It took till last game, but Kansas proved it belonged
MIAMI -- They heard they weren't supposed to be here, that their schedule was Cottonelle soft, and Missouri deserved it more.
For almost a month they listened to it, and on Thursday night, the Kansas Jayhawks threw it back.
With nothing more to prove on the field following his team's 24-21 win over No. 3 Virginia Tech in the FedEx Orange Bowl, Kansas quarterback Todd Reesing answered one question about the naysayers before he pushed past reporters to join his teammates as they hurled oranges at the lingering Kansas fans in Dolphin Stadium -- fans hungry for the national spotlight in the school's "other" revenue sport.
"They could say what they want," Reesing said, out of breath. "We just won 12 games. We're the Orange Bowl champs."
Despite a school-record 11 wins heading into the game, the Jayhawks (12-1) still had something left to prove. After all, they lost to Missouri in the regular-season finale -- a team that had an identical record before it lost to Oklahoma a second time. And who did Kansas beat to deserve a BCS bid? Baylor, Oklahoma State and Texas A&M -- not Oklahoma, Texas and Texas Tech.
Didn't matter.
"I never set these ridiculously long-term goals," said Mangino, who was 2-10 his first season and coaching in the program's first BCS bowl last night. "I hear coaches talk a lot at clinics about when they take over a program, they have a two-year plan, a five-year plan, a seven-year plan. And I listened carefully. I said, 'Boy, those guys are a little bit smarter than me because I didn't do that.'
"I took a very simple, basic approach: Let's take care of the present. Let's work hard every day. We'll be mindful of the future. Let's take each task as they come and get better all the time. If we do that, the by-product will be bowl games and championships and things of that sort."
They're places you don't get to, though, without the recruits.
Mangino has gone into Texas and Oklahoma, and into the homes of players like corner/receiver/punt returner Aqib Talib, who earned the MVP award for his contributions in all three phases of the game.
It was Kansas' effort on special teams, though, that might have been the most surprising.
Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer, who had put so much emphasis on special teams during his tenure there that it has long been deemed Beamer Ball, got beat at his own game. There was the blocked field goal. A fake punt. A missed field goal that was returned for 39 yards.
They could say what they want. We just won 12 games. We're the Orange Bowl champs.
--Kansas QB Todd Reesing
The Jayhawks were also a bit surprising on defense.
In a game that was billed as the Kansas offense, which was ranked second in the nation in scoring at 44.33 points per game, against the nation's No. 2 scoring defense at 15.5 points per game, the Jayhawks won by playing a complete game. They sacked Virginia Tech's quarterback duo of Sean Glennon and Tyrod Taylor five times and snagged three interceptions -- including one for a touchdown. Reesing, an undersized quarterback who would probably be a walk-on at most other high major programs, outthrew both of the Hokies' quarterbacks, as he accounted for 227 yards and one touchdown, despite being tossed around on four sacks.
"This team has fought so hard all season long," Reesing said. "And people continually told us we didn't have a chance to win, we weren't good enough for this reason or that. And we kept coming out each week and finding a way to win."
Kansas wasn't the only team with something to prove last night.
And while it has been well-publicized and followed them throughout the entire season, it can't go without saying that Virginia Tech was playing for an entire community shocked by the tragic deaths of 32 in their community on April 16.
Beamer apologized for not representing his league better and for not finishing what he started this season.
"The intentions were there, we just didn't get it done," he said. "... But I think there's a togetherness at Virginia Tech more so than ever. ... And I really feel like the Hokie Nation is closer together and more caring about each other than they've ever been.
"We've had some good moments this year," he said. "I'm sorry we couldn't finish it off."
For Kansas, those within the program say things have just begun.
"Nobody's going to ever doubt us again," Anthony Collins said. "12-1, the best in Kansas history, and we're going to do it again next year."

