Building Skills
New York State Bird - Eastern Bluebird
Source of Photograph.....
With more than 800 species of birds in the U.S. and Canada, it's easy for a beginning bird watcher to feel overwhelmed by possibilities. Field guides seem crammed with similar-looking birds arranged in seemingly haphazard order. We can help you figure out where to begin.
Please stay tuned for the next installment.....
First off: where not to start. Many ID tips focus on very specific details of plumage called field marks - the eyering of a Ruby-crowned Kinglet; the double breast band of a Killdeer. While these tips are useful, they assume you've already narrowed down your search to just a few similar species.
So start by learning to quickly recognize what group a mystery bird belongs to. You do this in two ways: by becoming familiar with the general shape, color, and behavior of birds, and by keeping a running tally in your head of what kinds of birds are most likely to be seen in your location and time of year.
Of course you'll need to look at field marks – a wingbar here, an eyering there – to clinch some IDs. But these four keys will quickly get you to the right group of species, so you'll know exactly which field marks to look for.
Put the four keys into practice
Bird watchers can identify many species from just a quick look. They're using the four keys to visual identification, rather than taking the bird apart into field marks.
Birds are built for what they do.
Every part of the bird you're looking at is a clue to what it is.
The combination of size and shape is one of the most powerful tools to identification. Though you may be drawn to watching birds because of their wonderful colors or fascinating behavior, when it comes to making identifications, size and shape are the first pieces of information you should examine.
With just a little practice and observation, you'll find that differences in size and shape will jump out at you. The first steps are to learn typical bird silhouettes, find reliable ways to gauge the size of a bird, and notice differences in telltale parts of a bird such as the bill, wings, and tail.
Soon, you'll know the difference between Red-winged Blackbirds and European Starlings while they're still in flight, and be able to identify a Red-tailed Hawk or Turkey Vulture without taking your eyes off the road.
Often you don't need to see any color at all to know what kind of bird you're looking at. Silhouettes quickly tell you a bird's size, proportions, and posture, and quickly rule out many groups of birds – even ones of nearly identical overall size. Practice the silhouettes in the carousel at right.
Beginning bird watchers often get sidetracked by a bird's bright colors, only to be frustrated when they search through their field guide. Finches, for example, can be red, yellow, blue, brown, or green – but they're always shaped like finches. Learn silhouettes, and you'll always be close to an ID.
Size is trickier to judge than shape. You never know how far away a bird is or how big that nearby rock or tree limb really is. Throw in fluffed-up or hunkered-down birds and it's easy to get fooled. But with a few tricks, you can still use size as an ID key.
For instance, if you're looking at a gull you don't recognize, it's a start to notice that it's larger than a more familiar bird, such as a Ring-billed Gull, that's standing right next to it. For some groups of birds, including shorebirds, seabirds, and waterfowl, using a known bird as a ruler is a crucial identification technique.
Stand Out in a Crowd
Use size and shape to find the full range of species hiding in a large flock. Amid all these orange-billed Royal Terns are a handful of much smaller Sandwich Terns. If you keep looking, you'll also notice a giant Herring Gull in the background, as well as several smaller Laughing Gulls to the right and behind it.
Line Up the Usual Suspects
A mixed group of gulls can be a real advantage when you're making identifications. Here, the enormous Great Black-backed Gulls make the few Herring Gulls behind them seem almost dainty. You almost don't even notice the rarity, a tiny Black-headed Gull from Europe, down in the front row.
Size and Shape in Flight
Size and shape can be very useful for birds in flight, even for large, unruly flocks. Grackles, blackbirds, cowbirds, and starlings often flock together, but you can learn to tell them apart quickly. In this photo, look for short-tailed, sharp-winged European Starlings among the large, long-tailed Common Grackles.

