Gonna just have some fun here read at your own expense :)
So you want the truth about Matt Millen YOU WANT THE TRUTH! you can handle the truth...no truth handler you BA...I derive your truth handling abillitys... but ok POD I will tell you the deepest secret kept in the NFL the skelton in the closet. You see matt millen isn't human no he is much more than that are losing goes beyond the city of detroit it starts in the bowels of Oakland after the 1980 draft. Al davis and John Madden have the devious plan to create the linbacker of there dreams with Al davis giving project millen his black heart and bat shit craziness adding in Maddens football intelligence and player evaluation skills. The truth is Matt Millen was the greatest Linebacker ever he could pick apart defenses and eliminate players weaknesses he is a monster of pure Evil. It starts with Joe Montana you see Joe was the becon of all that was good and as we know good and evil cannot co-exsist. Millen and Joe battled many times with Millen trying to destroy him Joe cool even tried to hide his identity in a KC uniform to catch him by suprise all attempts failed and Joe was forced into retirement by the beatings at the hands of project millen. From that day foreward Millen vowed to never let another player become that becon of hope again. So he and the evil Al davis formed a plan Al would control the west coast and millen everything east of texas. Millen tricked william clay ford into thinking the monster was qualified for a job that everyone knew he was not and taking full control of the detroit lions.
Millen quickly devised the plan that would rid himself of the great barry sanders knowing he could not beat him physicaly he changed his playbook knowing that without the ball the great sanders would become frustrated and leave voulantarly because his powers would fade without the sacred object. Millen then went on a full tear to destroy all the talent he could get his hands on belive it or not Matt Millen is the greatest talent evaluator of all time and he purposely took those talents to make sure that evil still prevailed over the NFL. Some of the things millen had done were low and disgusting at that. He took the great Shaun Rogers hunger for opposing Qbs and turned it into a hunger for fast food!, He took MSU wide reciver charles rogers collar bone OUT and left him unconcious in a bath tub of ice forcing him into a drug crazed panic to relive the pain. Millen also stole the hands of texas wide reciver Roy Williams and gave him the hands of jerry jones thats why jerry needed him in dallas to get his hands back. This creature actually removed the brains of mike williams and hid them in the head of pete caroll thats why pete signed him to get his body back! He purposely hired what would have been one of the greatest coaches of all time in steve mariucci and buried him to make sure Favre or any of his Qbs never became the same becon montana was. Then it happend he found the "light" deep within the golden heart of Joey Harrington knowing he had to destroy it he took several steps, he put glue on the hands of LT jeff backus to assure holding penaltys so that Joey could not make the plays that were a sure thing, then he hired out to have Joey beatin down to weakin him going as far as paying off the KGB. With Harrington weak Millen removed the golden heart of joey melting it into a ball and burying it in the concrete walls of the new ford field.
Then a few years later a hero was discovered who decided it had to end he would purposley be drafted by either the raiders or the lions either way assuring defeat, his name CALVIN JOHNSON. Calvin was the greatest talent millen had ever seen and new it would be a battle to the end so he hired a bumbling headcoach to take them to 0-16 knowing megatrons only weakness was losing, Calvin fought and fought trying to keep his head high striking blow after blow millen stumbled on his feat as Calvin finally struck his final blow knocking him out. Calvin being the last man standing vowed to help rebuild the city in shambles along side the only other survivor in the fight innocent bystander Martin Mayhew.
Don't be fooled ladies and gentelman Project Millen still roams the earth and still seeks to fulfill his vowe, he could strike at anytime. It could be Andrian Peterson it could be Chris Johnson, Maurice Jones-Drew or even Barry sanders jr. Rumor has it he already has a replacment in the works named the Jmarc project he wasn't fired you really think he's a lazy bum who dosen't show up for camp..no thats what they want you to belive he is currently deep in the the Davis labratorys being converted in to a beast of pure melovolence. Keep your eyes open should you see millen take caution and call Team Calvin as he and his partners Stafford, Pettigrew, Delmas, Levy, Best and Suh have set out to end project millen and the evil curse left behind.

The Michigan Wolverines continued to trail the Virginia Tech Hokes 6-0 in the 2012 Sugar Bowl. After getting the ball back after stopping the Hokies on a 4th-and-1 in the redzone, the Michigan offense finally broke a big play when Denard Robinson kept the ball on a read option play, picking up 16 yards. The Wolverines find themselves failing to pick up a third and long, but thanks to a personal foul for roughing the punter, Michigan got new life.
Michigan continued to struggle picking up yards on the ground, but then Denard Robinson picked up a third down in the air to continue the drive. A few plays later, Michigan once again on third and long, Michigan dropped back to pass, eluded a tackler and
just chucked the ball in the air hit wide receiver Junior Hemingway for a 45-yard touchdown pass.

A spring is certainly present in a lot of Londoners steps right now. They're pleased to hear that they can party all night and take multiple methods of transport home rather than dashing for the last tube or trying to find where that night bus goes from. However, there are so many issues with this idea.
Have you ever heard of Sir Edgar Speyer? The chances are that unless you have stayed at his former sprawling home on the North Norfolk coast where his story and sad demise is displayed in the lobby - now the splendid Sea Marge Hotel where I first heard of him - it is unlikely that his name will be familiar to you.

A normal distribution is a distribution that is bell-shaped and symmetrical. The mean, median, and mode are all the same and coincide with the peak of the curve. The frequencies then gradually decrease at both ends of the curve. The normal distribution is also often called the bell-shaped curve because of its shape.
Properties Of The Normal Distribution
One of the most noticeable characteristics of the normal distribution is its shape and perfect symmetry. Notice that if you fold the picture of the normal distribution exactly in the middle, you have two equal halves, each a mirror image of the other. This also means that one half of the observations in the data fall on each side of the middle of the distribution.
The midpoint of the normal distribution is the point that has the maximum frequency. That is, it is the number or response category with the most observations for that variable. The midpoint of the normal distribution is also the point at which three measures fall: the mean, median, and mode. In a perfect normal distribution, these three measures are all the same number.
In all normal or nearly normal distributions, there is a constant proportion of the area under the curve lying between the mean and any given distance from the mean when measured in standard deviation units. For instance, in all normal curves, 99.73 percent of all cases will fall within 3 standard deviations from the mean. 95.45 percent of all cases will fall within 2 standard deviations from the mean, and 68.27 percent of cases will fall within 1 standard deviation from the mean.
Normal distributions are often represented in standard scores (Z scores). Z scores are numbers that tell us the distance between an actual score and the mean in terms of standard deviations. The standard normal distribution has a mean of 0.0 and a standard deviation of 1.0.
Even though the normal distribution is theoretical, there are several variables that researchers study that closely resemble a normal curve. For example, standardized test scores such as the SAT, ACT, and GRE typically resemble a normal distribution. Height, athletic ability, and numerous social and political attitudes of a given population also typically resemble a bell-shaped curve.