Who let the goon squad in? An October 2012 Trip Report
Welcome to my very first trip report! If you like people getting into trouble, traveling with small kids, and arguing with inlaws, then this is for you. First off the intros and then I'll get right to the good stuff.
Let me start by saying I had planned this trip about a millisecond after my sister announced she was pregnant with my niece. Lucky for me I ended up having a baby 5 weeks younger than her, so that worked out perfectly. Two happy kids on a dream family vacation. Hahahahahha not even! Along the way my sister and I each had another child. My sister's younger daughter has serious sensory issues, and Disneyworld would just about ruin any good therapy is doing her. Once my sister dropped out of the trip to stay with her youngest, I agonized about taking my youngest, but ultimately decided to leave her with grandma this trip. Then my friend who has a child a year younger than mine expressed an interest in going, so I said heck yeah, come on! Since we had a prepaid non-refundable hotel room, I asked around to see if anyone else wanted to go, and was surprised when my mother in law and step-father in law said yes. Oh well, the more the merrier. So away we go with the intros. A big group shot: From left to right, those are my friends, Juan and Andrea, and their two year old son, Gabe. In front with the pink ears is my niece, Bella, and I am next to her with the striped ears, holding my son, Cooper. They are both three. Behind me are my inlaws, David and Susan, and my hubby Chris is right there on the end. Just for kicks, these are the kiddos left behind, my niece Juli and my baby Anya. Aren't they so stinkin' cute? Anyway... intros over, time for fun! Table of Contents: Chapter 2: Leaving Day and the Pensacola Dump

Day of leaving:
I woke up at 3:00 am, with my mother in law for some odd reason singing in my ear. We invited them to spend the night so we could get the show on the road by 4am. The night before we loaded up their car with some light packing. And by light packing I mean just about everything we own. I think I took the DIS advice on what to pack a little too seriously. We were packed in that car like sardines. Ok, back to the 3am. She was too excited to sleep and figured everyone else should be too I guess. Oh well, I was up, so I got up, double checked my important stuff, and woke up Chris and Cooper. I thought Cooper would be sleepy and want his pjs. Nope, he was wide awake and wanted to put on his Mickey Mouse shirt. So we got dressed and left. After a short drive, about 2 minutes to be exact, I arrived at my sister's house to switch out Anya for Bella. After I kissed Anya goodbye and hugged her for a good 5 minutes (while all the while she was glaring at me for waking her), we finally headed out at 4:20 am. Yup, 3:00 am to 4:20 am, no packing to do, and two minutes to drive. I'm not sure what we were doing. We made it a grand total of 20 minutes down the road before I heard a sniffling from the backseat. Bella wanted to go home. I said "Nope, not happening" and quickly gave her a cup of milk. She settled right back down and went to sleep. We were driving from right outside Houston to Pensacola this day. We made it to right outside the Texas/Louisiana border in Vidor,Texas, my eyes peeled for a Starbucks that never appeared. Around that time everyone was hungry and needed to potty so we stopped at a Waffle House. Even though there are two in my town, I had never been to a Waffle House before. I thought it was pretty good. I got a cheese omelette and hashbrowns. I liked how you could add whatever you wanted to the hashbrowns. I asked the waitress there about my beloved Starbucks and she told me the closest was in Beaumont, about 15 minutes behind us. Too bad, I would have to suffer through. We got back on the road and drove, and drove, and drove. Actually, it was more like, drive, potty. Drive, potty. Drive, potty.I never knew a three year old's bladder was so small. Each time I was the one elected to take them to the bathroom and it was a whole rigamaro of me begging them not to touch everything, getting hands washed and dried. Ugh. If I never see another public restroom in my life it will be too soon. Louisiana passed by sloooooowly and then we passed Mississippi and Alabama pretty quickly. I was texting Andrea the whole time. She was also driving but had left the night before and was enjoying a shrimp festival in Alabama. We stopped for lunch as soon as we hit Florida at a McDonalds. I still hadn't seen a Starbucks, and other coffee just doesn't do it for me. So at this point I was dragging, and just gritting my teeth to get to Pensacola. We arrived in Pensacola around 3 pm, and had our first misadventure. At the entrance to the town, I saw a sign on the exit for Starbucks. I started begging to go, so Chris left the highway to try to find it. We found it and I got my iced coffee bliss. We got back in the car and the gps completely turned itself around. We were following directions and when it said we arrived at our destination, we were in a walmart parking lot. Not cool. Everyone was making jokes about my Starbucks ruining our beach afternoon, but a quick reset of the gps let us know we were about 10 minutes from our destination, and we arrived soon enough. We stayed at an America's Best Value, and this place was a DUMP. I bought it off travelocity, and was really, really unhappy. Our non-smoking rooms smelled like ashtrays, and they were dirty enough to turn our socks black. Our door had obviously been busted open at one point. There was a booger on my mother in law's bed. The "sparkling pool" was nothing more than an algae filled trash heap, and the safety fence around it was broken. The "continental breakfast" were juice boxes and Little Debbie snacks. I felt really bad, but we only had about 15 hours til we left and it was prepaid so we sucked it up. Below are some pictures of the hotel. Gross, right? Well after all this, we went to the beach, and..... couldn't find it. Second comedy of errors. The directions the desk clerk gave led to a residential area with plenty of water everywhere we could see but we COULD NOT find the beach. Stopped and asked directions and a gas station clerk told us we were 40 minutes away from the nearest public beach. I guess we got really lost. We decided to give up and just get something to eat and go to bed. We were all beat. We got Firehouse Subs. I had never had it before, but it was really good. I got a veggie sub and devoured it all. I really liked their soda machine. It was one of the touchscreen ones where you can mix all sorts of flavors in. We went back to the motel and tried to sleep through all the sirens outside. |

