Polo wraps don't really offer much protection in the form of support. They do offer protection from scratches and a little bit of brushing from other legs. I have heard that they can help with circulation during the winter months, but I don't know how much proof there is to that.
I really dn't like them for hacking because burrs and things tend to get stuck in the fabric. Not to mention if you have to cross any water polos are terrible for that.
I like the teknas already posted or woof brushing boots which also have different colours :)

Comments about Look PX 12 XXL Ski Bindings (120mm Brakes) 2012:
I use this product for 60% powder, 20% groomed, and 20% park. These bindings hold up great in all areas and have a great sturdy feel to them. No premature ejections and no slipping to throw off turns. Has a great DIN range for adjustments that may need to be made. Only draw back is the metal framing which adds a lot of weight.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Lies, Damn Lies, Statistics, and Beer Taxes
As our country and state fall further into financial chaos, large gaps are left in state and federal budgets and our elected leaders are challenged for ways to deal with them. Historically, they have turned to "so-called" Sin Taxes, taxes on tobacco and alcohol. I won't deal with tobacco here because while alcohol can be abused, when consumed per manufacturers instructions (moderately and responsibly), alcohol causes n

Ode to Beer
Mirror Mirror on the wall what is the finest beer of all.
Could it be that Bachelor E.S.B. is the beer that is meant for me?
Or is Cascade Ale the top-notch brew, which is meant for me and you.
Or shall I seek Organic Green Lakes, the purest brew that Deschutes makes.
But then there is the flavor of Obsidian Stout, oh it is complex without a doubt.
And the bright hoppy finish from Inversion I.P.A, with soft caramel notes in layers lay.
Happy Holidays from the Portland Pub
Holiday Obligations During the holiday season it is easy to feel scattered and overwhelmed. We may feel obligated to send cards, buy gifts, bake sweets, host parties, or give hostess gifts. But there is no need to feel any obligation when we commit to being our best selves as fully and sincerely as we can. Because then we are already giving the best and most precious gift we have to offer: our presence.
The Economy of Beer
I can't tell you how many people have suggested to me lately that beer is "recession proof", half tongue-in-cheek, but half seriously. They refer, of course, to the Depression-era analogy of people drowning their sorrows in alcohol as a way to escape the desperate situation they are in. I try to explain to them that situation does not exist, certainly not with beer. Even more so with craft beer. However, the craft beer segment of the indu

Windows Vista service pack 1 is due "any time now". Various on-line blogs and articles are saying anywhere from February 1 to February 15, although Microsoft could wait all the way until the end of March and still meet their "Q1 2008" official time-line.
Vista will be released via Microsoft Update, WSUS, and System Center Essentials. However, there is a problem... Windows Server 2003 sp1 and Windows Server 2003 sp2 cannot verify the electronic signature on files as large as the service pack! Once you approve the update, you will download the service pack, verification will fail, and you'll download it again... not a loop you want to get into with WSUS.
There is a hotfix. This falls into the "get it, install it, don't forget it" category.
The hotfix is KB 938759, "You cannot distribute or install a software package in Windows Server 2003 if the software package contains a very large signed file".
This is from the System Center Essentials Team Blog.

In thinking about my design for the window, there was always the delicate balance between reality and theatre. While I did aim to create a space—and a story—for a "real" woman living in New York...
While the search for artwork began back in November, it didn't end until just a few weeks ago during the framing event we did with Larson-Juhl in Atlanta. Here I am with Jaithan and our good friend Steve McKenzie, president and CEO of the company.
While most of you probably know Larson-Juhl for their quality frames, there's another part of the company called Artaissance, a great online source for affordable art. Every piece is printed-to-order, so whatever space you're working with, it's almost fully customizable. Now I'm the first to admit that art can be such a personal experience, but what I like about Artaissance is that it provides a venue for those artists that want their art more accessible. Take, for example, Tasmanian artist Campbell Laird.
Searching the database at Artaissance, both Jaithan and I were immediately drawn to this pigment ink print, titled Cirsk #1. Like most of Laird's work, it explores relationships between line, shape and color. But of all of his images, I loved this one for its bold color and geometry. It was modern to the core and exactly what a wall with traditional moldings would need to bring the room to life!Hinson splatter wallpaper in tonal blues, the Laird image popped immediately. Now to frame it, I worked closely with the experts at Larson-Juhl, including Steve himself! He's the one who taught me years ago as an editor at House Beautiful about the power of layering moldings to achieve depth. Choosing a frame for art can be intimidating, I know, but that's where you get to have fun! The mixing, matching, adding and subtracting until you come up with something that sings! Here I chose a combination of three elements: an outer white frame to bring in the wallpaper, a brown one in the same wood finish as our required piece from Bloomingdale's, and a gold fillet to bring in the brass antiques. Finally, I chose to separate the frame from the image itself by several inches of white space, just to give the eye some rest between the wallpaper and the art. Immediately, production began for a piece printed and framed just for my window!
and to its new digs on Lexington Avenue! I especially love the squares of the art with the squares of the rug from Bloomingdale's. It feels bold, outspoken and full of joy, just like the woman who lives here!Larson-Juhl and Artaissance for partnering with us in our window for ELLE DECOR. Alright now, everyone...enough of the back story for now...go on and vote for us here, then text 1 to 89800!

Anything But Random
by Dominick A.K.A. "spwaver", TradingTheCharts.com | March 31, 2008Print
It was something of an intense, emotional close to the week as indices spiked down to levels that left bulls dangling on the edge of a cliff but not enough to instill overwhelming confidence in the bears, even as news and economic data continued to unfold in their favor. The idea of a bottoming process has taken root in Wall Street but fears the economy could be heading towards a deeper than expected recession and the realities of a bear market keep alive the prospect of new lows.
Of course at TTC we don't rely on such conceptions and base our trades on evidence in charts, many of which still suggest the market is closer to near term support than falling over the proverbial cliff. That said, on Friday we attempted to buy a bottom in the 23/20 area but were stopped out as the market fell to 1313. Seeing prices attempt a modest bounce into the close, however, has us looking to Monday�s action to clarify the situation.
The above chart is an example of the big picture information members receive at the start of every week to orient their trading. It's also an illustration of why Elliott wave analysis has not been the most effective way to look at this choppy and indecisive market. Eventually there will some sort of capitulation in the form of a huge move in one direction or the other, but with both counts coiled ready to spring, wave-counting alone leaves a trader on the sidelines or, even worse, guessing.
At TTC we avoid trading blindly by using our indicators, our collective knowledge of many markets and techniques and, as last week�s update explained, our proprietary targets: da numbas! Shown in the chart above are two of our most important target levels recently. Remember 1333 is where we initially took profits after the buying the low at 1256. We said last week that getting past 1360 would trigger a massive rally but weakness there would be trouble for the bulls. Sure enough, Monday�s huge short-covering fiesta failed to decisively take out that level and brought the market down into support at our 1333 level. Certainly the action on Friday underscores the failure at 1360, but seeing these numbers return week after week is a compelling argument that contrary to popular belief, these markets are not simply random.
After Wednesday�s negative close near the lows, and after bouncing up off 1333 in overnight trading, the cash markets opened Thursday with a gap higher � despite no real news to trigger the move. Actually, the news was rather dismal, with GDP showing an anemic economy and a major private equity buyout on the ropes. Though we respected the bounce off our target level, recent history suggested the cash indices would have to at least go back and test those levels. Making that trade even easier were our proprietary trend cycle chart, particularly the 60-min chart shown above. This relatively slow-moving indicator rarely leaves a sweep across it's oscillator unfinished and the gap up would have caused it to do just that. Given the circumstances, members were advised to be prepared in case the opening was reversed, which is precisely what occurred.
On the other hand, support in our other relative strength momentum indicator coincided with a retest of 1333, suggestive of at least a scalp buy. As it happened, the market rallied off 1333 to the highs of the day, as shown in the chart below.
As you know, Friday�s market moved below 1333 and violated all expected support levels for a potentially dramatic upside reversal. The chart below was posted to help members navigate the close. Notice how the market initially tried to hold at the top of the target box, but eventually penetrated through the bottom. The correct way to trade this area depended, of course, on time frame. Scalpers should have shorted the break of 1320 and could have made up to 7 points in a matter of a few minutes. Others may have attempted small longs and gotten stopped out; swing traders may be roughly even on their trades and looking ahead to next week, if they traded it at all.
In any case, it's important to understand that losing 1320 did not change my view of the big picture, it was only a guidepost for a short term trade. That's why it's not a fat red line on the chart like 1333. Members in the TTC forum are already aware of another crucial target number below here that would change our attitudes. Whichever direction the market chooses to take, we have numbers and patterns for next week and will adapt them as shown above to suit whatever the market provides in realtime. Even though the week closed on an inexorable drip lower in stocks, the overwhelming evidence continues to show this market is anything but random and, going through the end of the quarter we're likely to see volume pick up again and clarify the current ambiguous situation.