Upper Bridal Veil Falls is the natural ice that forms during periods of very cold weather. It comes in just right of the main falls and is climbable about once every 3 years.
Approach by hiking the trail to the East or climbing Bridal Veil Falls to the upper bowl. The Upper Falls form up just right of the main falls. Descend by rappeling from bolts placed for ice farming projects (2 ropes). You can also hike West to a gully that heads down some moderate ice and snow. You can avoid rappeling the lower section by traversing the terraces a bit to get down to the bottom of the Upper Falls basin.

I've got used to ask technical questions to expert folks here and they have helped me a lot on the inclusion of the road racing discipline on my menu of cycling equipment and skills. Before I give details so you can answer the title questions I will give you an update about my latest decisions:
I am riding a Canyon Ultimate CF. Couldn't be happier with the bike, light, confortable, stiff and responsive. Great bike.
After a period using my XTR pedals on the road bike I needed to buy new shoes and decided to go for Look Keo 2 Max with grey cleats. It took me a lot of time to adjust the left foot cleat (maybe next one will be red), but now I am pretty happy and definitely feel that it was a good move. The road pedals give me noticeable more support.
Now...data for your help on the flp:
- We don't have a lot of mountains in Panama, so races here are usually flat to hilly
- We have time ITT and TTTs I am using my road bike with aero bars for them
- We don't have criteriums (last year we had just one).
- Races are about 100km long on my category.
- I want to use the wheels both for the TT and the road races
- Roads are usually kind of rough around here
and finally....I am not a light climby guy (185 cm & 79 kg)
- Don't focus solely on price...I am looking for good value and definetely perfomance.
I don't even now if I go for clinchers or tubulars......thanks in advance for sharing your expertise.

Fluminense became the first team in Brazilian Serie A history to be relegated as reigning champions despite recording a final-day victory.
Dorival Junior's men did everything they could to keep their survival hopes alive by beating Bahia 2-1, but Coritiba's 1-0 win over Sao Paulo saw Fluminense relegated.
Fluminense had fallen behind just before half-time to a William Barbio goal, but strikes from Wagner and Samuel turned things around only for the final whistle to bring disappointment.
They will be joined in Serie B next season by Vasco de Gama, who were thrashed 5-1 by Atletico Paranaense.
The match - being held in Joinsville due to past problems between the fans - was overshadowed by violence in the stands that saw at least three people hospitalised and the game delayed for over an hour.
A fifth-minute Manoel header put Paranaense ahead, but once the game had restarted Vasco drew level through Edmilson.
Ederson's goal just before the break and three second-half strikes sealed the win for Atletico and a Copa Libertadores place.
Botafogo will also feature in the Copa Libertadores if Ponte Preta fail to win the Sudamericana after the former recorded a 3-0 victory over 10-man Criciuma. Clarence Seedorf scored the final goal in a comfortable victory.
The top two - Cruzeiro and Gremio - ended the season with respective draws against Flamengo and Portuguesa, while a Walter Montillo double helped Santos to a 3-0 win over 10-man Goias.
Elswehere, Atletico Mineiro and Vitoria shared four goals in a thrilling encounter in Belo Horizonte.
Vitoria raced into a 2-0 lead inside six minutes, but Mineiro produced a stunning comeback with Ronaldinho grabbing a goal at the end of either half.
Already relegated Ponte Preta picked up a 0-0 draw with Internacional, while Nautico ended the campaign with a fifth win as they beat Corinthians 1-0.

It just occurred to me after reviewing our 10 picks that only 1 is from what any of us might call a NCAA College Football Factory - and that would be Chris Ellis DE from VT in the 3rd.
Forgetting the players we drafted and the postions they play, if I gave you a GPS or access to Mapquest, who could even find these schools, let alone find an NFL quality player there:
Troy, Akron, Iowa St, NW Missouri, Northwestern St.
Even our large school picks are from less than stellar D1 Football programs:
Indiana, Kansas, Pitt, Kentucky
Makes you wonder what our scouts were looking for - and IMHO the following epitomizes what that "it" is.
Prior to the draft there were some minor red flags on USC's TE Fred Davis for being "not too excited about playing football" and his "Hollywood Posse". He chose to be a Day 3 no show at Redskins Minicamp. Meanwhile Derek Fine was at OBD showing that, while he may not be great at any one thing, he is happy to simply have the chance to be a "football player". This "it" factor also showed through in our post Draft Rookie FA signings.
Kudos to OBD so far on finding guys that want to be here and truly appreciate the opportunity. Like the old saying states "Football doesn't build character, it reveals it".

TEAMS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
While meeting with the media today, Buccaneers' general manager Mark Dominik said LeGarrette Blount will not attend practice and will undergo an MRI today on his neck and back.
Per the report on Buccaneers.com, Dominik also confirmed it is not concussion related. The team is covering all angles and taking every approach to make sure LeGarrette Blount is in fact OK. Kevin O'Donnell of Fox 13 tweeted Blount was in an elementary school on Tuesday playing with the kids and showed no signs of injury, which sounds like he's OK.
So again, how serious is this supposed ailment (if on exists) LeGarrette Blount is experiencing?
The Bucs can not afford an injury to Blount. He and Doug Martin have the opportunity to be one of the best backfields in the NFL this season.
Within 24 hours, the results of the MRI exam should be released. More answer should be provided then, if anything at all is revealed.
The post LeGarrette Blount to get an MRI done Wednesday. appeared first on The Bay Cave.

