I bought a Glock 17, I liked it so much, that I bought a model 22 so I could have a .40 on the same frame and feel. They are both Gen 3. I adjusted the sights to the side on the 17, and it shoots right on for me now. Now the model 22 was shooting to one side the first two times I shot it (60 rounds). So I moved the sights over to compensate. Seemed over the next 70 rounds, the sights needed to slowly be moved back to where it originally was. Well that seems strange. Does the barrel kinda shift or get seated in against something after the first 100 rounfd?? I've heard people talk about breaking a barrel in on rifles, but never knew or understood what really happens?? Any If you guys tell me I'm crazy, or this is highly unlikely, thats OK, I may buy that. But please don't tell me it's my trigger finger. I paid very close attention to my finger. OK, that isn't a problem anyway right now. It's only got me curious. Now, the model 22 is shotting about 5 inches high for me at about 60 ft from target. My 17 shoots right on hieght-wise. I'm not any weaker in the wrist than anyone else. I know the .40 cal has more recoil than the 9mm. But 5" high at 60ft?? Whats your guys thoughts?? Is there any way to adjust sight height??

The short and simple answer is keep practicing.
I don't need No stinking signature.
Well since MM got that out of the way. Did you buy the g22 bc you wonted 2 glocks or just bc you wonted a .40 in the same frame? You know you can buy a conversion barrel for a g17 and shoot .40 with it and save some $.
I didn't know that they could swap barrels. I did know there was a couple models of glock, that you could, and 357 sig was a chioce also. However I still would have made the purchase. I'm glad you brought that up though. I was thinking of buying another 17 though. Then one can be kept in a designated place in house for any family member in case of need, and I'll still have my own. When you guys say practice, do you mean practice aiming 5 or 6" low?
Actually, you cannot convert a 9mm to a .40, you can convert a .40 to a 9mm, but not the other way around.
You can turn a 9mm glock into a .357 sig or .40. You can turn a .40 into 9mm or .357. You can turn .357 into 9mm or .40. Oh and you can turn them all into .22lr also. It is said .357sig and .40 can use the same mags and extractor. But it is advised to use 9mm mags and extractor if turning .357 or .40 into 9mm Or use .40 or .357 extractor if converting from 9mm to .40 or .357. The .22lr will come with a new slide I hope that isn't to confusing. http://www.lonewolfdist.com/products.aspx?CAT=241
Actually I thank you can putt a 22 slide on a 17 and it will work that way. I'm sure someone will be along to straighten it all out.
mmm OK, I'd like to know
Not that I want to drift from original questions. But correct me if I'm wrong. As far as clips go for the model 17 they make a 10.15, and 33 rounder. And for the model 22, they make a 10, 13. aM I wrong or missing any?

He is often credited with smoothing the MLBPA's relationship with baseball management. (Patrick McDermott/Getty ImagesMajor League Baseball Players' Association executive director Michael Weiner died Thursday after a 15-month battle with an inoperable brain tumor. He was 51 years old.Weiner took over as head of the players' association four years ago, succeeding Donald Fehr. He is credited with aiding in improving the union's relationship with baseball management.MLB Commissioner Bud Selig issued a statement announcing his death:"All of Major League Baseball mourns the loss of Michael Weiner, a gentleman, a family man, and an extraordinarily talented professional who earned the trust of his membership and his peers throughout the national pastime. Our strong professional relationship was built on a foundation of respect and a shared commitment to finding fair solutions for our industry. I appreciated Michael's tireless, thoughtful leadership of the Players and his pivotal role in the prosperous state of Baseball today."Michael was a courageous human being, and the final year of his remarkable life inspired so many people in our profession. On behalf of Major League Baseball and our 30 Clubs, I extend my deepest condolences to Michael's wife Diane, their three daughters, his colleagues at the MLBPA and his many friends and admirers throughout the game he served with excellence."Last summer, the players' association announced a succession plan that will have former big league All-Star Tony Clark taking over for Weiner as executive director.

Terrific thread, especially considering I wrote only ten or so paragraphs that said basically that I didn't know anything about economics and only time will tell whether Obama and the Democrats are right, or the Republicans are.
I continued to be impressed by the regulars who comment on the columns on Capitol Hill Blue.
I have opinions on many issues but only claim to have expertise in psychology, so reading comments like these is an education for me.

25 Va. Commonwealth
Richmond, VA (Sports Network) - Jay Gavin recorded a game-high 20 points as VCU toppled 17th-ranked Oklahoma, 82-69.
Larry Sanders posted 17 points and four assists for the Rams (2-1), who spoiled former head coach and current Oklahoma head man Jeff Capel's return to Richmond.
Tony Crocker had 19 points and Tiny Gallon added 15 points and 11 rebounds in the loss for the Sooners (2-1), who opened the season with wins over Mount St. Mary's and Louisiana-Monroe.
VCU jumped out to a quick leads of 5-0 and 16-6, eventually extending the advantage to 27-14 with a little more than eight minutes played on a trey by Sanders.
The bulge grew as much as 17 points with 4:35 to play in the half on a pair from the line by T.J. Gwynn, and a jumper from Willie Warren brought the Sooners back within 44-34 at the break.
Gavin's jumper and a three-point play by Sanders pushed VCU's lead to 49-34 two minutes into the second half, and Oklahoma was powerless to mount a comeback.
Sanders twice restored a 15-point advantage for the home club, first on a deuce with 13:05 to play for a 61-46 game, then on a dunk just after the midway point of the half to make it 68-53.
Gallon hit two from the line to cap a 10-4 burst which brought the Sooners within 10 at 77-67 with 1:16 to play, but the Rams hit their foul shots down the stretch to emerge victorious.

