Happy Friday, and happy NBA Appreciation Day, everybody! Today I present to you a mix by Yinka Dare, a legend to all those who watched mixes before Youtube… back when you had to download them, probably quite slowly, and hope the wait would be worth your time. To this day Yinka Dare is responsible for some of the finest NBA-related videos to be found on the internet (his Keon Clark mix is short, but one of my personal favorites). There's not much to 'em–just quality highlights and a suitable song–but that's the way it should be. Too often nowadays you'll click a five-minute mix and see about 30 seconds of basketball. Anyway, that's another story. The following is Yinka's take on Michael Finley, which I hadn't seen until yesterday. Check it out…
Aside from the use of my favorite song, the best thing about this video is the last minute and a half. Did you see Finley drop those right-handed hammers on Olden Polynice (twice), Dikembe Mutombo, David Robinson, Michael Olowokandi, Yao Ming, Mark Madsen, and Karl Malone? How awesome was that? I thought it was awesome enough to warrant breaking out my Michael Finley jersey, which I wore for the remainder of the evening.

Purchased at iHerb
Eidon Minerals looks like a fantastic company with excellent products. I have purchased other products from them all natural all preservative free. I cannot understand what is wrong with people today. IHERB ingredients do not have Sodium Benzoate listed as an ingredient but it is in this product. Would not have purchased it if I had known. Wasted $17. Who is responsible for this someone should have a little more respect for their customers whoever the mistake lies with. NOT ON.

This book was the right read at the right time.
She also teaches us that if we have one genus or species monopolizing our time and dominating our garden, we need to think about reducing its number.

ACC Student-Athletes Participate in Community Connections Program

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (theACC.com) – Atlantic Coast Conference softball student-athletes participated in an ACC Community Connections outreach event Thursday morning before the start of the 2013 ACC Softball Championship.
Twenty-seven student-athletes from six schools met with elementary students and introduced the sport of softball and its basic rules. They set up multiple activity stations where they led drills on softball fundamentals, such as throwing and running the bases.
"It's good to do this because at one time we were as young as they are and going to these things and we really looked up to these players," said ACC Player of the Year Ashley Thomas of Georgia Tech. "It feels good to give back."
The 150 students, fourth graders from Gilchrist Elementary, a local Tallahassee, Fla., school, were able to stay after the program and watch Virginia Tech take on Maryland in the first game of the day.
The ACC will donate commemorative books to the school's library during Saturday's championship game.
The ACC Community Connections Program, now in its third full year, takes place at all of the conference's Olympic sport championships. The program aims to get local elementary studnets the change to talk with ACC student-athletes, learn about the sport and attend part of the championship, and to donate books to the schools' libraries.

Mickey Smith, now referred to as "Papa Cruiser" by the girls on this year's 16-under California Cruisers, surprised the team with a visit at their first double-elimination game in the Amateur Softball Association fastpitch national tournament held in Chattanooga this week.
Smith started the Cruisers organization in Orange County in 1989. In 1993, his 12-under Cruisers won the ASA national title at Warner Park, which along with the Summit of Softball Complex has hosted this year's national tournament.
Smith's championship team did not give up an earned run while winning the ASA state and national tournaments. His pitching ace was former University of Arizona and Team USA sensation Jennie Finch.
"Nobody knew who she was then," Smith said, "but they soon did."
Smith moved to the Chattanooga area not long after his team's title run. Current Cruisers coach Phil Harman said the organization remains strong with teams in five age groups and all qualifying for national tournaments.
Smith works in Tunnel HIll, Ga., for a division of a large truckload service company. He said another employee of the company, Denise Johnson — whose daughter Mykeah plays softball for Tad Andrus's 16-under Tennessee Fury team — told him the Cruisers would be part of the 172-team field this week.
Smith was at each Cruisers game since Wednesday when he showed up with an original Cruisers uniform, trading pin and banner signed by players on the '93 championship team. The team bowed out Saturday in a tie for 17th place.
"He came over and introduced himself," Harman said. "It was definitely a surprise. The girls loved it. He was our good-luck charm."
There's one other connection between the current Cruisers and Smith, who last coached in 2008 and '09 at Dade County High School in Trenton, Ga. Harman's wife, Mary Beth, is employed by Bob and Janette Morey. Bob is a former Cruisers assistant of Smith's.
"I just came to support them — just to be with them," Smith said. "Like I told the ball team, my blood still runs blue and orange, and theirs will, too, for the rest of their lives."
Winners' final at 10
Winners-bracket quarterfinals and semifinals were played Saturday afternoon and night at Warner Park. The winners-bracket final between The Next Level from California and the Georgia Impact is set to take place at Frost Stadium at 10 a.m.
The championship is slated for 2 p.m. A second game would take place afterward, if necessary.
In winners-bracket quarterfinal action, the Southern Force out of Georgia cruised past the Salt Lake Pegasus 12-2. The Next Level edged the Southern Force out of Illinois 1-0. The Atlanta Vipers earned a 5-3 victory over the Texas Bombers White and the Georgia Impact defeated the Nebraska Sizzle 8-3.
The Next Level beat Georgia's Southern Force 9-0 in one winners' semifinal. The Impact downed the Vipers 4-2 in the other.
Fury tie for 13th
The Tennessee Fury '94 were the highest-finishing area team. They tied for 13th place.
"I told this team after the ASA state tournament when we won our berth, I thought we had the team to finish in the top 15 in the country," Fury coach Jeremy Higdon said. "They made it happen."
Higdon said Lindsey Fadnek carried the pitching load with more than 60 innings logged for the Fury, who went 1-1 in pool play and 5-2 in double-elimination. Fadnek was chosen to the Louisville Slugger/NFCA High School All-America first team for her work last spring as a junior at Coalfield High School.
Mikayla "Mimi" Cartwright sparked the Fury's offense this week, hitting better than .400. She's a junior at Goodpasture Christian School in Madison, Tenn.
"She was incredible," Higdon said. "We didn't hit it that much. Pitching and playing defense are what got us to where we were.

