This is yet another recent post from my outside blog, the atheist goddess:
Tuesday, May 4, 2010
So, this message goes out to all Christians but especially Catholics!
Also, remember the point I made, if your friend was pregnant and told you she "never had sex" would you believe her? There's a short answer to that question, no.
The nearly certain truth is, Mary was NOT a virgin.
In her time, it would have been understandable for her to claim "virgin pregnancy." Her life was on the line! If you Christians scrutinize the Bible you would understand why she lied. What did they do to fornicators and adultresses in 1st century Israel? They were stoned.
So, the virgin thing was probably her own attempt to save her life.
There is no doubt that Mary was either a fornicator or an adultress [by the standards of her time].
There are several circulating theories about this...
1. She was raped by a Roman Soldier [which would have been adultery in her time]
2. She had an affair with a Roman Soldier [definitely adulter]
3. She and Joseph had sex before marriage. [Fornication]
Don't say that I'm draggin the virgin madonna through the mud!
That's not my intent!
My intent is to point out the screaming hypocracy of the church!
The church advocates ONLY abstinence until marriage AND the vatican's official doctrine is that contraception is evil...
what does this mean...
that there are a LOT of "virgin" Marys out there that are being persecuted because they have broken "church ideals" for a woman. What hypocracy when the church's most holy woman is an unwed pregnant teenager!!

Yesterday's Afternoon Jolt picked on Republican state Sen. Doug Ericksen (R-42, Ferndale) for his lone "No" vote, in a lopsided 15-1 senate transportation committee vote, where nine Democrats and six republicans approved a program yesterday that would incentivize cities to consider bikes and pedestrians whenever city planners set out to build new streets.
Ericksen got back to us today (politely apologizing for not getting the message that we called yesterday until this morning), to explain his vote. "I'm all for bikes and trails," he said referencing a bill he'd proposed last year to fund trails with a local sales tax.
But he went on to explain that he has "a policy against approving empty buckets that set up the expectation that we'll fund something in the future."
Indeed, the "complete streets" bill, a state grant program for local transportation projects that apply the bike and ped equation, doesn't come with any budget appropriation.
Ericksen says that sort of legislation—earmarking future money (he cited current unfunded commitments such as the $40 million family leave bill and I-728 and 732 the school funding measures)—helps explain the current $5.2 billion budget shortfall.
Planned spending on the family leave bill is not part of the $5.2 billion deficit, but the school initiatives—at $1.1 billion—are.

Extreme Heat Challenges Crews Battling Wash. Wildfires

July 12--Crews battled six large fires in Central and Eastern Washington on Friday amid concerns about hot and dry conditions that have prompted burn bans across the rest of the state.
The Mills Canyon fire, southwest of Entiat, remained at 28 square miles and was 19 percent contained Friday evening. More than 600 firefighters worked to contain the blaze Friday, an increase of about 200 from the day before. The fire threatened 231 structures, with residents of 109 structures under an evacuation order, according to the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center.
Hotshot crews from Washington and Oregon continued work Friday on the south and northwest portions of the uncontained perimeter of the fire.
The Lake Spokane fire had burned more than one and a half square miles by Friday and was 30 percent contained. Residents at 60 homes were told to be prepared to leave at a moment's notice.
Six to 10 households were told to evacuate the area threatened by the 25 Mile Creek fire about 25 miles south of Lake Chelan. The fire, which was reported Thursday, remained at 400 acres Friday evening and was completely uncontained.
The Rock Hill fire, about 13 miles west of Mansfield in Douglas County, was fully contained by Friday. The fire burned three square miles, destroyed two homes and damaged six other structures.
The causes of the fires are unknown, according to the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center.
A heat wave throughout the state is projected to last into next week, increasing the potential for wildfire on both sides of the Cascades, according to the Department of Natural Resources. The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for most of the Puget Sound area from 11 a.m. Saturday to 6 a.m. Monday, with temperatures expected to reach 90 degrees every day through Tuesday, meteorologist Dana Felton said.
The longest streak of 90-plus degrees in the city is five days, set in 1941 and matched in 1981. Felton said it's possible this heat wave could break that record, especially since rain isn't forecast for at least seven more days. The temperatures are well above average; the normal high for this time of year is 75 degrees, Felton said.
"We're definitely locked into summertime," he said.
Temperatures will climb even higher east of the Cascades, with some places reaching 104 degrees this weekend and little relief from the heat overnight, according to the Weather Service.
All outdoor burning, except for small recreational fires, is prohibited in Pierce County and in unincorporated Snohomish County. All state forestlands in Western Washington are under a burn ban that will run through Sept. 30.

Times Are Tight: Helga Lemke says charities are feeling the pinch.
Sweet Charity
Local causes go begging after cash goes to New York
By Paula Harris
As the season of giving approaches, local charities are bracing for a potentially serious reduction in donations during what is traditionally their most productive time. The unprecedented outpouring of contributions to support victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the East Coast--an estimated $600 million has been raised for disaster relief nationwide--is putting a myriad of North Bay causes in jeopardy.
Some say donations are drying up.
This "9-11 effect," coupled with the accelerated downturn in the economy in recent months, could deal a powerful blow to those already seeking assistance.
And knowledgeable observers say the looming recession will likely bring even more individuals into food banks, church food pantries, soup kitchens, and shelters seeking help.
Maureen Shaw, executive director of Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Santa Rosa, says her organization's homeless shelter is currently full. But the group's coffers are not. "From the perspective of the September 11 tragedy, we've noted a reduction, not in the size, but in the number of gifts," she explains. "It's about a 15 percent decrease over last year."
Still, Shaw says she is cautiously optimistic that Catholic Charities, a multiservice organization with 25 different programs serving the needy in six counties throughout the Redwood Empire, can continue to garner financial support. But she admits that the economic slowdown is "frightening" and could cause a trickle-down effect, creating more homelessness.
Helga Lemke, executive director of Sonoma County People for Economic Opportunity, says it's still too early in the holiday season to accurately gauge donations, but she is definitely concerned.
Those most immediately affected were charities engaged in pledge drives when the attacks hit. "We sent out an appeal just before September 11 and got very little response," Lemke recalls. "I guess it was understandable because everyone's minds were elsewhere. But clearly the combination of the economic slump and the fact that people have been very generous on behalf of the needs of New York may have some impact."
SCPEO runs a variety of housing, health, and youth programs, including Head Start. Lemke adds that lots of local families are hurting financially and that many individuals have suffered layoffs, which in turn is making it harder for charities to snag corporate donations that used to be a slam dunk.
David Goodman, executive director of the Redwood Empire Food Bank, a local hunger relief organization, agrees. "It's a bit more challenging for corporations to justify layoffs and then give to charities," he explains.
Goodman subscribes to the theory that the real culprit is not the terrorist attacks. "A lot of nonprofits have attached the current challenge to September 11, but it's much more about the economy than about September 11," he comments, adding that the REFB does most of its fundraising in the holiday season. Had the attacks happened Nov. 11, he says, the organization would have been in dire straits.
"It's always challenging to fundraise and do the work we do," he concludes. "We stretch and pull to make ends meet every year."
Meanwhile, Lemke believes the tragedy may help revive a tradition of philanthropy. "The biggest message we can take from September 11 is that the ensuing response shows how generous we can be," she says. "I hope people are now reaffirming their priorities and will continue to be generous."

