For new questions please post at magento.stackexchange.com, the community-run support site for the Magento community. We will be providing updates on the new forum solution soon. For questions or concerns please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
I have the following problem :
I have created a model in my "ProductReferences" module, and I simply want to insert one record by this way :
$model = Mage::getModel('productreferences/references');$model->addData(array( 'refcom'=>'REFTESTMODEL', 'product_id' => 3));$model->save();
Here an extract of my module tree :
ProductReferences-- + Model---- + Mysql4------ + References-------- + Collection.php------ + References.php (1)---- + References.php (2)
The file References.php (1) contains :
<?phpclass Smile_ProductReferences_Model_Mysql4_Referencesextends Mage_Core_Model_Mysql4_Abstract{ public function _construct() { $this->_init('productreferences/references', 'refcom'); }}
The file References.php (2) contains :
<?phpclass Smile_ProductReferences_Model_Referencesextends Mage_Core_Model_Abstract{ public function _construct() { parent::_construct(); $this->_init('productreferences/references'); }}
My table, "smile_productreferences_references" :
+------------+------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |+------------+------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+| refcom | varchar(255) | NO | PRI | NULL | || product_id | int(10) unsigned | NO | MUL | NULL | |+------------+------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
created with :
CREATE TABLE `smile_productreferences_references` ( `refcom` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `product_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`refcom`)) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COMMENT='Store trade references/products relation';ALTER TABLE `smile_productreferences_references` ADD CONSTRAINT `FK_REFCOM_PRODUCT_ID` FOREIGN KEY (`product_id`) REFERENCES `catalog_product_entity` (`entity_id`) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE;
Then, here an extract of my config.xml file :
<global> <models> <productreferences> <class>Smile_ProductReferences_Model</class> <resourceModel>productreferences_mysql4</resourceModel> </productreferences> <productreferences_mysql4> <class>Smile_ProductReferences_Model_Mysql4</class> <entities> <references>
productreferences_references
 </references> </entities> </productreferences_mysql4> </models> <resources> <productreferences_setup> <setup> <module>Smile_ProductReferences</module> </setup> <connection> <use>core_setup</use> </connection> </productreferences_setup> <productreferences_write> <connection> <use>core_write</use> </connection> </productreferences_write> <productreferences_read> <connection> <use>core_read</use> </connection> </productreferences_read> </resources> </global>
My problem : the insert of data with code given at the top of this post doesn't work ! But no error neither in navigator, neither in logs…
Any idea ?
Did you try waht happens if you use
Yes, I tried to use method "setData" instead of "addData", but nothing's saving in my database :(.
This was of great help to me but I am still not even able to access the database, I am getting an error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function getModelInstance() on a non-object
Whenever I try and initiate a getSingleton database connection, with both core/resource and modulename/resource.
How are you initialising the database connection?
Many thanks
EDIT: Problem solved, calling requests from jQuery and had only included Mage.php, but not initliased Magento with Mage::app()
@Perrine L.
You said that your table is called: smile_productreferences_references. But in your module definition you set another table for the entity references of your model.
<global> <models> <productreferences> <class>Smile_ProductReferences_Model</class> <resourceModel>productreferences_mysql4</resourceModel> </productreferences> <productreferences_mysql4> <class>Smile_ProductReferences_Model_Mysql4</class> <entities> <references> //Your line
productreferences_references
 //This is the table name that you mention
smile_productreferences_references
 </references> </entities> </productreferences_mysql4> </models>
Hello everybody,
Thank you for your answer. That's right I made a mistake concerning the table name on this post, but I had corrected it in my code but the problem still existed.
I don't know why this code :
didn't (doesn't ?) work, but I took another way to do my module : I inspired by the "customer option" tab (by copy/paste and by changing the code step by step).
So the post is solved and unsolved too :s
Finally, to do what I had to, I copy what it made for "customer options", concerning model, blocks and templates. By doing step by step, copying file and modifying little by little, I success.

With the school year coming to a close, a lot of people are talking about summer plans for the kids. Some people have booked summer camps or family vacations every single week, while others have no plans at all for their kids for the summer. A couple of parents with toddlers in year-round preschool are taking their kids out for the summer even though they have no vacation plans, and that just seems crazy to me. I seem to be the only one around here falling in the middle. I booked two long-weekend camping trips, a week of soccer camp for Tiven, and two sessions of swim lessons for her. She actually knows how to swim but our neighborhood pool doesn't offer "free swim time" during the week in the summer so this is the only way to get her in the pool on a regular basis. And it's cheap enough that I don't mind if she misses a day or two for a sleepover or playdate. We're leaving Weston in preschool (he's only there in the morning) but will pull him out for our camping trips and any other fun things we decide to do in the mornings.
Where do you fall on the summer plans spectrum? Are you a complete week-to-week scheduler, a let things happen type, or are you with me in the middle? If you had no vacation plans, would you pull your toddler out of preschool for the entire summer?

