"Almost the Capital of the United States" Top 5 Page for this destination Havre de Grace by AlbuqRay
Havre de Grace Travel Guide: 80 reviews and 264 photos
Havre de Grace is named after the port city of Le Havre, France. Its name in French means "Harbor of Grace." It is located on the Chesapeake Bay at the mouth of the Susquehanna River in a strategic, but beautiful place. Havre de Grace has a long history, having lost the election to be the Nation's capital to Washington, D.C., by only one vote. I first started going there in the 1970's when I took business trips to nearby Aberdeen Proving Grounds. Now I stop in Havre de Grace when I visit my brother in Pennsylvania. I have not even come close to finishing the things to do there. Having a Walking Map for Havre de Grace is convenient.
From the shore near downtown Havre de Grace, looking upriver for about two miles, you can see two rail bridges and two highway bridges. There are also boats on the river. Its accessibility has made Havre de Grace a popular weekend retreat for people from Washington, D.C., and Baltimore. Many condos have been and are being built along the shoreline.
Amtrak's Susquehanna River Bridge is the first bridge you see looking upriver, then the Thomas J. Hatem Memorial Bridge (US-40). CSX Transportation's Perryville Railroad Bridge is next. It was originally constructed by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and carries a heavy volume of rail freight. The Perryville Railroad Bridge crosses the Susquehanna River above US-40 in the area of Garrett Island. The other bridge you can see is the Millard_E._Tydings_Memorial_Bridge (I-95). The next bridge is 9 miles upstream, where US-1 crosses the river over the Conowingo Dam.
There are many interesting museums in Havre de Grace. They include the Susquehanna Museum of Havre de Grace, the Havre de Grace Maritime Museum and the Havre de Grace Decoy Museum.
In 1802, the town was the southern end of the 45-mile Susquehanna Canal and later the longer Susquehanna and Tidewater Canal, which carried freight up and down the Susquehanna River between Havre de Grace and Wrightsville, PA, and connected to the Pennsylvania Canal. The lock keepers house and remnants of the canal are now a museum.
The Maritime Museum's motto is "Where Bay Life Begins." It's goal is to preserve and interpret the region's rich maritime heritage. Stop by and see what life in the past was like where the Susquehanna River meets the Chesapeake Bay. The news about the current way of life was not so good according to CNN on 16 Jul 08. The Bay's blue crab stock is down 70 percent since 1990. This makes life hard for the Chesapeake "watermen."
In the 1800's, Havre de Grace area became known for duck hunting. A strong cottage industry of decoy making arose and still exists today. The Havre de Grace Decoy Museum documents this heritage.
- Pros:Beautiful spot on the Chesapeake Bay
- Cons:Can get crowded on the weekends
- In a nutshell:Worth it if only for the view and crab cakes

Heidi, I changed the address for Price's to 654, but they have 650 on their web page. The restaurant does look like two houses connected together. Maybe that is why.
First off, i lived right next door to prices for MANY years!!! the address you have listed...650 water street...INCORRECT!!! in fact 650 water street is the address to the HOUSE right next door...the one I LIVED IN!!!!
Very informative page on the little town where I was born and raised. I lived here my first 40 years. I now live in Baltimore city.

I use this product to put on my makeup but the High setting for light is not bright enough.
Excellent mirror!
By Princess Skkoobie
from Choccolocco, AL
I use this daily to pluck eyebrows and to apply makeup. I love this mirror! I especially love the small 12x inset mirror for getting up close for tweezing! The only con I stated above, even with 2 lights inside, it's still dim. But if you have over-head lights on, you should be fine! I am glad it does have 2 lights inside since my previous lighted mirror only had 1.
Would buy this item again

About Me High-end Shopper
I was a little apprehensive about the price but I stand firm in the belief dillards handles quality products. This large mirror with three adjustments to the light is exactly wanted I wanted, but didn't know it. Not a flimsy plastic thing. Solid construction with stainless steel trim. The 15x insert showed eyelashes I didn't even know I had!

Collected Wisdom: ESPN's Mike Golic
Notre Dame has become a family affair for ESPN sportscaster Mike Golic, co-host of "Mike and Mike in the Morning," 5-9 a.m. weekdays on ESPN2 and ESPN radio. His sons, fifth-year senior Mike Jr. and senior Jake, play on the Irish football team. He made it to the big football game Saturday night in Norman after watching his daughter, Sydney, a freshman on the Notre Dame swim team, compete at a meet Friday in Auburn, Ala. His older brothers Bob, a three-time NFL Pro Bowler, and Greg also played on the Irish football team. He even met his wife, Christine, while at Notre Dame; she was a student at neighboring St. Mary's College.
When Bob made Notre Dame his college choice, I think I was 11 years old. What was cool was I got to see Notre Dame in a kid's eye, meeting the Joe Montanas and the Ross Browners and the Willie Frys, those kind of guys. I was kind of wide-eyed. It was a cool thing. When my brother Greg went there, I was only a year behind him. Now I saw all those same people at Notre Dame as more like my age. I could fit in here and I could do this as well. I was recruited by a lot of places across the country, but that was the only place I wanted to go.
After I spent my time there, it led to the kids going through their recruitment and such. I tried to tell them, "Don't go there because I went there. You got to go where it's right for you." They were like, "We get that," and as soon as Notre Dame offered, they took it. My daughter was an excellent swimmer and that was her thought as well. It's truly a family affair there now. Mike is the starting right guard and he started about five or so games at center last year. Jake (a tight end) has unfortunately had some injury issues. He dealt with a broken arm and surgery on his back last year and he rebroke the arm this year.
It's a very, very pressure-packed job to coach at Notre Dame. You're independent. You don't have to deal with any conferences, but you're on your own. It's all on your shoulders and you got to get it done. It's a national school. You want to make sure you're on the West Coast every year, either playing USC or Stanford. I think that adds to the pressure of it. It's kind of on the lines of the Yankees, like the Dallas Cowboys. There has always been that you either love them or hate them. There's not a whole lot of in-between with Notre Dame. People watch them because they love them or people watch them because they hate them and want to see them lose. When I used to go on road games, there would be thousands of people waiting when we got to the hotel. You go to the stadium and there are thousands of subway alums, as we call them, all over the place.
I was team captain as a senior. That was truly an honor. My brother Bob was a captain as well. Unfortunately, my years didn't go that well. I think my best year was 7-4. If I had to pick a game, it was probably on the road my sophomore year. We played against Pittsburgh. They were No. 1 in the country and 7-0. Dan Marino was the quarterback and just about their entire offensive line ended up in the NFL. We went to Pittsburgh and we beat them. It was a huge win for us. We got back to Notre Dame and there were thousands of people lining the streets, waiting for us to come home. It was truly like, wow, a big-game experience. Unfortunately in my years, those were a little too far apart.
Most of my NFL career was with the Philadelphia Eagles. Unfortunately, there again as well, every time we made the playoffs, we lost in the first round. That was a shame. I never made any Pro Bowls. I was your average player. I played nine years. It was a nice career. I certainly enjoyed it and wouldn't trade it for anything.
I didn't go to school for broadcasting; I was a business major. I always was pretty friendly with the media, giving them quotes here or there. Sometimes in a tough game they knew they could get a quote out of me. I knew they had a job to do. Eagles quarterback Randall Cunningham had a TV show, and I did a little three-minute bit on it every week, kind of a humorous look at the upcoming opponent. It was called "Golic's Got It." It was kind in the right place at the right time, it won like a local Emmy. ESPN actually called me while I was still playing and they said, 'Hey in the offseason, would you like to come and do some stuff with us?' When I retired, I started doing some other stuff with them, calling some college games, doing some pieces. That was in 1995 and it has kind of evolved to where I am today.
The morning show actually started with me and a different co-host (Tony Bruno) in October 1998. Greeny (Mike Greenberg) and I took over for good right at the beginning of 2000. We're basically in on our 13th year together. We absolutely have great chemistry, that's something you can't fake. He's a guy who grew up as a sports fan, then went to journalism school at Northwestern. I was an athlete. So we really come at things from a different perspective. We do get along. I'm a family guy. He's a family guy. His kids are a lot younger than mine, but it's a family show. We don't cross the line. We don't get real blue. We're not into that. We like talking about our wives and kids on the air.
I can't complain at all about my career. I played sports all my life. I get to talk about sports and I get to watch my kids play sports. My wife is way into sports. It's been an incredible path. I've been very, very lucky.

