Shockey clears name as Saints 'snitch'
Former Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey was dubbed the "snitch" in the Bountygate scandal by NFL Network analyst Warren Sapp this week.
Shockey vehemently denied the accusation, and since then has had his name cleared by Saints head coach Sean Payton via text message.
Payton, who was suspended for the 2012 season by commissioner Roger Goodell, seemed rather upbeat in a short transcript of the message.
Shockey tweeted a screenshot from his iPhone Thursday, saying, "The truth shall set u free! Read the text."
"Coach sux to hear the news u know I love u and that sh*t is unfair!" said Shockey's message to Payton, who was slapped with a one-year ban by the league Wednesday.
"Sapp is saying I was the rat wtf u know me and u know this is media bullsh*t."
Payton responded to the text about 30 minutes later, writing, "Shock your my guy and always will be!! I know you had nothing to do with that stuff sap said!! Hell you were in the offensive mtgs with me!!! Love ya. Sean."
The NFL handed down a slew of penalties to the Saints for the team's pay-for-performance system, in which defensive players received cash bonuses for injuring opponents. Soon after the announcement, Sapp wrote on Twitter he had "heard who the snitch was."
When a follower asked if it was Shockey, the former defensive lineman responded, "BINGO!"
The allegation drew a swift response from Shockey, who played for Carolina last season.
"My *ss!!" the tight end wrote. "I don't even play defense."
Sapp responded, "That's not the issue."
Sapp, who currently works as an analyst for NFL Network, could face legal problems for publicly naming Shockey as the whistle-blower, Los Angeles-based employment lawyer Arthur Whang told FOXSports.com Wednesday.
Federal labor law protects employees against retribution as a result of complaining about unsafe work environments.
"Sapp is technically a league employee," Whang said. "If Shockey is the whistle-blower, he is protected. So, by outing him, Sapp may have opened Shockey up to retaliation, such as someone not signing him."
BATTLE BY THE BAYThe Saints and 49ers went to war in the playoffs last season. VIEW PHOTOS
Shockey, who is currently an unrestricted free agent, played for the Saints from 2008 to 2010.
In announcing its punishments, the NFL said New Orleans, under former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, had an active bounty program from 2009 to 2011.
The league's determination led to a one-year suspension for Payton, an indefinite suspension for Williams, who was recently hired by the St. Louis Rams, and a six-game game ban for Saints assistant head coach Joe Vitt.
Saints general manager Mickey Loomis also received an eight-game suspension, while the team was fined $500,000 and forced to surrender a second-round draft pick in 2012 and 2013.

Bipartisan effort aims to strengthen Michigan legislative resources
By Current State
A long-time Michigan political insider is launching a bipartisan effort to bolster resources for state legislators. The "Strengthening Michigan's Governing Institutions" project is the brainchild of Republican/Libertarian Richard McLellan, who thinks term limits have left legislators with too few resources to do their jobs well.
McLellan announced the 501(c)(3) initiative last week. His group hopes to raise a half-million dollars annually through foundations, associations and corporations.
Lansing State Rep. Andy Schor is a Democrat who is one of four Representatives who have agreed to advise the group.
McLellan says there probably is some "buyer's remorse" among Republicans on term limits.

Tuggle takes itPublished 11:48pm Tuesday, November 2, 2010
Cheers erupted from the Shoppes of Queen's Attic last night as Republican Mark Tuggle defeated incumbent State Rep. Betty Carol Graham for the seat of House District 81.
Tuggle received 9,005 votes, compared with 6,989 for Graham, who has held the House District 81 seat the past four terms.
Tuggle waited until the final precincts reported numbers to acknowledge his win, but when he did address the crowd of friends and family, he thanked them for assisting in his road to victory.
"I had a lot of help. All I did was put my name on a ballot and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people stood behind me and pushed me forward and helped me get this done," he said.
Tuggle, who has been a professional forester for about two decades, ran an intense campaign against Graham by selling himself as a "working man" with plans to "clean up the House."
"When all of this started, I knew I could not raise the kind of money she could raise, but I knew I could outwork her," he said.
Tuggle said the first issue he plans to tackle in office is economic development and bringing industry and creating jobs in the county.
He said he was grateful he "weathered the storm" of the campaign.
"I have been caller a liar, I have been called a smearer – whatever that is – and I have been called a typical politician," Tuggle told his supporters. "I'm a 22-year professional forester. They've called me a lot of things and now they can call me representative."
"This is a very special night for me and my family," he added, acknowledging his wife, Michelle, and daughter, Dee. "Michelle said tonight I smiled tonight for the first time in two weeks."
John Prophitt, chairman of the Tallapoosa County Republican Party, praised Tuggle's victory, stating that it's "unprecedented for a Republican to beat a Democrat that soundly" and also called the Republican takeover of the Alabama State House "historic."
"I think the one word for tonight is historic, only because Republicans have made more gains in this county … since the Civil War," Prophitt said. "We have been making steady gains. We saw a lot of gains in the primary … what it shows us is there is now a strong two-party system in the county."