This year is a real challenge for us. Last year we still had a full time nanny, but now that Juliet's in kindergarten we don't, so I have to hire someone part-time and I don't even know what hours I need yet. We haven't figured out camps or classes or anything beyond two small road trips we are taking! Ugh, I feel like the worst planner ever.
Doing 1 cubscout camp and 1 boyscout camp this year.. so dh had to take 2 weeks of to do that. We usually do not go much during the typical Summer vacation.. Play with friends a lot but we school year round.. We take most of September off for camping ... and will probably do the same this year.. Dh is also hunting this fall so we will see what it all looks like as it comes.
DH-Aug 30th 1997 Josiah - 6/3/02 Isaac 7/31/03
I have the last week in August off leading into Labor Day weekend. No set plans. I think we'll do a lot of day trips this summer. Sundays, that week etc.
Elizabeth is not doing her summer program at her school. I had serious issues with it last summer and pulled her out. She will continue with ABA therapy.
We don't do much camp wise (not yet at least). We have a splash pad locally and my grandmother lives on a pond so we're teaching them to swim there. We're big on free summer time.
Mom to Elizabeth (6) and Corinne (4)
I love free time in the summer but Dave & I work, so we have to balance it all out somehow. And camps here are so expensive! We found an affordable one but it has religious aspects that they don't tell you about unless you ask a LOT of questions, and that really bothered me.
Yeah we both do too but it works out well for us. Chad's home Mon/Tues and my mom watches them on wed/thurs. MIL has them on Fridays so they get a lot of free time.
Hidden religious things is weird.
Mom to Elizabeth (6) and Corinne (4)
I also love free time in the summer but not when I come home from work and both kids are whining & moaning about how they did nothing all day and are bored to tears having no fun at all. And DH is whining & moaning about how the kids were bugging him all day. I had a schedule of all the free days at local museums, family memberships at a couple of places, I even had a schedule of when other kids were available for playdates, and he never took the kids anywhere, not once. That's how last summer went so I'm doing things a bit differently this year.
70% of the U.S. population now lives in a state where same-sex marriage is legal. At 36 and counting!
I'm a teacher so I have summers off. I can't wait to hang with my kiddies and spend some quality time with them! The school year always seems so rushed and I love how spontaneous we can be in the summer.
Dance will absorb most of our free time in June/beginning of July. The girls have 2 recitals and Alana has 2 National competitions as well. One is in Daytona so we'll be spending the week there. Definitely looking forward to that! We're also planning a family beach trip in June to a much more "natural" beach.
July should be more relaxing. A few doctors appointments scheduled...will probably play at the pool a lot...organize the house...nothing too exciting.
My Mom and I are taking the girls camping for a few days in August. We plan on tubing and kayaking which should be interesting because my Mom and girls have never done either.
21 more days to work......lol
We are laying really low on the camp front this year. We have the cruise in June which takes up a week, then a week at the beach in July and another in August. My DD has one week of science camp in June, and my oldest son has a 2 week (half day) literacy camp at the end of july. Other than that it will be time at the pool, time with friends, and a few weekends at the beach. After missing most of last summer due to being on crutches, I so don't want to overschedule this one. My baby starts preschool in the fall, so I will have three mornings a week to my self with out kids for the first time since becoming a Mom ~ and now that they are 6,5 and almost 3 they have gotten so much easier and so much more fun/less work......so I plan on enjoying this summer to the max without scheduling much.
We are kicking of the summer with a camping trip for Memorial day weekend. It will be our anniversary, but the girls are coming with us. I think it will be fun. Then we are going to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge for a week in the beginning of June with my parents. Then we will have a week here, then go to NY for a few weeks to spend time with family and go to a wedding. July will be spent at home. I will work heavily on lesson plans for the whole school year and DH will work his part time job. In August we will start school with 3 in school for the year. I like to start in August while DH is home to help and the weather is too hot to do too much outside. Then we can be done at the end of May when it is cooler.
So mostly we will be on the go for June, but home for July and August.

4. Your Router Is A Vampire
While you can purchase a more energy-efficient router, consider the possibilities: Have you set up Windows to check for updates when you're not using your computer? Do you have other software that scans for updates? (Windows Media Center, for example, will routinely go online to update the program listing, as will most anti-virus software, and scads of other stuff.) We live online, 24/7, and 24/7 power usage is one of the consequences. If your network and Internet access is shut down, those scheduled services will not complete.
That said, Netgear, for one, has a line of Energy Star devices that include more efficient power supplies and (gasp!) an On/Off switch in many cases. You're not going to save a lot on your power consumption -- just turning off your monitor or even (gasp!) your PC will do much more for you -- but everything adds up.
Make a habit out of shutting down and turning everything off during the wee hours. An easy way to do it is to plug PCs, routers, and printers into a power strip, and plug the power strip into a timer. Then set the timer to turn the power off overnight. Just remember to schedule software updates during hours when your system is "awake" and be sure to properly shut all your devices down before the power goes off each night. The savings are small, but they'll add up over time.
5. Dead Spots
Problem: You have a dead spot in your home that your 802.11g router can't seem to reliably reach.
Solution: If you're not already using an 802.11n router and adapter, it might be time for the switch. (True, the standard hasn't been finally approved yet, but best guess is that the hardware is locked down and any changes that are needed will be done to firmware --which you can upgrade.)
Why "n?" Because it uses a technology called MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) that allows it to broadcast and receive multiple signals.
When a data stream arrives at your dead spot, it's often been bounced off of too many walls, floors, and other obstructions to make much sense to your 802.11g or 802.11b router. A MIMO-enabled router takes all those bounced reflections and compares them, looking to fill in the blanks until it's pieced together as much of the signal -- if not all of it -- as possible. It's more than likely that the drop-outs you've experienced with your 802.11b/g router and adapter will be cured and you might actually see some honest Wi-Fi speed emerge.

Maybe that's what it will take; an uber wealthy man to control a Senate full of 'destitute' millionaires along with many of the same stripe in the House.
They only worship the acquisition of evermore money and power so with someone who can't be bought off and seemingly wouldn't be on the make and take for such, his only unfulfilled dream being that of achieving power outside of the business sector.
Don't take my thoughts as an endorsement for this guy. I used to be highly enthused with his delivery and thoughts, but in recent years he's done some things that cause some hesitation on my part.

The artist Markus Schinwald is obsessed with legs. He is also one of the better architects I have encountered in a while. I make both of those observations after visiting the Austrian Pavilion at the Venice Art Biennale last week. Schinwald took over the whole Josef Hoffman-designed building and filled it with an alternate architecture. His contribution consists of white walls hanging down to just about crotch height, forming a labyrinth that limits the building's occupancy to two hundred and twenty at any one time–which just happens to be the amount of square meters the Pavilion contains. The installation eliminates about a quarter of that, so that what was an empty container has now become a machine for making you aware of the building's nature, size, and character.
The Austrian Pavilion sits in the "back forty" of the Biennale's Giardini, or garden exposition area. While the big countries, such as the U.S., German, and France, occupy the front, you have to cross over a small canal to find Brazil, Greece, Austria, and a long building containing mainly contributions from countries from Eastern Europe and the former Yugoslav Republic. This year, this area was a site of serenity, austerity, and geometric complexity. In addition to Schinwald's work, the Greek Pavilion, filled with water, a beam of light, and not much else, stood out, as did a crumbling concrete construction by Oscar Tuazon that sat in the garden between the buildings.
Schinwald, a young artist who has made a career of working in sculpture, installation, video, and this kind of quasi-architecture, does actually exhibit some things within his building-in-a-building. At the end of axes or in niches off the parallel paths you will suddenly find a 19th- or early 20th-century portrait he bought at an antique store or fair, and to which he has added prosthetics: a chin guard in one case, string leading from a woman's ears into her mouth, a shroud over another woman's face. These additions appear to be in the same style and technique as that of the original painting. Like the pendant walls, they are without function, a palimpsest that in its tracing opens up many possible relations between the first object and the second one. The nature of technology as an extension of the human body and perhaps even its torture potential come to mind as you observe these tracings, but so does the prosthetics of art and architecture itself, which extend the artist's hand and body and imposes itself over the reality. These palimpsests have the function of complicating structures to reveal something that is difficult to name, but that is present to your experience.
A second palimpsest consists of table and chair legs Schinwald has hung high up around corners or cornices. They are all Chippendale in style, their curves looping away from the reiteration of the walls in all their straight and narrow force. You look up at the artificial legs and down at the legs of your fellow visitors, which is all you can see of them. You wonder about the rest of these wooden and human bodies. You concentrate on the curves and sense the restrictions and incompletions. Perhaps a kind of perverted desire wells up.
Finally, Schinwald presents you with videos in which actors strike poses, each a fragment of geometry, within what appears to be an abandoned hospital or spa.< Shown in the Pavilion's side wings, which were later additions, they would seem to bring the missing relationships between people, prosthetics (including chairs and tables) into view. There are no answers here, however, just moving sculpture in space.
Wandering through this work, you cannot help but think of Wittgenstein and his villa, Freud and Jung and their mental labyrinths, and the sexualized art. These are all the achievements for which we remember fin-de-siecle Vienna. Here in Venice, however, what you get is not so much anxiety, desire, and the need to question or even do away with humanity, as a desire to reawaken curiosity, to make the incompletion of both our human bodies and what we as humans make evident, and to create new relations between them that you can explore in time and space. That is what I can effective architecture.

