I let another clyde friend have my Raleigh C30 leaving me with the two surly's, a L.H.T. and steamroller . Not much to tinker with on these bikes just standard maintenence . Following the Bikeforums forula of the perfect number of bikes being the numbers you have plus one (N+1) , and needing a tinkering project . I was wandering around the local flea market when a bright orange ross caught my attention. I know most ross bikes low middle grade bikes . But the price was pocket change and except for the front shifter every thing was there . After I got it home I noticed nearly all componets were shimano deore a little net searching showed this
Tires and a front shifter and this bike is good to go

my favorite bib short ever
By simon from Stamford, NY on 4/21/2016
Fit: TRUE
this is a very comfy, very rideable bib short. the elastic hems are a great gentle mix of grippy and snappy, the side panels are this almost snakeskin texture that feels like a second skin (i'm not reptilian, tho) and the bib part is ergonomic. looks great too, great design on this one. i've had a few castelli bibs in my life, some hit some miss, but this one hits it out of the park. note: i got medium even though i'm 5'10", 165#, size 31 waist. so sizing may be a bit small if a size 31 waist would expect to go small.

Your go to bike shorts
By Graceful Fox from Monterey, CA on 11/11/2015
I've had these shorts for over a year. They're my favorite. So I bought a pair for my boyfriend. Good fit and length. They're durable and don't ride up your leg when riding.
Feels great. Very comfortable and functional
By Tim from Baltimore, Maryland on 9/26/2015
Fine product. Great fit
Love these!
By DP from Cape Cod, MA on 9/25/2015
These bike shorts are just what I was looking for. They are comfortably padded and long, almost to the knee, in my case. They make my long rides more enjoyable.

Great value
By crankybaker from Dallas, TX on 9/16/2015
I like these shorts a lot. Love the fact that they are a little bit shorter than the standard shorts, and the fit at the waist is perfect. Nice amount of padding. A nice product at a nice price.
Great fit!! Especially for the petite!
By Lynne from Los Angeles, CA on 9/9/2015
Great fit!! Especially for the petite! Most (if not all other) cycling shorts are just pretty long on my leg and the tan line just looks so bad when wearing normal shorts or a skirt. Not these! Going to order two more pair!
canari womens hybrid extra cycling shorts
By jayne from texas on 8/26/2015
They fit great! Be aware that the breathable mesh panels in the front are see thru.
Love them!
By Claudia from Scottsdale, AZ on 8/11/2015
They look cool and fit me perfectly (5'7" and 125 pounds, I got the small) once I manage to pull them up :-). Love the chamois, very very comfortable and they wick away moisture UNLiKE the LG Equipe Motion black/purple I bought at the same time: i live in Arizone and ride in 100+ degrees and with the LG's I felt like I was sitting in a puddle ... Not much moisture wicking going on with that fabric. Also the LG are much tighter around the thigh. Get the Castelli and be happy! I am. Oh, and neither of them roll down on me, they stay right on my hips.
Kept me warm
By Chele76 from Connecticut on 6/29/2015
Fit: TOOSMALL
A teeny bit snug, but did good job keeping me warm.
Comfy and kept me warm
Comfy, sizes well, kept me warm. Did its job! Very happy.
Great Jersey
By JerMorrow from Cincinnati, OH on 6/11/2015
The jersey is fantastic. Lightweight, but high quality material. It's fitted and sort of tight, so I would recommend ordering a size up if you're between sizes or at the top end of the band mentioned in the size chart.
It's a cool jersey
By kmcgraw from Ft. Collins on 6/2/2015
this product is sweet, I like the zippered pocket, it is very convenient. Feels comfy.
really works
By Ernie from Covington, LA on 5/30/2015
Definitely true and it worked as advertised. I sprayed some water on the arm coolers when air temps reached over 90 degrees and I could notice a big difference as it cooled my arms. I do recommend this product without a doubt.
Runs very large!
By Jb from New York on 5/25/2015
Fit: TOOBIG
I generally wear a medium in cycling shorts but found the M huge. Returned them for a small and they are still a little big.Nice padding and comfortable for a modest price