It was nice hot and sunny Sunday here in Valencia. The F1 race unfortunately turned out to be a procession, at least at the front. If not for Ferrari mess ups there would hardly be any excitement. Felipe Massa pulled away after the start of the race and Lewis Hamilton (to the delight of local fans here) was no match for him. Massa had a bit of a scare after his second pit stops, but he managed to keep clear from Sutil and went on to win the race. Hamilton settled for second. Kubica's 3rd place was never threatened by the other Ferrari and McLaren.
Kimi Raikkonen provided the excitement today. First he ran away with the refueling hose still attached to his car and ran over one of his crew members after his second pit stop. Then a while later his engine let go and the smoke covered the start finish line.

Lymphotoxin-beta receptor (LT beta R) is a member of tumor necrosis factor receptor family and plays essential roles in the embryonic development and organization of secondary lymphoid tissues. It binds two types of tumor necrosis factor family cytokines, heterotrimer LT alpha 1 beta 2 and homotrimer LIGHT, and activates multiple signaling pathways including transcriptional factor NF kappa B, c-Jun N-terminal kinase, and cell death. However, the molecular mechanism of the activation of these signaling pathways by LT beta R is not clear. Because there is no enzymatic activity associated with the receptor itself, the signal transduction of LT beta R is mediated by cytoplasmic proteins recruited to receptors. To identify these proteins, we took a proteomic approach. The endogenous LIGHT.LT beta R complex was affinity-purified from U937 cells, and proteins associated with the complex were identified by mass spectrometry. Four of five proteins identified, TRAF2, TRAF3, cIAP1, and Smac, are reported here. Their association with LT beta R was further confirmed by coimmunoprecipitation in U937 cells and HEK293 cells. The presence of cIAP1 and Smac in LIGHT.LT beta R complex revealed a novel mechanism of LIGHT.LT beta R-induced apoptosis.

Mavic R-Sys Road Wheelset - Clincher

Our Price: $999.99
Mavic lived up to its iconic name by building quality, durable, high-performance wheels. The latest iteration of the R-Sys Clincher Wheelset is the lightest and stiffest yet. Built to climb effortlessly, descend confidently and handle the roughest tarmac fathomable, the R-Sys wheelset will impress you at every turn. The most notable aspect of the R-Sys Wheels is the varied rim depth between the front and rear rim. The front rim on the R-Sys is only 22mm deep, essentially the same depth as an Open Pro rim. This makes it lighter, and it has the incidental advantage of being a more stable wheel in crosswinds and at high speeds on descents. The rear rim depth on the R-Sys is 25mm. The reasoning behind this is that it gives the rear wheel added rigidity and resistance to flex, which, according to Mavic, gives it superior power transfer. The R-Sys Wheelset also features aggressive Inter Spoke Milling (ISM) on the Maxtal aluminum rim. Mavic uses this technique to trim away the excess aluminum between the spoke threads and sidewalls. This removal of excess material shaves weight without affecting rigidity or strength. The R-Sys hubs are machined from a single piece of aluminum and feature slightly oversized aluminum axles for increased lateral stiffness. The hubs are also equipped with Mavic's QRM bearings that are double-sealed for longevity, and each hub allows for micro-fine preload adjustment. The aesthetically appealing tubular carbon fiber TraComp spokes distinguish the R-Sys group from the rest of the Mavic line. Their design is noteworthy in that they work in both tension and compression, a quality that gives the R-Sys wheelset unmatched lateral stability. Real-world translation: you'll descend with confidence and increased speed. The front wheel uses 16 of these carbon spokes while the rear has 10 on the non-drive side. They're too large to be used on the rear drive-side; 10 bladed Zicral aluminum spokes go here instead. Using this few spokes means a very ...

First, we'll start with a confession. We still don't get Twitter. There, we said it. Feel free to retweet that. But Tumblr: now that's social media of a different seduction.
Working our way through our twitter feed — the #s, the @s, the FFs, the RTs — we often feel like we're trying to crack the Enigma code. Scrolling through Tumblr, on the other hand, feels like lazing through a lovely coffee table book on a Sunday afternoon. Pure pleasure.
Here's why: Tumblr is all image (see images from our archive above), with little if any text. Simply browse through a ticker tape of pictures — speed past some, pause on others, reblog your favorites. There's no better way to check the visual zeitgeist.
Here are four other Tumblr blogs we particularly enjoy following:
She also posted this picture of Steve McQueen's driving license (above), an image emblematic of Tumblr's appeal: random, intriguing, deeply stylish.
2. The super-celeb as someone-just-like-us (if we regularly stepped from yachts in the Med to suites at the Splendido Hotel): Beyonce's new tumblr (above) has a freshness and spontaneity you don't normally associate with a celebrity who trademarked the name of her first child.
3. The quirky photographer: Eric Telchin, of Boy Sees Hearts (above), has taken pictures of found objects that look like hearts, and who isn't cheered by this intimate view of the world where love is there if only we look carefully enough?
4. The absurdly funny: if you haven't already jumped aboard Texts from Hillary — fictional texts where the Secretary always gets the delicious last word — you have a treat in store (above). Even Hills herself can't resist it, and actually texted the creators themselves.
Those are some of our faves, but we'd love to hear which Tumblr blogs you follow, too!

