|Jets' Keller, Hill, Po'uha, Conner doubtful
|Written by Admin
|Saturday, 06 October 2012 12:15
None of the four practiced all week - Keller, Hill and Conner because of injured hamstrings, and Po'uha with a sore lower back. Keller hasn't played since the season opener, and Hill missed last Sunday's game against San Francisco. The receiving corps is already thin, especially after top receiver Santonio Holmes was lost for the season with a foot injury against the 49ers.
Linebacker Bryan Thomas didn't practice Saturday because of a hamstring issue and is questionable, as are running back Joe McKnight (illness), safety Eric Smith (hip, knee), cornerback Aaron Berry (ribs) and linebacker Bart Scott (toe).

High guide to New York City: Where to be stoned
Happy 4/20, y'all! Dig our roundup—or high guide, if you will—of Gotham's stoner-friendly happenings and spots.
Wed Apr 17 2013
CommentsAdd +
Whether you're way into the green stuff or just have a short attention span (we kid!), you'll appreciate the 4/20-worthy picks in our high guide. Seriously, who doesn't like serene parks, hearty meals and stoner flicks?
Lebowski Fest New York
- Price band: 2/4
- Critics choice
Is there a more likable onscreen toker than the Dude? (If you don't think so then, well, you know, that's just like, uh, your opinion, man.) This two-day celebration of the cult comedy kicks off at Gramercy Theatre (127 E 23rd St between Park Ave South and Lexington Ave; 212-614-6932; Fri 19 at 8pm; $25) with a screening of the Coen brothers' masterpiece (yes, dude, masterpiece) and musical performances by the likes of Los Duderinos, the self-dubbed—and you'll hear no argument from us—"ultimate metal Big Lebowski tribute band." On 4/20 proper, costumed fans convene to roll at Bowlmor Lanes (222 W 44th St between Seventh and Eighth Aves; 212-680-0012; Sat 20 at 8pm; $30, advance $25), compete in trivia bouts, slam White Russians and welcome surprise guests—a tease that's nothing to scoff at: The film's stars (John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, Julianne Moore and Duder himself, Jeff Bridges) stopped by two years back. lebowskifest.com
- Bowlmor Lanes Birthday Parties, Midtown 222 W 44th St, between Seventh and Eighth Aves
- Until Sat Aug 23
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
- Price band: 1/4
Speaking of drug-addled fish-out-of-water characters, Hunter S. Thompson's alter ego, Raoul Duke, is right up there with the Dude as a stoner icon in pop culture. Watch Terry Gilliam's appropriately trippy take on Thompson's novel alongside a rousing midnight-movie crowd at Williamsburg's Nitehawk Cinema, where you can sate your munchies by feasting on nachos topped with guacamole, black beans, chorizo, scallions and cilantro ($10). The screening is part of the theater's monthlong late-night series 420, which culminates with David Lynch's mind-bending Dune (Apr 26, 27 at 12:05am; $11). 136 Metropolitan Ave between Berry St and Wythe Ave, Williamsburg, Brooklyn (718-384-3980, nitehawkcinema.com).
- Nitehawk Cinema 136 Metropolitan Ave, between Berry St and Wythe Ave, 11249
- Until Sat Oct 19
Spring Fever Festival
- Price band: 2/4
- Critics choice
Mary Jane and alfresco concerts go hand in hand, bro. Bushwick space Secret Project Robot (which is, thankfully, usually devoid of actual bros) hosts a rocking block party outside its digs that's headlined by organ-pounding garage-rock vet Quintron and his wife, Miss Pussycat, who's known to break into a weirdo puppet show mid-set. It's a trip. Later on, Quintron deejays alongside dusty-soul spinster Jonathan Toubin during Soul Clap & Dance Off (Brooklyn Bowl, 61 Wythe Ave at North 11th St, Williamsburg, Brooklyn; 718-963-3369, brooklynbowl.com; Sat 20 at 11:59pm, doors 11:30pm; $7), an energetic affair that buzzes with come-one-come-all camaraderie. 389 Melrose St between Flushing and Knickerbocker Aves, Bushwick, Brooklyn (secretprojectrobot.org).
- Secret Project Robot 389 Melrose St, between Flushing and Knickerbocker Aves
- Until Sat Apr 20
Pork Slope
- Price band: 1/4
- Critics choice
Stoner code mandates that the best grub, whilst blazed, is typically of the delivered variety. But if you're longing for some more serious ripped-friendly dishes, consider this Park Slope BBQ destination, which serves addictive pulled-pork ($13) and brisket ($14) sandwiches, and a soul-warming crispy mac and cheese ($8). One tip: If crowds get you paranoid, arrive early—this joint gets packed at night. 718-768-7675, porkslopebrooklyn.com
- 247 Fifth Ave, (between Carroll St and Garfield Pl), 11215
Brooklyn Heights Promenade
- Free
This esplanade is outfitted with tons of benches, so you can relax and soak up stunning views of lower Manhattan and Lady Liberty—which might spark some questions both philosophical (what is my place in this huge city?) and ridiculous (why do my shoes look so weird from this angle?).
- Columbia Heights, (between Middagh and Montague Sts)

