Transport Options
Marathon / Half Marathon
Due to traffic congestion on the North Shore from participants accessing the start line in Devonport, we strongly recommend that you consider utilising the chartered pre-race services of the Ferry or Bus to get to the Marathon and Half Marathon start (see Ferry/Bus Tickets below).
Should you choose to use your own vehicle to get to the start, please allow plenty of time, and remember there is minimal public parking for participants in Devonport.
Rail and Bus Transport to Downtown Auckland City
No public transport (bus or train) into downtown Auckland City exists before 7.00am on Sunday 2 November. Private car is the only option to get into Auckland City for the Quarter Marathon and 5km Challenge start if you live in Central, Eastern, Western or Southern parts of Auckland.
Auckland Transport has confirmed that public buses are timetabled to travel every 15 minutes (from 7:30am) from Britomart to Akoranga Bus Station (Quarter Marathon start area) on Sunday 2 November 2014.
The MAXX timetable is below for the 7045 Northern Express that leaves from outside Britomart (Downtown Centre side of road) every 15 minutes from 7:30am on Sunday 2 November 2014 and heads to Akoranga Bus Station. There is a temporary bus stop on ASB Auckland Marathon day at Fred Thomas Drive which is a short walk to the bus station where Quarter Marathon starts as the Station closed for the event.
AUT Akoranga campus will have all-day car parking (payment required) for those wanting to use their private cars which is a short walk across motorway airbridge to Quarter Marathon start area.
Ferry Tickets
- Marathon and Half Marathon participants can purchase a $8.00 one-way ferry ticket from Auckland city/Birkenhead/Bayswater to ferry the start line in Devonport.
- Due to the pre-race ferry sailings being a chartered service and the need to ensure boarding is as efficient as possible, a different ticket system (wristband) is used for these sailings.
- Because of this and the pressure to process approx 7,000 people onto the ferries in a limited time NO OTHER FULLERS ISSUED TICKETS WILL BE ACCEPTED FOR THESE SAILINGS. Please purchase your unique charter ticket (wristband) when entering the event.
- Ferry ticket wristbands MUST be purchased when completing your online entry/paper entry form.
- Tickets are limited to 7,000 passengers travelling from Auckland City across to Devonport and will be sold on a first come first served basis.
- Wristband tickets are only valid for the event day pre-race sailings. You cannot use your wristband to return to Devonport after the event. You will need to purchase a standard Fullers ticket for this purpose.
- Supporters tickets (there and back) are also available for purchase online or by paper entry as well (see below).
- Wristbands and supporter's tickets will only be available for purchase at the Registration & Expo if they have not sold out prior.
- Ferry and Bus tickets purchased are non-refundable so please choose carefully.
Important note: Please be aware that your unique charter ticket (wristband) cannot be used on standard Fullers Ferry services. It is only valid for the event day pre-race sailings to get participants and their support to Devonport. You cannot return to Devonport with this wristband ticket after the event, you will need to purchase a standard Fullers ticket from Fullers for this purpose.
Supporters Tickets
Participants can purchase Supporters Tickets for $16.00 each when completing their online/paper entry form. The supporter receives a wrist band to take them on the pre-race sailing from Auckland City (or Birkenhead/Bayswater) to Devonport, and a standard ticket for each supporter to return back to Auckland City (not to Birkenhead/Bayswater) after the start. The return ferry will leave on a 7.00am (sharp) chartered sailing after the Marathon start back to Auckland City or on the first sailing of the standard Fullers service at 7.30am.