After you've taken note of a bird's overall size and shape, there's still plenty of room to hone your identification. Turn your attention to the size and shape of individual body parts. Here you'll find clues to how the bird lives its life: what it eats, how it flies, and where it lives.
Start with the bill – that all-purpose tool that functions as a bird's hands, pliers, knitting needles, knife-and-fork, and bullhorn. A flycatcher's broad, flat, bug-snatching bill looks very different from the thick, conical nut-smasher of a finch. Notice the slightly downcurved bills of the Northern Flickers in your backyard. That's an unusual shape for a woodpecker's bill, but perfect for a bird that digs into the ground after ants, as flickers often do.
Noticing details like these can help you avoid classic identification mistakes. An Ovenbird is a common eastern warbler that has tricked many a bird watcher into thinking it's a thrush. The field marks are certainly thrush-like: warm brown above, strongly streaked below; even a crisp white eyering. But look at overall shape and size rather than field marks, and you'll see the body plan of a warbler: plump, compact body, short tail and wings, thin, pointed, insect-grabbing bill.
This is the most powerful way to use a bird's size for identification. It's hard to judge a lone bird's size, and an unusual posture can make shape hard to interpret. But you can always measure key body parts – wings, bill, tail, legs – against the bird itself.
Look for details like how long the bird's bill is relative to the head – a great way to tell apart Downy and Hairy woodpeckers as well as Greater and Lesser yellowlegs, but useful with other confusing species, too. Judging how big the head is compared to the rest of the body helps with separating Cooper's Hawks from Sharp-shinned Hawks in flight.
Get in the habit of using the bird itself as a ruler, and you'll be amazed at how much information you can glean from each view. Good places to start include noting how long the legs are; how long the neck is; how far the tail extends past the body; and how far the primary feathers of the wing end along the tail (or past the tail).
Imagine a walk through a western forest, for example: A small, bright-yellow bird flits into the understory. Yellow immediately suggests a warbler (or the larger Western Tanager). Did you pick up a hint of grayness to the head? Or perhaps some glossy black? Just noticing that much can put you on track to identifying either a MacGillivray's Warbler or a Wilson's Warbler.
Some birds have very fine differences that take practice even to see at all. But don't start looking for those details until you've used overall patterns to let the bird remind you what it is. Read on for a few tips about noticing patches of light and dark, the boldness of a bird's markings, and making the most of outrageous colors.
When you're trying to make an ID, focus on overall color pattern instead of matching every detail to the pictures in your field guide. Remember that birds molt and their feathers wear. Their appearance can vary if the bird is old or young, or by how well it had been eating last time it molted. And of course, the light the bird is sitting in can have a huge effect on the colors you see.
At a distance and in very quick sightings, colors fade and all that's left are light and dark. It helps to familiarize yourself with common patterns. For example, American White Pelicans are large white birds with black trailing edges to their wings. Snow Geese are similarly shaped and colored, but the black in their wings is confined to the wingtips.
Ring-necked Ducks and scaup are dark ducks with a pale patch on the side; Northern Shovelers are the opposite: light-bodied ducks with a dark patch on the side. Many birds are dark above and pale below – a widespread pattern in the animal world that helps avoid notice by predators. By reversing this pattern, male Bobolinks, with their dark underparts and light backs, look conspicuous even from all the way across a field.
Other birds seem to be trying to call attention to themselves by wearing bright patches of color in prominent places. Male Red-winged Blackbirds use their vivid shoulder patches to intimidate their rivals (notice how they cover up the patches when sneaking around off their territory). American Redstarts flick bright orange patches in their wings and tail, perhaps to scare insects out of their hiding places.
Many birds, including Dark-eyed Juncos, Spotted and Eastern towhees, American Robins, and several hummingbirds, flash white in the tail when they fly, possibly as a way of confusing predators. White flashes in the wings are common, too: look for them in Northern Mockingbirds, Acorn, Golden-fronted, and Red-bellied woodpeckers, Common and Lesser nighthawks, and Phainopeplas.
Auks at Sea
It's hard to see details on tiny birds bobbing on the open ocean. But again, the pattern of light and dark may be all you need. Black Guillemots are dark with big white wing patches. Atlantic Puffins have bright faces, whereas Razorbills have all-dark heads. The tiny Ancient Murrelet has a broad white stripe along its neck and a white-tipped bill.

