49ers' fall from grace in Seattle hard to stomach
After starting out like a house on fire in their season opener in Seattle, the 49ers crashed and burned in embarrassing fashion in Seattle, receiving a very rude awakening from Pete Carroll's fired-up Seahawks.
Hasselbeck leads Seahawks to opening-day rout
Matt Hasselbeck threw for two touchdowns and ran for another as the Seattle Seahawks gave new coach Pete Carroll a winning start with a 31-6 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
Niners' Baas relishes challenge of new position
San Francisco's David Baas has really taken to the challenge of moving from guard to center, where he looks more natural, according to NFC West Whispers.
Five football recipes to try out on game day
We asked five NFL players for the recipes they like the most, and they served up some delicious-sounding fare.
Report: 49ers' Davis becomes league's highest-paid TE
Vernon Davis has reportedly agreed to a five-year, $37 million contract extension, making the 49ers' tight end the highest-paid player at his position.
49ers spat possibly due to Crabtree's inactivity
We hear the profanity-laced altercation between Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree the day before the 49ers' preseason finale might have been triggered by frustration over Crabtree's lack of playing time.
RB Robinson one of 22 Niners let go
The 49ers have cut special-teams standout Michael Robinson among the 22 players released on Friday.
TE Davis and WR Crabtree argue at 49ers practice
TE Vernon Davis and WR Michael Crabtree had to be removed from practice and counseled by coach Mike Singletary following a non-football related dispute.
Searching for QB help next year?
PFW's Eric Edholm identifies the teams that are most likely to seek QB help before the 2011 season begins a year from now.
Report: 49ers NT Franklin to sign franchise tender
NT Aubrayo Franklin is ending his contract dispute with the 49ers. He will return to San Francisco on Saturday to undergo his physical and sign his franchise tender.
Forget about 49ers having morale issues
The perception that the back-to-back exits of Kentwan Balmer and Glen Coffee from the 49ers might be indicative of some sort of teamwide morale problem is totally off base, the way we hear it.
49ers release veteran WR Jones
The 49ers announced Wednesday that they have released sixth-year veteran WR Brandon Jones, who never lived up to expectations after signing with the team as a free agent early last offseason.
49ers' system will determine Crabtree's fantasy worth
There's reason to believe Michael Crabtree could be much more of a fantasy force in 2010 — provided the Niners' offensive system gives him enough opportunities.
49ers land RB Westbrook
The 49ers signed veteran RB Brian Westbrook to a one-year deal, creating one of the league's top backfields.
Report: 49ers trade Balmer to Seattle
The 49ers have reportedly traded DL Kentwan Balmer, who had been AWOL from training camp, to Seattle.
Gore was fined $10,500 by the NFL on Wednesday after he wore his socks too low in Sunday's NFC championship game at Atlanta, an equipment violation. It marked the second time he was fined this season.||||||| Gore says he was so focused on winning the game and getting the 49ers back to a Super Bowl at last that he didn't give his uniform all the attention he should have. He did his part on the field, though. Gore rank for touchdowns of 5 and 9 yards in the Niners' 28-24 comeback victory over the Falcons, putting his team in position to capture the franchise's sixth title.
Gore managed just six carries for 28 yards in the 49ers' blowout loss at Seattle on Sunday night.||||||| The 49ers fell behind early and Gore quickly became an afterthought.
Gore carried the ball 12 times for 63 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 27-13 win over Miami.||||||| Gore has now found the end zone in three consecutive weeks. He remains a high-end No. 2 RB going forward.
Gore is nursing a wrist problem for the Niners.||||||| He expects to play Sunday against Miami.
Gore was limited to 58 yards on 23 carries by St. Louis, though he did register a touchdown.||||||| Gore hasn't run for 100-plus yards since Oct. 18 but is still essentially a must-start in all leagues.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

New Study Thoroughly Debunks Global Warming, Will Media Notice?
By Noel Sheppard | July 11, 2012 | 09:28
In the past several weeks as much of the nation suffered under a massive heatwave, global warming-obsessed media depicted the high temperatures as evidence of Nobel laureate Al Gore's favorite money-making scam.
A new study published in the journal Nature Sunday completely debunks all previous claims that temperatures in recent decades are in any way historic demonstrating instead that things were much hotter on this planet during Roman times:
Here, we present new evidence based on maximum latewood density data from northern Scandinavia, indicating that this cooling trend was stronger (−0.31 °C per 1,000 years, ±0.03 °C) than previously reported, and demonstrate that this signature is missing in published tree-ring proxy records. The long-term trend now revealed in maximum latewood density data is in line with coupled general circulation models indicating albedo-driven feedback mechanisms and substantial summer cooling over the past two millennia in northern boreal and Arctic latitudes. These findings, together with the missing orbital signature in published dendrochronological records, suggest that large-scale near-surface air-temperature reconstructionsrelying on tree-ring data may underestimate pre-instrumental temperatures including warmth during Medieval and Roman times.
The website of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz published a more reader-friendly explanation of the study Monday:
Professor Dr. Jan Esper's group at the Institute of Geography at JGU used tree-ring density measurements from sub-fossil pine trees originating from Finnish Lapland to produce a reconstruction reaching back to 138 BC. In so doing, the researchers have been able for the first time to precisely demonstrate that the long-term trend over the past two millennia has been towards climatic cooling. "We found that previous estimates of historical temperatures during the Roman era and the Middle Ages were too low," says Esper. "Such findings are also significant with regard to climate policy, as they will influence the way today's climate changes are seen in context of historical warm periods." [...]
For the first time, researchers have now been able to use the data derived from tree-rings to precisely calculate a much longer-term cooling trend that has been playing out over the past 2,000 years. Their findings demonstrate that this trend involves a cooling of -0.3°C per millennium due to gradual changes to the position of the sun and an increase in the distance between the Earth and the sun.
"This figure we calculated may not seem particularly significant," says Esper. "However, it is also not negligible when compared to global warming, which up to now has been less than 1°C. Our results suggest that the large-scale climate reconstruction shown by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) likely underestimate this long-term cooling trend over the past few millennia."
The UK Register observed Tuesday:
Americans sweltering in the recent record-breaking heatwave may not believe it - but it seems that our ancestors suffered through much hotter summers in times gone by, several of them within the last 2,000 years.
A new study measuring temperatures over the past two millennia has concluded that in fact the temperatures seen in the last decade are far from being the hottest in history.
Here's a nice little graph to demonstrate what's really happened in the past 2,000 years:
This thoroughly debunks the claim that temperatures on the planet today are in any way historic or unprecedented.
The Register continued:
In the IPCC view, the planet was cooler during Roman times and the medieval warm spell. Overall the temperature is headed up - perhaps wildly up, according to the famous/infamous "hockey stick" graph.
The new study indicates that that's quite wrong, with the current warming less serious than the Romans and others since have seen - and the overall trend actually down by a noticeable 0.3°C per millennium, which the scientists believe is probably down to gradual long-term shifts in the position of the Sun and the Earth's path around it.
Just as many climate realists have been saying for years.
The only question remaining is whether America's global warming-obsessed media will pay any attention to this new information.
Stay tuned.