Yep. And I've been using this method for years. It's 100% natural and over 97% effective. The baby's gender can be determined by the mother's pH. Ask any doctor, it's true and backed by science. Male sperm favor an alkaline enviornment and female sperm favor an acidic enviornment so you should adjust your pH accordingly. Test your urine pH with pH testing strips (you can buy them through Amazon). Girls can be conceived in a pH less than 6.0 and boys are conceived in a pH more than 7.5. It's so easy! I recomend this to everyone I know. PN to me if you need any help.

interesting Mia, and I always believed there was more to it than just 50/50 chances because some women have all one gender....how do you change your ph? that is so interesting....

I like your backwards alphabetical name sequence. Guess you have to stop when you get to "A" LOL
There's a chapter in "Taking Charge of your Fertility" by Toni Weschler about gender selection. It talks about DTD on different days of the month depending on whether or not your are trying for a girl or a boy. It matters because of the difference in how male sperm and female sperm swim and survive. Of course, you have to be tracking your cycle to know your exact peak day of ovulation. Basically, the rules are:
You should have intercourse several days before your peak day, but preferably not closer than 2 days before (if you're hoping for a girl).
You should have intercourse on your Peak day, as well as the following day (if you're hoping for a boy)
That's all I know! We have never used this method so I can't comment further.

Sugarcookie--- Are you interested in conceiving a girl or boy? I just had someone to send me a note asking for more info about conceiving a girl so here's what I told her:
Okay here it goes: I found that the best way to adjust your pH for a girl is by using supplements. There are foods that you can eat that decreases pH and there are foods to avoid that will increase your pH. Personally I like to eat whatever I want and the food guidelines can be a little bit confusing, so I depend on supplements. The key supplements you need are cranberry vitamins (4 per day), calcium(2/day), magnesium (2/day), folic acid, citric acid, ascorbic acid (which is vitamin C, take 2/day). Another thing that causes a BIG sudden decrease in pH is Sudafed. Take Sudafed an hour or 2 before intercourse. DH and I are kinda spontaneous with dtd so it's hard to plan it 1 hour after I've taken Sudafed. So I just take it about 4 times a day. Also aspartame artificial sweetener is good for decreasing pH. I'm not a fan of the taste, but it's worth it :-). I just use about 4-6 packets of Equal per day. Another rule to remember is to watch the salt intake. Too much salt can increase your pH into the "boy" zone. Make sure you drink plenty of water because it's important for calcium absorption. This tidbit has nothing to do with pH, but girls do well in warmer environments so have DH to take a hot shower before dtd. I think that's all that I can think of at the moment, but if I remember more I'll let you know.

