Yes. And of course you won't name a single GOPer. Why would they say any different?
The fact that Joe Trippi - who is a Democrat - and several other Democrats (and liberal voices in and out of politics - such as the aforementioned Washington Post, which is no friend of Gov. Perry) ALL smell something fishy - in fact, all have accused the DA in question of having a political motive - and a questionable one - should be ringing the alarums. I was trying to give the DA a reasonable doubt - the fact that prominent Democrats are not doing any such thing should be rather worrisome.

Lonna you forgot to mention that the City of Passaic will also charge residence for handicapped parking spots in front of there houses and they want to charge bartenders and waitress a licensing fee. You are also correct on the property taxes, they have lost millions from house in Passaic Park being turned into houses of worship and not paying taxes.

Do property owners and vehicle drivers not already pay state and local taxes that cover emergency services like fire? All this will do is raise insurance rates...
Passaic Counties Hasidic Community: I respect one's beliefs, religions and beside from the few uptights I found some Hasidics to be rather pleasant and our children have played together at Parks some even allowing their children to Pet my two rescued dogs.
However, my question is this.... Why does every Tax Free Family have a Mother with 3-6 kids covered by NJ Medicaid when the Value of your home's are hitting the Million and above Mark?
That said, It's not very hard to tell where Gaps are so why tax the Legal Tax Paying Homeowners in Passaic NJ for a Medical or Fire Emergency beyond their control. Sheesh.
Next Stop, Do away with the Legislation that makes it Legal to Expedite assistance to Illegal "Refugees". For one that come's out of Legal Americans of all ethnicities tax dollars and serves as an invitation to a free Win for Life Ticket as long as you can get here and have a decent story of your plight in another country. Good Lord.
IMO, Passaic NJ's (Not Passaic County) is a Portal for Immigrants and a lot of them are undocumented. The other Portion (Mostly Passaic Park within Pasaic) is Operated and practically owned by Hacidics who Provide Emergency Services for ONLY each other. They can garner that $200,000.00 simply by critiquing many undocumented workers on Main Ave Alone inconjuction with spotting All the Tax Breaks from the Hacidic Communities who are living like Kings and own the Most Expensive Multi-Million Dollar Homes in the town of Passaic(Park).

I dont get any of the stutter from it in DX10 or DX11. I haven't changed anything in the machine, just swapped GPUs back and forth about 10 times now. The issue with the HD5870 is that smoke in BF BC2 drop the framerates to 30s or so which my GTX 480 doesn't do, obviously the GTX 480 benchmarks faster, its faster, its just not smoother in BF BC2. The cause may not be the video card, but it may be a driver conflict with something else in the PC. I get that, I'm just tired of troubleshooting it to figure out what it is.
So far I've tried -
- PCI sound card (w/ 2 different driver versions)
- Onboard sound card (w/ 4 different driver versions)
- PCI gigabit NIC (w/ 3 different driver versions)
- Onboard NIC (w/ 3 different driver versions)
- reinstalled OS and game to other HDs (2)
- OS reinstalls (3 or 4 now)
- disabled all background software and non critical services
- changed settings to stock (CPU)
- another kit of ram
- another keyboard (ps2 and USB)
- another mouse (ps2 and USB)
- change multimedia class registry setting
- lowered ram speed
- changed sound settings (44k, 16bit, 24bit, etc)
- disabled windows search and restore
- installed 197.45 and installed every nvidia driver through 257.21 to see if any worked better
- 3 different motherboard bioses
...and after all that changing the GPU out with the HD5870 is the only thing that makes that damn game play smoothly...
I've put way to much time and money into trying to sort this. I need a break.
Wow, it does look as if you have gone to extremes to sort this out.
Just one question, does it do it in single player or is it just multiplayer.

NFL 2012 - Drive to Glory

Re: NFL 2012 - Drive to Glory
I'm not sure which thought is scarier... the idea that
A) Denver has a Peyton Freaking Manning led offense, but it's scariest part is the defense. Or...
B) The offense can struggle mightily (or at least appear to struggle), but still post 30 points.
For the second week straight week, the offense didn't seem to be clicking but the defense absolutely killed it! The two young CBs in Harris and Carter continue to do an impressive job, Woodyard was all over the place making plays, and Von Miller continues to be a one-man wrecking crew. Also, it seems like every time Dumervil touches the QB, the ball comes popping out.

After installing DAZ4.5 I noticed the content manager running in the background in the task manager, even though I hadn't run DAZ for the first time yet.
When I got up this morning it was still running, and I also noticed that my 'screensaver & log off' for online passworded protection didn't run - so I exited the service and the SS/LO sequence still worked fine.
So, my question is this: Is there some setting I need to change so the CM doesn't interfere with my system security features?

Want to see the Heat at Madison Square Garden? It's gonna cost you.
Sep 24, 2010, 10:25 AM EDT
Welcome to the world of variable ticket pricing.
You know, the idea taking hold in the NBA (and sports generally) that tickets to high profile games will cost more than not-in-demand games. Basic supply and demand economics.
So how much more? How about nearly four times as much. Which is more than "variable pricing" and more like "wild swings pricing." That is what the New York Post found looking at Knicks and Nets ticket prices for this season.
A 400-level Garden seat vs. Atlanta in November costs $34.50, according to TicketMaster. But the same 400-level seat for the Dec. 27 showdown vs. James' Heat runs $129.50 — nearly four times the normal cost.
The markup runs across the Garden. A lower-bowl, Section 95 seat for Knicks-Atlanta is priced at $110. But for the Heat game, the same seats costs $369.50. The extravagant markups also are in place for the lone visit by the world-champion Lakers Jan. 9 and the Celtics meetings.
A lot of teams are experimenting with variable pricing now, in a few years it will be the expected norm in the NBA.
But most of those teams are looking at more modest increases. Well, for now they are. If they can get away with quadrupling a normal ticket price, you can bet they will. Never underestimate what an owner will do to increase revenue.