Benzene Moves Higher in U.S., Europe
1:27 PM MDT | July 28, 2010
Aromatics were said to be relatively more active than olefins, maintaining the trend of the past few weeks. Benchmark spot benzene on the U.S. Gulf moved strongly higher, sellers say, with a gain of 17.5 cts/gal in a widening trading range. Toluene was off by a nickel, while mixed xylenes and styrene were said to be quiet. European spot benzene also saw a big bump, gaining $25/m.t. in active trading. Toluene tagged along with a reported gain of $10/m.t. but vertigo ruled the day in mixed xylene trading as spot prices were lower by an average of $115/m.t. traders...

Seamless Gutters are what we specialize in. We are the experts, with Over 3 million feet of seamless gutters installed in the Dallas, Ft. Worth area.
"The new Copper Gutters are amazing! Michael did a fantastic job on our home, and he did it for a reasonable price!@!"
Five & Six Inch Gutters
We offer both five and six inch gutters. Five inch gutters, with the proper number of downspouts, will accommodate most roof lines; but sometimes 6 inch gutters are needed. Six inch gutters are used when a roof line is extremely steep or tall, giving way to large volumes of water from the roof; furthermore, they are used in special circumstances when a downspout cannot be placed in a bad drainage area. Sometimes, a six inch gutter can be utilized to compensate for fewer downspouts.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call. We will be happy to sit down with you and customize the right gutter system to fit your home.
Give us a call at any time so we can give you an estimate.
We now accept Mastercard, Paypal, and Visa contact us to learn more !!

This hotel has undergone significant renovations since our visit.
We will update our photos and review as soon as we can.
Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
Families from around the world take in this beachy scene, spending the day on the shores or by the pools. Guests can choose to adopt the all-inclusive option or pay as they go.
With plenty of beachfront, the hotel is a prime spot for families toting kids and young teens. Guests head to the sand early in the morning and stay there all day, availing themselves of the outdoor Iguana Pool Bar and maritime-themed Sea Breeze Grill. On the beach, four-post thatched structures give shelter to fully reclined blue-and-white beach chairs. Some guests migrate to the two connected pools during midday, either to be closer to the restaurants or to soak in the twin bubbling whirlpools.
The lobby, an open-air ode to light pink tiles and waist-high crowd-control stanchions, is not air conditioned. The Canastas Lobby Bar is the hotel's most popular spot for Aruba's native Balashi beer.
Directly across the street is the High-Rise shopping complex, which includes restaurants, the Mr. Jazz music venue, a movie theater, and a variety of shops.
The Holiday Inn also gained considerable notoriety for being the hotel where Natalee Holloway was staying in when she disappeared in 2005.
The Holiday Inn is a 30-minute, $30 cab ride from the airport. The location is safe and just across the street from a mall.
The Aruba airport is farther from the Holiday Inn than it is from most hotels -- about a 30-minute, $30 cab ride (depending on traffic).
The hotel's main entrance is just seconds off Aruba's main road, the thruway that leads directly to downtown Oranjestad, 15 minutes away. The beach is in back of the property, while Tony Roma's restaurant -- highly recommended by locals -- is across the street.
The location feels very safe. Between foot traffic from the High-Rise complex and tourists from a number of neighboring hotels -- the Hyatt, Occidental, Radisson, and others -- the area is well populated at night. For added security, hotel personnel frequent the street outside the hotel.
The High-Rise shopping complex is directly across the street. The High-Rise has many restaurants, including the fabulous Hostaria da Vittoria. There are also a number of nightlife haunts, such as a movie theater and a samba club misleadingly named Mr. Jazz.
The beach is the main draw. The shores are clean and the water is clear, but waves can be aggressive.
The beach is the Holiday Inn's main attraction. Families spend the day sunning on the hot, fine sand and wading into the warm water. The water is clear and clean but surprisingly aggressive -- every third or fourth wave bowled over at least one hapless kid (or the sand castle thereof).
Plastic lounge chairs, available all over the beach, are set in full recline underneath the hotel's numerous thatched cabanas. Drink service was pretty slow during my visit, but most guests simply get their own drinks, rather than waiting for a staffer to come around.
The view of the horizon from the sand is excellent. At night, as lit cruise ships pull away from shore, the oval yellow glow of the cabin lights recedes like fading stars.
The rooms are slightly outdated and come with a musty smell, but they're generally clean. Views from the small balconies can be amazing.
The 2011 renovations brought some modern touches to rooms, which now feature a more standard yellow, green and white palette instead of dated tropical prints,a swell as up-to-date technology, such as flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi.
Guests alternate between the pool with an island, the family pool, and two Jacuzzis. The gym has an adequate amount of equipment, and the spa offers a bevy of beauty services.
The pool area is split into four sections -- two separate Jacuzzis, a shallow family pool, and a standard pool. The standard pool has a small circular island with beach chairs on it. The chairs are deep enough to get wet, but shallow enough to keep drinks chlorine-free. The Jacuzzis bubble like stew pots, and many guests rotate between both tubs. Why choose? You're on vacation!
A National car rental desk is stationed in the lobby.
Pelican Watersports is available on site, and a sundries and general store, a delicatessen, and a fragrance and cosmetics shop highlight the shopping concourse.
The fitness center and Intermezzo Day Spa are next door to one another.
The resort also has a business center and kids club.
The casino is a popular attraction, booming at all hours.
During my visit, the Excelsior casino, a one-room gaming spot, was swarming at midnight. Blackjack and craps drew the spectators. The meditative poker section was filled but nearly silent, with one table spilling over with 10 players.
Corals Restaurant is extremely popular with the breakfast crowd. At lunch, pool-goers dig Iguana Pool Bar. There are a number of places to eat in the mall across the road.
The Iguana Pool Bar serves decent burgers, dogs, and other simple American fare. It -- unlike the maritime-themed Sea Breeze Grill -- actually catches most of the sea breeze.
There is a buffe-stylet International cuise at Corals Restaurant, and the restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Cafe Da Vinci serves Italian for dinner.
Tony Roma's restaurant, advertised as "famous for ribs," is right across the street. The High-Rise shopping complex is also across the street and has a number of places to dine, including the excellent Hostaria da Vittoria.
Wedding options are a bit limited here, and although the hotel is affordable, the quality of service, the food, and the beauty of the location matches the price tag.
The Holiday Inn is a family-friendly beachside resort with a decent fitness center, day spa, and nice pool. It could be a bargain, but the rooms are a little basic and the service is definitely hands-off. Fortunately, the upscale High-Rise shopping complex, just across the street, has loads of great restaurants and bars.