Gourmet meals from food trucks
Tracking down San Diego's growing fleet of gourmet food trucks
A couple of years ago, Dave Long, a professionally trained chef who had opened a restaurant in Costa Rica and worked with Bradley Ogden in San Francisco, was working as a personal chef. The family was nice enough, but there was one problem for this energetic, talkative former Navy SEAL.
"I was bored," Long said, standing in front of his Dave de Jour food truck around midnight on a Wednesday in North Park. "I felt like a glorified butler. I wanted my own thing, but without having to open a traditional restaurant."
At the time, the word was starting to spread about gourmet food trucks that were attempting to bring the mobile meals forward by incorporating new trends in fusion cuisine and local ingredients.
"I read an article about Kogi in L.A., so I went to check it out," Long said, referring to the now nationally known Kogi BBQ truck that sells Korean-style tacos. "When I got there, a huge line had already formed, and the truck wasn't even there yet. That's when I knew I was going to get a truck."
Some stories about the gourmet food truck trend have referred to Kogi BBQ in Los Angeles as the first, which is kind of like saying Apple invented the computer. They didn't come up with the idea; they just made it more user-friendly.
Food trucks have been around for decades, from New York to San Francisco, and were feeding San Diegans as early as the 1940s. What Kogi did do, most agree, is show the way to greater visibility through social media. Through Twitter, but also using other Web services like Facebook, food trucks can now give their followers up-to-the-minute reports on their locations. The Kogi Twitter feed now has more than 69,000 followers.
"Kogi brought it all to the forefront," said Kevin Ho, co-owner of the Miho Gastrotruck, which started prowling the streets of San Diego two months ago. "They used social networking in a great way and established a strong following. That strategy of reaching people is at the heart of the growing food truck movement."
There are still plenty of hurdles to success: getting licenses and permits, truck maintenance, managing the food and separate prep kitchen, and, maybe most challenging, breaking down the stereotype of the "roach coach."
"You have to overcome people's perceptions of food trucks," Long said. "People see my menu and say, 'I'm not eating ahi skewers out of a truck,' but I assure you my truck is better run and more sanitary than a lot of restaurants."
A look at San Diego's new crop of gourmet food trucks and how to find them:

This is one of the few trucks that has a strong presence in North County, where Long lives, but also is a regular in city spots like North Park. The menu changes depending on available ingredients and inspiration, but offers a list of sliders from beef tongue to mahi-mahi. There are also vegetarian options, like the intriguingly spicy smoked lentil tacos.

Best Value11/22/2004
I installed this in an iPAQ 3870. It works fine, I store mainly Microsoft Streets and Trips Pocket maps on it. Not 32X (previous reviewer who indicated it was is incorrect), and now that the 32X version is almost as cheap, I would probably buy that instead.4 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
Nice card10/25/2004
I'm not into the big megapixel cameras so I don't need the super high perfomance cards. This one lists 32X and for my 2.1 and 3.1 MP pictures, it works great. Huge capacity and faster shot-to-shot speed than my last SD card, I sure can't find anything to complain about.3 Helpful | 3 Not Helpful
slow but great price for mp3 use10/15/2004
This card was the best price I've ever seen for 1gb sd and I wondered what might be the reason for the cheap price. I see now that it is the speed which isn't intolerable, but I agree with the other reviewer it writes slow. But I use it with my rio mp3 player and once I have my music downloaded everything is perfect. Great price.4 Helpful | 1 Not Helpful
For MP3, but not for digicam10/7/2004
I bought and returned this product on the same day. It wasn't bad (and the price was very good), but just painfully slow when writing to it. The write speed was typcial of Toshiba or Kingston (Toshiba reseller) cards. It is Ok if you use it for storing MP3 or Palm/PPC data. But if you do a lot of writing to the card, such as backing up Palm/PPC or use it on digicam, you'd better look elsewhere. For camparison, SanDisk cards are faster, and Panasonic cards are much faster (or you can buy specially marked high speed SDs made by Lexar and others).37 Helpful | 1 Not Helpful

