.- Pope John Paul II, especially in his dying hours, taught the world what it means to be human, said Cardinal Corman Murphy-O'Connor. Prior to leaving for Britain's top Catholic cleric reflected on the death and life of Pope John Paul II. He commented that the attention the Pope's final days and death have received in the international media and around the world was amazing, moving and a testament to the importance of his teaching.
"The lesson he gave us was that our dignity comes from God, and nothing, nothing, can take it away: not suffering, not even death. It is that part of us which is made by God and for God," the cardinal-archbishop of Westminster said.
"Pope John Paul II gave of himself to the world; and in his final days the world gathered round him quite simply to give thanks for him," he observed.
"This is a solemn time," the cardinal stated. "The Catholic Church—and perhaps, in some senses, all Christians—have lost their shepherd; we are, in these days, missing a visible expression of our unity."
Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams said: "Pope John Paul was a leader of manifest holiness and a faithful and prayerful friend of the Anglican Church."

Winter Park Resort is an alpine ski resort in Winter Park, Colorado in the Rocky Mountains. Located just off U.S. Highway 40, the resort is about an hour and a half's drive from Denver, Colorado.
The mountain opened for the 1939–1940 season as Winter Park Ski Area[1] and was owned and operated by the city and county of Denver until 2002, when Denver entered into a partnership with Intrawest ULC, a Canadian corporation headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, which has operated the resort since then.[2] For nearly 70 years a popular way for Denver residents to get there was via the Ski Train, which arrived at the resort's base area through the Moffat Tunnel. (The Ski Train was terminated by the railroad in spring 2009.) Winter Park Resort is home to one of the world's largest and oldest disabled skiing programs, the National Sports Center for the Disabled.
The resort consists of three interconnected mountain peaks — Winter Park, Mary Jane, and Vasquez Ridge — which share a common lift ticket. Mary Jane, opened in 1975, has a separate base area and is known for its moguls, tree skiing, hidden huts and generally more difficult terrain. It encompasses the above-tree line terrain of Parsenn Bowl. Vasquez Ridge, opened in 1986, offers intermediate terrain and mogul runs. In 1997, 435 acres (176 ha) of backcountry terrain in Vasquez Cirque were opened to skiing, although access required hiking from the top of Mary Jane;[3] the 2006 relocation of the former Outrigger triple chairlift to the Cirque provides lift access to much of that terrain.
Since taking over operation of the resort, Intrawest has made several changes to the mountain's infrastructure, renovating the food services in the West Portal base lodge, opening new lifts in 2005 and 2006, and publicly announcing plans for a new base village to include hundreds of new condominia, a parking structure, a "Village Pond," and a "family swim center," all accessible via a new open-air gondola to be known as "The Village Cabriolet."[4] However, while this change has been great for the economic development of the town and the resort, it has also been a threat to the existing historic resort base. The historic Balcony House remains under constant threat of demolition. This historic building was designed in the Googie style of architecture, which was a popular style in the 1940s to the 1960s. This building is a standing memory to the original history of Winter Park.
In an attempt to make Winter Park into a year-round resort, Intrawest operates the lifts during the summer months for mountain biking. The Arrow chairlift also services an alpine slide in the summer, and the base area features miniature golf, a climbing wall, and other diversions. While the Winter Park area is also a popular destination for golf, there are no golf courses located at, or operated by, the resort itself.

THIBODAUX — A 20-year-old man is charged with raping a teenager while she was babysitting at a house in Bayou Blue two months ago.
Lafourche Sheriff's Office detectives arrested Corey Wayne Lebouef, 259 Hummingbird Drive, Bayou Blue, at his home Tuesday. The 16-year-old girl, who was not identified because she is the victim of an alleged sex crime, told police she was babysitting at a home in Bayou Blue when Lebouef forced her to have sex with him.
He is charged with forcible rape and remained at the Lafourche Parish jail in lieu of a $50,000 bond.
CORRECTION: This article has been edited to reflect the following correction. The rape allegation was reported to police recently, though a Sheriff's Office spokeswoman could not immediately provide an exact date.

