text: The Yon-Rogg wiki last edited by xkoenig on 07/01/14 08:45AM View full history Brief HistoryCommander of the starship which brought Mar-Vell to earth. He held a hatred for Mar-Vell for being an outstanding Kree warrior, and for the relationship that Mar-Vell shared with Una the Medic.Major Story ArcsAfter a successful mission to investigate the disappearance of Kree General Devros, Yon-Rogg is assigned command of the ship Helion, with Mar-Vell and Una the Medic as part of his crew. Their mission was to infiltrate and study the human race and determine their threat level to the Kree Empire. Sending Mar-Vell down to the surface, Yon-Rogg's jealousy of Mar-Vell's relationship with Una leads him to interfere and attempt to sabotage his progress repeatedly. First he paralyzes Mar-Vell and attaches a wrist monitor to him. Then as Mar-Vell is trying to return to the ship to recharge his breathing potion, Yon-Rogg fires a laser at him and imprisons Una for calling him out on it. When Mar-Vell escapes this threat on his life, Yon-Rogg reactivates the dormant Kree Sentry #459 and sends it to attack him. Mar-Vell defeats the robot, and when Zarek and Ronan the Accuser find out about the incident they reprimand Yon-Rogg for endangering the mission and order him not to do so again. He next refuses to help Mar-Vell as he battles the Super-Skrull, and then tries to prevent him returning to battle after he is first defeated. Further antagonizing Yon-Rogg, Mar-Vell thwarts his plan to divert a human rocket carrying deadly bacteria onto a city, leading Yon-Rogg to have Mar-Vell put on trial for being Un-Kree. After some further struggles between them, Yon-Rogg tries to break up Una and Mar-Vell's relationship by showing her video footage of Carol Danvers passionately kissing Mar-Vell after he rescued her from Cyberex.Psyche MagnitronThe beginning of the end for Yon-Rogg was a mission to get Mar-Vell to ally with a shadowy group called The Organization. When the mission ends badly, with Mar-Vell killing the whole group and destroying their headquarters, Marv is sentenced to death by firing squad. An Aakon attack disrupts the death sentence, and leads to the death of Una. Mar-Vell battles Yon-Rogg, but ends up sent flying through space in a rocket, unable to return for the next two months. Mar-Vell finally returns, to which Rogg responds by sending the Man-Slayer robot after Carol Danvers. Mar-Vell saves her, but is then arrested for treason. Escaping, Mar-Vell is manipulated by Zarek and Ronan via a strange entity they created called Zo into a plot to overthrow the Supreme Intelligence. Mar-Vell thwarts the scheme and is rewarded with a pardon. On his way back to Earth, however, Mar-Vell is trapped in the Negative Zone. On Earth, Rick Jones, a longtime ally of the Avengers, discovers the Nega Bands in a hidden Kree station, and is telepathically convinced to allow Mar-Vell to share existence. When Yon-Rogg shows up looking for the Nega Bands himself, Mar-Vell switches places with Rick and battles Rogg. Yon-Rogg escapes by using a bomb disguised as Carol Danvers, and goes off to kidnap the real Carol, taking her to yet another Kree outpost on Earth. When Mar-Vell shows up, Rogg uses a machine called the Psyche-Magnitron to summon a Mandroid to attack Mar-Vell. Mar-Vell defeats the Mandroid by blasting the Psyche-Magnitron, causing it to overload. Knocking out Yon-Rogg, Mar-Vell rescues Carol and escapes before the Psyche-Magnitron explodes, apparently killing Yon-Rogg.Revenge on Carol DanversYears later, Yon-Rogg resurfaces, seeking revenge on Carol Danvers, who has now become Captain Marvel herself. Yon-Rogg had somehow merged with the Psyche-Magnitron in the explosion and pulled himself back into existence by force of will. Rogg taps into Carol's memories via the piece of the Psyche-Magnitron in her head and sends constructs of enemies from her history to attack her, like dinosaurs, the Brood, Deathbird and the Grapplers. He kidnaps Carol's friend Rose and steals the final piece of the Psyche-Magnitron from Carol's apartment. Rogg then sends constructs of the Brood and an Acanti ship to attack Carol and the Avengers before trying to contact the Kree. The Kree reject his offer of Carol Danvers and the Earth, so he returns to Earth, intent on transforming it into a 'new Hala'. Rogg activates several hidden Kree sentries on Earth, needing 12 to complete his plans. The sentries combine with Rogg's constructs over New York, and when Carol attacks, she unwittingly completes the final part of the scheme. Despite the best efforts of the Avengers, Earth's heroes are unable to stop Rogg's plans. Carol, realizing she must sacrifice herself, flies high into Earth's atmosphere, giving herself a brain hemorrhage and cutting her link to the circuit. Yon-Rogg's plans are defeated and he is made powerless and is captured by Captain America.