The photo was that of the boat with a cheery crew in front, smiles spreading almost as far as the jets of shimmering champagne which splashed the deck with its cascading brilliance.
That graph was taken on this here ships final voyage! Boy was that a roughun
I gasped and the photograph slipped from my hand, drifting slowly into a small puddle which was pooled in the floorboards. There was a man standing behind me whose face hadnt met a clean shave for several years, and whose skin must be crying to join the photograph in the puddle for a good clean up. His beard and hair was a tangled mess, and his clothes reeked of spoiled fish.
Despite his retched appearance, the man fell into a kind smile as he bent to fish the photograph from the puddle.
I pologize for startlin ya miss, but jus magine my shock ter find ya here? He said, wiping the water from the photo on his disheveled sea clothes.
I looked around quickly and realized that the man must live in this area, as some sort of homeless sea man.
Im sorry sir
I said, lowering my eyes and shying towards the door.
The man stepped forward and took my hand into his own filthy set. He then pressed the photograph into my palm and smiled warmly once more.
Dont ya want ter hear of the las voyage?
All I wanted to do was leave the ship and creepy man behind me and get back home on the soft earth, but I was an adventurous and curious girl, which had gotten me here in the first place, so I was interested to know more. I nodded and the man beamed, jumping on one foot and kicking out the other, alternating legs in a whimsical dance display.
Great! Sorry ta frighten ya again; I jus havent seen anybody in ere fer quite a long time! he went and sat down at a nearby table, leaving me to stare into the photo once more.
Well, there was good nights an bad uns on that trip, an this night was a bad un. We had lost all light, the fires all out. Tha waves rocked at tha ship with a fury Id never seen, an it was safe ter say we were lost at sea. All happiness left his face as he started this story, and his voice took on a solemn tone.
I member this one wave
He was cut off as the boat took to jerking violently, and water rushed through the window with an unexpected intensity. The water extinguished all of the torches which were lighting the room, making it impossible to see any of my surroundings. I let out a loud shriek, which was nearly extinguished by the sound of the rushing water much the way the torches had been.
The man leapt into action, grabbing me around the waist and holding me under one arm while using the other to open a hatch in the floor, tossing me in feet first, then rushing in after me and pushing me lightly till we were running down the short hallway with the water fast on our heels. I could hear horrendously loud creaking, which reminded me of the trees cracking under the wind. Shouts and screams could be heard in the background, as though dozens of men were fighting back the waves. The ship was lurching around so violently that it was almost certain that the ship had been ripped from the shoreline.
Is this thing even sea worthy? I shouted at the old man, as we passed through the door at the end of the hall and he shut it behind us, just latching it shut in time for it to be beaten viciously by the water behind it.
The man ignored me and rushed down the short flight of stairs ahead of me, then started rifling through all the draws and tables searching for something. He finally found what he must have wanted and held one of them out to me. It was a strange looking tube that housed a small chamber with liquid that glowed once a small flame was lit under it. The man grabbed a sheet off of one table and started gathering all sorts of things from around the room, just as the door to the other room and the glass windows all gave in to the unforgiving hurricane, and water began pounding into the room, ripping everything from its place and destroying all else.
Once more we were forced further into the ship and a heavier door was barricaded from our side. We were in a very large room now, with beds and barrels of all sizes rolling to and fro. We spent a large amount of time clinging to two support beams in the room and praying for it to end. Each wave seemed to shake the ship in a new more violent way than the last, making it difficult to hold on to anything. Then, just as suddenly as it began, the shaking stopped, and the ground leveled out. We slowly let go of the posts and tried calming down. The man collapsed to the ground and held his face in his knees, as I walked slowly towards one end of the boat, not believing any of this could be happening.
I turned back towards the man and a huge cracking noise and a jet of water flew from the floor, and I had just enough time to see his half of the ship was torn from mine as my light hit the floor and burst into flames. I was pushed further back when I sat there crying and trembling miserably, thinking of the old mans fate, and what mine was surely to be.
Kira? Kira!
Its okay, shes breathing
Shes opening her eyes.
I blinked several times to see my parents and a few doctors I had never seen looking at me with looks of concern plastered on their faces. I had washed up on the beach! I wondered if they had found the old man as well, and if he was alright. As time passed and the doctors were satisfied I was alright, they filed away and my parents took me home. They all had asked plenty of questions
like where in the world did all the smoke come from? I told them of the ship but none of them believed me
They claimed there never was a ship here, and today was a beautiful sunny day. Nobody could also bring the old man the mind
it was as though none of it ever existed. I ran it all over in my mind and suddenly I realized. What if it didnt?
Adults were constantly chastising me for my vivid imagination and how it always got me into trouble, what if that was the case today? I took my jeans off as I did every night before bed and emptied the pockets. There, though wet and faded with age, was the photograph of the ship and the old man in the center of a line of several others. The man had told me the photo was of the ship on its final voyage
He never said the ship made it back to port.