CHENNAI: Postmen now have brand new motorbikes to deliver Speed Post and articles.
On Thursday, India Post's Principal Chief Postmaster General of the Tamil Nadu Circle, Indira Krishna Kumar, handed over TVS Star motorbikes, windcheaters and mask helmets to five postmen of Anna Nagar Post Office to ensure speedy delivery of postal articles. She also flagged off 'Logistic Post' containing medicine from Arihant Pharma.
"This is the first post office in the north division where we have given the new bikes for Speed Post personnel. Eventually, we will cover everyone. Still our postmen prefer to travel by bicycle or foot to deliver postal articles, depending on the road stretch, as it may not be easy to stop and start the bike every time," Ms. Kumar told The Hindu.
Senior Superintendent of Post offices, Chennai City North Division, Kalaiyarasi Raamaswamy, said the north zone had 36 postmen and all of them would be given motorbikes. "We will maintain a log book and issue fuel coupons. Generally, these postmen travel around 40-50 km a day on two shifts. In the coming days, the distance will come down as they will take the shortest route to deliver the article on time. This will result in improved efficiency."
Encouraging feedback
The south division has 19 postmen and the Tambaram division, around 15-20. Two motorbikes were delivered to post offices in Guindy and Madipakkam areas on trial basis two months ago and the feedback has been encouraging.

There are no games scheduled for Friday, Nov 18.
Duke 93
(1-0, 1-0 away)
Penn State 67
(0-1, 0-1 home)
8:00 PM ET, November 18, 2005
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) -- Duke (No. 2 ESPN/USA Today; No. 1 AP) found a new star on a team full of talented players.Freshman Abby Waner had 15 points, six assists and six steals to help the Blue Devils turn an 11-point halftime lead into a 93-67 rout in their opener on Friday night.Waner, one of the top recruits in the nation, hit two 3-pointers, threw some nice passes in transition and energized a stifling defense in the opening minutes of the second half. She didn't look as if she was playing in her first college game."Abby is a pretty good player for a freshman. She didn't play like a freshman," Duke coach Gail Goestenkor said.Alison Bales added 15 points and nine rebounds and dominated inside, while All-American Monique Currie finished with 12 points after sitting out much of the first half with foul trouble. Currie and Bales are two of five starters returning from a team that went 31-5 and advanced to the regional finals of the NCAA tournament last season."I saw a lot of good players on the floor tonight," Penn State coach Rene Portland said about Duke. "They have some nice shooters, but their inside game is very, very difficult to play."Bales, a 6-foot-7 center, had three inches on Penn State post player Amanda Brown and had her way inside for much of the game.Kamela Gissendanner led Penn State (0-1) with 19 points, while Brown had 13 points before fouling out. The Lady Lions shot just 31 percent (17-of-55) and lost at home for the first time since Dec. 21, 2003 -- a span of 21 games.Penn State narrowed a double-digit first half lead to seven a couple of times, thanks in part to the play of reserves Adrienne Squire and Courtney Molinaro.After Waner hit two free throws, Squire hit an open 3 from the right corner to cut the deficit to 36-29 with about three minutes left in the first half, firing up the crowd.But Duke dominated from the start of the second half. Waner helped early on and looked energized, rushing back on defense, clapping her hands and jumping up on her toes after hitting a 3-pointer early in the half."It was a great atmosphere to play in my first game," said Waner, who added that she had to work on her game more.Portland is rebuilding at Penn State after having just three players return from last year's team.Freshman point guard Brianne O'Rourke, making her debut, played well at times but shot 1-of-8 and had nine turnovers. O'Rourke and her teammates were, at times, rattled by Duke's pressure."I definitely look at this as a learning experience for me," O'Rourke said. "With as many turnovers as I had its really not acceptable, especially being a point guard."Before the game, about a dozen Penn State students protested outside the Bryce Jordan Center against Portland in connection with a former player's allegations of discrimination against the Lady Lions coach.

WTC7 - The Gash and How It Got ThereSubmitted by fireant on Mon, 01/27/2014 - 03:24
The column location of this lower hole is uncertain, but it appears to be in the vicinity of column 20:
How It Got There...
Collapse sequence begins at 1:25. Piece of interest appears at 1:34:
A north view confirms it lines up with WTC7 near column 20

