It was reported last night that Ravens linebacker Rolando McClain was arrested in Decatur, Alabama for disorderly conduct. We were able to get some more details on the arrest from Lt. John Crouch, who ended up going on the radio with Ed Norris on 105.7 The Fan in Baltimore. Crouch indicated that the Police were called to the park because of disturbance reports. When they arrived they could hear someone yelling "f*** the police." "It appeared that whoever it was was trying to get the crowd stirred up," Crouch said. "They eventually identified the person in the crowd, moved in and told him he was under arrest for disorderly conduct. At which point, he tried to jerk away. The officers grabbed his arms, he continued to struggle, trying to pull the officers further into the crowd. They did eventually get handcuffs on him. At that point, they recognized him as Rolando McClain." McClain is well-known to police in the area as a result of his previous brushes with the law, some of which are still pending and Crouch said it was possible that this arrest could threaten bonds posted in those cases. Crouch also said there was no sign of intoxication and that he felt McClain brought this arrest upon himself. What's really sad is that McClain brought the arrest on himself. It looks he may never learn. Need NFL Tickets? The post Rolando McClain was yelling "f*** the police" prior to his arrest appeared first on Pro Football Zone.

Mysterious Facebook product plumps up shares on Wall Street
Facebook's stock went north on Wall Street - reaching $32 a share yesterday for the first time since July 2011 - basking in the glow of the free content ad network's imminent product announcement. The company sent out invites to the press last week to "come and see what we're building". Surprisingly, the details of what will be …
Aaaaaand Facebook's mysterious product is...
Watch the drop when they realise what the product is.
Re: Watch
How many shares are sold before the announcement
May I be the first to say
WTF? Seriously?
Whatever it is, itl rape your privacy that little bit more
.If the share prices are a climbing, then see above....
Re: Whatever it is, itl rape your privacy that little bit more
You're right, a social networking site would work much better if the site and other users couldn't see any information about you at all. It's nearly as bad as the time BT put my home phone number in their phone book... how is that not illegal?!
I don't know much about modern platforms and you sound like a Java expert to me - does this high level abstraction increase the chances of cross platform vulnerabilities? Makes easier pickings for a coding fraudster no? Also - do you really know more than all 100,000 Microsoft employees combined? And before you start I'm stuck here with XP and a spare Linux stick and don't know what to do next so don't give me any fanboi crap!
Whatever the product, this will not entice me
either to buy Facebook stocks, or to join Facebook
Re: Whatever the product, this will not entice me
I'm with you Michael.
Just last night, I was unfortunate enough to be dragged into a pub. They used to be noisy, sociable places. I actually witnessed 4 grown men sat at a table, their pints on the table, in total silence. It used to be that they'd be arguing over the off-side rule, or footy league results, or which of the birds standing at the bar were the fittest. Not any more. They were all messing with thier sodding 'phones.
"Modern men" are total complete and utter pussies!
Re: Whatever the product, this will not entice me
"That's no pub. It's a wine bar"
(with apologies to the late Alec Guiness)
buy buy sell sell
Best get selling those shares off whilst the price is good.
Nobody wants a facebook phone, if you want facebook on your phone there are loads of phones that do that already either with apps like iOS or integrated into the OS like Windows phone.
To make a search engine that people stop using Google for you will have to make something amazing, since facebook isn't amazing why would anyone think that a search engine produced by facebook would be amazing.
A facebook OS? Seriously
Re: buy buy sell sell
Are you one of the people who a few years ago said "nobody wants FaceBook"? Just trying to gauge how much weight and money to put on your views...
The introduction of random spoonerisms into timeline , eg Base Fook?
Fickle marketing
The stock market is crazy for Facebook, cmon this is a bloody social networking site which prays on the weak and the feeble.
It's sad, and maddening, to think that there are pension funds that can be influenced based on the actions of Zuck and his FragileBook.
Capitilism really does have a nasty side.
prays on the weak and the feeble
and the barely literate?
Re: prays on the weak and the feeble.
May St.Zuck bless you, my son.
Can we say stock price manipulation?
During the SEC mandated quiet period a company is not allowed to make any statements. That includes confirming or denying rumours. Analysts can say pretty much anything they want, start rumours etc and the price of the stock will react. Chances are the results aren't going to be stellar, so pump the price up and dump it before we get any real news.
BTW, the IPO was in 2012
So there's no way you can compare it against a 2011 price.
Mobile os???
They cant even write a mobile app that isn't a POS
My money is on them revealing mobile apps for Facebook that actually work...
I admire your optimism, unwarranted as it is..
If you had bought it at $20, shortly you'd have doubled your money
My money is on FB going north of $38 a share, vitiating any actual damages in the civil cases against FB and the underwriters, leaving only the question of punitive damages and costs. If the stock price is back at the IPO price, was anyone harmed by the alleged selective disclosure?
"Others have attempted perhaps more intelligent guesses about what will be announced, including the possibility of some kind of Facebook OS geared for mobile devices"
A Facebook OS? God-f***ing-forbid. Somebody please, say it isn't so.
How about proof reading???
"Facebook's stock went north on Wall Street - reaching $32 a share yesterday for the first time since July 2011"
A new search product, well whoopeeshit.
Just shows how they're not an innovator.
I can't wait 'till 18:00 GMT tonight...
Me and the missus have better plans than looking at a Facebook announcement....
Re: I can't wait 'till 18:00 GMT tonight...
Take an upvote - much more fun than some miserable bastards I won't mention...
I know the answer
They're going to launch Soylent Green. Yummy.
which Rhume is the Fune in please?
as for "going north" ... .only if the restroom is strategically placed on the north side of the stock exchange.
I think even the Canadian border patrol folks would kick it out.