It's true: if you've never used any kind of a torch, the idea of holding something in your hand that's capable of spitting out more flame than a barbecue lighter can be a little intimidating. For years, I used a single fuel torch for making my own lampwork glass beads, but the idea of using a butane torch (also called a micro torch) for jewelry making was something that scared the pants off of me.
My first experience using a micro torch was for firing precious metal clay (PMC) in a small workshop, and it really wasn't as scary as I had thought it would be. Part of feeling comfortable using a micro torch was understanding what it was for, and how to set it up. If you're curious about what the micro torch is all about, we'll learn about micro torch basics from Jewelry Making Daily contributor Kate Richbourgh!
Now, let's begin at the beginning.
Meet My Torches, Blazer and Max FlameI have two
torches that belong to the butane torch family. Both are durable, high
powered, and specifically geared for jewelry making. I have put both of
these torches "through the wringer" so to speak. They have been in
constant use in the classroom and on my workbench for more than five
years and are still as good as new.
My Blazer torch is the first butane torch I ever purchased that
actually worked well for jewelry. I found out the hard way that with
butane torches, you really get what you pay for. When you are shopping
for a butane torch, take a good look at it. Is it mostly plastic with a
minimum of metal parts? If so, put it back on the shelf, regardless of
the great bargain it might seem. Torches that are kept on for an
extended length of time (during the soldering process) get hot. That
heat centers around the top of the torch and torch head. Too much
plastic and you may find that your torch head may melt slightly, and
that will affect the delivery of the butane to the torch tip, making the
torch impossible to light. (Ask me how I know!) Torches that are mostly
metal can be used for extended periods of time without fear of damage
in this way.
My other micro torch is my Max Flame torch. The flame on my Max Flame
torch is wider and longer; that means that I can solder bigger pieces
with the Max Flame torch than with the Blazer.
Blazer vs Max Flame Torches: When to Use Each OneSo you may be wondering, "What exactly do I use each torch for?" Here is the breakdown:
Blazer micro torch (up to 2400° F)
Max Flame micro torch (also up to 2400° F)
Filling the torch can be one of the "scary moments" with a butane
torch, but trust me--with a little know-how, it's a walk in the park.
The butane will flow from the canister into the torch. If you hear
fuel escaping out the torch head during filling, stop and tighten the
knob that regulates the butane flow. I fill the torch until the butane
makes a slight spitting noise at the filling point (about a 10 count).
Then I replace the stand on the torch, stand it upright, and let the
butane settle for about 30 seconds or so. I store my butane canister out
of the way, and I am ready to go!
Consult the directions that came with your particular torch for
directions on how to turn on your exact torch, but there are some basic
concepts that apply to all micro butane torches:
Understanding the FlameNow examine the flame
itself. (Sometimes it's best to view it under dimmed light.) You'll see
an inner and outer flame. The outer flame is a dark transparent blue.
The inner flame is lighter and more opaque in color and comes to a sharp
tip inside the outer flame. Just in front of that lighter flame is the
"sweet spot" or the hottest part of the flame and the point to quickly
heat metal and flow solder. You'll move this tip up close or farther
away from the surface of the metal to control the rate of heat on the
After you're done examining the flame, turn the torch off. Place the
torch upright on the fireproof surface. Remember that the tip will be
hot, so point it away from you.
Congratulations! You have conquered the first steps using a butane
torch. Let me also recommend, as with any complex jewelry tool, to get
out the instructions that came with your torch and read them. I'll bet
there is a wealth of information on that piece of paper! Stay tuned for

'Menin Gate at midnight' was painted by Will Longstaff to commemorate those soldiers with no marked graves on the Western Front during the First World War; also known as 'Ghosts of Menin Gate'. Longstaff attended a ceremony dedicating the Menin Gate memorial to the soldiers of the British empire forces, just outside the town of Ypres, Belgium, on 24 July 1927. The memorial was dedicated to the 350,000 men of the British and Empire forces who had died in battles around Ypres, and bears the names of 55,000 men with no known grave, over 6,000 of whom were Australians. Longstaff was profoundly moved by what he witnessed and that night, unable to sleep, Longstaff returned to Menin Road and later claimed to have had a vision of spirits of the dead rising out of the soil around him. On returning to his studio in London he painted 'Menin Gate at midnight' in a single session. Today 'Menin Gate at midnight' has achieved the status of a national icon. The painting retains its ability to provoke an emotional response and to communicate the scale of the loss of life and the devastation of war. However as people now have a very different understanding of war, the painting serves a slightly different function. Whereas in the past people responded to the painting as it related to the loss of a loved one and their own personal grief, now the painting communicates the loss experienced by a whole generation. The vast number of those who were killed, and the immensity of the damage wrought during the First World War, requires that those who sacrificed their lives should not be forgotten.

