There is a difference in an ERA over one year and over two years, in your plea to make Wakefield appear to be worth that 2012 contract you wanted offered to him.
Buch has done fine.
Lester had had an off year, but I expect that will change with Beckett's departure.
Doubrant was quite good until he started getting up in total innings, where he was in uncharted territory. He should have long since been shut down when a team that had a pitifully inconsistent offense in an offensive park and division and league couldn't deliver.
The other cast of characters is not an issue, as it is the typical bottom of the rotation come and go profiles that is a part of modern baseball.
Bean is correct on the issue being quality starts, in regards to a one season sample size, measured in the context of top, middle and bottom rotation roles.
When I made the point last winter that we needed a top of the rotation starter, the reasons I gave were:
1) Our big 3 would not all do well. You said, "if they don't do well, we have no shot, and we can't plan on one failing."
2) Moving Bard to starter was a mistake. You loved the idea and still think Bard pitched "decently".
3) We could not count on Bard & Doubront to start 25+ games or give us 140+ IP. Now, you seem to agree when you disagreed this past winter. No surprise there.
4) We could not count on Dice-K to take over when Bard and Doubront need to rested.
Yes, Buch has done fine recently, but he started off very poorly as the team fell behind. He was still over a 6.00 ERA on June 5th and a 5.00 ERA on July 23rd. By the time he finally got his act together, we were all but out of it and contemplating trading away our team.
He also still has his highest ERA since 2008, his highest WHIP since 2009, and a 48% quality start number you are now championing. It was 56% and 68% in 2009 and 2010.
The point I was making is that it was you who set the 5.00 ERA as the be-all end all stat for starting pitchers. Now, as always, you want to move the goalpost to quality starts, amazingly the stat I tried to use to justify Wake's continued service to this team after the 2008 season.... 60% QS in 2008 and 57% in 2009. Even his 47% QS rate in 2010 is as good as Buch's this year (48%). Besides, I wanted Wake offered a deal that would make him our 6th starter this year, so stop acting like I wanted him for more than that. Even last year, you neglect to remember, I wanted him benched or rested after he made 14 starts. I knew his limitations then, and I was actually happy with our choices of Doubront as our #5 (on my projections thread, I had him doing very well in 120-140 IP) and Cook, Padilla, Mortensen,and Morales as our possible 6-7 starters this year. Due to the collapse of Bard, and the failures and injuries to others, we ended up needing these guys way more than we should have. Full circle to my original point: we needed a top line starter last winter, so Lester, Buch and Beckett would have been pushed down to the 2-3-4 slots, and we could have afforded to have one get hurt or have an off season, and maybe even 2, and still have a chance as long as one of the two rebounded by playoff time.
5 of our top starters with a 5.00 ERA.
Only Lester with a better than 50% QS rate (52%) - your new stat of choice.
Beck & Buch at 48%
Doub & Cook at 46%
Morales & Bard at under 33%
This is and will continue to be our biggest weakness. trying to patch it up with $1M offers to journeymen starters who will sign elsewhere for $3-4M is not a viable plan.
We missed the playoffs last year and had...
Beckett & Lester at 67 & 61% QS rates and the rest under 43%. How could we not see what was needed?
In 2007, we had Beckett at 67%, Schill at 58%, Dice-K at 56%, and Wake at 48%. Even our 6th starter (Lester) was at 45%.
If we don't address this issue over the next year or two, we are going nowhere.
Losing Beckett is not going to improve Lester or the staff. They will have to do it on their own with the help of some major additions between now and 2014. Barnes may be one, but we need 2-3.

In the game, Robinson was badly beaten on the 80-yard touchdown pass that broke things open for the Denver Broncos, but no one (to my knowledge) said, "Obviously this hypocrite has incurred God's wrath. The Lord has decided to punish Atlanta." On the other hand, had Robinson (or some other publicly pious player) been the hero of the Super Bowl, all we'd have heard is evangelical talk of how the Lord had rewarded his Christianity by making the victory possible.
Don't expect the Robinson saga to change much -- on Sunday, commentators' "hearts went out to him and his family" -- but maybe at least a few people will learn one little lesson. It's the same one that came through, from the opposite direction, in St. Louis last week:
Spirituality is priceless. Talk is cheap.

Environmental Health - Toxic Substances
Phosphate in the Ashumet Valley sewage plume, located near Falmouth, Massachusetts, could increase the rate of eutrophication in Ashumet Pond. A series of column experiments has been initiated to identify the geochemical processes affecting transport of phosphate in this aquifer. The principal focus of these experiments is to determine the amount and rate of phosphate desorption from aquifer sediment after sewage disposal is stopped. The first set of column experiments simulated the oxic zone that surrounds the core of the plume. Results indicate that the sediment has a relatively high capacity to adsorb phosphate and that adsorption is kinetically controlled. The rate of desorption is slow. Approximately 160 pore volumes were eluted before the phosphate concentration decreased to levels considered not to cause eutrophication; half the phosphate was still adsorbed on the sediment. A one-dimensional solute transport code simulated the column data reasonably well; however, a kinetic term needs to be included in the model to improve accuracy.