perspective. The National MS Society invests about $40 million in research, funding about 325 projects worldwide, at least a third of which have an animal approval associated with them.
Animal models will continue to be necessary in MS research for the foreseeable future, Coetzee noted. Due to the nature of the disease, alternatives to some of the models for drug discovery and development are not currently possible. Coetzee described some of the animal models used in MS Society–funded research. The experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) model in a non-human primate is as close as science has come thus far to an animal model for MS. Few labs use it because of its difficulty and Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) concerns about the model's profoundly debilitating effects. There are viral demyelinating models (Theiler's virus, mouse hepatitis virus), that mimic progressive forms of the disease. The problem, particularly with the Theiler's model, is that few pharmaceutical companies want to work with a viral demyelinating model; it is not clean and no one wants to introduce viruses into their animal colony. Other researchers have used chemically induced demyelination (e.g., cuprizone, lysolecithin, ethidium bromide). This is not a model of MS, as there is no autoimmune inflammation, only demyelination. Regardless, these models are powerful tools for understanding how to rebuild myelin in the nervous system. Coetzee noted that the MS patient community supports the society's investment in animal research because they believe that without it, current therapies would not be available.
The National MS Society's policies on animal research are relatively straightforward, Coetzee explained. Applicants for funding are required to provide the Society with an IACUC approval (or the equivalent outside the United States) before any funds are released. The Society also conducts annual monitoring.
Overall, the National MS Society's philosophy is that animal research is essential for progress in MS research. The society encourages the development of alternative models. The society also publicly states its support for animal research, but is careful not to draw attention to animal research unless needed.
Session chair Frankie Trull opined that defending and supporting animal research is not necessarily the same as promoting the best outcomes for human health, and suggested that scientific scrutiny of animal experiments could be a role for patient advocacy groups. Coetzee responded that the National MS Society does consider whether an animal model is appropriate when granting funds and agreed that this is an element of oversight that patient advocacy groups can apply. Patient advocate organizations, as well as commercial organizations, government, and all funders, bear a responsibility to ask what the costs of these cures and treatments developed.

Anyone have an idea of the minimum chest freezer size I would need for 6 5 gal. corneys? Would a 5.5 cu. ft. be big enough? I'm not worried about the CO2 tank because I can just run that through the collar and keep it outside of the freezer.
Mine is just ~7.5 cu. ft. and I can fit four in just fine, but it's too snug to squeeze in a fifth keg. For six, I think you'll need something along the lines of ~10 cu. ft. A lot depends on the interior design.
How big of a collar are you planning on building? That can make a big difference. If the collar is big enough you can take advantage of putting a keg or 2 on the hump in the freezer as well.
7.2 cu. ft. chest freezer from Home Depot with a collar will fit 6 cornies.
I can fit 7 plus a co2 bottle in a 15. I might be able to fit 8th maybe.
I have a 9.2 with a big hump so I can fit 4 no problem with co2 on bottom, If I make a big collar I can fit another 2 on the hump. 5.5 sounds way to small..I would think maybe 3 with co2.. Jay

LAS VEGAS Two warriors, one ring. Four fists, one great fight. Just 12 rounds, too close to call. So why not do it again. On Saturday, Sept. 16, live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nev., Marco Antonio Barrera and Rocky Juarez will pick up where they left off in May as they determine once and for all the best 130-pound fighter in the world. BARRERA-JUAREZ II TOO CLOSE TO CALL headlines a hard-hitting night of boxing presented by Golden Boy Promotions in association with Main Events. HBO Pay-Per-View will televise the card beginning at 9 p.m. EST/6 p.m. PST.. In the first bout between these combatants, held Saturday, May 20 at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles, Calif., Barrera scored a hard-fought 12-round split decision over Juarez, a result that provoked weeks of discussion among fight fans who had varying opinions on the final verdict of the fight. However, one thing was not in dispute and that was the high level of fist skills and heart displayed by both men throughout the epic battle; one which simply begs for a rematch. This was a great fight between two great fighters in May and I am looking forward to seeing them do it again Sept. 16, said Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya. Marco wants to prove that the first win was no fluke and Rocky wants that title belt around his waist. This is a war in the making. "Barrera and Juarez both showed tremendous heart and courage in their first fight" said HBOPPV's Mark Taffet. "The rematch has the sizzle and anticipation that every fight fan wants." We are appreciative of the opportunity for a rematch and we believe Juarez will emerge victorious. said Main Events Kathy Duva. Marco Antonio Barrera (62-4, 42 KOs) has a commitment to excellence few fighters have today. A world champion in three weight classes with more than 60 wins to his name, it is hard to believe that the Mexico City native is only 32 years old. He fights with the vigor of a man 10 years his junior and that has led him to victories over the likes of Erik Morales, Johnny Tapia, Kevin Kelley, Paulie Ayala, Agapito Sanchez and Kennedy McKinney over the course of his more than 16-year pro career. And he is not done yet. Rocky Juarez (25-2, 18 KOs), however, would like to join Morales, Junior Jones and Manny Pacquiao as the only fighters to beat Barrera. The 2000 U.S. Olympic Silver medalist came close to achieving this feat in May. An aggressive fighter with impressive power who holds wins over Guty Espadas Jr. and Zahir Raheem, Juarez would like to even the score with Barrera Sept. 16; it is a formidable task but one which he believes he is capable of fulfilling. A stellar undercard will be announced at a later date. Tickets, which are priced at $350, $250, $175, and $75, will go on sale today at noon. Tickets will be available at the MGM Grand Garden Arena box office and also will be sold at all Las Vegas Ticketmaster locations (Tower Records/WOW!, Smiths Food and Drug Centers, Robinsons-May stores and Ritmo Latino). Ticket sales are limited to eight (8) per person. To charge by phone with a major credit card, call Ticketmaster at (702) 474-4000. Tickets also will be available for purchase at www.mgmgrand.com or www.ticketmaster.com. The Barrera vs. Juarez II pay-per-view telecast, beginning at 9 p.m. EST/6 p.m. PST, has a suggested retail price of $44.95, will be distributed by HBO Pay-Per-View and will be available to more than 56 million pay-per-view homes. The telecast will be available in HD-TV for those viewers who can receive HD. HBO Pay-Per-View is the leading supplier of event programming to the pay-per-view industry.

