First Editions® Tiger Eyes® Cutleaf Staghorn Sumac (Rhus typhina 'Bailtiger') lures the buyer in with its bright chartreuse and dissected foliage, stately form and velvety, young branches. It is easy to grow, adapted to many types of soil, except poorly drained. Furthermore, its fall color ranges from clear yellow to fiery orangey-red. Overall, it is a three-season plant with some excellent ornamental qualities. Simply, it is a beautiful plant.
Ms. Ellis of Berwyn thought so when she rescued a misshapen, discounted plant about five years back. Meant to replace a Japanese Maple, she loved the foliage, especially. She received compliments and inquiries from all visitors to her garden. This happy relationship went on for about three years. Then she started noticing it in other parts of her garden. This was not too much of a bother as she simply pruned the growth off slightly under the soil. Next, plants started popping up in the lawn. Well, she thought, the mowers will get it. However, when it snaked under the fence and sent a healthy runner (i.e., slender shoots that root) into the neighboring yard, the happy relationship ended. This was the final …well, runner. Upon closer inspection in fact, there were runners all over the place! This is just another example of why it is always important to research plants before placing them for long-term garden or landscape solutions.
The straight species of this plant, Staghorn Sumac (Rhus typhina), naturalizes to form large colonies. It appears the same is true for the Tiger Eyes® cultivar. Small space gardeners should use extreme caution when planting this shrub. It may stay tidy and neat for up to three years or so, but will surely send out underground runners at some point in time.
According to Michael Dirr's Manual of Woody Landscape Plants, 'considerable thought should go into proper siting.' His suggestions for use are in mass plantings or river and stream banks, where it can naturally colonize. Avoid using Tiger Eyes® Cutleaf Staghorn Sumac as a specimen (or stand-alone plant), or foundation plant.
As far as Ms. Ellis' plant? She tore it out in favor of another Japanese Maple.

I read Cheryl Brantley's July 5 letter, "Want to pay more for electricity?" She claims, "You will see that increase in your electric bill" if BPA builds the 15-story towers and high-voltage lines in the forested area.
These are the facts provided by Clark Public Utilities (http://www.stoptowersnow.com, May 12 letter from Wayne Nelson, general manager of Clark Public Utilities): "It would take an increase in Clark PUD costs of $3,800,000 to require a 1 percent increase in electricity rates." … "The costs that BPA would incur for the construction of transmission lines would be recovered from all its transmission customers" (not just Southwest Washington) … "It would take more than a 20 percent increase in BPA transmission costs to Clark PUD to cause a 1 percent rate increase." The public would receive a maximum increase of 1 percent on 4.3 percent of their bill.
Clark Public Utilities tells us the increase in our monthly bill will be less than one penny per month. Since BPA spends $850 million a year protecting fish and wildlife, spending a few dollars more to protect the people, their health, property values and the aesthetics of our communities and properties is the right thing for BPA to do. Build the lines where people do not live.

Squirrels Defend Against Rattlesnakes
Some squirrels have developed some uncanny defense mechanisms against rattlesnakes. Researchers have found that some squirrels use the skins shed by the reptiles to cover themselves with rattlesnake scent.
SCOTT SIMON, host:
Sometimes, the best defense against a snake in the grass is to smell like one. Researchers from the University of California at Davis have found that California ground squirrels and rock squirrels shoe-up some of the skins that rattlesnakes shed then lick their fur, which leaves them smelling like a rattlesnake. The squirrels can snooze safely in their underground burrows because the rattlesnakes slithering above think that they're only other rattlesnakes down below the poor fools.
Squirrels are not one tricked(ph) rodents. One of the study's authors, Professor Donald Owings of UC Davis, says that squirrels can heat up their tails, kind of like a space ray in a science fiction comic that will ward off a snake; and some squirrels can even tell how dangerous a snake is based on the sound of its rattle - must be some kind of code. One rattle, not too dangerous; five rattles, pick up your acorns and scram.
Professor Owings says that at the defense that squirrels have developed, it's a nice example of the opportunism of animals.

