Mayan calendar end of the world
Some people claim that the world will end Friday (tomorrow) since that is when the Mayan calendar ends. My question is: Since Friday starts at different times due to time zones, will it all end when Friday starts in the time zone where the Mayans lived, or will it end for each time zone as they reach Friday? So much for my nonsense question for the day.

Re: Mayan calendar end of the world
It is amazing how stuff like this gathers steam. THE guy that deciphered the Mayan code was chuckling as there was never any reference to doomsday- just the end of a cycle. The roots of this rumor began in the New Age movement in the 60's. Bugarach France is cashing in on the loonies that are descending the town of pop 176 to be carried away to safety by the alien spaceship that is hidden in the local, distinctive mountain that looks like the Devil's Tower from Close Encounters. The Gendarmes and French Army are cordoning off the mountain tomorrow.
Re: Mayan calendar end of the world
Recorded in sidreal time,....we see 24 hour as the earth circling the sun, 12 months as the moon around the earth. The mayan calender is the solar system as we know it 7 planets 10? as it moves through the 12 signs of the zodiac measured in ages, we have left pisces and entered into aquarious the age of knowing. The beginning of the Mayan calendar was 5,000 some odd years back when there was a great calamity upon the earth. They figured that this may happen every two ages. Not the end of the world but some say the end of it as we may know it. I am going to have turkey wings tonite so if we make it to next week and the bones are dry , I can start on a turkey call, yup!

Re: Mayan calendar end of the world
Hang on one minute. If we research into this deeper we find out a big disaster is going to happen and when were not sure yet. What started it all is the hoppe indians was getting a visit from our goverment about a lease or treaty about there land when the indians mentioned about the end of the world will happen sooner or later. Now the goverment is drilling under ground caves all over our country for there survival.
We in the usa have the biggest super volcano in the world at yellow stone and the ground is rising every year. I would think this would erupt and end it. The count down has started with the 12-21-2012 winter solstice its just a matter of time. One more thought is a strike by an asteroid, but there is a hole in our magnetic field too. The worst solar flares are due here by May 2013 NASA says. They also said it can happen so fast we don't stand a chance.
On the other hand i hope our creator retrurns to set us straight and it will be a new beginning for us on the earth the next chapter, i pray and hope, godbless BigBill
I'm going to enjoy each day and play with my tractors right till the end so be it. I have plenty of Ed's corn meal, plenty of can goods meat and veggies and flour for bread. I'm all set if we live thru it.
I'm technically misunderstood at times i guess its been this way my whole life so why should it change now.

govenor trouble
Hello I'm new this site. My 9 year old son purchased a 1949 cub that sat for 5 years, after getting it to run noticed threre was no throtle range(first notch idle 2nd notch wide open). Also had a miss. We rebuilt the motor installed another govenor but still the same trouble no throtle range. After many checks and conversations with other mechanics and collectors still coming up stumped. Tried many adjustments still nothing. I noticed the throtle lever will not go back to the first notch without alot of pressure, the arm on the govenor goes down and pinches the spring on the housing. I've looked at other cubs and this doesn't happen. thinking I have a linkage problem but not sure. I have inspected three different govenors I have and can't find anything different in them thats why I'm leaning towards a linkage problem but its driving me nuts. Thanks for any help.
Re: govenor trouble
with it started, can you stand on the left side and pull on the carb linkage and get it to slow down? once slow, can you rev it up.
When you push or pull on the throttle, with someone watching, does the rocker lever on the gov. relax and stretch the spring? does this rocker arm move smoothly and easily?
Is there ANY play in the linkage from the gov. to the carb?
Does the long rod from the throttle to the gov have any or a lot of flex to it? Is it in the bracket that is mounted to the head?
Any, and all of these could cause your issues.
Re: govenor trouble
Congrats to your son on acquiring his very 1st Cub and good show to Dad for helping him with his new toy One heck of a way to get some quality father and son time.
In the diagram below, suggest you lubricate all the connecting points with a good penetrating oil. Not WD-40 but something like Nut Buster, PB Blaster, Kroil, Solvo-Rust etc., Let it soak in and reapply as required. Patience is the key to unfreezing the governor rod assembly. Dirt, crud and corrosion can freeze it up pretty tight. That should solve the problem.
One of the first things I recommend to new Cub owners is to read the Owner's Manual - click on this link McCormick Farmall Cub Operator's Manual 5-1-49. Suggest reading it and then familiarizing what you read with the real thing.
We have lots of resources for our members and might I suggest that you also follow the links below. Tons of info on Cubs and solving problems as well as other good stuff

Re: govenor trouble
Have you adjusted the governor linkage to the carburetor?
From Rudi's manuals:

