When these NBA Finals finally start, there will be much to sort out. Based on initial Stein Line estimates, there are at least six good plot lines that need immediate resolution.
That's one story line for as many games as this series is going to last, in other words, because here's what we already do know: The Lakers might float in and out of games, but they're going to win this series in six.
Maybe even five depending on how "fat and lazy" they are, in the words of Phil Jackson.
What we don't know yet is ...
1. Who will win Finals MVP. There is usually only one conceivable answer here when the Lakers are involved: Shaquille O'Neal. This, though, ain't your typical postseason. As the Finals commence, there really isn't a clear-cut favorite for what amounts to the playoffs' MVP trophy, which lends a spicy new twist to the interminable Shaq-and-Kobe saga. Those two have taken turns dominating throughout the first three rounds, and you can argue that Derek Fisher is a Finals MVP contender simply because of the finish he gave us in San Antonio in Game 5, Round 2. The race to win this one, for once, looks like it'll provide more suspense than the actual series. Judging by Game 6 of the Western Conference finals, we might even have to throw Kareem Rush onto the ballot. Yet Minnesota's Mark Madsen, even after grappling with Shaq for six games, thinks it'll be tough for voters to ignore Bryant's all-around contributions, and not simply on those days when he's flown in from Colorado. "Kobe is playing at the highest level I've ever seen him," Madsen said, "and I've seen him at a very high level. Because he's making things so much easier for his teammates." When Kobe's in the mood, that is.
2. How successful the Lakers will be guarding Rip Hamilton. Those six triples in Game 6 were huge, but Rush was assured a bigger role in the Finals because of L.A.'s opponent, not because Jackson considers Rush the Lakers' best perimeter shooter. Rush will be part of the task force that must share the responsibility of chasing Detroit's prime scoring threat all over the court. What really worries the Lakers about the Pistons, more than Detroit's defensive prowess, is Rip Hamilton's ability to run defenders through and around screens for 24 seconds of every possession. Reason being: L.A. doesn't have Stein Line favorite Ron Harper anymore, or anyone like him. It was Harp, remember, who was primarily responsible for tracking Reggie Miller in the 2000 Finals. Bryant only had to chase Reggie in spots, preserving his legs for offensive domination. And, as Indiana's Jamaal Tinsley said the other day, Hamilton is "a baby Reggie Miller." Kobe is the Laker best-equipped to deal with Rip in this series, but Jackson isn't going to want his offensive facilitator/crunch-time dominator wasting all his energy hunting Rip down. It appears the Lakers' only option, with their current crew, is to take a group approach, and Rush will be part of it. Devean George, Rick Fox, Fisher, Gary Payton, Rush ... and, again, Kobe in spots. Most likely they'll all have to take turns, unless someone in the group emerges as the new Harp.
3. Whether copious double-teaming of Shaq by two Wallaces at once can really bother The Diesel. This is No. 2 on the list of L.A. concerns. Ben Wallace or Rasheed Wallace has no shot at stopping Shaquille O'Neal one-on-one. As a tag team, by contrast, they can at least theoretically have some success limiting Shaq's wreckage, with Detroit also possessing more back-up bulk (Mehmet Okur and Elden Campbell) than any other team in the East. Another source of promise for the Pistons is the presence of Tayshaun Prince, who gives Detroit a top-shelf defender to shadow Kobe while the bigs deal with O'Neal. That still leaves the Pistons vulnerable to what might come from Karl Malone or Payton or stealth heroes like Fisher and Rush, but that's better than having no options against L.A.'s franchise twosome. Of course, as a caution to Motown's optimism, we're obligated to note that Bryant should be plenty warmed up for Prince after dealing with Bruce Bowen and Trenton Hassell in the past two rounds.
4. If Detroit's offense is really as punchless as it looked against Indy. Let's get real, here. We can talk all day about the potential problems Detroit can cause the Lakers with its D, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say L.A. is still going to score 85 to 90 points per game, no matter how stingy Detroit is. Who's expecting the same from the Pistons? Since that three-overtime epic with New Jersey in Game 5 of the second round, Detroit has reached the 90-point plateau only once in eight games. The Pistons have been held below 75 points in four of those eight games. They can't blame all that on Indiana dragging them down.
5. The true value of playoff mojo. From a karma perspective -- something you always measure when the Zenmeister is coaching -- the Lakers have a huge edge ... even though Kobe has no court-to-court Colorado trips scheduled in the championship round. Phil Jackson teams are a sparkling 9-0 in the Finals. L.A. also hasn't lost a home playoff game yet this spring, and has the home-court advantage for the first time since the first round. The Pistons, furthermore, will have to overcome the standard dose of East vs. West inferiority, although I've maintained since 'Sheed's arrival that Detroit is the only Leastern outfit with West size. Does any of the above really matter? Sadly for the Pistons ... yup. My advice to them: You better steal Game 1 if you harbor any realistic hope of taking this series past five games. Jackson is a mere 44-0 in playoff series when his team has any kind of lead in a series: 1-0, 2-1 or 3-2. That's Forty-four and Oh. So, yeah: If the Pistons lose Sunday's opener, they're basically toast.
6. What happens next with the Lakers. Sure. I'm just as curious as anyone to see how the Zenmeister reacts when he wins that 10th ring to pass Red Auerbach ... and how Mailman and GP are going to soak in winning their first rings ... and the look on Kobe's face when he finally makes it to the end of this unprecedented circus ride of a season by winning his fourth championship in five years. Those will all be big stories. However ... the really good stuff is what happens after these Finals. That's when we start finding out how many of these guys will be back with Shaq next season.

