Ready to run
Denver Broncos 335-pound defensive tackle Terrance Knighton sat at his locker and chuckled at the thought of his first trip to the playoffs, his belly shaking like a shopping mall Santa Claus.
It's almost time for some throwback football, he said, for the jelly-belly linemen and the tailbacks so often overlooked in today's pass-heavy NFL to dust off the cobwebs and take center stage again.
"I think during the regular season, it's about who puts up 40 points," Knighton said. "But in the playoffs, you've got to take care of the ball, eat up the clock and play good defense."
The teams that reached the Super Bowl last season weren't the ones with the best records but the two that led all playoff teams in carries per game in the postseason.
That's one reason the Broncos followed their free agent acquisition of slot receiver Wes Welker by drafting 220-pound running back Montee Ball, the bruising Badger who could move the sticks in the fourth quarter. That's something they were unable to do with lightweight Ronnie Hillman during their playoff pratfall against the Ravens last January.
Not that Peyton Manning, the first quarterback in the NFL's 93-year history to throw for 50-plus touchdowns and 5,000-plus yards in a season, will suddenly just hand off next month. But he knows a good ground game is the foundation for a solid aerial show.
"When you're just throwing it over and over again, teams start to bring more and more pressure and just tee off on you," Bengals offensive lineman Andrew Whitworth said. "We're creating that scenario where it's hard to know which one you want to do. Even though people say throwing is the new generation, running the football will always be the hammer in the sense that it can eliminate many defensive game plans.
"That's why it's so pivotal to be able to stop it for every team in the league," Whitworth added. "If you can stop the run you're going to be a good defense, and if you can't, you never will be a good defense."
Denver couldn't stop the run earlier this month against San Diego, which leads the league in time of possession (33:21). The Chargers upset Denver 27-20 when Manning spent most of his night on the sideline.
The metric that best shows effectiveness running the football or stopping the run is first-down percentage. It's akin to on-base percentage in baseball.
Of the teams who have clinched a playoff berth or are in the running heading into the final weekend, Kansas City, behind the AFC's leading rusher, Jamaal Charles, has the best first-down percentage at 24.9, followed by New England at 23.0 and Denver at 22.7.
In the NFC, it's Philadelphia, led by the league's top rusher, LeSean McCoy, at 26.6, followed by Green Bay at 25.9 and Carolina at 24.9. Of those three teams, only the Panthers have clinched a playoff spot.
Now, the other side.
Baltimore is the best in the AFC at getting off the field and getting the ball back for its offense, allowing a first down on just 17.6 percent of all running plays, followed by Cincinnati (18.9) and Kansas City (20.2).
In the NFC, the top teams are Arizona (18.7), which could go 11-5 and miss out on the postseason party, Carolina (19.6) and San Francisco (19.7).

Visiting Us
Because it's never easy to visit a new church for the first time....
Join with us every Sunday at 10:30 am
What can you expect when you visit for the first time at South?
You will be greeted warmly by someone from the church, who will provide you with a bulletin describing the way we worship and containing all the material you need to fully understand and participate in the service.
As you enter the sanctuary, you will see lots of folks greeting one another and catching up on news. If you arrive early enough, you may hear our choir warming up. Our service is formal, but comfortable, in style, and changes a little from week to week. With the printed order of worship, you will find it easy to follow the service as it progresses. Of course, any of the people near you will be happy to answer questions you might have during the service. But don't worry – you won't be singled out during the service in any way. The length of our service varies, but usually runs about 60-70 minutes. Stop by, relax, and enjoy what could become the most refreshing hour of your week!
There is no dress code at South Church. Come dressed up or come casual, just come as you are.
The celebration of Communion is observed on the first Sunday of every month, and anyone can participate in this time of reflection and prayer. We serve Welch's Grape Juice instead of wine.
Coffee Hour
Immediately following the worship service, please join us for refreshments and conversation in the Assyrian Memorial Parlor.
Children & Teens
Children and teens are welcome to join in the worship service. At the close of the children's sermon, children through middle school age may leave to attend Grace Place (Sunday School) classes
A fully equipped nursery provides quality care for children five years of age or younger. Crafts, games, and story-time are included, and parents are encouraged to visit.
The Sanctuary and all parts of the church campus are handicapped accessible. If you have any questions or require assistance, please see one of the greeters or any church member.
Listening Assistance
Hearing-assistance devices are available to enable hard-of-hearing people to listen to the sermons, prayers, and music.

