How are the picks so far? SU: 52-11 ... ATS:
SEC Fearless Predictions, Week
Part 1
SEC Saturday,
Oct. 27
Miami University
(4-4) at Vanderbilt
Why to watch: The two teams
take a break from their conference
schedules as they each look for a win to
get that much closer to bowl
eligibility. For Vanderbilt, this is a
must-win with at Florida, Kentucky, at
Tennessee and Wake Forest to close
things out. It'll take a minor miracle
to win two of the last four, but getting
one, to get to six wins, is more than
possible, and now the Commodores are
confident after stunning South Carolina
17-6 in Columbia last week. At the
opposite end of the spectrum is Miami,
who's leading the MAC East race but lost
to Temple last week. As crazy as this
might sound, MU has a showdown with
Buffalo next week, but could use this
win to get back on track after losing to
the Owls.Why Miami University might win:
Miami should be able to load up against
the run and turn out fine. Vandy might
have one of the nation's best receivers
in Earl Bennett, but it's struggling to
get the passing game consistently going
averaging just 167 yards though the air.
The Commodores win on defense, forcing
mistakes, and opportunistic offense, so
if the RedHawks can avoid key turnovers
and use its big advantage in the punting
game to win the field position battle,
they could make this a battle. Vandy
doesn't score, putting up just 41 points
over the last three games, but ... Why
Vanderbilt might win: ... it's not
like MU is lighting up the scoreboard.
Even with a 47 point outburst against
Bowling Green two weeks ago, the
inconsistent RedHawk offense is only
averaging 20 points per game. This is an
inefficient attack that gets passing
production in spurts. Vandy's excellent
corners should be able to keep the deep
plays under wraps, while the front line
should have little trouble generating
pressure into the backfield. Who to watch:
It's not necessarily a positive that a
corner makes plenty of tackles, but
Vandy's D.J. Moore has done it all with
53 stops, good for second on the team,
and has picked off five passes. A
do-it-all playmaker, he's averaging over
27 yards per kickoff return while also
getting a few carries on offense. Coming
off an eight tackle, two interception
day against South Carolina, he'll be
avoided as much as possible by the MU
offense.What will happen:
Vanderbilt can't afford to letdown
against anyone. Miami's defense is
playing well enough to give the
Commodore offense from exploding, but
the offense won't be able to take
advantage of several prime chances.

(0-7) at Arkansas
2:00Why to watch:
Arkansas takes a week off from the SEC
schedule after finally getting its first
conference win of the season in a 44-8
domination of Ole Miss. With a rough
final four games against South Carolina,
Tennessee, Mississippi State and LSU,
with the battles against the Vols and
Tigers away from Fayetteville, the Hogs
need to use this apparent layup to get
the backups some work and hope for an
easy win. FIU is on a 19-game losing
streak, but has improved a bit over the
last few games. This is a payday for the
school, and it hopes to be competitive
for more than just a few drives.Why
Florida International might win:
It's all about the letdown factor.
Arkansas is simply looking to show up,
win easily and move on before dealing
with South Carolina. The Golden Panthers
have an aggressive defense that's decent
at getting into the backfield and should
be able to come up with a few plays
behind the line. The passing game has
picked up over the last few weeks and
should be able to throw it around a
little bit if the Hogs aren't bringing
their full intensity.Why Arkansas might win:
The Golden Panthers struggle against the
run. Four teams have been able to crank
out 200 yards or more, as FIU lacks the
defensive front to handle the Hog O
line. Arkansas got stuffed by Auburn,
but has rolled on everyone else,
cranking out rushing yards in chunks and
being every bit as good as everyone
expected it to be. FIU will try to load
up to slow down Darren McFadden and
Felix Jones, but QB Casey Dick has
thrown well in the easy wins, completing
11 of 17 passes with three touchdown
passes against the Rebels.Who to watch:
Of course McFadden is a superstar of the
highest order, and a possible top five
draft pick if he chooses to enter the
NFL Draft early, but more and more, the
scouts are starting to pay special
attention to Jones, a speedster of the
highest order as both a runner and a
kickoff returner averaging 9.5 yards per
carry and 31.6 yards per kickoff return.
Despite not getting more than 16 carries
in any game this year, he has five
100-yard games and a 96-yard day. While
he might not be a workhorse this week,
he might get a chance to see a bit more
work in what should be a blowout.What will happen:
Arkansas will be able to go through the
motions and still come away with the
easy win. FIU simply doesn't have enough
scoring pop to make this close.