too small
By KB from FL on 3/23/2015
I ordered small, my usual size, but they fit too tight in the crotch and fit well everywhere else so I suspect the next size up will be too big. Have to return. Otherwise feel like they would have been great. Seems like good quality material.
I would definitely buy these again
By CaityPop from Philly, PA on 2/20/2015
I have quite a few pairs of high end shorts and bibs but the last century I did, I picked these. The chamois is really thin, which I like. Sometimes too much padding actually causes more chafing. They're also thin, keep you cool, and the seems have a nice slimming effect.
Nice shorts, small leg room
By Suzy Moots from WEST CHESTER, PA on 12/6/2014
Marking these as too small simply because the leg bands constrict my legs. Snausage my friends & I joke. The butt, waist, etc. are great.
You don't know you need it until you use it!
By MermaidOP from oak park, IL on 11/17/2014
This is the first time I've used, let alone ordered, arm warmers; I am pleasantly surprised at their usefulness. The interior is fleecy so its warm and cozy It's a good fit and is easy to get on and off. Best of all it does keep the arms warm. I wear them under a base layer. What a difference now. I can layer so much more effectively and yet keep the arms warm which always felt cool while riding. I'd give it a 5 if I could compare to other products but I've only used leg warmers (way back in time) when dancing.
quality product. I have several pair
By Susie from Lake Forest CA on 11/11/2014
I bought a medium last time and after a bit they were too big. The small is just slightly snug in the beginning - but stretches out. Love these cycling shorts!!
I like this brand
By Anastasio from El Paso TX on 10/23/2014
Very nice fit
Great Price and fast shipping
By Meg7ster from Redding CA on 9/25/2014
Fit: NA
Excellent fit if you get one size larger.
Really comfortable
By Mtb500 from PA on 9/25/2014
I'm 6'3" and 190 lbs. Ordered the large and it fits great. Definitely long enough on my legs which I always want since I'm tall. Also provides a nice amount of compression which I was also looking for. Don't notice them during rides which means they're working. Pad is comfortable and drawstring waist is a nice touch if you need to adjust.
little compression
By Carie O. from Rogers, AR on 9/24/2014
I'm 5"3" and about 125 pounds. I bought these (size M) because I thought the short inseam would work for my short frame. I'm very disappointed in the thin quality of the shorts. There is little to no compression, which is ok if that's what you want. They just felt really loose and cheap on me. The pad was great, and the waistband was comfortable, but they are just not for me.
good quality
By AZcyclist from Chandler AZ on 9/6/2014
The front of the bib is a little higher than expected (bio break issue) but all else is good. It is In-r-cool like my PRO bibs but is a lighter fabric. I do like the mesh upper.
My favorite bib shorts
By jjm from PORTLAND, OR on 9/5/2014
Fits well, no chaffing, wicks well, very comfortable on long rides.
By Thomas T. from Minneapolis, MN on 8/15/2014
These have to be the most comfortable bicycling short I've owned! I especially like that the padding doesn't stick out in the rear when not in riding position.
I ordered the correct size, based on the sizing chart. When I first tried them on, I thought they were too tight. But then I read that they're supposed to fit extra-tight. After wearing them on a couple of rides, they seemed to mold to my body.
bike shorts
By Dina S. from Mt. Gilead , OH on 7/27/2014
I haven't had bike shorts for a long time so I took the plunge. They fit well and have a flattering length. The gel pad is a nice size to protect against those sore pressure points you get the first times out on a bike. It made it easy to get psyched to ride again. Gel is not breathable, so be sure to hang them up after the ride!
Top shelf jersey. I highly reccomend Hincapie products.
By Love to cycle from Colorado on 7/26/2014
I believe Hincapie produces some of the highest quality cycling apparel in the industry. The Hincapie Nitro jersey and bib shorts, exceed in fit, quality, look, and feel. The stretch mess panels on the sides allow for a dialed in fit, and do well at heat transfer and sweat management. The unrivaled TourTek fabric is aerodynamic and silky smooth. I am 5'8'' 150lbs, and the small fits like it was tailored perfectly to me. I currently own five Hincapie jersey/bib short combos (kits), and I have never been disappointed. Everyone has a personal preference on fit. I personally like cycling apparel that hugs/contours to the body, and is very comfortable. This jersey meets both requirements. The fabric stretches well, and does have a compressive/elastic quality. So even if you are not in the mint cycling shape you desire (like myself), you should not have problems. Pull up Hincapie's website for sizing information if you are unsure.
perfect fit, king pad is wider then most pads and very comfortable
By JAB from Moraga, CA on 7/8/2014
I had one pair of Canari bib shorts with the King pad and the King pad is slightly wider than most pads which fits me just fine. Purchased two of these and they fit great and are very comfortable. Will use them for the CA Death Ride on 7/12/2014.
Runs small
By Mic from San Diego on 7/7/2014
These run on the small size. I usually wear a XS but had to go with a S in these and the upper arm is tight. Also to short, they end above my wrist. But I like the lightweight fabric.
The best cycling gloves!
By RobinG from Saratoga Springs, NY on 7/7/2014
These are the best, most comfortable cycling gloves! I have a few pairs and they wash very well too. Other gloves have given me pain between my fingers when braking on downhills, but, these are great!
great shorts
By Karen W. from MI on 7/5/2014
The leg elastic is very comfortable - no muffin tops above the bands, the fit was excellent, though I think I could have gotten away with a medium instead of a large. The high waist high and padding is excellent for long rides.
Good shorts
By David from NY on 6/29/2014
Dont go by the sizing chart. While accurate in principle, the XL was too loose and I should have just gotten the large that I usually get in shorts and it would have fit like a glove. Cant return it since I already wore it for a ride.Important fact about bibs: the strap length is crucial to a good fit, keeping the shorts in place without tugging them up all the time. Another not to get a bigger size if you're in doubt.
Pretty cycling skirt
By Mary from Mundelein, IL on 6/25/2014
Fits great and side slits ensure the skirt won't get stuck on the seat, like skirts that do not have a slit do! I love the colorful shorts that peek through the slits.
Love these socks.they feel great n look sexy
By P.J. from Sahuarita Az. on 6/10/2014
These socks are great. They're still in the package cause I received a small /medium n I wear a large. I love the material n they are sexy!
Comfortable and not too clingy
By Jo Ann from Lewiston, ID on 6/9/2014
I love this jersey. I wore it for an Olympic distance tri. The temperature was in the low 80"s. I never felt too hot. The material is thin and silky. The middle back pocket is sweatproof and the tag said the material provides SPF 50 protection. I normally wear a size medium shirt. I bought the XL as I was familiar with the sizing on this brand. I may have been able to wear a large but the XL was very comfortable and not too skin tight for me.
Non-thermal knee warmers
By Nancyr from Oakland, CA on 5/27/2014
Although I am a cyclist, I ordered these to wear with cloth shorts after double-knee replacement in late March since I can't expose my scars for one year. These are light weight, the perfect length and really the perfect material since they are not thermal. I will still wear these once I am back cycling again.
Great cycling shorts for quick or long rides.
By Robin from Culpeper, VA on 5/12/2014
I love these cycling shorts and have been ordering this exact pair over and over. No other short has been as comfortable or as flattering. The elastic-free waist and leg openings don't give you the sausage effect, yet they stay put. I've worn them on 40+ mile mountain bike rides and stayed comfortable. They run fairly true to clothing sizes, but compared to other cycling brands they seem to run a little larger. I'm a 5"4"-tall woman who isn't "skinny, and I wear the Medium 5.5".I dont often find bike shorts that I like, so when I find a great short, I feel compelled to spread the news. Enjoy!
By Amy from CA on 5/5/2014
Best Knickers! Love the fit, comfort and style! Long rides, short rides, doesn't matter! Will continue to purchase these for my cycling needs.
Great warm weather cycling top
By Cycling Gal from Ft. Lauderdale, FL on 4/18/2014
I chose this top in the coral color, which is pretty. I like Peal Izumi's bra liner as it has a typical bra closure in back that is adjustable. It runs a little long, but otherwise true to size.
Ample padding for spin bike seats
By Meg from Ashland, Virginia on 4/17/2014
I bought these primarily for use in spin class. They are exactly what I'd hoped, perfect length, comfortable waistband, and very ample padding for those unforgiving spin bike seats. Wish I could find them in other colors!
Very Comfortable Cycling Shorts
By Shogun from Adelaide, South Australia on 4/14/2014
These are the most comfortable cycling shorts I have worn. They fit great and provide great support during my 50 km rides.
Great Bike Shorts
By Glen from Tampa on 3/27/2014
After a few months of riding, think I should have ordered the X-large for my 36 waist cause the compression might be too tight. The padding is exceptional for my beginner seat--feels like a gel pad. The compression band on the legs is the best of the 3 brands of shorts I own. The waist band could be wider since it usually rolls down and over after a ride. Seems to wear well. Will try a larger size.
Great product for the price.
By David G. from Mission, TX on 3/6/2014
Great product if you're looking for a pair of shorts to train in, or just getting started in cycling. LG runs a little larger than other brands, so consult the sizing guide before purchasing.
perfect weight. Not bulky.
By Frederick M. from New York, NY on 12/28/2013
This is a gift for a former bicyclist. He is used to lightweight, not bulky
Great jacket
By Winter rider from Council Bluffs, IA on 12/1/2013
Put in 30 miles today starting out at 22f and ending at 32f with a 3 - 5 mph NE wind. Wore this jacket with a Craft Active crew neck long sleeve base layer and a thin long sleeve jersey underneath. Stayed nice and warm entire trip. Warm, wind resistant and great moisture management. I highly recommend this jacket as well as the Craft base layer.

