|Los Gatos, CA
|Idaho State
|Years played
|2004, 4th round, 30th pick by Chiefs
Moss returning? If so, Belichick is genius
I have never been much of a conspiracy theorist. It's not my style. But what would happen if Randy Moss came back to the Patriots now that the Vikings appear ready to release him?
Rice back on fantasy radar after Moss release
With Randy Moss' time in Minnesota shockingly coming to an end after just four games, according to some reports, WR Sidney Rice all of a sudden has a chance to make a serious fantasy impact down the stretch.
Report: Vikings release Randy Moss
Only four weeks after trading for the All-Pro wide receiver, the Vikings have chosen to let go of WR Randy Moss, according to the NFL Network.
Moss unhappy already? It's no Halloween prank
Randy Moss is unhappy with the media, but more importantly, he appears unhappy with his situation in Minnesota. Losing to the Patriots, the team that traded him, was a good reminder.
Vikings' players of the week: Week Eight
The Vikings' offensive, defensive and special-teams players of the week in their 28-18 loss to the Patriots in Week Eight.
Pats knock out Favre, hand Vikings their fifth loss
Tom Brady connected with Brandon Tate for a 65-yard touchdown on a broken play to give New England a 28-18 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, knocking Favre out of the game in the process.
Favre leaves game after hit to chin
Vikings QB Brett Favre was carted off the field with a facial laceration. His return is questionable.
Vikings-Patriots prediction
PFW's Eric Edholm thinks the Patriots will dominate the Vikings on Sunday — and knock Brett Favre out of the game.
Patriots-Vikings prediction
Brett Favre's ankle has taken attention away from Randy Moss' return to New England in this highly anticipated matchup. PFW associate editor Kevin Fishbain believes the well-rounded, confident Patriots have the advantage.
Vikings' Greenway off to terrific start
Although the statistics may not show it, the Vikings' defense has played well, particularly LB Chad Greenway, who's been playing like a Pro Bowler.
Don't rule out Rice's return to Vikings this season
Although he's still a few weeks away from getting on the practice field, Vikings WR Sidney Rice may yet be able to return to game action this season, according to NFC North Whispers.
Patriots-Vikings matchup of the day: Saturday
Here is a matchup to watch in the Week Seven game between the Patriots and Vikings.
Report: Favre expects to start Sunday
Vikings QB Brett Favre expects to start in Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Five questions with Vikings LB Chad Greenway
This week, PFW spends a few minutes with Vikings LB Chad Greenway to talk about his excellent play, the vibe in the locker room and digging out of the hole they are in.
Allen returned to practice for the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday.||||||| The Minnesota Vikings defensive end had missed the previous practices because of an illness.
Allen's back has caused him some discomfort over the last week. He also confirmed after last Sunday's game he's been playing with a torn labrum in one of his shoulders but downplayed any negative effect that has had on his performance.||||||| Allen was on the field with the team at the end of Wednesday's practice, but he didn't participate. Frazier said the injury is not to the extent it would keep him out of this week's game, however.
Allen has been fined $21,000 for a hit on Chicago Bears guard Lance Louis on Sunday.||||||| A person with knowledge of the fine tells The Associated Press that it was levied Wednesday, three days after he knocked Louis out for the season with a hit that injured Louis' left knee. The person requested anonymity because the league has not announced the fine.
The Minnesota Vikings held Allen and Adrian Peterson out of practice Thursday as a precaution because of minor injuries, but expect to have both available against Arizona on Sunday.||||||| Allen is bothered by a groin injury. He is still looking for his first multi-sack game of the season after falling half a sack short of the single-season record last season.
Allen had 3 1/2 sacks in Sunday's 17-13 loss to Chicago.||||||| Allen finished the season with 22 sacks, behind Michael Strahan's mark of 22 1/2 for the New York Giants in 2001.

Last month in this StoryStream, we posted images of the new Atlanta Braves alternate jersey that had been leaked by SportsLogos.net.
Monday, the Braves officially announced the jerseys, and photos are posted at our Braves site, Talking Chop, modeled by Chipper Jones, Brian McCann and Dan Uggla. Talking Chop has a few details:
They will apparently wear this on the weekends, shifting the red uni to Fridays.
The "red uni" referred to is the one modeled by Chipper Jones in this photo, and has generally been worn on Sundays by the Braves in recent years.
The Braves website has more on the jersey:
Along with all Saturday and Sunday home games, the new alternate uniform could be worn on some special occasions.
This is the club's first home uniform change since it introduced alternate red jerseys before the start of the 2005 season. The plan is to continue wearing the red jersey for all Friday night games in Atlanta. But the Braves will likely stick with their traditional white uniforms when they host the Brewers for their home opener on Friday, April 13.
For more on the Braves and their new alt uniforms, please visit SB Nation Atlanta.