Yes, please follow the advice
Yes, please follow the advice of the thread title and take all this foil hat garbage somewhere else.
"In reality, the Constitution itself is incapable of achieving what we would like in limiting government power, no matter how well written."
~ Ron Paul, End the Fed
For a serious discussion, go to rethink911.org
These "gash" comments of fireant are just pseudoscientific nonsense.
In fact, you don't need the supporting opinions of the ae911 group of engineers or scientists. Look at the video of the building coming down and use your common sense.
Useless to engage with shills in pointless endless "discussion".
Nobody's saying there wasn't
Nobody's saying there wasn't damage from projectile debri. Even if a couple of columns were damaged to the point they offered zero resistance it is impossible the bldg could collapse at free fall. There were 80 structural columns in bldg 7 (24 core 56 exterior) that would of had to be eliminated for that to happen. The NIST report has no explanation for the collapse and refuse to release the parameters used in their models which only cover up to the point of failure. The NIST report is a fraud as is the gash theory.
The gash is not a theory. It's a fact.
Perhaps you'd like to take a shot at what carried the diagonal load after the south face was severed?
Undo what Wilson did
The "Gash Theory" the weight
The "Gash Theory" the weight of less than 5% (assumes 0 support from columns 19, 20, 21 & 79) of WTC 7 dragged down the remaining 95% at free fall speed. That the undamaged structural support so traumatized by the terror and horror of the attack couldn't bear the burden of carrying on.
A post by fireant concerning bldg 7...
= more lies from our resident "scholastic" shill.
By all means, write a paper on it for the grand jury.
I'm sure they will be swayed with that.
Undo what Wilson did
Are you trying to prove that
Are you trying to prove that this was the reason for the collapse for WTC-7? There is no way a building of that era would endure a total free-fall collapse due to exterior asymmetrical damage. In fact, due to redundancy and safety factors, WTC-7 would have survived even if entire columns were destroyed. And when you consider the use of the building, an additional factor of safety was considered in the design of the beams and columns. Even if there was damage as you show, it would not lead to the result witnessed.
(Background: Civil Engineer, BS Civil Engineering-Structures, Penn State)
Please enlighten us. What was carrying the diagonal load after
the south curtain was severed?
Undo what Wilson did
In addition, YOU explain how
In addition, YOU explain how every other building surround the towers had portions of it remain standing?
Giant holes in the buildings of WTC 3, 4 , and 5 yet they didn't magically free fall into their own footprint in a nice neat pile. Your theory bears no weight.
What is a "diagonal load"?
What is a "diagonal load"? There are vertical loads, like live loads and dead loads, and then there are lateral loads, like wind loads and seismic loads. I think you may be referring to the diagonal bracing, but without any plans or computations in front of me, I cannot determine anything, including the location, type, and loading of the lateral supports. But, lateral supports are only to protect against high wind events like hurricanes as seismic protection in NY is non-existent. The removal of the lateral bracing would not cause a TOTAL FREE FALL collapse, in which we saw EVERY SINGLE COLUMN destroyed SIMULTANEOUSLY, along with the foundation. Not even when a bomb tore through the Oklahoma City Federal Building did it result in an entire collapse of the structure. So please stop peddling your blatantly wrong theories. Your doing a great disservice to this community while making yourself look very very foolish and ignorant, at least in the engineering world. Have a good day.
"total free fall" "every single column" are mischaracterizations
You do a disservice to this community promoting them.
Visual collapse was the outer shell perimeter wall only. Fact. It fell over in two directions. Fact. It broke apart in large multi-story panels. Fact. No sign of cutting at critical break points. Fact.
Diagonal support for the entire south wall was destroyed by the gash.
That means each half of the building could move independent of the other except for one element, the roof truss (there's your answer). Lower portions could still sag laterally. It is a fact the east half was leaning north and the west half was leaning south. It is a fact there was a bulge in the SW corner area early in the day, reported by FDNY, who put a transit on it.
Loss of lateral stability in the core provided an avenue for heat expansion to push core columns out of plumb.
Lateral stability provided by the perimeter curtain ties the whole building together, serving much more purpose than just wind tolerance. The loads carried by the 4 or 5 south wall columns which were lost shifted to other parts of the curtain and the core.
Undo what Wilson did
notice there's no reply...
OK! So the 'gash' did it to WTC-7
How do you explain talcum powdered, certified and reinforced, concrete, that was inches deep all throughout the area?
Collapse doesn't transform concrete into dust in the quantities I saw.
And the vertical beams from WTC 1&2 were amazingly similar in length and angle cuts.
The pieces loaded onto flatbed trailers like they were standard lengths being picked-up at the mill. Right out of the rubble piles. Piping hot, several days later.
On Saturday and Sunday, my last days there, the fire was still producing a cloud of smoke that covered the area from ground zero all the way down beyond Battery Park.
The amount of jet fuel in two airliners was like a spit in the ocean in contrast to the sheer mass of the pulverized towers.
You answered your own question. They were factory lengths...
They broke apart at their connectors (all connections did not break, so some lengths were double or more).
But you are jumping all over the place. Let's stick with the damage to 7 and how that impacted collapse.
Undo what Wilson did
But there is
an interview with Silverstein where he says to "pull it" (WTC7).
WTC 7: Silverstein's "Pull It": Explanation Examined
Not saying it didn't get damaged but to implode as it did?
The law cannot make a wicked person virtuous…God's grace alone can accomplish such a thing.
Ron Paul - The Revolution
Setting a good example is a far better way to spread ideals than through force of arms. Ron Paul
"Pull it" isn't a Controlled Demolition term used by industry
