Quarterback Michael Vick and the Philadelphia Eagles look to get on the winning track today against the Buffalo Bills.
ORCHARD PARK - One of the big topics of conversation this week has been focused on the fact that the Philadelphia Eagles are going to be a very angry team when they arrive at Ralph Wilson Stadium today, and how that can't be a good thing for the Buffalo Bills.
Buffalo wide receiver Stevie Johnson, as you might expect, has a different take.
"We're both angry and that's going to make for a great game," he said. "We feel like we should've won (last week in Cincinnati). They're supposedly the dream team and feel like they should be undefeated right now, so they're ticked off and we're ticked off. It's going ...

They started the year with a loss to Saint Mary's Gaels. A 76-71 set-back that had fans and prognosticators alike dismissing the Red Storm before they even had a chance to eat turkey on Thanksgiving. The losses to St. Bonaventure and the Fordham Rams about a month later didn't inspire much faith that St. John's would be able to turn their season around. People were already picking them to take over the spot that most had assumed Connecticut would hold - last place.
That's when first year head coach Steve Lavin decided that his players weren't hearing what he was telling them. After trailing Davidson by three points at the half on December, 20th, He yelled and cursed his team for the entire break, telling them that if they didn't start playing defense, that they may not be playing basketball again... not for the Red Storm. St. John's came back out, and won a game that is noted for it's lack of offense, the Storm holding Davidson scoreless over the final five finutes of the game.
A win verse Northwestern would come the very next day; and a week later they beat a good West Virginia team on the road. St. John's would then travel to Providence and beat the Friars. The Red Storm was rolling. But, they had a new test; against then ranked #13 Georgetown; a team that was surely feeling a little down after looking bad a few days earlier to Notre Dame. But St. John's persevered, and they took the game to the Hoyas, leading by six at the half, and playing the type of defense their new coach wants out of them, held on for a 61-58 victory. 5 straight wins; four against very quality opponents, and all of a sudden, people are remembering that St. John's still has some talent, and may be a little better than they thought.
"We just needed some time to pull together, and understand coach's system." said St.John's senior D.J. Kennedy
Well, now that they learned the system, they should prepare for their next test: They travel to South Bend, IN to face the last team to beat Georgetown before they did. Then, if they manage that; they get to further test themselves when Syracuse rolls into Madison Square Garden on January 12th.
If the Red Storm can somehow manage to keep winning, there may be a perfect storm brewing for March; a Red Storm.