Roads along the cycling route will be open to traffic. Major intersections will be monitored by law enforcement from the Richmond County Sheriff's Office, Aiken County Sheriff's Office, Jackson Police Department, and New Ellenton Police Department. Side streets will be monitored by volunteer course marshals from Fort Gordon.
Run Course: Race organizers expect the leaders to begin the run at approximately 10 a.m. According to the race cut-off time, runners must be off the course by 5:45 p.m. On Greene and Reynolds Streets, one lane of traffic along the route will be designated for the race, with cones marking the circuit.

'Gangnam Style' singer apologizes for old anti-American performances; will perform at special D.C. Christmas concert
Updated On: Mar 19 2014 01:30:34 PM CDT
He has the most viewed video on YouTube ever and has created a dance sensation with his "Gangnam Style" video.
Now singer Psy is starting to feel the beginnings of a backlash after reports surfaced that he took part in two anti-American concerts 10 years ago in his native South Korea.
Rolling Stone, citing South Korean reports, says 2002 Psy smashed a model of a U.S. tank into the stage at a concert in protest of a tragic incident that occured in June of that year, when a U.S. military vehicle ran over two 14-year-old Korean girls. The driver of the vehicle was later acquitted, leading to months of protests against the American government. Two years later, Psy joined other artists onstage at a protest concert to perform the song "Dear America," written by the South Korean metal band N.E.X.T.. Psy sang along to the lyrics, "Kill those Yankees who have been torturing Iraqi captives/Kill those Yankees who ordered them to torture/Kill their daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law, and fathers/Kill them slowly and painfully."
"As a proud South Korean who was educated in the United States and lived there for a very significant part of my life, I understand the sacrifices American servicemen and women have made to protect freedom and democracy in my country and around the world," said Psy in a statement. "The song – from eight years ago – was part of a deeply emotional reaction to the war in Iraq and the killing of two innocent Korean civilians that was part of the overall antiwar sentiment shared by others around the world at that time. While I'm grateful for the freedom to express one's self I've learned there are limits to what language is appropriate and I'm deeply sorry for how these lyrics could be interpreted. I will forever be sorry for any pain I have caused anyone by those words."
The statement continues, "I have been honored to perform in front of American soldiers in recent months – including an appearance on the Jay Leno show specifically for them – and I hope they and all Americans can accept my apology. While it's important we express our opinions, I deeply regret the inflammatory and inappropriate language I used to do so. In my music I try to give people a release, a reason to smile. I have learned that though music, our universal language we can all come together as a culture of humanity and I hope that you will accept my apology."
An online petition has been started to have his appearance at this Sunday's Christmas in Washington event cancelled. Organizers say he will still perform. The event will feature President Obama and his family.

UPDATE: Nevada Highway Patrol reports at least one person has died in this morning's single vehicle rollover accident on Highway 50 and East Nye Lane in Carson City.
A Carson City firefighters have responded to an accident near the intersection of Highway 50 East and Nye Lane, where a small white SUV hit a drainage ditch and flipped several times.
The Carson City Sheriff's Office held a second pedestrian crosswalk operation Friday with 43 citations issued, the majority being for failing to stop for a pedestrian in a crosswalk, said Sgt. Scott McDaniel.
Although the number of citations issued was down from a similar operation held earlier this month in which 50 motorists were cited, the amount of stops shows motorists still need to do more as drivers to prevent pedestrian accidents involving vehicles, said McDaniel.
The operation was held on north Carson Street at Bath Street and then at Telegraph and Carson Street.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Great school with high expectations and caring teachers.
I had two sons attend Fort Gibson from kindergarden to the 6th and 8th grades, respectively. Both my sons had undiagnosed learning disabilities that the teachers, counselors and administration overlooked. I was extremely disappointed that they simply passed my children on to the next grade without acknowledging that something could be wrong. I pulled my children out of the school and moved them to the Tulsa Public School System. What a difference! I never realized what an easy curriculum FGPS had. How is that going to prepare any child for the real world and/or post high school education? If you want an easy curriculum where your child will be passed regardless of actual knowledge, then this might be the school for you. But if you want your child to achieve REAL excellence, don't go here.
I have had 2 kids already finished school here and 3 enrolled at the present time . The scool has been just great with my kids . I have one foster child in special ed and he has made a wonderful turn around since puttin him there. All the people in the school building has just been great with him. To me there is no better school in Oklahoma to sent your kids to.