We did not expect this subject to be so interesting, toppers tell Asha Sridhar
Of the 573 students who appeared for the Bio-chemistry paper in the State Board Class XII examination this year, the top three ranks in the State were bagged by an aspiring dentist and two aspiring engineers, all from the same school in Thiruvanmiyur.
Kalpalatha Mohan, principal, Sri Sankara Vidyashram Matriculation Higher Secondary School said since the course was introduced in the school nine years ago, this was not the first time it had produced toppers in Bio-chemistry.
The three toppers, G. Vaishali, Vishal Srinivas and R. Varsha, switched from CBSE to the State Board in class XI, primarily to score marks that would help them surpass the cut-offs.
However, the students said they did not expect Bio-chemistry to be as interesting as it was.
Vishal Srinivas, who scored 196/200 in Bio-chemistry chose the subject over maths in class XI because he had decided he wanted to do medicine.
"My father is a geriatrician, and I wanted to be a doctor too. I am also looking at dentistry as an option," he said. When compared to Biology, Bio-chemistry is less voluminous and extremely interesting, he observed. His first choice, to study design in National Institute of Design, will now have to take a back-seat.
"I will pursue it as a hobby," he said, standing outside the school office, a day after his results.
For G. Vaishali, who scored 197/200, it was about the love for the subject.
"I loved studying bio-chemistry for two years, and am very happy about the choice I made. Our teacher made the subject extremely interesting," she said, adding that she wants to take up biomedical engineering. R. Varsha (195/200) took up Bio-chemistry on her elder brother's advice.
"He took the same group at school, and suggested that I opt for it too. Biomedical and Biotechnology are my two options," she said.
"Besides, our teacher made the subject really interesting."
Students at the school can opt for bio-technology with physics, chemistry and maths or physics, chemistry and biology. Asha Subramanian, who teaches Bio-chemistry and Chemistry at the school, says there is scope for both groups.
While those opting for math and bio-technology can go in for B.Tech, those opting for bio-chemistry with Biology can look at medicine other than paramedical courses. However, student preference tilts towards the maths combination, she observed.
Jayaprakash Gandhi, career analyst and educationist said that students opting for subjects such as bio-chemistry and micro-biology can also take up research.
Students said getting State ranks in lesser opted for subjects may also act as a catalyst to make students less apprehensive and more interested in the subject.
"Our juniors are more in number," said Varsha. This year 50 students in the city attempted the Bio-chemistry paper.

Leaving football, when your career comes to an end, is like leaving school. You are taken out of the bosom of a family — your club, your team-mates, your fellow pros — and exposed, at last, to the big wide world.
Most find it a scary, intimidating, lonely place. For someone such as Paul Gascoigne, that effect would be magnified a thousand times.
Last night came the news that the former England hero was "willingly" admitted to an alcoholic treatment centre in the United States. This followed his appearance during a charity event in Northampton last week, when he appeared unwell and

Thomas J. Richards Outstanding Service Award
The Thomas J. Richards Outstanding Service Award was established by the Lodge Executive Committee in October of 2010. Tom passed away in the early morning hours of August 17th after having a seizure. The tragic incident occurred at Camp Blue Diamond where he was a teaching assistant for this year's Leadership Jumpstart class. At the time of his death, Tom was about to enter his sophomore year at Penn State University, studying political science and history. A Vigil Honor member in the lodge, he also served as the CP/UE Chairman (2006 & 2009), Vice-Chief of Administration (2007-2008), and served as the NE-5B Section Chief (2009-2010). Tom had received the Dave Fortunato outstanding service award in 2006 and the Founder's award in January 2010. Tom was an amazing friend, brother and scout. For those who knew him best in the Order of the Arrow, Tom will always be known as the one and only "Super Chief". Tom was only 19 at the time of his untimely death.
The Thomas J. Richards Award for Outstanding Service is used to recognize those youth Arrowmen who do exactly that: serve their lodge, Unami, One, to an outstanding degree. Unselfish service and an exemplary performance of one's role in the lodge are the main factors considered by the selection committee.

Queen Bunky Board is rated out of 5 by 59.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ashee from Sturdy I'm happy with the purchase. I had regular boxspring which made my bed too high. This gives my bed perfect height. reasonably priced.