Ok, it's been a year since the mediation for this divorce was done... my attorney sent it to hers and didn't folow up, but it's been siting with her atorney since it was done... what can I do?
There are a few things you can do.
First, I'd be getting on that phone and calling and scheduling a time for a telephone conference or face-to-face meeting with your attorney. Let the attorney know that you want him or her to contact the Opposing Counsel and advise that if the mediation agreement is not finalized, signed, notarized, and filed within the next 7 - 10 days (or whatever time you and your attorney decide is reasonable under the circumstances), then you will be filing a Motion to Enforce and seeking an award of attorney's fees pursuant to OCGA Section 9-15-14 (a) and/or (b).
Second, call the Clerk of Superior Court, provide your Civil Action # (on the top of the pleadings in the case - right hand side), and ask if they show that a mediated agreement has been filed. It may be that the draft prepared at mediation, if the parties signed at that time, was filed with the Court, and if your spouse was the petitioner, then he or she may have already taken a final divorce. Of course, your attorney should have sent you a copy of the Decree. If not, you should request one from him or her - or you can get a copy from the Clerk of Superior Court.
Third, if the agreement was not filed and your attorney is not responsive, you can try calling CAP at http://www.gabar.org/programs/consumer_assistan.... It is the State Bar of Georgia's Consumer Assistance Program. CAP can do things like reach out to the lawyer and request that an update on the case be provided to the client.
Sadly, I hear of several people in your situation. Have a chat with your lawyer, find out exactly when he sent it to your ex's lawyer, and what was sent. Then, if all is as he said, ask if he can file a "motion to compel" the other side to do something....
Often, in my experience, these things arise because the other attorney has not been paid and simply doesn't want to bother... Or, your ex is comfortable with the way things are so he/she is not moving things along... Hang in there and talk to your lawyer.
Good luck.
I am sorry but something doesn't sound right. I would contact your attorney and specifically ask what the timing of this is and why it has not moved along, if you cannot speak with your attorney for whatever reason, I would check with the court to make sure nothing has been filed, this doesn't sound right. Take care and hope that things work out.

A freak incident involving "serial offender" Steven Finn may well have robbed England of a possible series-levelling victory in the fourth One-Day International.
The lanky paceman inadvertently knocked down the bails on his delivery stride that had Man-of-the-Match Suresh Raina 'caught' at slip by skipper Alastair Cook.
At that stage, Raina was on 41 with India 178 for four in its chase of 258 at the start of the 36th over. But much to the relief of the batsman and Indian supporters, Australian umpire Steve Davis signalled 'dead ball'.
Later, Cook said, "There was a bit of confusion. Apparently we had been told (by the umpires) that because he knocked them over twice in a previous game (at Rajkot), he was a 'serial offender' and that he was going to get warned straightaway.
"In the heat of the moment, I think a few of us might have forgotten that or whether we'd been told that, I was not entirely sure. I know it's a tough job for the umpires but it's obviously frustrating because at that time, that wicket would've again put us in just a slightly better situation than we were in. So it's obviously frustrating when those little things don't go your way.
"Well, at the time I didn't know, but apparently the umpires were pretty clear that they had told us that, so I must have been deaf when I was listening to them. At the moment, obviously with the emotions quite high, you know it could have cost us, probably not, but if they did say that then it is fair."
When asked whether he was frustrated with Finn, Cook said, "He bowled 60 balls and he knocked them off once, so he probably bowled 61 balls then with that 'dead' ball. He's a lot better than he was." — Special Correspondent

