Man to robber in the Bronx: "If you're going to be robbing people for the rest of the night, you might as well take my coat to keep you warm." http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=89164759
See now that's how I'd expect Jesus to handle the situation if he were walking the Earth today. How come I can't picture any of his followers doing it?
Would that be the Jesus who "took offense to this, and so, creating a whip from some cords, drives out the livestock, scatters the coins of the money changers, and turns over their tables, and those of the people selling doves" while calling them a den of thieves?
I think this person may have had the best observation quote: "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ". Mohandas K Gandhi In this day and age I think you'd have to go more in the direction of what would Anton Chigur do. The killer from NCFOM
Sorry but after reading that I'm going to call bullsh!t on this story. It reads too much like something out of a made for TV special. Why would the robber go have dinner with the guy then give him his wallet back if he wants the money so bad? Why after mugging someone would he do anything but run? You're telling me he's going to stop, walk back to the guy giving more time for an ID if he got picked up by the cops not to mention the fact that the guy might try something on him to get his wallet back? Then he's going to go to dinner with the guy he just robbed? Then after their dinner and heart to heart talk he's going to give the guy his knife? This whole story just doesn't wash with me. Anyone else, or am I the only coldhearted SOB that would think that?
You know that Npr can not make things up , because they can be sued. You know the journalist who wrote the story had to go and interview the restaurant , and the people involved in ths story. So all the people involved in this story are lying ( the journalist,Julio Diaz,the robber,the waiters,the manager,the dishwashers,etc,etc,etc), that's what you are saying now.
It may not sound plausable but fact is stranger than fiction. The guy is a social worker who's use to dealing with this type of kid. The kid well we don't know how old he is. If he's a very young teenager the social worker might be able to talk him down. Maybe it was the kids first robbery and not only was surprised by the response he got,but really didn't want to go through with itin the first place,and felt guilty about it and this was the way out. Who knows,if it really happened its a pretty impressive story.
Wait, where does it say anywhere that anyone was interviewed about this story or anything like that? As far as I can tell this is a recording of this guy's story, he can say whatever he wants. The whole premise of this "StoryCorps" thing is for people to submit their own stories, not for NPR to vett what they submit. Here's some info on how this story came to be on NPR: http://www.storycorps.net/about/faqs#what-makes-stroycorps-different "Unlike traditional oral history interviews, a StoryCorps interview is done by two people who know each other. We believe that being interviewed by a friend or family member is a powerful experience. It not only captures your memories and stories, but the dynamics of your relationship. StoryCorps also provides the equipment, space and staff for a broadcast-quality recording. A StoryCorps facilitator guides you through the interview process and operates the recording equipment. At the end of the session, you receive a CD of the recording to pass along to family and friends. With your permission, another copy will be archived at the American Folklife Center in the Library of Congress, accessible to future generations. Selected interviews are edited and produced for broadcast on our website, NPR, and other media outlets." OK, so his friend interviewed him, StoryCorps took the tape, gave it to NPR, NPR edited it and put it on the air. Nothing in there about researching if it was true. I doubt they'd get sued even if it was false, its a personal account, a human interest story, not hard news. Do you also believe all the stories in Penthouse Forum? Then again, maybe a.) I missed the part about researching the veracity of the story, b.) I'm just a d!ck, or c.) some combination of a. and b.
Definitely. All I'm saying is its a heckuva lot more likely the guy ends up with a knife buried in his stomach for trying something like that than having a nice dinner and getting his wallet back! I think its more likely he did something equally heroic under more pedestrian circumstances (like he gave a homeless beggar his jacket and took him out for dinner), and sexed it up to get it on NPR. You're right though, it could be 100% true, just sounds strange to me.
The Bad Guy: If his friends find out about all this gooey lovey dovey liberal bullsh!t he'll have to pack his bags and head for Frisco, his homeys will run him out of town. If Sean Penn & Sarandon can find him they can dream up a Liberal Wizard Of Oz movie about his life, Penn will go on the Today Show and cry. "kissy kissy mush mush" "i love you" "i love you to my darling" "i gave a homeless man ten thousand dollars this morning" "oh god bless you" "i gave him my sneakers too" "oh holy mary mother of jesus" "oh look sweetheart, it's a depressed mental meth junkie, quick give him your underwear" "ok" "oh darling i'm becoming aroused" Well the bear will be gentle And the wolves will be tame And the lion shall lay down by the lamb And the beasts from the wild Shall be led by a child And I'll be changed, changed from this creature that I am :bricks:

