text: San Francisco's Mission Street Food Mission Street Food: Transforming San Francisco's Food Scene by Susannah Chen 5/13/09 2 Reactions 0 Shares Print 0 0 0 0 0 While it's true that most restaurants have been hit hard by the economy, at least one eatery is flourishing. Meet Mission Street Food, an unusual dining concept that's taken flight in San Francisco's Mission district. Two nights a week, Anthony Myint, a former line cook at a well-known restaurant in town, sublets space from a hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant, invites a guest chef to cook, and serves up creative, experimental dishes sourced from well-known farms in the area. Without the overhead costs of a fine dining establishment, Mission Street Food is able to donate a portion of profits to food charities like Meals on Wheels or C.H.E.F.S. The concept also gives Myint and his fellow colleagues a chance to experiment with new dishes. Keep reading to scope out the Mission Street Food scene. Queuing Up What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 There are no reservations taken at Mission Street Food. Doors open promptly at 6 p.m., which means a steady line begins forming as early as 5:30. After Mission Street Food officially opens for the night, those eager to try out the night's food can put their names down to be telephoned once a seat opens up. 1 / 8 The Menu What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The menu is ever-changing, but usually consists of the guest chef's creations, as well as a few Mission Street Food standbys and several steamed dishes by Lung Shan. Although the food can be paid for by cash only, it's incredibly affordable: It's possible to order at least one of every item on the menu and wind up paying less than $40. 2 / 8 The Ambiance What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Mission Street Food diners who enter Lung Shan are greeted with fake floral arrangements, Christmas lights, and 1970s tiling. I've come to embrace the mismatched silverware, chipped dinner plates, and Chinese tea cups subbing as wine tumblers as part of the Mission Street Food experience. 3 / 8 King Trumpet Mushroom Flatbread What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Mission Street Food's signature homemade flatbread is topped with king trumpet mushrooms, triple fried potatoes, charred scallion sour cream, and lots of garlic. 4 / 8 Ham and Cheese What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Tonight, the guest chef was Christian Noto of Split Pea Seduction. Noto elevated the ham and cheese sandwich with a crusty slab of Acme bread, ham hock rillette, black forest ham, French triple creme cheese, and pickled red onion. 6 / 8 Vegetable Po' Boy What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Spring market vegetable po' boy topped with a serrano chile aioli and sweet pickles on a homemade bun. 6 / 8 Shrimp & Grits What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Louisiana white shrimp served with grits, homemade sweet Italian sausage and green onions. 7 / 8 Bacon Soup Dumplings What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Lung Shan's Shanghai soup dumplings always make an appearance on the menu. They're filled with ground pork, chives, smoky pork broth, and — yes — Benton's bacon. 8 / 8 0 0 0 0 0 Read More Anthony MyintLung ShanMission Street FoodSlideshowDining OutRestaurantsSan FranciscoCharity Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!

Hi guys, i'm new to this site, found it the other day and have been staying up way past my bed time reading all the information. I think I found a gold mine of information here.
I have a 50 cub, I think by the numbers and information I found here on this site.
I have had my cub for about 6 years now and have been able to get all the parts I have needed for it too keep it running, but have not been able to order a new carb for it through my dealer, only the rebuilt kit.
My problem is that the lower needle vave is stripped out and it seems that I can not order just the lower bowl part for the carb. All this years I have been able to set it as best I can then use a little JB weld on the out side to hold it in place. But it has come time to replace it are repair it the right way, would any one know how to repair this? , or would it be better to get a new carb?
Again this is a really excellent place for information, and it appears that every one on it is helpful to each other.
thanks for any information in advance

Cottonwood – Old Town
The Verde Valley includes about 714 square miles located in the geographic center of Arizona, about 100 miles north of the Phoenix metropolitan area. The Verde River runs through the valley from northwest to southeast and is augmented by flows from Sycamore Canyon, Oak Creek, Beaver Creek and West Clear Creek. The area is unsurpassed in its variety of physical beauty with the red rocks and Mogollon Rim to the north and east and the Black Hills and Mingus Mountain dominating the western and southern portions of the valley.
The City of Cottonwood is located adjacent to the Verde River at elevations ranging from 3,300 feet to 3,900 feet above sea level and experiences a mild climate which, together with its proximity to an abundance of natural amenities such as the Grand Canyon, Sedona, Dead Horse Ranch State Park, Tuzigoot National Monument and the historic mining communities of Clarkdale and Jerome, continues to attract steady growth and tourism.
As with other communities in the Verde Valley, the City shares a rich and lengthy history. The region has long been home to Native Americans, particularly the Sinaugua and later the Yavapai and Apache. The first Anglo settlers in the area farmed and provided goods for the soldiers at Camp Verde and for the miners in Jerome beginning in the late 1870′s. William Clark and Jimmy Douglas developed major smelters and the mining communities of Clarkdale (1912) and Clemenceau (1917), respectively. Clemenceau, located near the intersection of Willard Street and Mingus Avenue was a complete company town with thousands of residents, a school and other community facilities. Today, few people recognize the size and complexity of the original "Smelter City".
Old Town Cottonwood became a haven for those seeking to be free from the prejudice and regulation of nearby company towns. Main Street was created 1908 when Charles Stemmer and Alonzo Mason used a mule team to pull and drag through brush. The Mason Addition, Willard Addition, Hopkins Ranch No. 2 and other tracts were platted during the next decade coinciding with the development of Clemenceau on higher ground about one mile to the south.
The Clemenceau smelter closed on December 31, 1936 with a great loss of jobs and disruption to the area's economy. The Cottonwood Women's Club organized to feed those in need and raised money to build the Cottonwood Civic Center (1939) with labor provided through the Works Progress Administration. The copper industry continued its decline culminating with the closure of the Phelps Dodge operation in the 1950′s. Population plummeted in the region as the mining industry declined. Jerome's population declined from about 8,000 to nearly 0, while Clarkdale went from nearly 4,000 to several hundred.
The City of Cottonwood incorporated in 1960. During this period area roads were improved , particularly the Highway 89A "Bypass" and SR 260 to serve the needs of the Phoenix Cement Plant located in Clarkdale. This facility supplied the cement for the Glen Canyon Dam project near Page. During the early 1970′s about 4,500 lots were platted outside the Cottonwood City Limits by Ned Warren – the Queen Creek Land & Cattle Company. These lots, known as Verde Village, have limited infrastructure but have been built upon over time and few vacant parcels remain today. With road development and an increasingly large residential base, commercial development moved south from Old Town to SR89A intersections at Main Street and at SR260 during the 1970′s and 1980′s.
In 1990 the City constructed a wastewater treatment plant and collection system, the first in the Verde Valley. This plant was expanded in the 1990′s to treat 1.5 million gallons per day and allow discharge of reclaimed water into Del Monte Wash. The availability of a modern sanitary sewer system has assisted the City to attract and accommodate growth.
Since 2001 the City has pursued the acquisition of the private water companies serving the area and with those acquisitions the City of Cottonwood has become a full service municipality.
Cottonwood has experienced a major expansion of the Verde Valley Medical Center, development of new residential projects such as Cottonwood Ranch and many commercial and office projects.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) -- Rakeem Cato had four total touchdowns and Marshall had 657 total yards on Saturday in a 56-14 rout of UAB.
The Thundering Herd (6-3, 4-1 Conference-USA) scored quickly and easily. They averaged 12.6 yards per play to break a school record set in 1991 against VMI (12.4).
Cato surpassed Chad Pennington to become Marshall's all-time leader in consecutive games with a TD pass at 27. Cato had 276 yards, three passing touchdowns and no interceptions. His 20 pass attempts were the fewest in his career.
Steward Butler ran for 139 yards, Essray Taliaferro had 118 and Kevin Grooms had 108. It was the first time three Marshall players rushed for at least 100 yards in a game.
UAB (2-7, 1-4) finished with 464 total yards and 22 first downs but did not force a Marshall punt until the fourth quarter.
Jordan Howard had 123 yards on 22 carries for the Blazers.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

