Former Suns' star, current broadcaster Tom Chambers arrested on suspicion of DUI
Dec 11, 2013, 11:33 PM EDT
Tom Chambers, the popular former Suns star player and current broadcaster, has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, reports the Arizona Republic.
Chambers has issued an apology to the Suns organization and its fans.
The Arizona Republic has all the details, and they are not pretty.
Chambers, 54, was pulled over about 9:45 p.m. Saturday at Pinnacle Vista and Scottsdale Road in far north Scottsdale. A police officer pulled over Chambers after seeing a GMC pickup truck going north on Scottsdale Road in the bicycle lane and weaving, according to a police report.
Chambers told the officer he had a few beers at the ASU-Stanford football game at Sun Devils Stadium earlier in the night, the report indicates. There was a passenger in the truck, along with two opened bottles of beer inside the vehicle, the report states.
The report also says Chambers was belligerent and yelled during the field sobriety test, which he reportedly refused to take. Chambers consented to a blood draw, was booked and released pending the outcome of the blood results, authorities said.
Chambers issued a statement to local media.
"I take my role as a representative with the Suns very seriously and have always held myself to a high standard. I want to apologize to the Phoenix Suns and its fans for the negative attention this incident has brought upon the organization."
The Suns have said only that driving under the influence is a serious matter and they are looking into the incident.

