Laptop battery on 3 leading cuts
Before, notebook case has created a hubbub. Aug 2006, the spread of a fire-prone brand laptop computer battery problem, and could burn the entirely laptop computer. August 14, 2006, the brand recall order cost issued in the United States, announced the recall of 410 laptop battery may cause fire, saying defective battery supplier production.
Afterward, providers recognize the claim, and said: defective laptop battery production process, mainly due to small metal fragments mixed, these Fragmentation battery system with computing device Chongdian contact a short, causing Guore or explosion.
Subsequently, the big brand notebook makers have to have the defective laptop batteries recall order was issued, and made for the matter of compensation to consumers.
"Battery Door" event to enable consumers to re-recognize the notebook battery – if the laptop battery quality problems, is likely to burn the whole Toshiba PA3535U-1BAS; if we use the original notebook battery, the battery can lead to accident compensation.
For consumers, safety is always the most important, followed by unexpected product when the compensation package. If I use the original Toshiba PA3535U-1BAS battery, then either burn the battery alone, or the whole laptop batteries caused all the burning, I can get from the laptop manufacturer for compensation. However, if I use a third-party laptop battery, then when the accident occurred, it is difficult to find a relatively clear compensation package.
Therefore, third-party laptop battery, how to ensure the safety of products, how in the event of an accident to provide a reasonable compensation package is definitely the concern of consumers.
A comprehensive third-party laptop battery :
Die variety of notebook computers, Toshiba Satellite A505D series battery dies naturally varied. Single-off from our recent evaluation prototype of the notebook, you can pick out several different styles of laptop battery dies.
If you want to operate a third party Fujitsu laptop batteries and would like to strengthen and expand, certainly not dependent on a single species, at least to "cover all popular notebook computer" level. However, the development of Toshiba Satellite A505D series battery dies it requires a lot of money, which is "Why has long been a third-party laptop battery is not a" main reason.
Therefore, third-party laptop battery, how to ensure the comprehensiveness of the battery dies, is also a major issue of concern to consumers.
The need for third-party laptop battery:
The last problem is the need for third-party laptop battery. Bluntly, that is – not only the original laptop battery with high safety, but also in the time unexpected can also provide compensation, and there is no "mold type of failure" problem, then why do we need to purchase third-party laptop battery what?
Present, the original Fujitsu laptop batteries prices generally are high, except in very specific brand laptop batteries other than the price of 300 yuan, the price of most brand laptop batteries are 600 yuan, the price of some brands laptop battery even surpassed 1000 yuan .
We specifically as this in the company which conducted a survey of colleagues to answer the basic is: "original Toshiba PA3535U-1BAS battery price is too high, so to increase the endurance time to buy a battery is too luxurious, so if the price is cheaper, I'd would consider buying a few pieces to prepare for contingencies.
Can be seen, only third-party Toshiba Satellite A505D series battery price brassy plenty to energise the desire of consumers to buy, this is a third party decide the success or failure of the key issues laptop battery.
First of all, we must recognize the value of third-party Toshiba PA3535U-1BAS battery, notebook batteries original price because it is too high. Secondly, we hope third-party laptop battery to properly handle security, the need for comprehensive and three major problems. Finally, we would like to see the majority of users to third-party laptop battery view.

