G 23 Defense Set 1 of 2
What do you know of a "Defense Set" issue G21 & G23, both 2nd generation?
My set that is pictured there is a 9mm set. If you have both guns together and they're matching they're definitely worth more than a single G23 and G27 separately. I paid about $150-$200 premium over what a pair of these guns were worth at the time. They are NIB too, though. I'd say as time goes buy, they are harder to find in NIB and together, so the premium for having an unbroken and/or unfired set should go up exponentially compared to a broken or fired set.
That's a great link, but here's the twist: the 23 is in the AAC series but is a much lower serial number than 1499, and the companion piece is a 21. Not sure what serial number, but has the same slide stamping. Any thoughts?
Not without seeing them... Can you send me a picture?
My e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
I guess at first blush, what I'd say is that it is probably a "put-together" set, and therefore a hoax. Someone could have had the G-21 engraved with "2 of 2" and had the slide refinished, possibly even by Glock to make it look good...
The idea behind the Defense Sets was that the owner would have matching compact and subcompact in the same caliber. Not only did this make ammo interchangeable, but it allows one to use the compact's larger-capacity mags in the sub-compact. (If you carry both guns, you'd just carry the compact's spare mags and be able to reload either/both pistols.)
One should never say "never" but I doubt Glock made a Defense Set in the same serial number range with a full-size 45 and a mid-size 40... Just doesn't make sense.
The G23 should be marked "1 of 2" and the G27 should be marked "2 of 2". The G23 should have a serial number between AAC0000 and AAC1499, so if it's lower, but has the same prefix that means it's a standard 40-caliber defense set item. Nothing unusual about that (other than it's a defense set gun...).
What is the G21 marked, as far as "1 of 2" or "2 of 2"? Also, does the serial number on the G21 match the serial number on the G23??
im gonna bring this back up to the top.
I have an AAC1087 g23 1 of 2 defense set glocks how would I go about finding it lil brother? would the G27 Have the same AAC1087 serial?
The G27 for your set would be AAD1087.
Finding it would be a challenge. Not impossible, but very close to it. When you do find it, you'll have to hope the interim owner kept the boxes and paperwork; kept it in good condition; etc....
The only sure way to get a set in collectible shape is to buy one that's been kept together, and apparently, that's rarer than one would think.
There were 500 sets in 9mm and 1500 sets in 40.

When did U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore start worrying so much about the poor little folks on Wall Street?
Moore — a Milwaukee Democrat representing Wisconsin's poorest congressional district — bucked her own party last week by vocally supporting a bill that would help big banks by exempting them from U.S. regulations when they trade derivatives through foreign subsidiaries.
Critics have called the bill the "London Whale Protection Act," a reference to the J.P. Morgan trader who lost his firm $6.2 billion last year. Opposing the measure were many labor and consumer groups and the Obama administration — in other words, some of Moore's key allies.
National liberal leaders are now — believe it or not — raising questions about the liberal lawmaker's motives.
"It's shocking," Ed Mierzwinski, a senior fellow with the consumer advocacy group U.S. Public Research Interest Group, said of Moore's vote.
The explanation might be as basic as it gets in American politics.
"There's a lot of fundraising potential in these bills," said Marcus Stanley, policy director of Americans for Financial Reform, a Washington, D.C.-based coalition of mostly liberal organizations.
Records show Moore's campaign fund took in more than $83,000 from the banking and finance industries in 2011-'12, with her leadership committee receiving $15,000 more — meaning she received more from these special interests than any other Wisconsin rep except U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, long a darling of Wall Street.
This year, Moore already has collected $35,750 from investment firms and banking interests, including the political action committee for CME Group, which describes itself as the "world's leading and most diverse derivatives marketplace."
In sum, she has received nearly $135,000 from financial firms since January 2011.
But Moore's congressional staff dismissed any suggestion that she was being rewarded for her allegiance to the moneyed interests.
"Absolutely not," said Minh Ta, chief of staff for Moore.
Moore spokeswoman Staci Cox chimed in: "Wall Street has no influence on how the congresswoman votes."
Moore is, in truth, backing a raft of bills pushed by international banks to loosen curbs on derivatives contained in Dodd-Frank, the big regulatory overhaul enacted after the financial meltdown of 2008. Derivatives are complex financial securities that played a role in that crisis.
Ta labeled the various bills "technical fixes," most of which passed with Moore's help in the last congressional session. He also noted that Moore, a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, co-sponsored Dodd-Frank. She is also a member of the Financial Services Committee.
Moore has defended her support of the bills by saying they are important to major manufacturers in her district, including Caterpillar Inc. But Ta said no particular Wisconsin company had lobbied Moore to support the measures.
Last week's derivatives bill passed by a vote of 301 to 124.
Mierzwinski said his consumer-interest group was disappointed in Moore's vote.
Moore and many other federal lawmakers, he said, are hoping their constituents at home aren't watching as they do the bidding of the banking interests. In Moore's case, more than a quarter of the residents in her district were living below the poverty line in 2010, and the median household income there was only $34,138, records show.
"Members of Congress think they can get away with it," Mierzwinski said.
It's not readily apparent why Moore would need the extra cash. She hasn't had a real challenger since her first contest in 2004.
But Moore can score points with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and other top Democrats by building a large war chest and using part of it to help out candidates in tough races. She may even be thinking about running soon for a leadership position herself, said several insiders.
Moore collected $823,446 in campaign contributions during the 2011-'12 cycle.
It's easier to see why Wall Street would want to lock arms with Moore, a Democratic legislator from an urban district with a liberal voting record.
Stanley, spokesman for Americans for Financial Reform, said Moore helps give "cover" to the banking and financial firms hoping to blow a hole in Dodd-Frank.
"It's fantastically helpful for them," Stanley said. "They can portray rolling back financial regulations as a bipartisan thing. When they're attacked, they can point their finger at Gwen Moore and say, 'Look, she's supporting it.'"
Air war continues
Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. keeps pumping out the radio ads and billing the taxpayers.
Records show Clarke's office has agreed to purchase $9,400 worth of air time for his radio spot encouraging citizens to surprise their attackers and to be "ruthless" in their response. The records were released in response to an open records request.
Inspector Edward Bailey said the sums will be paid at the end of the month if all the ads run.
The bulk of the ad buy was for four weeks of time on WISN-AM (1130) during late May and June. The county will pay $6,600 for 60 spots on radio shows and 60 spots on streaming audio.
Clarke has filled in for WISN talk show hosts Mark Belling and Jay Weber so far this year.
Clarke's office also agreed to shell out $2,800 for 20 spots in June on the "Dave and Carol" morning show at WKLH-FM (96.5).
Bailey said there were no costs for recording and producing the 30-second commercial.
Overall, his office has spent nearly $19,000 on his public service announcements this year.
Last week, a County Board committee narrowly approved a proposal to prevent county elected officials from airing TV or radio commercials in which they are featured.
Clarke has sharply criticized Supervisor Patricia Jursik for the measure, which he has labeled a gag order. He has accused Jursik and the Journal Sentinel of suffering from "Clarke Derangement Syndrome."
He is up for re-election next year.