Released: Jun 01st, 1998
Running Time: 84
Director: John Dragon
Company: VCA Platinum Plus
Tina Cheri, P.J. Sparxx, Mark Cummings, Bret Singer
Critical Rating: AA
Genre: All-Sex
Few sexual positions are missed, and each gal does a solo scene before the coupling, but this is certainly a niche-market piece.
Fans of reasonably good-looking babes doing stripteases before they fuck might add an extra half-A to this - and so would we, if the dancing were anything to write home about. But aside from Tina Cheri's big tits and squirting, the sex in the two scenes presented here is pretty much by the book, with everyone looking at the camera for direction at some point! And did they really need to keep in the farts? P.J. Sparxx, unfortunately, is not much better, though prettier, and she does moan well.

1968 Chevelle - TCI Outlaw Shifter - Shifting Priorities - PHR Project Car
Written by Johnny Hunkins on February 12, 2008Street Sweeper
Before You Make Smoke, Make Sure Your Shifter Is In The Right Position. We Show You How To Make An Inexpensive Shifter Pedestal Without Sacrificing Safety, Looks, Or Comfort.
Preparing your musclecar for the rigors of highway cruising is hard enough without the added requirements of making it NHRAlegal, fast, and safe for the track. In some instances, doing one can even go against the grain of the other, for instance, when deciding whether or not to equip your car with a rollbar. Our '68 Chevelle, Project Street Sweeper, is a good example. We wanted a real pumpgas street car capable of being driven every day, but also capable of 11-second e.t.'s in the quarter-mile. From the beginning, we knew our raggedy old aftermarket shifter wasn't going to hack it for the street or the track, and we saw it as an opportunity to improve our situation twofold: make things more comfy and cool-looking cruising on the highway, and make it rock-solid reliable at the track.
We found the win-win answer to our problem with TCI's Outlaw shifter. It's got a comfortable pistol grip, great looks for the street, it's affordable at around $250 street price, and it's got the solid construction we were looking for. And don't forget the required NHRA/IHRA safety features like reverse lock-out. The Outlaw shifter is available with or without a brushed and anodized steel cover, and comes with all the hardware (including a five-foot transmission cable) necessary for hook-up to any standard three-speed trans.
We coupled the Outlaw shifter to one of TCI's new Super StreetFighter Turbo 400 transmissions when we installed our Howitzer 496ci big-block a few months ago. Besides having the beefcake needed to easily support our 630 lb-ft of torque, the Super StreetFighter trans has a dual-purpose valvebody that offers complete manual control of gear selection when manually shifted, but reverts to fully automatic in the "D" (Third gear) position. At the track, we'd be able to pull the lever all the way back into "1" to launch, then bang it forward into "2" without looking. For "Third," just squeeze the lever and bang it again. This was the perfect solution for our dual-purpose street car-manual control at the track, set itand forget it on the street. The Outlaw shifter would only make the experience more enjoyable once harnessed to the Super StreetFighter trans.
The last piece of the puzzle was where and how to position the shifter so that it would be easy to reach on the street without interfering with seat adjustment and legroom, yet close enough to grab at the track without bending over or peeling your eyeballs off the track. Since our Chevelle has a bench seat with an original column shift, a console wasn't an option. We liked the easy-cruising feel of the bench seat, and we didn't want to go with bucket seats just yet. The only solution was a custom pedestal for the shifter. We weighed our options and decided to design one out of cardboard and have it cut out in steel on a waterjet machine.
Making the pedestal out of cardboard allowed us to mock up the shifter position and test it beforehand. We could then make any necessary changes before committing anything to steel. We were so pleased with the results that we added some cupholders cut from old 4-inch exhaust pipe, painted the whole thing with some textured metal- lic graphite paint from Dupli-Color, and bolted it to the trans tunnel with four large anchor bolts. On the track, the TCI Outlaw shifter is now in a perfect position for racing. On the street, the handle is in a comfortable position, and the shifter is off the floor for all to admire.
We're getting closer to revealing all the details of our first dragstrip outing in the '68 Chevelle. All we can say for now is that the first time out, we accomplished our goal of putting the naturally aspirated pump-gas beast into the 11s with a best run of 11.70 at 113 mph. (And the TCI shifter worked like a charm!) There's more in it, too, but before we charge ahead, we owe you more details on how we got there. Next month, we'll show you how we tackled a potentially big problem we encountered with oil starvation.

