The NFL Divisional Playoffs are always one of the most exciting weekends in all of sports. The two games on Saturday certainly lived up to the high expectations NFL Fans have for postseason action. The Ravens pulled off a thrilling 38-35 Double-Overtime upset over the Broncos. The 49ers, led by QB Colin Kaepernick, dominated the Packers Defense with a franchise record of 579 total yards of Offense during their 45-31 win.But the first match-up on Sunday between the Falcons and Seahawks out-shined both of the games from the day before. Atlanta jumped out to a 20-0 lead in the 1st Half but Seattle clawed their way back into the game. With 30 seconds left in the 4th Quarter, the Seahawks took their first lead thanks to a Marshawn Lynch touchdown run. But Matt Ryan and company refused to lose yet another playoff game. Ryan connected with Tony Gonzalez and Harry Douglas on two quick passes and put his kicker, Matt Bryant, in Field Goal range. Bryant nailed the 49-yard Field Goal with eig...

The State of Michigan is examining whether it could help Detroit process and collect its city income tax by adding a Detroit tax schedule to state tax forms, Gov. Rick Snyder said Thursday.
The idea is part of a broader examination of ways the state can help the city with its processing and collection of taxes - including property taxes - the governor said during a question and answer session with the Detroit Free Press editorial board.
"We're looking at how we can help them with the whole tax process," Snyder said. ...

Australia is often said to be the driest inhabited continent on Earth, but that's only because of its low rainfall.
In fact, we have massive reserves of the most precious of natural resources right beneath our feet in our groundwater.
Bore water, for example, from the Great Artesian Basin made it possible to open up vast inland areas for grazing livestock. Natural springs provide the millions of bottles of mineral water we consume every year.
Groundwater makes it possible to grow many of our crops and pastures. And we're looking increasingly to aquifers to provide drinking water for our growing towns and cities.
Groundwater is found in the voids between sediment grains in the subsurface. It can flow slowly like a river through aquifers or pool in great underground "lakes". Although hidden from view it is intimately connected with the rivers, streams, creeks, ponds, lakes and wetlands we can see above ground.
So, effective water management must consider surface water and groundwater as "connected" - a single resource.
Australia has doubled its groundwater use in recent decades. It now makes up more than one-fifth of all the water we harvest. Yet we don't know enough about the many and complex interactions between groundwater and surface water or how this knowledge can be applied to controversial issues such as coal seam gas development and water allocations in the Murray Darling Basin Plan.
In many cases, we're still treating them as if they were separate resources and we know far too little about how to manage them sustainably.
The University of New South Wales Connected Waters Initiative Research Centre aims to help fill this critical gap in our knowledge through research, teaching and public education. You can read our vision and mission statements here, and our annual report here.
The CWI is jointly supported by the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Engineering in recognition of the vital roles that both knowledge and technology can play in better understanding and managing Australia's water resources. Our multidiscipinary expertise includes staff from the Schools of Civil and Environmental Engineering; Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences; Mining Engineering; and Law.
The CWI manages Australia's groundwater infrastructure program, the NCRIS Groundwater Infastructure, and CWI staff play leading roles in Australia's groundwater centre, the Australian Research Council and National Water Commission funded National Centre for Groundwater Research and Training (NCGRT).
This site is a window into the UNSW Connected Waters Initiative Research Centre and was initially developed thanks to the generosity of our sponsor, Mr Gary Johnston, CEO of Jaycar Electronics.
University of New South Wales (UNSW), Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) and National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) researchers working at Yarrangobilly Caves in the Australian Snowy Mountains have found new information from cave deposits that will help reconstruct past climates and groundwater recharge processes.
New research in south-east Queensland is developing a clear understanding of the significance of flooding for sustainable groundwater use.
National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS)-funded infrastructure at the UNSW Fowlers Gap research Station has recorded a rainfall event that greatly exceeded all previous records collected during 45 years of monitoring.
A number of advances in our understanding of the timing and rate of unsaturated zone infiltration were made during 2014, thanks to the NCRIS infrastructure at Wellington in central-west NSW.
The Connected Waters Initiative Research Centre team had a strong presence again this year at the AGU Fall meeting.