AVX Develops High Q, Low ESR, 500 & 250VDC Multilayer Organic RF Capacitors
AVX Corporation, a leading manufacturer of advanced passive components and interconnect solutions, has developed a 500 and 250VDC, 0603 case size surface mount capacitor capable of supporting frequencies ranging from 1 MHz to well above 5 GHz. Designated the MLO3 Series, the advanced organic RF capacitors maintain high Q and high self resonance while providing low ESR values at high frequencies. Based on AVX's patented multilayer low-loss organic (MLO™) technology, the polymer-based organic capacitors use high-conductivity copper interconnects in a multilayer fashion.
The ability to fabricate these components on large area substrates with sophisticated laser-direct imaging yields low profile, low ESR, and high-performance RF capacitors with improved cost benefits and tolerance control. Additionally, AVX's MLO™ Capacitors are expansion matched to printed circuit boards for improved reliability.
"AVX's new line of organic capacitors represents a revolutionary departure from traditional passive SMT components," said Larry Eisenberger, product manager at AVX. "The multilayer low-loss organic RF capacitor's state-of-the-art design ultimately increases performance characteristics while decreasing costs."
The RoHS-compliant RF capacitors are rated for 50-500VDC, and feature capacitance values ranging from 0.1 pF to 2.5 pF and capacitance tolerance to +/- 0.02 pF. Available in 0603 case size with a 100% tin finish, the MLO3 Series features stable NPO characteristics and an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.
AVX's MLO3 Series surface mount capacitors are ideal for usage in RF power and low noise amplifiers, filter networks, and MRI systems.

FYI: I'm a total gardening newbie, so I don't really know what I'm doing. I live in an area where the water table is high and everyone's sump pumps go off all day, no matter the weather. I also suspect that I might have a small stream underground in one portion of my yard since both of the sump pumps on that side of the house go off about every 30 minutes, even if it hasn't rained for many weeks. Also if you shoot a straight line from the stream that surfaces 3 blocks away from my house, it goes right through the wet portion of my yard.I don't get standing water in my yard, as there is at least a decent grade that carries to towards the street. My yard isn't very large, and I would like to plant something that is tolerant of wet soil. The area that has the most water is long and narrow, and is between my drive way and my house. The area is about 15' wide and about 60' long. There is one mature holly tree smack dab in the middle that's about 8' across. This portion of my yard gets full sun from about an hour after sunrise, to about two or so hours before sunset. I would like to hear some suggestions from the green thumbs around here for some things I could plant in this area that would do well in this type of environment. I wouldn't want anything with too pervasive of a root system since it will be relatively close to my house, and not far from the water line in the front of the house. Also, has anyone with busy sump pumps developed a system of reclaiming some of the pumped out water to be used for watering other areas of the yard? Thank you for any suggestions that you may have! T |
Follow-Up Postings:
You don't say whether the damp is sunny or shady. We have a similar problem in a rather shady sandy area and we are looking at stream side plantings, such as river birch, serviceberry, ferns, iris, etc. You should check out rainscaping.org, chesapeake bay foundation, and Maryland native plants. Just google them and see what you come up with, but look for plants that like a lot of water sometimes. All the rainscaping sites will have lists. Lsa |
Thanks for the info! That part of the yard gets direct sun for between a half and a third of the day, so from about 4 to 6 hours in the middle of the day. We were also looking at maybe a couple of pear trees and maybe a blueberry bush, as I've been told by people that they do pretty well in moister soil. We're pretty much open to anything that doesn't become a huge ordeal to maintain. We have time to work in the garden, but right now it's not something we want too spend every weekend doing. |
I second the suggestion for native wet-feet plants. Also google rain gardens. We started digging a French drain for the sump pump outflow, got as far as a big hole that the sump pump pumped into, became distracted, became undistracted, realized that dragonflies, birds, and the occasional frog were using the big hole, and finished it as a pond. I planted native (mostly) wet-feet plants around it. |
Thanks to both of you for the suggestions! That rainscaping.org site looks to be a great place to get started. |

The first trailer for the upcoming sequel to the Wii launch title Red Steel. The game seems to use in-game assets like the models and possibly animations but it's way too crisp to be on the Wii (no offense).

