In failing Vick, NFL Players Association fails itself
And so it is done. Michael Vick is finished and likely heading to prison. His battle is now with the federal government and the cold reality that whenever he emerges from his punishment, he will not be the same man he is today.
While the federal government, the NFL and Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank all stand tall today, it is the NFL Players Association and head Gene Upshaw who stand to lose the most.
Although public recognition is not always the best barometer of influence, Upshaw nevertheless has not been mentioned as a power player involved at the table negotiating Vick's return or the terms of Vick's inevitable suspension.
By making player conduct his first big task, the matter upon which he has staked the first year of his term as NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell focused on an issue that certainly appealed to fans and simultaneously put the NFLPA on the defensive. Goodell has been strong on this subject, and the union has been on the run ever since.
Instead, the union is gambling that its partnership with Goodell is more valuable than the kind of adversarial approach other sports unions have with their commissioners. Upshaw is banking on cultivating the commissioner and his office to avoid surprises and possible embarrassment for either side. Although many of his defenders believe this is the correct approach, the reality is the union has allowed itself to be upstaged.
And now Upshaw's absence in the Vick case is a chilling signal to every player donning a helmet in the NFL today.
In a statement earlier this week, Upshaw said the criminal conduct to which Vick will plead guilty "cannot be condoned under any circumstances."
"Speaking personally, as I have previously stated, the practice of dogfighting is offensive and completely unacceptable," Upshaw said. "I can only hope that Mr. Vick, who is a young man, will learn from this awful experience."
In the coming years, that will prove to be a colossal mistake. Vick deserves to go to prison, but the union's job is to defend every player's right to work.
The Major League Baseball Players Association, built and sustained by Marvin Miller, Donald Fehr and three generations of resolute players, long ago answered the question of defending the indefensible. The multiple drug abuse cases of Steve Howe, the spitting incident of Roberto Alomar and most recently the way the players association has handled much of the steroids era have served as examples of a union not finding itself on the right or popular side of an issue and at risk of damaging its public image. The rationale was this: How you fight today sets the parameters for the battles of tomorrow.
"I know that the first thing everyone is going to say is that Donald Fehr would have never stood for this, or for the way the thing with Pacman went down," said a source within the NFLPA. "But this is a different situation. What could we have done with Vick? With Pacman, it was the number of repeat offenses that tied up our hands. We did what we could, but it wasn't like -- especially in the Vick situation -- like we had a lot of leverage."
It is unclear whether Upshaw is at the bargaining table now in negotiating a settlement for Vick's suspension and parameters for -- however remote -- a potential return to the NFL. He's vacationing until after Labor Day. But neither Vick nor Pacman Jones nor Tank Johnson is the union's real issue.
The issue is precedent.
The reason is clear. The responsibility of a union is to defend its membership -- every time, all the time, if for no other reasons than to send a dissenting vote to management that its membership always will be protected by a strong union and to alert the commissioner that his powers always will be checked by an advocate for the players. The union's message should be that a commissioner cannot simply do whatever he wants.
Football, at least publicly and to the future detriment of its players, seems to have lost much of this lesson in favor of labor peace and public tranquility.
In an example of sturdy, faith-restoring professionalism unimpressed by celebrity in a celebrity-obsessed culture, the feds soberly and joylessly got their man. Along the way, we have seen the law-and-order Goodell act swiftly and decisively to establish his image as new but not intimidated by the players or his responsibility.
Player and league sources say the union and league have a "no surprises" policy, within which the union is kept apprised of the thinking inside the commissioner's office, which is why the league and union do not fight as publicly and ruthlessly as in, for example, Major League Baseball. An NFLPA source disputes the idea that over the past few months Goodell has gotten everything he wanted at the expense of the union, pointing to the concession Goodell made in the Pacman Jones case that, should he avoid incident, Jones could be reinstated by Week 10 instead of serving a year's suspension.
Another source said that in keeping up with the "no surprises" mandate, the union has been in close communication with the commissioner's office during its independent investigation of Vick "every step of the way." One player representative from an NFC team said Vick was not abandoned by the union, but was stealthily aided by it -- Billy Martin, Vick's lead counsel, joined the Vick defense team on the recommendation of the union.
What Goodell has done, shrewdly and effectively, is to tap the mood of the country and use it in creating his mandate. Just as in the late 1960s and '70s, when a collective energy existed to empower the players with more freedom of movement, greater salaries and post-career opportunities in baseball, now there is momentum for the disciplining of today's elite who believe their checkbooks elevate them beyond the reach of the public, responsibility and the law. The common attitude today is that players are out of control, above accountability, empowered to be absolved of responsibility by the teams that pay them and the leagues that publicly condemn abhorrent behavior but refuse to administer proper sanction. Jason Giambi acknowledged his "personal history regarding steroids," but MLB commissioner Bud Selig did not take action against him.
In the NFL, Goodell has shattered that conception in the opening year of his first term. Sanctioning players is his right and, as commissioner, his responsibility. The commissioner does not work for the players. Only in the sense that the league's interests parallel those of the 32 owners is he even employed to better the game on the field. Whether the name is Goodell, Rozelle, Selig or Stern, all sports commissioners work for the owners. They are hired by owners, not the players, after all. Goodell is not the players' advocate.
Each Goodell victory today without a loud, dissenting union voice makes the union's job of defense in a less clear circumstance -- a player not facing charges as serious as Jones or Vick but with as high a profile -- that much more difficult.
Difficulty in overcoming Goodell's guidelines for suspensions will be the price for today's passivity.
Upshaw will wear the bull's-eye, but the issue is more with some of his players who seemed unable to separate Vick from the larger issue of checking the commissioner. The union, because of the severity of the offenses involving some of its players -- Vick's barbarism has lost him credibility as a man, while Jones' actions might have led to an innocent person's being paralyzed for life -- has been backed into a defensive position.
Focusing on Vick or Jones specifically undermines the larger issue, which is to curb the power of the commissioner in the future.
"I know it looks like Gene is always in the owners' pocket," said one NFC player, "but what could you do with this? This dude was, like, shooting dogs in the head, drowning them and whatnot. I don't agree with Gene, especially on the retired players thing, but Vick is too hot right now. You'd be out of your mind to touch him."
So the union has an understanding that it won't be blindsided by a runaway commissioner, adopting a position closer to equity shareholder than skeptical watchdog. It has labor peace and can take comfort in not worrying about losing public goodwill during contract years or losing face should its membership crack during pressurized labor negotiations. The union seems comforted that it is treated as an inside player instead of a hostile entity. But what good is maintaining the peace if it is not accompanied by power?