Re: govenor trouble
Thanks for the sugestions, all the linkage is free and lubricated. I had bushings made to take up the play in areas that I could. With it running I can slow it down by pulling it back, when I let it go it springs back wide open. I used the manuals on Rudis page to adjust the linkage, but with the throtle lever not going all the way back I don't know if i'm starting at the right spot when it says to set the throtle half way then adjust the yoke on the carb shaft. Thanks again.
Re: govenor trouble
The problem suggests that the governor weights are not operating or the rockshaft is binding. When the throttle is opened, the throttle rockshaft on the top of the governor pivots and puts tension on the throttle spring, which is attached to the governor rockshaft. This tension on the rockshaft swings the fork inside the governor that is attached to the rockshaft back against the thrust bearing. Since the carburetor throttle plate is now fully open and the engine is increasing in RPM, the rotating weights inside the governor are propelled outward. This action pushes forward against the thrust bearing inside the governor, which pivots the rockshaft in the direction to close the carburetor throttle plate. The engine high idle is established by adjusting the throttle spring tension to provide just enough resistance against the rotating weights to prevent the weights from closing the carburetor throttle plate beyond a set high idle point. Unless you know that the governor you put on the tractor was working properly, you may still not have a good governor. Condensation in the crankcase is an issue with Cubs when the engines are not regularly brought up to operating temperature. This moisture can settle on the governor innards, causing rust and gum to accumulate when the engine sits idle for a long time. If your linkage seems loose and free, I would pull the governor, separate it, and examine the innards to make sure everything moves freely and is free of rust or gum.
Re: govenor trouble
there is a stop-screw for the butterfly at the top of the carburetor near where the governor linkage attaches to the carburetor that I've had to adjust. The governor linkage into the carburetor is tricky in my opinion and it doesn't take much turning to change the idle and full throttle settings for the engine.
Re: govenor trouble
For what it's worth, my Cub has had an issuue with some slop in between the shaft and the rockshaft spring lever (items 4 and 8 in Rudis schematic). The woodruff key has "wollered out" the spring lever so that the govenor reaction is minimized. i.e. the govenor rolls the shaft to speed up or slow down the engine but the thottle doesn't respond, or at least doesn't respond as it should, having some lag time and when it does react it tends to jump the rpm's. The reason I mention it is because it's in an area that wouldn't normally be observed and not something one would immediatly suspect.
As Dale said it could be any or all these things, I wanted to point this out as a less obvious possibilty.

Re: govenor trouble
Much has been written about the back and forth play that can develop between the woodruff key and the keyway that connects the extension to the governor rockshaft. On my first Cub, there was a small allen head set screw in the hub of the governor rockshaft. At this point, I do not recall if it was positioned directly over the woodruff key, as I think it should have been, but once the extension shaft with the woodruff key was inserted into the hub and the set screw turned down, it locked the two shafts together nicely. I do not know if this set screw arrangement was factory original in some years or it was a unique modification by the previous owner. I have two other Cubs and neither have the set screw. Regardless, it would be a rather simple modification to prevent the develpment of play at the coupling.

Documentary filmmakers Shari Robertson and Michael Camerini, the team behind the acclaimed How Democracy Works Now series that explores the battle over comprehensive immigration reform in the 2000s, discuss what it was like to experience Washington, DC and the policymaking process from an insider's perspective.
In 2001, filmmakers Shari Robertson and Michael Camerini embarked on a journey that took them across the country and into the offices of the U.S. Capitol, local town halls, high-level negotiations, election races, and activist rallies, all to tell one large and complex story: how the U.S. policy process — particularly in immigration reform — really works. Joyce Matthews, editor of the Migration Information Source, recently caught up with Michael and Shari for a candid conversation about their ambitious project and what they took away from their six years filming the U.S. immigration debate. Foreword by Demetrios G. Papademetriou, President of the Migration Policy Institute.
Rarely is migration among the Chinese from Hong Kong, the People's Republic of China, and Taiwan to the countries of the Pacific Rim as cut and dry as the labels "immigrant," "emigrant," and "returnee" suggest. In fact, Chinese migrants from each of these areas of origin share a tendency for traversing between their homeland; country of work, study, or residence; and even a third country as the needs of the family dictate. This article examines these contemporary migration patterns using Chinese migrants in New Zealand as a case study.
The past decade has brought tens of thousands of Chinese migrants to Africa, and well over half of all Chinese migrants to the continent head to South Africa. Yoon Jung Park of Rhodes University discusses the history of Chinese migration to South Africa, the various communities of Chinese currently residing in the country, and their levels of political, social, and economic integration.
Most of China's roughly 145 million rural-to-urban migrants were born after 1980, making this population the "new generation" of internal migrant workers. Having been directly influenced by China's rapid economic growth and recent sociodemographic policy changes, this cohort of rural-urban migrants offers much to learn with respect to their motivations. This article discusses survey data indicating that new-generation migrants have somewhat different motivations and expectations than their more traditional counterparts, such as the desire for excitement, fun, and career development independent of the needs of the family back home.
Over the past two decades, the settlement patterns of immigrants in the United States have changed as an increasing number of the foreign born are choosing to make states in the southern and middle regions of the country their home. MPI's Aaron Terrazas profiles the immigrants in these "new-destination" states and compares them to the rest of the foreign-born population.
Los Estados Unidos es hogar para aproximadamente 2.9 millones de inmigrantes provenientes de los países centroamericanos Belice, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, y Panamá. La migración de Centroamérica ha crecido rápidamente en las recientes décadas, pero más de dos de cada cinco inmigrantes centroamericanos carecen de estatus migratorio legal mientras que alrededor de uno en diez residen en los Estados Unidos bajo la protección temporal humanitaria.
The 2.9 million Central American immigrants living in the United States were more likely than both the native born and the foreign-born population overall to be of working age and to be participating in the U.S. labor force. MPI's Aaron Terrazas examines the population's size, geographic distribution, and demographic characteristics.

Historically a diverse country, Singapore since the 1980s has become a top destination for Asian and Western professionals as well as low-skilled migrants from across the region. Brenda S.A. Yeoh of the National University of Singapore reports.

Chikako Kashiwazaki of Keio University and Tsuneo Akaha of the Monterey Institute of International Studies provide an overview of Japan's migration issues.
As Ulf Hedetoft of Aalborg University and the Academy for Migration Studies in Denmark explains, the question of how to handle cultural and religious differences has come to dominate the Danish political agenda.
Iran has long connected the great civilizations of Asia, the Near East and the Mediterranean.