A two-stall detached garage is significantly damaged after a fire in Cedar Rapids.
It happened about 6:45 p.m. Friday in the 3800 block of Oakland Road Northeast.
The Cedar Rapids Fire Department said 54-year-old Charles Peal was using a torch inside the garage to repair a car.That's when a spark from the torch ignited the backseat of the vehicle.
Peal got out of the garage safely.
Firefighters contained the fire to the garage, but the car, which is owned by a friend of Peal's, was destroyed along. Tools and lawn equipment inside the garage were also lost.

Its tax season, and taxpayers are starting their annual journey into the convoluted landscape of the tax code. Their goal is to find what they owe or are owed, but its time taxpayers also got serious about calculating the scale and fairness of taxation itself.
Here are the three big issues with taxes:
• The tax code should be simplified. On this, almost everyone agrees.
• Tax laws should be changed to redistribute the burden upward. Here, most people agree.
• Taxes should be broadly increased. Good luck with that one.
In North Carolina, the Republican-led General Assembly revised the tax code last session with changes most taxpayers will encounter when they file next spring. The changes simplified the state income tax by removing multiple deductions, increasing the standard deduction and collapsing the three-tiered tax rate of 6, 7 and 7.75 percent into a flat rate of 5.8 percent in 2014 that falls to 5.75 percent in 2015.
But lawmakers failed to improve the codes fairness, giving high earners by far the most tax relief. And they failed to accomplish the basic purpose of taxes: to raise sufficient revenue for the states needs. Instead, the new tax law will cut state revenue by an estimated $2.8 billion in its first five years, even as the states population grows and its neglected needs become acute.
The legislatures leaders dont see it that way. They argue that the flat-tax rate is simpler. They say giving more tax relief to high earners and corporations will produce trickle-down benefits in the form of jobs and small-business income. And where critics see unmet needs, they see a reduction in unnecessary and even wasteful state spending.
Its bewildering that support for the trickle-down approach hasnt faded after decades of tax cuts for the rich that havent produced job growth. And its frustrating that claims of rampant wasteful spending cant be dispelled despite five years of tight state budgets and the $3.3 trillion in federal deficit reduction enacted since 2010. These illusions will persist until the folly of coddling the rich is more widely understood and the destitution of underfunded government becomes intolerable.
But sometimes tax reality leaks out in taxpayers tax bills.
Last week, we published a letter from Robert Horton of Garner headlined Tax hike ahead. Horton and his wife are 73-year-old retirees living off pensions, IRA savings and Social Security. With deductions lost under the state tax changes, especially the deduction for medical expenses, Horton said seniors could face tax-bill sticker shock next spring.
In estimating his 2014 tax bill, Horton wrote, I discovered that our taxes will rise from $185 [under the previous code] to $900. That is a 386 percent increase.
Hortons letter brought a tart response from Baron Adams, 81, a retired electrical engineer from Durham. Adams letter, published Saturday, didnt focus on the size of the Hortons tax hike. It focused on the smallness of their projected payment under the previous code.
Adams wrote that he and his wife live off Social Security and a single 401(k) fund and have no pensions. Yet he said he and his wife paid 10 times the state tax the Hortons would pay without the tax changes. No sympathy is due for the Hortons. They may have been very good at tax avoidance, but it seems they are going to have to pay a bit more of their fair share now. So, tell me, whats wrong with that?
Horton, a retired computer engineer from Minnesota, said in a phone interview that he didnt object to paying more. In fact, he was sheepish about calculating his 2013 return and finding he owed nothing except a $42 use tax after he voluntary disclosed purchases he had made online that didnt include sales tax. I thought, we ought to pay something, Horton said. But after looking at his projected tax bill for 2014, he said, Well, they took care of that.
Both Horton and Adams are right. Seniors shouldnt be subject to a huge tax increase, and everyone should pay their fair share.
That balance is way out of whack. Between the two letters came a report that Duke Energy which announced a $2.7 billion profit in 2013 paid no federal income taxes from 2008 to 2012. Another 25 companies in the Fortune 500 also got through the period paying no federal income taxes, according to the report from the Citizens for Tax Justice and the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy. A Duke Energy spokesman said the utilitys tax bill was lowered by bonus depreciation rules, temporarily put in place as a part of the 2009 federal stimulus to help create jobs.
While middle-income taxpayers dispute who should pay what, the nations highest earners and high-revenue companies arent paying their fair share or, in some cases, any share. Whats needed is a simpler tax system that collects enough revenue to meet the needs of a state and nation while fairly distributing the tax burden by eliminating excessive deductions and raising taxes on the wealthy.