Tropicana Field
Attendance: None
St. Petersburg, FL (Sports Network) - Pat Burrell drove in the deciding run in the eighth as Tampa Bay rallied to edge Baltimore, 7-6, in the opener of a four-game set from Tropicana Field.
Willy Aybar hit a three-run shot for the Rays, who have won two in a row and seven of 10. Gabe Kapler, Ben Zobrist and Evan Longoria added solo homers.
Lance Cormier (3-3) worked one relief inning for the win and Grant Balfour got the final out of the contest for his second save.
"There's no quit in here. We're still playing for our pride and we have a lot of it," Rays starting pitcher Jeff Niemann said.
Brian Roberts hit a two-run homer and Melvin Mora also knocked in a pair for the Orioles, who stumbled to an 11th consecutive defeat.
Chris Ray (0-4) was charged with the game-winning run while recording two outs.
"No lead has been safe [with our bullpen]," Orioles manager Dave Trembley said.
Zobrist started the eighth with a double, advanced on B.J. Upton's grounder to short and Burrell sent him home with the lead run on a deep fly to left- center.
Cormier, who recorded the final out of the eighth, got the first two batters in the ninth before an infield single by Roberts. Balfour was called on and retired Lou Montanez on a liner to left.
Kapler and Zobrist hit first-inning homers to put the Rays ahead 2-0, but the Orioles responded with two runs each in the third and fourth frames.
In the former, a run-scoring single by Matt Wieters and an RBI groundout by Mora tied the game and in the latter Roberts hammered a two-run homer to right-center.
Longoria began the home fourth with a long ball for a one-run game, but Jeff Fiorentino's RBI single in the fifth put the O's back on top 5-3.
Mora's single with the bases loaded and two down in the sixth brought in Nick Markakis with Baltimore's sixth run.
Matt Albers allowed two singles around a groundout and a strikeout in the seventh, but Aybar evened the game with a pinch-hit three-run homer.

Could it be that you are backing up too far which will bring you back to the discussion forum? Just one click too many would do that. |
yeah but one click should take me past this thread list. it's being a PITA lol |
This is the weird thing. If I click the button at the top of the thread I go to discussion side. If I click the button at the bottom of thread I stay here. Do you think I can remember from one time to another??? Of course not! LOL |

Excellent craftmenship

Beautifully made intricate design, and it is substantial. The picture doesn't give any hints on the size, so it came as a surprise to me. Nevertheless it is a keeper, just it's not for everyone and for every day.

Beautiful Craftmanship
Par ROSE

There is no doubt this is a beautiful ring lots of silver a real heavy weight!! The problem for me was the sizing, the ring was too small and the size up too big. The issue is the under gallery while it looks great wasn't taken into consideration for the sizing. I took it to a reputable jeweler to see about sizing up, yes he could do it for approximately the price of the ring on TSC, price quoted included sizing up a little, re rhodium and the black antiquing, too much although I do appreciate the amount of time and work required. In fairness to Samuel B the company offers a 1 year warranty which includes a 1 time sizing, for me not enough time. As I said at the beginning its a beautiful ring you could get lucky with the size being just right.

