The Government Accountability Office handed Boeing a huge win, finding that the Air Force improperly awarded a $35 billion contract to build new midair refueling planes to its competitors Northrop Grumman and Airbus.
The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, and Washington Post all go big with the news on their respective front pages, while The New York Times puts the news on its Business Day cover. The European FT leads with the "heavy blow" for Airbus parent European Aeronautic Defence & Space Company, while Boeing's hometown Chicago Tribune calls it a "stunning achievement" for its local airplane company. The Air Force doesn't have to abide by the GAO's wishes, but the papers agree it's extremely unlikely it won't do so.
The papers say the GAO lit into the Air Force, which comes across as bumbling and plain incompetent. Indeed, it's already in turmoil with the firing of its top two officials two weeks ago after a number of mishaps, including sending sensitive equipment to Taiwan and flying nuclear-armed fighters over the U.S. The Journal and Bloomberg note that the GAO in 2006 sided with the protestors on a $10 billion helicopter contract awarded to Boeing. And
The report found that the Air Force's actions were done "unreasonably," that it "conducted misleading and unequal discussions," and just plain made "significant errors." The Seattle Times, Boeing's ex-hometown (where it still has lots of workers) paper, has a nice bullet-point list of the GAO's findings. And here's Bloomberg:
"The GAO has identified so many mistakes by the Air Force that it calls into question the credibility of their process for picking weapons systems," (an analyst) said. "They're basic things, like whether Boeing's cost estimates were correct or not."
The outcome will be a big deal. The Air Force is using ancient refueling tankers, according to the Journal and Bloomberg—their average age is forty-seven years. Jobs are on the line. The Journal says if Boeing wins, more work would likely be done in the U.S. And while it's worth $35 billion now, it could be expanded to a whopping $100 billion.
Meanwhile, the FT scoops that the defense secretary fired those two top officials in part because the Air Force can't find more than 1,000 "sensitive nuclear missile components."
Smoking e-mail
The Journal scoops on A1 that an e-mail between two then-Bear Stearns hedge-fund managers shows that they were talking about shutting down their funds because the market was "toast" just four days before they assured their investors that everything was a-okay. The note will be a key part of an indictment the Journal says may be announced today on fraud charges for the two, Ralph Cioffi and Matthew Tannin.
Ahh, the incriminating "paper" trail. The paper has a nice info-box with a rogue's gallery of Wall Street biggies brought down by ill-considered electronic correspondence.
The story is just more great work by Kate Kelly, whom we're sure the Journal is glad it brought back from the movie beat last year. She even gets in to talk with the suspects themselves… err… "people familiar with their view of the events."
The two say that after thinking about it, they decided the market really wasn't toast, and thus they weren't deceiving their investors to cover their rear ends. Their funds, of course, collapsed in June—canaries in the coal mine on the health of Bear Stearns and the financial industry in general.
Um, Iraq was about freedom, not oil, right?
The Times leads page one with a report saying the Western oil giants Exxon Mobil, Shell, Total, and BP are about to be back in business in Iraq, something that's sure to inflame cynicism about American intentions even if it helps the country modernize the crumbling infrastructure that threatens its (practically) sole source of wealth.
The Times says the short-term, no-bid contracts are "unusual for the industry" and beat out those from companies in Russia and China. We're sure these deals are absolutely on the up and up.
There was suspicion among many in the Arab world and among parts of the American public that the United States had gone to war in Iraq precisely to secure the oil wealth these contracts seek to extract. The Bush administration has said that the war was necessary to combat terrorism. It is not clear what role the United States played in awarding the contracts; there are still American advisers to Iraq's Oil Ministry.Sensitive to the appearance that they were profiting from the war and already under pressure because of record high oil prices, senior officials of two of the companies, speaking only on the condition that they not be identified, said they were helping Iraq rebuild its decrepit oil industry.

Benjamin Perrin says story about involvement in Duffy money transfer deal was "false"
UPDATE: Benjamin Perrin, an associate law professsor at UBC and former legal advisor to the Prime Minister, stated that reports that he allegedly helped Nigel Wright pay Sen. Mike Duffy were false.
His statement:
Last night's CTV story in relation to me, which is based on unattributed sources, is false.
I was not consulted on, and did not participate in, Nigel Wright's decision to write a personal cheque to reimburse Senator Duffy's expenses.
I have never communicated with the Prime Minister on this matter.
In all my work, I have been committed to making our country a better place and I hope my record of service speaks for itself.
The CTV had reported that Perrin was involved in drafting the letter that called for Duffy to declare that he would repay the money. Perrin states that he was not involved whatsoever in the decision.
The Vancouver Observer contacted the UBC Law Faculty for comment, and UBC Public Affairs associate director Randy Schmidt responded:
"At this point, I haven't seen any evidence: it's just speculation that's been reported...He (Perrin) is a well-regarded professor at UBC. He's done a lot of great work on human trafficking. At this point, UBC's current understanding is that there's no connection between this (the Duffy scandal) and UBC, and UBC is taking no action on it."
More in Politics
It is clear that everything political provocation is. The situation is so confused, but there is no one simple explanation as usual. CTV reported that Perrin was involved in drawing up the letter which called for Duffy to declare that he can and will repay back the whole sum of the debt. Though, Perrin declares that wasn't involved in this conversation.

