Politics Counts
One might think that the spread of radio, TV, and other mass media would tend to reduce the various regional accents as people hear primarily the standard accent (whatever that is).
" "get a job" can sound more like "get a jab,""
This is, by far, my favorite jab at Ryan yet. As an example of what Ryan might say during the debates that would expose his accent, the lib chose the sentence "get a job."
Excuse me, we Wisconsinites paid for our vowels and we're durn well gonna use 'em! (grin)
Read it all with this one. Btw, I can't stand to listen to Biden. I find his delivery very strident. I'll take the way Ryan sounds any day of the week.
Seriously.....what is the "accepted" accent? Are we supposed to sound like Obama, especially when he speaks to audiences that are mostly black?
Every night, linguists everywhere drop to their knees and give thanks to UNIVERSITY TENURE. The home port of the useless.
As a voice teacher, I can tell you that vowel shift is a nightmare!! There's nothing uglier than that Rochester aaaaa (as in bat) sound when it's supposed to be an Italian, French, German or real English "ah" - or harder to train out of a student. (Think Paul Ryan playing Shakespeare - oy!) "Fargo" is a cute movie, but I only want my students to speak like that when they're playing a Midwesterner who's supposed to sound that way!!
Could care less about his accent. I like the content of his message.
This article, at the top of the column, is just a pile of unimportant cr.. .
So what? Every area has it's own special dialect, even a distance of 10-20 miles makes a difference. The main thing is to listen to the words being used, and I hear a lot of disinformation being created by media who chooses to disregard, or even shift the meaning of the message by changing it's verbage.
There is no way someone's dialect is radical - but tone of voice in any dialect can sway toward radicalism, etc.
What I see as radical is this articles title; just what is WSJ trying to achieve by saying "Paul Ryan Sounds Radical to Linguists." Please look up "radical" in your dictionary, as this title is misleading readers, and is slanderous to linguists and to Paul Ryan.
When I spoke with Labov at a conference while getting my linguistics degree, he mentioned that the syntactic aspects of the Northern Dialect were more prominent. The famed "Chicago with" being the most prominent marker. Obama and Ryan, both being from the Midwest but working as adults on the east coast have learnt to remove that feature from their accents. Obama occasionally uses the Chicago /d/ for "th" although not as prominently as Mayor Daley's "Dese, dems and dose . . ." archetypal speech.
...had been stable for 1,000 years."...?????? Really?
So, it has nothing to do with his politics.
The typical layperson will have difficulty even hearing it.
It won't effect the polls
Someone at WSJ online felt this rated being in the upper left hand column of page 1. Slow news day? Do WSJ editors get Tenure?
Out here, we say that New Engenders speak with an accent. Who determines what it is correct? The people. Not some useless, tenured university professor.
The term "radical" is politically charged and derogatory. Are we insulting the local culture of Wisconsin?
Totally unnecessary.
We need a Rhodilanda on da tickit.
what is coming out his mouth is what is going to ruin the middle class- eliminate medicare and social security!
I'm from the north. I grew up both north and west of Wisconsin.over my first 23 years. I now live in the south.
When I first talked to a southerner about moving south, I mentioned an aunt of mine. His response was immediate, "If you're going to live in the south, the word is Ant." I had said, "Awnt."
Spring forward 20 years.
I was at a family reunion with my wife. We hadn't seen these relatives for a very long time. I introduced my wife to my Dad's sister as, "Ant Nancy." Her response was more angry than annoyed, and she said, "First, it's Awnt Nancy." It went downhill from there when my wife asked how long ago Awnt Nancy had picked out her very expensive Persian cat from the ASPCA, where we go to find our pets. We quickly learned the cat's breeding history. also not in a friendly tone of voice.
All one has to do is look into Paul Ryan's eyes to see that the man is off his nut. He reminds me of Ant Nancy.
From the title - Does 'radical' refer to:
1: going to the root or origin?
2: extreme in regards to accepted or traditional forms
3: favoring drastic political, economical, or social reforms
Or are you just talking about his speech patterns and thought it would be a great way to trick readers into my article about American accents?
What is so radical about the truth?
And when Joe Biden talks to a black crowd his accent is fake, Or maybe when he talks he's just fake.
US "standard" accent is centered in California.
Accents do indeed tell stories. Ryan's will make him sound provincial, and tonight that will be exposed. Add his radical economic policies, hypocritical economic stands, and non-existent foreign policy experience, and Romney's tide will run out.
That's "radical?" What's radical is a Boston accent, where they replace "a"s with "r"s.
He will just make stuff up in whatever accent comes out.
Ed said: "Every night, linguists everywhere drop to their knees and give thanks to UNIVERSITY TENURE. The home port of the useless."
Oh, man, I love that. SO true.
Yup, we're goin' ta th store fur sum melk.
The US standard accent must be the Southern accent because all Democrat presidents and presidential candidates feel the need to fake this accent. The best so far: Hillary Clinton's rendition of "I ain't no ways tired." Every time I hear her say that line, I can't help laughing. It's classic.
Obama, the chameleon, is pretty good at it too. Whenever he speaks to black audiences, watch him drop his Gs (e.g., "hopin" and "changin") and turn his Rs into vowels (e.g., "where's yo dolla?").
Clinton and Carter were lucky. They were raised with one, but they make it thicker when their audience calls for it.