Today, I will be moving on to Ireland. After Ireland, I will have completed a team from each group. I know I haven't done any of the teams with any real chance of winning this thing, but don't fear. They will come soon enough. I also know that I am a big late on this one. No matter how early I start typing and researching these things, I can't seem to get it done on time. I'll try and make it up tonight.
23-man Republic of Ireland Euro 2012 Squad:
Goalkeepers: Shay Given (Aston Villa), Keiren Westwood (Sunderland), David Forde (Millwall).
Defenders: John O'Shea (Sunderland), Richard Dunne (Aston Villa), Sean St Ledger (Leicester City), Stephen Ward (Wolves), Kevin Foley (Wolves), Stephen Kelly (Fulham), Darren O'Dea (Celtic).
Midfielders: Keith Andrews (West Brom), Glenn Whelan (Stoke), Darron Gibson (Everton), Damien Duff (Fulham), Aiden McGeady (S Moscow), Stephen Hunt (Wolves), Keith Fahey (Birmingham), James McClean (Sunderland).
Forwards: Robbie Keane (LA Galaxy), Kevin Doyle (Wolves), Shane Long, Simon Cox (both West Brom), Jonathan Walters (Stoke).
Group C
In a certain light, it's clear that Ireland lacks luck. They have only qualified twice for the Euros, this year and once in 1988. They have made it to the World Cup only three times, the last time in 2002. Ireland were extremely close to qualifying for South Africa 2010, however, they were (unfairly) denied by a few French handballs. However, in a different, light, the Irish certainly have had their luck. They were the first non-british team to beat England on English soil. When you account for the population and the size of the economy, Ireland are probably better than they should be. (See Soccernomics, chapter Tom Thumb for elaboration.)
To qualify for the Euros, Ireland had to get through a group B with Russia, Armenia, Slovakia, Macedonia and Andorra. It really came down for a race to first between Ireland and Russia, with Russia winning at 23 points, with Ireland a near second at 21 points. This left Ireland to qualify for the Euros through a two league qualifier. Ireland got extremely lucky and landed Estonia in their playoff match. They thrashed them, 5-1 aggregate with a 4-0 first leg and a 1-1 second leg that was effectively meaningless.
The Team
After a good bit of digging, I was able to find the lineups used during the playoffs and the qualifiers. Both times, it appears that Ireland played a 4-4-2. Granted, those matches were against the likes of Estonia and Armenia, but I think it's fair to expect that during the Euros. The current coach is Giovanni Trapattoni an Italian manager who has been with the Irish since 2008. Trapattoni has quite the resume, boasting the likes of Italy, both Milans, Juventus, Munich, and Stuttgart after 30 years in coaching. Ireland are ranked 18 in the World, 13 in Europe. This, of course, is crazy. The US is almost definitely better than Ireland, but is ranked a full 11 places behind (my proof is the fact that the US won their group during the 2010 World Cup while Ireland didn't even qualify).
Expect Ireland to where either their green home kits or their white and green away ones. The team has been nicknamed "The Boys in Green". How original.
Players of Mention
Arsenal Men
Key Players
Shay Given
I'm going to be frank here. I don't think Ireland stand most any chance. If Ireland get anywhere, it will likely be largely because of this man. Given(36) plays for Aston Villa. He joined the team this past season after leaving Manchester City. In Aston Villa, Given was the automatic first choice. However, he suffered a major injury that left the keeping in the capable hands of American Brad Guzan. Given eventually regained the number one keeping spot and closed out the season.
How can you be named Ireland and not be Irish? Ireland could really use him.
Robbie Keane
Keane is the captain of Ireland with 115 caps and 53 goals. That might be more impressive if Ireland played teams better than Estonia. Keane is 31 and plays with the LA Galaxy who acquired him last summer. He is the 11 top scorer in the Premier League with 126 goals, mostly with Tottenham, Recently, he went on loan to Aston Villa, where he scored 3 goals in 6 appearances. Last fall, he gave the assist for the goal that won MLS Cup (touted as the most expensive goal because it came through a play by the team's 3 Designated Players: Keane, Beckham, and Donovan). This season, Keane has been largely awful. His lack of sharpness in front of goal and throughout the pitch helped in allowing LA to be knocked out of the CONCACAF Champion's League by Toronto FC over 2 legs, a team that has started their season by losing all 9 games in a row. Currently, LA are at the bottom of the Western Conference with 11 points, good for 17th overall (19 teams). Keane will have to be better if Ireland want to succeed. Of interest, the name Keane is common for Irish athletes. One of the most well remembered Irish players ever was named Roy Keane.
Chances in Euro 2012
Ireland are one of those teams that normally stand very little chance in the Euros. That said, they have had some luck up until this point- they got Estonia in playoffs and their group is not the hardest. This group should be fairly simple with Spain and Italy cruising into the next round. But if one of the teams collapses, it's a fight between Croatia and Ireland. Ireland will need a good bit more luck and some strong defending, but they do have a shot at robbing some points from Italy and Spain. Spain famously lost in their opening round of the 2010 World Cup to Switzerland, while Italy fell to the US in a recent friendly. However, Croatia are another worry for the boys in green. The Croats are a surprisingly strong side, coming in at number 8 in the world. If Ireland can get through the group, they can expect to find either France or England. The other two choices of Ukraine and Sweden are more on their level and might be a fairer fight.
Matches to watch
I will say that I don't really think any of Ireland's group matches will be particularly interesting. If Ireland can get through the group and play France, then we have an interesting proposition.
Ireland vs. Croatia
This match will probably dictate who finishes with the better chance at getting second should one of the big teams stumble, but otherwise, this first round match of the group stage is a third place decider.
I say the luck runs out here. Ireland go home after being burned out by some quality sides. To be honest, if group B wasn't so jam packed, this would be the group of death. Ireland, you're going home.