In a correct sense, the capacity of the human mind to distinguish between truth and error. In this sense it is the foundation for freedom of the will, to choose between good and evil. but historically the term came into vogue as a motto for the Freethinkers, who were actually skeptics. Hume (1711-76) and Voltaire (1694-1778) in their day claimed to be Freethinkers, because they chose to disbelieve in divine revelation and, in fact, even to reject the basic dictates of sound moral reason.

Planning trip to the Gulf Coast
In 40 years of riding, I've never been to the Gulf Coast from the pan-handle of FL through Alabama, Mississippi, and on to The Big Easy. I want to do a relaxing trip and definitely avoid the super slab and large metropolitan areas. I do want to see some of Mobile, Biloxi, and of course New Orleans.
I'll be riding from Hendersonville, NC to my friend's place in Fort Payne, AL. The next day we plan to go in the car to the Indy Car races at Barber. We'll take off the following day on the bikes for the Gulf Coast.
I'd appreciate any suggestions for scenic routes, historic places, and interesting places to eat along the way. My biggest regret is that I'm allergic to oysters, but anything else is open for tasting.:wings
When are you doing this trip ?
Like pulling hens teeth, I google Barber website and finally
found the Indy race date as 7 April weekend.
You care more than me. I only asked because I live on the Ms. coast and figured I could help with suggestions.
You may want to check out Dauphin Island and take the ferry from Fort Gaines on D.I. to Fort Morgan at Gulf shores. Fort Morgan road would be a nice ride before you get into the traffic on Highway 59.
shoot down to Tallahassee, quickest route. out of Tallahasse, take 98 south to Applichacola and follow it to Pensacola. there are a few campgrounds and many hotels, good scenery and much of it on the water. Should be lots of stealth camping available but there are many satate parks too.

ERIC BRADNER: Off stage, Lugar had some advice for Mourdock
INDIANAPOLIS - He may have been ousted in Tuesday's Republican primary, but U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar was not going quietly.
As he stood in front of cameras with his family delivering his concession speech, the six-term senator's campaign staff walked around the back of the ballroom, handing reporters a written statement that he did not read from the stage.
It was quite a rebuke of the man who had just beaten him, state Treasurer Richard Mourdock.
In it, Lugar said that to be a good senator, Mourdock would need to get over his distaste for bipartisanship. Otherwise, Lugar said, Mourdock would "achieve little as a legislator."
"His embrace of an unrelenting partisan mindset is irreconcilable with my philosophy of governance and my experience of what brings results for Hoosiers in the Senate," Lugar wrote.
"In effect, what he has promised in this campaign is reflexive votes for a rejectionist orthodoxy and rigid opposition to the actions and proposals of the other party."
No wonder the reaction Wednesday morning, as the election's dust settled.
"I think there were things there I wouldn't have said," Gov. Mitch Daniels said in an acknowledgment that the statement put Republicans who were trying to put the primary behind them and rally around Mourdock's candidacy put them in an awkward position.
Then came Mourdock's Democratic opponent, U.S. Rep. Joe Donnelly, who said Lugar "pretty well hit it on the head." No doubt Donnelly's team will be keeping that statement handy, perhaps for television advertisements this fall.
For now, let's ignore Lugar's assessment of a campaign in which he was defeated, 61 percent to 39 percent, and focus instead on what he had to say about the nation's political climate.
He criticized the pledges that interest groups ask candidates to sign, saying that fealty to those promises makes hammering out legislation that can achieve enough support to pass much harder.
He said many topics have become "politically unmentionable."
"Republicans cannot admit to any nuance in policy on climate change. Republican members are now expected to take pledges against any tax increases. For two consecutive presidential nomination cycles, GOP candidates competed with one another to express the most strident anti-immigration view, even at the risk of alienating a huge voting bloc," Lugar's statement said.
"Similarly, most Democrats are constrained when talking about such issues as entitlement cuts, tort reform, and trade agreements."
Even if you don't agree with his characterization of today's politics, or with the notion that both sides are to blame, Lugar's point is worth giving some thought.
Still, the way he made it irks me.
Indiana has now seen two of its senators — first Democrat Evan Bayh in 2010, and now Lugar — offer similar sentiments about Washington's failures on the way out the door.
Bayh clearly wanted out. He'd hoped to be the Democratic vice presidential nominee, and when that didn't happen, he thought about running again for governor — an office he liked better. Lugar, meanwhile, gave staying around a shot.
But Bayh had 12 years to try to make things better — to foster the kind of cooperation he complained upon his retirement announcement that the Senate so sorely needs.
Lugar had a yearlong campaign. He stubbornly defended his stances on issues that irked his party's right wing, but he never even tried to make the race a bigger battle against such a strident brand of partisan politics.
Even Tuesday night, with a state and national audience, Lugar chose not to use the moment to make his case personally. No, he did so in a written statement that would've been treated as an afterthought if its contents weren't such a surprise.
They decried the dysfunction, but only after it was too late. It's a shame because both are capable of so much more than parting shots.