One of the poorest countries in Central Asia and a former Soviet Republic, Tajikistan has dealt with Afghan refugees, experienced outward flows of ethnic Russians since its independence, and seen thousands of ethnic Tajiks leave for temporary employment in Russia.

The results of the 2010 elections seem likely to ensure a standoff on any immigration legislation and more immigration enforcement measures at the state level, as

Red Sox get Saltalamacchia from Rangers
Boston sends two Minor Leaguers to Texas for catcher
BOSTON -- In a move that improved their catching depth, the Red Sox acquired Jarrod Saltalamacchia from the Texas Rangers shortly before Saturday's non-waiver Trade Deadline.
Saltalmacchia was a player that had been linked to the Red Sox in the past, but nothing had ever come to fruition until now. He will report to Triple-A Pawtucket.
In exchange for Saltalamachhia, the Red Sox parted with two Minor League players -- right-hander Roman Mendez and first baseman Chris McGuiness. Boston also sent a player to be named and cash considerations to Texas.
Victor Martinez, who returned from the disabled list last week, is Boston's starting catcher. Backup Jason Varitek has been out since June 30 with a fractured right foot and will remain out for at least a couple of more weeks. Kevin Cash is serving as Martinez's backup.
Saltalamacchia started for the Rangers on Opening Day, but went to the disabled list following the second game of the season with stiffness in his upper back and shoulder.
However, Saltalamacchia did not return to the Rangers after getting healthy. Instead, he played 63 games for Triple-A Oklahoma City before the trade, hitting .244 with 11 homers and 33 RBIs.
Over the years, he has been better regarded for his work at the plate than behind it. Starting in June of last season, Saltalamacchia started having problems with erratic throws, even back to the mound.
During his stay in the Minors this year, he worked on timing mechanisms that helped him correct the problem.
The 25-year-old Saltalamacchia has played 240 games in the Majors, hitting .251 with 23 homers and 94 RBIs. He can also play first base.

I was totally stoked when I received a parcel from Queens Wardrobe with this dress. I have a lot of white dresses but they are all lace or a-line and I really wanted something chiffon, easy to style, layer and wear. They really have amazing stuff! Blogger Alice Point is totally rocking their leopard cardi over here, damn, me want that cardi so badly :)
I was walking on Bricklane (London) and bumbed into a store having a lot of similar items (like the A-wang duffel knock off) but for double the price and ehhh make that double the price in pounds so thats actually about triple the price in dollars, no? I'm really eying these buckle boots I have been looking for them for ages and I think the silhouette of the boot is perfect, no?
I just had to share some more London pics, I'm still sorting out a lot of photos, but this is truly my dream lunch :)

Web Series Pitch Competition a Hit
March 25, 2011
"I learned that a lot of people love writing about hipsters from Williamsburg. They're like the new gay best friend," observed the host of our first pitching competition, comedian Wayne Federman (writer for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon). Members pitched their web series ideas to digital media experts at our fast-paced and friendly competition. Pitches were judged by a panel of prominent digital entertainment professionals - Rob Barnett, Founder and CEO of MyDamnChannel.com, Josh Cohen, Co-Founder Tubefilter.tv and Jeremy Redleaf (hit webseries Odd Jobs). The winning pitch was from John Capo for his new webseries The RA's.
All participants got feedback and ideas for branding and monetization for their shows. Lead organizer Ursula Lawrence said the event was designed to be a "fun, interactive and educational event that should inspire writers to get started on their own digital projects and help those that are already on the way." Winner John Capo said "The event helped demystify aspects of the pitching process and was meaningful on a number of levels. Winning was the icing on the cake."

Cruise Ship Pier at Rhodes, Greece. A short walk south from the pier leads to the historic walled Old Town.
Avenue of the Knights, Old Town
Walk into the Old Town through St Catherine's Gate then head right to find the fabulous Avenue of the Knights, built in medieval times (around the 14th century). The street was the place of residence of the Crusader Knights and is still excellently preserved. The Knights lived in one of seven inns, representing the seven faiths or tongues from whence they originated. The tall walls that line the street on either side - complete with codes of arms carved in stone - are foreboding and majestic at the same time.
Palace of the Grand Masters, Old Town
At the top of the Avenue of the Knights you'll spot the immense Palace of the Grand Masters, now an absorbing museum. It's a heavily fortified structure, built as the last line of defence should the city walls fall. The palace was the main meeting place for the Order of Knights of St John.
The Walls of the Old Town
You can walk along the Old Town's walls, for a close up view of medieval Rhodes, and for magnificent panoramas of the surrounding new town, island and Aegean. The walls were built over a period of two centuries, work beginning around 1330. (Currently Tuesday and Saturday mornings only, entrance by the Grand Masters Palace).
Elli Beach
From the Old City, a short 10 minute walk northwards along the coastline past the famous Stag and Doe statues guarding the harbor takes you to Elli beach. It's a very popular beach, offering sunbeds, umbrellas, showers, watersports, beachside bars, and for the brave an offshore diving platform.
Lindos ia a picture-perfect Greek village, with whitewashed houses beside an impossibly aquamarine sea. It has a pretty beach, and lots of interesting shops and characterful restaurants and bars. But Lindos has something extra special, because next to the village stands a huge rock, surmounted by an intact walled acropolis. You can walk up the steep steps to the Acropolis, and explore the Temple of Athena, which dates back to the 4th century BC. Lindos is halfway down the southeast coast of Rhodes island and about 30 miles away from Rhodes town, which for DIY die hards equates to a 75 minute public bus journey from the East Side bus station (for less hassle join an organised shore excursion).