Select Area...
Duke's Wall
North Face
Southwest Alcove
This is usually not crowded. The rock here is better and more stable than the rock at The Palace, although I'm not sure what type. There are at least 4 or 5 two pitch sport routes here, and I believe there are a few single pitch routes around the corner of the main wall.
Getting There
Head up CO Highway 14 (aka Poudre Canyon) west of Ft. Collins. A short while after you pass the Mishawaka Amphitheatre, you will go through a tunnel. There are pull-offs right after the tunnel on the right and left side. The great thing about this place is you don't have to cross the river!! After parking, walk north along the west side of the road and you'll come across some purple ropes which will help you to climb up the rocks. Follow the trail (not a great trail, marked by stacked rocks) up to the big wall that lies before you, and have fun!

It's generally excepted, that when away from for an extended period from the population from which one would generally select their lovers, that all bets are off. Prison would certainly be an example…or perhaps the navy. San Francisco during the California Gold Rush of the mid 19th century would also be able to stake it's claim. During a period when the surroundings were devoid of women, with the exception of a few highly in demand prostitutes, a man had to make due. Flying the red at the dance let the man in blue know that you were comfortable assuming the female role.
Fear is at the root of man's destruction of himself. Without Fear there is no blame. Without blame there is no conflict. Without conflict there is no destruction.
But there IS Fear: deep within the core of every human being it lurks like a monster, dark and intangible. Its outward effects are unmistakable. Its source is hidden.

ST. TAMMANY PARISH, LA (WVUE) - Federal prosecutors arrest a man from just outside Abita Springs for running international child porn websites.
The man's family said they're shocked by the allegations. The family members who spoke to FOX 8 asked to remain anonymous.
Prosecutors said Jonathan Johnson, 27, was the architect of a digital child exploitation enterprise that routinely preyed upon young boys, producing and distributing pornographic videos of minors and coaching others on strategies to coerce underage boys into participating in sexual acts.
"He never seemed like he would have been a sick type of person," a family member said. "He was caring, took care of his parents."
The U.S. Attorney's office says Johnson operated an international child exploitation enterprise right out of his St. Tammany Parish home.
"It's more than I would have ever expected," a family member said.
According to court documents, prosecutors said Johnson operated two websites that allowed members to upload and share sexually explicit videos of minor boys.
The websites also allegedly provided tutorials on how to coerce minors into performing and recording sexual acts and how to evade law enforcement.
"I don't believe half the stuff I heard, all these members, and that. There's no way. He would have had some super computers or something like that, and I don't think he was working at the time. He kinda had a junky computer," a family member said.
Documents provided by the U.S. Attorney's office said they confiscated a Acer laptop computer, a Cyber Power PC tower, a Apevia tower, a Seagate 3TB external hard drive, a Western Digital external hard drive, a Samsung tablet computer and a Samsung cell phone.
Prosecutors said the websites had 27,000 members from across the world sharing 2, 000 sexually explicit videos of minor boys. The U.S. Attorneys Office said 160 victims have been identified and/or rescued by law enforcement.
"This guy is going to be looked at as a monster. Anybody who does that is not going to have any sympathy from any judge or jury or any prosecutor," said FOX 8 legal analyst Joe Raspanti.
"The only thing he told me was that he never had contact with anybody, that he never was with children or whatever they're trying to say," said a family member.
Looking back, family members say Johnson spent an incredible amount of time on his computer through all hours of the night. Family members told FOX 8 they found it strange that Johnson received gifts such as a popcorn machine, an ice cream maker, Armani clothing and gift cards. Family members said all of the gifts were delivered in packages with no return addresses.
The one thing family members say he didn't seem to have, however, was money.
"Twenty-seven thousand [members]? If that was the case, where was the money?" a family member asked.
Jonathan Johnson is scheduled for his first court appearance on Feb. 24.

Gore/Clark/Hagel/Gingrich/Thompson - Debate?
by howardpark, Mon Mar 12, 2007 at 08:14:54 AM EDT
I want to be the first to propose that Al Gore, Wes Clark, Newt Gingrich, Chuck Hagel & Fred Thompson have a Maybe Presidential Debate. An ideal moderator would be Mario Cuomo who spent most of 1988 and 1992 deciding on a presidential candidacy which never made it off the runway of an airport tarmac in Albany. Heck, maybe Cuomo is considering a run. Anybody but Fox "News" or Fox's print inspiration, the Washington Times, should run the debate.

Fighting back tears, the fiancee of a gang member gunned down outside the Larry Holmes Ringside Restaurant and Lounge said she saw a slow-moving sport utility vehicle pull up and heard someone ask a question before shooting Marcellus McDuffie at least eight times.

How to Report Trouble
The trouble reporting line is normally answered by TS's Voice Mail Box. Being answered by this mechanism DOES NOT IMPLY ADDITIONAL DELAY in responding to your problem. Technicians are paged by the system and will generally begin working on your problem within the hour. Some problems must be referred to other vendors for resolution which can take more than a day. If this is the case, you will be notified of the delay and given an approximated restoration time.
- Call the Telephone Trouble Reporting extension (86867). Please speak clearly. DO NOT CALL TS'S ADMINISTRATION OR TECHNICAL OFFICES as this only delays repair response times.
- Give your name.
- Give the five-digit extension number where you can be reached should further information be required. IN SOME CASES THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN THE EXTENSION THAT IS EXPERIENCING THE TROUBLE.
- Give the five-digit extension number that is experiencing the trouble.
- Give the extension's location (building, room, etc.).
- Explain the problem. If you have the results of the tests performed using "Before You Call Repair" procedures, be sure to state them. Be sure to indicate if this is a CRITICAL service.

Seriously the weirdest experience on GoldenEye ever:
So, I'm on my alternate profile, and I decide to play on heroes. It starts out with only four player (two vs two). All of a sudden my teammate quits and I'm left by myself. So I'm taking on two players and actually winning by about three points. This goes on for about close to two minutes. Next thing I know another player joins on my team. He spawns, WITH A ROCKET LAUNCHER and start blowing people up. At this point I'm like dying laughing. I was shocked also. I tried to get a video of it but forget to hit record. (stupid me). Anyway I did manage to get a picture of his name. It was "!2/#$'%&*+"
Maybe this story isn't as epic to anyone else, but it made my night.

