What is macular degeneration?
POSTED: 3:43 PM Nov 19 2013
UPDATED: 11:45 AM Dec 05 2013
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), an eye disorder associated with aging, gradually causes loss of clear central vision. The retina is located on the inside surface of the back of your eye. The macula, in the center of the retina, is responsible for your reading and fine vision. In AMD, the macula begins to deteriorate, causing symptoms that can range from blurred central vision to a blind spot in the center of vision.
There are two types of AMD -- dry and wet.
- Dry age-related macular degeneration. By far the more common type, dry AMD occurs when the light-sensitive tissues in the macula thin and break down. This loss of tissue gradually causes blurry central vision. Dry AMD occurs in stages — early, intermediate and advanced.
- Wet age-related macular degeneration. In wet AMD, abnormal blood vessels under the retina begin to grow, leaking blood or fluid, causing damage to the macula. Wet AMD can cause rapid central vision loss. Wet AMD almost always begins as dry AMD.

(a) When Presented. A defendant who is served with a summons shall serve an answer thereto within 20 days after service of the summons, unless the court directs otherwise when service of process is made pursuant to Rule 4(d)(4); if a copy of the complaint is not served with the summons, and demand therefor is made pursuant to Rule 4(c)(2), within 20 days after the service of the complaint. A party who is served with a cross-claim shall serve an answer thereto within 20 days after service of the cross-claim. The plaintiff shall serve a reply to a counterclaim in the answer within 20 days after service of the answer or, if a reply is ordered by the court, within 20 days after service of the order, unless the order otherwise directs. The service of a motion permitted under this rule alters those periods of time as follows, unless a different time is fixed by order of the court: (i) if the court denies the motion or postpones its disposition until the trial on the merits, the responsive pleading must be served within 10 days after notice of the court's action; (ii) if the court grants a motion for a more definite statement, the responsive pleading must be served within 10 days after the service of the more definite statement.
(b) How Presented. Every defense, in law or fact, to a claim for relief in any pleading, whether a claim, counterclaim, cross-claim, or third-party claim, must be asserted in the responsive pleading thereto if one is required, but the following defenses at the option of the pleader may be made by motion: (i) lack of jurisdiction over the subject matter, (ii) lack of jurisdiction over the person, (iii) improper venue, (iv) insufficiency of process, (iv) (v) insufficiency of service of process, (v) (vi) failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, (vi) (vii) failure to join a party under Rule 19. A motion making any of these defenses must be made before pleading if a further pleading is permitted. No defense or objection is waived by being joined with one or more other defenses or objections in a responsive pleading or motion. If a pleading sets forth a claim for relief to which the adverse party is not required to serve a responsive pleading, the adverse party may assert at the trial any defense in law or fact to that claim for relief. If, on a motion asserting defense numbered (v), to dismiss for failure of the pleading to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, matters outside the pleading are presented to and not excluded by the court, the motion must be treated as one for summary judgment and disposed of as provided in Rule 56, and all parties must be given reasonable opportunity to present all material made pertinent to the motion by Rule 56.
(c) Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings. After the pleadings are closed but within such time as not to delay the trial, any party may move for judgment on the pleadings. If, on a motion for judgment on the pleadings, matters outside the pleadings are presented to and not excluded by the court, the motion shall be treated as one for summary judgment and disposed of as provided in Rule 56, and all parties shall be given reasonable opportunity to present all material made pertinent to such a motion by Rule 56.
(d) Preliminary Hearings. The defenses specifically enumerated (1)-(6) in subdivision (b) of this rule, whether made in a pleading or by motion, and the motion for judgment mentioned in subdivision (c) of this rule shall be heard and determined before trial on application of any party, unless the court orders that the hearing and determination thereof be deferred until the trial.
(e) Motion for More Definite Statement. If a pleading to which a responsive pleading is permitted is so vague or ambiguous that a party cannot reasonably be required to frame a responsive pleading, the party may move for a more definite statement before interposing a responsive pleading. The motion must point out the defects complained of and the details desired. If the motion is granted and the order of the court is not obeyed within 10 days after notice of the order or within such other time as the court may fix, the court may strike the pleading to which the motion was directed or make such order as it considers just.
(f) Motion to Strike. Upon motion made by a party before responding to a pleading or, if no responsive pleading is permitted by these rules, upon motion made by a party within 20 days after the service of the pleading upon the party or upon the court's own initiative at any time, the court may order stricken from any pleading any insufficient defense or any redundant, immaterial, impertinent, or scandalous matter.
(g) Consolidation of Defenses in Motion. A party who makes a motion under this rule may join with it any other motions herein provided for and then available to the party. If a party makes a motion under this rule but omits therefrom any defense or objection then available to the party which this rule permits to be raised by motion, the party may not thereafter make a motion based on the defense or objection so omitted, except a motion as provided in subdivision (h)(2) hereof on any of the grounds there stated.
(h) Waiver or Preservation of Certain Defenses.
(1) A defense of lack of jurisdiction over the person, insufficiency of process, or insufficiency of service of process is waived (A) if omitted from a motion in the circumstances described in subdivision (g), or (B) if it is neither made by motion under this rule nor included in a responsive pleading or an amendment thereof permitted by Rule 15(a) to be made as a matter of course.
(2) A defense of failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, a defense of failure to join a party indispensable under Rule 19, and an objection of failure to state a legal defense to a claim may be made in any pleading permitted or ordered under Rule 7(a), or by motion for judgment on the pleadings, or at the trial on the merits.
(3) Whenever it appears by suggestion of the parties or otherwise that the court lacks jurisdiction of the subject matter, the court shall dismiss the action.
(i) Offer of Fixed Damages. Service. In an action arising on contract, the defendant may serve upon the plaintiff with the answer an offer in writing that if the defense fails the damages will be assessed at a specific sum, and if the plaintiff signifies acceptance thereof in writing with or before service of the note of issue and certificate of readiness and on the trial has a verdict, the damages must be assessed accordingly.
(j) Effect if Offer of Fixed Damages Rejected. If the plaintiff does not accept an offer of fixed damages, the plaintiff must prove the plaintiff's damages as if it had not been made and is not permitted to introduce the offer in evidence. If the damages in the plaintiff's favor do not exceed the sum stated in the offer, the defendant may recover costs incurred in consequence of any necessary preparations or defense in respect to the question of damages.
Rule 12 was amended, effective 1971; January 27, 1977; March 1, 1990; ___________________.
This rule is derived from Fed.R.Civ.P. 12, with the addition of subdivisions (i) and (j) providing for an offer of fixed damages. Subdivision (a) has been changed slightly to conform to numbering differences between these rules and the federal rules and to delete references to statutes, agencies, and officers of the United States. In subdivision (b), improper venue is deleted from the enumerated defenses because matters of venue are controlled by N.D.C.C. Chapter 28-04. Subdivision (b) was amended, effective _____________________, to incorporate a time limitation for an objection to improper venue.
Subdivisions (i) and (j) are derived from Sections 28-0711 and 28-0712, N.D.R.C. 1943. Subdivision (h) was amended in 1971 to conform to changes in the federal rule.
Rule 12 was amended, effective March 1, 1990. The amendments are technical in nature and no substantive change is intended.
SOURCES: Joint Procedure Committee Minutes of _________________________; April 20, 1989, page 2; December 3, 1987, page 11; September 20-21, 1979, page 8; Fed.R.Civ.P. 12.
SUPERSEDED: Sections 28-0504, 28-0704, 28-0706, 28-0707, 28-0708, 28-0709, 28-0711, 28-1712, 28-1713, 28-0716, 28-0718, 28-0722, 28-0724, 28-0725, 28-0734, 28-0910, 28-1104, 28-1606, N.D.R.C. 1943.