In the Next Industrial Revolution, Atoms Are the New Bits
- |
- 12:00 pm |
- Permalink
Not long ago, all this was impossible. To see how it used to be back in the 20th century, watch the movie Flash of Genius. The film, which is based on a true story, starts in the mid-1960s and tells the sad tale of the invention of the intermittent windshield wiper. A lone inventor — college professor Bob Kearns — tinkers in his basement until he finally creates a working prototype. Rather than sell the technology to a big car company, Kearns decides he wants to build his own company and make the wiper himself. Ford signs on to install Kearns' wipers in one of its new models. That means he needs to build a factory. He leases a huge warehouse and starts outfitting it with assembly lines, forklift loaders, and other heavy equipment — a classic industrial-age scene.
How to Build Your Dream
In the age of democratized industry, every garage is a potential micro-factory, every citizen a potential micro-entrepreneur. Here's how to transform a great idea into a great product.
As Kearns is getting close to firing up his facility, Ford abruptly backs out of the deal. With no revenue in sight, the factory shuts down before producing a single wiper.
Eighteen months later, Kearns is walking home in the rain and sees a brand new Ford Mustang turn the corner. The windshield wiper sweeps, then pauses, then sweeps again. His brilliant idea has been stolen. Kearns is ruined and will soon go mad, thus the rest of the movie. (The real-life Kearns eventually sued Ford and Chrysler for patent infringement and, after years of litigation, won nearly $30 million.)
Today, Kearns would do it differently. As before, he would have made the first prototype in his basement. But rather than building a factory, he would have had the electronics fabbed by one company and the enclosure made by another. He then would have paid a wiper manufacturer in China to create a custom assembly with these components. They would have shipped straight to his customers, the car companies, and the whole process would have happened in months, not years — too fast for big companies to beat him. No factory, no lawsuits, no madness. He could have fulfilled his dream of turning his invention into a company without tilting at windmills.
To see this model emerging in the real world, you need only visit TechShop, a chain of DIY workspaces that offer access to state-of-the-art prototyping tools for around $100 a month.
On a recent afternoon at the facility in Menlo Park, California, Michael Pinneo, a successful former executive in the synthetic-diamond business, is machining a vapor- deposition chamber for his newest approach to creating colorless diamonds. Over in the corner stands the base of a rocket lander being developed by a team that's competing in the Google Lunar X Prize. At another table, Stephan Weiss, vice president of Interoptix, and one of his colleagues are assembling circuit boards used to manage electricity grids. They're doing 50-unit runs, which Weiss describes as "too small for a factory but too big for your garage." The devices carry the badge of ABB, a giant engineering firm; the utility customers may never know that they were made by hand in a hackerspace.
This is an incubator for the atoms age. When TechShop founder Jim Newton went looking for an executive to run it, he quickly decided on Mark Hatch, a former Kinko's executive. The analogy is apt: In the same way that Kinko's democratized printing and, in the process, created a national chain of service bureaus, TechShop wants to democratize manufacturing. It now has two additional locations, in Durham, North Carolina, and Beaverton, Oregon, and has plans for hundreds more. One of the spots being considered is San Francisco, within the facilities of the much-shrunken San Francisco Chronicle. The irony is delicious: the seeds of tomorrow's industry growing in the ashes of yesterday's.
Over lunch, Hatch reflects on the arc of manufacturing history. With the rise of the factory in the industrial age, Karl Marx fretted that a tradesman could no longer afford the tools to ply his trade. The economies of scale of industrial production crowded out the individual. Although the benefits of such industrialization were lower prices and better products, the cost was homogeneity. Combined with big-box retailers, the marketplace became increasingly dominated by the fruits of mass production: goods designed for everyone, with the resulting limited diversity and choice that implies.
But today those tools of production are getting so cheap that they are once again within the reach of many individuals. State-of-the-art milling machines that once cost $150,000 are now close to $4,000, thanks to Chinese copies. Everybody's garage is a potential high tech factory. Marx would be pleased.
Blogger Jason Kottke wrestled with what to call this new class of entrepreneurship, these cottage industries with global reach targeting niche markets of distributed demand. "Boutique" is too pretentious, and "indie" not quite right. He observed that others had suggested "craftsman, artisan, bespoke, cloudless, studio, atelier, long tail, agile, bonsai company, mom and pop, small scale, specialty, anatomic, big heart, GTD business, dojo, haus, temple, coterie, and disco business." But none seemed to capture the movement.
So he proposed "small batch," a term most often applied to bourbon. In the spirits world, this implies handcrafted care. But it can broadly refer to businesses focused more on the quality of their products than the size of the market. They'd rather do something they were passionate about than go mass. And these days, when anyone can get access to manufacturing and distribution, that is actually a viable choice. Walmart, and all the compromise that comes with it, is no longer the only path to success.
For a final example of that, swing to the Seattle suburbs to meet Will Chapman of BrickArms. Out of a small industrial space, BrickArms fills gaps in the Lego product line, going where the Danish toy giant fears to tread: hardcore weaponry, from Lego-scale AK-47s to frag grenades that look like they came straight out of Halo 3. The parts are more complex than the average Lego component, but they're manufactured to an equal quality and sold online to thousands of Lego fans, kids and adults, who want to create cooler scenes than the standard kits allow.