Being a bilingual or a multilingual person is an edge, which is why it is advised to never be content with just your own mother tongue. Exploring the world and getting to know other culture becomes more fulfilling if you can communicate in more than just a single way. Also it gives you an advantage career wise, especially if you are dealing with clients who live from different countries or are thinking about spreading your business globally. If you have to choose one, what is the best language to learn?
Because the Chinese dominates the globe in terms of population, Mandarin is the world's most spoken language. Spanish comes in second place. Surprisingly, English is only the world's third most used languages. For an English speaker, it would be wise to invest some time learning either Spanish or Mandarin. If you're good, you can even learn both. When asking what is the best language to learn, the number of speakers is a good factor to consider.
Career wise, what is the best language to learn? It depends. If your company is German for example, it would be beneficial to get a lesson in German language. If it is an Asian company, Japanese and Mandarin are your best bets. For travelers, French and Spanish are great choices. Actually, the answer to this question will be dependent on your purpose. If you are just interested to learn another language without a particular option in mind, choose one that you can use for a wide variety of purposes. If you love food, learning a bit of French and Italian won't hurt. If you love Latin American literature, then amp up your Spanish. It is also a wise idea to choose a language that is related to your mother tongue. If you are from the Philippines, Indonesian and Malay are two languages you can pick up pretty fast.