Opening Night Party and Awards Ceremony in Pepin, WI on Thursday, October 18, 2012 at 6:00pm.
The 5th Annual Flyway Film Festival is proud to announce this year's "Flyway Gala" opening night party and awards ceremony at the Lake Pepin Art & Design Center, October 18, 2012. The Flyway Gala, an assembly of food, libations and entertainment, as well as the formal presentation of the Festival "Axe" awards (designed by nationally recognized Bay City, WI artist David Culver), is a must-attend event for film professionals, art and music aficionados, and anyone who appreciates independent film.
Up-and-coming Minneapolis musical duo Wolf Lords (Grant Cutler and Aby Wolf) will headline this event. Cutler, a prolific songwriter and talented producer, has been behind several acclaimed Twin Cities outfits – from Lookbook (City Pages' Best New Band 2009) to his own work with Grant Cutler and the Gorgeous Lords (First Avenue's Best New Bands 2010) and composing the score for the feature film Stuck Between Stations (an official selection of the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival). Wolf, an acclaimed singer and songwriter in her own right, released her first album, Sweet Prudence in 2009, receiving the compliments of City Pages' Best Female Vocalist, Best Album, and Best Artist, and also performs with her own group, A. Wolf & Her Claws, as well as local indie-chamber-folk sextet Dark Dark Dark and Doomtree's Dessa Darling. Her powerful vocals and mesmerizing stage presence are a perfect marriage with Cutler's electronic mastery. Both are well worthy of the buzz they have started in the local music scene.
Full Festival pass holders, Opening Night ticket holders, and specially designated Festival guests and partners, including sponsors Joia All Natural Soda, Treasure Island Casino, Red Wing Framing, Lake Pepin Real Estate, and Cineomatic, are invited to attend this VIP Gala. The evening will begin with a reception of small bites and hors d'oeuvres catered by local restaurateurs and food professionals, as well as 2012 signature Flyway cocktails, featuring mixologist-created Joia sodas, where attendees can network and mingle between 6:00 pm and 9:00 pm. It will be a great opportunity to meet and connect with directors, screenwriters and other professionals in the film industry, as well as the local community. This reception will be followed by an exclusive, private rock-and-roll show exclusive to Gala attendees.
A sample programming of national and international short films will screen throughout the evening in the back courtyard/tent lounge area of the Art & Design Center.
"Trust me when I say you will not want to miss this year's Flyway Opening Gala… Not only will we have the presentation of the Flyway Axe awards, view some awesome film projects, and dine on gourmet small bites from some of the best chefs around — but live party music this year will be the Twin Cities' own WOLF LORDS (Grant Cutler and Aby Wolf)! If you don't know them, you should. I get all fan girl when I try to describe…but here's a little taste." — Diana V.

A friend in the music industry once told me that the purpose of a cover is to pay tribute to the original recording not by recreating what was special about it -- after all, we have the original recording for that -- but by taking the essence of the song someplace new, someplace equally special, evoking new possibilities from the song's component elements. A cover that doesn't do that -- one that merely replicates beauty of the original -- has no reason to exist.
And so with a new version of a classic television series. Does Being Human, recreated by Syfy, have a reason to exist? The answer, thankfully, is yes.
The Dangers of Transatlantic Adaptation
I hesitated to load up my screener copy of the Being Human pilot (Jan. 17, 2011 on Syfy) precisely because I feared the answer would be no. As a big fan of the UK Being Human, I was concerned that the ideal rapport among actors and between the actors and writers achieved by the UK series would be inimitable, and that the North American version (it's a joint Canadian-U.S. effort filmed in Montreal) would be a wooden, soulless recapitulation -- a lurching, empty zombie of a TV series.
These fears were not groundless: many great British series have foundered on our rocky shores. The prototype is the U.S. version of Steven Moffat's sitcom Coupling, an attempt at simple duplication that famously became an instant, abject failure; but there have plenty of cases specific to sci-fi / fantasy.
There had to be a reason that the universal response from everyone I told about the North American redux of Being Human was: Why? Why adapt it -- why not just show it? Are British vampires and werewolves so alien, their traits and habits so peculiar to that big, damp, foggy island that Americans simply can't relate to them? (On the contrary -- as any Hammer Films fan knows, Brits make the best vampires.)
But "Why don't the Americans just watch the UK version?" isn't the right question, because television is supposed to tell us about ourselves. Whether it's Sanford & Son, Queer as Folk, or The Office, American versions of British hits are made not because Americans are too parochial to "get" British shows, but because TV programs engage by starting with the familiar and pushing outward.
Shape and Substance
The existence of a show like Law & Order: UK proves that this is not just a function of stateside provincialism. The Brits will watch the American incarnations, but even better is the same concept repositioned in British situations, not just with British actors but with British characters. Just as James Kirk was, fundamentally, a 1966 American cruising through alien future skies, a John Wayne with a ray gun, so too do audiences look for their own ilk no matter how fantastical the situation -- even themselves reimagined as a vampire, werewolf, or ghost, themselves through the looking glass.
The more proper question is, then, something else: namely, "Does the Syfy version have a reason to exist?" Does it transcribe, or does it take the concept behind the show to someplace new and special? Are these characters replicants, or real flesh and blood who act not on their doppelgangers' motivations, but rather on motivations of their own? Do they -- does this show -- have a soul of its own?
I have already answered in the affirmative, because it is clear from the first three episodes that the basic structure of the show has been enfleshed by new characters that, placed in the same situation as their British counterparts, have their own needs and responses. That is the nature of the failure of the U.S. Coupling and the success of the adapted Queer as Folk and The Office: an evocative premise can be evoked in countless ways, each potentially as valid as the other.
A Yearning for Normality
It's the strength of the show's premise that allows for the viability of multiple reinventions -- a tribute to the show's original creator, Toby Whithouse. The foundation remains the same: a vampire, a werewolf, and a ghost set up housekeeping together, confronting demons that are not supernatural but emotional -- addiction, rage, isolation -- by enforcing for themselves a normal life, circumscribing and smoothing their ragged, fringe existences.
This effort is complicated not only by their supernatural transformations but by the underground social structures of those who, similarly afflicted, see themselves as monsters, ejected by and rejecting humankind. In particular, the vampire community is hostile not only toward mortals but toward other supernaturals as well. The housemates, out of principle, reject their identities as outsiders by bonding with each other and deliberately, doggedly, living the lives of mortals -- despite the difficulties their conditions create in doing so.
In this case the three housemates live in Boston. They are Aidan (Sam Witwer), the comely vampire who wants to swear off the objectifying act of drinking blood from live humans; Josh (Sam Huntington), the former med student whose life was transformed by a werewolf attack, driving him to brusquely cut himself off from his family and friends; and Sally (Meaghan Rath), a ghost who has been trapped in the house where she died and in the love for her fiancé that she conveyed with her unsullied into the afterlife. Aidan and Josh are best friends and work together in the neighborhood hospital.
Similarities and Differences
Also in their orbit are Bishop (Mark Pellegrino), who leads the local vampire community and camouflages their existence through his connections as a cop; Rebecca (Sarah Allen), recently turned into a vampire, to her dismay; and Danny (Gianpaolo Venuta), Sally's fiancé and the boys' plumbing-inept landlord.
Fans of the British series will recognize certain basic plot elements in those descriptions, and indeed there are a few moments imported from the British version -- in one of two cases, more or less shot for shot. These situational moments reinforce the premise (as when Aidan, assuring Josh that a vampire-related death would not expose them, looks down the hospital corridor to the police working the crime, one of whom is Bishop). But even these moments play differently because of the nature of the characters. In fact every scene of the Syfy Being Human is shaped by these three excellent actors driving the show according to the nature of their characters, rather than being shoved around by the invisible hands of actors and writers far away whose work is long committed to digital memory.
The differences are promising. Pellegrino's Bishop is grimmer and darker than his sly, smiling, but equally Machiavellian British counterpart Herrick (Jason Watkins): his face-off with Aidan carries more heft as a consequence. Josh's burned bridges have been anthropomorphized as his estranged sister Emily (Alison Louder). And so on.
Being Human is good because it's a strong idea brought to life by outstanding writing, performances, and production values -- just like its British brother.