Upton named NL Player of the Month
Outfielder hit .373 with seven home runs in May
SAN DIEGO -- Justin Upton's big month at the plate was rewarded Thursday when he was named the Sharp Presents National League Player of the Month for May.
Upton, 21, struggled the final few weeks of Spring Training and the initial two weeks of the regular season before finding his stroke at the plate. In fact, his resurgence can be traced to an at-bat that occurred April 14 against the Cardinals.
In an eighth-inning at-bat in that game, Upton fell behind 0-2 in the count, battled back to 3-2 and was then hit by a pitch. Conor Jackson followed with a big homer and the D-backs went on to finally win in 10 innings.
"That kind of got me into the mindset I'm in now which is that I'm not worrying about mechanics," Upton said. "In that at-bat I was just worried about getting on base and I forgot everything mechanically and I actually felt comfortable at the plate. Letting my athletic ability take over is going to be big for me and not worrying so much about the result. Just focusing on having a good at-bat."
Prior to that, Upton was focused on making mechanical adjustments at the plate, because it was said he wrapped the bat too far around his head in his stance.
Upton hit .373 during May with a .709 slugging percentage that included eight doubles, four triples, seven homers and 21 RBIs.
Upton hit two homers in a game twice during the month, the first on May 6 at San Diego and then on May 20 at Florida. The second homer in Florida was a 13th-inning game winner.

About Mercedes Benz 280E
The Mercedes Benz 280E was produced for about one decade spanning 1975 to 1985. It was a popular choice due to the fact that it had all the amenities of its "S" class counterpart at a fraction of the cost. The big draw was that it boasted the Bosch designed signature fuel injection system, allowing for an overall higher level of performance throughout the vehicle. Because it was a more compact car than its predecessors, it made the handling even better. The 280E had a 6 cylinder engine which helped it to put forth an ample amount of power given its smaller size and lighter weight. Although it is not as much of a collectible as some of the others from its time, it remains a quality vehicle, that if well maintained, can still be seen on the road today.

Being disaster-ready includes preparing your family and home for potential emergencies that could occur in your area.
According to the Red Cross, these are four ways you can prepare for a disaster:
1. Know what emergencies or disasters are most likely to occur in your community.
2. Have a family disaster plan and practice it.
3. Have an emergency preparedness kit.
4. Make sure at least one member of your household is trained in first aid and CPR/AED.
The Red Cross recommends holding a family meeting to discuss and prepare a response to emergencies. A family plan should include:
1. Places to meet, depending on the type of emergency, outside your home and outside your neighborhood.
2. An out-of-area emergency contact person in case local phone lines are out of service.
3. An evacuation plan that includes where you would go and the route you would take to get there.
4. Practicing evacuating your home twice a year.
5. Planning ahead for pets.
FEMA also recommends building a disaster kit, should you need to evacuate at a moment's notice. A basic kit should include the following FEMA-recommended items:
1. Water, one gallon per person per day for at least three days.
2. Food, at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food.
3. Battery-powered or hand crank radio, a NOAA Weather Radio and extra batteries for both.
4. Flashlight and extra batteries.
5. First aid kit.
6. Whistle to signal for help.
7. Dust mask to help filter contaminated air, plastic sheeting and duct tape.
8. Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation.
9. Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities.
10. Manual can opener for food
11. Local maps.
12. Cell phone with chargers, inverter or solar charger.

When the earth moves under our feet
One of the most breath-taking geologic events is a major earthquake. In just a few moments, shaking of the Earth can result in billions of dollars of damage and thousands of lives lost.
When in a tornado, here's what not to do
Highway overpasses are widely thought to be a last-minute refuge from a tornado, thanks in part to this 1991 video. But, meteorologists say, taking shelter beneath a bridge is probably the last place you want to be when a tornado strikes.

EfficientGrip Performance
Customer Comments
Immediate improvement in ride quality, less tramlining and dramatically less road noise. Any impact on MPG and tyre life will be the icing on the cake - will have to wait and see.10/05/2014
I fitted two to the rear of my Touran. They are noticeably quiter, the car feels smoother and sure footed in corners and the wet. After 500 miles it's too early to tell for any improvement in mpg but it certainly isn't worse. Looking forward to putting some on the front.15/03/2014
My Car feel much better to drive and even though the tyres have hardly scrubbed in the improvement over my last tyres is obvious. Grip in wet is brilliant, I no longer feel the car being light coming off a roundabout. In the dry the tyre feels grippy and I feel confident in driving my car enthusiastically. The comfort of the tyres is excellent too, they are quiet and absorb minor imperfections in the road surface. A high quality made in Germany tyre from Goodyear. I would highly recommend these tyres and I will definitely buy them again.03/03/2014
Amazing tyres! Fantastic grip. A+++++23/02/2014
Brilliant grip and very quiet. Although 50% more expensive than 'value' unbranded tyres, they are well worth it. The value tyres had the anti-skid light flashing on every journey; the Goodyear tyres hardly ever make the light come on even though the driving styles are the same. They are also much quieter almost to the point of making it sound like a different car. 5 Stars.07/01/2014