"We received so many compliments on this invitation. It was for our son's Holy Communion. Everyone loved the front and back design of the card."
"I was looking for nice invite for my son's baptism. This one was nice, and had the colors I was looking for which went well with the color of the blanket in his photo. The professional photo made the card complete!"
"This card is beautiful! I love all the personalized options it gives you. It was perfect for our sons baptism and it arrived so quick and without error. I loved working with this company and they delivered a very special product to us just as we'd hoped!"
"I loved this invitation in every aspect, except for the area for the venue. It didn't have much room to write where the ceremony and reception would take place. After some rearranging, I was able to fit it all in, and it still looked very good!"

Kitchens are the hub of the modern home and with the nights drawing in, and Halloween, bonfire night and Christmas approaching, this is the busiest time of year for keen cooks and budding chefs.
Having too many kitchen gadgets can clutter your workspace, so choose products carefully, striking a balance between style and practicality. Colourful gadgets look great – and retro-flavoured gizmos are totally on-trend – but keep an eye out for cordless products that are easy to transport around worktops too.
If you are creating something special in your kitchen, consider one of these handy gadgets.
Micro magic
With a steamer vessel and steam function for creating healthier meals, the Whirlpool Max Microwave (£160) is perfect if you want a compact microwave with bags of retro style. The rounded back helps it to fit into kitchen corners, the flat screen door is easy to clean and a choice of zesty orange or vivacious green adds a pretty pop of colour to minimalist kitchen designs. whirlpool.co.uk
Measure up
A great space-saver, the Heston Blumenthal Precision Orb Electronic Scale by Salter (£39.99) allows multiple ingredients to be measured in the same bowl using an 'Add & Weigh' function that you set to zero each time you add an ingredient. Battery-powered, it has an LCD display for convenience and an 'Aquatronic' feature for liquids. salterhousewares.com
No-spill mill
Most grinders have an annoying habit of leaving trails of salt or pepper wherever they go. Not so the No-spill Mill by Joseph and Joseph (£36). Its clever design includes an innovative flared lever, which seals off the grinding mechanism after use to catch any excess grains. The battery-powered electric mill also has an adjustable ceramic mechanism for both fine or course grain. josephjoseph.com