Rated 1 out of 5 by jsloan from Extremely noisy! This product worked great for the first 6 months and now is so noisy it is keeping my husband and I up at night as well as my kids in another room. I can't even roll over with out it making a ton of noise. It is cheaply constructed out of some wood and cardboard instead of all wood. Waste of money. All of the noise went away once I took it off.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Cr8ivrter from Cheaply constructed and squeaky. As other reviewers noted, this product started causing a loud squeaky noise every time I got into bed. It didn't occur to me for a long time that the cause of the noise was the bunky board, but after removing it the noise is gone and I noticed that the product is cheaply made with cardboard and the cardboard has dips in it where it has bent. The mattress is more comfortable without it.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Matt from It was perfect... until the noises started. I bought the bunky boards in October 2014. I got the Tate bed, which is a slatted platform bed, and my memory foam mattress wasn't thick enough to prevent me from feeling the slats. I thought the bunky board would provide enough of a platform to fix that. And it did! The bed looked better, it was a little easier to get out of because of the extra height, and I couldn't feel the slats.But then in January, I started hearing the squeaking & creaking. I'd read the reviews and thought surely they must've fixed the problem by now, but no. Here's the thing though: I didn't contact C&B about it until March. I didn't think they'd do anything about it, since I've had them for 5 months now. I thought at best, they might replace them, and I'd have a few more months before the new ones started creaking again. But I fired up a live chat, and after explaining the problem, Crate & Barrel immediately offered to let me return them for a refund. I've bought a lot of furniture from them, and I appreciate that they're willing to make good on a defective product. Zero stars for the bunky boards, 5 stars for customer service.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Queue from Great support! I bought the bunky board as extra support and to distribute the weight of the Temperpedic mattress I use on my Tate bed. I am so glad I listened to the advice of my salesperson; I can't imagine relying on slats alone!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Holly from would not recommend I bought this board two years ago when we purchased a new mattress and didn't want the height of a regular boxspring. After a few months, my husband couldn't figure out why he never seemed to get a good night's sleep - although we had loved the mattress when we tried it in the store! We tried multiple strategies, and finally the other week we removed the bunky board only to find that it was warped to the curve of our bodies. We left off the board, and since then we've had great sleep. The bunky board is great in concept, but didn't quite live up to our expectations.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Noochie34 from Great product Bought this a month ago due to back problems. Not only have they gone away but I'm sleeping better as well. Great buy!
Date published: 2014-11-13
Rated 5 out of 5 by LizE from Success! I bought this as a solution to a broken box spring - it makes the bed look that much more gorgeous being a bit lower to the ground. Would consider adding this to more beds in our house!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bea79 from Love this bunky board I recently purchased a new bedroom set that has a framed bed. When we put our existing mattress on the frame it felt like something was missing! I began searching for a solution known as the bunky board ( never even knew this existed) crate and barrel had the best price and delivery was scheduled two days later. The delivery team that came were really nice and even put the mattress back on the bed! The bunky board made the bed feel more sturdy! Overall I would recommend this product.

Rated 1 out of 5 by qwertydub from Terrible. To C&B's credit, they replaced my first Bunky Board when I contacted them about how bad the noise was. I'm on my second one now, and just like the first after about a year it is really extremely creaky. We've had to remove it from the bed and now are wondering what the heck to do with it. What a waste of resources!
Date published: 2014-06-15
Rated 5 out of 5 by Carmen8 from Six Month Review We have owned the product six months and, so far, no creaking or squeeking. It does raise the mattress about five inches and it is much easier to tuck in blankets and quilts at the end of the bed for that nice, modern platform bed look.Good purchase so far.
Date published: 2014-04-08
Rated 4 out of 5 by CarynG from Great Addition!! Here is the deal, I was shopping for a bed (got the Dawson) and my sales person (of whom was awesome) was telling me about the benefits of the bunky board. He actually has the same bed (if he doesn't, I really don't care)but he had told me about his experice and the bunky board makes it easier to tuck in sheets/blankes/comforters or what have you. It also gives added height to the mattress. ALL OF THIS IS TRUE!! I don't notice any squeaking or any flaws. I am very happy with my purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Charleywood from Great Product This was and is a great idea, I believe it helps ove the long haul, I research alot of others, but this one is (Class), first it's construction is great and than it's cover well, without it you can't tell, but with it - it's a whole new world NICE.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Stevethedude from Returning these I love C&B quality, generally. But these are just a terrible value. They look bad under the mattress and add almost no height. Really just pointless. Spend the money on a topper or something else.
Date published: 2013-12-15
Rated 1 out of 5 by protective1 from Save your money! Do NOT buy this garbage. The C&B sales lady suggested we avoid this product and use plywood to support our mattress instead, but we didn't listen and bought the bunky board anyway. The bunky board is an overlapping grid of 1x3 wood studs covered with a thin sheet of cardboard and a piece of fabric. Any amount of movement on the bed causes the overlapping wood to rub and squeak loudly. Having this bunky board made it difficult for my wife and I (100 lbs and 150 lbs, respectively) to sleep because, after about a month of use, any movement resulted in the bunky board creaking which woke us both up.This bunky board was not only useless, but also ugly, as the white color stuck out against our black bed.After 1.5 years, we finally got around to trashing the bunky board and replacing it with 2 pieces of 3/4-inch plywood, as the sales lady originally suggested. The plywood is easy to get and cheaper - the lumber yard is happy to even cut the plywood to size for you. My wife sewed simple covers for the plywood by folding black twin sheets in half. The replacement plywood is completely quiet and looks much better than the bunky board. Save your money, save your sleep, and save the hassle of having to eventually dispose of this useless bunky board - avoid it at all costs!I read all the negative reviews about this item and thought my experience would be different, but it was not. This item is a complete waste of time and money.

Right, im not into trance music but this is really good. My first impresions were "this is just going to suck bad" but it started to play and I thought "this is AMAZING!".
I was so Amazed, keep up the great work.