Campie (Paperback)
|Author: Barbara Stewart
Learn more about Campie:
|When it all goes south, you can always go north. So the adage goes, and that''s just what Barbara Smith is doing as this story begins. Bankrupt, homeless and driving an aged Toyota Tercel, she is en route to Trinidad 11, an oil-rig camp in the middle of nowhere, where a lowly job as a campie awaits her. Her days are spent scrubbing bathroom walls, changing smelly bedding and burning bags of garbage. At night she finds solace in what she calls her "silent parole": walking in the snow, gazing at the stars and thinking about her past and future. "Campie" is a compelling, entertaining view from the bottom of the oil barrel into work-camp culture. Relevant to anyone who has worked in a resource-industry camp, this book is an anthem to anyone who''s had to survive somehow when the bottom fell out of their world.
From the Publisher:
campie noun 1 a sober, celibate, bankrupt vegetarian who mops floors, cleans toilets, burns garbage, does laundry, makes beds and picks up after rig workers. 2 nickname for the camp attendant in an oil-rig camp. 3 the loneliest person in the oil fields.
When it all goes south, you can always go north
Bankrupt, homeless and with only an old Toyota Tercel to her name, Barbara Stewart has taken a job as a camp attendant at Trinidad 11, an oil-rig camp in the wilderness of northwestern Alberta. She was told it's a "dry" camp?good news for a person hoping to stay sober?but she soon finds out this isn't true. During the day, she mops floors, scrubs bathrooms, changes smelly beds and picks up empties. At night, as she burns garbage in the incinerator, she finds solace alone under the stars and tries to reconcile her past with an uncertain future. When she discovers that a campie who "doesn't play doesn't stay," Barbara is forced to make a decision.
Campie is an entertaining, compelling account of how an ordinary person survives when things fall apart and there's no "eat pray love" holiday to put them back together.

Tribe to hold rally against Redskins
An Indian tribe from upstate New York that's campaigning against the Washington Redskins' nickname said Thursday it will hold a symposium about the issue at the same Washington hotel where the NFL is holding its fall meeting.
Looking for the latest news from around the NFL? Our Insiders got you covered.
The Oneida Indian Nation's symposium is scheduled for Monday, the day NFL owners start arriving for Tuesday's meeting. Tribal leader Ray Halbritter said the meeting's time and place provide a great opportunity to bring more understanding about the issue of why the Redskins name is considered offensive by many people.
He said NFL officials would be invited to attend.
''When one of the most valuable franchises in the NFL is using a racial epithet, how do you explain that to children?'' Halbritter asked. ''How do you explain how it makes you feel as a human being?''
There was no immediate comment from the NFL.
The Oneidas, who run a large casino resort in Verona in central New York, are pushing for a name change as the Washington Redskins face fresh waves of criticism over their nickname. The tribe this season launched a radio ad campaign in the Washington market and in cities that have hosted the team, pressing the franchise to change its name.
NEED SOME? GET SOMEFeed your NFL addiction! Come feast on all the news in our updating blog.
Redskins owner Dan Snyder has vowed to never change the name.
Halbritter, who said he was a fan of the team when he was an ironworker in Washington, said the issue is important to Indians in New York and elsewhere because the name is degrading and has devastating effects. Before they focused on the NFL, the Oneidas earlier this year gave $10,000 toward new jerseys to the high school in Cooperstown that changed its nickname from the Redskins to the Hawkeyes.
The president of Cooperstown's board of education, David Borgstrom, is scheduled to attend the symposium with two students who helped lead the change. Borgstrom said he hoped his ''small effort'' on Monday helps the Oneidas in their ongoing campaign.
''We cannot allow the use of these cruel, injurious, hateful stereotypes to be continued to be used,'' said U.S. Rep. Betty McCollum of Minnesota, who plans to speak to the meeting either in person or from her home district, depending on Congress' schedule.
Halbritter said symposium speakers also will include a psychological expert on the effects of discrimination on children and the director of the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian.
''We are not going to go away,'' Halbritter said. ''This is not going to stop until the name is changed.''

Australian envoy to PNG summoned to explain spy scam
From POST COURIER/PACNEWS
Tue 26 Nov 2013
- Topics
- Papua New Guinea
PORT MORESBY, PNG --- The Australian High Commissioner to Papua New Guinea will be summoned to explain the spy scandal that has rocked relations between Australia and other countres in the region.
Prime Minister Peter O'Neill told Parliament on Friday that he had instructed Foreign Minister Rimbink Pato to summon the Australian High Commissioner to explain the scandal, seek further clarification on the matter and also to explain PNG's position on the Manus asylum deal and visa issues.
"It is a well known fact now that Australians have been involved in some intelligence collection work around the region, particularly Indonesia and also some work seem to be taking place in our own country,'' said O'Neill.
"As I have stated publicly , friends do not do that to their friends and that the Australians respect our sovereignty, respect the rights of individuals especially tapping of phones without proper legal clearance to do so is illegal and we expect our friends to respect our laws."
The Prime Minister said he had advised the Foreign Minister to bring all these issues up at next month's Ministerial Forum in Canberra that there was a firm agreement between the two countries that there be no intelligence gathering.
"I have always stated that if anybody wants to participate in our conversations all they have to do is ask. They don't need to come in uninvited so that will be one of the issues that will be on the Ministerial Forum,'' he said.
"Why I want him to do that is because I also want to give the Australians the leg up so they understand the issues that are more important to us before we go to that meeting in December. I don't want that meeting to be another meeting that we say and do things for one year and then come back and meet again, so I want it to be meaningful, results must come out of it and that is why the Minister is now doing the ground work."
On the issue of the National Intelligence Organsation, Mr O'Neill said NIO had been run down for some time and the government had recently appointed former police commissioner Gari Baki to take charge of the organisation.
"We also have got some intelligence friends from Israel who have come in and done a gap analysis on NIO, so we are now working closely with the Israelis to beef up our intelligence gathering activities so that our country can be informed on a timely manner in terms of our security and intelligence issues."
He said this when responding to questions from Manus MP Ronny Knight over the spy scandal that had now strained relations between Indonesia and Australia.