The 29er is narrower at 18mm internal width, but they could be a nice option for an unbreakable wheelset. Not light at ~2kg.

Here's what happened.
I was using 4.2 Jelly Beans ROM and wanted to try 4.4.2 based new roms.
I backed up with Titanium, updated TWRP to 184.108.40.206 with Flashify, wiped cash+data+dalvik and flashed Slimkat 4.4.2.
It seemed like it's working well until I found out that it won't recognize my 32GB SD card.
I decided to flash another rom, to 4.3 Alliance rom.
So I started flashing MJ9 firmware via Odin, but it got stuck on the screen on the attached pic.
It did not make any progress for more than 1 hr, so I disconnected phone from PC and tried to boot up.
It's stuck on the screen on the attached pic.
Please help me out..

Abalone shine to guide me
Love the wind through your words tonight
Love the fall and gauge...
Swim like mad through the raging waters
Wishes liquid spiral daughter
I tread soft in the silky shallows
Moon shine - we're all star dust...
Choose my moment, lose my spirit
Reasoning you'll tread to hear it
Every gulp of salty water
Amounts to my own birth
Tip of your tongue lights the night's blue eye
Each of your words a heaving star bite
Match me in stride and we'll swim 'till sunlight
Enter the current and ride...
Each inspiration, a different star point
tenderly dipped in leaded glass
and allowed to dry.
Star skins unmolded birth devotion,
breed insurrection,
and are extremely edible
(though they never pass through you)
They go down sharp and imbed themselves
into your throat, your lungs, your very being.
Each point of inspiration a delicacy,
a mood swing in transit,
a feast.
Spread me this feast in a famine,
starving of long burnt out star shine and glass
I am filled up at each point of abandon,
glowing white heat and still spinning...
You're going to be a dead star
With no life to celebrate
A self-celebrated saint
A self contorted brilliant
Man, who wrote and sought,
The best he can.
You're going to be a dead star
Writing to future generation
Fair warning theme of repeated
Tragedies and reoccurring events
You're going to be a dead star
A self-distorted brilliant master
Mind, a dumbfounded, contorted
Wisdom of word for boredom
You're going to be a dead star
Speaking of parables and double standards
Life lessons and overestimation
Qualifications and parallels
They are going to marvel
At your verse of
Of fountains
For lack of better words

