Discussion: Rating Question
To Staff, if I understand the ratings/index chart, if I am a 70 major player moving to the 75 division, I would carry a classification of 75 major plus. What happens if there are no 75 major plus teams or a 75 major team with an open slot available to me?
Do I just quit?

Still have a couple, tournament play only. Both are very well used and are ready to go the big ballfield in the sky at anytime. Perhaps the answer is that Miken start making them again.

Discussion: GSC~~~Where Are You?
This thing has been kicked around a long time and I feel compelled to respond to Jason�s last post. Yes, Jason is right, the original GSC no longer exists. However, if history serves me right, Steve was a co-owner of that company and his buyout (probably for the design patent rights) may or may not have any ongoing legal obligations. Contract law can be tricky and it may require a court decision as to whether previous purchasers have a legal claim. I say this, because the monies we paid in the past were used toward initial development of the new bat prior to Steve taking sole ownership.
Also, Jason is right in that the new bat will be superior to the old Veterans. I for one feel that I should not expect a bat for the low promotional price that I paid for the old bat. To that end, on two occasions, once in a phone conversation with Steve and another in an email to a member of the staff, I proposed that I should pay some additional amount while receiving credit for the money previously paid. This seems to be a fair and equable solution, we would get credit for our initial payment and GSC would not be giving bats away.
As far as the current state of affairs as stated by Jason, tells me that full scale production has not stated yet, and it will be awhile before we see any bats reach the market.

Discussion: GSC Bat approved for Senior Softball
Kind of strange, in spite of all the discussion about the bat being approved, the GSC website is not providing any updates other than adding a couple of videos. Seems prudent that they should be providing some up to date info.

Until the batter drops the bat, it is part of his person. Outside the line, means completly outside the line. If the bat was inside the line, I go with jackbrun.

Thanks Glovedad, here's my contribution.
The Boys of Winter
I rise each dawn and slip away
To the field of green where the boys of winter play
We don our gear our lot is such
To play this game we love so much
What joy when throws go true
The flight of ball against the blue
By the grace of God we come another day
To the field of green where the boys of winter play

Discussion: TOC
Yeah, same thing happened to my team in the Spring Nationals last year, we lost. But I think this 75�s team earned a shot because they competed and won a number of games in a higher bracket. Just think there should be some consistency because I have seen where single entry teams in some tourneys have received an invite. One other point. It seems to me that SSUSA would try to legitimately qualify as many teams as possible for the TOC because not nearly enough teams attend to fill up the brackets.

Discussion: TOC
Regarding TOC qualification, we have a situation stemming from the ISA Winter Nationals just completed in Auburndale this past weekend. In our 70�s AAA bracket we had a 75�s AAA team competing with us because there was no other 75�s team. These guys played awesome, they made it to the championship game and won four out of six games. Now these guys paid their money for a chance at qualifying for the TOC. However, as I understand it, they will not receive an automatic qualifier in their division like any number of teams have in the past. It seems to me that based on their level of play that they should not be penalized because another team in their age division dropped out. Am I wrong here?

Discussion: Veteran Core bat
Like ChiPrimeMarty I made my purchase in September 2010 under the same promotion, and like Marty, Bill has responded to my emails promptly. Having paid only $99, I am a little uncomfortable complaining about not receiving a bat that obviously going be worth considerably more. To that regard I wouldn�t mind a price adjustment with consideration given for how long I have been waiting and the fact that GSC has had use of my money for a year and a half. And like pitcher55, I would like to see a list of prepaid bats or receive a confirmation email so that I could know for sure that I have not fallen through the crack.

Discussion: New Veteran CORE thread.....
First of all, thanks to garyaz for your response. Let me say, I could care less about personalities or conflicts; I am just interested in a bat. I agree that to bring a new product to market can be a difficult. I was involved with manufacturing products thousands of times more complicated than a bat, so I do understand the problems, especially for a new concept. Basically most of us guys have been pretty patient, we just would like info about how things are going. garyaz, you say that you know the CORE is worth waiting for, well how do you know? Have you swung one, have you even seen one. If you have any info, how about sharing. I too have high expectations, but I know that things don�t always work out as planed.

James Franco brings the term self-referential to a whole new level in this sneak peek from tomorrow's appearance on General Hosptial. Dressed in a tuxedo, he says he has "a big event to attend ... That's what I get for spending my spring between a rock and a hard place. Gosh, I hate cliches, but that was funny, right?" Right. Best Oscar promo yet. He even plugs his nomination for 127 Hours.
His character is on the phone with a guy named Jason which, if you're up to speed on the plot, you know is a call from one serial killer to another. If you're not up to speed, here where you can catch up fast before tomorrow's episode (ABC, 3 ET).