THE SUNDAY STORY Cyclists in the U.K. are at serious risk of severe injury or death from accidents involving motor vehicles
For many decades I have used a bicycle for all local transport, shopping, and commuting to and from work in the U.K. For longer journeys within the U.K., I use trains, and occasionally local buses; both those services are expensive and can be unreliable. I have not owned a car for nearly 25 years, and have ridden a bicycle at all times of day and night, in temperatures ranging from minus 18C to plus 37C, and in conditions from perfect visibility and dry roads to ice, snow, sleet, heavy rain, 60-knot winds, and fog.
Despite the extent of regulation and self-regulation of British road traffic in comparison to Indian traffic, cyclists in the U.K. are at serious risk of severe injury or death from accidents involving motor vehicles, and I have myself been very fortunate in that on one occasion I was not killed when in clear conditions with very little traffic a car turned directly across from the opposite side and struck my bicycle. I wear a yellow-and-black helmet, display lights even when these may not be legally required, and regard every operator of a motor vehicle of any kind as a potential killer.
In Chennai I ride a bicycle for local shopping and general exercise, but in general at times when traffic is quieter, and over a much smaller area than I used to cover even five years ago. I have nothing printable to say about the standard of Indian roads, road layout and maintenance, signage, or road behaviour, and cannot foresee any improvement in any of those. It has occurred to me that the safest way to ride a bicycle in India is to enclose your bicycle in a large box of armour-plated steel, which must then be equipped with caterpillars as well as a four-inch gun and a remote-controlled machine-gun on top of the turret. It is called a tank.

Taking inspiration from the conclusions being drawn from the recent 2G spectrum auction, Suresh Kalmadi has decided to redeem himself and put an end to the whole issue of CWG scam. Kalmadi has asked for permission to host the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Delhi again, so that he could prove that there was no scam when the Games were hosted in 2010.
"Just as 2G spectrum licenses were offered again to telecom companies, why can't CWG be held again in Delhi?" argued Kalmadi, who along with A Raja, was inducted as a member in a parliamentary standing committee last month.
Sources told Faking News that Kalmadi has been feeling restless ever since the low revenues earned through the 2G spectrum auction has been cited as a clinching proof that the 2G scam never happened.
"Kalmadi feels that if the revenue figures realised in 2008 could be compared with those realised in 2012, the expenses figure realised in 2010 could be compared with those that will be realised in 2014," Lalit, a close aide of Kalmadi, said.
Explaining further, Lalit said, "See, the way prices are rising, very soon a roll of premium toilet paper could actually cost Rs 4,000, which was the figure quoted in the media and which led to an outrage. If the next CWG also sees a toilet paper of Rs 4,000, we can claim that there was no loss and hence no CWG scam!"
When asked how one could ignore the inflation between the 2010 and the 2014 Commonwealth Games, Lalit said, "Just as we are ignoring the market dynamics and technological advances between 2008 and 2012 in the case of 2G spectrum licences sale."
Experts too believe that if India could convince Scotland, where the 2014 Commonwealth Games are scheduled to be held in Glasgow, to forgo the host status and let Delhi host the Games again, lawyers such as Kapil Sibal and Manish Tewari could argue that there was no CWG scam in 2010.
"An excessive focus on Rs 1.76 lakh crore led people to believe as if that was the centre of the 2G scam. The way rules were bent and companies were favoured for suspected quid pro quo was almost kicked out from the public discourse," Rajkumar, an expert, pointed out.
"Similarly, if one could just focus just on numbers like 'Rs 4,000 for a toilet paper' and try to obfuscate the malpractices and shoddy preparations that were witnessed during the Games, even the CWG scam could be laid to rest like the 2G scam," he added.
"There is a strong case – comparisons with the London Olympics were made and attempts were made to argue that CWG was not hosted *that* badly," the expert further pointed out. "Kalmadi is not wrong if he thinks he too can get a clean chit and India can forget yet another scam."
Rahul Roushan thinks he can make some sense through nonsense. He attempts the same through his news satire website www.fakingnews.com

If I can help you, why can't I help me?I have spent my whole life helping everyone I could whether I knew then or not. I have saved people from suicide, drugs and alcohol, dangerous situations and even just helped to sort out their problems in a way that makes sense to them so they can begin to self solve. I teach people almost every day how to break down their problems into tiny managable peices. Yet with all I can do to save others, I still can't save myself. I have hated myself for so long I can't even remember why.