Stylish Blogger
Anyway, here's how the Stylish Blogger deal works:
• Thank and link back to the person who gave you the award (with apologies to Jess for doing this so belatedly)
• Share 7 things about yourself
• Award some recently discovered great bloggers
• Contact the bloggers and tell them about the award.
Okay, so seven things about myself. Here goes:
1. The hubs and I love to travel and did as much of it as possible before we had kids. Some of our most remote destinations include Tibet, the Galapagos Islands, and Machu Picchu. My favorite places that we've been are the Swiss Alps, Ireland, and Hawaii.
2. I got married in a real European palace—Schoenbrunn in Vienna, Austria. (Hopefully that doesn't make me sound like a high-maintenance bridezilla, because I swear I wasn't!) We started out planning the big, traditional church wedding at home, then decided that wasn't "us." Our next idea was to get married on a mountainside in the Swiss Alps, but we quickly discovered the impracticalities of that. Finally we found a great Vienna-based wedding planner who could set up the entire thing for us. Schoenbrunn was one of the locations she offered, so we thought, "Well ... why not?"
3. Prior to becoming a graphic designer, I was a reporter, writer, and editor. I've worked in nearly every area of media at one point or another. While on an internship, I got to go to White House news briefings and a Rose Garden ceremony. I also worked briefly as a PA/writer/researcher/indentured servant for a certain insane, loud-mouthed political pundit who shall remain nameless, since he probably has Google alerts for himself.
4. I don't like popcorn. Weird, right? Who doesn't like popcorn? I used to like it, but I lost my taste for it while I was pregnant with my oldest daughter, and it never came back.
5. My sister and I were pregnant with our first babies at the same time, and we were in labor at the same time. She went into labor very late on a Sunday night, and the next morning, Monday, it was my turn. My nephew was born that Monday evening, and my daughter was born around noon on Tuesday. And I'm guessing my mom fixed herself a good stiff drink that Tuesday night. : )
6. My husband ran a marathon a few years ago, and I decided to try to get to as many spots on the course as possible to cheer him on. That meant a fair amount of walking—so much so that I ended up being way more sore than he was the next day! He ran the marathon, but I was the one complaining. Hey, he trained for months, I ... didn't.
7. Some of my favorite things are coffee, chocolate, and wine. If I could figure out a way to make all three work together at the same time, I think I'd be in heaven.
So, there you have it, all you ever wanted to know about me and probably a lot that you didn't. And now here are my picks for some recently-discovered stylish bloggers:
Whittle Stitch - a newbie quilter, but you wouldn't know it from the gorgeous things she's turning out!
Susanne Loves - this girl is stylish, hilariously funny, and a fellow Wisconsinite.
Inspired by Felix - take a look at all her gorgeous pillows! And she's doing a really unique variation on my Supernova design in the quilt-along.
Blue Bird Sews - Kelly has put together some great tutorials on sashing and a "Concrete Cabin" quilt block that uses fat quarters.
And of course, don't forget to visit Jess and Lindsey, who have fabulous and inspiring blogs as well. Thank you again, ladies!

Lara Stone
Mierlo, The Netherlands
"Men don't like me. I haven't been on a date for six months. I've just started a club with a girlfriend called the We Hate Men But We Can't Be Gay Club."
-Lara Stone
Lara Stone has been modeling since 1999, but has only recently received the recognition she deserves. In addition to high-profile runway work for the likes of Calvin Klein, DKNY, Dolce & Gabbana and Viktor & Rolf, she has been the face of a number of fashion houses including Miss Sixty, Replay, MaxMara, and Sisley. She was also the first face for Givenchy's haute couture shows and has made the covers of various international editions of Elle and Vogue magazines. The supermodel was the first person to simultaneously be made the face of three Calvin Klein brands; Calvin Klein Collection, ck Calvin Klein and Calvin Klein Jeans.
Lara Stone BiographyLara Stone was born in a small village just outside of Berlin to a Dutch mother and English father, and raised in the town of Mierlo in the Netherlands. In 1999, at the age of 15, she entered the Elite Model Look contest, and despite not winning the competition, Lara was offered a contract with the prestigious agency. The following year, she was sent away to the fashion capitol of Paris by her mother after getting kicked out of high school. Far from becoming an overnight sensation, Lara Stone's luck finally turned around in 2006, when the IMG Agency signed her. Not long after that, she was given the opening slot at Givenchy's Fall/Winter 2006 haute couture show, and she hasn't looked back since.
Since then, Lara Stone has strutted her stuff down the runway for top designers like Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu, Valentino, Jean Paul Gaultier, Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, Marc Jacobs, and Zac Posen. She has also appeared in print campaigns for Calvin Klein Jeans, Absolutely Givenchy fragrance, Just Cavalli jewels, Levi's, and Sisley. Some of the magazine covers she has graced include both Elle and Jalouse out of France, Italy's Ventiquattro, as well as the French, Japanese and Italian editions of Vogue. Elle also featured her, along with Jessica Stam and Gemma Ward, in their Supermodel Generation 2006 spotlight. MODTV selected her as the best model of 2006, while FashionTV named her top model in their First Faces Fall 2007 Countdown.