Gamma correction matters if you have any interest in displaying an image accurately on a computer screen. Gamma correction controls the overall brightness of an image. Images which are not properly corrected can look either bleached out, or too dark. Trying to reproduce colors accurately also requires some knowledge of gamma. Varying the amount of gamma correction changes not only the brightness, but also the ratios of red to green to blue.
Stand ten feet from your monitor and examine the figure. If the smooth patch is darker or lighter than the background then you need to calibrate monitor gamma. Many computer monitors come from the factory preset for an office working environment which may not be ideal for viewing and editing photographic images.

During the ceremony, veterans and current members of the military in the Anoka-Hennepin district will receive a book outlining all of the things they have done for the country – in ABC form. The book is called "All Because a Soldier Said, 'Yes!' An ABC Book for Veterans Day."
An honor guard of students will then place wreaths on stands representing the branches of the military, and students will sing "It's a Grand Old Flag."
The program will also feature video-taped messages from family members serving domestically and overseas.

Don't know a lot about him. I'm a fan of Boom Boom Satellites, one of the bands he plays for. I wouldn't know what to call his style of drumming, and i wouldn't say that i think he's the greatest drummer ever. But it was listening to his drumming that got me wanting to play drums. I only just got my first ever kit at Christmas so i am a long way off emulating his playing. All i can say is he mixes his style to suit the type of song. The band are very versatile and combine elements of dance, rock, metal, jazz, drum and bass and anything else you can probs think of. Can't find much info on web about him, does anyone out there have any info?
Ta folks.

SAN ANTONIO - The sights and sounds of 40 cultures around the world that represent the melting pot that is Texas will be on display at the Texas Folklife Festival this weekend.
"There's a boot maker that's coming up from Mercedes, Texas. We found a soap maker. We found a woodcarver, absolutely phenomenal," James Benavides, senior communications specialist at the Institute of Texan Cultures, said.
It's the 41st year for the festival, but it's never the same.
"New this year, we're going to be seeing the Argentineans. We're going to be seeing the Brazilians. The Colombians are performing this year," Benavides said.
There will be crafters and artisans at the festival, too, like Sebastiana Lee, who is selling jewelry and other hand-made goods that represent her native country, Peru.
"I have a passion for what I make, for what I sell, and I love talking to people and telling them where it came from, how I made it and the meaning of it," Lee said.
The annual celebration in San Antonio is modeled after the Smithsonian's Folklife Festival and has a big following for the last 41 years.
"We've been here for 41 years so, we got it down to a science," said Costas Sgagias at the Greek Booth. "It was gruesome hot, but it's almost like a picnic here with all the people all around, working their booths."
The festival will be held at the Institute of Texan Cultures on the UTSA HemisFair Park Campus at 801 E. Cesar E. Chavez Blvd.
Hours are 5 p.m. - 11 p.m. Friday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday, and noon to 7 p.m. Sunday.
You can still buy tickets online at texasfolklifefestival.org, or they'll be $12 dollars for adults and $5 for kids at the gate.
The website also has information about VIA park and rides.

I came up with this idea when I saw these hats at the dollar store. I recently went to a big box craft store when I was in a bigger city visiting family and they had 10" styrofoam cones for $9.99. Well, that's just too much for me to pay so I've been looking for an easy alternative. And I finally found it. These 18" hats cost $2 each.
This scarf is 100% polyester and it's sooo soft, but the best thing is that it's knitted like muffs... in the round I think they call it. I'm not a knitter so I'm not sure.
But what this means is I can put my hand all the way through and pull one end in through the scarf to meet the other. I did this because the scarf was way too long for the hat and I didn't want to cut it.
The double thickness also makes it less likely that you'll see the hat through the scarf. Once I pulled the scarf through I just placed it over the hat.
And here it is, ready to be decorated.
I used some vintage miniature glass ball ornaments, a silver star, and some silver garlands. All from my stash.
Then I simply inserted the star into the top of the hat, attached the garland at the top behind the star with a small safety pin, and added the balls using small ornament hooks. I tucked the hooks gently up into the inner layer of scarf so they weren't seen. Here are some close ups of my finished tree.
And here's my full tree again.
This tree cost me only $3 for the hat and the scarf. The decorations were from my stash. And I really like that everything can be reused. I just love the blue colour of the vintage glass ball ornaments. I wish I had more to add, but I only had seven.
After Christmas I'll just take it apart and be all ready for New Year's Eve. Whoo hoo!!
Have a fabulously festive weekend!