The most amazing thing happened this week.
Maybe you missed it.
The Episcopal Church held their General Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana. They gathered. They prayed. They sang. I'm told there were a few sermons, too! And you know they offered the Eucharist. They can't do anything without someone bringing bread, wine, and a blessing. God love 'em.
This week they voted, too. They held up in their bicameral way of doing things and worked out some key issues. Among the issues at hand were whether or not to sell their offices in New York City and to find ways of investing their income in the future of the denomination. They did both. If you followed them on Twitter (Many did. #GC77 trended right up there!), then you know that there was hope and joy in their rooms. This is not why they made the news, of course. They made the news when they voted to formally allow for same-sex blessings within their communion.
A commission had been appointed (of course) that had researched, educated, and collected various liturgies, and, after much wrangling, presented suggested liturgies with all the rubrics and theology to the Body gathered. The decision was overwhelmingly in favor of adopting these liturgies for use where desired. They are "provisional." No one has to use them. But there they are...all official like. The Church is blessing same-sex unions.
Yes, there was opposition. No, the decision was not unanimous. Of course some people are very disappointed. But even those who feel this is the wrong direction for the denomination were for the most part measured and wise in their responses.
I'm proud of The Episcopal Church. I'm proud of how they conducted themselves. I'm proud that they disagreed, deliberated, explored, preached, and prayed their way through this. We Baptists aren't always so gentle, you know. We love hellfire and brimstone. We especially like to aim it at one another. Call it a gift. We're good at it. No, The Episcopal Church is not immune to the temptation either, but they had a good week.
I'm proud of The Episcopal Church for the conclusion at which they arrived as well. As far as I'm concerned in all matters theological, when in doubt err on the side of generosity. When in certainty, do the same. Generosity, humility, full inclusion of all God's Creation...If there's a "come to Jesus" moment one day I'd rather be told I was too generous than too stingy with the love of God.
Jim Somerville [7] recently wrote that "the Baptist Church will never sanction the blessing of same-sex unions." He's right. There is no "Baptist Church." We're all on our own. There's no national body to present a binding anything. We're on our own. We like it that way...but if we weren't I would hope that we would proclaim the Gospel with the same hopeful grace as The Episcopal Church did this week.
That would be Good News.

Fleet Heavy Escort Carrier = Love
My fleet finally unlocked T5 Military last night, so I was able to get the FHEC I've been looking forward to since S6 went live. Let me tell you, this ship is hevkuva bunch of fun to fly. It doesn't seem like much, but the additional 3200 hull, 9% shields and sci console slot (so I can load a blue mk xi field generator) has really improved my survivability in PVP. While the 8 month grind has been frustrating, on this end it does seem worth it now.
Next, bring on T5 Engineering and Elite Carrier pets!
Tier 5 Science is where the Elite Carrier pets are. T5 Engineering is Elite Space Weapons. Congrats on your accomplishment.

To be fair, this is actually good advise in an industry that deals with people. It's one thing to know lots of words, it's another to assume everyone else does. When it comes to business communications, it's smarter to be simpler. This is a problem many bad trial lawyers have. The good ones speak simply, the bad ones speak complicatedly.
By the same token, it's much harder to write with nuance in a way that's accessible to the broader public than it is to simply type everything you know about a topic. For me at least. I know I put more work into a 3,000-word magazine piece for the general public than a 10,000-word peer-reviewed article.

Perfect Save the Date!
We were 110% satisfied with these save the date cards! I looked around for several weeks & was SO happy to come across this design! The quality of our engagement photos was crystal clear & exactly as our preview showed. The graphic designer even changed the colors on the card to match our wedding! It could not have been more perfect for us :)
I never ordered from magnet street before but found the website online and loved their designs! I was worried to order because none of my friends or family used this site so I never saw the final product! But I was VERY surprised and fell in love with this site! I ordered 150 of the save the dates and they came in within 4 days in teal box for great storage! They also sent me a book of example of the types of product they produced. Also my save the dates were beyond amazing! They looked exactly the way I made the on line! The quality was beyond what I expected the colors were exactly what I wanted and the pictures were clear and perfect! As soon as I opened the box I was online looking at what else I could order!!
I'm really glad I used a template and altered it to make it my own. I could not have built a more beautiful save the date with out it! Costomizing every picture, colour and text options made it unique and still professional looking. I was nervous about if my pictures would look picselated or choppy, but they came out beautifully detailed. The option to do a really small post card size has made postage extremely affordable. This was important to us because we sent them around the world. Lastly, the package I recieved from magnet street was carefully put together, with extra sample material and discounts for when I choose to do my invitations