I have problems with pasting content of Xorg.0.log file since it has more characters than it's allowed. Is there any other way to paste it or attache it here?
Thanks for reply. Here is the log file. btw, i installed fresh ubuntu 12.10 and this is log file after installing 13.1 driver.
I got black screen again...
I couldn't paste the code here since it has 33k characters. So here's the link of some free file hosting where I uploaded that file: http://www.freefilehosting.net/xorg0 Hope that this is ok.
Thanks a lot!
I have problems with pasting content of Xorg.0.log file since it has more characters than it's allowed. Is there any other way to paste it or attache it here?
What about http://pastebin.com/ ?
Thank you, I didn't know for this. I'm new in Linux so there is so many things I don't know.
I guess it will work like this
Thanks once again.
Here's the link: http://pastebin.com/xM68F1bR
It seems that for some reason X segfaults.
Maybe something like this?
Sounds a bit like one nvidia-current lightdm bug. You could try start lightdm from tty(if you can go there alt+cntrl+F1):
sudo service lightdm stop
sudo sleep 1 && sudo service lightdm start
Another blackscreen with binary plops is usually caused by kms, disable it in grub(hold shift on boot) by adding kernel boot parameter -nomodeset. Oh and check that you don't have PlugAndPlay OS on in bios, it could cause troubles(mostly on dual boots though).
tried both of your advises and it still not working. xrandr keeps telling "can't open display". When I type fglrxinfo I get error "Unable to open display (null)".
I can paste my xorg.conf file if you think that you can find something helpful inside.
Thanks a lot!
How are you trying to install it: From repo or from amd site? Have you read this:
Yeah, make sure that all dependencies mentioned in the above link are installed, and also "linux-headers-generic" package(except if you don't use the standard kernel, then you'll need corresponding headers, but chances are you use the standard one).
Also, you might want "radeon.modeset=0" to kernel parameters, I recalled I used this parameter on Chakra Linux(it was added by the Catalyst package they had).
May need "nouveau.modeset=0" too.
Also, I suggest trying to run this command : "sudo amdconfig --initial -f --adapter=all"
If it fails with "amdconfig" for some reason(can't find amdconfig) use aticonfig instead .. It might work since you have more that one graphics unit.
I don't know much more that I could .. Except plugging out one of that GPUs or disabling it in BIOS(if this is the problem).
Thank you both for reply.
@tuke I tried from repo, from amd site, from additional drivers screen and from synaptic manager. every time I get the same result....
went through cchtml guide and from precision while I was on 12.04 and through Quantal since I'm on 12.10.
@Rigaldo Tried everything you sad and still the same... about the other card, I saw in xorg.0.log file that driver is not installed for it and that it's ignored. btw, It was switched off in bios as well.
Thank you for trying...

Being born and having resided all my life in Quebec City, the most ancient fortified town in North America and which has celebrated in 2008 the four-hundredth anniversary of its foundation, I find that it is a great privilege for me to live and to work here, like I am at the heart of History. My passion for my roots led me quite naturally towards genealogy and obviously cemeteries. I became a "taphophile", that is a loving searcher and caretaker of old stones and funeral steles. Because of the devastation here of the hard climate and often also the negligence of those who should have mission to maintain well these places of memory, and thus worried of protecting the recollection of the humble as the illustrious, I decided to contribute to the network " Find has grave " by incorporating it the most biographic and iconographic information I can get about the men and women who are interred in my small corner of Earth.