Ole Miss
(2-6) at Auburn
6:00 GamePlanWhy to watch:
If there's an award for the nation's
best 5-3 team, it has to go to Auburn
after losing in heartbreaking fashion to
both South Florida and LSU. Fine, so
there's that matter of the home loss to
Mississippi State, but the team has
played far better over the last five
games and still has a shot at a special
season by winning out. Before dealing
with Georgia and Alabama, after the
light scrimmage against Tennessee Tech,
the Tigers have to get past an Ole Miss
team that can't seem to catch a break.
0-5 in conference play, the Rebels
battled hard against Alabama and
Florida, but were obliterated by Georgia
and Arkansas. It's a stretch to suggest
a win this week would turn things
around, but with Northwestern State and
Mississippi State still to play, there's
a chance for a nice flourish if they can
pull off the upset. Auburn is 12-2
against the Rebels since 1993.Why
Ole Miss might win: You'll have to
forgive Auburn if it eases up on the
throttle. After an emotional revenge win
over Arkansas, and the heartbreaker
against LSU, it might be next to
impossible to gear it up for a date with
the league's worst team. As good as the
Tigers might be, Mississippi State
showed that crazy things do happen,
especially after a tough loss. The 19-14
Bulldog upset came on the heels of the
USF shocker, and all this week, Auburn
has been buzzing about the LSU ending
more than Ole Miss game. The Rebels
might not be solid on either side of the
ball, but Auburn's offense, while
improved, isn't always sharp. The Rebels
have to pounce on every opportunity, and
if they come into Jordan-Hare fired up,
they might be able to pull off a
Mississippi State.Why Auburn might win:
The defense continues to play
tremendously well. It took everything in
the bag, and a strange, but successful,
final play call for LSU to win last
week, and before that Auburn was able to
keep Florida, Vanderbilt and Arkansas to
a total of 31 points. The run defense
has been fantastic all season long, but
the three losses came on the three worst
days against the run. Against USF, MSU
and LSU, the Tigers struggled started
giving up passing yards after the run
defense had a few problems. It's not
like they were steamrolled over, only
allowing 135 yards to the Bulls, 172 to
the Bulldogs, and 169 to the Tigers, and
Ole Miss isn't getting much from its
ground game. Auburn should be able to
stuff BenJarvus Green-Ellis and the
running game, meaning it'll be up to ... Who to watch:
The quarterback situation at Ole Miss
continues to be a major problem even
this late in the season. Seth Adams was
starting to look like a possible
playmaker who could make the Rebels a
dangerous team against the league's big
boys. And then he started to struggle
with his decision making. Accurate for
the first half of the year, he struggled
over the last three games with ten
interceptions, including four against
Arkansas on a 9-of-21, 79-yard
performance that forced the coaching
staff to go with Brent Schaeffer for a
stint. Schaeffer once again showed he's
not an SEC caliber quarterback, and
Adams is once again the starter.
However, he's on a short leash and will
get pulled early if he makes any big
mistakes.What will happen:
Ole Miss will throw its best game at
Auburn in what'll turn into a tough
defensive struggle. The Tigers will win
the game by winning the turnover margin.

Aion: Assault Balaurea Re-Review
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion
I played Aion at the Start and was forced to leave the game 6 months later as all my friend list became offline and 50+ ppl guild became offline as well. After 1.9, I restarted with couple of friends but left the game after 2.2.
My initial "joy" of the game was the PvP part only. I'm no grinder and I don't like its PvE content. I played many MMO (AOC,WOW,RIFT,TERA,SWG, etc) and by comparison Aion's PvE is a drag and not fun. The quests are mostly still "time-wasters" and there's "no fun" in them at all.
Gearing is also a little bit illogical. With its current curve, in order to be competitive you're forced to gear 30 level PvP items to your 50 level toon and then do mindless PvE dungeon to get PvP gear. That's the part, I hated most actually: doing PvE to get PvP gear. This is still the main problem of the game as the BEST PvE grinders BECOME the BEST PvPers because GEAR = WIN.

Thank for this awesome project. I don't need to buy winrara to unrar the file then i like to user 7z because it reduce more effective than winrar

Can 7-zip be neater and more beautiful?
User Reviews
Simple Superb Effective & Compresses better than Winrar
Hands down the best compression utility on the market! The features are smart, it doesn't get in the way, and you can't beat the price.
this works very well on Windows 8.1, you will need to manually make the file associations. some advanced archiving features are missing, but it is difficult to find a decent free extractor for windows. look no further.
I don't know what to say, except great software.
Excellent program, the best for mine opinion. But please add in every download of installers SHA-1 sum to check integrity. All the best for you 7-Zip project. GOGO
Best free compressor ever made
A fantastic archiver for Windows plus full support for most nix's with p7zip
The best free zip program bar none.
perfect, better than winrar! Deserve 5 stars, I'd give even 10! Please, I would love if you could compress files in .RAR archives ... although it would be pretty useless, since there are already .7Z . thank you for reading this comment-review, and I apologize for my English. :)
Perfect! Just *please* add the support to RAR-5 archives...
This program should come with all versions of Windows. It's excellent in every way.
Fast, reliable, clean interface, no frillies. Better than any other similar win application IMHO.
Way better than winzip or winrar - will never go back!!
Still no RAR5 support.
Bloody marvellous.
Muito bom.
I've given this 4 stars Because I HAD to give it SOMETHING... I'm (Virtually) a Complete beginner to the internet And I've got some 'compressed'/'zipped' files/folders in my (Win7 32 bit) "My Documents" & I Think I've read Somewhere that installing this Will help me 'Open' (ie read) them - I HOPE I was right - Cos I Really dont know WHERE to begin my studies/learning.... :) - I Dont know How to contact 'support'..... :( Thanks
Very verstile and useful
The program is just 1 MB. It opens a lot of types like .rar, .zip, tgz... I only miss the format .ace, but it is not very popular. I have been using 7zip for several years with Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8 in 32 and 64 bits without problems. I have compressed files up to 25 GB.
should add file association when installed, other then that five stars
@botenannie If you are having difficulty with 7zip and Windows, you have a problem with your machine. I have been using 7zip for several years on a variety of hardware and Windows OS and never had anything other than great performance.
@botenannie: Don't know what you are talking about... we are using 7-Zip on hundreds of Windows 7 PCs (x32+x64) without any problems. 7-Zip is fast, lightweight and free, so I'll give 4 Stars
This program is a piece of shit. Didn't open basic files or basic operations. If it doesn't work for Windows 7, it should say so.