39-year-old Sherice Torres found out she carried the BRCA gene mutation three years ago. "My mother is a three time cancer survivor and her first incident was in her early 30s so we knew I was at high risk at developing breast cancer myself."
The average woman has a 12% risk of developing breast cancer at some point in their lives. Women who inherit the breast cancer gene mutation have a more than a 60% increased risk for the disease. Like Angelina Jolie, Torres chose to have a double mastectomy to lower her cancer risk. The mother of two also had her ovaries taken out. "I did this for myself. I did it for my family. I did it so my children would have a mother when they grew up."
Doctors recommend the BRCA gene test for people who have a strong personal or family history of breast cancer. The blood test can run in the thousands of dollars. Women who don't want surgery have the option of undergoing aggressive screening. But Lenox Hill's Dr. Stephanie Bernik says surgery gives patients the best chance to lower their cancer risk. "The decision for some women is extremely easier, other women the decision is very difficult."
Torres waited ten years before having the test done. "I didn't want to know and I think waiting as long as I did is the biggest mistake I made."
She doesn't want other at risk women to put it off like she did.

A fascinating discussion on tax avoidance and, in particular, prospects for a general anti-avoidance rule (GAAR), took place on last week's Unreliable Evidence on Radio 4. You can listen to it in full by clicking here.
The show featured Graham Aaronson QC, chairman of the Government's panel studying how a GAAR could be framed, and two of his panel members, Lord Hoffman and Professor Judith Freedman, plus Steve Edge of Slaughter and May. Clive Anderson as usual presided over the discussion.
The panel explored a number of topical issues ranging from residence and non-doms to extra-territorial business taxation and relief on investment in films. There was a strong focus on the importance of the rule of law in determining tax obligations, from Lord Hoffman in particular.
Clive Anderson observed that a window tax was a historic target for tax avoidance when a tax designed to enable the Government to tax according to the size of the house was avoided by people bricking up their windows.
Judith Freedman noted the existing targeted anti-avoidance provisions, of which there are more than 300.
Graham Aaronson agreed with Clive Anderson's suggestion that one intention of a GAAR would be "releasing a lot of people, at the moment engaged in devising schemes, and they could do other work... devising new products or new ways of selling them, or adding to the sum of human wealth in different ways".
Steve Edge said that, if you have a GAAR, "an awful lot depends on the good sense of the people who apply it, and it shouldn't be used simply to remedy defects in other legislation".
Judith Freedman said a GAAR would be a "useful tool" but also recommended moving towards more principles-based legislation and getting more expert tax advice for Parliament and Government.
Lord Hoffman suggested there is a lack of trust at the Revenue about what Judges might do.
Graham Aaronson concluded by taking a comment of Steve Edge that a GAAR could be seen as a 'nuclear weapon' and saying "that is not any GAAR which our committee would be interested in". But, continuing on the theme, he added:
"What we are interested in is seeing if we can develop an anti-missile system with the missiles being these egregious tax schemes or wholly artificial... We are seeing whether it's possible to develop something like that, which could then be effective, it would also be a deterrent, people won't bother to fire the missiles, and that's really what we want to stop. And once you stop people firing the missiles then the draftsmen can get on with the business of drafting legislation without thinking of all sorts of exploitation arrangements that people might enter into. We could end up with a much simpler and better expressed tax code. That's the objective - whether it's achievable I don't know. We have several months of work before we can come to a decision on that."
The GAAR study group is due to report by the end of October this year.
The CIOT's comments on a GAAR can be read here.

Researching the job and commercial awareness
Being commercially aware is incredibly important if you want to be successful in securing a good graduate level job.
We run a regular skills session on Commercial Awareness, which you can search for in My Career Zone.
Watch our video on commercial awareness:
Researching the job
When you've found a job or internship to apply for, it's essential that you do your research. This is an area that you may be tempted to rush but lack of background knowledge is one of the main reasons why recruiters will reject an application.
- Research the job. What is involved? Is it right for me? Am I right for it? Talk to contacts in your chosen area or try to track down an alumnus willing to help using The Exepert Scheme. Also don't forget that you may have family or friends in that profession who may be able to give you an insight into the area you are interested in.
- Research the company. You will find most up-to-date information on the company website. Try to meet Employers on campus, at careers fairs or see if they are holding any events. Companies will be looking for you to demonstrate knowledge of what the company does as a whole and your reasons for choosing them over their competitors. It is important therefore to really understand the company and its culture as much as possible as this also helps you decide if it is the right environment for you.
- Research the sector. This is where you can develop your commercial awareness. What challenges might the sector be facing at present? Who has been in the news recently? Are there any recent trends or product developments that you should know about? Who is taking over whom? Who are the competitors?
Having done your research you will be in a better position to make a well informed application and sell your skills and qualities to match the job. The application stage is the biggest hurdle in the whole recruitment process and it is important to get it right. Recruiters are able to spot blanket applications a mile away so don't be tempted to hope that submitting lots of generic applications will give you more chance of being successful. The more time and effort you put in to an application the better it is likely to be.
How to apply
Job advertisements will state how they want you to apply – most large organisations now use an online application process and you will need just as much time and care to complete this as you will for a paper version.
Smaller companies may use application forms or ask for a CV and covering letter. In some sectors you will rarely see a job advertisement but there could well be openings – and these will go to those who are proactive and send a speculative CV and letter. One third of graduate vacancies are not advertised publicly so be proactive.
Remember to check the deadline for submitting application forms as you do not want to spend hours completing a form only to find out that you have missed the deadline. Some applications close as early as November/December whilst others can be ongoing until the vacancies are filled.