NEW ORLEANS The Hornets signed point guard Donald Sloan to a 10-day contract, a move coach Monty Williams called 'cover' for the position.
Sloan, who played for New Orleans in several games during the 2011-12 season, has been with the Sioux Falls Skyforce of the NBA Developmental League, where he averaged 22 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists in two games.
'(We're) playing Greivis (Vasquez) a lot of minutes, sometimes the whole second half,' Williams said. 'That's not something we want to do all year so we're going to take a look at a few guys and see if anybody sticks.'
Vasquez leads the Hornets in minutes played this season by nearly a full game. That has helped him average 14 points and compile 297 assists this season, third-most in the NBA.
By bringing in Sloan, he hopes to cut down on Vasquez's 34.4 minutes per game.
'He was here with us last year so he has an idea what to expect,' Williams said. 'He's a tough kid. What I liked about him last year was his ability to defend and attack the basket. He wasn't afraid of any moment.'

Art Nouveau SCF
- Designer: Anton Scholtz
- Source: Scholtz Fonts
The Art Nouveau styles of the the turn of the 20th century (1890 - 1905) exhibited a bold approach to organic lines and lavish decoration. This new style was spread throughout the world and helped usher in a new era that led to modern art and design. Art Nouveau SCF is strongly influenced by the style of decoration and typography created by Rennie Mackintosh as well as the Art Nouveau movement in general (with particular reference to Gustave Klimt and Alphonse Mucha). However, it differs from much of the art nouveau typography in that it largely avoids the use of straight lines in its letter forms. It is a decorative, romantic font and its subtly curved bolder lines contrast with delicate tracery to create an intricate pattern of organic flowing shapes.Use Art Nouveau SCF for: posters, wedding invitations, advertising material for clothing and beauty products, Music CD covers and advertising media, Film advertising media, jewellery design media

An Artistic Endeavour
Hello! One of the latest noobs here. I've been looking around at some of the threads and I'm amazed at all of the helpful feedback. Although I'm young at 14, I'm aspiring to have some sort of career that involves art, so I might as well try to develop my abilities now. I've just been drawing whatever, but maybe I can start broadening my horizons.
Here's some of the art that I have on hand...
Drawn in charcoals, they're a lot of fun to use!
I was doodling in school, some classes are a bit slower than others.
Wip of a creature, it's only a small part of the image though.
I also work in PS, this isn't very recent though...
I tried to create a color scheme with 'royal' colors.
Well, that's about it for now. Thanks for looking, and comments and critique are always welcome and appreciated!

Hey, nice creatures! You seem to be fond of dragons, that's good. Dragons are awesome
It's too early to crit, show some more work! I find it easiest to give feedack once I've seen a person post work frequently as it's easier that way to see what approach that person has to art and studying. That, in turn, is critable.. makes sense? anyway, hope you'll like it here.
When I started out 2-3 years ago it was a bit scary at first but people are really kind and helpful

When I post new art I'll start actually attaching the images. Hopefully.
This one is from quite a few months ago, but I still kinda like it. Even if it is weird xD
I abused the burn tool. And attempted a reflection in the eye.....eh.

I need to do some more study type work. :/

I like how imaginative your work is. Only thing I can suggest is keep studying anatomy, because some of your creatures look a bit...smoothed over, like they need some more muscles/bones. I don't know, whatever, keep posting!

Thanks ohucthulhu! Yes, I believe you're right. I've been needing to do a few studies for a while now, but procrastination and lazyness tends to stick around instead. Thanks for the tip!
February 19th, 2011 #14
Ok, I tried to do an anatomy study, this is of the torso. It's not beautiful, but it really taught me a lot in a short time. I also sketched a few bird wings and one that had a neck with curves that intrigued me. I didn't spend much time on them, and it shows.
And I threw in a sketch of a wolf I'm working on for her friend as a late birthday present.
Critique is welcome!
February 23rd, 2011 #15
Nice imagination work.
I'd suggest more figure studies and value studies from photos or from life (still lifes)

Thank you for the suggestions!
I think that is a swell idea, perhaps I can do some of those studies soon.
In the meantime, here are a few sketches that I've done. Some are more recent than others.
Right now I'm too lazy to attach them. ._.
Some are really bad, I know.

I like the scorpion(?) creature in your latest post. It reminds me of No face from spirited away.
Some are really bad, I know.

I'm not sure what it is either Rhubix, haha. Thanks! I've never seen that movie but I've heard stuff about it and it sounds interesting. Hmm, it does look like No Face. I just wanted to slap a smileyish face on something rather creepy though, haha.
I guess you're right. c: Thanks, maybe now I won't turn into an emo hermit, lol.
Thank you very much Aquaticdog! Perhaps I'll do some tonight, I do need to practice humans in general. They're not very pretty, haha. Figure studies will help me to work out some of those kinks.
And since I have this, I'll go ahead and post it.
Watercolors are a lot of fun to work with.