The ONLY other recorded example of "pull it" being used related to demolition, was from the physical pulling down of WTC structure with cables, not controlled demolition using explosives. You could watch hours & hours & hours of documentaries that are about controlled demolition and not find any instance of "pull it" being used for any of them. Further, the FDNY had no authority to "controlled demolition" demolish any building, let alone any of the WTC buildings. Also if you try to argue that FDNY demolished 7 WTC, then you would have to entertain the notion that FDNY also helped demolish 1 & 2 WTC, with a few hundred of their own dying during the process. The Larry Silverstein "pull it" comment is used as purposeful misinformation.
Larry Silverstein is not a member of the controlled demolition
industry. So, whether it is an official term of the CDI is irrelevant. It is a slang term used for destroying something with demolition explosives in the broader community. I have heard it used to mean that decades before 2001 in movies and popular culture. Mr. Silverstein is not a young man. It seems plausible he wanted to sound educated on the topic and used jargon he thought appropriate.
If the "pull it" comment is used as purposeful misinformation, to what end is it being used?
[F]orce can only settle questions of power, not of right. - Clyde N. Wilson
Without causing an argument
I would bet you're unable and incapable of showing any recorded example from history, of the term "pull it" being used for any controlled demolition using explosives anywhere.
Ways it is being used as a piece of multi-pronged misinformation
1. Straw Man
It is easily provable that "pull it" is not a controlled demolition term; no one anywhere has provided any example of "pull it" being used for any controlled demolition using explosives anywhere.
The ONLY "example" that has been presented isn't of controlled demolition using explosives, instead it's of a clean up crew using cables to physically pull down part of WTC structure during clean up work at the WTC site.
"It's a controlled demolition term!" "Prove it." "I can't!" "Case closed."
2. Distraction
Most misinformation & disinformation is meant to muddy the waters and make it more difficult to find the truthful information, among attempting to discredit real information by mixing fake facts with real facts.
It offers convenient distraction and redirection from real facts and evidence, actual foreknowledge or participation, etc. so you get lost on a wild goose chase chasing - and defending - a phantom goose that isn't real.
3. Divisiveness
As with other misinformation & disinformation that is widely propagated and thus defended, it is meant to waste valuable time arguing about and defending, either for or against, and to divide & conquer by forcing sides to be chosen.
The "pull it" comment's been argued about for at least 10 years, yet here we are in 2014 still talking about it: person convinced it's real evidence, repeats it as such; then time is wasted to disprove and/or defend.
Me vs. You, instead of US vs. Them. Get it?
I honestly don't have any idea who the first person was who presented the "pull it" comment as evidence showing Controlled Demolition participation of Larry Silverstein regarding 7 WTC.
But whether it was by legit researcher or by paid operative or asset, it was seized upon both by good intentioned researchers - who didn't know any better - and by those who are tasked with protecting participants of the real 9/11 conspiracy.
In 2024 there are still going to be arguments online about the "pull it" comment, with good intentioned folks who were conned to believe it's real evidence, and operatives or assets, still defending the fake facts. Misinformation operation successful.
So will you admit you could be wrong?
I took these pictures myself from a construction dictionary...
I'm a serial entrepreneur and liberty activist from Texas!
Yes, I am capable of admitting being wrong. :)
Thank you for that. I just found the same reference at:
So yes, "pull" clearly is used in that type of blasting. I admit, I was wrong that "pull" isn't used in any type of explosive demolition. But still, that isn't the same as controlled demolition of structure, such as a high-rise building; it is of blasting rock in the bottom of a hole. Interesting find regardless. :)
"We're gettin' ready to pull building 6."
at 19 sec.
In this case, it is a controlled demolition with the use of cables.
Like I said, Larry Silverstein is not a demolitions expert. I think his statement on PBS is BS. The man he said he was talking to was a fireman who said to him the fires in the building could not be contained.
I don't think the fireman, who is not a demolitions expert either, would not be given the responsibility to demolish Building 7 using secretly planted demolition charges. The man Silverstein said he talked to on the telephone in that conversation denied talking to Silverstein that day.
There are many phrases that use the word "pull" to mean to trigger something: pull the trigger, pull the pin, pull my finger, etc.
I think Silverstein is a liar. In the end, it really doesn't matter what he said. I think the fortunate timing of his taking the insurance policies out on his buildings makes him suspicious.
[F]orce can only settle questions of power, not of right. - Clyde N. Wilson
You notice how that is 240p, so you don't have clarity
That was using the cables to physically pull down part of WTC structure, that I explained in my comment above if you would have taken the time to read it. You'll notice also that there are no explosives used in that "pull."
Who expected the towers to collapse?
Why did the mayor and his crew suddenly evacuate the building to begin with? And what about Barry Jennings, Deputy Director of the Emergency Services Department for the New York City Housing Authority (who died under suspicious circumstances, may his soul rest in peace) - the one who "didn't get the message" to evacuate - who testified to all sorts of structural mayhem within the building *prior* to the towers' collapse? Why was it said that no one died in WTC7 when Jennings said that, when he was finally rescued, they told him not to look down on account of bodies lying there (which he had to step around)? Why wasn't Jennings, a CREDIBLE WITNESS who'd been right in the THICK OF IT, called to testify before the 9/11 Commission? It's not the Silverstein comment alone. It's a lot of things that don't add up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRaKHq2dfCI