Me me me!!! We're doing the full chromosome analysis through GSN...with 7 frozen embryos from a previous successful IVF cycle. I believe tomorrow or Tuesday they'll be doing the embryo biopsy, and I should have results in 2 weeks. We're starting me on a mock cycle right away, but I don't intend to do a transfer until September.

Most of the women here seem to have boys and are chasing a girl.......but if you look hard enough on any of the boards, you will find there are others like us wanting a boy. This is definitely the right spot for high tech whether you want a boy or a girl.
I just wanted to wish you luck, and let you know that you aren't alone, I had my son 4 months ago, he was conceived via IVF/PGD - and I am sooooooooo happy that we went that way, we now have our son and are done having kids, and I have to say - he is a dream come true, he's amazing and definitely worth the emotional, financial rollercoaster that comes with the high tech journey!!!

Hi all, I am doing HT for baby boy aswell. I have a 4 yr old Daughter & would love to have twins included in our family. I already had 2 failed cycles & still looking for a new RE. i am 28 & DH is 33.
Five Girls, I read in the other forum, that you & your DH will be taking the baby steps starting from tomorrow. Good luck with all your pretesting.
Hey ladies- just a quick update... I found out today that GSN has finished building the DNA probe using me and my hubby's blood samples...and they're ready for our clinic to do the embryo biopsy!
Tomorrow, I have an appointment for a hysteroscopy, doppler and nurse visit- and hopefully they'll do the embryo biopsy tomorrow as well...and then I have 1-2 weeks to wait on results. I'm soooo anxious. Please let there be at least 2 healthy boys in those 7 frosties.
They're doing an entire mock cycle for me starting this cycle, then I'll have a rest cycle, then do the transfer in September I believe.
Maybe we should have our own little thread going here since it seems there's a handful of us who are doing HT for a boy around the same time?

Last time I wrote about niceness, and why it seems to backfire with some people. It generated a great discussion on Facebook, which made me think some more about what niceness is and why it can be a problem.
I will begin with this: all good traits have a problematic side, and niceness is no exception.
Let's take optimism: optimistic people tend to be happier, more successful, and more able to handle the ups and downs of real life. However, too much optimism is a problem when you refuse to see the signs of looming problems or think that all will work out instead of planning for potential disaster.
"Nice guys finish last."
Who hasn't heard this dusty old aphorism? It's been around longer than most of us. These days, the die hard PUAs will tell you without compunction that being a Nice Guy is the Kiss of Death, the painful road to a celibate life or at least a life of achieving only AFC (Average Frustrated Chump) status.
And guys aren't the only one who get this message. Ever heard of the book Why Men Love Bitches? Yes, there is such a book and yes, it's a bestseller, peeps. And yes, I've read it; It's just the die hard PUA stuff in reverse.
So, modern wisdom would tell us that women don't like nice guys and men don't respect nice girls. And we can call bullshit and laugh at such gamey, cynical crap and expound the awesomeness of good people… and we would be right to do so. Totally right. Read More
Happy New Year, everyone! It's January, and you know what that means: it's dating season.
Yes, there really is such a thing. January and February are hot months for dating: coaches and matchmakers get more clients, online dating sites see more enrollees, and people in general are more motivated to get out there and find someone.
There could be many reasons for this: New Year's resolutions, escaping the winter doldrums, impending Valentine's Day, or just being tired of seeing family over the holidays and having them bug you about finding someone. Read More
I love the holidays. I love the lights, the music, and the eggnog. All of it appeals to my hidden inner Romantic.
I've done my share of dating during the holidays as well. Dating during this time of year can be a lot of fun because you already have a built-in atmosphere of romance, love, and family. All you have to do is find someone to share it with. Whether you're dating online, have your eye on your neighbor or someone at work, or are already seeing someone, there are many ways to make the most of this time of year. Dating is challenging enough, so why not let the holiday spirit create some of the fun and romance for you? Who knows, maybe you'll get a second date (or much more!) out of it…
Here are 10 holiday date ideas to try:
1. Grab a hot beverage. If you meet someone for a coffee date, suggest getting a hot chocolate, an eggnog latte, or one of those peppermint mochas. Live it up and get the whipped cream on top. Different than the usual fare, and perfect for a cold night. Heck, you can even go to a nice bar and try a Snuggler, which is hot chocolate with peppermint Schnapps. Again, get the whip cream. It's all about the whipped cream. Read More
Online dating can be a different experience for introverts. On the one hand, the "putting yourself out there" and the making small talk with complete strangers can prove taxing to the introvert. On the other, online dating can be achieved from the quiet and comfort of your own home and involves only 1-on-1 communications, both of which favor the introvert. And, in the end, as I've said 100 times before, online dating is a useful vehicle to meet other singles you wouldn't normally meet. Introverted or not, sometimes getting online is the solution.
I've been slowly working on my "dating advice for introverts" materials. It includes a separate section for online dating. So when Mashable (Mashable!!) contacted me recently to ask if I'd like to offer up tips for introverts dating online, I gave them tips… probably more than they ever wanted :).
Some of these tips are included in the Mashable article "8 Ways Introverts Can Crush Online Dating." Interestingly, Susan Cain was also a source for the article. She wrote the bestseller Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can't Stop Talking. I recently finished it; it's an excellent book. And I'm a pretty tough critic when it comes to books on human behavior. If you want to understand introversion from every possible angle, all from a scientifically-based standpoint, read this book. Ms. Cain really did her homework.
But for now, read the Mashable article and let me know what you think. And I'll keep working on those "dating for introverts" materials…