Minerva U.S. Department of State officials recently gave the Minerva Central School (MCS) approval to start an F-1 foreign exchange student program.
Under this new program, exchange students would pay both tuition and room/board, giving a boost to enrollment while also providing the school with a little extra revenue.
Though the school was only approved two weeks ago, MCS is no stranger to the exchange student business. Its students have been interacting with other cultures since 2008, when Newcomb Central School hosted its first crop of exchange students; Minerva and Newcomb shared a combined sports program. MCS started hosting its own students only a year later. Minerva has also sent students of its own to study abroad through Rotary International's student exchange program.
All of MCS's past exchange students studied there under J-1 visas. In a J-1 program, students are not required to pay any sort of fee to the school for their year abroad. They do not earn academic credit for their stay either. The exchange is treated as a cultural and linguistic learning experience rather than an academic one. Under the new F-1 program, students pay tuition ($4,500 per student), but in return they earn academic credit for their efforts. If the student enrolls during their senior year, they can also receive a New York state diploma.
However, MCS Superintendent Timothy Farrell said the decision to transition into F-1 visas wasn't made just to give the school an enrollment or revenue boost. The "driving force," as he described it, was to not only increase cultural diversity, but to give MCS students the chance to interact with intelligent young adults from all over, learning from and through each other. Farrell said the school is more than willing to accept more J-1 students, provided he can find families to host them.

A great concern to the wise should be, who will be liable for medical and legal expenses of those infected? Who will have the liability insurance, posted, to cover these expenses of the innocent!
I do not want to take the chances of incurring diseases and slipping on dog poo! Good luck!

After I ate the last serving of this salad, I was sad. Sad I had no more salad left. It was that good.
Rob cocked his head and asked, So is this a repeater recipe?
But we have no more corn! And no more spinach or lettuce! And I think my Appaloosa beans are finished, too.
That can easily be remedied, Janet.
Besides, I just bought 53 lbs of tomatoes (yes, I did it!)
I think I should focus on those!
So this one will just go down in the vault as a wickedly delicious salad. And contrary to my sorry excuses, this is a very forgiving salad. Use your favourite salad toppers. Just don't skip on the tomatoes. And the dressing.
This salad all began with the creation of the raw eggplant bacon. I picked up a super cheap monster eggplant and earmarked it for the dehydrator. The salty and sweet marinade (tamari, maple syrup, vinegar, chili powder, smoked paprika and liquid smoke) was delicious and I couldn't wait for them to dry out. Twelve hours felt like a life-time. I was blown away by the texture of the eggplant, airy yet crispy but sadly, with a fraction of the flavour from the salivating marinade. Since I used low-sodium tamari there wasn't the uber saltiness associated with bacon but it was pretty nice, regardless. Does it taste like bacon? Not at all, but I don't consider that a bad thing. ;)
I also used some of the extra marinade to make zucchini chips. Since I sliced them cross-wise, they looked like chips and tasted like bacon chips, too. However, those went into my belly. The eggplant bacon went into this salad. (For the record, I prefer the eggplant version!)
Obviously, this salad pushes monumental levels when you use fresh, ripe ingredients. Fresh heirloom tomatoes, check. Local, fresh corn on the cob, check. Cute heirloom pinto beans, I've got that covered. Your greenery of choice (or whatever is in your fridge): baby spinach. I added oomph to the original dressing by mirroring the bacon marinade, throwing in smoked paprika and chili powder. Lime juice makes this a bright dressing. And while I was worried I wouldn't have enough dressing with only the juice from 2 non-juicy limes, after I placed everything in jars for the week, the tomatoes macerated, adding tomato juicy goodness to the dressing, too. Now it was perfect.
For another variation on the corn + tomato + bean salad, try this one with a balsamic dressing, toasted in a skillet.
This is my submission to this month's Bookmarked Recipes, to Healthy Vegan Fridays, to this week's Raw Food Thursdays, to this week's Weekend Wellness, to this week's favourite summer recipes, and to Deb for this week's Souper Sundays.
BLT Corn Pinto Bean Salad
Adapted from Joy The Baker
2 cups cooked pinto beans (I used Appaloosa beans)
1-2 ears of corn (1 cup)
1 pint (2 cups) cherry or grape tomatoes (I used the cute heirloom tomatoes)
1/3 cup green onions, chopped
6 cups baby spinach (Romaine lettuce would be nice here, too!)
3 tbsp fresh lime juice (2 limes)
1 tsp olive oil (optional, I did not use it)
1 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
3 drops liquid smoke (optional, but good!)
1/2 tsp salt
8 slices of eggplant bacon (see below)
1. Peel back the husk of the ear of corn and remove the strings. Keep the husk on so you can use it as a handle. Over a gas burner, char the raw corn. Rotate until all the kernels are charred. Allow to cool.
2. Meanwhile, combine the pinto beans, tomatoes, and green onions in a medium-sized bowl. Cut off the corn once it has cooled and toss with the remainder of the salad vegetables.
3. In a small jar, combine the dressing ingredients: lime juice, oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, liquid smoke and salt. (Note: Consider adding in some chopped tomato, too)
4. Mix the dressing with the veggies. When ready to serve, plate your greens, top with your vegetables and sprinkle with crushed eggplant bacon. Or assemble it into a jar and munch on it throughout the week! (Keep the raw bacon separate because it will become soggy in the jar even after a few hours)
Raw Eggplant Bacon
Adapted from Choosing Raw
1 large eggplant, halved and sliced lengthwise into thin (1/4 inch thick or less) slices
2 tbsp tamari (I used low-sodium)
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp chili powder
5-10 drops liquid smoke
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
1. In a large ziploc plastic bag, place all the marinade ingredients. Mix well. Add in your eggplant slices and mix well. Seal your bag and allow to marinate at least an hour.
2. Place eggplant onto mesh-lined dehydrator trays and dehydrate at 115F for 12 hours, or until your desired crispiness. Alternatively, Gena says you could bake them at 350F for 35 minutes, basting with additional marinade as required.

The flavors all sound so good! I especially lOve the liquid smoke. That bacon sounds great too. I did sOmething similar once with portabellos once. It works in an oven on the lowest temp over night too.
This is such a crazy cool recipe! And it's recipe #3 I have found for eggplant! The first is the soup I made recently, the second is the eggplant burger from peas and thank you and now this!
This salad sounds great! I definitely need to try out making some of that eggplant bacon. And hooray for lots of tomatoes! Does this mean vast canning endeavour? :)
Gorgeous and totally delicious looking! I'm bookmarking it to try. Glad you liked the eggplant.
I'm pretty sure this is one of those dishes I'd look forward to eating all day and then would feel so sad about when it was gone!
I love the idea of raw bacon! Such a clever idea. This looks delicious!
I love this and I need to try that raw eggplant bacon. ;-) It's the perfect summer salad. Thanks for sharing it with Souper Sundays.
This reminds me it's been way too long since I made my eggplant "bacon"! We were loving the stuff last year. Hmm, next time I see a huge eggplant at the farmers market I know what I'm doing!
I am quite curious about trying eggplant bacon – the meaty flesh would be great in it – but I can't imagine it could replace tofu bacon which is a regular in our house. – love the salad!

