"If they tell me to go to quarterback, I'll compete like hell for the position," said Billy Flutie. "I came in as a quarterback. My heart is still there." The irony is inescapable. Maybe Billy Flutie was never meant to be Boston College's quarterback. Not that he wasn't wishing.
"If they tell me to go to quarterback, I'll compete like hell for the position. I came in as a quarterback. My heart is still there." -- Billy Flutie
The irony is inescapable. Maybe Billy Flutie was never meant to be Boston College's quarterback.
Not that he wasn't wishing. The happiest day of his life was when BC offered him a scholarship. The worst day of his life was when he broke his ankle, after watching a BC scrimmage. This happened just before Flutie's senior year at Natick High. He was tossing a football around with Dave Taylor, a teammate. It couldn't have been more innocent.
Except for this one time when he reached up for the ball, and not all that far, yet the landing brought significant pain. "I landed wrong," he says.
He missed the first eight games of his senior year at Natick. "I didn't like seeing my team out there without me. It was a very tough time." Fluties don't do sidelines. They play.
He returned against Milton and his first pass was an 80-yard touchdown bomb. In the Super Bowl, Flutie used his foot to kick a pair of field goals in an 8-3 win over Foxboro. BC redshirted him that first year, 2006, although he made the traveling team as a backup punter and holder.
Tom O'Brien was the coach. Flutie, a good athlete (he'd also starred in baseball and basketball at Natick), had moved to wide receiver. With Matt Ryan, the Eagles were in good hands at the QB spot, although Flutie continued to take reps with the third unit.
After the 2006 season, O'Brien bolted for North Carolina State. "From there things changed," says Flutie.
Jeff Jagodzinski took over. He brought in his own recruits, his own offense. "I didn't know where they wanted me," says Flutie. His best bet to get on the field was at wideout. As a backup.
After last season, Jagodzinski made an abrupt exit, returning to the NFL.
This past week, there was another key departure. Dominique Davis, the only quarterback with a modicum of experience, said he was leaving BC after being suspended for academic reasons.
"Always something around here," says Flutie. "He was a friend of mine. I'm going to miss him a lot. But right now we need a quarterback."
Probably more so than any Division I team in the country. New coach Frank Spaziani has this to work with: two redshirts, a QB who hasn't taken a snap in two years and a true freshman destined to be redshirted, unless he turns out to be the next Joe Montana.
Oh, one more. Billy Flutie. Why not, says Spaziani. The more the merrier, and there hasn't been a ton of merry around BC football lately.
Page 2 of 2 - "Before Davis left, I was just taking a few snaps," says Flutie. "They wanted me as an emergency guy, in case something happens." Well, something did happen. The coaching staff is trying to sort things out, without Davis.
"I haven't talked to the coaches yet," says Flutie. "I'm not sure where they want me. I'm still taking my position at wideout."
He had a solid spring game, with seven catches. Things could change, depending on how the other quarterbacks look.
Davis was a mobile quarterback, and would take off with the ball. "He can run," says Flutie. "He was a Division I basketball prospect. A lot of people don't know that."
He's no Davis afoot, but Flutie says the ankle is no longer a problem. "I think I throw pretty well on the run." Like in the Maryland game, when BC faked a field goal. Flutie took the snap, rolled right and feathered a touchdown pass to his roommate, Jordon McMichael. BC's win over the Terrapins sent the Eagles to the ACC championship game.
For Flutie, that game resonated on many levels. Yes, it was his one and only collegiate TD toss, with his parents in the stands. But also keeping tabs was his uncle, Doug, in the ABC studio working as an analyst.
"I talked to him in the studio after that," says Billy. "It was also Doug's son's birthday that day. I was all smiles that night."
Just like the night he found out Boston College wanted him as a scholarship player. "I was fired up, when I got the offer. My whole family was almost in tears when I told them."
The raw Davis took over last season after an injury ended senior starter Chris Crane's season. Flutie was the backup for the ACC title game and the Music City Bowl.
Now he's got a chance to be the starter. It may be a slim chance, or it may improve incrementally once practice starts. It's a crazy situation at BC. New coach. New quarterback. The former has a name, the latter doesn't. Yet.
Billy Flutie was never intimidated about one day playing quarterback for Boston College just over 20 years after his iconic uncle's career. He was proud of the Flutie name, not burdened by it. He thought he had a shot to play quarterback. Then it was gone. This may be another chance. As he put it, "We're going to start the season with somebody back there."
And that's all anybody knows right now.

Great Hotel and Staff
ByPaul J125
16 noviembre 2015
Hotel was beautiful! Staff was awesome! Will definitely stay again!!!
Great value, accommodating staff.
14 noviembre 2015
I stayed for a couple of week and every time I crossed path with a staff member, be it maintenance, house keeping, front dest, or executive staff they always greeted me and asked how I was doing etc. This was a warm gesture that ensured I could honestly approach them with something if I had any issue. The last 24 hours of my stay there was an interesting noise coming from somewhere. The staff investigated it and they were able to remedy the situation. Overall the Hotel is top notch. They are accommodating, inviting, and provide great service. The rooms are great and the value is spectacular given the services that are provided. Definitely the only place to stay in Palmdale.

HIGHLY recommend the Staybridge Hotel in Palmdale CA. The Staff - kitchen/desk/Manager/Cleaning Crew/Maintenance Crew - ALL wonderful. A smile from the time I would leave in the morning and a smile when I arrived back from work.
~ Compassionate staff, professional service, memorable stay ~

You wake up in the world, what is being called world between life and death. It is up to the people themselves to fight for survival. But this world isn't empty, it is magical world and it is owned by someone who is being called death. Apparently he isn't god of this world and can only manipulate everything. So you escape from him but at the same time you go through your dark past, so you would understand, why and how did he end up there.

