Championships Matter.
24 Years and Counting...
I think neglecting LF in the offseason (or at least not being successful) has been Walt's one big gaffe since he's been here.
This place use to be fun
When a team gets two hits, and one is by the pitcher, you usually just have to tip your hat to the other team's pitchers.
The same team scored 9 runs 24 hours ago. Really not worried about the offense.

I don't believe the existing threads are salvageable and even if they were, there would always be lingering doubt. BMW has an oversize plug for a good reason - I'm willing to bet ham fisted mechanics screw up these threads all the time. There's plenty of material on the housing to allow going to an oversize plug. The trick will be to drill and tap squarely without showering the internals with chips and debris. I watched a You Tube video tonight highlighting the grease method of catching chips - it was hilarious. All he succeeded in doing was dropping a big blob of contaminated grease into the spark plug hole he was repairing. He eventually retrieved it with a shop vac.
I like your idea, Plaka, of using positive compressed air (I believe that's what you mean) to keep debris out as I drill and tap. Could probably do it with the drain hole on its side rather than it facing up to lessen the effects of gravity.
Alternately, I could open up the gearbox again (already replaced the seals and gasket) but would prefer not to.
Overall, the larger plug has the advantage of being a more permanent solution - there's evidence to suggest inserts sometimes fail on components that are often removed and everything I've read about airhead transmissions indicates oil should be changed regularly.
No, not air. I'm grinding on an airhead strait oil filter with a high speed burr. it makes very small particles that won't go upstream against an air flow. I have an electric leaf blower, a shopvac that blows and a big gas compressor to choose from.
For larger particles you want something with more mass than air to provide the flow you work against. if you have a parts washer that's ideal. Stuff the nozzle in the fill opening. You can also use a garden hose with the sweeper nozzle. You don't need a blast, just a strong fluid flow. Using water you would finish by a flush with a water displacing solvent like WD40 ($20/gal). Then mount it, put the driveshaft on with the old bolts, take the rear wheel off and load it with cheap engine oil. Spin it with the engine for a minute, change the oil, repeat several times until the oil comes out clear. Then a flush or two with 90 wt and you're done. You can reclaim your flushing materials by heating them to 160 - 200F (use a candy thermometer or similar that registers degrees) for a few hours to drive off the moisture.
The thing is, you need the tranny oriented so you get your best shot with the drill and tap. I would bolt a square of plywood to the output end so it stands nicely wherever you're working (driveway, bathtub, etc). This is the problem with gravity and grease methods. you want to be looking strait down at the hole with the unit on the ground or a low bench so you can get over it.
You can use a drill press. Just take the press outside and then hose it with spray wd40 so it doesn't rust.
You want to use a 15mm drill bit for an m16 thread.
A high spiral flute drill would be ideal because they clear the chips upwards out of the hole more strongly than other types. But costly and I didn't spot one in a reduced shank, which means you need a 3/4" chuck. A reduced shank bit will work in a 1/2" drill. Rent one if you don't have one.
15mm-1/2" shank,
You might be able to rent taps too. Call around . Spiral flute tap would be ideal, same reason as the drill..., but very expensive. May need a semi-bottoming tap depending on how much past the hole you can go. This is critical, how much clearance do you have on the other side of the hole? If you are essentially doing a blind hole you will need two taps, a plug tap to get started and a bottoming tap to finish. This is a plug tap, pretty general purpose type.
You need a big tap wrench and unfortunately these can be the most difficult to get started strait. But you can do it if you go slow and step back and eyeball it as soon as you have enough thread for the tap to stand in the work. You can still re-align at this point.
Or you can get a helicoil kit for $45 that has everything but the tap handle. Again, beware the depth behind the hole. I can look at my kits and tell you what kind of taps they use. Installed correctly, they are a lot stronger than the original hole (stainless steel threads and much bigger) and are often used for this reason, not to make a repair.. You can make them fail, but it will take a lot more than what failed the original threads. You hear stories of them coming out---they weren't put in correctly. I put a 10mm in I-forget-what the other day where I needed to reinforce a very thin walled piece. That helicoil in red locktite was too perfect. Timeserts are even better, but costly. (If only I could remember what I was working on

Chinese incursion issue: VHP hits out at UPA govt
Jammu: Accusing the UPA government for its weak policies on border issues, VHP on Wednesday hit out at Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for terming the Chinese incursion in Ladakh as a localised one and said such statements pose a threat to national security.
"Statements made by the PM that it (Chinese incursion) was a localised issue and by the Home Minister that it was a disputed area, are shocking," state Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) president Dr Ramakant Dubey told reporters here today.
Defence Minister AK Antony and Foreign Minister Salman Khurshid too, need to share the responsibility for the border impasse, he said.
"If the Prime Minister cannot safeguard the country`s borders and provide security to the nation...He should step down from his post," Dubey said.
"The present dispensation at the Centre is engrossed with corruption, rapes and financial scandals and has no time to address issues concerning the nation," Dubey said, urging the Centre to take more effective steps to secure the country and explore diplomatic, military and economic means to solve the dispute.
"(Centre) should create pressure through diplomatic and trade relations and also send forces to counter the Chinese troops," he said.
Dubey also appealed to people to boycott Chinese goods to exert pressure on China.
"India is a huge market for China. Chinese goods worth millions of dollars are sold in India; we should boycott the use of these products," he added.