Marine Animal Encyclopedia
Orange Roughy Hoplostethus atlanticus
The orange roughy is one of the longest-lived fish species, with individuals having been recorded to reach at least 149 years old. It is a bright, brick-red color, but appears black in the dark waters in which it lives and this helps to hide it from predators.
The orange roughy is a deep-bodied fish with a large head, armed with spines behind the eyes and on the gill covers. The scales on the belly also have sharp spines. Orange roughy live in deep water in rugged, rocky areas and over steep, rough ground, and have a relatively limited home range.
Orange roughy are primarily caught with bottom trawls that damage the seafloor and catch any species in their path. Populations of the fish have been wiped out by overfishing and may take decades to recover.
What Oceana Does
Orange roughy are found near the Juan Fernández Islands, where Oceana campaigns to ban bottom trawling on vulnerable marine ecosystems. Oceana has made several expeditions to the archipelago.

ITT: What got you interested in pokémon originally? For me, it was seeing my brothers play/watch it. Then they showed me how to play and gave me some cards (which no one ever knew how to use.) One of them even gave me a holo Charizard.
#38909 to #38854 - sekundab (08/29/2012) [-]
It began when I was like 6 years old and many of my friends had pokemon. I was like : Mom, Dad get me a Gameboy! So first they got me a cheap game what kinda looked like gameboy, but I told them, that that isnt what I wanted, so next xmas the Santa brought a real Gameboy to my brother and me. But that wasnt it yet. We got a logical game named Snood with it, so we rarely played it. But then my namesday came (We, in Slovakia have tied a name to every day in calendar, so when you are Michael for example, you have your namesday on 29. of september. Funny, isnt it?) and I have got two another games for our Gameboy Advance - Donkey Kong Country 2 and Mario vs Donkey Kong, because my little brother told my parents I want that, but I didnt. I have always wanted pokemon games. Later, I told my mother about that, but she was like meh... Fast forward some years later to year 2010 or eleven when I bought Pokemon Ruby from my friend and my journey began! THE END! btw, sorry for long post, but you asked me what got me interested so.. :D
#38859 to #38854 - nyanturtwig (08/29/2012) [-]
I just remember playing blue when I was like three, I don't remember getting it I was born a year before it was released in the US, the first pokemon game I actually got, was pokemon silver along with my first gameboy advanced, I was a fan as soon as I picked up the game
#38883 to #38874 - nyanturtwig (08/29/2012) [-]
I don't know, I always kind of make pokemon deep, some of my fondest memories involve pokemon, it's like pokemon will always be there for me, I remember one time when the power was out at my house during the middle of the summer, I remember sleeping on my deck challenging the elite four of Ruby huddled up in my sleeping bag all night long, until I beat them, that feel ounce you finally beat them (this one isn't that deep but you get the point)
#38887 to #38886 - tepeniam (08/29/2012) [-]
Everyone goes through that phase, even I did. Sold all my shit to GameStop. Now it just makes me mad that I'd do that. Now my cousin is going through the phase. It happens. I hope your brother gets over it. Then, the race will be back on!
#38890 to #38887 - nyanturtwig (08/29/2012) [-]
I doubt a phase like that could last as long as he's been without pokemon (which was since Saphire and Ruby came out) I'll admit he tried again with Black, but he gave up after the first five minutes of the game, so I gave it to one of my friends who wanted the game ( he seriously said he didn't want to play the game at all after the first five minutes)

How collaborative is the process?Robbie: 'Ben and I meet in London and LA to go through it all, from my initial inspirations through to how that materialises to final product. He's a really talented guy, and I'm lucky he's here to facilitate all my ideas for the brand.' Ben: 'We discuss ideas and concepts: books, films, characters, heroes, magazines and of course vintage shopping. From there I'll go away, and 'make it happen'. Much like when Rob works with writers or producers to create great music, we do the same with clothes.' Ben, how has your experience at Burberry trained you for the job?Ben: 'Working with Christopher [Bailey] and the team gave me a great insight into the runnings of a global luxury brand.