Breslin, Peter
My g-g-grandfather is buried in St. Patrick Cem. in Quebec City. I don't have the plot number but I'd love to have a photo of his grave and to know if any family is buried next to him. I am unable to get there myself. I live in Rochester, NY. I put a request in 6 mo.ago but no one picked it up. I saw your name there and am hoping you might be able to get a photo. His name is Peter Breslin (d.May 6, 1870). Any possibility you could do this, please? ~Mary~

Battle at Abraham's Plains
I have been trying to find info on a French officer that died during the battle at Abraham's Plains. I do not know the surname but his wife hearing of his death went into labor and died having a son. The son was raised by a family by the name of DePeel/DePeal having been orphaned. He may have had a brother a couple of years older. The son later took their name. Do you know of any French officer's that had a spouse that died within days of that battle?

Photo requests
Bonjour Guy,
Just in case you haven't noticed, the Canadian (and other foreign) memorial pages now have the Request a Photo button. If you are interested in registering as a Photo Volunteer, you can do it by editing your profile. You can also browse Cemetery page for any outstanding requests. This is a new feature so will take some time to be fully operational � see
this thread
in the Help Forum.
Many thanks.

Saint Mary Roman Catholic Cathedral
Dear Guy: The listings under Saint Mary RC Cathedral are incorrectly listed as being in New Brunswick Canada. Saint Mary's RC Cathedral is actually in Kingston, Frontenac County, Ontario, Canada. The interments listed are actually in Saint Mary's RC Cemetery which is located out Division Street, also in Kingston. Could you please correct this. Much of my family is buried there and the 1st person buried there in 1836 was my 4th great grandfather. Thanks, Boyle Tree

Hi Guy:
I live in the U.S. and would like to get a photo of my g. grandfather's headstone. I know I will never get to Canada, and find-a-grave in the U.S. does not allow photo requests in Canada. He is buried in the St. Clements Cemetery Beauharnois (Catholic) Alphonse Leduc 1843-1919.
Would you have any suggestions on how I could possibly get a photo?
Thank you,

I haven't had an impression that Joannie is a consistent skater over years.
I haven't had an impression that Joannie is a consistent skater over years.
Quote from Julie Berlin about Alissa's skate today and her potential for improvement ... I dunno ... what do you guys think? Wishful thinking?If she does the two spins (better), shes a 65, Berlin said. And without the minus on the triple flip, shes a 66. So, if she can really bring that program to the height of its performance, it would be a 70-pointer.
Alright so with this whole inflated scoring thing, you can't compare scores of today with those of 3 and 4 years ago (in the case of mao and sasha). The scores have in general been getting higher each year under the new system. Take Alissa, in 2005 she delivered a short program at SC much like her one today, possibly even better, and received a 58. 54 - 6 points lower than her SP score today with no real rhyme or reason. There is, however, something to be said about maturity, though technically Mao's nocturne SP was superior to Joannie's, at 16 she was still a bit junior-ish in her presentation. Joannie has been skating much longer than Mao had at 16 (she's 7 years older...) and her skating has benefitted from this longevity.
Also, I think Joannie is competition for Yu Na, and definitely for Mao and Miki. The pressure doesn't seem to get to Miki much, and Mao normally puts up good long programs though she tends to make silly mistakes in the short, but pressure DOES seem to affect Yu Na. She's good enough to medal with mistakes, but at 2007 worlds Kimmie didn't do great after following Mao's amazing performance in her home country, Carolina absolutely bombed after Yu Na was amazing at worlds last year, and Alissa can't even seem to take the pressure of being at worlds considering she always performs way better at all her other competitions of the season. The Olympics will be intense, and we can't underestimate the girls who can deal with the pressure, Joannie, Rachael, Ashley.
Any predictions for tomorrow's FS results?
If Alissa wasn't such a nervous girl I'd say it's possible, however I think she's too cautious because of it to go out and attack the program like she'd need to to get that 70. She could maybe pull it off in a US competition where the judges are in her favor, but internationally, i'd say it's a stretch. Plus without a 3-3 there's no reason anyone should be scoring a 70 unless they are competing in their home country with judges who support them
Is Alissa consistent in practices?
Speed is necessary as well but Sasha doesn't fail in that area. Her Spirals cover the ice fine, IMO.
Caroline Zhang has amazing extension too but I wouldn't put her Spirals on the same level as Sasha's at all. I don't feel like you are giving Sasha enough credit. Nobody in the World can match her Spirals and that says something. It shouldn't be ignored just because other skaters have deeper edges (something which isn't necessary for a great Spiral). And, again, I'd love to see how superior other skaters' edging would be if they were attempting (or had the ability to attempt!!!) the positions that Sasha is capable of!
BTW, Sasha does have quite a smooth change-of-edge in her Spiral as well. Not as great as Michelle's but nobody can touch Michelle in terms of that.
BTW, it seems that Mirai was called for the edge on the Flip and got -2.20.
Is Joannie a total package in figure skating or something like that?
If she is, her scores is well deserved and she is entitled to several benefits.
Now that I have seen all the performances on Universal Sports, I have to say that I don't find any of the scoring out of line. Alissa was great, but Joannie was much better. Suzuki was a little bit labored, while Lepisto had excellent speed and basic skills dispite a messed-up combo. Caroline Zhang wasn't nearly as bad as I expected from the Internet comments. Mirai deserved her third place finish. I didn't see Lacoste or Phaneuf.
Agree. CoP is supposed to be objective, but it is not. Joanni 70 doesn't necessarily mean superiority to Mao's Nocturn. Certainly Joannie got extra points because this is Skate Canada. You can't compare scores event to event.
I don't think Joannie deals with pressure well. She just skates well in Canada just like Mao skates well in Japan. It is fortunate for her that Canada hosts Oly.
We will see what happens in Japan two weeks later.
Ok, a quick question. Was Joannie's performance as good as:
Yuna Kim's
Tango de roxanne [2007 world - 71.95]
Danse Macabre [2009 4cc-72.24] and
(And these were world record breaking performances)
Mao Asada's
Nocturne 2006 SA - 68.86?
I love Mao's clare de lune, but I couldn't find her high scored program on youtube. They deleted them all I think... :( But Mao certainly did not receive 70 with her claire de lune at any major competitions, except in team trophy, which she received 75 with 3A combo.
From what I saw, Joannie's PCS is higher than all of these, right? (31+) She also didn't do any 3-3, and I wouldn't say her step or spiral sequence or even spins are better than Yuna or Mao....?
Joannie's SP is up here.