Anna Katharina Emmerick, as Seen by an Orthodox
Interview With Lebanese Artist and Historian Lina Murr Nehme
VATICAN CITY, OCT. 4, 2004 (Zenit) - An Orthodox artist and historian who published a new version of "The Bitter Passion of Christ" thinks charges of anti-Semitism against newly beatified Anna Katharina Emmerick are off the mark.
Lebanese Lina Murr Nehme has written numerous books on history, art and exegesis. Her new work, published by Fran�ois-Xavier de Guibert and illustrated with beautiful iconography, has gone on sale in French bookstores.
Murr Nehme, who attended today's beatification Mass of the German mystic, spoke with us.
Q: What is the message Anna Katharina Emmerick for our times?
Murr Nehme: I believe her essential message is ecumenical and that those who accuse her of being sectarian do not know her. For her, men and women are not good or bad according to their religion or ideas, but on account of their actions.
For example, she describes Pilate and the chief Jewish priests with the same severity, but uses a very different tone when she speaks of Pilate's wife, or of the Jews, or of the compassionate Romans who showed merciful gestures toward this person who, for them, was neither God nor the Messiah, but a simple convict.
It is true that in "The Bitter Passion" she writes accusations especially against the Jews, but it is because she recounts a tragedy that took place in Jewish land. When she recounts tragedies that have taken place in pagan lands, she accuses the pagans. In fact, it's logical: The crowd, with some exceptions, in general persecutes, and the scene of the Passion demonstrates it forcefully.
Q: You are Orthodox. Why were you interested in Anna Katharina Emmerick?
Murr Nehme: In heaven there is no Orthodox schism. Either Anna Katharina Emmerick lived the Gospel and is in heaven and so belongs to us all, or she did not live it and then we are not interested in her.
To be Orthodox or Catholic does not change the attitude of one Church toward the saints of the other, as we think alike on the important problems of the faith. I don't understand why I should deprive myself of half the saints.
Union is an enrichment, and in fact I have written on the biblical arguments that have convinced me of the legitimacy of the Pope in an appendix of my book "1453: Mahomet II Impose le Schisme Orthodoxe" [1453: Mohammed II Imposes the Orthodox Schism], although it is a very long question which we do not have time to speak about now.
Q: Has Emmerick influenced your way of seeing the Pope and other elements of the faith?
Murr Nehme: Yes. The moment I realized she recounted things, which in the main were logical, I felt obliged, out of honesty, to admit my very mistaken view of the papacy, the Old Testament, Moses, the prophets and the Jews of ancient times.
I did research in the Bible, and I felt obliged to acknowledge that what it said about the Jews and their prophets was right from the evangelical point of view. This rethinking has been one of the most painful experiences of my life, and certainly the most painful for my pride.
I think it is ridiculous to accuse Anna Katharina Emmerick of anti-Semitism, when she obliges the readers most hostile to the Jews to rehabilitate them in what they have that is most sacred and to love them.
Q: How did you get to know about Anna Katharina Emmerick?
Murr Nehme: French priests spoke to me about her when I was young. They lent me the book on the Passion. I opened it, and closed it immediately: "It's a hoax," I thought.
But 10 years later, when I wanted to write a book on Christ, I realized that, apart from the Bible and Flavius Josephus, there were practically no other writings of that time that spoke of that society. The majority, unfortunately, have disappeared.
And as I was told that Anna Katharina offered historical and archaeological information, which was later proved to be correct, I bought her books to be able to have avenues that I could later verify or reject through my research. I never quote Anna Katharina in my scientific works, but I owe what I write to the research I have done to verify what she said.
Q: How do you describe Anna Katharina the nun?
Murr Nehme: I think that, first of all, she must be situated in her order, that of the Augustinians, which was also the order of Martin Luther and Erasmus.
It is a curious coincidence, as Anna Katharina is their antithesis, especially the antithesis of Erasmus.
Anna Katharina, as Erasmus, had a decisive influence on the Europe of her times with her writings. However, Erasmus was dedicated to criticizing; Anna Katharina did the opposite.
In fact, she was the victim of the spirit of ridicule and hostility that he sowed. If she ...

"The Daily Show's" Rob Corddry told the Twittersphere that it is "the best thing ever." Kristen Bell, star of "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," recommended that her followers read it, "unless you're allergic to laughing hysterically."
Actress Alyssa Milano, comedian George Lopez and singer/songwriter John Mayer (who himself has more than 2 million Twitter followers) also reportedly subscribe to the posts.
Halpern said he waited about a month to tell his dad, a retired doctor who grew up on a Kentucky farm, that he had thousands of fans on the Internet -- and in Hollywood.
"I really just put these online just to keep a record of them," Halpern said, adding that, as an "angsty kid" he used to keep journals of his dad's more infuriating comments.
As he grew older, Halpern entertained friends by posting his dad's juiciest gems on his Google chat status. Soon after he moved in with his parents earlier this summer, a friend suggested he preserve them on Twitter.
So he started choosing one winner a day to post online.
"I honestly didn't think anyone but the five people I sent it to who knew my dad would find it funny," he said. But he woke up one day to find 40,000 new followers. And then 100,000. And then 200,000. And the numbers kept climbing.
"It's super weird. It's cool," he said. "I was not expecting any of that."
When he told his father about the book, Halperin says his dad had two stipulations: No interviews and no money.
"'I don't want any money. I have my own,'" Halperin recalled his dad's reaction.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) — Coach Mike Smith is giving the Atlanta Falcons four days off following a victory over the rival New Orleans Saints.
Falcons' third-down woes on offense concern Smith
When they return to practice on Tuesday, Smith will have the offense focus hard on correcting third-down problems that could have cost them against the Saints.
"We'll have a Falcons-on-Falcons day to get us back in the routine," Smith said on Friday. "Rest a couple of our guys that need to be rested. It comes at an ideal time."
The timing does seem good. Players and coaches will use the days off to relax after taking a narrow victory at Tampa Bay last Sunday and beating New Orleans 23-13 at the Georgia Dome four nights later.
Atlanta's tendencies this season are obvious: When the offense struggles, the defense shines — as was the case on Thursday — but the next couple of games might be just the opposite.
Quarterback Matt Ryan points out, however, that the Falcons, despite their difficulties in one phase or the other, are winning as a team.
With an 11-1 record, something is clearly going right, and the special teams — highlighted by Matt Bryant's 55-yard field goal in the fourth quarter — do their part, too.
But the performance of a defense that intercepted Saints quarterback Drew Brees a career-high five times and snapped his NFL record 54-game touchdown streak held up an offense labored to convert a third down and keep New Orleans' offense off the field.
"I think, like I said before, the three phases have stepped up at different times this year and made plays for us and that's huge," Ryan said after finishing with a season-low 165 yards passing. "Specifically tonight the defense made a bunch of plays. That's what good teams do, you find ways to win and hopefully, offensively, we can play moving forward."
Thursday's win was different because Atlanta, which still has the NFL's most second-most efficient offense in third-down efficiency, converted none of its first nine chances before Julio Jones' fourth-quarter catch set up Matt Bryant's field goal and the game's final points.
The Falcons started with a strong rushing attack and finished with five runs over 12 yards.