#4 I'm wondering if two trend lines would not be more accurate
Submitted by RESTLESS 1 on Wed, 07/11/2012 - 10:19am.
There is no doubt that temps have been trending upward since the LIA (due to more sun activity, and likely, natural cyclical changes), so it looks like the graph would require two trend lines, one from the Roman period to the LIA, and one after the LIA.
It seems the case should be made that there was more cooling up to the LIA, and therefore the warming after is diminished as well.

#5 Short answer is no.
Submitted by c5then on Wed, 07/11/2012 - 11:36am.
The low point of the LIA and the peak at the far right are still within the amplitude maximums and minimums established previously in the data points. Therefore it is not appropriate to initate a new baseline trend. The assumption would be that we would probably see a small reduction in the average temps over the last couple of years to re-normalize the graph. That is exactly what has been observed. It would be consistent with the pattern to enter a decade or more of cooler global temperatures that might likely pull the white average line down below the the trend line before it heads back up again.
However, the determining factor is most likely the Sun and it's activity.

Reviews for Backwoods Bonfire Bark
Sort By :
I made this bark yesterday for the first time!
I used these Make & Mold chocolate candy wafers instead of the semi-sweet chocolate. For me that worked well-I used a 14-oz. package. I did used the honey bear-shaped crackers (graham crackers), miniature marshmallows (I used 1 cup instead) and the dry roasted peanuts for this bark. I used a double boiler to melt the chocolate-I admit that I prefer to do that so that I can keep an eye on the chocolate mixture. I lined the baking sheet with waxed paper-(a baking sheet with a ledge)
and spread the melted chocolate out in prepared pan and added the bear grahamies,marshmmallows and peanuts!
Then I chilled the entire mixture! I sampled
the bark and it was very tasty! I'll definitely keep this recipe in mind for holidays or when I just feel like making some quick candy treats! I've also learned that when it's a hot day-keep candy chilled until ready to break apart and keep in the
container in refrigerator so that candy doesn't melt! Thank you for sharing this recipe! delowenstein
Might be good to add peanut butter or use reeses peanut butter cups!

Blogging – A Right Career Choice?
Blogging as a career option. Perhaps this is one of the very first things which we forsee when we decide to take up blogging. Well, many of us still take it as a hobby but somewhere along the way…a desire begins to build to give it a professional thought. It has happened to me and I am sure it happens with many of us.
Blogging was an alien terminology to me and I remember when I got to understand it fully, I was left with nothing except advices and tips to make money out of it. And I was still ok with it. Blogging is mostly about making money online and perhaps this is the single biggest reason why people find blogging as a lucrative career option. Blogging does pay off but to consider it as a full time career option…certainly..fills me with doubts and plenty of questions To me, blogging is one of the finest mediums to generate passive income but definitely not a better career prospect.
A career is a general progression of your working or professional life and I doubt, if blogging fulfills the same. Perhaps it does but still, I will never ever let anyone to choose blogging as a full time career option and I have my own reasons for the same.
Blogging is an alien concept and it fits well with the people in the west who unlike us have a better success rate with this thing. Online money making ideas work best for them and not for us. This is my personal observation. Not sure how you people see to it.
Online Money Making is truly one of the hardest activities on this planet. Many bloggers whom I have met in the past have been made to believe that blogging is one easiest ways to make quick bucks but truth is bitter than reality. It never is the same case. In fact, it takes years to build your blogging empire, gain the much needed reputation and ultimately, create a stable flow of income which ultimately should raise to a level where you are satisfied with your efforts and are more willing to choose it as a full time career option.
At times, I get this feeling that there is nothing like a stable income from this blogging thing. Money does come but it is never consistent, that is what I believe. Please clarify me and others on this if you feel that I have a wrong perception of the same.
Professional blogging is very demanding. It demands lots of skills plus many other qualities to keep it going and finally make it work as per your expectations. Its been a common observation from my side to see people especially professional bloggers coming up with 'n' number of blogs. The idea is to increase your scope of making money online which does work for most of them but a question often comes in my mind – Managing so many blogs…How do people do it ?? How do people manage to find time for those blogs? How??
Knowledge plus skill both is needed to survive in this blogging race on a long term basis. It is definitely not an overnite success saga. Infact it is place for those keep going against odds and prove their worth. To really make the most of your blogging journey, you need to have a goal and you have to keep yourself focused on the same. You need to have a solid, a rewarding niche to blog upon. Without these perquisites, you are bound to get lost in this made race. And certainly, there is nothing like fruitful career then.
Now, you may laugh at this but I strongly believe that blogging is relatively an emerging concept for we Indians. It is slowly but surely spreading its legs here in this country. But still, just imagine…what if marriages get broken with this blogging concept ? Funny….Isn't it ??
Being a blogger may be a status symbol for people in the west but definitely not here. We love to be called or termed as bloggers but there are still many who have never heard this term in their lifetime. And to make them understand, it requires helluva Patience. A very basic question comes to my mind – Will a Gal ever take a risk to marry any blogger? or a Guy who has never heard of this term before, will he ever marry a gal who is an avid blogger ?? In a country like India where no one thinks beyond Engineers and Doctors, where does this Blogging stand then
Imagine someone from larkiwala asking…larka kya karta hain??? And someone then replying.."Larka to hira hain hira…Blogging karta hain" How would it sound then? My first guess…it will sound as if the guy is into smuggling…hehe And then it would take months to get these terms understood to them…huh
Anyways, jokes apart. What I have put above is no nonsense. Blogging is certainly not a right career option for anyone out there. It can pay you the money but certainly it is not where you should be looking to build your career. It is always to better to keep it as a part time activity. Ofcourse, there are many who have proved its worth by making it as their full time career option. But those cases are rare and I just wonder how many of us have the ability to prove it again and again.