1. Mrs. DoubtfireHitchcock proved long ago that few things in life are scarier than a man dressed as a woman while wreaking havoc. So it makes perfect sense that our No. 1 spot goes to an incredibly well-edited recut of Mrs. Doubtfire. Instead of being told the story of a loving father driven to absurd lengths to spend time with his children, we're given the story of a loving father driven to murderous rage in order to spend time with his children. Shots of the Doubtfire mask slipping off Robin Williams' face beg to be compared with their horror movie equivalents, like, say, Hannibal Lecter's face mask in Silence of the Lambs. Hitchcock himself would be proud of this one. From YouTuber wikkidprawn.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon weighs in on banking regulation
As CEO, president and chairman of JPMorgan Chase & Co., the $2 trillion multinational banking and financial services holding company, Jamie Dimon is arguably the world's most prominent banker.
Dimon, 57, is in Oklahoma City this week, visiting with Chase employees, clients and local policymakers. He also wanted to take note of the $1.2 million that his company, employees and customers contributed to Oklahoma's relief efforts after the deadly spring tornadoes.
Dimon's road trip also took him to two other Midwest states, where he planned to spread a message of optimism.
"I get to travel the world; I get to see everything and when I come back to the United States, it always reminds me how good we have it," he said. "I wish the message got out more: Best military; best universities, best businesses — being large or small; best technology from factory floor to Steve Jobs; widest, deepest, most transparent markets the world has ever seen. And that's not Wall Street, but investors, individuals, corporations, private equity, venture capital and public and private capital markets; a great rule of law, a great work ethic, very low corruption. This country has it all."
Chase is the largest bank in America, and the fourth-largest deposit-holder in Oklahoma. Chase was one of the nation's few huge financial institutions that weathered the economic crisis without tottering or crumbling, and Dimon earned plaudits for his leadership.
However, Chase and Dimon last year were forced to disclose an embarrassing $6 billion loss by an overseas derivatives trader. In response, the company cut Dimon's annual pay in half, from $23 million to $11.5 million.
Earlier this year, Chase agreed to pay $410 million to federal regulators after the firm's electricity traders used a variety of deceptive tactics to gouge ratepayers.
The increasing concentration of assets among the nation's largest banks in the wake of the economic crisis has raised alarm among some, including native Oklahoman Elizabeth Warren, the U.S. senator representing Massachusetts. Warren, backed by Sen. John McCain among others, has called for a 21st-century version of the Glass-Steagall Act, which would force banks to spin off their investment banking operations.
Dimon, during a brief telephone interview with The Oklahoman, weighed in on such regulation and other matters. This is an edited version of that conversation.
Q: I wanted to ask you your feelings about native Oklahoman Elizabeth Warren and her push for a new Glass-Steagall law?
A: I have a very good relationship with Elizabeth. It doesn't mean we have to agree on everything.
Our issues have nothing to do with Glass-Steagall in America. And a lot of the rest of the world didn't have Glass-Steagall and didn't have problems, like Canada, Australia, Japan, etc. So obviously we all have a huge vested interest in having a really strong financial system and a strong regulatory system. How you do it, you can have long debates on the right way to do it — there's not necessarily just one right way to do it. Maybe several. But there are so many things being passed. At one point, we've got to take a deep breath and get one of them done. Finish it. Dodd-Frank accomplishes most of what people want to accomplish.
Q: Some argue that your bank is simply too big, and shouldn't be engaging in some kinds of investment with implicit and explicit support of government protections.
A: It's a fiction when people come up with a number that banks are subsidized. They are not. If you look at the analytics that people come up with, we borrow money in the marketplace every day. We pay the same that a single-A industrial company would pay. What kind of subsidy is that? That means the real money buyers are demanding a premium — a rich premium — to do our debt. If we had the implicit support of the government, we would be trading like Fannie Mae debt, which has the implicit support and they trade at 10 to 20 basis points over Treasuries.
We're a big money center bank. We borrow money around the world; we lend money around the world. They confuse the numbers when they talk about the average costs of deposits. Our average, if you actually go down to a branch, look at what we pay at our branch and what the competitor pays across the street, they're the same and very competitive. There's no subsidy of one versus the other. It's a fiction.
And the thing about size, size really relates to do you bring good things to your clients? Do your clients come to you because you give them some things better, faster, quicker, bundled the way they like, etc. If you didn't, you'd lose business. The proof is in the pudding. We win business because we do certain things really well and clients like us. No client — zero — has to come and do business with us. We do business with certain companies in 20 different countries. You cannot be a global bank for huge companies like Caterpillar and Exxon and think you'll be small. It's not possible. I do not understand. You must be very thoughtful when you talk about 'just too big.'
Obviously, being big has some negatives too. It's not all positives. The positives are huge kinds of scale, the ability to do things in 40 countries. But, yeah, it's creates some complexities, sometimes creates some negatives. But that's true for airplanes, it's true for cars, it's true for pharmaceuticals. In fact, it's true for friggin' progress. OK? I just don't understand why someone says in this area, it's too big, but not in that area. Cars crash, planes crash, pharmas are misused. Does that mean we should give up on all those things and cut them way down in size so we don't have that kind of complexity? People should be really careful what they mean, they should put logic around this one — not just statements.
Q: So you don't think as long as you're growing organically you can really get too big?
A: No. You're always trying to simplify it and you're always trying to do it. But remember if you look at the size of the large banks versus the economy and versus the large companies we bank, they still pretty much parallel.
We did a $20 billion bridge loan for AT&T over a weekend. Do you want the Chinese banks to be doing that in 10 years? Because that's what will happen. If you think that somehow the need for global banks will go away, they won't. It will just be filled by other people. Obviously, if you're good, you earn good returns, you win clients, you have fewer mistakes — not no mistakes. That's another fiction that somehow you're not going to make a mistake somewhere.
Q: Chase does so many things besides traditional banking, is that still the most important business of your company?
A: We're pretty traditional bankers, I think. You say that. What are you referring to?
Q: All kinds of other investing, more than just taking in deposits and making loans.
A: People have this view that somehow taking in deposits and making loans is traditional banking. The average bank makes loans of all various types, very complex loans — revolver loans, receivables, inventory, real estate — and all different types of deposits — customers, savings accounts, checking accounts, business accounts. The average bank usually does some kind of private-client stuff like asset management, private client, middle-market lending, small-business lending. We do all those things.
The only thing we do which is — and we're big — that most of the regional banks don't do is what I'm going to call global banking general. We move money around the world. We raise capital around the world. We raise huge sums of money for big companies on Wall Street. So that's the unique thing we have that others don't. We'll do business with a company like General Motors in 20 countries. We'll do a $5 billion loan for General Motors in four currencies. Those are different things, but honestly, it's just banking for big companies. They just do it differently.

A rri to rexas i 155
N THE 1850's, Texas was a somewhat glamorous land, luring
the adventurous to seek honor and riches there. Many a man
made a fortune in Texas, but others went home sadly disillu-
sioned. John H. James' of Urbana, Ohio, smarting from catas-
trophic business troubles, went to Texas in 1855 to look after some
legal business and to look over the country with a view to settling
there. On his way down the Mississippi to New Orleans, he wrote
to his mother that while in Texas he would "judge whether that
region ha[d] any inducement" for him "to become a resident of
the South" to which he inclined "somewhat strongly." "I am
weary of Ohio plunder, under the form of tax laws and courts,"
he wrote.
James was a brilliant scholar, a successful and competent lawyer,
a speculator in lands, a railroad builder, a banker who held views
ahead of his time, and a fluent writer and lecturer.
With his wife Abby he left Louisville, Kentucky, on January
21, 1855, on a steamboat bound for New Orleans. A number of
persons on board were bound for Texas. The men talked and read;
the women talked and sewed.
Nearly every evening a dance was held in the main cabin. An
entry in James's diary, dated January 27, describes one of these
We had a dance tonight in the cabin for the ladies, and when that
was over, sport was resumed near the bar, with a dance by the fiddler,
aided by the banjo, in which was displayed all the peculiarities of the
negro dance, shuffle, hopping, turning, &c.: a young Kentuckian sitting
by, and on his way to Texas, by way of Red River, caught fire at the
sight, and springing to the floor, surpassed the first one, in activity,
rapidity & flippancy of feet ... and then whirled himself out of the
ring to his seat again. We retired to our beds a little later than usual,
& when we were in our berths, we could hear that the mirth took a
diversion into song.
One day John listened to two Hoosiers talking about farming.