Born to Run? Little Ones Get Test for Sports Gene
Born to Run? Little Ones Get Test for Sports Gene
DNA collected by swabbing the inside of a cheek can be used to determine whether a child is likely to excel at a particular sport. By JULIET MACUR BOULDER, Colo. When Donna Campiglia learned recently that a genetic test might be able to determine which sports suit the talents of her 2 ½-year-old son, Noah, she instantly said, Where can I get it and how much does it cost? I could see how some people might think the test would pigeonhole your child into doing fewer sports or being exposed to fewer things, but I still think its good to match them with the right activity, Ms. Campiglia, 36, said as she watched a toddler class at Boulder Indoor Soccer in which Noah struggled to take direction from the coach between juice and potty breaks. I think it would prevent a lot of parental frustration, she said. In health-conscious, sports-oriented Boulder, Atlas Sports Genetics is playing into the obsessions of parents by offering a $149 test that aims to predict a childs natural athletic strengths. The process is simple. Swab inside the childs cheek and along the gums to collect DNA and return it to a lab for analysis of ACTN3, one gene among more than 20,000 in the human genome. The tests goal is to determine whether a person would be best at speed and power sports like sprinting or football, or endurance sports like distance running, or a combination of the two. A 2003 study discovered the link between ACTN3 and those athletic abilities. In this era of genetic testing, DNA is being analyzed to determine predispositions to disease, but experts raise serious questions about marketing it as a first step in finding a childs sports niche, which some parents consider the road to a college scholarship or a career as a professional athlete. Atlas executives acknowledge that their test has limitations but say that it could provide guidelines for placing youngsters in sports. The company is focused on testing children from infancy to about 8 years old because physical tests to gauge future sports performance at that age are, at best, unreliable. Some experts say ACTN3 testing is in its infancy and virtually useless. Dr. Theodore Friedmann, the director of the University of California-San Diego Medical Centers interdepartmental gene therapy program, called it an opportunity to sell new versions of snake oil. This may or may not be quite that venal, but I would like to see a lot more research done before it is offered to the general public, he said. I dont deny that these genes have a role in athletic success, but its not that black and white. Dr. Stephen M. Roth, director of the functional genomics laboratory at the University of Marylands School of Public Health who has studied ACTN3, said he thought the test would become popular. But he had reservations. The idea that it will be one or two genes that are contributing to the Michael Phelpses or the Usain Bolts of the world I think is shortsighted because its much more complex than that, he said, adding that athletic performance has been found to be affected by at least 200 genes. Dr. Roth called ACTN3 one of the most exciting and eyebrow-raising genes out there in the sports-performance arena, but he said that any test for the gene would be best used only on top athletes looking to tailor workouts to their body types. It seems to be important at very elite levels of competition, Dr. Roth said. But is it going to affect little Johnny when he participates in soccer, or Suzys ability to perform sixth grade track and field? Theres very little evidence to suggest that. The study that identified the connection between ACTN3 and elite athletic performance was published in 2003 by researchers primarily based in Australia. Those scientists looked at the genes combinations, one copy provided by each parent. The R variant of ACTN3 instructs the body to produce a protein, alpha-actinin-3, found specifically in fast-twitch muscles. Those muscles are capable of the forceful, quick contractions necessary in speed and power sports. The X variant prevents production of the protein. The ACTN3 study looked at 429 elite white athletes, including 50 Olympians, and found that 50 percent of the 107 sprint athletes had two copies of the R variant. Even more telling, no female elite sprinter had two copies of the X variant. All male Olympians in power sports had at least one copy of the R variant. Conversely, nearly 25 percent of the elite endurance athletes had two copies of the X variant only slightly higher than the control group at 18 percent. That means people with two X copies are more likely to be suited for endurance sports. Still, some athletes prove science, and seemingly their genetics, wrong. Research on an Olympic long jumper from Spain showed that he had no copies of the R variant, indicating that athletic success is probably affected by a combination of genes as well as factors like environment, training, nutrition and luck. Just think if that Spanish kids parents had done the test and said, No, your genes show that you are going to be a bad long jumper, so we are going to make you a golfer, said Carl Foster, a co-author of the study, who is the director of the human performance laboratory at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. Now look at him. Hes the springiest guy in Spain. Hes Tigger. We dont yet understand what combination of genes creates that kind of explosiveness. Click the link for the rest of this article.