text: Halo 4 multiplayer tips and tricks: The best weapon, armour and mod tactics Gaming 08 November 12 by David Cornish Halo 4 capture the flag343 Industries Building your loadout Following in the wake of other major online FPSs, Halo 4 has introduced ordinance drops to Infinity Slayer: earn enough in-game "points" from kills, assists and other reward-worthy plays like distraction or assassination, and you can call in your own ordinance dropped weapon or armour boost.Customisable loadouts have also been included, allowing you to take control of more than just your weapon combination, with Armour Abilities and Armour Mods. Here's our guide to their best uses and tips on how to partner them up.Armour Abilities:Active Camo: As in Reach, Active Camo generates near invisibility for a player. Best teamed with a mid- or close-ranged weapon, like the Shotgun or Assault Rifle, and the Stealth Upgrade armour mod (see below).Hardlight Shield: Like a Jackal's wrist shield, the Hardlight Shield throws up a protective shield in front of the player, though you can't fire while using it. It can be easy to forget about the Hardlight Shield in the heat of battle, but it can be a life-saving tool for evading multiple enemies or killing time against a SAW-equipped opponent while teammates come to the rescue. Your shield won't recharge while using the Hardlight Shield, but it can be vital to use it as cover while you backpedal into more stable cover.Promethean Vision: This battlefield changing ability allows you to see the outlines of all the players on the map in a Predator-like red glow. Best used on smaller maps (the scan can take too long to cover wider maps), and in quick bursts, to see if an enemy is lurking round the corner. Tap it on before entering a room -- should there be someone in there already, throw in a grenade first and follow it up.Hologram: A brilliant and underrated armour ability from Reach returns. You can easily find yourself hammering a player wondering why they won't just die -- only for that player to run headlong into a wall, causing you to realise it's a hologram, cursing as the real player pops up to finish you off. Used wisely, this is one of the most useful armour abilities available, allowing you to escape battles or create battle-winning distractions.Jet Pack: A favourite of Reach, the Jet Pack coupled with a dexterity or fast track armour mod can make a player one an impossibly slippery player. One of the most terrifying encounters Wired.co.uk had during the test phase was against one such player armed with a Needler, who proceeded to bounce and skip around the map, reducing all other gamers to a heap of tears and anger.Regeneration field: For team players, the regeneration field will heal all nearby Spartans. Useful in the loadout of assist players or drivers, along with the Wheelman armour mod.Thruster Pack: Like the Elite dodge of Reach, the Thruster Pack can be vital for getting yourself out of a sticky situation, and wickedly useful when facing off against a foe armed with the Sword or Shotgun. Coupled with a dexterity or fast track armour mod, no one is ever, ever going to catch you.Autosentry: Deploying a little turret (which can be blown up if required) can be pointless for some game types, but game changing for others. Deploy a turret by a flag or base and it's like your team has gained an extra man.Armour ModsFirepower Package: Want to carry a primary weapon in your secondary weapon slot? Then the Firepower Package is for you. Particularly useful if you want to carry both the BR and DMR (but Wired.co.uk advises against this), the Firepower Package is only really useful once you've unlocked some powerful primary weapons in the loadout options.Resupply Package: Allows you to recover grenades from dead Spartans. The least useful Mod Wired.co.uk used.Wheelman Package: If you're the designated driver, then the Wheelman Package is a must. This gives your vehicle more stamina, and prevents charged Plasma pistol shots from stopping your onslaught. Keep this in a second loadout for use in points mid-game when you know there's a Scorpion tank or Warthog at your team base.Fast Track Package: This is a good go-to Mod for all players, allowing you to rank up at a faster rate than usual. Useful for improving your overall rank before you start specialising in particular skills.Sensor Upgrade: By increasing the motion sensor, you can annoy every player on the field with your terrifying knowledge of where everyone is at all times. Coupled with Promethean Vision and a Sniper Rifle, and you're nearly unstoppable.Stealth Upgrade: This will make you near silent when sprinting (an ever available option in Halo 4), the Stealth Upgrade is a must for players using the Active Camo armour mod, allowing you to assassinate players (an act that gives you more points than a standard melee to the back) with quicker speed, leaving you less vulnerable to counterattack from teammates.Explosives Upgrade: Hard to detect when active, this armour mod will mean that grenade explosions will do less damage to you, changing their blast radius and thus hopefully taking out other nearby opponents.Dexterity Upgrade: A very useful generic mod, this upgrade will see you reload and change weapons with terrifying speed. Your suggestionsWe want to build out this list with your help. Leave you own tips and tricks when you discover them in the comments below. Edited by Nate Lanxon Back to start 12 Read on one page Comments I've also found the thruster pack to be incredibly useful for getting you *into* sticky situations. Great for closing the gap for a surprise melee kill or assassination. I've used this tactic on a few flood players with some success. The only caution here is to get your distance right as once you commit you need to know you're going to wind up in the right place - overshooting is quite possibly the worst thing that can happen. M1sterTibbs Nov 9th 2012 While the plasma pistol is "still at the bottom of the Halo weapon food chain", you forgot to mention how a charged shot will temporarily shut down vehicles! Nothing is more embarrassing than rushing an opponent in a Ghost or Warthog, only to have him render you completely immobile with one well-timed plasma pistol shot and finish you off with a sticky plasma grenade. TheScubaGeek