"UNIVERSITY TENURE. The home port of the useless"
You are talking about Biden, right? He does have a history of that....14 lies in the last debate, and he just made stuff up like the one about Lebanon and Hezbollah.
The pressure is on Biden, after Obama's lackluster performance. The liberals will Biden him a winner, LOL, no matter what, because they consistently overlook his gaffes, lies, and racist comments. Ryan will put a stop to his lying.....kind of like Romney did to Obama, several times.
Ryan is not stupid, and if Joe tries his usual tricks, of saying it with enough force, and enough conviction, like the seasoned compulsive lie teller that he is, he will be exposed....just like obama was.
really know all of the stuff Joe says?.....after all, your liberal media does not advertise it much.
He keeps the rest of us....um....well.....entertained.
Somewhere around the time of Shakespeare, vowel sounds in England were pronounced like vowel sounds on the continent. A sounded as the a in father. E sounded like the a in hate and i sounded like the double e sound in feet. Then the great vowel shift happened. The sounds produced by the letters a, e and i changed. However, as our linguist correctly stated, short a was stable and changed little.
I'm not sure what I worry about more these days, people who are not faithful to their vowels or cunning linguists.
I predict that the moderator and Biden will be engaging in tortuous shinanigans tonight in the effort to try to force Ryan to say "get a job."
We really are a melting pot of cultures, and so it's interesting to hear the evolution of american english. It's also fun to poke at other people's speech. Interesting, the first thing people may not realize, but use to discriminate against other people is their dialect--however foreign, local, cultured or not, neanderthal, radical, authentic or fake.
Joe Biden sounds crazy to most of us.
Maybe that's why they call him "crazy Joe" ?
from being leader of the free world, ladies and gentlemen....Joe Biden.
He failed on all 4 promises....go get him, Paul !!!!
No oversight, no help for homeowners despite multiple plans, taxpayers were not treated like investors, and CEO's and big banks have actually made out quite well.
Way to go Joe !!! Give us some more hope and change promises.
But didn't the left tell us all GOPers had to be from the South and sound like De Niro's awful accent in Cape Fear? What gives?
Biden will soar. Ryan will lie....they predict.
No slant there....did they miss the Biden liefest last time around, or what?
Then they will report that Biden won, no matter how many lies he told.
sound like a human fact checker every time Biden makes something up.
During tyhe depression I always heard that the the perfect dicion for radio was the cleavland diction
While in the Army we had a show put on by a diction exp[ert who said he could identify where we came from by our speech he could not do mine nor my friend we were from NJ but we were both boorn in the uper mid west
Western Electric during the late twenties tranfered many people to NjJ and most moved to our small town
They want GOP people to drawl so that they can make fun of them for sounding ignorant and stoopid....while ironically putting Carter, Clinton, Gore, etc...on a pedestal.
It a sad commentary on our population and our times that both candidates are being prepared to basically not sound too intelligent and favor the sound bite.
In just the last few months alone, he has said that Republicans wanted to put members of a primarily black audience "back in chains"....that the middle class has been buried over the course of his administration, and that the president's plan for the next 4 years is to raise taxes by 1 trillion.
There are pages and pages and pages from the last 4 years.....ripe for the picking.
Joe needs no help on what you think the goal regarding intelligence to be.....that is if he does not get confused about what the sound bite is.
University tenure: protection to practice the 1st amendment without fear of reprisal for discussing/teaching "radical" subjects, like evolution or communism.
he sounds like a d-bag no matter which accent he speaks with
Like Al Gore---Biden probably believes that the GB Packers play in a place called "Lambert" Field.
on his big fat Medicare lie.
Biden claimed that Ryan advocated for a plan that would let Medicare go bankrupt by 2016.
False statement that was quicky debunked.
He also claimed in the 2008 debate that the US and France, kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon. Huh?
This is the man who advised not to take Osama Bin Laden out, right? Ask him why, Paul, ask him why?
We know that our intelligence had known where he was for almost a year before Obama finally acted.
Biden also wanted Iraq to be broken up into 3 new ethnic states, that would likely constantly war between each other, right?
Biden needs to watch where he blows his steam....and proceed with caution if he is following his usual plan of fairy tale bs.
Ryan is not new to DC, neither does he appear to be a lightweight.
If Biden performs as usual, and gets caught manufacturing his own facts....will it be the altitude in Kentucky to blame...or the fact that he is rusty because he hasn't debated in 4 years, and the last time he did, it was a girl?
The Dems will run him in 2016 ???
grossepointblank is an idiot.
who would lie about a drunk driver killing his family....in political speeches....when the man was not drunk, would say anything.
Inflection suspension is a twit.
that he told a paragraph of lies when he was running for prez some years ago....regarding a full ride academic scholarship that he didn't really have, and his position in the class. He graduated in the 70's out of 80 something people...but called himself in the top tier. He stole a man in the English Labor Party's speech lines, and got caught.
His facts started getting checked, and he dropped out of the race.
Fact check him, Paul !!!!
Harpoon is a mindless embecile.
and tonight, the liberals will get to meet Joe Biden, just like you just met Obama......but wait, how will you know that he is lying?
You all listen to the same liberal msm stories that leave out big parts of the equation.
I listened to the interview - Paul Ryan sounds pretty much the way my family sounds - and the way may parents and grandparents sounded. Out here in rural Michigan we didn't even know we had an accent! I've noticed that the people from upstate New York sound pretty much the same.
1) Obama was exposed in the last debate.