The Sandersaurus was a fearsome beast, but what makes you so sure it was not in fact the Chickfilaopterix? It seems likely to me that they were walking the earth at the same time.
The Sandersaurus was a fearsome beast, but what makes you so sure it was not in fact the Chickfilaopterix? It seems likely to me that they were walking the earth at the same time.
This is a great idea, thanks!
I was hoping we could spend some time today in Awkwardland, actually! The most recent round of the Awkward Madness has some intriguing pairings, and I worry that my final four picks are facing stiff competition.
Restroom conversation is doing alarmingly well against Replying-All, for instance, although it's still a stiff battle. And forgetting the name of only one of two people you're introducing is actually beating Talking Pleasantly And At Length To Someone Not Talking To You. Is it really that bad? I suppose it's less of a victimless awkwardness than blabbing to a person not addressing you is.
Thank you so much for the update! I was wondering!
I think we need to find a super librarian to add to the mix on this, because I am not yet willing to admit defeat. Isn't this kind of Google-resistant query the reason we still have people? I don't have any good working librarian relationships at the moment (I'm more of a buyer than a borrower) but who's got a fab one?
I had a brief but embarrassing phase of confusing passenger and carrier pigeons (quickly following the equally brief and equally embarrassing phase when I thought 'opposable thumbs' were 'reversible thumbs') during which I assumed that the thing that had sent them extinct was that they were exhausted from carrying all our messages and had dropped out of the sky.
I was going to specify "when you can hear the unmistakable sound of someone doing business," which ups the ante for the ladies, but -- you are so right. If this makes the finals, that will be why. Everything I know about manly restroom conversation I learned on House of Cards, and that seems like a poor source.
See, this is why everyone needs equal time on Cosmos.
Hi, person who was lost earlier in this chat!
This is actually an allusion to something I tweeted yesterday, because I was completely baffled by the fact that two people had discovered the blog by Googling "www jamesbond sex wp". One might have been regarded as some kind of horrible mistake. Two sounds like a club.
Are you still on hold?
Keep us posted! How's the music selection?
This is the most temperamental poll I've ever built and I don't know why it sometimes works and sometimes does not, but if you take it straight through in Google Chrome, either incognito or un, it'll show you the results as you go. At least in my experience.
The big takeaway is that Life and other high-concept things like The 80s are losing instantly and bigtime to small specific moments of definable discomfort.
I should know what the pig's great ancestor was, but all I can remember is the Megatherium, a sloth four hundred times the size of your average sloth nowadays, and I am very very sure that was not the pig.
*hold music drum solo*
Hold music and airport music used to sound as though they came from the same supplier, but I think airport music has gotten better while hold music has stagnated.
Also, it was from a clear Either/Or first round: Life or Death. You could argue that Life is the Great All-Encompassing All-Awkward Moment, but I don't think most people voting have seen it that way.
Wait, you don't walk up to people and say, "Nice member, Jim, but how's that story coming?"
I know you're supposed to stand as far as possible, but I thought maybe you could sort of yell over the dividers, if such existed in your 'stroom.
Passenger Pigeons are the indolent pre-Revolution French aristocracy of pigeons.
I think that's a strong prediction based on its performance so far. I foresee a little unexpectedly stiff competition from room-elephants, but that might just be weird optimism on my part.
And how does all of this beat being a tween? Being a tween, guys! Look at tweens!
That's the whole point! Where do you think I got them, some kind of Awkward Moments Generator?
There's another term for an Awkward Moments Generator, and that's My Entire Life.
So, if I'm ever in a men's room, as a man, because I'm deep undercover for some reason or other, what are some examples of things I could say? Just nothing? Can you whistle? Can you say, "Hey, I have no interest in taking a gander at you, what do you think about those score results from the game?" I always assumed that the reason women didn't advance in business for years was because the guys just chilled in the restroom and got all their business done there.
I am especially sad because the thing that didn't work for you seems to be called a jetpack. Maybe your mistake was trying to plug the jetpack in.
But in all seriousness, ugh. What a lousy waste of time and money.
Duly noted.
What about over by the sinks?
I assume tapping is right out, too?
Also, try not to type audibly.
Aw, Martha!
This is why we can't have nice things.
Whoa, this is like a magical dream-world!
I am learning a lot!
What about the stalls?