Landscape and architecture meet at Sudbury Design Group
Nestled in the woods along Old Post Road in Sudbury, Massachusetts, and surrounded by glorious fall color, Sudbury Design Group's headquarters was the perfect setting for Design New England's fifth Design Salon of the fall series. Hors douerves were served and guests mingled amidst the showrooms and drafting tables of the landscape company's offices, and, since the night was warm, the crowd spilled onto the outdoor deck, where the autumn foliage and plantings created a quintessential New England backdrop. It was a lovely segue to the evening's topic, House and Garden: Where landscape and architecture meet.
For the presentations, the crowd walked across the driveway to the Wayside Carriage House Inn where the more than 40 attendees could sit in one large room and listen, watch, and, we hope, learn.
Michael Collins of D. Michael Collins Architects in Natick, Massachusetts, gave great insight as to how the architectural design of a home is informed by the site. He explained how the effects of the environment must be worked into the design, and that meticulous attention to detail is often what makes a home fit into its location. This was the case for a seaside home with many environmental limitations that Collins designed, as well as for a home with a farmhouse sensibility set on several acres of rolling hills and woods.
Landscape architect Michael Coutu, president of Sudbury Design Group, described his role in optimizing how a house relates to its environment. He discussed how the style of the architecture influences the style of the landscape. A formal Federal house requires a certain formality in the landscape, for example, while a country house might call for a more relaxed design. The materials on each might differ as well, brick walks for the former and natural stone for the latter. He concurred with all the other speakers that the key to a successful outcome is collaboration among the design team, the trade professionals, and the clients. This communication, he says, maintains consistency in the design both inside and outside.
Among those collaborators is the interior designer. As Eliza Tan of Eliza Tan Interiors in Acton, Massachusetts, explained it, she often takes cues from the exterior views when determining her designs. Window treatments, furniture placement, even architectural finishes will be affected by what is seen through windows and doors. A kitchen that looks out onto a beautiful private backyard, or a living room that faces ocean views may not require much in the way of window treatments, for example. In the best collaborative situations, each member of the design team evaluates the elements of the home from his or her own perspective and then works with the other team members to arrive at a cohesive end result.
Of course, an essential member of the team is the builder who will execute the plan that architect, landscape architect, interior designer, and client have laid out. An expert perspective on that part of the process came from David Dankens of M.F. Reynolds Inc. in Medford, Massachusetts, a 120-year-old company that specializes in construction and renovations. One project he shared was a pavilion that is used as an outdoor living and entertaining space in the warm weather. Set away from the main residence in an open meadow, the structure is exposed to the elements 12 months a year. Dankens and his team had to consider whatever Mother Nature might have in store when choosing materials and executing building techniques. The result was a beautiful structure that would survive hurricanes and blizzards, while graciously respecting its surrounding.
The sixth and final Design Salon in the fall series will be Tuesday October 30 at Venegas and Company, a kitchen showroom in the Boston Design Center. The topic is Problems Solved: Fresh new ideas and products for great design.
An insider's look at must-have products, fresh trends, and inspired spaces from the team at Design New England magazine.
Gail Ravgiala is editor of Design New England and a fan of both the region's historic architecture and its growing inventory of modern houses and public buildings.
Courtney Kasianowicz is associate editor of Design New England who scouts the area for new design, charming products, and local artisans both innovative and daring.

Bruce Irving, Design New England's contributing editor for architecture & building, is a renovation specialist who will share his insights on design and construction.