Lil Wayne is having some memory issues in videos of his recent deposition over a failed documentary.
Weezy was acting more like a defendant than the plaintiff as he took the stand in his case against Quincy Jones III.
As a refresher, Weezy is suing Quincy over the documentary Tha Carter, which was to chronicle the production of his Tha Carter III album. While Wayne was cool with letting Quincy's camera crew follow him around at first, things went left when the lyricist slammed the film as a "scandalous portrayal."
During recent court proceedings, Weezy was utterly obstinate to a line of questioning about the film, his criminal history, his career and even his own identity!
In video of his deposition posted to TMZ.com, it looks like Wayne led Quincy's lawyer, Pete Ross, around the courtroom. Weezy, who wore a hoody to court, looked thoroughly uninterested in the legal proceedings as he examined his nails and recalled gigs that no one asked about.
Of course, things got off to a rocky start as Pete asked Weezy to verify that he gave an interview with Katie Couric.
The deposition continued careening downhill as Weezy refused to answer any questions by simply stating that he does not remember.
And things only got worse as Wayne allegedly leveled some smug, thinly veiled threats after disregarding the judge.

HUD Launches Investigations of Discrimination Allegations Against 22 Banks and Mortgage Lenders. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has announced that it is launching multiple investigations into the practices of certain mortgage lenders to determine if their home loan policies illegally deny qualified African American and Latino borrowers access to credit. The investigations are in response to 22 complaints that the National Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC) filed with HUD. The NCRC had previously sent letters to those banks and mortgage lenders (as reported in InfoBytes, November 26, 2010) alleging that the loan activities of those mortgage originators are discriminatory and advising the banks that the NCRC would file complaints with HUD.

IBM Paper with Details of Xbox 360 CPU Design-- Posted by XanTium on December 9 01:18 EST
IBM released a new paper with details about the Xbox 360 CPU they designed for Microsoft:
The Xbox 360 system has a single chip (with 165 million transistors) for its CPU. This chip is in fact a three-way symmetric multiprocessor design. The three PowerPC cores are identical, except that they are physically reflected through the X and Y axis. Each of the CPU cores is a specialized PowerPC chip with a VMX128 extension related to (and partially compatible with) the VMX instructions in the G4 and G5 CPUs. The three CPU cores share a 1MB Level2 cache. Each processor has 32KB each of data and instruction Level1 cache. The chip's front-side bus/physical interface has a 21.6GB/second bandwidth, and runs at 5.4GHz. The high frequency clocks are generated on-chip by four phase-locked loops: two for the core clocks, two for the PHY clock.
The Xbox 360 CPU chip has testing and debug functions, including tracing, configuration control, and performance monitoring features. Access to these functions is through the block in Figure 1 labeled test/debug. The block labeled Miscellaneous IO provides a JTAG port, a POST monitor, and an interface for a serial EEPROM in case patch logic configuration was needed during bring-up.
The last sentence quoted above might give a bit more info as to why some Xbox 360s have the flash EEPROM near the CPU and others not.
Check out more tech details about the CPU on ibm.com.