It was awesome! Sure there was some texture errors (very very minor and not a big deal), but it was good.
Can't wait for Chp. 2!

WealthyYachtOwner Wealthy Yacht Owner YKTTW Discussion
|Wealthy Yacht Owner
What better way to show an extravagent lifestyle than by owning a boat bigger than most houses?Better Name Up For Grabs
Financial experts often say that buying a boat is one of the worst wastes of money there is. Besides the cost of the boat itself, they are expensive to fuel (marine engines are gas hogs), expensive to insure, expensive to maintain, and you also have to take things like dock fees and boating accessories into account. Combine these costs with the fact that most boat owners only use it a few times per year (usually during the summer months) and it's easy to conclude that, with the exception of serious boating enthusiasts, most boat owners are not getting their money's worth. So how do you instantly establish that a character is filthy rich? Show them aboard a luxury yacht that's easily worth several million dollars.
- One scene in The Dark Knight shows Bruce Wayne aboard a yacht along with several gorgeous, bikini-clad women.
- In Hot Tub Time Machine Lou exploits his knowlege of the future to become a billionaire. At the end of the film he is seen aboard a huge yacht named "Violator."
- Sebastian Shaw in X-Men: First Class has a yacht that he keeps in Miami harbor.
- James Bond:
- In Casino Royale Le Chiffre is first seen playing poker aboard a yacht.
- In Skyfall Bond is taken to the Big Bad's hideout aboard a sailing yacht.
- Parodied in Secondhand Lions. At the end Walter and the Shiek's grandson are laughing at the large yacht that one salesman sold Hub and Garth, and is floating on their tiny pond.
Sheik's Grandson: I see they spent my grandfather's money wisely.
- On Some Like It Hot, Joe seduces Sugar Kane by pretending to be a millionaire with a yacht anchored offshore. Fortunately, Osborne, a real millionaire, is in love with Daphne (really Joe's friend Jerry Disguised in Drag), so while he takes Daphne for a night on the town, Joe sneaks Sugar into Osborne's yacht and pretends it's his.
- In Caddyshack, Judge Smails is christening his new yacht, when Al Czervik (Rodney Dangerfield) shows up in his much larger boat. He then shoves his driver out of the way, put its engines into high gear, and tries to park near Smails' party, causing much damage (and Hilarity) in the process.
Al: Hey, Smails! My dinghy's bigger than your whole boat!
- Tony Stark has a yacht in the Iron Man movies.
- First scene in the movie Superman Returns is Lex Luthor swindling an old woman out of her fortune, and among the many things he obtained with it there is a huge yacht-complete with helipad, piano, top-of-the-line electronics, enough room to work on a plan that could destroy the American continent without feeling constricted...
- Since Charles Stross' The Jennifer Morgue is a love-letter to James Bond, this was bound to show up somewhere. Ellis Billington takes it Up to Eleven with the Mabuse, a "yacht" which is actually a demilitarized former Russian Navy Krivak III-class missile frigate.
- In P. G. Wodehouse's Thank You, Jeeves, J. Washburn Stoker, who recently amassed a huge fortune, has what Bertie refers to as a "whacking great yacht". It later becomes a plot point when Bertie gets kidnapped onto the yacht and has to escape.
- Jimmy Wong, a minor character in the Castle episode "Sucker Punch", claims in his infomercial that he came to America on a boat, and now "I own a boat!" The second one may be true, but he's really from Danville, California and affects a Chinese accent to attract customers.
- In one episode of 30 Rock, Tracy invites everyone to his yacht for a party. Only it turns out the yacht is not his, and everyone is arrested for trespassing.
- Spoofed with Bobby from Cougar Town. He owns a modest houseboat... and little else. He can't even afford to keep it in the marina, so he just leaves it in a parking lot and lives inside. Eventually the others collect enough money to get the boat to dock, but the moment it hits the water it sinks.
- In The Pretender episode "Collateral Damage", Lenny Duc claims in his infomercial that he came to America on a tiny boat, "and now I own big boat!" We never actually get to see the big boat, and it may be as fictional as the tiny boat (Lenny later admits he actually came to America in an airplane).
- Despite focusing on a low-income family, Showtime's Shameless has featured several yachts: Jasmine's sugar daddy held a yacht party, and Steve's father-in-law - a Brazilian drug lord - also owns a yacht.
- Comedy group The Lonely Island, in which the members of the group are partying aboard a yacht with rapper T-Pain.
- Quite common in Glam Rap music videos, in which the rapper will be seen partying aboard a yacht to show how rich and successful he has become.
- Rogue Trader characters are defined by their enormous fortunes and equally enormous, super-opulent ships.
- Near the beginning of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City the player attends a yacht party attended by Vice City's rich and famous.
- Lili from Tekken, heir and daughter to the owner of Rochefort Enterprises, has an enormous yacht. In Street Fighter X Tekken she argues with her teammate Asuka why they don't just use it to get to the South Pole (where the game's central MacGuffin is located), and Asuka replies 'That would be like painting an massive target on our backs'.
- In Jackfilms' parody of the ShamWow informercials, Lance Bass demonstrated the many different things you could wipe with your ShamWow - "Wipe your car, wipe your boat, wipe your RV, wipe your other boat..."
- Duchess de la Roche, the wealthy robot Bender dates in the Futurama episode "A Flight to Remember". She doesn't just own a yacht, she is a yacht.
- In an early episode of Family Guy Peter wins a boat - which he trades in for a Mystery Box.
A boat's a boat, but a Mystery Box could be anything - it could even be a boat! And you know how much I've wanted one of those.
- The Simpsons:
- Homer & Marge go to a seminar on money management, presented by a man who (claims he) got a luxury yacht real cheap because it smells like cat pee.
- In another episode while Homer is house-sitting for Mr. Burns he throws a big party for his friends on Burns' yacht. They get attacked by Ruthless Modern Pirates.