On Bookshelves: "An Available Man," by WGAE member Hilma Wolitzer
January 24, 2012
"I'm completely in love with this particular available man, and with the words that brought him to life for me. This book is very dear to my heart. What a gratifying read: wit! poignancy! authenticity! I asked myself constantly, How does Hilma Wolitzer do it?"—Elinor Lipman, author of THEN SHE FOUND ME
"Families are Wolitzer's turf, and she's an observant and often humorous chronicler of domesticity and the stuff that comes with it: illness, loss, boredom, crankiness, and, on good days, love."—PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"Wolitzer is a champ at the closely observed, droll novel of manners, while also recognizing that — for both her characters and her readers — there's more at stake than laughs in the situations she depicts." — NPR
"Wonderful. . . Wolitzer's vision of the world, for all its sorrow, is often hilarious and always compassionate. Her novels are social comedies: they may feature jiltings, separations and bereavement, but they tend to have happy endings." — The New York Times
AN AVAILABLE MAN, published by Ballantine, is now on sale.

|6' 4"/ 312 lbs.
|San Diego, CA
|Michigan State
|Years played
Lions might not be done adding defensive talent
According to our sources, the Lions should not be considered the favorites to land now-free-agent S O.J. Atogwe, but they do have interest in his services.
Lions taking shackles off Stafford somewhat
The Lions appear to be letting out a little slack in the leash they put on QB Matthew Stafford last season.
Forgotten: Milt Plum
For a brief period of time, Milt Plum was the game's most efficient passer, as evidenced by the three straight years he led the league in completion percentage (1959-61).
Lions have glut at safety opposite Delmas
We know that Louis Delmas will be one of the starting safeties for the Lions after a very solid rookie season. But who will line up next to him?
Lions' Cherilus has health to consider
ORT Gosder Cherilus is likely one of the Lions who will be most in the spotlight this summer and fall, and he recently had debris cleaned from his knee.
Vets feeling heat with rookies on board
The draft is in the rearview mirror, but here are five veteran players who could be looking over their shoulders with rookies gunning for their jobs.
Longtime assistant coach Karmelowicz dies
Longtime NFL assistant coach Bob Karmelowicz died Saturday at age 60, the Lions announced Sunday. The cause of death was cancer of the nasal passages, according to the Kansas City Star.
Lions bring back Army's Campbell
The Lions will be bringing back Caleb Campbell, a seventh-round pick of the team in 2008 who was not allowed to sign with the team because of his Army commitment.
2010 draft choices by team: Lions
Here are the players who were chosen by the Detroit Lions in the 2010 NFL draft.
Lions find seam-stretching tight end
In addition to the fact that TE Tony Scheffler appears genuinely excited to play for the Lions, the team is happy with the offensive situation it built prior to the draft.
Lions see Best-case scenario
Thought the Lions were done with Ndamukong Suh? Oh no. The Lions moved up for Jahvid Best, who helps them in two areas — as a runner and as a kick returner.
Suh continues Lions' overhaul up the middle
Jim Schwartz knows defense. And he knows DT Ndamukong Suh fills a major need inside at a position where it can be hard to find special players.
Eagles land Sims in three-team deal; Lions get Scheffler
The Eagles have acquired LB Ernie Sims from the Lions in a three-way trade on Monday. The Lions also landed TE Tony Scheffler from Denver, with the Broncos getting draft picks.
Lions TE FitzSimmons retires
Lions TE Casey FitzSimmons retired on Wednesday after suffering several concussions during his seven-year NFL career, including one in December that is still causing problems.
Lions could be looking for other DT options
The Lions would be interested in trading for Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth, who might or might not be available, but that interest speaks volumes about the No. 2 pick in the draft.
The Chargers signed Nwagbuo to a one-year deal.||||||| Nwagbuo was waived by the Chargers on Sept. 3. Nwagbuo played for the Chargers the last two seasons, appearing in 27 games with five starts. He was signed after Luis Castillo broke his lower leg.
Nwagbuo has been on IR with an ankle injury since Dec. 9.|||||||