Big Sky Boys head for Death Valley
Death Valley.
To a kid raised in the Northwest, the name has such a mystique to it. I remember the old TV series when I was a little kid, Death Valley Days. What was this faraway and dangerous place? What are your chances of even coming out alive if you dare to venture in?
Well, we were sitting around wondering what to do for fun in the depths of our Montana winter, and as we were hanging out at the office one day looking out the back window at town.....
Bob pops up with this idea. Let's go ride Death Valley. Oh, the mental imagery of what we could do! The thunder of our mighty steeds across the barren desert!
Doesn't take long (maybe one more Captain Morgan) before we're on board and shooting text messages out to some of the other guys. Adam's in. Skip's in. Leon says Hell yeah. All we gotta do is clear it with the wives. Hoo-boy.
But see we're big tough Montana studs and we just lay down the damn law and that's how it works. I got done begging and writing love notes just in time to start getting the V-Strom ready for the trip. The other guys got clearance and we went to work on logistics. I won't bore you with that but it was a bit of an undertaking.
Day after Valentine's day, we were wheels-up at 4 AM from Hamilton MT. Stopped in Salmon ID at 6AM for fuel and essentials.
As it got light, we still happened to be in the frozen north but were heading due south with great determination.
Further we went, Adam and I in the Mighty Duramax, and Marty, Bob, Skip, and Leon in the chase vehicle.
By evening we were closing in on Vegas.
Bob and his son stayed in Vegas, and the rest of us stayed in Pahrump. Pahrump is an old Indian name meaning "Date-expired food from Vegas." We ate a nasty seafood buffet at our hotel, being too tired to go anywhere else, and a couple beers had us out like a light. Morning came quick and we unloaded.
Our loose laid plans were to ride the north end of the park one day, south the next, and options for the third. We didn't know too much about it, although Bob rode the park on a Harley some years back, and after reading a thousand ADV ride reports on the park I was in option paralysis so figured we'd just ride around and get a handle on the place. Off we went.
Stopped at the Armagosa Opera House for a quick look at the map and game plan.
The first stop was Zabriskie point. Fantastic introduction to the park, and what was in store for us for the next few days.
This is Bob and his son Levi. He's in college at Gonzaga in Spokane. Seems like just a couple years ago we were all camping and little Levi was telling me about the "pan-sized cutthroat trout!" that he'd caught. Man they grow up fast. Now he's one of the guys, and a very high quality young man I'm happy to ride with.
So we head out across various lands of beautiful desert, colorful rock formations, the brief greens of spring, and the great open expanses.
We stop at Furnace Creek for a break, and it's a fascinating place with some historical information and displays. Pretty well equipped for what I thought was there in the park, next time I head down there I'm posting up there.
We rode on, saw the Ashford Mill Ruins, and ended up in Stovepipe Wells for lunch. The big burger was great!
The Gang, taken at Ashford
At Stovepipe. Hey Adam, look behind you!
We continue up the road, and end up at Scotty's Castle, another one of those places you've always heard about, now get to see in person. Good excuse for me to don my dorky desert hat.
In the store they had valuable and educational literature. I thought about naming the ride report after this book. (Especially after what was to come from the Pahrump food)
So we're cruising up out of there and off to the left, in a dry lake bed, is this silver car just going like hell. I think he found the top end and he ran the lake bed both ways.
We pull over to watch, and the guy kind of slinks away, but we weren't judgmental, we love it. Leon, Adam and I swing out there for a couple quick glam shots of the bike and then open 'er up. Surprising how much traction there was on this stuff.
Getting late in the day, up the road we go past more desert special interest points.
This one the Shady Rascal just had to get a picture of.
So the next day we head out and work our way south.
Devil's Golf Course
Big Mart (ADV MartyMoose) is having fun and always keeping us in stitches
An Alien! No, A Leon. (ADV Whenindoubt)
We also get to the Artist's Drive. What a beautiful stretch of road.
We hiked up this hill for some pictures along the way. "No beer here, let's go."
There was a BMW Airhead rally in Furnace Creek for the weekend. Some of the old classics were up there on Artist. These were gorgeous bikes and we talked to the guys for a second.
Along with the Airheads there were a bunch of new BMW's running around too. The R1200GS guys with their $20,000 bikes all perfect and polished, the immaculate expensive Aerostich riding gear, their $700 helmets, and their snotty ass attitude. They never wave and they are better than you. Pricks.
We head back for Pahrump, and some of the guys take that road up to the top for the overlook picture. I miss this because I'm nearly dead from food poisoning from that morning's nasty breakfast in nasty Pahrump.
We get back to Pahrump, and Adam and I head for a different spot for food. The service is slow, the food was mistaken, the bill was screwed up, and Adam's helmet was stolen right in front of the door.
Day three we start out of Vegas and head for Hoover Dam.
The Pat Tillman bridge is all done, this is the first time I've seen it completed. Impressive!
Need some spring runoff.
I like the boat ramps there. In Montana, a boat ramp might be two lanes wide, occupied by one redneck right in the middle, trying to jump-start his dead boat that sat in his pasture all winter while kneeling on the seat his horse chewed the cover off of. You back around him over some rocks and dump your boat in, while his wife peers at you over her Bud light on the dock and scratches herself.
Saw some desert sheep.
Took Lakeshore Drive and headed out past the lake and into the desert.
We stopped at a real biker bar in Overton. Cold beer was not bad at all.
From there we took off through the Valley of Fire on the way back to Vegas. Pretty drive, but I wouldn't pay $10 again just to take that ten mile stretch of road.
Bob's having fun cruisin'
We got into Vegas, loaded the bikes up and it was suddenly 6pm. The rest of the guys were heading for Gallagher's for steaks, but Adam and I kinda wanted to get some miles under us. We got rolling with the Mighty Max and with a short nap in the truck somewhere in Utah, somehow pulled an all-nighter, and were back in Hamilton at 10 AM.
Making a big trip like this is a lot of work, kind of spendy, and you never know how it's going to turn out. But that's just part of the adventure. Once you get outside the comfort zone, pack your stuff and just head out thataway, you get to find out a little about the world you might not see from the airport and the beach resort. On my motorcycle, I see, smell, feel and take part of the whole world I'm in, and get far away from the seemingly senseless struggles of the daily work life. It's an escape, comradery, therapy, inner peace, and a discovery, all wrapped up into one little machine, a stretch of road, and a twist of the throttle.
I love it.