Pope Francis arrives in Brazil on Monday in effort to keep Catholics from abandoning the Church.
RIO DE JANEIRO — People stop to pray at the St. Jude Thaddeus parish in this Brazilian city, asking the patron saint of lost causes for intervention. Father Valdir Lima is among those praying and hoping Pope Francis can turn the tide against the number of faithful who have been leaving the Church in the world's most populous Catholic country.
"This is an important visit," Lima said after celebrating Sunday Mass. "We need renewal."
Pope Francis — the first pontiff from Latin America — arrives in Brazil on Monday amid expectations he can keep Catholics from abandoning the Church in a region where many are converting to evangelical congregations.
Francis arrives in Brazil as protests display discontent over dashed expectations in a country that during the past decade pulled millions out of poverty and was one of the brightest emerging economies.
The pope will oversee World Youth Day celebrations, a biannual gathering of more than 300,000 pilgrims that kicks off Tuesday and continues until Sunday.
An Argentine taking his first foreign trip as pope since his March election, Pope Francis returns to Latin America, where he was among the church leaders calling for Catholics in the region to rediscover their religious identities and adopt a more missionary focus not only to curb the expansion of evangelical congregations but also to combat poverty and violence.
"There's this new missionary thrust (in Latin America) that was perhaps downplayed in recent years that's there today," says Tom Quigley, former policy adviser on Latin American issues to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
"It doesn't mean standing on street corners preaching, trying to convert people. It has a sense of … what the church could and should mean to people's lives and how that should affect the society around them."
Pope Francis' agenda will also highlight the plight of the poor and his preference for simplicity.
He plans to leave his bulletproof "popemobile" behind and ride through Rio's streets in an open-topped vehicle. Other scheduled activities include traveling to a favela — the shanties covering parts of the Rio cityscape — along with inaugurating a Catholic hospital treating drug addicts and meeting with young offenders.
The pontiff also plans an excursion to Aparecida, Brazil's most important Catholic site where he was the lead author of a document on how the church should adopt a more missionary focus during a 2007 meeting of Latin American bishops.
"In Aparecida, they spoke about how so many people are ignorant of their faith or leaving their faith," says Father Robert Coogan, an American priest working in Northern Mexico. "It's a continental phenomenon."
Even though Latin America is home to 39% of the world's Catholics, turning the tide toward Catholicism won't be easy in some countries. The number of Latin Americans identifying themselves as Catholic has fallen to 72% in 2010 from 90% a century earlier, according to the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life.
The causes for leaving the church include a preference for the charismatic style of worship in evangelical congregations (many of which are Pentecostal) and messages that some Catholics say are more relevant to people's lives. The Catholic Church can also be out-manned in places, says Xavier Plassat, a Dominican friar working in northern Brazil who has watched evangelical congregations with full-time pastors pop up in even the most remote hamlets.
"The poor Catholic priest only goes every two or three weeks" to these places, he says.
In Brazil, where about 65% of the population professes Catholicism, evangelicals have gained ground and appear animated about their faith.
"Next Sunday there will be more Pentecostals worshiping in their churches than Catholics attending Mass, and this is the largest Catholic country in the world," says Andrew Chesnut, religious studies professor at Virginia Commonwealth University and the author of a book on Brazil's evangelicals.
Organizers say 320,000 pilgrims have registered, although many unregistered participants often arrive at World Youth Day events. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops says 9,500 pilgrims from U.S. dioceses will participate, according to Catholic News Service.
Those numbers are down from the 2011 event in Madrid.
"It's hard to get to" Brazil, and it's expensive, says Father Chris Brey, who brought nine youths to World Youth Day from the Diocese of Springfield, Ill.
For pilgrims, Pope Francis remains the star attraction.
"He's so unpredictable, so unscripted," says Valeria Fernandez, 16, whose youth group in Copperas Cove, Texas, sold tacos outside Sunday Mass for a year to raise money for the trip.
"I can't believe this day has finally come," she said after landing in Rio.

He's been a hot name in the industry since his first album came out in 1994 and is still pumping out a steady stream of No. 1 hits. He's one of the best, and now, thanks to a story from the Zac Brown Band, we also know he's one of the nicest. Several years ago, ZBB was in a pinch and needed to get across the country for a gig.

Country crooner Kenny Chesney is trucking right along on his 2016 Spread The Love Tour.