I remember him clocking 40 times of like 4.24 and 4.26! Does anybody know if anyone currently in the NFL is faster or if anybody ran faster than that in recent years at the Combine? He could certainly stretch the field out for any team that he plays for. I hope we get Welker but Stallworth would make a nice addition too for the right price.
Being fast is way overrated IMO. Being quick with great timing gets you the separation needed to be a great receiver. Jerry Rice really wasn't that fast.
yeah, i remember bethel and terry glenn both clocked around a 4.28 in the 40 but neither of them really worked out for us, so speed isn't everything. Ginn looks faster than Stallworth even though i don't think his official 40 times at the combine were better than Stallworth, bj, or terry glenn.
Bethel as well as Chad Jackson. One a bust, and one dangerously close to becoming a bust. Speed isn't everything.
yeah, i believe that Chad Jackson ran like a 4.32 in the 40 so he's the current member of our team that has the most potential to become a deep threat. Hope he doesn't become another bust.
Seems like Glenn worked out really well. The kid came in and tore things up. I wonder what numbers he would have put up had he kept his head and played with a decent quarterback.
How the hell do you call a 21 year old, who's had bad luck with injuries, and is just entering his second season a bust? I bet you didn't know that Jackson matched Watson with 3 touchdown catches. Chad Johnsons first season: 12 games, 28 rec, 329 yds, 1 td Terrell Owens first season: 16 games, 35 rec, 520 yds, 4 td's Reggie Waynes first season: 13 games, 27 rec, 345 yds, 0 td's Donald Drivers first season: 3 games, 3 rec, 31 yds, 1 td Steve Smiths first season: 15 games, 10 rec, 154 yds, 2 td's Issac Bruces first season: 12 games, 21 rec, 272 yds, 3 td's Lavernues Coles first season: 13 games, 22 rec, 370 yds, 1 td Mike Furreys first season: 13 games, 20 rec, 189 yds, 0 td's Javon Walkers first season: 15 games, 23 rec, 319 yds, 1 td T.J. Houshmanszadeh first season: 12 games, 21 rec, 228 tds, 0 td's Plaxico Burress first season: 12 games, 22 rec, 273 yds, 0 td's Notice anything? Those guys were all TOP TWENTY recievers this past season!! GIVE THE KID A BREAK. You act like every reciever the Pats draft should have Marques Colston rookie numbers.
No matter how sane your argument is and how many facts you use to back it up it will continue to fall on deaf ears. Once people make up their minds that's usually it. Sad.

The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva is sourced from 32-year old vines and apparently endured a long, drawn-out malolactic fermentation. It has a succulent, generous bouquet of blackberry, blueberry and violets, with fine delineation and well-integrated, judicious oak. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, silky tannins. This has a core of pure black fruit laced with tobacco and graphite, while the finish demonstrates finesse and class. This is a top Cabernet from Colchagua that is well worth seeking out. Drink 2013-2019. Laura Hartwig Winery was established in 1990 and they presently cultivate around 80 hectares of vine in the Colchagua Valley. I met with Alejandro Hartwig Bisquertt at the winery to taste through his current releases, plus some mature examples. (NM) (12/ 2012)
Laura Hartwig is a new discovery for us, and if her 2010 value releases are any indication, certainly a winery to watch in the coming years. Consisting of 80 hectares in the Colchagua Valley, Laura Hartwig works biodynamically to cultivate her grapes. This particular Cabernet is very well made, showing off beautiful currant and berry fruits, with admirable restraint, balance and texture combining to create an elegant, seamless cab if it were twice the price, let alone for the under $13 asking price. Very impressive! (Joe Manekin, K&L South American wine buyer)