"Sad but Fascinating Lives"
Julia Fox came up with a fascinating idea in writing a dual biography of the most renowned of Ferdinand and Isabella???s daughters: Katherine of Aragon, Henry VIII???s beleaguered queen, and Juana of Castile. The last work of non-fiction that I read (Alison Weir???s bio of Mary Boleyn) was tediously repetitious and digressive, a problem I???ve found with many historical biographies. Fox, however, has avoided that pitfall, creating an engaging and highly readable narrative.
Katherine and Juana have been reduced over time almost to caricatures, Katherine as the stubbornly Catholic wife who refused to let Henry go, and Juana as a wife so obsessed with her husband that his affairs and early death drove her to madness. But Fox shows that there was much more to each woman, and that, to a great extent, the restrictions of gender and the machinations of the men around them caused their downfalls. She details Katherine???s role as an ambassador concerned with the interests of both Spain and England, as well as her diplomacy and finesse in dealing with Henry. Fox does an admirable job of presenting fairly the events with which most readers will be familiar: her penurious widowhood following the death of Prince Arthur; the dispensation to marry Henry; the many miscarriages, stillbirths, and infant deaths; her displacement by Anne Boleyn. In the case of Juana, Fox???s research demonstrates that existing letters and reports from those permitted to see her following her confinement for madness demonstrate that she behaved sanely and graciously. Fox contends that her husband and father schemed to keep her from exercising sovereignty over Castile, Ferdinand in particular unwilling to give up what he had jointly ruled with Isabella after she died and left the crown to Juana, her eldest daughter.
Through no fault of the author???s, the space devoted to the sisters is not balanced 50/50, simply because there is less documentation of Juana???s life. Near the end, Fox poses a fascinating question: What would have happened if the sisters??? roles had been reversed???if Katherine, so good at diplomacy, had been Queen of Castile, and if Juana, who produced six children (two emperors and four queens) had been Henry???s wife?
"Couldn't Finish This One"
This collection of short stories by Australian Olga Masters left me very frustrated. I didn't care for the way many of them started by throwing the reader into the middle of the story, and I cared even less for the abrupt, unresolved endings (the stories just stopped, as if the writer had fallen asleep at her desk). Worse still was the overall tone and subject matter. Nearly every story involved child or wife beating, intended, I suppose, the show how tough life was for people trying to scrape a living in small towns and the outback. I just can't get into a father beating his son bloody at the dinner table while all his wife does is offer him brownies in an attempt to distract him, and one of the daughters keeps throwing out more suggestions for why her brother needs to be beaten to ramp up the violence. I got about 2/3 through this one and just couldn't take any more.
"Just Not an Alice Munro Fan"
I know that I am part of a very small minority, but I am not an Alice Munro fan. Her stories aren't bad, but to me, they are just incredibly boring. I will give her credit for writing realistic contemporary dialogue, and I guess it's a talent to be able to write a long story about ordinary people in fairly ordinary situations. And there are brief moments of insight into human nature. But that's about all I have to say. I've now read several of her collections, and I've felt the same way about each. It's never a good sign when you are about halfway through a story and just want it to end . . . For the last 100 pages, I kept thinking about what I will read next. (Hint: It won't be by Alice Munro.) The reader is OK; she has that quiet monotone that is typical of readers of "important" literature that supposedly speaks for itself--the Poetry Reading Voice.
"Rather Disappointing"
Sorry to say that, in the end, I'm rather disappointed with this one. Gardam uses an epistolary framework--although it's hard to remember that midway, when the letters become so lengthy and self-absorbed that the reader forgets there is a supposed recipient. The writer/narrator, Eliza Peabody, is a middle-aged know-it-all who initially feels compelled to proffer her superior wisdom--gained a s a hospice volunteer--to her neighbor, Joan, who apparently suffers from debilitating pain in one leg. Eliza has decided that Joan's pain is psychosomatic and advises her to just get over it, offering her own help as an amateur psychotherapist. Surprisingly, after a few more letters, it is discovered that Joan has run off, leaving her leg brace in the marital bed. Although Joan never replies to Eliza's letters, we learn that she has embarked on a new life, travelling to exotic locations and having affairs with much younger foreign men. Periodically, gifts from Joan arrive--but never a letter. In the meantime, Eliza's own life takes a turn for the worst as her husband moves out to take a flat with Joan's abandoned husband. The letters continue, with Eliza portraying herself, narcissistically, as the abandoned spouse, now abandoned as well by any borderline friends she might have had, and making herself out to be the heroine of everyone's lives, from Joan's university-student daughter to Barry, a young man dying of AIDS in the hospice.
Initially, I was intrigued by Eliza's voice, which Gardam conveyed with much humor. But as the letters dragged on and the descriptions of her own escapades and musings became longer and more self-pitying, I got bored. Yes, I do understand that what Gardam was trying to portray was the sadness and near-madness of a woman who has isolated herself from everyone; it just didn't particularly interest me, and I found the one-sided epistolary device tedious.
Three stars for the writing and the creation of a complete character, plus the initial humor is Eliza's self-deceptive letters to Joan. But Gardam has written much better novels.
"Taking Down the Booker Prize"
This was my first experience reading Edward St. Aubyn, and I quite enjoyed the ride. Lost for Words is a send-up of the British literary scene--in particular, the Man Booker Prize and all the hubbub surrounding it. St. Aubyn clearly took his inspiration from the controversy of a few years back, when a semi-qualified panel decided to invoke popularity over literary quality. Several of the judges for the Elysian Prize for Literature have spurious qualifications; others unabashedly admit to not planning to read all the submitted books, and each is promoting a particular book because of preference (e.g., one likes nothing better than Scottish historical novels). The hopeful authors have their quirks as well. (My favorite was an Indian writer whose publisher mistakenly submits his aunt's cookbook instead of his own novel, The Mulberry Elephant.) St. Aubyn provides subtle humor in the behind-the-scenes rivalries and passions as well as the public debates. I saw the ending coming, but it was still fun getting there.
"Great Play (er, Novel), Great Reader, Great Fun"
This is the second adaptation of a Shakespearean play by Hartley and Hewson that I've listened to on audio, and it was just as much fun as the first. In part, this is due to the excellent choice of readers: Alan Cumming for Macbeth and Richard Armitage for Hamlet. If you are a Shakespearean purist who can't abide embellishments to the 1623 Folio, best skip these novelized versions. In the H & H Hamlet, for example, a key character is added: young Yorick, son of the old jester, who tries to knock Hamlet out of his melancholy with more wisdom than foolery and is a constant companion to the prince throughout the novel. You might also be put off by the cruelty of both Old Hamlet and Polonius, the portrait of Fortinbras as a rather bumbling and brooding braggart, the details offered regarding the relationship between Hamlet and Ophelia,and the fact that Ophelia's death is not depicted as a suicide here. But if you are willing to suspend what you already know about this cultural icon, you're in for quite an entertaining ride.
"Fascinating True Story"
I had not read any of Sue Monk Kidd's previous books--they sounded too much like the kind of schmaltzy Southern women's fiction that I really do not enjoy.. But this one sounded interesting, so I gave it a try. The main character is based on a real person, Sarah Grimke, the daughter of a Charleston judge and plantation owner. In the nineteenth-century, she shocked her family and community by becoming a Quaker and a noted abolitionist. Coming from a slave-holding family, she was the perfect spokesperson--once she overcame a stammer that she had had since childhood. She was also one of the first to speak in favor of women's rights. Her younger sister Angelina also became a renowned proponent of these causes.
The story is told in alternating chapters by Sarah and Handful, a slave she was given as a present on her 11th birthday and with whom the author imagines her forging a friendship. Both young women face struggles, Sarah to conform to social expectations that go against her core values, and Handful to survive the brutal realities of slavery.
At times predictable and also a bit longer than it needed to be, 'The Invention of Wings' is nevertheless an engaging read, particularly because of the unique and realistic voices Kidd creates for her two protagonists and the parallel events in their lives. The two readers are excellent.
"Not Trevor's Best"
While I did not appreciate this collection quite as much as I have others by Trevor, his usual skill in storytelling and style prevail. The twelve stories here are, if not exactly sad, wistful or regretful. Nearly all involve characters who have experienced the death of a loved one, the death of a relationship, or some other form of longing or loss, and the thin Irish melancholy pervades them all. Trevor is best writing about the 1960s and '70s, and the contemporary stories seem a bit lacking in truth. But, as always, Trevor is well worth the time. The various readers here are all quite good, however.
"Dickens the Hypocrite"
I have to begin by saying that I am not a Dickens fan, and as I read this book, I began to like him even less. Tomalin focuses on Dickens's relationship with the Ternan family, in particular his presumed affair with the youngest daughter, Ellen, best known as Nelly. She was only 18 at the time their affair began, Dickens 45. The Ternans were an acting family, and Dickens used his prestige first to persuade Mrs. Ternan and the girls to perform in his play 'The Frozen Deep,' then to secure various roles for her with his theatrical friends. Before long, he abandoned his wife (the mother of his 10 children), spreading rumors about her mental health and the ingratitude of her family members for all his assistance. (Wikipedia notes, "Matters came to a head in 1858 when Catherine Dickens opened a packet delivered by a London jeweller which contained a gold bracelet meant for Ternan with a note written by her husband.") Dickens began to lead a double life, leasing and purchasing a series of homes for Nelly, her sisters and her widowed mother--homes deliberately located further and further from the public eye. After all, the man whose works were supposed to be the moral compass of England couldn't be caught with a mistress! His financial and personal arrangements were handled through coded letters to friends who acted as go-betweens, including Wilkie Collins. Nelly was kept such a deep, dark secret that her identity was even hidden when she suffered a serious injury in a train derailment while traveling with Dickens. Tomalin posits that she had at least one, and perhaps two, pregnancies by Dickens but lost both babies shortly after birth. Later in life, long after Dickens's death, Nelly supposedly confessed the affair to her pastor, saying that she greatly regretted it and loathed Dickens in those last years but could not, financially, break away.
The last section of the book addresses Nelly's life post-Dickens and the history of both the coverup and revelation of the affair.
I felt sorry for both Catherine, Dickens's long-suffering wife, and for Nelly, a young woman pressured by poverty and impressed by celebrity. As for Dickens, what a pompous, self-righteous hypocrite!
"Last, and Probably Least"
This third book in Gardam's Old Filth trilogy is fun, yet not quite as good as the first two installments. Edward and Betty Feathers and Terry Veneering have passed on, and the story continues with the lesser characters in the series, most prominently Fiscal Smith and Dulcie, widow of Pastry Willie, the judge who was Betty's godfather. Much of the novel is flashback telling Terry Veneering's past as the son of an impoverished mother and an Odessan circus performer who ends up making it good. Recommended for fans of this series.
The biggest problem I had was the change in reader. Graeme Malcom, who read the first two installments, was perfect. Roger Watson makes the characters--especially the females--sound like caricatures.
"Betty's Point of View"
Another lovely installment in the Old Filth trilogy, this one told from the point of view of Betty Macintosh Feathers, Old Filth's wife. Like Edward Feathers, Betty was raised in the far eastern parts of the British commonwealth, and she, too, had lost her parents at a young age. She understands his loneliness and the pleas that comes with his proposal: "Don't ever leave me." Yet almost as soon as she accepts, Betty has regrets--particularly when she meets Eddie's arch rival, Terry Veneering. But a promise is a promise . . .
This is the same story we heard in Old Filth, at least from the time that Betty meets Edward Feathers, but here we get her perspective. It's quite intriguing to see how Eddie's interpretation of events differs from the reality that Betty reveals, and to learn of secrets that apparently were never revealed. Like so many women of her day, Betty focused on fulfilling her wifely duties and appeared to lead a rather dull life focused on her tulips, dinner parties, and her husband's career. Gardam lets us see, however, that she has a vibrant inner life, full of secret memories, dreams, and loves. Her relationship with Harry, the Veneerings' young son, is one such secret. Unable to bear children, Betty becomes attached to Harry, a charming and clever boy whom Filth later says is "the only one she ever really loved."
The Man in the Wooden Hat serves as a reminder that even ordinary lives can be extraordinary.
I'm looking forward to the last book in the Old Filth series and will be seeking out more novels by Jane Gardam, whose writing is beautiful, original, amusing, and moving. And Graeme Malcolm is the perfect reader. (I just started the third book and am very disappointed in the new reader.)