Lacuna Coil Unveil 'Nothing Stands in Our Way' Video
Lacuna Coil are digging deeper into their 'Broken Crown Halo' album by debuting their 'Nothing Stands in Our Way' video.
Lacuna Coil are digging deeper into their 'Broken Crown Halo' album by debuting their 'Nothing Stands in Our Way' video.
Lacuna Coil rack up a lot of frequent flyer miles from Italy with plenty of North American touring.
Mental note: study up on chess moves before ever even considering taking on Lacuna Coil's Cristina Scabbia. You'll understand why after watching the new video for the band's latest single, 'I Forgive (But I Won't Forget Your Name).'
Lacuna Coil co-vocalist Cristina Scabbia was the guest on Full Metal Jackie's radio show this past weekend. Fresh off the "Hottest Chicks in Hard Rock" tour, Scabbia talked about the trek, the band's transition after having two members retire and channeling her own personal struggles into the band's songwriting. If you missed Jackie's show, here's her full interview with Lacuna Coil's Cristina Scabbia.
We've got an extra special treat for you thanks to Lacuna Coil. The Italian metal band's newest album, 'Broken Crown Halo,' will be released tomorrow (April 1), but you can hear the entire album right now exclusively at Loudwire.
Anyone up for a late night stroll through the graveyard? It might be a little more enticing if you had Lacuna Coil's latest single 'Die and Rise' serving as the soundtrack.
Lacuna Coil's seventh studio album 'Broken Crown Halo' will be released April 1. A couple weeks ago the song 'Nothing Stands In Our Way' debuted, and now the band has unleashed the lyric video for the track, which you can watch above.
Lacuna Coil will be making some changes as they prepare to hit the road in support of their upcoming 'Broken Crown Halo' album. The band's longtime guitarist Cris "Pizza" Migliore and drummer Cristiano 'Criz' Mozzati are stepping down from the band.
Lacuna Coil are ready to rock your world again as the band ramps up promotion of their forthcoming album, 'Broken Crown Halo.' The Italian rockers have just unleashed the first taste of the new disc in the form of the song 'Nothing Stands in Our Way' (which can be heard in the player below).
Former Nightwish vocalist Anette Olzon just dropped a huge bombshell about her exit from the Finnish symphonic metal act. In a new interview, Olzon claims she was unceremoniously fired from the band and likens her departure from Nightwish to that of original vocalist Tarja Turunen.

Sodexo: Solid Revenue And Profit Growth In Fiscal 2012
Subsequent events
Sodexo completed its acquisition of Servi-Bonos, S.A. de C.V. in Mexico on November 2, 2012. Servi-Bonos will be consolidated in the Group's financial statements for ten months in Fiscal 2013.
Servi-Bonos is a leading provider of food and meal vouchers and cards, serving close to 5,000 clients in Mexico through its nationwide network. In 2011, Servi-Bonos generated issue volume (the face value of vouchers and cards multiplied by the number of vouchers and cards issued) of close to 300 million euros.
This acquisition reinforces Sodexo's international leadership in Quality of Life services in the buoyant Mexican growth economy.
Outlook At the November 6, 2012 Board of Directors meeting, Chief Executive Officer Michel Landel underlined the effectiveness of the Group's long-term strategy, based on a unique range of Quality of Life services, and an unparalleled global network and undisputed leadership in emerging countries. Michel Landel said that Fiscal 2013 begins with sharply contrasting trends: On the one hand, the Group benefits from:- sustained development and growth in Sodexo's activities (in On-site Services and Benefits and Rewards Services) in emerging economies, where the Group continues to strengthen its positions
- important new contract awards, such as with HCR ManorCare, one of the largest chains of nursing homes in the U.S. and a stronger pipeline of prospective clients in North America, notably in Health Care and Seniors
- a differentiated integrated service offering that responds to the increasing demand for mutualized services by major international companies.
- accelerate profitable growth by capitalizing particularly on Sodexo's offers and expertise, by client segment and sub-segment
- strengthen competitiveness with a program of operational efficiency and cost reduction. During the past three years, the Group has achieved 150 million euros in economies in overheads. The program launched today should allow Sodexo, within three years, to reduce on site operating costs by 0.6% of revenues and lower overhead costs by 0.4% of revenues, improving productivity at all levels. The program's implementation will result in exceptional costs between 130 and 150 million euro over the next 18 months with a positive impact of the same amount in Fiscal 2015 and the following fiscal years.
- achieve an average of 7% annual consolidated revenue growth
- reach a consolidated operating margin of 6.3% by the end of Fiscal 2015.
- a potential market estimated at over 800 billion euro
- a unique Quality of Life services offer particularly adapted to respond to changing client needs
- an unparalleled global network covering 80 countries
- undisputed leadership in the emerging markets
- a strong culture and engaged teams
- excellent financial strength
- its independence.