The Braves and Giants kick off their series at AT&T Park.
Five games have already been played this postseason. We've seen a no-hitter. We've seen a couple of managers ejected. We've seen a 10-strikeout game. And we've seen the road team win four of those five games. And one of the four Division Series hasn't even started yet!
Finally, the Braves and Giants are ready to commence with their NLDS out in San Francisco. This series has its own intriguing storylines, from Bobby Cox's final run as Atlanta manager to the Giants trying to win their first World Series since Willie Mays roamed the Polo Grounds in 1954. It also features Tim Lincecum's postseason debut, which is reason alone to stay up late tonight.
Nationals fans may also be interested to learn of one player who was left off the Giants' postseason roster: Jose Guillen, who was picked up in midseason after getting dumped by the Royals and wound up playing a significant role down the stretch. Guillen, though, has a disc problem in his neck, and the club determined he couldn't play, so he's off the roster.
3B Omar Infante
RF Jason Heyward
1B Derrek Lee
C Brian McCann

Finally I get a chance to watch a game today. It has been mad crazy because of all assignment and stuff.two of my support teams (Rays and twins) are on the brink of elimination so I would just concentrate on Giants now. let's hope they don't disappoint me.
- BQ - Oct 8, 2010 at 3:10 AM
i didn't know Guillen wasn't playing. I was wondering when I saw the lineup that a familiar name is missing. Too bad for jose. The closest he will ever get to playoffs.Is TL on fire tonight? 9 SO through first 6 innings. Just love the fireballer. Wish we get SS back soon and make the similar run.
- BQ - Oct 8, 2010 at 3:22 AM
Oh My God! Unbelievable! Sandoval just plain sucks. The announcers and Bobby Cox read into the situation very well when Uribe was walked with Posey on third but one out in bottom of the sixth. I mean when Uribe was talked, the announcers started saying how that was a good thing. Bobby switched Lowe with Venters and Pablo obliged with a nice DP.
- Sec3My Croix de Candlestick - Oct 8, 2010 at 3:49 AM
Guillen is not such a surprise, his being hurt and all, but the fact that they left Zito off the roster is both surprising–he's the highest paid player they have–and no surprise at all if you've seen him pitch lately. Apparently he took it well–he's at the park, maybe charting pitches?
- JaneB - Oct 8, 2010 at 3:50 AM
I have pitching envy.
- dj in Fl. - Oct 8, 2010 at 3:54 AM
Starting pitching, starting pitching and more starting pitching is what you have to have at this level. So know I understand why the Nats went for Detwiller instead of Heyward. I was a little confused earlier.Excellent games all day.Once again the umps will take it on the chin.
- BQ - Oct 8, 2010 at 3:57 AM
Wait, what? Zito is not on Giants' roster. WOW, how did I miss that? i just looked up his numbers and they gone up as the regular season came to close. Still I am surprised given that he is veteran and all.Anyways, I would definitely leave TL to finish things off. He seems locked in right now. let's not disturb his rhythm.Oh, can someone tell me how Posey was supposed to be caught stealing before he scored the only run of the game? I missed the play.
- Michael J. Hayde - Oct 8, 2010 at 4:06 AM
What a great, dominant performance by the young Arlo Guthrie… er, Lincecum. I missed Halladay's outing; glad I stayed up for this one.
- Sec3HummBaby! - Oct 8, 2010 at 4:07 AM
You know, for a 1-0 playoff game, that didn't feel like the Braves were close. BQ, Posey stole second, but he should have been out–the ump was out of position and missed the call, pretty blatantly.
- BQ - Oct 8, 2010 at 4:12 AM
Yep, totally worth watching TL on the mound. That was just brilliant. What's the record for most strikeouts in a single postseason game? I am going to try and watch tomorrow night game as well. Cain and Hanson are also capable of dominating hitters the way TL did tonight. Oh and needless to say but Giants' bats need to come out of slumber for them to continue winning. They can't have TL pitching every night so better produce offensively when pitchers have an off day. Go Giants!!!

Another power pitcher dominating..hint hint Mike Rizzo!
- Cwj - Oct 8, 2010 at 2:26 PM
I don't understand how Lincecum manages to still be a strikeout pitcher despite only throwing 89-91 mph. Has he somehow reinvented himself since losing his velocity? Is it his delivery? What makes him so effective?
- Anonymous - Oct 8, 2010 at 2:40 PM
OT but here's the video (in Chinese) to CMWang's 1 inning work.http://tw.nextmedia.com/applenews/article/art_id/32870544/IssueID/20101008Scrub forward to 1:02 to see Flores throw to 2b to nail the base runner.enjoy!