Nov 9th 2012 In reply to TheScubaGeek no he didnt forget to say that, he said it under the wheelman mod idiot. make sure u know wat ur talking about before u open ur mouth brandon osborn Feb 6th 2013 In reply to brandon osborn Relax man, he was trying to be helpful. roid Feb 18th 2013 In reply to brandon osborn You nerdy Tool!!! Q Feb 24th 2013 Using firepower with a jet pack is really affective when you use the BR as primary and storm rifle as secondary. I've found it easy to go into a room with either one is great or to get long range then close the gap with your jetpack and finish them with the storm rifle. Base 2257 Nov 11th 2012 how do i get a extra player to join our xbox party kelsie Nov 11th 2012 A cool thing I found out about the thruster pack is that if you set it to infinite use, you can wall run/climb on things at 60 degrees. This is sweet because Im making a space map with thruster packs set to infinity use with lowered gravity and you have to wall run with it to get to a incineration cannon and banshee Mr kibbles Nov 11th 2012 This article is terrible... Did this guy pay ANY attention to the game? Also the Boltshot is a one shot kill when charged up (if you get close enough), the Plasma Pistol is NOT the worst weapon in the game because of its EMP function and the noob combo, the Storm Rifle is the worst weapon in the game, the rocket launcher's rocket speed is slightly higher than in Reach, the UNSC Shotgun is better than the Scattershot (Scattershot is inaccurate and holds five shots while the UNSC Shotgun is an instant kill most of the time, is accurate, and holds six shots), and this guy uses terms in the wrong way, such as on the Railgun description: "the magazine only holds one clip" it should say: "the magazine only holds one shot". HaloBoy Nov 12th 2012 In reply to HaloBoy the scatter shot is good if you get close enofe it is a one shot kill THAT GUY IN HALO Dec 30th 2012 In reply to THAT GUY IN HALO ive gotten alot more kills with the shotgun than ss prometeum weapons cause to much of a scene evan Jan 15th 2013 In reply to HaloBoy How is the storm rifle the worst weapon in the game. I personally think it is extremely effective at short range. The storm rifle is basically the covenent assault rifle or suppressor. Although I agree with your comment about the plasma pistol not being the worst weapon in the game. In multiplayer on Infinity Slayer/Big team slayer I think the worst weapon in the game is the railgun, as it takes to long to charge up. Whenever I use it I charge it up but before it shoots I'm killed with a headshot. jasey2 Jan 7th 2013 In reply to jasey2 i agree with the railgun evan Jan 15th 2013 In reply to jasey2 SO DOES THE SPARTAN LAZER SPARTANSTYLE63 Jan 29th 2013 In reply to HaloBoy Damn dude theres these things called opinions Cliff Jan 23rd 2013 In reply to HaloBoy Settle down mate, I think you take this game WAY too seriously!!! Get a girlfriend or something. Q Feb 24th 2013 In reply to Q Lol Jared Mar 24th 2013 In reply to HaloBoy I absolutely agree with you - exactly what I was about to say! Nat K Mar 30th 2013 Thanks for the comment HaloBoy. That was indeed a mistake on the Railgun description. Hope you're enjoying Halo 4. David Cornish Nov 13th 2012 Yeah, Here's my go-to loadout:BRMagnumPlasmaPromethean VisionMobilityDexterity It would be great to hear you input. It seems that no matter what I do, I most always end up dying. Someone always kills me faster, even if I have the surprise on them. Please help! POOPY Nov 15th 2012 In reply to POOPY you just gotta practice! my load out isDMRMagPlasmaInvisibility stealthI havent really gotten into it yet, but i have played about 40 games and my K/D ratio is about a 1.5 which for me not playing reach anytime this year and picking up the game rusty is pretty good Vince Nov 16th 2012 In reply to POOPY thats a good loadout mobility and dexterity work great prometeum visions kinda iffy though and in the hands of an exeptionally skilled player the dmr is a better weapon than the br but for those that have trouble with the dmrs hard to manage at close range problem brs good to it takes months of nothing but training with the dmr to master it evan Jan 15th 2013 In reply to POOPY actually railgun is friggin amazin.... Use it on big team slayer maps vs warthogs or tanks or any vehicle in general, watch how fast u get double & triple kills lol add a plasma nade to boot for extra fun Jkish Feb 10th 2013 No you don't have stealth if you've only played 40 games as you have to be level 60 to unlock stealth. At 50 change to wetwork then get wetwork to level 10 which is level 60 and it's IMPOSSIBLE to gain over a level per game seeing how when you hit 49 it's like 60,000 xp to move up to 50. nice try anon Nov 19th 2012 In reply to anon It is possible that he leveled up to 60 and got stealth if he was to play only Spartan Ops and complete all the challenges asides from War Games challenges before ever once stepping foot into a multiplayer match.... it may sound odd but if he is saying he has stealth and hes only played 40 matches then thats what he would have had to do. by no means is that impossible nor would it even be difficult, just a lot more time consuming..... some people just arent that into multiplayer matches... or maybe hes new to Halo and wanted to hone his skills before getting into War Games whateverwhateva Mar 10th 2013 THEY SHOULD ADD COOP CAMPAIGN SO I WONT HAVE TO INV FRIENDS TO THE GAME SO I CAN GET THE MK-VI FASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TROLOLOLOL Nov 19th 2012 what do you think of this loadout?lightrifleboltshot/A.R. (if i have firepower)plasmamobility/firepowerand the mod that allows us of sensor use while scoped erikon14 Nov 21st 2012 In reply to erikon14 A great loadout in my opinion but I would recomend a BR or DMR rather than a light rifle jasey2 Jan 7th 2013 I run around with Assault RifleBoltshotPlasmaHologramGrenadier/AmmoFor me hologram is probably the most useful tool in my arsenal, if you aim it right you can really fool a few people, then rush in guns blazing getting that all important first strike.(Just wait until the plasma barrage stops :L) MrLuk3e Nov 23rd 2012 In reply to MrLuk3e If you aim hologram at killed player it teabags it for you. Basicly its for being safe while being a boss.