"Tried these last night for dinner, and loved them (used the fresh herbs)! I didn't really care for the lemon taste though (only used one lemon), so I made another batch (since the first pan went so quickly!), ommitted the lemon and added a little dill along with the fresh rosemary, thyme and garlic. DELICIOUS! Will be making these quite often. Win""

Maranello, 29 July – Antonio Fuoco still leads the Formula Renault Alps championship after this past weekend's round at the Misano Adriatico circuit. The Ferrari Driver Academy youngster now has 159 points to his name, after he finished second in Race 1 of this the fifth round of the series, although he had to retire in the second and final race. Fuoco started from the front row, having set the fastest time in his group in qualifying and then had a thrilling duel for the lead, which went in favour of his team-mate Bruno Bonifacio, by just three tenths of a second. The second race of the weekend had a rather less pleasant outcome, as Fuoco, again starting from the front row, was involved in a collision with Bonifacio when trying to overtake him on lap 2. The stewards penalised Bonifacio for closing the door and thus causing an avoidable accident between the two cars, which saw them both retire. He will take a five place grid penalty at the next race.
Antonio Fuoco: "Race 1 was thrilling and it was a hard fight which ended with a second place for me that is very important in light of the classification. Unfortunately, in the second race, things turned out differently. On the second lap, I saw a gap and tried to attack, moving alongside Bonifacio by more than half a car's length. He suddenly closed the door on me, making the contact inevitable. The stewards' decision made it clear whose fault it was, but that was not enough for me to make up for the lost opportunity on track. It's a shame, as I had a great race pace and I could have got a good result. It's already the third time this season that I've been forced to retire because of unfortunate incidents, but now, the only thing I can do is to prepare as well as possible for the next very important rounds at Mugello and Imola."

I am in the market for my very first riding lawnmower. I am only able to spend around $1,000 - maybe a tad bit more. I only have a couple of acres to mow around my home but my yard is very rocky with slight slopes here and there. The rocky situation is getting better over the years as the kids and I keep picking up the big ones and transporting somewhere else, and every year I have more grass and top soil. (It has taken me 4 years to have enough soil that worms felt happy enough to live around my home. LOL) My property was given to me by family and at some point in its history was strip mined. Anyway, I've read reviews on the 42" cut Pony by Troy from Lowes. They were not encouraging. So, what are my other optoins for a good mower? I only have Wal-Mart, Lowes, and Tractor Supply within 45 minutes of my home and would rather buy at one of those stores than have to travel much farther. Thanks for the opinions. These pictures were taken a few years ago. There is a litte bit more soil and grass now. |
Follow-Up Postings:
You will need more than a $1000 mower for your property. 1K today is considered super entry level, adequate for 1/4 acre super flat, super clean grass. |
- Posted by baccalynnwv 5b West Virginia (My Page) on Fri, Apr 9, 10 at 10:53
Yeah. I kind of figured thats what I was going to read. I may not be able to mow grass this year. LOL We had been using a trailmower type thing but it doesn't want to work regularly. Plus, I hate using it and wanted something a little more simple. I'll just keep saving the money till I can buy a more expensive one. So, money aside - what would be good for a couple acres, rocky and uneven ground? |