(WMC-TV) - Many Shelby County leaders are still unhappy with the Unified School District's request for a bigger budget. The mayor is suggesting a meeting to compromise.
At Tuesday's Unified School Board meeting a budget request was made against the advice of the school board's chairman. The request was for an additional $145 million from the Shelby County Commission.
"I think it's unrealistic, I think it's irresponsible, I think it's wrong to do to our staff and sets a bad tone for us as a board," said Billy Orgel, SCS board chairman.
"That's not realistic and I think there's an expression of frustration on part of the school system," said Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell.
Mayor Mark Luttrell says all sides, including school leaders, county commissioners, and the mayor's office, need to sit down and come up with a compromise. Luttrell stopped short of saying property tax increases must be part of the equation.
"I don't want to commit at this point that we're going to need a tax increase," he said. "We are going to have some challenges and demands that we know are out there now."
Most Shelby County commissioners agree the request is unrealistic, in fact, some say now is not the time to raise taxes in the county.
"I have heard some talk about maybe putting this merger off for a couple of years," said Shelby County Commissioner Terry Roland. "Why not put it off and run the schools like we're running them right now for a couple years and let people with cooler heads sit down and try to figure out a world class system."
The new fiscal year for the school budget begins July 1, so there are several months to figure out solutions to this school budget crisis.

By late summer, folks in South Pasadena will have another dining option on Mission Street.
Renovations are underway in the city's historic Edwards & Faw building, new home to Crossings Restaurant. Crossings is owned by Vintage Restaurant Concepts, founded by Patrick and Stephanie Kirchen of South Pas. The restaurateur tapped South Pas' own Kim Ziel of George Architecture to design the space. The architect is Anthony George.
On the architecture company's website, where you can see illustrations of what the finished product will look like, the floor plan is described as: "Downstairs is the main dining room, full bar, kitchen, restrooms, and an outdoor tree-shaded dining patio. Upstairs is a second dining room, full bar, and restrooms.''
City Manager Sergio Gonzalez said he is excited about and looking forward to the new restaurant's grand opening. He hopes the addition will make South Pas a "destination for fine food,'' he said.
The following message by the Kirchens may be found on the Crossings website:
We founded Vintage Restaurant Concepts in South Pasadena after finding the perfect building to open the restaurant of our dreams.
It is our vision to open a restaurant that people come home to, a place the community comes to enjoy a wonderful experience, to celebrate, to create memories. It is our intention to become part of the foundation of the Mission Street District, celebrating the history and cultural heritage of South Pasadena.
Crossings, located at 1008 Mission, in a beautiful brick and mortar building built in 1923, will be our first adventure. We hope you will join us in creating a beautiful place to enjoy life with family and friends.
According to the South Pasadena Review, the restaurant's fine dining menu will offer classic American cuisine: steaks, chops, seafood, and salads, with an emphasis on fresh ingredients.

English for Specific Purposes
Specialized communication or test-taking skills in English can be improved markedly when an immersion program focuses practice on appropriate situational vocabulary and functional language routines.

commented on Neverwinter would like to share some Profound Ponderings about rogues in reply to Santiago Giménez Bueno
Santiago Giménez Bueno said:Do you want to be a rogue? Think twice. You can be stealth but anyone can see you, so can hurt you. If a control wizard cast a spell, even killed,...Uh, no one can see you in stealth. I have a 13k TR who gets 40+ kills in GG with no problem. Damage over time spells always last after the caster dies, this is D&D rules remember. That is no reason for a rogue to die, trust. Listen, find a guide, learn to play a rogue before coming here and giving your uniformed rants. Not everyone is unskilled.

Did Anyone here read "Collision Course"?
It's Shatner's new Star Trek novel. It came out a year or two back, and it tells the story of how Kirk and Spock first meet. Somewhat different treatment from the film. Personally, i liked how they met in the new film better, it was more dramatic, and i liked the rationale for their meeting. Kirk cheats a simulator program that Spock designs. Anyway, if you did read it, what are your thoughts, any comparisons with the filM?
Last edited by chator : 05-14-2009 at 12:32 PM. Reason: misspell
I read it when it first came out, and liked it. Bit once the first details of the new movie started coming out, it became one of THOSE books (THOSE = books that I would have liked to thought could fit in Trek canon, but now wouldn't).
Now that we know about the alternate reality concept that the new movie has taken, there is no reason to not believe that CC could be the way that Kirk & Spock met in the Prime universe!
You people have ruined "Star Trek The Next Generation" for me. You are absolutely the most insufferable group of jackasses I have ever had the misfortune of spending an extended period of time with. I hope you all f@*#! die. - Stewie after spending the day with the TNG cast.
I'm reading it now- about half way through. It is well-written, but then that's what you would expect from Reeves-Stevens.
As for the story, in all honesty I just don't see either Kirk or Spock being as Shatner dreamed up. Kirk as a 17 year old genius who can outwit Starfleet? A 19 year old Spock reading trashy sex novels?
But, I haven't finished it yet, so I'll keep an open mind.
Personally, i like the way the characters are written. We see alot of the traits of O.S. Kirk in embroyonic form, Kirk is a risk-taking rebel adventurer/strategizer. As for outwitting Starfleet, there is precendent for this, in that he will rig the simulator for the Kobayashi Maru training exercise so that he can win the test. But its true, in TOS we never see him playing with any piece of ship's equipment. He's a leader, NOT AN ENGINEER!
As for Spock, I also like the way he's written, as a kind of neurotic human playing Vulcan.
I laughed at how they met, or ran into one another for the first time, in a bar-with Kirk trying to start a bar brawl with him-that might have made a better scene in the new movie than the bar scene we ended up seeing, that was sooo cliche.
Finished it- can't decide whether I love it or hate it!
I loved the way Spock kept feeling superior, then guilty for feeling superior, and then guilty for feeling guilty. And his amazement that adults were capable of accomplishing anything- so typical for a teenager. (I have 2 teenage boys and should know!) And the bar scene was hilarious- I had to laugh out loud. For the life of him, Kirk can't get Spock to fight- Spock's reaction is too funny.
I loved the dialog in the book, too. Very nicely done. Sarek and Amanda's scenes were interesting- keeping his human parentage a secret.
But, Kirk as a 17 year old physics whiz- or one of any age- just did not work for me, at all. You're right- he's not supposed to be an engineer. I could not picture Kirk as this kid- not even after seeing and loving the movie.
The whole stealing the Enterprise business...nope. And the ending- oh, puh-leeeze! I mean, really! The 2 ships hung up together? Mallory sitting by, doing nothing?? It kept going from bad to worse to terrible. The last quarter or so of the book was hard to read.
So, why am I looking forward to the next one?!?
It was fun!