Booth babes
this wiki
Booth babes is a term used to refer to women (mostly women, with the occasional exception) employed by brands to staff booths at trade shows. Booth babes are paid to dress in sexually revealing clothing for the purpose of enticing men to come over to the booth, and ideally view and buy the products being advertised. Booth babes are frequently required to wear clothing that is demeaning, and behave in a manner welcoming of the people sexually objectifying them. This usually include posing for pictures with male attendees that showcase how much the men are enjoying the sexually attractive traits of the booth babe.
These can be a problem because:
- they perpetuate the sexist notion of women's main usefulness as background decoration, meant for male titillation and little else
- they ignore women of any sexual orientation who may be making buying decisions (see Invisibility)
- they can contribute to an uncomfortable sexualized environment for female attendees
- they can contribute to an environment where female employees working booths are ignored, either in favor of the booth babes, or in favor of male colleagues, or due to patrons mistaken expectations that female employees must be booth babes and thus will not have any technical background
- they don't work anyway

- E3 Girls -- a website devoted to booth babes at the E3 trade show
- Naked/bodypainted booth babes at CeBIT

Google forks WebKit, announces new Blink rendering engine
Google has announced that they're forking the Apple-led open source WebKit to create their own, new Blink HTML rendering engine. According to the Chromium blog:
Chromium [the open source version of Chrome] uses a different multi-process architecture than other WebKit-based browsers, and supporting multiple architectures over the years has led to increasing complexity for both the WebKit and Chromium projects. This has slowed down the collective pace of innovation - so today, we are introducing Blink, a new open source rendering engine based on WebKit.
The impetus seems to be this: by forking WebKit into Blink, Google believes they can iterate and deploy changes faster than if they stay within the bigger, more complex WebKit system. In essence, they're taking a page out of Apple playbook and assuming control of their core technologies.
How this plays out for end users -- whether the pace of innovation increases more than any slowdown resulting from less compatibility -- remains to be seen. Ironically, Apple likely forked KHTML/Safari to make WebKit, in part, for similar reasons. They wanted a light codebase that didn't suffer from the overhead of the existing Mozilla userbase.
Also interesting: the Mozilla/Samsung Servo announcement, a new, lightweight, security-first rendering engine that'll come to Android, also hit today. Sucker punch and overhead right at WebKit all in one day. Probably not a coincidence. Also, Samsung using Servo, not Blink... That might be the most interesting -- and most telling -- part of today's machinations: is it a platform play?
So how do you feel about the move? Better for the web, worse for the web, or net neutral for the web? (No pun intended.) Insert your best "begun these browser wars have"
For more on the history of WebKit, see our Debug podcast interview with Don Melton, former head of the Safari team at Apple.

Google forks WebKit, announces new Blink rendering engine
Cyclic behaviours. Everyone was separate and the battle was how much better one strategy was over another. Then one day they come together, not because there was a winner but to "collaborate" but there is no ability to set yourself apart so eventually you separate again. The cycle, like the world will keep going round and round.
Welcome to the 90s all over again...
Cue the "Don't blink" Doctor Who meme please..
This is forking crazy! Well if it make innovation easier than go for it. Don't fork around, put your own destiny in your hands.
I just want a fast, lightweight browser that doesn't track my every move. I have been migrating from Firefox because of the former, and Chrome because of the latter (IE is OK, but nothing special IMHO). Looking forward to Opera getting Webkit, but I'll bet this news takes some starch out of their britches. Hopefully, they don't re-evaluate and push their updates back further.
Have you looked into SRWare Iron?
somebody woke up on the wrong side the floor this morning....
It would be great to her Don Melman's take on this! Just listened to Debug. It was fascinating
It is good for both parties, because Chrome's WebKit + its own Process Isolation works very differently to WebKit2.
But what Google did was a PR Stunt that mentions how many files and Line of code could be deleted once they move off WebKit, in a mind game that tricks you into thinking Webkit is full of bloat. In reality is all those code were because Chrome were so different to Webkit the community had to design and develop WebKit2 themselves.

- Put the fruit into a preserving pan or large heavy-based saucepan. For blackberries, add 50ml of water and 1½ tbsp of lemon juice; for plums (halved and stoned), use 150ml of water; for strawberries, add 3 tbsp of lemon juice (no water); and for raspberries, add nothing. Bring to the boil.
- Lower the heat. For blackberries, simmer for 15 minutes; for plums, simmer for 30-40 minutes; for raspberries, simmer for 2 minutes; for strawberries, simmer for 5 minutes. The fruit should be soft.
- Tip in the sugar, stir over a very low heat until the sugar has completely dissolved. Raise the heat, bring to a full rolling boil, then rapidly boil blackberries for 10-12 minutes, plums for 10 minutes, raspberries for 5 minutes or strawberries for 20-25 minutes - don't stir though – until the setting point of 105C is reached.
- Remove from the heat, skim off any excess scum, then stir a knob of butter across the surface (this helps to dissolve any remaining scum). Leave for about 15 mins so the fruit can settle. Pour into sterilised jars, label and seal.

Comments, questions and tips
My first time making jam and what a surprising success! I made BlackBerry jam, used a stock pot, normal caster sugar (600g to 900g fruit) and made sure I followed the instructions to a tee. I filled 3 Bon Maman jars to the top. It is delicious and set perfectly. I'm going to invest in a jam thermometer and try more flavours.
DISAPPOINTING! I made the plum one and it's so runny. Did anyone get theirs to set without jam sugar? Wish I'd used this as I have some. Also, it burnt really badly and has wrecked my jam pan. Am sure I stirred in and dissolved the sugar before bringing to a boil but no idea how this happened. What a waste of time. It's all vaguely flavoured with burnt sugar. :(
Great recipe. Think I will be spending more and more time in the kitchen jamming, as the English summer has officially disappeared. I also found this site www.quickjars.co.uk to purchase some lovely jars from as well. High quality, cheap and fast delivery. Happy days.
Wow, how easy and fun to do with the kids. Picked, cooked and eaten....Big smiles and excitement that they made something from scratch. This is such a 'Yummy' jam as described from my 5yr old kids. Off out to pick some more blackberries to freeze for another day cheers x ps lime also works (didn't have any lemons!)
Hi, yes you can. Buy some pectin (the stuff that makes jam set), either powder or liquid. Re-boil you jam and add the pectin as per its instructions. Test for set by either a jam thermometer, or by the cold plate in the freezer method (put a drop of the jam onto a plate which has been cooled in the freezer for a while, wait for a few seconds for it to cool, then push it with your finger. If it wrinkles, it's ready). Pot up into freshly sterillised jars. Blackberries and strawberries are naturally low in pectin, which is why they need it added to help the jam set. Commercial pectin is made from apples I believe.
Hi julie1542, I just did it too- different recipe, mind, but plums and lemons are main ingredients. I am going to get the jam warmed, add some water, bring to boil and re-pot.
Mrshawes I make quite a bit of jam and use frozen fruit very often. The only problem you may have is that the jam won't set- this can be easily remedied by adding lemon juice (add juice of one lemon, boil for 2-5 mins, check for set again, add more if necessary) Hope this helps
Well I am sure you would all love to see my plum jam. It is set solid in the jar and I can't even spoon it out.
I would like to say that I followed the recipe although I do confess to not measuring the sugar as I have no scales at present and so I took a 1 kg bag of preserving sugar and used 9 tenths of it. My maths can be a bit dodgy but I think this is reasonable as an estimate! I did also use lemon juice which I misread as you are not meant to put lemon juice in plum jam. The only other thing I can think of is I boiled it for too long at the end when I added the sugar!
I want to try again so any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Wheelchair racer, who won gold in the 800 and 1,500 metres in Beijing, can silence critics of the Paralympics athletes
There are still plenty of Paracynics around when it comes to debating elite sport, but Baroness Grey-Thompson has a simple answer to those seeking to downgrade the blood, sweat and tears.
"Look at Dave Weir's shoulders," she said. "You don't get that training once a week." They might be cold shoulders if he comes across cyclist Jon-Allan Butterworth, who said that funding for athletics should be scrapped and handed to cycling. His comments were ill-timed as ParalympicsGB strive to refute the theory that some in Stratford are, to reheat Butterworth's words, just "having a laugh".
However, Weir provides the muscle-clad