[[caption-width-right:350:From left to right: Mitch, Scott, Kirstie, Kevin, Avi]]
Pentatonix, or "PTX," as they like to call themselves, are an ACappella singing group consisting of five incredibly talented young musicians: Scott Hoying, Kirstie Maldonado, Mitch Grassi, Avi Kaplan, and Kevin Olusola. Scott, Kirstie, and Mitch grew up together in Arlington, TX. They recorded a Website/YouTube cover of "Telephone" by Music/LadyGaga in an attempt to win a "meet the cast of Glee" cover band. They didn't win the contest, but when Scott learned about ''Series/TheSingOff'', they were inspired to audition. With advice from ''Sing-Off'' staff member Ben Bram, they added Avi, the bass singer, and invited Kevin to join them on vocal percussion after seeing his viral "cello-beatboxing" [=YouTube=] video.
Together, the group produces a unique, full, layered sound that almost seems too complex to come out of five people. Scott, Kirstie, and Mitch form the melodic and harmonic core of the music, while Avi and Kevin lay down a remarkably solid base. Pentatonix won the third season of ''The Sing-Off'', and have been creating impressive cover arrangements and original songs ever since. They have five EP albums out thus far with a fourth full length album planned, and they regularly release [=YouTube=] videos of their music. They have had multiple viral videos, most notably "Evolution of Beyoncé" and a Music/DaftPunk medley which reached 100 million views in November 2014 (one year after it was posted). Both videos received wide media attention as well. Pentatonix has made multiple US and two European tours with an Australasian tour scheduled for August 2014. They've performed pop, electronic, dubstep, and hip-hop music in their signature ACappella style. And they're the first Sing-Off alums to have an album go platinum (''That's Christmas To Me'').
* PTX Volume 1 (June 2012)
* [=PTXmas=] (November 2012)
* PTX Volume 2 (November 2013)
* [=PTXmas=] Deluxe Edition (2 bonus tracks) (November 2013)
* PTX Volume 3 (September 2014)
* That's Christmas To Me (October 2014)
!!Pentatonix provide examples of the following tropes:
* ACappella: They have a unique take, incorporating electronic influences in their percussion and beatboxing.
* {{Adorkable}}: All of them, especially when they're geeking out about one of their interests. (For example, Scott talking about Beyonce or Mitch talking about corgis.)
* AfterTheEnd: The setting for their cover of [[Music/ImagineDragons "Radioactive"]] with Music/LindseyStirling. Blasted, graffiti'd buildings, oversaturated visuals, and costumes with plenty of dusty leather and goggles. BadAss.
* AntiLoveSong: Original song "The Baddest Girl".
-->Do you really love me? (Tell me that you love me, say it)\\
Do you really care? (I won't hold you to it, put me through it)\\
Do you really want me? (Don't worry, my heart is made of steel)\\
Do you really.. at least pretend to love me girl,\\
I don't care if that love is real.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Arguably in their collaboration with Todrick Hall:
-->Kirstie (as the Witch of the West): "Don't want no money! (to Avi/Lion) I like your beard."
* AudienceParticipationSong: One of the most well-received part of their concert is where they divide the audience into thirds and have each third sing a part (as Team Scott, Team Mitch, and Team Kirstie), then have Avi and Kevin do their thing beneath.
* BassoProfundo: Avi, full stop. The man can rattle the floorboards on incredibly deep, low tones.
* {{Bowdlerise}}: They tend to remove curse words and other potentially racy language in their songs, the most notable being their performance of "OMG" on ''Series/TheSingOff'', explained in part by Kevin's very religious background. Fortunately, it rarely if ever gets in the way of their songs and it [[TropesAreNotBad really does make the songs more child friendly.]]
* BookEnds: The beginning and end of "The Wizard of Ahhs", a musical parody of and homage to [[Film/TheWizardOfOz the iconic 1939 film]] featuring Todrick Hall, begins and ends with the line ''Somewhere Over the Rainbow''.
* CheshireCatGrin: Mitch can pull off a very unnerving smile, which borders on a SlasherSmile in their "Aha!" music video.
* {{Chiaroscuro}}: The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sp7PS_UN8Lo video]] for their original song "Run To You" and their [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jt3oAyK_IG8 cover]] of "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy."
* ChristmasSongs: Two full albums of them, one appropriately named "[=PTXmas=]" and the other entitled "That's Christmas To Me".
* CloudCuckoolander: Scott can be this.
* ComicalAngryFace: The behind-the-scenes for their "Radioactive" cover features a "super-frown count" of Lindsey Stirling and several members of the group doing their comical angry faces for various reasons. Final tally? Four.
* ConceptVideo: Thus far two of their music videos.
** The video for their cover of "Starships" by Music/NickiMinaj. The band puts together a spaceship out of random household objects!
** The video for their cover of "Aha" by Music/ImogenHeap. Zombified band members stalk a man and his girlfriend!
* CoverVersion: The majority of their songs so far.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: In their Music/DaftPunk medley, the band members wear Icy Blue Eyes contact lenses (except for Kevin who wears Cool Shades). Kirstie also wears a pale blue wig and make-up.
* FiveTokenBand: Very nearly a natural example: Two white guys (both of whom are gay), a Hispanic girl, a Jewish guy, and a black guy.
* HalloweenEpisode:
** The video for their cover of "Aha". ACappella music by way of a zombie flick.
** The video for "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" is also rather dark and eerie, if toned down compared to "Aha."
* IcyBlueEyes: The band sports pale blue contact lenses in their "Daft Punk" video, except for Kevin who wears futuristic CoolShades.
** CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Kirstie also wears a pale blue wig and make-up job in this video.
* {{Medley}}:
** Their Music/BritneySpears cover, from ''The Sing-Off''
** Their Music/{{NSYNC}} medley, from their [=YouTube=] channel.
** The "Evolution of Music" video. A medley spanning over five hundred years' worth of popular music.
** "The Evolution of {{Music/Beyonce}}" which is exactly what it sounds like.
** A Music/DaftPunk medley, simply titled "Daft Punk".
** "The Wizard of Ahhhs"
* MrFanservice:
** Judging by his intro part in "Pusher Love Girl", Avi seems to have taken this role, but mostly only in the music.
** Watch them perform "Let's Get It On" live in concert. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAboEgHvBbM Avi provides free lap dances for the "chair girls."]]
* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: ACappella pop, ACappella hip-hop, ACappella electronica...
* NobodyLovesTheBassist: Averted entirely. Avi has a very robust fandom.
* OnceAnEpisode: At the end of almost every [=YouTube=] video, Avi will always say, "Don't forget to subscribe" in a deep voice.
* TheOner: Most of their [=YouTube=] videos consist of the group sitting on a couch in front of a stationary camera and singing live.
* PerformanceVideo: They have several of these, for example the video for their cover of Music/FleetFoxes' "White Winter Hymnal."
* PrettyInMink: Kirstie wore a white fur jacket on the album cover of "That's Christmas To Me".
* SelfTitledAlbum: Well, almost. PTX is a nickname for the group.
* SesameStreetCred: They've already appeared in an episode. A clip from which can now be seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0b-v-wMR69k here!]]
* SomethingCompletelyDifferent:
** Their collaboration with Music/LindseyStirling on Music/ImagineDragons' "Radioactive" (and later again on Creator/{{Stromae}}'s "Papaoutai"). ACappella music... with cello and violin.
** In their concerts, they bring out Kevin's cello and have him cello-beatbox in order to give the rest of the vocalists a bit of a break.
* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Their first four albums all contain their nickname, "PTX," in the title; the fifth one is titled "That's Christmas to Me."
* VocalTagTeam: Scott takes lead most often, but Kirstie and Mitch carry several songs apiece. Even Avi gets into the mix on several of their tunes.
* VocalDissonance: Despite having the [[BassoProfundo deepest]] voice of the group, Avi is second-shortest of the guys.
* VoiceTypes: The average American has a vocal range of one-and-a-quarter octaves; a trained singer typically has two and a bit. The members of Pentatonix have a ''lot'' more, easily qualifying as [[IncrediblyLamePun bisectional]].
** Avi is a BassoProfundo but can function as a tenor. [[http://youtu.be/fu2adThK7NQ One video]] pegs his range as ''three-and-a-half'' octaves.
** Scott primarily plays tenor lead, but can function as a bass.
** Kevin is a high tenor on the rare occasions when he sings (in "Run To You" his part is notated as an alto part sometimes and a tenor at others).
** Kirstie tops out at mezzo-soprano, but has access to the whistle-tones made famous by Music/MariahCarey.
** Mitch typically plays the part of the alto. That's crazy enough as it is, because that makes him a CrossDressingVoice singing the part of a woman, but it gets crazier still when you see him run the gamut from tenor to soprano over the course of "Aha!" alone. When they do [[Music/{{Queen}} "Bohemian Rhapsody"]], it's ''Mitch'' who hits the high note, not Kirstie. Mitch [[http://youtu.be/PQ0xe5idUNc?t=49s also has a whistle register]], almost as high as Kirstie, though maybe not as consistent.
* WhiteMaleLead: While every member save Kevin has sung lead on at least one song, Scott is the most common lead.