Are you among the 37 million Americans who have sinus problems each year? If so, there's a lot you can do at home that can make a difference. Even better, many of these things are simple and inexpensive.
First, it's crucial to figure out why you have sinus problems, says Jordan S. Josephson, MD, a Manhattan ear-nose-throat specialist and author of Sinus Relief Now. " Allergies are a fairly common reason for sinus problems," he says.
The kinds that affect the nose include hay fever and indoor allergies.
Other reasons? "A dry nose leads to more sinus problems," says Richard F. Lavi, MD, an allergist in Twinsburg, OH. "Nasal dryness leads to congestion, thickened mucus, and worsened sinusitis."
Whatever the trigger, you can pick and choose from these five tips, or try all of them.
1. Keep Your Cool
When the heat is on, the inside of your nose gets dry, says Russell B. Leftwich, MD, an allergist in Nashville, TN. Mucus isn't cleared as well as usual, which makes sinus problems more likely.
He can't recommend a specific indoor temperature range as ideal, but he offers this guide: "You are better off wearing a sweater and keeping it cooler than cranking it up so you are comfortable wearing only a T-shirt."
Let your nose guide your indoor temperature range. "If you are not waking up with nosebleeds or congestion, that is probably a good temperature range," Lavi says.
2. Humidify Your Air
Keep your home from becoming too dry or too humid. " Dust mites love greater than 50% humidity," Lavi says. If you're allergic to those, that's bad news for your sinuses.
Too much humidity indoors can also encourage the growth of mold, which may also set off sinus problems for some people, says Todd Kingdom, MD, a professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
Experts have different views on the value of room humidifiers for creating a sinus-friendly home.
"A room humidifier never makes a difference," Leftwich says. "There is too much air to humidify."
But Josephson says using humidifiers in the bedroom beginning in October through March or April can make a difference in keeping sinus problems at bay.

What the analysts say - ConAgra Foods Q2/H1 numbers
By Michelle Russell | 21 December 2012
ConAgra saw its profits soar in the first half of the year
ConAgra Foods yesterday (20 December) booked a jump in first-half profits and raised its full-year earnings forecast. The growth was a result of a series of small acquisitions made by the US group this year. Analysts gave an overall positive reaction to the results but some raised caution about the outlook for the company, particularly around its plan to buy private-label rival Ralcorp Holdings.
Morningstar analyst Erin Lash
"ConAgra has been active on the acquisition front over the past year and it shows, as second-quarter results were propped up by five recently completed deals and results exceeded consensus estimates - reported earnings of $0.57 per share outpaced the market's expectations of $0.55. We applaud the company's efforts to build out its private-label business as well as its international platform, but volatile commodity costs and challenging economic conditions continue to present sizeable headwinds, and we think ConAgra's portfolio of second- and third-tier brands will remain an Achilles' heel for some time. However, the acquisition of Ralcorp makes strategic sense, from our view, as it extends the packaged food firm's offerings beyond its lackluster brand portfolio and positions it to benefit as consumers opt for lower-priced products and retailers increasingly tout value offerings, despite the lofty price tag ConAgra is to pay (a sweet 12 times the private-label manufacturer's fiscal 2012 adjusted EBITDA on an enterprise value basis)."
Jonathan Feeney, analyst at Janney Montgomery Scott
"At 9.3x estimated 2013 EV/EBITDA, ConAgra trades at a 13% discount to the group, lower than its historical 10% discount despite comparable (at least) earnings visibility and in line domestic volume trends. We think the market has failed to recognise ConAgra's vast business improvements (volumes, returns) due to its above-average exposure to and focus on the sluggish US market. Ironically, we believe this US focus offers better visibility than what's priced in. Our $36 fair value estimate is derived using a 9x EV/EBITDA multiple on our FY14 (May) forecast, noting ConAgra's free cash profile improves with the addition of Ralcorp and remains the most attractive in packaged food."
Barclays Capital analyst Andrew Lazar
"ConAgra reported F2Q13 EPS of $0.57, $0.02 above the Street estimate of $0.55. Total sales grew 9% year-on-year in the quarter, modestly above the consensus estimate of 8.2% year-on-year. In the consumer segment, organic sales were flat year-on-year, with a 4% increase in price/mix offset by a 4% volume decline. Segment operating profit increased 8%, based on favourable price/mix, moderating inflation and a contribution from recent acquisitions. ConAgra raised its FY13 EPS guidance and now expects to deliver "at least" $2.06 in the full-year, versus its prior expectation for a range of $2.03-$2.06 (both of which exclude the impact from the pending Ralcorp acquisition). Other FY13 guidance items include interest expense of $215m and a full-year tax rate that the company anticipates will be "approximately" 34%."
Stifel Nicolaus analyst Chris Growe
"We believe ConAgra will encounter a higher level of risk associated with integrating Ralcorp's business and we also see some risk around operating both a branded and private label business under the same roof. As such, while the EPS accretion surrounding this transaction is attractive and should support even some modest upside potential for the shares, we also take a somewhat more cautious approach around the company's ability to manage this business and its inherent volatility. We do not believe Ralcorp and a larger presence in the private-label food industry will lead to an increase in ConAgra's sales and earnings growth rate.
"While we believe ConAgra will continue to acquire and build its presence in the private-label food industry, we do not believe the underlying or organic growth rate of its business will expand from the current 6%-8% EPS growth rate the company currently estimates. While the company's use of the balance sheet has been important in driving earnings growth, the activity will likely slow down as the company digests the Ralcorp acquisition and uses its free cash flow to pay down debt. We need to see an improving rate of underlying growth for the business before getting more comfortable with a more positive tone on the shares."