A couple of weekends ago I was driving to Ft. Wayne, Ind., to participate in a barbershop competition. (No, I don't cut hair. I sing with the Louisville Thoroughbreds.) As I was sailing down Interstate 69, I saw a sign for Fairmount.
For some reason, the town jumped out at me. But why? Ah, yes, it dawned on me: James Dean grew up in Fairmount, and he was buried there.
I don't think I have ever watched a full movie staring James Dean, but what the heck? The dude is a cultural icon. I was a couple of hours ahead of schedule, and I like exploring things I come across as I travel. So I visited Fairmount, Ind.
What a cute, quaint town. After visiting the museum, I was given directions to the graveyard and the farm where he grew up. Once I located his gravestone, I was shocked by the number of fresh flowers and tokens of love for a kid - he was only 24 when he died - who passed away more than 50 years ago.
Bottles of beer, coins, fresh flowers and love letters. One letter was tucked under a rock, ready to fall off of the gravestone. I replaced it but felt the urge to read it. I opened it, and the letter started off with the following: "Jimmy, it's been over 50 years since you have been gone, and I still miss you every day."
The letter was handwritten and two full pages. After reading the first sentence, I immediately folded it up and replaced it securely under the rock. This letter was not meant for me. I felt like I had just spied on a private moment, fleetingly, but wrongly.
I then looked at the beer bottles and packs of cigarettes surrounding the stone, and it reminded me that these icons were in many ways normal people, just like you and me. They had passions, likes, dislikes, favorite dishes, desserts they couldn't resist, holiday traditions - things that help make each of us who we are.