(Read our full review) Its unibody aluminum construction, the new Sense UI, optical trackpad, gorgeous AMOLED screen, 5MP camera, speedy processor ... the list goes on. Only problem's been that it's kept itself out of North America -- until now. Canada's Virgin Mobile network has scored it for $79 with a three-year (Canadian standard) contract and data plan at $50 a month. Welcome to the new world, little Legend. Now let's work our way south into the States, eh? [Virgin Mobile]

Soaring Wings graduates pop up in the news frequently as leaders in academics, sports, the arts and humanitarianism. They have graduated from colleges across the country and stand out for their conviction in making contributions to their communities.
Before embarking on her college career one graduate organized a cottage industry for batik artists in Africa. Another started a series of successful restaurants in Los Angeles to introduce the exotic foods he discovered during his world travels. Another graduate took time out of her teaching career to work with Habitat for Humanity. Another is currently planning to serve in the Peace Corps following college. Others are artists, musicians, film makers, entrepreneurs, teachers and scientists.
The common thread we notice is that our graduates have a deep sense of responsibility and contentment in their life pursuits. They are consistently happy, successful, lifelong learners and contributors to their world.
We invite you to learn more about what our students, parents and community have to say about their Soaring Wings experience; then contact us to schedule a personal tour and discover yourself why so many parents and graduates love us. We look forward to meeting you!

Kris has landed himself in hot water after he got kicked out of a basketball game on Nov. 28 for fighting with other players. Is he feeling the strain from his divorce battle with Kim Kardashian?
Kris Humphries is facing suspension after he was removed from a basketball game in Boston, when his team the Brooklyn Nets took on Boston Celtics on Nov. 28. And things got ugly! Kris got into an argument with Celtics player Rajon Rondo after he fouled Celtics player Kevin Garnett, which began a scuffle that resulted in three players being fouled out. Was Kris' aggression caused by his divorce battle with former wife Kim Kardashian?
Kris Humphries' Fight on Court — What Happened?
Kris, who plays for the Brooklyn Nets, fouled Kevin, and he was then shoved by Rajon. Kris began shoving back, and they were joined by two more players as a brawl began that spilled out into the court-side seats. Kris, Rajon and Nets player Gerald Wallace were all removed from the game as a result. Kris's team went on to win the game 95 – 83.
Kris, you need to calm that temper down! Fighting during a basketball game is disgraceful behavior, even if you were provoked. Perhaps Kris is feeling the strain of his expensive divorce from Kim, as he refuses to settle because he feels he was "defrauded" by Kim.
After the incident, Kris tweeted a picture of his scratched arm and said, "Anyone know where I can get a quick Tetanus shot in Boston?" What a cheap joke. Kim is so much better off with Kanye West!
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Should Kris have made the tetanus remark?