In a perfect world, my 2012 Nats starting rotation would look something like this:Stephen StrasburgTimmy LincecumRoy HalladayCliff LeeLivo, just for the sake of nostalgia and traditionAlso in my perfect baseball world, Strasburg throws a perfect game, the Nats go 120-40, Teddy wins, Screech is replaced by a respectable mascot, MASN figures out how to be a decent media outlet, and the Phillies are moved to more deserving city–like Pittsburgh. Oh, and this blog becomes wildly successful, setting the new standard for online sports journalism and earning Mark enough money so that I don't have to work and can just travel with the Nats fulltime. Hey, a girl can dream.
- Mark Zuckerman - Oct 8, 2010 at 3:09 PM
Anon: Thanks for the link — that was awesome!
- Josh - Oct 8, 2010 at 3:24 PM
Re: how Lincecum is still a strikeout pitcher with a 90/91 mph fastball: first of all, he can (and did occasionally) dial it up to 93-94 mph. Secondly, his offspeed stuff (changeup and now slider) are so good that batters can't sit on the fastball as much as they can with many other pitchers, or they'll just look absolutely silly (like they did many times today). He also varies the eye levels of the batter with the change, after which he can pump a high fastball right by them. There's a reason they call him The Freak.
- natsfan1a - Oct 8, 2010 at 4:28 PM
Mrs. Z, I like it, and I hope that all your dreams come true. Could we just add "the Nats seal a deal with a radio station that has a decent signal throughout the DC metro region"? 'kay, thanks.

SANTA CLARA -- Inasmuch as the most consistent factor in the 49ers' back-to-back trips to the NFC Championship game is their defense, the man who laid the blueprint deserves a measure of appreciation for a job well done.
Even if that man now is the defensive coordinator in Atlanta and stands between San Francisco and its first Super Bowl appearance in 18 years.
Defensive tackle Justin Smith, the pillar of the defense, will extend a hand toward Mike Nolan, who as 49ers head coach was influential in Smith's decision to sign with the team upon becoming a free agent in 2008.
"I'll definitely go over and say 'Hi,' to him if I see him," Smith said, referring to the NFC Championship game against the Falcons on Sunday at the Georgia Dome.
Though only a handful of 49ers remain from Nolan's tenure, which lasted from 2005 until he was fired seven games into the 2008 season, it's a very distinguished handful.
Five of San Francisco's 2012 Pro Bowl selections came to the franchise while Nolan was the chief shot-caller. Two of the five, running back Frank Gore and left tackle Joe Staley, are on offense, while the other three -- free safety Dashon Goldson, linebacker Patrick Willis and Smith -- represent the spine of the defense and are the three most indispensable members of the unit.
The 49ers would not be the team they are -- and Jim Harbaugh would not be the coach he has been -- without taking advantage of Nolan's work as the original architect.
Along with former vice president of player personnel Scot McCloughan, Nolan sought to assemble a roster with high-character individuals who grasped the team concept. Quarterback Alex Smith, Nolan's hand-picked franchise quarterback, was the first man they drafted. Gore was their third pick in 2005. Tight ends Vernon Davis and Delanie Walker were added in the 2006 draft.
The '07 draft, however, is where the defense began to take shape. Willis was taken in the first-round (with Staley coming later in the same round), and defensive lineman Ray McDonald, cornerback Tarell Brown and Goldson came later in that same draft.
It was enough, almost, to offset the 2008 draft, which was a complete bust aside from linebacker and special teams ace Larry Grant, who was taken in the seventh round.
Such talented defensive personnel was another factor that convinced Justin Smith, who had spent seven seasons in Cincinnati, to cancel his other visits and join the 49ers.
"I liked the defensive talent they had at the time, and I just wanted to be a piece of that," said Smith, who signed a six-year contract worth as much as $45 million, with $20 million in guarantees. "I liked the stuff (Nolan) was doing, scheme-wise and how he was talking about using me. He was a defensive-minded coach. I thought it was a good fit."
Well, it was. It just took a few years -- and a couple coaching changes.
"I do know that most of the pieces that (Nolan) had are still here, which means that somebody knew what they were doing,'' said strong safety Donte Whitner, who didn't arrive in San Francisco until he became a free agent in 2011.
"But maybe he didn't know how to complete it."
That's the rub. Nolan surely had a sharp eye for talent but too often was blind to his role in developing a full roster and deaf to the tone of the locker room. His record in San Francisco (18-37) is partly the result of having to rebuild the roster but surely reflective of constant instability on offense.
Nolan was a career defensive coach hired to rebuild a roster, reshape the entire franchise. Handed broad powers by owner's representative John York, Nolan most notably mishandled Alex Smith and lacked the vision required to conceive and achieve big-picture aspirations.
Nolan was an outstanding position coach, a specialist, who upon achieving a greater goal was victimized by the Peter Principle. In taking over the full football operation of the 49ers, Nolan had reached his level of incompetence.
In the years since being dismissed in San Francisco, Nolan has returned to his specialty. He's devising defenses and identifying players who best fit his schemes, which are widely respected.
"It's a task and a challenge to understand what they are doing schematically,'' Harbaugh said.
"Their defense is pretty good down there, and he's a big part of that," Justin Smith said. "He's really smart, schematically. He knows matchups and puts his guys in the right position to make plays, which is one of the reasons that drew me to this team."
Nolan has good reason to be proud, and he said as much to reporters in Atlanta. He likely knows where he failed, but he can see where he succeeded.
All he has to do is look across the field on Sunday. He'll see familiar faces. He'll see the fruits of his labor. He'll see proof that his time in San Francisco was not a complete failure.