It was announced that former Vice President Dick Cheney will host a fundraiser for Mitt Romney in July. Because when you think master of ceremonies at a fundraiser, the name Dick Cheney comes immediately to mind.
Those Obama isn't working, Solyndra, stimulus package, and Obamacare jokes ought to be a hoot. One can only imagine the fomer Veep bringing the funny:
"I look at Obama policies over the last 3 and a half years and they get on my case for torture."
"I haven't got the heart for another four years of Obama —- and most Americans don't have the stomach."
"This president likes to sing. In November he'll be singing his swan song."
No doubt the laughs will be accompanied by cheers and sneers.
Cheney's loyal daughter Lizzie Borden Cheney will be at his side at the fundraiser. Unless it conflicts with her psychiatrist's advice to her that she attend that retreat for girls with really, really serious daddy issues.
But what would happen if the comic they hired to bring on the funny went off-script and tore into those in attendance? Before those in attendance went after him with torches and pitch-forks, it might go something like this:
"Good to be here tonight, Mr. Vice President . I can assure you that Mitt Romney's heart is in the right place. Have you checked to see if yours is?
We don't want to make the Veep laugh too hard. If he does, his mechanical ticker will set off the water sprinklers."
I havent seen this much jewelry in one place since I had dinner with the Gingriches.
What's the difference between the jewelry worn here and the jewelry worn at an Obama fundraiser? It's worn by women here.
I can tell the Veep liked that one. He gave it two sneers instead of one.
But seriously, folks. There's a lot of money in this crowded hall. Almost as much as Mitt Romney made off with while at Bain.
You can tell the Koch brothers are here. Mitt Romney is waiting their table.
Karl Rove is also here. Everybody is enjoying their prime rib. So is Karl. He's the only one who ordered his raw.
The Veep is OK with same-sex marriage. It's true. That's because he has a family member who is gay. So why's the other one called Lizzy?
I had a campaign jingle in mind for Lizz if she ever decided to run for a seat in the House of Representatives. It was a hip-hop number called 'Let's put Lizzy in the Hizzy.'
Reince Priebus. If reince forms on your priebus, don't worry, penicillin cures it. What? Oh, Reince Priebus is the chairman of the Republican National Committee?
Everybody's favorite parlor game is who will be Mitt Romney's running mate. Lot of potential candidates. How about Tim Pawlenty? Or as I like to call him, Pawlenty of nothing. On the 100 most respected Americans list, Tim finished behind Flo the Progressive Lady and just above the Tanning Mom.
How about Marco Rubio? He's young, conservative and from the key swing state of Florida. Too bad everybody associates his name with the guy who got divorced from Jennifer Lopez.
Mitt Romney says it's he, not Obama, who has more in common with Bill Clinton. He may have a point:
Mitt Romney likes to skirt issues and Bill Clinton has had issues with skirts.
Mitt Romney once tied a dog to the roof of his car. Bill Clinton once tied up Monica Lewinsky on the roof of the White House and played 'When King Kong first laid eyes on Fay Wray.'
Mitt Romney also likes to wear pants suits. Wait, that's Mitt Romney has more in common with Hillary Clinton….
Hey, where's everybody going? I still haven't talked about our next fundraiser…. Whoa! Watch where you're pointing that pitch-fork!"

Lemon Butter Chicken
28 Mar 2007
I love lemons on everything and created this quick and easy recipe one night. You can reduce the lemon juice for a less lemony taste. I use tenderloins for a shorter cooking time. It is even better if you have the time to marinate. The leftover juice is great served with rice or to dip with Texas Toast or rolls."

|Italian salad dressing
|1⁄3 Cup (5.33 tbs)
|1 , juiced (Zested)
|Worcestershire sauce
|1 Tablespoon
|Chicken tenders
|Lemon pepper
|To Taste
|Garlic salt
|To Taste
|Onion powder
|To Taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the butter in a 9x9 inch baking dish, and melt in the oven. Remove from heat, and mix in Italian salad dressing, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce.
Arrange the chicken tenderloins in the baking dish, coating with the melted butter mixture. Season both sides of chicken with lemon pepper, garlic salt, and onion powder. Sprinkle with lemon zest.