The color I received wasn't what I expected, and didn't match my skin tone, but it's a sample so no worries! These pen glosses are always tricky. I either twist out too much or too little. The product does feel a little sticky, but after a few minutes of wearing, that seems to fade. So all in all, it was average to me.3
The image at Birchbox and Mally for Lipety Split has more red/coral tones (which I was going for). When I received my order the color is more nude/peach with gold sparkle. It's not what I thought it would be at all. I put it on and it's more of a natural looking gloss with some gold flecks in it. I thought it would have more color. I own the Mally Melon pen and absolutely love it. No gold sparkle and great melon pigment. I would recommend Lipety Split for those that want a light shimmer look but not for those looking for more pigment and no shimmer. I would suggest that Mally provide a new image of the pen's color because in my opinion it's not accurate. Additionally it would be nice to know which colors are flat and which have shimmer as pictures can be deceiving. I am giving a lower rating based on the color issue and that I'm not a huge fan of glitter in my gloss.2
My initial reaction upon receiving this product was something along the lines of "Oh, great, another sticky, sparkly, hard-to-apply lip-gloss that will look totally tacky and have no use-value." Despite my close-mindedness, I was pleasantly surprised. The color is actually pretty sheer and more moisturizing than it is sticky. My only complaint would be that the gloss comes out sort of erratically... at times one twist results in a massive glob on the brush, and at others I feel like i've been twisting for hours with nothing to show for it. The brush makes up for this though, allowing for precision gloss placement.3

Cheap and Nasty
Stopped here whilst visting london, never again if you want cheap and nasty then this is fine, the rooms are dirty the so called en-suite is no more than a very small converted walk in wardrope.
breakfast is well, just dont bother go else where is my advice.
got lied to as well, got told the rest of the money will come out of bank, no got asked for it the next morning after stopping there for the first night.
i will never stop here again and i advice people to look elsewhere oko it might be cheap but id rather pay a few extra pounds for somewhere more pleasent.
Never again
We have stayed in many hotels. both in London and several other parts of the UK, over the years, but never one like this. I know it is cheap and I was not expecting luxury, but I did expect a certain standard from a 2 star hotel. I had originally booked the accomodation at an other hotel through an agency and paid in advance, but on arriving was told there was a problem with the room and we were being accomodated at a 'sister hotel'. The room was small, the en-suite was a joke. The basin was so small you couldn't wash your face without hitting it on the taps. When the toilet was flushed. it continued to fill up so there was the constant sound of running water. The glasses, which we found in a drawer were lipstick stained and sticky. The double bed had been made up with single sheets and a single bed blanket, so there was nothing to tuck in. Fortunately we were only staying for 2 nights, but I am concerned that the many foreign guests who were staying there go home with wrong impression of English hotels. There are many similarly priced hotels which offer a far better standard than this one. I am writing to the agency to express my displeasure and suggest they check it over before recommending it.
Great Hotel to use as a base to explore London. Its not much; a small room, a smaller bathroom, TV, and a good breakfast. We stayed for 3 nights. Every day the sheets were changed and the room was cleaned. The staff was very friendly and helpfull. I'd stay here again. Its real close to the UNderground Station "Earl's Court" and numerous restaurants are in the area.
Stay away. Stay somewhere else.
Our family spent 4 nights over Christmas. The room was in the basement.
The underground ran right outside our window. The room was dirty and sheets were not changed the whole time we were there. The bathroom and shower was dirty and moldy and the whole room smelled moldy. The staff were very unfriendly and unhelpful with our complaints. The included breakfast was terrible, cold toast, stale corn flakes, warm milk, cold coffee and bugs and the breakfast room smelled and was dirty.
A place to sleep
Since we booked our hotel through Priceline, my husband and I had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. Ramsees is conveniently located on the Piccadilly Line so we were able to easily get to and from Heathrow, and the hotel was only half a block away from a Zone 1 tube. The rooms are incredibly TINY TINY. The bathroom was dark and moldy and our shower had ZERO PRESSURE. The hotel is extremely old and it would benefit with some renovation, especially with their windows.
The sink has only a hot and cold option. The hotel staff was adequate for the little price we paid. We discovered that some rooms didn't even have a bathroom, but thank god ours did. This was the smallest shower I ever showered in and the door to our bathroom didn't have a lock and it wouldn't close all the way! I don't know if this hotel lives up to a "2-star" but for the price we paid we can look the other way.
Not as bad as I thought it might be.
I stayed at the Ramsees Oct 27 - 30th 2003. It wan't as bad as I thought it might be. I have worked in the hotel industry 10 years and if anyone is going to be critical of a place it is me. It is basically a place where you go and sleep, and as we were gone most of the day sightseeing it was exactly what we were looking for, and not alot of money, we paid 50 pounds a night. The room was small but relatively clean, you can tell that they do not have the Canadian standards, ie; dusty behind desk, bed etc, but only if you were really looking. The thing that I found the most odd was the 3 foot space that contained the toilet and shower, that was a first for me. Overall a great experience.
The breakfast was good, cereal, toast, coffee, tea and orange juice, kept us going till lunch. I would go back.
2-star should be 1-star at Ramsees
2-star hotel but should be 1-star at best. Expected small rooms but bathroom was as small or smaller than in a motor home! (*However, there was a FULL bath at end of hall.) Water had to run for at least 10-15 minutes to get tepid or at least barely warm enough for a shower.
Mattresses were inner- coil with hardly any padding and very uncomfortable-I layed an extra double-folded blanket under the sheet that helped satisfactorily. However, it IS a budget hotel and we were there for sightseeing and just needed a room for sleeping and bathing so it served it's purpose. I would stay again but would liked to have known what I was getting into up front.
Poor Choice
A dilapidated Room; a small, dirty bathroom; and poor management were my experience of this hotel. (The bathroom was so dirty that I had to clean it prior to showering.) Two reservations were made for two different sets of dates. Both were cancelled. The first reservation was cancelled the morning after arriving. The second reservation was cancelled days in advance of my planned stay. The cancellation policy of this hotel is "Cancel By 12 Noon, Hotel Time, 1 Day Prior To Arrival To Avoid A Penalty Of 1 Nights Room And Tax." (Taken from a website featuring the Ramsees Hotel) No monies were refunded by this establishment despite the policy and my requests. Continue your search!! There are many fine hotels in London.