text: Tweet This review is part of the Green Books campaign. Today 200 bloggers take a stand to support books printed in an eco-friendly manner by simultaneously publishing reviews of 200 books printed on recycled or FSC-certified paper. By turning a spotlight on books printed using eco- friendly paper, we hope to raise the awareness of book buyers and encourage everyone to take the environment into consideration when purchasing books. The campaign is organized for the second time by Eco-Libris, a green company working to make reading more sustainable. We invite you to join the discussion on "green" books and support books printed in an eco-friendly manner! A full list of participating blogs and links to their reviews is available on Eco-Libris website. The UK's largest charity, Oxfam, has collaborated with independent publisher Profile Books and the Hay Festival to produce a series of four short story collections entitled Ox-Tales. Each collection bears the name of one of the four elements: Earth, Water, Fire and Air to correspond and draw attention to Oxfam's work in four areas: agriculture, water projects, conflict aid and climate change, respectively. Top authors from the British Isles including Alexander McCall Smith, Joanna Trollope, Ian Rankin, Ali Smith, Hanif Kureishi, Sebastian Faulks and Helen Fielding have donated bite-sized literary gems to the series, each edition of which begins with a poem by Vikram Seth and concludes with a true story, relevant to the theme of the book. The fictional stories that make up Ox-Tales: Water don't all deal with issues of safe drinking water and sanitation. In fact you'd never know there was any connection, because in terms of literary content – there generally isn't, save for Hari Kunzru's poignant entry about a beaten-down aid worker with malaria. And this is just fine with me, as the campaign is designed to raise money and attention for important human concerns, rather than preach and cajole via fictionalized tragic accounts of waterborne diseases. Most engaging are Zoë Heller's 'What She Did on Her Summer Vacation' about an adventurous 14 year-old girl's trip with her parents to the Caribbean and Esther Freud's 'Rice Cakes and Starbucks', which follows an English actor and his family during an unseasonably wet first week in Los Angeles. On the surreal end are David Park's 'Crossing the River' and Michael Faber's 'Walking After Midnight', which provide intriguing glimpses into the fertile imaginations of their authors. The volume ends with a brief account of Seraphine, a Congolese woman who struggles to survive and care for her grandchildren in a refugee camp, which Oxfam supplies with clean water. The importance Oxfam's efforts is quickly brought home, as is what a little extra of our money can do for someone who has so little, so long as there are organizations to do the work. Ox-Tales: Water is available for ₤5 on paperback from Amazon. Ox-tales: Water is printed on Mixed Sources, using material from well-managed forests and other controlled sources, according to the standards of the Forest Stewardship Council.

That was as comprehensive a pasting that a driver has had from his teammate as I have seen. The first stint was as though they were on different compound tyres Michael was so slow. And he had clear enough air for most of it. I think it should also be obvious that Nico is pretty quick and consistent, how quick remains to be seen but he will not be seriously challenged by a guy as past it and slow as Michael is in 2010. And this is an important factor for Brawn and co in looking at next year, if Nico is to extract every last ounce of speed he needs a better benchmark.....
The fan club display an extraordinary resilience to reality. Some even say they don't find his results particularly disappointing - they are either lying or have extremely low expectations. To have about one third the WDC points as your teammate is embarassing, there are no major factors to mitigate why his results are so poor. Can't we just put this miserable comeback to bed as quickly and quietly as possible?
Nico is rated currently as fifth best driver on the grid after Kubica, Alonso, Webber and Hamilton in the "Top Seven Drivers" thread - so he definitely has profited from being paired with Schumacher. Either Nico is very good or Michael has become very bad.
Concerning the fan club´s blindness to reality: I had to listen to "for me it is enough to see Michael driving on the track" odé's - the veneration for Michael goes through the roof even when he shows nothing at all.
Maybe he fits the category of driver that Brundle referred to (on the example of Alonso): "He is a driver you cannot love, but a driver that has to be admired."
So one thing is for sure - the fans admire him, no matter what Michael's showing.

We went at 7:00 on a Thursday and it wasn't crowded at all. We had a large, round table for 6 of us and they didn't even complain when we waited a half hour to order (we were waiting for our 6th friend to arrive). I thought the bread was very good! Warm, soft with a sourdough taste. My friend loved her french onion soup. I ordered a burger and it was pretty good and sizeable, although I don't quite think it was worth the $10.75. It came with shoestring fries which were also very good. I found our server to be very attentive, but it was offputting when he dumped the dessert menus on our table (he actually threw them right over one of my friend's heads!) By the time we were paying the check, the place had filled up and we were feeling a little cramped as the tables around us filled. I thought the atmosphere was great--dark and cozy. I'd go back , but try the mushroom ravioli this time.

Here's a great place to go to feel like an abandoned, neglected sardine. In an attempt to create a hip-bistro atmosphere, customers are jammed on top of one another in a single, unattractive, noisy room. But wait, it gets better!! After being cooly greeted and seated, we waited 15 minutes before a waiter nodded to our presence, promising to come to our table in a moment. Well, 10 more minutes, and we ejected ourselves. I mean, after all, we were there to eat. Well I can't comment on the food, although no one in a nearby table was eating, always a bad sign. We are New York residents, quite accustomed to restaurants with "attitude." But no way we will revisit this place.

Great food! Grilled Salmon is a MUST HAVE (only $15 with vegi and balsamic rice). I been there more than 5 times and this place opens 24/7, if u go about 10pm to have a late dinner, it's less crowded and the service is much better and less noisy. It's a cute place but the tables are too little and I alwasy feel like cramping in there during the dinner hours. You don't get much "Service" during the busy hours and the bread is cold usually. But I had warmed bread tonight getting there at 10pm. And the server was very friendly and gave me fresh bread to take to go. And the Hot chocolate is the french ones (No sugar), unlike most places give u premade powder ones added with hot water. I would recommend you to visit. First time visitors, you may think this place look very dark inside, but once yr eyes get used to the candle light aorund, u can really see the big portion plate of food in front of you.

Went here the other night and i must say that the food was delicious...got the steak au poivre and for $20, it was delicious. The wine was also really good...a little overpriced but still good. However, the service was poor. At least we were in the mood to sit and enjoy our wine. If we had been really hungry, I am sure that crankiness would have set in. Was originally thinking of having dessert but, they took so long to ask us that we just ended up getting the check instead.