PCV System Replacement
Dear Pelican BBS Boxster enthusiasts - I have a 2000 Boxster S with ~70K miles. I drive it about 7.5K miles each year for commuting to work. Recently, the car developed a ringing noise in the engine compartment upon cold start (like a fly wheel contacting another piece of metal at high speed) and emitting huge plumes of white smoke. I took it to a local shop I have used for several years and they informed me that the PCV system seals had failed. They said pressure developed in the engine forcing oil through and out the exhaust. The technician said that the smoke was white because the oil was condensed with water vapor in the engine. The PCV system needs to be replaced and the cost estimate was $1500, primarily due to 10 hrs. of labor. The shop also said that the mass O2 sensors may have been damaged by the oil and that a new catalytic convertor might also be needed. The ringing noise went unexplained. I should note that all this occurred after the same shop did a replacement of the motor and tranny mounts for me at a cost of ~$700. I am posting this message to see if any one else has experienced a similar problem with PCV seal failure and oil pressure issues. I am also interested to know if the time estimate for the system replacement is reasonable. The shop informed me that the car would need to go through several drive cycles after the PCV repair in order to determine if the mass O2 sensors were throwing readings. Thanks to all for any input./Dave Kaber

Hi Dave. Welcome to the forums! Two minutes after you post your question, I am here to assist!
What you might have here is an air-oil separator problem. This device sucks air out of the crankcase and then funnels it back into the engine intake so that fumes from inside the engine can be burned again, instead of being released to the atmosphere. It's an emissions device.
I have a complete article on replacing it right here: Pelican Technical Article: Boxster Air / Oil Separator Replacement - 986 / 987 Take a look at the article, and it should give you an idea of what is involved.
As for the replacement costs, 10 hours is completely ridiculous in my opinion. I'm thinking that your shop has never done this before, and is probably quoting you high to cover their butt. As for the 02 sensors, it's not so much that the O2 sensors get messed up, but the catalytic converters might too. What you need to do is to replace the air-oil separator unit and then run the car for several hundred miles to burn all of the crap out that may have entered the exhaust. Then you check to make sure that everything is working properly.
As for the loud "ringing noise", I have never heard this noise myself, but I am told that it's caused by air getting sucked into the engine through some of the seals. When the air-oil separator fails, it takes the intake manifold vacuum (which is quite powerful - it is used to power the power brakes for example), and starts sucking on the internals of the engine. This causes air to want to seep into the engine through various seals (which may be old and may have some areas where air can leak by). This intake vacuum on the engine case can cause this high pitched "whistle", as I have heard it most commonly described.
Let me know if you have any more questions!