Which rose would be best for a pot?
I've decided to try and grow a rose in a pot this spring and looked around at Lowes, Home Depot, etc to see what's available in my area. From what I can get easily I've narrowed it down to three choices that I especially like: Charisma, Granada, or Rainbow Sorbet.
anyone have experiences with these in pots? Especially in eastern WA around spokane?
I'm willing to bet you'll be happy with Charisma. I grew it when I lived in FL. Beautiful full bush covered in those bright orange/yellow blooms. Will be adding it to my garden up here soon. Granada is to big for most pots. Rainbow Sorbet will get black spot and didn't bloom enough for me.
I've grown Granada in a pot for 6 years and it's done very well for me. I have done a root prune on it once in that time. Now my season is shorter than yours so I don't get as quick growth but even so I think it would be a good pot rose.
As for Charisma, I have finally quit buying it. I have bought a total of 5 of them over the years and none of them turned out to actually be Charisma. I did get a few interesting roses out of the mislabels but I've had enough of the guessing games. I still have one I've never been able to ID!
I don't know any of those roses so can't help you with your question. I did a search for Granada on www.helpmefind.com, a rose data base, and noticed it is listed at 4-6 feet, so I would wonder if that would do well in a pot.
But what I mostly wanted to say is there is a really nice rose nursery in your town, Northland Rosarium. They carry a lot of roses, a much wider variety, than you'll find at a box store. I put a link to them below. If you live in the area, I think it would be worth going to visit and talk to them about what would do well in a pot.
Good luck!
Here is a link that might be useful: Northland Rosarium, Spokane
What size pot are you thinking about?
For a full-sized rose, I would plan for a pot that is MINIMUM 20-inches across, and more would be better. The smaller the pot, the greater the probability that your plant will not succeed, long-term.
Be sure to NOT use a saucer under the pot, and in fact, raise it up on "pot-feet," or bricks (or something) so that it can drain freely. Failure of drainage is one good reason for failure to succeed with potted roses.
Granada is a beautiful, beautiful rose, but even at its introduction it was held to "set new standards" for powdery mildew. It does. You might consider something more modern -- only because in recent years, hybridizers really have paid more attention to disease-resistance than they did for many decades.
In a large enough pot, you might try 'Julia Child.'
'Livin' Easy' might please you.
Jeri in SoCal
(Sorry -- Not PNW, but at least West Coast!)
Thanks for the replies.
Harborrose - thanks especially for that link! I got a catalog from them and while they don't carry anything I listed above that I noticed (figures, right? ;) ) they did have a few others that look promising and I like the idea of knowing where my rose was grown!
So in that case I'd also like to ask for any experiences with:
Sheila's Perfume
Of those Sheila's Perfume seems most attractive, especially since it seems to be smaller, and it's really lovely in the photos I can find. Any more thoughts of course would be welcome!
Also- will definitely keep that in mind about drainage.