Very nice RR. Thanks for posting it. Sounds like you all had a blast. The thing I like the most is all the different bikes in the group and you did not talk about any of them. For me it's not the machine your on but the stuff that happens and things you see.

It was all about the riding, and all of us had so much fun we were ready to do it all again soon as we got home. We did about 740 miles total in the 3 days, no break downs and just a couple of low speed or no speed drops for the whole group. Leon was always worried about fuel range but he was always pumping the throttle on that 990 hot rod so it was no wonder he was using it up!
One interesting point, Adam with his Versys and me on my 650 V Strom raced a bunch of times. He just got the Versys before the trip. We were absolutely dead even all the way up past 100 mph. This was funny as we are racing buddies with our cars. If he hit the gas first, he got about a bike or two length jump as his torque curve is stronger low down. Then it was perfectly even. If I got on the gas first I'd get a slight advantage, then with the bikes in their power range we'd sit there looking right at each other all the way through the gears.
Soon as he got home he took his bike apart to find some more power. As if our supercharged Mustangs aren't costing us enough.

About "Dear Doctor":
The species change by adapting to their environment.
Phlox discovered that the Menk were adapting toward incresing intelligence under Valakian influence.
The Valakians' disappearance would change the Menk's environment and Phlox couldn't have more than some vague predictions about the Menk evolution in the new circumstances - unless he could see into the future. And then, there are imprevisible variables - an asteroid hitting the planet, a disease - that couldn't be surmounted by the primitive Menk.
By refusing to give the Valakians the cure, Phlox+Archer prejudiced both the Valakians and the Menk:
The Valakians were denied a chance of survival;
The Menk survival/evolutionary future towards higher intelligence has become more uncertain - with the Valakians they were sure to become smarter across generations; without them, they MAY evolve in that way.
The episode is trying to create a moral dilemma by saying that under the Valakians, the Menk wouldn't evolve at all - this is directly contradicted by the episode itself (which showed the Menk developing at an impressive pace).
Even if we consider this assumption (and the bad science on which it is based) as true, Phlox+Archer's decision is still morally wrong (disgusting, actually) - they condemned a species to death so that another one has a chance of flourishing.
This is analog to letting a person die (a person that could be saved with certainty) so that a dr Mengele waana-be can chop her up for spare organs and use these organs in order to try and save another person (an action which may or may not succeed)./QUOTE]
Phlox never said the Menk's increasing intelligence was a result of the Valakians' control over them. In fact, he implied that the Menk's advance was being impeded by the Valakians.
Phlox: I've been studying their genome as well, and I've seen evidence of increasing intelligence. Motor skills, linguistic abilities. Unlike the Valakians they appear to be in the process of an evolutionary awakening. It may take millennia, but the Menk have the potential to become the dominant species on this planet.
Archer: And that won't happen as long as the Valakians are around.
Phlox: If the Menk are to flourish, they need an opportunity to survive on their own.
As I said,
bad science
: evolution is not encoded in the genome of a species. It is an adaptation to the environment. If the Menk show signs of increasing intelligence, etc, it's because they live in a specific environment (aka with the valakians) and are adapting to it.

Utah girl found safe; questions abound about disappearance
SALT LAKE CITY — A 13-year-old girl who disappeared this week without shoes or a coat in chilly weather has been found unharmed, but questions abound about where she was and what she was doing while 1,000 volunteers searched for her for two days.
Brooklyn Gittins called her grandmother late Thursday from a Wal-Mart store in South Jordan, Unified Police Lt. Justin Hoyal said. The woman then contacted police and officers located the child. She was uninjured and wearing the same clothes.
Authorities don't know whether to label the case a runaway or an abduction. What they do know is that Brooklyn crawled out of her bedroom window and left on her own accord. She was picked up in a car by a person or persons who then harbored her, Hoyal said.
"To take somebody who is that age and leave without parental consent is problematic," he said.