Ku Klux Klan-owned companies. Sodas that cause sterility. A military conspiracy to infect Africans with AIDS. These rumors reverberate through Black America. Now, Patricia Turner presents a groundbreaking, comprehensive look at how rumors translate white oppression into folk warnings throughout the African-American community.

Format: Textbook Paperback, 260pp
Americans from radically different political persuasions agree on the need to "fix" the "broken" US immigration laws to address serious deficiencies and improve border enforcement. In Immigration Law and the US-Mexico Border, Kevin Johnson and Bernard Trujillo focus on what for many is at the core of the entire immigration debate in modern America: immigration from Mexico.
In clear, reasonable prose, Johnson and Trujillo explore the long history of discrimination against US citizens of Mexican ancestry in the United States and the current movement against "illegal aliens"--persons depicted as not deserving fair treatment by US law. The authors argue that the United States has a special relationship with Mexico by virtue of sharing a 2,000-mile border and a "land-grab of epic proportions" when the United States "acquired" nearly two-thirds of Mexican territory between 1836 and 1853.
The authors explain US immigration law and policy in its many aspects--including the migration of labor, the place of state and local regulation over immigration, and the contributions of Mexican immigrants to the US economy. Their objective is to help thinking citizens on both sides of the border to sort through an issue with a long, emotional history that will undoubtedly continue to inflame politics until cooler, and better-informed, heads can prevail. The authors conclude by outlining possibilities for the future, sketching a possible movement to promote social justice. Great for use by students of immigration law, border studies, and Latino studies, this book will also be of interest to anyone wondering about the general state of immigration law as it pertains to our most troublesome border.

An independent and indigenous revision of established history
The American Discovery of Europe investigates the voyages of America's Native peoples to the European continent before Columbus's 1492 arrival in the "New World." The product of over twenty years of exhaustive research in libraries throughout Europe and the United States, Jack D. Forbes employs a vast number of primary and secondary sources to paint a clear picture of the diverse and complex societies that comprised the Americas before 1492 and reveals the surprising Native American involvements in maritime trade and exploration.
Starting with an encounter by Columbus himself with mysterious people who had apparently been carried across the Atlantic on favorable currents, Forbes proceeds to a detailed discussion of ocean currents and then to exploring the seagoing expertise of early Americans in the Caribbean, on the coasts of Greenland, and beyond. He also discusses theories of ancient migrations, the evidence for human origins in the Americas, and other early visitors coming from Europe to America, including the Norse. The book closes with a discussion of Native travelers to Europe after 1493, when they came mostly as slaves. The provocative, extensively documented, and heartfelt conclusions of The American Discovery of Europe present an open challenge to received historical wisdom. This book will be of lasting importance to Native people and redefine the way future scholarship views American history.

The Chicana/o Cultural Studies Forum brings together a diverse group of scholars whose work spans the interdisciplinary fields of Chicana/o studies and cultural studies. Editor Angie Chabram-Dernersesian provides an overview of current debates, locating Chicana/o cultural criticism at the intersections of these fields. She then acts as moderator of a virtual roundtable of critics, including Frances Aparicio, Lisa Lowe, George Lipsitz, Wahneema Lubiano, Renato Rosaldo, José David Saldívar, and Sonia Saldívar-Hull.
This highly collaborative and deeply interdisciplinary project addresses the questions: What is the relationship between Chicana/o studies and cultural studies? How do we do cultural studies from within Chicana/o cultural studies? How do Chicana/o cultural studies formations (hemispheric, borderland, and feminist) intermingle? The lively conversations documented here attest to the vitality and spirit of Chicana/o cultural studies today and track the movements between disciplines that share an interest in the study of culture, power relations, identity, and representation.
This book offers a unique resource for understanding not just the development of Chicana/o cultural studies, but how new social movements and epistemologies travel and affiliate with progressive forms of social inquiry in the global era.

The Curtice-based entomologist expects he'll be able to find active nests for about two more weeks.
He provides venom for pharmaceutical companies that produce vaccines and is willing to remove active nests from businesses and residences if they haven't been sprayed or disturbed.
An active nest will typically have 80 or so yellow jackets flying in or out during a span of a minute, Lamp said. Ground nests are often built in sandy soil and mulch.
A yellow jacket worker is usually about a half-inch long with alternating black and yellow bands on the abdomen.
To have Lamp evaluate an active nest for possible removal call him at 419-836-3710.