Soilent Green sound exactly like what you would expect a band to sound like which has been through the troubles they have over their two-decade existence. Well documented troubles that have included two debilitating van accidents, the murder/suicide of an ex-member and death by Hurricane Katrina of another resulting in said band sounding angry, pissed off and very impatient. Not to say Soilent Green have ever been a band you'd have a picnic listening to but "Inevitable Collapse In The Presence Of Conviction" is heavy, very heavy, rather akin to listening to the band's collective anger management sessions.
In the creation of their 5th album, SG blend fast periods of grind; riffs and tempos of a pure Doom nature; and a healthy dollop of Southern 'NOLA' feel, just as ever before really. Opener "Mental Acupuncture" sets the scene for the remaining 41 minutes as riff after riff is crammed in each piece at such a pace that little to none of them are ever given the time to fulfill their potential, which is a pity as interspersed among the chaos are some truly great riffs, both in the hard and slow categories 'Green inhabit. "For Lack Of Perfect Words" and "When All Roads Lead To Rome" typify such an approach, with a greater emphasis on slower tempos for periods of the song before you sense the band get bored of maintaining the same tempo for more than 5 seconds and hit the accelerator, bursting into classic Nasum and Napalm Death levels of grind intensity. With a heavy and audible bass sound weighing down the sound, Soilent Green achieve a brutality similar to the likes of Dying Fetus when they wish, just listen to "Antioxidant", though with greater groove and a mind-piercing guitar tone references to fellow 'NOLA' dwellers Down and Eyehategod are expected and fit as commendable pinpoints to the SG racket. Vocalist Ben Falgoust must also be recognised for his performance in ripping up his throat for a performance like this, sounding incredibly unmerciful in his straight ahead approach to Metal growling and shrieking, all in the name of dissolution with their external circumstances and the bad luck to have plagued the band thus far.
Apart from the odd moment of a pleasant country-sounding banjo to soothe the tinnitus and headache, "Inevitable..." never lets up the intensity. Commendable indeed but a greater development of key riffs within some songs, notably one towards the end of "Mental Acupuncture", would go a long way to making the songs more hummable and longer lasting in the memory without skimping on the heaviness of the record. Despite that, Soilent Green have clearly found their style and they intend to stick with it, as to blend a number of disparate sub-genres as they do, smoothly, is no easy business.