The big day is almost here! Kenny Chesney will launch his latest spring and summer tour on Saturday, April 23 at Jordan Hare Stadium in Auburn, AL. That's just two short weeks away! As if that weren't reason enough to be excited, you should also be pumped for Chesney's coheadliner, Miranda Lambert. Lambert recently put on an incredible cover of ZZ Top's "Tush" at the Academy of Country Music Awards over the weekend, in front of ex-husband Blake Shelton no less. Chesney and Lambert are set to be one of the hottest joint tours this season, so don't miss them! Tickets to the opening show on April 23 are $45.
Hints are all Kenny Chesney fans will get about his upcoming single—that is, until Thursday!

Chesney describes the song as a sum of "both the state of the world and the reality of what it costs us and feels like." Kenny is currently on tour along with the beautiful and talented Miranda Lambert, and the pair will be in Auburn, Alabama, on Saturday, April 23. Tickets for that show should be purchased now or they may just sell out! Prices start at $52.
Now that Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is a two-time Super Bowl winner, we can't help but reminisce of when he hit another milestone. Way back in 2003, country singer Kenny Chesney had just dropped No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problem including the hit songs "Young" and "Big Star." He was performing at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, and couldn't think of a better onstage guest than Tennessee alum and recent Heisman Trophy winner Peyton Manning. During the song "Back Where I Come From," Manning appeared on stage to join him in the final few verses. It was already clear then that both men would go on to become crowd favorites.

ZF-7936: Zend_Test_PHPUnit_Db_Operation_Truncate should truncate tables in reversed order.
MySQL database contains InnoDB tables with foreign keys. In XML dataset tables are described in such order, that insertion would go along with existing DB constraints. Method "execute" in "Zend_Test_PHPUnit_Db_Operation_Truncate" class tries to truncate them in same order and fails because of DB constraints. Truncating tables in reverse order would solve the problems as dependent rows would be removed before rows they depend upon.
Changing row 61 in file "Zend/Test/PHPUnit/Db/Operation/Truncate.php" to
foreach ($dataSet->getReverseIterator() as $table)
solved the problem. This applies to Zend Framework release 1.9.3PL1.
Assigning to Ben Eberlei
I patched this in trunk already, however it seems the test for it fail on 1.9 release branch, because of some missing bug i forgot to merge into 1.9 from zend test dbadapter. I do the merge into 1.9 later and then close the bug
Merged into 1.9 release branch, tests now pass

Jewelers on the island of Java work in open-air studios creating the sterling silver beads that have been a local art form since the 16th century. This bracelet begins with a technique called repoussé where designs are hammered into a sheet of metal. The textured metal is then curled into a long cylindrical bead, and a mold is made. Sterling silver beads cast from this original mold are then slid onto a braided leather cord to make a handsome bracelet that flatters both men and women.