Makes it easier to see enemies outlines from long distance. On solace, you can see through the beam in the center of the map which is useful for taking out enemies on the other tower.Awareness is my second favorite thing about Halo 4 trailing only to the binary rifle. I enjoy sniping and being scoped in without having to worry about anyone assassinating me. Its nice.Correction in the article: binary rifle holds 2 rounds and is instant kill.

ngpgeeta wrote:In addition to the two standard options for creating Form Beans(validatorForm or DynaValidatorForm), Validator provides an advanced feature for tying multiple validation definitions to one Form Bean definition. When you use validatorForm- or DynaValidatorForm-based Form Beans, Validator uses the logical name for the Form Bean from the struts-config.xml file to map the Form Bean to validation definitions in the validation.xml file. This mechanism is great in most cases, but in some scenarios, Form Beans are shared among multiple actions. One action may use all of the Form Bean's fields, and another action may use only a subset of the fields. Because validation definitions are tied to the Form Bean, the action that uses only a subset of the fields has no way of bypassing validations for the unused fields. When the Form Bean is validated, it generates error messages for the unused fields, because Validator has no way of knowing not to validate the unused fields; it simply sees them as missing or invalid.
To solve this problem, Validator provides two additional ActionForm subclasses that allow you to tie validations to actions instead of to Form Beans. That way you can specify which validations to apply to the Form Bean based on which action is using the Form Bean. For concrete Form Beans, you subclass org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorActionForm, as follows:
public class AddressForm extends ValidatorActionForm { ... }
For dynamic Form Beans, you specify a type of org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorActionForm for your Form Bean definition in the struts-config.xml file, as follows:
<form-bean name="addressForm" type="org.apache.struts .validator.DynaValidatorActionForm"> ... </form-bean>
Inside your validation.xml file, you map a set of validations to an action path instead of to a Form Bean name, because if you have two actions defined, Create Address and Edit Address, which use the same Form Bean, each will have a unique action path, as follows:
<action-mappings> <action path="/technology/createAddress" type="com.jamesholmes .minihr.CreateAddressAction" name="addressForm"/> <action path="/technology/editAddress" type="com.jamesholmes .minihr.EditAddressAction" name="addressForm"/> </action-mappings>
Hope this helps


text: An interesting occurrence over the weekend at the track. Oil started collecting on top of the timing cover. Normal running in the pits, no obvious oil leak. The oil only appears after a hard run. It started appearing with the latest increase in boost level. It seems to be trailing from the front end seal of the lifter valley cover. After some thinking, I figured out that crankcase pressure is building enough to push up on the valley plate and affect the end seal. Next PMing of the engine, I'll be increasing the thickness of the valley cover plate and looking into using a different model of rings. Those that are building their own intake, pay attention to that possibility.

Rated 4 out of 5 by AnnML Stylish Attractive Lamp I really love the look of this floor lamp and think it would go with many types of decor. It looks great in my library as the reading lamp for our settee. I love it! The only thing on the very slightly negative side is that the base could be a little bit heavier to better stabilize the lamp when you pull the cord to turn it on. Not that it tips over or anything when you pull the cord, but it could just be slightly heavier. All in all though, I LOVE this lamp! Very cool looking. November 22, 2014