Kris said he didn't hit him_because its too expensive to hit someone in the NBA and he's making money now_ the NBA is very strict. Those type of things Kris is a trained MMA fighter
If anyone for a second think that Rondo beat Kris then lol
And he's team mates says that Kris is not the type of person to bully

Hmm, Kris Humphries a MMA fighter ??? Sure did not look like it, neither did it look as if he was avoiding a fight, as
he pulled Rajon's jersey off. Rajon may be a smaller size, but boy was he besting Humphries in the shoving match.
Size does not always mean strength, look at the Olivier Martinez and Gabriel Aubry knock down.

You mean the little tap. KG flopped and made like he was hit by a truck. KG is a professional flopper, he could win an Oscar for play acting. Rondo clearly overreacted as Hump did not do anything wrong but foul KG and was going for the ball when Rondo deliberately pushed him in the stand. KG tried to trip Hump while Rondo and his Celtics goons push Hump into the stands. Kris tried to push him off but Rondo kept coming with 2 other Celtics with him. Can't wait for BK Nets to crush the Celtics on Christmas Day. Their own coach called them soft, they are fake tough guys and were just pi$$ed because they were getting their punk a$$es whipped but a team they used to dominate.
Get your facts straight
Posted at 9:40 PM on November 29, 2012
You really need to get your facts straight. Kris was not suspended. Kris is a trained MMA fighter and was trying to avoid fighting with Rondo. Rondo was salty because Kris blocked his shot earlier and made him look like a mosquito who got swat. The NBA has strict rules about fighting and Kris controlled his temper, other players would have let Rondo have it rules or no rules. People try to make Kris out to be a jerk, he is really a cool guy, he is very physical and a hard nose and hustles that players find tough the get around so they pick girly fights with him when they can't manage him

Thanks all. I tried to take an hydrometer reading at the start but it was so dence that the hydromiter hardly sank to the shoulders so i couldnt get a reading. It still smells a lovely fresh orange but i can only smell it if i put my nose to the top of the airlock. I will try the mead another time though it does sound good but ill complete this one first. I dont mind how strong it is but i guess itll be quite potent. I just hope it dont get sour. And yes its still bubbling away lol Many thanks for all the helpand advise peeps
My Tangerine wine... not a lot of help... I have been meaning to pull a bottle out of cellar and give it a go. Was bottled in May'11.http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f25/tang...ogress-213297/
Women are like yeast... You gotta keep them at the right temperature if you want to get anything out of them!
The Orange is still bubbling but very slowly now so iv started a diffrent one whilst im waiting for it. Iv done an appple attempt. Its about 6 pints of pure aple juice with about 3 pounds of brewing suger, a little black tea, a hand full of raisins and some chopped up Granny Smith with a white wine yeast. Its been bubbling like Bill Ho for a few days now and smells lush. Any thoughts on this one please ? Shall i just do it the same as the Orange please ?
Yes Daz! That sounds to me like an Apfelwein - there is a sticky about it in the cider forum that may help you out. Any high-proof (e.g. wine yeast) apple concoctions usually take a few months before they get to be really nice.
-Jordan Who will try to ferment just about anything "You guys just wanna get bombed and run around yelling yarr we're vikings!"
My apple wine has been bubbling away for 5 weeks now but has almost come to a stop and only bubbles once every minute or so but it is still very very cloudy and the raisins are still floating on the top. I used 1.5 KG of brewing suger and a gallon of fresh pure apple juice with a white wine yeast. The orange wine is the same very cloudy and almost stopped bubbling all together. Any advise please ? Am i doing anything wrong please ? What sould i do next please ?
No, that's fine. More time.
Will all the raisins fall to the bottom when its time to go to the 2nd fermentation please ?
So here is my update, I just racked off the apple and orange wines into 2nd demijons and had a little taste of both. The apple wine is still bubbling very slowly and tasts like rocket fuel and the orange wine had stopped bubbling and tastes like very sweet oranges but very very sweet. I added some water to top up the orange wine as there was a lot of sediment and iv put some more rasins in with a few bits of orange and added another yeast but this time a white wine yeast. It is starting to bubble again now. Am i pissing in the wind or on the right track please ?