review of dc america got290-gg 11.6'x11.6' gazebo top
Very pleased. Have always had the beige color but got the green this time, we are very glad. The green seems to blend in with all the green in the yard and feel cooler for some reason. The material is not as thick as the original top but holds up well and is worth the price. Even better we didn't have to buy a whole new gazebo.

[Re-brand Concept] This was my first attempt at changing the brand of a sports news company based in Venezuela. Please let me know what you think. (self.design_critiques)
submitted 1 year ago by blu3sclu3s
Their newspaper and website looked so outdated so I decided to change it up a bit. I tried to go with a flat design since it's the style that's trending now here in the US and it would out them ahead of its competitors as far as look and readability go.

Love the new feel, but there's something very dry and business-like about the main logo. The publication seems to be centered around sports, and the world of sports is very exciting, fast-paced and colorful. If you could do something to make the letters jump a bit more and have more character (maybe a well-placed serif or some kind of very subtle depth?), I think that would tie it all together well.
Overall, your whole re-design is much cleaner and easier to read than the old one. awesome!

Shadowing around people in sports photos is really really weird.
[–]inazuma 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I like the new logo, the concept, and everything, but it is missing energy/character. Maybe it's a matter of color? The nameplate comes off like a generic catalogue as a result.
At the very least you have a solid concept to build off of in the future. Consider sending the editor/design director of the news org a link to this and see what they think when you flesh it out more!
And this is a comment unrelated to your project but more of a sentiment with online news media: I wish they took more chances in their layouts and designs. It just feels so static and boring with little interaction (or if there is any, it's very standard). Applications too, to some extent.
[–]b0x0rz 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
much better than the original. however you really need to allow for more ad space on the front. i am sure that will be the first objection.
also the line bellow the logo is nah... not sure why, just does not fit. i would keep it on the front cover but NOT on the logo.
as for the previous comments, if the people writing for the paper are dry and informative rather than exciting and opinionated i'd leave it (the logo) as is. otherwise, yes it needs more excitement.

The 7-Minute Marriage Solution
Till Death Do Us Part …
Secret Number Five: The more fun you have out of the bed, the more fun you are likely to have in the bed. To say the least sex can be very tricky for a lot of couples. They get bored with it or it becomes too much effort. Desire dies and they can end up in a sexless marriage where even a good friendship is difficult to maintain. The best way to draw the two of you together in bed is to be creative with your relationship. Fun and romance have to be planned. They don't just come naturally. You have to put forth some effort.