Having failed to secure enough funds to move all Fawtlies to Myrtle Beach, SC, I The Lord President, have decided that as of September of this year the Capitol shall be moved to Houston Texas.
This location was chosen not only for it's high Fawtl population, but also because that's where my wife's new job is. But regardless of the reasons, Houston you have been chosen to be the new Fawtl Capitol of the World.
Poor Houston.
We are getting ready to start a new Kingmaker game with two new players to Pathfinder. My wife wants to play a Druid, worshiper of Demeter, and neither she nor I really like Wild Shape.
So here's my question, what would you folks do to replace Wild Shape as a class feature... and a loss of armor proficency?
One of the things I was thinking about doing was opening up certain Sorcerer Bloodlines to her, things like Dreamspun, or Starsoul, to add an air of mysticism to ther character.
I can't think of anything in my life as precious to me as my wonderful wife. A few of y'all have met her and you know how wonderful she is, so here it is, a public declaration of my unending love for her. I love her for so many reasons, not the least of which is putting up with my moody ass.
1. I love her for her smile, it's infectious.
2. I love her gentle nature, it keeps me in check.
3. I love her for the way she makes me want to be a better man.
4. I love her for the three beautiful children she gave me.
5. I love her for the way she still seems innocent and pure, even after all this time.
6. I love her for the passion she brings out.
7. I love the way she still gets giddy over a cheesy romance.
8. I love the way she curls into me when we sit watching movies.
9. I love her eyes, so full of caring and love.
10. I love the way she tries so hard to make me happy.
11. I love that she challenges me, we don't always agree and that's fine.
12. I love how hard she works for our family.
13. I love her for being my friend, and that's not easy.
14. I love her for being my lover, adventurous and full of passion.
15. I love how smart she is.
16. I love the look in her eyes when she looks at me, it makes me feel invincible.
17. I love the fact that she gets excited about PF game night... days in advance.
18. I love her dreamer nature, she believes that anything is possible, and makes me believe it too.
19. I love the way her skin feels under my fingers.
20. I love the taste of her kisses, I just can't stop kissing her sometimes.
There's 20 reasons, feel free to chime in with why you love your wife too, or your husband if you have one. ;)
Yes. He can. It's allowed by his Code of Conduct, and backed up by his alignment, which is LPM. That's Lethal Psychotic Man for you n00bs.
In light of some of the crap you've had to put up with on your Christmas holiday, I thought I'd take the time to try and bring a little holiday cheer to you, and invite others to do the same.
Merry Christmas Gary, I hope you and the lovely Missus have a quiet(er) and stress free very Merry Christmas. I hope everyone will join me in giving you the gift of a headache free holiday.
It occurs to me that FAWTL has become a rather eclectic mixing bowl of people. We have a wide variety of opinions and interest among us, and music taste is no exception. So I invite my fellow FAWTLies and others to post music that appeals to us, or just to drop in and have a listen.
So with that in mind I, you're Mad Host Misssssssster MOORLUCK offer you these...
Colin Hay-Overkill
Weed Card-Garfunkel and Oats
The Legendary Johnny Cash, with God Will Cut You Down.
Let's see what we else we can offer up to the masses.
SO it has come to my attention that many of you do not understand the awesome intellect of the man called TOZ. Feel free to challenge his acerbic wit, but be warned for The TOZ always knows best.
And to prove this theory, I will ask the first question of the mighty wizard of TOZ.
Dear TOZ, how did you get to be so damn smart?
Over the last couple of months I have noticed a massive increase in trolling around here. Common decency and respect have gone the way of the Dodo it seems. After taking a couple of different "cool down" periods, I kept coming back to the same old BS. The sense of community that was what drew me to become an active poster here has gone away, it seems for good. After we have been called a gang, a clique, and everything but late for dinner we FaWTLies have decided that it really isn't the home we once thought it was, so we leave it you guys, feel free to flame and bash away. You've proven that a diverse group who can embrace political, religious, and even sexual differences has no place here, where the troll is protected even though the decent human being is the endangered species.
So to all of you who have stalked us, insulted us, and otherwise just been jerks. Farewell Jackhats!
Love, FaWTL.
over an hour.
I know not a great long time, but I'm done. I burn way to much money on the damn things, and when my oldest son asked me if he was good at school would I quit I said yes. So I've been trying to smoke less and less over the last week or so, but today I didn't bother buying any more. So here goes. :S
See what happens when you mess with Fawtl!?
We don't die, we MULTIPLY!
And on this day did Lord Moorluck, lord of the Kingdom of Chaos look over his land, nestled in a crazed corner of some crazed Fairy Tale Realm. Bordered on one side by The River of Dreams, and on the other by a forest known only as The Woods, it was a mighty kingdom made even mightier still by his loyal army of werebadgers led by the feirce Lord Secretary of Ass Kicking, Taig. But troubled was his ignoble brow this day, for just this morn was he stirred from his revels with the insatiable Lady Solnes, and her harrem of nymphs, and told most distressing news. Fendri, the widow of Fenris the Wolfman had woven a dark spell against his house.SHe had filed a Lawsuit, charging his administration guilty of failing to prevent the death of her husband at the hands of those vile criminals, Porkchop, Bacon, and Hamhock, known collectivly as The Three Evil Pigs. His gaurds were all drunk on wine brought from the Glade of Mairkurion, and so were worthless. He needed dupes, fools, patsies. Not that he couldn't just ride out on his horse and slay the criminals himself, but he killed his horse in a drunken brawl last week over who got the last beer. Who would he get to handle this problem he wondered, maybe if he threw in a one night pass to Mairkurion's Hall of Dryads he could get someone to sign up.
With his riders sent to the four or five corners of his realm, The Lord President knew that by tomorrow he would have some fools to attend this quest. Which worked just fine for him, gave him more time to chase his lady around the palace.
The next day found him sitting in his throne looking down at the motly crew standing before him, "I guess you're the best we've got then, fair enough, you look like you can at least handle yourselves in a good brawl." He stands and steps towards the group of you, his enchanted greatsword, "Vote Changer", draped across his shoulder. "I have a problem, a problem that I need taken care of, a problem that could prove profitable for you. You see just last week I had a visit from that bedazzled nightmare Sebastan, it seems that he was hired by Mrs Wolf, widow of the late Mr BB Wolf. She wants retribution for his death, either I have to bring his killers to justice, or prepare to fight her lawsuit in court, HAVE YOU SEEN OUR COURTS!? I will not spend days presiding over this nonsense. I want you to go into the Forest Enchanted, find those damn pigs, and bring me back some country ham."
He looks at you as if to give you permission to ask whatever questions you may have.
Ok here is the discussion for our own insane little PbP. The rules are simple, PF system, starting level is 3rd, any race/class combo is fine, as you can tell it's going to be a little... off. The old Greek Gods still hold sway in this realm and the Point Buy is 25 points. Any questions? Ok, so lets get my first PbP DM experience under way! :)
EDIT: And I just realized that I put this in the wrong place. Uhm.... Gary, could you please move this thread to where it belongs? No, not the trash, to PbPs. :P
This is the 'meet and greet' thread for the face to face game at the FAWTLY gatering in May, please post info about the PCs here so I we can get them to know one another, then I will get things started here
I am one of the least tech savvy people I know, and I have a silly question. I have the PS3, and am playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, I have set the system up on the Playstation network, downloaded the latest version of the game, but how do I get the downloadable characters, Juggernaught, Magneto, Cable, Carnage, and Psylocke? What am I missing?
Welcome all to our temple of naughtiness. We will comense in our services to the Lovely Lynora as soon as our Lady arrives! Our rules are simple and sweet, just like us! We love Lynora and eachother too!
Ok, as I am expecting to receive delivery of my PF core rulebook in the next week or so, I have a request for you guys. My wife loves playing a Druid, but she, and I, hate Wild Shape. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good replacement feature? Maybe granting access to either Animal or Plant Domains, but they get alot of those spells anyway. Open to ideas.
So taig gave me this idea, blame him too! I feel that there should be Jell-O wrestling televised, even an Olympic team. What say you guys? ;P
I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the men and women, past and present who serve in the Armed Forces. Thank you for your courage, your honor, and your sacrifice. I ask that each of us remembers the upcomming holiday for what it's meaning is, to honor those that protect you. God bless you all.
OK so here I am think about how the succubus is such a "spell-happy" creature and being the fan I am of such creatures I was wondering if anyone on the boards could offer advice on a succubus that uses contact poisens to incite her prey and fog their minds instead of all the spell casting? I want to remove most of her spell like abilities and instead make her a more physical threat.
Just curious. I actually use alot of stuff from the BoEF in my game.I DM for a group of adults (no kids allowed fo obvious reasons) and find that it's actually a pretty good source for stuff like pregnancy rates and gestation periods...does anybody else use the book or am I the lone perve here?
I'd like to hear from others who game with, or as in my case DM with their spouse, how do you guys handle it and does it cause any "special" problems in your campaigns?