94 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Opaque ruby. Aromas of boysenberry, blueberry, pipe tobacco, smoky spices and olive. Very rich but surprisingly energetic, offering sweet dark berry compote flavors and exotic floral and tobacco notes. The spiciness returns on the finish, which is sappy, impressively focused and extremely long. This has opened up significantly since bottling and looks very promising." (Jan/Feb 2010) 94 points Wine Spectator: "Shows the zesty loganberry, raspberry and boysenberry fruit of the vintage with added depth and flesh, while black tea, pastis and briar notes fill in on the nicely grippy finish. There's impressive depth through the finish. Drink now through 2016." (WS Insider 1/27/10) 92-94 points Robert Parker: "Made in a lighter style, but still a full-bodied, powerful wine, the dark purple-hued 2007 Ermitage Le Pavillon reveals aromas of creme de cassis, black truffles, cold steel, and crushed rocks. Dense and tannic, with good acidity, resounding richness, and a substantial finish, it is a top-notch effort that should evolve for three decades." (04/09)

The Blue Whale is a must-see for any Route 66 buff. I can't imagine that anyone ever swam in the pond, but I guess times were different. There are some nice picnic tables and some kids were fishing when we stopped by in August.[April N, 12/05/2014]

In much of the world, production of corn, wheat, rice and soybeans is failing to meet expectations.
Sending corn and soybeans abroad is just part of the equation when it comes to figuring out how we'll feed the projected 9 billion people on Earth by 2050.
Corn and soybean farmers are adding a cover crop season – whether they have cattle to graze on the green or not.
Farmland prices all over the Corn Belt have been sky-high lately, in part thanks to corn prices topping $8 a bushel.

About 2 million acres of Aquamax corn were planted across the Corn Belt this year, making it the first drought-resistant lineup to be widely available.
Our story begins where the drought does, at the Arkansas' headwaters and follows the river to its demise on sunbaked Kansas prairie.
Indiana's corn and soybean crop yields are some of the hardest hit in the U.S.
The worst drought in 25 years has caused the corn and soybean supply to dwindle. Is help on the way?
While economists fear what rising food costs might do to a weak global economy, they predict prices will fall by the end of the year.
At the beginning of the planting season, experts predicted a record-busting corn crop in 2012. That was before the drought changed everything.
Are you looking for something interesting to cook with corn? Try this rich chowder!
Grill up some ears of corn and spoon this rich creme over top.
Purdue economists say if conditions don't improve, Hoosiers will start to see prices increase at the supermarket.
With corn prices up about 27 percent in the past month and no sign of rain in Midwestern states, dry weather could force food prices across the country to rise.
It's spring along the Missouri River in Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas, and farmers are back on the land, trying to fix what nature broke.
With farmers expected to put in more acres of corn than they have since the Great Depression, this fall's harvest could be one for the record books.
A new study suggests high-fructose corn syrup is bad for brains as well as the rest of our bodies.

The Democrats on the whole were even happier. When Robert Byrd, former master-manipulator of Senate rules, comes out and says, echoing Benjamin Franklin, that they have ``kept the Republic,'' you know it is time, if not to fear for your country, then to fret heavily for it.
How did this come about? Just hours before the Gang of 14 hatched their compromise, Bill Frist had the votes for the nuclear option. Frist was going to lose five senators, and that would have meant a 50-50 tie broken by the president of the Senate, Vice President Dick Cheney, in favor of the Republicans.
The five losses were to be expected. Three were New Englanders: two from Maine (Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins) and one from Rhode Island (Lincoln Chaffee). No surprise here. They are a different kind of Republican, the almost extinct liberal Republican, and they might actually have been acting on principle.
Then there is John McCain, who is a party unto himself. Add to that John Warner, who decided to go against his party for what can only be called constitutional vanity. He sees himself as a lion of the Senate. He has been around for so long that perhaps he feels ownership, if not authorship, of the Constitution itself, and he allowed himself to be convinced by Byrd, an even older lion, that together they were saving it.
Had it remained at those five, the judicial filibuster -- the bastard child of Democratic bitterness over recent lost elections -- would now be banished.
Enter two latecomers, DeWine and Lindsey Graham, who were prepared to vote for the nuclear option but decided to cross the aisle and make the tough choice to join the lionized center. They both now say that if the Democrats start to filibuster again, they will defect back to the warm embrace of Bill Frist and go nuclear. Will they be willing to forfeit their newfound celebrity and stature as statesmen? That would be a profile in courage.