'No Other Woman' gets an 'A' grade
Ruel Bayani's adult drama "No Other Woman," featuring Anne Curtis, Cristine Reyes and Derek Ramsay, was given a grade of "A" by the Cinema Evaluation Board (CEB) for its actors' ability to portray their roles "with intense conviction and truth, with enough emotional pull to draw the audience deep into the story."
CEB chairperson Christine Dayrit, citing a reviewer, said Anne was "at her most improved performance. She is commendable for taking the risk of playing the role of the other woman, contradictory to her sweet image."
Reyes' portrayal of the perfect wife was "au naturel." Ramsay was "a revelation, showing versatility in his acting prowess, believable in his sincerity for atonement. In his desire to make amends with his wife, the audience empathizes with him."
The film tells the story of Ram Escaler (Ramsay), a furniture salesman eager to succeed on his own. He resents living in a house that was a wedding gift by the father of his wife, Charmaine dela Costa (Reyes).
While supplying furniture for the Zalderiaga Group of Companies for its new resort, he meets the carefree and adventurous heiress Kara Zalderiaga (Curtis). She flirts with Ram and proposes a relationship with no "emotional attachment." Things take a difficult turn when Kara becomes too clingy and Charmaine discovers the affair.
'Natural, beautiful, real'
"The three leads were remarkable," commented another CEB member. Curtis and Reyes looked "very natural." One reviewer explained: "When Anne is not in her corporate attire, we get to see her real beauty – freckles and all. We likewise get to see Cristine as a housewife devoid of makeup. They both come out more beautiful and more real."
The film, a coproduction of Star Cinema and Viva Films, was able to present a "credible depiction of a worn-out topic," said another reviewer.
Bayani "displays an almost flawless grasp of technique and mastery of the medium," a CEB member noted. His movie was "well-paced and sensitively directed." He was "an expert in his craft and in motivating his actors to the best of their ability," said another.
The movie turned out to be a masterpiece since "the storytelling is done with sincerity and proclivity for perfecting his [Bayani] craft." Its script, by Kriz Gazmen, Jay Fernando and Keiko Aquino, was "riveting. [It is] well-sewn, unique, evocative and engaging."
Some reviewers took note of the film's "beautiful" as well as "emotionally resonant" cinematography. "It complemented the moods established in the film against the picturesque panorama of the mise en scène. It was exhilarating to watch the beautiful people on screen. There are awesome shots, especially those that show the panoramic vistas of the resort."
The editing was "crisp and competent," observed one reviewer. However, most of them agreed that the movie was "over-scored." One member clarified: "Some scenes needed quiet music tracks. Sometimes, the actors are delivering important lines and there is a song blaring in the background."
The film, showing in theaters nationwide, also stars Carmi Martin, Tirso Cruz III, John Arcilla, Ron Morales and Kitkat.

Tears tell men women aren't interested tonight
January 10, 2011
It is well-documented that our bodies give off coded chemical signals via sweat, excretions and pheromones that convey messages to other members of our species. Yet the significance of odorless human tears has continued to draw a blank since Charles Darwin first suggested that emotional displays were originally motivated by functional purposes. One hundred and fifty years later, new research from scientists at the Weizmann Institute's Neurobiology Department suggests that in fact, tears may be a chemo-signal, as a chemical in women's tears seems to discourage sexual arousal in men.
The results were obtained through a series of probing experiments; the first sought to ascertain whether men could differentiate between the smell of saline and the smell of tears from women who had been watching sad movies, which they were unable to do. Next, male volunteers sniffed a pad soaked either in tears or in control saline solution, whilst judging the expression of women on a series of computer images. The experiment was repeated the following day, with either the tears or the control, and the tests were double-blinded, meaning neither the volunteers nor the researchers knew what was on the pads. Sniffing the tears did not affect the men's ability to assess sadness or empathy, but unexpectedly the results showed a significant lowering of sexual attraction attributed to women's faces after sniffing tears.
Intrigued by the results, researchers pursued the experiment by surveying male volunteers watching emotional movies after sniffing tears or saline. Self-ratings throughout the films showed again that emotional response and empathy was not affected by sniffing tears, but again that sexual arousal was lower. This response was backed up physiologically with a significant drop in testosterone, a hormone related to sexual arousal. This experiment was repeated using a Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) machine, allowing researchers to measure brain activity. This also showed that activity in areas of the brain associated with sexual arousal was reduced.
"This study raises many interesting questions," said Professor Noam Sobel. "What is the chemical involved? Do different kinds of emotional situations send different tear-encoded signals? Are women's tears different from, say, men's tears? Children's tears? This study reinforces the idea that human chemical signals – even ones we're not conscious of – affect the behavior of others."
As rodent tears are also known to contain such chemical signals, Sobel added, "The uniquely human behavior of emotional tearing may not be so uniquely human after all."
The study by Shani Gelstein, Yaara Yeshurun, Liron Rozenkrantz, Sagit Shushan, Idan Frumin, Yehudah Roth at the lab of Professor Noam Sobel was published online in Science Express, and publicized via The Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel.
How does this research explain the classic \"sympathy shag\" or the \"making up after a big fight\" - both of which usually involve a huge amount of tears?DaddyHoggy
Not true... I have had several hot and heavy encounters after a woman has teared up. A woman after a good cry, if the man handles it properly, is more emotionally refreshed and has stronger feelings of intimacy having shared her emotions so openly. And, if the man is in tune with his woman he will feel her deeper feelings. It is quite common that after a girl cries with her man that she thanks him and kisses him for being there for her. If he truly is. And, once she kisses him the sparks are ignited. This has happened several times. The scientists doing this study obviously have little experience with the opposite sex. This is the kind of study that tells more about the scientist than it does about the subject. Oops.William Tewelow
What about make-up sex?corylylechase
I would question these findings. I agree with the previous three posters. Tears are often a powerful way for a woman to get a man to pay closer attention to her, which brings intimacy and often, sex.
It is relatively demonstrable, in fact, that tears may have exactly the opposite effect than that represented in this article.Dave Andrews
Or maybe the woman is quite fearful of her spouse due to earlier experiences and the post-fight intercourse is an attempt to avoid some kind of retaliation. Statisticaly the home is the most dangerous place to be for a woman and it is seldom the children that she has to be afraid of. So. Maybe she just wants a hug and a kiss and to hear you say that you still love her even though there was a fight a while ago. Unfortunately for some men hugs&kisses = foreplay and when that train has left the station there will only be more tears if you try to stop it.Conny Söre
Seems like a.no brainer regarding makup sex. Often a good way to get a woman seems to be ignoring her. Tears create rejection and the woman then becomes overly interested.Joseph Shawa

Excession had me from the start. This is proper literature which, as such, leaves Arthur C Clarke and E E "Doc" Smith for dead. The ideas in it are out of Clarke's league, too. There's something cinematic about the narrative, cutting and diving between figures and dialogues (the communications between the ships are especially fascinating) as Banks unravels, surely and deliberately, the plot. It's challenging - not a word in the 451 pages is wasted, and you can not afford to casually flick through a couple of pages. Fortunately, you never feel the need to. Readers of his straight fiction will know Banks' particular gift for story telling: it is put to even better use here. After fifty pages you know you're in the hands of a master - a fine, wicked, playful master at that.
Banks' only concession to the genre is to give his humanoid characters silly names, such as Dajeil Gelian and (& I'm not kidding) Sikleyr-Najasa Croepice Ince Stahl da Mapin. Knowing Banks' style, however, this is probably some sort of in-joke that I don't get, so the laugh's most likely on me for missing it. His spaceships, which are delightfully sentient, all get terrific names, on the other hand, such as The Problem Child and Fate Amenable to Change. Cool. Great book - ideal holiday reading; excellent for a 15 hour ferry trips from Bari to Igoumenitsa.