ALERT: On Wednesday, the government of the state of Missouri became dysfunctional. The state legislature is back in session.
I spent a bit of time examining the bills that were pre-filed for the 2011 Missouri session. The first 10 Senate and first 10 House bills were filed by five Republican legislators, with Rep. David Sater, R-Cassville, filing nine alone. I agree with some of the bills, disagree with others and am completely confused why some were even proposed.
Of course nothing will be done under the Gray Dome on this first week, so there is time to complain by any means possible to those we elected and, of course, to me. Here are four and one-half of the Senate's offerings.
SB 3 "The act establishes identification requirements for voting." Introduced by state Sen. Bill Stouffer (R-Marshall), to prevent voter fraud.
In 2008, four ACORN workers were accused of using, "questionable registration forms." Actual voter fraud, however, is rare. Unlike Chicago, where "breathing" is not a requirement to vote.
The major problem: Secretary of State Robin Carnahan has not yet purged the eligible voter list of those who have died, felons and otherwise may no longer be eligible to vote.
The Wall Street Journal reported that when she was confronted with the latter, Carnahan, "contended that her office had no obligation to ensure individual counties were complying with the federal law mandating a cleanup of their voter rolls." One-third of our counties have more registered voters than eligible citizens.
Is requiring all voters to show a picture I.D. the answer? Is restricting those without proper identification to provisional ballots the answer? No. Requiring the Secretary of State's office and, by extension, the voting officials of each county to purge their files annually is the answer. This proposed law will only disenfranchise voters who, for whatever reason, have no picture I.D.
SB 4 — "Would repeal the Puppy Mill Cruelty Prevention Act," is contrary to the wants of 51 percent of Missouri voters. Also introduced by Mr. Stouffer, this bill will bite him in the end. ("Laugh, it was funny" — Joan Rivers)
SB 5 and SB 7 — "Requires the Department of Social Services to test applicants or recipients of temporary assistance for needy families (TANF) benefits who are eligible for employment when a case worker believes, based on reasonable suspicion, that such person engages in illegal use of controlled substances." Introduced by Stouffer (SB 5) and Sen. Jack Goodman (R-Mt. Vernon) (SB 7).
This is a topic discussed at least once a term by my speech students at Columbia College. Many of my liberal friends discuss this subject at length as well. This Stouffer proposal is a good idea: Money provided to those eligible is not used for drug purchases. Even pro-marijuana advocates seem to agree on this one.
SB 6 — Introduced by Goodman, this bill would provide that "any health plan that provides health care services to low-income individuals on a prepaid basis and that meets certain conditions shall not be considered engaging in the business of insurance and shall not be subject to health insurance laws."
With my 20-plus years of insurance experience, this bill sits on the fence, even with its long list of conditions. However, it is the last provision that puts this act in question.
The proposed law provides that licensed medical professional volunteers who provide "medical or mental health treatment to a patient at a nonprofit faith-based community health center providing health care services for a nominal fee shall not be liable for any civil damages for acts or omissions…" What about the non-profit secular community health centers?
I cannot support a state legislature providing special benefits to religious organizations, not because I am an atheist, but the First Amendment of the Constitution prohibits such actions. If the Senator would delete "faith-based" from the bill, this is not that bad. Not great, but not that bad.
Four and one-half (SB 7) out of the first 20 is pretty good for one column. Allow me to continue this next week when our state legislators can start causing some real damage.

This is handy to have to show that all tapes in a store are not just fuck and suck. Educational. Best for couples.
The first noticeable thing in this instructional product is that everyone is so darn serious. Taped in a manner reminiscent of years ago when they needed to justify touching and sex with an educational excuse, Deborah Sundahl listens with a straight face as her "subjects" make comments like "We will use the penis as a tool, and I will actually take it in hand and use it inside ?"
Three couples are seen in dual efforts to show and explain female ejaculation. Close-ups, details and methods are given to provide this release.
Honestly, for those not interested in this theme, it will be boring as hell. For those who are very curious, it will be a gold mine of information and instruction.
DVD is one long scene; no chapter breaks.

New Inmate and proud owner of 950 Adventure in Silver :clap ( Silver is obviously faster than Orange or Black....:evil ) Whilst recovering from a foot injury picked up during the recent Fantastic Rally of Discovery in Cyprus (Thanks V much Richie, Pat, Jerry etc) I managed to drop a DR650 on my right foot during a steep right turn <?xml:namespace prefix = v ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" /><v:shapetype id=_x0000_t75 stroked="f" filled="f" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" o:preferrelative="t" o:spt="75" coordsize="21600,21600"><v:stroke joinstyle="miter"></v:stroke><v:formulas><v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @0 1 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @2 1 2"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @0 0 1"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @6 1 2"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelWidth"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @8 21600 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelHeight"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @10 21600 0"></v:f></v:formulas><v:path o:connecttype="rect" gradientshapeok="t" o:extrusionok="f"></v:path><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:lock aspectratio="t" v:ext="edit"></o:lock></v:shapetype><v:shape id=_x0000_i1025 style="WIDTH: 153.75pt; HEIGHT: 115.5pt" type="#_x0000_t75"><v:imagedata o:title="foot 002" src="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\ianmc\LOCALS~1\Temp\msohtml1\01\clip_i mage001.jpg"></v:imagedata></v:shape> Anyway, with three broken metatarsels and a K wire and broken ankle bone I thought now is the time for some internet shopping for my new toy. All help wecome. 1. As I am 6 feet 5 inches tall I thought bar risers would be a good idea. I have seen the KTM product online and wondered if anyone has used these or are there any other options out there? Any other rec mods for tall guys? 2. Will the Touratech luggage rack extension fit over the Gobi mounting bars? Are ther any other options? 3.

Well most will reply that the risers are to weak and give little true help but they did help me some. Not enuf but some I just haven't wanted to go the handle bar changing route till I screwed mine up which will happen sooner or later. I raced pro moto-x way back in the early 70's when 2-3 inch rear travel suspension was the normal and thus you road 99% of the then 40 minute moto's on your feet. That is until you became to tired and your butt finally found the seat at which time you were soon being pounded by rear end bottom outs and more. I'm 6'2" plus and the risers didn't give me enuf to make standing comfortable and new bars would make it better. What I also did was remove the rubber peg insert which lowered the feet some and helped a bit also. My next move was to look for offset pegs which we also used in the old days to move your weight back toward the rear wheel for traction purposes also making the front end lighter which were adjustable in the way you rotate the mounting offset to give you also a height change if you so wanted it. I could not find anything like it and not being a welder or anything like it gave up. With an offset lower and toward rear peg, no rubber slippery insert and bar risers I would have been set. You at 6'5" will have to resort to difdferent bars or a knee operation to reduce your height some. :eek2 Cheers, Lof |
Congats on the new bike!! Silver is an outstanding choice.
The KTM risers and a new Magura EX handle bar did the trick for me at 6' 1". I also have a two inch taller seat that helps my transition from seat to feet. |
Touratech rack will fit. I trust you mean the pannier frames for the GOBI's? The plate simply replaces the original little one using the four bolts. I know it fits....I had one fitted. Much better than the little one but expensive for what it is. I sold my plate on EBAY when I got the GOBI topbox.

Fastway pegs
At 6'4" I needed some bar risers also, the ktm products were on backorder, so I made some 1" risers on my lathe. They helped a lot.
I've got the stock seat and want to try some Fastway pegs, I believe they are offset to lower your feet 1/2". |
I have the bar risers...i'm 6' 2 and dont feel they raised them enough so i rotated the bars forwards and it feels higher and arms out better.
I have the fastways pegs which are the same as the exc's and they drop em about 1/2'' which aint much.....the sidestand side peg catches on the sidestand spring triangle plate thing.....only when the peg has been kicked upwards and goes to retract....just needs stepping on with the foot to force it. Boots.........alpinestars tech 8's!!I wear these on and off roading on the 950 and the 450exc......comfy once u wear them a few times.(buy a size bigger than your usual footwear). Headlight....My UK headlight is VERY good......far superior to the 1150GS lights....even when they have fog lamps on too!!:huh :huh |
I wont be at the UK meet due to being travelling around Europe in August but the meeting should show you a few things you might want to do with the bike.
I wish i could make it though. |
I got my 30mm risers from loadedagain (on this site). I can't believe the difference. I'm 6'4" and it was a real pain when I stood on the pegs, but not since I got the risers. Much more comfortable riding position for me too. Seems like the handling is better but that might just be that I'm getting used to the bike.
I'm apparently a little guy at 5'11". But I got my bar risers from Loaded Again as well and like them. Loaded Again's website. http://www.stenhouseracing.com/ |
Are they the same one's listed for the 640 Adv?