2nd review
Fools don't even know you're signed and have worked or talked with the likes of great names among the Trance industry. They say this is not the best they've heard, but it sure as hell is the best among the rest on here. It's all a matter of opinion I guess, but to say this is not ranked among the best here at NG, people are fooling themselves.
Now, I can agree that this might be a little too long, I'm only saying that because nearly half the song was the part of your original post. While it is beautiful and awesome, I just wish their was a little more diversity from your first submission. And while the new section does have some fantastic stuff, it still left me wanting more of something new.
It doesn't really matter, one of the best trance tracks on NG.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Nicely done.
The drums at the beginning and such make it sound like a real dance song, and alone with its quaint little lines I think its at least one of the better pieces to come out of newgrounds. Good work.

2011 Toyota Sienna XLE 8-Passenger 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
I purchased the van new and it now has about 106,300 km. This van is now about 4.5 years old and in the last 7 month, I've had the following problems; (1) air conditioner compress had to be replaced, (2) starter motor failed, (3) Driver power seat failed.
Other than these problems, I really enjoyed driving this van.

2011 Toyota Sienna XLE 8-Passenger 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
Bought Sienna new in 2010, now have 48K on it.
Mileage is great - 20 mixed and 25+ hwy.
Engine has lots of zip to pass.
Interior plastics and trims feel a little cheap.
Leather only OK.
Price to buy was descent compared to crossovers.
Towing capacity is a lie - there is a 45 MPH speed limit, special hitch, and electric brakes required.
Had a problem that was quasi-warranty and Toyota dealer and corporate was absolutely positively without a doubt useless.
Even though we like the van in general have put Toyota on our do not buy list.

2011 Toyota Sienna SE 8-Passenger 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
I have asked to replace seat with a better one but toyota didn't t have that option.I offered to buy the seat at my expense. Windshield is cheap .middle row is a bad design I am 6ft1" and have trouble lifting the seat out.then the rails are exposed .I would go back to north americian van for comfort. Tires are cheap . Van looks good performance is good . Cargo space and fuel economy are both good. Cabin filter ? Who needs that expense? Chevy bring back a 8 seater with your comfort.

2011 Toyota Sienna XLE 8-Passenger 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
Driving XLE for almost 2 years. Put on around 31K miles. Still on first set of tires, but looks like will need new ones within 10K.
Bought brand new in January 2011 in Newnan, GA. Pros: 3.5L engine, V6. Definately a way to go for these cars. Cons-a little slow response to the acceleration. A little bit cheap plastic interior, though easy to clean and no reflection from direct sun. Free 2-year dealer service is good, but nothing tremendous. Usually includes 2 oil changes, 3-5 tire rotations and cabin filter replacement.
Has a lot of trouble with sunroof. Rubber pieces are coming off the rails constantly, though dealership replaces them under warranty. Gas economy averages 20mpg. HWY 25mpg.

Not only is my car an amazing fit for my family and I, but it's performance is great as well. Also, when driving long distances with children it's great to be comfortable which we definitely are. I I am most grateful to the sale person at Toyota Grossing, Sargon C, without whom I wouldn't have been able to pick the best fit for us. He made my experience wonderful and easy. There were no complications and it was the best customer service I have received.

2011 Toyota Sienna LE 8-Passenger 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
Make sure to put money aside if you buy a Sienna!
At 13,000 miles I was told I needed new tires on the front. By 15,000 I definitely needed new tires!
Toyota shuffled me back and forth to corporate, Firestone, and back to the dealer.
At no point did Toyota ever take responsibility for anything!
Firestone was great, but Toyota was definitely lacking (and I had followed their maintenance regime to the letter!).
So, get a good deal if you plan to buy a Sienna because you will probably be getting a new set of tires within the first year!
They also "corrected" the alignment--even though it is impossible to adjust the rear alignment without shims!
Seriously Toyota?

2011 Toyota Sienna XLE 8-Passenger 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
The installed Toyota GPS, while fun to use with it's large touch screen is DVD based, and the disk provided with my NEW Sienna was two years out of date... does not even have my street included (5 years old).
AND... Toyota wants a ridiculous $250 for an updated disk!
You can purchase a much better GPS, more features, and lifetime map updates for a little more than half that.
Just stick it to the face of the Toyota display...
Come on Toyota - get reasonable.
A NEW car should at least have a current verions disk... and be provided with updates during warranty.

2011 Toyota Sienna SE 8-Passenger 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
I love my Sienna SE. It looks good, fun to drive, fast, comfortable. I've owned a lot of cars in my 69 years and this is one of the best.
I see a lot of people don't like the interior dash material. I like it very much. I think it has a rich feel to it. Not a fan of the design of the dash. It looks to feminan for me.
I went from a full size Chevy conversion van to this and I seem to have just as much room. Since the seats fold, I think I can get more stuff in this than my Chevy. Won't go into details but had problems with the Chevy was reason for changing.
Never been a fan of the Toyota logo so I changed all the emblems to Lexus. Some may not approve of this but I get a lot of looks.