Nicely written post!! One thing if a girls family asks that I'd say I'm an internet entrepreneur the impression would be great. Anyhow, I seriously feel that blogging has got great potential, still the majority of the world doesn't use the net, so imagine the growth.
Yes like every business a blog too as ups and downs, but we must face it, and I totally agree with you that blogging is not that easy as other businesses, but the advantages are also the same, you can set up a blog for free and you have the chance to work from the comfort of your home.
And I seriously disagree that blogging is made for those in the west only, because the only thing that matters is knowledge, skill and hard work which people from any country can put in.
Reading through your blog, I felt that as if I was listening to my sister ( sorry for that ). When I told her that I would be blogging and earning, she said what if it fails. I was running an e-business and it did not work at all the way I wanted. But am I less convinced about the internet, I am not. I am more convinced that we are sitting on a revolution, which right now, us Indians unfortunately don't understand.
Why do you care that much about earning ? I am a total newbie to the blogging and i don't know where I am going. But I am sure that I will learn new things in future and enhance my skills. Maybe I will open a store for people to shop with these new skills. May be I will become a celebrity author.
i don't think you should write only for Indian audience as you are correct that it will not be read that much. Write for international audience. The things that the world is hooked in.
It is a lot of work ( it is now taking 18 hrs per day) and my wife hates me. She compares the recent XYLYS ad to my work. "Its the laptop that possesses you' She says ;). I am not looking for my day in the sun at the moment, I am just enjoying the breeze.
You are welcome at my blog http://aks-blog.com
A well written post Aswani liked the way you have written.But i think the scene has changed a lot these days as more and more people are taking up blogging as their career and even companies have also started hiring people for blogging.
I agree to what Vishal has said….. blogging is here to stay.
You have done it again Aswani you pick the right topic and lay it bare on the table blogging is here to stay but as a career choice may be for some my biggest concern about blogging and making money is that none of the so called top bloggers ever say how they made their money food for thoughts. A brilliant post.
Great post Aswani!. I agree with you when you say that blogging has need of a lot of time before to make an montly income. I took 4 year before to reach this result, and is still I'm working hard as when I started. The best thing is that you can work from your home and be free by your employer as well.
Why do you care that much about earning ? I am a total newbie to the blogging and i don't know where I am going. But I am sure that I will learn new things in future and enhance my skills. Maybe I will open a store for people to shop with these new skills. May be I will become a celebrity author. :* :* :*

I don't know if it's a good carier choice, but you're post is great. That's why you have to pick_up your award from my blog. Tongue out
Very nice post Aswani and well written too. Topic is very hot as blogging is a upcoming career here in India. Some of your points like marriage one is really interesting.
Personally, my son was doing well in blogging before joining his Accenture job last year but I asked him to join normal 9 to 5 job as I thought that its difficult to explain guys around you that what your son is doing?
Blogging is here to stay is right but difference between East and West will be there as internet literacy rate of India is very less as compared to West.
Anyway thanks for your nice post.