Recently I found from this that a visa is not at all required to travel from India to Jamaica. Does that mean I can travel directly to Jamaica with only my passport?
Can anyone clarify why a visa is not required for Indian citizens especially to some countries like Haiti, Nepal, Bhutan, Jamaica, Mauritius, and St. Kitts? Why are these countries allowing people without any visa?

A supporter of Egypt's ousted President Mohammed Morsi raises his poster with Arabic that reads, 'no to the coup', during a protest in front of the supreme constitutional court in Cairo, Egypt, Monday, Nov. 4, 2013.

The trial of ousted Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi adjourned almost as quickly as it began Monday after a defiant Morsi rejected the charges against him and asserted his claim that he remains the "legitimate president" of the country.
Egyptian security officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss the proceedings said the trial would resume Jan. 8, allowing defense lawyers to review the new documents in the case.
Morsi, Egypt's first freely elected leader, is charged along side 14 senior Muslim Brotherhood officials, with inciting violence ...

Lionel Messi was carried off on a stretcher with an apparent knee injury as Barcelona was held to a 0-0 tie by Benfica in a Champions League match on Wednesday night. With Barcelona already assured of advancing to the second round, Messi entered as a reserve in the 58th minute. The three-time FIFA Player of the Year collided with Benfica goalkeeper Artur in the 85th minute and was in obvious pain from his left knee. Messi has 84 goals for Barcelona and Argentina this year, one shy of Gerd Mueller's 40-year-old record for most goals in a calendar year for club and country.

neat lil stove
This lil snow peak stove fits well in my gsi halulite minimalist pot with a small fuel canister, and still more room. I love the igniter and flame pattern, only down side is even in a light breeze the flame is cut down to almost half. When used with snow peak fuel flame controll and boil tome are both impressive, although when used with other fuels it becomes hard to dail flame down. Id reconmend this stove to anybody who wants a versitile canister stove that folds up tiny but has big performance.

The first major step in revitalizing Williston's downtown area moved one step closer Tuesday when the city council voted to proceed with the purchase of Block 12.
The property, located behind Main Street and its block of businesses, is about 1.85 acres, contains 19 parcels and is owned by 10 people.
By ASHLEY McDOUGAL
Bronson town council members skirted controversy regarding an old backhoe belonging to the town at previous meetings, but finally came to a resolution of the issue on Monday night.
The Williston Red Devils are looking for a repeat of last year's State Championship and may be well on their way, as they clinched the District title last week by defeating in-county rivals, the Chiefland Indians 2-1. Austin Langworthy recorded 14 strikeouts in the game that saw the Distict trophy come back to Williston again. The Red Devils (24-2) will take on Crescent City (8-12) Tuesday, May 5 at 7 p.m. in a regional semifinal game on the home field.
What started as a domestic dispute between a Williston couple April 19, ultimately led law enforcement officers on an investigation into child pornography.
According to the Levy County Sheriff's Office, the wife of John Lawson Fullbright, 30, allegedly found child pornographic images on her husband's phone. The wife refused to give Fullbright his phone and called law enforcement.
Upon arrival at the residence, officers took possession of the phone but were unable to arrest Fullbright, who had fled into neighboring Marion County.
Is a bird in the hand worth two in the bush? Or should Williston city leaders go probing in the vegetation to look for a better deal?
Longtime Williston High School teacher and former Levy County School Board member Robert Philpot is being memorialized with the renaming of County Road 316 between U.S. Highway 41 and Southeast 8th Street as "Robert Philpot Way."
Six apartments at Williston Arms were evacuated around 10:35 p.m. April 15 when one of those apartments caught fire.
When Williston Fire Rescue arrived on the scene, the apartment was fully involved with fire in the roof and speading throughout the attic area to other apartments.
A few years back when Joe Mixon asked the city of Williston to annex his 57-plus acres of land on 50th Street, he had a dream of selling that property to an Ocala developer for a subdivision.

Just what I hoped it would be.
Sue from Palmyra, VA – Verified Buyer
It took me 2 months to find the perfect rug for our new home. This rug has just enough background to make the living-room come together. I am very happy with this, and the runners I bought at the same time. I'll be shopping here first for home goods!