When a purportedly prestigious magazine such as The Economist publishes an article regarding the situation of the little country where you live the least you can expect is well founded article. Sadly this was not.
In a bullfight the show is about the suffering of a bull until the moment of its death. It is animal torture. Running before the bulls (which takes place in some catalan villages) is simply not the same.
About the voting, it should be clearly stated that among the members of some of the political parties there was free vote, so it could not so easily be described as the catalan will to abolish a Spanis tradition. While it could be partially true, it should be also explained that many people are against this tradition because the animal torture it entails.
In relation to the referendum results, it is true that the result could have been better, but it should also be stressed what does it mean that the society organizes a voting without the assistance of political parties, it should have been explained that indepence support grows steadily in Catalonia, the reasons for it, and it should be compared the turn out in the referendum with latest elections etc.
Finally, to use the adjective "extreme" to describe ERC as an extreme independence party was something not only unnecessary but also unaccurate. ERC has given the oportunity to rule Catalonia to José Montilla (born in Córdoba, Spain) of a non nationalist party (PSC) who even had some difficulties in speaking in Catalan.
The thing is that you could have an opinion against catalan nationalism, but you should at least provide all the relevant information to the Economist readers so that they can form their own opinion about the catalan situation. The information provided by the article is biased. Furthermore, this is not the first time.
The Economist has lost all its credibility with such an article. In case there is no rectification and provides all relevant information, I will not chose this magazine as a valid and reliable source of information anymore. I can only wish you good luck because with articles like that the only future that awaits you is a steadily lost of your readers.
Visca Catalunya.
"...passed in 2006 by Spain's parliament and approved in a referendum by Catalonia's 5.5m voters..."; this is not true, as only about 38% of the voters effectively voted. An of that proportion, only about 65-70% voted "yes" on the autonomy chart, what means less than 30% of possitive votes. Let's reduce that impressive 5.5million people to a merely 1,8million of a roughly 8million population...That is no big approval, althoung is undoubitable that ther were some agreement.
Others's spaniards negative come from economic freaks like VAT money being applied on the territory where it is generated, when lots of companies that sell their products (such as electricity) all over Spain have their billing adress in Barcelona province.
And so on...
Mayobee, the "misinformation" in your last post to me is truly....predictable. Misinformation on some points and outright lies on others. A small point to start with . I don´t think I said you were Catalan - as it makes no difference to me . is of no interest. You can be a Catalan nationalist without being Catalan, as in your case it seems. I do know of foreigners here who get juicy rewards for joining "the Cause". Jobs, subsidies, contracts etc. Good luck to you. Perhaps I missed the boat, because I´m more interested in justice, human rights etc. The other personal point in your post..I´m sorry but I´m neither British nor un-integrated, nor upset about the "native´s" (as you put it) waywardness. I´m a fully integrated, responsible citizen who is outraged by an increasing injustice, discrimination, disregard for the Law, hate and phobia towards "Madrid" the symbol, and violence towards those who speak out against it, in this plot of earth in the north-east of Spain and south of France.
First, the " highly successful and popular" linguistic immersion. How cynical of you, since it is neither. Yes, totally private (and extremely expensive) private schools use Spanish and English or German or French - they are Intenational schools - as vehicular. But NO - I repeat NO -private school that receives subsidies or public school in Catalunya can use Spanish. This is the law. Funnily enough, the cataln politicians themselves, starting with our president Montilla, and then moving on to the opp. leader Mas...and so on, send their kids to these private schools where they learn in German and Spanish with Catalan as a subject, or English and Spanish with Catalan as a subject etc. In this way these kids come out with 3 languages and are decently prepared for life. However, 99.9% of the pop. cannot afford these schools - and so, the plebs, the rest, must only come out with Catalan. Their opportunities in life , of course, are vast.....Meanwhile, the Cat, Gov. will not give licences to open any school in Catalunya whose primary language is Spanish. To say that our kids come out speaking good Spanish in any case is a myth that has been recently exploded - apart from defying logic. It is well known that since the early 90´s the Cat.Gov. has refused to participate in in outside evaluations in this subject (when the last testing showed them to be gravely deficient ) and have since then made the subject of Spanish in high schools so easy . in fact it´s really primary school level - that it gives a false result. But logic - just logic - must prvail. How could it be possible for these kids to acquire an educated Spanish -please forgive me for stating the obvious but it is one thing being able to speak street jargon and another to be cultivated in a language - with only 2 hours a week ??? Are they geniuses here?
I would also like to remind you of the European Union Study into racism, carried out at the end of the 80´s if I remember rightly. Their conclusion about racism in Spain was that there were 2 groups who were systematically discriminated against. Gypsies and Spanish speaking school children in Catalunya. Recently a Swedish expert on education visited Catalunya and was invited to speak to the parlamentarians studying the Education Law. Her opinion? She said it was a system set up more to "control" (her word) the adults than to benefit the children. Oh, and people have tried to challenge the system, but the road for challening is blocked at every turn - legally to be sure - but only by interpretation (as the Constitution says that Spanish is the common language of Spain and must be guaranteed, but the other regional languages must be supported and encouraged. In that last bit, the nationalists have found their lever)The Catalans then set up their own Ombudsman -and refused to aknowledge the central Gov. ombudsman - so that any complaints - and there have been MANY, and loud - are thrown out immediately by their own ombudsman...and so on. I think you can get the message - the examples I could cite are innumerable. But I have a life - and must get on with it, for now. (oh one last thing -that other bit of misinformation - I didn´t say subtitled or dubbed (though TV3 have been known to subtitle Spanish films -I said translated. Directly, the same as in Palament recently. What a joke!! It´s called social engineering and generally happens in totalitarian states)
As a catalan, I believe Catalunya's independence is a no-go. It just won't happen, it's a esterile, futile, energy consuming, time wasting, utterly distracting and somewhat absurd debate.
Although Catalunya can be considered a nation in many respects, we have never ever in our history been a state. Catalunya was part of the Kingdom of Aragon -comprised of Aragon, Catalunya, Valencia and the Baleric Islands. The Kingdom of Aragon merged with the Kingdom of Castille with the marriage of Fernando of Aragon and Isabel of Castille in the XV century. Over the last 500 years, power tilted naturally to Madrid, were the kings resided.
HOWEVER, I do believe -as a majority of catalans do- that we ought to have more autonomy from Madrid. Local government has empowered the astonishingly above-average performance of Spain over the last 30 years. More of it, not less of it, should be good for the future too.
Catalunya, lead by Barcelona, is a very dynamic nation. Like most catalans I am utterly proud of being catalan, and living in the-best city-in-planet-Earth; indeed, Barcelona has everything one can wish for -except for some more autonomy from Madrid. That would serve to unconstraint our potential as a top-notch city in Europe and the world (just for instance, we do not decide where our airlines fly to and from, some organism in Madrid does that job for us, and they keep Madrid very much in mind when they do that).
It is really Madrid Catalans fight against. It is a struggle against centralisation of power. Not against Spain really. Ours is a wonderful, beautiful latin country, with an incredible landscape and cultural diversity -and hey no nonsense, great food and weather too! All regions (Asturias, La Rioja, Cantabria, Extremadura, Andalucia, Galicia, Aragon, the Basque Country, the Balearic Islands, etc) should be more autonomous. Ultimately, a federation would probably serve very well to Spain and its nations and regions. Long live Catalunya united, long live Spain united, long live Europe united.