Death and Dying
Chinese culture, patients are often not told the life-threatening
aspects of a serious illness such as cancer. The family is
usually told. Family members often wish to care for the person
at home if possible. However, some believe that if the patient
dies at home, this may have harmful effects on children in
the home. In these instances, relatives may wish the patient
to die in a setting other than the home, such as a hospital
or hospice. The family may wish to be at the bedside of a
hospitalized dying patient.
White is the color for mourning; wearing all white or all
black may be considered bad luck by some Chinese.
Families may not wish to allow autopsies, and are often unwilling
to donate body parts. Other death and dying practices are
closely related to religious beliefs.

U.S. ports outpaced their Canadian rivals on the east coast of North America during the first quarter, with solid growth at Savannah helping the U.S. Southeast surpass other regions.
21 May 2014
Rising capital needs in an era of carrier alliances and huge ships may force neighboring ports to put aside their differences and cooperate, said CEO James Newsome of the South Carolina Port Authority.
01 Apr 2014
South Carolina's new inland port at Greer will get a big increase in the volume of autos and containers it handles for rail shipment to and from the Port of Charleston over the next couple of years. The leg up will come from the $1 billion investment that BMW announced March 28 to expand production at its automobile plant in nearby Spartanburg over the next two years.

Salton Inc.'s latest grill in its Next Grilleration™ George Foreman® product line boasts increased versatility to accommodate every meal with a new design and added features. The new G5 indoor grill features an 84-in cooking surface and is the first to feature five removable grilling surface plates—the traditional George Foreman grilling surface, a shallow bake pan, a griddle, and a set of waffler plates.
According to Gary Ragan, marketing vice president for Salton, the company decided to integrate removable plates to increase cleaning ease. "Although everyone loves their George Foreman grill, we are always looking for improvements." In designing the removable plates, Mr. Ragan says Salton had to ensure cooking heat and performance was the same quality as its previous grills. Salton met that requirement by brazing the heating element onto a rectangular plate to which the removable plates attach. "Because the rectangular plate takes up about 80 percent of the grill plate, the heat transfer is very strong and is very evenly distributed," Mr. Ragan tells APPLIANCE.
The company says all grilling plates are coated with its proprietary George Tough, triple non-stick coating, which reportedly outlasted other leading indoor grills in an abrasion test by 66,000 strokes. In order to accommodate the added grilling plates, Salton redesigned the grill to sit either flat across with the waffler, griddle, and bake pan or to slope down like a traditional George Foreman grill. The unit features a variable temperature control and is set for a September 2005 release.

Cop allegedly pulls gun on person 'holding up' McDonald's line
Updated On: Apr 19 2013 09:42:45 AM CDT
A police Sargent grew impatient when the person in front of him in the drive-thru line at McDonald's was moving too slowly.
DeKalb County police Sgt. Scott Biumi is charged with felony aggravated assault after allegedly pulling a gun on a customer in the line.
The driver, 18-year-old Ryan Mash, told NBC affiliate WIZ-TV that he had no idea the man was a police officer. According to Mash, the man accused him of "holding up the line," then got out of his car and threatened him by sticking a gun to his neck. Biumi was apparently angry at the amount of time it was taking for him to get his food.
Biumi is a 20-year veteran of the DeKalb County Police Department and has been placed under administrative leave with pay while the incident is investigated.

The dollars can be spent to independently advocate for Vitter in either the 2015 governor's race or the 2016 Senate race.
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - A super PAC that is supporting Republican U.S. Sen. David Vitter raised $1.5 million in its first year, though donors aren't yet sure whether Vitter will run for governor or re-election to his current post.
Charlie Spies, treasurer for The Fund for Louisiana's Future, announced the pro-Vitter political action committee's fundraising figure Wednesday.
He said that details of the donations through the end of 2013 will be reported to the Federal Election Commission by the end of the month and that the PAC raised more than 70 percent of its money from Louisiana donors.
"I think it's an extraordinary level of support," said Spies, chief lawyer for prior Vitter campaigns and co-founder of the pro-Mitt Romney super PAC Restore Our Future.
The dollars can be spent to independently advocate for Vitter in either the 2015 governor's race or the 2016 Senate race.
Vitter, in his second Senate term, has said he'll decide this month whether he'll run for governor. Gov. Bobby Jindal is term-limited and can't run for re-election.
Super PACs can raise and spend unlimited funds to help candidates at the federal level. Louisiana caps individual contributions to PACs at $100,000 for each election cycle.
To further boost fundraising efforts, Spies is asking the state ethics board to remove Louisiana's cap, saying the limit doesn't comply with a ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court that barred such restrictions on super PACs.
The ethics board, which oversees campaign finance regulations in Louisiana, will consider his request next week.
If the board refuses to remove the limit, "It will surprise me if somebody doesn't file a lawsuit," Spies said.
The political action committee has been formed at both the state and federal levels to allow for the money's use in either the Senate or governor's race. Spies said the senator's supporters don't yet know if Vitter intends to run for governor.
"I hope he stays a leader on issues that impact Louisiana, but I'm confident he can do that either from the Senate or as governor," Spies said.
Republican Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne has said he intends to run for governor. So has Democratic state Rep. John Bel Edwards, chairman of the House Democratic Caucus. Others are eyeing the position, including Republican state Treasurer John Kennedy.