You'll notice, if you read my comment
That I didn't mention any of that. Try to read what I said.
I read all your comments. I'm aware
that you didn't mention any of what I said. That's why I did.
When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe.
~ John Muir
It seemed to me that you were
taking issue over the Silverstein comment. Frankly, I now don't know who to believe re the term "pull it" (which from 9/11 documentaries and video clips, I was under the impression was a fairly generic term to mean to deliberately take down a building via explosives (or other means), i.e., to demolish a building. Even assuming you were correct *on that point* (that it's not a term ever used for demolition with explosives), it wouldn't close the WTC7 issue for me. And so, I raised the other questions I still have, saying, "It's not the Silverstein comment alone. It's a lot of things that don't add up." I don't get your snicker. Oh, well.
When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe.

It wasn't a snicker.
Perhaps I was agreeing with you, or perhaps just acknowledging what you meant with your other reply.

What is going on in STF elite's
can't get shield to many newbs runing infected space elite
when can you make them just do normal first
tired of 2hr missions they don't get elite nerfed for fleet gear
3 real bad groups today
make it so no one on your ignore list can be put in an stf w/ you.
the guy doing the ignoring has priority in the que.
it wouldnt be perfect, but would be pretty effective.
ignore will never work anyone have 200 players in ignore list so it can easy happend that any player is in anyones ignore list so never more a random mission will start.
if you will do perfect runs do it with your fleet or friends in privat missions.
and the other point in infected space it can be done easy solo only serious firepower needet if you run 2 hours a infected mission with 5 players it is possible that the threat opener have nothing to search there to.;)
You could try something novel and be nice to newbies. Asking a question or two when the match starts or using even a few drops of mercy goes along way. Both ensure the next group they run with has a better player, and vastly improve the odds of recovering from mistakes.
If I can be blunt? Most of the problems I've had with STFs are just brand spanking new players that don't have anyone they can ask questions, and all the "older" (I will not say mature) players showing a need for anger management the first time something even looks like it might not be perfect.
If they don't ask, it is THEIR fault and their failure. The worst thing is, that a lot of players simply ignore the chat anyway and screw the STF up, even if they got a heads-up at the beginning.
And reading through those guide long after the fact and always thinking "I know nothing unless they tell me."? It's like sifting through salt for sugar. That is to say, I found them less then useful. (Why don't I add my own guides? Working on it.)
Instead of getting helpful answers they get told to get lost or raged at. When I do see someone ask a question? Without fail one of the "4 others" makes a rude comment. So, I not only have to take the time to do my job, and answer the question? I not have to handle a kid from raging out.
Why don't they seek guides or ask questions? You answered your own question, gerudon.
There comes a point that you have to realize that there are a lot of mental defuncts who play this game and that it is a waste of time grouping with them. Just get yourself a good fleet, or stick to eliteSTF and you should be fine.
i would gladly accept a 10 min waiting queue than to grp with someone on my ignore list.
wrong thread buddy. go preach the 'no pugs!' somewhere else than in the very place where it has been disproven time and time again.

TRAFFIC is starting to build up back on to the A34 because of the new contraflow on the Southern Bypass because of the Kennington roundabout work.
Drivers are having to wait in both directions on the A423 Southern Bypass, whilst there are delays southbound just before the Hinksey Hill sliproad on the A34.
The traffic is expected to get worse because of the contraflow between roundabouts for Abingdon Road and the A34.
Buses are also being affected by the roadworks, with Oxford Bus Company having to divert some routes to avoid the congestion.
The X13/X3 services to and from Abingdon are currently diverting via St Swithuns Road, while there are 30 minute delays for the X3, X13, 13 and 35 services.
It comes after a horrific morning commute for thousands of motorists. There were queues northbound on the A34 as far south as Milton.
There were reports on Twitter from frustrated drivers that northbound traffic coming into the city was at a "standstill."
Traffic jams were reported to be stretching from Hinskey all the way along the A34 to Drayton.
Drivers travelling in the area are expected to suffer "severe" delays after Oxfordshire County Council warned last week the next phase of the improvement scheme at the junctions was set to begin on Sunday.
- Gridlocked traffic at the Kennington roundabout as work begins
Drivers from South Oxfordshire and the Vale saw their journey times into Oxford almost triple this morning as roadworks hampered their morning commute.
Some said on social media that the drive from Abingdon to Oxford – normally 20 to 25 minutes – had been taking longer than an hour and a quarter. Northbound traffic coming into the city was said to be at a "standstill."
Drivers travelling in the area should expect to suffer severe delays, Oxfordshire County Council warned last week, after the next phase of the improvement scheme at the Oxford junctions began on Sunday.
That has seen a 24-hour contraflow system introduced between Hinksey Hill Interchange and Heyford Hill Interchange, which is expected to last until November.
As a result of the contraflow system, there is also restricted to side roads of the A423.
It is hoped that when the work, which will convert Kennington Roundabout into a "hamburger" junction, will eventually reduce congestion.
Oxford Bus Company said its X13, 13 and X3 services were all affected and Stagecoach said its 3, 12, 16, X30, 31 and 34 services were all facing delays. One bus passenger said his journey from Abingdon on the X3 had taken more than two hours to reach Oxford Station.