Winners and losers: Washington comes alive
Tom Dienhart
Rivals.com College Football Senior Writer
One week, Washington ends the nation's longest losing streak. The next week, the Huskies shock the world by knocking off No. 3 USC, 16-13.
Steve Sarkisian can build a program. And there is a lot of construction to do at a school that hasn't been to the postseason since a trip to the 2002 Sun Bowl.
The win is even sweeter for Sarkisian, who took the Washington job after serving on the USC staff from 2005-08, with the last two as offensive coordinator.
The Huskies' Erik Folk booted a 22-yard field goal with three seconds left to help UW secure the improbable triumph. It is the second year in a row USC has lost its Pac-10 opener a week after beating Ohio State.
Now, the question can be asked without fear: Has USC underachieved under Pete Carroll ?
Think about it. Since the Trojans lost the BCS title game to Texas after the 2005 season, USC has failed to get back to the championship game despite arguably having the most talent of any school in the nation.
In 2006, USC lost at Oregon State (33-31) and at UCLA (13-9).
In 2007, USC got dumped at home by 41-point underdog Stanford (24-23) in arguably the biggest upset in college football history.
In 2008, USC was clipped at Oregon State (27-21).
Now, this: a humiliating loss to a Washington team that entered the season with a 14-game losing streak that was the longest in the nation.
Make no mistake about it: This is a one-dimensional USC offense that is all-run and no pass. Redshirt freshman quarterback Aaron Corp started for an injured Matt Barkley, who missed the game with a bruised shoulder.
Corp completed just 13 of 22 passes for 110 yards with no touchdowns and an interception. USC also lost two fumbles and was 0-for-10 on third-down conversions. Unless USC's passers improve, the Trojans might be in peril of not winning at least a share of the Pac-10 title for the first time since 2001, Carroll's first season. USC still has games at Cal, at Notre Dame and at Oregon.
Conversely, Washington is rolling behind quarterback Jake Locker, who completed 21 of 35 passes for 237 yards. The victory over the Trojans is Washington's second in a row (it opened with a 31-23 home loss to LSU but rebounded to beat Idaho, 42-23, last Saturday) and has the Huskies thinking about being a Pac-10 contender. Washington plays at Stanford next Saturday before traveling to Notre Dame.
Oregon: Credit Chip Kelly for keeping his team together after the Ducks debuted with a thud in a 19-8 loss at Boise State. Oregon rebounded to squeak out a 38-36 win over Purdue last week and dumped Utah today, ending the Utes' national-best 16-game winning streak. Now, Oregon has a big showdown vs. Cal next Saturday.
Virginia Tech: Quarterback Tyrod Taylor looked awful all day vs. Nebraska. He had minus 14 yards rushing and completed just 12 of 27 passes for 193 yards with one touchdown. But he hit Danny Coale for an 80-yard gain to the Nebraska 3-yard line with less than two minutes to go and followed with a touchdown strike to Dyrell Roberts with less than 30 seconds remaining to lead Tech to a 16-15 win over Nebraska and keep the Hokies' faint national title hopes alive.
The Mighty MAC: First, Toledo whips Colorado. Then, Central Michigan dumps Michigan State. This week, Northern Illinois tops Purdue. This is further proof of what we always knew: The top-tier MAC teams are as good - or better - than the middle of the pack and lower-level Big Ten teams.
Colorado: Much-maligned Dan Hawkins earned a reprieve for at least one week by posting a win over Wyoming. Trips to West Virginia and Texas are next, followed by a visit from Kansas.
Landry Jones: The Oklahoma quarterback is doing his best impression of injured Sam Bradford. Jones completed 25 of 37 passes for 336 yards with six touchdown passes (an FBS freshman record) in a 45-0 win over Tulsa. OU is off next week before going to Miami. The Sooners are still in the national title hunt.
Charlie Weis: Some feel this 33-30 win over Michigan State was the biggest of his tenure. No doubt, it quells some of the pain of last week's defeat at Michigan. But the temperature of Weis' fanny only has gone from "inferno" to "blazing hot."
Jahvid Best: The Cal star is the nation's top running back. Best may be the top player in America. His latest gem: 132 yards and five TDs in a 35-21 win at Minnesota.
Georgia QB Joe Cox. He tied a school record with five touchdown passes in a 52-41 win at Arkansas, leading the Bulldogs to a second shootout win in two weeks following a wild, 41-37 victory over South Carolina. How did Georgia lose to Oklahoma State ?
TCU/Boise State/Houston: BYU's loss to Florida State and Utah's defeat at Oregon means these are the three non-Big Six schools with the best shot of being a BCS buster.
Florida State. Did the Seminoles really just edge past Jacksonville State last week, 19-9? The Seminoles looked like a national title contender in dismantling BYU, 54-28.
Washington State. You can call the Cougars a lot of things, but you can't call them "losers." At least not on this day, as Wazzu toppled SMU, 30-27, in overtime in what likely will be Washington State's lone win of the season.
Gene Chizik. Yes, he was 5-19 in two years at Iowa State. He is now 3-0 at Auburn.
Big East: Led by Cincinnati's 28-18 win at Oregon State, the Big East posted a 6-2 mark. The losses were tough as Louisville (at Kentucky) and West Virginia (at Auburn) fell. The impressive wins: Pitt 27, Navy 14; UConn 30, Baylor 22; Syracuse 37, Northwestern 34.
Florida: Yes, the Gators beat Tennessee, 23-13, but Florida was supposed to stuff it down Lane Kiffin's mouth and make a massive statement as the nation's best team. It didn't happen. Credit Kiffin's smart play-calling and a strong effort by the Vols defense.
BYU: National title aspirations disappeared. And any BCS bowl hopes ended. The Cougars' ugly 54-28 home loss to Florida State means it's time to start dreaming about the ... Las Vegas Bowl?
Utah: Just like that, the Utes' national-best 16-game winning streak ended in a 31-24 loss at Oregon. Oh, and any dreams Utah had of playing in a BCS bowl also are finished.
Nebraska: It was right there for Bo Pelini, his first signature win as Cornhuskers coach. But the Big Red defense broke down late to allow Virginia Tech to score the game-winning touchdown with less than two minutes to go to escape with a 16-15 home win. It was Nebraska's 21st loss in its last 22 games to top 20 teams.
Purdue: The Boilermakers' rebuilding job under rookie coach Danny Hope took a big step back with a humiliating home loss to Northern Illinois. Will 1-1 Purdue win another game? Maybe not.
Louisville: This 31-27 loss at Kentucky hurts Cardinals coach Steve Kragthorpe, whose team was driving for the winning score in the waning minutes when Louisville quarterback Justin Burke was intercepted. UK has now won three in a row over U of L. Up next is a trip to Utah followed by a visit from Pitt.
Baylor: The Bears got dumped at home by Connecticut, 30-22. That Baylor win at Wake Forest seems like it happened 100 years ago. The Bears are trying to end a bowl-less skein that stretches to 1994.
Big Ten: Purdue got beat by Northern Illinois; Northwestern became Syracuse's first victim; Minnesota got whipped by Cal and Michigan State was tripped up by Notre Dame. The most impressive Big Ten win? Iowa's 27-17 triumph over Arizona.
The ACC: This week's pratfalls: Middle Tennessee 32, Maryland 31, and Southern Miss 37, Virginia 34. Ten of the ACC's 12 schools already have losses, as Miami and North Carolina are the league's lone unbeaten teams. Good thing Virginia Tech survived at home against Nebraska.
Al Groh, Virginia. The Cavaliers blew a 27-10 halftime lead and lost 37-34 at Southern Miss. Virginia is now 0-3. There will be a coaching change in Charlottesville.
1. Miami's March: So far, so good. The Hurricanes are successfully navigating a fearsome foursome of season-opening opponents. Florida State and Georgia Tech have been handled. Next up: a trip to Virginia Tech. There is no time to exhale after that with Oklahoma coming to Miami.
2. Is Penn State Legit? After opening vs. three walkovers (Akron, Syracuse, Temple), the Nittany Lions will unofficially open the season when Iowa comes to State College, Pa.
3. Bear Down, Cal: The Golden Bears roll into Oregon as one of the nation's hottest teams. Win here, and Cal will be sky high with USC coming to Berkeley on Oct. 3. But the Ducks are rolling, too, with dreams of a Pac-10 crown.
4. TCU's Time to Shine: Some feel the Horned Frogs are the most talented non-Big Six team in the nation. Alas, the Horned Frogs' trip to Clemson is their last chance to score an impressive (well, at least a semi-impressive) non-conference victory.
5. Can Ole Miss survive South Carolina? The Rebels' Thursday night trip to Columbia will be a stern test for a program that has dreams of winning the SEC West. Can Ole Miss handle the Gamecocks' suddenly deadly offense? Will Rebel quarterback Jevan Snead navigate a rugged South Carolina defense?