Curtis Granderson and Jacoby Ellsbury have had a similar run the last few seasons. In 2010, both players were held back by injury, failing to succeed in their new roles in the way their teams envisioned. In Granderson's case, he missed 24 games due to a grade two groin strain, and didn't see his performance improve in his new pro-lefty environment as expected. Ellsbury was even worse off, missing all but 18 games due to broken ribs. Or not broken ribs. It depended on who you asked.
The Yankees and Red Sox wanted these players to come back and perform as they knew they could, but both did their respective teams one better and produced the best seasons of their careers. Granderson played all but six games, and hit .262/.364/.552 while smacking 41 homers and 77 extra-base hits. Granderson had power in the past, but now he had more of it. Ellsbury's homer surge came out of nowhere, as he went deep 32 times -- that's 12 more than he had in his career before 2011. He posted a .321/.376/.552 line with 83 extra-base hits, led the league in total bases, earned Comeback Player of the Year honors, and finished second for AL MVP.
These seasons were unexpected, but both players are young enough -- and talented enough -- that it's easy to envision them sticking at this level. That's been said about many a player before, though, and we all know that's not how baseball works. There are ups and downs, career highs and career lows; Ellsbury and Granderson have experienced all of those in the past two years.
The major change with Granderson was in his production against left-handed pitchers. He had been notoriously awful against lefties, as his career line prior to 2011 was .215/.274/.346. That's some replacement level production, but because he hit right-handers so well (.287/.363/.527) it's not like it dragged him down completely. Even with his injury and struggles in 2010, Granderson did improve against lefties somewhat. In 2009, his True Average -- which accounts for park, league difficulty, and other contextual items in order to present a single offensive value -- against lefties was .186. Replacement level TAv is .230, and average is .260, meaning Granderson was further below replacement level than that hypothetical player is from an average one. In a word, he was terrible against lefties.
For 2010, though, he was certainly tolerable, posting a .242 TAv against southpaws. It's tough to get excited about a single-season change like that, but Granderson built on that further. In 2011, Granderson posted a .327 True Average against lefties, actually doing better against them than the righties he's crushed for years (944 OPS vs. LHP, 902 vs. RHP).
How much of that can we expect him to retain? Lefties have career-best years against the southpaws who normally crush them fairly often, due to the small sample sizes involved. Like Granderson, many of them attribute it to a changed stance or approach, but saying so doesn't always make it true. Granderson's 2011 is impressive, but he faced lefties just 219 times -- that's roughly one-third of a season. Looking at the last 12 years (the seasons in which there is split data for TAv available), we get a sense of how much of this improvement is actually, well, improvement. This table shows lefty batters who saw at least a 50 point increase in TAv against lefties from one season to the next, then how well they performed in the last year of this three-year period:
|PA Year 1
|TAv Year 1
|PA Year 2
|TAv Year 2
|PA Year 3
|TAv Year 3
As a unit from 2000 through 2011, lefties who saw a Granderson-esque boost against southpaws in one season retained almost 40 points of the increase in the following year. Granderson has already had his three-year period in a way -- and added another 90 points of TAv in the last year -- which bodes well for him in terms of maintaining at least some level of excellence against his former nemeses.
Ellsbury also improved against left-handers, but he was never as poor against them as Granderson (.307/.359/.393 pre-2011, .284/.348/.492 in 2011). His 2011 had more to do with getting better at crushing anyone, regardless of handedness.
Ellsbury's secret to success was specific, though. Pitchers used to kill him with fastballs inside and low, as he didn't have the patience, swing mechanics, or power to drive them. If pitchers needed Ellsbury to whiff or make weak contact, challenging him with a fastball -- and focusing it low and inside -- was the key. Ellsbury ranked #16 in the majors from 2007 through 2010 in percentage of fastballs seen with 65.8 percent, alongside the likes of players no one is going to confuse for power hitters:
|David Eckstein
|Luis Castillo
|Jason Kendall
|Omar Vizquel
|Juan Pierre
|Nick Punto
|Jamey Carroll
|Alexi Casilla
|Scott Podsednik
|Chone Figgins
|Willy Taveras
|Denard Span
|Craig Counsell
|Maicer Izturis
|Placido Polanco
|Jacoby Ellsbury
Pitchers didn't get the memo in time in 2011 to stop Ellsbury from being a power threat. He still saw 62 percent fastballs, good for #11 in the majors among qualified players. That's likely to change now that the league has had the off-season to see just what they did wrong against Ellsbury, but it's also not likely to stop his performance completely.
The 2011 version of Ellsbury was one with a different approach. He attacked and succeeded at crushing pitches he had not had much luck with in the past, in a way that exceeded even the most optimistic of his old scouting reports. Fangraphs' pitch value data is not predictive, but it does tell a story of what happened. Prior to 2011, Ellsbury had produced -0.5 runs against fastballs. In 2011, he was at +31.4 against heaters. If that doesn't bump him out of the top 20 in fastballs seen, then the league deserves what's coming to them.
Adjustments will only slow the tide, though, not stop it entirely, as Ellsbury has shown himself capable of driving just about anything thrown in his direction. If he "only" goes deep 20-25 times year instead of being a 30-plus homer threat, the Red Sox will find a way to accept him for who he is.
Granderson and Ellsbury might never replicate their 2011 seasons again, but that's what a career year is. These are two supremely talented center fielders who have shown us what they can do when they are at their very best. Given those lofty heights, even their second-best is going to be better than most.