Oddometer: 1,816
Not long after I pull in, sooo does "Parepin"... we both have thrashing to do on our bikes. Valve adjustments, air filters, tire swaps etc.. He had alot to do so as he thrashed I kept myself busy too... oh and i actually talked him into ditching the John Deere muffler he has been using since I met him riding to Alaska in 2010 hahaha... I had an extra LeoVince X3 sooo he bolted that on too.
I don't remember what all he had goin' on ALOT!... but that we worked till 3-4a.m. then had to head for Imnaha, then the Rally/Enterprise.
I needed to make a fender brace like I saw on "Collarbones" DR out in Minnesota last month... my DR Fender on the new front fork setup had been hitting the tire everytime I railed on it in the rough stuff, slowly grooving the fender lip to the curve of a knobby.
I used a flat sheet of aluminun Wayne had in the back room, instead of a pair of alum bars like Collarbone had used. Wanting the lower profile to give me lotsa tire clearance, the adhesive and rivets would/should keep it all from sagging down again.
Traced out the shape...
Bedded it with the "Right Stuff Adhesive rubber" clamped it, drilled it, riveted it... and wallaaaaa, a fender brace that won't interfere with my tube/patch kit bag.
Here you can see the new T63 Michelin
peeking under the fender...(Trying this tire now since I will be covering ALOT of miles in the next month ~alot of slab too~ and would like to find another option in the knobby category) I had taken off the 606 front with 4,350mi on it, and figure it could have gone another 500mi. This due to my new procedure of swapping the front around at the 1,800-2,500mi mark, much longer wear:)
I'm very happy with this mileage, as I could only pull 2,950mi before starting to swap them around.
The front 606 just before pulling it off...
Only the front two rivets will show from under the fender bag... I like the mechanical look anyhow.
Amazingly as Alex pointed out.. it only took me 45min to find the scrap, cut it, pull the fender, install and put it all back togather! WoooHooo
We were coming to realize.. once again... thaaat we ARE ALWAYS late to Rally's.. at least I AM!!! And I seem to be rubbing off on him hahaha.
So after the latye night/early morning thrash we get some shuteye then head for Imnaha... I want to take him up the Snake to Heller Bar then up Joseph Creek to Horse Creek and then Forestry roads into Imnaha. I had been trying to do it all last Spring/Summer buuuut the snow had kept stopping me, this is a chance to finish the journey...

PUNXSUTAWNEY — Gov. Tom Corbett professed his early spring preferences just prior to Punxsutawney Phil's 126th annual prognostication early Thursday morning at Gobbler's Knob, but as history has shown, the Seer of Seer relies on nothing else except than his own instinct.
The result, as read by Vice President Mike Johnston: "As I look at the crowd of Gobbler's Knob, many shadows do I see; so six more weeks of winter it must be."
When asked if he was pleased with Punxsy Phil's prognostication, Corbett replied, "No. Now we've got to get PennDOT ready."

33 year old woman | Dallas, TX, USA | Seeking men 32-38 within 50 miles
Looking for someone special
Moved to Dallas from Miami last year. I love my job and the city so far but haven't had too much of a chance to get out and meet people outside of work and am looking forward to meeting someone warm and fun to spend time with and get to know better. Im outgoing, love to laugh and am told I have a quick sense of humor. Friends and family are incredibly important to me and although my family is scattered all over the world, we are very close. Im a pediatrician and just recently finished fellowship training and am still getting used to actually having free time for the first time in years! However, Im sure Ill find things to do to fill all this newfound leisure time as I love reading and music, am a movie buff and enjoy exercising. Im not really one for the nightclubs but enjoy going out with close friends just as much as relaxing at home with Chinese takeout. Also I love watching all kinds of sports, although basketball has become my favorite- I think I actually have minor withdrawal when the NBA season draws to a close every year. Besides this, I love travelling and have a whole bucket list of places I absolutely have to visit sometime! Im hoping to meet someone caring, reliable and loyal, and it certainly wouldn't hurt if he has a sense of humor and can easily appreciate the lighter side of life:) If you think that we have anything in common, Id love to hear from you!

Best price for iPad 24/24/2013
Happy with it. No instruction, but I can go online and download that. Very light, thin, and attractive. Love it.
Apple's Name Guarantees the Best Quality!4/23/2013
Nice, Attractive, Light Weight, and Does What I expected to get from iPad 2.
Speedy shipping4/18/2013
Product was received faster than I have normaly received from other vendors taking account the free shipping. An excellent item at a very good price. Would buy from this vendor again.
Not previously owning an iPad I did not know what to expect purchasing the iPad 2. After using it for weeks though, I can honestly say it is perfect and has no problems that I can comment on. After purchasing a wireless keyboard, I plan on completely replacing the computer with this tablet. Netflix and other amenities are great as well. I would get black though, I see the white becoming faded and not as clean looking after a while.
Happy customer4/1/2013
My first iPad and I find it to be a great product...I love it!!!!!!