2) Biden will be exposed in the next one.....he lied 14 times last time...and makes things up as he goes.
What is wrong with Ryan's foreign policy? Um...wasn't it Biden who told Obama NOT to strike bin laden....after they had already waited almost a year, knowing where he was ? Was Biden in on the state dept's dropping the ball in Libya...still wondering why they were denied the security they asked for.....and then ignoring the 9/11 attack? Is he too, going to try to claim it was a video, and disagree with the truth, told even by the libyan president...but played down by our state dept, so Obama would not have to address an act of war, in an election year?
Let's keep our priorities straight and lie when we have to, huh?
I do think that Biden wouldn't want his foreign policy history discussed by Ryan....and that Ryan isn't afraid to discuss it.
Hypocritical economic stands? Your guys were going to half the deficit....but took our debt from 10 ish to 16 ish trillion. His partner demeaned Bush for spending, yes, called him unpatriotic and irresponsible, then made Bush look like Ron Paul.
Radical economic policies? Redistribution isn't radical?...and trying to lie about it isn't either?..stealing 716 billion from Medicare isn't a radical economic move? Selling a stimulus that was supposed to be pork free and all about jobs...instead was full of paybacks, green scams for supporters, and welfare expansion?
The only radical economic policies, hypocritical economic stands, and failure in foreign policy in the last 4 years, has been the record amounts given to us by this administration.
MORE than what he sounds !
I like how he sounds! Too many politicians seem to believe, like the line from "A Few Good Men," that "you can't stand the truth!"
reallly paul ryan really
At least Ryan doesn't change his accent depending on who he is pandering to at the moment.
You've got to be phu cking hidding me. I'm not going to read it because of the title.
Will you please ask your "experts" to comment on the President's many different accents: Kenya, Indonesia, Hawaii, Chicago and, let us not forget, the 2007 speech to a group of blacks at Hampton U where he gave a special shout-out to Rev Wright!
Ever since the WSJ was sold/bought, it seems that the reporting and commentary has moved to the Left. Why put the word "radical" in the headline if not to mimic the theme of the Democrats in tarring Ryan as a radical? I may just let my subscription lapse.
Hmmm. I want to mock Ryan, but I've got to make it cute...
Why President Obama is not talking about problems, specific plan, economic policies for 23 million unemployed Americans. President Obama is not talking about the debt as strikes $16.2 trillion and astonishing 47 million Americans that live in poverty. The most powerful leader in the world is talking about "Big Bird". Why?
This "paper" has indeed gone to pot, seemingly since the sale/spinoff.
Raise you're hand if you stabbed you're self in the eye with a pencil half-way through this article.
What linguist? Noam Chomsky?
Ryan sounds radical because we have been living in the @$$-backwards world of Keynesian economics so long that common sense no longer makes any sense. It's Alice in Wonderland logic where "the more you borrow, the richer you are" (that statement being a word-for-word quote from Pete Stark, D-CA). It's a Mad Hatter world where printing money is considered "stimulus" and borrowing more money than you could ever hope to repay is considered sound economic policy.
Nim Chimpsky, not Noam Chomsky.
Mr. President: Why is unemployment above 8.1% for 44 months, despite the nearly $6 trillion dollar in new debt? Why is there a record 5.4 million workers and their dependents that have signed up to collect federal disability checks since you took office?
A federal government growing less than three times the rate of inflation and a job probably does sound radical and unfamiliar to most Obama/Biden voters
They "gonna put ya'll back in chains". Like to see what linguists make of Biden's outrageous derogatory fake drawl.
Ryan is a radical, if you consider corporatists with an anti-Muslim agenda radical.
Baloney, , KEYNESIAN INSANITY, you clearly don't know what you're talking about.
What's Ryan going to do to support family planning? Gay rights? Evolution?
Are some of you really freaking out about a story that's kind of fun about Paul Ryan's accent? I'm from Wisconsin originally and my family and I have a great time revisiting our "holy cow!" patois. When I lived in the South, I often got a lot of joshing about my Northern accent. In my view, it's a charming aspect of America that we have these different habits of speech. Why the vitriol? Why trash the professor for saying that Ryan's accent is no big deal vis-a-vis the election? Puzzling.
Ryan looks like a starving vampire, so his radical dialect is just icing on the cake. Did you say that particular dialect dates back 1000 years? Was it traced to Transylvania?
It's not that the midwest pronounces job like "jab" it's that all you east coasters pronounce it "jowb"
Who cares about accent. I have accent too. I would like to know why does your administration continue to funnel taxpayer dollars to "green energy" companies run by Democrat donation bundlers just months before they file for bankruptcy?
I studied American dialects in college, and found it fascinating to trace the origins and migrations of immigrant groups through dialect. However, this article is mis-named, as there is certainly nothing radical about any of the many dialects in the US. The key to understanding this article is the dialect of the author - which is not revealed....
A strong, assertive candidate for a meaningless job.
"Obama sounds radical to capitalist".......needs to be the title of this article.
I used to get baked with Ryan at Miami of Ohio.
Ryan is my favorite #2
This is the garbage the media wants the sheople to focus on instead of focusing on the facts. No wonder this country is in such bad shape.
Bob Dobbs wrote :

Linguists..yet another useless liberal arts major. Ahhh...the world of liberal academia.