text: Is there any chance we could land RG3's #1 target from Baylor Kendal Wright? I've noticed him getting a lot of attention so maybe he will be drafted too high. Part of me is thinking that our WR's in 2012 will either be already in house or a FA signing. I like Vincent Jackson but isn't he a character issue guy? I do give him a little benefit of the doubt considering the GM of the chargers seems to be a vindictive ass. I don't see Reggie Wayne coming here. But considering we will be drafting RG3, the Redskins are now somewhat of a sexy place to come play football as opposed to just a place to get paid. Maybe Shanahan even brings in Eddie Royal to add depth? Whoever comes better be able to block down field for scrambling situations.

Jimmy Rollins is frequently maligned for hacking at the first pitch of his at bats. In fact, his Baseball Reference page even states that "[he] is often criticized for swinging at the first pitch, which normally leads to him flying out or grounding out."
However, recently, in the post "A Stroll Through Spring Stats", dajafi decided to look up the numbers. In the last 3 years, Rollins has put the first pitch into play 299 times with a line of:
At first glance, these numbers seem pretty impressive. He certainly does significantly better than he has hit cumulatively over the last 3 years:
So, should Rollins be swinging at more first pitches? Already, hitting the first pitch 299 seems like an awfully high percentage of times to put the ball into play on the first pitch. It doesn't even count swings and misses! To answer this question, let's compare Rollins to the rest of the league and the Phillies.
Unfortunately, I was unable to find the league average numbers for swinging at the first pitch. Fortunately, I am capable enough at hacking together some Perl code and like a good challenge. I parsed the three year splits on ESPN.com and tallied the stats of every player with 20 ABs or more on a 0-0 count*. The results:
Players analyzed: 507
Total ABs: 55218
These numbers are far better than the league average line of .260/.330/.420. I believe the reason batters have such high averages when hitting the first pitch are twofold:
Despite being an above average hitter, Rollins is below the league average for swinging at the first pitch. While this analysis is somewhat rudimentary, it leads me to believe that the critics are right - Rollins should be swinging at fewer first pitches, not more. Fortunately, he has been. Here are Rollins' percentages at swinging at the first pitch over the last 3 years:
2004 - 18.5%
2005 - 15.8%
2006 - 10.1%
So far, in spring training, Rollins has shown some pretty impressive patience at the plate. Let's hope that trend continues. For reference, here are the rest of the Phillies lines with 75+ ABs swinging at the first pitch over 2004-2006:
Wes Helms 90 ABs .356/.378/.544
Rod Barajas 109 ABs .367/.364/.688
Pat Burrell 186 ABs .403/.401/.737
Jimmy Rollins 299 ABs .338/.341/.535
Aaron Rowand 214 ABs .397/.414/.715
Chase Utley 141 ABs .390/.424/.702
Ryan Howard 124 ABs .427/.430/1.000
Finally, if anyone is interested, I'll gladly send the code for parsing ESPN's splits. If a lot of people are interested, I'll even do a post on it.
*ESPN.com stats pages are of the form http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/splits?statsId=XXXX&type=batting3 where XXXX is a four digit number. I parsed the numbers 5000-8000. I don't believe there are active players outside of this range. Note that the player IDs shift from page to page and a player ID on a player's main page is not his number on his 3 year splits page. However, 507 players seems like it would be an accurate number of players to have accrued 20+ ABs with a 0-0 count (e.g. even Coste didn't have this many last year).

Fat Tyre Navigator
Kintbury, 13th November 2005
The Navigators returned from their Autumn break to an enthusiastic field taking on the Kintbury hills and the first of the winters mud. All these factors combined to peg scores back across the board and a course clearance was never even threatened; in a fact only a couple of competitors broke the magic 600 point barrier on a tough day.
Super Vet Nick Dean was top dog on the day clocking in with 615 points at the last minute and pipping Alan Millard's day long lead of 600, a score that was still comfortably enough to win Alan the Single Vets category. Meanwhile the supposedly younger and faster guys had to content themselves with the high 500s, as Red Planets Matt Kemp pulled the same trick on Dean Stacey, trumping his leading score in Single Men by just five points at the last minute.
Iwona Szmyd beat all comers in the Womens combined category, in spite of racking up the highest penalty points in the field, while Nick Blake and Richard Smith won Mens Team. Vets Team honours went to Jeff Keen and Gary Ward.
The season takes another short break over the Xmas period but returns in full force for four dates in the New Year and spring (six if you include the two evening events). Full details of the New Year Navigator calendar are here. Have a great Christmas and we look forward to seeing you all in January!