There's a couple things to note about the refs in the South Carolina-Tennessee game. First, they're all mic'd up on a channel with each other, meaning they don't necessarily have to huddle around to discuss plays. Heck, they could have a running conversation during live-action if they're good multi-taskers.*
*This is not encouraged. Refs have a hard enough time as it is.
I bring this up because I really want to know what the hit above sounded like
Being a ref is dangerous business, but I kind of like how the safety tries to avoid one hit and ends up taking out the ref. Also note that he slides on his chest. Have you ever done this? You know, expecting to slide headfirst, only to have your body skid to a half. The feet go up over the head and the result is kind of a scorpion thing.
Also props to No. 19 for the evasive maneuver. Head on a swivel out there.

Some may remember a few yrs back a problem I was having with my H fouling plugs after a rebuild. Well I may know why in a round about way. Recently I was trying to diagnose a chainsaw problem using my compression tester (2 cycles are very compression sensitive). I wasn't getting a very good reading and it was suggested my gauge might be off. So Monday I had an opportunity to check my gauge against another and found it to to be reading 40lbs low. WOW!! That means the reading I was getting on the H of 180lbs was really 220lbs. Man thats alot of compression and explains all the fouled plugs. Actually it just might explain all kinds of issues I was having. Rough idle, starter failure,wrist pin failure, and fouled plugs to the point it will only run on racing fuel or AvGas. We had milled the head and reshaped the chamber to except the high toppers leaving about 25thousands clearance. Yep it ran good and strong but all the fuss over why it was fouling plugs so bad on pump gas may now be explained. It just had too much pressure!
Its still apart from the wrist pin episode and I remembered I had the head redone and the guy said he took a little more off it again. Oh no hope I can still use it as I've got a pile into that head now. More than I originally paid for the tractor.

Glenwood senior Chad Silvani said it was like a dream.
One moment, his Gator baseball team was trailing Monroe Academy by four runs in the bottom of the seventh inning, the next it was celebrating as the winning run crossed the plate in the bottom of the eighth.
What happened in between was nothing short of miraculous.
Silvani drilled an 0-1 curveball over the right-center field fence for a grand slam in the bottom of the seventh inning to tie the game after the Gators allowed four runs in the top half of the inning.
Then, the senior pitched a 1-2-3 eighth inning of relief and returned to the plate with the bases loaded in the bottom half, this time taking a walk to give Glenwood a 7-6 series-clinching victory.
Youll have to give me a minute, I still feel like Im dreaming, an elated Silvani said after the game. All I did was try to go up there and see some pitches, get a runner in or get on base. I felt like I was in a dream when that happened, man. What a moment to live for.
All total, Silvani had five RBIs in the final two innings and earned the improbable victory on the mound.
The victory sends Glenwood to the AISA Class 3A state championship series, where it will face the winner of Tuscaloosa Academy and Pike Liberal on Wednesday at Paterson Field in Montgomery, Ala. The Gators last played for and won a state championship in 2011.
It just shows how much hard work weve put in, Silvani said. All the blood, sweat and tears. We dont care who we play next. We just want to get that W and get a championship.
If they do, the Gators owe a lot to his heroics.
After a 13-inning affair in Game 2 on Thursday, the two teams appeared headed for a 2-2 stalemate again in the rubber match. That was until the Monroe bats came to life in the top of the seventh.
A hit batter, a bunt single and a wild pitch put runners at second and third with one out and Lane Powell, who had the game-winning hit in the 13th in Game 2, at the plate. Powell came through again with an RBI single to give the Volunteers a 3-2 lead. Starting pitcher Jake McKenzie, who already had two doubles in the game, followed with a three-run home run to make it 6-2, for a moment appearing to clinch the victory for Monroe.
Fanning, however, let his team know in between innings that nothing was written in stone.
I told them you cant get four runs at one time, but its up to them to decide what kind of season they want, he said. It all came down to right there. I told them not to try to get it all back at once. Just do your job and pass the bat to the next guy. Dont make the last out.
Dylan Denny led off the inning with a walk. He moved to second on a single by Brandon Moseley and to third on a wild pitch. Lawson Humphries walked to load the bases, and Silvani came to the plate having struck out, flown out and popped out in his first three at-bats.
On the second pitch he saw, he sent a curveball into the trees to tie the game. When he came back up in the eighth, again with the bases loaded, all he had to do was watch as four straight pitches missed the strike zone.
I didnt want to do too much, Silvani said. I just wanted to get that run home any way I could.
Fanning praised his senior for his patience and cool head under the pressure and emotion of the two at-bats and inning on the mound.
Chad has been in our program so long, hes been in those situations, Fanning said. If theres anybody you can trust, hes the guy. He had been struggling, but youve got to fight through it and he did. Thats what he hadnt been doing, the patience. He had been chasing, getting out in front of it. Today, he waited, got a pitch he could hit and he hit it.
And it gave both Silvani and Glenwood a moment theyd never forget.
Its just emotional, Fanning said. The kids work so hard. They put so much into it. To have it come down to that with a kid who has been in our program so long. Its a moment well all remember. Its Glenwood baseball history, and theres a lot of it.