See, so, actually the whole "Why do women all go to the bathroom together?" stereotype question is easily answered: the problem is the men's room, not the women's room. The women's room has stalls and camaraderie and it's not completely beyond the pale to initiate conversation, although it can be awkward if the conversation continues all the way through. Whereas the men's restroom sounds like having to do business in a terrifying etiquette minefield. It's on YOU, not on US!
My favorite awkward moment is Date Lab when one person had a 5 and is eager to re-meet and the other person thought it was a 3 and is eager not to return the other person's calls.
Bathroom flossers are people I don't understand and could never become. Flossing is awkward enough as a thing you lie to your dentist about twice a year, but actually doing it in the company of defecating strangers? Nope. Nope, thanks.
To be honest, I'm not sure what the exact rule is for stall conversation, but I think the loose guideline is that it has to start before the peeing starts. You can't interrupt mid-stream.
Thanks, Larry!
It actually sounds like the way to be left alone is just to walk in. The men's restroom sounds like a strange dysfunctional place.
Tell me you have sinks.
Thought experiment:
stalls for everyone in one giant restroom. Pros: men are in and out quicker, so the turnaround rate would be higher.
Cons: end to the elaborate etiquette dance you just described.
Pros: it sounds as though every single problem the men have that requires this etiquette would be solved if they had stalls as default rather than as an option.
Fine by me! I have never used the sofa except as a receptacle for things that you can carry into a restroom without attracting too much side-eye but are unwieldy to bring also into the stall.
*sighs exaggeratedly* as if the men would even NOTICE!
(Hey, as long as this is turning into Gender Stereotypes Tuesday...)
Efficient, yes. But the off-the-charts-awkward, completely-verboten rating you've been giving any interaction whatever in there makes me wonder.
Thank you for doing the honorable thing.
Remind me not to be a man at an old-timey baseball stadium.
Yeah, didn't really address the Pervert Problem.
Is there no way to pervert-proof a facility? Besides having those giant floor-to-ceiling stalls. Maybe a multi-cabin experience?
Ah, but it's on the outside of the stalls in the vestibule area!
I concur. But often people who want to talk to you in the restroom, as a general rule, are people you don't want to talk to anywhere else.
They say a kiss with a fistbump is better than none.
But surely, at the sinks -- yes, I realize I am really pushing sinks here -- as you wash your hands, you might exchange a pleasantry -- not pleasantries plural, mind you, but an individual pleasantry?
I'm not sure the minimal amounts of interaction actually relieve it for us. I think our default is a pretty non-awkward experience. You do your business in private. Whereas your default is that for speed and efficiency everyone does it in public, and consequently you have all these lane restrictions to make it as private as possible. If everyone were a little less relaxed you'd have stalls as a default, and if everyone were a little more relaxed nobody would have a problem, but instead we are where we are.
Whoa, no, I haven't! I know there used to be a bathroom in Georgetown (listed as Best Bathroom of 2009, I believe, by the Express) where everyone had a stall and common sinks, but it was at the restaurant formerly known as Mienyu.
Wasn't there also a thing with Rick Perry, where he --
A bad back doomed any chance Perry stood to break through. It became an open secret that he was using painkillers in sufficient dosages to keep him standing through the two-hour debates. The manager of a rival campaign was at a urinal in an empty bathroom in Hanover, New Hampshire, before the Bloomberg News debate on October 11, when he heard someone come through the door loudly singing "I've Been Working on the Railroad." Wondering who was making all the noise, the campaign manager turned his head and saw, to his surprise, the governor of Texas. Perry came down the row of about twenty urinals and stood companionably close by. Nonplussed, the campaign manager made a hasty exit; as the bathroom door closed, he could hear Perry still merrily singing away: "I-I-I've been working on the ra-a-i-i-l-road, all-l-l the live-long day . . ."
Asked about the episode, a top campaign official said, "He whistles. I wouldn't read anything into it."
(from Politico's Inside The Circus)
I'm sorry, this was unforeseen!
We've just doubled the awkwardness of this restroom conversation.
Cantankerous Older Rabbits are the best kind.
I always wonder what the people on the other end think. The callers must assume they can't hear, but -- can they?
I liked it too!
Ah, yes, a dose of reality.
Hi, librarians!
(Audible laughter on my end)
This is very good to know, and I don't think the chat can top this.
Well, that's certainly a possibility.
I'll add 'em to the bathroom list! The bathroom list that I am starting just now!
I think we are still pretty sure it's not Watership Down, but there have been three suggestions today from varying sources asking if we're sure.
That is quite literally a nightmare scenario.