Mayobee, now that I'm in discussion mood, I would also like to point out that I disagree with your previous claim that "it is absolutely false that there are fines for having shop signs in Spanish." Of course this is true! Even if the law doesn't say "you can't put up a sign in Spanish", the effect is exactly that because it does say that signs must be "at least in Catalan". This means that a shop sign saying "pastisseria" is fine, but if the sign says "pastelería" then it is in breach of the law, and the shop owner can be fined. Of course the shop could use "pastisseria - pastelería", but bilingual signs can be cumbersome, and if one language is chosen it can only be Catalan. By mentioning one official language and not the other one, the orwellian language law puts Spanish on the same footing as any foreign language. You can have the sign in Catalan and Spanish, sure, but just in the same way that you can have the sign in Catalan and Japanese. This is one of many such language regulations that effectively treat Spanish as a foreign language.
I wouldn't say that Catalan nationalism is racist. That would certainly be an exaggeration. But it is true that it can be rather aggressive and patronising. As a northwestern Spaniard who lived there until very recently I think all the political correctness that surrounds the use of the Catalan language can become quite irritating for non-Catalans, both Spanish and foreign, and it is not surprising that companies and universities find it difficult to attract talent from elsewhere. Anybody who has lived in Catalonia knows the experience of going to a local surgery or to a town hall office or to a library and finding that all the signs, the forms, the various information leaflets, virtually anything that is printed, is only in Catalan. Some people will justify this by telling you "if you had gone to Paris, everything would be in French!" Sure, but Catalonia is still a part of Spain and Spanish is the official language that is understood by everybody. It is Spain's lingua franca, just like English in the UK, French in France, or Swahili in Tanzania, and I do think that the administration should use both languages in parallel in the autonomous communities where another language is also spoken. In fact, that is the idea enshrined in the Spanish Constitution.
Mayobee. Just as I thought, the committee explicitly clarifies that:
"218. [...]The charted does not demand compulsory education in Catalan for all pupils, only that it shall be made available so that all pupils will receive education in Catalan if parents so wish" (p. 28)
It is beyond me how anyone can say that this committee has praised and recommended the immersion system. Unfortunately, Catalan journalists in newsparpers like Avui and even La Vanguardia routinely repeat the myth that the EU has backed the immersion system.
Mayobee, I'm having a look at your link now, which I think I already read partially one year ago. I've also had a look at two other older reports. I still can't find any trace of that recommendation that you mentioned.
Note that Spain signed the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages with the higher level of protection, and even that level of protection, which Spain voluntarily signed (other European countries opted for the lower level) only requires that Spain should provide primary education in the minority language to speakers of the language. The charter doesn't require that education should be in Catalan for everyone. In fact, it doesn't even require that Catalan be taught to children that are not speakers of the language. Any judgement passed on Spain's linguistic policy by the charter's committee is only a technical appraisal of the level to which the objectives originally accepted and signed by Spain have been fulfilled. Given the low requirements (like guaranteeing that at least one radio station should exist that broadcasts in the language) it is normal that the test is brilliantly passed in the case of Catalan. Promotion of Catalan has gone much further than anything that the charter requires. And it was Spain's decision to sign the charter in relation to Catalan, Galician and Basque. It didn't have to do it, since the charter is actually meant for non-official languages. That's why Denmark did not include either Greenlandic or Faroese within the scope of its charter commitment.
There are several reports, all very long and technical in nature, and they're not intended to pass any kind of moral judgement about how a minority language should be treated. It is just a technical evaluation of whether each point that was agreed on by Spain has been fulfilled or not. Sometimes the committe simply states that it doesn't have enough information.
In case you cannot find it: http://www.coe.int/t/dg4/education/minlang/Report/EvaluationReports/Spai...
It is interesting to note that the report criticises (in diplomatic language it is true) the central Spanish state government for not itself taking sufficient action to protect and promote Catalan.
Gelo71, you are right that it was not the EU, in fact I should have said Council of Europe, the organisation that includes all 47 nations of the continent of Europe and which is the guardian of human rights on this continent, whether they are in the EU or not. A search on Google will provide you with numerous links to this study.
Mayobee, you said: "What there is is a highly successful and popular linguistic immersion schooling system, which has been studied by the EU and advocated as a model on which other systems in bilingual societies could base theirs."
Can you provide any reference to the study by the EU and when it was advocated as a model? I ask because this seems to be a lie from the nationalist camp (but please correct me if I'm wrong). As far as I know the EU has never evaluated, let alone commend, the immersion system.
The only European study I know about the linguistic situation of Catalonia is the report on Spain's commitment as a signatory of the Charter of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages, which has nothing to do with the EU. That report praises Spain because the minimum goals of the charter have been fulfilled in Catalonia (which is obvious, since Catalonia has gone much further than the modest goals of the charter).
Really, Spain is going to disintegrate? The most economically advance
region of Spain will become another state? It might be.We even from far away get some smell when we see the hatred between fans of two biggest football clubs (Real Madrid and Barcelona) of Spain in Bangladesh, they never support others even if their rival plays with a club of another country as if Spain and Catalonia are separate countries!
Bullfight supporters only want you focus your attention on traditions. I want to draw your attention in bull pain. Meanwhile supporters shout a passionate Ole! Bullfight is a blood show, don't you think? You can judge yourselves
We thank The Economist mixed together with Catalonia cause. As much Españoles being proud of seeing bull blood as much rejection will find. Remember Catalans want to get rid of
Fair enough, Ferran, that's your view, you are opposed to independence of Catalonia. No-one wants to take the right to that view away from you. Presumably you equally have no objection to other people having their view (boring as you may find it) and expressing it democratically in elections (and potentially in an official binding referendum). If your view wins, good for you, and if the boring view wins, then good for the rest of us.
This comments you endure every once in a while, we have to read them eevery single day. And then, they justify the apathy of the catalans with statistics, facts, figures ( lisergic facts,risible,but put big words here and there and some may end up believing them)and so on.
Furthermore, they question the integrity of your paper, and accuse you of being somewhat "sold", to the views and opinions coming from Madrid ( Madrid is the word which summons all that is evil and corrupt to this jolly bunch).
To make a long story short. This is the closest we could get to Monty Python's People´s Front of Judea. The very next morning after these " referenda", all the leaders started fighting each other like schoolchildren...we really missed a little of John Cleese's " Reggie" in that pathetic scene.
Probably that is their main problem, they bore us..with their rantings, tantrums, their slogans and their vision of a Catalonia that does not exist. They bore our pants off. That's why we stayed home or went for a walk on that lovely december sunday... It was sunny and this charade was not worth even the time to go and check out wat was going on....nothing went on, except the same boring people organizing another boring and pointless event.
The tautology of it all: nationalists accusing other nationalists of nationalism.
Mayobee....This is exactly the function of the law: to control the few who insist on the unacceptable......bullfights are not a sport.
paralis, i think that is going too far. Maybe if you are referring specifically to blood sports only, that may be so, but remember that it is a "sport" that is followed by only a small proportion of the Spanish population.
Possible outcomes of a bullfight: BEST: Bull = 1; Matador = 0 ........MEDIOCRE: Bull = 1; Matador = 1........UNACCEPTABLE: Bull = 0; Matador = 1.
Spain is right now the most barbarous and retrograde estate in modern Europe.
Why is that we are having any discussion about the acceptability of bullfighting in modern society?.....Why is that we abhor and forbid fights among animals themselves while some humans(?) wish to condone the torture and murder of an animal at the hands of human beings for the sake of their own entertainment?.....What ought to be done is press charges against the Spanish government for animal right violations and cruelty to animals.