Columbia City officials are celebrating a $1 million business investment that has transformed a vacant, 70-year-old building into an active operation.
Novae Corp. moved into the building more than 18 months ago, but the place is only now fit for company, President Steve Bermes said.
The Whitley County Economic Development Corp. is hosting an open house at 1 p.m. Friday at the plant, 643 W. Ellsworth St., Columbia City.
The company, which employs about 350 in northeast Indiana, makes open and closed utility trailers, commercial lawn equipment, and agricultural and industrial material handling systems.
For more on this story, see Friday's print edition of The Journal Gazette or go to www.journalgazette.net after 3 a.m. Friday.

"I made the card for my niece and she absolutely loved it. It would have been great to be able to edit or add more text to the standard wording on the card."
"This invitation was perfect for my daughter's 11th birthday party. She's a tween now and not really into any of the "kid" stuff anymore. I used a recital photo for the picture and she looked like a rock star. One of the parent's commented that it was the cutest invitation she had ever seen. Thanks Tiny Prints for offering such great products!"
"These were so perfect for my 11 year old , I will definitely order again for her next Birthday Party next year .. Great Job :) ~FLORA~"
"I was very impressed and pleased with our daughter Birthday card invitation, It was very easy to personalize,The designer work with me all the time, He was very professional and He was asking me for every little detail. We can get the color the we want. When we received the box by mail we cant wait to opened it. The most beautiful invitation ever see !! Colors, size, quality and presentation its exceeded my expectation. Thanks so much!! ""
"But it doesn't matter- this invite looks great! Received many compliments on the invitation, but if you are looking for something with raised glitter this does not have that."

Galloway Village has certainly made this neighborhood nicer to live in by updating their apartments and town h Read Moreomes, keeping them clean and making sure that everything is in working order. Since they also require criminal background checks on all potential residents, it puts my mind at ease about the safety of this once-sketchy neighborhood.

Should Apple Inc (AAPL) Celebrate This Victory?
Posted by: arti7 (IP Logged)
Date: November 29, 2013 04:36PM
A Federal Judge in California has dismissed the consumer lawsuit over the data privacy issues against Apple Inc (AAPL) saying that the plaintiffs had not been able to show that they had relied on some alleged company-misrepresentations and that they had actually suffered any harm. In 2011, the 4 plaintiffs had claimed that the company had violated the privacy policy.
They said that the iOS environment had been designed in such a manner that it was very easy to transmit users' personal information to various 3rd parties who are in the business of collecting and analyzing this information without the consent of the users. The claim also was that they had suffered damages by shelling out too much money for their handsets and had ended up losing storage space.
Insufficient evidence
Judge Lucy H. Koh of the United States District Court in San Jose in California dismissed the case. She said that the plaintiffs have to be able to provide evidence that the saw any of these alleges misrepresentations. The other thing that she stated in her 25th November ruling was that they also have to be able to prove that they actually relied on these representations and that they have been harmed by them. There were no comments forthcoming from either the plaintiff's lawyers or from Apple Inc (AAPL).
This particular case is one part of the nationwide litigation that is being overseen by Judge Koh and consolidates 19 other related lawsuits. Apple is not the only company facing lawsuits such as this one. Many other big tech companies like Yahoo! Inc (YHOO), Google Inc (GOOG), Facebook Inc (FB) and Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) have also been caught in the fray regarding privacy and location data.
The PRISM program
All of this emerged in the wake of some news regarding a United States government program known as PRISM which allowed the NSA direct access to their user data on the corporate servers from the large technology companies. Since that point of time, Apple Inc (AAPL) and all other companies have reiterated their statements regarding customer privacy. The company says that no agency has any direct access to their customer data and that every request for any data by the law enforcement agencies is first thoroughly scrutinized by the company's legal team and the legitimacy of the claim is determined.
The geo-location function
The Geo-location function on the iPads and iPhones came under the public scanner when customers complained that Apple Inc (AAPL) was collecting data from their devices even when this function was turned off. Many tech savvy phone users say that the application never actually gets turned off at all even when they set it do so. They found that just killing or closing the app did not actually stop it from function and only uninstalling it might stop it from functioning on the devices. Now, if that isn't a breach of privacy-what is?
Stocks Discussed: AAPL, FB, GOOG, MSFT, YHOO,

Thread: Beware of "Camp Reports"
-07-28-2006 #1
Beware of "Camp Reports"
Sometimes, when my wife and I are at a restaurant, my wife, unable to decide between two dishes, will ask the waiter or waitress which one they recommend. I always laugh at that, as the waiter or waitress may very well have bad, or at least different, taste.
"Camp reports" suffer from the same deficiency. The subjective opinions of web bloggers who likely have never played organized football, and certainly are not qualified as coaches or scouts, are questionable, at best.
So, if some guy from another website says that Travis Fisher had a bad day, or that Richie Incognito looks great, or that it appears that a player has been supplanted in the starting lineup... I beg you... take it with a really big grain of salt.
For all you know, the person writing these opinions might be the same person who would recommend Spam a la mode over filet mignon.