Miffed by survey reports suggesting that JD(U) may perform poorly in general elections, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar Sunday slammed pollsters for projecting NDA's impressive performance at hustings, saying it amounted to nullifying the election process itself.
"If that's what is going to be the outcome (BJP-led NDA's imminent victory in the general elections), then what is the need for holding elections," he said at the JD(U)'s 12th and final 'Sankalp rally' at Deedarganj on the outskirts of the state capital.
Mocking the reports further, Kumar said "If BJP thinks that it has won the general elections on the basis of the opinion polls then what's the need to contest the polls altogether?…..it should go ahead and form the next government at the Centre."
"Modi should go ahead and take oath as the Prime Minister straightaway if he and BJP think that they have won the general elections on the basis of the survey reports," the Chief Minister said.
Kumar lashed out at pollsters for suggesting that his government in Bihar was popular even today to the extent that 68 per cent people have reposed faith in it, but yet they will vote for the BJP-led alliance in the general elections.
"How come it's possible that the people surveyed by the pollsters are happy with this government's performance and yet they desire to vote for another alliance at hustings? The assessment is an outright contradiction," he said.
Kumar also expressed unhappiness with the local media for giving inadequate converge to him and activities of his party of late and said that the JD(U)'s eleven Sankalp rallies held so far had not been reported adequately.
"I ask you (local media) if I or my government are not visible in Bihar then, who else are?" he questioned.
Holding his party's final 'Sankalp rally' in the state capital, which is known to be the political fort of his erstwhile ally, the Chief Minister sought to turn the table on BJP over its "betrayal" allegation following JD(U) parting ways with it last year after 17 years of association to protest Gujarat Chief Minister's elevation as the face of the party for general elections.
"Let me say it once and for all that it was not me who betrayed the BJP, but I was betrayed by the then ally and its leadership," Kumar said.
"I was assured by the top BJP leaders like Rajnath Singh and Nitin Gadkari on the issue of Modi's elevation after I had expressed my reservations about this development," he said, adding that once …continued »

The Atlanta Silverbacks have agreed to a deal that will send forward Jahbari Willis, a Brookwood grad, to the Fort Lauderdale Strikers in exchange for veteran forward Andy Herron, pending USSF approval.
Herron joined the Strikers last season, making 20 total appearances and scoring eight goals. He led the North American Soccer League (NASL) in scoring before injuring his MCL in April, and took home NASL Offensive Player of the Week honors three times in 2012.
"I've known Andy Herron for a long time, and he has been a goal scorer at the highest level," Silverbacks technical director Eric Wynalda said in a team release. "Our intention is to win the league, and we expect him to be a big part of that."
The 35-year-old forward has represented Costa Rica at international level 25 times, scoring seven goals between 2004 and 2009. He appeared for the "Ticos" in both CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying matches and the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Before signing with the Strikers in 2012, Herron played in the top divisions in Costa Rica, Guatemala and the U.S. Perhaps what he is most known for is his pair of stints with Major League Soccer's Chicago Fire, where he made over 60 league appearances and scored 15 goals. In 2006, Herron led the Fire in goals scored with 12 in all competitions, and played an integral role in the club's Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup title that year.
Herron also spent time with MLS side Columbus Crew in 2007, scoring four goals in 18 appearances. Since joining the Strikers, Herron has played against the Silverbacks several times, most recently in the 2013 season opener -- a 2-0 Silverbacks win in Atlanta.
Willis, a former standout at Miami area school Florida International University, started his young career as a member of the Atlanta Silverbacks Reserves (NPSL). After impressing at the reserve level, Willis signed with the first team midway through the 2012 season. The 6-foot-3 forward made a total of 11 appearances for the Silverbacks, adding a pair of assists.
"We want to thank Jahbari for his contribution to the club, and we wish him the absolute best moving forward," Wynalda said.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Trina TriceThe Clayton County Board of Education is scheduled to meet today, two weeks after the board failed to make quorum at its two last called meetings. Because the board didn't make quorum at a secret Saturday meeting held in a College Park hotel nor at its regular meeting place May 21, some believe half of the eight-member board is boycotting an alliance led by board Chairwoman Nedra Ware and Vice Chairwoman Connie Kitchens. "No we are not boycotting called meetings," said member Ericka Davis in an e-mail. "Ironically, because we are not given notice of these meetings in a timely fashion and due to the frequency of which we have been having them of late, we all have busy schedules outside of this board with jobs, children, etc. Proper notice dictates availability. It's always a good idea to poll the board and find out if the date you set is amenable to all and not just a few. You maximize your participation that way n if indeed your goal is inclusion." Davis will attend today's meeting, she said, as will member Barbara Wells who is furthering her fight to have board meetings videotaped and broadcast to the public. Wells and Linda Crummy both sit on the policy committee and are requesting board policy be revised to include videotaping meetings. The amended policy would read: "In an effort to help create a more informed and supportive citizenry, as well as to provide an additional tool for use in preparing accurate board minutes, board meetings which are open to the public will be videotaped and periodically broadcast via the district's public access cable channel. Videos shall be available for inspection (and purchase) upon written request to the superintendent, and as provided for by the Georgia Open Records Act." Wells and Crummy assert the revision passes "the legal test," as they consulted board attorney Gary Sams prior to presenting it to other board members. Although the board could be making some leeway on updating its policies, the superintendent search is at a standstill. The board has been unable to proceed with the search "because the process was faulty to begin with," Davis said. "We need to start over," she said. "It must be opened up again and a real national search conducted by a reputable firm. Let them [the firm] narrow down the candidates. Allow the press to have the final three names and the community to interview the final three and the board make the final choice. This board needs to establish credibility and legitimacy to how we manage this system and this is the best way to do it. We can not ask taxpayers to invest in the system with their hard-earned dollars without working to ensure that they and the children of this county reap the benefits of their investment. We've got a lot of work to do and over the next couple of months." Other business likely to be covered at the meeting include a report on special education. Although the department won't experience many changes in its federal, state or local funding, it is short on teachers, said Tom Ermandczyk, director of special education. "Statewide, the need for special education teachers is reaching a critical level," he said. "Georgia does not produce enough teachers. The state turns out less than 50 percent of the teachers we need. "Our federal funding has continued to increase which we are very grateful for," Ermandczyk said. "But our student population has increased, too. We have not received a federal cut. That is the really good news. I feel like we have a strong program in Clayton County." The program will get stronger if the state's Professional Standards Commission approves a Teacher Alternative Preparation Program the school system's staff development recently proposed. The program would allow staff development to offer courses to individuals with bachelor's degrees. While taking the courses, participants would work toward earning certification in teaching. "We're real excited about it," Ermandczyk said. "We wouldn't just be relying on the state to provide teachers, we'd be preparing our own."