Older Acura TLs
carguy58 Posts: 2,303
scholl Posts: 13I hope Acura got the message and increased the headroom for the 2004 - it turned off many potential buyers - no problem in my 2000 3 series BMW - strange. In addition, I hope they did away with the faux wood (if it's part of the new design) I'd rather pay a little more for something that looks better.
dulnev Posts: 652I feel exactly the same way. The current 2003 TL-S is my fifth Honda/Acura. The second one, the 1998 Accord in Emerald Green (very dark green) had a bad-looking paint job after just two years. There were micro-scratches and swirls visible on the paint, plust every little dent and chip would stand out like sore thumbs.
After I traded in that car, I woved never to buy a dark Honda again. My current TL-S is silver. It's not the color I liked the most (the Antracite is BEAUTIFUL), but I know it's the color that would continue looking good for the longest time. -
josephacura Posts: 11I have to agree this will be a great car. I have heard it will have about 280 hp (has to have more to differentiate it from the 2003 Accord, V6 with 240). Acura will surely do the normal and release a 2005 Type S with about 305 hp, but they have to make the car have more torque.......the 96-98 TLs are very nice, the 2.5's are seem to be very quick off the start (that is what I have, it is the SAME as the 3.2, only a few thousand less). Acura seems to always get it right. I believe they really need to beef up the RL and sell it around mid $50's. Toyota/Lexus ruined the Camry/ES 300 with the design, the things are so ugly. I would take an acura any day over lexus....look for the 2004 TL to impress all your neighbors!
billyperks Posts: 449
akal50 Posts: 112If I had to get a TL, I'd get it in white. Not only is it the best color for summer, it also ages well. Dings, chips, scratches aren't very noticeable. And you can wash it, get spots or streaks, and no one sees em. Some cars look awful in white, but the TL looks pretty good in almost any color, except the gold. It looks best in black, but the problem is in a few years, it starts to look old, especially if you live in harsher climates.
notbrockyates Posts: 19This is a new-to-us '99 TL. There are gray streaks on the tires coming off the wheels in several places. Like a line drawn from the rim to the edge of the tire, radiating from the center. I don't know if it's related to brake dust residue or what. Anybody know what this is? Devil of a time getting it off the tires, too.
bodble2 Posts: 4,519One would think that given that a lot of the TL's competition (Passat, S60, G35, MB C-Class, A4/A6, 3-series) offer or will offer AWD, Honda has to consider it for the TL. But with Honda, who knows? They always seem to be a few years behind the competition when it comes to introducing new features/trends.
scott31 Posts: 281The Nav requires NO subscription. You own it, use it whenever you want.
There are DVD updates but they are few and far between. Rumor has it there will be a big update this fall, but I'll believe it when I see it.
As for brakes, I consider myself a hard braker, and I've got 12,000 miles on my '03 Type S, no problems so far. -
josephacura Posts: 11Merc and Bodble, you bolth bring up great points with the AWD concern. One would think Honda/Acura would consider this.......as I'm positive the car will be more powerful than the 260 2003, TL Type S. I do disagree with Honda being a few years behind the new introductions. I believe the next TL will blow all the competitors away......remember when the Type S, CL and TL came out, it had the most power of all it's (same price range) competitors.......the others became more powerful as they release their newer models earlier in the year (i.e. Nissan)......do you all agree that Acura should make major improvements to the RL..great car, but for top end luxury, it's just a bigger Accord with lots of bells/whistles. I think in 2005 they are redesigning it. I love the '99-2003 TL style, but the '96-98 3.2 TL, had a very impressive front, especially the '98....they made the bottom, front look more agressive. Can you tell I'm an Acura fan?
rls11741 Posts: 2Does anyone know, for sure, if Acura is going to introduce a new TL Type S? I have a 02 Type S and I'm going to trade it in for a 04 TL. However, I can wait 1 more year for a TL Type S if I know for sure that it is coming. My dealer says that he has not heard anything about a Type S at all. Robin 125, do you know for sure about a Type S?
Thanks! -
varmint Posts: 6,326Normally, I'd expect them not to release a TL-S until the initial hype wears off. Maybe 2-3 years after the full model change. This also allows them to keep pace with newer designs that come to market. However, with the cancellation of the CL, they might feel the need to get sporty right up front.
lenscap Posts: 854Micro scratches, swirls, dents and chips showing has nothing to do with Honda paint being "bad." That applies to all dark colors, regardless of what kind of car. I know of fairly new Lexus, BMW and Mercedes models that have the same problem. It's simple - dark colors show more wear and tear.
billyperks Posts: 449You are absolutely correct- my own Auto Body guy told me this years ago.He told me specifically to go with the lighter colors, they age and hide dings and dents better.