I run a wide range of terrain from sand to rocky. This tire is quickly wearing out after only about 180 miles since new. I can't say that it hooks up supremely, either. The front matching tire is a full 3/8 narrower than the same size Pirelli mid-hard. It's twitchy like a pizza cutter wheel. I won't buy these ever again. I'm not a spin the tires kind of rider, either. I like to hook up and ride smooth. Sand...well, that can't be helped.

This set of Anakee's replaced a set of Anakee II's that finally wore out. The grip is great on road and wet conditions and sufficient for dirt roads and trails. Mileage has been good so far with about 4000 mile on the set with minimal wear. I ride two up and the tires provide a good ride and grip in the corners Good choice for the V Strom and performs sufficiently off road within the limits of the motorcycle. Will be installing a second set for an upcoming Baja trip.

I put a set of these on my BMW 1200 GSA. I got 4000 more miles out of them than the knobbys or tourance. These things grip great on the pavement and will stop on a dime. I go offroad and have plenty of traction. Absolutely love these tires.

From reading the newspaper to paying bills, you can do just almost everything online these days, but for senior citizens, living in a paperless society can be very challenging.
Judi Baker is fed up. Starting next month, she'll have to pay $1.50 to get a paper copy of her cell phone bill. "To me it's ridiculous that you have to pay in order to get your bill sent to you."
T-mobile offers customers other payment options, but Baker says snail mail is her only option. "I have no computer, I'm not computer savvy, I'm homebound, and I don't have access to a computer, I can't get to their office to pay."
As the world quickly moves digital, Baker is not the only senior citizen having trouble keeping up.
"I think it's hard for senior citizens to adapt and make those changes; young people are growing up with computers, it's normal for them, it's very abnormal for seniors," said Beth Wooten of the Wilmington Senior Center.
UNCW aging professor Kelli Fellows says companies should accommodate the elderly. "When we're saying okay you have to use the internet, you have to pay your bills on here, then it removes their notion of choice and for aging populations choice is very important, because as they get older their choices become more and more limited."
Baker says not being able to do things the old-fashioned way is very difficult. "It's very different, it's all new to me, it's a new world."
T-mobile says there are codes one can type into their cell phone, to get basic account information. Dialing 611 will go to a customer service rep that can help with payments.
Even so, Judi Baker says she's switching cell phone companies. She intends on finding one that will allow her to get her bill the old-fashioned way and not be charged for it.

Hey everyone, I would like to get a gun safe. I only have my m&p, but want an ar 15 soon. I need something kinda cheap. Yes, I know, something as valuable as a firearm needs a perfect safe, but as a college student I can't afford a glamorous safe, and something is better than nothing. I would prefer something that bolts to the floor. $150 is the most I want to spend just for a safe to hold my handgun. I won't be getting the AR for a while so the small safe will serve me well. Maybe just a dead bolt for my closet? What would you suggest?

As close as I can get 14 - Gun Stack - On Gun Cabinet With Bonus Steel Pistol Box, Shooting Supplies, Stack-On, Stackon Stack On 14 Gun Cabinet Safe Locker Pistol Box Steel Vault at Sportsman's Guide
People get the government they deserve.
Here you go a 8 gun steel cabinet for $128 from wal-mart. Walmart.com: Stack-On 8-Gun Security Cabinet: Hunting It is not the best thing in the world but if you hide it behind cloths in a closet it will keep them out of sight and out of mind.
Sportsman's Warehouse locally had the Stack-On metal gun cabinet for $90.00, IIRC it was good through the 3rd of Dec. Same thing on the Stack-On gun safe, they had a fairly inexpensive 8 or 9 gun safe for $250.00 Im looking for a safe as well, We have a few companies locally that made them. Good luck
My son just bought another stack-on at Dicks. It's a 10 gun, I believe, and it bolts to the wall. He stores his ammo and mil surplus rifles in it.Cost was about $144
Quick update. I am going to have between $500-600 to spend on a safe. Recomendations?

Stone can make a great base. Because of stone's sense of permanence, a stone base can anchor and establish a structure firmly in place. Larger stones in an irregular pattern create a firm base that complements the lightness of the structure above.
Stone can work for contemporary homes. Interlocking volumes clad in stone that provides texture can enliven a home's composition. And the rough texture of stone can be a nice counterpoint to the adjoining wood and metal.
Stone can be any color. From reds, blues and greens to oranges, yellows and more, stone can vary widely in color. Selecting a stone that has the hue you want, whether to blend in or stand out, has never been easier.
Stone can be left raw. Stone in its undressed state is rock, and rocks can be piled on top of one another to establish a connection to the site. As it transforms into stone, it becomes less foundation and more wall.
Stone can create emphasis. A change in material from stucco to stone and a change in color from light to dark can create a focal point at the entrance or some other architectural feature.
Stone can be thin. Whether it's manufactured stone or naturally quarried stone that has been cut into a thin veneer, stone no longer needs to be heavy, massive and thick. Like today's brick, stone can be applied as a paper-thin, two-dimensional decorative element.
Stone can form an anchoring wall. As a front facade or an accent wall, stone can provide an anchoring wall that the remainder of the house grows from and connects to.
Stone can be shaped and arranged. Dressed into irregular shapes and sizes, the stone is then stacked in a carefully planned, yet seemingly random, pattern that shows thought and craftsmanship.
Stone can be old. Weathered and aged stone gives a home the persona of experience and longevity, reinforcing the permanence of what was built.
Stone can be inside, too. With thin stone veneers, it's never been easier, nor more cost effective, to bring stone in from the cold.