Good morning.Today I got up "early" to say goodbye to my father in law who stayed over from yesterday. Have a late shift today,but decided I should rather do some more baking for Christmas, so did not go back to bed.My sotd is Chergui.Have a nice day everybody

Oh that sounds like a nice thing to do. I've never baked with a friend, only with my Mum when I was little and now my daughter, and it's huge fun. It would be even better with plenty of gossip and good coffee!
I'm in Coup de Fouet again (Ktscchhh!) as today is finally the big day when we're leaving for Christmas at home in Wales. Lots of scurrying about carrying things down to the car and making paat-kos (apologies for spelling) but we're certainly all packed and ready to go. Can't wait to get home and see everyone.
Have a lovely day all.

I've been sampling for the last few hours but not very happily. Nothing impressed me - Sublime, Santal de Mysore, Jardin sur de Nil, Chene - so I'm ending the night in L'air Desert Marocain to put the world to rights.
Pink Sugar with Obsession (seems like this one from Tinker's miniature is an especially well-blended batch, or am I imagining?) for a quiet night in (I hope!).

Hi all--
I have been a lurking for a year or so and finally joined when the fragrance reviews were no longer visible to the public. I rely on those things!!
I have been feeling very nostalgic lately and am wearing Aramis New West, of all things! Recently I ordered two Colors de Benetton Original (I am convinced the newer green bottle does not have the same recipe!), also. I think I am missing my younger years or something.
This morning, I put on Burberry for my coffee; this afternoon and evening it eas New West to help with chores and laundry.
My Lampere fragrance lamp is wafting an oceanic scent.

Out for the evening in Tea for Two from a swap (Thanks Colin!). Spice and tea are working for me lately. Oddly to me, Tea for Two seems to alternate. Sometimes I get Lapsang Souchong and sometimes Chai.

nativism, in anthropology, social movement that proclaims the return to power of the natives of a colonized area and the resurgence of native culture, along with the decline of the colonizers. The term has also been used to refer to a widespread attitude in a society of a rejection of alien persons or culture. Nativism occurs within almost all areas of nonindustrial culture known to anthropologists. One of the earliest careful studies of nativism was that of James Mooney (1896), who studied the Ghost Dance among Native Americans of the W United States. In 1943, Ralph Linton published a brief paper on nativistic movements that served to establish the phenomenon as a special topic in anthropological studies of culture change.

Good Dryer for the price
By mmodesitt
from Philadelphia, PA
Comments about GE 7.0 Cu. Ft. Gas Dryer - White:
After moving to a new place with a dyer with a gas hookup, I decided on this one to go with my existing GE Washing Machine. This fit on top of my machine and does a great job drying clothes quickly and efficiently.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Gets the job done
By zrbttmeister
from Tigard, OR, United States
Purchased just after we bought our first house, our research had shown this model to be an excellent balance between price and performance/features. Demand for gas dryers is low in our region (due to relative gas/electric prices), but this dryer has worked out well for us so far.
excellent as usual

DOSING: Sargramostim is administered intravenously or subcutaneously (under the skin). Sargramostim vials should not be shaken since the drug may be damaged, and bubbles may form that can prevent some of the drug from being drawn up into the syringe at the time of injection. Doses and duration of treatment vary depending on which condition it is used for. 250 mcg/m2/day given by intravenous injection is a typical adult dose for most uses.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: No clinical studies have been done to determine if sargramostim interacts with other drugs.
PREGNANCY: There are no studies of the use of sargramostim in pregnant women.
NURSING MOTHERS: There are no studies to determine if sargramostim is excreted into breast milk.
SIDE EFFECTS: The most common side effects while taking sargramostim are stomach pain, mild to moderate fever, weakness, chills, headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, muscle and bone pain. Shortness of breath, weight loss, leg and arm swelling, and injection site reactions also occur. Sargramostim may cause serious allergic reactions and abnormal heart beats.

Re: Sunday Service Picks and Consensus Reports:
Larry Ness' 20* NFL Total of the Month (12-4 or 75% ATS the last four seasons!)
My 20* is on Car/Atl Over at 4:15 ET. We are getting some great value in this over/under number, as Atlanta has opened the '07 season with just 10 points! Bobby Petrino was brought in from Louisville to "spice up the offense" but of course Mike Vick's off-field problems left the Atlanta offense with Joey Harrington at the controls. Harrington has been DREADFUL in the first two weeks with a QB rating of 74.1. He's been sacked 13 times and Petrino has been very critical of his "holding onto the ball too long." I mention this because I believe we will see a much different Harrington on Sunday. This is Atlanta's first home game and you may remember Atlanta's first home game in the preseason (Monday nighter vs the Bengals), in which an animated Harrington had two first-half TD passes. I believe Harrington will "look to force things" in this game, with both GOOD and BAD consequences. Carolina's 2ndy has yet to make an interception (70 attempts) plus has just one sack, so Harrington could do well. If not, he'll lengthen the game with incompletions plus remember, both of his INTs this year have been returned for TDs. Atlanta's once proud rushing attack has been held in check by two excellent run defenses (Minnesota and Jacksonville) the first two weeks but Carolina's D is no longer top-flight. Carolina's Delhomme has completed 66.2% through two games with six TDs and only one INT (QB rating of 112.2) and Atlanta's 2ndy allowed David Garrard to pass for 272 yards LW. Atlanta once had a fierce pass rush but most of those key players have either left or are injured. Carolina is 1-1 but plays three straight division games (Bucs and Saints follow), with a chance to take control of what figures to be a weak NFC South. Carolina will not hold back. The team's running game is not longer a major threat, so that leaves it up to the passing game. Steve Smith already has 15 catches and four TDs. With a weakened pass rush and a questionable 2ndy, the Falcons will have trouble slowing down the Panthers. This game figures to top 50 points. NFL Total of the Month 20* Car/Atl Over.
Good Luck...Larry

Game: Minnesota Vikings at Kansas City Chiefs
Sep 23 2007 1:00PM
Prediction: Kansas City Chiefs
Reason: Both teams really looked bad last week. Minnesota's QB, Jackson, was horrible in week 2 and he's dinged up. The Vikings are 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 games. Minnesota is 7-15 ATS in their last 22 games played on grass. In their last 7 games facing a team with a losing record they are 2-5 ATS. The Chiefs are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 home games. In their last 11 home games as a favorite they are 8-3 ATS. KC is 3-0 SU and ATS the last 3 times the team's have played in Kansas. Play on the Chiefs.