AOS and tube replace. (This is the equivalent of the PCV system) Instructions available online. (I just got a quote for $695 parts and labor)
Throttle body clean. Get oil out of intake so you start getting clean exhaust to burn off the sensors and cats. Instructions available online.
Clear any codes
Run for a while...several heat and cool cycles and say 100 miles or so.
If you do need new O2 sensors, buy Bosch part(s) just like Porsche does (saves $, same part) and do it yourself or have a muffler shop do it for you ($50 labor for one)...but only do it if codes tell you you need to. (parts list available online)
Cats...probably not.

When I open the oil filler cap on my 986 there seems to be a little bit of pressure that's built up.
Would that be a failing AOS?

Nope. A little bit of vacuum is okay. Typically when the air oil separator fails, it produces vacuum that is so high that you often cannot even summon enough force to remove the oil cap.

helping TM'S & AFF C+ACHES TO WORK WITH PARALYZED SKYDIVERS...AN IDEA
Can't Post
I hope this is woth consideribng by the USPA & CSPA.
As I, started, Dale started and Pookie started within the last 2-3 yrs skydiving as people with lower limb disabilities-namely paralysis_ for the 1st time in a "larger" interest then before (my understanding is this anyways that until Tonto taught Peter, and a fellow in Qubec Canada no one has taken up skydiving without ever been a skydiver prior to paralysis (although Peter & Dale had done several dives prior but unlike Lonnie who had 1000 plus prior to his accident).
I've mentioned this to Angus prwviously and also. We discussed the fact that it clearly is "up to the TM & AFF/PFF coachers if they wish to venture into this realm".
Having said that, since me jumping we @ PST have had 2 other TM's jump with me and 2 more plan to give it a go this season (or was it 3?).
The point being, that I would like to see USPA & CSPA SPONSOR A SMALL COURSE FOR TM's who woud like to try this out in a "safer" environment-with current paralyzed skydivers.
This course should be "instructed" by very experienced TM's in this area-Angus & TK.
Perhaps there should 2 paralyzed "tandem passangers" of different levels of paralysis-like Pookie and I :)
(Yes I have a personal desire to see us jumping together-maybe a large company like Visa will sponsor this partially as they could use the footage (I would permit it-in exchange for Visa flying either Angus & to Zhills-perhaps best option since weather is more predictable & site is "world wide @opular_
Or TK & Pookie here to PST (e will have a special plane-i can't share what until DZO announces it but let's put it that it will be the only 1 of its kind in Canada!).
This way, those who wish to try it, can do so by teachers who are highly experienced in this field, and those coming to learn would benefit other DZ's because I know two paralyzed guys in chicago area who are booking tandems for sure "come hell or high water " they said.
I know some are reluctant & I understand.Also a young brave TM "chad" @ our DZ offered to do a tandem with me 2 yrs ago. Now he admitted this year he was "scared sh*tless" before we did it- but he sucked in his fear and realized we were doing fine together.
Him doing it with a person who CAN SKYDIVE" but is paralyzed helped to make the decision to try it out.
I would do the 2nd jump tied up in "mack straps" (we have them" and be acting like a true passanger like I had never jumped before.
This way the TM truly feels what it feels like & IF ANYONE WHO ALLREADY IS EXPERIENCED AFF/PFF COACH wants to try with me & pookie they could be 'wingman' with TK with Pookie & Angus with me.Finally to please the sponsors & their video opportunity they could pay the video guys 'hansomely' to get the "progression" on video-from a basic TM jump, to an AFF jump to me finally flying solo-this would fit in with VISA'S "branding" phrase "we make your dreams possible" & play it during the Paralympics in 2012.it would be awesome to get Dale over also-have us both do a 2-way or? And both land @ same DZ after one another-2 video guys following us-this would be great commercial for VISA since they are olympic and paralympic sponsors.I know there has been other skydiving commercials but this would really show 2 things-with determination and commitment/training IT IS POSSIBLE TO DO THINGS MANY WOULD THINK IS IMPOSSIBLE.(You have no idea how much tandems we've gotten because I always in public wear skydiving clothing, have my DZ "gear" (clothing, hats, caps, stickers on my chair).
It starts off with "did you skydive?", "did your accident happen during skydiving" & I tell them no not during skydiving, and that since I can't walk I decided to fly (and using Dales words about the fastest-hope you don't mind Dale) "fastest gimp in the world" type statement to "break the ice".
This has led to discussion on diving & I know 7 who have come to do a tandem & more who've come to watch (one all the way from Montreal- "to see if itz's really true what they heard".
The CSPA has kicked in $ for the 1sy women's tunnel camps making them over $100 cheaper & the USPA could be asked by USPA members (I was thinking of joining them just to be able to present this to them-but I think it is best told about by a USA citizen).
Those who want to try 1 AFF session with a "gimp" could do so as well.
Even if the outcome was to b a "no I don't like that feeling' (they could jump with me as their "student" since I won't flip, side spin, tumble etc on them-so it's the safest way to try)
It is worth a try I think.I would w,t a bigger sponsor (like Visa as their advert approach and their sponsoring the olympics etc. So massively)
To "foot the bill" of flying the participants into one location & to pay Angus & TK for their lost wages that weekend if they would be doing tandems.The USPA & CSPA could toss in the tickets to altitude for the participants as well as the coaaches & "gimps".
I think this would advance the sport profile (if Visa did the commercials-heck we coulkd have TK & Angus flying CRW with their logo canopies or with their logo flags on their legs for their landings).I ofcourse think its worth persuing because it is something I think will be more in need.
Even having more TM's having done a jump with " a gimp" may be helpful-it was @ PST. Even if they do not want to do it after the course.
If it was planned around a boogie of some sort @ either DZ it would be more appealing to come to.let's see peoples ideas on it and Angus' & TK' thoughts about it-hopefully CSPA & USPA officials read this @ share their ideas-even if its a NO WAY-NEVER!
At least I asked for input.