Chances are you multitask plenty on the job. Do you check emails and update spreadsheets while on a conference call? If so, you're in good company. However, there's a group of office workers taking multitasking on the job to a whole new level: they're working out while they work.
No, these people aren't Phys Ed teachers, personal trainers or professional athletes. They're everyday people who work in an office sitting at a desk. Except they're not sitting down while they type. They're walking… on a treadmill… at their desks.
Not your average gym treadmill
These special treadmill desks were created so employees who were often sedentary throughout the work day could get physical activity on the job.
Treadmill desks, also called "walking desks" or "treadmill workstations," consist of a treadmill with a desktop securely balanced on top of the treadmill's console. An employee's workstation equipment – including a computer, keyboard, phone and more – sits at a comfortable height so the employee can work and walk simultaneously. Users should walk at an extremely slow pace – only 1-2 miles per hour. This speed is intentionally slower than a normal walking pace so that employees can carry out routine work activities without breaking a sweat.
The perks of walking while you work
The past few years, study after study has revealed just how harmful sitting for long periods of time is for our health. Sitting over four hours per day (as most office workers do) has been linked with type 2 diabetes, heart disease and a shorter life expectancy.
With that said, there's also an obesity epidemic going on. Not getting enough exercise is partly to blame for our nation's expanding waistline. In fact, 80 percent of adults don't get the recommended amount of physical activity. Using a treadmill desk seems like a great solution for these problems.
Dr. James Levine, an endocrinologist at the Mayo Clinic, would likely agree. Dr. Levine is credited for creating the first treadmill desk back in 2005. He wanted to find a way to help himself and others get in extra activity throughout the day to help meet weight loss goals. Dr. Levine estimates that the average work-walker burns 100-130 calories per hour. So, if an employee uses a treadmill desk for 8 hours a day every workday, he or she could shed up to one to two pounds per week.
Treadmill desk enthusiasts cite more benefits beyond weight loss. Users claim that treadmill desks can help ease back pain and leg neuropathy and improve circulation.
Where to find a treadmill desk
People are using treadmill desks in corporate settings and in their home offices. Several fitness equipment companies make different models, with prices ranging from approximately $500 to a few thousand dollars.
Note that these treadmills differ from traditional treadmills – they don't have an incline, have a lower range of speed, and are quieter. They're designed for walking only. However, if you're crafty and into DIY projects, it's possible to repurpose a regular treadmill and turn it into a walking desk.
Have you ever tried a treadmill desk?

Getting fit is hard, choosing the right equipment shouldn't be. Whether you're starting a fitness program for rehabilitation, to improve your health or to compete in local races, a treadmill is a great piece of cardio exercise equipment. But how do you spot a good one? With the range of treadmills on the market, it's good to know what to look for. Read more.

So far a good, very durable rope
This rope holds up very well. I've read what others have said about the sheath being lousy, but that hasn't been my experience; still no fuzz. I've also taken some long pendulum type falls where the sheath has been dragged across the granite in a manner which would expose the core on a lesser cord, but my Zephyr has survived without any damage that I can't live with. There is no doubt that this rope is heavy (I have the 60m) but for my uses the extra durability and strength of a 10.3 more than compensate.

The rock structure at Anaheim Stadium?
yeah, Anahiem Angles fountain, thats what it looks like to me...
That didn't take long...it's in the back of the Disney Big Thunder-type rock/fountain that was put in during the 1997 refurbishment from multi-purpose back to baseball only...Disney owned the Angels at the time and footed most of the bill. (Technically Disney did not take over full ownership until Gene Autry's death in the fall of 1998.)
But after so many years of seeing those rocks, the other night I walked in the patio area behind the pavillions, and saw that "A" formation for the first time! It's right near the place where the cameraman sits back of centerfield...at "Angel Stadium of Anaheim"...
Thought you'd get a kick out of it anyway...
Cool! Never knew about that. Thanks, Barry!
Great picture Barry.
Can't fool those Angel fans...;) And by the way, the walkway along the patio is a not a bad place to watch a game from! The view's not as good as from the press box, but out there I can be with real fans and cheer!
Thanks for the comments, gang...
Hey Barry, you're an Angel's fan and all, how come you aren't part of the Angel's Booster Club?
Thanks for the tip DemiGod...I'll check it out...