When Peyton Manning takes to the field early Sunday evening at MetLife Stadium for what will be his third Super Bowl, some will claim he has about four hours to save his legacy.
That doesn't seem fair, or even right.
A legacy is not made because one person wins or loses a single game.
We've become so myopic as a society, so concerned only with a "what have you done for me lately" outcome, that we forget that what's happening now doesn't necessarily speak for what has happened in the past.
Manning's legacy, regardless of what happens against Seattle, will remain intact.
Just ask Nelson Stewart, Newman's current football coach and former Manning teammate.
"Everywhere I go, whether it's a clinic or conference, the first thing people think of is Payton Manning," Stewart said this week.
The Greenies were an academic institution with the occasional on-field or on-court successes prior to Manning's taking over the quarterback position in 1991.
He immediately led them to within an eyelash of a state championship game appearance as a sophomore, a round they haven't reached since.
And according to Stewart, families still choose to send their children to Newman because of what Manning began at the Jefferson Avenue campus two decades ago.
"One of the things I hear is the things he has accomplished, that has opened up doors for kids to come play football," Stewart said
Stewart's team is part of the Manning Family legacy at the Uptown private school. Peyton and his brothers, Eli and Cooper, still own offensive records. They've donated money to upgrade aspects of the locker room. The jersey they wore is hanging in the football dressing room, signed by each.
But make no mistake, it's the middle Manning who set the tone for the football program.
"And to this day we're known as a pass heavy offense," Stewart said. "That's all because of him. He took Newman football on his back in the early 90s."
Still, I understand that people are questioning his NFL legacy, so, let's get myopic.
In 15 NFL seasons, he has led his team to the playoffs 13 times. He has helped his teams go 10-6 or better 13 times and 12-4 or better 10 times. He's 11-11 in the playoffs as a quarterback and has changed the fortunes of two different franchises, going to four AFC championship games.
Should the Broncos win, he would be the fifth quarterback listed by the NFL as having won and played in a Super Bowl at the position for two different teams, but would be the first to be the primary starter for both teams.
He has about 7,000 fewer passing yards than Brett Favre, the NFL's career leader in the category, but has played five fewer seasons.
In his 15th season, after four neck surgeries nearly ended his career, he set NFL records for passing yards in a season (5,477) and touchdowns in a season (55). He led the league in completions (450) and attempts (659). He earned the first-team All-Pro designation and will likely earn another league MVP.
Yet, myopia isn't necessarily our best trait as people. A legacy is about much more than one phase of someone's life.
Listen to Newman's current quarterback and you'll hear all you need to know about the legacy that matters, ultimately, for Manning.
"He gives back to the football program and the school," Jabiari Tyler said Friday after a pep rally the school held in Manning's honor. "Peyton means more than this guy who used to go our school who is now in the NFL and is about to play in the NFL. We want to look up to him. We want to be what he's doing because he's actually giving back to us."
And that's really the only legacy that truly matters.

The driver who ran from the scene of a crash in northwest Albany Monday night turned himself in to Georgia State Patrol troopers Tuesday morning.
23-year-old Justin Korona of Leesburg said he lost control of his Toyota Tacoma causing it to end up on its side in a yard on Whispering Pines Road about 8:30.
He took out a stop sign and street sign as well. He asked neighbors to try to help him flip the truck right-side up so he could drive away.
When they refused, he ran away because he said he was scared.
He turned himself in to the Georgia State Patrol Tuesday morning at 8:00.
Korona was charged with failure to maintain lane.

Parvati is an ancient mountain goddess, assocated with the Himalayas. She is similar to, but not identical with, the mountain goddess Uma. In terms of her personality and relationship to the god Siva, she also shares some aspects with the fathful-wife goddess Sati. She is the mother of Siva's childen.
According to some synctretically-minded Parvati-centered puranas, Kali was not an "original" goddess but came into being when Siva teased his mate Parvati about her dark skin and called her "blackie" (Kali). In response, she shed the black skin and became effulgently light -- and was given the epithet Gauri ("shining"). Her black skin then took on life and became the goddess Kali. Obviously this is a Parvati-centered story and not acceptable to those for whom wrathful or fierce Kali is the primary goddess!)