What is Probation?
Supervision is a dynamic process throughout which officers are to keep informed and––consistent with the conditions of release and individual circumstances––intervene with strategies designed to manage risk and provide offenders with the tools and social services they may require to succeed. It is through such intervention in higher risk cases that officers further the goal of public safety during the period of supervision and beyond.
Officers carry out these responsibilities by assessing the risks, needs and strengths of each offender to determine the appropriate level of supervision; and then utilizing skills from various disciplines to simultaneously monitor and, as necessary, control and correct offender behavior. These include the investigation skills of law enforcement, but to the primary purpose of planning for success rather than documenting failure. They include the treatment and service delivery skills of social workers, but with a primary focus on improving circumstances that are linked to criminal behavior (e.g., substance abuse; mental health; employment; education; family/community support).
Officers maintain awareness and, depending on the circumstances and conditions in the case, implement restrictive and correctional strategies to encourage pro-social behavior and facilitate positive change. This multidimensional role does not mean that each officer is expected to be an expert in all areas. Rather, officers are to serve as participating case managers, both aware of their own strengths and limitations, and knowledgeable of the range of expertise available in their offices and communities.
Officers exercise their authority judiciously, using only those supervision strategies that are sufficient, but not greater than necessary, to accomplish sentencing purposes in the individual case. They treat all offenders, colleagues, and community partners with dignity and respect. Establishing rapport and maintaining a dialogue with offenders, family members, employers, community service providers and others is the fundamental work of the supervision officer. Listening and inquiring are his or her primary tools.
The supervision mission is to execute the sentence, to protect the community by reducing the risk and recurrence of crime, and to maximize offender success during the period of supervision and beyond.
The goal in all cases is the successful completion of the term of supervision during which the offender commits no new crimes, is held accountable for victim, family and community responsibilities, and prepares for continued success through improvements in his or her conduct and condition.

Sept. 24, 2010
By Richard Stevens - Senior Writer/GoLobos.com
The game is huge, pivotal, critical and only diehard Lobo or Rebel fans would think that urgency has anything to do with a Mountain West title.
The urgency here is simply to stop the bleeding, stop the hurt, stop the losing.
"Both teams are hungry for their first win," said Lobo receiver Chris Hernandez. "It's going to be a battle."
The key stat going into this 8 p.m. (MT) kickoff Saturday in Las Vegas is 0-6. That's the combined records of New Mexico Lobos and UNLV Rebs. Sure, it's possible that one of these teams can post a win, right the wobbly boat, and challenge for a MWC title. There are plenty of games to play.
But for four quarters in Las Vegas' Sam Boyd Stadium all the Lobos and Rebs will be thinking of is win, win, win to offset what they have done so far this season --- lose, lose, lose.
"This will be a pretty good barometer," said Lobo coach Mike Locksley. "We expect to get a heck of a battle from them knowing what's at stake for both programs."
So, what's at stake? For sure, the winner can dream and scheme of rolling out six wins this season and scratching its way into the postseason fun. The winner might even get giddy and think a loss to Utah doesn't mean the MWC title also is lost.
The loser will take a major psychological blow and a major physical blow to its won-lost column. Can you lose to Rebs - or Lobos -- and really expect to go 6-2 ((6-3 for UNLV) the rest of the season in order to become bowl eligible?
That would require a lot of dreaming for either team. UNM ends the season at Air Force, at Brigham Young and home against No. 4/5 TCU. Those are MWC bullies. There also are a few decent MWC teams in the way: San Diego State, Wyoming, Colorado State.
UNLV faces the same MWC teams plus No. 22/21 West Virginia, Nevada and Hawaii. The Lobos have UTEP and New Mexico State in non-conference action.
Somewhere, somebody is labeling this a "must-win" for both Lobos and Rebels. It also is a game that appears to be winnable for both teams.
"We're putting the past few weeks behind us and moving forward trying to get a victory," said Johnathan Rainey, a Lobo defensive end.
The Lobos and the Rebs really didn't have good shots at winning earlier this season, but they both came out stumbling which led to disaster on the scoreboard.
UNM lost to nationally-ranked Oregon and Utah, and also to a Texas Tech team that could be Top 20 before the season ends. The Lobos gave up 180 points in three games. UNLV lost to nationally-ranked Utah and Wisconsin, and at Idaho, a solid team.
The Rebs and the Lobos have played badly, played not-smart football, handed games over with mistakes and poor play on special teams. Both teams eye the other as their best chance so far to crack the win column. One team will be happy late Saturday night and the other team will be 0-4.
The Rebs are favored. They are home and they haven't been pounded as badly as the Lobos have been pounded. They played Utah better statistically and didn't look all that bad against Wisconsin.
The Lobos also are without their No. 1 quarterback, B.R. Holbrook, who is having a knee scoped to see if he can even play football again this season. UNM will start either senior Brad Gruner or true freshman Tarean Austin.
The Rebs might be a little more solid at the QB spot even though their No. 1 man going into the season, Mike Clausen, is now a defender. Vegas does have a senior Omar Clayton as a solid fallback, but he was benched against Idaho in favor of redshirt freshman Caleb Herring.
The quarterback position might come with a revolving door on Saturday.
Surely, both the Lobos and the Rebs will be hoping to get their running games untracked to take pressure off the QB position. The Rebs average 91 yards rushing per game and 2.6 yards per carry. This is bad. The Lobos are worse at 63.7 and 2.0 per carry.
However, just like the win column will light up for one of these teams, it's realistic to expect the rushing numbers will improve, too. UNM gives up 536.7 total yards per game and UNLV is at 381.7 yards.
This is a game in which both teams can expect better success on both sides of the ball. The difference probably will come down to special teams, mistakes and big plays.
It is a game that both teams need to win and neither team can really afford to lose. The loser of this game will be 0-4 and will not be favored in many - if any -- games the rest of the season. Heck, it might be that way for the winner, too.