Above: 3D model of a chloroplast
The model shown above indicates the relative sizes of the structures within a chloroplast and how individual chloroplasts can include up to about 50 thylakoids. However, it would probably take too long to draw such a detailed representation in study notes or a test or exam. It is much easier to learn a simple diagram of a chloroplast (below).
What is a chloroplast ? A chloroplast is a type of organelle.
Chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis in eukaryotic cells. Therefore they are only present in photosynthetic cells e.g. plant cells and algae. There are no chloroplasts in animal cells or bacteria cells (bacteria cells are also known as prokaryotic cells and do not contain any membrane-bound organelles).
As shown in the diagram of a plant cell, chloroplasts are bigger and fatter than mitochondria. That is why chloroplasts settle first when photosynthetic cells are homogenized and centrifuged. A typical chloroplast has a biconvex shape and a maximum dimension of about 5μm (i.e. 5 micrometers = 0.005 mm, see scientific numbers for more about the units).
Above: Diagram of the structure of a chloroplast
Note: The figure above is a simplified diagram of the structure of a chloroplast. The structures are not necessarily drawn to scale e.g. the membranes enclosing the chloroplast are shown larger than in real life in order to show the intermembrane space. Parts of a chloroplast are shown in enough detail to help students re-draw this diagram by hand to include in study notes or homework.
Notes about the contents of chloroplasts:
The following table includes comments about each of the structure found inside chloroplasts.
Structure of (or within) chloroplasts:
Chloroplast Envelope:
Each chloroplast is enclosed (surrounded by) a chloroplast envelope consisting of three layers:
Overall the chloroplast envelope is semi-permeable.
It is permeable to glucose molecules and certain ions including Fe2+ and Mg2+, and oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Stroma (chloroplast matrix)
The chloroplast matrix is called the stroma and contains enzymes that catalyze the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis.
each thylakoid has a lumen
Thylakoids are also referred to as thylakoid membranes. They are disc-shaped structures that are the sites of light absorption at which the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place. The region within the membrane forming each thylakoid (by enclosing the contents of the thylakoid) is called the lumen of the thylakoid. Either on the surface of, or embedded within, thylakoids are:
The light absorbing molecules within thylakoid membranes are arranged in photosystems. Thylakoids are also the sites at which ATP synthesis occurs within chloroplasts.
Grana (plural),
singular - Granum
Thylakoids are arranged in stacks called grana (plural).
A single granum is a stack of several thylakoids one on top of another. As shown in the diagram and model above, there are many such grana within each chloroplast.
Lamellae (plural)
singular - Lamella
As shown above, stromal lamellae connect two or more grana to each other. In this way the lamellae act as a "skeleton" of the chloroplast, maintaining efficient distances between the grana, thereby maximizing the overall efficiency of the chloroplast.
Circular DNA
Each chloroplast contains one or more molecules of small circular DNA.
Starch granules
Starch exists in chloroplasts in the form of tiny lumps called "granules" or sometimes "grains". These are present because they are the (insoluble) storage carbohydrate product of photosynthesis.
Lipid globules
Lipid globules are also present in chloroplasts.
Chloroplasts contain the smaller type of ribosomes (i.e. "70S ribosomes"), which is the same type as those freely distributed around the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells.
Note: The numbers listed above-left are only for ease of reference to and discussion of this table. As indicated in the model of a chloroplast at the top-right of this page, a typical chloroplast contains many of these structures.
Remember : A chloroplast is an organelle (found inside plant cells but not animal cells); a chloroplast is not a cell.
For more about cells: the structure of a plant cell, the structure of an animal cell & comparison of plant, animal and bacterial cells. See also very simple information about chloroplasts and photosynthesis (via 3 short YouTube videos).