Me and a friend went to Waterfall Spa to treat ourselves after finishing uni, therefore were prepared to splash the cash. We did think it was a wee bit expensive when booking, however, after using the facilties,being in the environment, with friendly and helpful staff, gorgeous food and an amazing massage, it was worth every penny. We both would definately go again, and as we had travelled up to Leeds, we decided to make a few days of it and took advantage of the shops and nightlife. The Spa is a beautiful place, where you can spend the whole day relaxing and being pampered. I didn't want to leave!!

Common cold
|The English used in this article or section may not be easy for everybody to understand. (March 2012)
|Common Cold
|Classification and external resources
A representation of the molecular surface of one type of human rhinovirus.
The common cold (also known as nasopharyngitis, rhinopharyngitis, acute coryza, or a cold) is an easily spread infectious disease of the upper respiratory system. It damages mostly the nose and throat. The symptoms include cough, painful throat, runny nose (rhinorrhea), and fever. These symptoms usually last seven to ten days, but sometimes up to three weeks. Over two hundred different viruses can cause the common cold, but rhinoviruses are the most common cause.
Acute infections of the nose, sinuses, throat or larynx (upper respiratory tract infections, URI or URTI) are sorted by the areas of the body that are mostly hurt. The common cold mostly hurts the nose, pharyngitis the throat, and sinusitis the sinuses. The symptoms come from the immune system's response to the infection, not from direct destruction by the viruses themselves. Hand washing is the main way to keep the common cold from happening. Wearing face masks might also help.
There is no cure for the common cold, but the symptoms can be treated. It is the most frequent infectious disease in humans. The average person gets two to three colds every year. The average child gets between six and twelve colds every year. These colds have been with humans for thousands of years.
Signs and symptoms[change | change source]
The most common symptoms of a cold are a cough, runny nose, a stuffy nose, and a sore throat. Other issues are sore muscles, feeling tired, headache, and not wanting to eat.[1] Around 40% of people with colds have a sore throat, while around 50% have a cough.[2] Muscle ache happens in about half of the cases.[3] A fever is an uncommon symptom in adults, but it is common in infants and young children.[3] The cough caused by a cold is usually mild compared to a cough caused by influenza {the flu).[3] A cough and a fever indicate a higher likelihood of the flu in adults. [4] A number of the viruses that cause the common cold may also result in no symptoms.[5][6] The color of the mucus that is coughed up from the lower airways (sputum) may vary in color from clear to yellow to green. This color does not indicate if an infection is caused by viruses or bacteria.[7]
Progression[change | change source]
A cold usually begins with feeling tired, a feeling of being chilled, sneezing, and a headache. Additional symptoms such as runny nose and cough follow within two or more days.[1] Symptoms typically reach their worst two to three days after the infection begins.[3] Symptoms usually end after seven to ten days, but can last up to three weeks.[8] The cough lasts for more than ten days in 35% to 40% of cases involving children. It lasts for more than 25 days in 10% of cases involving children.[9]
Cause[change | change source]
Viruses[change | change source]
The common cold is an easily spread infection of the upper respiratory tract. The rhinovirus is the most common cause of the common cold. It accounts for 30% to 80% of all cases. A rhinovirus is an RNA-containing virus of the family Picornaviridae. There are 99 known types of viruses in this family of viruses.[10][11]
Other viruses can also cause the common cold. The Coronavirus causes 10% to 15% of cases. The flu causes 5% to 15% of cases.[3] Other cases may be caused by human parainfluenza viruses, human respiratory syncytial virus, adenoviruses, Enteroviruses, and metapneumovirus.[12] Frequently, more than one virus is present and causing the infection.[13] In total, over two hundred different viruses[k2] are associated with colds.[3]
Transmission[change | change source]
The common cold virus is usually spread in one of two main ways. By breathing or swallowing droplets in the air containing the virus; or by contacting infected nasal mucus or contaminated objects.[2][14] The most common method of transmitting the cold virus has not been determined.[15] The viruses may survive for a long time in the environment. Viruses may then be transmitted from the hands to the eyes or nose where infection occurs.[14] People sitting close together appear at greater risk of becoming infected.[15] Transmission is common in day cares and at schools, due to the closeness of many children with little immunity and frequently poor hygiene.[16] These infections are then brought home to other members of the family.[16] There is no evidence that the air on commercial flights transmits cold viruses.[14] Rhinoviruses are most infectious in the first three days of cold symptoms. They are much less infectious afterwards.[17]
Weather[change | change source]
The traditional theory was that the disease spread to someone staying too long in cold weather, rain, or winter conditions. This is how the disease got its name.[18] The role of body cooling as a risk factor for the common cold is controversial.[19] Some common cold viruses are seasonal, found more often in cold or wet weather.[20] This is believed to mostly be due to more time spent indoors, close to each other;[21] specifically children returning to school.[16] Still, changes in the respiratory system may result in easier infections.[22] Dry air may increase transmission rates by allowing small easily spread droplets to spread farther and stay in the air longer.[23]
Other[change | change source]
Herd immunity, immunity that occurs when an entire group of people become immune to a particular infection, occurs from previous exposure to cold viruses. Thus younger populations have greater rates of respiratory infections and older populations have lower rates of respiratory infections.[24] Poor immune function is also a risk factor for disease.[24][25] Lack of sleep and poor nutrition have also been associated with a greater risk of developing infection following rhinovirus exposure. This is believed to be due to their effects on immune function.[26][27]
Pathophysiology[change | change source]
The symptoms of the common cold are believed to be mostly related to the immune response to the virus.[28] The mechanism of this immune response is virus-specific. For example, the rhinovirus is typically acquired by direct contact. It binds to human ICAM-1 receptors through unknown methods to trigger the release of inflammatory mediators.[28] These inflammatory mediators then produce the symptoms.[28] It does not generally cause damage to the nasal epithelium.[3]
In contrast, the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is contacted by both direct contact and airborne droplets. It then replicates in the nose and throat before frequently spreading to the lower respiratory tract.[29] RSV does cause epithelium damage.[29]
Human parainfluenza virus typically results in inflammation of the nose, throat, and airways.[30] In young children, when it affects the trachea it may produce croup, a hoarse cough and difficulty breathing. This is due to the small size of the airway in children.[30]