With the loss of several seniors for both teams, the GACA Coaches pre-season softball poll shows the uncertainty that some people feel in how Commerce and East Jackson will fare in the upcoming season, which gets under way Friday.
The poll, released by GaSports.com on Friday, has Commerce in eighth place in the polling for 8-A. Last year, the Lady Tigers finished second in the region.
Commerce Ranked 8, East Jackson 5 In Polls
Display comments as

I found the article about the ranking of Commerce and East Jackson softball to be a little misleading. East Jackson is ranked 5th in all of AA in the state not just region 8. And Commerce is ranked 8th in all of A in the state not just region 8. To me that shows confidence, not a lack thereof. Even though East Jackson went undefeated and were region 8-AA champs last season, they ended up ranked 10th in AA. That's all of AA for the whole state, not just region 8.

Former Senate Deputy Majority Leader Geoff Michel told constituents on Monday that he will not run for re-election.
"Both my family and my employer have been very patient, flexible, and supportive of me for the past ten years. It's time for me to return their support and focus on a family future that is getting busier every year and may include four college tuitions," the Edina Republican told constituents.
His decision means that neither of the top members of the Senate leadership team of last year will be back next year. Former Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch previously announced her retirement.
Both lost leadership posts in the wake of a scandal in which Koch admitted that she had an affair with a subordinate staffer in the Senate. Koch stepped down from her post after confronted about the affair. Michel lost his leadership position in the Senate elections that followed.

I am asst golf course superntendant and spend a lot of time outdoors in the winter. These liners perform above my expectations. As soon as I put them on I can feel my feet warming. They fit comfortably under a pair or two of socks, do not bunch or slide down throughout the day. They were well worth the price. Would not recommend they be worn as an outer sock.

Read the replay: Live chat with author Mary Logue on 'Giving Up the Ghost'
Serial novels reveal how we're willing to wait for a good story
Chapter 38 continues
So far: Wendy's grief turns to anger at being left.
One very hot night shortly after we bought the cabin, Richard and I were sitting out on the screened-in porch, playing cards, wearing only our bathing suits.
"I know," he said. "Let's play strip poker."
"What? You've got one item of clothing on and I have one item of clothing. I think it would be a very short game. Wait. I have a better idea. How about put-it-on poker."
"How's that?"
I explained. "When I win, you have to put on an item of clothing and vice versa. Whoever ends up wearing the most clothes, loses."
I won. Richard ended up wearing a two-piece bathing suit of mine hanging off his arms, of course, counting each piece as a separate item, a pair of jeans, two T-shirts and two baseball caps stacked up on his head. I had pulled a big T-shirt on and a pair of flip-flops, which he decreed counted as only one item. I didn't argue since I was winning.
The only time I ever beat him at poker.
• • •
As I sat in front of the fire, drinking a final glass of champagne, I pictured the embroidered ties I had made for Richard hanging on the gallery wall. My handwork in a gallery. My friends there, my dad, a celebration.
For that moment, I let go of Richard and saw my life sailing forward without him.
Then, through the window, I caught sight of Richard standing outside in the snow.
He began walking down toward the lake. I could see him easily because he was still wearing the red shirt. He was moving slowly and evenly, snow falling all around him, but not landing on him. He was passing through the snow as if he didn't exist.
I ran to the window and yelled, "Richard."
He kept walking.
The snow had grown thicker. As he was moving away, it was getting harder to see him. When he reached the shore of the lake, he stopped for a moment.
I hit the glass. I wanted him to turn back and see me, acknowledge me. But he wouldn't turn back.
He stepped into the water.
I became frantic.
No, not again.
I ran out onto the deck and down the stairs, slipping in the snow. I had to catch him before he left for good.
I had to stop him.
He walked in deeper and the water rose up to his waist.
I ran to the shore. I could barely see him out in the mist of the cold water. The snow falling.
I called, "Richard."
He stopped.
"Richard, I'm here."
He turned around.
All I could see was an outline of him with his eyes looking at me.
He saw me. I know he did.
"Richard, come back."
I ran into the water. I needed to get to him. I needed to stop him from leaving. We had to be together.
The cold sliced my feet off my body. The shock of the near-freezing water hit me like death.
I stopped, unable to wade any deeper.
He watched, standing up to his waist in the piercing cold lake.
"I'm coming." I said more weakly, but I couldn't do it.
I took a step backward.
He smiled at me, the smile that was only and ever for me. Then he turned and continued to move away from me into the lake.
Soon all that was left was a trailing through the water as if an animal was swimming away just below the surface.
Tomorrow: "Giving Up the Ghost" concludes.