Official UDFA Thread
Here is a thread to discuss the players we have signed, might sign, should sign etc.
a poster on 'saintsreport.com', stated that we might sign....
Peter Dyakowski (G, LSU)
Does anyone know of a website that will have a list of who signs where?
the saints have signed Tyler Palko (QB, Pitt)!!
this is the QB, i wanted us to draft and we got him! a Payton type QB.
I think we really could use some depth at safety, so a guy like Jesse Daniels of LSU or Willis Barringer of Michigan would be a nice pickup.
I also think we messed up by not drafting a DT. I like Jeremy Clark (Alabama) -- 310 lbs. and ran a sub-5.00 40.
I think he'll do well as an understudy to Brees.
Rhema McKnight (WR, Notre Dame) is a Saint, as well!
big sleeper and a nice pick-up!
According to Draft Daddy we have also picked up these guys:
* Wade Koehl, LB, Houston
* Jake Kuresa, OL, B.Y.U.
someone on 'saintsreport.com' has stated that...
we have signed Walter Thomas (DT. Miss West CC). the guy is supposedly very legit with his info.
if true, this guy has great size and talent...hopefully he pans out!
I can't wait until rookie mini-camp and especially training camp. All will become clear by then.
Walter Thomas
April 25, 2007
For N.F.L. Draft, the Biggest (XXXXXXL) Sleeper
By LEE JENKINS
GALVESTON, Tex., April 21 On the edge of the Texas Gulf is a 370-pound football player who can execute a perfect forward flip.
When he lands, the ground trembles.
The players name is Walter Thomas, and as he kicked his size 16 feet overhead Saturday morning, onlookers studied the sculpted giant with curiosity and awe. It was the kind of reaction Thomas usually elicits from professional football scouts.
I feel like Im a big secret, Thomas said. The secret of the draft.
The National Football League draft, which begins Saturday, does not really have secrets anymore. Prospects are timed and tested, interviewed and investigated, over and over again. Entire dossiers are prepared for second-string players.
Thomas is as close as modern football can come to an old-fashioned sleeper. In the past two years, his only playing experience was at Northwest Mississippi Community College in Senatobia, Miss. He played in two games, both losses. Then he was arrested on a charge of conspiracy to commit robbery, according to the Tate County (Miss.) Circuit Clerks office, and never played college football again.
Judging by his credentials, perhaps Thomas should not be drafted. Judging by his dimensions, however, Thomas has to be drafted.
Big Walt, as he is known, is a 6-foot-5 defensive tackle who wears a size XXXXXXL jersey. He bench presses 475 pounds and squats 800 pounds. Weight lifters at the Galveston Health and Racquet Club stop their workouts to watch him.
Football teams everywhere are filled with big men, but many of them can barely move. Thomas has run the 40-yard dash in 4.9 seconds, faster than some N.F.L. tight ends. He is the rare tackle who can catch a running back from behind.
The guy is a dadgum Russian gymnast, said Randy Pippin, the head coach at Northwest Mississippi.
Thomass flexibility has become part of his lore. He does handstands and handsprings, broad jumps and cartwheels. When he gets excited, he will do a back flip.
I never thought a body that big could flip in the air, said Ron Holmes, who coached Thomas at Ball High School in Galveston. I wouldnt have believed it unless Id seen it with my own two eyes.
Three months ago, Thomas was little more than a novelty act. He declared for the draft as a 21-year-old junior, but unlike most underclassmen heading to the N.F.L., he had no highlight reel to send scouts and few statistics for them to analyze. The Web site nfldraftscout.com ranked him as the 74th-best defensive tackle.
It was a different situation, said Martin Magid, Thomass agent. He was coming from the basement.
Magid, who represents several professional football players, lobbied for Thomas to be included in a predraft all-star game called Texas vs. The Nation. When the workouts for that game began, Thomas was an afterthought. When they ended, he was an Internet phenomenon.
Draftniks found a new darling. Bloggers were breathless. Draftdaddy.com reported that Thomas was unstoppable and nimble and drew reactions ranging from gasps to smiles to a simple shake of the head in disbelief.
In the draft evaluation process, workouts are nearly as important as games, and Thomas is a workout wonder. He was invited to Mississippi States annual Pro Day and seized much of the attention, even though he did not attend Mississippi State.
N.F.L. scouts, always on the lookout for that unique blend of size and agility, were seduced by a dancing goliath. This month, Thomas was ranked as the 15th-best defensive tackle in the draft. He hopes to pattern himself after the N.F.L. tackles Ted Washington (6-5, 365 pounds) of the Cleveland Browns and Jamal Williams (6-3, 348) of the San Diego Chargers.
He is definitely a topic of conversation right now, said Gil Brandt, former vice president for player personnel for the Dallas Cowboys, who is now an analyst for NFL.com. A lot of people are talking about him.
Thomas represents the hard choice that every team faces at some point on draft day to pick a player with supreme physical ability and a questionable past, or to go with a player who has limited talent but a proven track record.
Thomas would not be such a secret in the draft if he had not buried himself in college. He played at Oklahoma State as a freshman in 2004, but failed out of school before his sophomore season. He spent 2005 trying to regain his academic eligibility and went to Northwest Mississippi in 2006.
People like to tell me, As big as you are, youll always get another chance, Thomas said. But I think Ive used up all my chances.
Thomas acts contrite and gentle, but his behavior can still be erratic. An interview for this story was scheduled for Friday morning in Galveston. Thomas arrived early Saturday, apologizing profusely that he confused the dates.