Diagnosis[change | change source]
The distinction between different upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) is loosely based on the location of the symptoms. The common cold primarily affects the nose, pharyngitis primarily affects the throat, and bronchitis primarily affects the lungs.[2] The common cold is frequently defined as inflammation of the nose and may include varying amounts of throat inflammation.[31] Self-diagnosis is common.[3] Isolation of the actual viral agent involved is rarely performed.[31] It is generally not possible to identify the specific virus through symptoms.[3]
Prevention[change | change source]
The only effective way to prevent the common cold is by physically preventing the spread of the viruses.[32] This primarily includes hand washing and wearing face masks. In the health care environment, gowns and disposable gloves are also worn.[32] Isolating infected individuals is not possible because the disease is so widespread and symptoms are not specific. Vaccination has proved difficult because there are so many viruses involved and the viruses undergo rapid change.[32] Developing a broadly effective vaccine is very unlikely.[33]
Regular hand washing reduces the spread of cold viruses. It is most effective and is especially recommended for use in children, due to a lack of evidence supporting the effectiveness of over-the-counter cold medicines for children, and due to the risk for harm from those medicines.[34][35] In 2009, Canada restricted the use of over-the-counter cough and cold medication in children six years old and younger due to concerns regarding risks and unproven benefits.[34] The misuse of dextromethorphan (an over-the-counter cough medicine) has led to its ban in a number of countries.[36]
In adults, the symptoms of a runny nose can be reduced by first-generation antihistamines. However, first-generation antihistamines are associated with adverse side effects such as drowsiness.[37] Other decongestants such as pseudoephedrine are also effective in adults.[38] Ipratropium nasal spray may reduce the symptoms of a runny nose, but there is little effect on stuffiness.[39] Second-generation antihistamines do not appear to be effective.[40]
Due to the lack of studies, it is not known whether drinking more fluids improves symptoms or shortens respiratory illness.[41] A similar lack of data exists for the use of heated humidified air.[42] One study found chest vapor rub to be effective in providing some symptomatic relief of night-time cough, congestion, and sleep difficulty.[43]
[change | change source]
Antibiotics have no effect against viral infections and thus have no effect against the common cold.[44] Antibiotics are often prescribed even though antibiotic side effects cause overall harm.[44][45] Antibiotics are commonly prescribed because people expect doctors to prescribe them, and doctors want to help people. Prescribing antibiotics also happens because it is difficult to exclude causes of infection that may be managed by antibiotics.[46] There are no effective antiviral drugs for the common cold, even though some preliminary research has shown benefit.[37][47]
Alternative treatments[change | change source]
While there are many alternative treatments used for the common cold, there is not enough scientific evidence to support the use of most treatments.[37] As of 2010, there is not enough evidence to recommend for or against either honey or nasal irrigation.[48][49] Zinc supplements may reduce the severity and duration of symptoms when taken within 24 hours of their onset.[50] The effect of vitamin C on the common cold, while extensively researched, is disappointing.[51][52] Evidence about the usefulness of echinacea is inconsistent.[53][54] Different types of echinacea supplements may vary in their effectiveness.[53]
Outcome[change | change source]
The common cold is generally mild and goes away on its own with most symptoms improving in one week.[2] Severe complications, if they occur, are usually in the very old, the very young, or those who are immunosuppressed (have a weakened immune system).[55] Secondary bacterial infections may occur resulting in sinusitis, pharyngitis, or an ear infection.[56] It is estimated that sinusitis occurs in 8% of cases. Ear infections occur in 30% of cases.[57]
Likelihood[change | change source]
The common cold is the most common human disease[55] and people are affected all around the world.[16] Adults typically have two to five infections per year.[2][3] Children may have six to ten colds per year (and up to twelve colds per year for school children).[37] Rates of symptomatic infections increase in the elderly due to a weakening immune system.[24]
History[change | change source]
While the cause of the common cold has been known since only the 1950s, the disease has been with humanity since ancient times.[58] Its symptoms and treatment are described in the Egyptian Ebers papyrus, the oldest existing medical text, written before the 16th century BC.[59] The name "common cold" came into use in the 16th century, due to the similarity between its symptoms and those of exposure to cold weather.[60]
In the United Kingdom, the Common Cold Unit (CCU) was set up by the Medical Research Council in 1946, and it was here that the rhinovirus was discovered in 1956.[61] In the 1970s, the CCU demonstrated that treatment with interferon during the incubation phase of rhinovirus infection provided some protection against the disease.[62] No practical treatment could be developed. The unit was closed in 1989, two years after it completed research of zinc gluconate lozenges in the prevention and treatment of rhinovirus colds. Zinc was the only successful treatment developed in the history of the CCU.[63]
Economic impact[change | change source]
The economic impact of the common cold is poorly understood in much of the world.[64] In the United States, the common cold leads to 75 million to 100 million physician visits annually, costing at least $7.7 billion per year (by conservative cost estimates). Americans spend $2.9 billion on over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. Americans spend an additional $400 million on prescription medicines for symptomatic relief.[65] More than one-third of people who saw a doctor received an antibiotic prescription. The use of antibiotic prescriptions has implications for antibiotic resistance.[65] An estimated 22 million to 189 million school days are missed each year due to a cold. As a result, parents missed 126 million workdays to stay home to care for their children. When added to the 150 million workdays missed by employees suffering from a cold, the total economic impact of cold-related work loss exceeds $20 billion per year.[12][65] This accounts for 40% of time lost from work in the United States.[66]
Research[change | change source]
A number of antivirals have been tested for effectiveness in the common cold. As of 2009, none have been both found effective and licensed for use.[67] There are ongoing trials of the antiviral drug pleconaril. It shows promise against picornaviruses. There are also ongoing trials of BTA-798.[68] The oral form of pleconaril had safety issues and an aerosol form is being studied.[68]
Researchers from University of Maryland, College Park and University of Wisconsin–Madison have mapped the genome for all known virus strains that cause the common cold.[69]