Once I've used a razor for 5-6 shaves it seems to need a touch up. I've got a Norton 4K/8K and a yellow coticle. What should I do? How many passes on what would get me back to sharp and ready to strop?
Once I've used a razor for 5-6 shaves it seems to need a touch up. I've got a Norton 4K/8K and a yellow coticle. What should I do? How many passes on what would get me back to sharp and ready to strop?
If you are only getting 5-6 shaves, either 1.) Your razor is a POS (no joke) or 2.) You aren't honing it properly. A well honed razor should give you at LEAST a month of smooth shaves if you're stropping properly.
What kind of razor are you using? Explain your honing procedure. Certainly though, something is awry.
- Joel
joel (at) badgerandblade.com
yea Joel's correct. What might be happening is you are getting your razor marginally sharp and it just ain't lasting or maybe it ain't sharp at all and you don't realize it eh? So tell us more.
Or you're not getting enough out of your stropping. Have you tried giving it some extra time on the linen or leather and see if the edge comes back? I just took a dull Dovo and gave it about 50 laps on the linen and another 50 on the leather and it came right back.
Joel - its probably my honing but I'll generally work it on my Norton 4K until I get a good even bevel across the blade and I'll give it an arm hair test then I go to the 8K and Yellow Coticle for about 20-30 laps on each. Then I'll strop it...30 laps on the linen and 50 laps on the leather. I am still new to this so I am open to suggestion. Thanks!
There are some guys who say they can shave with the same razor for months at a time. Maybe they have light beards, I don't know. I find I get about 15 shaves out of a razor before having to do a touchup. I have a few I can get up to 30 with. My TI damascus shaves forever but thats an exception. I find though they will shave the comfort factor starts to suffer first.
Back to the original question, which no one has answered yet. If your razor needs a touch-up, what is a good start to getting it back to good shaving sharpness? For example, I have a diamond-pasted paddle with 1.0 and .5. How many laps on each to start? (I'm assuming, of course, that the razor isn't overhoned or something.) I realize every razor will be different; I'm just looking for a ballpark figure. 20 strokes on each? 10?
No one has answered the question, because there is a bigger problem at hand - and the question asked cannot be answered legitimately, as again, there is a much bigger problem/issue.
As for YOUR question RE: the touchup with your diamond paddle, it really depends on the razor and how sharp it is. As silly as that sounds, it isn't something quantifiable. For example, say you have a WEDGE that needs to be touched up. It's going to need a HELL of a lot more passes than an extra hollow ground razor. What further complicates things is the steel of the razor itself. For instance, a TI's steel reacts and is a different hardness than say a Dovo, and a Tim Zowada Damascus razor, or a TI Silverwing are hard as diamond and are going to require a heck of a lot more work than say a Dovo Prima Klang or the like.
A good place to start would be about 20-30 strokes on the .5
Hope this helps.
- Joel
joel (at) badgerandblade.com
My touch-ups consist until recently of 15-20 laps on the Y/G Escher. Nowadays that's followed by 50 on the Nakayama.
Thanks, Joel. As a straight razor newb, sometimes it's hard to clear all of the variable hurdles. My razor in question is a new Dovo Best Quality, professionally honed before I got it. I've shaved with it 5 or 6 times, and it seems to be getting dull. My reference point is a Geneva Cutlery razor which also came shave-ready. I've shaved with it many more times than the Dovo, and it is still plenty sharp. For the Dovo, I tried 20 strokes on the .5, which helped some, but it's still not doing as well as the Geneva. Is it possible that I have rolled the edge with poor stropping technique?
1 of 2 things are happening... the "professional honing" isn't so great, or the grind is too hollow for your beard. If the Geneva for instance is a wedge, 1/2 hollow or 1/4 hollow, it'll shave a LOT differently - and hold its edge a lot longer than a full hollow dovo.
Also remember.... even the BEST honing pro will occasionally send out a razor that just plumb isn't shaving perfectly. You cannot test shave with EVERY razor (and then it is actually a "used" razor at that point, and you cannot legally sell it as new) and you start to run out of hair on your hands and arms While it might not happen often - I submit there isn't a SINGLE honemeister that doesn't occasionally send out a razor that isn't done to the best of their abilities.... again, not on purpose - but it happens.
- Joel
joel (at) badgerandblade.com
I'm pretty sure the Dovo just got dull. I had used it for about two weeks by the time I put it away; I just didn't get back to it because some razors came in and I forgot about it. I used to not use the linen on my Illinois 127 because I didn't like the way it made the edge feel, but a few months ago I tried one of my old worn vintage strops and liked the results, so I tried taking off that plastic coating with some pumice. That Illinois is what I'm using right now - I'm about 6 weeks in on this TI and it's still going strong.
Of course, with my shaving technique still in the developmental phase, it's hard to tell if the razor is at fault, or my lousy technique.
I did 10 laps on the 1.0 followed by 10 laps on the .5 with the Dovo, stropped and shaved this morning. Closest to BBS I've gotten yet.

Konar, Sushan and Bhattacharya, Dipankar (1999) Magnetic Field Evolution of Accreting Neutron Stars - III. [Preprint]
9812035.pdf Download (154Kb) |
The evolutionary scenario of the neutron star magnetic field is examined assuming a spindown-induced expulsion of magnetic flux originally confined to the core, in which case the expelled flux undergoes ohmic decay. The nature of field evolution, for accreting neutron stars, is investigated incorporating the crustal microphysics and material movement due to accretion. This scenario may explain the observed field strengths of neutron stars but only if the crustal lattice contains a large amount of impurity which is in direct contrast to the models that assume an original crustal field.

Lufthansa Cargo and Shenzhen Airlines are planning to inject more capital in its Chinese cargo joint venture Jade Cargo International, and expects the capitalisation to be completed by year-end.
"We are concentrating on stabilising Jade and will give Jade a solid capitalisation," says Lufthansa Cargo's chairman and CEO Karl Ulrich Garnadt.
Noting that Jade was operationally profitable in 2010, Garnadt adds that it requires "broader capitalisation" to grow further. "It is still in the initial phase, unlike Lufthansa Cargo," says Garnadt, adding that he expects for the capitalisation to be completed in about five months.
Lufthansa Cargo has a 25% stake in Jade while Shenzhen Airlines holds a 51% share. The remaining 24% stake is held by a German bank.
Despite the capitalisation plans, Garnadt indicates there are no plans yet to grow Jade's fleet further. It currently operates six Boeing 747-400 freighters.
Lufthansa Cargo, which operates 18 Boeing MD-11 freighters, will take delivery of five Boeing 777 freighters between 2013 and 2015.
However, there are no plans to introduce the 777F into Jade's fleet. "There is a good advantage in having the 747Fs, because there are certain markets that can be served by them," says Garnadt.

OSPHO is a rust-inhibiting coating - NOT A PAINT
You do not have to remove tight rust. Merely remove loose paint and rust
scale, dirt, oil, grease and other accumulations with a wire brush - apply
a coat of OSPHO as it comes in the container - let dry overnight, then
apply whatever paint system you desire. When applied to rusted surfaces,
OSPHO causes iron oxide (rust) to chemically change to iron phosphate - an
inert, hard substance that turns the metal black. Where rust is
exceedingly heavy, two coats of OSPHO may be necessary to thoroughly
penetrate and blacken the surface to be painted. A dry, powdery,
grayish-white surface usually develops; this is normal - brush off any
loose powder before paint application. |
For new ferrous or aluminum metals: remove dirt, grease, or
oil; apply OSPHO, let dry overnight, then paint. |
where appearance is important, apply one coat of OSPHO,
let stand for approximately thirty minutes or until metal is etched. Flush
with water, avoiding damage to adjacent areas; or wipe to a smooth finish,
let dry, then paint. Where appearance is not important, one coat of
OSPHO is recommended to thoroughly coat and etch the metal. Let stand
overnight or until completely dry. Brush off any loose powder before
painting. |
A typical paint
application will last much longer after an application of OSPHO
because subsequent paint coatings attach themselves so tightly that
moisture and oxygen cannot attack the metal. OSPHO is water-thin,
and therefore goes on easily and covers a larger area than paint. One
gallon covers approx. 600 square feet. Historically, best results have
been achieved using an oil-base primer and topcoat. Test a trial sample
before using under epoxy or latex-base paint applications. OSPHO is
equally effective for exterior and interior work alike and is highly
recommended as a pre-treatment coating by leading paint manufacturers. |
For best results, use
OSPHO at temperatures no lower than 36 degrees F. Excessive dew and
humidity may prolong drying time and cause powdery buildup. |
Spray equipment should
be flushed out with water after using. Clean brushes with water. Avoid
getting OSPHO on adjacent areas such as painted surfaces, concrete,
masonry and stonework. If splashing occurs, flush immediately with water
to remove. |
WARNING: OSPHO contains phosphoric acid. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. If taken internally give large quantities of milk or water. Call physician. Avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact, flush with water. Prolonged exposure to skin may cause irritation - use rubber gloves or other forms of skin protection. |