Bold and Faint
There are some confusing bird species that sit side by side in your field guide, wearing what seems like the exact same markings and defying you to identify them. Experienced birders can find clues to these tricky identifications by noticing how boldly or finely patterned their bird is. These differences can take a trained eye to detect, but the good news is that there's a great trial case right outside at your backyard feeder.
House Finches are common backyard birds across most of North America. Much of the continent also gets visits from the very similar Purple Finch. Males of the two species are red on the head and chest and brown and streaky elsewhere. The females are both brown and streaky. So how do you tell them apart? Look at how strongly they're marked.
Male House Finches tend to be boldly streaked down the flanks, whereas male Purple Finches are much paler and more diffusely streaked. Even the red is more distinct, and more confined to the head and breast, in a male House Finch. Male Purple Finches look washed all over, even on the back, in a paler raspberry red.
The all-brown females of these two species are an even better way to build your skills. The streaks on female House Finches are indistinct, brown on brown, with little actual white showing through. If a female Purple Finch lands next to it, she'll stand out with crisply defined brown streaks against a white background, particularly on the head.
These are some of the gratuitous pleasures of being a bird watcher: a blazing-orange male oriole; a scarlet cardinal or tanager; a Mountain Bluebird as pale as a winter sky. All-out assaults on your eyes like the Painted Bunting and Green Jay, or a Gulf Coast oak tree dripping with spring warblers.
Because so much of a bird's identity is evident in how it acts, behavior can lead you to an ID in the blink of an eye, in bad light, or from a quarter-mile away. Before you even pick up your binoculars, notice how your bird is sitting, how it's feeding or moving, whether it's in a flock, and if it has any nervous habits like flicking its wings or bobbing its tail.
And remember that to get good at recognizing birds by their behavior, you must spend time watching them. It's tempting to put down your binoculars and grab your field guide as soon as you see a field mark. Or, after identifying a common bird, you might feel rushed to move on and find something more unusual. Resist these urges. Relax, and watch the bird for as long as it will let you. This is how you become used to the way a bird acts, how you discover it doing something new – and let's face it, it's probably why you went out bird watching in the first place.
The most basic aspect of behavior is posture, or how a bird presents itself. You can learn to distinguish many similarly proportioned birds just from the poses they assume. It's a skill that includes recognizing a bird's size and shape, and adds in the impression of the bird's habits and attitude.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Time to turf the lawn?
It's not often grass makes headlines, but it did this summer when a resident challenged the city's demands he mow the boulevard alongside his house, arguing such forced labour is a violation of his rights as laid out in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Likely, many Winnipeggers similarly do not love having to look after their lawns and boulevards, but these green spaces have become such a central part of the urban landscape that most people simply go about this task without giving it much thought.
The dominance of the lawn is a fairly recent development. Up until the late 19th century, close-cut lawns were the exclusive domain of wealthy estates in Europe and North America. Rich landowners could afford the help required to maintain such greenery, and they had the luxury of dedicating their tract of land to something as frivolous as a non-food crop.
In the 1900s, however, suburban planners began to splice up the North American landscape into quarter-acre plots that were affordable to the middle class. Lawns then took off on this continent after the Second World War, in line with the dream of home ownership and the advent of gasoline-powered mowers and effective herbicides and pesticides. Everyone could enjoy a mini estate of sorts, with the home set off grandly from the road by a boulevard and lawn. By the 21st century, lawns had undeniably become the norm, with almost three quarters of Canadian households having such a sea of green between their home and the street.
Today, homeowners spend an average of 25 hours per year looking after their yard, and while the end result may look nice, it is a decidedly expensive and environmentally unfriendly endeavour. Canadian spending on lawn care has skyrocketed in the past few decades, to around $3 billion per year. Meanwhile, lawns receive more pesticides, on average, than any other crop, and these chemicals end up in lakes and streams, creating algae blooms that kill aquatic wildlife. In fact, nearly half of all households in Winnipeg use pesticides according to Statistics Canada -- the highest proportion in the country.
Finally, North Americans consume a whopping 30 billion litres of water on their landscapes each day, most of which is fresh and potable, and burn three billion litres of gasoline in their lawn mowers every year. As a result, gas-powered lawn and garden tools account for five per cent of total air pollution on this continent.
And for what? While citizens make good use of their backyards and front porches and stoops to play, eat, and socialize, they are most often conspicuously absent from their front lawn and boulevard. Yet across North America, municipalities have mandated setback requirements that force developers to provide large lawns whether citizens want them or not. In Winnipeg, for example, the minimum is 18 feet. As a result, homeowners are forced to spend a huge amount of time, money, and resources looking after land that is, effectively, an ornament.
Perhaps it is time to update requirements so new communities are not required to have substantial lawns. It might be difficult to envision a neighbourhood without large front yards, but development in these neighbourhoods could be more like Europe, where suburbs built since the 1950s have eschewed purely decorative lawns. Taking a walk in suburban Paris or Rome, for instance, one finds small setbacks that have been converted to functional patios ornamented by attractive planters. Spacious yards lie at the back of the house, often with private gardens. For people who want privacy, hedges or fences could be put up in front of the sidewalk.
Of course, this is not to suggest lawns or other green spaces would be outlawed. In fact, the average yard size owned by lawn-lovers might even increase if homeowners who were more indifferent to outdoor space were not occupying so much of it. Meanwhile, there could be a greater emphasis on public parks where children and adults could play outdoors.
Without lawns, people could live in larger houses, or developers could build more homes on the same patch of land. This latter option would make housing more affordable, and reduce sprawl. With more people living in a given area, it would also mean more taxpayers would be paying for fewer roads, sewer pipes, and other services -- which would go a long way in helping to alleviate Winnipeg's massive infrastructure deficit.
Given the challenges of affordability and sustainability, not to mention the hassle of their care, it is worthwhile to consider whether large conventional lawns need to be a mandatory part of future urban development. Because while most Winnipeggers would likely be unwilling to go to court to fight a requirement to cut the lawn, they might nevertheless be in agreement that it is time to turf some of that grass.

Ladies (and gentlemen), take note: Rafael Nadal will not spurn your advances, no matter how bold they may be.
Last night, after the six-time Grand Slam champ defeated Gael Monfils in a thrilling four-setter at the U.S. Open, a man rushed the court to give Nadal a hug and a kiss. Before security could react, the fan hugged the unsuspecting, shirtless Nadal before being dragged away.
Initially surprised, Nadal had a broad smile on his face during the brief encounter. When security personnel began to lead the man into custody, Nadal initially tried to stop them saying "it's OK" as the man was blowing kisses and making "you're No. 1" motions with his hands.
Ever cool, Nadal went immediately back to packing his tennis bag before standing for a post-match interview. Afterward he said of the incident:
"For me, it wasn't a problem. The guy was really nice. He said, 'I love you,' and he kissed me."
(Watch the video of the press conference here. Rafa's remarks about the fan come near the 3:30 mark.)
The security guard in the picture reacted as soon as the intruder jumped over the wall, but she wasn't able to get to him before he reached Nadal.
The incident was similar to one in the French Open final when a men dressed in Swiss colors and holding the flag of the Barcelona soccer team stormed the court to try and put a hat on Roger Federer. What we wrote at the time holds true today:
In the same way that banning bottles of water on airplanes after 9/11 didn't make air travel any safer, stationing an extra guy in a yellow shirt behind the line judge didn't protect tennis players all that much more. Streakers still pop up during Wimbledon matches, after all.
If a spectator wants to get on the court, no amount of security is going to stop that person. Unless tennis wants to go the soccer route and put up fences and moats to keep fans away, dealing with idiots running on the court is going to be an occupational hazard. Hopefully, the worst thing they'll try to do is put on a hat on Roger Federer.
Or, in this case, steal a kiss from Rafa Nadal.
Update: The man who stormed the court will be charged with tresspassing and faces possible jail time if convicted. Noam Aorta, 23, could get one year in prison and a $5,000 for rushing the court.
District Attorney Richard Brown said the fact that Aorta made contact with Nadal was "particularly disturbing". As we all know from the Plaxico Burress case, New York DAs mean business. I shudder to think at how much jail time Aorta would be facing if he had only hugged himself.