Critic Reviews for People Like Us
All Critics (116) | Top Critics (36) | Fresh (62) | Rotten (53)
The movie is an appeal to the most general audience possible, lacking the necessary spark to find the right audience.
these kind of movies push the buttons so hard and so shamelessly that they become annoying
Alex Kurtzman taps his family tree for enough sap to start a treacle factory.
( ... ) the cinematography offers domestic drama pleasures in its own right. Thank you for caring, Salvatore Totino (Cinderella Man / Any Given Sunday).
There's an intriguing true story buried inside this overly structured drama, and by playing by simplistic screenwriting rules the filmmakers make everything trite and predictable.
Audience Reviews for People Like Us
An unapologetic chick flick with all the trimmings, but at least done with some intelligence, and with some respect for their audience. The story of how two families come to discover they've the same father is not overly convoluted, which is to say, simple, but the performances of the leads are committed enough to carry the day.
Super Reviewer
People Like Us was a good movie with a great cast. The story was really good. I loved that Sam started out self absorbed to by the end being so open and loving. His mother and father really did a number on him. She is where I think he got his selfish ways. The fact that she made her husband give up a relationship and any kind of connection with his daughter really made me dislike her.
I loved Pine and Banks together on screen. They flowed well together making is very easy to believe they had a close connection. I think Michael Hall did a great job in this. He held his own with these actors. I look forward to see how he does in future films.
The ending was really sweet. It couldn't have ended in an any better way.
It is a great family drama. I will definitely be seeing this again.
Super Reviewer
This has to be under everyone's radar and that's a true shame. I can't recommend it enough if you're looking for a truly moving film about fractured families and fractured souls.
I was completely blown away by this movie and by every single performance. If I were an Academy member and I saw this film I would immediately place the names Chris Pine, Elizabeth Banks and Michelle Pfeiffer at the very top of my Oscar nominations lists. Honestly, everyone is just that good in these roles especially Banks. Hers is the best performance I've seen this year bar none. The movie itself is so wonderfully written and packs true emotional resonance. The plot may sound clich� but nothing is handled in a predictable or unreal fashion. Secrets are revealed and it sheds new life on family and the meaning of love. To paraphrase: what seems important now really isn't and what's may seem not important now really is... there's a lot to digest about this film. One thing's for sure, if you "lean in to it" and give this movie your time and undivided attention you will not be sorry that you saw it. 5 Stars 2-7-13