I had to deal with a severely overgrown Leylandi and Laurel hedge. I soon discovered that disposal of that waste, which I could not burn on my stove, was my biggest problem.
I bought the Bosch from B&Q after seeing a similar machine gobble up half an ornamental tree on You Tube - the video seemed quite genuine, home made and convincing.
The box it came in implied it could handle wood of a diameter of up to 35mm. I assembled the machine according to the instructions and plugged it in to test it.
I tried a small branch of the Leylandi that was lying on the floor closest to me. The machine failed and overloaded after 3 seconds. I measured the diameter of the branch I had put in and it was 22mm. An under performance of just over one third.
To add insult to injury their is no cut out reset. It does it by itself seemingly. This one reset after about 3 minutes. - I am returning it to B & Q.

April 5, 2012Of Ants and Violent MenE.O. Wilson, The Daily Beast | ||||||
Have you ever wondered why, in the ongoing presidential campaign, we so strongly hear the pipes calling us to arms? Why the religious among us bristle at any challenge to the creation story they believe? Or even why team sports evoke such intense loyalty, joy, and despair? The answer is that everyone, no exception, must have a tribe, an alliance with which to jockey for power and territory, to demonize the enemy, to organize rallies and raise flags.

Suikoden II |
Suikoden II reviewReviewed February 16, 2004djskittles says: "Ever since the first Suikodens debut on the Playstation, the RPG series has grown into a popular franchise. Suikoden has spawned two sequels, two text adventures and a couple card games, not to mention a devoted following. In the videogame industry, sophomoric efforts are often times inferior to the original. Just look at the likes of Syphon Filter 2 and Metal Gear Solid 2(Im not counting the NES games). Fortunately, Suikoden II joins the ranks of Silent Hill 2, Dynasty ..." |

Thank you for your continuing interest and support as we complete our fourth year of operation. 2013 was a very successful year at the Park, as evidenced by the excellent progress of existing client companies and the admission of 16 new start-ups! Their momentum and emerging future potential enhance our role and responsibilities within the broader research mission at Notre Dame, and we are excited to accept the challenge to serve our clients in their march to market.
Here are a few key metrics to highlight the Park's progress since its doors opened:
Cultivating marketable innovations in an inspirational environment remains the mission of Innovation Park at Notre Dame. We are fortunate to be an active partner with the 30 resident companies breaking new ground in information technology software and hardware, nanotechnology, energy, medical technologies, and micro-fluidics, in addition to companies working to create a specific social impact. While each is focused on realizing its own potential as a sustainable enterprise, all share the common goal to disrupt the status quo to yield constructive change in the market.
The opportunities and challenges facing these young companies demand more than a good idea and team passion. They require an openness to seek assistance and actively collaborate with market experts in the region and in the Notre Dame network. Facilitated introductions to these experienced practitioners provide invaluable professional counsel and direction, and, quite often, are an important source of encouragement during the inevitable rough times.
We appreciate the generosity of so many individuals and foundations that recognize and support the effort to accelerate the innovative spirit and active entrepreneurship at Notre Dame. These benefactors and partners devote time, talent and capital to this effort, and we sincerely thank them. However, maintaining and accelerating this momentum requires additional resources that are urgently needed to add new space and enhance client support programs. Please contact me directly for more information.
Please continue to follow the progress of the many aspiring entrepreneurs and companies on our web site: www.innovationparknd.com or via this new application for mobile devices: http://ondemand.mopi16.com/innovationparknd. Contact any one of the Park team if you would like a tour or are interested in getting involved as a client company, mentor, investor, or partner.
Your continued interest and support of Innovation Park's mission is sincerely appreciated. Thank you.
Best wishes for 2014.
David H Brenner: Executive Director