Docker offers a new, lightweight approach to application portability. Applications are shipped using a common container format and managed with a high-level API. Their processes run within isolated namespaces that abstract the operating environment independently of the distribution, versions, network setup, and other details of this environment. This "containerization" has often been nicknamed "the new virtualization." But containers are more than lightweight virtual machines. Beyond their small...

The move in recent years to cloud computing services and architectures has added significant pace to the application development and deployment environment. When enterprise IT can spin up large computing instances in just minutes, developers can also design and deploy in small time frames that were unimaginable a few years ago. The consequent move toward lean, agile, and fast development leads to the need for the development and operations sides to work very closely together. Thus, DevOps become...

Leap Card
Leap Card
▶ What is a Leap Card?
▶ What is Travel Credit and how does it work?
Travel Credit works in a similar way to mobile phone credit. Every time you use the card to travel the cost of the journey is deducted. If there is no credit on the card it cannot be used for any further journeys until it is 'Topped Up'. Customers can Top-Up their cards:
- Online at www.leapcard.ie
- At Leap Card agents
- At Luas Ticket Machines
- At DART and Commuter Rail Ticket Machines in the Short Hop Zone
- Auto top-up is also available online at www.leapcard.ie
▶ Where can I buy a Leap Card?
You can buy a Leap Card online at www.leapcard.ie
Leap Card agents
There are over 400 Leap Card agent shops around Dublin where you can:
- Buy a Leap Card
- Top-Up your Leap Card
- Collect Travel Credit purchased online (if you nominated the agent network as your collection point).
Go to www.payzone.ie to find the closest agent to you.
DART and Commuter Rail Ticket Machines
You can now buy and Top-Up your Leap Card at ticket machines in all DART and Commuter Rail stations in the 'Short Hop Zone'.
Travel Credit, 24 hour and 7 day tickets can be purchased at Leap Card agents (PayZone agents). Just look for the Leap Card sign. For a list of Leap Card agents in Cork see www.leapcard.ie
▶ How much does an adult Leap Card cost?
▶ Why should I register my Leap Card?
- Once you register your card you don't need to complete an online form for every online Top-Up
- You can view your card history online
- You can manage additional Leap Cards through your account (e.g. your child's Leap Card)
- You can use the auto top-up function
▶ How do I Top-Up?
- Place the card in the pocket provided.
- Select the Top-Up amount from options shown on the screen.
- Insert the amount selected - notes/coins/credit or debit cards accepted.
- Remove the Leap Card from the pocket as indicated on screen.
Your Leap Card is now Topped-Up and ready for immediate use.
Leap Cards can also be Topped-Up online:
- Go to www.leapcard.ie
- Click 'Top-Up'.
- Enter your card number.
- Select Top-Up amount and load location.
- Make your payment by credit/debit card.
- Collect your Top-Up at your nominated Load Location.
Auto Top-Up Function
If you register your Leap Card you can select the auto top-up function this offers the user the facility to automatically reload their Card with value for a pre-determined amount from their bank account when the value on their Leap Card falls below a certain threshold. Registered Leap Card users can opt-in by signing into their online account at LeapCard.ie.
▶ Where can I use my Leap Card?
- Dublin Bus
- DART and Commuter Rail
- Luas
- It can also save you money on selected Bus Éireann, Wexford Bus, Swords Express, and Matthews Coaches services
- It is also rolling out to some Bus Éireann services in Cork
Dublin Bus
Your Leap Card can be used for travel on all Dublin Bus services, including Airlink, Xpresso and Nitelink.
DART and Commuter Rail
Your Leap Card can be used for rail travel between stations within the 'Short Hop Zone'. This Zone includes all stations in the Dublin area from Greystones to Balbriggan and commuter Stations from Dublin City Centre to Maynooth and from Dublin Heuston to Hazelhatch.
Leap Card can be used for travel on all Luas services.
▶ What is the "short hop zone"?
▶ How do I view my Travel Credit balance?
▶ How much are Leap Card fares?
▶ Why does my card not validate properly sometimes?
1. Incorrect positioning of the Leap Card
If the Leap Card is not placed against the 'target' on the validator, it will not be read.
Ensure that the card is held steadily against the 'target' on the validator for at least a second.
Do not wave the card over the validator. Just hold it there until the beep.
On DART and Commuter Rail, do not put the Leap Card into the horizontal paper ticket slot on a gate.
2. Other smart card interference
Remove the Leap Card from your wallet or bag before using it. Other cards you may have in your wallet or bag can cause interference with your Leap Card, which will make it inoperable.
▶ I think I have been charged too much for a journey I made on Luas, DART or Commuter Rail.
If you believe you did Touch-Off or if you believe there was a problem with the system on the day you travelled, then call customer care at 1850 824 824 and we'll investigate the issue.

20 brands experimenting with Vine video ads
Brands are beginning to experiment with Twitter's video app Vine, which allows users to create six-second slices of video content.
Vine: Twitter's video app
Over the weekend and yesterday there was much Tweeting about how porn had already reached Twitter's Vine video app.
Twitter has now taken action and has banned searches for explicit content and deleted X-rated users. It has also apologised for a "human error" that highlighted a graphic NSFW clip on the Vine homepage on Monday - Not the kind of showcase we had been expecting.
Now some more positive experiments are taking place as brands begin realise how they can use the service for mini ads. Or if not ads then amusing pieces of bite-sized content. Is that the same thing? I think it is.
Mostly American brands have signed up so far, but there are a few Brits experimenting too and I'm sure there will be plenty of others to follow shortly.
What's fascinating here is the level of creativity...and the crazy dancing. Some were questioning the point of six seconds of video. I think these brand Vines go someway to answering that question and show the kind of fun you can have.
Some of the 20+ brands having a try include @thinkmodo, @msnbc, @UpDesk, @thedailybeast, @NBCNews, @BuzzFeed, @barbariangroup, @CNNEEfans, @CellJournalist, @InternetUK, @AlMonitor, @imaginateonline, @techdotmag, @UrbanOutfitters, @Gap, Birmingham City FV (@BcfcDotCom), @Moose_Tracks, @PBS, @RedVines, @WheatThins, @confused_com and @generalelectric.
And of course @BrandRepublic, created by @thebenhall, one of Brand Republic's producers, @Brproducers.
Another @brandrepublic themed Vine vine.co/v/bJpP7ALx1bl— Ben Hall (@thebenhall) January 29, 2013