49 year old man | Las Vegas, NV, USA | Seeking women 30-50 within 50 miles
Don't worry, smile and dance; you just can't work life out. Don't let down moods entrance you; take the wine and shout.
A bit of an overachiever with a bit too much education, I suppose. Witty, irreverent, and spontaneous, yet serious when necessary. I have a firm belief in assisting others and rarely make decisions based entirely on financial reward. Looking for a wonderful, shared experience where the value is on us and family, not on the various trinkets we acquire. I'm very dedicated and honest to a fault. Having grown up in The South, I strongly identify with the Southern Gentleman. I am not perfect and constantly laugh at myself when I fall on my butt (which happens more frequently than I care to admit). Ask me about the Nash-Corona Tiffany vase some time. I know a little about a lot of things. I am very private and rather shy at times.I also have high visibility due to my profession, so I guess this means I like some quiet down time once in a while. I have a giant personality once I know a person well. I'm looking for the same- but with a little thicker skin above the genteel. Must be equally at ease at atelier or tacos el gordo, a blues bar or the philharmonic, an all-out party or a black-tie affair. I've experienced a lot in the last few decades, but I don't feel that I'm done looking and learning. I am fortunate enough to work doing the things that I love, even if the job gets difficult at times. I've achieved a lot of my dreams, and I am constantly working towards a better future. I have learned to work hard and play hard . The best times are when you can do both at the same moment. I have learned to remain optimistic and keep a sense of humor despite these tough times. I have many interests that keep me busy. I love music (of all types), learning, writing and reading. I love natural beauty, especially sunrises and that wonderful mix of ozone and pine smell that you get after amazing storms on the east coast. I can watch heat lightning, dust devils, and shadows on the mountains for hours out here. The desert relaxes me, and I find the heat comforting. I love saunas, hot springs, and schvitz baths. I love driving and cars- and not necessarily fast ones. I'm very passionate about art, food, and design, as my profession allows me to dabble in a lot of areas. I love it when a good form or composition takes my breath away. I love animals, especially mutts. I love running, and have begun trying to get down to my running weight again. I do like travel, especially when it is immersed in a culture, rather than a tailored hotel. I like boxing, and really can't get into anything else sports-wise. Something about strategy and psychology with a bit of luck, I suppose. I do not like large title fights, however, and prefer to watch up-and-coming fighters. I love children, although I do not have any (that I know of). Looking for a person who is intelligent and kind. Someone who knows what they want in life and isn't intimidated easily. Someone who has a passion they want to share. And someone who can compromise and see the power and wonder of a future as one. I'm looking for an elegant, quirky muse with a wicked sense of humor. Someone who understands the meaning of downtime on the sofa together and short intimate talks when times are busy. I don't like overt plastic surgery and prefer someone who wants to age with grace and dignity rather than vanity. Someone who wants (or has) a family (at some point) and wants to continue to experience life fully throughout our relationship together. Shared passion for life, learning, and experience is an absolute must. Not looking to dive in head first, yet. If you are looking for the beginnings of a great and lasting friendship, please contact me. If you have concerns about my separation status, please do not contact me. My divorce is taking some time. I figure that if I can't bring the right toys to the sandbox I shouldn't play. If you bring irrational fear to the sandbox I would prefer to move on. Fear is an annoyance in my life; Trust is way too important to mess around with.