MSPS are to examine proposals to tackle the misuse of parking badges for the disabled.
The scheme provides parking concessions for people with severely restricted mobility who have difficulty using public transport.
A bill designed to strengthen enforcement of the blue badge scheme will be the subject of an inquiry by the Scottish Parliament's Local Government and Regeneration Committee.
Loading article content
Aberdeenshire West SNP MSP Dennis Robertson's Disabled Persons' Parking Badges (Scotland) Bill plans to give local authorities the power to cancel badges that have been reported lost or stolen and confiscate badges that are being misused.
It also proposes a review process for applicants when an application is refused on eligibility grounds.
Committee convener Kevin Stewart MSP said: "The misuse of the blue badge scheme can have a major impact on the lives of those who rely on the ability to use disabled parking spaces to access the everyday services that most of us take for granted.
"We want to hear from people about the impact such misuse has on their lives and whether the bill before us will make a difference.
"Measures such as confiscating and cancelling badges might appear extreme, and we will look carefully at the proposals before us to see if they really will have the desired effect of deterring misuse."
The committee has issued a public call for evidence on the issue.

Vintage 1960's 12kt gold filled brooch by Carl Art.
Carl Art was founded in 1936 (Providence, RI) and ceased operations in 1976.
Two interlocking ovals, each with a "bridge" of rhinestone baguettes (5mm each) in clear and pale blue.
I love this brooch...elegant with just the right amount of sparkle. Excellent condition but it does require polishing on a regular basis.
Brooch measures 1 7/8" by 1" or 48mm by 26mm
Signed CA with arrow and marked 1/20 12KT GF

I have animals in the house. I have tile floors and hard woods. Carpet in 2 bedrooms.. I orginally purchased to use in the kitchen and living room.. I have found that the suction is great on carpets too. So convenient to grab and go.. no struggle with electric cords. The battery life is great too . I can use all over with single charge .. 1800 Sq foot.. great suction!!! Works better than my old big vacuum! !Read More
Finally-a light weight Vac
I bought this vacuum after seeing my sister in Florida using hers. We both hate bulky heavy vacuums and this one only weighs 7 lbs. and does floors and rugs. I will admit it doesn't have the lifting and strong power of my large vacuum (which I ofcorse still have) but this is just the thing for my more often cleaning. It also travels up and down the stairs easy. I like the weight, design and overall everything about it. I got a great deal but have noticed there was only one at the price I paid. Too bad. Still a great buy.Read More
Love Love Love
I have been searching for a nice cordless vacuum for a long time. This one exceeds my expectations so far. I have all tile, laminate and some area rugs and this works awesome on all. It can clean my whole house twice on one charge, but I do only have 800 square feet. It is light weight, has a swivel head and holds a lot before it needs to be dumped. Also so so easy to dumb the trap out. Just push a button on the bottom of the pull out tank and it falls out into the trash. I really can't say anything bad about this and the price is awesome too!! Also I have a dog and 2 cats and it picks up their hair out of the area rugs really well.Read More

I was uneasy about buying a cordless vacuum. I was very wrong about this . I use this on all floors. Goes from hardwood to carpet easily. It has a large pick-up container. Only problem is battery life, l can only use it for 15 minutes before needing recharge.Read More
Great cordless vacuum!
I love this vacuum for quick cleaning my hard wood floors, tile flooring and my bedrooms with carpet. It last long enough for me to use for the entire bottom floor before a charge is needed. Also, very easy to clean. Love not having to drag out the 20 pound vacuum.Read More

Looking for a lightweight vacuum with power to clean----This seems to have the features I'm looking for.
I have researched this item and it has gotten numerous favorable reviews. This is the best price I have seen.
I previously purchased an ELECTROLUX , it lasted 2 years and died. To replace the battery coswts over 100.00 I wasnmot ready to go that route again. The reviews on the shark look promising so here goes' I am not seeing the discount of 10 %...why was that not applied.
I have 2 Shark Vacuums and really like them.
We like Shark - light, convenient, cordless, predictable!
I have arthritus in both shoulders. I need a light weight vacumn in order to do my cleaning. I have another one,, but it's too heavy for me to push around, and extremely painful. My son has a Shark and he said they are wonderful.