The psychological benefits of physical exercise continues to get substantial attention. Regular activity regardless of demographic variables can produce an array of physical and mental benefits, leading some researchers to encourage physicians to prescribe specific physical activities as part of treatment for a variety …

I can testify that exercise works. I created a website for a health club that was going out of business, and in payment, I received a stair climber. I use it instead of prescription drugs to keep away depression. As an agoraphobic, it was difficult for me to exercise adequately before, so this has been great.
I was briefly hospitalized and briefly stuck in a sort of half-way house back when I was severely depressed and suicidal, and even though I'm agoraphobic, so I'm used to somewhat limited activity, those institutions were horrible places to be active. In the mental ward of a hospital, you shuffle around in stocking feet (no shoes, or when you get your shoes back, no shoelaces). They have occupational therapy where you make useless trinkets which you can take home to remind you of the horrors of the place, and you have to participate successfully in group therapy in order to get out, but there's nothing physical beyond shuffling from your room to the OT room to the group room. In the half-way house, we went on *one* short, briskless stroll in four days (it was too much for one woman who was severely out-of-shape). I left two suggestions when I got out–get a treadmill so we can *move* even though we're stuck in a house–and serve something vegetarian (I was hungry by the time I got out because almost every meal was meat-based).
I agree exercise is helping me, I suffer from major depression. I was on different meds, which made me gain weight, in turn I felt worse. I suffered from an awful lot of side effects so decided to exercise , try the homeopath route, and eat carefully.
I am now feeling a little better , sometimes I try to make excuses not to exercise but I know I will beat myself up if I don't exercise.

Eastern Michigan Eagles (4-6)
@Purdue Boilermakers (9-2)
Saturday, December 10
Mackey Arena
Attendance: 14,318
Eastern Michigan
West Lafayette, IN (Sports Network) - Robbie Hummel tallied 13 points and eight rebounds, as the Purdue Boilermakers extended their home winning streak to 24 games with a 61-36 rout over Eastern Michigan at Mackey Arena.
Hummel was the only scorer in double figures for the Boilermakers (9-2), who won big despite shooting just 36.4 percent from the floor and 52.2 percent at the foul line.
Derek Thompson notched a game-high 15 points and seven rebounds off the bench for the Eagles (4-6), who have now dropped five straight. Darrell Lampley entered the game averaging 17 points per game but was held to just five points on 2-of-7 shooting. He also committed a game-high five turnovers.
Purdue led from start to finish. The Boilermakers jumped out to an early 8-0 lead although EMU withstood the storm and rallied back to tie the score at 10-10 with 13:06 to play until halftime. The hosts went on to hit 5-of-13 three-pointers in the opening frame to take a 29-22 lead into the break.
The Boilermakers opened the second half on a 9-1 run and never looked back, as EMU shot just 5-of-23 (21.7 percent) from the floor over the final 20 minutes.
The victory was not without its flaws, as the Boilermakers were out-rebounded by nine and also committed nine more turnovers than EMU. Still, Purdue was able to extend its home winning streak, which was the fourth-longest in the nation entering the weekend. The team's last home loss against a non- conference opponent came in December of 2008 against Duke.

Looking good – you might want some more carbon with that though!
I'm quite looking forward to seeing this finished.
Make sure you make a really marmite choice somewhere in the build purely for bridleway ass sniff points. -
what width bars are those Dave?
I had a steel Kilauea back in the day and remember getting very excited about switching the Project2′s for some of the first Rockshox Judy XC's so I could enjoy 80mm of luxury travel, happy days.
I think you should put V-brakes on it………….and bar ends.
When is the Steel Explosif coming back??
Wow, that's gonna be a super bling build if the components attached so far are anything to go!
I've just been riding the Cannondale Flash . Had to put bar ends on .
Had to .
It's the law .
And those bars are too wide . -
C'mon davey get rid of the horrid tyres
…..and put on some ESI racer edge grips.
Bars are 660mm, that's XC right? ;o)
ESI racer edge grips are the wrong red unfortunately.
Marmite configurations are planned :o)
Dave, I have some white ESI grips at my house…
those bars don't look narrower than a blue whale
Reackon you should fit the Dyna-sys XT group on there only with a double ring setup to remain pure… (It's a damn site cheaper than Srams XX groupset).