"The Window" Sheet
Hi all,
First, is it possible to change the Freeform game system to Freeform/The Window- or even create a game system called "The Window"?
Secondly- could I request (if it's not been requested before) a sheet for The Window?
I imagine (due to the simplicity of the game) that the sheet for The Window games might be only one page long.
There are one or two games running The Window here now- but in my time stalking The Weave I have seen multiple people (both long term players and newbies) running this system. Nautilus is currently one of the bigger names utilizing it right now.
It really is a brilliant system that assists in running a freeform to no small end.
Sorry if this is a lot to ask but it's a unique gaming system that really warrants its own love and care in the form of a sheet ;)
Is there an example sheet that you can perhaps link to?
1) It could probably get it's own system.
2) Add it to the list, and if someone has the time they will look at it. I will say this though, your chance of it actually getting done go above 0% if you supply a pdf or other example of what the sheet should look like.
I will personally draw you a copy of the sheet and scan it. Haha.
However if it's a formatted PDF you need I shall need to secure some Word/PDF wizards. Hmmm. I shall scout my resources.
Thanks for your help sir.
We need a picture to reference, basically. Explanations of how things work are also useful.
So I COULD hand draw you/sketch you an example of what I think the sheet needs to look like?
Could I put it in this thread for user review before asking you guys to do something with it?
Gaming Discussion might be a better spot, but basically, yes.
You guys are brilliant. I'll get something thrown together over the next few days/week and put it up in Gaming Discussion.
Thanks for your prompt response and assistance.
Okay. I've got the sheet sketched. But no scanner. Will scan it Monday at work and write you out a brief explanation of what would be useful in the sheet in terms of coding/linking to other cells/boxes.
Tried using PDF scanner on my phone but couldn't get the right focal point under both daylight and an L.E.D lamp. Dammit.
Quick question on a slightly related note.
If we do these steps for systems that are missing sheets will that assist the admins in rolling out new sheets more quickly? I would really like to see some of the 40k sheets and I would be happy to assist in explaining the sheets and laying them out if it helps.

Updated 5:35 p.m. ET on Monday, Feb. 11
The Eagles and QB Michael Vick agreed to terms on a restructured contract, allowing Vick to return for 2013, the team announced.
Vick was reportedly due $15.5 million in 2013 from the six-year deal he signed in August 2011. New Eagles head coach Chip Kelly decided he wanted Vick in the fold for his first season in Philly, and the two sides renegotiated a new deal. Per multiple reports, Vick's restructured contract is for three years, but the final two years void next March.
In 10 games last season, Vick threw 12 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He rushed for 332 yards and a score, but had 11 fumbles, losing five of them. Vick missed time with a concussion, as rookie Nick Foles took over as the starter, and Vick remained the backup after he was medically cleared. When Foles injured his hand in Week 16, Vick started the regular-season finale.
Since becoming a starter for the Eagles in 2010, Vick has thrown 51 touchdowns and 30 interceptions. He has not played a full 16-game regular season since 2006 with the Falcons.
"I am grateful and proud to be a Philadelphia Eagle. My heart is in Philly and this community is important to me," Vick tweeted.
Vick, who turns 33 in June, will likely compete with Foles to be the starter in 2013. There are rumors that the Eagles will also bring in QB Dennis Dixon, who played for Kelly at Oregon.
"The one thing that attracted me to Michael after visiting with him, he's a competitor," Kelly said at Monday's press conference. "I don't think Michael is afraid of anything. He wants competition. I've seen Nick up close and personal and I think Nick wants it too."

UH teaching fellows end sit-in, get more cashApril 8, 2013 Updated: April 8, 2013 10:06pm
Photo: Mayra Beltran, Staff
English Department teaching fellows at the University of Houston ended their sit-in Monday after UH Chancellor Renu Khator committed $1 million a year to improve their wages - potentially enough money to bring the roughly 70 teaching fellows up to the living wage for which they'd petitioned.

DelusionsPosted by: scott_nickell in Uncategorized
JI Packer is one of my favorite authors. I was most recently reading in his book "Rediscovering Holiness" that he believes Christians are often like patients in a hospital suffering from delusions. What he is trying to address is that while we often embrace the total sufficiency of what Jesus did for us on the cross and through his resurrection in regards to our salvation. We often disregard the ongoing process of being made like Jesus, or sanctification if you want to use the fancy theological word. In thinking about the current series we are in I think it relates. We many times fail to apply what is true in our lives. We tend to think that just because we know it, or have heard it that will make all the difference in our lives. It doesn't. What makes a difference is our active participation in our transformation through applying what the Bible teaches us. There is nothing we do to accomplish our salvation, but there is much we can do to participate in our sanctification. Packer says we often suffer from too many delusions to do this. I'll list them for you.
Delusions of theological error about who God is and what He is like.
Delusions of doubt and unbelief.
Delusions of self confidence. We think we have finally conquered an addiction or sin in our life and we think we can handle it from this point on.
Delusions that disrupt relationships.
Delusions from failing to distinguish between things that differ. For example "confusing secular psychological counseling with Biblical pastoral direction."
Delusions about the Christian life. Believing it will be "ordinarily easy, successful, healthy and wealthy".
I think I've suffered from many of these delusions at different points along the way. This is why I"m glad that the "sanctifying work of the Spirit as 1 Peter 1:1-2 talks about never stops. But it also challenges me to be obedient to Christ.Tags: there's an app for that