Rep team off to flying start at Bendigo Country Week
Seniors and colts teams both win opening two games.GEORDIE COWAN January 23, 2013 4:48am
Goulburn Murray Cricket made the best possible start to its Bendigo Country Week campaign with wins for both its sides on the opening day.
The senior team played Benalla in the first round and, after winning the toss, decided to bat at Moon Oval in Rochester.
Openers Brendan Prendergast and Tim Maxfield (19) gave the team a good start, before Michael Hill joined Prendergast at the crease after a run out.
The pair's positive partnership set up the innings, with Hill falling for 37 and Prendergast for an eventual match-high of 64.
After losing a couple of middle-order wickets, late hitting by Tim Bubb (37 not out), Jake Perry (21) and Cameron Parker (22 not out) helped the team finish its 50 overs on 6/225.
The home side was on top throughout its bowling performance, with almost all bowlers snagging a wicket.
Adam Ward was the best performed with 3/10 from eight overs, while David Currie (2/8 from seven overs) and Dylan Cuttriss (1/7 from five overs) also impressed as Benalla was dismissed for 79, guaranteeing a 146-run win.
The team backed up its result with another solid win yesterday.
After winning the toss and bowling, Goulburn Murray dismissed Castlemaine for 145 with Parker busy behind the stumps, collecting four catches, while Cuttriss claimed 3/23, Liam Ringin took 3/13 and Ward 2/36.
In its reply, Prendergast again performed well to bat nearly throughout the day, finishing on 53, while Hill was again impressive with 37.
Cuttriss added 26 runs late in the innings, while coach Barry Findlay said he was looking forward to seeing Tim Maxfield bat for 20 or 30 overs.
''He scores in a hurry,'' he said.
The coach said he was pleased with how the players had performed in the opening two days.
''We have bowled and fielded pretty well,'' he said.
''It has been a good solid effort but it was a bit harder than (Monday).
''I would have liked to get the runs a bit earlier than we did (yesterday), but we finished really strong.''
However, Findlay warned his players of the greater tests it would face in the next two days.
''We have Murray Valley tomorrow (Wednesday) and Ferntree Gully on Thursday, so they will be a step up from what we have already played,'' he said.
Other results in the division saw Ferntree Gully upset Murray Valley by 10 runs on the first day, while Castlemaine lost to Gisborne by 81 runs in a high scoring game.
On the second day, Murray Valley smashed 7/346 from its 50 overs against Benalla, with centuries to Shaun Downie (144) and Luke Carter (111) while restricting its opposition to 4/154, while Ferntree Gully scored 7/220 against Gisborne.
■ The Goulburn Murray Colts side also enjoyed its start to the competition, winning against Northern District Colts at Windridge Oval in Rochester on Monday.
Playing in division three, Goulburn Murray was sent in to bat and the team made the most of its chance to build partnerships at every opportunity.
Quade Albert (21) and captain Brayden Stone added 37 runs for the first wicket, while Mitch McMullan and Stone put a further 72 runs on for the third wicket.
Stone eventually fell for 72, but Kirk Teasdale came in and scored a quick 32, while Curtis Townrow helped add 35 runs towards the end of the innings.
McMullan was the last man out for a well-made 53 as the team finished on 7/244.
Grant Wachter struck twice early to give his team an upper hand in Northern District's reply, but at 2/72 the game was in the balance.
However, the home side came back hard to take the final eight wickets for just 56 more runs, bowling out the opposition for 128.
Wachter starred with the ball with 4/22 from nine overs, while Zac Dearing was also influential, taking 3/31 from 10 overs.
The team maintained its form yesterday with a solid victory against Red Cliffs at Bagshot.
Led by wicket-keeper Daniel Major, who top-scored with 78, the team made 8/252 with handy knocks form Stone (46) and McMullan (43 not out).
The team then bowled out the opposition for 152 to secure the win.
''We have good young kids playing and everyone is sharing it around,'' senior player Kirk Teasdale said.
The team's final two matches will be against Northern United and Maryborough.
Other results in the division saw Grassmere claim a narrow 10-run win against Red Cliffs on Monday, while Maryborough defeated Northern United by 37 runs.
On the second day, Maryborough defeated Grassmere by 18 runs, while Northern United tallied 5/280 against Northern District, with Scott Lawry scoring an unbeaten ton.

In honor of the upcoming Veteran's Day celebrations, Redskins fullback Darrel Young spent his Tuesady at the Westin Hotel at Tysons Corner for the "Salute Our Heroes" luncheon." Young joined former Redskin Rick "Doc" Walker at the event, which was hosted for military members and their families. Events with veterans, or current military personnel, have special importance for Young, because his brother is in the military. "I'm a little more sensitive to those guys because I know what they go through," Young said. "Anytime people dedicate and devote their lives to this country I'm always willing to do stuff for them." While Young runs around on the football field for a living, his brother is always in the back of his mind. Young is well aware that there are more important things than football. "He's actually down in Fort Bragg, getting ready to be sent to Fort Hood Texas, probably going to have to get sent to Afghanistan next year, we'll see," Young said. Young's family is

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
Kit Hinrichs is one of the most accomplished and respected graphic designers and illustrators of the last fifty years. A master of corporate communications and a consummate visual storyteller, he has been awarded the highest honor in his field: the AIGA Medal. Formerly a partner in the legendary design firm Pentagram, he is reinventing himself (again) with a new endeavor called Studio Hinrichs. In this Creative Inspirations documentary, Kit shares highlights of recent projects, his renowned collection of American flags and American flag memorabilia, as well as the irrefutable wisdom of one who has stayed at the top of his game for five decades.
(Music playing) Kit Hinrichs: When people say "What does Pentagram do?" you go on the website and you start to look up any of this long list of things from any of the offices. We have done some very unique work for a lot of high profile companies, or we've made some companies who were there but no one paid attention to them, all of a sudden, be a little stronger.
Pentagram began in, now 35 years ago, in London. The reason that it was called Pentagram was because there were five partners at the time, three different disciplines: graphic design, product design, and architecture, which was also very unique at that time. This is the sixties. I was certainly influenced by them because of my first British partner who made me aware of these guys in London, who were doing interesting things, primarily in the UK and on the continent, but were starting to do things in the U.S. Then, of course, when they opened an office in New York, that also brought it closer to our world.
People asked me "Well, how long did it take you to decide?" - about 30 seconds, because here is a group of people who are the most admired designers in the world and they would like you to be their partner. It's pretty hard to turn that down. And also, we got invited to the dance, and so we were very happy to be part of it. That's another group of people, another exposure to an international group.
I learned from all of those people as well, because we spend twice a year, four or five days together, of which we teach each other. So I call them the world's smallest design conferences because we just were presenting the work that we did within that last period of time. My partner does a piece in Berlin or in Japan or in Buenos Aires, I am aware of what it is because they tell me, in first hand knowledge, how that was put together, how it worked, how it was received, what the problems were.
It's insider information, and so as a consequence, any one of my partners and certainly, I, grew dramatically from what I learned from my partners, because you really got to see the best of what was going on. You got to hear the excitement from your partners who are out there doing some of the best work in the world. At the point that I left Pentagram, I was the oldest partner in Pentagram, had been there the longest, not of all partners, but of the current group of partners.
Pentagram is an organization that evolved depending on the people who were part of it. Now that I am not there, there will be someone else to step up and do other things along the way, as it has always changed. So, I'll be interested in seeing, ten years from now, fifteen years now, how it has evolved and what its focus is at that moment.