Clean sheet No14 is the aim for James Collins on Saturday as the Hammers travel to Merseyside to play Everton in the Barclays Premier League.
West Ham United's defensive solidity has seen Sam Allardyce's side top the clean sheet league with 13, including four in the last five games, coinciding with an upturn in the Club's fortunes.
Collins has partnered Winston Reid, James Tomkins, George McCartney, Joey O'Brien and Roger Johnson at the back this season, and the big centre back believes the team can be proud of their record.
"We've defended reasonably well all season. We've got 13 clean sheets although there has been the odd game where we conceded three or four.
"That is going to happen in the Premier League. Every team you play against has one great centre forward so we are happy with our great defensive record."
All but one of the aforementioned defenders has spent time on the sidelines either injured or suspended at some stage this season, and Collins feels getting a full squad of players fit and a great result at Stamford Bridge, have helped turn things around.
"The fans were feeling the same way as we were, it was a hard time and I know the amount of injuries isn't an excuse but it did have a big impact on us.
"When we got everyone back and there was a competition for places and that's what made us pick up.
"Chelsea away, getting that draw was a massive result. We got a little bit of stick from Jose Mourinho about how we played but we went there with a plan and we got the draw and we haven't really looked back since. I think that was the turning point."
While the No19 and his teammates have been doing all they can to stop the shots raining down on their goal, they know that they can also rely on the man between the sticks, whoever it is.
Jussi Jaaskelainen started the season in possession of the starting berth, but has since lost his place to Adrian who has continued the Hammers' fine clean sheet record with four shutouts in his last five appearances.
The Spaniard arrived at the Club from Real Betis in the summer on the recommendation of Collins' countryman Martyn Margetson, and the defender feels he has been a great acquisition.
"He's been magnificent since he's come in. My Welsh mate has gone up in the summer to see him and we got him in on a free transfer. He did have to wait for his time to come.
"Jussi obviously started the season and did well but when Adrian came in he has been unbelievable. He's only a young kid, but he plays with an old head on his shoulders so he's a great person to have behind us.
"How I look at him is that he's a great shot stopper. He comes for crosses, which is good for us and stops us heading them out. He's great, he's an all-round goalkeeper. He's only going to get better as he's only very young."
At the age of 27, Adrian is at a good age for a goalkeeper and according to Collins he will only get better as he becomes more experienced in the Premier League.
"He's come in and he's done unbelievably. He's got time on his side and the more games he plays the better he's going to get.
"He works hard and Jussi pushes him in training as obviously Jussi want to get his spot back as well. If he carries on like this he can be one of the greats."

I love this candle so much! I have never been to Lanai, but I've been to Maui, and this reminds me of driving through Maui's hill and smelling sweet pineapple. This is truly a Holy Grail scent for me. Not recommended if you don't like sweet scents. Otherwise, this is an incredible candle with a fragrance that lingers throughout the house even when it's not lit. I hope this never gets discontinued, otherwise I'd be heartbroken!

Auckland police investigating three armed robberies last Sunday are looking for John Koteka, also recently using the name Paul Wilson.
Police say they have a warrant to arrest the 34-year-old in relation to the second of the three offences that occurred at the base of Mt Eden.
Koteka is a Pacific Islander of solid build and, although currently transient, has Auckland connections in the city and Papatoetoe.
Police believe he may be in the company of Alex Tereora, 31, who is also wanted on a warrant to arrest after he failed to appear on February 18 to face several charges including the use of a firearm and assault with intent to rob.
Detective Inspector Scott Beard says neither man should be approached by members of the public as both are considered to be armed and dangerous.
"It's nearly a week since the brazen and frightening offences occurred in the Domain and on Mt Eden and we're very keen to locate these men in order to prevent repeat offences."