ARCADIA, Calif. (March 5, 2011) – Twirling Candy's expected coronation as the 1-2 favorite in Saturday's 74th running of the Grade I, $750,000 Santa Anita Handicap presented by San Manuel Indian Bingo & Casino was turned topsy-turvy by a virtual sigalert in midstretch.
The outcome was perhaps the most controversial, along with Stardust Mel's victory over Out of the East in 1975, non-disqualification in the 74-year history of the storied Big 'Cap. It finally provided the race with a winning female jockey, Chantal Sutherland. And it lent justification for trainer Bob Baffert's assault by numbers. Victorious Game On Dude was one of four horses saddled by the Hall of Fame trainer who had won the previous year with Misremembered.
For the record, 14-1 Game On Dude nipped 25-1 Setsuko by a nose at the finish line with 69-1 Quindici Man another half-length back in third. The winning time was 1:59.47. A winning $1 Trifecta ticket paid $10,325.60.
But it was the series of events involving heavily backed Twirling Candy in midstretch that likely will become best remembered. Trainer John Sadler's stunning 4-year-old would wind up fifth as the worst Big 'Cap disappointment since Gentleman finished last in a field of four at odds of 1-20 in 1998.
Twirling Candy, racing in third, was bumped on both sides while getting pinballed by the winner and Setsuko. After a 12-minute video tape review, the stewards decided not to alter the finish. Many in the crowd of 23,304 booed lustily.
Scott Chaney spoke on behalf of the three stewards. "It was the majority opinion that the inside horse (Game On Dude) was going straight, and that the contact was caused by the middle horse (Twirling Candy) drifting in, causing contact and a whole chain of ping-ponging events. We held Twirling Candy accountable whereas we felt the inside horse was going straight the whole time."
Chaney said the three judges were split, 2-1, in a decision that evoked fervent reaction.
"The inside came out," said Joel Rosario, who rode Twirling Candy, "and the outside kind of stayed with me, so I got bumped and lost control. After that, I didn't have anything." Commented Sadler, "Everybody was riding against him, so he got hammered every which way, on every turn. There just wasn't much of a chance."
"It's the wrong decision," exclaimed Victor Espinoza, who was aboard Setsuko. "I don't know why it took so long to make the wrong decision. I think the stewards are blind. How many times do they have to drop me to disqualify the horse? That's insane. I don't mind running a legitimate second, but when you knock the air out of my horse and you get beat by a head (nose), that's insane."
"I had no problem with my horse," reported Sutherland, a view many observers found disputable. "He was as straight as an arrow. All I know is that in the race it felt like I got bumped from behind. My horse went off balance, and I hadn't drifted in or anything. I know that I got bumped in the race. When I watched the replay, I thought it was clear that Joel (Rosario) kind of tipped into Victor (Espinoza) and bumped him into me."
Baffert, who originally had named Eastern-based John Velazquez to ride Game On Dude, changed to Sutherland at the eleventh hour after it became apparent that Velazquez would not be unavailable. Sutherland, a 34-year-old native of Winnipeg, Ontario, who rides in Canada during most of the year, had only three wins at the Santa Anita meet prior to her historic breakthrough.
"This is by far the best win in my career," she said. "Even getting a leg up from Bob (Baffert) on the horse was great. I just had such a good feeling today."
"I saw the race, I saw the bumping, I saw the replay," said Baffert. "I thought Chantal rode a great race and she deserved to win it. I think the stewards made the right call. Once you're out of horse (referring to Twirling Candy), it doesn't matter."
A 4-year-old gelded son of Awesome Again, Game On Dude's previous biggest win had come in last year's Grade III Lone Star Derby. He subsequently ran a creditable fourth in the Belmont Stakes for owners Terry Lanni, Ernest Moody, Maria Vila and Bernie Schiappa, all residents of Las Vegas.
Game On Dude began the Santa Anita season with a 1 ¼-length win in an optional claimer with leading rider Rafael Bejarano aboard. "Bejarano was going to ride him in this race," noted Baffert, "and then he decided to stick with Sadler (Gladding, who finished 10th). Right now, his agent's got to be vomiting."
The 74th running of the Santa Anita Handicap marked only the second time in its rich history that a single trainer had entered four horses. Only the legendary Charlie Whittingham had previously done so with little success in 1976. Baffert's runners were sent off at odds of 9-2 (First Dude, sixth); 36-1 (Tweebster, seventh) and 25-1 (Spurrier, eighth). Game On Dude was the second-best fancied of the quartet at 14-1.
The winner sat directly behind early leaders Aggie Engineer and First Dude. He took a short lead with a quarter-mile to go. Game On Dude fought back gamely after the incident during the stretch run to win resolutely under Sutherland's vigorous handling.
Game On Dude paid $31.60, $11.60 and $14.40. Setsuko returned $15.80 and $25. Quindici Man's third-place finish as the second longest price in the field of 11 skewered the show payoffs. He paid $48.20 to show.
With the winning purse of $450,000, Game On Dude boosted his career earnings to $702,650 from a 4-1-1 showing in eight career starts.
Brazilian-bred Fluke provided trainer Humberto Ascanio with his second graded stakes victory within two months in the 52nd running of the program's second Grade I contest, the $300,000 Frank E. Kilroe Mile while resisting hard-charging favorite Caracortado by a head at the wire.
On Feb. 5, Fluke had lifted Ascanio out of a 46-race dry spell by winning Santa Anita's Grade III Thunder Road Handicap. This was the same horse that had delivered Hollywood Park's Grade I Citation Handicap to Hall of Famer Bobby Frankel's former aide just 11 days following Frankel's death due to lymphoma on Nov. 16, 2009.
With three wins and three seconds for Ascanio, Fluke has served as a beacon for the man that had loyally served for 35 years as Frankel's right hand. He was 9-1 the day he registered his first graded stakes win in the Citation after being first saddled by Ascanio. He was the 5-2 second choice in the Kilroe. Joe Talamo, who had ridden Fluke in his previous five races beginning with the Citation, opted for 6-5 favorite Caracortado on this day.
With Bejarano taking over, Fluke closed strongly along the inside to reach the wire just ahead of the rags-to-riches California-bred who rallied rapidly between horses from next to last in the field of 10.
"You couldn't have a better trip than that," Ascanio said in the winner's circle. "He saved all the ground. If he went outside, I don't know what would have happened. But he stayed inside, and I had a lot of confidence in the horse.
"I was worried the horse might be a little short because, in one month, I only gave him two works, but I wanted a fresh horse, a happy horse, and it paid off."
"I always had a lot of confidence because my horse relaxes well in the beginning of the race," said Bejarano, who had worked Fluke four times. "That's why I had a lot of horse and was able to finish strong at the end. I stayed on the rail and my horse showed me a big kick. Caracortado kept running, but my horse had the best trip in the race."
Talamo said his horse was bothered early by Lieve, who broke down entering the backstretch. "We were fortunate enough to not alter course too bad," Talamo reported. "Other than that, we had such a good trip. I followed the winner the whole way. My horse ran a winning race. It was just that the other horse never did stop."
Jeranimo, the third choice at 6-1, finished third, one-half length behind Caracortado. The winner ran the distance in 1:33.50 and paid $7.40, $3.20 and $2.60. Caracortado paid $2.80 and $2.40. The show price on Jeranimo was $3.60. Owned by Patricia Bozano, Fluke earned $180,000 to bring his career bankroll to $637,948 from a 7-6-0 record in 16 starts.
The way the day unfolded, Sadler's best chance for a Grade I victory fell a neck short earlier in the afternoon when Zazu was unable to overtake even-money favorite Turbulent Descent in the 72nd running of the $250,000 Santa Anita Oaks for 3-year-old fillies at 1 1/16 miles.
The outcome avenged Turbulent Descent's first setback in four races on Feb. 5 when Zazu upset the 2-5 favorite, coming off a two-month freshening, in the Grade I Las Virgenes Stakes.
The Oaks evolved into a dramatic rematch as the two waited in the wings among five entrants before pouring in on through the stretch. The final time of 1:41.05 bettered the stakes record of 1:41.20 set by Hall of Famer Bold 'n Determined in 1980.
Turbulent Descent, with regular rider David Flores aboard, made her move three wide around the far turn to take command. Zazu, two lengths behind with Rosario aboard, accelerated in determined pursuit. The winner had a two-length edge in midstretch. Zazu flew late, and just missed.
"Last time, I didn't want to put too much pressure on my filly because she was coming off a layoff and because we had so much rain, she had missed a work," Flores said in reference to the one-mile Las Virgenes.
"Today, I was very confident she was going to run big. I took a peak back at the three-eighths pole, and I saw the gray shadow (Zazu), so I knew where she was. At the quarter pole, I let her go, and she gave me everything."
After the first two fillies, it was 5 ½ lengths back to A Z Warrior in third. Kilograeme finished another 5 ¼ lengths behind in fourth, one-half length ahead of May Day Rose, who had led to the far turn.
Turbulent Descent paid $4, $2.40 and $2.20. Zazu, who was 4-1 in the Las Virgenes, paid $2.80 and $2.10 as the 2-1 second choice. A Z Warrior, with Bejarano in the saddle, returned $3 to show.
Mike Puype, who trains the victorious daughter of Congrats, suggested that 1 1/16 miles might be the maximum distance within Turbulent Descent's scope. The Oaks was her second win at the distance to go along with last December's Hollywood Starlet.
"She's done it," Puype said. "But let's face it; the video on her first two races (both sprints) was breathtaking. She's a lot of horse going one turn." He ruled out the Kentucky Oaks at 1 1/8 miles as a future consideration while mentioning the one-mile Acorn and Test Stakes as possibilities.
Sadler, meanwhile, set his sights on the Kentucky Oaks for Zazu. "She really ran well, so we're really excited," Sadler said. "If the race were a little longer, she may have gotten there. She looks like she'll be ready for the Kentucky Oaks."
With her fourth victory in five starts, Turbulent Descent earned $150,000 for Blinkers On Racing Stable and partners. The purse boosted her career total to $528,350. The bay filly was a sales purchase in April of last year for $160,000.
On the anniversary of his 2010 Santa Anita Handicap victory, Baffert's Misremembered returns to action Sunday as the 2-1 morning line favorite in the $75,000 Santana Mile, headliner of a nine-race program that gets underway at 12:30 p.m.