Hello, Mormon God here writing you from outer space. Some people think I a quack, but ask any Mormon…. God is flesh-and-blood and lives today, in 2012 in outer space with his multiple wives near the planet Kolob. So, is the internet connection really the hard part to believe?
Anyway, Mormon's also believe that God has, can, and will continue to elevate some select humans to the level of God. That's my plan - to elevate Mitt Romney to Godhead.
Paul Ryan... He is a good man, but he is going to hell. He is not a Mormon. All non-believers are heathens who deserve our pity, but are still going to hell.
(sent from my iPhone)
Jess Sayin is full of IT (and it's not baloney.)
I think his accent makes him sound more authentic and sincere.
Butch, what year were you there? I did some X with Ryan, and, well, things got weird.
I mean, I'm not embarrassed, we all experiment, but it was really weird. Not full on gay stuff, but a lot of caressing.
Ridiculous to focus on this!!
So what?
They've been pushing this silly article in various locations all day.
Someone thinks it's cute I guess.
It's "work" like this article that is the reason I don't plan to renew my WSJ sub.
Ha, I always called that the Utica Yukki flat A; not discernible "jab" there though.
why is this silly/ridiculous? Its not a criticism about him, and it's interesting to those in the linguistics field

Shopping in London is a must during your stay in our fabulous serviced apartments. Even window shopping, stopping to marvel at London's famous department stores' displays offers a magical experience. Christmas is one of the best times to shop in London, because of the festive lights display on major streets and the city's winter charm. However, summer offers sales extravaganza and the buzzing high from massive savings and discounts on designer and high-street (outdoor shopping streets) fashion. Whether you are shopping at the famous British chain, Topshop, or luxurious department store Harrods, you will enjoy the sights and sounds of this fashionable city.
If you want something special to bring back home, you should browse the famous antique markets at Notting Hill all the way to Camden Market. You can find some gems in many second-hand and charity shops scattered around London.
Don't try to do London's shopping districts in one day. You will spend the majority of the day on the Underground. Focus on one area and shop smart during your stay at our London lets.
Amongst the art galleries and the British Museum, you'll find a nice mix of small bookshops around Judd Street. Larger chain stores and cafes can be found in nearby Brunswick Centre.
Soho offers jewelers and specialty fabric shops; be careful when shopping in Soho as a lot of the shops are wholesale only. Some shops will let you buy regardless. There are a few fancy dress shops and some newsagents that are very well stocked with magazines.
Head for the charming Marylebone High Street and you will find boutiques and specialty shops stocking everything from home ware, ribbons and buttons to children's gifts.
Full of on-trend vintage shops like Beyond Retro around Brick Lane and Commercial Street, you will find plenty of treasures, but expect to pay for the privilege. There's also famous music and record shops like Rough Trade East on Dray Walk. Walk south to Whitechapel for saris and colourful fashion.
A Guide to Oxford Street
This might be your first port of call during your stay at our London lets, but we advise avoiding London's most famous shopping street at all costs from Friday afternoon to the end of Saturday. Weekday mornings are fairly peaceful in comparison.
Stick to Bond Street; the further East you go on Tottenham Court Road, the more fast food and cheap tourist traps you'll encounter.
During December Oxford Street is partially closed to traffic on the weekend to make way for the influx of Christmas shoppers. Christmas lights around Oxford Street offer festive cheer. Nearby Regent Street and Carnaby Street are always worth a visit.
Selfridges, voted the best department store in the world. Famous for 'The Shoe Galleries' and 'A Project Ocean' campaign in the food hall to save fish being thrown back into the sea. The mini spa boutique 'The Powder Room' offers makeovers.
Primark, situated near Marble Arch tube station, on the western stretch of Oxford Street, it's the UK's biggest budget department store. The queues (lines) are terrible, as is the quality. You really do get what you pay for here. But if you need basics for less than the price of your lunch, Primark fits the bill.
1. Westfield Shepherds Bush, Ariel Way, White City
With over 300 stores, including famous department stores and big names like Apple and Gucci , this shopping centre has it all. It also offers a cinema and 'The Village' designer stories. For dinner al fresco, head to Southern Terrace.
More info:http://uk.westfield.com/london
2. Westfield Stratford City, Newham, E15 1AZ
In preparation for the 2012 Olympics, the shopping centre only recently opened its doors to East London. Here you'll find over 50 restaurants and stores like Nike, Waitrose and Topshop.
More info: http://uk.westfield.com/stratfordcity
3. One New Change, St Pauls EC4M 9AF
At just over a year old, One New Change (next to St Paul's Cathedral) is deathly quiet on the weekends. You will benefit from having some of the smaller shops all to yourself. Set in a modern building with a striking courtyard style open air roof in the middle.
More info: http://www.onenewchange.com/
4. London Trocadero, Shaftesbury Avenue
This entertainment and shopping centre offers a HMV music store, British gifts at Crest of London and fashion at Accessorize. It's in the middle of Leicester Square too for easy access to nearby Covent Garden and Oxford Street shopping.
More info: http://www.londontrocadero.com/
Where else can I shop?
Try Chiswick, Richmond, Hampstead and Sloane Square as well as King's Road in Chelsea. If you only have a few days in the capital, the main shopping areas of Oxford Street, Soho, Bloomsbury, Shoreditch and Marylebone should satisfy all your shopping needs.
Whatever your taste- London truly has it all. Here's a brief guide to buying everything from gifts to antiques during your stay at our London lets.