Re: Beware of "Camp Reports"
I agree 100% with av, but i will take it a step further. Even when the reports come from the most reliable of sources, ie balzer, take them with a grain of salt in that what happens in camp on any given day is often blown WAY out of porporation in terms of its relevance to the season. Lets do our best not to go nuts based on practice and preseason, we all should have learned too many lessons from that in the past.
Rule #1 of camp if you want to win a title STAY HEALTHY!!!!!!!!! How would you like to be a browns fan today after the loss of charles for the year on the first play of the first practice.
ramming speed to all

Re: Beware of "Camp Reports"
i think any report is a good report considering the PD coverage. by the way I love spam.
-07-29-2006 #9
Re: Beware of "Camp Reports"
The PD is terrible! And the "official" site is right behind them. We have to have some of the poorest media people in the business.
Also, the Spam factory is only a few miles south of me if you would like to visit some time. LOL

Re: Beware of "Camp Reports"Originally Posted by AvengerRam
Ok, so basically what you are saying is to treat "other site" reports like you do anything else. Objectively. Fair enough.
Not sure why you make it sound like it is something to "beware". Camp reports aren't something I usually put my guard up for. It's just innocent info and a perspective. No reason to get all cautious about them.

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. From the "Shapiro Stinks Studios," here we go...
Atlanta Braves' Tim Hudson delivers a pitch to the Arizona Diamondbacks during the first inning of a baseball game, Sunday, Aug. 21, 2011, in Atlanta. (AP Photo/John Amis)
Braves rollin'
Take that NL West. After taking three of four from the defending World Series champion Giants, the Braves swept Arizona out of Atlanta with a 1-0 masterpiece Sunday.
The pitching — Tim Hudson went seven innings before handing it over to the wonderful skills of the closeout wholesalers Venters & Kimbrel — was stellar. The defense — did you see the play Freddie Freeman made? — was stellar. The offense was just enough.
And, yes, the Phillies are cruising and scoring eight runs a game and thumping people. But playoff baseball is won with timely offense and shutdown bullpens. The Braves appear to have each of those traits in full.
Sidenote: It's worth repeating, but do you know closer Craig Kimbrel has not allowed a run since June 11. That's right, the last time Kimbrel allowed a run we thought Ohio State was the dirtiest program in the country, we had just put a wrap on the Best of Preps banquet and EC was belly-aching about getting more MMA in the TFP, and this was long before the deal between UFC and Fox made them bona fide. There are a country full of 10-week-old babies who have never seen Craig Kimbrel allow a run. Think about that. Think about the children, guys.
This April 16, 2011, file photo shows Sebastian the Ibis, the Miami Hurricanes' mascot, leading the team on to the field for a spring NCAA college football game, at Lockhart Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Convicted Ponzi schemer Nevin Shapiro told Yahoo! Sports he provided extra benefits to 72 football players and other athletes at Miami from 2002 to 2010. His claims involve several current players, but coach Al Golden said it was too soon to take disciplinary action. (AP Photo/Jeffrey M. Boan, FIle)
More Miami fallout
Whether it was background information or scheduling irony, ESPNU on Sunday showed two of its best — and most topical — episodes in the really great "30-at-30" series. Back-to-back episodes of "Pony Excess" detailing the rise and fall of SMU and "The U." showcasing the rise of the University of Miami football program.
With all the reverbs coming from last week's bomb dropped by Yahoo! Sports that a rogue booster had given hundreds of thousands of dollars (maybe millions) to more than 70 Miami football players, watching those documentaries was even more fascinating. The SMU scandal was unbelievably deep — even involving then-SMU board president who had just been elected Governor of Texas. It also was brazen and unflinching and so deep that when the boosters and the athletic department officials agreed to stop paying players in 1983, they had to continue playing the players on the roster so as to not violate any contracts. Read that sentence again.
The death penalty that was delivered to SMU was devastating. And it was such a traumatic experience the NCAA bigwig that announced the death penalty fainted walking out of the press conference. It was surreal.
As for the early days of the "The U." well, to say you couldn't see this coming is shortsighted at best and a plain falsehood at worst. One thing that did jump out to us was that as wild and talented as those Jimmy Johnson teams were — and without a bad call at Notre Dame and a turnover-plagued bowl loss to Penn State, Johnson's teams would have win three straight national titles — he was in control then.
And it's obvious no one is in control at Miami now. That said, unless they can prove the administration had direct knowledge of Nevin Shapiro's shenanigans (could that be Shapirigans?), it would be hard to see Miami getting the death penalty.
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning calls a play during the first half of the NFL Super Bowl XLIV football game against the New Orleans Saints in Miami, Sunday, Feb. 7, 2010.
Neck and neck in Indy
OK, we know that Peyton Manning is a stud. We know that the Colts struggling in the preseason is nothing new. (Indy has lost more preseason games than regular-season games since 2005. Seriously.)
We also know that Manning's recovery from neck surgery is making the Colts explore other back-up plans for the season opener in three weeks. Couple of things here:
— If Manning can't play, his real value will be overwhelmingly obvious. And that's saying something for a guy who has already won xxx MVPs. (Yes, El Jefe and BIspy, Tom Brady's a great quarterback and has three rings. He also has had a better supporting cast for years. Much better. The Patriots minus Brady would smoke the Colts minus Manning).
— Colts owner Jim Irsay recently tweeted that he was in Brett Favre's hometown. NOOOOOOOOO. Brett Favre — the NFL's offseason combination of Beetlejuice and Lord Voldemort in that if we don't mention his name — who has been relatively absent from preseason un-retirement talks. (Sidenote: When you google "lord voldemort" to make sure you're spelling it right, you learn that lord voldemort has a twitter account. Gotta admit, we're intrigued by that. OK.)
— Here's saying that Manning, who has started 208 consecutive regular-season games, will be on the field for the opener. Here's also saying that Brett Farve is the Jason Voorhees of NFL quarterbacks. There is no way to get rid of that guy once and for all.
This and that
— OK, we all agree that voters for the baseball Hall of Fame take themselves a little too seriously, right? Here's the other extreme: Miley Cyrus is in the bowling Hall of Fame. Read that again. Yes, the bowling Hall of Fame has an online election, and Cyrus topped such other famous bowling celebs Lady Gaga and Justin Beiber. Not really sure what else to add here other than last year's inductee was Taylor Swift. Let's just move along.
— Four LSU players were involved in a bar brawl last Thursday, and among the group was starting quarterback Jordan Jefferson, but the devils are in the details. Reportedly there were as many as 50 LSU players that went out in mass to celebrate the Tigers wrapping up two-a-days. First question, who picks a fight with 50 SEC football players? Second question, how many of those guys were still around for the starting quarterback to get in the middle of the scrum. Third question, which is the best word/phrase to describe a bar fight — a melee, a brawl, a scrum, a donneybrook, or a knock-down-drag-out (our favorite)?
— Kurt Busch secured his spot in the Chase with a win Sunday. It was Busch's fourth Sprint Cup win of the season. If dude wasn't such a pain in the tuckus he would be getting Jeff Gordon-type praise from a decade ago. Seriously, the guy can drive anything with four wheels and he can drive any one with four or more IQ points crazy.
— It was good to be back at a high school football game Friday night. We watched (and were impressed by) Baylor on Friday. And yes, we're getting a little longer in the tooth (We're a man! We're 40!), but high school football is one of the good things in life. The buzz on Friday mornings, the excitement, the band and the crowd... it's joyful. (Sorry to go all Hallmark on you, let's just move along before EC starts heckling us.)
Today's question
The Braves have the two best rookies in the NL in Freddie Freeman and Craig Kimbrel. You know this.
Which one is your NL Rookie of the Year and which one is more valuable? The answer may not be the same, you know? (And if you want to know the difference follow along this first-ever 5-at-10 Mad Lib: You're watching the ESPN ticker and the blurb, "Braves' star rookie seriously injured," comes across the screen. How do you finish this sentence — "Holy Snikes. Please don't let it be__!"