Dribbling is arguably the most important skill in basketball. Almost all coaches and players understand how helpful it can be to have a skilled ball handler on your side. That's why they are always looking to improve dribbling as much as possible. Here are some basketball dribbling drills that will help you to keep improving.
This video from Hoop Coach shows a variety of two ball dribbling drills. These dribbling drills really help with hand-eye coordination to improve ball handling. Players can start slow and simple with stationary two ball dribbling. As it starts to get easier the drills get more advanced until the players are dribbling up the court going behind the back and through the legs.
Sideline Dribbling Drill A good drill for developing young players or warming up more advanced players. Sideline dribbling drill has a player start at one sideline and dribble across to the other sideline. When they are at about the halfway point, the coach calls out a move the player has to execute. When they reach the opposite sideline, they repeat the drill going back dribbling with their other hands. When they return to their starting point they give the ball to their partner who repeats the drill.
Here are a couple more basketball dribbling drills created by Hoop Coach members using Basketball Playbook.

Cop in 'danger' in bar brawl?
BY KIM JANSSEN Federal Courts Reporter email@example.com October 22, 2012 7:50PM
Anthony Abbate leaves the Dirksen Federal Building after taking the stand in a federal lawsuit accusing him of trying to cover up beating of bartender Karolina Obrycka. | Rich Hein~Sun-Times
Article Extras

Updated: November 24, 2012 6:18AM
It is the shocking barroom beating video that cost Officer Anthony Abbate his job — and gave the Chicago Police Department a black eye when it was seen around the world.
But three years after he was convicted of the brutal drunken attack on a barmaid less than half his weight, Abbate on Monday took to the stand in federal court and again insisted he was acting in self-defense when he repeatedly kicked and punched Karolina Obrycka at a Northwest Side tavern on Feb 19, 2007.
Asked if the beating was "just a fight between two people," as he'd previously sworn, the bearded, 265-pound Bluto lookalike said "yes," insisting he could remember almost nothing of the incident but reaffirming his previous claim that he was "in physical danger" from the 115-pound barmaid.
The former cop was testifying on the first day of a jury trial in a lawsuit brought by Obrycka, who alleges that Abbate and his fellow officers conspired to cover-up the crime under a blue "code of silence" that stretched from the street to the very top of the police department.
That conspiracy included Deborah Kirby — head of the police department's Internal Affairs Division at the time but currently serving as the chief of International Relations — Obrycka's attorney Terry Ekl charged in his opening statement.
"There is and was in 2007 a code of silence in the Chicago Police Department," Ekl said, alleging that though Kirby's job was to root out bad cops, she instead "orchestrated a series of events to ensure that Abbate would not be charged with a felony" and acted to ensure "that any misdemeanor case would be dropped."
Lawyers for Abbate and the city admit Abbate's actions were inexcusable but deny a cover-up. They argue that Abbate's eventual felony conviction and firing shows that the system works.
"This case is not about Chicago Police Department policies and procedures — it's about a guy who got drunk, sang songs, messed with other customers and beat up Karolina Obrycka," said the city's attorney, Matthew Hurd.
As the trial began Monday, the courtroom lights were dimmed so that jurors could watch clips from the infamous security camera footage. It shows a loutish, off-duty Abbate attack two friends inside Jesse's Short Stop Inn, show off his muscles while boasting that he is "CPD," then he goes behind the bar and savagely beat Obrycka, telling her "No one tells me what to do."
Obrycka's attorneys then showed the jury a list of more than 150 phone calls between Abbate, his friends and fellow officers in the hours that followed, saying they were evidence of a coordinated cover-up.
As part of the cover-up, Ekl alleged, Abbate's pal Gary Ortiz told Obrycka that Abbate would pay her medical expenses and for any time off she needed. Ekl also alleged that Patti Chiriboga — another barmaid who was friends with Abbate — was taped saying Abbate had threatened to arrest bar staff and patrons for DUI or plant cocaine on them unless they handed over the security video.
As the cover-up spread to the Internal Affairs Division, Ekl alleged, Kirby downplayed the seriousness of the incident, directed her investigators to charge Abbate with only a misdemeanor, and to keep the date of Abbate's court appearance from Obrycka so that the charge would be dropped.
But Hurd said Abbate had blacked out and was simply trying to reconstruct what he'd done when he made the calls after the beating. And Abbate's attorney Michael Malatesta said the offer of cash to Obrycka was "nice," adding that Chiriboga will testify she was lying about the threats Abbate allegedly passed on through her.
Hurd insisted that Kirby had pushed for felony charges all along but that it was up to the Cook County state's attorney to decide whether to do so.
The charges were eventually upgraded to a felony only after the video was released to the media, sparking the widespread outrage that helped end Supt. Phil Cline's police career.
Abbate's testimony is due to continue when the trial resumes Tuesday.