For gifts, Covent Garden and Seven Dials should be your first stop. The enclosed market sells scarves, paintings and souvenirs. You can find smaller brands and retro boutiques like Pop for the hard to please members of your group.
Fopp on Cambridge Circus has a good selection of music, DVDs and books. You'll have to visit HMV on Oxford Street for a larger selection. Rough Trade East on Dray Walk in Brick Lane is worth the journey for independent record labels, vinyl and getting to know the British music scene.
And if you find yourself westwards, peek into Honest Jon's on Portobello Road for reggae and jazz records. Camden has a few independent records shops scattered near the underground station.
If you're a technology fan, you should visit the Apple Store at 1 The Piazza, Covent Garden, which is housed in a beautifully restored building dating back to 1876. Check out the latest MacBook Air and iPhone 4GS on old English Oak tables. This is something you won't find in Silicon Valley. There's another impressive Apple Store on Regent Street, centrally located to all of our London luxury apartments.
Tottenham Court Road is famous for electronics shops which offer excellent bargains, if you know the market.
Jessops round the corner on New Oxford Street gives good advice, if you are looking to buy a camera.
See our shopping links for more shopping ideas during your stay at our serviced apartments London locations.
You can still find a few Waterstones (Britain's biggest bookstore) in Piccadilly, on Oxford Street and on the Strand by Trafalgar Square, despite Amazon's takeover. For academic titles, head to the Malet Street branch near the UCL university campus.
Charing Cross Road has excellent art bookshops and second hand booksellers who know their stock inside out. Foyles is the biggest book seller with a jazz cafe and concessions.
Daunt Books on Marylebone High Street is another must see. The impressive Edwardian building offers beautiful surrounding. Best of all, you can leave with your own Daunt books bag. In recent years, Daunt has branched out into literature and biography.
Art and Antiques
Jump on the bus or tube to Shoreditch and get lost in cobbled streets. Great Eastern Street, Rivington Street and Leonard Street offer private galleries, like Vegas or Victoria Miro. Although they are free to enter, the assistants expect you to buy a piece of original art or photography. Some galleries are by private appointment only. Check websites like timeout.com/london for up-to-date listings, openings and contact details.
Christie's or Sotheby's are the best auction houses in London. Founded in 1766, Christie's is located near Green Park tube in Mayfair. Sotheby's has a very wide range of art and antiques and is just down the road in New Bond Street. You will find Bonhams nearby, the world's oldest British owned auctioneers, where you can get anything from ancient relics to vintage cars.
Smaller auction houses such as Chiswick Auctions in South West London are easier to access. We recommend you plan your visit well in advanced. Please visit the websites directly for more information.
Big spenders
If you are looking to blow your budget during your stay out our London lets, Harrods and Harvey Nichols in Knightsbridge will be your first port of call. With their almost identical outlandish window displays, famous food halls and VIP shopping experiences, these famous department stores offer true luxury. Nearby Burberry Flagship store offers British heritage fashion; best for trench coats or quilted jackets.
Bond Street and Mayfair offer pristine shop fronts with glorious scents coming out of them. You'll find made-up ladies clip clopping down the streets. Dress up smartly if you want to browse through Fortnam and Masons, at 181 Piccadilly. It is famous for its hampers and fine selection of chocolates. You can book afternoon tea for a truly British experience.
Or alternatively...
For a bargain, try a market or two. Areas like Bermondsey, Brixton and Whitechapel in South and East London will be cheaper for everything, including food. You won't find branded stores, but you can sample an array of exotic dishes.

Depends on what your intended usage is. The Schneider Componon S and recent Rodenstocks are good lenses. The 150 mm El Nikkor that I use is sharp as a tack. The El Nikkor will pass UV much better then the Schneider and Rodenstock lenses. I have heard this from two independent sources. Apparently the El Nikkor lens incorporates a different glass and coating then the other lenses. This becomes a consideration if you decide at some point to buy the 4X5 Azo enlarger lamp that is being brought to market.Originally Posted by 2Ldude
I don't have any vested financial or ego interest in making the statements above since I do own lenses from all three major mfgs.

It didn't help Saratoga that its leading scorer, Jordan Stevens, sat out the game with a broken left hand " an injury he sustained at last month's Hilliard Tournament in Schenectady. Since Stevens' injury, the Blue Streaks have lost six consecutive games.
"We won by 32 points, and I don't think (Stevens) is worth 32 points by himself," said Kilmer. "But the difference is when they get down now, they don't think they can come back because he's not out there."
Colonie has no such concerns on offense. The trio of Herb Tedford, Tashan Newsome and Jim Bacher are as healthy as they have been all season, and Sean Peer occasionally chips in with a double-digit point night. All four reached double digits against Saratoga, with Tedford's 17 points leading the way. Bacher contributed 14 points, Peer chipped in 12 points and Newsome added 10 points.
Following Tuesday's game against Ballston Spa, the Garnet Raiders have two games left before the Suburban Council Tournament " a Friday showdown with crosstown rival Shaker, and a contest against Shen next Tuesday that could determine the Blue Division title. The Plainsmen entered their Tuesday game against Guilderland with an 8-3 league mark, one game behind Colonie.
Before the Garnet Raiders can worry about Shen, though, they have some other obstacles to dodge.
"Right now, we're focused on Ballston Spa, but we're looking forward to (Friday) night," said Kilmer. "Shaker will be a very tough team. They're well coached, and they always play us physical."