So the Dell Streak has gone to meet its demise. Its transformation to the dark side of technology. To a site called iFixit, where they do anything but "fix" things on a daily basis.
Cut the drama short, and the Dell Streak was dismantled to every last bit. The team at iFixit declared that the Streak truly has a 1GHz Snapdragon, a 5 megapixel camera that "closely resembles" the iPhone 4's, Gorilla Glass, and a 2 GB non-user accessible micro-SD card. On a sort of interesting scale of 1 to 10, 8 is the rating given to the Streak. This meaning that on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the easiest), the Streak is an 8 to dismantle for a 'regular' user.
Check out the carnage at the source link, and don't forget to check out our unboxing of the Streak, and wait for the review!

SILVERSTONE, 4th July 2014 (F1 Plus / Graham Keilloh) - It was a mixed day for the Marussia team in Friday's practice running for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. While Max Chilton had a fairly smooth time of it, across the garage Jules Bianchi's day was hit by powertrain problems.
Chilton ended the day in 21st place in the second practice session while Bianchi ended up 19th.
Afterwards Chilton said that 'We got a lot of running today, which is positive, because we lost time on the other side of the garage. There are still things we know we can improve on, so we'll be making maximum use of the data we gathered to try to understand how we can gain more lap time.'
Bianchi by contrast was frustrated: 'It has not been a very smooth start to our weekend for me' he said, 'with problems this morning and this afternoon.'
The Frenchman nevertheless remained fairly upbeat at what was achieved in among the problems: 'Despite the issues we have experienced, and the resulting loss of track time, I am very pleased that we did end the day by making it out at the end of the FP2 session and with very little set-up work we seem to have got to a good starting place with the car.
'There is a lot that we need to do to improve for the rest of the weekend, but we have some good data from Max's track time. We will have a busy FP3 tomorrow to prepare for qualifying but also confirming a set-up direction. The track has been quite windy today and this has unsettled many of the cars, plus we need to understand how the tyres are working here. We will keep pushing.'
Marussia's Team Principal John Booth also reflected the frustrations of a compromised programme today: 'A very frustrating day in terms of quite a few niggling reliability issues, particularly with Jules' he said.
'However the engineers and mechanics worked calmly to maximise the amount of track time possible. Clearly we have missed quite a big part of our programme today, which was not part of the plan! Looking forward to tomorrow it seems that the weather might also hamper our programme, so the limited information we have gathered today will require much more scrutiny tonight. In the main, even with our limited running, our pace looks much where we expected but with the potential for us to gain some improvement overnight.'
Chilton was also gladdened to be performing at home in Britain: 'It's great to be back here in front of my home crowd, who have been incredibly supportive as usual' he said.
'It's only Friday so I know the atmosphere is only going to get better over the next two days and that's a great boost for myself and the team.'

Re: Exploring the Uncharted Territories: A Farscape Viewing Experience
Wow. I'm so jealous of you right now.........getting to experience one of the best trilogies of Sci-Fi aired. Like
, I consider that 3 parter to be quintessential Farscape and some of the best stuff we ever got from that series. What sets this trilogy apart from the other really fantastic ones you'll get two at the end of Season 2 and Season 3 is how balanced the romance, humor, tragedy, action, mystery and everything else that series of episodes does so well. It really has it all and even though I have to give the nod to the 3 parters that ends Season 2 over this one, it's still awesome material that really takes the show to the next level.
A couple of things from memory about the episodes that stuck out to me:
- The sex appeal throughout the trilogy was up there
- Critchon on the shuttle with that "slave" chick and Braka was fantastic.
- The D'argo line about having great sex with Chianna line was great
- The sweetness and tearjerker part with John's possible child was great
- The Aeryn/John stuff was golden.
Man, I really, really wish I was rewatching these with you. You are heading into some seriously awesome stuff!
Faced with the choice between changing one's mind and proving there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof.

Im just worried about being banned, that is all.
Sorry if this may seem abit stupid but I havent been as up to date in a while...

You will end up banned untill LT is out. No FW is safe just revert to your old FW and you will be fine and play only originals.
You would end up banned if your not flagged for a ban yet. be smart.

It's official: RG3 benched
RGIII: It is coach's decision
It's official: Robert Griffin III will be a spectator Sunday in Atlanta.
The face of the franchise, the star quarterback who only a year ago directed the Redskins to a 10-6 record and the team's first NFC East title in 13 years, has been relegated to third string duty.
Kirk Cousins will start against the Falcons and will be backed up by Rex Grossman, Coach Mike Shanahan confirmed moments ago. Griffin, meantime, is expected to inactive for the remainder of the season.
Shanahan said he's simply trying to protect Griffin, who has been exposed to too many punishing hits in recent weeks. Indeed, 24 sacks in five games are way too many.

Respond to Review of Hansa's Restaurant
by aghiaanna
Review: It may be because we recently came back from Ahmedabad in India where the vegetarian curry's were so very tasty with different flavours that my partner and I were rather disappointed with the food at Hansa's. First of all let me say say that everything we ate here was fresh and edible and we loved the fact that there was no meat anywhere on the menu. The waitress was pleasant and the restaurant itself was clean if a little dated. However, the food was nothing special and the portion sizes were much smaller than any of the Indian restaurant's we have been to recently. Maybe we ordered the wrong dishes on the night but we expected different tastes and what we got were dishes that all were much of a muchness the starters in particular.