This article appeared in the June 14, 2010 World Cup preview issue of ESPN The Magazine. You can find all content from that issue in the right sidebar or by clicking here.
To better explain the essence of a hockey scrum -- spontaneous, post-whistle dustups in front of the net that increase in frequency, intensity and importance during the NHL playoffs -- Philadelphia Flyers coach Peter Laviolette has graciously agreed to punch me square in the face.
But first, Laviolette targets my brain. They may look chaotic and barbaric, but scrums are a critical and strategic part of the game, and they unfold and escalate according to hockey's venerated, unwritten rules of engagement. To demonstrate this complex chain, Laviolette begins by shoving me in the chest, kinda hard. I respond by shoving him back, a little harder. Which seems to please him. "Ah, but now because you did that I'm gonna punch you in the jaw," says Laviolette, who won a Cup with the Carolina Hurricanes in 2006. "Then one of your teammates is gonna come get me -- and on it goes from there. This time of year, when everyone gets around the goaltender and bodies start flying, the scrum can be the most heated part of the game."
As well as the most revealing. This deep into the playoffs, with so much at stake and so little room for error, teams simply can't risk a two- minute disadvantage for instigating a fight. Instead, they navigate the legal gray area of the scrum to assert themselves physically, defend their turf, send messages, agitate opponents and, sometimes, change the momentum of a game or even an entire series.
To the untrained eye these scrums may look like 10 unshaven guys pawing and cursing one another in an ice-covered mosh pit. And, yes, scrums do occasionally result in salty language, finger-biting and worse. But there's much more going on than just eye-gouging and jersey- twisting. This isn't Roller Derby. Hockey scrums follow a specific, strategic, choreographed and interconnected blueprint of proliferation.
It's a complicated and illuminating code. And one that the Chicago Blackhawks and Flyers will master if they want to raise the Stanley Cup.
Or they could just follow along here.
The Whistle Blows
Play stops and bodies smash up like cars crashing in front of the net, battling over the most important territory on the ice -- the goal crease. "Turf is a big thing in hockey, and guys take it very seriously," says Ross Bernstein, president of the board of directors of the Herb Brooks Foundation and author of The Code: The Unwritten Rules of Fighting and Retaliation in the NHL. "Scrums are unique to hockey in the way they allow teams to use a form of frontier justice." After defending the crease, the ultimate goal of players in every scrum is to see what you can get away with. That is, how much can you rattle, provoke and intimidate your opponent while flirting with the boundaries of the rule book and the ref's patience?
The Verbal
What players call chirping almost always involves some variation of questioning a rival's manhood; if it's deemed over the line, it can trigger a physical response. In last year's playoffs, for instance, Caps defenders in close quarters with Sidney Crosby asked why he wasn't man enough to skate down the middle of the ice. "The term 'chickens---' gets used a lot, as well as the P-word," says ESPN analyst Matthew Barnaby, an agitator extraordinaire for 15 years in the NHL. "There's nothing off-limits. I talked about moms, wives, girlfriends, dogs, anything to get guys to retaliate."
The Goalie
Goalies are untouchable. Period. It's partly a turf thing but it also has to do with the goalie being unable to protect or defend himself. When scrums immediately escalate into full-blown donnybrooks, it's almost always because someone sprayed the goaltender's face with snow, took an extra whack at a frozen puck or had steamrolled the goalie and run him into the back of the net. "Touching the goaltender is like whacking a made guy in the mob," says Bernstein. "There will be immediate and severe consequences."
Protected Players
It's also a big no-no to take a whack at a veteran star, a skill player or a captain. Just ask former Flyer Todd Fedoruk, who, in 2007, got knocked out by Rangers enforcer Colton Orr after he roughed up All-Star Jaromir Jagr.
Players are supposed to pair up in an honorable fashion according to size and fighting skill. Enforcers grab enforcers. Grinders tie up with grinders. Captains and stars latch onto their own kind. When the dance partners aren't equal, players are expected to come to each other's defense. Scrums, then, are the lab where teammates build chemistry by learning, under fire, who has their back and who won't, in hockey parlance, "show up" when needed.
Clean Tactics
If the matchups are equal, then grabbing, holding, neutralizing and impeding someone's movement are acceptable, nonescalating forms of physical contact in a scrum. If retaliation is commensurate to the initial offense, scrums tend to fizzle.
Target Injuries
Players' aches and pains are fair game. This is why teams treat injuries like state secrets -- to keep guys like Barnaby from targeting them in scrums. "The first thing I'm gonna do in a scrum, once the ref isn't looking, is slash that hurt ankle, poke those broken ribs and stick my glove on those stitches in his face," says Barnaby. "I know it hurts like crazy and I know he's probably gonna lose his cool and come after me and try to get me back, which is exactly what I'm hoping for."
The Dirty Tactics