The state of Mississippi is home to two of the SEC's top three returning quarterbacks.
Welcome to Raycom News Network's live blog from SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL.
The following column is satire and for entertainment purposes only.
(RNN) - Well, we're coming down the home stretch of the regular college football season and about four months away from pretending to crown a national champion. Even though a large number of teams are taking the weekend off, The Line King doesn't have that luxury, he still has to perform…plus, we have the Breeder's Cup to enjoy – something that dishes out crowns based on head-to-head competition.
Think and compare thoroughbred racing with college football. The Sport of Kings versus The Sport of Computer Generated National Champions, where every team with a 6-6 record is rewarded with a trip to Shreveport, Montgomery or Bakersfield.
Back in the day, 6-6 would get you fired. Today, it gets you a five-year extension, a container's worth of apparel from Brand "X" and a steak dinner over at the Western Wagon.
If thoroughbred racing relied on computers, dunderhead media "experts" or the elite establishment, we would never have had some of the greatest stories in American sports history.
The greatest horse of them all, Secretariat was "won" by his owner Penny Chenery, because she lost a coin flip to determine who got which new foal from Bold Ruler. Seems the so-called expert who won the coin toss, old crusty pants Ogden Phipps thought the other horse was a far greater breed.
What was that horse's name again? You want to see total domination on the field? Forget Bammer rolling over a media-selected opponent in this year's BCS game, go watch Secretariat in the 1972 Belmont Stakes – now that's earning a title.
And The Line King would be remiss if he didn't mention 2009 Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird. He couldn't possibly win anything. He was a gelding, was driven up from some rinky-dink track in New Mexico in a trailer hitched to a pick-up truck by his trainer who wears old boots and a cowboy hat. Chip Woolly drove more than 1,200 miles in just under 21 hours to enter his horse in the most important race on Earth.
The "experts" scoffed.
"Let's put his odds at 50-1; we will set the odds on the sure winner Dunkirk at 4-1 and pat ourselves on the back while we down gallons of mint juleps."
The next day those same experts were trying to convince Woolly to ship his horse to the Preakness in a more sophisticated manner. Woolly would have none of it as he led the Kentucky Derby winner up the ramp into his trailer.
Just imagine if they started rewarding the seventh-place finisher of the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont with trips to two-horse races in one-horse towns. It would make a mockery of the Triple Crown.
Then why is the team that finishes in seventh place in Conference USA rewarded with anything – other than a swift kick in the britches? I'll tell you why – it's a way to keep the masses quiet and the powers that be fat-and-happy.
The Line King remembers the day when only one Big Ten team went to the Rose Bowl. Everyone else stayed at home – and that meant usually Michigan or Ohio State would be spending their nine-win season at home during the holidays.
Who knows, maybe one day people will wake up to the insanity of rewarding mediocrity. As for me, The Line King will be enjoying watching at least one sport this weekend that recognizes the winner based on merit. And please don't tell me Baylor can't beat Bammer just because of what a computer program designed by someone who probably hasn't showered this week spits out.
Tennessee @ Missouri -10: No Walking Horse has ever won the Kentucky Derby or any other race that I am aware of. Missouri threw a shoe last weekend, but remains in the $EC East lead headed down the home stretch.
Auburn -10 @ Arkansas: The Arkansas faithful sure wish they had gone with bloodlines last year and taken one of their own. So far, their selection looks like a mule.
New Mexico State @ Louisiana-Lafayette -27: Mine That Bird couldn't even help NMSU - Although they might ride in a trailer to their away games.
Oklahoma State @ Texas Tech -2½: The Red Raiders have a horse that runs onto the field before, during and after the game. It might actually even sleep there, too.
Tulane +3 @ Florida Atlantic Ocean: Evidently, ex-FAOU Head Coach Carl Pelini misunderstood when they said that Hialeah had re-opened and was doing a promotion this week to celebrate.
East Carolina -20 @ Florida International Airport: Pirates don't ride horses, but not even the new slots at Gulfstream Park will be able to help FIAU.
Mississippi State @ SoCar -12.5: There is no horse analogy here, just that Carolina plays their home games in the "Cock Pit".
30th Breeder's Cup Classic: 1. Palace Malice 2. Mucho Macho Man 3. Will Take Charge – Trainer Todd Pletcher is a Santa Anita homer. I am sure he will wear a silly-looking hat and spout off how great Santa Anita is. He also wins a lot here. At some point Mucho Macho Man has to come home for me and Will Take Charge has a little Unbridled in him and you can never go against Unbridled – even though he has been dead for more than 10 years.