Firing on all Pistons
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — The defending champion Detroit Pistons got a burst of life, and so did the NBA Finals.
Playing with a furious energy that was nowhere to be found in the first two games, Ben Wallace and Richard Hamilton led the way as the Pistons won 96-79, thoroughly outplaying the San Antonio Spurs in the second half of Game 3 Tuesday night.
Blue Jays edge Cards
TORONTO — Roy Halladay says he feels he is pitching as well as he did in 2003, when he won the American League Cy Young Award. The statistics show he is better.
Halladay pitched a five-hitter for his major league-leading fifth complete game, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-1 on Monday night.
U.S. Open Test Approaches
PINEHURST, N.C. — Four days ago, Conrad Ray was getting ready for the summer golf camp at Stanford University, where he just finished his first year as the golf coach.
Monday morning, he was on the first tee with Tiger Woods, getting ready for the U.S. Open.
Giddens' future at KU uncertain
OLATHE, Kan. — Kansas fans who are finally getting over that embarrassing loss to little Bucknell have something new to grate on their nerves.
It's not clear whether J.R. Giddens, the Jayhawks leading returning scorer who is recovering from a knife wound he suffered in a fight outside a Lawrence bar, will be allowed to rejoin the team. And it's not clear he should.
Edwards flips again
Carl Edwards turned his first laps at Pocono Raceway playing a video game.
He paid attention, and when it came time for the real thing, nobody was better.
Spurs bolt by Pistons
Two steps quicker, two games ahead.
The San Antonio Spurs were at their best Sunday night in Game 2 of the NBA Finals, speeding out to a big early lead and frustrating the Detroit Pistons the rest of the way in a 97-76 victory for a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven championship round.
Good Clean Fun
The drivers' fresh sunburns clashed with their bright orange shirts. Tearing down one of Columbia's main thoroughfares in their colorful six-foot-long cars livened up the downtown considerably Sunday.

There were 110 golfers who took part in the qualifying round for the Francis Hagan Match Play Championship on Saturday at Lake of the Woods Golf Course. David McDonald, Dee Sanders and Scott Sasek led the field with low rounds of even par 71.
The qualifying round cut the field down to 64 for the start of match play competition today. Two rounds are scheduled to narrow the field to 32 with the final rounds set for next weekend.
New season, new uniforms

Royals waste shot at rare road sweep
SAN FRANCISCO — Felipe Alou frequently speaks of "stopping the bleeding." Perhaps the San Francisco Giants have bandaged their troubles for a day.
Edgardo Alfonzo hit a go-ahead single in the sixth inning and pinch-hitter Pedro Feliz added a key two-run double, helping San Francisco snap a six-game home losing streak with a 9-7 victory against the Kansas City Royals on Thursday.
Cards challenge slipping Yankees
ST. LOUIS — After taking two of three from the team that swept them in the World Series, the St. Louis Cardinals move on to an even higher-profile series.

Rain not obstacle to fan's loyalty
Just two days after a trip to the emergency room, Jack Frier drove from his home in St. Louis to Memorial Stadium on Wednesday to participate in the filming of a commercial for the Missouri football team, only to find out that it was cancelled due to thunderstorms. The shoot has been tentatively rescheduled for next week.
Frier said he cut his hand on the chicken wire around his birdfeeder on Monday. He had to be rushed to the hospital to get stitches to stop the bleeding.
Royals deal Marrero to Orioles for prospect
PITTSBURGH — The Baltimore Orioles, thin on the bench because of injuries, acquired outfielder-first baseman Eli Marrero from the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday for minor league infielder Pete Maestrales.
Marrero, who had 10 home runs and 40 RBIs last season as a part-time player with the Braves, will undergo a physical Thursday. If he passes, he will join the Orioles in Cincinnati on Friday, when a roster move will be made to accommodate him.
Pirates select Boone
James Boone proved he was a solid baseball player when he hit a home run in his first game as a Tiger. He proved it once again Tuesday when the Pittsburgh Pirates picked him in third round of the Major League First-Years Player Draft.
"This is everybody's dream, and definitely my dream. It's something you never thought would happen to you," Boone said. "You would look at other people and think, 'Wow, I wish I were there."

Arizona chooses Upton as No. 1 pick
NEW YORK — Justin Upton was simply too good for the Arizona Diamondbacks to pass up.
Despite having a few talented shortstops already in their minor league system, the Diamondbacks added another when they made the Virginia high school star the top pick in the baseball draft Tuesday.