Love these types of cups so much when i go back to Australia i have friends back there who want them also
so each year i'm always bringing cups like this & all the other sizes back to australia
as in australia none of these cups are sold in australia
This is my second cold cup purchase in case I lose the first one. It was the perfect solution for my husband who is confined to bed in a nursing home and was constantly spilling his drinks. The size is perfect and the lid is secure so no more messes!
I had to purchise this cup online because they didn't have any in our Starbucks store. I love the cup anyone who hasn't got one yet order one, they are better than regular although you can not put anything hot in to the cup. I still lovre it.Add a domed lid and the cup is even better.
I loved this so much I had to run around to many different stores until I finally had a few of each size! They are strong, leak proof and insulated. If you are a venti person its a must..A great product!
It's been holding up very well. I'm glad to finally see a tall size reusable cup. Most I've seen are the grande or venti size. sometimes I just want a tall.
During warmer weather I typically get iced drinks but feel guilty about all the plastic I am using even though I recycle the cups when I'm done. It's durable and should hold up well. My one small complaint is about the straw, I wish the built-in stopper was higher up so less of it falls out (if it were to tip over). Still, the cup was on sale so it was a great deal and I will get a lot of use out of it both in store & at home. Plus now I feel less wasteful.
I purchased a Venti sized cold cup for myself before the begining of summer. When my 3 daughters ( 4 and 2 year old twins) saw it they were always asking for drinks from my cup. I decided to buy them each their own in a "kid" size ( the 12oz) They are always asking to have thier milk, water, ice tea in their Starbucks cups now and as a bonus it has saved my carpet from stains during family movie nights and issues with drinks in the car from spilling. 2 Thumbs up from me!
I have both sizes, this is a great tumbler with lid and straw. I hope starbucks always makes this one.
It's adorable and perfect for iced tea! I have all sizes and love em all!
Cup keeps drinks cold for long periods. Has nice seal on lid

This popular café draws everyone from skiving students to grannies out with the grandkids. The food menu runs to salads, baguettes and savouries; some of the teas and coffees are first-rate, and there's also a short and affordable wine list. The main room at the back has fantastic views out over the Old Town. Given the associations with JK Rowling (she wrote some early Harry Potter here), muggle memento photography outside the front door comes as no surprise.

My AP Top 25 ballot: Duke makes its first appearance
After Week 12
1 Alabama
2 Florida State
3 Baylor
4 Ohio State
5 Oregon
6 Auburn
7 Clemson
8 Stanford
10 Texas A&M
11 South Carolina
12 Missouri
13 Arizona State
14 Wisconsin
16 Oklahoma State
17 Central Florida
18 Oklahoma
19 Michigan State
20 Louisville
21 Northern Illinois
22 Fresno State
23 Ole Miss
24 Georgia
25 Duke
In: Duke (25). Out: Minnesota
Next up: Southern Cal, Minnesota
Not much movement this week – Stanford and Georgia were the only ranked teams that lost, both on last-minute plays on the road.
I kept the BCS undefeateds in the same order – Alabama, FSU, Baylor, Ohio State – with one-loss teams Oregon, Auburn and Clemson next in line. I don't have Missouri in that group yet because, while the Tigers have a great record and play in the SEC, they haven't beaten any of the best teams in the conference (Alabama, Texas A&M, South Carolina, LSU).
The biggest change at the bottom was Duke, who beat a second ranked team for the first time since 1971 and are alone atop the ACC Coastal Division. Full disclosure: I covered the team my junior and senior years in college when they went a combined 0-22. But this was no sympathy vote. Duke ran for 358 yards against Miami, finished the game on a 41-13 run and is undefeated (8-0) with QB Anthony Boone.
I couldn't knock Georgia out of the rankings for losing on such a fluky play at Auburn – plus I can't ignore the wins over LSU and South Carolina. So Southern Cal and Minnesota, who have both won four in a row, are the odd teams out this week. They would be No. 26 and No. 27, respectively.