My long blonde hair needs some serious TLC, but I don't know that I had a big enough sample to find out if this would do the trick. I think it was helping but I'm not sure based on all the other products I started trying at the time. I enjoyed the scent and high quality creaminess of the mask though!3
I haven't noticed a difference in my hair since using this product. It also doesn't have a great smell. It's not bad, but not great. Its easier to use the Deeeep Conditioner from Aussie and it's only $3. Also, for those of you who don't know, this product is SMALL. It's only good for 3-5 uses depending on how much hair you have. I knew that going in and got it anyway to try and now I'm glad I didn't get a larger size. Just FYI2

Don Cherry criticizes Nail Yakupov's celebration in Oilers victory
Hockey Night in Canada commentator Don Cherry calls Oilers rookie Nail Yakupov an 'idiot' for his over-the-top celebration after scoring the tying goal in Edmonton's 2-1 win over the Kings on Thursday.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Don Cherry was not impressed with Nail Yakupov's post-goal hijinks.
The commentator criticized the Edmonton Oilers rookie in his weekly Hockey Night in Canada segment on Saturday for his exuberant celebration earlier in the week.
Yakupov scored the tying goal with 4.7 seconds left in the third period as Edmonton went on to beat the Los Angeles Kings 2-1 in overtime on Thursday.
The top pick in the 2012 NHL entry draft then skated to centre ice, dropped to his knees and slid into the Oilers' defensive end as Edmonton's fans cheered in approval.
"If anytime you want to make our highlights at the start (of the show) just act like an idiot like this, you'll get in our highlights," said Cherry, as a clip of Yakupov's celebration played.
Cherry didn't like Yakupov showing up Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick, who lay prone on the ice after the goal.
"Here's the MVP of the National Hockey League, here's the best goaltender in the world, he's embarrassed him, laying there like that," said Cherry. "I'm telling you they — L.A. — is going to remember this. They will remember this to the dying day.
"You don't do stuff like that."
Yakupov's celebration was reminiscent of Theo Fleury's fist-pumping reaction to scoring the game-winning goal in Game 6 of the 1991 Smythe Division semifinals when the Calgary Flames edged Edmonton in overtime.
Cherry made that connection and pointed out that, ultimately, Fleury's celebration served to motivate the Oilers to a decisive victory in Game 7 of that series.
"(Oilers captain Mark) Messier goes in the dressing room and says, 'Are we going to lose to these guys with that Fleury acting like that, embarrassing us?'" said Cherry. "'We gotta go out and win this game' and they went out and won the game.
"You cannot act like that."
Earlier in Cherry's segment he criticized former Maple Leafs head coach Ron Wilson for mishandling the roster put together by former GM Brian Burke.
"Is this team not truculent, belligerent, pugnacious, and all that stuff?" asked Cherry, invoking Burke's infamous catchphrase. "This is exactly the team (Burke) wanted and Wilson screwed him up."

A physician/doctor in pediatrics is a medical practitioner that works directly with children. Also known as pediatricians, these doctors collaborate with nurses, X-ray technicians, medical assistants, and other doctors (such as emergency room doctors and surgeons) to treat children. A typical day for a pediatrician may include appointments with sick children, conducting physicals to assess overall health, prescribing medicine, discussing treatment options with families, coordinating with other medical professionals for diagnosis, dealing with pediatric emergencies, and educating parents about their children's illness and how to assist in the treatment process. Pediatricians may work during regular business hours or other shifts depending on the needs of their employer; some pediatricians work in private practice, and others work in hospitals and clinics that are open 24 hours a day. Most of this work is performed indoors in a medical setting.Read More...
To become a pediatrician, individuals must first get a bachelor's degree and apply to medical school. Once accepted, they complete four years of medical school and receive the medical degree and begin a residency in their chosen field. Pediatricians must have basic computer skills, as lots of hospitals use digital records. They must also have strong interpersonal skills, as most of their interaction is often with sick children and their (often worried) parents. This may be a high-stress position, so the ability to work in high-stress situations and handle unexpected issues and outcomes.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Pediatricians with more experience do not necessarily bring home bigger paychecks. In fact, experience in this field tends to impact compensation minimally. The average inexperienced employee pulls down a cushy six-figure sum; the median salary for people claiming fewer than five years of experience is $138K. Pediatricians with one to two decades of relevant experience report an average salary of approximately $153K. As Pediatricians reach more than two decades on the job, compensation remains commensurate with experience; the average pay in this group is $167K.