"One of the most important books our time !"
I give this audio book my HIGHEST recommendation! The material is erudite and intellectually difficult at times, but I challenge you to listen to this book (possibly over-and-over again) and see if it doesn't open your mind to a whole new way of observing and UNDERSTANDING yourself and the world (people) around you.
I read "The Blank Slate" several years ago when it was first published and I was ELATED to now be able to enjoy it again in an unabridged audio format. This book is exceedingly important, as it gives one a very deep, new, understanding of human nature. Pinker is an amazing and rare intellectual power-house and is able to bring together the works of various scholars in myriad scientific disciplines and weave all this information together into a logical, cohesive and comprehensive perspective on human nature.
Pinker's book is made even more engaging and enjoyable by Audible's production quality and most notably, by their choice of Victor Bevine as this book's narrator. Bevine is simply the perfect narrator for this material! The timbre of his voice, along with his cadence, diction and pronunciations are nearly flawless!
I now only wish Bevine had also narrated Pinker's other book on Audible - "The Stuff of Thoughts" :-(
My only tiny complaint with this book has always been that its title is completely inappropriate and misleading. This book is not defending the theory of the "blank slate" nor is it a "modern denial of human nature"; Its subject and goal are EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE!
To me, giving the book such a misleading title is at the least, a matter of very poor judgment and at its worst, is under-handed and a bit smarmy. Even so; forget this book's misleading title, and just dive into and thoroughly enjoy one of the most important scientific books of our time!
"Very little useful information in this audio book"
This book is predominantly filled with anecdotes from the author's own life that to me, seem to have very little to do with how one can find closure after a divorce.
The author spends a lot of time talking about such things as, his relationship with his parents, how he and his first wife met, and some of his experiences with dating, but in all these tales, there is almost no advice or information that resembles general advice on how to heal and move-on after a divorce.
Also, though this is a very short audio title, I found it difficult to listen to the book all the way through; especially when the author (who is also the narrator), decided to use different voices for the other characters in his story (imagine a male voice doing a whiny, high-pitched take on his ex-wife's way of speaking).
I can almost always learn something of value from listening to someone else's perspective on a topic (and I'm sure I encountered at least one or two new/helpful ideas in this book), but in this case, there was just too little return on my investment of listening-time, for me to recommend this title to anyone.

MOTOACTV Gets Torn Down and Rooted, Now The World's Smallest Wearable Tablet
So you had a great day yesterday and received the MOTOACTV watch for Christmas. Well it looks like your Christmas is going to get even better because Chris Wade, the gentleman behind the Dingleberry hack for the PlayBook, has one of his own and rooted the device. Before he rooted it though, he decided to take the MOTOACTV apart and see what was running under the hood. Here is what he found:
- CPU: omap3 (3630) – 600Mhz
– Ram: 256MB
– Nand: 8GB
– Wifi: 802.11n
– BlueTooth: Yes
– Fm Radio: Yes
– GPS: Yes
Wade put the device back together then set in on his real work. He managed to find a full boot.img file and was able to root the underlying Gingerbread OS. He took the GPS tracker and turned it into a 1.6-inch tablet by sideloading the stock Honeycomb launcher. Wade took it even further by giving the watch Android Market access allowing you to download and play games like Angry Birds.
Check out the photos and video below the break to see the watch broken down and the video of the mini, wearable "tablet" in action. If you have the device and are feeling brave enough to root it, hit the source to find instructions on doing so.

And who knows, maybe the device will see Android 4.0 soon enough.
Motorola Droid HD (RAZR/Spyder) Specs Come To Light, Faster Than The iPhone 4S?
Photo courtesy of the Verge
The Motorola Droid HD aka RAZR or Spyder continues to make headlines. This time our friends over at BGR are touting they've received official specs on the upcoming handset. The Verizon bound device will be unveiled Tuesday in New York and our own EIC, Robert Nazarian, will be there to cover it. If the specs pan out, the device is definitely something to be excited about.
- "Thin and Fast" – Per BGR source
- 1GB of RAM — double the iPhone 4 and 4S
- 1.2GHz dual-core processor
- 4G LTE (thinnest LTE phone to date)
- 4.3-inch display
In addition, further specs reveal a case molded from Kevlar, a Gorilla glass display and splash-resistance coating. The device is said to be faster, thinner, smarter and stronger than the iPhone 4S. Only time will tell so be sure to stay tuned on Tuesday as we bring you all of the goodies. Feel free to speculate about the device in the comments below.

Video of the Droid Bionic's new MotoBlur
Here's a taste of what MotoBlur will be like on the soon to be unleashed Droid Bionic. MotoBlur has, in the past, had a bad brutally terrible reputation for its looks and functionality. The Bionic's MotoBlur may be a chance to redeem itself, although its still not perfect yet – as you'll see from the video. If you can look past that for now, however, it seems Moto worked pretty hard this time to make it super smooth. Also, it lends a lot of its functionality to what you see in Honeycomb; 3D and sort of Tron-like elements. After watching the video, we would love to hear what you all think, especially if your feelings have changed toward MotoBlur. Remember, Verizon's Droid Bionic "destroys all machines" September 8th.
Video after the break.
Droid Bionic Video Preview Surfaces
An anonymous source comes to us today with a long-anticipated video showcasing the Droid Bionic's boot sequence and a few quick previews. Take a look at the fancy new animations that come with BLUR, as well as the neck-breaking 4g test. While impressive, and certainly pretty, it appears to come with that scrolling lag so common on stock Motorola devices. Perhaps it's the video quality, but this author is inclined to think that Moto still hasn't learned that we hate BLUR. Regardless, kudos to our tipster for the video! We're excited to finally see the phone in action.