I am not mechanical at all .So this review is driver experience only .After driving 37,000kms and a year in ,the 2011 Sienna
is uncomfortable in the drivers seat .Cheap seats.
The design of the tracks that the middle row runs on, is horrible and the seats are so heavy to remove .I am
6ft and 190 lbs 40 yrs old and find it hard to remove the middle row .When you remove the middle row and fold the rear seats
becareful not to damage the rails when you put your
cargo in . The exterior paint is soft and the windshield
is rough when the wipers pass over it on a showery day .Looks good on the outside .Lots of cargo area . The eight passenger will not be happy.Drives nicely and pick up is good

2011 Toyota Sienna LE 8-Passenger 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
It rained last night. The roof was wet. I needed to roll down the drivers side window to see. The water from the roof poured directly into the car. The controls for the power windows got very wet. To make it worse each window control sits on top of a small well that holds the water and assures that it drains into the window control mechanism.
The interior side of the front doors seem flimsy. I am tall and my left knee pushes against the protrusion that holds the window controls. I see it flexing each time my left leg moves. I am concerned that the flimsy plastic that makes up the interior door will eventually crack after repeated exposures to my left leg pushing against it.

- Description
Original Item: The Gurkha Kukri is possibly the most recognizable and famous fighting knife ever developed. Indigenous to the mountain Kingdom of Nepal, home of the Gurkhas who were "absorbed" into the British sphere of influence with the Treaty of Seguli in 1816. These ferocious fighters were infamous for their valor and for using the kukri an amazing "Tool of Death". It is a forward leaning leaf shaped blade, which provided the user with leveraged striking power. The kukri was became an everyday tool as much as it was a deadly weapon. Introduced long before the British arrived in the early 19th century, the Kukri became standard equipment for Gurkha Regiments serving in the British Army. Ironically the earliest Kukris are the largest, which seems improbable as improvements in nutrition and health care has resulted in mankind in general being much larger today than in 1800, yet with Kukris it is the exact reverse.
All of IMA's Kukris originate from our 2003 purchase of the Royal Nepalese Arsenal, which was located at the palace of Lagan Silekhana in Katmandu, Nepal. The purchase included a considerable number of military issue Kukris.
This Victorian Era Long Leaf Kukri is The largest and oldest, each with Nepalese Negari script indicating various 19th century manufacture dates and were in use up until the late 1890s.
• Arrive dirty packed in old original grease they are totally un-cleaned as found in Nepal after 100+ years in storage.
• Vary in size, most approximately 19" long, 2-1/2" wide, 3/8" thick.
• Vary in condition.
• Vary in appearance
• Wood Grips have minor cracks and/or small missing bits of wood.
• Are the real deal and are 100% genuine antique military issue knives, these are not tourist made reproductions.
History of the Kukri-
The kukri (alternatively spelled khukri or khukuri) is a Nepalese knife with an inwardly curved edge, used as both a tool and as a weapon.
The kukri was, and in many cases still is, the basic and traditional utility knife of the Nepalese people. It is a symbolic weapon of the Nepalese Army, and of all Gurkha regiments throughout the world. It is a part of the regimental weaponry and heraldry of the Royal Gurkha Rifles, and is used in many traditional rituals among different ethnic groups of Nepal, including one where the groom wears one during the wedding ceremony. It is known to many people as simply the "Gurkha blade" or "Gurkha knife".
The pronunciation "kukri" is of Western origin, as the Nepalese people to whom this weapon belongs pronounce it with three syllables - "khukuri."
The oldest known kukris are in the National Museum in Kathmandu, Nepal that belonged to Drabya Shah, circa 1559. The kukri came to be known to the Western world when the East India Company came into conflict with the growing Gurkha Empire, culminating in the Gurkha War of 1814–1816. It gained literary attention in the 1897 novel Dracula by Irish author Bram Stoker. Despite the popular image of Dracula having a stake driven through his heart at the conclusion of a climactic battle between Dracula's bodyguards and the heroes, Mina's narrative describes his throat being sliced through by Jonathan Harker's kukri and his heart pierced by Quincey Morris' Bowie knife.
All Gurkha troops are issued with a kukri; in modern times members of the Brigade of Gurkhas receive training in its use. The kukri gained fame in the Gurkha War for its effectiveness. Its continued use through both World War I and World War II enhanced its reputation among both Allied troops and enemy forces. Its acclaim was demonstrated in North Africa by one unit's situation report. It reads: "Enemy losses: ten killed, ours nil. Ammunition expenditure nil." Elsewhere during the Second World War, the kukri was purchased and used by other British, Commonwealth and US troops training in India, including the Chindits and Merrill's Marauders. The notion of the Gurkha with his kukri carried on through to the Falklands War.
On September 2, 2010, Bishnu Shrestha, a retired Indian Army Gorkha soldier, alone and armed only with a kukri, defeated 40 bandits who attacked a passenger train he was on in India. He killed three of the bandits, wounded eight more and forced the rest of the band to flee.