Two weeks ago, Amazon raised its minimum purchase for free shipping to $35. But there's more bad news for some customers.
"Laws that take effect in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Wisconsin Friday mean about 163 million Americans in 16 states will have to pay tax on their diapers, books and other goods on Amazon," The Wall Street Journal wrote late last week. That's a little more than half of the U.S. population.
Including those new additions, here's the full list of states from Amazon itself:
- Arizona
- California
- Connecticut
- Georgia
- Kansas
- Kentucky
- Massachusetts
- New Jersey
- New York
- North Dakota
- Pennsylvania
- Texas
- Virginia
- Washington
- West Virginia
- Wisconsin
Amazon has long fought against sales tax. The company hopes its challenge against New York's sales tax rules will wind up in the U.S. Supreme Court, the WSJ says.
But a Supreme Court decision in 1992 allowed states where Amazon has a physical presence to require it to collect sales tax. As the company has expanded and built warehouses across the country for quicker delivery, states have pushed to get a slice of Amazon's pie. Wisconsin expects to collect $30 million a year from Amazon, Reuters says.
The company does support a bill in Congress that would allow all states to require state sales tax collection by online retailers, whether or not they have a presence in a state. But that's mainly "in order to level the playing field with e-commerce rivals who don't have affiliates," the WSJ says.
Amazon also probably sees this as a battle it's losing. New Jersey and Virginia began requiring tax collection this summer, Bankrate says, while Indiana, Nevada and Tennessee will begin requiring it next year. In the next few years, South Carolina and Florida plan to require it, too.
The WSJ notes that a Wells Fargo survey of Texans last year found consumers didn't change their buying habits based on a new sales tax. Anecdotally, that seems to be the case in other areas.
What about you? Will or would sales tax on Amazon goods deter you from shopping there? Comment below or on our Facebook page. (By the way, where Amazon doesn't collect sales tax, residents are supposed to pay it themselves to their state. But it appears hardly anyone does.)

I am using an ng-repeat to iterate over objects for displaying in Angular and each of these objects contains a select element containing a property of the object.
I want to filter options based off the selected value for each of the objects' other properties (whew, this is harder to explain than I thought) but the problem is that these are Breeze entities and if I use the traditional method Angular provides the stack throws an overflow exception due to the cyclic nature of Breeze entities.
I have found a good example by Ward on how to create a more static function to handle the filtering, but I am trying to make it more dynamic and am struggling -
In the view I have a list of available fighters, which should be filtered by a fights' weight class, so for each fight in the ng-repeat's fights there is a weight class selector, and two fighter selectors -
Attempt 1 -
ng-options="f.fullName for f in fighters | filter: fighterFilter">
ng-options="w.fullName for w in weightClasses">
$scope.fighterFilter = function (fighter) {
var fight = ???;
return fight.weightClass ?
-1 != fighter.weightClass === fight.weightClass :
I have tried sending nothing as shown, but the problem is it only sends the fighter's value as it iterates through each available fighter, so I can't get the value of the fight.weightClass.
Any idea of how to get the context of fight and the fighter I am iterating over? Or a better approach to filtering this way?
Fighters Structure
- Id
- Name
- WeightClassId
- WeightClass (navigation property)
- FirstFighter
- SecondFighter
- WeightClassId
- WeightClass (navigation property)
- Id
- Weight
- Description
- FullName
I have been able to filter results for s single fight without a problem, the problem is how to dynamically handle this on a per fight basis in the same view under the ng-repeat directive. I cannot get the context of 'fight' and 'fighter' to compare whether the 'weight class' value of both entities match.