Karma Yoga or "selfless service" is one of the Four Paths of Yoga. The act of offering our services for the benefit of others purifies the heart and takes us further along the path in our spiritual evolution. Egoism, jealousy, resistance, ideas of superiority, and all the kindred negative qualities vanish in the act of selfless service. You develop humility, pure love, sympathy, tolerance, and mercy. The sense of separateness is removed and selfishness eradicated. Karma Yoga develops a broad and liberal outlook on life and you begin to feel oneness and unity. On the path of Karma Yoga, you eventually obtain knowledge of the Self and realize One in all and All in one.
The ashram provides the perfect setting to put the teachings of Karma Yoga into practice. As part of a community of like-minded people and guided by the ashram's senior staff you can deepen your knowledge and practice of yoga, open your heart, learn useful skills, and enjoy the beautiful white-sand beach, as well as participate in ashram programs in your free time. You do not have to be a yoga teacher in order to join the ashram's Karma Yoga programs – all that is needed is willingness to serve and to lead a yogic life.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Karma yoga, or the practice of selfless service, is the best preparation for the practice of meditation. Without purifying the heart and the mind from selfishness and other negative emotions, success in meditation is not possible. The ashram is the best setting for such a practice. Serving others with joy, in the company of other spiritual practitioners, is a safe way to practice Karma Yoga and eventually attain success in meditation and enjoy the bliss of the spiritual life."

Got this to make change for laundry. Should tell you right there the quality. Anyways, tried it as its been sitting in my fridge. Just terrible. First sip, not the worst. A touch cidery almost. Fake apple sweet. In the back it lingers with rubbing alcohol. Very thin. Cardboard on second sip. Third sip tastes like corn moonshie. Cheap corn moonshine. Really, just awful. Sometimes you get luck finds, not here.

Poured from a 16 oz. can. Has a golden color with a 1 inch head. Smell is of malts and corn. Taste is not so good. Plastics, a lingering sweetness, alcohol, sour grapes. Feels light in the mouth and overall there is no reason to seek out this beer, poor quality even for this style.

Poured from a huge 24oz can purchased for $1.09 at my local beer purveyor. Clearly a Steel Reserve knock off, this beer is pale yellow with a slight, white fizzy head. Smells like piss and spent grain with a lot of alcohol in the nose. "Slow brewed for a smooth flavor" is proudly displayed on the can...yeah, right. This has to be one of the worst tasting brews out there, really bad "cheap vodka" fusel alcohol taste that burns going down. I got what I paid for with this one.

The best thing about this brew is its appearence. Light golden in colour, minor murkiness with a large bubbled, average carbonation.
The aroma and taste go well in hand due to the strong presence of corn in both categories.
Very smooth, very sweet and light bodied.

CAN you dig it? Another beer in a can for me to try. This started with a huge, rocky, white head that quickly reduced to wisps. The nose had a sharp, sour/sweet quality that was immediately off-putting. The color was a pretty golden-yellow with NE-quality clarity. The mouthfeel was thin with a sharp alcohol burn on the tongue, followed by a general dryness. The finish had a metallic tang. Woof! Man, I have had some rubbish in a can, but this one deserves its low numbers.

Had a 40oz of this for my halloween costume. Figure I might as well tick it. Initial pour into a sample glass from a bottle.
A: Golden pale yellow. No head no lace. Looks a lot like urine.
S: Sweet corn and hot booze. I smelled paint thinner better than this. The aroma scares me.
T: Vile stuff. Sweet corn and a vodka like bozziness. Every sip is a chore. I can't beleive I have to drink forty ounces of this stuff.
M: Thin watery body. Light carbonation.
D: Overall an epic fail of a beer. I mananged to hold my breath and get the entire bottle down. I will never drink thisn again thankfully.