Why I can't stop talking about the war
Tragedies in his own family have given Peter Salmon, Controller of BBC1, a personal mission to make sure the public never forgets the horrors of conflict. Here, he describes his feelings of guilt
Tuesday 09 November 1999
Anyone who has grown up in this war-torn century has been touched at some time by loss and sadness. Whether it was Gallipoli in the First World War or the Battle of Britain in the Second, whether it was fighting wars or keeping peace, this country's military campaigns have shaped our lives and scarred our collective consciousness.
Anyone who has grown up in this war-torn century has been touched at some time by loss and sadness. Whether it was Gallipoli in the First World War or the Battle of Britain in the Second, whether it was fighting wars or keeping peace, this country's military campaigns have shaped our lives and scarred our collective consciousness.
Global conflict has traumatic local consequences. That idea of the bigger story, told by personal voices and individual histories, is at the root of a trilogy of programmes about to start on BBC 1.
The season, Century of Conflict, marks a career-long ambition for me. It is a personal reflection and a public tribute, and it recalls some key events in our century while they still resonate strongly.
I was brought up in a Lancashire mill town, hundreds of miles away from any front yet with a bleak cemetery that told its own nightmares. And, as with many others, images of war haunted my imagination then - and they do still.
So many of my close relations have served in the armed forces this century. And their service stirs up complex feelings in me.
I can recall the statue of a soldier boy that dominates this windswept North of England graveyard. It's close to where generations of my own family have been buried: my Grandfather Alexander - whose own father Alexander died at Gallipoli - and my uncle, all three of whom served in the same East Lancashire Regiment, and my own father who joined the RAF towards the end of the Second World War.
My own great grandfather even has a sad and rather curious connection with BBC 1's popular star David Jason.
Jason plays Captain Frank Beck in our autumn centrepiece drama All The King's Men . Beck, late of the King's Regiment and general manager of King George V's Sandringham Estate, disappeared with his men in a wall of enemy fire in Gallipoli in August 1915.
The story of that vanished battalion, said Winston Churchill in 1919, was "the greatest unsolved mystery of this century".
My Great Grandfather, Alexander Shapcott, died that very same month on that very same Turkish peninsula. His name is on the Hellas War Memorial, a 30m-high obelisk that can still be seen by ships passing through the Dardanelles. He was a Private in his 20s. Just eight weeks before he'd lost his brother William, a drummer boy and my Great Uncle - yet another one of 20,000 soldiers who died in that notorious and savage campaign.
With the Century of Conflict, I wanted to reflect the loss, the pride and the debt of honour we owe to every one of those tens of thousands of servicemen and women. Alongside All The King's Men , we also chronicle some of our most desperate moments, in the Second World War in a documentary series, Finest Hour , and end with our peacekeeping force enmeshed in Bosnia, the subject of our two-part drama Warriors .
Selfishly, I hope my three young sons never join them, never know the fear and agonies of war, never feel the sort of remorse that I've felt as I've passed that lonely graveyard statue, standing to attention with its grey puttees and battered helmet.
And yet, I've been fascinated by Europe's century of conflict - as a boy, as I was growing up and later as a television producer. That's why I'm privileged to be able to be embarking on a project that will dominate BBC 1 schedules this month. It tries to show how war has shaped the UK's identity. It's been a lifelong obsession: a decade ago, as a documentary producer with BBC 2, I spearheaded a season of documentaries under the banner War and Peace . Two years later I mounted Channel 4's Bloody Bosnia season during that terrible conflict.
As Controller of BBC 1, I feel we can finally and - I hope - memorably define a century of armed service and bloodshed with some of the biggest dramas and documentaries we've transmitted.
After all, from literature to film, art to real life, it's been a century where war has shaped British life. We began the century defending an empire. Forty years later we were fighting for our lives, and this decade we've been in conflict once again in Europe, this time as peacekeepers. From superpower to European power, we've emerged scarred and changed. I'm filled with equal amounts of horror and fascination at the thought of war. Those of us who have never fought, but who grew up in the shadow of war, feel a mixture of guilt and gratitude. Guilt that we were never called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice, and gratitude to those strangers who paid the most terrible price for the common good.
War this century has moulded Britain as it is today. I remember being captivated by Paul Fussell's book The Great War and Modern Memory , where I learned how the First World War effort gave shape to the Britain I grew up in, its trains, pubs and shops, organised to fight that most bloody of conflicts.
It was a disturbing and tangible experience in the backstreets of Burnley, where I grew up, to feel war's cold fingers touch the lives of so many. In the 1950s and 1960s war still echoed in the pub songs my family sang: Pack Up Your Troubles and It's A Long Way to Tipperary . Veterans were visible then as they hobbled in the streets. And not just on Poppy Days.
Every living room had a grainy, faded photo from some regiment and on television, war movies stimulated playground songs. I was that five-year-old marching round the school yard, recruiting for a game of soldiers, chanting "All join in for Japs and Commandos ...". We truly grew up in the shadow of war.
British television has long had an imaginative relationship with war. From Alan Bleasdale's Monocled Mutineer to Jeremy Isaacs' The World at War , from Richard Curtis and Ben Elton's Blackadder Goes Forth to Perry and Croft's Dad's Army , and from Richard Eyre's Tumbledown to Steve Humphries' Veterans . Each piece has added its own layer of sorrow, nostalgia, bitterness and even humour to the best and worst of our century.
You get a strong sense of loss and yearning from the centrepiece of our Century of Conflict season, Alma Cullen's All The King's Men . It captures, in moving and chilling fashion, the way war can connect a cosy homestead with the killing fields: one minute with your nearest and dearest, the next in a vicious bayonet fight. Recently as many of us watched the Kosovo conflict unfold on the BBC News, and saw how terror and bloodshed had stolen into the lives of ordinary villagers, I felt that same sense of "everyday" horror once again.
The Balkans war prompted BBC 1 to commission one of BBC 1's other autumn centrepieces, Leigh Jackson's Warriors , directed by Peter Kosminsky. It's important to remind people how fragile was Europe's peace, how complex it is for soldiers to be peacekeepers and underline the heart of darkness that can be found in the most ordinary communities.
When BBC Head of Serials Jane Tranter first brought the project to me she can scarcely have imagined how this year's events in Kosovo might overtake and underscore it. The theme is once more the same: ordinary men thrown into a bewildering foreign arena in the pursuit of peace.
The more our Century of Conflict season has crystallised, the more it has felt like public service of a profound kind. I want to make the final Remembrance Weekend of the century echo around the land. As the lives of so many First World War veterans are now only tangible through oral history archive, I also wanted to shift documentary focus to those servicemen and women who lived through our Second Great War from 1939 to 1945.
But, I was fascinated to watch the camera narrow its lens to one particular, one precise period. Phil Craig and Brian Lapping, from the company that made The Death of Yugoslavia , felt television had neglected a crucial six months around 1940 where our nation's very survival was at stake. Hitler stood at Normandy, Atlantic convoys were being sunk, Luftwaffe bombers were in the skies and misery stalked the streets of our cities. Arguably it was our Finest Hour , a time of extraordinary valour. We came through ... and the rest is history.
Or is it? If it is, it certainly isn't dusty or dry, dead and buried. I feel it in my own family life, in the poems I love, the songs we still sing and the literature that inspires and moves many of us. And I want it to resonate again this year so we never take such bravery or losses for granted. The conflict in the Balkans has warned us all about complacency and our common European cause.
Just a month ago I walked the Thames Path with a friend. We chanced upon dozens of concrete pillboxes that line the riverbanks. It's hard to believe that the meandering Thames was Stopline Red, a last desperate defence line, designed to keep Hitler's invading army from the English Midlands. Even here, in rural, soon to be 21st-century Britain, there are still solid reminders of how war has touched and changed our lives, forever.