28.04.08 - By Per Ake Persson: photo courtesy of frankwarren.tv -- British prospect Jamie Cox, 5-0, kindly took time out for a short interview. Cox is managed and promoted by Frank Warren´s Sports Network. The 21-year old started out with Richie Woodhall as trainer but is currently trained by Paddy Fitzpatrick in his hometown of Swindon..
Q: When is your next fight?
A: I was supposed be on the on the undercard to Arthur vs Guzman May 3 in against Billy Smith but that show got postponed. As it looks now I fight next on the undercard June 21 in Birmingham where Amir Khan headlines. The May 3 would have been my first fight over six threes, the opponent was to have been Billy Smith, a very experienced guy.
Q: What did you do as an amateur?
A: I had about 95 fights, 16 losses, I represented England 25 times. I won the Commonwealth games in 2006 and the ABA title the same year.
Q: How come you started boxing?
A: I was a very active kid to begin with and my family were into boxing as it was. When I was eight my Dad took me to a gym and it was love at the first sight.
Q: Describe your style!
A: I´m tall for my weight division, a southpaw, I like to put pressure on my opponent, not stupidly marching forward but cleverly, I can fight going backwards too but I sure like to come to forward.
Trainer Paddy Fitzpatrick adds: Jamie is developing into a patient boxer / puncher, good hand speed, very good eyes, he´s a great student, listens well, he´s got no real flaws, just needs to develop how to control the flow of a long fight.

Previous concussion biomechanics research has relied heavily on the animal model or laboratory reconstruction of concussive injuries captured on video footage. Real-time data collection involves a novel approach to better understanding the medical issues related to sport concussion. Recent studies suggest that a concussive injury threshold is elusive and may, in fact, be irrelevant when predicting the clinical outcome.

COMMUNITY SPORTS: New Oceanside gymnastics team is springing to success
OCEANSIDE ---- At the front desk of Gyminny Kids Oceanside, you can find three trophies belonging to the gym's new competitive gymnastics team. Before long, the facility just might need a larger display case to show off all its hardware.
At least that's the hope of coach Vanessa Vander Heide ---- as long as the inevitable success doesn't interfere with the children's enjoyment of the sport.
"We want to be competitive because that's part of what makes the girls feel great," said Vander Heide, who started the team with the gym's owner, Reevon Bryan, in May 2008.
"Our competitive philosophy is that we're out to have a good time. Gymnastics is an excellent sport that helps create a well-rounded person. That's what this is about, more than just being in it to win it."
The team, which consists of 12 girls, made strides during its first season last year. Now, halfway through the 2009 season, the program is blossoming even more.
Gyminny Kids Oceanside recently finished first in the Butterfly Classic, which was hosted Sept. 19 by Gymnastics Pacifica in Corona. Then, last weekend at a meet in San Marcos, the squad's Level Four competitors hauled in another victory.
With two wins in the last two months, the team is riding a hot streak entering this weekend's Tricks and Treats Invitational, which will be the first USA Gymnastics event held at Gyminny Kids Oceanside.
"We're excited about hosting a meet here," said Bryan, who became owner of the facility in November 2007. "This is just going to be a small meet, to give us an opportunity to make sure it's done in the manner we want."
Under previous ownership, the facility did not offer a competitive team or USA Gymnastics events. It was focused solely on recreational gymnastics. But soon after acquiring the gymnasium, Bryan decided to form a team.
With many North County schools discontinuing gymnastics because of budget cuts, the timing was perfect, she says.
"We wanted to make sure girls in the area still had a chance to compete," Bryan said. "This is a sport that requires a lot of training. It's not like baseball, where you can play in the yard and go join a team. You really have to have a facility that allows you the ability to practice your skills. You need appropriate coaching and equipment. It's different than other sports."
But just because Gyminny Kids Oceanside now offers a competitive outlet doesn't mean the gym's focus has changed, Bryan stresses.
"We're still very family oriented, which is a little different than a true team gym," she said. "Vanessa and I both competed, and the types of gyms we came from were not as fun as our gym is here."
According to Vander Heide, the team has received strong performances from all of its members this season, especially captain Joanna Fernane, Brittany Jardine, Charisma Davis, Jenna Whitbeck and Megan Urbalejo.
Jardine, 14, finished first on the bars and seventh overall at last year's Southern California South State Championship, and has continued making progress in all four areas of competition (vault, bars, beam and floor), according to her coach.