Did Google purposefully skip out on Nortel patents due to Motorola buyout in the works?
It's huge news: Google and Motorola, joining forces to take over the mobile world. Okay, okay, it was also for the patents; there's no denying the fact that any mobile company needs to have a good patent shield, thanks to our lovely, broken patent system. Back a number of weeks ago, we saw a huge bidding war over Nortel, mainly for their patent portfolio.Google threw their hat in the ring briefly, only to be almost immediately outbid by Apple. No shock there; what was surprising, however, was the fact that Google seemed to be going after these patents with minimal vigor. Why? I think our answer came today.
Google was, most likely, already in talks with Motorola on the merger we saw come to fruition today. Why on earth would Google want to spend precious time and effort going after a company that every mobile player in the industry was after, when they could quietly knock on Motorola's back door and come in for tea? Everyone else was across the street, prying for the attention of the Nortel case; nobody even saw Google slip away.
With the patent wars heating up, this was, ultimately a smart move for Google. Not only does this gain them the patent portfolio of the company that gave Android one of the boosts it needed with their wildly popular Droid line, but it gives them exclusive access to a manufacturer, which has been the big thing missing from Google's repertoire. There's one thing this writer knows for sure: he's excited to see what comes of the merger. Motorola's days of locked bootloaders and anti-development (as of late) will more than likely be coming to an end, and there's some really cool stuff on the horizon. We'll just have to wait for sunrise to see what it is.
Big Hardware Compensating for a Terrible Name, Bell Motorola XT860 4G is a Go
In the final round of phones to be released this quarter, Bell is showcasing the Bell Motorola XT860 4G just in time to compete with the HTC Sensation, Samsung Galaxy S II 4G, Moto Atrix 4G, and several other self-proclaimed "superphones". The XT860 4G (can we just call it by DROID 3 or Milestone 3?) comes with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a hefty dual-core 1GHz CPU and a 4" qHD touchscreen at 960×540. Moto claims that this phone is the thinnest slider available, at just 12.9 mm thick, but its hefty 167 grams may turn some away. So may the convoluted name. Prices range from $99.95 on 3-year contract, or $549.95 off.

FCC's Release Of Motorola Droid Bionic User Manual Presents World Phone Speculation
You hardcore Android fanatics out there are in for some interesting specs and speculation today with the FCC's public release of the Motorola Droid Bionic user manual. As expected, its 4.3-inch qHD display has been confirmed, and the 1735mAH battery and microHDMI port are interesting to note. However, the thing that has most users scratching their heads is the listing included for its World Phone GSM capabilities.
If we are to lend our faith to the authenticity of the manual, it would mean we are previewing the first dual-core LTE/GSM device packed with that sweet qHD display. Rumblings around the forums are already crying foul and pointing out some other oddities, such as a battery removal image that appears to be strikingly similar to another Smartphone (the Droid X perhaps?) and the strange placement its the SIM card.
Whether or not these features end up panning out or not will remain to be seen, but we can dream can't we? Leave us a comment and tell us what you think! Has new ground been broken or is this just idle speculation?

Motorola "Kore" Could be Manufacturer's First Kal-El Quad-Core
Rumor has it that Motorola is working on an Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich-powered tablet with a 4:3 aspect ratio, similar to that of the iPad. Fusible was able to dig up some hidden info on this gem, and judging by Motorola's recent purchase of the MotorolaKore.com, KoreMotorola.com, Moto-kore.com, MotoKore.com and Motorola-Kore.com domains, we can guess that this device will be called the Motorala Kore. While it isn't yet clear, speculation is that this may be one of the first tablets to ship with NVIDIA's Kal-El Quad-Core processor, and that Moto will likely market around those "kores". XOOM's sales have been less than impressive, shipping just 250,000 unites in its first quarter, so we can understand why they might drop that moniker.