To counter some of the doom an gloom out there, I'm working on a dystopia story with a bit more hopeful angle. I'm posting this in small segments for now. It's still, more or less, a rough draft. I'll shoot for two segments a week – and hope I don't get stuck We are stronger than we think we are!
A Refuge – Part one
Theo rubbed weary eyes, and then tried not to. She had been driving for close to four hours now. Her route was planned to avoid the cities and major towns. There would be danger in the cities. More than she could cope with alone, at any rate. An open convenience store tempted her to stop. She didn't hesitate. If they still had gas, she could fill both her tanks and maybe even get some coffee, if she was lucky.
As soon as she took out the key, she reached for her eye drops. That would wake her up better than coffee. She noted the lack of cars here and no traffic at all on the road, though the signs said this was a junction of roads between sizable towns. When she put the drops back, she shoved her pistol into the small holster at her back. She grinned, thanking her grandfather for his foresight to leave her this package at the school "just in case". Something about the lack of traffic bothered her. Things were getting bad in a hurry.
"I need about forty gallons of gas. Do you have any fresh coffee?" She said to the attendant before she was properly through the door.
"You'll have to pay first. Cash only." He frowned at her and then tried to put on a more polite expression. His hair was dark and ragged with a scraggly beard.
Theo grinned, "Sure thing, I need to make a little stop first and get a few goodies for the road." She did her best to imitate the airy, light mannerisms of one of her classmates. It seemed to drive the guy at the register as nuts as it had her. And that was her intent. He was setting off all sorts of alarms in her head.
While she did what she said she would, she also looked around. She heard a muffled voice in the storeroom next to the ladies' room. She also thought she heard movement in the men's room. So, there was at least one in the men's room and two in the storeroom. Her main reason for going into the ladies room was to make sure her weapon was ready. She knew it was, but she felt better for checking it.
She took her time looking over the food, a mask of dumb blonde frozen on her face, though she was neither dumb, nor blonde. She wanted some quick energy boosters on hand and chocolate fit that role just fine. She had real food in her truck. The coffee was not nearly as fresh as she'd like, but it would do. Now she just hoped they were still taking paper money. The guy didn't look quite smart enough to have grasped yet, just how worthless it was.
As she put her items on the counter, she saw greed leap in his eyes.
"Two hundred and fifty dollars." He stated, without bothering to ring anything up.
"I only want forty gallons of gas, sir. The sign says it's $4.99 a gallon." His actions reinforced her impression that this guy was danger, and had no business behind the counter.
"Two hundred and fifty dollars." This time, there was an implied threat hanging in the air.
She reached into her bag and carefully pulled out the required cash. She slammed it down on the counter and stalked out, just as her classmate would have and left to pump her gas. She deposited her purchases and quickly began filling the near tank, watching for the next move. It came in the form of another vehicle pulling up along side the same pump. Since there were three other pumps, the alarms were now ringing madly.
"Give me some gas, woman!" The driver said as he got out, making the word woman into a slimy, inferior thing. He approached her with his hand in his pocket, but if he had a gun, it was a small one. Then she smiled.
"You want gas, man" She managed to slur the term into the realms of a witless dog. "Okay, here you go." Theo turned to him and held the nozzle to full force, dousing him with gasoline. He screamed in a language she didn't know, but she got the idea.
"Since you seem to need help, would you like a light too?" She asked sweetly as she pulled a lighter out of her pocket. His eyes went very wide as his mouth dropped open and stayed there. "Now, we can escalate this and you die or you can walk away now. If you wash it off fairly fast, it won't burn too badly."
His face suffused with anger and he started to draw his hand out of his pocket. Several things happened at once. Theo saw the one in the store come to the door with what looked like an AK-47 and a badass looking military vehicle pulled up on her off side. She noted at a glance that the soldier on the gun did not wear a blue UN hat. Evidently, the gunner had managed to grasp what was happening fast enough to cut down the man with the rifle, while the vehicle pulled between her and the store. She caught that at the edge of her vision, as time seemed to slow down. She didn't remember any order to her hand to drop the nozzle, but it was lying on the ground and her pistol was already coming up.
It was so exactly like practice. The lighter dropped unnoticed as her left hand joined the right and she acquired the sights as her hands locked into position. The firing was just as automatic. Then she emptied the clip center mass. He seemed to topple over in slow motion and then everything rushed in. She breathed again.
"Ma'am, are you all right?" It was incongruous, that courtesy in the soldier's, no Marine's, voice after they had each just killed someone. He didn't look at her, but kept his eyes up and out, scanning.
Theo couldn't help it, she laughed, though it came out as a slightly hysterical squeak. "I'm alive, so yes." Her eye fell on the blood pooling about the body of the man she had just killed. The shock of it jarred her back to reality. "There are at least three more inside." One reality. The other one would have to wait.
She got to see the efficiency of a well-trained squad in action as the man behind the driver made a hand motion and three other men boiled out of the vehicle, weapons up and out. Two went to the near corners of the building so fast they were blurs. The one she guessed was in command, dismounted on her side, but the gunner on top remained. One more came to stand beside her other side.
"Ma'am, you stay here. And get that weapon reloaded!" That was from the sergeant, she could see his stripes now. She sprinted back to her truck, reaching in quickly to grab more clips. A new one was in place and a round chambered before she turned back.
The sergeant gave her a short nod of almost approval. She took a good look at him. He didn't look old enough to have so many bars pinned to his shirt. His face caught her attention, the steady, hard set to his dark features and the determination in his eyes spoke of more than just the current situation. The assessment had taken seconds, but Theo knew without doubt, she could trust this man.
Movement inside the store caught their eye. The marines held their fire until they had better targets. That didn't take long. Impatient, someone stepped around the candy display and hosed the windows. Theo jumped at the sound. The man tried to duck back under cover, but he didn't count on the gunner's sights and he shot as soon as the first round hit the windows. They could see into the store clearly now and two more figures were moving around, keeping low. The two marines at the building had disappeared. Theo thought they must be checking the back. The sergeant murmured something into his microphone and a moment later one of them came around to the corner, keeping low.
"Close your eyes, Ma'am, and stay down," the sergeant told her.
The next instant she heard two distinct small explosions followed by boots running. She eased up to peak over the edge. Something was said over the radio, but she couldn't catch it.
"All clear, Ma'am. I need to check my men." The look the sergeant gave her plainly was "Stay out of the way" and he'd rather she didn't go in at all.
Theo wondered if it was because she was a woman, or simply a civilian. Probably the later, she guessed. Either way, she wasn't ready to stand around and wait to be told what to do.
"Gunny, we found a body, probably the owner, in the storeroom. What now?" The marine who spoke looked far too young, even to her eyes, to be a marine. He didn't even look old enough to shave.
The tiny hesitation was all Theo needed. "Sergeant, if I may suggest, let the local sheriff handle it. You've the two prisoners there, for one thing, and from what I've seen, there may be more trouble in the area. The sheriff can warn us of any spots to avoid and if he's not quite ready to believe how bad things are getting, this should wake him up." She grinned up at him, his bulk making her feel small. "Besides, who's going to argue with you? You're Marines!"
"The lady has a point." The young marine grinned at her.
The sergeant gave her a hard look she couldn't read and sighed. "Very well. A small town sheriff should be okay. That's if the phone works."
Miraculously, the phone did work. By the time the sheriff pulled up, they had decided these were either some pretty inept terrorists or a band of the many illegals that had invaded the country in recent years. The sergeant, Matt Greer, added that they could be both. Once he got over his shock at the incident, the sheriff called in an ambulance and loaded the prisoners into the back of his SUV.
He came up to Theo and Gunnery Sgt. Greer. "I should have you come to the station and file a report, but I have a feeling there's no real point. Process is going out the window fast. Would you come to town for dinner though? With your men and Miss Stevens, of course. I think I owe you one."