One possible use would be to apply different logic to elements of the list:
Although this is just an example, using mutable variables like this is considered by many to be a war crime - So please don't do it!
A much better solution is to use collect twice:

This invention relates to a method and apparatus for mixing a resin and a catalyst and, more particularly, to an apparatus for efficiently mixing a high viscosity heavily filled resin with a catalyst and pressurized air wherein the catalyst and pressurized air are mixed before introduction to the resin.
Resins have numerous uses including, but not limited to the construction of swimming pools, the exterior coating of buildings, the protective interior coating of tanks, as well as the protective coating of secondary containment walls. A resin such as polyester is typically applied to a surface with a catalyst such as methyl-ethyl-ketone peroxide. Catalysts allow the resin to polymerize and cure. The present state of the art methods of resin application involve the spraying of the resin and methyl-ethyl-ketone peroxide onto a particular surface with a spray gun. A variety of spray guns are known in the art.
An internal mix gun is often used when solvent emissions are a problem, because internal mixing limits the amount of atomized material and catalyst exiting the gun. Internal mix guns generally have three feed lines, a resin line and a catalyst line which feed into a manifold, and an air line. The resin and catalyst are typically mixed in the manifold. After mixing, the resin and catalyst are expelled from the gun in confluence through a nozzle or similar orifice with pressurized air from the air line. The pressurized air supplies sufficient pressure so that the resin and catalyst are sheared and atomized as they are expelled from the gun. A major drawback of this type of gun is that during a spraying operation, catalyzed resin often backs up into and catalyzes within the air supply. Catalyzed resin in the air supply leads to costly and time-consuming down time while the spraying operation is shut down and the air supply is cleared of any obstructions. Standard check valves are rarely effective as they quickly become hardened shut with catalyzed resin or the internal workings of the check valve become frozen with catalyzed resin. Yet another problem with this type of gun is that a portion of the catalyst supply line extends beyond the on/off valve (i.e. between the on/off valve and the manifold) so that when the device is turned off, some catalyst drains from the end of the supply line into the manifold thereby wasting catalyst.
A second type of gun typically used is an external mix gun. In an external mix gun, the resin and catalyst are atomized and expelled separately and directed toward one another. The resin and catalyst combine in the air shortly before contacting the article being treated. A major drawback of the external mix gun is the incomplete mixing of resin and catalyst, which often leads to patches of incompletely catalyzed resin appearing on the finished article. Such portions of uncatalyzed resin can produce points of weakness or blisters on the surface of the finished article.
A more important problem with external mix guns is the exterior atomization of the catalyst. Because of the incomplete mixing of the catalyst with the resin, much of the atomized catalyst disperses into the atmosphere and, more particularly, in the immediate work environment where the application is taking place. Concern over the safety of workers breathing catalyst contaminated air has led to numerous restrictions on the use of external mix guns. Such guns have even been completely banned in at least one state.
Yet another type of gun is disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,388,767, 5,388,768, and 5,388,763. In the device disclosed in these patents the resin and catalyst are not mixed in a manifold nor are they mixed after they are expelled. Rather, in these devices, the resin and catalyst are separately introduced into a mixing tube where they mix as they migrate toward the spray tip of the mixing tube. Separately combined with the mixing tube is a pressurized air stream which introduces pressurized air into the mixing tube. The pressurized air aids in mixing the catalyst and resin in the mixing tube and also aids in expelling the catalyst/resin mixture out of the end (spray tip) of the mixing tube. One problem with this design is that in order to prevent the resin from backing up into the catalyst supply line in the event of a clog in the mixing tube, it is necessary to introduce the catalyst into the mixing tube at the same pressure as the resin is introduced, which can approach 3000 pounds per square inch (psi) depending on the viscosity of the resin. It is undesirable to introduce catalyst at such high pressures since catalyst can often be corrosive and dangerous. If a catalyst line ruptured at high pressure, the catalyst could spray violently thereby potentially causing serious damage to life and property. Another problem with the design disclosed in these patents is that it can be difficult for the thick resin to thoroughly mix with the watery catalyst as the catalyst and resin migrate through the mixing tube. In fact, the relatively high viscosity catalyst often creates its own path as it travels through the mixing tube instead of completely mixing with the resin, thereby resulting in incomplete mixing of the resin and catalyst.
The difficulties encountered in the prior art discussed herein above are substantially eliminated by the present invention.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a spray gun wherein the catalyst is introduced and atomized in the air supply line before it is introduced to the resin so that the pressure at which the catalyst is supplied to the system only needs to approximate the pressure at which the air is supplied to the system.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a spray gun wherein the catalyst is introduced and atomized in the air supply line before it is introduced to the resin so that the atomized catalyst thoroughly mixes with the resin in the mixing tube.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a spray gun with a means for supplying an air/catalyst mixture to a resin wherein the resin does not clog the air supply means.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a spray gun with means for preventing unmixed catalyst from draining from the end of the supply line when the spray gun is not in use.
These and other objects of the present invention will become apparent upon reference to the following specifications, drawings, and claims.
By the present invention, it is proposed to overcome the difficulties encountered heretofore. To this end, a catalyst and resin sprayer is provided capable of providing a resin in confluence with a catalyst, whereby the catalyst is introduced to and atomized by pressurized air before its introduction with the resin. The sprayer is capable of applying the resin/catalyst mixture to a surface to provide a catalyzed resin coating on the surface. The sprayer has a mixer capable of receiving and mixing the resin and catalyst into a substantially homogeneous mixture. Means operably connected to the mixer for directing the resin and catalyst to the mixer are also provided on the sprayer.
Operably connected to the mixer are means for supplying the pressurized air to the mixer. The catalyst is introduced to and atomized by the pressurized air before it is introduced to the resin in the mixing tube. Upon introduction to the mixing tube, the pressurized air/catalyst serves to mix the catalyst and resin as well as help eject the catalyst and resin mixture from the end of the mixing tube. Means are also provided for spraying the atomized flow of resin and catalyst onto the surface to provide the catalyzed resin coating on the surface. Operably connected to the pressurized air supplying means are means for preventing the resin from entering the pressurized air/catalyst supplying means.
In the one embodiment of the present invention, the means for preventing the resin in the mixer from entering the pressurized air supplying means includes a check valve with a Teflon seat and a stainless steel stopper held in the seat by a spring. The tension on the spring is adjusted so that the stopper moves away from the seat only when the air/catalyst pressure against the seat is greater than the pressure of the resin against the seat.
In the drawings:
In the Figures, a resin application system, specifically, a spray gun 10 is provided with a manifold 12, having a catalyst inlet 26 and a resin inlet 27 (
As seen in
In one embodiment, the manifold 12 is tooled with channels forming two cylindrical passageways, a catalyst passageway 18 and a resin passageway 20 (
Preferably, connected to the catalyst passageway 18 is a pressure gauge 24 which is mounted to the exterior of the manifold 12, yet operably connected to the passageway 18 to keep the operator informed of the pressure at which the catalyst is moving through the passageway 18 (