Dec. 17, 2012: At a Christmas party at Mike Pouncey's home, Martin says what began as inoffensive pushing and shoving with Richie Incognito escalated to play boxing. Incognito took off his shirt, tackled Martin onto a sofa, and began punching him in the body and the face, though not hard enough to bruise or draw blood. Martin's attorney called it a "malicious physical attack," but investigator Ted Wells says that characterization is "exaggerated."
Jan. 6, 2013: Martin was extremely upset by a series of text messages from Incognito, in which Incognito calls him a slut, makes a sexually offensive remark about Martin's sister and says he plans to defecate in Martin's mouth.
"He said that he read them to mean that if he remained on the Dolphins, he would suffer continued harassment and that this was not merely a rookie phenomenon," Wells wrote. Martin admits contemplating suicide.
Jan. 27, 2013: Martin sends his mother a text message, confiding: "I have really severe depression. There are many instances where I can't get out of bed."
April 6, 2013: In an April 6 voicemail that was later obtained by multiple media outlets, Incognito calls Martin a "half [N-word] piece of [expletive]."
April 22, 2013: Martin, in a text message to his mother: "I figured out a major source of my anxiety. I'm a pushover, a people pleaser. I avoid confrontation whenever I can, I always want everyone to like me. ... I just want to be alone. Everywhere I go, I get punked. I have a disagreeable personality. People are always annoyed by me."
April 26, 2013: Martin joins Incognito, Will Yeatman and Anthony Fasano for dinner and alleges Incognito makes jokes about slavery and uses the N-word in reference to him.
April 29, 2013: Martin texts his father: "People call me a [N-word] to my face. Happened two days ago. And I laughed it off. Because I am too nice of a person. They say terrible things about my sister. I don't do anything. I suppose it's white private school conditioning, turning the other cheek."
May 4, 2013: Martin joins Incognito, John Jerry, Pouncey and others for a trip on a rented yacht in Fort Lauderdale. Martin claims Pouncey and Incognito verbally humiliate him throughout the day and Incognito put him in a headlock.
May 5, 2013: Martin tells his mother: "I got punked again. And I never do anything about it. I was sobbing in a rented yacht bathroom earlier." Martin said he seriously considers suicide for the second time.
May 6, 7, 2013: Martin skips voluntary offseason workouts, meets with offensive line coach Jim Turner and coach Joe Philbin and tells them he's upset and thinking about whether to leave the sport. But he doesn't mention anything about being harassed. He soon begins taking Lexapro, which treats depression and anxiety.
June 9, 2013: Martin writes to his mother: "I just feel trapped. I'm losing my will to compete, which is the scariest thing an athlete can ever say."
Oct. 28, 2013: A day after not playing well in his first game since moving from left tackle to right tackle, Martin arrives in the cafeteria for dinner at 6 p.m. While he is waiting in line for food, Incognito calls out to him from the table, saying he did not want Martin to join the group, and that he should move his "stinky Pakistani [butt]'' and sit by himself. Moments later, at Incognito's urging, all of the linemen sitting at the table get up and walk away when Martin arrives.
Martin slams his tray on the floor and leaves the Dolphins facility. He buys a large bottle of vodka, sees a movie, buys a sandwich, then checks himself into a hospital "so his parents would know he was in a safe place and also because he believed that he might need medical attention because he suspected that he was acting irrationally." Philbin visits him at the hospital, but Martin does not tell him about the bullying.
Oct. 29, 2013: Martin exchanges text messages with general manager Jeff Ireland, who wrote: "Jonathan. Glad [you're] safe. You have a family of brothers that care very much for you. They meant [no] harm in [their] prank. We are all here for you."
Oct. 31, 2013: On a day the Dolphins defeat Cincinnati, Martin is released from Aventura Hospital and returns to California.
Nov. 1, 2013: Martin and Incognito exchange text messages. Martin says: "I'm good, man. It's insane, bro, but just know I don't blame you guys at all. It's just the culture around football, and the locker room got to me a little."
Incognito and Pouncey then exchange text messages, accusing Martin of snitching. "[Bleep] JMart," Incognito said. "That [gay slur] is never allowed back." Pouncey: "He's dead to me."
Nov. 2, 2013: Turner, via text messages, urges Martin to defend Incognito in a public statement. Over several days, offensive line coach Jim Turner pressures Martin to "DO THE RIGHT THING."… Philbin questions Incognito, who said Martin was his friend and denied the allegations that he harassed Martin.
Nov. 3, 2013: After learning about the April 6 voicemail, Philbin again meets with Incognito, who admits he left the message and made other vulgar and racially charged statements. Dolphins suspend Incognito for "conduct detrimental to the team." … Incognito urges Pouncey and Nate Garner to "please destroy the fine book first thing in the morning.'' That fine book, which was not destroyed, provides evidence that Incognito wanted to tease or taunt Martin to the point of getting an emotional reaction.
Nov. 6, 2013: Philbin allows players to comment about the matter to reporters, and many of them strongly defend Incognito.
Nov. 11, 2013: Owner Stephen Ross announces the creation of an advisory group to review the team's organizational-conduct policies.
Nov. 30, 2013: Dolphins place Martin on the Non-Football Injury list, with full pay.
Dec. 15, 2013: Dolphins announce Incognito will remain suspended for the rest of the season, with pay. The team has refused to pay him what he says he is owed under his contract (approximately $500,000) in connection with the first two weeks of his suspension.
Feb. 14, 2014: Wells released his report, which "concludes that three starters on the Dolphins offensive line, Richie Incognito, John Jerry and Mike Pouncey, engaged in a pattern of harassment directed at not only Jonathan Martin, but also another young Dolphins offensive lineman and an assistant trainer. The report finds that the assistant trainer repeatedly was the object of racial slurs and other racially derogatory language; that the other offensive lineman was subjected to homophobic name-calling and improper physical touching; and that Martin was taunted on a persistent basis with sexually explicit remarks about his sister and his mother and at times ridiculed with racial insults and other offensive comments.
"The report rejects any suggestion that Martin manufactured claims of abuse after the fact to cover up an impetuous decision to leave the team. Contemporaneous text messages that Martin sent to his parents and others months before he left the Dolphins — which have never before been made public — corroborate his account that the persistent harassment by his teammates caused him significant emotional distress. The report concludes that the harassment by Martin's teammates was a contributing factor in his decision to leave the team, but also finds that Martin's teammates did not intend to drive Martin from the team or cause him lasting emotional injury."