He is an excellent doctor. He is great.
ENT Dr. Christopher Chang in Warrenton VA, Worse Doctor in the world. I went there after an emergency visit to the Fauquier Hospital because my blood vessel in my nose broke and my blood was running out of my nose like a facet. I sat in the waiting room for over an hour with no one else there. When he finished eating his lunch he slams the door open to the back room and calls my name as he butchers it very nastily takes me to the back and try's to pump my hand purple with the blood pressure pump; then he takes me to another room and before I even sit down he said to me there is nothing I can do for you, go some where else. I said what are you talking about you havenât even seen me or my x-rays. The emergency doctor told me I should get to a ENT. He said the emergency doctor doesnât know anything. I looked at your x-rays already. Nothing I can do for you. What a horrible doctor very rude very nasty unkind and very unprofessional. Come to find out he is in a network called Fauquier network doctors and they had written in my charts not to see me. What a wicked group of doctors.
Dr. Chang is direct and too the point and highly competent. He won't give you a hug at the end of the visit nor be your best friend, but he'll certainly get you fixed. At least that's what he did with me and that's all I ask for in a doctor.
Doctor Chang came in very quickly after I filled out my paperwork. Doctor Chang was referred to me as a second opinion docotor and came highly recommended by two general praticioners. Doctor Chang was very professional, reviewed my medical history, asked questions and explained his medical assessment in terms I could understand. He order further testing and referred me to another docotor for "patch testing". The visit helped ease my mind and I enjoyed his bedside manner. Smart Doctor and Cares about his patients.
I would strongly recommend getting another opinion from a good ENT rather than just going with Dr. Chang. My experience with him was not so good and I would not go back and if I had it to do over, I would have someone else do my surgery. His bedside manner is terrible, he can be rude and pushy. He was not forthcoming in answering my questions and gave flippant answers to some things I asked. He has a lot of attitude. There are times when he can be a nice person but with all the problems I'm now having since the surgery, I wish I had found another doctor as I feel that I was not necessarily given the best care.
I took my 12-year-old daughter, who had loud snoring issues and nasal difficulties, to a different ENT, who after a long office wait, quickly sent us home saying there was nothing she could do for her. My daughter's voice teacher sent us to Dr. Chang, who was a 180 degree difference from the previous doctor. He was caring and incredibly thorough. He didn't rush to judgement. After careful analysis, he concluded that my daughter had adenoids the size of golf balls, and that they should be removed! He was an amazing surgeon, and she recovered quickly. We couldn't be happier with every experience we have had with Dr. Chang. He was especially sensitive to my daughter's age, explaining everything to her and keeping her feelings in mind. I highly recommend Dr. Chang. Had we stuck with the opinion of the original ENT in Winchester, she would still be suffering!
Every point of contact I had with Dr. Chang and his office was outstanding. I never waited for anything either on the phone or in his office. He was thorough , professional and my outcome from surgery on a Zenkar's Diverticulum was perfect. Followup after the procedure was complete. I traveled from LA. to Va. for the procedure and am confident I made the best choice available anywhere.
Dr. Chang is the finest physician we've ever known. Highly professional, knowledgeable, likable, and caring. Highest possible rating. Has successfully treated our kids using progressive and highly effective Sub-Lingual Immunotherapy. Just removed daughter's enlarged tonsils. Great work. Thank you, Dr. Chang, you are the best!
I met with Dr. Chang in May of 2011, after battling with a relentless, chronic cough for 15 years. Initially, I would have 1-2 week periods of coughing that would occur 2-4 times per year without any explanation or effective treatment. As the years went by, the cough occurred more frequently and lasted for longer periods of time. While the cough was worse at night, at times it was so severe that it induced choking, vomiting and occasionally a sprained rib or abdominal muscle!! Prior to meeting Dr. Chang, I had been to various doctors, specialists and even an acupuncturist throughout the state of North Carolina, where I reside!! I had gone to some of the most renowned hospitals/clinics including Duke, Chapel Hill, NC Digestive Healthcare, Rex, WakeMed, Raleigh Internal Medicine (just to name a few) and had every type of test imaginable including chest x-rays, colonoscopies, endoscopies, manometries, ENT scans, allergy and pulmonary tests, all to no avail. I had been prescribed everything from A-ZAntibiotics to Zantac including nasal sprays, steroids, antihistamines, cough syrups and psychotropic medications. Some of the medications were more effective (tussionex cough syrup) than others insofar as temporarily alleviating symptoms but NONE of the medications eradicated the cough completely or addressed the causal factor, which deeply concerned me. I had gotten to the point where there were only 2-4 weeks in a given year that I was cough free!! In May of 2011, I had been coughing EVERY day for the prior six (6) months!! I cannot tell you the effects this cough had on me in recent years. While I am a naturally optimistic, positive and outgoing individual, as a result of the cough and no apparent resolution, I had become overwhelmed, depressed and pretty much house-bound (with the exception of required events) at the age of 49 years old. I had gotten to a point whereby I had pretty much given up on a solution and grown weary of the constant inquiries and concerns that were conveyed by family, friends and strangers.not to mention the sleepless nights! My husband, children and friends would often look upon me with dismay, as I was overcome by a coughing spell. Strangers seemed to distance themselves from me making the assumption that whatever I had most definitely was contagious, which embarrassed me tremendously!!After 15 years of coughing, seeing numerous physicians and taking various medications without any sustained results, along came Dr. Chang!! I thank God for him!! I came across Dr. Changs information while desperately searching for a diagnosis and/or treatment options for a chronic cough. The information on his website described exactly what I had been experiencing and I was anxious to make contact with him. I travelled from NC to VA for a late afternoon appointment. Unfortunately, due to traffic and construction in the DC area, I missed my appointment. Dr. Chang graciously made arrangements for us to stay in a local Warrenton, VA hotel and meet him the next morning, PRIOR to his regular office hours. That was the initial evidence of the unparalleled care and concern that is afforded