I use it...it's Saccramano I believe, but could be wrong! I use it with my cytospins to help adhere the cells to the slide and to dilute the "thicker" specimens as well. I think it works great! :o)

I was downtown today for the first time since the human statues went up, and I was not disappointed. Driving up Atlantic, I was thrilled to see a statue of a little girl swinging on a stop sign who looks like she might fall into the road. That's gonna fool some people and give them a scare, and that's my favorite part of the human statue parade. I love having my mind messed with; I love a shot of drama on a hum-drum drive around town. (No, Trump Crane, that's not a hint for you to mess with me by tossing chunks of metal down at me. Stay the F away from me.)
Outside the Ferg, I saw my first instance of people playing jokes with statues. A man crouched behind the statue of the guy with the camera, made bunny ears, then sprinted back across the busy intersection to a large crowd of his laughing friends! Yes! Mayhem! Danger! Statue Parade, you rock!
Downtown again later today, at the same Ferguson intersection, I saw a person sitting on a bench who I was sure was fake. Nope, he was real. A moment later, on my green light, five people jaywalked right in front of me by the camera guy. I actually honked at them because they were ambling and sipping sodas as if they were at a carnival, rather than jaywalking in one of the busiest intersections in the city. I swear, with the line between fake and real being so blurred, pedestrians feel they can do whatever they want. I like this element of chaos even though it's annoying.
I passed the Marilyn Monroe statue outside the Avon Theatre. Don't forget the Marilyn Monroe Look-Alike Contest Tuesday, June 10. Round up your friends, talk a few of them into wearing a halter dress and a blond wig, and meet at Capriccio at 530 for dinner and drinks. Pre-contest party at the Avon at 615, contest at 7, then a showing of the movie Some Like It Hot. Only complicated thing: you have to submit a contest application by June 4, but you can do it online. Go to the Stamford Downtown website, click "Event Calendar", and scroll down. I think there is a singing portion of the competition, so it's pretty involved, but there are cash prizes! I'm going to try to get some friends to do it. I have one friend who I think might do well.
As I left the downtown area, a banner announced the Live at Five Thursday concerts coming up. Stamford, I feel you gearing up! I'm hearing non-residents talk about the concerts, and Stamford, we are getting so famous!
Related Stamford Talk Posts:
--March 27, 2008- "Human Life-Sized Art Downtown," in which I tell you why the human statues are too much for me to handle.
--May 26, 2008- "Stamford, NYC, Trump's Looming Cranes," in which Stamford residents weigh in on our very own Crane of Danger.

--December 6, 2007- "Target Under Attack by Trump Parc?" in which I first bring up the possible danger of the Stamford crane
This guy on the bench is the one I thought was a statue, because he was sitting very still, and his skin tone looked a little odd, just like the statues.

check out the new "dancing couple" statue that stands like 20 feet high across from the Avon that was just put up today! It's kinda hideous until I learned the backstory on those characters...I'm thinking I like it! :)

I didn't go on Bedford St. today- tell me what the backstory is! Is it online somewhere?
- June 4, 2008 at 9:22 PM
ST: I will post the backstory tomorrow. To wit: supposedly there is a scaled-down version of said statue by Columbus Park/Washinton Blvd. area(?).
Sorry for my ignorance at this particular time, but I will get the full scoop from my co-worker (my source) tomorrow and report back...it's some kind of "cultural" thing is all I know....stay tuned ;) - June 4, 2008 at 9:44 PM
the *best* one I've seen so far is on the north side of Latham Park (take the street on the right, just past the Avon)...the man that fell asleep in his chair while reading his book.
I swear, he's real...until I actually touch him, he's oh so real to me! :) - June 4, 2008 at 9:48 PM

I loved those statues! I took pictures of everyone of them and The one of the man sleeping in the park was so real my siblings didn't believe me it was a statue until I sent a picture of me sitting on it :)
I wonder what are they going to use this year, last year I didn't like the animals as much as the human statues. - June 6, 2010 at 7:56 PM