He was born and raised in Smyrna, Ga., and graduated from Auburn University before starting his newspaper career in 1997 with the Newnan (Ga.) Times Herald.

Whoa whoa whoa. Better supporting cast?
Marvin Harrison vs. Deion Branch? Reggie Wayne vs. Jabar Gaffney, David Patten, et al.? Edgerrin James vs. Antowain Smith and Corey Dillon? Remember, big fella, the Pats had one stupendous year out of the Brady-Moss and did NOT win the Super Bowl (and just who thought putting 5 foot nothing Ellis Hobbs on7 foot tall Pistol Packin Plaxico in single coverage with 20 seconds left was a good idea?)
Gotta the Braves chances a little bit better now. Some ? on starting pitching but the back end of the bullpen is die-know-might.
Plus, the lineup has been lengthened. There is speed at the top and bottom with Bourn and Cantstandya. Then you got Prado in the 2 hole (2 hole ... sorry, little Beavis and Butthead moment there). Mr. Uggla is still raking, Freeman is ... well, not a rookie, that's for sure ... McCann is money and even Grampa Jones is swinging it well right now. They can now score in different ways than before the addition of Messers Bourn and Constanza, and come playoff time, it's paramount to have that.
To answer your question, Mr. 5, I'd say Freeman. Venters can move into Kimbrel's spot and the Braves should get Moylan back soon to be the 7/8 inning guy, along with O'Flahhhherrrrttttyyyy!!!! But take Freeman's bat out of that lineup and it might hurt a lot more.
And I prefer a Pier-6er to refer to a good bar fight as a shoutout to the late, great Gordon Solie. Just wonder how many double-tough customers got entangled in a good Pier 6er.
Ordinary --
Thanks for catching that for us.
PDavi --
Now that the football tab crush is in the rearview, we're legitimately excited about football.
Spy --
Love Pier6er. Agree about these Braves -- plus they are the most likable Braves team in 15 years and almost as likable as the Yankees (kidding, kidding).
As for Peyton, the names are interesting, but answer this: what was the Pats' record when Brady missed the year? What would the Colts finish with Manning on IR?