The Kansas City Chiefs begin their three-day minicamp on Tuesday. Here are three things I'll be looking for:
The full-squad debut of De'Anthony Thomas. The Chiefs' fourth-round draft pick, Thomas hasn't been able to practice since the rookie camp shortly after the draft. Classes had still been in session at Oregon, where Thomas went to college, and NFL rules prohibited him from working with the Chiefs. That ban is now over and it will be interesting to see how Andy Reid utilizes Thomas' speed in the offense. He lined up in a variety of spots during rookie camp, including wide receiver, slot receiver and running back. He also should get a turn as the kickoff and punt returner.
The return of Travis Kelce. Another player who could provide an offensive boost, Kelce also hasn't practiced this spring. He had knee surgery last year, missing all of the season, and has been rehabbing, but Reid held out some hope Kelce could get some work this week. That's good news for the Chiefs, who other than Thomas added no significant new offensive skill players. Kelce is a tight end, but also lined up in a variety of spots before his injury last year. He showed then the ability to get down the field to beat coverage and make plays.
Life without Brandon Flowers. The Chiefs have been practicing without Flowers all spring but there was always the sense that having Marcus Cooper in the starting lineup was a temporary thing. The spot is Cooper's now and there doesn't appear to be anyone who can challenge him for the job. Ron Parker, who has been getting recent snaps in the starting lineup, has been beaten several times. Rookie Phillip Gaines, a third-round pick, doesn't look like he's ready to help yet.

Scouting next Chargers opponent: Jets
Cro Bowler? Take it as spin or take it as reality, but the Jets say Antonio Cromartie has grown up, both on the field and off it.
As coach Rex Ryan tells it, the former Charger belongs in the Pro Bowl for having thwarted No. 1 receivers since taking over for injured teammate Darrelle Revis in Week 7.
Supporting Ryan's claim, the completion percentage (42.3) against Cromartie is the lowest in the NFL.
A Pro Bowl trip wouldn't be a first for the cornerback, honored in 2007 after picking off 10 passes for the Chargers.
His white-flag moment against the Jets in the 2009 playoffs, however, is what many Chargers observers remember about Cromartie, who let a running back run by him without trying to tackle him.
The Chargers traded Cromartie to the Jets a few months later and used New York's third-round pick to draft cornerback Shareece Wright in 2011.
Close call: Oddsmaker have made the Jets (6-8) one-point favorites. A year ago in New Jersey, the Bolts blew an 11-point halftime lead and lost 27-21.
New quarterback: The Jets, whose offense ranges from inept to mediocre, will have Greg McElroy make his first NFL start on Sunday.
Ryan passed over Tim Tebow, the No. 2 quarterback, in choosing McElroy to replace a mistake-prone Mark Sanchez, who had five turnovers in the Jets' 14-10 loss at Tennessee on Monday.
Sanchez's three interceptions against the Cardinals three games ago led to McElroy entering the contest, and his one-yard pass to tight end Jeff Cumberland off a bootleg accounted for the only touchdown in New York's 7-6 victory.
McElroy, who was making his NFL debut, was 5 of 7 for 29 yards against Arizona. At the time, Tebow was inactive with broken ribs.
Alabama connection: The Jets drafted Alabama quarterback Joe Namath first overall in 1965. In 1976, they took Bama passer Richard Todd with the No. 6 pick. McElroy, who wears Todd's No. 14, was a seventh-round selection in 2011.
Decision maker: While at Alabama, McElroy earned coach Nick Saban's trust by protecting the ball. The Tide, powered by its defense and running game, went 24-3 and won a national championship with McElroy as its starter. His career mark of one interception per 65.8 passes is the best in SEC history. McElroy earned two degrees at Tuscaloosa.
2011 quarterbacks: McElroy is the latest of several '11 draftees to start at quarterback. The others are Cam Newton (1st), Jake Locker (8th), Christian Ponder (12th) Andy Dalton (35) and Colin Kaepernick (36). Jaguars backup Blaine Gabbert, drafted 10th, was 5-19 as Jacksonville's starter.
Not entertaining: J-E-T-S is the old chant. That's short for Just End The Season. It's the cry of Jets fans exasperated by the team's offense.
The Jets have thrown more interceptions (17) than touchdown passes (14). They are 23rd in rushing yards per attempt, and only the Eagles have lost more fumbles.
Whether the Mayans are right or not about the end of the world, the playcaller, Tony Sparano, the former Dolphins head coach, is expected to lose his job before next season.
Playmakers out: The team's best receiver, Santonio Holmes, was lost to an injury in Week Four. One season after catching a 65 passes, tight end Dustin Keller has 28 catches. He has missed the last two games with an ankle injury. Effective in both of Ryan's wins over the Bolts, Keller came to the NFL with wide-receiver quickness (4.54, 40 speed) and explosiveness (41 inches, vertical).
Building blocks: The Jets aren't the defensive powerhouse they were in reaching AFC Championship Games in 2009-10. But they are led in sacks (4) by two emerging linemen: tackle Muhammad Wilkerson, a first-round choice (30th, Temple) in 2011 who has started all but one game in two years; and rookie end Quinton Coples (16th, North Carolina), who has a sack each of the last two games.