Europe's manufacturing sector ended 2012 in a slump, with production levels and new orders decreasing further in December as demand from domestic and export markets remains low, according to business surveyor Markit Economics.
The Final Eurozone Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index was at 46.1 in December, down from 46.2 in November, showing contraction for the 17th consecutive month.
Ireland was the only nation to report improved operating conditions. Downturns accelerated in Germany, Spain, Austria and Greece, but eased in France, Italy and the Netherlands.

Why Is The Quagga Extinct?
What are the eating habits of the quagga?
The quagga is an extinct striped South African animal like a sand-coloured zebra.
The quagga was essentially a type of zebra, and as with most equines, it ate coarse fodder such as grasses, hay, and other grains.
Why are a lot of large African animals not extinct?
How did animals like African Elephants, Black and White Rhinos, Hippos, African Buffalo, most Zebras, Giraffes, Lions, Leopards, Gorillas, and Chimpanzees not go extinct even after the humans evolved in Africa and occupied the continent for all those thousands of years? Did those animals live further inland than the humans? Did they all live a fairly balanced existence? Why wasn't it until relatively recently that some of them became endangered? Why didn't the Quagga go extinct until after Whitey showed up?
It turns out that larger animals, like larger people, are simply less active than the smaller ones, and consequently, the larger African animals have simply not gotten around to going extinct yet. I am assured that they will, any day now, and I should quit nagging. Hope this helps!
Reasons for the extinction of the Quagga and evidence to back it up?
Hi. We have to do a science report and I don't know why they are extinct cos the internet doesn't have much about their extinction and especially not proof to back it up. Thankyou :) I know that they are extinct I just want reasons for how they became extinct and more importantly evidence to back the reason up
Extinctions seem to happen due to over-hunting or environmental change. Man has wiped out more creatures/ plant life than any natural cause. Don't buy into that non-sense about hundreds of species per year, though- the actual number is more like a half-dozen/ year. Over population of the Human species is the greatest threat to Earth.
How did the Cape Mountain Zebra become endangered?
I need enough info to write one paragraph. Please and thank you!
Here is a summary..
Although Cape mountain zebra probably were never very numerous, numbers started dwindling as herds had to compete against sheep and cattle for grazing. Farmers began developing more land, establishing wheat production and other crops in areas which traditionally were home to Cape mountain zebra and the extinct quagga. Hunting was uncontrolled, and the Cape mountain zebra, with the quagga, were popular victims, its hide allegedly much sought after for the manufacturing of "grain bags".
Within thirty years, from the twenties to the fifties, the population of more than 400 animals had dropped to the all-time low of 91, when conservation efforts started showing a positive effect. If a herd stallion is displaced, the herd is generally taken over as a unit by a new stallion. But, the stallion may need to go through a courtship of up to three years, before the mares in the herd will accept their new stud. Breeding is further delayed by a gestation period of a full year, which together with the animal's social and mating behaviour, result in numbers growing very slowly.
When did pterodactyls become extinct?
They went extinct 65 million years ago, at the same time that the Dinosaurs went extinct.