Most are obvious and provoke instant retaliation: sacking (targeting the testicles); slew-footing, or kicking a player's skates out from under him; hair-pulling; eye-gouging; finger-biting. Biting, though, seems open to interpretation. "My stance is: keep your finger out of my mouth if you don't want that to happen," says Philly defender Chris Pronger.
Target Face
Punching someone in the face is the point of no return in a scrum and an indication events have escalated into a penalty situation. Knowing this, players use a variety of tricks and techniques to walk that fine line between intimidation and incarceration, finding ways to make painful contact with an opponent's melon without actually throwing a punch.
Face Wash
Going after an opponent by stiff-arming the scratchy, smelly palm of the glove over his nose and mouth is the ultimate gesture of disrespect. "There simply is no bigger F-U in hockey," says Bernstein. "There's just something so disrespectful and condescending, and it's so ingrained in players that it just flicks a switch." If that doesn't work, a GAS MASK is a face wash where the free hand is placed on the back of the neck, thereby smothering the victim in a stinky, sweaty vice. A turkey neck is when a player face washes someone from behind with enough force to yank him backward and down to the ice. A helmet tip creates a "Who turned out the lights?" effect by moving the helmet over someone's eyes and face. During a dustup late in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals, Pronger pulled off an extremely rare and impressive one-handed face-wash-helmet-tipped-turkey-necking on Hab Tomas Plekanec.
Turn The Other Cheek
Most of the immediate tactics in a scrum are meant to manipulate a player's ego to provoke him into drawing a penalty. Often, then, the most effective weapon in a scrum is the ability to keep your cool. "The trick is to not overreact to anything," says Pronger. "The game has become so much more about discipline, even in scrums. If a guy punches you in the head, you just have to take it and look at the ref and go, 'You're not gonna call that?' " Players often employ humor at this stage to keep their cool while sending their opponent over the edge. After a skirmish at the end of a 5-1 blowout in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals, the victorious Habs' Michael Cammalleri stuck his tongue out at an enraged Daniel Carcillo of the Flyers. In these situations Ducks enforcer George Parros likes to announce, in a loud voice, that the guy he's tangling with needs to brush his teeth between periods because he has bad breath. "There's nothing worse than a guy who gets you and then starts laughing in your face," says Barnaby. "Guys still tell me, 'It wasn't the stuff you did, it was that smile afterward that made us want to rip your head off.' "
Moving, redirecting, hitting or other aggressive, alpha-type gestures require some form of measured, equal retaliation, but rarely turn into full-blown melees and a conga-line to the penalty box. As long as both parties feel they've adequately defended their turf, most scrums fizzle on their own accord. "It's all about standing your ground," says the Flyers' Danny Briere. "It's about doing enough to show the other team you're not backing down, without drawing a penalty."
When the retaliation is greater than the initial offense, the scrum moves into an intense, escalating loop of aggression that usually ends with equal penalties. Here's basically how it goes: If you hit our goaltender or captain, then we will crowbar your kidneys with a stick. You'll push us. We'll push back, only harder and probably in the face. That will require you to turkey neck one of our guys until we've all chirped, yanked and muscled our way into the corner, where there's nowhere else to go.
This is the aforementioned line of demarcation in a scrum, the sign that action has ratcheted up to the point of no return. Someone's going to the penalty box.
What Did The Ref See?
"All sorts of stuff happens under that pile after everyone's been pushed together," says Parros. "You can get away with quite a lot, actually." As scrums develop, referees hover, trying to identify instigators and watching for unwarranted acts of retaliation or escalation. The linesmen move in, get between combatants and begin offering warnings such as, "Okay, boys, we're done now, it's over," or "The next guy who does something is getting the two." At this point, the refs are defending their own turf and they tend to react when players challenge their authority. Although usually, says Parros, "guys get sick of staring at each other and just skate away."
Turn The Other Cheek, Part II
This is the critical point of a scrum. Someone's headed to the penalty box, but can the offended party subjugate his own machismo enough to not retaliate and draw a matching penalty? If so, his team gets the ultimate tactical reward from a scrum: a man advantage. "When you goad a guy into punching you in the face and he gets the penalty, it never hurts," says Barnaby. "And if you score during the power play, it actually feels good."
The Fight
If action has escalated equally and the refs are unable to diffuse the situation, then two players have a go and serve equal time in the box. Sometimes, no matter the consequence, fisticuffs can't -- or shouldn't -- be avoided. If your skill player or goaltender has been assaulted and no one comes to his defense in a scrum, your team has bigger issues than a penalty kill. "In the end, hockey scrums are a bit like the prison yard," says Bernstein. "Guys are gonna walk all over you and take liberties the rest of the game unless you first prove yourself in the scrums."