That's why I am a Pearl White type of guy, my Millenia was and now the Acura is playing that role.
josephacura Posts: 11RLS......that is great you have a '02 TL Type S.....my guess is that it will be coming out in 2005, certainly not 2004. I've always heard it's best to wait till the second year of production to purchase a newly designed car, they usually make some changes to fix any issues with the production of the first year. I would think the Type S will have several differences as opposed to just the few (mainly hp and suspension) in the ones out now. I say hang on to the '02 for another year. The 2005 will be very impressive.
merc1 Posts: 6,081Yes, yes, yes...the RL is the car Acura needed to replace for 04, not the TL. Everyone that likes cars wants to see a rwd model with a V8 in addition to the V6, but Honda has all but said no to V8s and rwd. So the current speculation is some type of awd V6 with hybrid tech for 300-400hp. The next RL is probably the best kept secret in the business.
I do hope that if Acura does increase hp on the TL (270 or more) that awd will be part of the program. That kind of hp is simply too much on the front wheels. Cadillac spent 10+ years trying to perfect it only having to switch back rwd.
billyperks Posts: 449
dulnev Posts: 652I wanted to share my feelings about the initial quality of my 2003 TL-S. "Initial" here does not refer to the day I got it fromt the dealer, but the period of the first 5,000 miles. Why 5,000 miles you ask? It's purely arbitrary.
I bought my TL-S on January 2nd of this year and have crossed 5,000 miles last week. I am comparing this car to my previous car: a 2000 3.2TL. The 2000 TL was well known for a variety of little problems that would develop around the first 1,300-1,800 miles: creaks, squeaks and rattles (this is based on numerous reports in Acura discussion boards). While not major problems, these issues can dramatically dampen one's satisfaction with their new car. My car developed 3 of these problems, two of which were never fixed.
Now enter the 2003 TL-S. The car is still ROCK-SOLID after the first 5,000 miles. Not a squeak, creak or rattle from anywhere. This is very encouraging, especially given the relatively terrible road conditions in the DC area this winter/spring. The tremendous record-setting amount of snow and rain that has been dumped on this region in the last 6 months has created an unusually high number of potholes and other problems. I've hit a number of potholes in the last 6 months, some very hard. Yet, the car has held up beautifully.
What this tells me is that in the last 3-4 years since the introduction of the current model of TL, Acura has done a great job in debugging the car.
What has your experience with recently made 2003's been like? -
billyperks Posts: 449Dulnev we purchased our car around the same time and our mileage is exactly the same- I just passed the 5000 mark.
As far as quality, I have two problems already-
The sunroof rattles, dealer took care of this in no time.
The second problem - the plastic covering by the seat belt adjuster is stripping off.I showed my service manager and he bluntly stated that their not going to fix that because it is my fault the plastic is stripping off.
He claims that whenever I unbuckle my seat belt I allow the metal to hit the plastic hence the stripping occurs.
I told him is comments are out right absurd. The plastic in my wife's Camry is not stripping, the plastic in my Millenia did not strip so why a $30,000.00 car plastic is striping.
To cut a long story short I took the car to another dealership and they fixed it without a whisper.
I am going to call Acura and file a complaint against this Dealership, also the owner of the Dealership is going to hear about this. -
lenscap Posts: 854Recently I attended a Saturday SUV event hsoted by Lexus. They had most of the current luxury SUVs available for test drive. I bring this up because the MDX had the same problem you mentioned on your TL. The plastic covering in the b-pillar that hides the seat belt was all nicked and chipped from the seat belt hitting it when released. This must be a design flaw because none of the other SUVs had this, yet people were constantly unbuckling those seat belts too.
Acura needs to revise that plastic so it is more durable. -
billyperks Posts: 449Good thing you brought that up.
At the time when I was presenting my case to the service manager, he took me in service area and showed me a MDX with the B pillar plastic torn up so badly because of the constant hitting from the seat belt buckle.So I further stated that it is a manufacturing fault but he insisted that it is the owners fault and we should be more careful when unbuckling.What a joke.
All I know is that dealership in Grrenwich ain't getting my business again.The wife is considering a new car and I told her to add the TSX to her list- guess which Acura dealership is not on our list?
The dealership that fixed the problem was selling me the car for $800.00 over invoice, the problem dealer gave it to me for $200 over.
Now all my business goes back to the dealer I did not buy the car from.
Is anyone else having the same problem? -