BR police arrested men under invalidated law
An East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office task force has arrested at least 12 men since 2011 under a sodomy law invalidated in 2003 by the U.S. Supreme Court, a newspaper reported Sunday.
A July 18 arrest was the most recent for a man who merely discussed or agreed to have sex with a male undercover agent, The Advocate (http://bit.ly/13mSpdc) reported.
Although sex in public and solicitation of "unnatural carnal copulation" for money are illegal in Louisiana, neither element was part of these 12 cases, and most of the men were arrested after agreeing to have sex away from the park at a private residence, District Attorney Hillar Moore III told the newspaper.
"The Sheriff's Office's intentions are all good," Moore said. "But from what I've seen of these cases, legally, we found no criminal violation."
Metro Councilman John Delgado said Sheriff Sid Gautreaux owes an apology to the men arrested and the entire parish.
The Supreme Court ruled in 2003 that a Texas law against oral or anal sex was invalid. Louisiana was among nine states which had such laws. Richard Ieyoub, then attorney general, said the high court's ruling made Louisiana's law unenforceable.
However, "crime against nature" remains part of Louisiana law, punishable by up to five years at hard labor and a $2,000 fine. The criminal code accessible through the Legislature's website states, without defining what makes copulation unnatural, that "Crime against nature is the unnatural carnal copulation by a human being with another of the same sex or opposite sex or with an animal."
Gautreaux has told the Capital City Alliance, a city-wide nonprofit for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, that deputies "will no longer be enforcing this law until the courts or the legislature removes it," the organization said in an emailed statement.
The sheriff's office sent a statement Sunday to the newspaper saying it "should have taken a different approach" to worries about park safety, the newspaper reported (http://bit.ly/14pLnEv).
"We will consult with others in the legislative and judicial branches to see what can be done to remove this law from the criminal code that each deputy receives and to also find alternative ways to deter sexual and lewd activity from our parks," it said.
The sheriff's office said it only meant to respond to calls from parents, park officials and members of the public about safety concerns at parks.
"When we receive reports of public masturbation, sex and other lewd activity in a park where children are playing, we must take these concerns seriously," the statement says. "Our intent was honorable. Our approach, however, is something we must evaluate and change."
In an email to the sheriff's office, Delgado wrote that its response Sunday sensationalized the matter by using terms like "lewd conduct" and "public masturbation" and suggesting that children were present during the arrests.
"The newspaper article makes it quite clear that nothing of the sort occurred in these 12 arrests," Delgado says. "These men were arrested even though they were innocent of any crime."
Delgado said he will file public records requests Monday to determine when the District Attorney's Office informed the Sheriff's Office that the men targeted had committed no crime.
"You cannot simply hide behind not knowing that the law had been changed by the U.S. Supreme Court decision in 2003," Delgado's email says. "The Sheriff's actions are a violation of the civil rights of these men under the 5th and 14th amendments. Ignorance of the law is no excuse ... Doesn't your office tell people that all the time?"
Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Casey Rayborn Hicks said the office has no record of being informed that the District Attorney's Office would not pursue charges in the cases.

Intercollegiate Athletics is committed to offering 364 scholarships authorized by the NCAA. Each year, however, mounting tuition and housing costs place greater pressures on the athletic department. Intercollegiate Athletics currently funds more than $10 million annually for student-athletes in 31 varsity sports. In such a climate, establishing endowed scholarships is one of our highest priorities.
Unlike typical philanthropic gifts, which are spent immediately to benefit the area of the donor's choice, gifts to endowments are invested and yield an annual income based on market performance. This income, which averages 4.5 percent of the endowments current value, is spent each year in accordance with guidelines set by the donor.
Forever Blue & White, allows donors to have a truly lasting impact on the program of their choice. They benefit student-athletes and coaches and create a legacy that will continue to support Intercollegiate Athletics now and in perpetuity.
If you would like more information about Endowment Giving click here.