The server didn't take our order for over 30 minutes, she disappeared for long stretches. To get milk with my granola, I had to leave the table and go to the front. To get my check I had to go back to the reception area. When my friend ordered light (toast and cofffee) she was asked twice "Is that all you're going to have" in a disbelieving voice. Even worse (since that could have been a problem with just one employee), the restaurant was overcrowded - so much so that diners had to stand up to allow us to get to our table. They're just packing them in. None of the staff seemed to be interested in providing real service.

I love L'express. Unlike some, I thought the service was excellent, and the food delicious. I never had to ask for water, the server brought everything out in a timely fashion, and although the restaurant got very crowded, we were not rushed, and sat at our booth for some time sipping coffee without any feelings that we should go. I particularly love the cold cucumber soup. For someone searching for a cross between an american eatery and french cafe feel, this is the place to go-at any time of the night!

I go here regularly for lunch because of the quality food and affordable price, unfortunately the service at my local deli far exceeds the speediness of the wait staff. A colleague of mine commented on a recent visit how ironic it is that the name of the restaurant is l'Express when it is obviously anything but!

This recipe has become my staple informal brunch recipe. Due to the water in teh tomatoes, it is best to toast the inside of the crust a bit first. But how tasty!
This tasted good, but the tomatoes got soggy at the bottom - next time I would just layer them on top - plus, it started getting burnt in spots after about 15 mins. I turned it down to 325f for the remainder of the time, and it turned out fine. Thanks.

Simply wonderful! I usually use roma (plum) tomatoes - and even then I remove all the seeds to cut down on the moisture. I've used both fresh and dried herbs - both work well. I always use fresh chopped onion instead of dried. I frequently use crescant roll dough instead of a pie crust to save time, mess and the pre-baking step. As other reviews have noted, the leftovers are great! Everyone I've served this to has loved it! I make this recipe frequently.
I've made this recipe several times and everyone has loved it. If you're using fresh tomotoe, it works best if you get as much moisture out of them as you can before you put them in the pie. That keeps it from getting soupy. But like I said, EVERYONE has loved this dish.
Have made another recipe for tomato pie that was a BIG hit with the family. This recipe was a really soupy mixture & I believe it has to do with the milk combo along with the water from the tomatoes. I had to bake it alot longer than called for & still ended up soupy. I'm going back to the other recipe that utilizes mayo for a sauce!
I had heard so much about tomato pie I decided to make it. This recipe was the most attractive one that I found. I loved the flavor! The only problem I had was similar to others I have seen on these reviews: my tomatoes leached all their water and I had to drain it off (Don't ask me how, it was not very graceful). Other than that I will definitely make this again, the family loved it!
I made this one evening for dinner, and I had to bake it a lot longer than the recipe stated for the pie to be set in the center. I also found it to be very watery, but I poured a lot of the liquid out of the pan before serving. It was pretty good that night, but I found it to be much better when refridgerated and reheated the next day. I will probably make this again.
Quite good. The seven year old wasn't thrilled, but she is very picky. The rest of us liked it... It is very watery, so do get as much juice out of the tomatoes as possible and don't be suprised if it's still a little watery. I probably will make again.

Smartlipo is the first and only laser that eliminates fat gently without suction. It provides a revolutionary and minimally invasive procedure Dr. Emerson uses to gently liquefy fat and remove it to sculpt body contours and tighten skin with less downtime and side-effects.
How does the Smartlipo procedure work?
FDA approved as one the first laser based lipo treatments, a tiny laser fiber, slightly larger than a hair (approximately one-third millimeter in diameter) is inserted into the skin. The fiber is gently moved back and forth as the laser's energy is delivered directly to the fat cells, making them easy to drain away.
In addition, as the laser energy interacts with the dermis it results in skin shrinkage or tightening.
Due to the small size of the cannula, Smartlipo is a minimally invasive procedure and can be performed with local numbing.
The procedure causes less bleeding, swelling and bruising, resulting in a quicker recovery time than conventional liposuction methods since the laser causes small blood vessels to coagulate immediately on contact, and there is no "cutting and tearing away" of fat with sharp edged suction cannulas. Because general anesthesia is not used, the procedure is very safe with minimal side effects.
Who is a good candidate for the Smartlipo procedure?
If you have areas of fat that will not respond to diet and exercise, then you're a candidate for Smartlipo. Ideal candidates are in good health, of normal body weight and have realistic expectations for the procedure's results.
Do I have to do anything post-treatment?
After the treatment you will need to wear a compression garment for two weeks full time, depending on the body area being treated. Rest is recommended after the procedure and activity may be resumed gradually. No immersion in water for 2 weeks.
Does Smartlipo treat cellulite?
The procedure will improve the body's shape and may improve cellulite to a certain degree.
When can I expect to see results?
Results can be seen as soon as a week with continued improvement over several months.
Does Smartlipo produce lasting results?
Yes! Adults do not create new fat cells. When a person gains weight, the fat cells expand. The Smartlipo procedure permanently removes the fat cells. Should you gain weight, most fat will be deposited in areas where the procedure was not performed.
How soon can I return to work after the liposuction procedure?
Most of our patients take off the day after the procedure and then return to work the next day. This is assuming that your job does not require any major physical exertion. Most people can resume their normal exercise regimen two weeks after the procedure.
– Local anesthesia
– Laser fiber liquefies fat
– Tighter skin due to collagen shrinkage & production
– Avoids scarring
– No stitches
– Downtime – hours
– 2 week compression garment
– General anesthesia
– Tube w/vacuum tears out fat, sucking it out causing damage
– Sagging skin sometimes necessitates additional surgical procedures such as face or neck lifts
– Scarring
– Stitches
– Downtime – roughly 7 days
– 6 week compression garment
– 10% complications rate