Last year before the season I repeatedly said I expect UF to be in every game with a chance to win. Even after the BG game when everybody was panicking I held firm to my thoughts on the team. I expected the D to be great and the offense to struggle, but do just enough to compete. It is my belief that these next two years UF has a good chance to win a national championship. 2013 The 2013 Gator defense should be the best in the nation. The one area that worries me is LB's in coverage, but going to Dime on some passing downs should help. The pass rush should be outstanding with Easley Powell Bullard and Fowler. And yet again UF should have the best secondary in the nation. On offense I am confident in the Oline RB (If Matt Jones is back) and QB position. A lot of people worry about Jeff's progression, but I was impressed with where he was when I went back and looked at the tape. I expect him to continue to progress. The one question mark on offense is the WR core. TBH it really boils down to one player IMO. Is Demarcus Robinson ready to be a number 1 WR in the SEC by October 12th? He can be the number two or even three guy early in the season but by October 12th he needs to be ready to take over football games. The team has the ability to win the National Championship this year. 2014 In 2014 UF should have the best team in the nation. Defense – UF should expect to lose Purifoy Roberson Watkins Easley & Jacobs Powell. While that seems like a lot of talent there will be very capable replacements in VH3, Poole, Washington, Bostwick Brantley and McMillan or Rolin. UF returns Fowler & Bullard and both starting safeties. I again expect this to be the best unit in the country. 2014 is where those people that have been crying about the offense not scoring points shut their mouth and jump on board. QB- you will have a multiyear starter in Jeff Driskel, who will be on the best QB's in the nation and WR- The outside WR's of Demarcus Robinson, Quinton Dunbar, Ahman Fulwood and Ermon Lane are going to give teams all kinds of trouble. The staff will need to find players to replace Solomon Patton and Trey Burton on the inside which might be harder than most think. Between Cook Bailey Pittman Thompson we should be able to find enough production at those positions, especially since the outside WR's are going to be so productive. OL- A veteran center and guard will need to be replace, but UF will have plenty of experience players inside to fill the void. Watch out for Cameron Dillard too. I thought he was a much better player out of high school than most were giving him credit for. On other note UGA Bama and LSU will all be breaking in new QB's. The biggest wild card for both years is the kicking game. Austin Hardin needs to step up
One area you forgot was the schedule. Brutal THIS year and troublesome next. In 2014, we would have to beat both Bama and the poodles. Not sure I see Driskel outworking the Bama D away from home.
I dont worry about schedule like others do. If your team is that good they will find a way to win football games as long as there are not hard games back to back. We are going to be better than both Bama and UGA so I expect us to win the games. Jeff is fine and it is a team game
This year will need an extra special effort because we play some tough road games. Next year will be our year depending on how many guys we get to come back on defense.
I second ThePlayer's schedule issue. Other than that 2014 looks really good.... But let's not get ahead of ourselves until we see if we have any semblance of an offense (or playmakers for that matter) in 2013....
Takes some luck, and health and the right team chemistry, but I agree completely. I think we have a team that can win the championship this year, and will have another one next year. We'll be in the mix.
...and laid an egg in New Orleans the size of the Superdome against a team we were favored by 14 points.
But we still went 11-1 with one of the worse passing attacks I've ever seen! They simply did not show up and got embarrassed in the sugar bowl.
dont know what the sugar bowl has to do with this discussion but if you want to harp on that ok I guess but dont really think it fits the thread
I really pray I'm wrong, Gatorbait. But it feels like our QB is just killing time before his baseball career starts. And I'm counting down the moment until Will Grier takes over the reigns.
You do realize a Driskel his Sr year is going to be better than Grier is redshirt freshmen year? You are basically not expecting UF to compete for titles until 2016
You seem like the kind of guy who would look into the eyes of this beauty below, and all you could see is someone who recently took a dump, or is about to take a dump. There's a lot of good stuff out there when you don't search for the negative in things.
I do worry about our interior against the run, our dt's have to pan out, really wish we got jaren in...
We should have some time to shake things out... probably not until LSU before we really get tested there.
True, and if you told me we would have a Top 35 Offense this year and next I'd lay money down on us winning at least 1 title, but until we see it on the field its hard to believe, last years formula wasn't sustainable, eventually the breaks catch up to you- no offense or defense is perfect and turnovers almost always regress to the mean both positively and negatively.
Not so much this year though I think we will be very good. Just look at what we will have coming back in 2014 though....Humphries, Garcia, Moore, Green, Trenton Brown on the OL, Driskel, Dunbar, Robinson at WR, Jones, Taylor, Lane at Tailback. On Defense Fowler and Bullard will be Juniors, Hargreaves will be a sophomore. Morrison will be a Junior, Bostwick and Brantley will be veterans, Orr will be a Senior, all those Freshman Linebackers this year will be Sophomores with experience etc. I think we have an excellent shot at an MNC in 2014.
It will take luck, we had a bunch of it last year.. Defensive tackle, that's the ticket. We need a few guys to have taken big steps