Mel Kiper Jr. says pickings are slim at tight end
Can you believe that 20 tight ends have been selected in each of the past two drafts, and 10 of those players have gone in the first three rounds.
Unfortunately for the Miami Dolphins it's a long shot that more than three tight ends are talented enough to crack the top three rounds - getting selected in the first two days of the 2011 NFL draft - because the class of tight ends isn't very deep.
Truth is it doesn't feature many, if any, elite prospects.
"It's not a good year," ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper Jr. said of the tight end position, which happens to be one unit the Miami Dolphins hoped to upgrade this offseason.
Kiper said Notre Dame's Kyle Rudolph, who is projected as a late first or second-round pick, is the prize of the 2011 class. But a hamstring injury he fought through all of his junior season has hurt his stock.
"We'll see how he comes back from that, but at worst he's a second-round pick," Kiper said of Rudolph, who supposedly has outstanding hands and excellent ball skills.
Rudolph caught 28 passes for 328 yards and three touchdowns his senior season. That's about on pace with his contribution level at Notre Dame, which is one of the few teams that still puts the tight ends in heavy rotation.
The Dolphins already have a tight end product from that school in Anthony Fasano. However, the Dolphins are in the market for a seam threat tight end to complement Fasano this time around.
Kiper said Wisconsin tight end Lance Kendricks, who is supposedly athletic and agile, might be the second best tight end. But Kendricks hurt himself with a lackluster performance at the Senior Bowl and NFL combine. Kiper projects Kendricks as a third or fourth-round option.
The same goes for Tennessee's Luke Stocker, who has an impressive frame, but is VERY stiff, and possesses average speed and athletic ability.
Kiper said Arkansas D.J. Williams is "the best H-back in this draft," and he envisions the two-time Mackay Award winner going in the second or third round.
The Dolphins could use a player like Williams, who could flex out of the backfield, and serve as a backup fullback to Lousaka Polite. The problem is this regime generally like their tight ends to have some size to them, and Williams is barely 6-foot-2, 240 pounds.
However, Williams is intelligent and has produced 1,855 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns during his four year career at Arkansas, where he played in a pro style offense. I'm told by an NFC tight end coach that Williams has the biggest potential to become a star in the NFL "if you can get past his size."
"Dustin Keller isn't big either, but to be fair he's not the athlete that Dustin Keller is. But he'd be good in a west coast offense," the coach said.
The one tight end Kiper kept mentioning during Wednesday's two-hour teleconference was Nevada's Virgil Green, who had one of the better combine performances, and has a little buzz circulating about him.
Green caught 35 passes for 515 yards and five touchdowns in his senior season, where he served as Colin Kaepernick's top checkdown option. He's a three-year starter who supposedly runs good routes.
Green had an impressive showing at the East-West Shrine practices, but some believe it will take him some time to learn an NFL team's offense considering Nevada runs a pistol.
""He can stretch the deep middle, and played a significant role in the running game," Kiper said of Green, who he envisions being selected in the third or fourth round.
Kiper said he could see an NFL team reaching for Florida Atlantic's Rob Housler because he's athletic, and fast. Housler was the fastest tight end at the NFL combine, but most of that speed is supposedly straight line.
As a senior at FAU Housler caught 39 passes for 629 yards and four touchdowns. However, he supposedly drops easy passes and there's concern about his ability to make plays after the catch.
Housler operated in a scheme designed to feature the tight end, and isn't much of a blocker. In fact, I'm told he gets knocked off the ball often. That means he won't be an every down option, at least not immediately. And if the frontline tight end suffered a serious injury it might handcuff the offense.
Weslye Saunders, who missed his senior season at South Carolina because of an NCAA suspension, has dropped into the day three area, and might be a late round steal. Saunders supposedly has rare size and receiving ability, but he's not sudden off the snap, and struggles to create separation…..
According to Kiper, the best in-line blocker is Virginia Tech's Andre Smith, who has plenty of upside to develop, but likely won't become a pass catching threat.
So, if you were the Dolphins, who missed out on signing Jeremy Shockey, how would you address the team's need for a seam threat tight end?

Ah! Another Watering KissMint flavor. Yes, when I was in Famima that original time, I couldn't help but get another flavor besides the Lychee and Lemon. They had a berry flavor, a mint flavor, but when I saw this muscat grape flavor I knew I wanted to go for this one. It was original, plain and smile, and a flavor not found commonly amongst American styled chewing gum.
The grape shared the same beautifully styled packaging as the Lychee and Lemon except the color scheme is different. Here it's purple instead of yellow, which is very fitting for the flavor.
The gum smells sharp and perfumey like a muscat grape. The aroma is easily noticeable once you open the package to grab a piece.
The flavor is very sharp and pronounced at first. You get that wonderful juicy, apple/peach flavor of muscat grapes with that strong tart edge to it. It's really lovely. The flavor comes across as very juicy and authentic as opposed to American grape flavors which are more bland and sugary-sweet. The flavor on this one lasted much longer than the Lychee Lemon flavor, so I was able to chew it for a very long time.
This flavor is awesome to me, it's unique and has flavor stamina when chewed. I'm going to have to go back and get more, for sure.