NCAAF Armadillo's Write-Up Saturday, September 17 Saturday's best games West Virginia won its last five games vs Maryland, the last four by 12+; WVU won last two visits here 31-14/31-19- they've got 1,194 yards on ground in last four series games. Terps gained 499 yards, 348 thru air in 32-24 win over suspension-plagued Miami, which turned ball over four times. Terps covered four of last five as home favorite. Mountaineers trailed Norfolk State 12-10 at half last week- they play LSU next week. WVU covered 11 of last 16 games as a road underdog. Auburn gave up 38-34 points in its first two games, snuck out both wins now inexperienced team (6 starters back, QB's first road start) travels to play Clemson squad that lost 27-24 on Plains LY, Auburn's third series win in row, by 3-3-4 points. Clemson struggled with I-AA Wofford last week, winning 35-27 (21-21 at half); Terriers had 272 rushing yards vs Clemson. I'm guessing Auburn runs ball better than Wofford. Clemson is 7-5 as home fave under Swinney. Since '02, Auburn is 12-8 as road dog. Over last 10 years, Ole Miss is just 4-12 as a road favorite. Underdogs are 8-3-1 vs spread in last dozen Ole Miss-Vandy games; Rebels won four of last six visits here, with favorites covering their last three trips to Music City. Vandy gave up defensive TD and another on a blocked punt last week, but still beat UConn despite completing only 13 of 27 passes, convering 2-16 on 3rd down. Commodores are 1-8 as home dog the last two years. First road start for Ole Miss QB Stoudt. Colorado outgained Cal by 212 yards in OT loss last week, finding a star in soph WR Richardson (11 catches, 284 yards, two TDs)- they're 6-2 in last eight games vs Colorado State, with faves covering four of last five in series despite seven of last nine series games decided by 7 or less points. Buffs have injury problems on OL. State is 3-10 as road underdog with Fairchild as coach. Since '05, Colorado is 2-5 as fave away from Boulder. With Ohio State game on deck, Buffs need win here to avoid 0-4 start. Florida won its last six games vs Tennessee (4-2 vs spread); Volunteers lost last three visits to Swamp by 10-39-9 points. Gators crushed pair of inferior foes (41-3/39-0) to start season, but both teams are I-A teams at least. Florida has very young OL (36 starts) and only four starters back on defense, but they have senior QB. Vols were 10-13 on 3rd down last week in 45-23 win over Cincinnati (was 14-14 in 1st quarter). Tennessee covered seven of its last ten games as a road underdog. Underdogs are 7-1-1 vs spread in last nine Michigan State-Notre Dame games; Spartans won five of last six visits here- they've outgained Irish in 11 of last 14 series games, with five of last seven totals 55+. Notre Dame lost its first two games in excruciating style, giving up 203 passing yards in 4th quarter last week (to a QB not known for passing skills), turning ball over five times (three in red zone) week before. Senior QB Cousins threw for 2,825 yards LY; if young OL protects him, look out. Since '06, Spartans are 7-5 as a road underdog. UCLA (+15) won 34-12 at Texas LY, running ball for 264 yards; it was supposed to be Neuheisel's breakthrough win, but Longhorns' struggles rest of year diminished win. Both sides are still struggling to find QB, are trying multiple kids in non-conference play. Bruins allowed 202 yards on ground to San Jose State, but pulled away late- they're 14-8 as home dog since '03, but just 7-6 under Neuheisel. Texas was down 13-3 at half to young BYU, pulled game out late- they're 7-4 as road fave since '08. Louisville lost last four games vs Kentucky, with three of four by seven or less points; Cardinals lost last two visits here, 31-27/40-34. Dogs are 3-0 vs spread in their last three visits here. Cards outgained FIU 446-293 last week, held Panthers to nine first downs, but lost 24-17, with WR on FIU catching seven balls for 201 yards. Wildcats had only 114 yards in air in last week's 27-13 win over Central Michigan (trailed 13-6 at half). Louisville is 4-6-1 vs spread in last 11 games as a road underdog. USC snuck out wins in its first two games, beating Minnesota 19-17 and Utah 23-14 (Utes' game-tying FG was blocked/run back for TD on last play of game); Trojans are now 3-10 in last 13 games as home favorite. Syracuse had only 36 yards rushing in 21-14 win over I-AA URI last week, after they beat Wake Forest in OT in opener (trailed 20-7 at half). Orange are just 6-23 on 3rd down- they're 5-3 vs spread under Marrone as road dog. USC had Pac-10 game last week, has another next week. Oklahoma was 32-42/394 passing in 47-17 (-7) pasting of Florida State LY; Sooners are just 2-6 as road favorite last two years; they've got first Big 12 game next week. OU ran 100 plays for 663 yards in opener, easy win over Tulsa- they had 246 rushing yards, 417 thru air. Since 2007, Seminoles are 6-7 as underdog; over last decade, they're 2-2 as home dog. FSU hasn't been tested yet, waxing pair of overmatched foes. Each team has 16 starters back. LY, Miami had TDs on both punt/kick return in Columbus, but still lost 36-24 (+8), thanks to minus-4 turnover ratio. No idea what to expect in Ohio State-Miami game this year, with so many guys still suspended on both sides. Hurricanes get QB Harris back here, but sub Morris played well enough in 32-24 loss at Maryland, as Miami gained 399 yards but turned ball over four times. Over last nine years, Miami is 16-33 as home favorite. Over last decade, Ohio State is 4-4 as a road underdog. Home side won last four Utah-BYU games, with dogs 11-3 vs spread in last 14 series games; Utes lost last two visits here, 26-23/27-10- they're 6-1 vs spread in last seven series games as a dog, but are 6-7 as road dog under Whittingham. Both sides lost tough road games last week; this is an intense rivalry, but no longer a conference game, with Utah moving to Pac-10, and BYU an independent. Cougars have already played couple of tense road games; since '06, they're 15-10 as a home favorite. Since 2005, Arizona is 9-1-1 as a home underdog, but they have one of youngest OLs in country; last week, Wildcats had only 41 rushing yards in 37-14 (+14) loss at Oklahoma State, now they get Stanford's prolific QB Luck. Cardinal had 205 yards rushing, 299 passing in 44-14 win last week at Duke. Arizona is way better than Duke, but Stanford won four of last five visits to Tucson, with last three decided by 5 or less points. Cardinal covered five of last six games as a road favorite.
Texas travels to UCLA Saturday TEXAS LONGHORNS (2-0) at UCLA BRUINS (1-1) Kickoff: Saturday, 3:30 p.m. EDT Line: Texas -3.5, Total: 44 Texas looks for payback when they face a UCLA team that won big in Austin last season, 34-12. Much of that was due to five Texas turnovers plus a Bruins ground game that rumbled for 264 yards on 56 carries. The Horns come into the game having erased a 13-0 deficit to BYU at home on Saturday night, aided by a QB rotation of Case McCoy and David Ash after Garrett Gilbert (2-of-8, 8 yards, 2 INT) was benched in the second quarter. McCoy is expected to get the first snaps as Texas tries to end a three-game losing streak in the series. He went 7-of-8 for 57 yards and led the winning drive in the fourth quarter, while Ash completed 2-of-3 passes for 35 yards and rushed for 36. The Longhorns' other big decision was listing freshman Malcolm Brown as the starting tailback ahead of senior Fozzy Whittaker. Brown leads Texas with 154 rushing yards on 30 carries and should have success against a UCLA defense that's given up 55 points this year in a loss to Houston and lackluster win over San Jose State last week. Expect the youth movement to result in TEXAS winning and covering the spread. The FoxSheets show a three-star trend backing the 'Horns: Play On - Any team (TEXAS) - an average offensive team (21 to 28 PPG) against a good offensive team (28-34 PPG), after scoring and allowing 17 pts or less points. (30-8 over the last 5 seasons.) (78.9%, +21.2 units. Rating = 3*). UCLA's Derrick Coleman rushed for 135 yards—all in the second half—and capped a 79-yard drive with a 24-yard touchdown run with 3:35 remaining to seal UCLA's 27-17 win over San Jose State, which has been one of the worst FBS teams the past few seasons. UCLA hopes to be helped by the returns of linebacker Glenn Love and quarterback Kevin Prince from injuries, along with center Kai Maiava's return from a one-game team suspension. Prince left against Houston in the second quarter after sustaining a minor concussion and sprained right shoulder. UCLA head coach Rick Neuheisel has not said whether Prince or Richard Brehaut, who completed 12 of 23 passes for 145 yards and a touchdown last weekend, will start.