2013 Audi A6 2.0T Premium quattro 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
I had looked at the Mercedes E Class, BMW 5 Series and the Lexus GS.
I thought the Audi drove and handled better; and although a personal opinion, I liked the exterior and interior styling better than the other cars.
I previously had a 2009 Audi A6 3.2 Quatro and I was planning on buying another 6 cylinder car.
However, I was very surprised with the power of the 4 cylinder turbo and its lack of NHV, so I bought a car with that engine in Quatro trim.
I have not regretted buying the 4 cylinder car and found it to be more than adequate for my typical driving style and commute.
Also, when I let friends drive the car, they are surprised it is not a 6 cylinder.
the full review
2013 Audi A6 3.0T Premium quattro 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl S/C 8A)
Overall like this car a lot.
1st Audi .
Have owned 5-7 Audis, 2 Porsches and a E55.
The seats are the worst of this group. BMW's best.
Needs more support everywhere.
The cup holders are way too small and center arm rest interferes.
Should switch the cup and freeform spaces front and back of shifter.
Engine is great.
Plenty of power when requested
Pleased with MPG, 20.8 doing mostly suburban driving.
Highway is 25-28 mpg.
20" Pirellis have been a bear.
Road hazards find these tires.
Comfortable to drive, BMW & Porsche much better.
MMI is a mess. Too complicated, many submenus, knobs etc.
Handling is betters by BMW and Porsche.

While I love the car overall, one big watch out is an issues with MMI equipped cars with their standard sound system that intermittently sends a very loud, starting boom noise. The sound will cut out for up to a minute and then play normally until the next time. It can happen infrequently or several times in a day.
If you are considering purchasing this vehicle beware of this major, unresolved issue. I have heard that several other models have the same issue. Audi stalled on acknowledging the issue for about 6 months and still does not have a fix. It is believed to be software related.

Aviator blue with brown interior.
Love the way it handles, gets lots of looks, looks nicer than a BMW 5 series and Benz E class.
Very quick off the line and top end.
The four rings in my opinion has out done Lexus, BMW and Mercedes.

Only have the car for a week. Overall it is a great car, but, not designed for a "portly elderly man" as it is a bit difficult to get in and out particularly if you have bad knees! Once in the car everything is fine.
Traded a 2010 Lincoln MKT which developed rattles after only a year or so. It also had "Unintended Acceleration"! Yes, it accelerated when I didn't intend it to do so! Dealer would not acknowledge or fix the problem. After more than a dozen incidents, I know it was NOT me!

When the lease was up on my 2010 Acura TL (which coincidentally was my 3rd TL in a row), I decided it was time to explore other options in luxury performance sedans.
I test drove some of the usual suspects (BMW 528x and 535x, Cadillac CTS), as well as some lower priced options (Ford Taurus SHO, Chrysler 300C), before ultimately deciding on my 2103 A6 3.0T prestige. I decided to skip Mercedes (too stodgy), and Lexus (too plain) so that made the decision even easier.
Every time I sit down in this car it brings a huge smile to my face and its sexy good looks turn heads everywhere I go!
If you want a beautiful, fun sedan that you won't see parked beside you at the mall then the A6 is for you!

We have driven entry level luxury cars for years (Infiniti G, Acura TL, BMW 335).
We looked at these again recently when trading in our 335xi coupe - nothing special or exciting.
The new BMW was downright expensive with any nice options.
We looked at the Audi A4, A5, A6.
The A6 has everything - great price, great economy, great interior, and the dealership was much better than our Seinfeldesque BMW dealer. We had to get the A6 and have not regretted it.

I owned a 2006 A4, and just traded in my 2012 Audi Q5 in on my new 2013 Audi A6 2.0T Quattro. I loved my Q5.(I was scared of the decrease of value since the 2013 facelift.)
I have had this car a little over a week, and driving it feels safe and exciting. The car handles brilliant. The engine would trick your mind if you didn't know it was a 4cyl. It really feels like a 6 cyl. I was really tossed up between the E350 and this and I am glad I choose the A6. I also love the dynamic & comfort switching feature.

I reviewed and tested the 5 series, e class and the jag but decides that the A6 was the next car for me.
The interior, technology and price won me over.
I have the car about a month already and am 100% sure i made the right choice.
I recomend the A6 to anyone looking at a midsize car in the $50k range.

I had a chance to test drive the 2012 Jag XF and the BMW 535 and 550. I opted out of Mercedes finding the styling of the E-class too uninspiring. the A6 which in my mind was perfect. The car is easy to maneuver at low speeds which the steering tightening up at higher speeds. The build quality is impeccable. The styling is more forward thinking than that of MB and Lexus. The LEDs set the car apart as does that Bang and Olufsen sound system. I found the Audi MMI very intuitive and actually fun to operate. The A6 3.0t is a fast engine with a transmission and chassis that makes it feel like the car is hardly working at high speeds. Plain and simple, it puts a smile on my face every day.