Shaker (4-7, 5-9) has been playing better basketball of late, too. The Blue Bison have tangled with some of the top teams in the Suburban Council and have split their last four games, including a 57-49 victory over Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake Jan. 18.
Shaker's most recent game was a 61-48 loss to Shen Friday, but that game wasn't decided until the fourth quarter when the Plainsmen outscored the Blue Bison 17-13 to wind up with their 13-point margin of victory.

Crazy finish at Michigan high school football game
Dallas Jackson
Quick lesson in high school football. The game isn't over until the official blows the whistle on the final play.
Canton (Michigan) Plymouth High learned that the hard way earlier this month.
The school thought it had defeated Westland (Michigan) John Glenn when it blocked a last-second field goal attempt. But when its players ran off the field in celebration, none of the players realized that the ball hadn't crossed the line of scrimmage and was still in play.
No official had blown the ball dead.
So while Plymouth celebrated, John Glenn's Tony Wilton alertly picked up the ball and ran 33-yards for the winning score.
It's a play, Wilton will never forget. Here's how it went down.
John Glenn trailed Plymouth, 28-27, with eight seconds left when it lined up for a potential game-winning field goal.
Wilton, a senior, is also the holder for field goals.
As the play unfolded, two onrushing Plymouth defenders dove and blocked the Ryan Lopez kick, which would never cross the line of scrimmage.
The Plymouth team erupted in jubilation of the last-second heroics.
Unfortunately for the Wildcats, the play was not over.
Wilton alertly scooped up the ball and took off running and 33 yards later he had scored his first career touchdown and won the game, 33-28.
"I heard somebody say 'run.'" Wilton told The Observer & Eccentric following the game. "There were (Glenn) guys in front of me and they (Plymouth) all ran off the field. They thought the game was over.''
Plymouth coach Mike Sawchuk was not at all satisfied with how the final play was officiated.
"They (the officials) blew the whistle and the clocked stopped - everybody stopped,'' he told the paper. "They wouldn't give me an explanation."
In addition, some feel the video shows that Wilton's knee was on the ground when he picked up the ball - an act that would end the play if true.
The Plymouth players shouldn't feel too badly about it. After all, in a sense, they were just copying the pros.
Remember Leon Lett's famous Thanksgiving Day gaffe that cost the Cowboys a win over the Dolphins.
Sawchuk wants no part of that - or being an Internet sensation. He just wants what he feels his team earned: A victory.
"It's something that's a protest in my eyes,'' he told the paper. "We won the game. We played our tails off and they (Glenn) should not be happy with the win.''
The "protest" is so strong that the team's official website has yet to record a final score of the game.
Wilton, however, has his moment and his own memory.
"I didn't hear any whistle and I thought nothing of it."

The Terminator Chronicles: Second Chance
View Single Post
August 12 2009, 10:40 PM
Location: Aboard the Executor...
Re: The Terminator Chronicles: Second Chance
The shrill alarms were giving John Connor a headache. In the years that he'd been stuck in the future war on his search for Cameron's processor he'd gone through so many evacuations that he'd lost count of them. Sometimes they were preemptive escapes out of fear that Skynet had found them; other times they were exactly like this: running firefights to the escape tunnels with the army of tin cans closing in from behind. No matter what the circumstances behind the evacuation orders they were always calamities.
He couldn't imagine what they were like before he'd arrived though. When he first appeared in the future with the shape-shifter he was taken to the outpost that Kyle's group was operating out of. For fear that Skynet may have located them via spy satellite; they decided to move to an alternate site from the main one. Back then escapes were a lot harder and far more complicated during an evacuation (and not only because he was new to this reality). There were no emergency escape hatches that people could get through – no tunnels other than the main one into and out of the base. There wasn't even an alarm to signal the evacuation orders and it had to be done by word of mouth. The first thing that John did was worked with Kyle and Derek to build escape tunnels separate from the main ones that they could use in emergencies. They were simple, made by throwing up walls and blocking paths, but they were effective. That one little suggestion enhanced the evacuation efficiency; the alarms nearly doubled the survival rate. Now building those tunnels was the first thing that they did no matter where they were living; planning the evacuations were the second. It was morbid but it was the only way to stay alive.
There was also a better division of labor since John arrived. It was true that it'd be better for a team to be making sure that anything that could risk their safety be destroyed, but that just wasn't an option with more advanced machines coming from Skynet factories. Now, since they split up to accomplish key goals, they could cover more ground and keep the essential tasks going even if one were disrupted. Normally it'd be Kyle who was making sure that the secret documents got burned and that the mainframes were destroyed, but that wasn't the case today. Today he'd left that task to John, not that John was complaining. It gave him a few minutes to flip through some of the more restricted documents that even he hadn't seen. Kyle's mysterious benefactor had been busy; there was a lot of crucial information here about a variety of subjects ranging from endoskeletons to improving the efficiency of the power cells of the plasma rifles.
As he threw several of the files into the oil drum filled with flames he wondered just who that benefactor was. No one had seen him, her, or – quite possibly – it. John had a few theories about who could be behind their gifts, not that he'd share. Catherine Weaver was the biggest possibility, if she were still active which she probably was. John Henry was another likely choice, but John wasn't even sure if he could still be functional either. For being built to serve as an AI to fight Skynet he wasn't doing the best damn job in the world. Humanity was losing this war, but maybe he really was only out to help the mysterious other faction? Then there were a few human possibilities. James Ellison could still be alive or maybe Savannah Weaver – she was probably taught and prepared by Ellison after Catherine escorted John to the future. Then there was one name that still came to him and flashed over and over in his mind.