Hearing set for March 8th, 2012 at 9:30 A.M. before Judge Rhonda Nishimura
Excerpts from local Hawaii attorney Gerald Kurashima's memorandum:
Defendant State contends that because it provided a "computer generated abstract of the birth certificate," the Plaintiff is not entitled to a certified copy of Virginia Sunahara's original Birth Certificate, and Plaintiff also is not entitled to "have access to that original." (State's Memorandum in Support of Motion to Dismiss, at pp. 2-3).
However, HRS § 338-13(a) expressly states, "the department of health shall upon request, furnish to any applicant a certified copy of any certificate, or the contents of any certificate on file in the department. . ." (Emphasis added). (See HRS § 338-13, as Exhibit 2). HAWAII RULES OF EVIDENCE, Rule 202(b) requires "mandatory judicial notice of law." "The court shall take judicial notice of (1) the common law), (2) the constitution and statutes of the United States and of every state, territory, and other jurisdiction of the United States, . . ." (Emphasis added).
Defendant State is required to produce a copy of Virginia Sunahara's original Birth Certificate, and not merely a "computer generated abstract" HRS § 92F-11(d) also states, "Each agency shall assure reasonable access to facilities for duplicating records. . ." The Plaintiff has sufficiently stated claims for relief which precludes dismissal or summary judgment.
Defendant State and the Department of Health have not complied with the requirements of HRS § 338-13(a) merely because a "computer generated abstract" was provided to the Plaintiff. (See Abstract as Exhibit 1). Defendant State claims that, "The Director (Department of Health) has the authority to select and adopt the process of providing computer generated abstracts of vital records. . ." (Memorandum in Support, at pp. 4-5). The State relies on HRS § 338-13(c), which states, "Copies may be made by photography, dry copy reproduction, typing, computer printout or other process approved by the director of health." (Emphasis added).
However, the State misinterprets this statutory provision because it merely provides the Director with discretion to choose the "method or process" of producing copies, either by "photography, dry copy, typing or computer printout." Contrary to the State's "interpretation," HRS § 338-13(c) does not grant the Director any "discretion" or authority to disregard the requirements of HRS § 338-13(a) to provide a "certified copy of any certificate." This section only grants the Director the discretion and authority to approve the "manner or process" of making copies. If the Legislature had intended to grant the Director the sole discretion of providing only a "computer generated abstract," the Legislature would have eliminated the requirement of providing "a certified copy of any certificate," or alternatively, the Legislature could have expressly granted the Director with similar discretion or authority as in HRS § 338-13(a), but the Legislature has not done so.
In addition, HRS § 338-13(c) cannot be construed as granting the Department of Health the sole discretion to provide a "computer generated abstract," in lieu of a copy of a certified original Birth Certificate. This would effectively nullify the requirement of HRS § 338-13(a) of providing a "certified copy of any certificate." HOH Corp. v. Motor Vehicle Industry Licensing Bd, DCCA, 69 Haw. 135, 736 P.2d 1271 (1987) (The law has long been clear that agencies may not nullify statutes).
It is also a general rule of construction in the interpretation of a statute, "courts may not take, strike, or read anything out of a statute, or delete, subtract, or omit anything." 73 Am Jur 2d STATUTES § 200. "[I]t is a cardinal rule of statutory construction that significance and effect should, if possible, . . . be accorded to every part of the act, including every section, paragraph, sentence or clause, phrase, and word, phrase, sentence and word." (Emphasis added). 73 Am Jur 2d STATUTES § 250.
"When construing a statute, our foremost obligation is to ascertain and give effect to the intention of the legislature which is to be obtained primarily from the language contained in the statute itself. Moreover, it is well-settled that courts are bound to give effect to all parts of a statute, and that no clause, sentence or word shall be construed as superfluous, void, or insignificant if a construction can be legitimately found which will give force to and preserve all words of the statute." (Emphasis added). State of Hawaii v. Magoon, 75 Haw. 164, 177, 858 P.2d 712 (1993); Hi Kai Inv. v. Aloha Futons, 84 Haw. 75, 929 P.2d 88 (1996) (The court, whenever possible, interprets every word, clause and sentence of a statute to give them effect). The Court must give effect to both HRS § 338-13(a) which requires the Department of Health to provide a "certified copy of any certificate," and HRS § 338-13(c) which provides the Director only discretion as to the method of copying records.
3. The Department of Health Does Not Have Any Discretion to Provide a "Computer Generated Abstract," In Lieu of a Certified Copy of an Original Certificate
Although HRS § 338-13(a) states the Department of Health is to, "furnish to any applicant a certified copy of any certificate, or the contents of any certificate, or any part thereof," this does not grant the Department an option or discretion to provide a "computer generated abstract" instead of a certified copy of Virginia Sunahara's original Birth Certificate. While the term "or" is normally used a disjunctive, with a choice among two or more things, Hawaii law, HRS § 1-18, expressly states, "Each of the terms 'or' and 'and,' has the meaning of the other or both." (Emphasis added). Therefore, under HRS § 1-18, the term "or" as used in HRS § 338-13(a), is to be interpreted as "and."
Defendant State has filed this motion to dismiss pursuant to HRCP, Rule 12(b)(6), claiming that Plaintiff Duncan Sunahara has failed to state a claim for which relief can be granted. However, as discussed herein, Defendant State has misinterpreted the plain and unambiguous language of the statute, HRS § 338-13. The Court should find that HRS § 338-13(a) requires the Department of Health to provide Plaintiff a certified copy of the original Birth Certificate of his deceased sister, Virginia Sunahara. The Court should also find that the Department cannot meet its statutory requirement by merely providing a "computer generated abstract." In addition, even if the "contents" of such an abstract can be "considered for all purposes, the same as the original," is not dispositive and does not relieve the Department of its statutory duty to provide a "certified copy of any certificate."