text: Pill Buddy Naturals are a rewarding, easy way to give tablet or capsule medications to your pet. These tasty chews accommodate almost any pill or capsule intended for dogs or cats - simply push in the tablet (or contents of the capsule), squeeze shut, and feed. It's that easy to dispense. Free of soy, wheat and corn, so may be ideal for pets with sensitivities. Pill Buddy Naturals are 'marinated' in an exclusive blend of natural ingredients called Nature's Sauce™. Nature's Sauce creates a special surface texture that encourages dogs to swallow a Pill Buddy whole rather than biting into bitter-tasting medicine and spitting it out. Pill Buddy Naturals are conveniently wrapped in pairs to preserve freshness and prevent drying and cracking. Pill Buddy Naturals can also be fed as a delicious soft and chewy treat for all occasions. For dogs and cats. 30-ct pkg contains 15 x 2 individually wrapped pairs (treats measure 5/8" x 7/8"). Please specify Allergy Formula (Duck). Directions: Feed as a treat. Use one Pill Buddy for tablets. Use two for capsules. Pill Buddy can also be fed to cats. Please click on "More Information" for ingredients and guaranteed analysis. Gently eliminate odors on your dog at bath time, between baths, after a muddy walk, or anytime. Odor-neutralizing properties in these products react with odor-causing molecules to help halt pet odors. Made in the USA. Wipes safely eliminate tough pet odors by wiping them away. Wipes are ideal for quick cleanups and between-bath refreshing. They safely and gently remove dirt, dander, and tough odors. Lanolin is included for moisturizing benefits. Keep a package of wipes beside each door, or in the car, so you can tackle muddy paws before they get onto your floors. Wipes measure 6" x 7", a perfect size to fit in the palm of your hand for easy cleaning. Available in Honey-Vanilla Deodorizing Wipes or Powder Fresh Gentle Cleanse Wipes. Shop more Dog Grooming.

Metro Health's commitment to health and wellness extends far beyond the walls of the hospital. We know that to truly impact the health of our community we must ensure access to high quality primary care. Because of this understanding, Metro Health offers outpatient services including primary care and family physician offices, laboratory services, physical therapy and imaging services at outpatient centers located throughout the greater Grand Rapids area.
While we are happy to offer our community excellent inpatient hospital services, our goal is to keep people well and out of the hospital.
From elite athletes who rehabilitate from injuries with physical therapists specially trained in sports medicine to women who are happy they can have their mammograms close to home, Metro Health outpatient center patients repeatedly tell us they like the care they receive at the centers. Here are some other ways Metro Health works to provide high quality service at our outpatient centers:
- Primary care physicians at our outpatient centers provide patients with diabetes standardized care as outlined by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) and the American Diabetes Association. This assures that patients with diabetes experience evidence-based care that is designed to reduce their chance of adverse reactions to their illness. Most of these physicians are NCQA certified in diabetes care.
- Metro Health has won the Governor's Award of Excellence for Physician Office Services every year since 2003 when the honor began.
- Physician offices in the outpatient centers use electronic medical records. This allows physicians to update medical records immediately and to view records from the hospital more quickly. Additionally, patients can sign up for the free MyChart service which allows them to view parts of the medical record, renew prescriptions and schedule appointments online.
Metro Health offers competitive prices. Our Community Benefit Discount is for patients with no health insurance. Our prices reflect the cost of a service with and without this discount.
Please Note: The prices at our neighborhood outpatient centers include the cost of seeing your Metro Health family practice or internal medicine physician or a pediatrician. They do not include fees from additional doctors, such as a radiologist, who may be involved with your care. The prices listed are average prices. Actual prices may vary based on the complexity of your service.