Ny Jets -3
The New York Jets are the much better 0-2 team here. The Jets lost to the Patriots and at Baltimore. Most experts including us had the Jets starting the season 0-2. Miami on the other hand is a terrible team and don't try and find a reason why they can win this game. They can't. The Dolphins offensive line is terrible which does not make it easier for a running back or backs by committee who are not that good either. This is not science here. When you look at the Miami wide receivers do they scare you? You have Trent Green running for his life behind a terrible line with no running game and not many wide receivers getting opened. This is a must win game for the Jets. If they lose this game it will be time for panic. Either quarterback will get the start but most likely Pennington will play. The Jets will be able to run on the Dolphins and Miami's secondary is not covering anyone. In the first two games the Dolphins corners are getting beat and beat bad. The Jets are better in every phase of the game, a better offense, defense and special teams. Add in that Mangini has learned from the best coach in the business and word is the Jets are a very relaxed and confident bunch this week. Miami is 2-10 ATS against the division and the Jets absolutely own the Miami Dolphins winning 21 of 20 overall and 11 of the last 15. Jets have covered 10 of 13 vs Miami and have won the last 4.

Game: San Francisco 49ers at Pittsburgh Steelers
Sep 23 2007 1:00PM
Prediction: Pittsburgh Steelers
Reason: Play on the Steelers at 1:00 ET. Mike Tomlin goes for a 3-0 start to open his first season as head coach of the Steelers (matching Bill Cowher's start). Pittsburgh hosts the 49ers, maybe the worst (and surely the luckiest) 2-0 team of '07. The 49ers are last in total offense through two games (190.0 ypg) and QB Alex Smith has averaged just 126 ypg through the air, without a TD pass in 48 attempts. Frank Gore, who led the NFC in rushing LY, has averaged just 68.0 ypg and only 3.6 ypc. The 49ers won in Week 1 on a FG with 22 seconds remaining and last week survived 17-16, when the Rams missed a FG with under one minute left. The Steelers are 2-0 after back-to-back blowout wins. Pittsburgh opened with a 34-7 win at Cleveland and then beat Buffalo at home, 26-3. Big Ben looks healthy (5 TDs and one INT / QB rating of 101.7), while RB Willie Parker has topped 100 yards in each game (235 YR / 4.7 ypc). Pittsburgh's D has allowed just 10 points in two games (best in the NFL) and ranks 3rd in ypg allowed (222.0). Lay the points with the Steelers.
Re: Sunday Service Picks and Consensus Reports:
Bobby Maxwell:
Colorado has taken the first two games, 2-1 Friday and 6-2 Saturday to pull themselves to 2 1/2 games out of the NL wildcard. The Rockies have won seven straight and have lefty Jeff Francis (16-8, 4.25 ERA) on the hill for this one.
Francis has been a lock in day games, going 7-0 with a 2.52 ERA under the sun this season. Last time he saw the Padres was Sept. 8 when he gave up two runs on four hits in eight innings.
San Diego is struggling with the offense again, getting just three runs in its last 23 innings. Greg Maddux (13-10, 3.95) goes for the Padres and he just gave up three runs on seven hits in five innings to the Pirates on Tuesday.
The Rockies are doing everything right and getting wins. Play Colorado in this one.
Going to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City today for a FREE play on the Chiefs as they host the Vikings in this matchup of struggling offenses today.
Minnesota's offense was struggling with starter Tavaris Jackson in the lineup at QB and now will go with Kelly Holcomb under center in this one. The Vikings lost at Detroit last week, falling 20-17 in OT as three-point underdogs.
Kansas City covered as 12-point road underdogs in Chicago, falling 20-10 at Soldier Field. QB Damon Huard threw for 175 yards and a TD and was only intercepted once by the Bears' defense. RB Larry Johnson has struggled for the Chiefs so far, running for just 98 yards on 25 carries.
But look for big things from Johnson and a well-managed game from Huard in this one. It won't be high scoring but he won't make mistakes to cost the Chiefs the win or cover.
Minnesota is just 3-8-1 ATS in its last 12 games, 1-8-1 ATS as a road underdog of three points or less and just 7-10 ATS in its last 17 road contests.
Kansas City enjoys playing in front of the home crowd, going 11-3 ATS in its last 14 and 9-2 ATS in its last 11 Week 3 games.
It's not going to be pretty, but the Chiefs will get a 10-point win today.