Bernard Pollard may be headed to the Super Bowl with another Patriots pelt on his list of hard hits, but he'll also face a fine this time after a review of his play in the AFC Championship Game. Pollard decked Patriots running back Stevan Ridley in Sunday's game, forcing a fumble and further entrenching himself as a Patriots killer. (He was also responsible for the knee injury that sidelined Tom Brady for a year, the season-ending ACL injury to Wes Welker and the ankle injury that limited Rob Gronkowski in last year's Super Bowl.) Now Pollard is paying — but it's not for the Ridley hit. Instead, Pollard will have to give up $15,250 for a hit on Welker that also incurred a 15-yard penalty in Sunday's game, according to Pro Football Talk. It's little justice for Patriots fans, who would gladly pay the fine in exchange for a Super Bowl berth — or having Ridley keep possession on that other play. But it has to count for something that Pollard finally has to cough over some cash after decimating New England.

Great for a ski helmet liner!
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
I just bought this to use with my ski helmet, because the helmet has open vents. It's pretty thin so my snug-fitting helmet can easily fit over it, and it seems to be plenty warm enough. I really like that it's big enough to fit over my ears!
Courtney Dean
Big SKULL
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs large
The L/XL is a massive beanie for a huge noggin. I picked it up with a one size fits all hat from Arc'teryx and this one is super huge, the other is a bit tight. Not sure what their sizing system is. It's an excellent skull cap though for fitting under a helmet. The radius is good for my head. So the L/XL is pretty accurate there. But the depth of the beanie is tremendous. I think it was designed for a conehead or for someone with a mop of hair they need to keep under control.
Still works. I love it. It's stretch fabric allows you to grab and tug it to adjust without consequences - it'll stay mostly in place.
Like the review. Thanks. You might adjust the length of your poles so that the hand grips and your forearms are at a 90 degree angle to your upper arm. Maybe adjust your shoulder straps too. Then again, maybe it's your style. High crags and blue skies forever man! Trek on!
Courtney Dean
Poles do look low. I don't see any effect of turf in the photo and memory doesn't serve. Might be that I was just cresting a steep climb and had adjusted them for the up (instead of using those nice foam secondaries? Unsure.
The pack goes through a LOT of adjustments as teh day goes on. I seldom keep it in the same place for long. But that does look like it's hanging something fierce!
Phase me, bro
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I'm a Phase fan. I love the shirts so I got a Phase AR Hoody when they came out. Fantastic! Then I had to try the beanie. A couple of days after getting it I took it out for a little spin (26.2 miles). It was great. Large enough to cover the ears. Great for cool and cold weather aerobic activities because it provides warmth but you don't overheat easily. The construction is interesting. The stitching and four darts form a U-shape open at the forehead. Not sure exactly what that is designed to accomplish. Even with it pulled snug the darts tend to form little points, but I don't have any hair to fill it out, and it's certainly not as goofy looking as the 6-dart Rho LTW construction. I'm square in the Medium size range and bought a S/M; it seems slightly tight at times, but having it any looser might be a mistake. Slight qualms about the looks and sizing aside, it's a superb beanie because it's so light, is stashable anywhere, and, most of all, provides good temperature regulation.
Since I can't post my one star review for some reason, let me just say that this hat is very sheer, made of basic material and way over priced. Good hat for $10, rip-off for $35. I was expecting a lot more for the price.

BEIRUT: The University of Notre Dame graduated the first batch of students certified by FIFA and the International Center for Sports Studies in sports management Thursday, in a ceremony sponsored by the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
"The university [is] among 16 countries that offer this program, which equips students with the necessary tools to become leaders in the world of sports, whether it be through participation in sports federations, clubs or other activities," said the dean of the humanities faculty, Dr. Mary Angela Willis.
The graduation ceremony took place in Issam Fares Hall and was sponsored by the Youth and Sports Minister Brig. Gen. Abdul-Muttaleb Al-Hinawi.
According to FIFA, the sport management program was created with the aim of providing qualified students from all over the world with a comprehensive understanding of the social, economic and legal dimensions of sport.
A representative from FIFA, Vincent Mougne, said: "In order to strengthen the links between the International Center for Sports Studies and graduates of the program of sports management, we created a prize four years ago to reward the best collective work done between the partner universities," adding that the award includes a trip to Switzerland, visits to the International Centre for Sports Studies and FIFA's headquarters, in addition to a job laureate.
Mougne talked about a grant introduced three years ago, which allowed for former students in the FIFA program to finance their participation in the masters.
He said that, "over the years, we have succeeded in finding cooperation in the world of sports and among the members of our network. This collaboration opens up the sports world to our students, or at the very least, gives them a rewarding experience, and work is underway to strengthen these essential links."