Swimming And Diving Takes Three Of Four Meets In Triangular
Nov. 22, 2003
Chicago, Ill.- The UIC men's and women's swimming and diving teams went back to work on Saturday, notching three victories out of four meets in a triangular event with Western Illinois and Saint Louis on Saturday at the UIC Natatorium.
Using a double dual meet scoring format, the Flames' men (6-1) went undefeated on the day, going 2-0 by beating the Billikens, 144-96, and pounding the Leathernecks, 173-67. The UIC women (5-3) downed Western Illinois by a tally of 156-86 while getting edged out by Saint Louis, 127-115, to go 1-1 and just miss a perfect day for both Flames squads.
Junior Caitlin Carey and sophomore Aisha Williams keyed the women's strong day with outstanding performances. Using the methodical technique that has made her a two-time NCAA Zone C qualifier, Carey led the charge by sweeping the one-meter and three-meter boards. Williams was equally impressive on the swimming side, sprinting to a victory in the 100-yard freestyle (54.03) and taking second in the 50-yard freestyle behind fellow UIC swimmer Kelly Hyatt.
Freshman Jessica Darud chipped in with a first-place finish in the 200-yard backstroke at a time of 2:09.40. UIC also received top-three times throughout the day from Laura Martensen, Christine Hare, and Vanessa Segovia.
Leading the way for the men were their spectacular core of young talent. Freshman Mike Horwitz won the one-meter and three-meter diving events for UIC, with teammate Mark Pappalardo finishing second both times. Sophomore LeRoy Stevens was instrumental in the two team wins with his victories in the 100-yard freestyle (46.96) and the 200-yard freestyle (1:45.70).
The men were near the top of every race. Freshman Blake Booher scored a win in the 50-yard freestyle by just edging out teammate Bill Hare, while Brian Kroes, Ari Bernstein, Enric Claret and Adan Jimenez combined to account for seven second-place finishes.
The Flames opened the meet with men's and women's victories in the 200-yard medley relays. UIC finished Saturday with three relay wins in four chances, just missing out on a fourth in the last men's event, the 200-yard freestyle relay.
Both UIC swimming and diving teams will return to competitive action on Friday, January 16th, 2004, when the women host Illinois State at the UIC Natatorium at 7:00 p.m., while the men travel to Northwestern to take on the Wildcats and Eastern Michigan at 2:00 p.m.