1 my favourite mmos are daoc, eve and planetside. My least favourite mmos are wow and swtor. What are my chances of liking this game? 2 how buggy is it, is it working pretty well or not? 3 what are populations like? there wasnt a great fanfare at release, you dont see it advertised anywhere, i thought it was still in beta 4 are adventurine trusty with your credit card details etc.. has there been any billing cock ups or server hacks? 5 with the new roles system, have they reduced the power gap, is it more eve like in that if you specialise you get good at one role fairly quick, but veterans get more options? eg.. is it a progression system that starts out mostly vertical but then over time becomes more horizontal 6 how grindy is it. Is it viable to play say 3 hours a day and not be just cannon fodder? 7 are you forced to use macros and what have you? |

Originally posted by ShakyMo with out going into a ton of detail i can say that you might like the game because is has elements of daoc and eve and UO and shadowbane. It does have a lot of bugs, the graphics are not so good and to feel like you are progressing in the game is at a snail speed. If you can get past all that then it would be a ton of fun, for me I am to impatient and now have less then I have in the past, so for me I am hoping ESO or CU is a little more up to speed. |

Sony filed a trademark and service mark for "PlayStation TV" on June 26, covering hardware and potential related services, such as streaming television or movies, an IGN reader spotted. Sony held a trademark and service mark for "PlayStation TV" in September 2006, but it was abandoned in September 2012. Both marks feature the same logo and share features protected under the filings.
Sony didn't manufacture a PlayStation TV in the six years it held the first trademark, though it did launch a PlayStation-branded 3DTV in 2011. Recall that Sony holds the patent for a system that turns ads into interactive mini-games, asking viewers to yell out company names such as "McDonald's!" to end commercials.