The design versatility and superior durability of glass make it an ideal choice for a wide range of door applications. Pattened glass can be specified in varying degrees of privacy and diffusion for use as an upscale design element in residential shower door applications. For commercial applications, fire-rated glass is available, as well as laminated glass options which can add additional safety and security.
Wall Cladding
Who says gypsum is the only option for creating interior walls? Using glass as a wall cladding material instead can dramatically change the aesthetic vibe and energy of any interior space. With a wide range of painted glass colors available from AGC, you're sure to find the perfect choice to distinguish your space and complement the other design elements. You can even add high-definition digital images to impart a one-of-a-kind signature touch.
When used as an interior partition, glass provides the ability to separate space while creating varying degrees of privacy, diffusion, and subtle light transmission. Additionally, AGC interior glass products can be fabricated easily, so cutting, drilling, notching, and detailing with edge work are all possible to enhance the beauty and functionality.
With its ability to provide strength and durability, glass can add a refreshing design twist to your railing applications. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.

Wednesday, May 1, 2013 at 8:00 PM
| Main Stage
Tickets for this event will go on sale to the public on Friday, Sept. 21st at Noon. Tickets starting at $32 (inclusive of ticketing fees)
The Trocks' inspired blend of a loving knowledge of dance, impeccable comic approach, and the astounding fact that men can, indeed, dance en pointe without falling flat on their faces has brought them critical acclaim. This company of professional male dancers delights audiences around the world parodying classical works from Swan Lake to Giselle. The humorous sight of male bodies delicately balancing in toe shoes, leaping gleefully, posing and spinning puts a smile on the face of the widest possible audience. Combining a loving knowledge of dance with a wicked comedic sensibility, the Trocks will offer a buoyant and hilarious evening for young and old.
Sorry, No Picnic on the Patio for this performance.
Maxwell's will be open.

There are different ways to go about writing your child protection policy, but before you put pen to paper it's helpful to think about the ways that people in your group might raise a concern. You could start off by thinking about situations when:
Children who have a disability or come from a different ethnic or cultural group can easily become victims of discrimination and prejudice. Any discrimination is harmful to a child's wellbeing, and may mean that they don't obtain the services they need to keep them safe. Your organisation needs to make sure that all children have the same protection.
In trying to get help for children, you will work with other professionals who might make the wrong assumptions because of prejudice or ignorance. You and your staff know the children you work with and must make sure any discrimination is challenged so that disabled children or children from different ethnic or cultural groups find the services they need.
Our understanding about the impact of bullying on children increases each year and it is vital that you and your organisation have clear guidelines about bullying, the consequences of bullying and the support available.
There are times when bullying can reach the threshold where children are being abused or at risk of being abused. It's your responsibility to act appropriately to ensure this is dealt with effectively. You'll need to have the procedures written in different languages for anyone whose preferred language is not English, or in other formats for disabled people, for example Braille or large text.

Rams | Sign several free agents |
Mon, 20 Apr 2015 14:23:16 -0700
St. Louis Rams OG Brandon Washington signed his exclusive rights tender Monday, April 20. Restricted free-agents QB Austin Davis, TE Cory Harkey and S Rodney McLeod were also re-signed.

Rams | St. Louis intends to draft a QB |
Fri, 27 Mar 2015 10:14:28 -0700
St. Louis Rams head coach Jeff Fisher said it's the team's intention to draft a quarterback in this year's draft, despite trading for QB Nick Foles in the offseason. Florida State QB Jameis Winston and Oregon QB Marcus Mariota are expected to be off the board when the Rams pick with the 10th overall pick in the first round, but the Rams could also trade up to take one of them. The Rams could also look at the second tier of quarterbacks in this class, which includes Baylor QB Bryce Petty, California-Los Angeles QB Brett Hundley, Oregon QB Sean Mannion and Colorado State QB Garrett Grayson. Petty indicated that he has a visit planned with St. Louis. Rams QBs Austin Davis and Case Keenum will compete for the backup job, and the loser might be on the street if the Rams draft another quarterback.
Fantasy Tip: Foles upgrades the Rams offense, but unless St. Louis adds some more playmakers around him, he won't be anything more than a boring QB2 for fantasy purposes. It's highly unlikely that the quarterback the Rams draft takes over the starting job from Foles in 2015.

Rams | Austin Davis tendered by Rams |
Fri, 06 Mar 2015 19:27:13 -0800
St. Louis Rams restricted free-agent QB Austin Davis received a tender offer at the minimum level Friday, March 6. The Rams get matching rights, but no compensation if Davis signs elsewhere.
Fantasy Tip: Davis was forced into a starting role last season and he fared OK at times, but he is not expected to be a fantasy option going into 2015. He will likely be nailed to the bench as a No. 2 or 3 signal caller.

Rams | Austin Davis benched |
Wed, 12 Nov 2014 07:59:01 -0800
St. Louis Rams QB Austin Davis has been benched, and QB Shaun Hill will start in Week 11 Sunday, Nov. 16.
Fantasy Tip: Hill ($3,700; 7.4% of your cap) is only worth consideration on FantasyScore if you're looking to load up at other positions.