Caroline Spencer Forrester is a fictional character from the CBS Daytime soap opera, The Bold and the Beautiful, created by producer Bradley Bell. She is portrayed by actress Linsey Godfrey. She is the daughter of media mogul Karen Spencer (Joanna Johnson), niece of media mogul Bill Spencer, Jr. (Don Diamont) and namesake of her aunt, Caroline Spencer Forrester (Johnson).
On February 7, 2012 is was announced that Joanna Johnson would reprise the role of Karen Spencer and would be arriving alongside her never-before-heard-of-and-seen daughter Caroline, the namesake of deceased twin sister Caroline Spencer. It was announced that actress Linsey Godfrey was cast into the new role. Godfrey is known for her roles on several television series such as NCIS, One Tree Hill, and Wizards of Waverly Place.[1][2][3][4] The character, while unknown to viewers, would be acknowledged and known to those on-screen. In April 2012, it was announced that Crystal Chappell would enter the cast of the series as Caroline's second mother, in the series' first ever lesbian storyline.[5][6][7][8] Godfrey has a tattoo to symbolize her successful battle with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, which the producers wrote into the show.[9]
Character development[edit]
Caroline's initial storyline revolves around a storyline about her and her same-sex mothers, Karen (Joanna Johnson) and Danielle Spencer (Crystal Chappell), entitled "My Two Moms".[10] Caroline was noted by head writer Bradley Bell and writers Patrick Mulcahey and Tracey Ann Kelly to represent a younger generational view of her mothers' sexuality; Kelly stated: "She did not understand the need to feel secretive, whereas her mother, having dealt with this in a much different time, felt very different about it. So I felt it was wonderful to see the generational difference in the attitude".[11] Caroline's importance in the storyline was a key aspect, as her mothers had their "hands full" while coming together to help Caroline deal with her own problems.[11] The role of Caroline was involved in two romances, the first being with Thomas Forrester (Adam Gregory), before she moved on with his arch-rival Rick Forrester (Jacob Young).[12]
Rick falls out of love with Caroline and begins falling for an underprivileged aspiring actress, Maya Avant (Karla Mosley); he attempts to dump her but Caroline begins scheming to remove Maya from his life.[13] By this point, she was described by Jamey Giddens of the website Zap2it as "cunning" and scheming "blonde vixen",[14][15] enjoying her new "fantastically-bitchy" persona.[16] Joanna Johnson, upon her return to the series, characterized Caroline as having changed into "a total bad-ass crazy person" who needed "mothering".[17]
In March 2012, Karen Spencer (Joanna Johnson) returned to town with a surprise trip for her daughter, Caroline to Los Angeles for an interview at Forrester Creations.[18][19][20] Brooke Logan Forrester (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge Forrester (Ronn Moss) plan to use Caroline's arrival as a collaborater for Rick Forrester (Jacob Young) and his new line, while Brooke has ulterior motives to use her as a distraction for Rick from Amber Moore (Adrienne Frantz).[18][19][20][21] Upon arrival, both Brooke and Ridge offer a trial deal with Caroline, sparking concern with Karen over their intentions, especially those of Brooke.[19][21] Caroline accepts the job, as well as Rick.[18][19][21] At a welcoming party at the Forrester Estate, Caroline is introduced to everyone in the company. She is, however, given a very dishonest welcome and toast by Amber. She later admits that she felt like she had a special kinship with her aunt Caroline (Johnson), and announced her decision to bring The Caroline Spencer Cancer Foundation, a research fund she runs for her aunt, to Los Angeles.[22][23]
And the party, Ridge brings Caroline to the guest house where he stayed with Caroline, where he shared several memories about Caroline including the charm bracelet he gave to her.[22][24] She then revealed to Ridge the cancer ribbon she got in honor of Caroline, located on the back of her neck.[22][24] As Caroline begins to grow a deeper connection to Rick, Amber begins to manipulate her into believing he enjoys dressing in drag. She catches him in photos wearing dresses, lipstick and walking the Forrester runway in five-inch heels. This continues to drive her away from Rick, believing he is playing her and not being truthful about his true intentions. She then begins to develop a relationship with Thomas Forrester (Adam Gregory); as her relationship intensifies with him, she introduces him to Karen and her life partner, Danielle (Crystal Chappell). They also work together to free Marcus Barber Forrester (Texas Battle) from charges accusing him of running over his friend, Anthony, the night before his wedding to Dayzee Leigh (Kristolyn Lloyd).Thomas and Caroline begin to get serious, even though Rick is interested in Caroline and intends to steal her away from Thomas. Caroline's relationship with Thomas began to hit shaky ground when Thomas began supporting his ex, Hope Logan (Kim Matula), following her split from Caroline's cousin, Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton). Ridge names Thomas interim CEO of Forrester Creations, over Rick, Caroline begins to see a change in him. Thomas and Rick have an argument during which Rick falls out of a window and falsely claims Thomas pushed him. Caroline breaks up with Thomas and starts dating Rick. The relationship starts out well but begins to suffer when Rick meets a woman named Maya. Rick ends his relationship with Caroline after her bad treatment of Maya and the two start dating. Caroline than makes it her mission to get Rick back by helping him with the rebranding of "Hope for the Future" which in turn plays on Maya's insecurities. After a series of misunderstandings, encouraged by Caroline. Maya breaks up with Rick and he reunites with Caroline. The two soon become engaged and with Rick's insistence, they marry in front of their family and friends at the Forrester Mansion on Thanksgiving.