A Much-Needed Victory
If you read my blog post last night, it was pretty obvious that I was angry at the way the Twins (despite picking up the victory) let the game end on Tuesday night. Thus, I was very glad to see Liriano pitch a good game tonight, as well as the bats coming alive in the late innings (when was the last time THAT happened on the road?!) to get the ball to Joe Nathan in an opposing stadium.
I always just want to add tonight that, no matter what happens the rest of this season, I will be pulling for the Twins all the way. That sounds like an incredibly obvious thing to say, but it seems as if a lot of negativity has been floating around the Twins this season. Whether it is hating on the bullpen, the Baker/Liriano early-season disaster, or a few batsmen (Delmon Young, Brian Buscher, etc.), there hasn't been a whole of positivity so far into the '09 season. Though all those areas are ripe for criticism, I think that sometimes we all need (including myself) to remember that this really is just a game. It's like little league…you play your heart out on the field, but once the final out is recorded you don't take it with you whether win or loss.
A few years ago, while writing for the University of Minnesota-Morris campus newspaper, The University Register, I wrote an article entitled "Why We Watch Baseball". I would like to copy that into this blog post, as I think it really rings true this season:
Why We Watch Baseball
-With those who don't give a (hoot) about sports, I can only sympathize. I do not resent them. I am even willing to concede that many of them are physically clean, good to their mothers and in favor of world peace. But while the game is on, I can't think of anything to say to them. (Art Hill)
If a woman has to choose between catching a fly ball and saving an infant's life, she will choose to save the infant's life without even considering if there are men on base. (Dave Barry)…A couple of months ago, a friend of my sister happened to be over at my family's home for dinner. This being summer time, my nightly ritual of watching the Twins game was about to commence. After the meal, she plopped down on the coach next to me and asked: Why do you like watching baseball? Not being mentally prepared for that kind of question, I gave the typical male answer: "Grunt…Because it's better than shopping…grunt". However, that was not good enough for her inquisitive mind, as she launched into a lecture of how professional sports mean absolutely nothing. As she mentioned something about starving people in Africa, I realized that I had nothing (at that time) to refute her claims. The games themselves do mean nothing in the grand context of history and there are more important endeavors in life than stealing second base. So, why do we watch baseball? The following argument could be applied to all professional sports, but I am going to keep it confined to a baseball context.
I see great things in baseball. It's our game – the American game. It will take our people out-of-doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism. Tends to relieve us from being a nervous, dyspeptic set. (Walt Whitman)…A young boy idolizes his dad and wants to do everything with him. The dad, a big baseball fan, teaches his son about the game. They play whiffle ball in the back yard, watch Twins games together, and talk to each other about the game. Political events have no bearing on the young boy's life at this time, but baseball does. Through the sport of baseball they are able to form a common bond that will last the rest of their lives, through good times and bad.
Say this much for big league baseball – it is beyond question the greatest conversation piece ever invented in America. (Bruce Catton)…The same boy has a grandfather who is 84 years old. The grandpa lived through the Great Depression, spent his childhood working on a farm, and served his country during World War II. The boy grew up playing video games, reading science fiction novels, and the closest he ever came to a battlefield was Risk or Fort Apache. The binding factor between the two–baseball. While each came from completely different backgrounds and ideologies, making communication with each other difficult, the love of sports provided a bond. They may not be able to bridge the generation gap, but it is easy to debate the merits of Johan Santana versus Dizzy Dean (the grandfather's favorite pitcher as a child) or how Rogers Hornsby (star player of the 1920's and 30's) would have fared against today's pitchers.
Baseball, it is said, is only a game. True. And the Grand Canyon is only a hole in Arizona. (George F. Will)…Now that same boy has left home for college. He finds the transition difficult, but smoothened by one thing–baseball. Getting through the day might be a struggle, but at night he can watch the Twins on TV or listen to John Gordon bring the game alive on the radio. The games relax him and give him something other than school to think about. After a while his spirits raise and he is able to do much better in his classes.
People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring. (Rogers Hornsby)…At the beginning of his second semester of college, the boy is feeling lonely again. Spring will be coming soon and he feels trapped, away from his family or anyone to talk to. He begins writing for the school newspaper–sports, of course. This gives him something creative to do and a way to meet new people. He becomes motivated to make himself more physically fit, letting the Twins take his mind off the treadmill he pounds every night.
Most people are in a factory from nine till five. Their job may be to turn out 263 little circles. At the end of the week they're three short and somebody has a go at them. On Saturday afternoons they deserve something to go and shout about. (Rodney Marsh)…When the boy goes home on weekends, the last thing he wants to do is talk about the hard week of studying that has transpired. He is tired from the week and wants to relax with his family. What a better opportunity than a baseball game? Whether it means making the trip to the Metrodome or watching on TV, baseball allows the boy to unwind before another tough week. It transports him (for a few hours at least) into a world where the concerns of real-life seem to melt away.
Don't tell me about the world. Not today. It's springtime and they're knocking a baseball around fields where the grass is damp and green in the morning and the kids are trying to hit the curve ball. (Pete Hamill)… The boy has now passed his love of baseball on to his two younger brothers. They play in Little League over the summer, as well as endless games of the MVP Baseball 2005 video game. Once school starts again, emails are sent back and forth about favorite baseball teams and players.
I don't love baseball. I don't love most of today's players. I don't love the owners. I do love, however, the baseball that is in the heads of baseball fans. I love the dreams of glory of 10-year-olds, the reminiscences of 70-year-olds. The greatest baseball arena is in our heads, what we bring to the games, to the telecasts, to reading newspaper reports. (Stan Isaacs)…So as you can see, the sport of baseball does have the power to enrich a life. Or, more specifically, my life; as I am the boy. While on occasion it has made stay up a little too late (darn extra-innings!) or ignore the outside world because "the game is on", baseball's positive influence in my life has outweighed the negatives.
You gotta be a man to play baseball for a living, but you gotta have a lot of little boy in you, too. (Roy Campanella)…To further appreciate the impact that baseball can have on one's life, please see the movie Field of Dreams. My favorite sports movie of all-time, it focuses on the relationship between father and son and how that relationship can be enhanced through a mutual love of baseball. At one point in the movie, James Earl Jones (aka Voice of the Baseball Gods) explains how baseball is able to leave its mark on a person. I leave you with his quote…
The one constant through all the years has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This game: it's a part of our past. It reminds of us of all that once was good and could be again. (Field of Dreams)
Preview (30-31, 2nd, 4.0 GB DET): Nick Blackburn (5-2, 3.30) vs. Trevor Cahill (3-5, 4.21). Another no-name Oakland pitcher…the days of Zito, Mulder, and Hudson seem so long ago!

Yea I think you are right. Those yugos are over-built.
If my barrel turning experiment works I will keep notes. I am going to try to use a turned down 1919a4 barrel.
I looked into the FN barrels but I dont know where the gas port is on them.
The barrel I am willing to send out to get turned right. I could do it, but not very well I think.
Does the yugo tunnion have more meat than the saiga?
Well good luck keep us posted on the fal barrel.