Chasing the money.
In November, voters in Maine will find an intriguing referendum on their ballots. The Maine Clean Election Act, endorsed by a wide coalition that crosses party lines would, if enacted, force sweeping changes in the state's politics as usual. "We really believe Maine will be the state to break through the glass ceiling on the campaign finance reform issue," says Maine Voters for Clean Elections campaign manager David Donnelly. "We want to put the citizens back in charge of the election process."
The Maine proposal, which has already received the endorsement of seven of the state's eight daily newspapers, is no cosmetic reform. And the political process in Maine - a state where paper company largess often determines a candidate's fate - is richly in need of reform.
The state (where politicians typically spend $4,500 on legislative races) currently allows $5,000 political action committee (PAC) contributions, and $1,000 individual donations. The ballot initiative would limit contributions from beth PACs and individuals to $500 in the governor's race and $250 in the legislative contests. (Although PACs get the bulk of the attention, it's important to include individual contributions, too. In the 1994 congressional races, donations from individuals constituted 60 percent of the funding, and the money often comes from the same corporate people who support the PACs.)
Maine's proposal would also include an optional "clean elections option," providing public financing for candidates who agree to abide by a set of spending limits and a shortened campaign season. (And if a candidate is in danger of being swamped by a non-complying opponent, the law provides matching funds. All the cash comes from legislative and executive branch budget cuts, new lobbyist fees, and a voluntary tickoff on tax forms.)
"This initiative is incredibly popular right now," Donnelly says. "Money has just exploded in politics, and people are disgusted with how the system is run by someone other than them." And nowhere are people more disgusted than in the environmental movement. In the 19911992 election cycle, environmentalists could muster less than $2 million in campaign contributions, but their well-meaning efforts were washed away by $21 million from the energy and natural resources industries.
In California, the U.S. Public Interest Research Group (USPIRG) has been trying to address this financial imbalance. A ballot initiative there would limit individual campaign contributions (which have no limit now) to $100 ($200 for statewide offices). California state assembly races are now 90 percent dependent on contributions that are either out-of-state or over $100.
According to Douglas Phelps, USPIRG's chairperson, "Just ridiculous stuff happens in California, like $125,000 donations to state assembly candidates four days before the election." The ballot initiative would limit out-of-district contributions to 25 perfect of the total.
Campaign finance reform has become a winning issue for USPIRG, which in 1994 was victorious in less-sweeping referendums it ran in Montana, Missouri and Oregon. It lost only in Colorado (and is back there this year). "The most crucial strategic reform we've made is getting the labor movement involved," says Phelps. "In the past, the unions have opposed finance reform, because they thought it would limit their own contributions. But working people can't hope to match the millions pouring in on the other side, and now labor is working with us."
Campaign reform is an issue that unites the traditional progressive coalition with the so-called "populist" groups, including United We Stand America, taxpayer's revolt groups, GATT and NAFTA opponents, term limit advocates and even America Firsters like Pat Buchanan. Such large coalitions would have probably made even more headway if contribution-limit proposals hadn't been caught in the courts, their constitutionality questioned. (The right to spend unlimited amounts of money in election campaigns was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in the 1976 Buckley v. Valeo decision.)
That's one reason why Ellen Miller, executive director of the Washington-based Center for Responsive Politics, supports full public financing of elections. "The $100-limit initiatives don't deal with many of the major financing problems," she says. "They mean that the candidates will spend even more time raising money. And they don't deal with the 'bundling' issue [presenting large numbers of small contributions in a single block]. But more important, every court that has looked at $100 limit laws has found them unconstitutional."
Miller applies a four-point litmus test to campaign reform proposals: 1) Does it enhance competition?; 2) Does it work to eliminate the inherent conflict of interest caused by private financing?; 3) Does it guarantee access to the political system, regardless of whether an individual donates money?; and 4) Does it help to stop the political money chase? "These are the things people really hate about the political system," Miller says. "It's why eight out of 10 people will say that members of Congress 'care more about special interests than about people like me.' In one fell swoop, public financing handles the vast majority of the problems of the current system and doesn't create new ones."
There are a variety of approaches to public financing, but the simplest and probably best system would allocate set amounts of government cash to legitimate primary and general election candidates. Since political support for that radical approach is lacking, most proposals currently before the voters make public financing a voluntary option, with incentives - including cash and free TV time - to comply.
In 1994, 74 percent of Missourians voted for a sweeping election reform package known as Proposition A. But because the ballot initiative limited campaign contributions, it was thrown out by the courts. This year, a wide coalition called the Missouri Alliance for Campaign Reform is pushing a similar measure in the state legislature. According to the Alliance's Ben Senturia, the Missouri citizens' bill offers something very close to full public financing. "Candidates who agree to take no private money in the primary and general election will be fully funded," Senturia says. "For instance, a gubernatorial candidate would get $1 million to wage a primary, and candidates for other statewide offices would get $500,000. State Senate candidates would receive $50,000; candidates for the state House $25,000. Candidates' fundraising costs virtually disappear, and they have more time for talking about issues and engaging the voters."
A major objection to public financing, of course, is that it adds to the tax burden. In Missouri, the money would come from a .6 percent surcharge on the state income tax. But Senturia says the tax bite is a bargain when weighed against the financial burden of not having such reforms. "It's estimated that full federal financing of national elections would only cost $5 per taxpayer per year," he says. "Compare that to the $2,000 to $3,000 all of us are paying because of the savings and loan scandal."
Another approach - a national legislative one - was pursued by the bipartisan team of Senators Russell Feingold (D-Wisconsin), Fred Thompson (R-Tennessee) and John McCain (R-Arizona). The senators, noting that congressional campaigns cost a record $724 million in 1994, proposed to set voluntary spending limits based on states' voting-age populations.
Before the Senate voted, Feingold, was cautiously optimistic, though he admitted that campaign finance reform is a "tough row to hoe." He was right. In late June, Senate Republicans kept the issue from even coming up for a vote. Republicans actually have considerable vested interest in maintaining the status quo. Congressional Democrats took in $11.65 million in PAC money in 1995; the GOP raked in $23 million. The figures for individual contributions are even more unbalanced: Republicans $57 million, Democrats $20 million. In 1992, a Republican president, George Bush, vetoed a comprehensive reform package that had passed both houses of Congress. In 1994, a Republican filibuster killed another bill in the Senate.
Ed Davis, Common Cause's associate director for legislative policy, says 25 years of working on this issue has made the liberal lobbying group somewhat wary of its prospects. "It's always a tough battle to get campaign reform bills passed," Davis says. "It monkeys around with the survival of elected officials. They're comfortable with the system that got them into office."
Environmentalists can be forgiven for wondering why they should spend time on something as dry and off-the-topic as campaign finance reform when them are forests to protect and endangered species to save. But as the 104th Congress has definitively proven, "dirty money" and its influence can undo many years of hard-fought environmental victories. Unless politicians are beholden to the people, not polluter PAC money, the vicious cycle will continue.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — It's all right there for Adrian Peterson now.
One more game in his remarkable comeback season, and the only thing that remains on the line is everything.
A win against the rival Green Bay Packers on Sunday would put his Minnesota Vikings into the playoffs for the first time since the 2009 season. The milestones of 2,000 yards and Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record are there to be had as well, along with a potential MVP award that would cement his standing among the league's great players.
It's such a big game when you look at everything that can be accomplished, Peterson said Wednesday. I'm looking forward to it, man. Most importantly, getting into the playoffs, securing that with a win against Green Bay. Having an opportunity to hit 2,000, having an opportunity to break Eric Dickerson's record in the same game, it would be great to accomplish.
Perhaps the only thing more improbable than the Vikings (9-6) sitting one victory away from a playoff berth is that they have been carried there by Peterson, who tore two ligaments in his left knee just over a year ago. He has already racked up a career-high 1,898 yards rushing this season, leaving him 102 away from becoming the first player to hit 2,000 yards on a reconstructed knee.
His inspiring recovery has galvanized a team that has been teetering on the edge of elimination the last four weeks. Dickerson is on record as saying he hopes Peterson falls a little shy of his 2,105 yards rushing in 1984, but everyone from Jim Brown to Terrell Davis to Chris Johnson — the last running back to rush for 2,000 yards — have come out in support of his pursuit.
So impressed by everything @AdrianPeterson has done this year, Detroit Lions great Barry Sanders tweeted recently. Big fan of E.D. But really pulling for AP to break the record. Good luck.
Peterson needs 208 yards on Sunday to break Dickerson's record, a number that would be considered close to impossible for most running backs in this pass-happy league. But Peterson has topped that twice in the previous four games. He's also rushed for more yards against the Packers than any other team, including 210 yards at Lambeau Field on Dec. 2.
I wouldn't say I'm rooting for him to get it, but I want him to do the best that he can do, said Johnson, who developed a bit of a rivalry with Peterson a few years back when both laid claim to the title of the best running back in the league. It's just a nice story from where he got hurt last year. I sent him a text to see how he was doing and stuff like that. I wish him the best and whatever he does, I congratulate him on it and I'll be happy for him.
Peterson has been humbled by all the support and is understanding of Dickerson's stance, but there is one player he wishes he could sit down with before he plays one of the biggest games of his career — Walter Payton.
Peterson speaks to Vikings coach Leslie Frazier about Payton. Frazier was a teammate of Payton's and has routinely said he sees striking similarities between the two, on and off the field.
His name is up there with Tom Brady and Peyton Manning in the MVP discussion, and an MVP win for Peterson would break a string of five straight given to quarterbacks.