Great product! I love it very much! I highly recommend this to other people! You should also use this website because it absolutely amazing! I mean really, do you see these prices? Great deals and amazing service! Thank you so much buy.com! Anyways, you should really get this product!
Great Price, Great Product8/30/2012
When I saw that I could have a new iPad2 for the price of some refurbished ones - I knew I had to jump on that deal. I had tried to purchase an iPad from different vendors, but they always sent an excuse of why I wasn't going to receive my product. DSA came through and I had the iPad in my hands a very short amount of time later. Highly recommend using this vendor.
ipad refurbished8/22/2012
I have enjoyed my ipad and my children loves it too.
I love it a lot8/11/2012
I have had the white ipad 2 for months now. and i cant imagine life without it.. I love it so very much that i would pay an extra hundred for it now to be able to buy it. My entire family loves it too! I reccomend buying it from buy.com! I wish more people could see these great deals.
The best tablet5/10/2012
Ipad is the best tablet in market with thousand of applications and It has a perfect screen
Better than ipad 15/1/2012
I just got it 2 weeks ago. Apple's iPad 2 is dramatically thinner and boasts front and rear cameras, FaceTime video chat, a faster processor.
nice ipad4/21/2012
This Ipad is really nice. its my first ipad so i dont know the difference between the first ipad and this one. This one has a really clear screen. easy touch. quick response, nice color, nice webcam, overall excellent.
It's a great product but the sell used item3/28/2012
The ipad 2 is very light and easy for use.
Great ipod seller!3/8/2012
I placed an order and everything ( shipping, shipping time, email notification, item) was top star
cheat seller3/6/2012
I buy 2 new ipad 2 from this seller,but they are all used,not new.
Be patient3/1/2012
I have one of these and I enjoy it a lot. This price drop is very small and only the beginning. If you can exhibit a little patience the price will fall like a stone over the next six months or so. But whatever you decide this tablet is a clear winner.
i like it ,best for my use .
Best one2/15/2012
This is best thing ever . Its just like an ipod touch but the screen is alot bigger, its faster and u could do the data plan for it . I would say if a person gets this ipad they wouldnt need to get an laptop cuz this is like a touchscreen laptop. This is better than a lapotp.
Love it!12/1/2011
I bought the Ipad 2 as an early family christmas present. We looked at lots of other tablets and for what we wanted to use it for the ipad was our top choice. It is very easy to use and there are a ton of free apps for it. The only bad thing I can say about it is that the screen is actual glass and can break easily. The day after we recieved it, our daughter dropped it and the whole screen cracked - not covered under the warranty. We looked online and apparently breaking the screen is a common thing with these. Alot of people stated they barely dropped theirs and the screen broke. We ended up taking it to an apple store and had to pay more $$ to get a replacement ipad. Now we are very nervous about the screen breaking again.
Great quality for a good price11/26/2011
I will admit that the cameras on the iPad 2 are not the greatest but I have to admit that the iPad 2 is so much faster and thinner than the first generation. The iPad 2 is FAST. Apps open instantaneously and it is a sleek machine. I have a hard time putting it down. I realize that the iPad 3 will probably have some major upgrades but if you have waited for the iPad 2 just get one and enjoy it. It is the best tablet out there! Where the iPad falls short is in the area of productivity. Much discussed, and a sore point, is the lack of a USB port. In todays day and age, that is almost an unforgivable sin. I did get the hook up so I could download my pictures (it works too - and, again, it does it so fast and so effortlessly that it is a minor miracle). There is something almost childish in the decision not to include at least one USB port especially after the loud fracas that happened after the release of the first iPad. FLASH is another sore point and, frankly, one that I don't understand. There is some conflict going on with the world of APPLE and flash so we don't have it. This makes it very difficult to surf the web. Safari is quick but without flash, it misses one of its major components. Again, and this is just my feeling, this is something that could have been corrected quite easily - starting a year ago with the original. Now, the iPad 2 (and the original version, I'm sure) can still do quite an amazing amount of work without these two features but as they are considered standard, it is a puzzle as to why the iPad 2 did not have both of them installed. Also, the lack of a port decreases the iPad's place in the workforce. Also the coupon and the 6x points made the deal even sweeter for me.
The quality of apple products are amazing and for the competitors like samsung tab and motorolla IPad has the best value0 Helpful | 1 Not Helpful
Best tablet there is!9/17/2011
The iPad 2 is crazy fast and responsive, you touch something and it loads right away. There's never a time I feel the iPad is sluggish or that I'm waiting to long for something to happen, everything just works. You don't need to fiddle with settings you just plug and go. The available apps are the whole reason you would choose an iPad. If you enjoy playing games for instance it has the best games you can get out of the tablets. In terms of exclusive apps this has all of them whereas other tablets don't have any exclusive games. Even if you don't game I enjoy using Garageband to work on basic melodies while I'm out of the house. If you're thinking about getting a tablet I would highly recommend an iPad. It doesn't crash, the battery lasts 10 hours, free iCloud storage coming for your files, wireless syncing, and exclusive apps make this the easiest choice!1 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful

Book Reviews
a day on which to pay honor to Miguel Hidalgo the leader who
tried to free Mexico from tyranny with his "Grito de Dolores"
and on December i2 the manifestations of faith and honor to
"Our Lady of Guadalupe" are all vividly told as Polycarpo and
Felicidad participate.
The stories of life in early San Antonio are not neglected. The
story of royalty, most of which has disappeared, and the customs
and medicines of today are brought out. The simplicity of a
faith that, at times, nears the danger line of superstitution is not
scorned nor rebuked, but the story is told as it appears to the
Mrs. Waugh's book is by far one of the best of the vast num-
ber of volumes on San Antonio. And since life is not static, so
it is with the customs. They change with the surrounding life
and it may be that with the advancement of economic condi-
tions, the progress of everyday life and education may bring
the newer generations out from the "bottom of the pile" and
that, although the memories will be retained, active participation
may cease.
We are glad that the author has added to our history and lore
a contribution that will always sympathetically and vividly keep
a record of part of the real life of the people. The Silver Cradle
is a valuable piece of Texana.
The interesting pen and ink drawings which form the decora-
tions for the text were done by Bob Winn of the San Antonio
McNay Art Institute. They add considerable charm to the book.