HICKORY Hickory Mayor Rudy Wright cruised to victory over challenger Joseph "Jody" Inglefield in Tuesday's election, with 2,632 votes to Inglefield's 2,116 in complete but unofficial returns.
The win secured Wright four more years in office. Wright has already held office for 12 years.
"I want to thank the people of Hickory who voted today," Wright said. "I promise them that once again, I promise to be the mayor of all people, if the results turn out in my favor."
Inglefield could not be reached for comment.
The mayor's race was contentious and even personal at times. During a mayoral forum in September, Inglefield called for fresh leadership and harshly criticized the current leadership in City Hall.
Wright expressed frustration with what he viewed as personal attacks.
"It's disappointing, from my standpoint, that the people running against me – it's been more about personal issues and settling scores, instead of issues affecting the community, like jobs," said Wright.

The phenomenon in which one can tolerate a person's speech, found infuriating in normal life for reasons of pitch or subject matter, due to the ingestion of alcohol or other intoxicating substances. A common symptom of excessive drinking, this condition may also be associated with beer goggles.

We spent most of the weekend trying to stay cool. The kids played in the splash pool on and off all day. Late Saturday afternoon a slight breeze kicked up and it felt kind of nice outside in the shade. Sunday it got a little cooler and so it felt good even though it was still hot. Its amazing how 88F feels cool when its been 100F the previous day.
Today its back to normal for this time of year. It will get to about 79F and started out with fog. Its also back to normal for the routines as well. Not much longer though before the kids are out of school.

Our weekend was fun. We made a spontaneous trip to Missouri Friday night and spent the night with my mom. We had to come home Saturday, but it was worth it! We had a great time.
Sunday, we spent recovering from being in the car so much.
The kids are wrapping up the school year this week with a lot of fun activities. Yesterday was Rodeo Day and they went to the rodeo arena and got to rope pretend bulls and watch their principal rope calves. The rest of the week they will have picnics and little field trips to some local attractions. Friday is the end of the year assembly and the last day.

Can an American motorcycle icon decode Indian culture?
BANGALORE — Imagine a motorcycle designed for cruising on U.S. highways traversing through potholed roads while dodging quick-footed street vendors, assorted stray dogs and ambling cows.
That is no incongruity. The iconic, heavyweight Harley-Davidson motorcycles will soon thunder through the traffic-clogged streets of India, one of the world's largest motorcycle markets, where an estimated 100 million bikes are already on the roads.
The American classic's entry into India, long embroiled in diplomatic parleys about tariffs and emission regulations, was finally cleared in a 2007 trade negotiation famously termed the Mango-Motorcycle deal. The quid pro quo agreement allowed the import of Harley-Davidsons into India, in return for the export of Indian mangoes to the U.S.
Heralding the motorcycle brand's arrival in India last week, two dozen classic Harley-Davidsons roared through downtown New Delhi, in streets dominated by Japanese brands such as Suzuki, Honda, Yamaha and Kawasaki.
Eager Indian bikers will be able to buy the first of the motorcycles from dealers in 2010. The bikes will be manufactured and assembled overseas and imported to India.
For Harley-Davidson, which has battled flagging sales in Western markets and has attempted to boost revenues through events and aggressive brand licensing, India is attractive territory.
The aspiration level of India's middle class is rising. These consumers increasingly covet foreign brands in all product categories ranging from clothing to sports shoes, deodorants to, Harley hopes, HOGs (the porcine acronym for the company's devoted members club, Harley Owners Group).

I purchased this waterer to use in the flight cage for my Society Finches. We were planning a week long trip, and I was concerned that the bird could run out of water while our friend was caring for them, as they emptied the waterers I was using then every day and a half or so.I chose this one because of the shape. I find it attractive, but more than that, my birds LOOOOOVE to bathe, and if they could get into the water, they'd make a mess of it, so I was hoping that the teardrop shape would prevent that, and it does! It doesn't allow a huge amount of water into the base at a time either, so they'd REALLY have to work to get wet! ;^)If need be, it can last week (though I prefer to change it every 2 or 3 days to keep it fresh and clean inside), so we can go away, and not worry about them a bit!
Best bird feeder yet don't delay it's beautiful and the birds love it. I would buy this again hands down.