The Way of the Gun -- This wickedly off-beat mix of crime, comedy and gunplay stars Ryan Phillippe and Academy Award winner Benicio Del Toro. Convinced they'll score big money fast by kidnapping a young surrogate mother carrying the child of a wealthy Southwestern couple, the two small caliber crooks soon run into major problems. Realizing too late that they're in over their heads.
The Way of the Gun -- Two criminal drifters without sympathy get more than they bargained for after kidnapping and holding for ransom the surrogate mother of a powerful and shady man.
The Way of the Gun -- Two petty if violent criminals kidnap a girl being paid $1m to be a surrogate mother. As the baby is for a gangster the pair's demand for money sees several henchmen and assorted other ruthless characters head after them to Mexico. Bullets rather than talking are always going to settle this one.
Trailer for The Way of the Gun.
Two professional criminals, Parker (Ryan Phillippe) and Longbaugh (Benicio Del Toro), think they've devised the plan of a lifetime: kidnap Robin (Juliette Lewis), a pregnant surrogate mother, then collect on the ransom money from the parents-to-be. However, when Parker begins to take a shine to the kidnapping victim, the plan begins to crumble. But it is not until a heavily armed group of mob hit men arrive with the ransom money that Parker and Longbaugh realize they've cooked up a spicy stew of chaos, violence, and confusion. The unborn baby tops it off, making Christopher McQuarrie's The Way of the Gun a terrifically tense nail-biter.

Answer #1patrick mannion from Greg Solow's Engine Room, March 14, 2009, 12:14Master
Replacing timing belt is a big job and requires a reasonable selection of hand tools. Replacement of the timing belt is important for the reliability of your engine but its replacement must follow precise instructions!
Definitely get a workshop manual specific to your car they are inexpensive. You can get one here
Look on Autozone web site they have many manuals on line for free.
I would send you a direct like to the page you need but there site is down right now.
Your engine is an non interference engine show it is somewhat forgiving if you make a mistake.