Beaten Boothroyd Defends Team Selection
Aidy Boothroyd backed his decision to leave Bayo Akinfenwa on the bench against Bradford City
Clive Platt and Ishmel Demontagnac were handed surprise starts at Wembley but were left to watch in horror as the Bantams raced into a three-goal lead.
Boothroyd, to be fair, could not have planned for his side to freeze in such a big game and said afterwards he had no regrets about his team selection.
"I wouldn't do anything differently," was his verdict.
"As a manager you have a plan for what you've got to do.
"If you pick a team and it wins then you're a very good manager and if they don't win then things are always said. That's why football is such a game of opinions."

The electrochemical reduction of Cu(II)-CyDTA (CyDTA — trans 1,2-cyclohexanediamine N, N, N′, N′ tetraacetic acid) by impedance method reveals the unusual behaviour of complex plane polarograms owing to potential dependence of double layer capacitance. The impedance plane plots by frequency variation method indicates the quasi-reversible nature of the system. From these plots the chargetransfer resistance at various potentials was evaluated. The standard rate constant was evaluated which complements the prediction of impedance plots for the quasireversible behaviour of the system.

How a Sudanese boy came to be named '1 o'clock'
The swollen-faced infant lay quietly in the dirt. Nura Sawah, a Sudanese woman traveling to her hometown after being driven away 18 years earlier by civil war, picked the boy up and started breastfeeding him. He began to revive.
She passed him to other women, who also let him nurse. It was about 1 p.m. They started calling him by the time of day: "1 o'clock."
The name stuck.
"He's a gift from God," says Ms. Sawah of the boy, who often nuzzles into the cotton folds of her dress.
The story of this shy toddler with the strange name begins many months ago when Arab militia ambushed his family as they journeyed home across this hot, desolate land.
And it's just one thread of a larger story of hundreds of thousands of Africans on the move. In fact, 2005 is fast becoming a year of homecomings for the people of Africa.
A half-dozen of this continent's wars - from Sudan to Somalia to Liberia - are waning or have ended. So hundreds of thousands of Africans are reuniting with relatives and rebuilding interrupted lives - sometimes after decades.
In Sudan alone, up to 1.4 million people - out of 4 million displaced during the country's 22-year civil war - may go home this year after a Jan. 9 peace deal ended the war, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. But, like 1 o'clock and his new mom, they face risky trips, crowded arrivals, and fresh disputes over old land.
For Sawah, the story that ultimately led her to become 1 o'clock's mom began in 1986, when she and her husband fled their hometown in southern Sudan during fighting between the government and rebels over resources and political power. Sawah and her husband scrambled 550 miles north to Sudan's capital, Khartoum, joining hundreds of thousands of other southern blacks.
In 1993, she says, her husband died. So she worked as a "slave," cleaning homes of Arabs, the dominant group in Sudan's north. In late 2003, with peace seeming imminent, Sawah headed home with a group of about 20 women and children. She had enough money to bring only four of her nine children. The other five stayed behind.

Police looking for missing tanker truck
POSTED: Sunday, June 9, 2013 - 9:59pm
UPDATED: Monday, June 10, 2013 - 1:08pm
El Paso, TX (KTSM) — A tanker truck is missing from an El Paso business and police need your help finding it.
Sometime Saturday, May 25th or Sunday May, 26th , an entire vacuum water tanker truck vanished from Toscano International at 1925 Missouri.
Those tanks are used in the oil industry and also to hall water or even empty septic tanks. Police believe the suspects were very familiar with the equipment.
"They were actually able to take off a lock that prevents this trailer from being hitched to a tractor. They were able to remove this special lock from it, hook it up to a trailer, and tow it out of here," said Javier Sambrano with El Paso Police Department.
The white tanker has Texas license plates Y40447.
If you have any information about where it may be, please call Crime Stoppers at 566-tips. You will remain anonymous , and could receive a cash reward.

Promoter-proximal pausing by initiated RNA polymerase II (Pol II) and regulated release of paused polymerase into productive elongation has emerged as a major mechanism of transcription activation. Reactivation of paused Pol II correlates with recruitment of super-elongation complexes (SECs) containing ELL/EAF family members, P-TEFb, and other proteins, but the mechanism of their recruitment is an unanswered question. Here, we present evidence for a role of human Mediator subunit MED26 in this process. We identify in the conserved N-terminal domain of MED26 overlapping docking sites for SEC and a second ELL/EAF-containing complex, as well as general initiation factor TFIID. In addition, we present evidence consistent with the model that MED26 can function as a molecular switch that interacts first with TFIID in the Pol II initiation complex and then exchanges TFIID for complexes containing ELL/EAF and P-TEFb to facilitate transition of Pol II into the elongation stage of transcription.

Photographer files charges against Voodoo Fest performer
NEW ORLEANS, LA (NBC33) — Photographer Amy Harris declined to press charges against Odd Future member Left Brain after she says he slapped her across the face during the group's performance at the Voodoo Music Experience in New Orleans. Friday, Nov. 4, Harris returned to the Crescent City and filled out a police report for assault with the New Orleans Police Department.
The incident occurred Sunday, Oct. 30 after the hip hop collective Odd Future began performing around 4:00 p.m. Several photographers working that show claim they saw Vyron Turner, aka Left Brain, slap Harris, along with damaging equipment belonging to another photographer. However, at least one photographer says Harris was never struck, only her camera was knocked out of her hands, but was not damaged.
Harris originally declined to press charges, saying that she anticipated an apology. However, Odd Future and its management have denied the allegations. They say the only intention was to swat at cameras, not people.
Harris released an official statement on her website on Sunday, Nov. 6 in regards to her reason for filing charges.
"At this time, I do not wish to discuss the filing of the police report other than to say that, upon further reflection of events of the past week, it is something I needed to do. The week's events have been extremely upsetting and culminated with an email from an unidentified person threatening to kill me and rape me and my family. While it is certainly possible that the email came from an overzealous fan of Odd Future, and not from the group itself, it has become clear to me that this is a matter for the police."
Members of Odd Future, including Turner, were also in New Orleans at the House of Blues over the weekend. On Saturday, Nov. 5, they were there to support New Orleans musician Frank Ocean, who toured with the collective. Ocean did not appear with Odd Future at the Voodoo Experience performance. He is currently touring in support of his solo act.

Call for dialect-speaking volunteers to spread news about Pioneer Generation Package
Published on Apr 27, 2014 1:56 PM
Dialect speaking volunteers are needed to spread awareness of the Pioneer Generation Package to seniors, a Chinese self-help group said on Sunday.
The Chinese Development Assistance Council (CDAC) hopes to recruit "a few hundred" such volunteers by the end of the year, said the group's head of volunteer arm Baey Yam Keng.
These volunteers will help organise a series of dialogues to explain the package to the seniors, many of whom understand only dialects.
Although the self-help group already has several thousand volunteers on its roll, it is the first time it is starting a drive to specifically recruit dialect speaking volunteers for a project.