Shortlist of open source software used at NASA lab
The offer was too good to be true. Three whole weeks at the NASA Glenn Research Center and an invitation to come back. I could scarcely believe it when I read the email. I immediately forwarded it to my parents with an addition of around 200 exclamation points. They were all for it, so I responded to my contact, Herb Schilling, with a resounding "YES!"

LinuxCon Showcases Advances in Linux, Open Source
The Linux Foundation hosted its LinuxCon North America conference from Aug. 20 to 22 in Chicago, providing attendees with insight into the latest and greatest advancement in the Linux and open-source worlds. The event kicked off with the Linux Foundation's executive director, Jim Zemlin, announcing a new Linux certification program. The two new designations are the Linux Foundation Certified System Administrator (LFCS) and Linux Foundation Certified Engineer (LFCE). During his keynote address, Zemlin also provided insight into what the Linux Foundation does and what his role is within the Linux community. The highlight for many attendees at any LinuxCon event is the opportunity to see and hear Linux creator Linus Torvalds speak. At the 2014 event, Torvalds, speaking on a Linux kernel developer panel, declared that he is still interested in seeing the Linux desktop succeed. Looking beyond just Linux, the CEO of education platform edX explained why the future of education is open and how his company has fully embraced the open-source model. An open model of collaboration is also being embraced in the automotive industry by startup Local Motors. Jay Rogers, CEO of Local Motors, explained how his company is aiming to revolutionize the automotive industry with crowdsourcing techniques. In this slide show, eWEEK looks back on some of the highlights of the LinuxCon North America 2014 event.

the best reviews
their picks
what to buy
There aren't many professional reviews of beginner tennis rackets, probably because novices either quit the game or wind up upgrading to an intermediate racket when they no longer need as much help getting the ball over the net. We found the only professional review of the Head Liquidmetal 8 at Tennis-Warehouse.com. Helpful user reviews can be found at Amazon.com and SportsAuthority.com.
The Head Liquidmetal 8 tennis racket receives solid ratings from tennis professionals and amateurs who say it offers more power than an intermediate racket and more control than a "game-improvement" beginner racket. At 9.3 ounces, the Liquidmetal is fairly lightweight, and the liquid metal inside various points of the head's frame adds power. Many users say their game improved with this racket, although detractors are dissatisfied with its power or control. The Head Liquidmetal 8 is suitable for players with USTA ratings of 2.0 to 4.5. If you want more power but want to stay in the same general price range, reviewers point to the discontinued but still widely available Wilson N1 (*est. $100). If you're looking for more control, the Prince O3 Speedport Red (*est. $220) gets good reviews, but costs more than twice as much.

Volleyball Makes Quick Work of Morris Brown, Win 3-0
Oct. 15, 2000
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Jacksonville University Volleyball team made quick work of Morris Brown as the Dolphins defeated the visiting Lady Wolverines, 15-2, 15-1, 15-7, Sunday afternoon at Swisher Gymnasium.
The Dolphins improved to 11-6 on the year while Morris Brown fell to 5-18. Freshman outside hitter Kelly Ryals (Gainesville, Fla.) led all players with six kills as the match took just 53 minutes to complete.
JU's defense kept Morris Brown at bay throughout the match as the Lady Wolverines hit -.173 during the match. Sophomore Brooke Ahrens (Benson, Ill.) tied Ryals to lead the Dolphin defense with five digs.
Senior Juanita Barb (Sarasota, Fla.), who saw her most extensive action after injuring her ankle in preseason practice, had four kills, four digs and a match-high four service aces.
Tiffany Jones led Morris Brown with four kills while Terrica Cook paced the club with a match-best seven digs.
The Dolphins return to action on Friday, Oct. 20 when they play host to TAAC opponent Campbell at 7:30 p.m. in Swisher Gymnasium.

S- 2008 bottle to snifter
A- Darker than many of his beers, however, not as dark as I expected. It is a pretty brilliant amber that practically glows. Medium sized head with noticeably soapy bubbles.
S- The first thing I notice is basement funk and a lot of it. This is followed by some signs of oxidation, with a toffee aroma. Perhaps the cocoa is at work here too? There is a bit of tartness here, as well.
T- This is way different from what I expected. And really, really good. Super tart, classic fantome green apple and funk with some citrus notes too. A nice sweetness to balance it, and a little bit of chile on the finish.
M- The carbonation is medium to high, and very pleasant.
O- This was really enjoyable. Thanks Dany!

Pours a translucent brown tinted dark orange... coarse carbonation seems to struggle to get to the surface, where it has no change of sticking around. Looks great in its own way. Smell: lemon peel, sweet orange, mildly lactic, whiff of fresh green pepper (bell, not chili), spice. Interesting. Taste: when cool it's straight sour peach and orange peel - lots of acid. Warmer, a bready backing emerges along with oily tongue coating (but mild) pepper.. still a huge sour peach aspect. Very small goat cheese note in the finish. Hmm, the cocoa... there's just a tiny bit of cocoa midsip after the last pour (however the thick layer of sediment still in the bottle smells distinctly of cocoa...should have swirled this one I guess), but this is delicious. Full bodied, doesn't look terribly carbonated but it is, just right.

Pours thick, hazy orange in color, one finger fluffy head with big bubbles rising up at first. Settles to a thin lace rather fast, moderately sticky.
Barnyard funk in the smell, hay, green grass, but heavier spicy yeasts too. Citrus peel and zest, hint of chocolate, a bit of boiled veggies.
Taste is citrusy at first, with a bit of orange sweetness and some sour lemons (lots of peel), some apples too, keeping it fresh afterwards with the expected green farmhouse funk, not really that strong tho. It's also mixed with doughier yeasts that give off quite a decent amount of clove and peppercorn. Finish is dry, with some unexpected (but not bad) hints of smoked malts and a touch of hops.
Mouthfeel is full, oily, extremely thick and chewy, but it doesn't really feel heavy, it's weird. The beer coats the whole mouth and somehow gives the (untraceable) chocolate enough time to finally show its face in the back, lingering in the aftertaste. Chilli peppers are absent, maybe they enhance the prickle of the carbonation, but it's hard to tell.
Wasn't sure what to expect from this one. The "weird" components aren't that obvious, but the end result is a nice tasty complex beer, with some pretty unique notes.