Very good
great location nice room
food in the court was terrible no beverage machines on each floor
location is good
hotel lobby frenetic, lounge was overcrowded, and served a poor breakfast compared with other Hilton properties; would have preferred King bed (they didn't offer/ask, even though I'm Diamond status).
It was overall just perfect...n the complimentary breakfast was incredible !!!
Location is great for tourist attractions. Easy to find.
The check in staff were very helpful and pleasant
The bar staff were the unfriendliest I had ever encountered at a hotel
Included breakfast. Moved us because fan was too loud
Had construction noises during the day
First, I requested an early check in, we arrived at noon, waited in line for about 40 minutes to check in. When we finally arrived at the desk, we were told that our room wasn't ready and they would text when it was available. We left and came back to the hotel at 3pm. Waited in the same line for over an hour, and our room STILL wasn't ready. We were given the key to another room, no biggie. On the way to the elevator, we were stopped by a staff member. She said we needed to grab our "guest goodie bag". It was actually another 45 minutes of telling her we did not want to be a part of the Hilton Travel Club. Geez. I was trying to relax. The room was comfortable and the bed was great!
Location excellent! Staff lovely
Was charged City tax when checking out so my stay was 120 euro dearer than I expected! Thought the price of accommodation was the price I was quoted on booking.com so was disappointed with that
I felt very safe since I was traveling alone and the breakfast was fantastic.
The hotel was clean and the rooms are pretty large for NYC hotels, and in a location close to the subway and an easy walk to a lot of Midtown attractions. If you can book this hotel on a deal like we did, it's 100% worth it!
The hotel is huge, so be prepared for a long check-in line.
Everything about this hotel was wonderful. The staff was amazing, we got to the hotel at 11:30am expecting to just leave our luggage with them until our room was ready since check in wasn't until 3:00pm. The room was ready and they gave us a free upgrade. The rooms are very large, clean and the bed was so comfortable.They have a great brunch or if you want something to go they have a courtyard with sandwich's,pastries and coffee. The best part is when you are ready to get a cab you just walk out the door and the door man get you one in less then a minute(the taxi's are lined up just waiting for you) when does that ever happen in NYC!! They also have an ICE BAR,yes it is actually a bar the is made entirely of ice even the drink glasses are made of ice a great place to cool off in the summer. I have been to a lot of different hotels in the city over the years, but this one is the only one I will be staying at from now on.
No coffee maker in the room.
The rooms were impeccably clean.
I would be interested to know if more can be done regarding homeless people coming into the hotel? More security
No fridge on room, I had to pay for bag storage and it was a huge line.
Perfect location. Super quality for the money paid
Paid internet in the room
Good location, spacious room, clean, good fitness center, easy checkout
Long line to check in, no pool, view was horrible from our room (we got the standard room on 8th floor)
Great location, very comfortable rooms that were a good size
Breakfast was included in our price but it was very hectic and felt like everyone was crammed in one room. You can pay extra to have breakfast in the other dinning room which may have been better if you are traveling in a large group or with kids.
Breakfast was good.....great location. ....and clean
In room dining service was very poor and not much variety .
Fantastic location, great staff, comfortable.
Having to pay for wifi (crazy!), no complimentary coffee in room, not great room service menu... Things you expect as standard, esp at price
lokation, view from room
No free WiFi in room To many people in lobby and restaurants
The staff, who are just exceptional, going above and beyond the call of duty when I had a few problems during my stay. Cannot say enough about them, particularly management (Mr Waller is a star!). The breakfast buffet. De-e-licious! Omelette bar is the best and what a friendly chef manning the pans; funny, happy fellow. The location is also fantastic, just blocks away from times square, central park and associated attractions. Subway just around the corner too for those longer excursions. Well priced.
The bed and pillows were really uncomfortable. The room was not soundproofed at all. Despite being 25 floors up, the sounds on the street were crystal clear. We were also the third or fourth room from the elevators and a staff room but could hear them humming along. Paper thin walls and windows. No fridge/coffee machine/water bottles which i thought were standard in hotels of this stature.

I can honestly say I didn't see this coming.
Any favourable odds you want to imagine would not have been enough to persuade me, prior to this season, to put money on the notion that the Raptors would be the 28th ranked team in points / 100 possessions in the NBA after 13 games. There's no way I would have taken that bet.
Yet, that's exactly where they are. Not only are they generally inefficient offensively, but in every single one of the Four Factors they are just not getting the job done. They currently sit ranked 23rd in effective field goal percentage, 26th in turnover percentage, 24th in offensive rebounding percentage and 22nd in free throws / field goal attempts. In other words, they don't do a single thing well.

No they aren't, gear is completely different in the two games. One of them you are literally buying power. In GW2 all gear at max level will have the same amount of stats. The only difference is appearance and stat distribution. The actual stat value in cumulative will be the same. RoM has a HUGE difference in power in different levels of gear.

I'm sorry but no, you can't change the definition to whatever suits you. Pay 2 Win means you have to pay to not only be competitive, but usually you have the advantage. This is exclusive to combat. Whether in competitive pvp or in pve. Paying to win in a fashion show is beyond ludicrous.