Current Time
Concierge.com's insider take:
Just a ten-minute cab ride from the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square, the Peninsula also happens to be smack-dab in the shopper's paradise of Wangfujing. The hotel has its own luxury-brand mall, and the giant Oriental Plaza is also nearby, enabling guests to max out their credit cards with relatively little effort. The lobby, filled with Chinese antiques and a gurgling waterfall, is pretty impressive; the 525 posh guest rooms don't disappoint, either. All have streamlined, plush furnishings with subtle Chinese details (dark wood, silky bolster pillows, jade plants), 42-inch plasma TVs, "silent" fax machines, high-speed Internet access, Davi bathroom goodies, and Braille door numbers. A couple of noteworthy pre-Olympic upgrades include a new Peninsula Spa by ESPA and two customized Rolls-Royce Phantoms.

Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
With Ultimate Beer, Jackson homes in on the particulars: which beer, when, and why. After a concise overview of brewing ingredients and processes, Jackson explores a myriad of beers from every corner of the brewing world. His suggestions are organized by the situation in which they might best be enjoyed: from summer sippers to winter warmers, aperitifs to nightcaps. Enticing photography of each beer and its packaging accompanies Jackson's tasting notes, brief technical info, and product-specific tidbits. Then, Jackson indulges further with chapters on matching particular beers to particular dishes, and follows that up with a brief guide to cooking with beer.
The guiding principle of Jackson's writing--that which he shares with any beer enthusiast--is that beer, like wine, is best enjoyed when served at the right time, in the right conditions, and with the right dish. This book is Michael Jackson's very personal attempt to point the way to enjoying that Ultimate Beer. --Todd Gehman
THE BREWER'S ART While great wines are now appreciated the world over, the phenomenon of the beer connoisseur is relatively new. Yet great beers, created by master brewers from four basic ingredients - grains, hops, malt, and water - easily compare in variety, character, and texture with their better-known, grape-based counterparts. In this book, Michael Jackson examines more than 450 beers from around the world, explaining why they are superlative in their field and deserving of a connoisseur's attention. A Beer for Every Occasion Whether you are looking for a thirst-quencher, an alternative to champagne, an appetizer, or a nightcap, Michael Jackson recommends exactly the right beer for the occasion, with many other examples that you can try.

Artist Spotlight: V. Bazhenov
January 14, 2013
Arabian coast. 1962
Vsevolod Andreevich Bazhenov was born February 18, 1909 in the town Serdobsk, Penza Province of Russian Empire into an artistic family. His father was an artist and taught in a school. He become the first teacher of Vsevolod. Later he studied in Serdobsk art studio of artists A. Gofert and N. Kuzmin. Besides drawing and painting, Bazhenov was music lover: his mother Evgenia Nikovaevna was a pianist.
In 1928 Bazhenov graduated in high school and moved to Leningrad. In 1928–1930 he studied at the Tavricheskaya Art School, where he was a student of Mikhail Avilov, David Kiplyck, and Vladimir Fedorovich. In 1930 Bazhenov leaves the third-year college courses and arrives at the surveyors. According to some sources the reason care was difficult financial situation, on the other – the reorganization of the department of painting. After the course Bazhenov worked in the exploration, first as a surveyor, then the superintendent and chief of field parties. During the expedition he much painted sketches from the life of the Ural Region, Armenia, Khibiny, Karelia, the Caucasus and Kurdistan. From 1934 to 1941 Bazhenov worked at the Leningrad maping factory.
In 1940 he married Catherine Andreyevna Kuznetsova. June 24, 1941 was born the eldest son Alexander, who later became an artist of movies. After the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, Bazhenov together with family was sent to Sverdlovsk city for specialty. In December 1942 he was drafted into the Red Army in the rank of lieutenant-technique as a senior cartographer. Discharged at the end of 1945. He was awarded the Medal "For the Victory over Germany in the Great Patriotic War 1941–1945″.
In late 1945 Bazhenov returned to Leningrad. Since the autumn of 1946 he worked as painter for order in LenIzo. In 1946 was born middle son Vladimir, in 1952 – junior Andrew. The first part Bazhenov in art exhibition refers to 1937. Since 1951 he is constantly involved in Leningrad, Republican, and All-Union exhibitions of soviet artists. He painted landscapes, genre scenes, seascapes, sketches from the life, works in oil and tempera paintings. In 1951 Bazhenov was admitted to the Leningrad Union of Artists. In 1950s to gather material for paintings Bazhenov made some long-time trips around the country, having been in East and West Siberia, in Altai Province and Ural Region. The result of these visits were the lot of excellent in painting nature studies, nominated Bazhenov as a leading Leningrad master of this genre.
In 1962 Bazhenov embarked on a working voyage on the ship "Eugene Nikishin", from Leningrad to Vladivostok around Europe and Asia with stops in ports of Gibraltar, Suez, Singapore and Vietnam. In course of voyage through eleven seas and oceans, which lasted more than three months, Bazhenov created nearly two hundred sketches, paintings, and drawings. Some of large works were conceived by the artist is finished too late in his Leningrad art studio on the base of nature sketches and direct impressions of the voyage. For the first time about 120 works from this series were exhibited in Leningrad in 1963 after returning from a voyage. Then the exhibition was shown in other cities.
In 1960-1970s Bazhenov with a group of Leningrad artists painted pictures for the mess-room ocean-going ships and submarines. He create about 100 paintings for ships of various purposes, mostly landscapes of our country. Most of this works were on the warships of Pacific and Northern fleets. Also he take part in creation special technologies for protecting the picture from the high humidity in a long-time voyage. In 1976 the artist was awarded the command of the Navy of the USSR for this job.
A special place in the artist's creative journeys belonged to Karelia. For the first time Bazhenov visited here in 1931. In 1981 he first visited Valaam island, which came at the invitation of the local museum. From then until death Valaam was one of the main themes of his work. In 1984 the Valaam museum held a solo exhibition of paintings by Vsevolod Bazhenov. Its funds are kept many paintings executed on impressions from visiting the island.
Vsevolod Andreevich Bazhenov died on August 2, 1986 in Leningrad at the seventy-eighth year of life. He is known mostly for his landscpes, seascapes, and small-format etudes done from nature. His personal exhibitions were in Leningrad (1963, 1982), and Saint Petersburg (1994, 2009). His paintings reside in State Russian Museum, in Art museums and private collections in Russia, Japan, France, England, in the U.S., China, and throughout the world.