But I remember your message so I tried it out. It must be a regression introduced in the last change to the Makefile. Trac logs show Dan committed a change a month ago and it is directly related to the rendertmp stuff which is failing. At least it *appears* that way. I could be mistaken. I highly doubt, however, that Manuel left us with Makefiles that don't work. Not sure what to do. I'll look at it some. I just wish changes like this would be tested. If someone changes the Makefile, it should be that all functions of the Makefile should be tested before a change is made. But sh*t happens, so no big deal.

It's Friday and I'm wearing a small miracle on my lips! This balm works wonders. I got it in orange :)
The sun suddenly came out y'all and we had our first cookout of the year! SO FUN! I love to cook outdoors and even though the veggie burgers I made tried to slip away through the grill grates, they were still delicious! We had an apple and cabbage slaw that I pretty much always make with spicy chiles and sweet gherkins, plus crispy home fries and plenty of cold beer with my friends! I am getting excited for the change in seasons.
And this is a great soundtrack for evening sun and friends.
Recently I toasted a ton of rolled oats in the oven til golden and fragrant and made them into::
-these scones (swapping some of our delicious dried cherries from work for the maple)
-our favorite oatmeal-raisin cookies! Even awesomer with toasty oats
-and this great oatmeal! I had fun making strawberry-chia jam in my PJs for breakfast last Saturday. A healthier, prettier breakfast than I usually scarf down before 6am :)
I tried a new-to-us meat loaf made with a lovely mirepoix and some onion gravy. We loved it! Four pounds of meat was way too much for the two of us (and for anyone?!) so I halved it, and we still had so much leftover for meatloaf sandwiches. –Which are delicious. I never had made one before. Am I a True American? I hope now I qualify.
These mashed potato waffles are absolutely one of the smartest ideas ever!
We don't have television so are always really late to TV shows — til they arrive on Netflix Streaming. So I know I am behind but I have just fallen in love with Chummy! And the finale of one of the greatest shows ever made was just solidly perfect and as unpredictable as ever. Did anyone else feel somewhat nostalgic through those episodes?
Going to press together these lovely granola bars because some pals are taking me rock climbing this weekend! My first try at climbing. And I don't want anyone getting low blood sugar (read: I don't want anyone to have to be around me if I have low blood sugar).
You might remember that during our office renovation, I was gifted the creepiest, smallest, long-empty office in the building, the space that made my coworker cry when she originally thought she would be moved into it. Well: ta-daaaaa!
Just needed a fresh coat of paint and my shiny face! Artwork for that big empty wall to come soon. Oh, and good riddance to my old office, which went from having three windows to zero::
I know some folks have thousands of Pins but I am a little selective. This was my 1,000th Pin! I think it's a) gorgeous and b) delicious-sounding and c) nutritious, too! All the important elements.
Some of my favorite adventures of our married life thus far (and some extra pounds from late-night cocktails and grilled cheese) happened at our homey La Capitale, an eatery that brought some legit flavors and pretty surroundings to our struggling local restaurant scene. Nathan and I used to belly up to that bar every weekend. Today is their last day open and we are certainly sad to see it end! Best wishes to Chef David as he turns his focus to his tapas restaurant (oh darn — I will just have to eat more tapas).
I suppose our culture cultivates a desire to be thin, petite, graceful. I have always been short but I haven't always been small or at a healthy weight. It feels great to go in for a blood donation appointment and have my blood pressure and iron at killer-good levels — thanks, multivitamins and lots of time at the gym! The phlebotamists say I'm small but I "bleed like a champ." Such a compliment! Do you donate blood?
Are yall celebrating Saint Patrick's Day? We're really not, but we will be at our favorite local brewery, where the beer is strong, but never green, just the way I like it, and just like nearly every weekend :) Cheers! Or "chin chin" as Chummy would say!

Middleweights get top billing at Saturday's UFC on FX 7 event from Sao Paulo, Brazil, as hometown debutante Daniel Sarafian draws C.B. Dollaway in the co-main role, while Vitor Belfort vs. Michael Bisping stands atop the lineup as the featured hurrah. The 4-fight FX main card begins at 9:00 p.m. ET on the heels of a 6-piece preliminary offering on Fuel TV at 6:00 p.m. ET, with a lone bout on Facebook kicking off the evening's face-punching festivities.This match up in particular has really drawn my interest, mostly because the general consensus from the fan-base and the betting lines point strongly toward Brazilian newcomer Daniel Sarafian (7-2). Look -- I'm an honest guy and an open book, so I have no problem revealing that I wasn't able to catch most of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF): Brazil, which served as Sarafian's launchpad to the Octagon.