External Time Machine HDD Does Not Sleep
I've had my iMac now since September and I am loving it, but I have a couple of questions below. I did try searching, but most of the results were about Macbooks.
I use a 1TB Buffalo external USB drive for my Time Machine backup which has worked great so far. It used to live under my desk tucked away, but recently I have moved it into a ventilated under desk cupboard so I don't keep hearing it spin up and seek when it backs up. I realised this morning when I went to get something out of the cupboard that it was still running even though my iMac was in Sleep mode.
The power/seek green light was off, but the drive was spinning and was therefore slightly warm to the touch.
I can't be 100% sure, but I thought it used to shutdown fully before. Also my iMac never seems to go to sleep automatically anymore.... could the two be connected?
Is the drive going to be consuming much power and will it do any harm?
BTW I am running OSX Lion
The other question, what happens if I switch off the power at the wall when the iMac is sleeping.... does it harm anything?
Thank you.
Some external hard drives will prevent your Mac from entering sleep mode - it just depends on the drive's firmware. A constantly spinning hard drive is consuming energy and will wear out faster.
My personal rule is I never leave my hard drives attached to my iMac unless I'm actively using them. And that also goes for my Time Machine backup drive as well. However, that may not work for everyone especially if you forget to attach the TM drive to make the backup. I use Time Machine every 2 or 3 days to do a backup rather than the default every hour which in my opinion is overkill. But I also use Carbon Copy Cloner every 2 days to clone my hard drive to another external.
To answer you last question... Don't switch off your iMac when it's sleeping as that can mess up its brain and may corrupt data. Also as an aside, I highly recommend using an UPS with your iMac.
To add to what chscag said make sure your drive has the latest firmware by going to Buffalo's site.
Thank you both very much for your replies. I am glad I never did the switch off at the wall which I have been very tempted to do.
Funnily enough when I got home tonight the drive was off and cool. Maybe it had come on in the night and hadn't yet shutdown :\
I will check the Buffalo website to see if there is an updated firmware.
My Mac used to goto sleep on its own, but not anymore. I did read somewhere that home sharing could stop it sleeping, but not sure if thats my problem.
Thanks again for your help

Why What Michael Bauer Doesn't Write Is Just As Important As What He Does
By Jessica Battilana on May 05, 2009 3:00 PM
Michael Bauer's reviews have become a hot topic in our office these last few weeks. After Sara posted her response to his harsh review of Acme Chophouse, we received an unprecedented number of emails and comments. Some people told us off. Others, notably lots of chefs, heard just where we were coming from. Many of them said they too were sick of the Bauer tyranny, but also so afraid of his influence—both here and nationally—to go on the record about how they really feel.


text: For seven years Warren Buffett, the so-called Oracle of Omaha, ranked just behind his good friend and bridge partner Bill Gates as the world's second-richest man. That era is over, at least temporarily. On March 29, Mexican telecom titan Carlos Slim Helú quietly slipped past the value investor. As of market close today, Slim is worth $53.1 billion, compared with Buffett's $52.4 billion. He is also breathtakingly close to passing Gates, currently worth $56.0 billion. .... Slim added $4 billion to his fortune in the two months since we locked in net worths for our annual billionaires rankings. http://www.forbes.com/business/2007/04/11/billionaires-helu-telecom-biz-cz_hc_0411helu.html

About Multiple Sclerosis Multiple sclerosis, an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system, interrupts the flow of information within the brain and between the brain and the body. Every hour in the United States, someone is newly diagnosed with the disease. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are moving us closer to a world free of MS. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, with more than twice as many women as men being diagnosed with the disease. MS affects more than 400,000 people in the U.S. and 2.1 million worldwide. About the National Multiple Sclerosis Society The Society addresses the challenges of each person affected by MS. To fulfill this mission, the Society funds cutting-edge research, drives change through advocacy, facilitates professional education, collaborates with MS organizations around the world, and provides programs and services designed to help people living with MS and their families move forward with their lives. In 2010 alone, through its national office and 50-state network of chapters, the Society devoted $159 million to its programs and services that assisted more than one million people. To move us closer to a world free of MS, the Society also invested $37 million to support 325 new and ongoing research projects around the world. The Society is dedicated to achieving a world free of MS. Join the movement at nationalMSsociety.org.

Updated: 11/16/2012 11:17 PM KSTP.com By: Scott Theisen
Minneapolis Police say they didn't find any evidence of a shooting Friday at a downtown office building after responding to a report of possible shots fired.
It appears the sound of a construction tool was mistaken for gunfire prompting a lockdown of the Retek building, which is part of Target's campus. It's located at 10th and Nicollet.
Minneapolis Police Sergeant Steve McCarty said someone thought they heard gunfire Friday morning. He said the call came in second-hand to a security officer.
Minneapolis Police searched the building for more than two hours and did not find any evidence or casings.
Around 1:30 p.m., Minneapolis Police Chief Janeé Harteau said the building was given an 'all-clear' and employees returned to work.
Five people initially heard the noise, which is being described as a 'popping sound.'
Police say a preliminary investigation indicated that maintenance workers were working on the upper floors. They were using a construction tool that mimicked the sound of gunfire.
At least 15 squad cars responded to the scene, and the investigation was centered around the tenth floor.
Target employees were told to barricade themselves in their offices during the investigation.
Molly Snyder with Target released the following statement, "Around 11 a.m. this morning, there were reports of loud noises in the building located at 50 South Tenth Street where approximately 1,300 Target team members and contractors work.
The entire Target team is incredibly grateful that after a full sweep by law enforcement there is no evidence of any issue or injury.
As always, our primary focus is on the safety and wellbeing of our team members. We are thankful for the quick response of the local officers and to our team for their cooperation."
The University of St. Thomas downtown campus is located on the same block. The university put out a public safety alert.
The crowd in the area outside the building appeared to be calm during the investigation.