If you're looking for anime similar to AD Police Files, you might like these titles. All recommendations are made by Anime-Planet users like you!
The year is 2032. Tokyo has been destroyed by a great earthquake and a new city, MegaTokyo, has risen from the ashes. Humans now live side-by-side with androids known as Boomers who perform many of the menial and laborious tasks that humans despise, but these artificial servants come with a price: they have a tendency to go haywire and attack those they were built to serve. The A.D. Police force was created to try and stop this menace, but its weapons can do little more than annoy the Boomers. Hope lies with the Knight Sabers, four young women with high-tech, armored suits and enough firepower to stop an army - but will it be enough to stop MegaTokyo's greatest threat?

I agree
Love hard core Mecha action with a juicy futuristic story, then you'll enjoy either one of these anime, despite the fact that Bubblegum Crisis is the official sequel to A.D. Police Files. It's not a continuation by no means but still falls along the same principals of hard police work, in a futuristic setting. So if you're looking for a great place to start you Neo Tokyo fix, you'll most certainly want to watch either of these.
The year is 2179: humans and robots have colonized Mars. A newer Third-Type robot has been designed to interact undetected in human society. That is, until a man named D'anclaude discovers their secret and starts a movement to wipe them out. Armitage is a Third-Type that works for the police with her partner Ross, and now these two must rid the planet of D'anclaude and his evil plans.

I agree
If you enjoy futuristic classic anime with a hint of cyberpunk then you will most definately enjoy both of these anime. They both share similar ideas of humans co-existing with human-like robots and all the drawbacks of this new society. Where AD Police set from point of view of different characters(mainly around AD Police special police unit) dealing with mallfunctioning robots, Armitage story based on a badass girl android full of emotions that is trying to discover purpose of her existance, where she came from and what exactly is she.

I would first like to thank all those who give some of their time to render service to others. I hope I'm in the right section and all my apologies if this is not the case. I have a little concern with my pc despite all the research I made on the net
try to solve but unfortunately I am not alone failed. I have a PC with a Dell flat unit with an Intel Celeron 2.8 GHz, and a 80 GB hard drive Western Digital SATA. I put a BIOS password and on my hard drive and password was the same for both. Unfortunately, my grilled food and I've changed a few weeks after. To my surprise, my password most recognized neither by my bios, or my hard drive.
For the bios, I remove the battery and change the jumper, for against my hard drive, I have failed to find a solution from the change.
I thank you in advance for your help and advice

New litter just born, puppies available!!
We have a new litter just born may 2015. This will probably be our last litter. Some of the most beautiful and high performance Kangal pups in the U.S. If you are interested in a pup it would be wise to reserve one soon. Pups can be reserved by paying a $400 down payment and signing our buyers contract. See puppies tab for photos of the new and old litters.
About Us
Our goal is to Breed top quality Kangal dogs and match them with quality owners. After years of having strangers stop us mulitple times a day to marvel at our dogs we decided to take the plunge and breed our dogs. We can truly say that our dogs and the Kangal breed in general more than live up to their reputation. Even though we hear them described every day as "beautiful", "amazing", "even tempered", and the dozens of other complimentary adjectives I find myself continually surprised at how wonderful these dogs truly are.
The Kangal Dog
The Kangal dog is an ancient breed originating in the Sivas province of Central Turkey . The dog is revered in Turkey as a national treasure and the government has restrictions against Kangals leaving the country. Owing to these restrictions and the fact that the dog is relatively unknown outside of Turkey the breed is still very rare in the US. The males can be well over 150 lbs and stand 7ft tall. when up-right. They are the worlds strongest dogs with the bite force higher then a Puma or any dog breed. And yet I would leave a baby in their arms!
Kangals have been bred to be the consumate livestock guardian for thousands of years (no one really knows for sure exactly how long). The breed is renowned for its bravery in defending livestock and its affection towards its family.
If your looking for a livestock guardian or a dog to guard your property and your family you can't get a better dog than this. These dogs have an uncanny guarding instinct. Not the type of yappy dog that barks at everything that moves, or the vicious snarling of a dog that would bite anything that gets close to it, but a much more discerning guardian who senses when a person or predator has bad intentions. Revered in Turkey as a "Wolf Killer" these dogs have the physical attributes to defend against virtually any predator. Because they instinctually try to intimidate and scare off predators with their thunderous bark and their impressive physique, before escalating to violence they are often used to protect not only the livestock but also the predators themselves as they may be poisoned or shot by livestock owners.They are currently using Kangals to save Chetas in Africa.
The dog is originally believed to be related to an ancient mastiff type breed. They are very large dogs, from 110-170lbs, but more than that they are scary strong and fast even for their size. Capable of pulling a 5 ton tractor (google it) and running with a speed and agility that will shock you.
These dogs also make wonderful pets, with a few caveats. These dogs love human contact and are great with children. They are a very intelligent dog , are very quick to learn but also very independent owing to there thousands of years as a working livestock guardian. Don't expect these dogs to be really excited about fetching a ball or doing repetitive tasks. Because they are very independent and also because they are so strong and powerful they are generally most suited to experienced dog owners.
While not a particularly "hyper" dog these dogs definitely need consistent excercise and some room to roam. These dogs are suited to suburbia but are best in a country lifestyle.
If you want to learn more about this wonderful animal there are a number of great resources on the internet (check out our links). Also see "our dogs" tab for more information about the sire and dam of our litter.