On a visit to Colorado, a good friend and I stopped at a liquor store and inquired about Fantome after spotting the Christmas. They brought this out, making a mention that this was one of a managers "white whales" of beers. I love Fantome, so it didn't make much of a difference.
I was going to buy it.
Pours from the bottle a rich honey, to light amber. Wasn't really sure what to expect. The head fizzes up but dissipates down rather quickly and remains as a thin off white, creamy film over the top. Bubbles lace very inconsistently and most at a great distance to one another. A slight orangey in tone, nothing too unusual for a saison.
The nose is struck very prominently but a green bottle, slightly yeasty, nearly sour ale funk. There is a bit of grass and mingling citrus fruit with grapefruit and orange. But the smell alone worries me a bit with the funk. I'm not getting any chocolate, or any noticeable peppers... It is a tad vegetal. It does change and becomes more complex as it warms.
The taste! What a surprise! This is not funked out by the green bottle exposure at all. Completely recognizable as a Fantome. The Fantome yeast is quite apparent in all it's earthiness and funkiness. There is a pinch of damp woodsy, logs. Like a forest after a gentle rain. I catch a tad amount of cocoa but it is twisted into the earthy yeast and this sort of ashiness. The peppers are not hot but quite vegetal. This beer is also citrusy, lemony and grapefruity and a bit of orange... and... AND it is a tad sour. In a good way! Not a bad, 'oops, messed up and now the beer is sour way'. No this tastes good and comes off as possibly intentional to me. Very complex... very saison... very Fantome. So much nuance it is ridiculous.
Mouthfeel is great, just a pinch dry. A mild, mouthwatering sourness. Foamy, refreshing, and easy to drink. Just as a saison should be. It is a tad sweet but it is not sticky or offending. It is just really clean cut and nice.
In the end... another magnificent Fantome saison. All the little things happening in this beer make it a great choice and a must try... even a beer at $15 that I would not hesitate to buy again if I have the chance. Who cares if the appearance is profound and the smell isn't clear or telling. The taste is mind-blowing.

Lessons for the World From a New Gaza War
Update 2: Perhaps Hamas was hoping for a spectacular provocation. After Egyptian Prime Minister Hesham Kandil arrived for a visit to the Gaza Strip, November 15, Hamas launched a barrage of rockets and mortars at Israel, perhaps trying to provoke an Israeli counterattack that might shake up or even injure the Egyptian leader and get Cairo to escalate its involvement in the war.
Update 1: A few sirens went off in Tel Aviv around 6:30 PM, November 15 — not the whole system or the one outside my window but those a few blocks away — and didn't stay on very long. Then there were two loud but short booms, the sound of anti-rocket missiles being fired. Rumors followed.
This being the age of social media, people insisted that something must have happened because somebody in California said so. Some people said with certainty that a rocket hit in this or that place; one claimed he saw the smoke from a building that had been struck. In the end, it was announced that a rocket from the Gaza Strip had been shot down far to the south. The atmosphere was reminiscent of 1991 when three dozen Iraqi rockets did hit Israel, one of them a few blocks from my home, and anti-missile batteries could be heard nightly firing at incoming missiles from Iraq.
Of course, there's nothing funny about a war. Less than an hour's drive to the south people are under fire. There are casualties on both sides, including civilians. This is a serious matter, made no less so by its relative familiarity. Yet there is a difference between the horrors of war and imagining away a conflict, an inescapable situation, because one wants to do so. Only by confronting the reality can there be the best possible response to a crisis. Wishful thinking or ignoring real conflicts makes things worse.
A key to the problem of Western comprehension of international realities is admirably summarized by a New York Times editorial on the subject:
No country should have to endure the rocket attacks that Israel has endured from militants in Gaza, most recently over the past four days. The question is how to stop them permanently.
The answer to that question is simple to understand, if not easy to implement. The attacks can only be stopped if Hamas is removed from power and replaced, given contemporary circumstances, by the Palestinian Authority (PA). The PA is certainly no prize, but that's a reasonable goal for what is often referred to as the international community.
Yes, Hamas won an election in 2007, but then it staged a violent coup and threw out the opposition, and has thus governed as an unelected dictatorship. It has no legal basis, since Hamas never accepted the Oslo Accords agreements. Hamas is also a terrorist group. And it daily voices not only its opposition to Israel's existence but also advocates — and teaches the children of Gaza to carry out some day — the commission of genocide against all Jews.
So the answer to the Times' question is a no-brainer, right? Of course, this response is not what the Times has in mind.