From the start of his first year as coach of the Miami Dolphins, Joe Philbin stressed the need for steady improvement. Instead, a late-season tailspin has the team headed yet again in the wrong direction - toward a long offseason. The Dolphins (5-8) have lost five of their past six games, ensuring that for a fourth consecutive year they'll finish .500 or worse. Going into its game against Jacksonville (2-11), Miami is virtually assured of missing the playoffs for the 10th time in 11 years. Following a 27-13 loss Sunday at San Francisco, Philbin attributed the skid not to a lack of talent but to a ''lack of playmaking'' at critical times. ''It's correctable,'' he said Monday. ''There were some plays there to be made on both sides of the ball that we didn't do. There were some opportunities we didn't capitalize on.'' For the second straight week, the Dolphins remained in contention against a division leader until the final minutes. But against both the 49ers and New England Patrio...

this would be cool for motherboards
It would be really cool is passmark software would license out their memtest86 software to be incorporated into a motherboard's bios to run from instead of having to create a bootable drive. Since all motherboards need ram (duh?), why not? Since it would be licenses on such a high volume, passmark wouldn't have to charge so much for it's license. Also the reason why some motherboards with mainly pci-e have post code displays on their motherboards. Passmark, one of the main post code card manufacturer's along with others that I have read on the internet, can't get pci-e post cards to work. Hence why you haven't seen any pci-e post cards. Because not a lot of people can't remember every post code aside from the basics.
Re: this would be cool for motherboards
I think this would be a cool way to test memory, go into the Bios, and select mem test and the system re-boots and runs the test. That would be nice.