Georgia will head to Nashville this weekend seeking to overcome a surprising loss to Missouri. Though quarterback Aaron Murray quieted doubters a bit with a huge performance against LSU, his play against Missouri left a little to be desired and perhaps brought them out again. Beating Vanderbilt should temporarily quiet them. It should be noted that Murray's stat line against the Tigers -- 25 of 45 passing for 290 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions -- came with most of his offense depleted. Georgia was forced to start freshman J.J. Green, with both Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall out.
For Vanderbilt, the story is largely the same, and in some ways, nearly identical -- they too lost to Missouri in their last game, although that was two weeks ago. Head coach James Franklin and company have had a bye to get things ready for the Bulldogs, and Austin Carta-Samuels is poised to shred the Georgia secondary without serious improvement there.
The numbers
Rankings and records: No. 15 Georgia is 4-2 on the season leads the all-time series 53-18-2, and has won the last six meetings. Vanderbilt is 3-3 (0-3).
Vegas: Georgia opened as nine-point favorites, but that number has steadily dropped.
Weather: The forecast calls for partly cloudy skies with a high of 65.
Three names to know
Todd Gurley (Georgia running back) - The Bulldogs will finally get some reinforcements, it seems. Gurley sprained his ankle several weeks ago and missed the game against Missouri, but is reportedly very close to returning. If he is able to play, it would obviously be a huge boost to the offense-- Gurley is the team's leading rusher with 450 yards on the year, not to mention a tremendous all-around talent.
Jordan Matthews (Vanderbilt wide receiver) - Matthews still seems to fly under the radar, despite catching nearly everything in sight. His consistency is laudable -- the senior receiver has gone over 100 yards in five of six games this season, and just a tad short of making it six for six. He is currently on pace to break his reception and receiving yardage record, as well. A very young and inexperienced Georgia secondary will have its hands full with him.
Tray Matthews (Georgia defensive back) - One of the players who will be in charge of stopping Matthews (Jordan), this Matthews (Tray) has the only Georgia interception on the season.
Two things at stake
An unexpected loss to Missouri has made Georgia's path to Atlanta a bit more difficult -- it is by no means over, but the Bulldogs will need to win out and get a little outside help if they are to win the SEC East. That includes beating Florida next weekend, a game that does not figure to be easy. A win over Vanderbilt would set that one up nicely.
Vanderbilt has fallen back to Earth a bit after a great 2012. They are still looking for a win in conference play -- that same Missouri team beat them by almost four touchdowns, and the closest the Commodores have come to an SEC win was their heartbreaking season opening loss to Ole Miss. Georgia would be a pretty nice consolation prize, though.

The federal government shutdown may have Minnesota's microbrew industry feeling a hangover soon because the agency that approves new craft beers has been ruled non-essential.
The news that huge delays could hit brewers across the country is considered one of the biggest buzz-kills because it could stop seasonal ales and other creative craft concoctions from the startups that won't be able to open until the government does again.
"This is my still that I will be using for production," Bartley Blume demonstrated.
Blume is hoping his innovative start-up will be serving up suds soon.
"Distilling is sexy," he said. "There's really cool equipment. It's got a lot of potential. It's just visually stimulating."
He wants to add in a few beer brewers and open what he calls a "brewstillery" with a tap room in the front, but he can't just yet.
"The recipe for the spirits has to be approved by the federal government, and that's where I'm stuck," Blume said.
Blume's momentum may fizzle if the Alcohol and Tobacco, Tax and Trade Bureau --which is responsible for approving new breweries, recipes and labels -- remains shuttered.
The shutdown also poses a potential problem for established brewers who build their business by introducing new and exotic flavors every few months -- but Tony Cayko, with Summit Brewing in St. Paul, says they were lucky to get approval and launch two new beers before the shutdown set in.
"We just received it two days prior to the shutdown of the government," he said.
Even so, founder Mark Stutrud wonders how the industry -- especially smaller brewers -- will fare if the shutdown lingers too long.
"If it extends into several weeks or a few months, literally half or more of the sales we anticipate will be wiped out," he predicted.
Meanwhile, Blume is offering to help with negotiations if it'll help Congress work out a deal.
"If it takes a beer and a shot of whiskey, you know? Let's get it done. I'll supply the whiskey," he said.
Making matters worse for the brewers, the closed agency will still continue to process taxes from existing permit holders while applications remain in limbo.