Thomas was accompanied by Martha Overton, a 54-year-old whom he calls his second mother. Thomas went to school with Overtons daughter, Elizabeth, and steadily ingratiated himself in her family. Now, he appears in all of their Christmas pictures. When he leaves Martha Overtons sight, he gives her two bearhugs.
Walter has a lot of people who care for him very deeply, Martha Overton said.
Thomas needs the support system, especially in the new N.F.L. Commissioner Roger Goodell recently announced a personal-conduct policy that threatens teams for repeatedly signing troublemakers. When Thomas visited the Jets, the Dolphins and the Browns, they grilled him about his arrest, he said.
He might as well have answered in rhyme. Thomas stars in a Galveston hip- hop group called Tre Side, and he recently wrote a rap about football, the mistakes he has made and his desire to correct them.
From the stereo of his first car, a Ford Expedition that he picked up Friday, Thomas blasted one of his raps. He repeats the same line in a husky baritone: Im tired of wasting time.
As a prospect, Thomas is intriguing because of both his baggage and his potential. In the two games he did play last season, his numbers were mind-blowing: 16 tackles, 9 tackles for a loss and 4 sacks.
You absolutely cannot run at him, said Les Miles, the Louisiana State University coach, who recruited Thomas to Oklahoma State. You have to go in another direction.
Thomas cannot expect to be picked until the second day of the draft rounds four through seven but he should immediately become one of the biggest players in the league, and probably the biggest player on his new team.
Thomas has always been the largest guy in the room. In the fifth grade, he was barred from Pop Warner games in Galveston because parents felt he had an unfair advantage. By the time he entered Austin Middle School, he was pushing 300 pounds.
He took up a whole side of the line, said Jim Yarborough, a Galveston County judge whose son played against Austin Middle School.
More than any specific game, Yarborough remembers the first time he shook hands with Thomas. It was like he swallowed my whole hand, Yarborough said.
Growing up, Thomas was somewhat self-conscious about his size, so he befriended the smallest kids in school. They played a game called Cut the Cake, in which they found the biggest building in town and raced each other around it.
Today, Thomas still has many of the same friends, and few of them weigh more than 150 pounds. He could bench-press three of them at a time.
Thats where I got my speed, Thomas said. I had to keep up with all those little guys.
To demonstrate, Thomas took off his size 16 sneakers, slid into a white tank top and did one of his forward flips on the grass next to a beachfront apartment building. He stuck the landing. The expression on his face was part grimace and part grin.
A man watching from his apartment balcony came running. The man wore an Ohio State T-shirt and had many questions. Who is this specimen? Does he play football? Would he be interested in going to college at Ohio State?
But Thomas was already in his Expedition, driving down Seawall Boulevard, blasting music by the rapper Slim Thug, another performer who is not particularly slim.
For a few more days, Thomas can still keep himself a secret.
I am so excited right now because of the Walter Thomas signing, it looks like Peyton took a chance of someone with character concerns. I am calling Steal of the UDFA right here with Mr. Thomas
I hope he makes the team but he has a lot to catch up on in Camp he's only played 2 games the past 2 seasons. He is a monster of a man though.
Damn it.Walter's the one guy I wanted Oakland to get as a UFDA.
Here is the list I've compiled. I had all these guys around midnight last night, save the kicker. I'll leave some comments on a couple players you might not know much about.
QB Tyler Palko, Pittsburgh
RB Pierre Thomas, Illinois
WR Rhema McKnight, Notre Dame
FB Keith Greer, Idaho-- moved around a little bit too much and not surprisingly has a skill set like Dante Rosario (Panthers' 5th round choice).
OL Peter Dyakowski, LSU
OL Jake Kuresa, Brigham Young
DE Jon Hamm, Clark-- massively raw physical specimen who is more of a LE, not a RE. Could play DT but coaches may deem him too tall. Formerly of Southern Illinois.
DT Walter Thomas, Northwest Mississippi CC
LB Wade Koehl, Houston-- outstanding measurables and a finalist for the Wuerffel Award. Good blitzer and a classic WLB.
DB Joe Porter, Rutgers-- impressive size and speed combination. Played corner, but will probably be moved to free safety to make use of his size and mask his tight hips.
K Brett Bergstrom, Eastern Washington-- only got to kick one year at that level but did a nice job.
LS Patrick Macdonald, Canada
ATH Michael Haddix, Siena (basketball--unconfirmed)-- never played football and is 6'6" 255. Obviously projects to tight end.
On another forum Walter's character issues were discussed in depth.
If you check his myspace he admits to smoking mary-j, and hangs around with thugs it seems. He is going to have a hard time readjusting.
Immensely talented just so much baggage.
Wow. Congrats to the Saints for landing Palko AND Thomas....Palko has an outstanding work ethic and he does what is asked of him, i loved watching him at Pitt...and thomas, man...if he stays in line, he could be a nightmare..awesome for you guys.
So far, I really like our UDFA class. Where'd you find all those signings, WeatherMike?
Some guys that the Saints couldn't agree with, whether it be lack of interest on the player's end or the Saints', include Gabe Hall, Larry Birdine, Chris Leak, Jared Zabransky, and Eric Fowler. Hall is being made a TE, Birdine is Jammal Brown's cousin, and Fowler is a record-setting receiver from Grand Valley State.