Saracens v Clermont - Live
80 CONVERSION, SARACENS, GOODE! 46-6 Fitting that Goode strokes home the touchline conversion, and Owens blows for full-time. The humiliation is over for Clermont, but Saracens have well and truly stepped up to the mark today. They were helped by luck, they were boosted by refereeing errors, but they have thoroughly deserved victory. An astounding game here at Twickenham, where the mighty Clermont Auvergne have been put to the sword. Thanks for joining us.
79 TRY, SARACENS, STREATHER! 44-6 The demolition is complete. Turnover ball, two phases, try-time. Easy as that for Sarries, as it has been for much of this game.
78 An eerie silence around Twickenham as Clermont try to attack from their own 22.
74 TRY, SARACENS, WYLES! 37-6 This is an embarrassment. Wyles strolls over after more great work from Chris Ashton. An absolute humbling.
73 Saracens take possession and will cruise their way through the last ten minutes.
71 Clermont have been awful, but Sarries' defence has been something else.
69 Entering the final twelve minutes or so, and Clermont win another scrum penalty. James boots down into the 22 and the Frenchmen look to score and restore some much-needed pride.
66 Goode wide with the conversion.
65 TRY, SARACENS, ASHTON! 32-6 The icing has been liberally slapped onto that cake now. Chris Ashton hacks through down the right-hand-side, keeps his cool, and grounds to bag another Heineken Cup try.
60 Burger again making the turnover and winning the penalty. Sarries now look to put the icing on the cake.
58 Sloppy from the Frenchmen, they spill the ball yet again. Dejected looks all-round from the Clermont fans here.
57 Clermont win a penalty and boot to the corner. They have to score here, you feel.
56 Scrum penalty Sarries on halfway...Bosch going for goal. He's got a mighty boot, the Argentine, let's see how he goes.
55 PENALTY, SARACENS, BOSCH! 27-6 Sarries stretch their lead with Bosch's lovely, lazy kicking style coming up trumps.
51 The tackle stats are flying thick and fast - Jacques Burger sitting on an incredible 21 tackles so far.
50 Saracens once more looking so fluent and so dangerous in attack, Billy Vunipola bullocks his way through the Clermont midfield, spins it wide and De Kock just loses possession ten metres out.
48 More controversy as Clermont are denied what appeared a clear penalty and Goode drills down into the 22 yet again. The French side attack from deep.
46 The hits flying in as Sarries have the ball back inside their own half.
44 Clermont survive with a penalty, and boot sixty metres down to the Sarries' 10m line. Big kick from James.
43 Great start to the half for Sarries. Clermont so flat. Lovely grubber to the corner from Bosch and Sivivatu gets bundled into touch on his own line.
42 We're back underway as Sarries kick-off, and win the lineout midway inside Clermont territory.
40 Teams back out for the second forty after an astonishing first half. Can Clermont pick themselves up? Or will Sarries keep up the pace?
40 There's the half-time whistle. The Premiership leaders are storming towards the Heineken Cup final at this rate. Controversy has reigned, but let that not detract from a super defensive display and a clinical offence from Saracens.
38 PENALTY, SARACENS, GOODE! 24-6 Three more points for this clinical Sarries side, and all of a sudden, they lead the mighty Clermont but 18 points with two minutes to go to half-time. Incredible stuff, crazy game.
35 Clermont going absolutely nowhere against this Sarries defence, and the Englishmen are racing into the 22 again with great gusto.
33 CONVERSION, SARACENS, GOODE! 21-6 What now have Clermont got in the locker to get back into this one?
32 TRY, SARACENS, FARRELL! 19-6 Sarries are riding their luck in a massive, massive way, but my word, what a first half for the Premiership leaders! Off Farrell's knee, he regathered and dotted down for an astonishing third try to Saracens.
32 Well...Farrell thinks he's scored here! The ball went forward, was it a kick or a knock-on?!
30 Scrum penalty gets Clermont out of jail in their own 22.
30 PENALTY, CLERMONT, PARRA! 14-6 For their recent ascendancy, Clermont have not broken Sarries' resistance. They trail by eight and spill from the kick-off, handing Saracens a great attacking position.
28 Another couple of breakdown penalties for Clermont in the Sarries 22. Borthwick is warned by Owens to watch his side's discipline. Clermont going for three points.
26 Brock James back on for Clermont who are in possession on halfway.
24 No try! That also looked harsh from Owens, but Saracens can clear.
24 Stanley has finally broken Sarries' resistance, but we're checking for obstruction in midfield. It looked like an infringement, we'll see what the TMO replays show.
23 In fact, no they're not, Parra clips it into the corner. Big chance to score while still down to 14.
23 Sarries cling on...Clermont win a penalty right on the line. They're going to tap!
21 Scrum penalty gets Clermont downfield and now it's their turn to attack with Lee Byrne making good yardage.
19 Sarries sweep forward in attack once again, Brits just bumps into the offside Botha, though, and Clermont have the scrum in their own 22. The French giants are on the ropes here.
17 Clermont going nowhere with ball in hand, so Parra rolls a beautiful box kick into the corner.
14 TRY, SARACENS, PENALTY TRY! 12-3 Unbelievably, Owens has awarded a penalty try! Sarries ride their luck, but suddenly they are 14-3 up with Goode's simple conversion!
13 Clermont absolutely suicidal in their own in-goal area! Parra caught on his line, Byrne charged down in the dead ball area, and James slaps the ball out of play. The TMO confirms it's a penalty, and Sarries with a chance to hit straight back. James is gone for ten.
12 PENALTY, CLERMONT, PARRA! 7-3 Clermont with a penalty chance for Parra from 40 metres, and over she goes. Good defence from Sarries, though, and in particular Brits flying up on the Clermont first-receivers.
10 CONVERSION, SARACENS, GOODE! 7-0 Alex Goode makes no mistake with his first kick off the tee, slots home from the touchline.
9 TRY, SARACENS, ASHTON! 5-0 Sarries have the lead! The first time either side has put some phases together, as Brits pulled the strings down the short-side to release Barritt. The centre's offload is excellent, and Ashton speeds home untouched. What a start for the English outfit.
5 Lots of early errors from both teams as passes are spilled. Clermont spurn decent field position with Fritz Lee's knock-on, and a super kick downfield from Farrell puts them right back into their own 22.
2 Decent start from Sarries, big Billy Vunipola making good yards from the kick-off. They have the game's first scrum on the Clermont 10m line.
Here we go! Nigel Owens blows his whistle and Brock James has semi-final number one underway.
The teams emerge to a fantastic reception here in the Twickenham sun. Kick-off moments away, this one will be massive!
News just in, and it's not good for the English side. Owen Farrell is struggling with a knock - he starts, but he will not be able to kick a goal. Alex Goode takes over the duties from the tee.
News just in, and it's not good for the English side. Owen Farrell is struggling with a knock - he starts, but he will not be able to kick a goal. Alex Goode takes over the duties from the tee.
For Les Jaunards, the return of Sitiveni Sivivatu to the starting lineup is a massive boost - he starts on the right wing with Lee Byrne at full-back. Skipper Aurelien Rougerie misses out, hard-hitting Kiwi Benson Stanley fills the void at outside centre. Julien Bonnaire captains the side from 6, as Damien Chouly and Fritz Lee shake off knocks that threatened to rule them out of today's game to start in the back-row.
Saracens start Argentine midfielder Marcelo Bosch in the outside centre position, partnering Brad Barritt . Neil De Kock gets the nod at scrum-half, while a bruising back-row comprises Billy Vunipola, Jacques Burger and Kelly Brown.
Hello, and welcome to live coverage from today's seismic Heineken Cup semi-final clash at Twickenham between Premiership leaders Saracens and the mighty French giants, Clermont. Kick-off is a little over half an hour away here, team news on its way shortly. Don't go away!

Forest action plans provide an analysis of forest conditions and trends in your area.
Find your state.
The U.S.
A strong storm system last weekend damaged thousands of trees in Mississippi. Forestry officials are still surveying the damage and calculating the potential loss to the state's timber industry.
According to a recent press release, the Alabama Forestry Commission (AFC) is facing a budget shortfall of more than $5 million for fiscal year 2011. In light of this projection, State Forester Linda Casey said the agency is reviewing its entire structure. The AFC will be forced to reduce staffing by nearly one-third, affecting all services provided by the agency, including wildfire protection.
USDA has announced the 2010 Forest Legacy Program (FLP) awards, which total $72 million, will help the program reach a total of over 2 million permanently protected acres across the country.
The Texas Forest Service and the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service in Texas have signed a Memorandum of Understanding. The MOU will strengthen cooperation between TFS and NRCS Texas by coordinating interagency delivery of forestry-related conservation assistance to private landowners in order to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Texas' private working lands – forestland, cropland, pasture, and rangeland.
The Hardwood Forestry Fund is cooperating with public natural resource agencies to offer sponsorship of ten new hardwood forests in four U.S. states. Project managers in Indiana, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia are gearing up to plant and manage more than 600,000 new trees this spring and fall. The Hardwood Forestry Fund is providing grants ranging from $2,500 to $12,000 to partnering organizations for tree planting and forest management. All projects are managed by foresters for multiple-use, including timber production.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has announced the availability of approximately $25 million in FY 2010 through its Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG). CIG projects are designed to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies. CIG, a component of NRCS's Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), is administered by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).
Larry Selzer of the Conservation Fund and NASF President Steve Koehn -- among others -- are quoted in a recent Washington Post feature story on conservation efforts focused on restoring forest ecosystems across the U.S. and whether the government and private interests can save the forest from "becoming suburbs and strip malls."
The Science Forum was convened March 29-30 by the USDA Forest Service in Washington, DC, featuring panel presentations on the latest scientific topics relevant to the development of the planning rule.
A new study published in Environmental Science and Technology found that widespread prescribed burns might have slashed fire-related carbon dioxide emissions in 11 Western states by an average of 18 to 25 percent between the years 2001 and 2008, and by as much as 60 percent in some forest systems.
The Service Mark for the National Association of State Foresters has been registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office as of April 11, 2000. The Service Mark and the name 'National Association of State Foresters' are registered at Reg. No. 2,340,477. Reproduction or use of the NASF logo without permission is prohibited.