to his patients. Upon meeting with Dr. Chang, whose bedside manner supersedes that of most physicians, it was obvious that he had reviewed 15 years of medical records (that had only been sent 2-3 days prior) and taken the necessary action to synthesize that data identifying past diagnoses, tests, treatments and prescribed medications.During the course of the hour long visit, Dr. Chang examined me, identified those tests that would be required as a part of his routine diagnostic process, conducted an allergy test and arrived at a preliminary diagnosis (Laryngeal Sensory Neuropathy) for which he prescribed an initial medication to treat the presumed CAUSAL FACTOR of the cough which he considered to be nerve damage/misfiring. The initial medication (Elavil-10 mg) caused side-effects and no apparent relief. When reported to Dr. Chang, he promptly prescribed another medication (Neurontin-100 mg) that was effective within one week and has resulted in me being COUGH FREEE for the past 4 weeks!!!It is with great pleasure and optimism that I highly recommend Dr. Chang to anyone that has been plagued by a chronic, mystery cough. His expertise, care and concern are unparalleled in the industry and destined to position him as a subject matter expert and leader in the industry that is sought after by many. Prior to my retirement, I worked for one of the worlds largest pharmaceutical firms. Working within Research and Development, I encountered some of the greatest minds known to mankind. From my perspective, Dr. Chang is among that number. Some time ago, I came across a quote by former President, Theodore Roosevelt. The quote goes, People dont care how much you know until they know how much you care. In the case of Dr. Chang, it is obvious that he is very knowledgeable about ENT and chronic coughs, specifically. However, what is even more evident is that he cares about his patients. This combination of expertise and compassion makes him an awesome physician, for whom I am grateful to God, and forever indebted. I sincerely appreciate him taking the time to care about me and apply his knowledge and expertise to resolve what I considered to be a cough that had diminished the quality of my life!!
When a patient makes a choice to see a doctor far away from home you are somewhat unsure of what you will encounter. In my case I was fortunate to have an MD who answered my questions and listened to my concerns. There were no surprises and I am well on my way to recovery just one week post op. Thanks to the EDS procedure I can now sleep and eat without problems. Yea!! Dr. Chang
Even though we were 15 hours from Dr.Changs office, he made it possible for my daughter to finally recieve treatment,through numerous emails and phone calls. He went way out of his way to let us know what needed to be done on our end (w/our family doctor facilitating procedures here,etc.)as noone in our state did the procedure he was able to do for her.He was exremely professional,caring,dedicated.and the best at what he does! We are very grateful and would highly recommend Dr.Chang.
I have brought all my children to see Dr. Chang who has been just great with them! They've all had ear tubes as well as tonsils and adenoids removed with great results. All of them recovered way faster than expected. The staff at Fauquier Hospital were also all wonderful!
Extremely pleased with Dr. Chang and his staff. I seldom have to wait to be seen and I am always treated in a professional and caring manner. Dr. Chang is available to answer any questions I have regarding my treatment for spasmodic dysphonia and any side effects that I experience. Highly recommend.
Dr. Chang is who I call blunt and to the point... But in a good way. If he doesn't know... He says it up front. If there is treatment to be had... He says it up front... If you want straight answers without wandering conversation... He is your man!
For years this Dr. has been the only option for those of us in Fauquier County with ear and sinus trouble. And he is about as cold and institutional a ...
Best doctor ever! Great staff! Minimal wait! Straigt-shooter.
My adolescent daughter and I are patients of Dr. Chang. Great doctor! He explains complex issues to my daughter in easy to understand terms and really makes her feel comfortable and safe in his care. His staff is very friendly and we have never had to wait more than 5 or 10 minutes to be seen, which is rare in todays world! Very comfortable recommending him.
I am an out of town, out of country American citizen who returns to the US twice a year and has limited time in the Warrenton area. Dr. Chang has gone out of his way on each of my visits to fit me in, even accomodating me on holidays. Beside his kindness in this way, he has been very personable, making sure that my personal assessment of my medical situation is related to him and is part of his professional diagnosis. This type of patient respect and interaction is very rarely found in my experience of 62 years. I have never waited on him in the hospital, but find him each time prepared and waiting on me. I have nothing but good to say about my experience with him as a doctor, his expertise in treating me, and I recommend him highly to anyone who needs his professional care.
My 18 month old needed surgery (tubes in both ears) and Dr. Chang came highly recommended by more than one local doctor and several other parents that had children see him.His office staff was understanding and caring. He explained everything very clearly to us and listened to all of our questions and concerns. The day of the surgery he came to talk to us in person to be sure we were ok. I would highly recommend this doctor and will continue to see him with our children.
Office was very efficient. Dr. Chang seemed knowledgable and I appreciated the fact that he is fairly conservative with surgical solutions rather leaving it as last resort when all potential medical options fail.
I have been suffering from severe sinus problems for years. Went to see Dr. Chang and he immediately performed endoscopy and made a diagnosis of nasal polyps along with deviated septum. That same day, he obtained allergy testing as well as a CT scan. I found out that I also had severe allergies that probably caused my polyps. A few weeks later, I had sinus surgery and septoplasty and now I can breath great! I'm also on allergy shots to keep my allergies under control which probably triggered my polyps. From being seen to relief (allergy control and surgery), took less than 2 months. Very impressed and relieved!
I was able to see the doctor the same day that I called for an ENT problem. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly I was able to be seen by the doc and get my problem addressed. Overall, pleased.
I had been warned not to see this dr. but since he was close to home I thought what can happen? Wrong...suffice to say not only was he the coldest, most cavalier dr. I have ever met...he performed procedures he had no business performing on me based on his lack of knowledge. I have now heard his partner left and I can tell you every other dr. in town says not to see this guy. Take the time and travel if needed to find the right care.