Colin with a Farrell: Still No Hope for Firthophiles
Like many ladies surfing the web today, I had a brief coronary flutter when I saw a headline, "Colin in Latest Celebrity Breakup".
I had to make myself a consolatory cup of Earl Grey when I clicked {forgive me, I think I Double Clicked} and discovered Colin Firth was not the Colin in question.
It was the other Colin F: Colin Farrell. The naughtier one. The one with two twinkles in his eyes. He, likewise, has a charming accent and is mighty pretty, so there's hope and good cheer for some. But I suspect those damsels could be a generation or two younger than we Firthophiles. While the Party Farrellers are frantically texting and Twittering about the news and downing Cosmos, we Firthophiles would have discreetly High Fived ourselves in the privacy of the bathroom then put on our prettiest dressing gowns, picked up the phone and dialled our mothers ~ or daughters.
The split was announced by Colin Farrell's {now ex} girlfriend Emma Forrest to the American magazine InTouch. She felt that by her calculations, X {his lack of taking her to meet the family} multiplied by Y {his lack of thanking her in his Golden Globes acceptance speech for Best Actor Musical/Comedy, In Bruges} equalled Zero commitment. I hope she doesn't regret it. Surely she was an English major? Really, how good is her maths?
It could be a shame if it's true. The novelist/journalist was credited with being a stabilising influence in his life. {You don't see yachts getting up and thanking their stabilisers at the Annual Boat Show Awards, do you? Clearly being a stabiliser is a thankless role. Perhaps she was a little hasty to dismiss the relationship. And to be fair, Colin showed every drop of his poetic Irish blood with a lyrically humble speech that went on for a while. A giant hook may have been hovering side of stage causing him to have a premature culmination.}
Mind you, I doubt Colin Farrell would ever have a premature culmination or forget to thank his stabiliser. He would have a carefully prepared speech memorised ahead of time, checked for timing against his fob watch and a spare copy folded inside his tux pocket, together with a monogrammed silk 'kerchief and a bottle of smelling salts just in case.
He's such a nice young man!

Phew! I, too, am glad it wasn't Colin Firth doing the breakup. It's funny---I find my celeb crushes much sexier when they're happily married or attached. It shows they're good with women.ReplyDelete
Random question: Do you know any women who aren't Colin Firth fans? What IS it about him that's so sexy? I love what Tina Fey said on an episode of 30 ROCK about how she had to remove all Colin Firth DVDs from her home before an adoption agency inspection just in case his movies are considered porn. Ha! They're better than porn!
Oh, I saw that episode, PCN. Hilarious!ReplyDelete
No, I haven't found any women who are unmoved by his charms. Perhaps it's that slightly ruffled look he usually has. Not too suave. I don't know for sure but I won't complain!
Merci, grazie, thank you for joining our conversation lounge. Your smile lights up the room. Even more beautifully than our crystal chandelier. x