Preferably, the gauge 24 measures pressures from zero to over one thousand pounds per square inch. During normal operation, the spray gun 10 is operated with a catalyst pressure of between about ninety and one hundred thirty pounds per square inch since the catalyst pressure need only match the air pressure to unseat check valve 107 and allow catalyst to flow through the system, as is further discussed below. If the pressure drops below about ninety pounds per square inch, the pump (not shown) providing catalyst to the gun 10 should be adjusted to increase the flow of catalyst through the gun 10. If the pressure quickly rises to over about one hundred thirty pounds per square inch, the gun 10 is likely blocked with a plug of resin. The gun 10 must then be cleared of any obstruction. If the pressure rises and falls between zero and a normal pressure, the catalyst pump is likely only pumping on one stroke instead of two. The pump must then be repaired to assure accurate application of catalyst and resin. Although a catalyst pressure range of between ninety and one hundred thirty pounds per square inch is given as an example, the pressure may be lower or higher depending on the particular application.
Preferably, mounted to the catalyst input 26 of the manifold 12 is a stainless steel catalyst pipe nipple 28 (
Preferably, connected to the resin input 27 of the manifold 12 is a restricted orifice union 22 (
The diameter of the hole in the orifice plate 42 is somewhat smaller than the interior diameter of the resin connection pipe 38 so that a plug passing through the resin connection pipe 38 is stopped at the orifice plate 42 before entering the manifold 12. When such a clog occurs, the force of spray from the gun 10 will substantially decrease, thereby notifying the operator that the coupling nut 36 must be removed from the orifice nipple 34. After the coupling nut 36 has been removed from the orifice nipple 34, the orifice plate 42 is removed and the resin connection pipe 38 is cleared of any obstruction. The restricted orifice union 22 thereby allows quick, in-the-field removal of plugs. The restricted orifice union 22 is extremely useful as no tools are required to remove plugs from the resin line, even in the field. It is imperative to remove plugs from the line before such plugs reach the resin passageway 20 of the manifold 12, where they would require extensive downtime to be removed (
Connected to the resin connection pipe 38 is a resin ball valve assembly 44 (
The relief valve 50 is provided with a handle 51 which opens and closes the valve 50. The handle 51 may be opened and the valve 50 placed over a reservoir of resin (not shown) to purge the line of air before spraying. The valve 50 may also be used to recycle resin which has been sitting in the line for an extended period of time to prevent settled resin from being applied to a surface.
Operably connected between the catalyst ball valve assembly 30 and the resin ball valve assembly 44 is a ball valve yoke 54, which, when rotated, simultaneously opens both the catalyst ball valve assembly 30 and the resin ball valve assembly 44 (
The resin and handle connector 58 is also a cylindrical piece of steel, but fits over the resin ball valve orifice control 64 (
A switch handle shaft 70 is secured to the resin and handle connector 58. In the preferred embodiment, the switch handle shaft 70 is a steel rod threaded on either end. One end of the shaft 70 is screwed into the resin and handle connector 58, and a handle ball 72 is screwed onto the opposite end of the switch handle shaft 70 to make the shaft 70 easier to grasp and maneuver.
In one embodiment of the present invention, when the shaft is perpendicular to both the catalyst pipe nipple 28 and orifice nipple 34, the ball valves 30 and 44 are closed, thereby preventing the flow of either catalyst or resin into the manifold 12 of the spray gun 10. When the handle ball 72 is pushed toward the manifold 12, the catalyst ball valve assembly 30 and resin ball valve assembly 34 are opened, thereby allowing catalyst and resin to enter the catalyst and resin passageways 18 and 20 of the manifold 12 (
In one embodiment, the resin passageway 20 emerges at the forward end of the manifold 12 at a ferrule mount 74 (
The catalyst passageway 18 emerges from the manifold 12 and is directed into the air supply line (
The first check valve 107 may be similar to the check valve shown in
A unique feature of the present invention is that the catalyst pressure need only match the air pressure to unseat check valve 107 and allow catalyst to flow through the system. As discussed above, many prior art devices require the catalyst pressure to match the resin pressure (which can approximate 3000 psi) to ensure resin did not back-up into the catalyst line. The design of the present invention overcomes the need to have the catalyst introduced at such a high pressure because the catalyst is introduced through the air supply line and therefore only needs to match the pressure of the air being introduced, which is typically much lower than the pressure at which the resin is introduced. Typically, in the present invention, air pressure is introduced between about ninety and one hundred thirty psi and flows at about ten cubic feet per min (cfm).
After passing through the first check valve 107 the catalyst is directed into the air supply line, preferably into the ninety-degree adapter 120 of the air line as shown in
In one embodiment shown in
The check valve 106 is designed with an approximately five pound per square inch blow-off so that as soon as the pressure within the bolt 108 is five pounds per square inch greater than the pressure against the spring side of the stopper 118, the stopper 118 moves out of the seat 116 to allow air to pass out of the bolt 108. A particular advantage of this configuration is that the spring 112 is always in contact with air and never in contact with catalyzed resin. The closure mechanism 106 thereby protects itself from contamination and malfunction due to contact with catalyzed resin.
In the embodiment shown in
The static mixing tube 82 is placed over the ferrule mount 74 and the ferrule 78 is placed over the mixing tube 82, slid down the tube 82, and screwed onto the ferrule mount 74 to secure the static mixing tube 82 to the manifold 12 (
Placed within the static mixing tube 82 and running the entire length of the tube 82 is a spiral mixer 88 (
The side of the static mixing tube 82 is provided with an orifice 83 into which is placed a chamfered air supply tube tip 90 (
The air supply tube tip 90 is held in place by a connector assembly 94 (
To begin application of catalyzed resin, the fluid hose T-adapter 52 is connected to a line supplying a resin, such as polyester, and the catalyst line connector 32 is connected to a line supplying a catalyst such as methyl-ethyl-ketone peroxide (
When a particular spraying application has been completed, the switch handle shaft 70 is moved aft to terminate the flow of catalyst resin, and the air supply is thereafter shut down (
When it is desired to begin spraying, the ferrule 78 is slid over a new static mixing tube 82, and the spray tip body 84 and spray tip 86 are connected to the new static mixing tube 82 (
The unique design of the present invention provides a resin/catalyst mixture that mixes more thoroughly than any prior spray gun of which applicant is aware. The introduction and atomization of the catalyst in the air supply line before its introduction with the resin provides thorough and even mixing in the static mixing tube 82. Further, the catalyst need only be introduced to the system at approximately the same pressure as the air is introduced, which is significantly lower and safer than introducing the catalyst at the same pressure as the resin. The spray gun 10 allows resin in the range of one million centipoises (cps) to be applied to articles, whereas the maximum viscosity capable of being supplied by most prior art guns is only 20,000 cps. The ability to spray resins with an increased viscosity, which may or may not be heavily filled with fillers, allows layers of over one centimeter in thickness to be applied to a surface with each pass. This device also reduces the amount of solvent which must be added to the resin during manufacture. Reducing the amount of solvent added to the resin thereby reduces the amount of solvent which eventually evaporates into the air. The internal mixing nature of the present invention also reduces the amount of catalyst atomized directly into the atmosphere and allows the invention to be used in areas where the use of external mix apparatuses is prohibited or in areas where emissions are restricted by law.
Yet another advantage of the spray gun 10 is the elimination of any O-rings within the manifold 12. Typically spray guns have check valves located within the manifold to prevent catalyst from mixing with resin in places where the solvent flush cannot reach. These check valves generally use o-rings to obtain a tight seal against the manifold. After prolonged contact with catalyst, resin and solvent these O-rings often crack or break thereby allowing catalyzed resin by the O-rings. Once catalyzed resin has hardened around or behind the O-rings, the entire manifold must be stripped down and repaired. Furthermore, the manifold is often damaged during removal of damaged O-rings, thereby requiring replacement of the entire spray gun. As the typical spray gun may cost upwards of two thousand dollars, the elimination easily damaged parts, such as O-rings, as in the present invention is of great value to the industry.
The foregoing description and drawings merely explain and illustrate the invention, and the invention is not limited thereto, except insofar as the claims are so limited, as those skilled in the art who have the disclosure before them will be able to make modifications and variations therein without departing from the scope of the invention.