San Diego Chargers v/s Green Bay Packers 9/23/2007 1:00:00 pm
San Diego Chargers (-) @ Green Bay @ 1:00 ET - So far this season the Packers have snuck by an Eagles team and erupted past a Giants team. This has Green Bay sitting at 2-0 on the season but it also has masked some of their own deficiencies. That's because the Eagles and Giants are a combined 0-4 on the season. When you consider that then the Green Bay 2-0 start is much less impressive. The Giants stunk it up late in last week's game against the Pack as the final score ended up being a little deceiving. As for the Packers week 1 win over the Eagles, muffed punts and another turnover led to 13 Green Bay points. The Pack offense actually produced just one significant drive against Philly and that netted just 3 points. San Diego is in a bit of a tough scheduling spot here. After a home game in Week 1 they had to travel all the way to New England for Game 2. In addition to the wear and tear of facing the Bears and Pats the Chargers also have dealt with travel issues as they now head to the upper Midwest for this game. The fact that Norv Turner does not have a history of performing well as a head man at the NFL level is also a little concerning. However, the key here is that the Chargers off of a loss and are facing a Packers team who is off of back to back wins against struggling teams. The angry (and more talented) Chargers will be ready to bring their "A game" this week. With the Packers finally taking a big step up in class they are set for a fall this week. The couple of concerns noted above as well as the big line move upward this week ended up scratching this from our list as a star rated play for our service. However, this is still our strongest game that's not a star rated play and that's why it gets the call as our Free Pick for Sunday. Look for the Chargers to roll here and win this one by at least a TD at Lambeau Field.
Play San Diego minus the points
Re: Sunday Service Picks and Consensus Reports:
Karl Garrett
I know that San Diego is in a difficult scheduling spot, as they played - if you want to call it that - last Sunday night at New England, and now must hit the road again against the 2-0 Green Bay Packers.
I am sorry, but I am just not buying this Green Bay resurgence, as I have a feeling the Chargers are going to paste them today in front of the home faithful at Lambeau.
LaDainian Tomlinson is way overdue for a break out game, and today looks like that day, as LT has been bottled up by 2 of the better defenses in the league in Chicago and New England.
The Chargers have been one of the better teams in the NFL at bouncing back after a straight up loss, as the Bolts are 9-1-2 against the line their last 12 after suffering a straight up loss.
Green Bay is a dismal 7-18-2 against the spread at Lambeau Field their last 27 games, and the G-Man is calling for their fradulent 2-0 start to come crashing down on them.
Take San Diego minus the number on the road today.
Re: Sunday Service Picks and Consensus Reports:
Sports Gambling Hotline
We are not sure why the linemakers continue to make the Eagles such big chalk, but we will glady take advantage of this bad number and take the undefeated Lions to come through plus the points in the City of Brotherly Love this Sunday afternoon.
Philly is off to an 0-2 straight up and against the spread start, and they are coming off that Monday night debacle in which they were unable to find the end zone. With Westbrook ailing, the Birds offense will continue to struggle, and even if they are able to put up a few touchdowns, it is doubtful it will be enough to pull away from a Detroit team that has some offensive pop.
The Lions are on a 3-1 spread run their last 4 road games, winning outright Week 1 at Oakland, while the Eagles are only 7-13-1 spread-wise their last 21 when favored.
Until Donavan McNabb shows us something, we will go against him and his mates, especially when laying points.
Play on the Lions.
Re: Sunday Service Picks and Consensus Reports:
Detroit @ Philadelphia on Sunday, September 23rd
Detroit (2-0) opening the season with a 36-21 win at the Raiders and a 20-17 overtime victory over the Vikings to remain perfect heading into Week 3 isn't a huge surprise, considering the caliber of offense talent this squad has amassed, but if they are to make a run at a playoff spot this season, the Lions' defense - strong so far - must continue to improve to handle the better competition to come. As the former Defensive Coordinator at Tampa Bay, Head Coach Rod Marinelli brings a strong defensive background and is joined by Defensive Coordinator Joe Barry who is known in NFL circles for his unmatched preparation and energy. Defensive captain 6'4" 295 DT Cory Redding (7 T) seems reenergized in Barry's system that stresses proper positioning and discipline to assignments over freelancing. So far Redding's teammates are playing with greater trust for each other than this franchise has seen years with 6'2" 235 MLB Paris Lennon (22 T), 6'0" 225 WLB Ernie Sims (17 T), 5'11" 184 LCB Fernando Bryant (15 T), and free agency pick up 6'2" 273 LDE DeWayne White (10 T, S, INT) off to great starts. Remarkably the Lions have piled up 5 sacks, 6 interceptions, and 2 forced fumbles while holding opponents to a respectable 107.5 rushing and 236.5 yards per game. Offensive Coordinator Mike Martz certainly has been given all the tools to recreate his "Greatest Show on Turf" and is off to an electrifying start, racking up an NFL-best 321.5 yards per game through the air so far. 11-year QB John Kitna (49 of 69 for 534, 4 TD, 3 INT) again showed his toughness last week, returning to lead his team to an overtime win after missing 2 quarters to a suspected concussion. Kitna has never been one to take the safe route and is a perfect fit for a unit that will challenge defenses downfield all season. 42 of Detroit's 62 pass completions have been to the wide receivers Shaun McDonald (13 for 161 and TD), Roy Williams (11 for 131 and 2 TD), Mike Furrey (10 for 112), and rookie Calvin Johnson (8 for 131 and 2 TD) for an average of 12.8 yards per grab. At some point the Lions are going to have to run the ball if they are to beat quality teams but haven't show the inclination yet to do so. Running backs have carried the rock just 32 times through two games with 5'11" 214 RB Tatum Bell (24 for 101 yards and TD) what passes for a workhorse in the Motor City.
Philadelphia (0-2) has struggled offensively in a pair of heartbreakers to open the season, dropping a 13-16 game to the Packers and a 12-20 loss to the Redskins Monday night. 9th-year QB Donovan McNabb (43 of 79 for 424, TD, INT) is coming off a serious knee injury he suffered just 10 months ago and appears a little rusty and could use help in the forms of play selection and receiver toughness to get back on track. Both the Packers and the Redskins pushed around starters 5'11" 186 WR Kevin Curtis (6 for 81) and 6'1" 197 WR Reggie Brown (3 for 21) at the line of scrimmage, disrupting the timing of Philadelphia's passing game, while the more physical backup WR 6'0" 212 Jason Avant (8 for 109 and TD) has been McNabb's most productive target. The Eagles' offense would also benefit from a better run/pass ratio to soften up defenses that have teed off for 4 sacks so far. Philadelphia's O-Line is big and aggressive at 6'5 ½" and 330 pound per man and have been strong when given the opportunity to open holes for dual-threat RB Brain Westbrook (37 for 181 rushing, 12 for 112 receiving) but a play-calling ratio of 89 called passing plays to just 49 called rushing plays has left this formidable crew on the defensive in pass protection. Last season when Philadelphia found itself out of balance offensively and struggling, Head Coach Andy Reid handed over the play-calling duties to Offensive Coordinator Marty Mornhiweg and the results were immediate in both run/pass balance and on the scoreboard. Defensively, the Eagles have been rock solid allowing 176 yards and a TD on the ground along with 376 yards and a TD versus a pair of picks through the air in their first two contests. Philadelphia's defensive line is as deep as they come with players the caliber of Juqua Thomas, Kimo von Oelhoffen, Montae Reagor, and Darren Howard not even cracking the starting lineup of their 8-man rotation. 6'1" 235 MLB Omar Gaither (13 T) gets help against the rushing game this season with the addition of 6'2" 263 SLB Chris Gocong (4 T) and 6'2" 242 WLB Takeo Spikes (14 T) adding a physical presence this unit lacked in 2006 while the Eagle defensive backfield will again likely be the best in the league. Overall, Philadelphia's problems (other than a local media that thinks the NFL's active leading quarterback in winning percentage should be benched!) can certainly be fixed but numerous injuries may hold up the improvement. TE L.J. Smith (4 for 26) is struggling with a lingering groin strain, CB Brian Dawkins suffered a neck stinger last week, Pro Bowl CB Lito Sheppard is out with an MCL strain, LT William Thomas left the last game with severe back spasms, and RB Brain Westbrook undergoes an MRI on Wednesday to take another look at the knee sprain he sustained in the Redskins game.
OK, so the Lions have a defense, the Eagles have no offense, and entering Week 3 these teams have combined for 2 wins - each belonging to the Lions. If we were wagering in the Bizzaro World that these crews have competed in so far, we would have to take the under. In the Real World, Andy Reid/Marty Mornhiweg and Mike Martz will be calling the plays on Sunday.
Take Philadelphia/Detroit over 44 ½