Preston, Gainey to vie in East End Democratic primary
An East End state House primary will come down to two candidates next month, now that the Commonwealth Court has knocked two names off the ballot this week.
State Rep. Joe Preston, 64, of East Liberty, one of the longest-serving members of the House, will face former staffer and city Democratic Committee chairman Ed Gainey, 41, of Lincoln-Lemington in the April 24 primary. The court ordered William Anderson, 39, of Homewood off the ballot, and Todd Elliott Koger, 50, of Wilkinsburg withdrew his nominating petitions, according to court records.
The last time Gainey challenged Preston, in 2006, Preston won by 92 votes out of about 7,000 cast. Anderson received 524 votes that year. Preston cruised to wins in the next two races, with 61 percent of the vote in a four-candidate field in 2008, and 66 percent of the vote in a three-candidate field in 2010.

You are Making a Difference by Funding Promising Research
Over the years, donors, riders, and sponsors of Pedal-with-Pete have funded promising clinical research through our grants to research centers across the country, including Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.
With dollars raised in 2014 we were able to make grants for these three worthy research projects:
McGill University Health Center, Quebec, Canada: Project entitled "Community Partners for Children's Participation". The objective of this multi-site research is to identify the relationship between social deprivation, resources offered, and participation levels of children with CP. Then, based on these factors, interventions will be developed to promote participation. Currently, little is known about "real life" contexts and the possible impact on the community-based interventions in promoting participation.
McMaster Children's Hospital, Ontario, Canada: Project entitled: "Development of Multimedia Education Modules for Families of Children with CP". The World Health Organization has created a universal framework for health (i.e., the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health or ICF). Using the ICF framework, this project aims to develop informational resources that meet the needs of parents and families of children with CP to help them to better understand the health condition and the treatment of their child.
Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, NY: Project entitled: "The effect of using e-Aminocaproic acid (EACA) to reduce bleeding during hip surgery". VRO surgery (i.e., varus rotational osteotomy) is conducted on many CP patients to maintain a level pelvis, a balanced spine, and mobile pain free hips. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the medication, EACA, can be effective in decreasing blood loss and the transfusion requirements after the surgery. The factors of blood loss and transfusion requirements can impact the length of hospital stay and can result in other complications. Such surgery is extremely common in patients with CP, and reducing these complications could be a significant benefit to people with CP.
All this research you fund helps kick off ground-breaking work that can lead to treatments and quality-of-life changes that allow children and adults with CP to better reach their full potential. Thank you so much for your support!

Over the years I've been a Peace Corps Volunteer in West Africa, endured the life of a government bureaucrat in Washington, D.C., raised two girls (and become Nonna to two grandchildren), tried organic farming, worked as a freelance journalist and editor, been a community activist, earned black belts in two different styles of martial arts, and written STAR TREK fan fiction for "underground" publication. Seven years ago I launched my science fiction suspense romance writing career. In 2012, my first two SFR novels finaled in the Romance Writers of America® Golden Heart® contest. The first of those novels, Unchained Memory, launches February, 24 from INK'd Press.
I currently live in Fredericksburg, Virginia with my husband and two talkative cats. When I'm not writing, I'm teaching tai chi and karate and planning our upcoming move to 43 acres in the mountains north of Asheville, North Carolina.

GeronimoOsama bin Laden's code name during the recent operation designed to kill him was "Geronimo." There is a history of cheeky code names that our elite forces use in their operations. President Obama's secret service code name, for example, is (or was) "Renegade." Fidel Castro was "AMTHUG" to the CIA during the various, often whimsical schemes to kill him. (AM was the code name for Cuba.) The list goes on. NPR reports that some Native American groups were offended by the use of Geronimo's name in connection with Osama bin Laden—or in connection with the operation in which he was killed—but in their respective times each occupied the role of boogeyman in the American imagination. Che Guevara is another figure who briefly filled this role. More »
Madame Nhu passes awayMadame Nhu has died. The sister-in-law of former South Vietnamese president Ngo Dinh Diem, Madame Nhu has been called many colorful and uncomplimentary epithets—"dragon lady," "an oriental Lucrezia Borgia"—because of the influence she wielded and the style with which she did it. (Somehow men being powerful or power-hungry is not so reprehensible.) Raised Buddhist, she converted to Catholicism when she married. Her exile was spent largely in Paris then Rome. She is survived by two sons and a daughter. Madame Nhu was famous for her colorful sayings, such as "Total power is totally wonderful," and, of the self-immolating monk Quang Duc, "If the Buddhists wish to have another barbecue, I will be glad to supply the gasoline and a match."

Did Picard make the right decision with the Son'a/Baku

Re: Did Picard make the right decision with the Son'a/Baku
Then again, maybe they didn't have good reason. Baybe does not establish anything. Define Good Reason by their society and rules.
Truth is, we don't know enough about that conflict.
What we DO know is that the Baku were being forced out of their homes, that they had lived in peacefully, bothering nobody, for hundreds of years.
It was a society, in and of itself. A colony from elsewhere on inception? Irrelevant morally, if interesting.
Until the Son'a and Federation situations, it was very productive to live there without depending on their technological knowledge.
Being where they are, and hard to reach, unnoticed, made more sense given their origins.