The Orchards at 7,306 yards, 74.5 handicap rating, and 136 slope from the tips with three shorter tees, the Orchards is everything you can handle. The course was designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr in 1993, and is part of an overall community development, although the housing doesn't infringe on the golf course.
The course weaves its way through trees and apple orchards, with rolling terrain, large greens which accept the run up shot, and heavy bunkering.
It helps to have a range finder or have played here several times if you want to experience the maximum enjoyment. Most holes require a decision ("Will my drive reach that hazard/bunker?") and a well placed shot. This is not a course for higher handicappers or those troubled by the occasional sprayed tee shot. The maintenance in July, 2012, was excellent. I personally would not put this in the top 3 courses for Metro Detroit but it certainly is a nice layout - and one that you will pay a top dollar.
The Orchards is might be the best public golf course in the Detroit area with Shepherd's Hollow and The Majestic close seconds. We're 15 handicappers and love playing the course, it seems more playable and fair for our level of play, but is challenging for the better golfers from the longer tees. The best feature is the ability to run the ball up to most greens, but there are almost 100 bunkers, so you need accuracy to score well, but the wide fairways and rough that is somewhat low or and not gnarly, help make it more forgiving as well. The front side is parkland style with some forced carries, while the back is more open, meadow-like, and much more enjoyable. Even though it's a development courses, there's only a few houses visible from the course, would highly recommend.
Very well managed golf course, both in the clubhouse, and out on the course where it really counts. Conditions excellent, pace of play, just under 4.5 hours, cart girl twice, the only other thing I needed was my golf game. This course will allow you to score, and doesn't ovely penalize you unless you're really off line. Nice mix of different types of holes and strategy, some risk/reward, an overall excellent experience.
Except for a couple of holes, the front 9 is pretty tight, with OB right or trouble on the right on nearly every hole. The back 9 opens up quite a bit and you should be able to score better than on the front. You go under Campground road to the back I love the Orchards, but usually only play it off season. During the fall they have excellent rates at $40 on the weekend, and if you go through something like LastMinuteGolfer.com, which the Orchards participates, and I've gotten weekday deals in the fall as low as $20 a man with cart!!!

Love is when you can't stop thinking about them,
when you hear their voice inside your head.
You can tell it's them just by their scent.
When you want a picture of just the two of you,
so they can always "be with you".
Love is when you call them
just to talk about anything; just to hear their voice.
When you worry about them if something happens,
when they cheer you up by giving you a hug
or just staying by your side.
Love is being able to read their eyes.
You can see when they're happy,
and help them when they're sad.
When you don't need to talk to each other,
because your eyes talk for the two of you.
Heartbreak is when you cry
because you can't stop thinking about them.
When you wish you had a picture
just to be able to say "that was us..."
Heartbreak is when you miss their phone calls
and their warm random hugs.
When both know you miss the other
Just because of the pain in your eyes.
Love is having, heartbreak is missing.

Michelle Obama's White House garden is a growing success
The first lady's popular garden on the White House lawn attracts attention from international leaders and everyday Americans, who are following her example.
Alex Brandon/AP
To Michelle Obama, her White House garden is more than a plot of land. It's also a soapbox.
The South Lawn garden has given Mrs. Obama a platform to speak out about the country's childhood obesity problem, extol the benefits of eating fresh food, and teach children early to appreciate vegetables.
It also has offered Mrs. Obama another way to open the White House to people who don't normally visit.
The garden now is ready for winter, fitted with protective coverings called "hoop houses," a kind of temporary green house, to help keep various crops — spinach, cauliflower, lettuce, carrots, cabbage, and other greens — growing during the cold months.
In its first year, aides say the garden has ex-"seeded" expectations. It's become so popular that even foreign dignitaries ask Mrs. Obama about it when they meet. Crops have been donated to a neighborhood soup kitchen, and the first lady's green thumb has inspired others to start gardening, too.
Local fifth-graders whose public school has a similar garden helped prepare the plot, plant the crops, and harvest the produce. They even were brought into the White House kitchen to cook some of the food and experience what eating "fresh" tastes like.
During the first lady's recent visit to "Sesame Street" to help Elmo and some kids plant vegetable seeds, Big Bird asked if he had heard correctly that she eats seeds. Not exactly, she replied, but "I do eat what grows from these seeds." She encourages the kids to eat all their vegetables, telling them that if they do, they'll "grow up to be big and strong just like me."
The garden also inspired a culinary showdown on an episode of "Iron Chef America." Filmed partly at the White House, the contest paired White House chef