Player Analysis: Linehan says he wants to emphasize the running game more, which is good news for Jackson. If he gets the opportunities, he should rebound from a disappointing 2005 campaign and live up to his lofty expectations. He is very strong and very quick, but lacks the hands and breakaway speed to be a truly great back. If newly acquired Stephen Davis proves to be healthy, Jackson's fantasy value will decrease due to lost goalline touches.
Fantasy Football Impact: Jackson will be a very good choice in the mid to late first round given the new focus on the running game in St. Louis. If the Rams start using Stephen Davis as the goalline back, Jackson's value decreases.
Steven Jackson: Holding Out - 07/25/2008Source: St. Louis Post-Dispatch
St. Louis Rams star RB Steven Jackson is holding out in hopes of getting his contract negotiated.
Fantasy Impact: Jackson is seemingly unstoppable if he's healthy, and missing some extra wear and tear on his body may not be a bad thing. As long as he's around by the middle of camp he shouldn't be downgraded on fantasy boards.
Rams blank Raiders 20-0 - 12/17/2006Source: NFL.com
The St. Louis Rams' much-maligned defense finally found an offense it could dominate.
The Rams took advantage of five Oakland turnovers, including two that set up touchdown runs by Steven Jackson, in St. Louis' 20-0 victory over the Raiders.
Jackson finished with 127 yards on 31 carries, scoring on runs of 4 yards after Chris Carr fumbled a punt and 19 yards after Andrew Walter threw the first of two interceptions.
St. Louis (6-8) got just its second win in nine games.
In a season full of historic lows, the Raiders (2-12) reached another in losing their seventh straight game. They also equaled their most losses in a season since Al Davis joined the franchise in 1963. And it was their third shutout loss of the year, including two at home. The Raiders had been shutout at home only once in their history before this season.
The Rams weren't much better on offense but didn't turn the ball over and relied on the defense to get the win. St. Louis entered the contest allowing more than 25 points per game but ended up with its first shutout since 2003.
Bears profit on Hester's returns 42-27 - 12/12/2006Source: NFL.com
Devin Hester expects teams to keep on kicking deep to him. And he expects to keep right on returning those kicks to the end zone.
The high-stepping rookie got the Rams' home dome rocking with chants of "Let's Go Bears!" as he set an NFL record with his fifth and sixth returns for touchdowns this season, a 94-yard kickoff runback in the second quarter and a 96-yarder in the final period. That sparked a 42-27 victory that gave the NFC North champions (11-2) a bye for the first week of the playoffs.
"It's the NFL, and a team is not going to bow down to one player," Hester said. "They'll continue to kick to me."
They're fools if they do.
"It's like the gates of Heaven opening up for me," he added.
A second-round draft pick, Hester also has three punt return touchdowns and ran back a missed field goal 108 yards against the Giants to tie the longest play in NFL history. But he had returned only six kickoffs all season before his historic romps that made the thousands of fans who trekked from Chicago rise from their seats.
"I almost thought we were back at Soldier Field," coach Lovie Smith said.
Hester struggled to find a position in college at Miami, but he has been a sensation with the ball in his hands on kick returns for the Bears.
"The story of the game is Devin Hester," Smith said. "It's time we start looking at him as an offensive player. There are a lot of good offensive rookies in the league making big plays, but who has had as much impact as Devin Hester has in the league as a rookie right now?"
He came through the middle on the first runback, then swiftly cut to his left untouched and sped down the sideline, high-stepping like a drum major the last few yards while holding up the football for the raucous Bears fans.
Hester outdid himself in the fourth quarter when it appeared the Rams might try an onside kick. The only Bear standing deep, he went straight up the center of the field, again untouched, and turned around at the Rams 20 looking for pursuers. No one was there.
He admitted it was a tribute to his friend Deion Sanders.
"That played a major role in us losing the game," Rams cornerback Ron Bartell said. "We lost by 15. You take away those two returns, we've got a pretty good game."
Beleaguered quarterback Rex Grossman had a pretty good game and the Chicago running attack dominated the last two quarters.
Carrying a 14-13 lead into the second half, the Bears outgained the Rams (5-8) 191 yards to 31 in the third quarter. They scored on Thomas Jones' 30-yard run and Muhsin Muhammad's superb fingertip catch of a 14-yard pass from Grossman, who probably quieted calls for his benching -- particularly from the thousands of fans who outshouted Rams rooters much of the evening.
Jackson believes he ranks with NFL's elite backs - 12/08/2006Source: National Football League News Wire
Steven Jackson received some lofty praise from
a teammate on Thursday, and the St. Louis Rams' increasingly
confident running back believes it's on the mark.
"Having gotten a chance to play with him and seeing him week to
week, he is in my opinion one of the top three running backs in
professional football -- if not the top back," safety Corey Chavous
said. "When you start looking at his numbers and what he's been
able to do, and with his size, speed and versatility, he is just an
unbelievable package."
Jackson secured his second straight 1,000-yard rushing season
with four games to spare last week against the Cardinals, and 19
yards against the Chicago Bears on Monday night would top his
career best.
LaDainian Tomlinson and Larry Johnson are generally acknowledged
as the top two backs in the NFL. Jackson feels he belongs in that
"I do, and what's even more challenging is I'm here to try to
prove I can be No. 1," Jackson said. "I know over time it'll
come, as the yards rack up. That's what I'm striving to be, No.
Jackson is sixth in the NFL with 1,028 yards rushing, with
Tomlinson and Johnson running 1-2 and each above 1,300 yards. He
also trails San Francisco's Frank Gore (1,217), the New York
Giants' Tiki Barber (1,1170) and Minnesota's Chester Taylor
Jackson's emergence as a receiving threat boosts him to third
behind the Big 2 with 1,650 yards from scrimmage. He's second in
the NFC with 72 receptions, needing only 15 catches to tie Marshall
Faulk's franchise record set in 1999.
"I think I've matured as an overall back, a guy who's showed my
teammates and my coaching staff that there's really no need to pull
me out of the game in any situation," Jackson said. "I feel like
I can do everything the coaching staff asks me to do, and I'm
willing to go to battle with my teammates."
First-year coach Scott Linehan said Jackson's receiving has
helped the Rams move the ball against zone defenses designed to
muffle Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce. Jackson caught 43 passes last
Bulger's rally snaps Rams' losing skid - 11/27/2006Source: NFL.com
It took a crucial stop by the Rams' beleaguered defense and Marc Bulger being nearly perfect on the winning drive to halt St. Louis' five-game losing streak.
The Rams (5-6) broke another team's heart for a change on Bulger's 5-yard touchdown pass to Kevin Curtis with 27 seconds to go for a 20-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. Twice during the skid they lost in the final minute.
"We needed to win in the worst way," Curtis said. "To come out of there and score when we need to gives us a lot of hope for the rest of the season."
San Francisco (5-6) totaled 171 yards rushing against the NFL's worst defense against the run, including 134 yards on 21 carries by Frank Gore. He's the fifth player in six weeks to top 100 against the Rams, and totaled 261 yards in two games against St. Louis.
Leading 14-13 midway through the fourth quarter, the 49ers marched down the field on a 13-play, 75-yard drive that chewed up more than 7½ minutes and included only one pass. The drive screeched to a halt at the 7 when Michael Robinson was stopped for no gain on third-and-1 by Brandon Chillar and Raonall Smith, forcing a 24-yard field goal by Joe Nedney with 3:54 to go.
"That was a big moment," Rams middle linebacker Will Witherspoon said. "That was a game-changing moment."
Gore was not in the game for the big carry because of an injured right ankle, which coach Mike Nolan described as a bruise. He was taken for X-rays after the game.