Indy to the Grand Canyon. first trip & need guidance..
I am lost...
I got this R1100GS to take a trip of a life time, for me anyway. I have not spent any real time camping in my life and most of my motorcycling has been regional to say the least, it's time for me to see the USA.
As I said the bike will be a 1998 R1100GS rolling on Anakees, I do have a Garmin 2610, large tank bag, wolfman tank panniers, big lights and a decent tail bag in place of the rear pillion, and BMW system cases. I also have a rack behind the rear seat area to strap things down with a metal tool box mounted under that rack. So I think Ive enough space for stuff.
A pic.
I will need help in all areas for this, things like what to take, what kinda tent and sleeping bag etc.. I have been reading up on the basics like stoves and other equipment, so I wont rehash all of that now, but will read any comments. I will definitely try out my packing and my gear with a few weekend trips closer to home first.
Late spring 08 I would like to ride to the Grand Canyon as I have never seen it. I drove a truck 20 years ago and never got to see it and that has always bothered me, now I would like to ride to it and camp there a few days and ride around in the dirt and explore (is that allowed?), and I have questions.
I plan on taking the bigger roads till I get to Texas to save a bit of time. Interstate is doable, but 2 lane highway would be preferred. I have driven the US 40 route many (to many) times, but I don't mind doing it to save some time on the front end.
From TX on I would like to definitely stay on the 2 lane roads and see the countryside. I don't need an exact route, I am willing to be flexible and let the GPS keep me loosely on route but do not know where in the Grand Canyon to pick for a destination?
What should my destination be coming from the east to get a good view and some private time away from RV'ers and other campers but no so desolate that I cant get a cheap motel for a night if needed.
Anyone here done this trip from east of the Mississippi have any threads or tips to get me started on a plan?
I need some ideas on where good places are to stop and camp or cheap motels along the way that fit in with rider fatigue etc..
I really don't know where to begin, it seems I am lost before I even leave.

2) Travel in the US is simple, there are plenty of options for all bugets.
3) Buy a Randall Mc*** map, the biggest you can get at your local Wal Mart, Kmart Target o what ever it will costo you less than 10 USD and will give you tons of info on the general stuff,
4) If you feal like spending $30-50 then buy some software, I have the MS street and trips and it gives a lot of info on gas stations, hotels, camping and the like.
5) Go to sporting store and see everthing they have, take some brochures and read.
That is all to start you with. Others will tell you more I am so sure

the ten dollar atlas is good advice. it will show state parks with camping sites so you can figure out your target destination for the day in the morning or whenever, then adapt as the day unfolds.
you really don't need to plan ahead for each stop. you look at the map and target a camp groud or a town of you want a room. just don't wait until you're bleary-eyed to call it a day.
the atlas also shows a lot of scenic routes.
get off the interstate in MO/AR to play in the Ozarks.
South Rim and North Rim are the destinations. South Rim is more civilized and may be best for your first camping trip. do not plan to get a hotel room at the last minute near the Grand Canyon. if you expect to need one, book in advance. rooms are cheaper in Page, might be a good stop the day before or after the Canyon.
google "national park service" and click to the GC pages.
the best way to explore the GC is not by bike on dirt roads, it is by foot on dirt paths. get some hiking boots, a hat and a camelbak.
get a 2-person tent, not a single or bivy. you need room for your stuff.
camping in national parks is fairly comfortable and painless. they have all of the amenities; hot water (you may have to pay in quarters) and laundry.... some state parks are similar, some are primitive.
you don't have to cook while camping. i never cook. it saves money, though.
you may have more storage space than you need. keep it simple. don't bring the house.
go one way, return another way. see different stuff.
go to Utah. if you have time, those national parks are worth a stop.
if you can go before Memorial Day, you will not regret it.
be flexible.
most importantly, relax. it's not as daunting a task as it seems. enjoy the planning. enjoy the ride.

Grand Canyon, Az.
Not sure of your entry to Texas, but if you want two ways, one in and one out. Try to get to Las Cruces, NM (maybe 180 out of Minneral Wells?) and over to Clifton, Az up 191 (525 switchbacks in 100 miles) up to 260 and over to Payson, Forest Hwy 3 to Flagstaff and 180 to the South Rim.
The Grand Canyon Village is the main area on the rim, Tusayan is the village 8miles south. Rooms abound, expensive and sometimes full months in advance. Flagstaff almost always has rooms. 2000 available at the canyon area. Camping tough too.
Exit is via 64 to Cameron, 89 to 160 to Durango, Co. approx. 300 miles, and home from there. If you have the time 550 to 50, 285 etc. to Denver et al.
Off of 160 go to Monument Valley and Bluff and back roads to Aneth, Ismay and Cortez. Temps in N. Az are similer to SW Colorado, ie. Durango, as elev. is 7000' at GCNP.