Statements from city, state officials on Rader's guilty plea
The following statement was issued Monday afternoon by Wichita Police Chief Norman Williams:
"The Wichita Police Department and BTK Task Force members are satisfied that justice has been served with today's guilty plea. I was very confident in the investigation that was conducted by the BTK Task Force, and in the solid case that was presented to the District Attorney against Dennis Rader.
"Perhaps today's events will bring some closure for the families and friends of Mr. Rader's victims, and for the citizens of Wichita.
"We must keep all the families in our thoughts and prayers and hope that they can someday find some peace in their hearts with the untimely loss of their loved ones."
The following statement was issued Monday morning by Wichita Mayor Carlos Mayans:
"On behalf of the city of Wichita, we are pleased with the guilty plea entered today by Dennis Rader.
"Our hearts go out to the family members of the victims and to the family of Dennis Rader. Our prayers are with them. We hope that the healing can begin, and that we can close the book on BTK and start a new chapter in our community.
"I want to thank the Wichita Police Department, the KBI, the FBI, the Sedgwick County District Attorney's Office and all who worked diligently to help bring Dennis Rader to justice.
"It has been a trying time for this community, since BTK s re-emergence 16 months ago, but prayers have been answered."
The following statement was issued Monday morning by Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline:
"Wichita's three decade nightmare has come to an end thanks to the vigilance of a community and the dedicated and passionate devotion to justice of the Wichita Police Department, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and many others.
"Justice alone cannot bring healing to the evil Mr. Rader has wrought. However, justice can give us hope — the hope that if we ever individually or collectively face injustice, those dedicated to the cause of justice will answer the call as they have in this case.
"My thoughts and prayers continue to be with the surviving victims of this evil and my appreciation and gratitude are given to the men and women of law enforcement."
The following statement was issued Monday afternoon by Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius:
"This guilty plea is a testament to the hard work of law enforcement and prosecutors, and I hope and pray it will provide some measure of solace and closure to the victims' families."

Thousands of people marched in Moscow today in a rally to honour the murdered opposition leader Boris Nemtsov as it emerged that the man named to investigate his death is a Putin loyalist with a history of intimidating the press. Mr Nemtsov, a former deputy prime minister and a vociferous critic of President Putin, was shot dead on the Moskvoretsky Bridge near the Kremlin on Friday. Today his supporters marched to the spot where he was killed. According to reports, about 30,000 people turned out to pay tribute to Mr Nemtsov, 55, who had been planning an opposition rally today. Mourners of all ages held up portraits in the rally, while a few displayed Ukrainian flags. Others held placards with slogans such as "He died for the future of Russia" and "They were afraid of you, Boris". Before the march Gennady Gudkov, another opposition leader said: "If w
Mohammed Emwazi, the Briton who killed for Islamic State, said he felt "like a dead man walking" under surveillance in the UK before he escaped to join the extremists in Syria. In a series of emails sent to a journalist in 2010, Emwazi said he had considered suicide after a meeting with a man he became convinced was a British spy. The militant dubbed "Jihadi John" before his real identity was revealed, said that he had thought of killing himself to allow him to escape from British intelligence and "sleep for ever". Robert Verkaik, the Mail on Sunday security correspondent, said that his email exchange with Emwazi showed that in his final years in Britain he suffered from a "persecution complex" and a "warped sense of injustice". The exchange of emails came to light as reports indicated that Emwazi was known to have been a member of a London terroris
Ed Miliband has been warned that his cast-iron promise to cut university fees will be vetoed by the Lib Dems as part of any power-sharing deal. In a move that risks further alienating student voters, Ed Davey, the climate change secretary and a potential Lib Dem leader, said his party would simply refuse to implement the £3,000-a-year cut if in government. The Labour leader finally announced his intention to slash annual tuition fees from £9,000 to £6,000 last week, after weeks of internal wrangling. The move would be funded by a £2.9 billion tax raid on wealthy people saving for their pensions. It came as Liam Byrne, the shadow universities minister, appeared to concede that a so-called "graduate tax" would be a fairer way to fund universities in the long term. He said those graduates who went on to poorer-paid jobs could be asked to pay a lower rate tha