Am I covered by FMLA?
Jun 1, 2001
I am an HIV+ driver for a local trucking comapny who employs 15 - 20 employees and engages in interstate commerce. This is an individually owned and operated franchise of a larger company. I am required to attend safety seminars given by the parent company. The (local) owner reports to, and answers to the parent company. Could this be considered a "joint employer" under the FMLA? My employer has told me I can not take time under FMLA because he is not covered by it due having less than 50 employees. Your help is greatly appreciated!
Response from Ms. Franzoi
I would need more information about the employer. If the company you work for is a subsidiary or a division of a larger company and that company has 50 or more employees who work at least 20 work weeks, your company would be subject to FMLA. However, if your company is merely a franchise that employs fewer than 50 employees, it would not.

Hi I am traveling to Thailand in March, I will be in Chiang mai for a week at the Elephant Nature Park. Any suggestions to go after that. I will stay in Chiang Mai for a few days and then I would like to go to the beaches, I have been reading that Phi Phi is beautiful and Ko Samet, also should I take the train from Chiang Mai to the beach areas or fly? Thanks for your help!

Fendi, if I understood right you plan to visit beaches in March?
If so, you can select either Phi-Phi or Koh Samet. In the summer weather condition on Phi-Phi is not so good.
About transportation.
You can go from Chiang Mai to Bangkok using bus, train or airplane. Airplane is more expensive, but faster.
From Bangkok to Phi-Phi:
- go to Phuket (bus, airplane) or
- go to Krabi (bus, airplane)
then go to Phi-Phi using boat.
To reach Koh Samet:
- go to Rayong (direct bus from Bungkok or via Pattaya)
- ferry Rayong - Koh Samet.
Good luck!

In March the weather on both sides is still ok -- the weather on the Phi Phi side doesn't start really deteriorating till April/May.
Transport-wise, it depends on how much time you have, as with the low cost carriers the airfares are not all that much more expensive than the train/bus.

If you can set a date now for when you want to fly from Chiang Mai have a look at www.airasia.com - we used them in Thailand and Cambodia and they were great. At the moment they have tickets for as little as 399 baht + taxes all over Thailand... you are looking at about 1000 baht for a ticket from Chiang Mai to the Islands area!

can anyone give me a good suggestion for how to get from ko samui to than sadet on ko phangan? is it worth it to bring a suitcase (with rollers), or is that a big hassle in transit with longtail boats?
is it pretty easy during the day to get transport back to ko samui airport from the northeast side of ko phangan?
thanks for any tips!

Ike, I think better option for you is use regular ferry.
You can see schedule:
So, for day trip you can start from Samui at 09:00 and return back with 16:00 Songserm Express.

Sofia, there is no direct buses between Singapore and Pattaya.
You need to take bus from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, than change bus to Bangkok (or possible to Butterworth, then to Bangkok). And at last take bus to Pattaya from Ekkamai bus station in Bangkok.
By the way, do you know that Kuala Lumpur - Bangkok is a 21-hours journey? Are you ready for this? :)
I suggest to take train because it is more comfortable and not so expensive.
Schedules, information:

Thanks for your suggestion, if i take by train how many hours to pattaya from kl, and how to book train ticket is it via internet?
#10 Posted: 20/6/2007 - 14:53
[Profile private] [Messaging not enabled.]
Sofia, there are no direct train between KL and Pattaya too :)
First, you need to take train from Singapore to KL, than change train to Butterworth, then again change thrain to Bangkok.
You will arrive from Butterworth to Bangkok. Then go to Ekkamai bus station and take bus to Pattaya (information above).
Singapore - KL ~ 7h 30min
KL - Butterworth ~ 9h
Butterworth - Bangkok ~ 22h
Bangkok - Pattaya (by bus) ~ 2h 30min
See booking information and schedule:
According schedule, if you start from Singapore at 13:00, change train in KL at 21:00, in Butterworth (06:05 - 13:15), then you will arrive to Bangkok at 10:50. Total time is ~ 46h Plus 2h to Pattaya :)
By the way, train ticket Butterworth-Bangkok costs ~1200 thai bahts ($37). But fly from KL to Bangkok on AirAsia (see http://www.airasia.com) will cost you 140.99 malaysian ringgits ($41). Direct AirAsia fly from Singapore to Bangkok (~3h) will cost 77.99 SGD ($51). So thing about time, when make decision :)
You can book AirAsia at their web site (link above).
Ah! There is direct bus to Pattaya from Bangkok international airport :)

TiVo to buy shopping tracker TRA
updated 02:35 pm EDT, Tue July 17, 2012
Service matches television viewing with shopping habits
TiVo will reportedly announce that it has acquired research company TRA. This according to The New York Times, which puts the price of the acquisition at $20 million. The deal will likely give TiVo access to much more granular information on the shopping patterns of its customers, which would enable the company to target television ads on an individual basis.
TRA compares information from 1.5 million set-top cable boxes against anonymized information taken from shopper loyalty cards, as well as information such as car registrations. By analyzing the data, the company is able to determine down to the individual household which ads are having the most impact, which shows are advertising most efficiently, and which channels best reach target audiences.
TiVo will now look to expand TRA's operations extensively, likely rolling out some version of the tracking service across the millions of devices the company has sold. In combination with the company's recently announced plans to bring interactive ads and TiVo-based purchasing to its devices, the TRA acquisition will enable the company to not only target individuals, but to sell directly to those individuals without them needing to go to a retail outlet.