Many persons interested in Texas and Southwestern history
will add The First Hundred Years in Cooke County to their
shelves with scarcely a thought about its production problems,
and others may criticize it for one minor defect or another. The
book's merit, however, so outweighs its minor defects that this
reviewer wants to make an issue of the point. Its merit is the fact
that it is a published history of a Texas county, and one that

The Trail Blazers have plans to start over
Jan 29, 2011, 4:00 PM EDT
It was inevitable, really. The promise held in the 2008 and 2009 seasons for the Portland Trail Blazers have vanished in a blur of surgical knives, press releases featuring the words "out for the season" and a crowd of players in tailored suits on the bench. Joel Przybilla was the lucky one. He only hurt his knee twice. Brandon Roy. Greg Oden. Greg Oden. Greg Oden. The fact is that the team assembled to challenge the West has become mortal. They're still fighting, and Wesley Matthews and LaMarcus Aldridge are great players. Andre Miller's a good player, Nicolas Batum is a very good player, and the youngsters have some potential. But the building blocks aren't there. And Portland's GM, Rich Cho, is being honest about it.
From The Oregonian:
The days of proclaiming this franchise "one or two pieces away" have faded. In its place is this matter-of-fact assessment from Cho:
"This team is an average to a little-above average team, and our record reflects that," Cho said. "And theres not going to be any quick fix to make it into a championship team. This is going to be a process."
Cho waited until the Blazers had played about half of their games before deciding what his long term plan is for the franchise. He said that plan may become clear to fans after the trade deadline, but added that "winning is still important."
"But I think you have to think short term and long term," Cho said. "We are not going to sacrifice a long-term goal for a short-term benefit."
via Trail Blazers: Big changes on the way, GM Rich Cho says | OregonLive.com.
The Oregonian goes on to report that Cho plans on pursuing drat picks, seeking to replicate the Thunder formula. Ironic, as it was the Blazers' passing of Kevin Durant that… you know what? I'm going to leave that one alone. Following the Thunder is a good path, at least it seems so at this point, and probably the best pursuit for the Blazers.
But if the Blazers are really going to look at following the Thunder, they should also pay attention to what GM Sam Presti didn't do. He didn't start adding veterans. The Blazers, thinking they were set, started plugging in veterans like Marcus Camby and Andre Miller. Veterans are great additions to teams ready to contend for a title. They are anchors around teams trying to find a path towards a successful future, even as their play are some of the bright spots. You simply can't build around them.
Cho expects to start making moves as the trade deadline nears, and he's going to have assets capable of moving. He says that Nicolas Batum is part of the future in Portland, but don't be surprised if instead he uses Batum's overall value to try and snag something significant. After all, you have to give up valuable assets if you want to get them.
Until then, we'll watch the Blazers, defiantly plugging in more wins than losses, struggling through injury after injury, and think of what could have been. The fall from grace in the NBA comes just that quickly.
- goforthanddie - Jan 29, 2011 at 10:38 PM
You can't blame the Blazers for signing Camby/Miller (esp. with the whole Oden thing). Had things gone as hoped this season…
One potential issue…Matthews plays MUCH better as a starter than off the bench. What happens when BRoy comes back? Roy had a bad case of ego early in the season; will he come back with an attitude more in line with his reduced abilities?
Another issue…Since the Roy/Oden future has evaporated, is McMillan the right man to coach the personnel?

Old Collierville Middle School to get promotion to University of Memphis site
Once the 895 children leave the 75-year-old Collierville Middle School, in a few years the University of Memphis plans to roll onto the property with big changes.
Shelby County Schools is planning to build a middle school on 15 acres on Quinn Road to replace the old school at Poplar and Walnut, which at one time was the town's high school.
The school system is buying 10 acres for $350,000 from the William Parr family. The Parrs are donating another five acres to Collierville per the town's parkland dedication requirement.
The town will then swap the five acres with the county school system for the old school property at Poplar and Walnut.
Collierville will spend $4 million to renovate the old property for use by the university as a satellite campus.
Several of the newer buildings will be torn down and replaced for the university. Then Collierville will spend an additional $2 million to renovate the historic part of the school, which will be used as a gymnasium and a multipurpose building with a theater.
The university will repay the town through a lease agreement. Once the debt is settled, Collierville will lease the property to the university for $1 a year.
U of M has operated a satellite school in Collierville since 1990 at the Carrier Corp. building.
"We will double the space and the number of classes we offer in Collierville," said Dan Lattimore, vice provost for extended programs. "Our goal is to offer full degree programs from that location."
The university offers 50 classes to about 1,300 students at the Carrier location.
Once the campus is completed in Collierville, the university will offer around 73 classes and can accommodate 2,500 students, Lattimore said.
As for the new middle school, the Shelby County School Board plans to award a construction contract at its meeting Thursday. Construction should follow soon after, said board chairman David Pickler.
SCS decided to build the school because the older building outlived its usefulness in an era of computers and more interactive schooling, Pickler said.
The old school wasn't suited for computer use and not wired properly for security cameras, among other things.
"We will have a computer lab, a science lab, other amenities that modern schools use," Pickler said.
The single-story school will also give administrators better control of entrances into the school so that they will have to immediately report to the office.
"It's a reality that we have to worry about violent offenders and sex offenders," Pickler said. "This is to protect our students."
The school will cost between $12 million and $15 million to complete. If the weather is good and there aren't any other hitches, the school should be ready to open by summer 2012.