Hi Could be a spathe that changed it's mind?? IME they turn green over time. There are variagated typed but that's usually a white edge on the leaves gary |
- Posted by plantomaniac08 8 (My Page) on Tue, Jun 18, 13 at 12:29
Gary, I could of sworn I responded to you earlier this morning. I must have eaten my own post. That's a possibility I didn't think of! I guess we'll find out if it is a spathe if it dies eventually. If it doesn't die... then the mystery continues hehe. Planto |
- Posted by grabmebymyhandle 6 Kentucky (My Page) on Tue, Jun 18, 13 at 14:28
A spathe is actually a modified leaf, it's not uncommon for some aroids to get confused, it's often a result of being treated with giberillic acid to force flower, not always tho |
- Posted by plantomaniac08 8 (My Page) on Tue, Jun 18, 13 at 15:25
grabmebymyhandle, Hmm, that is a good possibility considering this PL bloomed back to back (it didn't produce any leaves in between both blooms). Not to say back to back blooms is... impossible, but that might explain it. Thanks! I had one more question regarding this PL. Am I incorrect in assuming that this will be a larger "cultivar"? I've noticed that larger PLs tend to have deeper ridges in their leaves (for a lack of better words); my smaller PL does not have ridges as deep as this one. Thanks again. Planto |

I have another question. Will this PL straighten out eventually or do I need to repot it crooked to compensate? Planto |

The recent boom of HD remakes is a great step forward for the games industry. A handful of cynics may wish to label the move as an easy opportunity to make money from old rope, but it's hard to imagine publishers renovating and repackaging the poorer games in their library.
Instead, we're beginning to see unfairly overlooked gaming greats given a second shot at hitting the sales figures they richly deserved first time around.
While Ico and Shadow of the Colossus (and Splinter Cell and Tomb Raider...) will once again be venturing into stores nationwide, games such as Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath are taking a wholly different, digital download-focused strategy.
XBLA and PSN are safer options to re-release renovated classics thanks to the lack of physical media production and distribution costs, and Ubisoft's hoping they're the platforms on which Michel 'Rayman' Ancel's wonderfully evocative adventure, Beyond Good & Evil, can find the success it always merited.
Ubisoft's 2003 classic was intended to be a Zelda for a new generation but weak sales scuppered plans for a three-part series. However, as the years went by something odd happened: the game seemed to get better.
From a technological point of view, the game never actually improved - these were the days before console patches, after all - but while other genres slowly homogenised by latching onto the flavours of the seasons (remember all those WW2 games anyone?), Beyond Good & Evil's unique offerings set it farther and farther apart from the massing glut of similar titles.
Here was a game unlike anything else available and the few people who bought it responded by keenly spreading the word. The unmistakable buzz of cult online fanbases grew and grew until Ubisoft did two brilliant things: okay a sequel and give the go-ahead for a remake for a new audience to enjoy.
Retouched, polished and tweaked though it may be, Beyond Good & Evil HD is every bit the forgotten classic from 2003. Even eight years on it feels as fresh today as it did back at launch.
Associate Producer Eric Damian-Vernet likens the game to James Cameron's Avatar and it's not hard to see why: it's the tale of toil and strife on a beautifully realised alien planet, told with deft confidence and sprinkled with so many subtle touches it's nigh on impossible not to be captivated by its charm.
Hillys is the world in question and, like Avatar's Pandora, it's a mesmerising location. It's a contemporary fantasy planet where humans live in harmony alongside anthropomorphic goats and pigs and where seagulls share the skies with schools of fish.
Where items are scanned and digitised by electronic satchels for easy storage, and people own AI companions who act as dynamic personal organisers. Hovercraft is the preferred mode of travel and it's a wise choice given the world's vast bodies of water and small islands.
An idyllic life? Hardly. The planet is scourged by alien invasions from the hostile DomZ forces, who kidnap Hillyans for purposes initially unknown. Despite the world's undeniable beauty, it's these Hillyans who give the game its inescapable charm.
Central to everything is everywoman Jade - a spunky lead as believable as any character in any game you choose to mention. She's peppy, she's strong-yet-vulnerable, she's caring and she's level-headed; the epitome of the girl-next-door and the perfect heroine.
At the game's opening she's thrown straight into the deep end. When a deadly alien meteor shower threatens her orphanage she's mortified to discover that there aren't enough funds at the bank to power its forcefield shields.

Ledge; pedestal block.And these are the measures of the altar after the cubits: The cubit is a cubit and an hand breadth; even the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about shall be a span: and this shall be the higher place of the altar. And from the bottom upon the ground even to the lower SETTLE shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser SETTLE even to the greater SETTLE shall be four cubits, and the breadth one cubit.