zuzu commented on the blog post Michelle Obama Was Not Born A Poor Black Child
Let's see, she attended a public high school, a magnet school she qualified for by hard work. He attended a private high school on a scholarship.
They both both got through first-tier colleges on financial aid and student loans, and the same for the first-tier law school at which they excelled.
Uhm, wasn't her entire point that they were able to succeed through a combination of their and their families' hard work, and programs that gave them the opportunity to succeed?

definitely one of my favorite UD eyeshadows! it complements my dark brown eyes and NC25 Asian skintone. it's very versatile: can be worn sheer for a natural look or applied heavier for a smokey eye.
I have this color in a palette- I have been hesitating to buy UD because of the glitter, but this palette had at least 3 glitter-free shades that I thought would be good, and Smog was one. I am usually a very neutral eyeshadow person- hardly looks like I"m wearing it kind of girl, but I wore this and wow, it looked great! I have brown eyes/hair, and just wore it all over my eyelid. It looks great! It was so blendable! when this runs out in the palette, I'll definitely buy it in a single. It will look good in my crease too, it's so versitile and a great color.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this eyeshadow! I love the shade, the texture, the wear, the uniqueness of it. In the store it looked greenish and a little sickly, but against my neutral skin and on my olive green eyes it's perfection, a brownish-burnished gold that is what I wanted Mac's Woodwinked to be. Where Woodwinked is overly warm and orange tinged, Smog is neutral, like rare green gold.
It can be worn in many ways, as a lid or crease shade or even as a liner. I like it as an all over shadow shade with something a bit deeper to pronounce the crease and line the eyes, like UD Twice Baked, MAC Mulch or Mystery, Smashbox Sienna or Lise Watier Chocolat.
The texture is shimmery, but not metallic. It does not highlight my lines like some lighter shimmery shades do by other brands. I love working with UD. I actually think it's blendibility shortens my morning routine!
If only they had more practical shades, wearable colours. They seem hell bent on promoting metallics and bright jewel tones, shades fit for the younger generation. It's too bad because the shades I have found to wear, I adore, but they are only three. Two of them I will repurchase, one was wishful thinking. Smog is a definite winner for me!
10 out of 10 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Smog is a rich suede brown w/ a beautiful sheen to it. No glitter. Wonderful for a dramatic smokey eye. Lasts all day w/ UDPP.
Love this color. It's a great everyday look for me paired with sin or sellout it makes for an easy smoky eye. I used to be a big fan of MAC's mulch...but this color is much better IMO. It's a true brown on me where mulch ended up looking almost purple.
Absolutely LOVE this eyeshadow. I always wear it by itself because it makes my eyes pop and really stand out. I have like hazel/goldish eyes and using this color alone makes it look awesome. I would seriously recommend this to anybody. It's a great earthy brown color and really would make any eye color look beautiful. Buy this color!!!
Wonderful color payoff. Wonderfully velvety texture. I'd highly recommend this to anyone with neutral or warm coloring. I am only giving this a 4, however, because this brown is too warm for my pink-toned skin and it's hard for me to pull off. I like Stray Dog much better for my coloring, and Smog came in the Urban Ammo palette, but I would not purchase it separately personally. If the color suits you, however, it is a great buy.
This color is really great. The pigment is bold in a good way, and it stays put with UDPP underneath it. I like it because browns make my blue eyes pop nicely, and it doesn't have the amount of glitter other colors of this brand have. It is slightly metallic, which makes it look less bland and more fun than a matte color.

McMINNVILLE, Ore. – Pacific Lutheran rode a 25-6 run that spanned both halves to pull away from Linfield and remain undefeated in Northwest Conference men's basketball action with a 76-68 victory Saturday night at Ted Wilson Gymnasium.
The Lutes (4-2, 2-0 NWC) blew open what had been a close game, which featured five ties and 12 lead changes over the first 11 minutes. With the score knotted at 27-27, Zachary Klein hit a jumper with 8:52 remaining in the opening period. His bucket sparked the decisive run, which lasted 12 ½ minutes.
Up to that point, the teams had played relatively even.
Andrew Batiuk
(Jr., Lake Oswego, Ore.) started out strong for the Wildcats (1-5, 0-2 NWC) in his first game back from injury, scoring 10 points in the opening 6:14. But he was held in check the rest of the game, scoring just two more baskets, one in each half.
He was not the only player to struggle offensively. Despite shooting relatively well for the game (47.3 percent) Linfield suffered through a key four-minute scoreless stretch about 2/3 of the way through the first half, which helped the Lutes climb to their big lead. Zach Meikle finally broke the dry spell with a 3-point basket from the top of the arc. That trimmed PLU's lead to five points, the smallest it would be the rest of the night.
By halftime, the Lutes had widened the scoring gap to 15 points, leading 48-33.
PLU opened the second half with a 4-0 run to earn a 19-point advantage, the biggest of the game, over the Wildcats. A jumper by Zach Anderson at the 16:13 mark gave the 'Cats their first points of the second half and sparked a 15-5 run that got the home team to within 10 points. But PLU got a basket by Arvid Isaksen and a pair of free throws to push the lead back to 14 points.
The Lutes used the clock to their advantage in the second period, grinding out the half-court offense. Linfield actually outscored Pacific Lutheran 35-28 in the final period, but the deficit was too large to overcome.
The 'Cats did not trim the lead to single digits until a 3-pointer by Matt Kalbfleisch with 19 seconds remaining in the game.
Four of five starters scored in doubles figures for the Lutes. Andrew Earnest tied for game-high honors with 17 points on 6-of-10 shooting, including a 3-of-5 effort from beyond the arc. James Conti added 14 points and eight rebounds, Kai Hoyt contributed 12 points and Cameron Schilling had 10 points.
Anderson, the conference's leading scorer entering tonight's matchup at 24.4 points per game, was held to 17 on 5-of-14 shooting. Batiuk finished with 12 points and Dakotah Pine added seven for the Wildcats, who have now lost four straight contests.
AHEAD: The 'Cats host Mulnomah Bible for a nonconference matchup Monday evening beginning at 8 p.m. Then Linfield hits the road for four consecutive home games to close out the calendar year, beginning with a trip to Eastern Washington and concluding with a contest at Northwest Christian Dec. 28.