"Drunk Tank Pink: And Other Unexpected Forces That Shape How We Think, Feel, and Behave"
By Adam Alter; Penguin, 261 pages
The idea that one's environment plays a strong role in shaping an individual is not a new one. I can remember learning about the whole "nature versus nurture" concept in school, and to be honest with you, I didn't find this argument very compelling. Probably my young age at the time, and a less than exciting teaching style by Teacher X are to blame for my casual dismissal of an interesting topic. Looking back, I now realize that some educational topics are best appreciated at a wiser, more mature stage of life.
Thank goodness, then, for fabulous nonfiction titles such as "Drunk Tank Pink." Adam Alter's engaging study about how environmental forces can affect a person's emotional, intellectual, and behavioral development is fascinating stuff. And the best part of all? Instead of having to grind through a dull textbook, or an even duller professorial lecture, you can go to the library, check out Alter's book, sit in the comfort of your home, and become oh-so-much-smarter.
The title refers to a discovery made in the 1970s that a particular shade of pink had the ability to calm down agitated criminal offenders. When prisons began to use pink paint to help subdue riled-up prisoners, the shade became known as "Drunk Tank Pink." It didn't take long for the "soothing" color to spread to the walls of medicine (to help comfort nervous patients), sports (in the hope that pink locker rooms for visiting teams would cause adrenaline-pumped opponents to "float like a butterfly" rather than "sting like a bee"), and even some charitable organizations in the belief that such a happy, comforting color encouraged more donations. Amazing what power one color can wield on an unsuspecting population!
What other possible environmental influences does Alter delve into? How about culture, locations, and, most intriguing to me, names. As Shakespeare so famously queried, what's in a name? Well, just because a person's last name happens to be Singer doesn't mean that person is destined for a life in music. But, it's hard to ignore the link between surname and occupation when reading chapter one in Adam Alter's book. Identified as "nominative determinism" in a 1994 issue of the journal New Scientist, the idea that a person could experience a "name-driven outcome" had been proposed some time earlier by no other than Carl Jung, the well-known psychiatrist. In the 1994 article, several real-life examples were presented: Anna Smashnova, a professional tennis player; Usain Bolt, the fastest man in the world at the time; and, (my favorite), Drs. A.J. Splatt and D. Weedon, experts in urology.
Whether or not you believe in the assertion that nature has as much influence on our development as the very human act of nurturing, this week's title is sure to stimulate the mind. I have to wonder about something, though. If I had decided to keep my maiden name, Campbell, might I have become, not a sous chef, but a "soup chef"? Hmm, I think I'll stick with librarianship for now.

NEW ORLEANS, LA - OCTOBER 31: Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams of the New Orleans Saints looks on prior to the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers at the Louisiana Superdome on October 31, 2010 in New Orleans, Louisiana. (Photo by Matthew Sharpe/Getty Images)
Former New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams has agreed to become an assistant head coach for defense for the Tennessee Titans, CBSSports.com reported Sunday, based on league source. Williams cannot be officially added to the Titans staff until he is reinstated to the league after being suspended for a year as a result of his part in the Bountygate affair. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is expected to meet with Williams next week to discuss his reinstatement. It's unclear the exact role Williams would fill with his title of assistant head coach-defense, but presumably he would act as defensive coordinator. This would be Williams' second stint with the Titans, having previously served as an assistant coach there from 1997 to 2000, when he served under then Titans coach Jeff Fisher, now coach of the St. Louis Rams.

Nice fake tits, awful fake eyelashes, boring fake sex... May 31, 2007
Reviewer: Xcaliber
This woman has the most beautiful tits you could wish for but they are fake.
Her body: skinny, flexible, youthful, sexy. Her character: wierd, strange, quirky. The sex: uninspired. She moans repeatedly but does not seem to be getting off. The guys just pound away with no sense of how to excite this woman. Save your money! Don't let this woman cash in on her fake tits without delivering the porno goods. Too bad, I was excited to see some amateur vids here, hoping for something more real but what I got was lame sex.

The San Diego Padres have sent right-handed reliever Ernesto Frieri to the Los Angeles Angels for infielder Alexi Amarista and right-hander Donn Roach, both minor leaguers. Frieri was 1-0 with a 2.31 ERA in 11 appearances before Thursday's trade. He was the longest tenured player in the Padres organization, signing as a non-drafted free agent at 17 in January 2003. The native of Colombia made his big league debut with San Diego in 2009. The Padres will fill his spot on the 25-man roster Friday before the opener of a home series against the Miami Marlin. Amarista hit .273 with12 RBIs in 18 games for Triple-A Salt Lake. He'll be assigned to Tucson. Roach was 5-0 with a 2.16 ERA with Class-A Inland Empire.

Are there any reviews of the GTX 550 Ti
I was looking for benchmarks and some kind of review but I could not find one.I was just wondering how fast is it since it is just $150 and newegg has a lot of tehm.
Re: Are there any reviews of the GTX 550 Ti
Andandtech has one up that says its meh for the money.
Re: Are there any reviews of the GTX 550 Ti
I see why it was launch quietly,not nothing to write home about ,and you would be better off spending $10 more and get a HD6850.Plus the GTX 460 768mb is a faster card if you are not running high resolutions and needing that extra memory.