Price Value Quality I recieved my Long Leaf Kukri about two weeks ago, what a great piece of history! I ordered the $10.00 select and what I got was everything I expected - Tight handle, no cracks and no rust, a beautifully shaped blade! I will be ordering another one soon!
Thank you IMA!

- A must have! Review by Alex
Quality Price Value As usual I was very pleased with the service IMA offered. Took only 2 days to arrive and was very pleased with the product. I selected the "Hand selected" option and it was well worth the extra cost. The knife looks incredible after just wiping off a small amount of grease on the blade and a quick cleaning of the handle with some Gojo and boiled linseed oil brought out a beautiful wood finish. No rust, pitting, or hardened crud anywhere on the blade and it is still very sharp and surprisingly light for such a big blade. Overall a very solid and impressive looking knife for the money. Will definitely go well on display with my collection of "untouched" rifles I have ordered through IMA.

- awesome Review by sky Dos
Quality Price Value Got this for X-mas from my son. Once you get rid of all the storage grease you end up with a knife in excellent condition for it's age. I didn't think it would be as heavy as it is. Will take it to my favorite knife place to get a proper edge on it. More than satisfied with my gift and already socking away money for the next purchase, the V-42 1st SSF fighting knife.....Thanks IMA...

- Interesting knife Review by david
Price Value Quality I ordered the long leaf kukri, and it arrived after a week. It is a very impressive blade. After some cleaning, it is something I want to display with my Martini Henry rifles. It takes a very good edge. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

Price Value Quality This is history and a national treasure of Nepal. My IMA Khukuri all are in pretty good shape considering their age. ALL partial/hidden tang handles are tight. Great once in a life time deal (IMO).

Flycam Armbrace works with Glidecam
April 27, 2012
For those who wanted a better look at the Flycam Armbrace, here's a quick little show and tell. The Flycam Armbrace
is used to help carry some of the weight of a stabilizer off the wrist. Glidecam also sells a Forearm Brace (seen here), but it's bit more expensive and looks like it will only fit on the Glidecam due to the larger OD on the post.
One common question is 'Does the Flycam Armbrace work with the Glidecam?'. The answer is 'YES' the Flycam Armbrace does work with BOTH the Flycam and Glidecam HD1000, HD2000, and HD4000 stabilizers. It uses a smaller OD on top and steps to a larger OD for the bottom of the post (as seen in the video). Coincidence? You be the judge. Using an arm brace will help relieve some weight from the wrist, but keep in mind that it will not solve the weight carried from the Bicep and the stabilizer will still be just as heavy. The Flycam Forearm Arm brace can be found via eBay (click here).

I got one of those e-bay knock-off braces for $50, and it's great. It came in three parts with no instructions. I'd never used one and was puzzled. Fortunately, it was an exact duplicate of the name brand braces, so I was able to look at their images and figure it out.

Great post Emm!
Does this mean that you can use the Steadicam Armvest with the Flycam nano? Would you still have to mod the arm tip with the DIY screws/pole thingy? Or would the stock pole fit on the flycam? -
April 27th, 2012 at 5:08 pm
I have one, set it up properly, and have always tossed it aside in practice. Just my experience.
April 28th, 2012 at 10:42 am
are the holes on the side of the lower part of the metal piece wide enough for a 1/4 inch screw to fit through? i'd like to mount a piece of equipment there. sorry for my bad english.
April 30th, 2012 at 12:07 am
Will it work for CMR Blackbird Stabilizer?
April 30th, 2012 at 4:25 am
I have one. The damn screw came loose and I lost it. Works alright though. Haven't used it in a while.

Hey Emm, I was gonna put in an order for this brace cuz I have the Glidecam HD2000 but I was lookin at the pictures on the link, and the OD doesn't look like the one in your video. It doesn't have the 2 different widths like yours, just 1. Do you think they changed it now and ONLY fits the flycam Nano?
May 1st, 2012 at 2:52 pm
i got mine a LONG time back and I think mine is actually a GLIDECAM arm brace…it does not have the thinner segment at the top…I got that and the body pod and soon learned how useless the pod is…so it became repurposed for some DIY endeavours…the arm brace is good…I have used it when flying the glidecam 2000Pro or the Flycam 5000 with a naked camera…it also fits the new C5 but I recommend to fly them with 'nekkit' camera only because the weight of the stabiliser and camera is enough and you WILL feel it after a good long fly…try adding all the accoutrements and you got a workout!! I use my modified DV Sportster [modded proaim comfort arm and vest] when i am fully kitted or using my HDV cameras [less and less lately] but the arm brace is useful for extended short runs…for long walk n talks on a gliding flight, arm and vest is best…
I hope this has helped

Will This work on the "wondlan magic carbon fiber stabilizer" ?
Thanks -
September 3rd, 2012 at 11:21 am
Hi Emm,
Is the Flycam forearm brace longer than Glidecam Forearm Brace?
Could you give me an estimation of their weights? or which one is heavier?
And what about the padding and velcro? how does it compare?
I also noticed that some sellers of the Flycam forearm brace show the picture of what it seems to be the Glidecam's one… somewhat confusing
Thank you!
September 3rd, 2012 at 11:25 am
PS: I have the Glidecam HD 4000