Dear Israel:
Killl them all. Kill them now. Sent official regrets later. The concept peacaeful coexistence with a peaceful Palestinian nation is delusional. Tell the effete Western Europeans to shove it. Tell the greater Arab world that their klcontinued existence is in question.
I'm more subtle and nuancy and all that stuff. I suggest Israel announce a policy of land for rockets. Divide Gaza into a grid of 1 km^2 squares. For each rocket that comes over the border, Israel seizes a square kilometer of their choosing and annexes it, and drives the residents out. Start with the square closest to Sderot. Eventually, they'll get squoze out of proximity to Sderot, and other targets. When all that's left is their tunnels, it becomes Egypt's problem. The problem will eventually be solved, one way or another.November 15, 2012 - 7:43 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

re: land for rockets: I'm in favor of it.
Of course, your suggested policy would "solve" the problem a bit too quickly. The entire Gaza Strip is 360 square kilometers in area. How many rockets were fired at Israel over the past few days?
I don't know how this could be implemented, particularly with immediate feedback (i.e. one rocket an hour ago = one less square kilometer now). But I'd like to see it tried.November 15, 2012 - 8:23 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

Let the population in Gaza remove hamas from power. How? Every time hamas attacks Israel destroy the complete infrastructure. No telephone, water, television, electricity, gasoline-stations and roads and control imports. I wonder how much time it would take until the population turns against its own "government." They don't seem to care about human casualties, but make them live without telephone and internet and cars and they may come to their senses.November 16, 2012 - 3:53 am Link to this Comment | Reply
This is silly. If you are going to fight, do it all at once rather than behaving like a machine producing only so much change at a time. People learn how best to fight you if you fight them slowly.
So much for theory — you now know why in theory this sort of measured approach can be expected to fail. Now for the practice. I lived through the Vietnam war and the US was always "escalating" its war effort by this or that measured amount in response to provocations from the other side. All this "tit for tat" approach did was to allow the other side to choose when and where they attacked. The slow ramp-up of our war effort also gave them time to figure out how to counter it. Eventually they found our greatest vulnerability — the unwillingness of young US adults to be drafted into a war with no obvious victory in sight — and then used that to beat us in Vietnam.
In short, if you choose blood and death as your response (and at times that is the only choice that makes sense) do it all the way. Pretending that "We're just doing this much extra because you did that when told not to" is a very bad idea.November 16, 2012 - 2:12 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

Helping the Muslim Brotherhood into power is what got Ambassador Stevens killed. That's what they're hiding.
Look, the world will not allow us to defend ourselves, so nothing is new under the sun. Ask yours truly if she cares…
But Tel Avivians (and the Gush Dan region) have to understand that their 'cousins' in the south have been enduring terror for over a decade. And the fact of the matter is this – there is NO doubt that Bibi and Barak will up the ante, now that TA is in the cross hairs.
Now, far be it for this blogger to not want fellow Israelis to be able to sip their lattes in peace, but fair is fair.
At the end of the day our leadership will do what they should have done yrs ago, but only because TA is in play!!

I'd say you could safely say,all of them. this is the price we have paid for unfettered Muslim immigration. I think that anyone who protests and causes riots in a western nation should b permanently shown the door, even if they were born in a western democracy.

The real problem is what happens once they come here, not how many. Here in the U.S., immigrants assimilate very quickly into the broader culture–they speak the language, marry other groups, and move up in economic status. The obvious exception is the Mexicans, but that is due to leftist politics which seeks to segregate groups from each other.
My mother is the brown-skinned child of Italian immigrants. She was born in the U.S., her native language is English, and she married my dad, a standard blonde American of mixed descent from the British Isles (I look like a red-headed Irishman).
This sort of thing does not happen in Europe due to leftist politics, and so look at the results. I find it difficult to sympathize with the Europeans (and Obama voters for that matter) because they voted for those politicians. Its their own damn fault.November 16, 2012 - 4:25 am Link to this Comment | Reply

I think they fired on Tel Aviv and its surrounding cities because our media said the IDF destroyed the majority of the Fajr rockets (the Iranian-made medium-range rockets that can reach Tel Aviv), so they wanted to prove they still have the capability and create doubts and demoralize us. It's psychological warfare.
I live in the south and it's suspiciously quiet for a while now, maybe a couple of hours. I wonder what's happening. Since sundown there have been rocket attacks every few minutes. There were two attacks while I was smoking one cigarette. There were 3 attacks while I was out getting some groceries. So it's odd there hasn't been one for a while. What's going on? There must be a reason.
Don't expect the West to learn from our experience. Unfortunately, they will only learn from theirs. And I mean through their own blood. They like their bubble too much to give it up unless there's absolutely no choice. So as long as the consequences are experienced by others they prefer to "rationalize" it by demonizing us. They choose to believe we're not like them – we're evil, blood-thirsty Nazis, and stupid too – and that "explains" why it's happening to us (but can never happen to them), so they don't need to think about it any more, just continue babbling their stupid platitudes on autopilot like they always do. But since they like the Islamists so much that not only they support the jihad against us and welcome every new Islamist regime in the region, but also import them to their own countries and place them in strategic positions in their administrations and security institutions, it's only a matter of time till bad things start happening to them more frequently. They're just dumb beyond imagination, infinitely stupid, so there's really nothing good or sensible to expect from them. That's what happens when you let the intellectuals run the asylum.November 15, 2012 - 8:31 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

First, let me state for the record that I do not believe that Israel has allies anywhere in the world. That includes Mr. Obama's America. The American people may, indeed, support Israel in general, but the Administration only pays lip service.
Second, Turkey will support the Muslim Brotherhood, as their Foreign Minister has already demonstrated. His hypocrisy of claiming Israel is the aggressor certainly comports with Turkey's recent actions against Syria [sarc]. Turkey wants more power in the general Middle East, and Israel is an easy, cost free, target.
Third, much to the consternation of the left wing elite in Europe and America, no one, including themselves, can successfully negotiate with Salafist and MB types unless the Westerners have already decided to submit to the Islamists. Remember, according to the Qu'ran, the only good infidel is dead, enslaved, or converted.November 15, 2012 - 9:33 pm Link to this Comment | Reply
Hamas will never stop until they have exterminated Israel,so it would only be more incompetence on Israel's part to capitulate under pressure from their hypocrite friends before ending Hamas forever
Israel's continued existence and prosperity on land once under Muslim domination exposes Islam for the lie that it is.
If allah is truly God then how could 'infidels' take his/their land and be so blessed and prosperous unlike their surrounding, backwards Arab, Muslim neighbors.
The pride and the jealousy of the shamed religion of hate is unquenchable.
This is the crux of the problem and why there will never be peace until Islam is gone.
Only then will there be real,lasting peace between Arab and Jew.November 16, 2012 - 2:11 am Link to this Comment | Reply