Between student-athletes and their public practice patients, the Penn State Sports Medicine's staff of twenty-five professionals sees over 90,000 patient encounters each year. Through this medical care, Penn State Sports Medicine helps Penn State maintain a winning athletics program while remaining dedicated to our core values of opportunity, loyalty, equity and success.
In addition to the exceptional cost of treating routine injuries, our annual cost for treating serious injuries exceeds $2 million, a figure comprised of out-of-pocket costs (i.e., labs, tests, surgery, etc.), office visit costs and staff costs.
An increasing percentage of our student-athletes have no medical insurance, often because of low socioeconomic status, divorce, or single-parent homes. Even when student-athletes do have insurance, policies generally refuse to cover injuries suffered in intercollegiate competition. As a result, Penn State must shoulder all of their medical expenses.

Clean water. We drink it, we wash our food with it, we even clean our streets with it. With such an abundance of access to clean water, its easy to forget over 1 billion people on the planet are without it. This lack of access kills more people each year than all other forms of violence on earth - including war. Each week, 42,000 people die, mostly children, from diseases borne out of dirty water. But we can do something about it.
Here's how.
Rubicon Property, www.rubiconNYC.com, seeks to connect the essential element of living in the US, which is real estate, with the essential element of the developing world, which is clean water. Every 90 days our firm is committed to funding the construction of 1 clean water well. Even if you aren't in the market, you can still make a difference.
On this page you can make a contribution that goes directly to those in need. We hope you will join us in helping to bring clean water to a community in need.

Extreme Makeover
By Dahlia Lithwick
In 2003, the United States Supreme Court decided the case of Lawrence v. Texas, ruling, by a six-to-three margin, that anti-sodomy laws were unconstitutional. Even those of us who followed the case had a rather gauzy notion of what had triggered the litigation. On the night of September 17, 1998, someone made a phone call to the police, warning that a black man was "going crazy with a gun" in an apartment just outside Houston. A clutch of sheriff's deputies stormed the apartment, and found no gun, but they arrested John Geddes Lawrence and Tyron Garner for having sex in Lawrence's bedroom. And, in an unlikely series of legal twists, the arrests of Lawrence and Garner became a vehicle for challenging old anti-sodomy laws that were used solely to shame and stigmatize gay couples. Lawrence and Garner were arrested for simply doing what loving couples do.

I am going to try and keep this short.
Lately, and as of lately I mean in the last 2 or 3 years, there has been a flood of exploitative micro-transactions in many video games. Be it "horse armor" type "dlc", parts of the game that were cut out to be made into DLC ( sometimes essentials, other times non-essentials ) or the thousands of weapons/packs/xp boosts... etc that you can buy to cheat your way in the multi-player.
Despite this I have seen a almost no mention of them in the discussion about the games. For example, Forza which was discussed at length has so many micro-transactions that you can literally spend hundreds of dollars in that game. Same goes with things like BF4 a game that is basically MP only and the MP is based on progression, yet micro-transactions that allow you to basically out right cheat half the MP got only a short mention.
I understand the old: "Don't like it, don't buy it" mentality, but on the same side of the coin people will be tempted to buy games they hear more about, and if the negative aspects are not mentioned you end up with people buying those games and not thinking about the negatives. I understand that micro transactions are not part of gameplay and game-press generally gets some booster packs + most people working for GB have enough money not to really care for a few dozen dollars extra to a game they got for free, but I really think there should be a bit more involvement from the guys in warning people about micro transactions and calling out the games that have them in a very negative light, because a game that sells for 60$ should be judged as a 60$ game and a game that you bought for 60$ and got 100$ worth of stuff in DLC/packs for should be judged as a 160$ game.
Am I talking bullshit ? Or would you like to hear a bit more discussion around the nickel and dimming that goes on in the current games.

I spent most of the evening yesterday in Hellfire Peninsula questing. I was completely pissed when I completed a quest to (get this) place torch beacons under four towers at an orc camp, and was rewarded with a blue chest piece which was BETTER than my Robe of the Archmage!!!!! I went to LBRS until I was sick of it before the pattern dropped for me. Then I had to farm the materials for it! Boggles the mind what the Outland instances will drop.
Edit: yay, 400th post. :P
So you changed your opinion from just ok to your loving it? That's cool. I will say this expansion did just that for this game. It made the World of Warcraft world HUGE! There is so much content in this game and you can actually park your self at lvl 60 for a bit and get good gear or go all the way. WoW really is the best MMO bar none. I know some people hate WoW but I for one love it. I tried to quit the game 4 times but I always came back. I am sure I will be playing this game at least through the summer.