A poem is just a rhyming verse That sometimes carries a hidden curse Cos of night while you try to sleep Into your mind, rhymes and words do creep Lying in bed so quietly Words fall into place silently Like clothes in a dryer spinning around and around The minds' abuzz but there is no sound Poetry is an expression Great therapy for depression As thoughts transfer from mind to paper Then disappear from your thoughts like an invisible vapour I like to write my feelings down As all my thoughts could make me drown I believe the words that I share Relieve my soul and allow me air. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ©copyright Juanita Torr ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Framfield is a village and civil parish in the Wealden District of East Sussex, England. The village is located two miles (3 km) east of Uckfield; the settlements of Blackboys, Palehouse and Halland form part of the parish area of 6,700 acres (2,706 ha).
It is likely that Framfield came into existence in the 9th century. Saxon invaders established many settlements along the Weald: the final -field in its name means a clearing in the forest to build such a place. The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book (Framelle); part of the church has Norman stonework.
John Levett died holding the manor of Framfield in 1552.[2] He was succeeded by his son Laurence. By 1590 the manor of Framfield, which had been in the Levett family for centuries, came to Bromley and Branthwaite by letters patent in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Within several years it was in the hands of Thomas Sackville, Lord Buckhurst and through marriage ultimately came to John Tufton, 2nd Earl of Thanet. Richard Sackville, 5th Earl of Dorset subsequently purchased the manor of Framfield from the Earls Thanet.[3]
Framfield parish lies on the southern part of the Weald. An ancient trackway, probably used by the Saxons during their invasions, passes to the north of the village. Like many other such places, it was involved in the Wealden iron industry: there are many small streams (including Framfield Stream) which are tributaries of the River Ouse (Sussex) on which the mills stood.
The Framfield Show[edit]
Each year in the village, a fête is held involving shows such as dog, vegetable and photography competitions. It is a big event for Framfield. 2009 saw the addition of Terrier racing, which proved a success. Previous years have included other events and attractions, such as a 'Mouse Town'. The Framfield Show is usually held on the second Saturday of August. While overseen by the Framfield and Blackboys Horticultural Society, the Summer Show organisation has now passed to the local Show Committee.
Blackboys is a local village within the same parish as Framfield. The name is related to the soot deposited in the area by local charcoal burning.
The Blackboys Inn was founded in the 14th century as a coaching establishment. It is possible that the inn was also founded as an overnight lodge for the drivers transporting charcoal from the local woods to Lewes and other towns.
Located near Blackboys is Tickerage Mill, which was once the home of Vivien Leigh. After her death, her ashes were scattered on the mill pond.
There is a 13th-century church, dedicated to Thomas Becket,[4] although it probably superseded a wooden Saxon one. In the 9th century it passed from the crown to the Archbishop of Canterbury, assuming its nomination as a peculiar. In 1509 a fire burned all the wooden parts of the church and the tower collapsed in the 17th century. In 1891 the church, including the tower, was restored and the bells were rehung.[5]
There is also a Baptist chapel, and there was a Methodist church at Blackboys. However, this has now been converted into houses.
Education is provided by two Church of England primary schools: Framfield;[6] and Blackboys.[7]
Leisure and sport[edit]
There are two inns in the parish: the Hare and Hounds in Framfield and the Blackboys Inn in Blackboys.
Blackboys Cricket Club is based at the Blackboys Recreation Ground.
Framfield and Blackboys Football Club is based at Framfield Recreation Ground.
AFC Uckfield's Youth Team is based at Framfield Recreation Ground.
The main charcoal business of the parish stopped in the early 19th century when the iron industry moved north to the Midlands with their large deposits of coal.

China becomes biggest luxury market
17 December 2012
BEIJING: A sustained boom in demand for high-end goods across China means the country has now overtaken the US to become the world's largest luxury market, Bain & Company has revealed.
The consultancy estimated that China yields roughly 27% of spending on luxury goods and services globally today, versus around 20% for the US. By 2015, the Asian nation is likely to deliver 33% of sales, the
China Daily reports
The firm also forecast that luxury sales should grow by 7% year on year across mainland China in 2012, reaching US$18.1bn. This is the lowest annual growth recorded by the sector in China in five years, but still outpaces most major international markets.
When including purchases by Chinese shoppers overseas, the country's net luxury spend increases to $46.4bn, as travellers take advantage of the lower prices and broader choice available overseas.
The recent weakness of the euro has encouraged this trend among visitors to Europe. But the sector also faces economic and regulatory challenges which could trim sales growth over the longer term.
Most importantly, it is expected that GDP growth will reach just 7.5% in China during 2012, according to the
latest Warc forecasts
. This would be the slowest pace of economic expansion in over a decade.
Meanwhile, Bruno Lannes, a partner at Bain & Company, suggested that new laws banning the purchase of luxury goods with public funds have also cooled domestic demand.
In evidence of this, the proportion of overall luxury sales generated by gift giving, a key category driver in China, is pegged to decline from 30% in 2011 to 25% in 2012.
Lannes also suggested that shifting tastes among Chinese shoppers are likely to wield an increasing influence on luxury product design, marketing and service provision over the years ahead.
"Changes in what Chinese shoppers want are now a central issue for the global luxury sector's largest brands," he said.