WOW - Brand New ForumsI am sure that you are all surprised at the new look forum. The good news is that I have not (on first appearance) lost any posts and everything looks good.
Please be patient with me and the moderators, there are a lot of cool new functions and it will be a learning curve. I would ask that if you have questions that relate to how to use the forum, the FAQ button (top right) will help you out. The forum has been updated with almost no warning as a result of serious server problems. The problem has still not been found (now over 4 weeks) and the only option I have for now is to take action and see if we get a brand spanking new version of the forum (perhaps with the old version there was a conflict between the software and the new server - who knows?) Instead of Private Messaging, I suggest for any issues with the new forum - please use the Forum Feedback section - perhaps a lot of other members have the same issues. Finally, I hope you enjoy it, I hope the server performance improves and thanks for all the support. p.s.

Re: WOW - Brand New ForumsI appreciate all the hard work gone into the upgrade etc. but I have to say I don't like the new format at all. Avatars on the right?? (might get used to it) but the posts are far to busy and the separation between posts and identifying who made the post is messy now, before it was very quick and easy to read. Maybe a change in colors would help this dunno, but just my view.
PS. Saying all that the layout seems to work much better when viewing the site on the iPhone EDIT: I think I know what it is, the posts need a thin border around them, it's to hard to determine difference between a post and line for people's signature, I think that is the biggest thing that makes it look like one big post and not clear replies etc. Been affected by cancer?

Oh no, the hard core retro members are going to complain - though I discovered that there is the option for each member (who is logged in) to change the look and feel. Inside User Control Panel (look below the yellow logo) there is a tab "board preferences", 4th option from the bottom is My Board Style. Now you can have any style you like, as long as it is "prosilver". I will see if I can work out how to make other styles available. --- Thanks for all the comments so far. Yes - the style is something I have to get used to as well - however there is certainly the opportunity to optimise it over time.

Re: WOW - Brand New Forumsalso - post counts have been re-counted, it too me a really long time ... well not really, though I am not certain what the criteria was. The new post count may not match the post count you may have previously had - pretty certain that the top posters are still up there somewhere.
AND - also in the User Control Panel there is a cool tab called "Friends and Foes" - this is exactly what I and the other mods have been looking for. Realistically, this is a big forum with different people who have different ideas and who wont always get along - you can add foes to a list which is effectively an 'ignore' function - While friends on the other hand (in which I assume should be a larger list) also have function possibly like highlighting or better access for communicating with them.

Fearless Cobb poised to finish sweep of Yanks
Nova plans to reverse Rays' dominance of Bronx Bombers at Trop
The Rays have dominated the Yankees at Tropicana Field of late, winning 16 of the teams' past 21 meetings there, including Saturday's 4-2 decision. On Sunday, Tampa Bay will have a chance to sweep the Yankees for the first time since April 6-8, 2012.
Alex Cobb will take the mound for the Rays, making his third start since spending time on the disabled list with a concussion he sustained from a line drive to the head on June 15. The right-hander has won both of his starts since returning, and he gave up just two runs over six innings his last time out, against the Orioles.
While there are always concerns as someone recovers from a head injury, the Rays think Cobb is doing just fine.
"Physically, he is [OK]," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "Mentally and emotionally, I think he is. I don't see any after-effects from what happened. He's throwing the ball really well. The ball has been alive."
The Yankees will start Ivan Nova, who is 3-0 with 2.60 ERA in four August starts. In his last outing, Nova allowed four runs in the second inning but cruised the rest of the way, completing 6 1/3 innings to earn the win.
I saw him bounce back in that game, which made me feel good about it," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "I didn't make too much of him giving up the four runs in that inning, because when it was all said and done, he ended up giving you seven and he bounced back, and that was the important thing."
After Saturday's loss, the Yankees trail the American League East-leading Rays and Red Sox by seven games, and they're 4 1/2 games behind the A's for the second AL Wild Card spot.
"I think that each game that ticks off the schedule, the importance of it becomes greater," Girardi said. "It's just different because now you're the one trying to play catch-up and you can't afford to have a bad day, so it's a much different feeling."
Yankees: Jeter expected back on Monday
• The Yankees plan to activate shortstop Derek Jeter and have him in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener with the Blue Jays in Toronto. Recovering from a Grade 1 strain of his right calf, Jeter played in his third, and likely final, Minor League rehab game for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday, going 1-for-3 with a single.
"That's the plan," Girardi said. "As long as everything goes OK [on Saturday, Sunday] is probably just a little workout."
In three games at Triple-A during his most recent rehab stint, Jeter went 3-for-9 with two runs scored, a double, one RBI and a walk. He's been limited to five Major League games this season due to injuries to his left ankle, right quadriceps and right calf.
• Brett Gardner had precautionary X-rays come back negative after he was hit by a pitch on his right hand during Friday's 7-2 loss. He pinch-hit in the ninth inning on Saturday and made the final out of the game.
Rays: Moore pitches in simulated game
• Left-hander Matt Moore threw a three-inning simulated game on Saturday afternoon at Tropicana Field, and he said the outing "went really well."
"I was happy with the way my arm felt," Moore said. "That was the biggest thing. I wanted to come out here and test it."
Moore threw about 15 pitches in each inning. The Rays will discuss Moore's future rehab schedule after seeing how his body and arm feel on Sunday. Maddon said Moore's return would most likely come after Sept. 1.
• Roberto Hernandez pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Friday, making his first relief appearance since 2006. Maddon said Hernandez was "wide open" to the idea of pitching out of the bullpen, and the right-hander could be used there more in the future.
Worth noting
• Ben Zobrist set a Rays franchise record on Saturday with his 76th consecutive game without an error at second base. He leads all Major League second basemen with a .995 fielding percentage.
• Nova has held his opponents homerless in his last 42 2/3 innings.