One more addiction to add to the (growing) list: Facebook, Pinterest, BILLblog and now… INSTAGRAM. I like the format because it's creative and visual with very little text and very little Social Media advertising. Sure there are folks peddling product but its all about the image, and no one is asking you to "like it" you either do or you don't. There are fashionistas posting daily outfits, professional photographers posting beautiful images, there are puppy pictures, food pictures a little eye candy and yes a ton of self portraits (guilty). These are just a small sampling of the folks I follow. Some just post pretty pictures, others fitness achievements and others exotic trips or pets doing cute things. If you're not the type to play Words With Friends, Instagram is the ap for you. It lets you play with exposure, focus, light, zoom and cropping plus there are borders and filters to change the mood of your shot. I personally like posting food, my outfits and self portraits most. I realize I'm not the first to discover Instagram, in fact I'm behind the ball on this one, but so what… Having a good time, enjoying the voyeurism and inviting you to come along for the ride.

I thought about it on the plane and realized that I hadn't been to Los Angeles for seven years, that's a long time… But after being here just one day I've realized that while shops, clubs and restaurants have come and gone and others have taken their place the city is largely the same. It still has beautiful weather, beautiful people wearing carefully crafted outfits, there is beautiful architecture – both old and new – and yes, still lots of glam if you know where to look.
This first image is part of Chateau Marmont – a haunt of the rich and famous and now me. The old world glamour is really perfect, modeled after an infamous royal residence in France's Loire Valley, it is a fantastical folly in the land of make believe. The bungalows, pool area and hotel are all well perserved and are a total throwback to the glam days of Hollywood. I had a delicious lunch in the outdoor courtyard with great great friends, had a star sighting: Toby Mcguire, and loved walking the grounds and pool.
West Hollywood doesn't suck either. West Hollywood is bordered on the north by the Hollywood Hills, on the east by the Hollywood district, on the south by the Fairfax district of Los Angeles, and on the west by the city of Beverly Hills… so its a great location and the walkable neighborhood is a great mix of residential & commercial. The architecture is largely extreme Art Deco, Spanish Colonial Revival, Monterey Revival, elaborate Italianate monsters – and fountains and statues, hidden gardens and fantastic ironwork and detailing. The most famous building in the general area is the Art Deco Sunset Tower Hotel up there on the Sunset Strip (8358 Sunset Boulevard), back to its original name after being the Argyle for a bit – 1929, architect Leland A. Bryant. It's very famous, in a good number of films, and once home to Howard Hughes, John Wayne, Paulette Goddard, Zasu Pitts, and that famous gangster with the great name, Bugsy Siegel. It seems everyone lived there. If you're really in the know – or if you're lucky enough to have close friends in the know – the SOHO house is a private club on the top two floors of the 14-story, 9200 Sunset Boulevard. Opened in spring 2010, Soho House West Hollywood has a bar and dining room that offers spectacular views LA. The terrace garden dining area is lined with olive trees and covered by a retractable roof. There is also a comfortable sitting room and a private dining and bar area for members' events and screenings. Devine!
Red velvet club chairs in the screening room, whats not to love?

Wild Ones: Gentler Pocket Knife Has Animals, Not Blades as found on dornob.com and it's too cool not to share…
Suhami's goal was to invent a toy for adults who enjoy playing with small objects. The safari "knife" is completely harmless, yet still beautiful enough to be appealing to discerning adult minds. The object features interchangeable heads, legs and tails for three animals: a rhino, an antelope and a giraffe. The pieces fold out just like those of a Swiss Army knife, creating multiple animals which all share a torso.
According to Suhami it is also possible to mix and match the animal parts to create some fascinating new hybrid animals. The animal parts are made of stainless steel (to represent modern technology) and the knife's body is made of Tabebuia wood (to represent traditional craftsmanship).

If you have a close relative that is going to France, what is the first thing you ask them to bring back?
Cheese! And lots of it.
That's exactly what I did and alhamdulillah, I got a lot.
But I also got a lot more than I bargained for since I asked to get something really French. Well, it doesn't get much more French than Confit de Canard.
What is Confit de Canard anyway?
It is duck preserved in its own fat and if you have never had it, it looks downright scary to try.
Apart from Chinese take out, most of which is not halal, most of us pizza loving North Americans are not that familiar with duck. First off, we are conditioned to fear the fat and duck is known for it's crispy, fatty skin.
I felt assured that I would have my husband to share it with.
Not so fast — silly me thought that my husband lo-oved confit de canard. Not. At. All.
When it comes to cheese, all he needs is a good Gruyère and the rest of it just smells terrible to him. When it came to the confit, how crestfallen was I to hear "I don't eat this stuff. You said you wanted something French."
I will confess, I felt like I was in over my head and it sat at the back of the fridge for a long while. Good thing I started this blog because I have finally mustered up the courage to eat it.
You have to slowly heat the confit once out of the jar.
I started as incorrectly as possible by trying to spoon two duck thighs from a jar fresh from the fridge.
My spoon was crushing under the pressure until certain individuals who don't eat confit suddenly said, "we usually invert it and let it sit then slide it out". Hmm…I thought we "don't eat this stuff". Curious.
Usually, I hate making salad because it takes sooo much prep. I just roll my eyes when people say, "oh, just throw together a salad. It's so easy." However, I was feeling really inspired with this exciting new food item so I went all out with no less than (hold on, counting) 5 veggies plus herbs, spices and oil.
Oops, I forgot the homemade croutons.
I had this overabundance of onions at the time so while I would usually go for garlic, I really needed to use up these onions. I'm talking bags and bags of onions. Don't ask.
Since they lose a lot of their eye torturing power when cooked – particularly roasted – I figured that was the way to go. It's also really easy. No peeling just oil, slice and s&p.
Pop them in @ 425-450°F for 15-20 et voilà.
Historically, I have hated crutons. Those dried, chemically flavoured bits of bread that would usually just be a soggy mess at the end of a Caesar salad. When ordering such salad, I would usually request that they drop the croutons.
That was until I had my husbands homemade croutons and now I make salad just to eat croutons. True story.
Wholegrain breads are more flavourful with a better texture.
Typically, confit de canard is simply thrown into a baguette with some mayonnaise or aïoli (basically mayonnaise but not). I was also informed of this by the same individual who does not eat confit de canard — again, curious.
I don't think I could bring myself to have such a fatty meat, starch and more fat with no veggie buffer. A salad was a natural progression really.
This salad has a lot of working parts so I will try to give a good indication of how things should be paced on the recipe card so you end up with the tastiest crispiest salad possible. You do want to have your preserved duck still warm to the touch after taking it off of the stove.
How many this will serve depends on how much salad greens you use. If you use a whole tub and add some iceberg, it can serve up to four as a main.
I was eating this for about two days.
You may have been skeptical at the beginning but now you are just itching for the recipe. Here is your card.
Preserved duck thighs tossed with field greens, fresh grape tomatoes, summer squash and a fresh bouquet of herbs.
- 2 preserved duck thighs
- 2 large onions
- 1 summer squash (yellow zucchini) sliced into strips
- 1 tub of field greens (add iceberg for extra crunch)
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 3-4 fresh chives finely diced
- Garlic powder
- Salt & Pepper
- Olive oil
- Baking pan
- Cutting boards
- Knives
- Salad bowls
- Skillet (cast iron best)
- Invert the confit jar and set aside
- Preheat oven to 400°F (or higher). Prepare onions by slicing onions in half, skins and all, then seasoning with olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Place cut side down onto baking pan and put into oven for 20 minutes or until caramelised.
- Wash field greens and lettuce and set aside to drain and dry.
- Slice plum tomatoes in half lengthwise then finely chop chives. Strip fresh thyme from stalk and chop if desired.
- Prepare DUCK by removing 2 duck thighs and reheating them on low heat in a skillet.
- Separate into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- Drain of excess duck fat and set aside. Pan fry summer squash (yellow zukes) until golden brown. Set aside.
- For the CRUTONS Heat a crepe ban and add some olive oil to lightly coat pan.
- Take as many slices of bread as desired and place in heated crepe pan.
- Fry on both sides to desired colour and let cool before slicing into squares.
- Toss all of the ingredients -- greens, duck, herbs, veggies -- and sprinkle with olive oil and desired melange of dried herbs. *We suggest garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper.
- Add the croutons, toss again and serve immediately.
Do not discard duck fat. It makes a great replacement for pork fat due to its high fat content and strong flavour.