Project 885 Severodvinsk ("Yasen") class SSN
(USSR / Russian Federation)
15 June 2010
(March 2013)
Sea trials
(May 2013)
(3 other hulls)
Notes: In 1977, the SKB-18 (Kormilitsin) design bureau began work on a 4th generation SSGN. In 1985 a design was finalized, incorporating the best elements of the latest SSGN and SSN classes into a multi-role sub. The keel of Severodvinsk was laid at the Northern Machine-Building Enterprise (today Sevmash) in the city of Severodvinsk on 21 December 1993.
Work stopped almost immediately after it started, and was not resumed until 1996. At that time, Jane's Fighting Ships stated that it had a new targeted in-service date of 1998. However work stopped again in 1997, not resuming until a brief spell in 2000. In 2006 Severodvinsk was only in 25% of a state required to launch. It seemed the vessel was abandoned, however in 2007 the Russian navy stated it wanted to refocus away from specialized SSN/SSGN types towards combined-arms designs, of which this would be the obvious first step. In 2008 work resumed and in February 2009, Sevmash stated that completing the sub was now it's top priority. In March 2010, Sevmash announced that the hull was nearly structurally complete and that the sub would be launched on 7 May 2010, as part of Russia's annual WWII commemoration week. However on 14 April 2010, it was announced that this date could not be met and the sub was not launched until that June.
Eleven planned sisters were cancelled early on. However on 30 March 2009, the Russian navy restored the orders for five more subs of this class. On 26 July 2009, the second hull was formally ordered from Sevmash. The Russian navy announced it planned to build a total of six units of this class, with the final four units being launched one per year between 2013-2016. The final four units will be to a revised "Project 885.1 Yasen-M" design although what the changes will be has not yet been said.
Starting with Kazan, the class is to have systems completely of Russian Federation origin. Previously, Russian shipbuilding has been hampered by the need to import systems such as sonar hydrophones, pumps, etc from other ex-Soviet nations.
On 1 February 2012, Russia announced that the in-service date for Severodvinsk had been pushed into 2013 due to unspecified problems during her 2011-2012 sea trials. Severodvinsk is currently homeported at her namesake of Severodvinsk, Russia. In August 2012, a civilian Russian news source stated that the submarine's problems were much more severe than the navy was letting on, specifically that the reactor as failing to deliver the anticipated power output, and that the electronics systems were not inter-operating properly.
Propulsion: The class was designed with a "monoblock" reactor; meaning the entire propulsion system (PWR, coolant loops, turbines, generators, coolant pumps) is contained within the reactor compartment. The advantage is the obvious space/weight savings, the disadvantage is that any repairs can only be done in-port with the reactor shut down and the compartment ventilated. The reactor is intended to have a lifespan as long as the submarine's (about 25 years). Initially, the class was intended to have a PJP but later Russian navy display models show a traditional skewed 7-bladed propeller. Then in early 2010, a drawing showing a PJP again was released. Two small maneuvering thrusters are included.
Weapons: Eight launch tubes for SS-NX-26 Yakhont cruise missiles are carried, each housing three missiles. Some cutaway drawings show them angled (as on the sole "Charlie III" class Novgorod Velikiy) while others vertical. The supersonic, anti-ship SS-NX-26 has a range between 69NM - 161NM depending on the flight profile selected. Early drawings with the spherical sonar array (see "Sensors" section below) showed eight 21" torpedo tubes amidships in the American style. More recent models showed six amidships 21" tubes and two large 650mm tubes atop a cylindrical bow array, but in 2010 a new sketch appeared showing eight 650mm tubes, all amidships. Loadout would be thirty weapons: torpedoes (types SAET-60, UGST, TEST-71ME, and the new type TE-2 if it is actually in fleet service). If 650mm tubes are installed, the SS-N-16 "Stallion" ASW missile could also be supported. Finally several sources state that tubes linered down to 21" could also fire the "Klub" family of missiles, specifically the 3M51 Alfa (Klub-S) land-attack model. The MDS mobile mine will also be carried, as will the MG-74ME tube-fired decoy.
Several defense-industry websites have stated that the Russian navy is working on a "Project Grom (thunder)" strategic cruise missile as an alternate to the endless problems experienced by the SS-NX-30 Bulova SLBM. The stated range for the proposed missile is 2400NM, which would be astonishing for a cruise missile. The Project 885 would likely carry this missile, if it is ever built.
Sensors: Initially this class was to have the Irtysh-Amfora combined spherical/hull/towed array system (as tested in the "Yankee Pod" SSAN), however later display models show a "Shark Gill" cylindrical array. The "Shark Tail" towed passive array is streamed from the upper rudder, rather than a "bullet" housing (however a 2010 drawing showed the towed array streamed from a fairing on the lower port-side hull). Models have shown a "Pert Spring" SATCOM and two periscopes extended, it can be assumed that a "Snoop"-series radar is included plus most likely the "Amber Light" and "Rim Hat" EW masts, a RDF (likely "Park Lamp"), and Kremmny-2 IFF.
Control systems: It has been reported that Severodvinsk will use the "Ash-M" system; this is apparently a multi-sensor integration with the sub's fire control and navigation systems (somewhat similar in concept to the USN's AN/BSY-1). The Severodvinsk will be able to interface with the "Legend" satellite-based anti-ship targeting system.
Miscellaneous: The VSK escape pod is carried in the sail. The outer hull has the same anechoic coating as seen on the "Delta IV" class SSBNs. According to the Bellona website, the hull uses reduced-magnetism steel but this is not confirmed by any other source. It is so far unclear if this class will use non-penetrating optronic periscopes, or a traditional design. The Paravan towed antenna is likely carried. The class was originally intended to have a crew of just 50 but this has apparently been revised upwards; perhaps due to experiences with the many automated systems aboard the now-discarded "Alfa" class SSNs.
Displacement: 9500t surfaced, 13,800t submerged Dimensions: 396'x41'3"x30' Machinery: Nuclear: 1 PWR (likely OK-650V), 1 shaft (see notes) Max speed: 16kts surfaced, 31 ¾ kts submerged Diving Depth: 984' operational, 1804' test, 2100' crush Complement: 90 (32 officers, 58 enlisted)

A Camp for LGBTQ & Allied Youth ages 13-17 Download poster here
Join us for the second year of Rainbow Camp! We welcome youth (13-18) who self-identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, and/or allies. If you are a member of a Queer family and want a chance to connect with others, a safe place to have fun and not explain, this is the place for you. We are committed to a camp community which honours creativity, individual choice and social justice. Rainbow camp will provide opportunities for campers to make new friends and develop skills through traditional camp programming. More than anything, Rainbow Camp is a fun place to come OUT and be yourself!
Our Camp Program will include activities in the following areas:
- Arts and Crafts
- Nature and the Environment
- Wide Games/Sports
- Swimming and Canoeing
- Community and Leadership
- Campfire