When it comes to eating healthy, a diet rich in fiber is right at the top of the list. Fiber can help control your appetite and weight –– and may even help lower the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
Yet most adults don't get enough fiber. Consumer Reports says one convenient fix is the breakfast cereal you pick.
High-fiber cereals have come a long way.
Amy Keating of Consumer Reports says, "Our first tests, 14 years ago, found that many of the fiber-rich cereals tasted more like straw than grain."
But in Consumer Reports latest tests of 26 cereals, mostly high in fiber, more than two-thirds tasted very good.
One even rated excellent, Bear Naked Fruit and Nut Granola. But its overall nutrition rating is only fair –– and it has just two grams of fiber per serving.
Amy Keating of Consumer Reports says, "Granolas are often thought of as a healthful choice, but they're among the highest in fat and calories, so just be careful how much you pour."
Much better –– four cereals that were very tasty and very nutritious –– with a lot more fiber. Kellogg's All-Bran Original, with 10 grams of fiber; Post Shredded Wheat Wheat 'n Bran, with 9 grams; Post Grape-Nuts the Original, with 7 grams; and Post Shredded Wheat Original, with 6 grams of fiber.
Keating says, "But name-brand cereals can be expensive. We found two very tasty store-brands that are Consumer Reports Best Buys."
One, Market Pantry Frosted Shredded Wheat from Target, is sweet, with a toasted-wheat flavor. It delivers six grams of fiber.
The second, Great Value Raisin Bran from Walmart, has a little more fiber. In milk the flakes lost some crunch but didn't become soggy, even after two minutes.
Either is a great, healthy way to start your day.
Most of the Consumer Reports suggested cereals get you well on your way to the daily recommended amount of fiber. It's 25 grams for women and 38 for men.

Cake know-how
If you fancy boosting your baking skills, we have plenty of expert tips to help out. Read our top 10 tips for cake success and Mary Berry's ultimate baking tips. If you're faced with a baking disaster, check out out troubleshooting guide and avoid dreaded sunken middles, burnt edges and other common complaints.
- Butter a 20cm round cake tin (7.5cm deep) and line the base. Preheat the oven to fan 140C/conventional 160C/ gas 3. Break 200g good quality dark chocolate in pieces into a medium, heavy-based pan. Cut 200g butter into pieces and tip in with the chocolate, then mix 1 tbsp instant coffee granules into 125ml cold water and pour into the pan. Warm through over a low heat just until everything is melted – don't overheat. Or melt in the microwave on Medium for about 5 minutes, stirring half way through.
- While the chocolate is melting, mix 85g self-raising flour, 85g plain flour, ¼ bicarbonate of soda, 200g light muscovado sugar, 200g golden caster sugar and 25g cocoa powder in a big bowl, mixing with your hands to get rid of any lumps. Beat 3 medium eggs in a bowl and stir in 75ml (5 tbsp) buttermilk.
- Now pour the melted chocolate mixture and the egg mixture into the flour mixture, stirring just until everything is well blended and you have a smooth, quite runny consistency. Pour this into the tin and bake for 1 hour 25- 1 hour 30 minutes – if you push a skewer in the centre it should come out clean and the top should feel firm (don't worry if it cracks a bit). Leave to cool in the tin (don't worry if it dips slightly), then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- When the cake is cold, cut it horizontally into three. Make the ganache: chop 200g good quality dark chocolate into small pieces and tip into a bowl. Pour a 284ml carton of double cream into a pan, add 2 tbsp golden caster sugar, and heat until it is about to boil. Take off the heat and pour it over the chocolate. Stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Sandwich the layers together with just a little of the ganache. Pour the rest over the cake letting it fall down the sides and smoothing to cover with a palette knife. Decorate with grated chocolate or a pile of chocolate curls. The cake keeps moist and gooey for 3-4 days.