The Colts trailed 28-0 at halftime and eventually 38-0 before they avoided the shutout. You can't point the finger at one particular area on why the Colts were blown out.
- Luck threw three interceptions and was sacked three times.
- Indianapolis ran for 18 yards on 14 attempts.
- Rams rookie Tavon Austin killed the Colts secondary for 138 yards on two catches.
- Special teams gave up a 98-yard touchdown to Austin on a punt return.
Irsay has a history for getting on Twitter to voice his frustration over his team's performance. He did it after their 24-point preseason loss to the Buffalo Bills in August. Irsay he said they had a "crap performance" and he gave his "commanders" an "earful" after the game.

Kenneth Gordon (born 5 January 1985)[1] better known by his stage name Tyler James, is an English singer-songwriter signed to Island Records.[2]
James's debut single, "Why Do I Do?", made an appearance on the UK Singles Chart in 2004, peaking at number twenty-five.[3] His debut studio album, The Unlikely Lad, was released through Island Records on 29 August 2005.[4]
In 2012 James appeared as a contestant on the first series of The Voice UK, making it through to the live final of the show, eventually finishing as the joint runner-up behind series winner Leanne Mitchell[5] Following his success on The Voice UK, James released his second album, A Place I Go, which peaked at number 47 on the UK Albums Chart.[6]
After guesting on the underground R&B track "Wilder" by Stargate in 2001, which became a nightclub favourite in London, James got his first taste of celebrity. In 2002, after touring around the UK's bars, pubs and clubs; evolving his sound and performance, James had garnered enough reputation to be hailed as "The British answer to Justin Timberlake" by The Face magazine, whilst NME hailed him as "one to watch".[citation needed]
Tyler James was signed to Island Records in 2003 after they heard a demo tape featuring his future debut single, "Why Do I Do?". The reggae flavoured song made the 'A' playlist on BBC Radio 2, and entered the UK Singles Chart at No. 25.[7] In early 2004, James toured the UK with best friend Amy Winehouse.[8]
In early 2005, James toured with Natasha Bedingfield[9] and in the spring of 2005, his second single "Foolish" was released, which reached No. 16 on the UK chart.[7] The success of the song saw his first appearance on BBC Television's Top of the Pops. July 2005, James' third single was released. Originally a No. 1 hit for White Town in, James covered "Your Woman". "Your Woman" reached No. 60, whilst his album The Unlikely Lad was released as a digital download in August 2005. The album includes three songs co-written with Amy Winehouse, who also features on the track "Best for Me".
In August 2005, James was supposed to perform at the V Festival, but cancelled due to 'unforeseeable circumstances'.[10] Later that year he toured with McFly,[11] but due to the disappointing chart performance of "Your Woman", James was dropped by Island Records and his debut album was not released on CD at the time. The album was later released on CD on 2 July 2012, following his success on The Voice.[12]
In 2012, James auditioned for The Voice UK, appearing in the third of four 'Blind Audition' shows. With coaches will.i.am, Jessie J, Tom Jones and Danny O'Donoghue, James initially performed the track "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" by Otis Redding. The performance was met with a positive reception from both Jessie J and will.i.am, though it was the latter who opted to have James on his team.[13] During the show's 'Battle Rounds', James was pitted against 25-year-old Heshima Thompson, winning the performance of "Yeah 3x" by American singer Chris Brown and advancing to the live shows.[14] During the first live show, James performed the James Vincent McMorrow version of "Higher Love" by Stevie Winwood,[15] and was saved by judge will.i.am.[16] In the third live show, James performed Terence Trent D'Arby's "Sign Your Name".[17] The performance saw James land in the bottom three alongside Joelle Moses and Frances Wood, though his place in the semi-final was awarded by coach will.i.am.[18] In the semi-final, James performed Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" – and was voted into the final by the public over fellow contestant Jaz Ellington; joining Bo Bruce, Leanne Mitchell and Vince Kidd from Team Danny, Team Tom and Team Jessie respectively.[19] In the final, James performed three tracks: "I'll Be There" (The Jackson 5), "OMG" (Usher) with will.i.am and "Higher Love" (James Vincent McMorrow) for a second time.[20] Alongside singer Bo Bruce, James was announced as the series' runner-up behind Leanne Mitchell.[5]
On Monday 10 December 2012 Tyler achieved a lifelong ambition by featuring on the Ken Bruce show on Radio 2. The segment of the show is "Tracks of my Years" where the guest is ususlly a legend of the popular music world and they choose two tracks each day of the show that have huge meaning to themselves.
It was confirmed in July 2012 that James had signed a new joint record deal with Island Records and Universal Music Group and had begun work on his second studio album.[2] James then announced in August that the album's lead single, "Single Tear", would be released in the United Kingdom on 7 October;[21] with the album A Place I Go following on 29 October. James confirmed he had worked with various producers and songwriters for A Place I Go, including The Voice coach will.i.am, Fraser T Smith and Guy Chambers who wrote and produced "Single Tear".[21] The album charted at number 47 on the UK Albums Chart.[6]
Tyler James grew up in the Canning Town area of London and moved to Camden Town area of the city in his late teens. James met Amy Winehouse at the age of 13, when they both trained at the Sylvia Young Theatre School.
In 2009, James was admitted to a rehabilitation clinic to treat an alcohol addiction. Following his recovery, James lived with friend Amy Winehouse prior to her death.[22]