Rams | Austin Davis keeping job |
Mon, 10 Nov 2014 15:33:31 -0800
St. Louis Rams QB Austin Davis will continue to be the team's starting quarterback, according to head coach Jeff Fisher.
Fantasy Tip: Davis has thrown five interceptions to only three touchdowns in his last three games and has thrown for at least 200 yards in only one of those games. Davis probably should not be a starting option in any league in Week 11.

Sun, 02 Nov 2014 13:20:44 -0800
St. Louis Rams QB Austin Davis (knee) left the Week 9 game against the San Francisco 49ers in the first quarter after an awkward slide knocked his knee brace askew.
Fantasy Tip: Davis left for a play or two, had his brace adjusted on the sidelines, and he was able to return to the game.

Rams | Brett Favre endorses Austin Davis |
Wed, 22 Oct 2014 10:13:36 -0700
St. Louis Rams QB Austin Davis was 18-for-21 for 152 yards in the team's Week 7 win over the Seattle Seahawks, and former QB Brett Favre thinks Davis could be special in the league. "Not to sound off my rocker, but (Davis) -- in my mind -- can be the next Tom Brady or Kurt Warner. (Brian) Hoyer as well," Favre said. Davis' 86 percent completion rate against the Seahawks was the highest accuracy mark against a defending Super Bowl champion (minimum of 20 passes). It was also the second highest completion percentage against the Seahawks.
Fantasy Tip: Davis continues to fly under the radar, even at FantasyScore, where he'll cost $6,000 (12.0% of cap) against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8. However, the Chiefs have performed well against the pass this season, making Davis an unpopular selection for your lineups.

Rams | Austin Davis has good first half |
Mon, 13 Oct 2014 18:50:44 -0700
St. Louis Rams QB Austin Davis completed 11 of his 14 pass attempts for 137 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in the first half of the Week 6 game against the San Francisco 49ers. His scoring strike went for 22 yards to TE Lance Kendricks.

Rams | Austin Davis productive in loss |
Sun, 05 Oct 2014 17:59:30 -0700
St. Louis Rams QB Austin Davis completed 29 of his 49 pass attempts for 375 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in the Week 5 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. It was his first start since being named as the starter for the rest of the season.
Fantasy Tip: Davis was a fantastic option for FantasyScore owners at a very low price in this one. Remember him going forward when the matchup is favorable.

Rams | Austin Davis named Rams' starting QB |
Wed, 01 Oct 2014 12:44:36 -0700
St. Louis Rams QB Austin Davis has been named the team's starting quarterback moving forward.
Fantasy Tip: Davis has done a decent job replacing Sam Bradford and will try to improve his play moving forward. Davis costs $4,700 on FantasyScore this week, but owners would spend a little more money on a better option. Davis likely will not be a starting option most weeks.

5Biggest Public Utility in US Exploring Geothermal Energy to Help Ramp Up to 40% by 2020
November 10th, 2009 by Susan Kraemer
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) has signed a lease for exploring geothermal potential in Imperial County near the Salton Sea; as part of meeting its goal to make 40% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2020.
It is offering to lease the land, initially for 5 years of exploration and study at $295,000 annually representing $100 per acre per year, under a MOU regarding "Imperial Valley Geothermal Feasibility and Exploration" while it determines the feasibility of geothermal production there.
A Secondary Term grants the option to extend the term for serial terms "for so long thereafter as Lessee continues to produce geothermal resources in commercial quantities from wells located on the property".
LADWP is the largest municipal utility in the US; its membership consists of eleven cities and an irrigation district that supply electricity to Southern California, including the municipal utilities.
LADWP currently gets only 5% of its energy from renewable power, but is looking into expanding that very rapidly – to 40% by 2020. By contrast, Alameda Municipal Power already provides 56% renewable energy to the Island of Alameda near downtown Oakland. 41% comes from geothermal, 9% from landfill gas and 6% from wind.
Sacramento's SMUD makes 20% of its power from renewable sources, and it also encourages businesses and homeowners to make renewable energy by offering to buy it; and not just from solar and wind power, but it will also pay businesses that generate heat to capture it to make combined heat & power.

Try and update your cIOS and make sure you are using the latest version of the loader.
The hard drive is getting powered on. It's a WD Passport Essential 320GB, it powers on only through USB and doesn't need to be attached to the power outlet.
I also tried it with a friend's hard drive and it's also being powered on. Is there any way I can transfer something through the USB port to check if it is working correctly?

This Happened you my wii as well. Out of the blue the HDD will not load and syscheck hangs at IOS9. The weird thing is nothing has changes since when it WAS working.
I have yet to take any steps to fix it. Another strange thing was that the media player is able to read the FAT partition of the HDD.
Hi guys, hope this helps. turns out I had plugged the USB hdd in the wrong USB port. to my defence, the HDD had a Y-splitter and you needed to plug both in to work.
As for the IOS9, I just had to delete the mothballed IOS10, and everything was fine.
moral of the story - please make sure the hdd is plugged into USB port 1 (the port closest to the top edge of the wii).

try updating to cIOSd2x. I just used the same guide to update my wii, and then Uloader stopped being able to see my drive without powering it on and then off. After updating, everything works better...