Yokneam, Israel, May 24, 2011 -- EZchip Semiconductor Ltd. (NASDAQ:EZCH), a leader in Ethernet network processors, is disclosing product details of its NP-5 network processor. NP-5 is a 200-Gigabit network processor (NPU) with integrated 200-Gigabit traffic management for building ultra-dense 10GE, 40GE and 100GE port line cards in switches and routers. The NP-5, currently in design, will provide a natural scale-up path for customers that use EZchip's NP-4 100-Gigabit processor. NP-4 has secured design wins among most of the leading Carrier Ethernet Switch Router (CESR) equipment vendors and NP-5 has already started to gain important wins among these customers. EZchip will present the NP-5 at the Linley Tech Carrier Conference, June 7-8, 2011 in San Jose, California.
The NP-5 extends the integration of NP-4 to further solidify EZchip's high-speed NPU market leadership, by offering unprecedented 200-Gigabit programmable packet processing and traffic management in a single chip. Furthermore, the NP-5 provides full backward code compatibility with the NP-4 offering customers a smooth path to double their line-card bandwidth and port density with minimal software efforts. While the NP-4, which is manufactured in a 55nm process, is scheduled to move to mass production in the second half of 2011, the NP-5 will be manufactured in a 28nm process and is scheduled to sample at the end of 2012.
"As the industry's first disclosed 200Gbps network processor, the NP-5 reinforces EZchip's technology and market leadership," said Bob Wheeler, senior analyst at The Linley Group. "The NP-5 also demonstrates the scalability of EZchip's architecture, which now spans a huge range of price/performance points."
"Through technological innovations and optimized architecture, the NP-5 continues our push to provide solutions that enable customers to multiply the port count and bandwidth as well as enhance the functionality of their line cards, while reducing their overall cost," said Amir Eyal, Vice President Business Development of EZchip Semiconductor. "Our customers view the NP-5 as the natural progression of their NP-4 based CESR platforms. As with NP-4, we believe the NP-5 will provide a significant time to market advantage over alternative solutions as our customers will be able to reuse their massive NP-4 software investments."
The NP-5 will provide unprecedented integration and enable building routers and switches for Carrier Ethernet networks as well as data centers with exceptional density and functionality. The NP-5 will enable line cards that feature multiple 40 and 100-Gigabit ports as well as dozens of 10-Gigabit ports. Through its versatility and rich feature set, the NP-5 will serve a wide variety of carrier and data center applications.
NP-5 highlights include:

I have an 8 hp Yard Machine Snowblower. It is about 10 years old. I'm in Burlington, Vermont (33 inches yesterday) and just started blowing my walk which has small "pea stones". The snowblower suddenly stopped throwing snow. I shut off the machine and noticed that I had broken one of the shear bolts on the auger. After fixing this, the inside wheel (auger that shoots out the snow?) continued to turn freely, without any friction and would not engage the auger to make it turn. I then pulled out the auger which is attached to the inner wheel (auger). Now I have no idea what to do. The snowblower still starts but the auger(s) won't turn. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. |
Follow-Up Postings:
We need a clearer picture. The two front spirals are augers and the rear piece that throws the snow through the chute is an impeller. So are you saying that the impeller is turning under power -which means it is secure to the shaft? Or is it spinning on it's shaft meaning that it isn't secured? Are you seeing the shaft turn that goes to the center gearbox and the augers are not turning? What part did you remove? |