Replacement Disc Drive won't play games but will play movies
I had a 360 that would only play dvds not games so I replaced the disc drive and it does the same thing what should I do.
Is this a good question?
I had a 360 that would only play dvds not games so I replaced the disc drive and it does the same thing what should I do.
Is this a good question?
Did you buy the console used? If it was doing that when you bought it, than it may have a "Lost DVD Key." Xbox 360 DVD drives are "Married" to the motherboard of the console that they came with. If you simply replace a faulty drive with a working one, the console will not read game discs, only DVDs and CDs. You need to either repair the original drive, or swap it's controller board with a drive of the same model. (There are a few different drive variants, so you need a drive of the same model) If repairing the drive / putting it's controler board into an identicle drive doesn't solve your problem, there is really no possibility of regaining game functionality (unless the console is on a very old version of the dashboard, but I'll go into that more, if it's nessicary)

Unfortunately, you can't just swap dvd drives in an xbox 360 and have them work. You have to replace with the same type of drive and retrieve the dvd key from the original drive and spoof it to the new drive. It sounds harder than it is, but it does require hooking your xbox drive to a desktop computer with a via sata pci card.

The problem is not only that the drive and motherboard are cryptographically married.
There seem to be a lot of checks being made between drive and motherboard, that will cause your console to not being able to update if you have a replaced drive.
The last update in spring 2011 was specifically made to detect modified drives, and in turn a lot of consoles with swapped out drives would not be able to finish the update, as the altered firmware on the replaced drive was not properly flashable by the update.
So essentially, if you want to continue to play the latest games, that require an updated firmware, do NOT attempt a self repair.

I had the same problem, where my DVD drive wouldn't play anything at all. I swapped drives and movies would play but not games. So I swapped the Printed Circuit board from the old drive to the new and it worked just as new and no need to flash. Just make sure your replacement DVD Drive is the same model as your old. There's tons of you tutorials on how to swap PCB on youtube. Keep in mind that some models involve soldering but thats easy as well. NOTE: My Xbox in the old FAT one NOT the slim. No sure if this would work on a slim.

You can't swap the drive without extracting the key from the old drive and flashing it onto the new one. This is a service I repair (UK based) as a mail in service. If you want any more information you can email me at email@example.com.
Swapping the PCB is possible but it's easier to just replaced the laser.
Was this answer helpful?
You can just swap the drive, you just have to make sure you swap the old drive pcb into the new drive (requires a bit of soldering). As everyone has said, the pcb is married to the motherboard so it needs to stay with that console. Yes it's easier to just swap the laser over. Gotta make sure it's the same kind of drive though.

Chiropractor pleads guilty in drug case

McLEAN, Va. -- A Virginia chiropractor who treated members of the Washington Capitals pleaded guilty Tuesday to misdemeanor steroids charges in Florida.

Unfortunately American Airlines are non profit ventures thanks to a pre-deregulation union structure for outflows (Expenses) and a post-regulation market for inflows (Revenues).
And one more thing....
With air travel in such a shambles maybe this country will finally invest in the infrastructure necessary to support high speed rail. It's an embarassment that so many countries around the world are so much more advanced in this area of transport than the US.
I will be traveling to Egypt next week for vacation but do not expect to travel domestically by air for some time. I plan to restrict my air travel to international airlines only because the American airlines are completely broken. Despite inconvenience to the customer of cancelled flights, consistent delays, baggage fees and fuel fees, customer service has reached new lows. The one bright spot for domestic air travel is the addition of Virgin America.
Your guest pointed out that, while fuel-efficient and clean automobile technologies are well on their way towards the market, there are no promising such technologies for the airline industry. One such technology that nobody seems to have mentioned is "lighter-than-air", i.e. dirigibles, a technology that's been around for a hundred years and is considerably cleaner and more fuel-efficient than getting lift from an airfoil. Its main disadvantage is travel speed.
I fly a few times a year, and this past year I have been delayed so long I could have gotten to my destination by car faster than I arrived by plane. After the last trip that included an overnight in Atlanta, I have decided that I will be making more road trips unless there is an ocean involved.

Something about this photo just stopped me dead in my tracks. Of course I am a sucker for Cross Flag emblems and I like a highly-polished paint job. Perhaps it was the blue contrasting with the colors of the flags and the reflections of the clouds. Whatever the case, I thought it was worth sharing. Extra credit is given for those who can name the year(s) of the Corvette this emblem was used.