Elementary district says high number of students will allow it to hire staff members, build schools
More than 180 enrolled.
"It seemed overwhelming there for a couple of weeks," said Nancy Kerwin, the district's executive director for student, family and community services. "We grew from initially planning for three classrooms, and the phone kept ringing."
Knowing it couldn't accommodate transitional kindergarten at every school because of space limitations, the district had to decide where the classes would go. Ultimately, several principals ponied up rooms that might have otherwise been used for teacher collaboration or PTA.
To date, the district offers one transitional kindergarten class with 22 to 25 students in each at seven schools. The sites are Los Altos, Halecrest, McMillin, Parkview, Lomas Verde, Chula Vista Hills and Sunnyside.
The demand is only going to grow. Next year, by law, districts will need to serve all children with October birthdays. The following school year, they will have to accommodate children with September birthdays, as well.
"We will find the space," Kerwin said.
District spokesman Anthony Millican said the average daily attendance money coming in from the growing enrollment is "a positive no matter which way you slice it," and it is a "unique feeling" to be able to hire teachers. But, he said, it is not to imply that the Chula Vista Elementary School District is any less mindful of this fall's election, in which Californians will vote whether to approve a $6 billion tax increase to help the state solve its long-running fiscal problem.
"We are still holding our breath for the November vote and we are in the same boat with every other district in the state in that regard," Millican said. "But knock wood, we are blessed by this kind of convergence of factors.
"We can't grow our way out of the recession, because it's a very slow recovery, but it certainly helps us fend off some issues that are faced in other districts."