Train delays on First Capital Connect and Southern after digger crashes into Carshalton bridge
Updated 4:48pm Thursday 23rd January 2014 in News By Sophia Sleigh, Chief Reporter
A lorry carring a digger has crashed into a bridge in Carshalton, causing travel delays.
The digger was on the back of the lorry and it got wedged underneath the rail bridge in North Street shortly after 3pm.
The blockage caused traffic to back up for about 10 minutes until workers managed to free the vehicle.
Disruption to train services is expected to affect both First Capital Connect and Southern customers.

I live near Wandsworth Railway Bridge - every day a lorry has to reverse/turn back because it can't get under the bridge.
Before Christmas I spent 3 hours one evening (on and off) helping a Lithuanian (nice guy) driver of a vehicle transporter (phoned police - with road names - post codes etc) who couldn't get under the bridge - and couldn't reverse out of it either.
What it comes down to - is why are the council allowing these huge vehicles onto our narrow Victorian roads - they damage the surfaces and must be damaging our bridges over the Thames.
Why are our council doing all this building of over 1 million new homes (in my area) without thinking of accommodating the new drivers and these huge lorries - by widening our roads.

If there's one real division in MMA that's consistently the hardest to rank, it's probably light heavyweight. A variety of different styles among the top fighters has led to close fights, controversial decisions, and just plain craziness. How do you rank three fighters when the A has beat B, B has beat C, and C has beat A? It's hard. And it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that our six panelists are all over the board with how they see things.
As usual, our panel consists of two members from each of the three SB Nation MMA sites - Ariel Helwani and Dave Doyle from MMA Fighting; Thomas Myers and Brian Hemminger from MMA Mania; and finally, Dallas Winston and yours truly from Bloody Elbow. Check out the fancy chart below to see where we had everyone at:
(Scoring: Fighters are given 10 points for a first-place vote, nine points for a second, etc., down to one point for 10th place. The results are then tallied up and presented here. Official SB Nation rankings policy: Fighters under commission suspension are ineligible to be ranked during the duration of their suspension or if they have licensing issues. At the moment, this does not affect any fighters generally considered in the discussion for a top 10 light heavyweight spot).
One thing we can all agree on is that Jon Jones is the best fighter in the division, and likely the best fighter on the planet overall at the moment. After that though, to quote Genesis of all bands - it's a land of confusion. UFC 165 title challenger Alexander Gustafsson managed to nab the number two spot on the strength of three second-place votes and one third-place. He also received a vote in fifth and seventh. Rashad Evans was a top-five guy for everyone on the list, and was as high as second on one ballot. That earned him the number three spot overall.
In the four spot sits Phil Davis. He received votes in four different spots - second, third, fifth, and six. Former number two Lyoto Machida was right behind him, and his voting was even more erratic - one had him as high as second, while two had his as low as seventh. It should be noted that we did the voting before Machida's drop to Middleweight was announced, hence him being on the list.
In the six spot was Glover Teixeira, who might be the guy that panel disagrees on the most. Two of us had him at number three, and one had him in the four slot, one opted for six, while two others still have him down in the nine hole. Following him was Dan Henderson at seven. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira came in at eight, and Chael Sonnen entered the list at nine following his win over Mauricio Rua at UFC Fight Night 26. Rua dropped off the list with the loss, which meant that Gegard Mousasi squeezed in at number 10.
Upcoming matchups for ranked fighters
Jon Jones (1) vs. Alexander Gustafsson (2) - UFC 165, September 21st
Lyoto Machida (4) vs Tim Kennedy (NR) - UFC Fight Night 31 (Middleweight bout)
Glover Teixeira (6) vs. Ryan Bader (NR) - UFC Fight Night 29, September 4th
Dan Henderson (7) vs. Vitor Belfort (NR) - UFC Fight Night 32, November 9th

Old Dominion University's Student Health Services has received a limited supply of influenza vaccine and will offer flu shots to all students, faculty and staff on a first-come, first-served basis.
The clinic will be from 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 21, in the South Mall of Webb University Center.
While the flu shot is recommended to anyone who wishes to reduce the risk of contracting the flu, the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) strongly recommends that persons in the following high-risk groups receive an annual flu shot:

For their birthday party, most kids receive a lot of toys as gifts from their friends and family, but one Long Island boy has something else in store.
What do you do with your birthday presents? Well Fox 5 met one 9-year-old boy who's donating his to help Long Island kids affected by Superstorm Sandy.
Tyler Fazzari proudly rocks a #27 Ray Rice jersey while he plays with his friends at his birthday party.
The owner of Unlimited Sports in Port Washington donated the venue after hearing that Tyler, who turned nine on Sunday, is giving all the gifts coming his way to kids in Long Beach who are still trying to recover from the storm.
Tyler took a break from playing to tell us why.
"I feel really bad that their school and their houses got destroyed and I felt I just wanted to help them." said Tyler.
The aspiring running back's generosity inspired the owner of a local tech company to make a five-figure contribution.
"When we heard that Tyler was going to do that, he we felt we had to help him support the schools in Long Beach," said Damian Scarfo, CEO of TEQ.
His parents couldn't be more proud.
"He's amazing. He was born this way. His heart is so big," said his Erica Fazzari, Tyler's proud mother.
"I'm so proud of him. For a small idea to turn into something bigger and bigger," said Brad Fazzari, his dad.
And Tyler has a message for the kids of Long Beach.
"I feel bad for you and I'm going to try to help you as much as I can so help will be there," said Tyler.