My new Think Again column is called "When Books Disappear" and it's here.
And I appear to be in the news: (From the NY Daily News, at a luncheon for The Giants on Wednesday):
While the luncheon brought out a bipartisan crowd, there was a little Republican-Democrat friction when the Nation columnist Eric Alterman approached Bill O'Reilly to thank him for apologizing on-air in 2004 for calling Alterman a "Fidel Castro confidant." (On a later show, O'Reilly sarcastically claimed he was "foolin' around.") Alterman says "O'Reilly responded by twice saying, "Get away from me," and eventually summoning a handler to intervene. O'Reilly told us there was "no run-in," but Alterman said, "I'm beginning to think that maybe he wasn't all that sorry."
And while this was not in the news, this really did happen Wednesday night:
There was a reception in Soho for Steve VZ's new Netflix series. I had a close friend in town, who happened to have been my volunteer intern for the Bruce book, but is now a macher in the TV biz and he took me out to dinner. Since it was his business to develop such shows, he did not want to "work" and so we did not make the screening but as I thought it would be interesting to see who was at the party, I said let's eat down there.
So we did and when we were done, we walked by the hotel and the screening wasn't over, so I asked the girl at the door if I could see the list of who had come to it so I could decide whether to wait the ten minutes until the reception started. I couldn't believe it when I saw the name "Bruce Springsteen" with a check next to it.
So we went downstairs and Steve was waiting for it to end and we waited with him and then everyone came out and Bruce and Steve took photos with Tony Bennett (and David Chase and other Soprano types) and then I waited and introduced myself and thanked him for the lyric permissions I had gotten from him for my new book, (of which I'm pretty sure he had no idea) and he said "Hey, thanks for all your terrific writing in The Nation all these years" (or something like that) and then we talked for about 10-12 minutes, about lots of stuff, including our daughter's respective tastes in music—I told him she was much bigger on Kanye and Jay Z than on him–and happily, I refrained from gushing but did find a way to congratulate him on being the only goy who had made it into my kid's Bat Mitzvah service.
It was the second time I've met him but the first time we spoke and it couldn't have gone better. I broke off the conversation after telling him I didn't want to talk to him too long lest he say something that might screw up my relationship to the music. He liked that too, I think.
That's all. Great guy, Bruce…. He's playing the Apollo for Sirius Radio on March 9 if anyone has tickets and wants to take me. If not maybe you should buy the book.

So your saying that Rand Paul is more willing to support and embarrasse his father than the Republicans? Your in left field here!
To: Kami: Utah's Park City/Deer Valley area is a tourist area. People visit it year round from all over the world! So there is no snow. What ski area anywhere in the US has snow now? None! It's a nice area. Better than those rich fat cat Democrats coming to Hollywood/LA eating in 20 million dollar homes raising tens of millions all the while tying up traffic for real working Americans for hours at a time!
P.S. Most Californians visiting Park City are probably non-LDS. If us regular people like Park City why wouldn't these folks? Or is it the Mormons you don't care for?
To: Furry 1993: Do you realize how many days Obama has taken off of work this year to come to California to fundraise and around the nation too? 151 Fundraisers.
As far as milking Utah. If you look at the fundraising supporting Romney its higher in TX,MA,NY,MI,NV,FL,CA. So Utahn's donate so what? Obama has failed!

For those of you who claim Mr. Romney only meets with the fat cats and not the
rest of us think again! Before most every single engagement the past year Mr.
Romney has held private meetings with small groups of us regular Americans to
really see and hear what is going on. Hundreds of meetings have been held across
the country.
Not your supposed fat cats(like the Democrats don't have fat cats), just those of us who have expressed concerns. Mr Romney sits and listens intently asks probing questions and keeps the meetings quiet so those who meet can say their peace without reprecussions from the media, unions and the Democrat party.
The media on the left ran a story calling these Secret Meetings just because the media was not invited. How twisted it gets.
So many of you argue against Mitt Romney when the reality is you really do not know what he has said or stands for! You just read and listen to the left sided hate mongers like Maddow, Schultz, Bashir, Mahar and Matthews.
How many pages is the Health Care Law? 2,500 or 12,700 pages now? 12,700 pages of Regulations!

Don17, you could not have said it better. We don't know what Romney really stands for. In the primaries, he was the fartthest right of the right on immagration. Yestuerday, not so much. He needs to stop having secret meetings, and start telling us what he will actually do. We have got from Romney everything with his opponant. Now is the tme to start telling what he will actually do - in public - so we can all know.
One story. One version. Plain and simple. Se we can all know. Enough secret meetings. Enough destroyed hard drives. Enough.

Whoa. All Starter Pokémon of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova and Kalos Regions, really cool. I think I like it.