I would like to start by saying that if these 16oz bullets were readily available by me, I would consume then on the regular.
I poured the contents into a pint glass. It was a medium yellow color and had almost no head. But this isn't where LN 7-11 shines.
Where this brew shines is with it's smell, taste, and mouth feel. Sure it's over 8% and your expecting garbage. However, this is far above all expectations. It almost smells like a cheap scotch (JW Red, Cutty Sark). The taste really isn't too far off from the smell, in a good way.
For a high octane brew, it flows down way too easily and makes me want another. Oh yeah, and the "feeling" acquired post consumption ain't bad either. I give this my utmost recommendation if attempting to enter the HG world.

Slightly yellow tinted water with a finger of head that lasts as long as an average sierra mist. All the wonderful aroma of corn and grain. Taste has lots of alcohol burn, chased by corn and grain. Mouthfeel is light and watery. This is as drinkable as natty light with a shot of vodka dropped in it.

The beer pours a very yellow golden in color. There is a short-lived head of white foam.
The aroma is corn, somewhat sweet, malt-o-meal breakfast cereal and a slight grassiness.
The taste is sweet, somewhat metallic and medicinal, with a sour tinge on the end. Bad, but not quite as bad as I expected (but close).
You could not make this beer cold enough. Aftertaste is terrible. It's bad out of the glass, it's bad out of the can. Leave this to the alcoholics. I never get beers like this, there are decent tasting cheap beers, so why are there so many awful tasting cheap beers?

Today must be my lucky day because I get to enjoy this nice shiny can of Lucky Number High Gravity Lager. Its foe in today's Malt Likkapalooza IX is Las Vegas's own Camo 900 High Gravity Lager. Shouldn't the beer named Lucky Number be brewed in Las Vegas rather than the one named Camo? Anyway, let's... get... ready... to... ruuummmble!
Bold gold that is slightly darker and slightly more orange than its competitor. The head is dingy white, featureless, unsticky, is now gone without a trace, and has left the glass completely untouched. Looks like Lucky Number has some major catching up to do.
It won't happen with the nose. There isn't much to go on (not a bad thing), possibly due to what looks to be a serious lack of bubbles. Vodka-soaked grain with a faint steely fruitiness gets it about right.
Lucky Number is ghastly beer in a style where most participants wear nasty as a badge of honor. Each mouthful starts out sort of okay, then descends into a flavor that can only be described as corn squeezins aged in an old shoe. The only thing keeping the score from the basement is that I can imagine worse. Not much worse, but worse.
The mouthfeel is more full and less carbonated than Camo's mouthfeel. I don't mind the first, but the second robs the beer of any sort of sensory interest at all.
Lacrosse City Brewery is responsible for one of the best malt liquors that I've ever had (City Slicker). Four O ain't too shabby either. Lucky Number, though, is bad, bad, bad, bad, bad. Malt Likkapalooza IX goes to Camo 900 High Gravity Lager in a rout.

Pours golden with almost no head. The aroma is bready and corny with a little fusel crap and some citrus that sneaks in. The flavor is corny and fruity with a bit of alcohol and some distinct orange. Weird, but not entirely awful.
I'm kind of glad I didn't have the 40.

Hi scarlet_213, download Nokia Ovi Suite and install it to your computer. Then follow the steps and upgrade your phone. If there is no update available for your phone, this could be due to a number of factors which are outlined in the following articles written by one of our senior users Grischnon: http://techyoddsandends.blogspot.com/ and http://linux.sgms-centre.com/nokiafaq/branded-phon
The latest firmware version for unbranded handsets for the 3120 Classic is 10.00. Let us know how it goes.
If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post!

I have recently updated the software to V 09.41 on my Nokia 3120 Classic.
There is an improvement in terms of better responsiveness and lesser instances of the phone hanging and restarting.
But more numerous are the problems. You can not set a timed profile. The phone hangs and you need to restart it. Also, the calendar does not alert you. (All the notes/reminders set for a date are activated at the end of the date, i.e 12 am of the next date).
I am surprised as to how the QA team at Nokia let these basic flaws pass through them.
Learned engineers of NOKIA, please take stock of this and pull up your socks.
18-12-2009 19:40
There is yet another problem with the update.
The name of the sender of a message is not displayed on the new message alert. I think it was showing earlier.
This way, the update has in essence brought in more number of problems.
The engineers to take stock again. Hope you would be able to give us a good update that does give this thread a decent burial.

My father has this phone and the problem he experienced was that MMS messages didn't work properly. When I sent him an MMS and it was a video MMS, he received it as a slideshow (like in PP) and when I sent him a picture MMS he received the picture modified. E.g. full colour picture he received as B&W or grainy or 16colour picture... Simply the phone behaved strangely. Tried and proved that it was a fault of the phone (not any external problem). The software version on his phone was either 6.x or 7.x. Updated to 9.95 using microUSB cable (wasn't even possible to update over the air) and PC (Nokia SWu) and everything is fine now. So very happy because now (also with other improvements after SWu) it is a fantastic phone!