So... I'm aware that I'm being even more inactive than usual nowadays. >.> Sorry 'bout that, but I put my academic life over this. Finals week is in around a week or so, and I've got two papers to write and two tests to study for over the weekend. Boy do I love junior year.
Ask the Megling
Just thought I'd ask; Vi is comin' out, and I plan on getting her day one. Are we holding auditions for people who want to play her? or something? Nocturne is fun, but it's so damned hard to segway him into a conversation without it feeling forced; I'd like a character who can actually speak with people.
Ask the Tempest
I find the judge voting lop-sided. I think we should, ummmmmm... Lets say if you get voted judge, you shouldnt be able to apply again for 2 more champions.
Ryugi and Skar (The third judge has been changed up a bit lately and I also forgot who is usually picked for it so lol) I place a lot of trust in as they are (whether they like it/want to be or not) worthy of such leadership in my eyes. There are many on these forums I would never entrust this to for reasons severe to mild, but of course I will not say whom (this DOES include myself). Knowing this, if I were to decide, we would use the same judges. It's nice to have variety, but in this case, it's a no from me. But I don't decide anything for the community. 'Tis why we're a community. IIRC, Ryugi doesn't seem to like being put in such a position where he's looked to for many things, and from what I can remember neither does Skarner. It's nice that they continue to put the effort forth. The voting is great in my opinion. Zed's was a huge success considering how well our Zed does at portraying him. Big bravo from me to that guy. Now I just want to see what he can do in a fight scene.
Ask Shenn
Pains me to say this but... Akali is inactive. I think it's safe to say she's available... Let's just hope the new one would be able to roll with what the old one was doing... >.>
She was awsome.

Things I liked:Very inconsistent groups unlike the lead pellets. Things I would have changed:nothing if you are happy with the reslts What others should know:nope Things I liked:EXTREMELY ACCURATE IN MY BENJAMIN TRAIL NP (COMMODITY AIRGUN), HARD HITTING FOR PEST CONTROL. 155 FPS FASTER THAN 14.7 GRAIN LEAD PELLETS (CHRONOGRAPHED). Things I would have changed:LOWER PRICE What others should know:IMO, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND A LIBERAL COATING WITH BRASS RELOADING CASE LUBE (e.g. HORNADY ONE-SHOT LUBE). SEEMS TO IMPROVE ACCURACY AND REDUCE BARREL FOWLING. Things I liked:Great accuracy through a Walther Dominator, hitting rabbits and squirrels (neck and head shots) in my garden from about twenty six yards. No worries about pass-throughs contaminating my soil, which I like especially. Things I would have changed:Still a bit pricey. With the power I have with this gun, and most 900fps guns I suspect, a polymer tipped hollow point would be nice for a clean vitals shot. What others should know:I practice with these now out to thirty meters with good results, I average about one to two inch groups prone, and can regularly hit one inch targets from fifteen meters standing. I've tried other lead free ammo (Skenco, Gammo) they may hit harder, but they don't have the consistent accuracy of the Beeman ECO.

Gucci Spring 2013 | Runway
Gucci Spring 2013
Frida Giannini must be in a good mood. The sunny palette she employed for Gucci's Spring 2013 collection is indicative of an optimistic state of mind — and after last season's rich, glamorous outing of all black everything, this house needed a happy jolt of color.
The hot pinks, seafoam greens, lemon yellows, and shades of blue Giannini sent down the runway in Milan this afternoon were spot-on trend with this season's wider color story. But where others created volume from the waist down, this designer focused on sleeves and necklines. Ruffles added a flirtatious softness to shirts and dresses — on one, the treatment started at the neck and snaked all the way down the wearer's right arm. Bishop and angel sleeves abounded on solid colored garments, too — and it was hard not to appreciate that these effects weren't extended to the few printed garments in the collection.
But Giannini can still do not-so-basic black. Toward the end of the collection, she phased in two dresses and some separates in the color that incorporated her sleeves and ruffles. They were a lovely homage to Gucci's modern black moment (see: Tom Ford in the late '90s), but we wouldn't have missed them.

Receiver hopes to stick with Titans after year off
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Derek Hagan sat around last season hoping for a call from an NFL team. His phone never rang.
This offseason, the receiver only heard from one team and not until mid-June. Now he is in training camp with the Tennessee Titans hoping to earn a roster spot that keeps him in the league for his eighth season.

Titans WR Hagan wants sports talk radio career to wait
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Derek Hagan wouldn't mind a full-time job one day working in sports media, but just not any time soon.
Sure, that sports talk spot for Fox Sports Radio last football season as part of the Jason Smith Show piqued his interest. The NFL veteran had plenty of perspective and tales to offer from nearly two decades of playing the sport at every level.