Not consistant
By Al from Pittsburgh
from Pittsburgh
I ordered two suits (separates) just like my previous order. However, previously I ordered the Signature Series. This was the Traveler series. The Signature suit fit fine (50 RL). However, the Traveler suit was very tight. I had to return the jackets for 52 RL. Another thing, one of the jackets originally received did not match the pants. Finally, I got it all straightened out and the suits fit fine. Thank you.
nice jacket
By Timw
from Louisville, KY
nice jacket, fairly priced for quality. In house tailor did a nice job. Hate the silly 75% off sales. It's not a an $800 jacket but it is a very nice $200-250 jacket. Would recommend.
My size, right out of the box.
By Fane Roberts
from Sayre, PA
I'm big not tall, and I have faced a lifetime of finding difficulty getting suits that are stylish. When a friend recommended Jos A. Bank last year, I was shocked to find two suits in the store my size. Now, a three for one sale allowed me to order online, including finished cuffed trousers, and have three new suits just days later. I love this store, and the suits are awesome.
Would definately buy JB products again
By Rich
from Worcester, MA
Since this is a Portly size, selections are limited. However, a purchase was made and now we'll see how it does stand up as far as wrinkle, etc. resistant. It did come somewhat wrinkled in the shipping box, however, the real test will be after wearing it. We did receive an excellent price as we ordered it on line. Salespeople and tailor were helpful in providing information re: exact size and fit because we had to order pants and jacket as separates.

God Save The Queen"God save our gracious Queen long live our noble Queen, God save our Queen…
The childhood song will forever be embedded in my memory. We little six years sang that song in 1961. We also saluted to the union jack while we, "pledged our allegiance to this flag and to the commonwealth for which it stands…
We Canadian first graders didnÂ't understand any of the words were saying after all we were too young.
Later, the Union Jack was replaced with our own flag the Maple Leaf in 1965, and we simply exchanged the words to, "We pledge allegiance to this flag and to Canada for which it stands."
We didnÂ't understand what allegiance meant but we had a pretty good idea what God save our Queen meant. We sang Oh Canada and we continued to sing God Save Our Queen.
We were taught to respect the Queen even though she lived in a different country. Never in our wildest dreams would we have ever fathomed that someone would want to kill her. Why would anyone want to kill a king or Queen? They were nice people whom we read about in fairytales. Okay some were not so nice, but for the most part they were nice people who took care of their kingdom and their royal subjects. Gosh all these years later, I look at those words "royal subjects" and realize just how little, bestowing an identity on the common people, was valued in those days, They were no common people just subjects.
However, it appears that not everyone believes that it is important to save the Queen or, maybe God does Save the Queen as evidenced by the failed attempts on her life?
Nine years afterward, a plot to assassination Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh was being planned out. The plot to kill the Queen and Prince Philip was kept secret until today.
Retired detective Cliff McHardy, maintains that while Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip were traveling by train from Sidney to the town of Orange in Australia on April 29, 1970, a log was planted on the track to derail the train and cause the death of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip. Fortunately the train hit the log but was not thrown off course. Had the train been going any faster it would have derailed plunging into an embankment.
Len Ashworth, a junior crime reporter for the Lithgow Mercury at the time, corroborates the story and says the police told the newspaper to keep quiet. Today, Len Ashworth is the managing editor of the Lithgow Mercury. Ashworth maintains that although they were not allowed to print the story yet the whole town new about it. Amazingly, the secret has been well preserved because Buckingham Palace was not aware of the attempt on the lives of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip.
The Australian federal police are now investigating the incident to verify the alleged assassination attempt recently reported to the Lithgow Mercury by Cliff McHardy.
In 2007, another plot to kill the Queen was foiled. The Ugandan Government unraveled a plot to kill the Queen that was said to have been orchestrated by Al Qaeda terrorists who posed as two camera crews for the Commonwealth Summit. They planned on blowing up the Queen with explosives. As a result, there was no coverage of the QueenÂ's Summit speech on November 22, 2007.
Dr Ruhakana Rugunda, the Uganda Minister of Internal Affairs, said: "We received information that a terrorist group linked to Al Qaeda, the Allied Democratic Forces, was planning to carry out terrorist activities at the Commonwealth meeting. The security services in Uganda neutralised these threats."
Queen Elizabeth narrowly escaped death at the hands of would be assassins on two separate occasions. Could it be that little six year olds a continent away who sang, God Save Our Queen, in 1961 had any impact on the life of this great monarch?
I would like to think so.