It All Comes Back
7 stanzas
this is so beautiful.
sweet but empty euphoria:
it still envelops me completely.
send me home now.
for so long i've been lost:
here in a bleeding wasteland.
your voice reverberates
it's like a rainbow waterfall:
tossed over the edge into insanity.
those eyes still exhaust me.
the ocean laps calmly at their shores:
and blue waves burn gold in this sunset.
it all comes back to you, love.
my heart beats in your ears again:
stolen by hands painted in dark rage.
but this is too perfect.
i'm close enough to touch your skin:
sands i once swam in like cool waters.
this is so beautiful.
tell me once more why you left me:
send me over that waterfall's edge.

"But the American government "expects to receive a bill at some point," said the official, who spoke only on condition of anonymity because the situation was so sensitive." …extract from article
"Clinton, in Cairo, denied the U.S. had made any payments, but she didn't dispute that the men's families were compensated." …extract from article
Ah, our SOS doing what she does best as a Clinton; ie., lie through her teeth on our dime and time.
$2.34 million to the families…!? Was I a cheap screw or what when I wrote a piece concerning this debacle a few days ago and felt 10g's each was enough which would have been $20,000, but as in all of these cultures every shirttail relative has their hand out, nineteen in all for $190,000 plus court costs in this case using my suggested settlement schedule. This is a poverty stricken area of the world which makes this a handsome settlement. I doubt seriously that this 'blood money' is going to filter down to the families. Instead the lawyer, the ISI and other shady characters will all get their fat 'bite'. Who knows maybe even our SOS will get a deposit to one of her secret offshore accounts. We know she's into "all hat and no cattle" commodity deals from her "Arky" days!
Isn't it great how our government and their operatives screw up, then the taxpayers have to pay the tab with agency heads pitching our money out as if the U.S. Treasury is their personal piggybank. A few billion here and few elsewhere and soon your talking trillions; ie, astronomical amounts of such.
That's why we're doomed as a nation! : |

Say it ain't so, Bill ... How dare Cowher talk to Cleveland
Say it ain't so, Bill ... How dare Cowher talk to Cleveland
Sunday, June 24, 2007 By Ron Cook, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette The story was bizarre, the reaction to it almost laughable. An Internet site reported last week that Bill Cowher has had secret talks with officials from the Washington Redskins, Carolina Panthers and Cleveland Browns to explore a possible return to coaching in 2008. You would have thought the world was ending, to listen to the talk shows and saloon conversations around here. How dare he? The nerve of the man. The Browns? Get over it, Pittsburgh. Cowher owes you nothing. He owes the Steelers nothing. What? You thought he wasn't going to coach again? You're naive and foolish. Darn right he's going to coach again, sooner rather than later. And why not Cleveland? In a lot of ways, Cleveland is the perfect fit. That isn't to say Cowher has talked to the Browns. It's hard to believe he or his agent has spoken to any of the teams. He's too big in the game to have to sneak around to find out what's going on. He should have too much respect for the coaches of those teams to do that. Maybe he hasn't been in the position of the Redskins' Joe Gibbs, 66, a Hall of Famer who probably will retire for good after the coming season. But he has been in the shoes of the Browns' Romeo Crennel and the Panthers' John Fox. He, too, was a coach under fire during the '98, '99 and '00 seasons when the Steelers failed to make the playoffs and he was fortunate the Rooneys picked him over player personnel man Tom Donahoe in their little power struggle. He wouldn't have appreciated another coach sniffing around for his job then, would he? When the time comes, almost certainly after this season, Cowher won't need long to find the right team. He figures to go to the highest bidder, the owner that's willing to pay him $8 million per year or more. Why not? This is America, right? Cowher still would be coaching the Steelers if the Rooneys had come up with the jack. Forget the party line that he wanted to spend more time with his family in North Carolina. He won a Super Bowl and was insulted the team didn't offer him more in a contract extension. That's his right. It's also the right of the Rooneys, who don't overpay for anyone. Neither side owes the other anything. Cowher gave the Steelers 15 great years. The team compensated him well. If anything, Cowher did the Rooneys a favor by not insisting on coming back as a lame-duck coach this season in the final year of his contract, which would have been a bad situation for everyone. He chose to walk away from about $4 million and sit out the season, not just setting himself up to become an in-demand free agent in January, but enabling the Steelers to get on to the Mike Tomlin era. And now you want to begrudge Cowher taking his next job? Wasn't it just a few years ago that so many of us thought he couldn't win the big game and would have loved for him to leave? Even for Cleveland? Any number of NFL teams could take a run at Cowher. It wouldn't surprise anyone if Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones fired Wade Phillips after just one season to make a pitch for him. Patience is running thin with New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin. The same is true with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Jon Gruden. But the Panthers, Redskins and Browns probably make the most sense. At least the Browns make sense. Carolina would be convenient for Cowher because of his new mansion in Raleigh, but Fox might not be going anywhere. His five seasons with the Panthers have gone like this: 7-9, Super Bowl, 7-9, NFC championship game, 8-8. Do you see a trend? Fox and the Panthers are on schedule to have a big year. Washington probably could pay Cowher the most, but does he really want to work for Dan Snyder? Talk about a culture shock after working for the ultra-supportive, ultra-patient Rooneys. Snyder has had five coaches since buying the Redskins in '99, Marty Schottenheimer among them for the '01 season. Do you think Schottenheimer might have a word or two of advice for his good pal, Cowher, about the job? You know, like, run the other way. Cleveland really might be the best fit for Cowher. He was a Brown long before he was a Steeler, playing for the Browns from '80-82 and coaching them from '85-88. Cleveland fans would love to see him as their coach. They aren't as fortunate as you to be living here. Certainly, they don't know what it's like to experience a championship team. It's not hard to imagine Cowher getting it done for them, doing with Brady Quinn there what he did with Ben Roethlisberger here. Terrifying? Get over it. http://www.postgazette.com/pg/07175/796764-87.stm |