This is an additional 5mm running guide for use with MicroWave™ line control system.
Introducing the MicroWave Guide System by the American Tackle Company. Inventor Doug Hannon also known as "The Bass Professor" partnered with American Tackle to conceive, design and manufacture the perfect "line control" system for spinning rods.
The system addresses coiling-memory issues with monofilament but it's ideal for braided lines and really something that has to be felt and seen to be believed. It provides noticeable advantages that standard guide trains cannot by combining science, practical application and custom rod building principles. Many long hours of theory, design & physical testing has resulted in possibly the most dynamic guide train developments to date.
Increased Casting Distance.
Achieved by capturing and directing energy into forward motion maintaining line speed.
Reduction in Fatigue. Less force is required for casting using increased line speed because the blank will load and recover more naturally without inhibition from increased line vibration.
Increased Casting Accuracy. Less force is required for casting using increased line speed because the blank will load and recover more naturally without inhibition from increased line vibration.
Increased Lure Range of Rod. Using controlled energy, lighter & heavier lure weights can be used without rod blank materials compensating for lost efficiency.
Wind Knot Tangling Elimination. Converts "pushing line energy" through a guide ring into "pulling line energy" preventing line from traveling beyond the larger stripper guide ring not allowing it to override the frame creating wrapping or knot formation. " And if that isn't enough we utilize our brand new Snagless running guides out to the tip". "Why use a stripping guide that's tangle free when you can use a guide that all but eliminates tangles and then employs snagless running guides for added insurance"
Set includes 1 stripper guide, 1 transition guide & 7 running guides (9 total based on a 7' spinning rod, additional running guide available for longer rods). Also includes suggested layout measurements.
In order to ensure optimum performance using the MicroWave Line Control System, American Tackle has developed these guide spacing suggestions. While not required or absolute, these layouts have been tested to provide the advertised benefits.
These layouts were developed for spinning rods with 8 1/2" rear grips and uplocking spin seat. Running guide adjustments may be required if different handle lengths are used. Static deflection recommended for running guide placements. Stripping guide/transition guide & reel spool distances should remain constant.
The MicroWave Line Control System is a complete set of guides that act in conjunction to deliver performance benefits to a fishing rod's cast. This system utilizes a unique double ring stripping guide where a larger ring captures the fishing line and a secondary ring instantly controls it. The controlled line maintains line speed and increases casting distance by eliminating the oscillating line movement caused when line leaves the spool of a spinning reel during a cast. Completing the system is a transition guide and snagless-designed running guides continuing total line control for the duration of the cast.
Originally the focus was on improving performance of stiffer lines such as monofilament & fluorocarbon due to their coiling memory. During development modifications were made to work for braided lines as well. Final testing has proven significant performance increases with all fishing lines.
Extensive research and development has been conducted to provide a "complete" system that will absolutely work. Design, sizing & quantities in the complete set ensure performance and function as advertised.
No, this system is only sold as a complete set of 9 guides intended for a 7' spinning rod. The running guides can be purchased separately for additions to rod builds longer than 7'.
The stripping guide is a 20mm/6mm ring combination, the transition guide is a 6mm & the running guides are all 5mm rings.
No you can use your own spacing or amend our spacing if you desire. Our layout is only suggested spacing. It has been proven to provide the advertised benefits. The most critical distances are from the spool to stripping guide-transition-first running guide. Our goal is to provide a complete system that is proven to work.
You can add running guides for longer rods and either remove or rearrange the running guides on shorter rods. The running guide placement is less critical than the stripping & transition guides.
The layout was verified using 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000 & 4000 size reels. It was geared more toward center spool height & angle as well spool circumference.
The practical line range would be for anything between 2-20# lines. The intended application would be for light to medium inland water & inshore applications.
All development and subsequent performance testing was conducted using a 6mm Light Ring Lock top (NCRLLT, NBRLLT, DCRLLT, DBRLLT) although varying ring sizes didn't hinder performance. Specialized tops are currently in development due out in the beginning of 2013.
It absolutely does, in every guide train configuration tested. Depending on which system used for comparison, the weight reduction is significant, in some cases more than 50%. Weight comparisons were conducted against standard Cone of Flight, New Guide Concept & the KR Concept guide sets based on 7'spinning rod design.
Not currently. This system was designed with specific focus on overall improvement and replacement of the most widely used fishing rods worldwide. This includes primarily stainless frames in black and chrome configurations.
Yes, at this time there is only the spinning system on the market. The overall theory behind the MicroWave Line Control System holds true for any rod that casts. The future will bring dynamic new MicroWave introductions designed specifically to achieve total line control.
Depends on the set, if comparing to a set of "standard" guides, then yes - however, many guide set options cost quite a bit more than the MicroWave guides. The point to note is that there are no other comparable guides in existence making any price comparison irrelevant.