There is an endless list of culprits that cause back and neck pain, and millions of people who suffer from these conditions each year can vouch for that. Poor posture at the desk, straining muscles during a workout, or simply tweaking it stepping out of the shower are all well-known causes of dreaded back and neck pain. But what about the items you use everyday that cause pain?
One of the most common and overlooked items that cause back and neck pain in woman is their purse. Excess weight, uneven weight distribution, and prolonged strain from carrying a purse all day can lead to chronic pain and soreness throughout the body. Following are some of the key reasons why your purse could be causing you chronic pain, as well as some simple tips to staying pain free.
Be Careful What You Carry
Have you stopped to look at how much you carry in your purse lately? It seems bags are getting bigger and bigger every day, and with this new trend, an increase in weight is being carried by woman in their purses across the country. Carrying around additional weight puts stress on your muscles and spine, and as woman load more and more into their purses each year, the strain on their bodies is increasing drastically.The problem is that in the long term, if you are using it everyday, you may not realize the severe medical effect that your purse is placing on your body.
Whats worse is this weight is often focused on one side of the body since woman typically carry their purse over one shoulder. This greatly affects your posture causing your body's supporting muscles to overcompensate to correct for balance. Depending on how much weight you carry in your purse and the manner in which you hold it, your spine will be drastically curved to one side to help carry the load. When your spine is misaligned and placed under heavy amounts of stress, serious medical conditions, including severe chronic pain, will develop over time.
What Chronic Conditions May Develop
Carrying too heavy of a bag can cause more than small aches and strains on your body. Over time, carrying excess wight on one side of your body can lead to a number of chronic conditions as well. These include an increased risk of scoliosis or kyphosisin in woman with weak bones, a greater risk of tension headaches caused by pressure placed on the muscles of the back and neck, osteoporosis, degenerative joint disease in predisposed shoulders, and numbness and tingling in the arm from nerve microtrauma. Although these conditions are very serious, there are simple and effective solutions to preventing them fro developing.
Preventing Purse-Related Pain
There are a number of simple tips you can use to maintain a pain-free back and neck when carrying your purse. The first thing you should do is lighten your load. According to the American Chiropractic Association, you should only carry 5% of your total body weight in your purse on one side, which is only 7 pounds for someone who is 140 lbs. Next, adjust how you carry your purse. Most woman have a favored side or way to carry their purse, but this can lead to pain over time and discrepancies in muscle use. Switch arms often and consider carrying your purse across your body rather than on just one side. Another simple tip to pain-free purse carrying is to use wider straps. Wider straps help distribute the weight of the bag more evenly over your shoulder which greatly reduces pain.
You may not be able to avoid carrying a purse with you throughout your day, but there are a number of simple changes you can make to greatly reduce the chase of chronic pain from developing. The best advice you can take is to listen to your body. When muscles in your back, neck, shoulder, or legs begin to ache, switch your purse to the other side or take a short break to let your muscles recover. Also remember that weight symmetry is key. If you must carry a heavy load, make sure it is spread out evenly across both sides of your body to prevent pain from developing.

Briana Lynn Minard-Adler
He couldn't feel her or hear her,
Simply because he chose not to,
But believe it or not she was there with him everyday trying to point him,
Out of harms way.
He was always a daredevil,
Anger built up inside,
Tears welled up in his eyes,
He missed his sister all too much.
He didn't cut anymore for he had a beautiful wife, and three gorgeous children,
But somehow that wasn't enough,
He wanted her back.
This time he heard her voice,
And he saw her face,
He was astounded.
He fell to his knees as he had the night she died,
He put his head in his hands,
And he began to weep.
She rubbed his back,
She hated seeing him this way,
Then he asked in a belittled voice,
"What should I do sis?"
She replied,
"Stay strong for me, your wife, and kids."
But all he wanted to do was be with his sister again,
But she told him to strong and so he stayed strong,
He lived to be one hundred and ten years old,
It was then that he died of old age, a broken heart, and an illness,
But at least he joined her again,
It was then they were truly happy,
He found his wife there,
And started waiting for children and grandchildren.
He loves that Living Dead Girl,
Whom was once his sister.