The City
A northern quaint beauty, the city of Porto is the namesake of its country. The heart of the city is the river Douro; both sides of its banks are home to unique neighborhoods, art galleries, and Portuguese food markets (where you can try Porto's specialty of tripe). Both have also been named UNESCO World Heritage Areas. The city is also the namesake of Port wine, and the wineries that ferment this dark, sweet dessert wine have been the economic driving force of the city since the 19th Century. Portugal's cuisine is deeply imbedded in its history, with olive oil, oranges, and salted fish each taking central roles.
Porto is currently a hot bed of urban renewal, as young people are moving back and restoring century-old buildings. The city is the home to the immaculate Museu de Arte Contemporanea, and multiple renovated theaters.
Portugal's small towns are known for their friendly atmosphere and accessibility, and are within short train rides from Porto. Also within exploring range are the beaches of Cascais in central coastal Portugal, and the cafes, festivals and city perks of Lisbon just a little further south.

Some of the nation's grocery warehouses are limiting how much rice customers can buy.
Sam's Club, the membership warehouse Division of Wal-Mart Stores Inc., says "recent supply and demand trends" are behind the move.
Meanwhile warehouse store chain Costco says it's seeing increased demand for rice as customers stock up, and is asking customers not to hoard rice.
Analysts say it's because big rice exporters like India and Vietnam have banned rice trading to keep domestic prices low.
Sam's Club says it's limiting customers to four bags of basmati, jasmine and long grain rice per member visit. The broader chain of Wal-Mart stores has no plans to limit food purchases.
Rice prices have been hitting record highs recently on worries about tight supplies.
Sam's Club's restriction is effective immediately at all locations where quantity restrictions are allowed by law. It does not apply to other staples such as flour or oil.

Legal Education Council not to interfere with results Law College entrance examination
Principal of Sri Lanka Law College Dr.W.D. Rodrigo in a press release has indicated that, The Council of Legal Education, which is the administrative body of the Sri Lanka Law College, has decided not to interfere with the results of the Law College Entrance Examination 2012, and to proceed with the registrations as scheduled.
The press release added, "In view of the representations made and several media reports relating to the Law College Entrance Examination 2012, the Council of Legal Education vested with the responsibility of the administration of the Sri Lanka Law College states that at its request the Department of Examinations has conducted the Entrance Examination for several years. "
Principal of Sri Lanka Law College said, "The selection of examiners to set the paper, its translation and the marking of the answer scripts has been the function and the responsibility of the Department of Examinations."
Dr.W.D. Rodrigo further reveled that upon conclusion of the marking of the answer scripts the Council of Legal Education decides the cut-off mark for the admission of students to the Sri Lanka Law College.
"In view of the concerns expressed the Councils of Legal Education had had discussion with the Commissioner General of Examination and after careful consideration of all the relevant matters decided not to interfere with the results at this stage and proceed with the registrations as scheduled," the press release concluded.
Comment by FUTA
But in the meantime. FUTA President Dr. Nirmal Ranjith Dewasiri while commenting on the controversy over the Law College entrance examination results, the Federation of University Teachers' Associations (FUTA) claimed that it was another example of politicians abusing the system.
FUTA President Dr. Nirmal Ranjith Dewasiri told in an interview that it was unusual that a majority of students from a particular ethnic community had topped the results list of the Law College entrance examination last year, but it could definitely be another deliberate manipulation of the examination system.

"How sad"
I'll never get those 3 hours and 8 minutes back. She was like the crazy aunt you can't wait to get out of your house. Would not recommend this one to anyone.
"Good story"
well told
"A little let down on this one."
The story was a tad too long and at times slugish.
"Couldn't make it through this one"
very dull. I feel as if I wasted a lot of time waiting for this audio to get better, finally gave up after two days.
could not say more, simply wonderful.
"Well worth the money"
loved this book and the narrator John Slattery did a wonderful job.