WASHINGTON (AP) — There's a growing sense of resignation that the country's political leaders will be unable or unwilling to find a way around looming automatic spending cuts despite fresh signs the cuts would threaten the recovering economy.
On one side are conservative Republicans, outnumbered and frustrated, who see the painfully large cuts as leverage in their battle to force Democrats into concessions on the budget. On the other side are President Barack Obama and his Democratic allies, who are pressing to replace some of the cuts with new tax revenues.
The predictable deadlock — and looming cuts of $85 billion this budget year alone — has the potential to slam the economy, produce sweeping furloughs and layoffs at federal agencies and threatens hundreds of thousands of private sector jobs.
The cuts would shrink the Pentagon budget by 7 percent and force most domestic agencies to absorb a 5 percent cut concentrated in the last half of the budget year.
Just last year, GOP leaders were among the loudest voices warning of dire consequences for the military and the economy if more than $100 billion in cuts across the board went into effect. Now, even as defense hawks fume, Republicans see the strategy as their best chance of wringing cuts from costly government benefit programs like Medicare that Obama and his Democratic allies in Congress have been reluctant to touch.
The move is fraught with risk. Some $43 billion would be cut from the Pentagon budget between March and October if battling Democrats and Republicans can't agree on an alternative. Equal cuts would hit domestic programs, although the health care programs that are major drivers of future deficits are largely exempt.
"Talk about letting the sequester kick in, as though that were an acceptable thing, belies where Republicans were on this issue not that long ago," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said Wednesday. "This is sort of political brinksmanship of the kind that results in one primary victim, and that's American taxpayers — the American middle class."
The automatic cuts, known as a "sequester" in Washington-speak, are the penalty for the failures of the 2011 deficit "supercommittee" and subsequent rounds of budget talks to produce an agreement.
Along with the threatened expiration of Bush-era tax cuts, the spending cuts were a major element of the so-called fiscal cliff crisis that gripped the country at the new year. While most of the tax cuts — except for upper-bracket income — were made permanent, negotiators could only agree on a two-month reprieve to the sequester after finding $24 billion in replacement money that reduced this year's round of cuts from $109 billion to $85 billion. Eight more years of cuts, totaling almost $1 trillion, still remain.
The austerity, economists say, would slow down the economy. Under a formula by the Congressional Budget Office, a $43 billion cut in defense spending could cost 300,000 jobs this year.
"In terms of the political dynamic here, defense spending is only 20 percent of the federal budget, but it's taking 50 percent of the cuts, which means it's going to be hitting the Republicans a lot harder than the Democrats," said defense analyst Loren Thompson of the Lexington Institute think tank.