text: Tiger in a Trance : It is 1985, and eighteen-year-old Jason Burke is a full-time Deadhead, following the Grateful Dead around the country and surviving by selling T-shirts. But Jason is about to discover the lucrative ease of selling drugs. He'll also meet women who will play key romantic roles in his life: Jane, the tall, green-eyed girlfriend of a drug dealer; and Melanie, a rebellious high school girl, one-armed as the result of a car accident. Jason's one-night tryst with Melanie sets the stage for their future before Jason takes off for California with the tour. Jason has a past of his own. He grew up overseas, the son of a journalist, and when he was eleven his father was killed in a Syrian prison, accused of spying. Jason has never dealt directly with his father's death, and his detachment has estranged him from his mother and his older brother. In Carmel, Jason stops for the night to see Harry, an old friend of his father's. He learns that Harry, a rock-and-roll-loving alcoholic, is dying of emphysema. Eventually, Jason falls into drug dealing in earnest; hits the road with Melanie; is pursued by private detectives; and returns to nurse Harry through his final illness, all the while battling his own increasingly serious heroin addiction. The end of the road is near.

I saw a post on ESPN earlier this week saying the Padres should definitely trade Chase Headley before opening day and listed some possible destinations/scenarios. Of course the one that had me most interested was the one involving the Pirates. Jim Bowden posted the article but it is unfortunately for "Insiders"only so I will just post what he had as a possibility.
Bowden said a package that incuded Hanson and Polanco could be enough to swing a deal for the silver slugger. Earlier last year Headley also said that PNC was one of his favorite places to hit, as he showed by hitting for 3 HRs and 9 RBIs in only 13 at bats there last season. He would also provide the Pirates with a legitimate clean up hitter and force opposing to pitch to Cutch. The addition of Headley would also let Alvarez hit 5th instead of clean up where he struggled at.However, the gold glover would force Pedro to play first so the deal, if made, should be made ASAP in order to allow El Toro the chance to learn the new position.
I for one would love to see this line up:
- Marte LF
- Walker 2B
- Cutch CF
- Headley 3B
- Alvarez 1B
- Jones/Snider RF
- Martin C
- Barmes SS
- Burnett
The question is for what price? Polanco is disposable due to the immense depth we have in the outfield. Marte, McCutchen, Presley, Snider, Tabata, and Sands are all young and on the 40 man roster. Josh Bell and Barrett Barnes are also top tier outfield prospects right with Polanco. The key to this deal is Hanson.
I dont think the Pirates can afford to part with short stop, Hanson is really the only SS prospect we have and could be an electric player at PNC for years. Ever since Jack Wilson left there has been a hole up the middle and Hanson could finally fill it. My offer would be Polanco, Heredia, and Gaby Sanchez.
Let me know what you think

One of the skaters named Skylar Nalls, who photographed the incident, has come forward to tell his side of the story:
by Skylar Nalls
I am guilty of fleeing from a tyrannical, fascistic, oppressive officer of the Hot Springs Police Department. I say these words against officer Joey Williams because, like the dictator of a fascist government, he uses brute force to control and instill fear into citizens who habitually become his victims, which, generally, is not the policy in the democratic society of the United States. I say "generally" because I do see force as a necessity in certain circumstances, such as life-threatening situations involving weapons in the hands of violent and dangerous criminals. However, a group of skateboarders breaking a city ordnance by illegally but peacefully skateboarding in single-file along the sidewalk hardly fits the frame of a life-threatening circumstance and certainly does not constitute the use of force and unquestionably not the uncalled-for violence of choking.
Joey's new and unconventional but city-accepted policy of violence against ordinance-breakers, heinous though it may sound to those with morals, is a highly effective one. I, myself did not step onto my skateboard for a great deal of time after Joey's fit of rage and have yet to visit the beautiful downtown area of Hot Springs that I called my home for seven years. The mere sight of a skateboard or police vehicle nauseated me for weeks as they were both constant triggers of a flashback in my mind of Joey rushing past me to tackle my young friend unknowingly from behind to the ground, the sweat rolling down his face as he proceeded to wrap his fingers around his throat and squeeze, the gargling sounds that were managing to escape the mouth of his purple face as one of his arms was struggling limply at William's arm pit then, hopelessly submitting to torture, falling lifeless at his side, of bewildered bystanders approaching to hear the lies of Joey that were justifying his actions, "I told you to stop, and you told everyone to keep going", of myself starting to walk off to find the rest of the group proclaiming to the bystanders as I go that I had just taken a photo of the child being choked, of officer Williams speaking to me for the first time saying, "Hey you! Come here!", and the horror that consumed my shaking body and confounded mind in turning around to see the eyes of a sadist with authority glaring back into mine and, not even consciously deciding to run, running instinctually and feeling as though my life depended upon my running. I remember everything quite vividly still and have since acquired a new anxiety of police in general and would never dream of being anywhere downtown with a skateboard or otherwise. His new tactics have worked brilliantly.
Officer Williams has made a huge breakthrough in the field of law-enforcement. Just imagine; you are on the way to the park speeding but not dangerously when you see blue lights behind you, realizing you are about to be given a citation you pull over. The officer opens your car door drags you out onto the ground and begins to choke you until you no longer have strength enough to struggle. He then handcuffs you and drives you to the PD all the while using terrible profanities to you about your speeding, but you remain silent, not daring to speak. Upon your arrival, you are processed and put into a holding cell. After an hour in the tank the door finally opens and you jump at the chance to request a phone call, but your request is denied and the windowless, metal door is slammed in your face. Another two hours later you are allowed the phone call and leave the Police Department not only cited for speeding but also charged with resisting arrest, fleeing, and disorderly conduct. You are without any hope until you arrive home and realize that your friend had pulled over behind you and filmed what had happened without the officer's knowledge. Surely hard evidence like video footage would get you off your false charges, but you are ignorant of the corruption of the justice system. When you arrive in court your clearly unedited video is accused of and written off as being edited, and if that was not unjust enough, they provide witnesses who were not even present at the scene to testify against you and for the lies on your police report and whose stories conflict with each others and with the infallible evidence of your video. You are charged with everything and the officer with nothing. When you go out in public, people who recognize you curse you or otherwise give you disgusted looks for the false charges they heard you were convicted of on the news. These unconstitutional, Nazi tactics prove very effective because you never speed again. This new breakthrough of Joeys is simply fool-proof and is sure to eliminate the dangerous criminals who change lanes in an intersection, speed, ect.. Think of all the trees that will be saved from officers beating up traffic and ordinance violators instead of using the outdated tradition of citation slips, very economical and effective Joey. Nice work.
I made a deal with the court: I change my plea of not guilty to guilty and ... (continue onto page two)