How to Keep Your Saltwater Aquarium from Overheating
Updated March 09, 2014
Written by Katherine Barrington
Learn how to keep your saltwater aquarium from overheating.
One of the fundamental aspects of a successful aquarium is a stable environment which includes keeping your water temperature constant. Many fish keepers already know about the importance of keeping your tank warm enough. However, keeping your tank water cool enough in warm weather and preventing large temperature fluctuations is just as essential. In this article you will learn the basics about keeping your saltwater tank from overheating.
Why Temperature is Important
When it comes to setting up and maintaining a saltwater tank, you may think that the most important element is the salinity level. While keeping the salinity in your tank steady is essential, it is not the only thing you need to worry about. You also have to think about keeping the temperature in your tank from fluctuating because temperature stress leads to the death of many marine animals. For saltwater aquariums, a temperature between 76 to 82oF is recommended. Reef tanks do best at a slightly cooler 76 to 79 oF. This means that your tank needs to stay at a steady temperature between these ranges. Temperature fluctuations are very stressful for aquarium life. This is something to keep in mind during the warm summer months that involve temperature swings between hotter days and cooler nights (not to mention the temperature fluctuations that can result from having metal halides on during the day and off at night).
While fish are sensitive to temperature changes, species such as coral, shrimp, crabs, and starfish are much more sensitive to changes in their environment. Generally, you do not want your water temperature to fluctuate more than 2oF in a 24 hour period. If these species are subjected to very high temperatures or large temperature swings on a repeated basis, they will bleach (in the case of corals) or die. The temperature of the tank water may also impact dissolved oxygen levels -- as the temperature of the water increases, the amount of dissolved oxygen it can hold decreases. This concentration is also influenced by the number of fish, coral, and clean-up crew (bio-load) you keep in your tank. The higher the bio-load, the quicker the oxygen in the water will become depleted.
How Tank Size Impacts Temperature Fluctuations
The larger your tank is, the less its water temperature will fluctuate. This is because it takes longer to cool and heat larger volumes of water. So, for example, imagine shutting off your metal halide lighting at night. In a small nano cube tank that holds 10-20 gallons, the water temperature can change quite rapidly. However, if you have 150-200 gallons, the 12-14 hours the lights are off will not be long enough to significantly cause the large volume of water to cool. You also have to keep in mind that different areas of your tank may have different temperatures, depending what type of heating system you use and where the heater is placed. In-line heaters tend to be more efficient in regulating tank temperatures than submersible heaters, but the choice is really up to you.
How Can I Cool My Tank?
There are several things you can do to reduce the temperature of your aquarium water and keep it fairly constant. All work to varying degrees:
- If you have an air conditioner, make sure you are running it. This will go a long way in keeping the ambient temperature around the tank steady and cool. If you do not have central air, you may want to think about investing in a window unit for the room the tank is housed in.
- Make sure that no direct sunlight from windows is shining in on the tank. Even closing the blinds so afternoon sun will not heat up the room the tank is in will help cool the room by a few degrees. Avoiding direct sunlight will also reduce the risk of algae overgrowth in your tank.
- If it is possible for your specific animals, consider reducing the amount of time your lights are on during the day. This is particularly true if you are using metal halide lights, as these get tremendously hot while turned on. This method will not help with temperature fluctuations, but it will help if your water is getting too hot.
- Fans are helpful at reducing temperature when placed inside your tank hood. You can choose to purchase fans commercially or fit your tank with fans liberated from an old computer. Alternatively, you can remove a portion of your tank hood and aim a fan onto the surface of your water. Be sure to cover your tank with a net to keep acrobatic fish from jumping out and be aware that your water will evaporate more quickly.
- If you house your pumps in an enclosed stand under your tank, it will also raise the temperature of your water through the bottom of the tank. Fix this by opening up the stand door and placing a fan so it circulates the air underneath the tank.
- The most sure way of cooling a tank and the best way to prevent fluctuations (unfortunately, also the most expensive) is to purchase a chiller. These machines work to cool the water itself and are the best at keeping the water temperature constant. Chillers are available in two forms: drop-in and in-line. Drop-in chillers have coils that cool the water in a tank's sump pump. In-line chillers depend on water getting pumped into the chiller, cooled, then sent back to the tank or sump. In-line chillers can be set up away from the tank (helpful if you have limited space by your tank) and connected by tubes to your tank. Chillers cost anywhere from $170 - $2000, depending on the size you need. A temperature controller is necessary to control the chiller. These cost between $50 and $200 and are available in both single and dual-stage models. A single-stage model will only work your chiller, but a dual-stage controller will work for both your heater and chiller. For the handy fish keeper, it is also possible to build your own chiller. Directions and diagrams are available on various websites.
Owning a saltwater aquarium is both a joy and a challenge. There is nothing quite as satisfying as having a miniature oceanic environment thriving right in your home, but it does take some work to keep it healthy. Keeping your water at a constant temperature is the best thing for your aquarium life – if the temperature fluctuates too much, it could cause your tank inhabitants to become stressed. By checking your temperature often and implementing the above techniques, you can ensure that your tank does not suffer from temperature-related stress or fatalities.

Look at condition Cracks and rust showing thur keep bolts and standing rigging
In the above order
Think lucky
Have seen boats up to 36 ft in excellent condition for under 20k
I like a good inboard but a 18 hp outboard will push a 36 ft boat around the harbor.
do you want to impress a girl or sail.
Many people have used a 10/14 ft dinghy with a 5 hp on it for getting around the harbor
the 50 hp on my 44 ft cat died 5 minuets into a two day trip.
Grabed my 2 hp Seagul and put it on the transom.
rigged up the sail from a 14 ft lido and sailed 20 miles down the coast.
stoped and anchored for 4 hours for the wind and tide to shift and went put put to my ancorage.
Not reccommended proceedures for the novis but people who know wahat they are doing and are not in a hurry just go for it and have fun.
Also c aptained a 45 ft ultralight race boat with a crew of 17 in Japan with all the bells and whistles including catered meals and hot showers
both are fun 20K or 500K it is who you are with that counts
I have even found myself good company at times although being second captain and "go for" on a beautiful boat called the Dove out of San Diego was exciting also.
If you know of Judy who owned Dove tell her Hi!!
Capt bob 30 years ago = remember the Ensanada race.
Nothing wrong with arriving on the nicest looking boat with the pretiest eligible woman on your arm.

That is the only way to construct a conditional.
It forces you to think carefully about times where you actually do want assignment in a conditional (which you may), and it turns erroneous assignments in to a compilation error.