Tip of the Day: Grow when the economy is downJune 9th, 2008, 1:00 am by Jan Norman, small-business columnist
Maintaining healthy growth during an economic downturn may seem like an impossible feat, says Raymond Joabar, senior vice president and general manager for American Express OPEN, issuer of small-business credit cards and lines of credit. However learning how to identify, acquire and keep customers is all many small-business owners need to keep things moving.
As always, business success requires matching what your company does best with what your prospects want most.
Here are Joabar's simple tips to plan your own success:
1. Build on existing customers. According to American Express' Small Business Monitor survey, small-business owners state that an increased focus on better serving their customers is the number one step they will take to better manage their business. In slow times, look for ways to provide complementary value to existing customers. It's often easier and more profitable to sell something to an existing customer than to find a new one. As you provide increasing value, the likelihood of losing customers to competition becomes much lower.
2. Emphasize your value. When the economy tightens, some small-business owners' first instinct may be to cut prices drastically. Instead, determine your strengths as a company and communicate your value proposition to existing and potential customers. Ensure that your product or service is not the one that customers can live without.Read the rest of this entry »

Chargers postgame show
KEY STAT: 3 - Number of different ways LaDainian Tomlinson was involved in a touchdown.
Tomlinson fumbled on his 22-yard line with about five minutes remaining and the Chargers ahead by 13. But after the Raiders recovered, the call was overturned by a replay.
Chargers at Philadelphia
> 10 a.m., Sunday
"He hates the Raiders. I don't know why, but he said last night that it is something personal. He said they don't respect anybody."
—— SS Terrence Kiel, on coach Marty Schottenheimer's motivation to defeat the Raiders.
LaDainian Tomlinson
> Did everything but drive the team bus.
Randy Moss
> Gathered moss on sidelines after rib and groin injuries restricted him to zero catches.
> C Nick Hardwick
> CB Sammy Davis
> RG Mike Goff
> WR Eric Parker
The Chargers' victory over Oakland was even more impressive considering their numerous injuries. Regulars who were unavailable were RT Shane Olivea (knee), LG Toniu Fonoti (hand), CB Drayton Florence (ankle) and KR/PR Darren Sproles (ankle).
During the game, C Nick Hardwick (ankle), CB Sammy Davis (ankle), and WR Eric Parker (ankle) went out.
"I think Mauck would have had to be activated if anyone else went down," LT Roman Oben said, referring to his position coach, Carl Mauck.
In the secondary, former starter Jerry Wilson filled in and led the unit with five tackles.
"Even old man Jerry Wilson was out there," CB Quentin Jammer said.
Added Wilson: "I felt like a rookie in my first preseason game running around out there, just trying to get back into it."
After being virtually ignored the first three games, WR Reche Caldwell continued to find himself in the mix.
Filling in for Sproles, Caldwell returned three kicks for 99 yards, including his initial effort for 60 yards. It was his first return since his rookie year of 2002.
Caldwell also caught one pass for 32 yards and went 3 yards on a reverse.
Marty Schottenheimer is as popular here as displaying proper manners to opposing fans. And for good reason.
With the victory Sunday, Schottenheimer owns a 24-7 advantage over the Raiders.
"He said (Saturday night) he loves to play the Raiders," said QB Drew Brees, who confirmed —— as is Schottenheimer's tradition ——- that the coach's team speech included him tearing up.
For the second straight game, DE Igor Olshansky was productive. One outing removed from tying a career-high with seven tackles against the Pittsburgh Steelers, he had a career-high two sacks against the Raiders.
"I've been working on my pass rush game, and this was the only time I could finish the play," said Olshansky, who just missed sacks against the Cowboys and Patriots.
Olshansky went to San Francisco's St. Ignatius High and had his parents, wife and sister at the game.