Serving Chicago's famous stuffed pizza along with our not so less famous thin crust pizza, salad's, soup's, sandwiches, pasta's and more.
In the four decades since the first Papa Saverio's opened its doors, the pizzeria has expanded to more than 20 locations but stayed true to the family recipes its founders brought from Italy. As a tribute to their long paddle across the Atlantic, a Venetian gondola wraps around the pizzeria's logo; though the boat's five-pronged prow has become its signature of sorts, it's Saverio's oven-baked pies that continue to earn the eatery new fans. Guests can choose from a menu of specialty pizzas or create their own from more than 25 toppings and five crusts, including a double-stuffed crust that nearly bursts with melted cheese. Chefs also churn out Italian classics, such as calzones, family-size pasta dishes, house-specialty ribs, and fried chicken. Lest anyone question the Italian origins of the latter two items, the pizzeria serves each with a buttery garlic breadstick.
At Luigi's Pizza and Fun Center, no belly goes unfilled, and no guest leaves bored. Between bites from a menu offering hamburgers, hot wings, and pizzas, kids and adults alike can explore Luigi's entertaining confines. An arcade with more than 100 games entices with flashing lights, cheery sounds, and whispered advice on how to get to the kill screen, and a mini-bowling alley hosts frames. Nearby, a three floor, 4,500-square-foot laser-tag arena glows with friendly beams, and ghostly black lights transform the space into an otherworldly battlefield.
The menu at Amato's Pizzeria spans the entire spectrum of Italian cooking with lasagna, meatball sandwiches, panzerotti, and calzones each eliciting their share of salivating, but the pizza is the true centerpiece of the menu. Since the establishment's inception in 1966, the chefs have whipped up their own pizza sauce from scratch and made dough fresh each morning to create a delectable canvas for 24 available toppings. Pies arrive in thin-crust, double-dough, pan-style, and stuffed Chicago-style forms, piping hot and ready to be devoured by the slice or handed out to members of an easily persuaded jury.
When childhood pals Michael Caringella and Armand Christopher bought Elmwood Park's Victory Tap in 1956, one of their first orders of business was determining whom their new establishment would be named after. In the end Michael won the deciding coin toss and, to dodge any complaints that might arise, slyly chose to dub their eatery Armand's Victory Tap. With Armand's original artwork gracing the walls and Michael's decadent thin-crust pizza flying from the oven, the restaurant received far more compliments than criticisms; and although Armand sold his portion to Mike in the 1960s, the eatery—since renamed Armand's Pizzeria—still thrives today.
City dwellers and suburbanites alike can taste a slice of the original thin-crust pie at any of Armand's 10 locations. Though menus differ slightly at each eatery, all contain thin- or pan-crust pizzas crowned with an array of fresh toppings, ranging from ham, bacon, and pineapple to feta and kalamata olives to italian beef and spicy giardiniera. Beyond pizza, the chefs pull fresh-baked mozzarella mostaccioli from the oven, glaze baby back ribs with tangy barbecue sauce, and assemble hearty sandwiches from italian beef, italian sausage, and genuine italian leather.
Luigi's Pizza & Pasta's owner, Michael Maretick, was featured on Chicago's Best for his popular deep dish pies, which have been a local favorite for nearly 40 years. Each one starts with made-from-scratch pizza dough, then cheese, followed by a generous serving of Luigi's secret house-made sauce. Additional toppings include green peppers, mushrooms, black olives, and giardiniera, plus a pie-sized sausage patty that ensures a bite of sausage in every bite. To complement their renowned deep dish pies, Michael and his team also craft thin crust ones, too, and, upon request, they can even make an extra-thin crust pizza for fans of that style or anyone trapped inside an outgoing mail box.