Comments, questions and tips
Made with my 14 year old and wasn't that hard, just lots of different things to put in.
Edges were a bit cracked but didn't turn out of tin for about half hour after taking out of the oven and once it was cooler, wrapped it snugly in baking parchment, then foil, and by the next day it had stuck back together.
Changed the recipe a little - we only used a teaspoon of coffee in the 125ml of water, used 400g of golden caster sugar (none of the other sugar in) and used 1 tbsp milk with 4 tbsp natural yogurt.
Didn't bother with the ganache topping - used melted chocolate instead with pieces of curly wurly and crushed oreos.
This cake was moist and rich but not sickly and a great celebration recipe. Will definitely make again.
The best chocolate cake I have made so far. I am so happy that I have found the most fool proof recipe for a classic chocolate cake for any occasion.
As has already been told in the previous comments, I reduced the amount of sugar to a total of 320 grams. I did not have light muscovado sugar or golden caster sugar. Instead I used normal granulated sugar and caster sugar. It was a really really yummy cake. Doubled the quantity and made two batches. It went down like a storm. Made it for a lunch party at a friend's place and it was a super hit.
Mine burnt on the outside before the skewer came out clean, it also collapsed in the middle a lot, which was disappointing. The edges started to fall apart when I took it out of the tin (even after allowing it to cool for a few hours) so I didn't dare try to cut it in half and just spread the ganache all the way round the outside. I baked it for a friend's birthday, everyone at the party said it tasted nice but was a bit too rich.
I used milk with a little lemon juice added instead of butter milk and caster sugar instead of golden caster sugar. I also split the mix into 2 tins and baked for about half the time. It took less time to cook, cooled quicker and I didn't have to faff around slicing it in half. Definitely one of the nicest cakes I have ever made!
This is possibly the worst thing I have ever baked. I spent a fortune on top quality (as suggested) ingredients, followed the instructions and measurements precisely. I was left with a soggy mess in about several pieces. I consider myself to be a good baker and my cakes are usually of very good standard. Don't waste your time or money making this.
Have tried loads of choc cake recipes with success but this is THE one - everyone says so! Using butter rather than oil, as in other recipes, makes for better flavour. The cake was moist yet crumbly, delicate yet full of flavour. Somewhere between a fudge cake and traditional victoria sponge. Great texture and great flavour. Could make a delicious black forest. In fact I doubled my recipe below, put into 4 tins and then (having cut holes in 3 layers, sandwiched with ganache, filled with sweets, placed last layer on top) made into pinata cake.
Having read other comments, here are my amendments.
Fan 140 C (Neff)
Butter and line two 8" sandwich tins.
200g butter
200g choc (Sains basic half dark, half milk)
Half tbsp instant coffee
125ml water
85g sr flour
85g plain flour
Quarter teasp bicarb
125g light muscovado sug
125g golden caster sug
25g cocoa
3 med eggs
5 tbsp buttermilk
Divide between tins. Bake 50 mins. If using ganache, definitely need to cool in fridge before whisking.

text: On March 19, 2011, about 1410 central daylight time, a Piper PA-28-140, N7330J, was substantially damaged during a forced landing after takeoff from Ocean Springs Airport (5R2), Ocean Springs, Mississippi. The certificated airline transport pilot and two passengers sustained minor injuries. The third passenger was seriously injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan was filed for the personal flight that was conducted under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. In a telephone interview, the pilot stated that earlier on the day of the accident, he flew the 12-mile distance from Trent Lott International Airport (PQL), Pascagoula, Mississippi, to 5R2 in order to pick up the 3 passengers, and consumed "about an hour's worth of fuel" while en route. He then left the airport, went to his home, and then returned "around" 1350 to conduct the flight. Air Traffic Control data revealed that the accident airplane departed PQL at 1254.The pilot boarded the passengers, loaded approximately 40 pounds of luggage, and completed the engine start, run-up, magneto check, taxi, and takeoff roll with no anomalies noted. At 80 to 100 feet above the runway, the airplane "would not climb." At that time, the pilot perceived a loss of engine power and noted that the engine RPM had decayed from 2,300 RPM to about 2,000 RPM. The pilot checked the position of the engine controls, and responded to continuous stall warnings by "lowering the nose," which resulted in a steady loss of altitude. He then selected a narrow street in a residential area, 1/2 mile off the airport for the forced landing.The passengers each provided written statements, and their accounts were consistent with the pilot's, with the exception that they each estimated that the weight of the baggage loaded was between 80 and 100 pounds.PERSONNEL INFORMATIONThe pilot held an airline transport pilot certificate with ratings for airplane single-engine and airplane multiengine. He reported an estimated 4,400 total hours of flight experience, of which 25 hours were in make and model.AIRCRAFT INFORMATIONAccording to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and maintenance records, the airplane was manufactured in 1968 and had accrued 5,946 total aircraft hours as of its most recent annual inspection, which was completed on January 27, 2011. The manufacturer's maximum allowable gross weight was 2,150 pounds. The weight of the airplane at takeoff was calculated using the weight of the occupants, 33 gallons of fuel, and 40 pounds of baggage. The estimated gross weight at takeoff was 2,248 pounds.METEOROLOGICAL INFORMATIONAt 1355, the weather reported at Biloxi, Mississippi, included clear skies and winds from 210 at 10 knots. The temperature was 25 degrees C, and the dewpoint was 20 degrees C. The altimeter setting was 30.22 inches of mercury. WRECKAGE INFORMATIONThe airplane was examined at the accident site on March 19, 2011 by a FAA aviation safety inspector, who also photographed the scene. There was fuel spillage, and the fire department drained approximately 50 gallons of the remaining fuel from the airplane.Examination of the photographs revealed that the right wing was separated by impact, and that the left wing outboard of the wing flap was also separated. The underside of the engine compartment and cockpit showed upward crushing along the right side. One propeller blade was bent aft due to impact.The wreckage was removed from the site and recovered to an automotive repair facility. On April 27, 2011, a wreckage examination and engine run was conducted under the supervision of the FAA. The fuselage was lifted by, and secured to, a forklift. Examination revealed impact damage to the engine mount and several bends in the engine-mount tubing, but no breaks were noted. The exhaust system was restricted due to impact damage, but no breaks in the system were noted.An auxiliary fuel source was plumbed into the fuel system at the electric-driven fuel pump, and a substitute propeller was installed due to the bent propeller blade. The airplane's battery was used for the engine start.The engine started immediately, and ran continuously, but required a few minutes for the spark plugs to "clear" due to the oil that had accumulated while the airplane rested on its side during storage. A magneto check revealed that the left magneto was not operational at the time of the test.The engine was run at various power settings, but could not be accelerated above 2,100 rpm due to the condition of the engine mount.