Loading... The Hunger Games Trilogy Boxed Set (original 2008; edition 2010)by Suzanne Collins
Work detailsThe Hunger Games / Catching Fire / Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins (2008)
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. I was sceptical because of the hype (Never trust the hype!) but intrigued by the title. And found the books highly addictive. What a story! Impressive. Well-written, well-handled and ultimately both bleaker and more cynical than expected. I'm not convinced it works in all the detail, but I'm willing to overlook a lot for the strong central character in spite of grating levels of romantic angst (esp in Catching Fire). Hunger games series is about a girl who is forced to participate in the "Hunger Games" where it's a fight for only one survival. She knows it's wrong and spend the next two books trying to change the system. I like this series because it's about survival and fighting for what you believe is right. I would save this one for sixth graders because it's a little dark and I want them to be as mature as possible before reading it. This series chronicling a dystopian society and it's gladiator like games was one I couldn't put down. I liked the strong and dynamic nature of the main character Katniss Everdeen. As a history teacher I often wondered about the parallels taken from history while reading. I loved how each book and the entire series left my mind wondering and questioning. A great read and a permanent structure in my personal library. I wonder if this series will have a rebirth when my children are young adults in ten years (I hope so). Will this be considered classic modern fantasy eventually? I mean if you like to read stories where the main character is supposedly badass yet decides to just hang out for half a book, this is right up your alley. Disappointing ending.
I'm sure some of my SF comrades will dismiss these novels as "escapist young adult fiction." Fair enough. Maybe I'm just immature (my wife will vouch for that in a heartbeat ;-). But I'd list two recent "young adult" fiction series among my all-time favorites, and The Hunger Games ranks beside Harry Potter in that category for me. Both are simply tremendous examples of the storyteller's art. Both feature protagonists, antagonists, and supporting casts of characters who grab the reader's imagination and refuse to let go. And I'll make a confession: The Hunger Games is the first trilogy I can remember that hooked me so profoundly that I re-read it, start to finish, as soon as I digested the last line of the last book.

Wikipedia in EnglishNone Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0545265355, Hardcover)The extraordinary, ground breaking New York Times bestsellers The Hunger Games and Catching Fire, along with the third book in The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay, are available for the first time ever in a beautiful boxset edition. Stunning, gripping, and powerful. The trilogy is now complete! (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:46:31 -0400) "In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before - and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love"--Cover.… (more) (summary from another edition) |

Taz - Unregistered July 26, 2011 1:29 PM I suspect it won't help them much. If they are taking the KERS out at this stage to try and get a handle on their issues then they really are all at sea. 4 agree 0 disagree

July 18, 2008 A Jew argues for Sharia in Englandhttp://www.jewishjournal.com/blog/item/a_jew_argues_for_sharia_in_england_20080718/ |
Geoffrey Alderman, an Orthodox Jew who writes a weekly column for the Jewish Chronicle and teaches politics and history at the University of Buckingham, apparently wants some attention. Why else would he send out this press release promoting a talk he will give Sunday to London's Islamic Shari'a Council, in which he will argue that British law has "plenty of room for aspects of Sharia to be incorporated"? "The Jewish religion has – to some extent – been successfully incorporated with the English legal system," Professor Alderman said: "this has damaged neither the status of British Jews nor the fabric of English law." Making similar intimations didn't work out so well for Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, who now has a bigger problem on his hands. |

According to the Down With The Trumpets Songfacts, Rizzle Kicks is a British Hip-Hop/Pop duo comprising Jordan "Rizzle" and Harley "Sylvester." Technically, Rizzle Kicks was founded in about 1996, when both members, in their miniature form, used to play together, round Rizzle's aunties house. It wasn't until 8 years later when the pair re-found each other, after both moving to Brighton and joining the local Sunday league, by facing eachother head-on in a football match.

windows media encoder api
Using the Windows Media encoder UI we can do the configuration setting like..device, name of the broadcasted file, bit rate and many more.
I am working on this windows media server/encoder for the first time. I did a lot of searching in the forums and internet, but i could not get a solution.
here goes my problem:
Is it possible to have a .net/c# program to create an instance of the windows media encoder and provide the necessary settings programatically, so that the user(from where the live broadcasting is done through a web cam/video cam) need not worry of the required settings. or in other words, as soon as the user clicks on a button in the web/windows application, our program should carry out the necessary setting without any user intervention and stream(PUSH) the live capture to the windows media server which inturn will be converting the video stream into "wmv" format and the same can be viewed by the users hooked on to the website.
looking forward for your suggestions and help.

This Widget shows up to five random posts from a given category
There are times when you'd like to have a certain type of post appear in a widget for use in your sidebar or (in some themes) your header or footer.
I use this to display a random senryu on each page, but it will work equally well for any group of reasonably small posts.
There is the option to include the title of the post, the title of the widget, both titles, or neither.
If you want you can add a bunch of widgets, each showing up to five random posts from a different category.