Airing on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 8 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. ET, the broadcasts will feature a 90-minute fast-paced format complete with original television announcers and cameras. An additional game will be shown on Friday.
Nolan wouldn't second-guess his decision not to go for the first down.
"I thought about it at the time, running it hard, but we're on the road," Nolan said. "Make it a touchdown game. I wouldn't change anything."
Stymied much of the game, Bulger was 9 for 9 for 66 yards during a 12-play, 80-yard drive for the winning score. He finished 23 for 34 for 201 yards with one touchdown and one interception.
Bulger was sacked twice, a big improvement after absorbing 11 sacks the previous two weeks. The Rams have a makeshift line, featuring three replacements.
Once again, Brown lifts 'Hawks over Rams - 11/12/2006Source: NFL.com
The thrilling has seemingly gotten so routine for Josh Brown, he barely reacts to it now.
But his Seahawks? They love it -- and Brown.
Once again, they jubilantly mobbed each other after their absurdly cool kicker calmly made a 38-yard field goal with nine seconds left as Seattle beat St. Louis 24-22 and seize control of the NFC West.
After his second game-winning kick to beat the Rams in less than a month, Brown simply bowed his head into the hug of holder Ryan Plackemeier.
The stunned Rams (4-5) simply stared at a fourth consecutive loss.
It was Brown's fifth winning field goal for the Seahawks (6-3) since Oct. 2, 2005, when he clanged a potential winner from 47 yards off the left upright at the end of regulation in an overtime loss at Washington.
"I'm not shocked I made it," Brown said. "I think I would have been more shocked had I missed.
"It's definitely not an arrogance thing. ... We prepare like this every day."
It all forced Seahawks defensive end Grant Wistrom to grudgingly praise his kicker.
"This is the third game he's won this season, isn't it?" Wistrom said of Brown, correctly. "He's pretty important.
"But I don't want to give him too much credit. He thinks he's pretty good already."
Brown probably would not have gotten his chance without Nate Burleson's first Seattle heroics.
Chiefs follow Johnson to win over Rams - 11/06/2006Source: NFL.com
After backing up pregame braggadocio about dealing out the hits rather than taking them, Larry Johnson had a lot more to say.
Johnson rushed for 172 yards, becoming the second straight running back to punish the St. Louis Rams defense in the Kansas City Chiefs' 31-17 victory. It wasn't nearly enough.
"I'm a little disappointed because I feel we did leave 200 yards of rushing on that field," Johnson said. "The way we were going out there and just pushing them backward and shakings things up, we should have done even more."
The Chiefs defense forced three early turnovers against a team that emphasizes ball security, and Kansas City capitalized en route to a 17-point cushion.
"You can't put Kansas City in a short field like that," Rams offensive tackle Orlando Pace said. "It makes it tough on us and a lot easier on those guys."
Jared Allen stripped Marc Bulger on a sack and recovered Steven Jackson 's fumble for the Chiefs, who have won three in a row for the first time under new coach Herman Edwards.
Chargers' offense at it again in 38-24 win - 10/29/2006Source: NFL.com
For those who might have been thinking there was something wrong with LaDainian Tomlinson, there isn't.
Tomlinson reminded everyone just how good he is when he rushed for a season-high 183 yards and scored three more touchdowns to lead the San Diego Chargers to a 38-24 win over the St. Louis Rams.
183 yards and two touchdowns on the ground from LaDainian Tomlinson sparked the Chargers.
"So many questions start to come when you don't have 100 yards," said Tomlinson, who has scored 11 touchdowns in helping the Chargers to a 5-2 record. "People start to wonder, are you getting old or have you lost a step? For me, it's all motivation.
"If I lost a step and had a day like this today, I'd hate to see if I was a young man what I would have done today with the kind of holes I ran through."
Tomlinson surpassed 8,000 yards rushing for his six-year career, and tied his boyhood idol, Emmitt Smith, as the second-fastest players to score 90 touchdowns, in 86 games. The quickest was Jim Brown in 81 games.
Tomlinson, who carried 25 times, reached 90 career TDs by scoring on the ground to cap the Chargers' first two drives. He added his 91st when he caught a 20-yard touchdown pass from Philip Rivers with 3:58 left in the game.
Seahawks' FG at the buzzer beats Rams - 10/16/2006Source: NFL.com
The luck of the Rams finally ran out.
Twice this season -- against Arizona and Green Bay -- St. Louis was on the verge of losing, only to be saved by late-game fumbles by opponents. It almost happened again, but Seattle's Josh Brown kicked a 54-yard field goal as time expired to give Seattle an improbable 30-28 win.
"It was a great game to watch, I'm sure," Seattle coach Mike Holmgren said. "A tough game to coach. Fortunately, Josh was on today."
The win put Seattle (4-1) back atop the NFC West, a half game ahead of the Rams (4-2), who have a bye next week. Seattle won with MVP running back Shaun Alexander still out with a broken foot, and without wide receiver Bobby Engram (thyroid condition) and tight end Jerramy Stevens (knee).
The game shaped up early as a Rams blowout. Two touchdown passes from Marc Bulger to Torry Holt and a 2-yard run by Steven Jackson gave St. Louis a 21-7 lead at the half.
As dominant as the Rams were in the first half, Seattle was better in the second, scoring 20 straight points to go up 27-21 late in the game.
Then the fun began.
After Bulger's first interception in 204 attempts this season gave Seattle the ball deep in St. Louis territory, the game seemed over. But Leonard Little stripped Maurice Morris at the St. Louis 7 with 2:48 to play, and Jimmy Kennedy recovered.
From the St. Louis 33, Bulger threw deep over the middle. Holt, in single coverage, got a hand on the ball at the Seattle 20, tipped it into the air, then grabbed it and ran into the end zone for a career-best third touchdown catch.
WEEK 4 SCOUTING REPORT | Lions at Rams - 10/01/2006Source: Detroit Free Press
Lions' running offense vs. Rams' run defense
Running back Kevin Jones looked good against Green Bay last week, but offensive coordinator Mike Martz gave him only six carries in the second half. The Lions were throwing the ball effectively, and they were behind.
Advantage: Rams.
Lions' passing offense vs. Rams' pass defense
Jon Kitna is off to the best three-game start for a quarterback in Lions history in terms of yards (801). He has thrown only one interception, and pass interference probably should have been called on the play.
Kitna said he had extra incentive to win because of Martz's return to St. Louis. Well, he'll have an extra challenge, too. A lot of the Rams' defenders used to play against Martz's offense every day in practice, so not much should come as a surprise to them, and the Rams are tied for second in the NFL with six interceptions.
Advantage: Lions.
Rams' running offense vs. Lions' run defense
St. Louis offensive coordinator Greg Olson -- the Lions' co-offensive coordinator at the end of last season -- has been giving the ball to running back Steven Jackson.
Advantage: Lions.
Rams' passing offense vs. Lions' pass defense
Martz has given the defensive coaches the rundown on the Rams -- their psyches, their tendencies, et cetera -- and defensive coordinator Donnie Henderson said they were using some of Martz's ideas. It helps the Lions that left tackle Orlando Pace (concussion) is doubtful.
Advantage: Rams.
Special teams
Jason Hanson hasn't been perfect on field goals. Nick Harris has struggled with punts. Eddie Drummond has struggled on punt returns. And the coverage units haven't been as good as usual, either. If Shaun Bodiford is ready to play after missing three games with a knee injury, he might help as a returner or a coverage guy.
Advantage: Lions.
Big plays help 49ers beat Rams 20-13 - 09/17/2006Source: NFL.com
When Antonio Bryant heard the next play call, he stuck his head in the San Francisco 49ers' huddle and yelled something foolish.
"Meet me in the end zone," the receiver told his offensive line.
That would've been downright hilarious from a member of last season's woeful 49ers -- but then Bryant made a 72-yard touchdown catch, keying San Francisco's 20-13 victory over the St. Louis Rams.
The 49ers' defense also looked tougher than most expected, sacking Marc Bulger six times and holding strong in the final minutes of San Francisco's second straight home-opening win over its oldest rival.
Though the postgame scene wasn't nearly as festive as the back-slapping, handshaking party after last season's opening win, coach Mike Nolan again sees progress from his club. Alex Smith passed for 233 yards and Frank Gore rushed for 127 -- including a 32-yard score -- as the 49ers (1-1) followed up a narrow loss at Arizona last week with a cohesive victory.
The Rams (1-1) have abandoned the "Greatest Show on Turf" offense that tormented the Niners for so many years -- and they've scored just one touchdown in their first two games under new coach Scott Linehan.
Steven Jackson rushed for 103 yards, but mistakes and big stops limited the Rams to three points and 118 yards in the second half.
Jackson ready for larger role in offense - 09/07/2006Source: ESPN
RB Steven Jackson has been asking for more carries for as long as he can remember, and with Mike Martz out of the picture, he expects to get them.

Faulk to miss season with knee surgery; future uncertain - 07/21/2006Source: espn.com, yahoo.com
St. Louis Rams running back Marshall Faulk will have major reconstructive knee surgery and miss the 2006 season, a blow that could spell the end of his career.