The VIX.. or volatility index.. is a gage of movement in the market. On Friday it was close to 80-percent.. today the VIX fell back to a normal 25 percent range.
The Dow closed above 400 today on news of a bailout plan for Greece. Local financial expert Tom Muldowney says when we see massive declines like Thursday we get anxious.. and rush to sell.
But Muldowney thinks last week's movement is a short-term psychological blow. He says when it comes to your money.. it's best to stay the course.
"We are always going to live in an environment of volatility. The volatility is because of the day to day uncertainty of what is going to happen in the economy of the entire planet. You get paid for that volatility. That's why the payment on stocks are higher than they are on bonds or money markets."

Toyota to ship British-built Avensis back to Japan
June 30, 2011 by ToyotaBloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Wagon , Japan , Toyota , UK Toyota Avensis wagon – Click above for high-res image gallery Importing Toyotas to Japan may seem like selling ice to the Eskimos, but that's precisely what's in store. In fact, it's Toyota itself that will be bringing the Avensis back to its home market from its global assembly plant in the UK. Demand for European cars in Japan has got Toyota cashing in on the game, exporting as many as 750 units of the Avensis back to the home country. Since the Avensis holds a similar position to the JDM Toyota Mark X , which is available only as a sedan, Toyota will only be offering the Avensis wagon back in Japan, packing a 2.0-liter four mated to a CVT. Japan, of course, will only be the latest market in which the British-built Avensis will be sold, joining a list of 47 countries worldwide to which some 85% of the units built at the Derbyshire plant are exported. Unfortunately, the United States isn't one of 'em, so for those who may want a closer look, we've put together a fresh high-res image gallery for your viewing pleasure.

Toyota to defend against first unintended acceleration trial in 2013
June 13, 2011 by ToyotaBloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Government/Legal , Toyota It already seems as though Toyota's unintended acceleration issues came to a head a lifetime ago, but the courts won't be ready to hear the first case for a long while. Bloomberg reports that U.S. District Judge James V. Selna in California said on the court's website that the first case has tentatively been set for the first quarter of 2013. The first case to come before the court will reportedly be the Van Alfen suit. Paul Van Alfen and a passenger were killed in a November 5, 2010 accident in which his 2008 Toyota Camry crashed into a wall after reportedly accelerating unexpectedly at an exit ramp in Wendover, Utah. The suit claims that the vehicle failed to stop even after Van Alfen slammed on the brakes. Van Alfen's wife and son were injured in the accident, and the two are among the family members suing Toyota. The first case may not be until 2013, but courts will likely be buzzing with activity in the years ahead. Toyota recalled millions of vehicles in the United States for floor mats and sticking accelerator pedals in 2009 and 2010, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration records show that over 100 deaths could be attributable to the automaker's unintended acceleration issues.

2012 Toyota Prius V
May 23, 2011 by ToyotaBloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Hybrid , Wagon , Technology , Crossover , Toyota , First Drive Toyota Masters The Art Of The Conjunctive 2012 Toyota Prius V – Click above for high-res image gallery The hybrid lexicon is a language built on a foundation of disjunction. Buyers may have phenomenal fuel economy or space for kids and cargo. You can embarrass your neighbors at the fuel pump or have a satisfying driving experience. In fact, opting for a battery pack is so fraught with compromise that it's almost as if hybrid manufacturers have completely deleted the conjunctive 'and' from their diction. Even so, that fact hasn't stopped buyers from seeking out electrified vehicles in increasing numbers. Toyota has sold over one million Prius models in the United States since the vehicle first debuted a decade ago. That number blossoms to two million if global sales are accounted for, and the model's popularity has helped usher in a bloom of hybrid products from over 16 manufacturers. The technology may not be the perfect solution to our fuel economy concerns, but the Prius has taken off in ways that would have been difficult to imagine when the first gangly example whirred off the line. Now Toyota is set to grow its Prius lineup with three new models. In fact, Bob Carter , Toyota division group vice president and general manager, says that the Japanese automaker fully expects the Prius family to become its best-selling product line in the near future – beating out internal combustion titans like the Camry and Corolla in the process.
7th-generation Camry coming this fall, Prius expected to take top sales spot
May 21, 2011 by ToyotaBloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Sedan , Toyota 2010 Toyota Camry – Click above for high-res image gallery The current Toyota Camry has been carrying the mid-size sedan torch since 2006, so it's high time for a remake. According to WardsAuto.com , Toyota is busily prepping the next-generation car, and it could be here by the fall. The Japanese automaker has been seeing increased pressure from the latest offerings coming out of Korea and the United States, and now it's time to update its own high-volume money maker. While Toyota sold 327,084 Camrys in 2010 – still at the very front of the midsize family sedan class – that figure represents the lowest sales total for the vehicle since 1994. Somewhat interestingly, though, Toyota apparently sees the Prius hybrid range taking over for the Camry as Toyota's best-selling model.