If you follow my Cfg guide you shouldn't get that error. Check your folder paths. Should be SD:/apps/USBLoader/boot.dol. What forwarder is it (just type the file name).
I finally gave in and switched from usb loader gx to cfg loader. It runs fine when I launch from homebrew channel on sd card and usb hd. When I run the forwarder channel I get "error: couldn't open file press any button to reboot wii" It is cfg v60 What did I do wrong? The forwarder came in the pack with loader, found the link on wiihacks.
If you follow my Cfg guide you shouldn't get that error. Check your folder paths. Should be SD:/apps/USBLoader/boot.dol. What forwarder is it (just type the file name).
Damn I suck!!!!
Should work fine...did you download from my guide? Check the file/folder paths?
Damn I suck!!!!
just checked, yes it was your guide. have checked them, it wouldnt work from HB if it was wrong would it? I even uninstalled the channel and reinstalled to get the same results.
Odd, no idea why this would cause your issue but....there should be 2 .dol files in the USBLoader folder. Delete the one you are not using. Other then that I can't really think of what it would be...try a different forwarder channel.
Damn I suck!!!!
hmmmm....I did not delete the 222dol. I didnt think that it would matter because it isnt named boot.dol. will try that and see if it works.
EDIT>>> That did not solve it either
Alternate Forwarder Channel --CFG USB Loader - DFCL.rar (Thanks Cile)<< This one works for me
Alternate Forwarder Channel --HomerCFGLoader - CFGU.rar (Thanks Thatfloorguy)<< This one says couldnt mount sd ( because its not there, I am running off fat32 HD)
Not sure why those others do not work, but at least I have a forwarder that works.
Last edited by skellinator; 10-06-2010 at 06:54 PM.
because some forwarders only look on sd....and they look in certain path so you have to name the folder right...
you can use customizemii and make your own(be careful as wrong wad can brick)
Complex Forwarderto make complex forwarders(looks on sd and usb and can look in more then six different paths) you need devkitPPC and newest LiboGC installed
The forwarder in the pack works from my USB drive last I remember. So not sure why you had that issue..
Edit: usbloadercfg_forwarder_ucxf
This forwarder works from SD and USB, just tested.
Last edited by Krank; 10-06-2010 at 10:16 PM.
Damn I suck!!!!
I am having the same issue and I am trying to go from GX to CFG, can CFG launch WBFS? and would it give error because the NTFS file system on my USB doesn't have anything on it? I would really like to get this figured out because since I've fixxed my mod in the last day GX isn't working almost all of my games are freezing after 10-15 minutes. I may need to just update to 4.3u and use the indiana pwns hack, I've done it to 3 friends recently and seems to work flawlessley.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Arizona Cardinals
Cardinals' Ryan Lindley will learn from mistakes
It's been a few days since Arizona Cardinals quarterback Ryan Lindley made his first NFL start, and he's spent that time studying film and reflecting on his performance.
"It's funny, there were about six to ten throws there that you really want back but talking to Kevin (Kolb) and a lot of other guys, every game there are six to ten throws that you want back," said Lindley. "It's just that three of those were absolutely horrible."
Lindley threw four interceptions Sunday against the Rams, two of which were returned for touchdowns. In the two games he's played in this season, Lindley has compiled a passer rating of 47.0.
"You just have to correct those mistakes; you can't dwell on them but just move past it," he said.
Lindley is the third starting quarterback that the Cardinals have used this season due to injury and performance. He's completed 31-of-52 passes for 312 yards and zero touchdowns to go along with the four picks.
Lindley got some advice and some perspective from his teammates already this week.
"Kevin (Kolb) talked to me after we watched the film and he said �you know you played a pretty dang good game, besides those six or so plays, besides those four interceptions, it was a solid start.'"
Despite his struggles in the second half of last Sunday's loss to the Rams, Lindley says there are still some positive things to take from the game.
"For me, this is a results-driven game. We lost the game and I gave up 14 points," he said. "To myself, it wasn't a good game but there were things I can look at, I can move forward from, gain some confidence from and take into this week."
This weekend, the sixth-round pick from San Diego State will have the challenge of stopping the Cardinals current seven-game skid. They are the first team in NFL history to lose seven straight after starting 4-0, according to ESPN Stats and Information. Arizona hasn't lost eight straight games since 2006.

How the Internet of Things will enable 'smart buildings' July 14, 2015 at 3:32 pm

Microsoft now has one million servers – less than Google, but more than Amazon, says Ballmer July 19, 2013 at 1:11 pm
At Microsoft's 2013 Worldwide Partner Conference, CEO Steve Ballmer gave us a very interesting tidbit about the scale of Microsoft's server operations. "We have something over a million servers in our datacenter infrastructure." Furthermore, Ballmer even went on to say that "Google is bigger" and "Amazon is a little bit smaller." It is extremely rare to hear such direct figures; in almost two decades, Google and Amazon have never even put a rough figure on their server count — and now Ballmer is on stage, giving up their secrets.

Mail question
An interesting mail question-
I can't use my school's outgoing smtp server when im at home, so i setup my isp email (which my dad uses, he was kind enough to give me his password). my dilemma is this; i dont want to get his email. but i have to have the account setup in order to use the outgoing server. is there anyway to delete the inbox to that account, or disable something so that i will not get his email? thanks!
I forget where it is right now, since I am not in from of my powerbook. There should be an option where you can turn of the account, so that you do not receive mail. You should then have a choice of which mail servers to use.
I think if you select the account and then select the tab on the right you should find the option.
go to menu item Mailbox select Online Status select Take "xxxxxxxxx" Offline
my response assumes that you are using Apple's "Mail" application
thanks guys; the advanced tab is where i found the solution.