Current Time
Concierge.com's insider take:
Like the Hotel España, the Praktik Rambla is another once-beautiful old mansion that has been given a design makeover. The designer in question is Lázaro Rosa-Violán of Market Hotel and Big Fish fame. His knack for creating bold, modernist spaces in historic buildings is evident throughout, with large-scale abstract art, glossy black surfaces, mirror feature walls, and oversize classical furniture. Period touches remain, including high molded ceilings, colorful Mudejar tile floors, and a sumptuous Baroque-inspired lobby. Yet none of this quite prepares you for the rear terrace, which features a giant rippling stone fountain in the style of Gaudí. A "less is luxe" philosophy reigns in the 43 rooms, which feature retro-inspired mosaic-lined bathrooms and simple, Scandinavian-style furniture. Most look out onto either the elegant Rambla de Catalunya or the interior patio of this Eixample block (avoid these interior rooms, however—they're smaller and almost devoid of natural light). Breakfast is served in the funky Piscolabis café.—Suzanne Wales

NBA Injury News
Last updated 11/16/14
The Los Angeles Clippers are set at the point guard position. They have Chris Paul starting, and they have Eric Bledsoe coming off the bench. Bledsoe is good enough to provide an immediate impact with just about any other team in the league, but the Clippers do not want to let him go. But the trade rumors and interest from teams is going to continue. Marc Stein of ESPN says the Clippers are trying to "dissuade" trade talks involving Bledsoe because they don't want to part with him, but teams have come calling. Bledsoe's talents are obvious, and there are plenty of teams that could use a point guard - including the Dallas Mavericks, the Chicago Bulls, and the New Orleans Hornets. Whether the Clippers will eventually give Bledsoe up, though, remains a mystery. Bledsoe is averaging 8.5 points and 2.7 assists per game in just 18.0 minutes per game. He would do so much more if he were a starter. Bledsoe has been in the league for three years, has played in 154 games, and has only started 26 of those games.The Bulls just signed Daequan Cook and the Mavericks are working on their point guard spot, but there would be plenty of interest if the Clippers would open Bledsoe up to the market. Teams facing injuries would especially be interested, but Bledsoe would want to (and deserves to) go somewhere he can play everyday.

I took my 2006 X3 (approx. 63,000 miles) in to the dealership in July/August 2009 as my a/c was not working properly. Only one vent was blowing sort of cold air, the other 3 blowing hot air. My car was still under warranty at the time. Diagnostics test were performed or so i was told (dye test), no leak found, cause was cited as needing freon and freon was added. Temporarily fixed the problem. This summer 2010, a/c gradually stopped working and has been blowing hot air for about 1 1/2 months. Took car in again, diagnostics test performed (some sort of dye test again) this time told evaporator core is the problem. Quoted $3000.00 all in. My question is, is there a way i can determine if this problem existed back in 2009 when first brought car in for diagnosis. My thoughts are that it did exist back when i was under warranty and diagnosis was incorrect or done improperly. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The plan announced Thursday could return a profit to taxpayers who footed the bill for AIG's near collapse in September 2008. "This is a pivotal milestone as we deliver on ...

By Jonathan Lemire and Jennifer Peltz, Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) – President Barack Obama praised the new Sept. 11 museum on Thursday as "a sacred place of healing and of hope" that captures both the story and the spirit of heroism and helping others that followed the attacks. "It's an honor to join in your memories, to recall and to reflect, but above all to reaffirm the true spirit of 9/11 – love, compassion, sacrifice – and to enshrine it …

The family members who provide care for the nation's wounded veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars need more support than they're getting, says a study of military caregivers released today by the RAND Corporation. The largest-ever survey of more than 1,000 military caregivers found that 25 percent are soldiers' parents, many of whom are growing older themselves and who will not always be up to the task. "These post 9/11 caregivers are providing invaluable support to the veterans they're caring for," says Rajeev Ramchand, a behavioral …