Nice sketches! The life studies are looking good but I think you need to try to get a bit more structure in them. Try to block things out with simple shapes first (boxes or cylinders) and then move into more detail. Keep going with these though.

Game 2014.155: Tigers at Royals
Yesterday's 3-2 victory had a bit of everything going, turning points and momentum shifts all over the place, the baseball gods frowning upon first one and then the other team. It was really something. Good thing the Tigers won, or I'd be sickened by it and unable to speak of it. It scher was a maxtastically pitched game (Zer Kommissar was in town) on both sides of the shields...

Tigers have lots of hidden talents
DETROIT -- The Tigers have all kinds of athletic abilities, but there are quite a few of them that have some unexpected talents. Rookie Kyle Ryan, a native of Auburndale, Fla., has an impressive one. "I hunt anything from squirrels to gators," Ryan said. "We obviously kill it, take it to the processor and they skin it for us. We do a neutral trade. They get the hide, we get the meat...

McCann, Moya among those likely to join Tigers when rosters expand
TOLEDO, Ohio -- The Detroit Tigers very likely will call up six minor leaguers when rosters are allowed to expand on Sept. 1. Four of them should be current Toledo Mud Hens who have been up with the Tigers in 2013 or 2014: middle infielder Hernan Perez, outfielder Tyler Collins, right-handed reliever Justin Miller and one of two other right-handed relievers, Melvin Mercedes or Evan...

Tigers call up Miller, demote Collins
DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers will be going with an extra bullpen pitcher and one less player on the bench for the "short-term" future. Hard-throwing, right-handed reliever Justin Miller, who had been closing for Toledo, was called up from the Mud Hens before Friday night's game with the Los Angeles Angels. Outfielder Tyler Collins, who was batting .143 with 14 at-bats after 12 games...

Game 2014.13: LAA at Det
Tigers made a move today to replenish a worn out bullpen, by bringing up righty Justin Miller from Toledo and sending down Tyler Collins. Since they have 10 games left on this home stand, and Collins has to stay down for 10 days, Miller should get a nice audition before the Tigers have to think about making another move. 1.

Detroit Tigers: Tyler Collins making a big push
The Detroit Tigers have been met with uncertainty this spring due to injuries to expected starters Jose Iglesias and Andy Dirks. While the majority of the focus, and rightfully so, has surrounded what to do at shortstop, one players has been emerging as the potential 5th outfielder. That guy is Tyler Collins. Collins, 23, is a 5'11'', 215 lb. bruiser with a lot of athleticism...

I am 7 DPO and can't wait to start testing. What is the soonest anyone has gotten BFP? What test did you use?
Anyone 7 DPO and dying to test?
Comments (7)
No but I am 8dpo and know that you wont feel better tomorrow. I think the earliest I have seen consistantly is 9dpo using a FRER and it was a barely there faint line. I am a POAS addict and all I know is that 8dpo doesnt produce a faint line for me .
Mommy to RILEY(8.14.2007) and MADISON (due Aug 28)!!!
Yes! I'm right there with you both! I don't know if I'm 7 or 8 DPO but either way I know its too soon to test. I might try Friday when I should be around 10 DPO or 11DPO. Good luck!
Ok thanks I will try to wait until the end of the weekend...
lol I am 2dpo and dying!
Kristy, Adoring Mommy to David
I'm 7 DPO and going nuts, I looked up on google "early pregnancy signs", like signs before a pissed period because I have been feeling a little crampy & peeing all the time, headaches, vision changes, but no breast changes yet. I found on there, especially the peeing is one of the earliest signs because it said the uterus starts to enlarge immediately after implantation to accomidate growth. I might test on New Years Eve, like right before midnight because I am going to meet SO at his work for my New Years kiss on his break time, and if I am that'd be a great time to give him the news, but I'm not holding my breath. This is only my 1st cycle ttc & I didn't even think I'd ovulate after just getting off NuvaRing the 1st of Dec.
Kenzie~ Mama 2 Kimmy 3/00 & Josh 7/05
I tested daily from 7 dpo. I got my bfp on 13 dpo, and it was very faint using FRER.
Good Luck!
YES! i have tested twice already and am only 7-9 DPO (not exactly sure when it happened) and of course, BFN! now i am going to try to hold out till at least the day AF is due!!!