Re: KEM STRIKE or MOAB?iTruity Feb 17, 2014 5:15 AM (in response to GREEN_assassin3)
I will say K.E.M Strike is easiest to get and it too harder to get a MOAB
Re: KEM STRIKE or MOAB?GREEN_assassin3 Feb 17, 2014 4:01 PM (in response to iTruity)
Yeah but with these stupid spawns it almost seems like KEM STRIKE'S are harder except MW3 you had portable radars and enemy's wouldn't spawn feet away from you like in ghosts but thanks for the feedback.
Re: KEM STRIKE or MOAB?brentcers37 Feb 18, 2014 12:30 AM (in response to GREEN_assassin3)
KEMs are ridiculously easy to get unless you get spawnkilled or soundwhored by a nub using Dead Silence.
Re: KEM STRIKE or MOAB?Schoat333 Feb 18, 2014 8:16 AM (in response to brentcers37)
LOL huh? How does using dead silence and sound whoring = nub? When I first started playing COD, I never had a headset, nor knew that it was possible to sound whore.
To the OP I believe the Moab is a little harder to get. Especially considering you can get the KE.M on strikezone for just completing a field order.
Re: KEM STRIKE or MOAB?GREEN_assassin3 Feb 18, 2014 8:50 AM (in response to Schoat333)
The Strike zone care package KEM STRIKE def. Doesn't count that is the cheapest way for anyone to say they have gotten a KEM STRIKE. By noob I think he means sitting in a corner soundwhoring which is stupidly pathetic and a cowardly way to play. Most ppl I see doing that go 5-10 for the whole match which I would personally find boring.
Re: KEM STRIKE or MOAB?brentcers37 Feb 19, 2014 6:05 AM (in response to Schoat333)
I'm not saying soundwhoring is a bad thing. Actually it's good because it means people are trying to learn something and gain skill. It's Dead Silence that ruins it all because it's ridiculously OP.
Re: KEM STRIKE or MOAB?GREEN_assassin3 Feb 18, 2014 8:44 AM (in response to brentcers37)
That's compete truth right there on a 20 kill streak and I walk through the gas station from C dom on octane just to have some guy sitting there with an LMG aimed down sight next to the wire truck looking right at where I'm coming from. I watched the kill cam and even I could hear me coming a mile away through the kill cam... not right
Re: KEM STRIKE or MOAB?W_E_A_P_0_N_11 Feb 19, 2014 6:07 AM (in response to GREEN_assassin3)
i would say that in ghosts it is easier to get
I had 17 in mw3
and i have 87 KEM's in ghosts..
im sure ive gotten better which could contribute, but mw3 was a faster paced game. ghost is way slower

Vietnam during Tet

Greetings all, this is my cherry-popping travelfish post!
I am travelling to Thailand in late January/February next year. After some time in Thailand and a stop in Siem Reap to see Angkor, I was hoping to see a little bit of Northern Vietnam. Due to logistics and the need to fit in with others, I can only visit Vietnam towards the end of my trip- that is from about 16th February, which I understand is the time of the Tet festival.
I had planned to spend about 9 days in Vietnam, comprised of 3 days Hanoi, 3 days Halong bay and 3 days either Sapa or Hoi An (in which case I'd obviously fly to Danang). But now I am having second thoughts as to whether its worth doing Vietnam at this time since I want to squeeze so much in. I don't really want to spend the entire 9 days in Hanoi.
Was hoping someone with a little more experience could enlighten me as to how difficult it is to do this sort of trip at this time of year. I really want to see Vietnam but as a first time traveller in the area I'm unsure of just how hard it is to do things during Tet.
Thanks in advance for your replies!

In 2007, Tet will be on February 18.
VietNam essentially goes dead for about three days - although minimal services are maintained by the hotels for guests. Often the celebrations last longer. They are dedicated vacationers.
This will eat into quite a bit of your vacation time in VN.
The other drag is that half the population of the south travels north and half the north travels south which completely jams the transportation system and fills all the lower priced hotels with the Tet itinerants.
If the choice was mine, I would opt for Thailand - assuming that todays coup doesn't screw the country up big time.