Gaza is filled now with numerous terrorists/terror orgs (Hamas the old guard- the new guard from Syria (via Dubai)-PFLP from Syria-Islamic Jihadis- Salafists who murdered the Italian for Gaza chap). One way to deal terrorists regimes is to stop supporting them in Gaza- since 1948 (while Egyptian)UNRWA has made sure the Gazans have Section 8.housing-a real reason they do not want to disembark from their 'refugee camps'-healthcare- schooling- assistance and on top of that they have EU contributing assistance- AL contributing- Saudis contributing for martyrs'families,hospital bills, now Qatar PM and FM Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jobor al-Thani is opening his wallet for Gazans wanting Israel to be punished for defending itself and bypassing questions how could Hamas et al. smuggle all the missiles-Farj rocket,mortars,Katyusha rockets through the tunnels from Egypt to Gaza. Arsenal caches all over the place. Egypt's MB/Nour=Salafists are responsible- Iran+ Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps are responsible- UN is responsible- AL is responsible for fomenting/aiding/abetting Hamas et al and MB all over ME -Hizbollah and The Quartet- never making Hamas et al. even to ackowledge Israel's Right to Exist as a Nation.November 15, 2012 - 10:23 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

How do you think all those young men buying and firing rockets support themselves? The answer: with Muslim oil money. So, eliminate all the Muslim oil producing infrastructure — which could be done with remarkably small loss of life — and the lack of cash forces these rocketeers to stop what they're doing and get a real job. Middle-East oil is only about 20% of the world's total oil supply, so the rest of us could do without it — it won't be fun but it's by no means catastrophic.
The basic problem with the Middle East today is that, after a few decades of indecision, too many Muslims have decided to use their oil wealth to conquer the world in the name of Allah. Take away that oil wealth, and they will adopt a more realistic attitude.
Oh, you could also nuke Mecca and Medina to show them that God is not necessarily on their side, but that's optional. Destroying their ability to produce oil is not.November 16, 2012 - 2:27 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

Interesting how the EU can send $6 billion to Egypt while Europe is in such a downward spiral. Is the the jizya they are paying ?
Morsi and Mubarak turned a blind eye to the weapons and missiles being smuggled into Gaza.
Israel looks to Egypt as some kind of fair broker between infidel Jew and M.Brotherhood brothers for jihad against the occupiers of Muslim lands.
The naivety of looking to Egypt is bordering on national suicide.
Friday the Egyptian PM is coming to Gaza, what if he has a pre-planned 'accident' with the blame placed on Israel as a pretext for Egypt's intervention to rescue Hamas from Israel's rod of correction ?

Sooner or latter Israel will have no choice but get involve in a regional war. Egypt can't survive on charity from the west its economy is already collapsed, eventually Egyptians will revolt against their rulers, since the brotherhood is in charge, they wont make the same mistake as Mubarak's. In order to pacify the populace they may try to pick a fight with Israel. Or Most likely Assad will be cornered and he will drag Israel and Lebanon even Turkey into the conflict. We are also seeing Iran trying to provoke Israel through its surrogates. The question is what Hussein O will do? does he throws Israel under the bus? He may. I'm afraid we are reliving the second part of the 1930′s. This time around The American Jewish community can get the satisfaction of reelecting Hussein O as they did FDR.

History clearly shows that wars end when one side is unable or unwilling to continue to fight. The 'civilized' world has always stopped Israel before it completed the job of defeating those who attacked it.

It would be nice to believe Egypt can get Gaza under control . Iran is the real monster. Obama now can prove his love for Israel by who he picks as new head of the CIA and if a few nukes are needed against Iran to stop Satan's lust to wipe Israel off the map then so be it with all Islam paring God Is GREAT for it is easy for them to understand the need for almighty power figure of speech yet maybe nukes will not be needed and Iran will understand the need for bowing before the greater coming of Solomon the wise I believe

A ruthlessly realistic article Barry. Israelis must feel like they are caught in a version of Groundhog Day set in Hell. I just read an account of the 67 War, and the most obvious thing is that the West has gone backwards since those days. Viewed through the lens of postcolonialism Israel is always the aggressor, even sincerely seen as the new Nazis. The other side the eternal innocent victims no matter what they do, no matter that they openly conspire to make war, shoot rockets with impunity, and express absolutist genocidal intentions. Meanwhile in the West – in Europe, in America, even here in Australia the colonialist Muslims are colonizing the postcolonial West.

Mr. Rubin – excellent analysis and you've clarified group think as exercised in the capitals of the West. Israel is unique in its patience and self-examination. By the grace of God, I am not yet in Israel's shoes and all the calls for a Hannibal solution notwithstanding, while I share them, I will not pay the price. Not since 1967 has Israel faced what it is facing today and that without guaranteed U.S. support – were I in Israel's position, I would not trust the United States to come to my aid. I do, however, trust in the Israeli strategic war capability and clear-sightedness. May God keep His hand over his chosen ones and guide them.November 18, 2012 - 2:24 am Link to this Comment | Reply