Once again we had the best time ever. Your home is so comfortable and welcoming. We felt like we were "coming home" for the holiday weekend. We'll be back in the summer!
My husband and I stayed here in Fall 2014. The house was nicely taken care of, and the surrounding area is beautiful. Everything was clean and the beds and furniture were all very comfortable. The house had a number of board games and books, but it is not at all cluttered. There is a short walking trail nearby. Erin is very professional and easy to work with. Hoping to return if we are ever in the area.
This was a terrific place to stay and a wonderful location for what we needed. Our arrival was great, the stay was great and the weather was what we ordered!! This house was fully equipped and very comfortable for the 10 guests we had from all over the U.S. We came and went with ease and had a wonderful time. Location was great and centered for what we needed. Thanks to the manager of the property for all her help and assistance. She make the rental very easy. Many thanks to her and the owner.
We stayed over this past Memorial Day weekend and not only was the house spectacular and represented just as shown in the photos, but the whole process from the search, inquiry, rental aggrement, stay, to checkout was without incident. Erin was great at answering all questions and being available and quick with responses. Overall an amazing vacation that I would do over and over again!
I highly recommend this rental. The house was amazing, the layout is spacious yet cozy. There were 9 of us and everyone was comfortably situated. The location was great too. The private beach is right down the block and is beautiful. The vineyards are approximately 5 minutes away by car. Overall extremely positive experience!
We stayed for 3 days and did a wine tour. The house had everything we could have asked for to make our stay comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and cute. We were able to get limo service quickly and easily to meet up with our wine tasting tour. Everything was perfect.
This charming home was everything I expected it to be from the photos and description. Came up here with my girlfriends for a relaxing bachelorette weekend at the wineries. Everything we needed to cook a big breakfast was in the house and it was in close proximity to Love Lane and other local places in town. Most of us took public transport, so next time we'll probably rent cars since a lot of places were close but not necessarily walkable. Will definitely come back again in the summer time!
Mattituck resides at the heart of the North Fork. A town bustling with local merchants, wineries, and beautiful views of both the bay and sound, Mattituck serves as the center of North Fork Living. The famous Love Lane, which is a short distance away, serves as the town center, where local necessities meet modern luxuries.

Got to see a nice supercharged 4th gen sleeper this morning
This isn't really a question....I just saw something totally awesome this morning and wanted to talk about it, lol.
So I dropped my truck off at a local shop to have new brakes and shocks put on this morning. The owner of the shop drives a bright red 4th gen quad cab that I see sitting out beside the shop every time I go by. It always looks immaculate....not a spot of dirt anywhere....but it looks completely stock. Well this morning I got to talking to him and he told me that his truck has a little "something extra". Shortly after buying it he took it to Petty Performance (yes, THE Petty's) and had them install a Magnacharger supercharger system. He showed me the dyno sheet. I don't remember the exact numbers but it was somewhere around 440hp/455tq to the rear wheels!! It also has a set of Hedman Headers and a Borla exhaust. He let me take a look under the hood and started it up and gave it a little romp.....holy crap on a cheeseburger!!! It sounds freakin awesome. By far the best sounding truck and maybe car too that I have ever heard in person. He even volunteered to let me take it for a drive one day.
Well.....add that to the list of things to work towards, lol. It's gonna take me a while.
good lord. you should definitely introduce him to the Z! would love to see some pictures of that beast.
The next time I go by I will definitely refer him to the forumz. I am going to take him up on that test drive offer some time too. The crazy part is it looks 100% bone stock. It even still has the original Goodyear Wrangler HPs....everyone gets rid of those, lol.
I must say, I do love the Magnacharger systems!
I was looking at the Magnacharger site and also did some average driveline loss calculations and I would guess the engine is making around 510hp/530tq....basically identical to the 8.3L V10 in the SRT10 Ram.....amazing.
Cant imagine how fun that would be!
What kind of Dyno numbers are you see with the RIPP Mango?
Here is my engine bay.
I like the look of the Maggie. I wonder which puts more to the ground between ripples and the Maggie

NEW ORLEANS -- Just a couple weeks ago, Hannah Simon was the picture of happiness, on the verge of experiencing an important milestone in her life -- graduation.
'She's vivacious. She's the stubborn one in the family, you know. She's full of life, always smiling,' said Simon's sister, Rachel.
But everything changed in an instant for the Covington High School senior the night of April 20, when an SUV slammed into the car she was driving on Hwy. 435 in a remote area of St. Tammany Parish.
Simon was transported to the LSU Trauma Center in New Orleans, where she's still on a ventilator and feeding tube -- fighting for her life.
'I just think it's devastating, you know. With graduation, you know, my sister was prepared to go to college and her biggest concern was fixing her hair with her cap and gown, and now she's on life support in New Orleans,' Rachel said.
In a tragic case of coincidence, one of Hannah Simon's classmates at CHS, Kayla Dearman, was killed in a separate crash just about an hour later and only a few miles away, along Hwy. 21.
Authorities said Dearman veered off the roadway and struck a culvert, causing her vehicle to flip several times.
At Covington High, the news was met with shock.
'When it's just a few weeks before graduation and (students) are all coming closer together as a graduating class. It just makes it really, really difficult for them,' said Principal Deborah McCollum. 'We're a family, you know, so we all pulled together. The kids pulled together. They supported each other. The faculty pulled together. We supported each other to get through it.'
Now, the entire school is honoring Kayla Dearman's memory, while pulling for Hannah Simon's recovery, right along with her loved ones.
Rachel Simon said the support has been overwhelming.
'My sister is the feisty one. She's stubborn and she's hard headed, and I feel like if anyone is gonna pull through this in my family, it's her,' Rachel said.
State police still aren't sure what led to Dearman's accident, which didn't involve any other vehicles.
As for Hannah Simon's crash, police charged the other driver, 65-year-old Kenneth Gibbs, with a DWI.
However, officials said the accident wasn't Gibbs' fault, but they point out, the district attorney could decide to pursue further action.
Officials said neither student was wearing a seatbelt.
Family members have set up a fund for Hannah Simon's soaring medical expenses.
Donations can be dropped off at any Capitol One location, they said.