It seems the north rim may be a shorter ride, but it is only open after May and is farther north and thus probably cooler in the early months... I gota ask, is it possible to just camp without having to worry about where and when? I mean to say do I have to conform to park guidelines or can I primitive camp on my own? From what I read ya gota have reservations just to camp in-season? That is not at all appealing... I really want to go where the day takes me, park my bike and set up tent. Is this possible within eyesight of the canyon anywhere?

From Mem. Day to Labor Day things are always full, and mostly from where ever Easter falls to the end of October. However, there are Nat Forests adjoining the park on either side (Kaibab N.F.) and camping is permited, fire permits needed, and usually fire threats in the seasonal times prevents a lot of this. The chances are good that you'll be fine, and I say go for it. Just remember it is REALLY popular. I lived on the S. rim for 14 years, but have always liked the North Rim. And camping in various spots there, Demonte, Jacob Lake are available too. Have fun.

I am going to get a large map for the wall and start to sort out what I want to see on the way, I don't want to fly by everything of interest. Once I get past the TX panhandle I want to slow it down and enjoy it. I have no real passion for north TX or OK (BTDT). I may do the 44 to 40 run till I get into NM and try to go 2 lane and then take a different northern route back. I am going to spend the winter searching for a tent and other bits, and working on a route. I wonder how much time I should leave for this? Two weeks should do it without feeling like I am being rushed... Or should I take 3?
Stay tuned, as I may (OK will) have questions!

Just some random thoughts:
If you find yourself coming thru NM into the east side of AZ, see if you can include the Oak Creek Canyon area is just north of Sedona. Highway 89A to be specific. It's a touristy zoo during weekends and peak season, but it's a really relaxing place to camp during the week. Clear running river, incredible views, wooded, etc. Lot's of cheap, small, state run camprounds to pick from.
There are lots of shortcuts in dirt in AZ, most are perfect GS roads. Should you find yourself coming thru Payson heading east, a road called fossil creek runs out of Strawberry and goes to Camp Verde. It joins pavement close to another dirt road that will whiz you straight at Sedona, and by another great spot to camp known as Clear Creek/ Bullpen. These roads will be shown in those map books the previous poster linked.
Lots of great places in AZ, not far from the Grand Canyon. Jerome, Crown King, etc

I have to wonder why you're going to be in Texas if you're travelling from Indianapolis, Indiana to Northern Arizona... You don't "need" to be any farther South than Interstate 40 to get there...
Personally, for a Southern route, I would use US-412 from Tulsa Westward and stay off I-40... If you're taking slab from Indy, through St. Louis and towards Tulsa, a side trip into NW Arkansas would be well worth an extra day of your time.
*Head South at Springfield, Missouri. Loop through the Ozarks, then catch US-412 West. You'll be on US-412 all the way to New Mexico... Camp at Black Mesa State Park near the Western end of Oklahoma's panhandle.
*In New Mexico, take US-64 West. It's a GREAT ride across Northern New Mexico. You could camp in Carson National Forrest campgrounds.
*Running US-64 will allow you to check out SE Utah's Canyonlands. It terminates near the Four Corners. You can primitive camp near Mexican Hat, Utah. Muley Point, Valley of the Gods...
*As far as the Grand Canyon goes, the North Rim is in a different climate zone than the South Rim. If you're wanting quiet and privacy, go to the North Rim. On the other hand, there is some cool stuff to see at the South Rim... As mentioned above, you will not find any OHV trails inside the canyon. Take your hiking boots.
*As a return trip, you should really consider running UT-12 past Bryce Canyon, over the Grand Staircase to Boulder or Torrey. Motel accomodations are affordable there. Also, there is camping at Capitol Reef...
*Pick US-40 or US-50 for your return trip across Colorado and either US-24 or US-50 across Kansas. I-70 ain't much fun...

If you are planning I40 anyway...
I would highly recommend doing old route 66 and skipping much of the freeway.
Yes it means a full day to get through OK but its worth it. MI and OK on the old route are tons of fun!
My buddy and I took the original RT66 trip this summer starting in Indy and it was a blast. Since it will get you where you are going anyway you may want to consider it.
Since we are local for the price of a beer or two we can give you the rundown and some GREAT maps (we will want back when you are done!) to get you there.
I was in Vegas on business this year and rode out to the canyon for the first time. It was truly awe inspiring and I plan to go many more times. If you are interested send me a PM.

a few years ago, a buddy and i did a similar trip, NC to GCNP. i had to squeeze it into two weeks, so we spent the first two days on i-40. that pretty much sucked but it was the price we had to pay. at the end, it was a bit of a hustle to get back, but there were other factors as well (events to attend... and a hurricane).
had i three weeks to take, i would have taken three weeks.

One day, right after masturbating, I was in that euphoric state of relaxation after climaxing standing still holding the tissue that I just came in. Before I had time to react a fly flew into my room and landed in the cum. It drowned. 'Twas my finest moment.