Dear Guy,
You remind me of a shiny new diamond,

Your eyes are like the blue moon on a cold night
Your smile is like the sun, lighting up my world
Your voice is like a moist chocolate cake
Your personality is like a comical movie

Make you fall in love with me
Kiss me

Dr. O'Neal is great. He takes extra time to listen to my concerns. When he doesn't know something he admits it and doesn't pretend otherwise (he'd not heard of my rare skin condition). He is certainly well knowledgeable in his field. Best of all, when I complained about my glasses many months after the money back period had passed, he replaced them at no charge to me, and ate the cost himself. This office is very concerned about keeping the customer happy - I only wish all doctors were this good.

I was new to the area and chose this doctor as someone in my insurance network and close to home. The office staff was pleasant and when the insurance payment did not go through correctly with my vision care plan (it should have gone through my medical plan since he is an M.D. rather than an O.D.) they followed through politely via phone calls rather than just sending bills in the mail. Dr. Neal was timely, polite, personable, gave a thorough exam, and I did not feel rushed through in any way. There was a minor concern, so he wanted to follow up in 6 months rather than waiting for my next annual exam. My experience with the follow up exam was similar, and I have no reservations about referring anyone to this doctor for routine eye care. I do not however, have any personal knowledge of his reputation or skill as an eye surgeon.

Dr. O'Neal is the rudest, most arrogant doctor I have ever met. He interrupted me constantly, treated me as if I am stupid, and brushed off all my questions. When he found out I have graduate degrees in computer science, he was a bit nicer. I would never recommend this doctor.

Put A Camera On An Eagle And What Do You Get? Soaring VIDEO
By Mark Memmott
If this is a trick, it's a spectacular one.
A video that purports to have been taken by a GoPro or similarly small camera strapped to an eagle soaring above Chamonix, France, is quickly going viral.
As France's version of The Local newssite says, "for now, the author of the video remains unknown, but until then we can only watch and admire.
We hope this is more along the lines of the very real "Decorah Eagle Cam" and not the very fake "Eagle Snatches Kid." Experts' opinions are welcome in the comments thread.
Before we leave, we do need to mention Fly Like An Eagle — just to be sure it's running through everyone's brains.

Note to self: Make a point to age as gracefully as Tony Bennett has.
The 85-year-old singer took the stage of Uihlein Hall in the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts on Tuesday evening to a standing ovation, the first of several scattered throughout what proved to be an absolutely sparkling performance.
Bennett moved easily from ballads and love songs to big, powerful numbers, adding a little scat singing and bit of soft-shoe to the evening.
His delivery was all about the songs, not about the singer. He created a distinct mood with each number, making a personal, heartfelt statement with each tune.
Bennett began with relaxed renditions of "Watch What Happens" and "They All Laughed" before moving into a knock-it-out-of-the-park take on "Maybe This Time."
The entire program followed that same pace: a few crooned numbers, including an unforgettably tender, intimate "The Way You Look Tonight," then a roof-raiser such as "For Once in My Life."
Bennett's vocal longevity may be the reward for smart, relaxed singing, and his musical longevity a testament to honest, meaningful music-making, but his demeanor onstage is something else entirely.
He clearly loves the music he sings, and it's obvious as he talks to his fans that there's nowhere else he'd rather be.
Part of the delight of Bennett's show was listening to him talk about his extraordinarily long career. He joked that he had been singing a particular song for 50 years, adding, "Let's be honest, I've been singing it for 60."
He told just a few stories about the songs he was singing and the people who had been important in his life and career. He talked about Bob Hope giving him his stage name, spoke fondly of his friend Rosemary Clooney and mentioned a letter he got years ago from Charlie Chaplin. Those are stories one could listen to all night.
Bennett was backed by a tight, attentive jazz quartet of piano, guitar, bass and drums that supported his every musical nuance.
His daughter, Antonia Bennett, opened the show, singing with a good deal of style but a rather affected use of the microphone that didn't work well in Uihlein Hall.