Millions of Stars in Omega Centauri
March 20, 2004
Pictured above is the largest ball of stars in our Galaxy. About 10 million stars orbit the center of this globular cluster - named Omega Centauri - as this giant globular cluster orbits our Galactic center. Recent evidence indicates that Omega Centauri is by far the most massive of the about 150 known globular clusters in the Milky Way. Omega Centauri, cataloged as NGC 5139, spans about 150 light years across, lies about 15,000 light years away, and can be seen without visual aid toward the constellation of Centaurus. The stars in globular clusters are generally older, redder and less massive than our Sun. Studying globular clusters tells us not only about the history of our Galaxy but also limits the age of the universe.

Spiders are often looked at as scary and terrifying creatures. They jump, scurry across floors, and hide in all different kinds of nooks and crannies. Spiders are found all over the world and in some places these Arachnids are enormous, highly poisonous and incredibly ferocious.
Often times when we think of a trap door we envision a door hidden within a bookcase or wall that we have seen in a spy movie or television show and it carries feelings of interest along with excitement, not dread and horror, that is, until now.
If you haven't seen or heard of the Trapdoor Spider, well, that just may be a good thing, for once you look at this video it may cause you to, one, never travel again, and two, give you creepy crawly nightmares.

Gaiz and galz, if you like Inazuma Eleven, I reccomend joining the Inazuma Eleven Fan forum. It's like BMGf, but instead of being for Pokémon it's for I11. Oh yeah, and it's not as big as BMGf.
Is it allowed to look for people to battle on this thread? (Sorry, I'm new.)
I think you'll find more luck in this thread: Trainer Station
This thread is more about general chit chat. If you have or get AIM, you can join our chatroom and find battles there as well.
Like this post if you want to start an unofficial URPG Battle Frontier with me.
Do I get to choose my own Pokemon's abilities?
Seems legit...

And always get complaints either way
Challenge my PE2K URPG Gym: Sunyshore
Idea of Unofficial URPG Wager Tournament. Like, IM me or whatever the hell you wanna do if you like it and would be interested in joining.
Sign up Requirements- 10K and 6 pokemon.
This proposed tournament would begin at next gift station. At said station everyone would gift the organiser (for example, me) a Daycare Pass, which is essentially the 10k buy in. The tournament will then run either as a round-robin league or a straight KO tournament (Battles will still be legal URPG battles and count towards normal wages and money for battlers). The Winner of the Tournament will gain all the money that was originally put in. Payment for the winner can work in different ways. the Organiser could add EMs to a Mart Mon of the winners choice and gift it, or if they want it on a story mon, they could trade with the Organiser for a blank Mart Mon ( the cost of which taken out of money for EMing) and then the Organiser would add the moves and gift it. Really any method will work that wont break URPG rules (could even gift the DC passes back, but that would take a long time)
For a League Style, i wouldnt really mind the number of participants as long as it was over 4. For a Tournament, i would like it so that the number of Byes were kept to a minimum, but that can be figured out later.
EDIT: The reason for the long winded money situation is because currently it is unofficial, so it wouldnt be allowed to just type 32K-10k=22K in a thread and the winner claims at the end. Unless it was made official. *NudgeNudge*

i just hope that when puberty hits he grows out of pokemon
I like the premise, but I find the idea of it being unofficial to be much more interesting... Maybe unofficial ideas will bring some fresh new energy into the URPG?
The only drawback is that it takes two gift stations, as you probably noticed. It also requires trust in the organizer, who also has to make sure he/she has saved up enough money by the next gift station. That won't be that hard if it's like 4 people, but 10 could be hard and could require the organizer to be able to spend his money on basically nothing (although he/she has 10 DC passes) for a while. Also, nobody likes waiting.
An alternative idea is that each person that enters promises to gift the winner whatever he/she wants worth 10k or less and purchasable. If he/she asks for a TM from some people, he isn't really getting the full amount he won (since all TMs are worth less than 10k), but if that's his/her choice, then that's what it is. Also, some of the participants may already be gifting that person something for like a surprise and complications could occur with that. I guess he/she could tell them they don't want the prize from them, just the normal gift, if they find that more desirable. Furthermore, you would have to trust many more people, instead of just one: the organizer. If someone doesn't pay up, you could shun them for the rest of their URPG life I guess.
You could do it the original way as well, I'm just pointing out a shorter way, although it has its own flaws.
But if it was official it would just be much more convenient, and no disputes over people not paying up or some kind of evil organizer would arise. ?_? If it was an official tournament, it would have to compete with other tournament ideas, and the most tournaments there have been at once is two, iirc. There are so many tournament ideas...