2010 NL West Fantasy Preview
Manny Ramirez had a horrible second half of the season last year.
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network)
- With a little less than a week remaining until the umpire yells "play ball" for the first time in 2010, we continue our travels around the six divisions, looking for interesting players and fantasy situations.
In Part Five of six we head to the National League Western Division.
Los Angeles
- In a rarity, the question marks surround the club's veterans, not its core of youngsters. Matt Kemp (ADP 7.3), Andre Ethier (ADP 58.2) and James Loney (ADP 139.4) should continue to improve and produce. The most important fantasy questions involve shortstop Rafael Furcal, outfielder Manny Ramirez and catcher Russell Martin. Furcal battled through back pain last year and his numbers showed it. It's possible that he'll never return to his 2003-06 form. Ramirez had a horrible second half of the season after returning from a 50-game drug suspension. Was that a coincidence? Fantasy owners apparently don't think so because his current ADP is 76.9, or a seventh-round pick. For a guy who hit 37 HR and knocked in 121 runs just two years ago, that's a huge drop. He could be a bargain if he returns to "Manny being Manny." Martin might be the most difficult fantasy decision this year. If he is the .290 hitting catcher who steals 20 bases, he's extremely valuable, but if he is last year's disappointment, then he's not worthy of a starting spot in your lineup. I don't like that he's batting near the bottom of the Dodgers lineup, or that he already suffered a groin injury slowing his ability to run and tend to think he's going to have a year similar to 2009.
- The most exciting player on the Rockies, outside of Troy Tulowitzki (ADP 12.5) is leadoff hitter Carlos Gonzalez. Obtained in the Matt Holliday deal, Gonzalez (ADP 122.9) showed glimpses of what he can do by hitting 13 homers and stealing 16 bases in just 278 at-bats last year. Assuming a full season of work, he's a 25-30 guy waiting to happen who can be chosen with just a 10th-round pick. That would make him a top candidate for the 2010 TSN Best Bargain Award. Do you know how many second basemen hit more than the 23 homers Clint Barmes hit and stole at least a dozen bases as he did? Three, yet Barmes is being selected in the 25th-round, if at all. He is an inexpensive solution to your second base position that leaves you plenty of money to use elsewhere. Brad Hawpe (ADP 138.3) had an All-Star first half (OPS .973) and a poor second half (OPS .813). Overall he should be good for 80 runs, 25 HR, 85 RBI and a .290 batting average which makes him a good choice in the 12th round where he is being selected. I might be tempted to pick him a little sooner than that.
San Francisco
- The Giants pitching staff has plenty of fantasy-worthy talent, not limited to just Tim Lincecum (ADP 13.7), Matt Cain (ADP 89.2) and closer Brian Wilson (ADP 131.9). There is also Jonathan Sanchez and youngster Madison Bumgarner who will start the year in Fresno, but shouldn't stay there for very long. Offensively, the team struggles to score runs, but the addition of Aubrey Huff and Mark DeRosa can't hurt. Pablo Sandoval (ADP 28.7) was a star last year when he was catcher-eligible, but unless your league allows that with just three games played, his value will drop a little as only a third or first baseman. Bengie Molina had solid numbers last year at catcher, but beware the Giants have a star in the minors just waiting for an opportunity to play (Buster Posey) and Molina could end up at first base or traded.
San Diego
- It's hard to find good fantasy value in the most pitching-friendly park in the majors, but Adrian Gonzalez has put up great numbers despite the "handicap." Too bad he doesn't have any help. On the other hand, whenever you need a pitcher, starting in Petco Park can always help which explains why even on the Padres mediocre staff, you will see at least three pitchers drafted (Kevin Correia, Mat Latos, Heath Bell).
- The Diamondbacks are very young, very talented and play in a hitter- friendly park. Mark Reynolds (ADP 31.5) is that rare combination of 40+ HR power and speed, but he scares you with his strikeout total which would be great for a pitcher, 200+, but isn't very pretty for a third baseman. The best player on the D'backs is Justin Upton (ADP 18.5) who doesn't yet have Reynolds' power, but should be a 30-30 guy this year with a .300 batting average. Stephen Drew (ADP 142.4) took a step backwards in 2009, but in the leadoff role for this lineup should do well enough to make his being picked in the 11th round worthwhile. I'm not ready to jump on the Miguel Montero (ADP 110.9) just yet, I've seen too many players have a good half or 3/4 of a season. At this point I'd still rather have Kurt Suzuki (ADP 136.4) or Jorge Posada (ADP 145.5). Late selections of Adam LaRoche or Conor Jackson have some upside. LaRoche is a consistent 25 HR guy and Jackson is a solid .300 hitter if he has recovered from his bout with Valley Fever.