Moxie is a high energy girl looking for an active family who can give her lots of exercise and playtime. She has a powerful nose and will do anything for a treat or a hotdog - she will be fun to teach new things!
Moxie is 2 1/2 years old and is a full size Lab. Her energy level is a bit much for smaller children so we suggest kids over 8, and needs space so we don't think she can live in an apartment.
If your family is looking for an active dog to take on long walks or runs, play fetch with, and do all types of activities with, come meet her today!
We'd like to bring to your attention that there has recently been a documented case of a skunk with rabies in the Brockton area. It is imperative that you check that your pet's rabies vaccines are up-to-date. Please be aware of, and stay away from, any stray or sickly animals. If your pet gets bitten by an animal with rabies, your pet could be in danger of contracting rabies as well. Protect your pet and visit your vet!
Please contact your local animal control for any questions or concerns.

I'm kinda embarass, but ya know, it was my first time. And I like to tinker. And I'm kind of a perfectionist.
I shot like 20 rounds to warm it up, did it while zeroing my red dot. Adjusted shot 10, adjusted shot 10. Then did some drills and adjusted. Then did some more drills followed by more adjusting. Then I took everything out except the bottom 4, and started again. I don't remember off hand what my final config is because changed it quite a few times. >< I'm happy with it right now but what I didn't want to do was just shoot it and make adjustments. I ran it, running and gunning and then made some tweaks.
SOOOO its kind of hard for me to put a round count on it. I really suggest shoot it a bit to warm it up. Put 3 in the bottom row. Shoot ten rapid fire. Make an adjustment, Shoot ten make a 2nd adjustment. Then run drills. Make adjustments after using it abit. Its a beauty and a curse to keep changing the configuration. Hell I could run it again right now and change it.
What you will have to do is realize that you will have to make compromises. You can tune it for thumb over hold, standing free hand like I did. But if you put it on the bench different forces apply and it will push differently. If you shoot weak hand it'll behave differently. If you shoot holding the magwell it'll yes yes yes be different. Track multiple targets and swing the front, the way you tune will feel different. It all makes sense if you think about it. But took me a while to figure out that a comprimise had to be make. (which is why I started over). Its impossible to make a configuration that will be perfect for all shooting positions. But you can find a config that does everything ok (except shooting weak hand. Its crazy how much it pushes to the side)
I have a second one that I'm gonna put on a bench type precision build and I'm gonna tune it to sit flat off the bench for faster follow up shots.
Awesome, thanks a lot for the insight Tikki. I think I'm going to go with the Effin, I think I found a site that has the 556K in stock, but the ability to tune the brake for less money just seems right. Maybe in the future I'll pick up a Surefire, but it seems the Effin will do everything I'm looking for, and it's not bad looking either. One more question and then I'll shut up lol, where did you get yours? Straight from Ares or another site? I haven't seen them else where besides there.
Oh and are you planning on locktite'n the set screws? I know the video suggested using red locktite first and if that doesn't work, to use green locktite. I don't want to lose the screws but at the same time I don't want to ruin the brake either, guess I'll have to sacrifice one or the other....I doubt I'll be taking it off, unless it's for a 556K
No locktite needed, once its in there, its really hard to remove. I really don't think anything is necessary.
I got mine from Ares direct. They are a local shop to me. You missed the special they had for valentines i think, 2 effin As for $100. (don't worry I missed it too, I already had mine >.< )
That makes me glad to hear that you didn't use any locktite, it seemed a bit extreme but made sense at the same time.
Ah ok then, so I'm not missing something by ordering it direct then, cool beans. Damn, two of them for $100?! Wow, yeah too bad I missed that opportunity too, cause what a deal.
One of these days, I'm gonna get my hands on a few more muzzle breaks, and a couple thousand rounds and try them all.
I've been collecting them, buying them used, but with ammo prices as they are, this update ain't gonna happen any time soon.

First time using Air BnB and it was amazing! Very clean room and spacious. Diana was a wonderful host! Will definitely book again!
Staying with Diana in Calabasas was just great. I felt at home and welcome. Diana was such a wonderful host, always helpful with advises and fun to be with. The house is very cosy and the room I rented was nice, quite and with beautiful garden sight. The city of Calabasas has everything you need including easy access to The interstate to downtown L.A. and/or Malibu Canyon Road and Pacific Coast Highway 1.
If you want to stay close to L.A. but don't like living in the city this is the place you want to be. Personal atmosphere and being close to nature included.
If you have a chance get one of Dianas Shiatsu-treatments. Its fantastic!!!
Diana offers a great deal for a clean and tidy room/shared bath in a beautiful area of SoCal. My stay was enjoyable and the hostess pleasant - definite option to consider for single traveler to the area .