Chechyna: What You Need to Knowtags: Russia, Boston Marathon bombing, Chechnya, David R. Stone, Chechen Wars
Russian artillery bombarding a Chechen village in 2000, during the Second Chechen War. Credit: Wiki Commons.
Editor's Note: With the identification of two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings -- Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, killed by police; and his brother Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19 -- as immigrants of Chechen origin, it's worth taking a look back at Chechnya's bloody history.
Walt Richmond, professor of Russian at Occidental College, wrote an article for HNN last month about the blood-soaked, possibly genocidal Russian conquest of the Caucasus region in the nineteenth century -- a campaign that included the conquest of what is now Chechnya. Norman Naimark, Robert and Florence McDonnell Professor in Eastern European Studies at Stanford University, wrote about Soviet atrocities under Stalin -- including the deportation of the Chechen population from their ancestral homelands to Central Asia in 1944 -- for HNN in 2010, and Thomas R. Mockaitis, professor at DePaul University in Chicago, has written about Chechen suicide bombings in Moscow.
Here, David R. Stone, a professor of Russian history at Kansas State University, has written extensively on Soviet and Russian military history, explains what you need to know about recent Chechen history, in particular the two bloody wars fought between Russia and Chechen rebels in the 1990s.
* * * * *
When the Soviet Union disintegrated in 1991, one of the chief causes was the power of local nationalists who resented rule from Moscow. But there were limits to what those nationalist sentiments could achieve. The end of Moscow's authority meant that power and sovereignty flowed to the Soviet Union's fifteen union republics, roughly analogous to American states. KGB veteran Nikolai Leonov once remarked that the Soviet Union was like a chocolate bar, already marked with lines that made it easy to break apart. Those fifteen pieces of the chocolate bar themselves had internal divisions, but Soviet ethnic groups which lacked their own union republic found that the breaking apart stopped short of independence for them. The Chechen people, well-equipped with historical grievances to drive their discontent, found themselves in the Russian Federation due to the accidents of history and map, but badly wanted out.
Under the leadership of President Dzhokhar Dudaev, Chechnya worked from 1991 to 1994 to assert its independence from Boris Yeltsin's Russia. Both Chechen autonomy, and the breakdown of law and order that accompanied it, were more than Yeltsin's government could accept. When efforts at a political compromise failed, Russian troops invaded Chechnya in December 1994.
The horrors of that First Chechen War transformed the Chechen cause. It drove hundreds of thousands of Chechens out of Chechnya itself as refugees into other parts of the Caucasus: Ingushetia or Dagestan (where Dzhokhar Tsarnaev attended school). Others went further afield: the United States, Europe, or even Central Asia. Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, where the Tsarnaev brothers lived for several years, still have a substantial population of Chechens dating back to Joseph Stalin's deportation of the Chechen people from their historic homeland in 1944.
The First Chechen War had pernicious effects that lasted well beyond the uneasy 1996 settlement that gave Chechnya de facto autonomy. The traditional family and clan links that tied Chechen society together frayed and broke as a result of death and displacement. Chechen refugees within the Caucasus moved into environments that were less ethnically Chechen, but still largely Muslim. Ethnic and clan identity mattered less, and religious identity mattered more.
Islam in the North Caucasus had generally been tolerant in its practice and not especially strict, but the pressure of war made it increasingly fundamentalist. While refugees flowed out of Chechnya, foreign Islamist fighters flowed in to aid what they saw as a Muslim fight against infidel Russians. The result was that the Chechen resistance became increasingly internationalized and radicalized. The relative importance of Chechen independence shrank. Instead, jihad became a far more important element of the Chechen cause.
The Chechen leadership, facing a horrendous task of reconstruction after 1996, thus began to split. Relative moderates, capable of accepting some form of association with Russia, were increasingly at odds with radicals, inspired by the Wahhabi branch of Islam and eager to spread their struggle beyond Chechnya. On the more moderate side, Aslan Maskhadov, president of Chechnya from 1997, tried to find some form of working relationship with Moscow but found his efforts undermined by more violent elements in his own movement. As Chechnya descended into rampant lawlessness, the Saudi militant known as Khattab and the Chechen Shamil Basayev engineered an August 1999 invasion of Dagestan. They no longer aimed at Chechen independence but instead spreading their form of radical Islam to the rest of the North Caucasus. When combined with a series of controversial and still mysterious apartment bombings, the Dagestan invasion gave Boris Yeltsin and his newly-appointed Prime Minister Vladimir Putin the grounds they needed to launch a Second Chechen War in October 1999.
This second war went far better for Russians than the first. Maskhadov made several abortive attempts to cut a deal with the Russians, but found himself dismissed by Moscow and increasingly ignored by his own compatriots before being killed by Russian special forces in March 2005. Basayev engineered more and more horrific terrorist attacks, including the seizure of a Moscow theater in October 2002 and the massacre of a school full of children in Beslan in September 2004. This ended whatever hope might have still existed of winning broad international support for the cause of full Chechen independence. The Russian government was then able to find Chechens willing to accept Russian hegemony in return for local autonomy. In 1999, Chechen religious authority Akhmad Kadyrov broke with the anti-Russian resistance movement, in part over its increasing religious radicalism, and began working with Russian authorities. After serving as chief administrator of Chechnya on Putin's behalf, he became Chechen president in October 2003. Though Kadyrov was assassinated the next year, his son Ramzan Kadyrov became Chechen president in turn in February 2007. Kadyrov has continued his father's policy of cooperating with Moscow and smashing any resistance to his own control with brutal efficiency.
The result has been the death of old Chechen nationalism. The current Chechen government accepts that leaving Russia may never be an option. The activist remnant of the Chechen movement has been left with little besides radical Islamism, a vision that goes far beyond a concrete local struggle for specific, attainable goals to see instead a worldwide struggle between good and evil.