Minimum noise, easy speed control and a high power, those are another reasons why to decide for GreenTech EC fans from EBM-Papst.
A term "EC fan" (electronic commutation) is generally used to mark energy-saving AC fans. In fact, these are DC (brushless) fans with AC/DC module and other electronics. EC fans reach up to 90% efficiency and they consume 50% less energy than traditional AC fans.
At the same time, a typical "50Hz" motor noise is eliminated at EC fans and practically the only noise source is aerodynamic noise depending on overall fan design.
A good example of a modern fan is for example the type G1G140-AW31-42 i.e. radial (centrifugal) fan with 140mm diameter. Efficient motor with a "Soft start" function enables to control fan speed through a DC input (0-10V) or PWM. To check a proper function, the fan also features "Tach" output (2 pulses / revolution) as well as locked motor protection.
Thanks to the built-in electronics, at cyclic use it´s recommended to switch-off the motor through a control signal, not by switching-off main power supply.
G1G140-AW31-42 is suitable for a continuous operation (S1) and can be mounted in any position. It´s used for example for building ventilation.
Detailed information will provide you the G1G140-AW31-42 datasheet.
Modern EC fans are able to save up to 50% of energy – [Link]
by Michael Whybray:
Most desk fans I have come across have three speeds: Full Speed, Almost Full Speed, and Off – useless if you want just a gentle air movement, and far too noisy if you are trying to get to sleep (in your bedroom of course, not at your work desk!). The squirrel cage induction motors they use have switches to two or more windings – and possibly a capacitor – to reduce the drive current. But unless the drive frequency is also reduced, the torque and speed stability are poor, so minimal speed reduction is usually available on these fans. Using a triac to provide phase control of the voltage works poorly for the same reason, with the speed very sensitive to the triac firing phase angle and fan load, and has a tendency to stall.
Sleep easy with this desk fan speed reducer – [Link]
New 200mm fans EBM-Papst will cool down your devices while not making a lot of noise.
Maybe you already belong to users of top-level fans from EBM-Papst. This time we bring you another hint for well-proven types – considerably powerful with a 200mm diameter. The types are:
● A2E200-AH38-01 – 9 blade fan with sickle-shaped steel blades, driven by a powerful motor M2E-068 BF with power of 64W/ 230V/ 50Hz. Maintenance-free ball bearings and a thermal protection contribute to a long lifetime of the fan. The motor requires to connect an external capacitor 1.5uF/400V. The fan is suitable for a continuous operation (S1) and it can be mounted in any position.
● W2E200-HK38-01 – 7 blade fan with a full round nozzle from an aluminium alloy and with same motor unit as above-mentioned type. The fan features a very easy installation – mechanically and also electrically, as it also contains a capacitor (1.5uF) assembled to a body of the fan. The fan is suitable for a continuous operation (S1) and it can be mounted in any position.
Naturally, these fans are universally usable not only for cooling of electric devices, but also in air conditioning (HVAC) and in food industry.
Detailed information will provide you the A2E200-AH38-01 and W2E200-HK38-01 datasheets, as well as operating instructions A2E200-AH38-01 and W2E200-HK38-01.
How do you cool in these hot days? – [Link]
If you´re deciding, which fan to use in your application, we have for you a good hint.
Better said, we have any "ideas for top-level types" and they have a name in common – EBM Papst. Fans of German company EBM Papst were introduced to you for example in our article Fans able to operate continuously for 30 years. We´re pleased to announce you, that we gradually increase number of stock types, what will hopefully make your choice of a suitable fan easier and it should also help you in the consequent production thanks to an immediate availability.
To the new types recently added to our stock belong for example:
- 4650N – universal all-metal AC fan (230V/50Hz/19W) with an air flow up to 160 m3/h, Sintec sleeve bearing. Static pressure up to 80 Pa
- G2E120-AR38-A4 – powerful radial (centrifugal) fan with a massive aluminium body and a galvanized steel impeller. Also suitable for a continuous operation (S1) and it can be mounted in any position. Frequently used type for example at gas heaters etc.
- W2S130-AA03-01 – universal powerful AC fan (D 150mm, 230V/50Hz/45W) with an air flow of up to 325 m3/h and a static pressure up to 80 Pa. All-metal construction, maintenance-free ball bearings. Also suitable for a continuous operation (S1)
… and other, which can be found below this article.
Detailed information can be found in the datasheets at particular types.

This project is a temperature controller for a PC FAN. It regulates the speed of the FAN attached to it according to measured temperature. Temperature is sensed using a simple NTC thermistor.
In most PCs the fan runs constantly, which may not be necessary. A simple circuit can regulate the fan speed according to temperature. This not only saves energy, it also reduces fan noise. Only three components are needed to allow the fan speed to be controlled according to the actual temperature: one adjustable voltage regulator (LM317T) and two resistors that form a voltage divider. One of the resistors is a NTC thermistor (temperature-sensitive resistor), while the other is a normal resistor.