Thread: M44 stock replacement options
M44 stock replacement options
I have a M44 Mosin with a hopelessly broken and busted-up stock and have sought a replacement off and on for years, without success. I don't want one of the plastic commercial replacement stock as they cost more than I spent buying the rifle, and well, they just don't look right.
Lately I have seen plenty of M91-30 stocks available and am wondering, could one of those be cut and reassembled with relative ease, well enough to use it on my currently-useless M44? Normally I would not even consider cutting on a Mosin stock BUT to me, there are more than enough 91-30 takeoff stocks available to fit the bill here without destroying anything meaningful. I just want to be able to shoot the rifle without spending a whole lot.
My brother is a cabinet-maker and could handle any cutting/splicing/joinery/fitting involved in making a 91-30 stock into a M44 stock. I would very much like to hear from someone who's done this, learn how they did it and even see photos if the guy who's done this (I bet someone has) happens to read this thread.

There's one on ebay right now, labeled as just a Mosin Nagant stock. No mention of it being an M44 stock.
Google these websites: Liberty tree collectors, Numrich gun parts, Apex gun parts, buymilsurp.com. I know 100% when I bought my M44 last month there were TONS of replacement parts on those websites INCLUDING brand NEW M44 barrels for sale....good luck senor.

I just got one from Numrich to use on my Type 53. It isn't perfect but for a used stock it worked out fine.

The one I received from Numrich is as good as any I have on rearsenaled rifles.
It is mathematically impossible for everyone to be above average......

Plenty of M44 stocks show up on eBay all the time. Each represents one more Bubbaed rifle and a bit more value to each surviving original...
Thanks for the tips, y'all. I checked Numrich, $61.75 for the stock with handguard. I don't need the handguard, and the price is $21.75 more than I paid for the rifle! (It was a Century U-Fix-Em) eBay is not my favorite place to shop, and I thought they forbade gun stuff (they kicked out the G3 mags I listed there a few years ago) but I guess I'll check there next. Thanks again.
One last person / place you may want to check with is Rick Reich. He has tons of Mosin items. I forgrt how I got a hold of him, but about a year ago I purchased some misc hard to find items from him with no problems whatsoever. Google Rick Reich or ReichTrade.

"Talk radio began as a seriously bankable format in the early 1960s," said Rendall, who first tuned in about 1963. "It was born in the backlash of a bunch of white guys on the right railing against the Civil Rights Movement, the women's movement and the peace movement. Forty years later little has changed." |
Talk listeners are more likely to vote than the general public, Barker said. But they tend to be "confidently misinformed," assuming, for example, that the Clinton administration ran a budget deficit instead of healthy surpluses |
Somehow we have to reawaken the American public and have them be more demanding about the information coming their way." |
Originally posted by Nursing Mother ...it happens to be that there are more Conservative talk radio shows then liberal because more people wish talk on those issues.... |
Originally posted by Marlena The true level of discourse, on the other hand, will be raised by raising the level of public education in this country to something at least roughly on a par with that enjoyed in other Western nations. Most of us Americans (myself certainly included) have marginal grasp of history - even our own. Something like 20% of American adults are functionally illiterate. For those who are literate, how many had, or if they had it, recall their education in the history of English poetry? How many are able to analyze an event using a multidisciplinary (eg, political, economic and philosophical) approach? How many of us can still easily work a complex algebraic function (if we ever learned how to do so in the first place)? It's truly pathetic. We deserve to have an uneducated shmoe like Shrub in office (it appears that none of his Ivy-league education has stuck with him, if he ever got anything from it, educationally, in the first place). |
Originally posted by Marlena Also, for the record, NPR isn't liberal. It's middle-of-the-road...unless a relative degree of evenhandedness and impartial reporting now equals "liberal." |
"People choose to listen to stations they tend to agree with," said Margaret Gordon, dean emeritus of the Evans School of Public Affairs at the University of Washington. "Very few listen to stations where their views will be challenged." |
Really, that's hard to debate with a straight face. |
Originally posted by applejuice If someone is so intolerant that they cannot handle an opposing point of view simply by hearing it on the radio, then that person has a behavioral problem. |
Originally posted by applejuice I have had to tolerate alot of people being extremely rude straight into my face for alot of reasons. I have even had people lie straight into my face. I have had alot of abuse in my life. Perhaps that is why I can tolerate TalkRadio. Who knows. |
Originally posted by Els' 3 Ones On a (perhaps) positive note: I've been having a daily back and forth with a Rushite and in discussing why a larger anti-war presence this time vs Bosnia I proposed that perhaps the internet helped, greatly, to get the message out. |
Originally posted by applejuice Opinions are neither right nor are wrong. One does not have to agree with them. They are just opinions. |

Vena Cava Fall 2012
Vena Cava Lights Up the Dark With Fall 2012 Collection
>> The pieces Sophie Buhai and Lisa Mayock created for Fall 2012 espouse a colorful optimism that is tempered only by practical tailoring. Maybe that sense of delight comes from the knowledge and comfort of the licensing deal Vena Cava struck recently with global trading firm Li & Fung.
The happy news is as good a reason as any to dust off summery shades of turquoise, yellow, and cobalt and serve them up playfully during the coldest months of the year. But to keep them in the season, Buhai and Mayock grounded their brights in basic black and sewed them into some decidedly '40s silhouettes. These looks are strong, and as Vena Cava regains its strength as a corporate entity, it's only imaginable that the clothes will get even more powerful.