The Hebrew language has 8 words which are thus translated:
yashabh, nachath, `amadh, shaqat, tabha`, natsabh, maqom, qapha'. Now the meaning is to settle down, to cause to occur (Ezekiel 36:11 the King James Version; 1 Chronicles 17:14); then it denotes fixedness (2 Kings 8:11; Psalms 119:89; Proverbs 8:25); again it points to a condition of absolute quiescence, as the settlings on the lees (Jeremiah 48:11); and in still another place it means packing solidly together (Psalms 65:10). In the New Testament the words hedraios, themelioo, and tithemi, have been translated "settle." the Revised Version (British and American) in 1 Peter 5:10 has translated "establish," and the context unquestionably points to the idea of a fixed establishment in the faith. In Luke 21:14 the word translated "settle" evidently points to a fixed determination.

Summary: The recent war with Iraq has had the greatest impact on journalism since the Vietnam War. Before the next war arrives, how the news media cover conflict -- and international affairs more generally -- should be scrutinized. The questions explored in this book include: * Were embedded journalists' reports from Iraq overused and was context sacrificed in favor of drama? * Is the relationship between news organizations and the Pentagon too cozy? * Has Al-Jazeera's impact been underestim ...show moreated? * Is the Internet superseding other media? * Has public diplomacy become mired in clumsy propaganda? * Do policy makers understand how news coverage affects global politics? Beyond the Front Lines examines news coverage of modern war, with particular emphasis on the performance of journalists during the 2003 U.S.-Iraq war. It also analyzes the relationship between news coverage and American foreign policy, as well as how globalization is reshaping the news business. Philip Seib also describes the changing technologies and ethics of modern warfare, suggests ways journalists might carry out their job better, and offers a new perspective on the role of the news media in a high-tech, globalized, and dangerous world. ...show less

It's All About The Children...
I have spent more time than usual, these past few weeks, with my grandchildren in Cicero, Indiana. Late last year, Amy and Dave welcomed a newborn baby boy into their lives as a foster child. We call him Jay-Jay. At the time, everyone assumed he would be available for adoption since his birth mother had admittedly made arrangements to sell him to a baby broker before he was born.

[Hook: Rihanna]
from Eminem (Ft. Rihanna) – The Monster Lyrics on Genius
This hook was co-written by Bebe Rexha and Jon Bellion.
Rexha had some thoughts about writing it:
I was in a really dark place, a dark head space. Figuring out where you are in life and trying to make shit work for yourself—it gets to you. You get super down on yourself. I was just trying to get out of a depressed phase. That's where [the song] came from.
It's such a special song. I know when (Eminem) heard it, it spoke to him.
The record and lyrics feel dark, but it's coming from a really light place. I had a moment where I was like, I'm so tired of waiting for other people to accept me. I'm fucked-up, but that's OK… You get to the point where you're like, I'm just doing me and if people don't like it, then it is what it is.
Jon Bellion is the one who wrote the whole hook, and he also talks about it in an interview with MTV News as well as HotNewHipHop.

Hybrid Parallel Light-Weight Programming of Hybrid Systems
Hasso Plattner Institute, University of Potsdam, Prof.-Dr.-Helmert-Str. 2-3, 14482 Potsdam, Germany
Parallel & Cloud Computing, Vol. 1, Iss. 2, 2012
title={Hybrid Parallel Light-Weight Programming of Hybrid Systems},
author={Feinbube, Frank and Sobania, Jan-Arne and Tr{"o}ger, Peter and Polze, Andreas},
The advent of homogeneous many-core processors has been widely noticed as a major shift in the architecture of commodity computer systems. It has influenced the design of operating systems and programming models and gives a boost to high-level parallelization libraries. Future commodity systems will combine homogeneous many-core processors with graphical processing units and other special purpose accelerators to a new class of architecture called hybrid system. These systems provide improved hardware support for specialized computational tasks of different applications. In contrast to the programming for homogeneous architectures with existing tools, programming for such hybrid architectures is still in its infancy. Today, the software development for such systems explicitly has to address vendor-specific and version-specific characteristics of the particular devices. Due to this, refactoring of existing code becomes a tedious and error-prone task. We present our approach for automatically transforming high-level parallel code written in .NET to parallel code suitable for direct execution on hybrid systems. Our approach relies on the transformation of .NET byte code to an accelerator-aware version, which makes the concept applicable to all .NET-supported programming languages. Hybrid system hardware is targeted by the generation of accelerator-neutral intermediate code, which makes our approach applicable for a wider class of accelerator types. We show the feasibility of our solution with a workload that consists of well-known and widely accepted compute-intense algorithmic problems.