Historical Traveler Reviews Renaissance Paris Hotel Le Parc Trocadero
Quaint, clean and away from the noise
This is the 2nd time we stay at the Le Parc. The staff is very friendly and courteous. The rooms are small, but clean and nicely furnished. The hotel is quiet at night. The Victor Hugo metro is a 5 minute walk, as well as, the Trocadero metro. It is away from all the noise of the city, yet situated within nice restaurants and boulangerie. I would definitely stay here again.
Recent stay-Dec 26-30, 2004
We previously stayed at Le Parc about 8 years ago and though it was great. This time we thought it was even better. We travelled with our two daughters ( ages 12 and 13 ) and the staff really went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable.
The rooms were extremely clean, the bed very comfortable and the bathrooms up to date. We had a room facing a beautiful courtyard and another room with a great view to the Eiffel Tower.
The location is perfect because it is in a very quiet part of town and has great access to the rest of the city via the Victor Hugo Metro station right around the corner.
There are great restaurants within walking distance and plenty of drugstores and markets.
The staff was extremely courteous and all spoke great english.
I highly recommend this hotel.
Great Hotel
This is a lovely hotel in a very smart area of Paris. Our room faced into the courtyard, and was very quiet which is a real bonus for a Parisian hotel. The staff were friendly and extremely helpful, without being over solicitous. As for not being close to anywhere....the nearest metro is 2 minutes walk, the Trocadero less than 5 minutes, and the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe less than 10. We are regular visitors to Paris, and will definitely stay here again.
Not satisfied with Le Parc Paris Sofitel Demeure
We rang several days before our arrival date explaining that my wife has special dietary needs.
It was agreed that her special requirements would be catered for.
When we arrived no arrangements were made and no one was even slightly interested.
We love Paris, Not Le Parc Paris Sofitel Demeure!
I thought le parc was wonderful
I thought the hotel was wonderful.it was very clean and very well run.It is situated near to the metro system and the seines boat service so getting around is easy.It is far enough from the hustle and bustle to retreat to at night with many local restraunts and bars situated on the same street.I had a wonderful Birthday weekend.No matter where i looked i couldn`t find a stained carpet ????
this hotel was terrible DO NOT STAY HERE the carpet was so filthy and the location was bad away from everthing. We had read from so many places that this hotel is good but it is not.
Traveling Alone?
Le Parc is a welcome haven of peace, quiet, sophistication and top service. Having just spent three nights in a junior suite for a weekend stop before returning home to the states, I was impressed with their warm reception, attention to detail and gracious willingness to please (particularly to a woman traveling alone). Superb housekeeping, decor, sheets - the magnolias were blooming in the courtyard and the morning croissant and coffee were superb. Highly recommended. Plan to return with my husband to share the romance and charm of the atmosphere.
Superb restaurants and shopping steps away. Top marks all around.
We stayed here sept 23-26, 2003. Staff is xcellent. They personally show you to your room and when I seemed upset about the deluxe room he took us to a jr. suite. without an upcharge. )However no balconies which was a disappointment.
We had booked the B&B and breakfast was awesome and delivered to our room (wake up call!). Lovely fruits and breads and soft boiled eggs and lot's of coffee.
The only negative was first impression of halls and rooms wasn't good as the rugs are stained. The more we looked it was just the rugs and some nicked paint on the walsl which could be eliminated quickly. The beds were very comfortable and bathrooms are beautiful with granite and robes, slippers etc.
We didn't have time to eat in the restaurant so can't comment on that but overall an enjoyable and good value even with the dollar sinking daily.
Miss you Paris.
Love the Le Parc
We go to Paris every year and after trying several other hotels, we have settled on this one as our hotel. It is well-situated, only a few blocks from two different Metro lines, near great shops and neighborhood brasseries and bistros. Rooms are attractive, very reasonably priced and the rate we select includes a lovely breakfast buffet. Great value for central location.
Great hotel
The hotel is well located, very attractive, with a good staff. It is a quiet neighborhood with easy access to the metro and restaurants. We stayed at the Parc during the heat wave and the a.c. broke. The hotel upgraded us to a suite and gave us a fan. The only deficiency is the so-called business center - a desk in the lobby with dial up internet service and an inadequate computer.

Dec 20, 2011For her second solo album, the Dresden Dolls' Amanda Palmer slapped together an album-full of songs about Australia and New Zealand to coincide with her 2011 tour of the Australian continent.
Mar 22, 2011Amanda Palmer Goes Down Under is, simply, a lot of fun. Some of that fun might most appeal to the countries it's directed at, but those feeling no particular kinship to Australia or New Zealand will still find Amanda's quirkiness endearing.
Mar 1, 2011It's touching, witty, and like everything else the Bostonian ever does, brilliant.

All You Need Is Love
"The family-run Green Mountain Country Store is cherished by locals as a reminder of simpler times. The Abbott children are determined to keep it that way--but their father has different plans... When Cameron Murphy heads to Vermont to build a website for a new client, she imagines a more relaxing trip than she gets. After wrecking her car by colliding with the town moose, she meets the most handsome hero she's ever seen. Unfortunately, her savior, Will Abbott, is also the son of her client--and he wants nothing to do with the new website or the city girl creating it. For all Will cares, Cameron can march her fancy boots right out of town and out of his family's business. But he can't seem to get her out of his head. As his family's dispute heats up, so does the chemistry between the two, leaving them wondering if simple is better after all--especially when it comes to matters of the heart."-- From back cover.