WVU looks for 3-0 start at Maryland WEST VIRGINIA MOUNTAINEERS (2-0) at MARYLAND TERRAPINS (1-0) Kickoff: Saturday, noon EDT Line: Maryland -1, Total: 58 The Mountaineers know they'll need a huge improvement over last week when they travel to Maryland. West Virginia trailed 12-10 to Norfolk State at halftime before a 45-0 snowballing in the second half behind Geno Smith's 371 passing yards and 4 TD, perhaps an indication that the Mountaineers are becoming more comfortable in new head coach Dana Holgorsen's complicated system. Expect the visitors to cause problems for a Maryland defense that was shaky at times during a win over an undermanned Miami-Florida team in Week 1. The Mountaineers are 5-0 (4-1 ATS) in the past five meetings between these two—outscoring Maryland by an average score of 31-18—and WEST VIRGINIA is the pick to win this one on the road. This three-star FoxSheets trend also likes the Mountaineers. All teams where the line is +3 to -3 (W VIRGINIA) - after outgaining opp by 125 or more total yards in their previous game, with 4 or fewer defensive starters returning. (30-8 over the last 5 seasons.) (78.9%, +21.2 units. Rating = 3*). Smith also threw four touchdown passes in last year's 31-17 win over Maryland. The Terrapins rushed for minus-10 yards in Morgantown, as WVU tallied eight sacks. Maryland hasn't played since that aforementioned game against Miami on Labor Day, a 32-24 win. Danny O'Brien threw for 348 yards against the 'Canes and Davin Meggett rushed for 92 yards. Maryland wasn't exactly dominant, but the Terps were effective at taking advantage of the Hurricanes' mistakes, running back an interception and a fumble for touchdowns. A 54-yard interception return by defensive back Cameron Chism with 39 seconds left sealed the victory after kicker Nick Ferrara gave Maryland a 26-24 lead with a 32-yard field goal with 1:39 remaining. It's a promising start for coach Randy Edsall, who took over a program that went 9-4 last season. However, that wasn't enough to save Ralph Friedgen's job, and fans are looking for more this year. They may not get it here in their second game of the season: The Mountaineers are rarely an underdog—and they're only the slightest of dogs here—but have gone 6-1 ATS when getting points since 2007.
MSU tries to hand Notre Dame 3rd straight loss MICHIGAN STATE SPARTANS (2-0) at NOTRE DAME FIGHTING IRISH (0-2) Kickoff: Saturday, 3:30 p.m. EDT Line: Notre Dame -5, Total: 52 Michigan State tries to kick a team when it's down when it visits South Bend. Notre Dame led Michigan 24-7 after three quarters before allowing 28 points in the fourth. QB Tommy Rees threw for 315 yards and three touchdowns, but also had two interceptions and a lost fumble in the red zone in that game. Neither of Notre Dame's quarterbacks, first Dayne Crist and now Rees, has taken care of the ball. The Irish have turned it over 10 times in two games and are 0-2 despite outgaining their two opponents 1,021 to 706. Michigan State is 6-2 SU (7-1 ATS) over their last eight games in South Bend. And, more importantly, these teams always play close games. Four of the last six matchups have been decided by three points, and nine of the last 11 have been decided by a touchdown or less. With another tight one likely coming on Saturday, Michigan State is the pick. The FoxSheets show a three-star trend that also works against the Irish: NOTRE DAME is 0-8 ATS (-8.8 Units) in home games when playing with 6 or less days rest over the last 3 seasons. The average score was NOTRE DAME 27.3, OPPONENT 26.2 - (Rating = 3*). The Spartans have only allowed 302 total yards (152 passing) and six points in wins over Youngstown State and Florida Atlantic. MSU is 11-3-1 ATS (10-5 SU) versus Notre Dame since 1995, including last year's amazing 34-31 overtime win on a fake field goal TD pass. QB Kirk Cousins has 41 TD and 20 INT in his career and has been sharp in what were essentially two warmup games to start 2011: 34-for-42, 405 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs. The Notre Dame defense allowed 338 passing yards to a Michigan passing game that isn't very sophisticated. They've also already racked up 148 penalty yards through two games.
Washington and Nebraska meet again WASHINGTON HUSKIES (2-0) at NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS (2-0) Kickoff: Saturday, 3:30 p.m. EDT Line: Nebraska -17, Total: 55 Washington and Nebraska play for the third time in less than 12 months on Saturday. The Cornhuskers rushed for 383 yards and 6 TD in a 56-21 win in Seattle in Week 3 last season. But the Huskies got even in the Holiday Bowl, limiting Nebraska to 91 yards on 41 carries and winning 19-7. Nebraska is a large favorite—although the line has dropped since having opened at 18.5—as it was prior to the Holiday Bowl. Some suggested that the Huskers weren't ready in the previous meeting, having lost their previous game to Oklahoma in the Big 12 title game, and thus squandering a chance to go to a BCS Bowl. Expect revenge to play a factor Saturday and for fiery Nebraska head coach Bo Pelini to have his players fully focused, which is one of the reasons why NEBRASKA is the pick to win comfortably and cover the large spread at home. The FoxSheets show another reason to side with the Huskers: WASHINGTON is 13-30 ATS (30.2%, -20.0 Units) after allowing 125 or less rushing yards in 2 straight games since 1992. The average score was WASHINGTON 24.0, OPPONENT 24.9 - (Rating = 1*). Washington sophomore QB Keith Price has been impressive this season, going 35-for-50 for 417 yards, 7 TD and 1 INT after having taken over for Jake Locker, who was a first-round NFL Draft pick. Huskers QB Taylor Martinez, who had 287 total yards and four scores in Seattle last year, torched Fresno State for 385 yards (219 passing, 166 rushing) and 3 total TD in Saturday's 42-29 victory. Martinez and the Nebraska offense pose a different challenge than what Washington has faced so far this season—the Huskies' first two opponents attempted 114 total passes, while Nebraska has thrown just 46 in two weeks. Washington will at least be familiar with what it sees, as the entire defensive line from last season has remained intact.

USDA Prime: Prime grade beef is the ultimate in tenderness, juiciness, and flavor. It has abundant marbling -- flecks of fat within the lean -- which enhances both flavor and juiciness. Prime roasts and steaks are unexcelled for dry-heat cooking (roasting and broiling).
USDA Choice: Choice grade beef has less marbling than Prime, but is of very high quality. Choice roasts and steaks from the loin and rib will be very tender, juicy, and flavorful and are, like Prime, suited to dry-heat cooking. Many of the less tender cuts, such as those from the rump, round, and blade chuck, can also be cooked with dry heat.

It is fairly tender, but, because it has less marbling, it may lack some of the juiciness and flavor of the higher grades. Only the tender cuts should be cooked with dry heat. Other cuts should be marinated before cooking or cooked with moisture to obtain maximum tenderness and flavor. More info from USDA ...