Hi again.
The way things are shaping up is that I'll be moving somewhere where I'll have a 25 mile round trip commute up from my 15 mile round trip commute in Germany. The entire route has segregated or dedicated bike lanes.
The question is about headphones as I'd like to continue working on my German (moving to England from Germany) during the ride. Does anyone have recommendations for which headphones would work well with audiobooks or verbal podcasts (in German, of course.)

I don't really mind riding in the winter.
The crisp, cold air... the dark night... the warm hat... the fireplace smell on the street...

Your thoughts?

Last night I'm out on a date with this woman I'd seen a few times before. We were having a great time and she asks me back to her apartment. So I go, of course.
We get there, I uncork a bottle of wine. She sets the mood with candles, dim lights and all the rest. Well, one thing leads to another and we're kissing on the couch. I love kissing. This is really great. A few minutes later, one of her cats jumps up next to us.
"Hee hee! This is Rum Tum Tugger. He's one of my jellical cats" (I apologize if I spell some names wrong)
"Um, what's a jellical cat?" I reply.
"Oh! You've never seen the musical Cats? Hold on for one minute!"
Honest to god she gets up and put on the show's soundtrack. As she does, I'm thinking "Is she really doing this right now? How fucked is this situation? Am I that bad a kisser? How long do I have to listen to this before I can make a escape?"
Well, the answers are:
1) Yes
2) Pretty fucked
3) Apparently
4) All fucking night
I got to hear the entire soundtrack, learn the story line, meet the characters (her other cats) and then listen to a couple of the songs again. I swear she almost cried when that song "Memories" played the 2nd time. I almost did too, but not for the same reasons.
Anyway, I eventually got out of there, integrity still intact. There wasn't any more fooling around. I didn't insult her or come off like an ass when I left, but I think I'll have to politely decline the next date offer.
In retrospect, if I HAD cried during that song, I probably would have gotten laid (although I doubt I would have had anything remotely like a decent performance...ha!) Oh well.

Hard Boiled New Jersey Politics: 'Street Fight'
Filmmaker Marshall Curry talks about his new documentary Street Fight, a look at old style machine politics in Newark, N.J.

Nice - Jul 25, 2013

Pants are a little wider than skinny jeans but not as wide as like boot cut jeans

Love these pants! - May 21, 2011
Player: Sarah (VA, USA)
These pants are great! I am just under 5'3", 105 lbs and usually wear a pants size of zero or double zero in juniors. I got the XS and they fit perfectly. They sit low enough on the hips to be comfortable and the crotch sits where it should, not too low. I can wear my shorts comfortably under them as well. I seriously wish I could wear these every day of my life they are so comfortable, and they look nice.

Nicer fit than the trofeo - Mar 04, 2010
Coach: VAcoach
The trofeo were cut very tight at the ankles and definitely more slender throughout the whole leg of the pants even on my very slender daughter. The condivo is a better fit- more room. My only complaint is that the waist is lower. I don't want to look like a plumber when I kneel down or bend over when I'm coaching.

I had driven my car about 20+ miles and was a half block from home when it suddenly misfired and at the same time the check engine light came on. I drove it home and have not driven it since. the light is still on. The car has 102,000 miles on it. Any ideas and is it safe to drive it to the dealer about 10 miles away?

qqTwo of the highly anticipated Tamil albums "Jilla" and "Veeram" of superstars Vijay and Ajith Kumar respectively, will have a soft audio launch, according to their makers who have decided not to go for grand release.
The soundtrack of "Veeram" will be released Friday on a radio channel in the presence of its director Siva and composer Devi Sri Prasad.
"Ajith sir usually prefers soft launches over a lavish one, and therefore, he insisted that we have a soft launch for our film. Moreover, we are confident about the music and strongly believe that it will be well received," film's director Siva told IANS.
Ajith usually likes to stay out of limelight and seldom promotes his films.
Vijay's "Jilla" will hit the stores directly Saturday.
"We are extremely busy with the post-production work and since we have already locked the release date, we wanted to ensure everything wrapped up on time. Therefore, we have decided not to have a grand audio launch," the film's director Nesan told IANS.
Vijay's last two releases "Thuppakki" and "Thalaivaa" had grand functions for their audio launch.
Nesan added that what matters finally is the music.
"If the music is good then it will automatically be received well. We don't have to necessarily promote it in the market. I think the music of our film won't disappoint fans," he said.
D. Imman has composed the music for "Jilla".
Both the films are slated to battle it out at the box office next year.