Delve deeper into Napoleonic history here in our section on the history of the two empires. Alongside
a section for those just starting, there are many articles, images with commentary, close-ups and special dossiers for the
serious Napoleonic enthusiast.
Latest updates :
BESSIERES, Jean-Baptiste,
Duc d'Istrie, Marshal
"If Bessières is a marshal, then everyone can be one." Such were Marmont's words. Napoleon was perhaps fairer to him when, on St Helena he wrote "Bessières had a cold sort of bravery, and was calm admist the fighting. He had very good eyes, and was very experienced at cavalry manouvres, best suited to commanding cavalry reserves. Bessières was a vigorous reserve officer but prudent and circumspect. He was to be seen in all the great battles performing the greatests of services. And this was indeed the role he played in all the Napoleonic campaigns until his death on 1 May, 1813.Bessières was born on 6 August, 1768, in Prayssac (Lot) near Cahors in southern France, son of a doctor who trained him to follow in his footsteps. As a result of the the Revolution, he was to serve in the garde nationale de Prayssac (soon becoming captain), but along with Murat he was to be enrolled in the "Constitutional Guard" of Louis XVI (7 April, 1792) and as a non-commissioned officer took part in the war against Spain in the 22 Chasseurs in the Armée des Pyrenées (later Pyrenées-Orientales).In that Army of the Eastern Pyrenees (Pyrenées-Orientales) and in the Army of the Moselle he repeatedly distinguished himself for valour, and in 1796, as captain, he served in Napoleon Bonaparte's Italian campaign. At Rovereto his conduct brought him to his chief's notice, and after victory at Rivoli, he was sent to France (21 January, 1797) to deliver the captured colours to the Directory. Napoleon wrote to them: "Citizen Bessières, commander of the guides, brings you these colours. He is an officer disnguished for his bravery. On 9 March 1797 he was appointed chef de brigade (colonel).As chef de brigade he next served in the Egyptian expedition, and won further distinction at Acre (March to May 1799) and Aboukir (25 July, 1799). He was also one of the small group of faithful officers who returned with Napoleon to Europe and to first consulship. During the Brumaire days Bessières was to provide Napoleon with careful support.When the First Consul created the kernel of what was to be the consular and later imperial guard, Bessières was at the head, being appointed as commander of the Garde du Corps Législatif, soon to become the grenadiers of the Guard. Bessières briefly considered his chances as husband of Caroline, but he was beaten to the post by the flashing blade, Murat. Relations between Murat and Bessières were to remain difficult.Bessières was present at Marengo (1800) as second-in-command of the Consular Guard, and led one of the two key cavalry charges at the close of the day. Kellermann's charge with the dragoons in fact decided the day, by owing to Bessières closeness with the First Consul, it was his charge which Napoleon described as 'glorieuse'; Kellerman's was only called 'belle'.Promoted general of division in 1802 and marshal of France in 1804 (although last on the list - and some thought his presence there sullied it), he made the most famous campaigns of the Grande Armée as colonel-general of the Guard Cavalry (1805, 1806 and 1807).In 1805 he had received the Grand Eagle of the Legion of Honour, and in 1809 was created Duc d'Istrie. At Austerlitz he performed a key charge with the Cavalry of the Guard.At Eylau, the reserve cavalry led by Murat and the Guard Cavalry led by Bessières save the day. With the outbreak of the Peninsular War, Marshal Bessières had his first opportunity of an independent command, and his crushing victory over the Spaniards in the Battle of Medina del Rio Seco (1808) justified Napoleon's choice. When disaster in other parts of the theatre of war called Napoleon himself to the Peninsula, Bessiêres continued to give the emperor the very greatest assistance in his campaign. In 1809 he was again with the Grande Armée in the Danube valley. At Essling his repeated and desperate charges checked the Austrians in the full tide of their success. At the Battle of Wagram he had a horse killed under him. Replacing Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte in the command of the Army of the North, a little later in the same year, the newly-created duke of Istria successfully opposed the British Walcheren expedition, and in 1811 he was back again, in a still more important command, in Spain. As André Masséna's second-in-command he was present at the battle of Fuentes d'Onoro, but Napoleon never detached him for very long, and in 1812 he commanded the Guard Cavalry at the Battle of Borodino and in the retreat from Moscow. Wherever engaged he won further distinction, and at the beginning of the 1813 campaign he was appointed to the command of the whole of Napoleon's cavalry. Three days after the opening of the campaign (1 May, 1813), while reconnoitering the defile of Poserna-Rippach, Bessières was killed by a musket-ball. Napoleon, who deeply felt the loss of one of his truest friends and ablest commanders, protected his children, and his eldest son was made a member of the Chamber of Peers by Louis XVIII. As a commander, especially of cavalry, Bessières left a reputation excelled by very few of Napoleon's marshals, and his dauntless courage and cool judgment made him a safe leader in independent command. He was personally beloved to an extraordinary extent amongst his soldiers, and (unlike most of the French generals of the time) amongst his opponents. It is said that masses were performed for his soul by the priests of insurgent Spain, and the king of Saxony raised a monument to his memory.

The White House said Obama on Tuesday would call on congressional Republicans to compromise and accept the Senate Democrats' proposal.
The Democrats propose to generate revenue by plugging some tax loopholes. Those include tax breaks for the oil and natural gas industry and businesses that have sent jobs overseas, and by taxing millionaires at a rate of at least 30 percent.
A spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner said the Ohio Republican agrees the sequester is a bad way to reduce spending, but put the onus for averting the cuts on Democrats.
"A solution now requires the Senate — controlled by the president's party — to finally pass a plan of their own," spokesman Brendan Buck said.
Meanwhile, a bipartisan proposal Tuesday by co-chairs of an influential deficit-reduction commission called for reducing the deficit by $2.4 trillion over the next 10 years, with much of the savings coming through health care reform, closing tax loopholes, a stingier adjustment of Social Security's cost of living increases and other measures.
Some Republicans, including House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., have advocated plugging loopholes, but as part of a discussion on a tax overhaul, not sequestration.
"Loopholes are necessary for tax reform," Ryan said Sunday on ABC's "This Week." "If you take them for spending, you're blocking tax reform and you're really not getting the deficit under control."
The sequester was first set to begin taking effect on Jan. 1. But as part of the "fiscal cliff" negotiations, the White House and lawmakers agreed to push it off for two months in order to create space to work on a larger budget deal.
With little progress on that front in recent weeks, Obama is calling for the sequester to be put off again, though it's unclear whether another delay would have any impact on the prospects for a broader budget agreement.

Well I been playing since the EX6 so I guess I been here for a few months I used to be part of a small guild but everyone in it stopped playing and I left and I would like to join a guild full of like really nice and helpful people, i'm not an expert so I usually ask for advice and stuff but I can usually do well on my own. I can't make a good creative file so I usually just watch other people and make an altered version of theirs which sometimes turn out really well but i'm better at playing with a file that actually building it.
Well apart from that I usually get bad matchups so I often lose but when I do get a good matchup I usually win since I watched alot of matches and remembered how alot of them works. I also listed my stats if it matters or not these are how my wins and junk are when I wrote this.
Duels: 753
Wins: 335
Losses: 415 (I had a bad start since I didn't know how to play when I got to folrart and got bad matchups)
Draws: 3
Win Rate: 45%
Current RP: 1801/1859
I mostly play Gowen but I would also want to play Falkow and Lawtia. Umm...I don't really know what else I can say apart from I have alot of bad luck (example is my MET vs Alrune, alrune always wins...that may just be me) and so I get horrible matchups like big refress (which lead to my hatred of refress) and a few others but otherwise I can do well.
Thanks for reading.