Hello I used to have like 12 different kind of hops growing but all have died out excepth on its still going strong its canadian red vine and it hasn't been on a pole inyears and it grows up to 100 feet out on weeds and brush around it huge and it produces huge fragrent spicey cones and tons of them. Rod
Starting to think of what hop rhizomes to get (and where in the yard to put them). Thinking of 3 plants. Anybody have comments? I am just getting back into brewing (with a vengance), and brew all sorts of beer, rarely anything twice. I like variety. FYI - Freshops just posted on their web that rhizome orders will be accepted starting 3/21. 1. Cascade - well, I do live in CA. 2. Mt. Hood, Liberty, or Sterling. Anybody have experience with growing these? What about flavors? How does Mt Hood & liberty compare (or differ) to Hallertauer, and Sterling to Saaz? 3. Canadian Redvine - can anybody post a good flavor / aroma profile or something similar? From Freshops: MAJOR TRAITS: exceptionally vigorous, very low alpha (5%), high cohumulone, little humulene 4. Sunbeam - may replace one of the above, depending on garden location, as I have a couple of part-sun locations where I can grow up a pole / trellis / twine. MAJOR TRAITS: attractive lemon-yellow leaf color during the whole season., reddish brown stem color which contrasts nicely with the yellow leaves. OTHER INFORMATION: This is an ornamental diploid hop which is not intended for commercial production. However, the cones could be suitable for flavoring beer and ales especially of a Saazer-type aroma profile is desired. The reduced chlorophyll content makes Sunbeam sensitive to direct sunlight in midsummer, causing shriveling and browning of the leaves. Therefore, this variety is best grown in semi-shaded areas to maintain attractive foliage during the growing season.
I would buy only aroma and finishing hops. In my first try I followed Freshops recomendation. Cascade & Nugget. Both grew quite well. I read in my hop gardening book that its risky brewing with fresh hops for bittering. First you don't know how high the AAU's are going to be and two you don't gain the "fresh" benefit. I am using my homegrown for Aroma and Flavor exclusively (late additions and dry hopping). I will always buy pellets for bittering. My Pleasant Hill Lager is my latest batch using home grown I pitched in 1/4 oz of nugget at flame out. I used a pale hopped extract for standardizing purposes. FYI - Nugget is a bittering hop with supposedly good aroma. I will do the exact same recipe with the cascades tomorrow. My American Cream Ale is awesome. This was my first lager and first go with my cascades. The hop taste mildly prominent but not over powering. (12-13IBU 1/2 oz fresh.) The flavor is more floral than citrusy which is opposite of what I expected. - Still quite good!
I planted a Sunbeam last year, but it didn't produce anything. The only shade it gets is from the other hops on the east side of the trellis. Maybe I should swap it with the N.B., so the Sunbeam is shaded in the afternoon? Funny they call something that can't handle full sun, Sunbeam!
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!" "I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
Couple questions on using homegrown hops. Ive read from so many sources that homegrown hops are great for aroma and finishing, but not for bittering, because you cant actually calculate IBU's because you cant be sure of the actual alpha acids. First, is this true? Have you homegrowers run into this? If it is, what equipment is actually used to measure alpha acids?
That's correct. The flavor & aroma additon does very little for bittering. Its really a waste of fresh hops anyhow if you use them for bittering. Unless you have alot, more than you can use for the year for flavor & aroma. If you want you can have them evaluated at a lab for alpha acid units, but I don't know of anyone who has done this or where they could be sent. I don't know what equipment is needed or how practical that would be.
You can probably send them to the hop heads at OSU, but I think we are talking $200 per test. They typically use high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and those run $250,000 or so. [And take bleeding forever to calibrate!] My hop plants are a mix of aroma & dual use hops, like Nuggett and Perle.
Most hops are grown in dry regions, like Eastern Washington and Oregon. As I learned last year: Lots of water, Lots. An inch a day isn't too much at 100F. Many of the big growers have gone over to constant drip irrigation and that's were I'm headed this year.
What hops should be easiest to grow in southern NY (Westchester county)? I've never tried growing my own, but I'm looking forward to the attempt.
Nothing until I figure out if I can make it happen over in the UK.