> to any single freaking taxi ride i have ever taken
How many taxis have you ridden in, in how many countries ? Because I've had some great rides. Pricey, but lovely.
Really ? I've been able to replace loads on Apple laptops over the years. More modern ones are harder, but so are the comparable windows machines. That's because to make them small and light, they're soldering things to other things.
This can't be restored because the police do not want it restored. The are under investigation for abuse of stop and search powers, and racial profiling. Suddenly all of the reports that they have to file after each stop and search are gone. IT error my ass.
I think it's a little worse here in the UK than I've ever seen it before. Right now, teachers are being suspended if someone they live with has anything show up on their vetting.
Live with a guy who got a DUI 5 years ago ? Get suspended. Live with a guy who had an assault charge (note - charge, not necessarily conviction) brought against him? Suspended.
The government say that they've told the schools to use their discretion, but the schools have learned through issues like the Baby P fiasco not to trust that and will simply enforce the very letter of the new guidelines.
Hmmm - in the UK, I would list the following: Cigarettes, alcohol, unhealthy fast food and cars. All of those kill more people than guns here.
And that's despite tens of thousands of privately held guns. We have very few murders that use legally held guns here.
Could you setup some meetings with thousands of town and city planners around the world and let them know that - thanks!
BT are looking to buy them. If that happens, it'll be as bad as every other BT outfit.
The design of a range I shoot at means that on windy days we'll occasionally be hit with shot on the way down. It's normally either 9 or 7.5 (skeet or sporting), and it's no more than an annoyance.
As opposed to the current government, under which many shotguns and firearms (except handguns other than for humane despatch) are legal ?
I see this statement time and time again. The UK has tens of thousands of privately held firearms and shotguns. Just not handguns.
They're only shaky cam when they come out before / around the same time as cinemas. After that, they're normally high quality rips that offer a better user experience than the official products (http://craphound.com/images/ifurapirate.jpeg)
The article has changed since I first read it from 'charged with' to 'accused of'
The Metropolitan Police said the men are accused of taking an oath of allegiance to the Islamic State (IS) militant group and arranging to buy a handgun equipped with a silencer and conducting "hostile reconnaissance" of a police station and Army barracks in London using Google Street View.
A number of men in the UK were recently charged with terrorism offences. One of the charges was for 'aggressive hostile surveilance using Google Maps'.
Got any streetview maps that include anything deemed sensitive in the UK ? Your skin a little brown? Don't use a fingerprint for auth here then!
Laws governing some guns here still use foot pound second as the legal measurement.
Firstly, where do you plan to evacuate a significant percentage of the world's population to ? Secondly, how are you going to decide who is worthy of evacuation and who has just put his gun down and is hiding with the locals to make sure he can carry on the abuse and oppression in their new location ? Finally, how are you going to get this food to them ?
Food nutrition or availability isn't the problem - the problem is identifying valid recipients and then getting it past every government agent, checkpoint thug and warlord into the region.
I've worked in strange places in Africa and I've seen a lot of this first hand. The only fix is for people to organise and setup governments that are fair and have their people's interests at heart. That won't happen without massive amounts of education and people believing they can change things, and vested external interests stepping aside so that this can happen. I doubt very much that this will happen in my lifetime, short of a massively powerful nation deciding it is in their best interests.
Watching China's march into Africa is very interesting to me for these reasons.

Meir Panim delivers warmth, special care to families in need.
The Gemara in Baba Basra 119b relays the following conversation that took place in this week's parshah: Moshe Rabbeinu was teaching the halachos of yibum when the daughters of Tzelaphchad approached him with the following question: Our father died in the midbar and did not have any sons. Why then is our mother not required to fulfill the obligation of yibum? And if the fact that he had daughters is the reason that she is not obligated to fulfill this requirement, why then can we (his daughters) not receive an inheritance – just like sons would?
The Gemara in Shabbos 96b says in the name of Rabbi Akiva that Tzelaphchad was the individual who was mekoshesh eitzim (the gatherer of wood) in the midbar on Shabbos. This act of Shabbos desecration was the reason he was put to death.
The Chasam Sofer (Teshuvos 6, likutim 56) was asked the following question: The Mordechai's opinion is that a mummar's wife does not fall into the category of yibum since the deceased husband is not worthy of having his name upheld. How then could the daughters of Tzelaphchad have asked that their mother be required to fulfill yibum when their father was, in Rabbi Akiva's view, a mummar due to having been the mekoshesh? Why didn't Moshe Rabbeinu simply answer that their father was considered a mummar, thus negating their mother's requirement to fulfill yibum?
One answer that the Chasam Sofer offers is that the halacha of the Mordechai only applies when one dies while still a mummar, for only then is he not worthy of retaining his name. However, Tzelaphchad did teshuvah before he died and therefore his wife could fall to yibum even according to the Mordechai. We see this from the fact that the Torah listed with him all of his ancestors – who were all tzaddikim.
Another answer that the Chasam Sofer suggests is that the Mordechai's halacha does not apply to a mummar unless he leaves the religion and joins a different one. Only such a person is not worthy of having his name upheld. But a mummar who does not leave the religion to join another one, even if he desecrates Shabbos or does avodah zarah, is still worthy of having his name upheld. Thus, even the Mordechai would agree that his wife would fall to yibum; hence Tzelaphchad's wife was able to fall to yibum.
The Chasam Sofer also points out that the question is based on a premise that is not necessarily true. He says that it is not clear whether the mekoshesh acted in public or in private when desecrating Shabbos. Had he acted in private, he does not attain the status of a mummar. There is a machlokes as to which melachah the mekoshesh transgressed; one says he carried four amos in reshus ha'rabim, another says he cut off the branches, and a third says he was making piles. According to the opinions that he cut off the branches or that he made piles, there is no indication that he acted in public. Therefore he would not be considered a mummer and his wife could fall to yibum.
On face value it seems that the Chasam Sofer forgot a Tosafos in Sanhedrin (78b d"h lo). There Tosafos says that Moshe Rabbeinu reasoned that the mekoshesh should deserve death by stoning, since a mechalel Shabbos in public is likened to one who does avodah zarah (who is stoned). The Chasam Sofer's father-in-law, Rabbi Akiva Eiger, understands the Tosafos to mean that he acted in public. We see this from his question on Tosafos. He asks that since according to Tosafos a mechalel Shabbos can be killed (just as one who does avodah zarah, since a mechalel Shabbos is likened to a practitioner of avodah zarah), how do we then know what Hashem's answer to Moshe was? Perhaps Hashem agreed with Moshe that the mekoshesh should be stoned only because he acted in public, thereby likening him to one who did avodah zarah. However, one who desecrates Shabbos in private but who is not compared to one who does avodah zarah would receive death by strangulation (the form of death given when the Torah does not specify which form of death).