If your microwave model has a glass tray or turn table, then follow the instructions printed on the popcorn label and place the bag on the turn table. In some instances, if you have a metal turn table (instead of glass), you do need to set the popcorn bag on a popcorn/bacon plate. This plate will lift the popcorn bag off of the microwave's metal turntable, which can otherwise interfere with the metal contained in the popcorn bag.

Nothing will ever beat The Flying Burrito
The last 5 or so times I've had Chipotle, I've been pretty underwhelmed. Not as good as it was 5-6 years ago. This will be 3rd best burrito in Ames behind Fighting and Panchero's. I used to prefer Chipotle to Panchero's, but it seems like Chipotle has slipped.
In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection.
That building is full of the two things this town sorely needed more of, mattress stores and burrito places.

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that. ~ George Carlin There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year olds life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves Orcs. ~ John Rogers
I can't believe this topic hasn't been discussed on here before...
Chipotle is good, but is really overrated. Still, not a bad addition to Ames.

This is an old revision of WinchelseaArchaeologicalSociety from 2010-12-06 15:20:17.
Winchelsea Archaeological SocietyThe Blackfriars Barn pottery project
Volunteers from the Winchelsea Archaeological Society∞ (WAS) are currently engaged in an ambitious, long-term project to sort, record and interpret a huge quantity of broken pottery discovered in a chamber of a cellar under the ruins of a medieval building called Blackfriars Barn. This assemblage
something in the order of 130,000 sherds -- is probably the largest in the South East of England and one of the largest nationally.
The pottery dates mainly from the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and appears to have been deposited in the cellar during the first half of the 19th century, when the cellar of Blackfriars Barn was used as an unofficial town dump.
Winchelsea has been a small village since the mid-16th century, but started life in 1288 as one of Edward I's planned towns. It was also a key Channel port and a leading member of the Cinque Port Confederation. The decline of the town was the result of the silting of its port, as well as competition from London and a migration in English maritime activity to the west coast ports as the focus of fishing moved out into the Atlantic and trade realigned towards Spain and the Mediterranean. |
The primary aim of the Blackfriars Barn project is to draw insights into the social and economic status of early 19th century Winchelsea from an analysis of the different types of pottery that local households threw away. This may be the first time that a study of this sort has been attempted on a village of this period. The project will also provide a benchmark for other archaeological investigations.
The broken pottery, together with a smaller quantity of broken glass bottles, plus some clay pipes, bone and shell fragments, was poured into the cellar through the two windows which once allowed light into the front chamber down shafts descending from street level. Over time, the pottery sherds and glass shards formed a massive scree slope that stretched across the chamber to the base of the opposite wall and flowed into the middle chamber of the cellar. The deposit was dug out by archaeologists in 1976/77 and boxed up, but left in the cellar. Most of the glass subsequently disappeared.
WAS has taken on the task of sorting the pottery on behalf of the National Trust, which owns Blackfriars Barn. Volunteers have been trained on site by Luke Barber of the Sussex Archaeological Society.
The first stage of the project has been completed. Between May 2008 and March 2010, a small team of volunteers sorted the pottery into different wares. The 100 crates contain the following wares:
ware | quantity |
Low-fired earthenware | |
unglazed red earthenware | 4 crates |
glazed red, course earthenware | 20 crates |
glazed red, fine earthenware | 1 crate |
high-fired (Normandy/Midland butterpot) | 2 crates |
slipware, late (Midlands) | 4+ crates |
slipware, Staffordshire combed | 1 bag |
black-glazed redware, Rockingham | 1/2 crate |
brown-glazed redware, Rockingham | 1/2 crate |
yellow ware | 3+ crates |
tin-glazed (delftware) | several bags |
Stoneware | |
German, Raeren | 1 bag |
German, Cologne/Frechen | 1 bag |
German, Westerwald | one item |
German, seltzer | 1 bag |

English, Bristol-glazed | 2 crates |
English, Nottingham | 1 crate |
English, scratch blue | 1 bag |
English, blue | 1 bag |
English, Basaltes matt | 1 bag |

industrial slipware | 1 bag |
hand-painted | several bags |
Whiteware (bone china) | |
undecorated | 9 crates |
transfer-printed, Blue Willow | 2 crates |
transfer-printed, other blue | 5 crates |
transfer-printed, black or brown | 3 crates |
transfer-printed, red, green or purple | 1 crate |