'Deal' with separatists: Zambian president
Comment on this storyZambia's President Michael Sata on Friday told the military to "deal" with a separatist movement in the nation's Western Province.
"Go and deal with this clique of people that is recruiting former soldiers and wildlife officers into their army," Sata told a group of graduating army officers in the capital Lusaka.
Sata said a group of mainly ethnic Lozi had recruited around 630 fighters into its ranks, after declaring plans to create a state called Barotseland in March.
The poor west of the country has long been racked by political tumult.
In January last year, police broke up a secessionist meeting, igniting riots that left two people dead in the town of Mongu.
That incident rekindled the secessionist fire, which had been dampened since the 1990s.
Under an agreement signed with independent Zambia's first president, Kenneth Kaunda, the region was supposed to have limited self-rule, but the Lozi say that agreement was never respected. - Sapa-AFP

What is EBS ?
SharePoint uses SQL Server for storing BLOBs but the database is not optimized for handling BLOB read requests efficiently and it can not query the BLOBs very well either. The operations to read or query data from SQL Server impair data streaming performance dramatically.
EBS on the other hand is better alternative for storing BLOBs. It lets you store and retrieve BLOBs with lesser cost as compared to database. EBS in SharePoint allows the file contents to be stored in an external file system (local server, NAS or Azure/Amazon storage) and file metadata in a content database. This is more efficient way for storing BLOBs and it also helps query the BLOBs faster.
StorageEdge gives you the implementation of EBS with SharePoint and provides caching solution for faster storage and retrieval of BLOBs. When you plug-in the EBS, it becomes the main data source for SharePoint. With EBS implementation, the BLOB content will be read from EBS and the file meta data will be read from content database. When a user requests a document from SharePoint, StorageEdge will first look for it in cache but if it is not found in there, it will find it in the EBS and place it in the cache for future references.

Yeah - that could be something to do. Still not sure - I was going to sleep on it, but even though the first coffee has kicked in, I'm still umming and ahhing.
I could also use them to list some of the "mystery women" - eg the Dransfields - who are still driving me crazy. I could list my suspicions (eg that there are three sisters - Nellie, Mary and Margaret - and that Margaret might well have been known as Peggy - the 'P Dransfield' that you sometimes see) and perhaps others might be able to add their own info/thoughts to (hopefully) help work out who's who.
Though (at this moment) I reckon I might just include them in the general A-Z with a 'work in progress' type text box listing any assumptions/discussion points. Let me know what you think.
Yesterday I was mulling the idea of making this thread an 'A-Z of Australian Tennis History' including tournament notes/honour rolls, facts about the development of the game downunder etc. Then I figured even the A-Z of players was ambitious enough for a start. I think I may eventually do a 'History' thread but I'll think about it a bit more first.
Anyway - time for more coffee!

For years, the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) initiative drew major headlines even as promises made by the initiative's organizers were routinely missed. The original idea behind OLPC was to create $100 computers that could arrive in the hands of poor kids all around the world. Too bad that $100 price point was never achieved, and other problems arose.
The OLPC platform has stayed around, though, and now One Laptop Per Child Australia has received $11.

Dead Ringer Movie Review
Dead Ringer is a classic good twin/bad twin murder mystery and identity swap that will keep you on your toes. Davis, directed her by her Now, Voyager co-star Paul Henreid, plays the twins: Edie Phillips, the down-on-her-luck twin who runs a seedy bar in downtown L.A., and Margaret Phillips DeLorca, the just-widowed wife of an outrageously rich Spanish nobleman who lives in an enormous mansion decorated to look like a 17th-century Andalusian monastery. It's ookey and it's spooky.
When Edie finds out that Margaret stole DeLorca away from her with a false pregnancy scare in order to grab Mr. Moneybags for herself, she decides to pull the ultimate scam, luring Margaret down to the bar, killing her, puttting on her fancy clothes, and returning to the mansion in her limo. Edie is now Margaret. She may not have her man back, but she's got his real estate, not to mention the family jewels.
But can she pull it off? She'll have to fool plenty of people, including the eagle-eyed butler, the household's suspicious Great Dane, and the detective investigating "Edie's" death (Karl Malden). Big twist: the detective was also Edie's fiancé, so he's got a vested interest in finding out who did her in.
Another big twist: it turns out that Margaret has a gigolo/boyfriend, the slippery Tony Collins (Peter Lawford). How the heck will Edie/Margaret be able to keep up this charade with him? Turns out she can't, and the ensuing blackmail and double-crossing as the detective circles in closer and closer are plotted out with great elan.
Davis had actually played twins once before in 1946's A Stolen Life, and she must have enjoyed it enough to give it a second go. In fact, you can see the amusement in her eyes as she camps it up in the crucial scene in which the two sisters have their final confrontation. It's a must-see moment for any Davis fan and is probably performed to this day by better Bette Davis impersonators everywhere. Add the Addams Family-ish harpsichord soundtrack courtesy of Andre Previn, and you're all set. Ookey and spooky indeed.
Some good archival material can be found on the DVD, including a vintage featurette, along with retrospective commentary and an interview by Davis biographer Boze Hadleigh.