Winter Cleaning
A gripping tale of books, boxes, and binders.
I'm not normally one to take pictures of his RPG collection and talk about it. I mean, we all have RPG stuff, and we all have a few titles that hold special meaning, and apart from including some out-of-print material, there's really nothing remarkable about my RPG bookshelf.
But mysteriously, there is…
Last weekend, I remedied my Annual Pre-holiday Freak-Out by culling my RPG stuff. The books on the shelf, the bankers boxes in the attic, even the hand-written notes and maps spread across a dozen 3-ring binders just shy of 2 decades old. There's nothing like an OCD frenzy to clear my head, and this one imparted unforeseen clarity.
The Challenge
Just to put things into context, I have a small bookshelf in my office. There are essentially 4 shifting sections: Reference material, Computer books, History books, and RPG stuff. Space is limited, so I tend to swap out bookshelf titles with books I store in the Hadrian's wall-sized blockade of bankers boxes lodged in the attic.
I first adopted this practice when we moved into our new house. In the 3 years since, I've made a couple of realisations. First, it's a pain in the butt, because there's a 73% chance that the book I need at any given time is in the attic, where the temperature hovers just above absolute zero in the winter and soars to nuclear-furnace levels of hot in the summer.
Second, it's disorganized: three years of shuffling material from bookshelf to box to a different box and back to the shelf later has shattered the careful order in which I had packed the material when we moved. Third is the futility of hording: In the years of shuffling, it occurs to me that I own several titles that have never made it to the bookshelf. They're neither useful nor collectible.
The Effort
Long story short, I consolidated the shite out my books—RPG and otherwise. I cleaned the shelf of anything I didn't regularly use. I consolidated the 14 bankers boxes in the attic into 6: 1 of Classic D&D material, 1 of miscellaneous RPG stuff, 1 of medieval history books, 1 of general reference, and 2 of WWII history. I kept only the computer books I need to reference when my Internet connection is down. Programming references have a notoriously short shelf-life anyway.
Everything else is off to consignment or, in the case of the remaining RPG stuff, Noble Knight (or maybe I should dole out pieces as prizes for Welsh Piper contests that I have yet to invent?). Those 3-ring binders? Neatly organised into one 2.5″ bad boy filled with only the choicest of my hand-written crap, old adventures, maps, and NPCs (dear, dear Snagglepod–how I have mithed thee).
It took me all day, but it was worth it. Well, actually, it took about 4 hours. With breaks. But it seemed like ages. Plus the cat was getting into the boxes and nibbling on the plastic sheet protecting Level 2 of Spindle Mountain and then my back got sore from hurling books all over the place, and at one point I had to dick with the thermostat because it was, like, 80 degrees in my office.
The Result
Now, my RPG stuff occupies just less than one-quarter of my office bookshelf. I share this not because you need to know what's on it (even though I'm gonna tell you that next week), but rather because of the transformative effect this exercise has had on my prioritisation of gaming material. In short, as Deimos sagely suggests, it's this: In every sense of the convention, less is more.
This maxim has been a variously subtle or prominently conscious motivation behind Chimera and other bits of my old-schoolery. It's a fun concept to bandy about in business meetings or when accessorising for a formal dinner, but I've come to believe it's especially true with respect to roleplaying games.
In the dim ages, one's favourite ruleset was pretty much all that was required. Then some supplements to make life easier, like geomorphs or a booklet of NPCs. Then perhaps a setting, maybe a module or two, some alternate rules, a better setting, a book of new monsters to go with that better setting, and then a boxed set of something nifty-sounding and while-not-really-part-of-your-campaign-possibly-worth-including-later. From experience, I admit you can ride this train for a long time before realising how far down the track you've come.
But it's part of the industry, and how RPG companies stay in business. The assumption is that you haven't the time to create your own settings, author your own modules, invent your own monsters, or draw your own maps. So they push out product beyond the rule system, taking the "more is better" approach. Now, let's clarify: RPG companies need to turn a profit—nothing wrong with that. And I'm all for acquiring good material (meaning "useful" or "well-written" or even "thought-provoking" and possibly "evocative of fond memories"). I'm not saying RPG companies should stop at rulesets or that they should fail to support their customers with "good," supplemental product.
But as I was cleaning out my horde, I realised that the vast majority of my collection was comprised of material that seemed "good" when I bought it, yet was really the "opposite of good" when I got it home. So in the bankers box it went. And when the box got full, I got another box.
The funny part—and I mean funny as in, "Smale, you're an idiot"—is that I used to decry 2nd Ed. D&D for all the drek it spawned. I used to get very bothered over TSR's penchant to patronise its customers with appeals to convenience: "Buy this rulebook to make your game better," or "Buy this supplement to save time," or even (shamelessly), "Buy the Fighter's Player Pack because we're pretty sure you'll lose your character sheet without it."
Not only was the glut insulting, but it promoted the "too many rulebooks" problem 2nd Edition was supposed to fix. The real issue—the part that pissed me off—was that it became too commercial for the market, meaning that TSR had become more interested in gamer's dollars than gamer's satisfaction. In this case, "more" was definitely not "better." In the end, you didn't need imagination to play, just a wallet.
So while I joke about The Complete Drunken Peasants Handbook (and if TSR hadn't gone bankrupt, I swear it was coming), the irony is that I had accumulated all sorts of drek on my own. I drank the TSR Kool-Aid. I believed that not purchasing the "Castle Guide" would prevent me from having proper castles in my setting. I believed that my Forgotten Realms campaign would suffer deeply without access to the Maztica boxed set, despite the fact that I had no intention of running a game in that corner of the world. Yet all this material is taking up space on my bookshelf, in my attic, and, as it turns out, inside my head.
So I got rid of it. The fact is, when you have less material laid out for you, you end up creating more on your own. It sounds like more work for the busy GM, but it's not—you'll be surprised at how much more efficient your game prep becomes without a bevy of distracting RPG publications. And even if you do take a bit longer, it's worth it—the results are invariably more satisfying.
Final Words
Having pared down my RPG collection to a fraction of its former volume is amazingly liberating. While I literally have less material, I find that it's already encouraging me to rely more on my imagination. And this fits in better with my style of playing and running games: give me a seed—a kernel—and I'll cultivate it; give me a grown plant, and I'm likely to kill it, even if by accident. I said before that I'd rather have a rulebook and a set of random tables than a full bookshelf of complete supplements, and now I feel like I've actually arrived at a place where I can put my money where my mouth is.
So, tell on. Is your RPG collection big and useful, large and ponderous, or lean and mean?