Sarah Connor: mom. Could his mother still be alive and fighting the machines today? Kyle never met her in the present or the future from what John knew. Cameron told him that his mother died of cancer in the original timeline and that was why they jumped through time in the first place. Did she succumb to cancer in this reality too or was she still out there somewhere? Why wouldn't she reveal herself if she was? Why wouldn't she try to find him? It couldn't be her; though, silently, he hoped that it was her. He could use the help and her experience. Hit mother was a fighter so if she'd somehow survived this he probably wouldn't be surprised by it.
Especially right now. In the distance he heard the sound of more plasma rifle discharges echoing through the sandstone and cement halls. He should have expected something like this to happen especially now that they were planning an attack. It only made sense that they'd be attacked this close to the offensive against Topanga Canyon - it happened in every other timeline so why would this one be any different? He'd long theorized that the timeline was constantly trying to right itself despite the constant changes caused by the temporal incursions both on Skynet's side and the Resistance's. Time was trying to find a way to fix itself and a lot of the things that he'd heard about through stories still seemed to happen even in this upside down timeline.
So why would Topanga be any different? The story and the players were the same; just the characterizations were different. In the original timeline John was trying to keep the power systems online while the machines invaded the base and Kyle was making sure that the mainframes and classified materials were destroyed. The locations were even the same. They were in tunnels underneath what was once called Pico Tower – a high-rise hotel. The first machine sent in was an infiltrator that targeted the leader of the base (in the original timeline John; in this one Kyle). The machines were coming in from all the available entrances they could find. It was almost exactly the same.
Right as he finished up burning their files and setting up the demolition charges around the mainframes he heard a noise at the door. Diving he rolled and crouch walked to the central table. He pulled his rifle from the smooth tabletop, disengaged the safety, and pointed the barrel at the door. The young soldier kept his finger on the trigger and kept his finger ready to strike. He wanted to be ready to pull the trigger if the machine came in from the other side. Deep in the recesses of his mind he wondered which infiltrator Skynet would use this time (he never learned the style used in the raid). Would it be Uncle Bob? The machine sent for Bedell? Rosie? Carl Greenway? Was it going to be any of a slew of other possibilities ranging from all shapes and sizes? Could it even be Cromartie – well Cromartie before he was taken over by John Henry?
The shape came through the door. John pointed the rifle at the head and got ready to pull the trigger, right when he realized who it was. It wasn't a machine - at least he assumed that it wasn't because he'd yet to see a machine wearing the face of Derek Reese. He moved the plasma rifle to a resting position and got back to his charges. Derek had other plans, he wanted to question Connor.
"Where's my brother?" He asked without delay.
John had heard about Derek's continued quest to find out more about Kyle following the Mission to Topanga in the other reality from Cameron. He'd even lived part of it while Charley tried to save Derek after he was shot by Vick Chamberlain. Back then Derek had demanded answers from John even as he lay bleeding on the kitchen counter from his wounds. John knew the futility of trying to lie to him about something that was so important in Derek's mind; in all their minds. Family was truly important even now.
"I really don't know. He was going to the Generator Room to make sure that it was defended during the evacuation. He asked me to…"
The older Reese screamed, "And you let him go alone?"
"I really didn't have a choice," Connor answered him as he activated the timers. "I had to make sure that these files and the mainframes were destroyed so that Skynet didn't know what we're up to."
"Face it," Derek shook his head incredulously, "Skynet already knows everything. How else could it've found us? We too every precaution…"
This time John interrupted him, "And sometimes the machines just guess right. This time they guessed right; so we need to make sure that everything that could lead them to us is destroyed and then we need to get the hell out of here." He tried not to tip his hand too much to let Derek know that he knew more than he should. John looked at the countdown, "And we only have thirty seconds left before we get entombed a thousand feet below the surface if we stay in this room so we need to get the hell out of here! Let's go get Kyle…"
The explosion was hard to mistake. John and Derek shared a look then they ran for the door. The only room in the entire base that was designed to be destroyed was the control room, which John had just set the detonators for. That meant that somewhere else in the base someone was in a hell of a lot of trouble and both knew exactly where that likely was. The machine had changed its attack plan. It was after the power systems and that had to be where the explosion came from. That was where Kyle was.
They both ran as fast as they could for the source.
Maneuvering through the emergency escape tunnel was like trying to navigate through a maze blindfolded. The whole tunnel was as dark as the night sky and the ground was broken up from years of weathering and misuse. A putrid smell, like rotten eggs but worse, made its way through the air and assaulted their nostrils. Every few minutes the ground and walls would shake as a Hunter Killer tank rolled over the streets above them with its massive treads. Even though the tunnel gave them some protection and all they could hear were the sounds; Allison imagined the sick sound of the skeletons of their fathers and mothers breaking under the weight of the colossus. It wasn't the first time that it happened, it probably wouldn't be the last, and like every time before her eyes let loose a single tear of sorrow.
Ahead of her Andre Sumner and Eduardo Timms were helping three children down the long pipe, but both of the men stopped to check on her. Sumner shone the flashlight, one of the last working ones in the world she theorized, in her eyes. She shielded herself with her forearm trying to block out the blinding light as best she knew how. Normally she'd want the light; right now all she wanted was to be in the dark. She wished she had never been born into this.