DROP TABLE removes tables from the database. Only the table owner, the schema owner, and superuser can drop a table. To empty a table of rows without destroying the table, use DELETE or TRUNCATE.
DROP TABLE always removes any indexes, rules, triggers, and constraints that exist for the target table. However, to drop a table that is referenced by a view or a foreign-key constraint of another table, CASCADE must be specified. (CASCADE will remove a dependent view entirely, but in the foreign-key case it will only remove the foreign-key constraint, not the other table entirely.)
Do not throw an error if the table does not exist. A notice is issued in this case.
The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the table to drop.
Automatically drop objects that depend on the table (such as views).
Refuse to drop the table if any objects depend on it. This is the default.
This command conforms to the SQL standard, except that the standard only allows one table to be dropped per command, and apart from the IF EXISTS option, which is a PostgreSQL extension.

Idle No More continues in Saskatoon
Hundreds gathered at an Idle No More demonstration in Saskatoon on Saturday
CTV Saskatoon
Published Saturday, January 5, 2013 3:56PM CST
Last Updated Saturday, January 5, 2013 5:00PM CST
The Idle No More movement continued in Saskatoon Saturday afternoon with a rally at the White Buffalo Youth Lodge.
Several hundred people gathered to raise awareness to federal policies they said violate treaty rights. The movement began as a protest to bill C-45, which alters resource policies and land use.
Sunday's rally came only one day after the Prime Minister agreed to meet with First Nations leaders on January 11.
Perry Bellgarde, chief of the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations, said the meeting is a good start.
"The meeting is happening Friday with the Prime Minister, but that's a one-time meeting, it's not the be all end all. There has to be an ongoing process for treating implementation," Bellegarde said.

Army Honors Children of Fallen
October 29, 2007
WASHINGTON (Army News Service, Oct. 29, 2007) - The Army honored the children of fallen-hero Chief Warrant Officer 4 John W. Engeman today, in a ceremony split between the Pentagon and Baghdad that was a time of tears, laughter and above all, pride.
Chief of Staff of the Army Gen. George W. Casey Jr. presented the Gold Medal of Remembrance to CW4 Engeman's daughter Nicole Engeman at the Pentagon while at the same time via video teleconference Lt. Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, commander of Multinational Corps-Iraq, presented the medal to 1st Lt. Patrick Engeman, a platoon leader with the 10th Mountain Division, in Baghdad.
Sponsored by the White House Commission on Remembrance, the Gold Medal of Remembrance was created in 2006 to honor children who have lost a mother or father during operations in Iraq or Afghanistan. According to Carmella LaSpada, the commission's director, the medal is the first of its kind to recognize children for their sacrifices in war.
"We're a nation of symbols," she said. "We came up with something they could have the rest of their lives, and every time that they would hold this and see this, they would know that there is a grateful nation who recognizes the sacrifices of their fathers."
Gen. Casey said the first remembrance ceremony he attended on Memorial Day was "heart wrenching." The service chiefs were supposed to present the medals and leave, but he said they couldn't do that. They ended up going forward and embracing the children, who ranged from a few months old to their 20s.
Having lost his own father in Vietnam, Gen. Casey said he was especially sympathetic to the sacrifices of these Families, but he urged them to remember the important work their loved ones completed in Iraq and Afghanistan, against an enemy who wants to destroy the American way of life. He said that without men and women like CW4 Engeman, who worked on a transition team training Iraqi security forces, security in Iraq would not be possible.
CW4 Engeman was serving as part of an embedded special transition team to train and advise Iraqi security forces while assigned to the 1/312th Battalion, 30th Enhanced Separate Brigade. He was killed May 14, 2006, when his vehicle hit a roadside bomb.
"I think it says a lot about his dad that Patrick chose to be in the Army too," said Lt. Gen. Odierno. "I think that says a lot about his leadership. I appreciate the great job he's done since he's been here as a platoon leader carrying on the tradition. We're very proud of him over here and I know he's living up to his dad's expectations."
Wearing a gold star pin and carrying her husband's hat, Donna Engeman, CW4 Engeman's wife of over 23 years, said her husband commissioned her son in the proudest moment in both of their lives, and that although sending him to the place his father died was difficult, she was proud of both of their commitment and duty.
The ceremony, she added, was comforting and important in the process of moving forward.
"I think this is a great thing and I am so pleased and so happy, grateful, to the Army for doing this for us," she said. "One of the things that you worry about as a widow, is, 'I'm going to lose my Army Family.' John was in the military for 28 years. In a sense, we have no other Family. And the thought of losing that was so frightening. The dynamics of the relationship have changed a little bit, but things like this, remind me that my Army Family is still here, and I'm grateful for that."

Here are two morning editorials that ought to be a "must reads" for North Carolina's conservative political leaders:
The first comes from the Fayetteville Observer and it's entitled "Yes, Republicans can expand Medicaid too." As it notes:
Last month, hundreds of representatives from North Carolina hospitals and other health-care institutions brought a united message to Raleigh: Cuts in the Medicaid program are causing them serious economic harm. Further cuts could be disastrous.
That doesn't begin to consider the financial drain that comes from treating the thousands of North Carolinians who have no health insurance at all – those who are ineligible for Medicaid but too poor to afford conventional health insurance. By law, hospitals must treat them if they show up in the emergency room, even though there is no chance that they can pay their bill….
That's one reason why officials in Republican-led Indiana changed their minds about Medicaid participation in May, developing a hybrid state-federal system that will bring coverage to more low-income residents there.
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, a Republican, is using the supplementary Medicaid money to fund a state health-insurance plan for low-income residents. But it will have the same net effect in bringing coverage to those who don't have it.
That's a lesson in that for our GOP leaders, who have resisted participation in Obamacare. Don't resist. Take the money and build a program that works.
The second comes from the Wilmington Star News. It's entitled: "Instead of bullying children fleeing violence, put blame where it belongs."