I need help here, I tryied to update my phone (it's on the v 09.41) but every time it displays a dialog box that says "something went wrong" and i can't make it work, so i'm stuck in that version... what can I do?
08-03-2012 12:45
i dont have any problem updating my cellphone,., as long as you follow the steps and read the installation instruction carefully,., ,.,
step 1: before updating your cellphone be sure to remove or disable all the secrurity code and pin code.. the set up needs restart.. entering pincode and security code after restarting might disconnect your cellphone in the setup
Step 2: be sure to create a backup files,., you can find that in your cellphone settings.. its like system restore in windows 7 ..it wiil be automatically save into your memory card..

May 21, 2012 - Jennifer Brookens
I've never had a surprise party, but this past weekend came close.
I had a birthday yesterday (never mind which one. I've trained my husband to say '29 plus tax.' Of course, I need to start adding shipping and handling as well). As we got toward the big day, we were trying to decide what to do. My husband was not committing to anything, but kept saying how we should clean up the house. REALLY?! I don't know too many women who would take very kindly to, "It's your birthday, so get the house clean." Needless to say, the dark cloud with the lightning bolts was starting to settle over my birthday weekend.
My mom, sensing this mood, took me out to lunch instead.
When I got back, my husband got a phone call from his best buddy from South Dakota. And it was weird because he was talking normal, as in not doing stupid voices or throwing one-liners at each other like they usually do. He was almost guarded. That was my first clue.
So I started making a little more effort to pick up a little. But I didn't want to get my hopes up, just in case it was just a weird coincidence... or worse.
Finally at 6 p.m. my phone rang. I recognized the number. It was our friend. Somehow, I just knew.
And I was right. He and his girlfriend "just happened to be headed east of Sioux Falls, maybe about 100 miles or so..." I asked if they happened to pack overnight bags. Yep. And what did I want for my birthday tomorrow. I said a visit from them would be perfect.
When I hung up, I did the two-hour cleaning buzz (despite being told by our guests not to). I later learned they wanted to surprise me right at the door, but decided to call first just in case. Either way, it worked out well. Not exactly a surprise party, but close enough for me. And it did make for a Happy Birthday.

DUNLAP, Ill -- Following Tuesday's arrest of a Dunlap High School Teacher, the District Superintendent said any inappropriate situation is not taken lightly and student safety is his top priority.
This is the second incident in the District within seven months involving a teacher using recording devices inappropriately.
52 year old speech teacher Guy Sandy faces two felony counts of improper videotaping for allegedly using a cell phone to take photos of staff and students in the teacher's lounge restroom.
Superintendent Dr. Jay Marino wants to ensure parents and students that the staff is properly trained to handle these kinds of situations.
"All of our employees go through school code ethics training, including sexual misconduct, sexual harassment, mandatory reporting for child abuse, and these are now practices that are in place in Dunlap schools," said Dr. Marino.
Peoria County State's Attorney Jerry Brady said Sandy is facing felony charges. He said the investigation is ongoing, so exactly what level of felony is yet to be determined.
"The distinction is is that when there is videotaping of individuals under the age of 18, you elevate to a class 3 felony, and the sentencing is different obviously for a class 3 felony versus a class 4 felony," said Brady.
Sandy could face anywhere between one and five years in prison and probation. He is due back in court April 18th where he could be indicted by a grand jury before then.

A week after winning the Sumiton Christian Christmas Tournament against Meek, the Eagles are in the championship game of the Smith Lake Invitational at Meek High School.
For the second straight week, the Eagles face Meek with a title on the line. Today's game is set for 6:30 p.m. Sumiton Christian is looking for its second straight Smith Lake Invitational title. The Eagles defeated Meek 47-40 on Saturday.

With the win, Sumiton Christian matched last year's win total of 12.
"I'm pleased with the guys," Sumiton Christian coach Bill Griffin said. "We've won every game that we've had a chance to win going into the last three or four minutes. We've had a lot of close games. Once we get to 15 wins we will set our sights a little bit higher."
Against Winston County, the Eagles led 11-10 after the opening quarter, 23-14 at the half and 31-24 going into the third quarter.

A local program began a 'green' deconstruction project in Wyoming on Wednesday.
Ohio Moving Forward Demolition Grant program, led by the Hamilton County Land Reutilization Corporation (Landbank), began the demolition of a vacant home in the Wyoming neighborhood.
Project officials say they plan to clear the property from the inside out. Building Value LLC was hired by Landbank to take on the task.
"Through this process we call deconstruction, we can salvage much of the saleable features of the home, and recycle a lot of what we cannot sell while providing invaluable job training to area workers," said David Rich, director of Building Value.
Building Value is a non-profit demolition and construction company based in the Tri-State.