Going with Zabuza on both occasions mostly because of the location. More mist and Zabuza can trap Guts in the Water Prison.
@MrASSH0LE: Let me be a little more clear then. Is the armor enchanted under Schierke's magic or not? The former allows Guts to retain his sanity while retaining the powers granted to him via the Berserker Armor so long as he keeps his feelings of hatred in check. The latter has him going berserker.
If the former, then having Guts being bloodlusted is kind of redundant since he's always willing to kill those who threaten his life.
@MrASSH0LE: Then I don't see what having knowledge of Zabuza's abilities would matter to Guts here as being berserker under the armor's power comes at the cost of Guts being capable of devising tactics and strategy on the fly in battle. The problems for Guts in this match is that his arsenal of weapons and abilities are limited to close and mid-range combat, while Zabuza's capable of engaging his foe at all ranges. In addition, Guts' attacks lack the wide spread amount of damage and effect they would have on the battlefield that Zabuza's have potential to cause via his water jutsu.
Granted, direct close combat against Guts would be fatal for Zabuza. But the Missing-nin's also a competent tactician capable of devising means of counteracting his opponent's abilities once he gets a feel for their abilities in battle, giving a jounin-level ninja in the form of Kakashi difficulty during their fights in the Land of Waves arc. Via his water jutsu, Zabuza could fight from a distance via use of water clones or milk ranged attacks via Water Dragon Bullet and Great Waterfall. The island terrain is more a boon for Zabuza here as he can use the water in the area to help further strengthen his jutsu.
Overall, I'd rate this match 70/30 in Zabuza's favor. If the Missing-nin gets careless and tries resorting to close combat, Guts would easily slaughter him. But if he plans carefully and engages Guts through deception and ranged combat, then it greatly increases his chances of victory here.

Wk. 2- The good, the bad, & the ugly
the good-
ben roethlisburger- despite the announcers constantly harping on his high throws (as if he was having a horrible game) he finished 22-30 for a tang hair under 300 yds. mike wallace hines ward- crushing linebackers on run plays and that sideline catch show why he isnt yet relegated to the bench. one of our most heady and reliable players. emmanuel sanders and antonio brown- these guys would probably easilly be starters on the colts, replacing the likes of pierre garcon or anthony gonzalez, where they wouldnt be asked to do nothing more than run fast and catch the ball. unfortunately we arent the colts and we have a run game. their time will come. int the meantime their return skills are starting to look exceptional. (and heath and rashard who had a few combined receptions as well) all in all the ball catchers hands were glue. 19 rushes by mendenhall and a more ballanced attack called by arians (although there is a sack or 2 and 5 rushing attempts not counted as pass plays). shutout and 5 sacks ;by the defense goes w/o saying, but im saying it cause it was good. the bad- ben getting beat up. heath miller with only 1 rec and i think just targeted twice. suisham missing an easy 41 yarder with absolutely no wind. theres gonna come a time where a 41 yard fg is the difference of a win or loss, or we need a critical kick to win a game. lets hope he got it out of his system in a game where points werent a premium. the announcers apologizing for his miss talking how hard it is to kick into the open endzone as if there were wind that might have missed his kick. he flat out missed. the ugly- red zone and especially goaline offense. ben can sneak the ball. have we EVER let rashard try a dive play? :tap: the slow developing shit with a foot to go, has got to be tossed out the window. ben actually being called a drama queen because he had the audacity to show physical evidence of pain, on a play that knocked the qb queen, tom brady, out for the season. refs will not throw a flag in bens favor unless their jobs are on the line for blatant neglect of the rules. roger goodell (who is currently at the concussed mike vicks bedside) probably cursed when he saw ben re-enter the game. :helmet: |

Re: Wk. 2- The good, the bad, & the ugly
A win is a win but that was against a god awful Seahawks team. What happened to scoring points in the second half of games?
Re: Wk. 2- The good, the bad, & the ugly
Arians didn't abandon the run completely in this game.
Re: Wk. 2- The good, the bad, & the ugly
as for Ben getting "beat up". I've been saying for weeks now, he's GOING to get killed this year. I'll be shocked if he makes it through the year with our OL getting run over.
Re: Wk. 2- The good, the bad, & the ugly
check out this breakdown of redman's 20 yard play. ward and foster totally beasted on their blocks. |
Re: Wk. 2- The good, the bad, & the ugly
nice find. excellent work by steelersdepot.
we have a member here who couldnt recall hines ward doing anything note worthy or worth mention in the blocking game. i'll have to give him this link. hopefully foster can earn back his spot. |
Re: Wk. 2- The good, the bad, & the ugly
Re: Wk. 2- The good, the bad, & the ugly

You'll find an access point to this section of Sac & Fox Trail at the northernmost end of Wilder Rd. SE, or start at the Rosedale Rd. Trailhead located on Rosedale Rd. SE. 7.2 miles in length, this well maintained trail runs along Indian Creek and is not only a scenic place for an afternoon hike, jog, or bike ride, it is teeming with wildlife. Chances are if you use a little bit of stealth you will come across deer, rabbits, and squirrels at some point in your journey along the trail, not to mention being serenaded by a variety of birds and the sounds of the creek.
A great place to spend the afternoon hiking with the family or for some peaceful solitude, you'll find this trail is fairly flat. The trail might be muddy in spots after a heavy rain and Indian Creek is known for flooding as well, so keep this in mind if we are under a flood warning.