Norovirus can be transmitted by air, food, water, person to person, or surfaces contaminated by fecal matter from an infected person or settling from the airborne route. Possible contaminated water sources can include wells, lakes, pools, municipal water supplies, and even ice machines. Foods most often associated with Norovirus are shellfish and salads.
According to this article 600,000 to one million individual Norovirus cases in the UK are reported each year. The CDC has indicated more than 20 million cases of gastroenteritis are caused by Norovirus in the United States annually and of those reported cases approximately 70,000 are hospitalized and 800 people die.1
Norovirus cannot be treated with antibiotics because it is a virus. It is essential that proper care be taken if contracting Norovirus or any stomach virus that causes vomiting and diarrhea. Generally it is not a life threatening disease, but individuals with Norovirus can become dehydrated and if not rehydrated can face a life threatening situation. Those most vulnerable are children, the elderly, and those with compromised immune systems.
Symptoms of Norovirus may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Additional symptoms may also include headache, weakness, muscle aches, and even a low grade fever.
Prevention is the key. Washing hands is always the first line of defense, especially after using the toilet, and before eating, touching your face, eyes, nose or mouth, or handling any food.. Avoid crowds when possible, wash raw vegetables, and avoid drinking and eating after others.
Surface cleaning and sanitation using chlorine based disinfectants and air purification using photocatalytic oxidation are also very significant for reducing airborne pathogens and the spread of disease. There is no 100% guarantee you will never become ill at one time or another but if you follow careful hygiene and utilize air purification equipment it will greatly lessen your chances of contracting Norovirus or any other contagious illness.