The DH-outfielder is putting the memories of a devastating knee injury behind him, finding his stroke when the Twins are chasing a divisional title.
Jason Kubel watched his ball fly out of the park for a two-run home run in the fourth inning Sunday.
Jason Kubel went 4-for-5 and scored four runs Sunday in the Twins' 11-8 victory over the Mariners, and manager Ron Gardenhire concluded that the outfielder and DH finally has recovered after that bad knee injury he suffered that sidelined him for the entire 2005 season.
Kubel is batting .526 on the current homestand (10-for-19), with six RBI and one home run.
For the season, Kubel is batting .278 with 17 home runs and 63 RBI, a big improvement over last year at this time, when he was hitting .248 with nine home runs and only 44 RBI.
"He had a serious knee injury, and it becomes a confidence thing -- whether you're ever going to be able to use that leg right and get your legs underneath you to hit," Gardenhire said. "It's been a long process, but he can hit, the young man can hit. He's having a good year for us and we need it, and when he starts using the whole field, like he did today, he's just going to get better.
"He's getting there. When you blow your knee out as bad as he did, it takes a while. I think confidence-wise, he's starting to feel like he can really be a power guy and all those things. We know he can hit, so we just keep letting him out there.
"I think the one thing is that he gets a little pull-conscious every once in a while, and today he used the whole field. That's the type of hitter he really can be, the whole field."
The only negative for Kubel is that he is hitting only .208 against lefthanded pitching compared with .296 against righthanders.
Cuddyer to miss tripAsked to give a report on his broken foot, Twins outfielder Michael Cuddyer said: "It's still broken. ... It's only nine days out from breaking it, so there's not that much that we can expect from it right now. They'll probably re-X-ray here in about a week or so and see if it's been healed and healing, and go from there."
Cuddyer said he won't make the next road trip that starts Thursday against the Angels. "No, I'll probably stay here and at some point I'll be able to start rehabbing," he said.
Seattle sources say the Twins did claim Mariners pitcher Jarrod Washburn on waivers and the two teams thought they had a deal with the Twins giving up a player -- reportedly Boof Bonser -- but for some reason it fell through. Washburn told the Seattle Times that he was hoping the deal would go through.
Seattle pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre was so puzzled with the poor performance of former Twins pitcher Carlos Silva -- whose record after signing a $48 million, four-year contract is 4-14 and a 6.36 ERA -- after being hammered by the Twins on Friday that he asked Twins pitching coach Rick Anderson if he can see anything that is keeping Silva from pitching like he did last year, when he won 13 games.
"They just kind of asked about what we saw different in him," Anderson said. "Like I said, he was getting down a little lower with his arm, getting on the side of stuff and it wasn't sinking at all."
Silva was put on the 15-day disabled list on Saturday because of tendinitis in his elbow.
JottingsStarting today and continuing for two weeks, the Timberwolves will have nine of their top players -- including Al Jefferson, Sebastian Telfair, Kevin Love, Randy Foye, Ryan Gomes, Corey Brewer, Chris Richard and Mike Miller -- working out every day at Target Center. They will be around until Labor Day, take 10 days off, then resume workouts out until training camp opens. The Wolves would like to invite former Michigan State guard Drew Neitzel, who was on their summer league team, to camp, but he signed a contract with the Artland Dragons in Germany. A decision hasn't been made whether to sign free agent Kirk Snyder, but with Miller here, coach Randy Wittman said Snyder is not likely to sign.
Ben Utecht, the former Gophers tight end, caught four passes for 34 yards and a touchdown in his first preseason game with the Bengals on Aug. 11 against the Packers. He caught two more on Sunday for 25 yards against the Lions. Colts coach Tony Dungy said salary cap problems are the only reason Utecht isn't still with the Colts. "Ben came to us, he had been hurt his senior year at the U, and he was a talented guy and he fit right into what we wanted to do throwing our ball to our tight ends," Dungy said. "He had a great couple of years for us, actually started the Super Bowl, and was a big part of our success. He became a free agent last year, and Cincinnati gave him a nice, nice deal, which is going to have him set for life financially. So, we were happy for him and happy to see that but sad to see him leave us."
Gophers infielder Derek McCallum was named to the Northwoods League's postseason All-Star team. McCallum, who played for the St. Cloud River Bats, was third in the league with a .328 batting average.
The top football recruit in the state might be Minneapolis Washburn tight end Ra'Shede Hageman, who is near the top of Florida's recruiting list. Hageman was a visitor to the Gophers football practice this week. He told GophersIllustrated.com, "I was pretty impressed watching the team practice. I could really see myself playing with them. The team was filled with so much energy. Even though I was excited to watch them practice, I still have to think about where would be the best football program for me and my skills. Don't get me wrong, Minnesota will always be an option for me."
Ex-Gophers wide receiver Logan Payne, who didn't play for the Seahawks against the Vikings because of an injury, caught four passes for 38 yards in his team's 29-26 preseason victory over the Bears on Saturday. ... Payne's former college teammate Ernie Wheelwright had a good game for the Ravens against the Vikings, being the leading receiver with five catches for 37 yards. ... And receiver Ryan Hoag, another Washburn alumnus who played at Gustavus Adolphus, had a big day with Jacksonville on Saturday with three receptions for 71 yards.
The Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League has three former Gophers: offensive lineman Jerome Davis, wide receiver Arland Bruce and cornerback Willie Middlebrooks. To date, Bruce has 37 receptions for 449 yards and three touchdowns, while Middlebrooks has 28 tackles and one interception. ... Ex-Gophers receiver Ryan Thewell is with the Calgary Stampeders and has caught six passes for 95 yards. Last season he caught 40 passes for 733 yards and four touchdowns.
There is enough interest in North Dakota State football, with some 25,000 alumni living in this area, that KYCR radio (1570 AM) will carry all the Bison's games.

Citigroup Spinout Said to Get $2 Billion for Buyout Fund
July 25 (Bloomberg) -- Court Square Capital Partners, the private-equity firm that spun out from Citigroup Inc. in 2006, has raised more than $2 billion so far for its latest buyout fund, according to a person familiar with the situation.
Court Square Capital Partners III LP is seeking $3 billion, the same amount that its prior fund raised in 2006, this person said. Trevor Gibbons, an outside spokesman at Edelman in New York, declined to comment for Court Square.
The firm, based in New York, is seeking capital as a record 1,858 private-equity funds compete for money, according to data compiled by Preqin Ltd., a London-based research firm. The new fund will invest in upper mid-market companies with enterprise values of $150 million to $1 billion, mainly in business services, telecommunications and technology, general industrial and health care, according to April meeting minutes from the Arkansas Teacher Retirement System.
Court Square in May purchased PRV Aerospace LLC, a precision manufacturer of flight parts for the commercial aerospace and defense industries, from private-equity firm Platte River Ventures. The firm in March agreed to buy Physiotherapy Associates, a provider of outpatient rehabilitation services, from Water Street Healthcare Partners and Wind Point Partners.
The predecessor fund was producing a multiple of 1.3 times capital and 9.9 percent internal rate of return as of March 31, according to performance data from Oregon Public Employees Retirement Fund, which said the fund has drawn down $79.3 million of a $100 million commitment.
The firm has invested more than $4.5 billion in more than 150 deals that have returned $14 billion, according to its website.