"Get that damn light out of my face!"
"Just checkin ta see if ya back tere lil lady," it was of course Andre with his distinctive accent and speaking style. She knew that he spoke normal English, avoiding the accent and words of the land where he grew up from time to time, but this wasn't one of those times. Timms grinned from ear to ear like the Cheshire Cat, the latest in his line of flirting looks.
Holding onto her rifle tightly she made her way up to them over the cracked cement, "I'm not a little lady that needs two big strong men to keep her going; I don't need anyone. Whoever told you I was was lying to you so just get that thought outta your heads." She dropped her hand and looked at Timms, "That goes to both of yours."
"You're not my type," Timms said back to her hoping that the kids didn't understand what she was saying. He didn't care if they did, but he hid his embarrassment. She was the first to refuse him in a long time. They didn't have many options after all.
"And you're not mine," she said looking him dead in the face then she remembered that the kids were there. Timms had quite the reputation among the survivors as being what they would have called a player a lifetime ago. He didn't seem to get over the fact that they were dying; he just hopped from bed to bed and didn't care about the consequences. One of Allison's friends had killed herself after seeing him with another woman.
"Let's keep moving before the metal starts following us," she ordered without any real authority over them.
Sumner agreed, "Best idea I heard in a long time."
They continued on their march toward the escape. The kids were doing remarkably well considering the circumstances, but kids were better survivors than even the adults in this world. Kids could adapt quickly to new situations; adults had a bit more trouble with change. Kids weren't blowing their heads off after the fall of man – adults were left and right. Those kids were now they adults and taking care of the next generation. Some of them were even losing that gift of adaptation.
Allison herself was only a kid when the bombs fell. She was three years old when Judgment Day came and she wasn't even with her parents at the time. She had been in the care of their kindly old next door neighbor Mrs. McCluskey because her mom and dad were both at work. She was eating, something better than garbage probably but she barely remembered, but she could remember seeing the mushroom clouds in the bay window. They hung over Los Angeles and, to her young eyes; they were prettiest things that she'd ever seen. Mrs. McCluskey had a harder time with it, frantically moving and trying to get things together. Allison never cried out for her parents, never even cried once during the storm, but she silently worried about her mom and dad not understanding what had happened (all she wanted to know at that moment was if they saw the pretty cloud). A short time later Mrs. McCluskey passed away from the stress – a heart attack most likely – and Allison was left alone at the age of three to fend for herself.
As the group came to the Y-shaped intersection she stood for a moment to regain her bearings. It was pretty clever of them when they came up with the escape route. If you went to the left you'd end up back at the base near the entrance, but if you went to the right you'd come out at the intersection of Third Street and Cameron in about half a mile. There was another intersection shaped like a fork. If you stayed on the right path there were booby traps and detours that you had to know how to navigate through. The one in the middle led to a massive drop off that would kill you. Then if you went to the left you'd be able to get to the escape tunnel. The machines could never navigate through these jury rigged tunnels, well they could but it'd probably take some time, so they needed whatever advantages they could get. Allison took point and led them through the tunnel.
They didn't get far before all hell broke loose. About two hundred feet down the long corridor another Hunter Killer patrol rolled over the streets above them. This time the ground shook and buckled, which was made worse when they heard the explosion. It shouldn't have done any damage, but the explosion rocked the foundations of the tunnels. Rubble and debris fell from the ceiling and separated Allison from the rest of her group. She turned back and started clawing at the garbage; there had to be at least three feet of debris separating her from the others. She kept clawing at it trying to free them, but it was a worthless gesture. If only she'd had her rifle she could've blasted away the field. They couldn't follow her; there was no way they could maneuver through the junk. They'd have to loop back around to the other side. If they were alive of course.
Allison was torn. She could help free them but risk being captured by the machines, or she could keep going down the corridor and escape. There were points where she could possible loop back around and, if she were lucky, she could get to them, but there weren't many of those options ahead of her. There was just too much debris blocking her path to her friends, to the children. Looking down the dark corridor she knew what she had to do. Instead of running to her freedom she ran to the intersection that led back to the base. Her legs pumped as fast and as hard as she could make them go. She passed the turn that would lead to freedom and raced to the far end that would loop back giving her the chance to rescue the others. She rounded the corner and fell back on her butt. Looking up she saw a vision of hell light up before her. Twin red eyes started to glow and they focused in on her. The machines had found the escape tunnels and they were lying in wait, just waiting for the refugees to try to escape. She apologized silently and started down the exit conduit, praying for her friends and her own survival.

When u start to accelerate the right front tire seems to bounce and the cv joint hits the frame. I have replaced the cv joint but no luck, my abs light also turns on and the traction control turns off. Also where the cv joint enters the transmission it got alot of play.
thanks for your time.

Jumping tire- bad strut(most likely), loose control arm bushings, bad tie rod, bad ball joint, bent wheel, bad wheel bearings. What do you mean a lot of play where it enters the transmission? In and out or up and down. If it is moving up and down, it should be leaking fluid, is it? If so, that's bad mkay?
Its not leaking fluid but it is making cut marks into my frame. So im guessing its moving up and down. Is there anyway I could get a diagram to look further into it?
Also tomorrow I could send some pics if that would help in any way. Much appreciated.