TEMPE, Ariz. — The Arizona Cardinals have placed Levi Brown on injured reserve, meaning the big left tackle won't play this season.
Brown tore his right triceps in the preseason victory over Oakland a week ago and underwent surgery this week.
The Cardinals also released a dozen players, including cornerback Marshay Green. In addition, Arizona waived-injured running back Thomas Clayton (knee) and fullback Jared Crank (neck).
The moves get Arizona to the 75-man roster limit required of NFL teams by Monday.
TEMPE, Ariz. — Arizona Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt says he's not quite ready to name a starting quarterback but indicates a decision could come soon.
Speaking at his usual day-after news conference on Friday, Whisenhunt said he would think about it over the weekend and when he's asked about it again early next week, he should have more information.
John Skelton and Kevin Kolb have been competing for the job, and neither has been outstanding. Skelton started Thursday night's 32-27 loss at Tennessee and completed 4 of 10 passes for 41 yards and was intercepted once. Kolb saw more extensive action and was 17 of 22 for 156 yards, including his first TD pass of the preseason. But he was intercepted twice, with one of them returned for a touchdown.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — A tad bit taller and Chris Gronkowski might have been a tight end like his brothers.
Instead, he's the rare fullback lining up in a Peyton Manning backfield.
Typically, Manning doesn't operate out of a two-back system. But the Denver Broncos are adding all sorts of wrinkles to the offensive scheme this season, even pairing tailback Willis McGahee with Gronkowski on occasion.
It could be a gainful duo, especially in short-yardage situations.
And then there's always this: Gronkowski can catch the ball, too. He does come from a family of pass catchers led by his younger brother, Rob, who set an NFL single-season record for tight ends last year with 17 TD receptions for New England. His older brother, Dan, also is a tight end, for Cleveland.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — A certain Denver Broncos quarterback has taken quite a liking to rookie running back Ronnie Hillman.
So much so that Peyton Manning frequently hauls Hillman over to an adjacent field in the middle of practice, just to work on their timing.
Hillman is eager to get up to speed with Manning even if the tailback can't quite go full throttle right now.
The speedy third-round pick has been hobbled for a good portion of camp by a bothersome right hamstring. And what he's quickly discovering is that no matter how fast he is on the field, he can't rush back from this injury — no matter how badly he wants to.
The Broncos (No. 10 in the AP Pro32) have big plans for Hillman, too.
ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Mikel Leshoure knows that the Oakland Raiders are going to hit him hard Saturday night.
He can't wait.
Sixteen months after being drafted by the Detroit Lions and almost two years after his last game, Leshoure is expected to take the field for the first time as a pro in Oakland. He missed his entire rookie season with the Lions after tearing his left Achilles tendon during training camp.
With Jahvid Best (concussion) expected to miss the start of the regular season, the Lions need Leshoure to step up and take some pressure off Matthew Stafford, Calvin Johnson and Detroit's high-energy passing attack.
Leshoure missed the first two exhibition games with a hamstring problem, so the running game has consisted of Kevin Smith, Keiland Williams and Joique Bell.

His attorney has confirmed this website to be true and in fact his. He wrote a statement saying that he had no knowledge of the other sites that are collecting monies on his behalf, but does confirm that this site and Paypal account are indeed his. He also gives indication that he is no longer working, but that could just mean a leave of absence. He was also expelled from the college he attended. Things like this happen when you walk around stalking and then murdering someone's child.
This is the first indication that he does in fact know or feels that he will be arrested. IMO The full statement form his site reads:
I am the real George Zimmerman,
On Sunday February 26th, I was involved in a life altering event which led me to become the subject of intense media coverage. As a result of the incident and subsequent media coverage, I have been forced to leave my home, my school, my employer, my family and ultimately, my entire life. This website's sole purpose is to ensure my supporters they are receiving my full attention without any intermediaries.It has come to my attention that some persons and/or entities have been collecting funds, thinly veiled as my "Defense Fund" or "Legal Fund". I cannot attest to the validity of these other websites as I have not received any funds collected, intended to support my family and I through this trying, tragic time.
I have created a Paypal account solely linked on this website as I would like to provide an avenue to thank my supporters personally and ensure that any funds provided are used only for living expenses and legal defense, in lieu of my forced inability to maintain employment. I will also personally, maintain accountability of all funds received. I reassure you, every donation is appreciated.

Gmail users get control over their contact list
Google has wrested some control away from the Google Bot and given it to Gmail users, who now can set who will be on a preferred contacts list.
Google has revamped the contacts section of Gmail to let users decide who's on their A-list.
Gmail adds a contact entry for every e-mail you use, and previously showed either the full list or the "Most Contacted" subset Google chose. Now the service divides contacts into a "My Contacts" list that users can define and a "Suggested Contacts" list with everyone else.
Google announced the move on its Gmail blog on Thursday.
Automation still plays a part: The service can be set to automatically add to "My Contacts" anybody you send e-mail to more than five times.