They look great Tom:)
Thanks, Will! I have a few days this week to get some more done, but at the moment, I believe I have 9 to do...basically my max. PM/email me for more info. :)
Ok, I've been wanting a saya for my ZK and that looks sharp Tom. Very nice. Now I'm wondering, do I jump on your waiting list or try to make one myself and hope for results half as good. Hmmmmmm...
My most recent, that I just finished, literally 15 minutes ago. It's a Tsourkan petty, for a great guy and customer. Please, tell me your thoughts guys!
Thanks, as always!
nice work on the corners, I really like them, good job
Very nice Tom. Marko would be proud (I think).
Nice work, Tom!
Looks pretty good. Is this a two-piece or a three piece construction?
the pin is the wrong color.
Thanks for the comments, guys. Rick, I'm glad you like it!
Marko, it's the three piece style, but for fun, I'm going to mess around with a two piece, soon. I hope you think it looks good on your knife. :)
Trev, your Davis is 1/3rd finished, already. :D
Spike, I always love your comments! Haha. The real ebony pins are a $3 surcharge....

How to maintain your marbles as you get older
How to maintain your marbles as you get older
Healthy brain nerve connections as you age, may be a key to retaining intelligence later in life.
Older people with robust brain wiring, process information quickly. White matter in the brain has nerve fibres that connect different and distant brain areas.
As we age, a deterioration of white matter is likely a significant cause of age-related mental decline, but more importantly, intelligence is not found in a single part of the brain.
With new understanding of how the brain functions, we can work out why mental faculties decline with age in some people and not others, and to look at what can be done to improve our mind's chances of ageing better.

By Cheryl Lasseter - bio | email | twitter
HINDS COUNTY, MS (WLBT) - 27-year-old Terrance Trigg of Jackson took a stroke of bad luck as a sign it was time to switch gears, and begin a new career.
Laid off from a mental health tech job in April, Trigg weighed his options and decided to attend a one-month truck driver program at Ace Training Center in Byram. He just graduated, and now will choose among the job offers he's gotten. "I have between 7 and 8 (job offers)," he says.
Trigg also won't pay for a penny of his schooling.
"I went through the Job WIN Center for funding. They set me up with a couple classes. I think it's two tests. It's a basic knowledge test," he says.
Students at the Ace Training Center are graduating and quickly landing jobs with benefits. Starting salary is about $32,000/year.
Truck driving isn't just a career for men. Ace Training Center owner Kay Ferguson says the ratio of women to men coming through the classroom is 25-75%, and the women make the same salaries as the men.
"This job does not have a glass ceiling because it pays for the amount of miles you drive," Ferguson says.
A former truck driver herself, Ferguson now co-owns the business with her husband. She says during the worst part of the economic downturn, employers scaled back slightly. "Now they're telling me they're open, I need 1,400 drivers. They're anxious for people to come on board with them, and they're vying for them," she says.
Truck driving is #2 on the list of the 50 Hottest Jobs, compiled by the Mississippi Department of Employment Security. The hottest jobs are chosen by looking at a number of factors, including demand and wage.
Each occupation on the hottest jobs list has a corresponding job zone, ranging from 1 to 5. The higher the number, the more education or preparation needed. Truck driving is in job zone 2.
The number one hottest job, and in job zone four: registered nurse.
22-year-old Grace Grantier is an RN at UMC in Jackson. She has an interest in medicine and job security, and found the perfect field of work. "It's a great paying job, great benefits," she says.
Grantier paid for her education through grants and scholarships. In exchange for some of that, she agreed to work in Mississippi for at least a year.
Unlike some other professions requiring a college degree, Grantier had no trouble landing employment.
"I interviewed a few places, but there was definitely a lot of options. As far as job security, it's an amazing field to go into," she says.
Rounding out the top five hottest jobs in Mississippi: Elementary school teachers are #3, general and operations managers are #4, and secondary school teachers are #5.
Surprising picks, since teachers in Mississippi experienced layoffs the past two years.
But Mary Willoughby with the Department of Employment Security says the hottest jobs are based on projections to the year 2018. "When you have layoffs or the economy's bad, it's hard to say how long or how much the demand is going to continue the way it has in the past," she says.
More hot jobs from MDES:
#6 Licensed Practical and Licensed Vocational Nurses#7 Family and General Practitioners#8 First-Line Supervisors/Managers of Office and Administrative Support Workers#9 Middle School Teachers, Except Special and Vocational Education #10 Chief Executives#11 Pharmacists#12 Clergy#13 Sales Representatives, Wholesale and Manufacturing, Except Technical and Scientific Products#14 First-Line Supervisors/Managers of Construction Trades and Extraction Workers#15 Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers

Learning your ABCs has never been more different.
Remember 'b' for Bat and 'c' for Cat? Now it's more likely your children are learning 'b' for Bluetooth and 'c' for Chat with the new digital-age inspired alphabet.
And it's not just the alphabet that's changing. Once upon a time, when a teacher talked to you about 'application' you knew it was time for your daughter to pull her socks up and apply herself to her studies. Not any longer. Today, they're more likely to be talking about the latest computer and mobile phone apps to help her with her homework.
Head teachers from the Girls' Schools Association have now pooled resources to come up with a list of their favourite learning apps for the advice and information website www.MyDaughter.co.uk.
"There are thousands of learning apps out there," says GSA president Louise Robinson, "and if the hundreds we've gathered together for My Daughter visitors is anything to go by, it's clear that today's pupils are definitely getting plenty of opportunity to engage in the latest multimedia technology in a positive way that enhances their education."