Silence at last – or what to do, if a silent operation of a fan matters to us?
Despite features of fans being still more improved, it´s still the fact, that they are usually the biggest noise source in devices. If a given device is intended say for a production hall, where an ambient noise is much higher, we probably don´t have to worry about it. But at devices intended for common rooms, offices, households etc., it´s naturally important to maintain the noise of a device as low as possible. If dimensions of a device allow it, it´s usually better and more silent solution to use a fan with a bigger diameter and a lower rotation speed. However, what to do when the size and a design of a fun suit us, but a power, rotation speed and consequently a noise are still uselessly high?
A partial solution is to decrease a supply voltage. Computer enthusiasts know very well, that a noise of a given fan depends (besides its aerodynamic construction) on its rotation speed. Solid producers like Sunon, specify range of operating voltages and a rotation speed at a given voltage (for example 12V). Also in a datasheet can be usually found even a start voltage, at which a given fan will reliably start to rotate. By a change of a supply voltage, we can change a fan speed, but it´s not possible to go below certain speed (at a given fan type). It´s common, that for example a 12V fan still works at 4V (when decreasing from 12 to 4V) but it´s already not able to start at such a low voltage.
Probably the best solution is to use a slower fan (with a lower rotation speed). Today almost every series of fans is available in 2-3 power levels, what reflects in a noise but also in different power consumption. This can be illustrated on 2 types of the same construction – MEC0251V1-A99 (MEC0251V1-0000-A99) and MEC0251V3-A99 (MEC0251V3-0000-A99). As for a mechanical construction, they are the same. The only difference is only in a rotation speed – 3100 vs. 2200 turns per minute. This is then reflected in a noise 44,5 vs. 34 dB and in a power consumption 5,4 vs. 1,9 Watt. The noise difference 10,5 dB is really big ( 6 dB difference is subjectively perceived as a double volume) and in many cases it´s surely not negligible even a power consumption difference of approx. -65%. Should you still be satisfied with a lower air flow, it´s naturally possible even at these slower types further decrease rotation speed by decreasing a supply voltage. Naturally, there are even more silent fans on the market, but types from company Sunon offer a very good compromise among noise, power and a price.
Choose a fan with a low noise and low power consumption – [Link]
Over 60 years of experiences of German company EBM-PAPST in the fans development reflects in an uncompromising quality of products.
It may sound like a phrase, but to rely on a quality is almost always worth – mainly because of overall savings. Long lifetime and energy efficiency will at the end of the day reflect into lower operation expenses. Quality materials sophisticated construction, precise bearings and results from long-term tests say in favor of EBM-Papst fans. EBM-PAPST has in its testing laboratories 1500 operating fans and there can be even found fans continuously operating from 80´s (!). EBM-Papst is quite stringent regarding a declared lifetime and in comparison to other producers it declares "less optimistic" values, as illustrated on an enclosed picture. It means, that if we compare 2 fans from various producers with similar features, it´s very probable that the type from EBM-Papst will have a higher real lifetime. In the EBM-Papst portfolio can be found practically all types of fans and blowers, from smallest to massive industrial ones, axial, radial (centrifugal), diagonal a tangential. The most of fans is also available in a version resistant to dust and water with IP54. EBM-Papst is a pioneer in the development of energetically efficient fans with a significantly lower power consumption and a quieter operation, for example the ACmaxx and GreenTech_EC series.
EBM-Papst portfolio is very wide, that´s why we keep in stock only a few most wanted types and any other type we´re able to provide you upon request. To the standard stock items we newly added also the type 7056ES – AC fan with of a 150mm diameter. 7056ES is a well proven powerful type with a ball bearing and an all-metal construction. Precise ball bearings SINTEC feature a constant low noise during all the lifetime and a low sensitivity to impacts. 27W motor contains an external capacitor and a thermal fuse against overload. High air flow – 330m3/hr, i.e. over 90 litres per second make this type a universal choice for ventilation of various spaces or cooling of electronics and similar.
Detailed information will provide you the 7056ES datasheet as well as overview of axiálnych AC fans and compact fans from EBM Papst.

The MAX31740 is a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use fan-speed controller. It monitors the temperature of an external NTC thermistor and generates a PWM signal that can be used to control the speed of a 2-, 3-, or 4-wire fan. The fan control characteristics are set using external resistors, thereby eliminating the need for an external microcontroller. Controllable characteristics include the starting temperature for fan control, PWM frequency, fan speed at low temperatures, and slope of the temperature-duty-cycle transfer function.

Zak Kemble build an AVR based PWM fan controller. He writes:
So this is a bit of a continuation on my 555 timer based PWM controllers, but now using microcontrollers and MOSFETs instead of 555 ICs and transistors. I made 2 versions, one with switches for speeding up and down and the other with a potentiometer like the previous controllers. I used ATtiny25 controllers running at 31.25KHz (8MHz internal RC / 256 prescaler) with a 3.3V supply, the MOSFETs I used are STP36NF06L with 0.045Rds and 2.5Vgs max, perfect for 3.3V, the MOSFETs only generate ~180mW of heat at 2A ((0.045Rds * (2A * 2)) = 0.18W) so no heatsink needed, you can barely feel them getting warm.
AVR microcontroller based PWM fan controller – [Link]
Sometimes even a small fan significantly improves thermal conditions in a device. For these cases will serve you the new types of small fans.
Sunon, as an innovative producer of fans and the creator of progressive technologies (VAPO, MAGLEV,…) consistently extends its portfolio, or replaces older types by new ones. This is also the case of new types in our offer – EB40201S2-999, EB60201S1-999 with a sleeve bearing, MB40101V2-A99, MB40201V1-G99, MB50101V2-A99 and MB60101V2-A99 with a VAPO bearing, which gradually replace the KD and KDE series.
New types feature even higher reliability thanks to a construction with a lower count of mechanical parts. They also feature a higher air flow (better flow/pressure characteristics) while keeping the same or a lower noise. If you consider adding an active cooling to your device, whether from the necessity or for increasing of reliability of your device in extreme cases, you can choose from more Sunon, types which we keep in stock. Upon request, we´re able to provide you with any other type from the Sunon portfolio.
Explanation of Sunon fans marking and further information can be found in the following document. Detailed information will provide you the MB4020, ME5010, MB6010 and MB6020 datasheets.

At the Aviation Expo/China 2011 last September in Beijing, Fetters told Flightglobal the aircraft has a 78hp (58kW) engine, and an endurance of up to 2.6h at its cruising speed of 177kmh. Fetters is a freelance American UAV designer who resides in China.
Fetters said the aircraft was designed to monitor powerlines, but SVU200 promotional material depicts it equipped with 18 rocket tubes and a chin-mounted electro optical/infrared sensor. Sunward said the SVU200 has a "maximum useful load" of 244kg.
Sunward plans to sell two units and a ground control station for yuan (CNY) 10 million ($1.6 million). The aircraft can carry a range of weapons and sensors and has two small internal storage compartments.
At the Beijing show a number of of indigenous VTOL UAVs were displayed, most of them developed by Chinese technical institutions, ostensibly for commercial purposes. One of the UAVs at the show, the YOTAISC X200, was also on static display at the exhibition hall of the Singapore Airshow 2012.
The X200 has a maximum payload of 100kg and two contra-rotating main rotors.
