn, they'll take it
4 Arkansas – So lucky to win that game; but like LSU, good teams get "lucky"
5 South Carolina – The new Cocks destroy Clemson; old ones lose to ACC rival
6 Mississippi State – Right on the doorstep; making progress. Be like Arkansas.
7 Florida – Buck up against FSU, fellas
8 Georgia – 5-6 UGA vs. 6-5 Tech… Yuck
9 Kentucky – Stop complaining about your bowl; force a better game by beating Vols
10 Tennessee – A W over UK puts Vols in a bowl game; who saw that coming?
11 Vanderbilt – Wake Forest to close out the year; chance for a third win
12 Ole Miss – Nutt needs a pretty big effort to win the Egg Bowl against MSU
Auburn vs. Alabama; Friday, November 26th | 2:30 PM | CBS
. Really, even with two losses, how many of you think this is the de facto national championship game? It's certainly got that gravitas, even if it's not on a neutral field. And that little nugget is what keeps this game close. It's the fashionable pick right now to take the Tide – even if folks are forgetting that Bama's rushing this year has been one step north of pedestrian. And Bama will need to establish and maintain the run to beat Auburn. One week out of the spotlight, and everyone's already forgotten just how good this Auburn offense is. Sure, the Tiger defense is spotty against the pass, and that combined with the aforementioned home field keeps this game close. But Bama hasn't been able to get any pressure on the QB whatsoever this year, and they can't simply focus on stopping the run since Cam's the second best QB in the nation in Passing Efficiency. If they try putting 8-9 in the box, he's going to light them up. We read one national pundit actually claim that Alabama's inability to get pressure on the QB this season (last in SEC Sacks and TFL) will actually work in its favor this Saturday, as their "weakness" means there will be more bodies that Cam has to navigate. Really?? What are we calling that, the Inept Gridlock Defense? It's not that they're not rushing folks - they're just not getting to the QB. As we've noted, this Auburn offense has improved with each game, so comparing it's earlier road contests to today is apples to oranges. Cam rolls on Bama for 200+, like he has against everyone else…
Auburn 31, Alabama 28
LSU vs. Arkansas; Saturday, November 27th | 3:30 PM | CBS
. Again, how really does one handicap an LSU game this season with a straight face? Like the Tigers themselves, we're 10-1 picking LSU games this season, and we're the first to tell you it's next to impossible to predict what's going to happen - absent the fact that LSU will do almost anything on offense, and its defense is fantastic against anything but a spread offense. Everyone's picking Arkansas on this – and we did earlier. But I have to catch Brian, and as we're both likely to choose Auburn next week, I'm taking the Tigers against my better judgment. The Hogs should win this tight game. Davis won't get much of a running game going against LSU, but it'll be enough to force the Tigers' excellent secondary to stay up in support. Which should be just enough for Mallett to post a good showing against LSU, making up for his career high in incomplete passes last year (22). But in order to catch Harbach, we're going to hope the Mad Hatter has some magic left in said hat, that Jefferson puts up another performance like he did last week against ole miss, that Davis struggles, and that the vaunted Tiger secondary is as good as it's been all season. Sigh. Well, if all that comes together, that should be enough for the Tigers to squeak by on the road...
LSU 34, Arkansas 31
Florida vs. Florida State; Saturday, November 27th | 3:30 PM | ABC
. Get out the DVR, 'cause everyone outside of Florida will be watching the LSU/Arkansas game. Really, given how bad it's been down in Gainesville, it's hard to get up for this one. Please don't embarrass the conference. I think FSU wins unless Ponder pulls a "Ponder", but I have to catch up to Brian, so deep breath… C'mon Florida Defense! Score some points!...
Florida 21, FSU 20
Record: 28-9
Auburn vs. Alabama; Friday, November 26th | 2:30 PM | CBS
. It doesn't get any bigger than the Iron Bowl, and last year we had a similar situation… one team playing to stay in the hunt for the BCS Championship and the other trying to play spoiler. Auburn played Alabama tough, but the better team won in the end… and the same thing will happen this year. Auburn's offense has not been stopped by anyone this year; LSU kept it close with great special teams play and put Auburn in bad field position all game, and still lost. Alabama is the most complete team Auburn will face this year, but the Auburn offense is just too good right now. With a bye week to rest and prepare, the Tigers will be able to put more pressure on Alabama to score each drive and that will lead to some mistakes. Auburn gets the road win the same way the Tide did a year ago, on the final drive…
Auburn 38, Alabama 31
LSU vs. Arkansas; Saturday, November 27th | 3:30 PM | CBS
. Earlier this year we were treated to great defense vs. great offense with Auburn vs. LSU, and this game is essentially part two of that story. LSU finds ways to win games and Arkansas finds ways to put points on the board. If there is one game on Saturday not to miss, this is the one. Knile Davis is starting to come into his own behind a very good Razorback offensive line, and LSU's Jordan Jefferson may have found some confidence throwing the ball against Bama and Ole Miss. The Battle for the Boot always seem to come down to the final drive, and while it is hard to pick against Les Miles in close games, Arkansas at home might be too much…
Arkansas 34, LSU 31
Florida vs. Florida State; Saturday, November 27th | 3:30 PM | ABC
. Urban Meyer has yet to lose to Florida State, but this game is a must win for the Gators and thus the pressure is intense. After starting in the top five, Florida losing five games would be shocking. Talent wise, Florida is miles ahead of Florida State today, but the way Jimbo Fisher is recruiting you won't be able to say that for very long. This game is more about what Florida "can and can't do" than it is what Florida State does. Can Florida move the ball against a quality defense, can they sustain drives without confusing the quarterbacks? We haven't seen them do that against any decent team this year and that isn't going to change this week. Does Florida State have enough juice to banish the Gators to Tennessee for the Bowl season…
Florida State 24, Florida 16
Record: 30-7