Report: Maple Leafs to host Winter Classic in 2017
Sportsnet's Chris Johnston is reporting that the Winter Classic is going to come across the border to Toronto in 2017.
The planned location for it would be BMO field, with extensive renovations to outdoor facility taking place. MLSE CEO Tim Leiweke has been in talks with Municipal, Provincial and Federal Officials to make this happen and they all appear on board.
This dovetails nicely into the Maple Leafs 100th anniversary season.
The cost for expanding the woefully small stadium, would be twice it's $60,000,000 initial build price, said Leiweke.
"It's big money, huge money," Said Lewieke
"It fits a lot of needs," he said. "It renovates it for TFC, it certainly renovates it for the Pan Am Games, it renovates it for rugby. The Grey Cup would be phenomenal in an outdoor setting in Toronto on the lake, but (the Winter Classic is) clearly one of the things we put on the wishlist."
"The city, the province and the feds have all told us it's important to them from an economic stimulus standpoint because we see what it's doing to the economy in Detroit now – imagine what would happen in Toronto."
More here: http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/24-7/winter-classic-could-be-coming-to-toronto/
phanuef and gardener starting? is that a new pairing :)
why would they do half french in michigan?
Anybody gonna watch that Team Canada thingy before the Classic?......interested to hear the process behind picking some players over others.....I love hearing different perspectives on players.
Where is everybody?
Leafs prospects making an impact at world junior
Wow on BMO
That would pave the way for the Argo's to play there allowing the Jays to put real grass in Skydome.
Still high from yesterdays game ,Corson scores the Domi wtf then Sittler ,holy crap that was good to see them comeback to force a shoot out that sucked imo ,this was a time for sudden death imo
and happy new years everybody
sorry. i hate begging lol. but a link that will work outside of canada for the game please and thank you. i will 100% share the 24/7 episode 4 link within a couple hours of airing (Russia time)!!!
OMG....I'm really not sure whether I should be downing more Tylenol or cracking open a beer.....my head hurts....what to do, what to do...lol
I think the 2017 game is great, but I'd rather think about it tonight, tomorrow or next week. For now it's enough just to think about todays game. Go Leafs Go.
Game just over two hours away and the no GDT yet?
Any word about game time being altered?
Love that it looks like Toronto will be getting the Winter Classic in 2017, as I was thinking we'd probably have to settle for the Heritage Classic and then Ottawa announced it's plan to host it in 2017, which had really pissed me off.
Anyways, how exactly does it cost $120,000,000 to add some seats to the Stadium, when the Stadium only cost $60,000,000 to build in the first place?
If this does happen, I hope they're smart enough to expand the length to allow the Argonauts to play there!!
Swiss coach Colin Muller on Fabrice Herzog: "He has the long reach, Rick Nash sort of style player. Works his tail off." #Leafs
Good morning Folks
@mbails no...they had to submit there line up before the wings....Carlyle covered his basis... if Datsuyk line starts Dion stays and Gardiner changes any other line which happened... Dion changed for Frason
I'm PVRing it.
Will watch it later
@.JVR.hello just passing the great leafs news to the wing nut accross the street
MALMO, Sweden — Maple Leafs fans got a nice New Year's
gift from Switzerland coach Colin Muller.
Leafs prospect Fabrice Herzog leads the Swiss with three goals at the 2014 world junior and Muller dropped the name of a big-time NHL forward when discussing Herzog on Wednesday.
"Fabrice Herzog right now for us is, if not our best forward … he is really good around the net," Muller said. "He has the long reach, a Rick Nash sort of style player. Works his tail off. Back checks hard. Knows where to go, knows the front of the net. Wins pucks on battles with stick. Good kid. I really like him. He has improved in the last six months."
Can Herzog, who was picked 142nd overall by the Leafs in the 2013 NHL draft, make it to the NHL?
"He could be close," Muller said. "He is sort of an awkward skater right now, I think he is still just getting into his body size."
Herzog can score. In 34 games with the Quebec Remparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, the 6-foot-2, 194-pound forward has 20 goals and nine assists.
"There are a lot of good players there and I like my role there," Herzog said. "I think it is better when I play in the Quebec league than the Swiss junior league. I think I can learn more."
Herzog is one of three Leafs picks playing in the tournament.
Frederik Gauthier, the first-rounder last June, is back at his natural position of centre for Canada and won three faceoffs late in the 3-2 win against the United States on Tuesday.
And the Leafs figure they uncovered a gem in Swedish forward Andreas Johnson, a seventh-round pick in 2013. He has been sharp in the world junior, scoring three goals and recording three assists in four games.
"You hope this is where he is going to be, but maybe a bit of a surprise, I guess," Leafs director of amateur scouting Dave Morrison said, "but we had high hopes for him because we thought he had that ability.
"He is really smart and he just has natural offensive ability. He just seems to find the seams. He can shoot the puck and he can really pass the puck."
Thread hasn't been posted to the front page yet.
@TheCanucksnaphook I hope to get off of my couch soon. Will keep you updated.
@mbails In case you still need a link, try this one.
@wendelsway1uhhh no taking tylenol after drinking young lady,people have died shortly after doin that ,so yes beer or breakfast
@wendelsway1 I'd try the beer first, if that doesn't work, ... um ahh, try another one. good luck.
@Jmessih If MLSE buys the Argos it'll be only to somehow turn them into an NFL team. I'm surprised that Rogers isn't being challenged for having their hands in so many cookie jars at once.
I agree, two hours from now the puck drop for the 2014 Winter Classic will be imminent and all MLHS wants to talk about is the possible 2017 edition?
Come on boys, lets get back on track!
@MaxwellHowe Na, 2017 is still a long way away. Lot's of time to chan .... Oh you mean todays game, I'm getting ahead of myself. lol -- I haven't heard anything, and don't really expect any major change.
@BurtonboyOf the forward Leafs have drafted I think that Johnson, Brown and Herzog will be big surprises.
Johnson makes his goals against nations like Finland and Russia, not against Norway
@Mind BombGood morning MB ready for breaky yet ,leftover wings ? lmao

@Leafs rule @wendelsway1 Yes...I do actually know this.....just a little fuzzy this morning...don't know why I typed Tylenol....as my go to is Advil....Fuck it, .just gonna mix up a batch of Caesars and go from there. :)
@Leafs rule @wendelsway1 Yep, this from Mens Health Magazine.http://www.menshealth.com/health/3-hangover-you-mistakes-you-always-make
Tylenol Be careful of what pain medication you take for that jackhammer in your head, says Robert Swift, M.D., a professor at Brown University's Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies.
Acetaminophen—the active ingredient in Tylenol—needs to be metabolized by the liver just like alcohol. A night of drinking disrupts your liver from fully breaking down the toxins in acetaminophen, risking liver damage even at lower doses. Stick with a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen. (Avoid aspirin, too, since it could upset your stomach).
@Loric76@wendelsway1 Beer? Don't mind if I do!
Could definitely see MLSE buying the Argos and moving them to BMO after the expansion is complete.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see an NFL team in Toronto, but I don't see the league expanding anytime soon and I'm sure the League would rather put a team in LA than Toronto.