JPMorgan Top Director Says 'Stay Tuned' on Risk Panel Change
May 21 (Bloomberg) -- JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s risk committee could undergo changes in its membership, said Lee R. Raymond, the bank's lead director.
"In terms of the composition of the risk committee, you should stay tuned," Raymond said today at the firm's annual meeting in Tampa, Florida. He was responding to a question from Mike Mayo, an analyst at CLSA Ltd., on why the board didn't overhaul the committee following last year's risk-management failures in the chief investment office.
Shareholders are scheduled to vote on three members of the risk committee, including Ellen Futter, 63, David Cote, 60, and James Crown, 59. Futter, president of the American Museum of Natural History in New York, wasn't able to attend the shareholder meeting, Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon said.
A majority of preliminary ballots supported the three risk-committee members, according to the New York Times. Among them, Futter received the least support, the newspaper said.
Futter didn't immediately respond to phone and e-mail messages seeking comment.

By James Slater: Tonight in Tyne and Wear, England, Canadas IBF super-bantamweight champion Steve Molitor retained his title with a close, nip-and-tuck points win over the classy Jason Booth. The Canadian Kid was given plenty to think about by Nottinghams Booth - who was really aiming to top an amazing comeback that saw him return from a severe bout against alcohol - but in the end the bigger man had a little too much for the man known as 2-Smooth.
Prevailing by scores of 116-113, 116-112 and 114-114, southpaw Molitor improved to 33-1(12) in making the first defence of his second reign as IBF 122-pound champ. Booth, who really gave his all tonight, fell to 35-6(15).
The 1st-round saw a cautious start, with both guys taking a good look at each other. Molitor, beaten only by the superb Celestino Caballero, looked so much the bigger man. In the 2nd and 3rd-rounds, however, Booth came on strong and bossed the action with his class and aggression. Molitor also suffered a cut to his left eye in the 2nd, and he looked uncomfortable.
Booth was again much faster and more active in the 4th, and Molitor looked less than impressive. In the 5th, the defending champion finally came to life, throwing punches in bunches and working the challengers midsection. The rounds were still close, though, and the judges earned their wages tonight.
The 6th belonged to the champion, and he looked so much the more powerful man. The cut to the left eye didnt really bother Molitor too much, as his corner did a good job on the damage. By the 7th it looked like Molitor, the younger man by two years at age 30, was taking over, but Booth was still lively and still ultra-game. The action was good to watch, and the crowd was well into it.
Booth was still able to push the stronger man back in the 8th, and neither guy was looking tired. But then, later in the 8th, Molitor had Booth in some trouble along the ropes as he fired away with both hands, mostly his powerful left hand. Booth was still popping away with shots in the 9th, but the champion was noticeably more powerful and dangerous.
Molitor upped his workrate yet again in the 10th, but Booth was once again willing to fire back and trade with him - the Cinderella Man challenger really was showing some guts in there. The two clashed heads in the 11th, and Molitor suffered a cut high on his head.
Booth was still classy in the 11th, but now he was looking tired. Molitor, too, was feeling it, and the two men were digging deep. The penultimate round really was a tough one to score! It was a spirited effort by both in the 12th and final round also, with both guys slinging plenty of shots. Molitor was the more accurate of the two, however, and he shaded the session.
Both men had much respect at the end, and though the fight was close no-one could complain too much at how the judges scored it. Booth can come again, and Molitor may well reign for a while yet.

text: This acquisition will finally answer the question who the best in the world is, no more of this pride is better than the ufc, or the ufc is better than pride crap. The fans will get to see who the top fighters in the world are and there will never be a lack of great competition. All the great fighters will end up fighting against each other not picking one orginization over another. While i do support the purchase of pride, i do however think that it brings up one more question for debate. What should the fighters be competing in a cage, or a ring. Both create diffrent enviroments and benifet certain types of fighting, while the purchase bridged the gap we still have a long way to go.