402 KAN -2.5 (-120) vs 401 MIN
Pick: Chiefs -2.5 hosting Vikings
Analysis: It seems hard to believe nowadays, but the Kansas City Chiefs actually were a playoff team last season.
Now they are a desperate 0-2 hosting the offensively-challenged Minnesota Vikings.
Sounds like a good spot for Kansas City. It's the Chiefs' first home game of the year. They've covered 19 of their past 26 home openers.
The Vikings are a dome team going to an outdoor, grass stadium at perhaps the toughest road venue, Arrowhead Stadium. Not only is the spot bad for Minnesota, but so is the situational aspect. Aside from the Chiefs desperately needing a victory, the Vikings are in a division sandwich off an overtime road loss to the Lions and with a home game looming next week against the Packers.
The Chiefs defense has forced six turnovers. They get back their best pass rusher with Jared Allen returning from suspension and face a rusty career backup quarterback in Kelly Holcomb. He lasted played in a regular-season game in 2005.
The Vikings' run defense still is strong, but it's not dominant like last year ranking sixth. Larry Johnson, behind an offensive line that should be fired-up, is ready to produce numbers in Week 3 after a prolonged holdout.
The Vikings have limited firepower and much of that firepower is ailing. Chester Taylor may miss a second straight week, while wide receiver Troy Williamson and fullback Tony Richardson also are less than 100 percent.

NYJ -3.0 (-115) vs 407 MIA
Going back to last year, Dolphins have lost 7 of their last 9 away from home & have also lost 5 of last 6 in this series. Although both teams come in 0-2 & desperate for wins, I trust the Jets here at home in this situation against a struggling Dolphin offense that has already turned it over 6 times in the first 2 weeks.

Indianapolis Colts v/s Houston Texans 9/23/2007 1:00:00 pm
Houston +6
I am calling for the "Live Dog" in this one on Sunday. Houston has dominated in both games they have played this season. A beat down of the Panthers last week on the road, and they pounded KC into the ground in their opener. They were able to overcome WR Steve Smith of the Panthers last week and win big on the road at Carolina, many people's choice to get to the NFC championship this year. The first 2-0 start in franchise history for the Texans, they are fired up for this one in Houston. Indy is off a VERY tough game they could have easily lost last week at Tennessee, and back to back roadies are always tough no matter who you are. Houston allows 12 ppg and 69 yards rushing as a defense to date, very impressive numbers for a young and talented defense, maybe the best young defense in the NFL in terms of youth that is performing.
The big key is WR Andre Johnson being out for Houston and that they have no chance given to them by many writers and media types. I say higwash, they have enough talent to fill in. Indy has injury issues of their own. 2 OL are out, LB Morris is out this week, and TE Clark is doubtful. I'd say that is as much or more of an issue that Johnson being out with a MCL sprain.
Houston's ability to stop the run and RB Addia will enhance their chances of some man to man coverage and doubles on Harrison, which will make the sledding tough for Indy. I also like Houston's offense ran by ex- Atlanta back-up QB Matt Schaub right now (the Falcons would pay millions to have him back right now!) , and RB Ahman Green, while alittle banged up is playing against a run defense giving up 4.1 yards per carry. Houston has managed a nice 27 ppg average, saw a tough defense last week on the road and moved the chains at will, and Gary Kubiak has got this team on the same page and playing well.
I am calling for an outright win here, but a cover should be in order here in what many think is a push over game for the Colts. I can assure you, if overlooked by anyone, Houston can do some damage.
Play the Underdog in this one on Sunday
Re: Sunday Service Picks and Consensus Reports:
Peyton Manning against Tom Brady? How about Damon Huard versus Tavaris Jackson in this one! Two very bad offenses matchup here. Minnesota (1-1 SU/1-0-1 ATS) isn't fancy, with young QB play, a talented young runner in Adrian Peterson, and a defense that is awesome against the run but suspect in the secondary. Rookie RB Adrian Peterson (5.4 ypc) had a dazzling debut, rushing for 103 yards and scoring on a 60-yard swing pass, and the defense supplied two touchdowns on interception returns by Kevin Williams and Antoine Winfield in a 24-3 rout of Atlanta. Kansas City (0-2 SU/1-1 ATS) is a mess on offense, off a 20-3 loss at Houston and a loss at Chicago, 20-10. Herm Edwards has no imagination on offense, and it hasn't helped that their two best offensive linemen (Willie Roaf, Will Shields) are gone the last two years, and Edwards shipped out WR Dante Hall and QB Trent Green. The offense had 219 total yards in the opener, 3 points and 4 turnovers in the opener and QB Damon Huard was 22-33 for 168 yards, no TDs, 2 picks, 3 sacks. RB Larry Johnson had 43 yards on 10 carries! On Sunday, Johnson had 55 yards, 3.4 ypc, in the loss at Chicago. After averaging just eight points in four preseason losses, Kansas City's offense got 3 points in the opener. Only one play went longer than 20 yards! This is the home opener for Kansas City, but how long before the fans start booing?

409 San Francisco (2-0) at 410 Pittsburgh (2-0)
NFC vs AFC as two of the Leagues most historic franchises go head to head. The 49ers have beaten AZ and St.Louis. Pitsburgh has mauled Cleveland and Buffalo. Love the way HC Nolan has drilled a winning attitude into the Niner players. The Steelers probably win this game but by just a Field Goal.

Scott Spreitzer's NFL Knockout Beatdown! *42-19, 69% ATS Run!
Denver has been quite possibly, the most fortunate team through the first two weeks of action. They followed a last-second win over Buffalo, with an OT victory over the hapless Raiders. The worst news for Denver is that they can't stop the run. The Broncos are allowing 156 rushing yards per game at 5.1 yards per pop and will now face a Jaguar offense that sports one of the best RB duos in the league. This is the week that the mammoth Jaguar offensive line puts it together for Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew. Once the two RBs get it going, it should be lights-out! The Jaguar play-action offense is obviously predicated by a strong ground attack. Against this defense, I believe the Jaguars will finally bust out. Defensively, the aggressive Jaguar defense should be able to keep Denver's offense in check. Jay Cutler is an up-and-comer, but he doesn't yet possess the ability to make defenses pay downfield on a consistent basis. That will be Denver's offensive undoing in this one. The Broncos may be undefeated, but the Jags are the better team. We'll grab the points with Jacksonville on Sunday. Thanks! GL! Scott