marbled, stamped, stencilled | 1/2 crate |
industrial slipware | 1/2 crate |
coloured or moulded | 1 crate |
Porcelain | |
English | 2 crates |
Chinese | 1/2 crate |
The next stage started in May 2010. It involves the sub-division of wares into vessel types, their quantification and recording, as well as the compilation of an archive of representative sherds. WAS volunteers are recording the number of sherds, their weight and the Estimated Vessel Equivalent (EVE) of each vessel type. An EVE is the percentage of an original vessel represented by a sherd. It is calculated using a set of circles of different diameter set out in a diameter grid (see the diagram
WAS found these grids difficult to get hold of, so they had their own made and have some available for sale). The edge of a rim fragment is aligned with the edge of whichever circle has the closest curvature. As the circles are segmented, it is possible to estimate the percentage of the original vessel represented by the fragment. The sum of the percentages of the fragments of the same type of vessel gives an estimate of the number of whole vessels in the deposit.
Selected sherds will be photographed to show the range of patterns and maker's marks. All local earthenwares are being sorted into vessel types and an example of each will be drawn and retained for long-term curation. Additional sample collections will be assembled for museums and a handling collection of pottery sherds will be put together for local schools to use in the "Victorians" section of their curriculum.
The final stage of the project, which will depend on funding, will involve writing up and publishing the results of the project, as well as disseminating them through lectures.
An important legacy of the project will be a local body of expertise in 18th and 19th ceramics. It is hoped to exploit this knowledge by encouraging residents to collect small finds made in their gardens and allotments and bring them along to WAS for identification and dating, so that the picture of local pottery use can be extended.
The interest in pottery that has been created by the Blackfriars Barn project has also whetted appetites. Volunteers want to be able to identify medieval and 16-17th century pottery. Workshops are therefore being arranged by WAS for anyone interested in identifying and dating local pottery over a wide range of periods.
Blackfriars Barn
Blackfriars Barn is the name for some standing medieval ruins in Winchelsea. The name is a bit of a misnomer. Although the building was used as a barn during the 19th century, it was never owned by the Black Friars (Dominicans), although they had a site nearby. While the ruins of Blackfriars Barn consist of just three ruined stone walls, there is sufficient remaining to allow archaeologists to reconstruct the original building. It appears to have been a three-bay hall, set at right angles to the road, probably lit by a Gothic window in the front wall and with a door onto the street. The rear of the hall was partitioned off and divided into two floors. Two doors on the ground floor at the rear opened out into a rear courtyard, one giving access to a covered way, which probably led to a separate kitchen building. Unusually, the hall had a canopied fireplace against one wall, rather than a central hearth on the floor. This seems to have been intended to maximise floorspace. The first floor room at the back of the hall led to a garderobe projecting into the next-door plot and over a cesspit far larger than would be required by a domestic property. The desire to maximise the floorspace and the size of the cesspit suggests that this was a public, rather than a domestic, building. It may have been a guildhall. Underneath the ruins is the finest of Winchelsea's 56 known medieval cellars. There are three chambers. The front and rear chambers have quadrilateral ribbing: the middle chamber is barrel-vaulted. The front and rear chambers each have two windows. Unusually for the period, the windows were glazed. They opened into light wells ascending to street level. The sub-division of the cellars into separate chambers (illegal for merchants' wine cellars), the presence of windows and the fact that the front chamber has a fireplace recessed into a side wall indicate that this was not a wine cellar. The building was derelict by 1364 and is assumed to have been destroyed in a French attack of 1360, reinforcing the argument that it was a public building (as such buildings would have been targeted). It does not appear to have been rebuilt or re-occupied until its use as a barn. |

Around the early 19th century, if people who had an injury to the lower part of their face went to hospital and could not get their face fixed, the surgeons amputated that part of their face. People would call a person with a missing jaw a 'Guppy' due to a resemblance to a cartoon character with the same name.
John fell down the stairs and broke his jaw badly and now he's got a Guppy from the doctors down at the General.

the guppy buisness is a gold mine. and whats more, if your guppies produce any mutations or ugly fish, give them to your cat, or to your sushi loving neighbor.

A term often used to describe self-centered bastards. These people often have a pathetic taste in music and food, have non-existing socializing skills and lack immense discipline on every terrain. A key factor to identifying them is that they (a) only EVER talk about how good THEY are in everything only when it is NEVER true and also (b) never ask/care about other people's interests or feelings . These people only put themselves at the top of everything and dream of greatness they'll never archive.

You have to understand the meaning, because it has been around in my life for six wonderful months. The word, by definition means weed in Ireland, but it is oh so much more. It can mean something like, grass, or even toilet. But the most common and useful term is Allie. It is a magical word where only chosen one's can use. It has many different definitions, and "tag-along" letters like: shneebie, shneeblet, shneebomi, shneebalo, shneebaliyby, shneebilis, shneeb kong, etc. This word, this magical word will once be so much more than weed in Ireland to the world, it will be something that each and every human on Earth uses three or more times in a sentence, shneeb will be not just a word but a language. Shneeb will live on.

The Sport Ball (Japanese: レベルボール, Level Ball) is a type of Poké Ball exclusive to National Park's Bug Catching Contest. It is as effective as a standard Poké Ball. When entering the contest, the player is given a set of twenty Sport Balls. In HeartGold and SoulSilver the ball is redesigned to look like a regular Poké Ball with an additional "Eye" at the top.
- The Sport Ball is similar to the Safari Ball and the Park Ball as all are used exclusively in their respective parks to capture Pokémon.
- Unlike the Safari and Park Balls, Sport Balls can only catch and contain bug (and bug-dual type) Pokémon as there are only used (legitimately) in the Bug Catching Contest (in which bug Pokémon can only be caught).
- In the original Gold/Silver/Crystal games, the ball is called "Park Ball" and has a dark coloring at the upperhalf with a lighter coloring on the bottom. It's description reads: "The Bug-Catching Contest BALL." If hacked into the inventory in the original games and used, the text for using the ball will be displayed but the menu screen will remain in place as the ball flies towards the Pokémon. The ball will then "catch" the words and make them garbage tiles. If successful the screen will remain garbled until the player is returned to the overworld or taken to the nickname screen. If it fails the screen will garble even further and eventually return to normal in a second.
- Depending which game you have, (HG/SS) you can catch Pokémon that say "AREA UNKOWN".
- The Global Link artwork for the Sport Ball is incorrect, as the "eye" on top of the ball is replaced with an "S".
