MAYBE it isn't too early to judge Paul le Guen at Rangers. In any other environment, assessment probably would be reserved after only 10 league games and three months. But not in the Old Firm arena - something that the Frenchman fails to grasp. His unwillingness to bend to the peculiar demands of his Ibrox position could be in the process of breaking him.
Yesterday's defeat at home to Inverness Caledonian Thistle, and the circumstances surrounding it, could prove defining for the supposed brave new dawn that Le Guen was alleged to be ushering in. The inability of his Rangers team to win football matches makes this season indistinguishable from the previous campaign under Alex McLeish that was supposed to be a one-off, never to be repeated. Except McLeish's team had more points on the board by this juncture of the season.
There is no precedent in recent times for an Old Firm manager coming good on the back of winning only four of their first ten league encounters. Le Guen's record across his first ten league games is the worst opening to a season by a new manager at an Old Firm club since John Greig's team won only two, drew six and lost two of their opening ten games in 1978-79. Moreover, no Old Firm team has ever overturned a ten-point deficit, the gap that now separates the ancient adversaries.
Le Guen had one player in indisputably good form this last month and that was Allan McGregor. Yesterday the Rangers manager dropped the Scot in favour of Lionel Letizi, only for the French keeper to spill the shot that allowed Graham Bayne to pounce and score the decider. Le Guen's 1.8m signing from Austria Vienna, Filip Sebo, never looked capable of demonstrating the same alertness at the other end.
Le Guen's rag-bag mix of poor recruits from this summer and equally indifferent signings from the previous close season made for a grimly impotent team. Predictably, members of the Ibrox crowd turned on the French goalkeeper, but boos when he first touched the ball gave way to applause as the faithful divided. Solitary shouts of abuse at Le Guen were also audible. "Our start is not very good so we must get results," the Rangers manager offered in wonderfully understated fashion yesterday.
Le Guen would then have no truck with the suggestion that he could have placed too much pressure on Letizi through defying supporters and media in favouring him over McGregor. "No, no no." He offered the same response when asked whether he regretted selecting Letizi.
He was then asked if he hoped the fans would be respectful of Letizi in future games. "As for me, I am respectful for the fans. Some of them come many kilometres. I am respectful for them. I repeat I do my job, I try my best but this situation is a little bit strange."
The Rangers manager conceded that his side "lacked inspiration". It is frightening to compare the paucity of matchwinners at Rangers compared with the Celtic ranks and a Hearts side who will move seven points clear of the Ibrox men if they triumph in today's Edinburgh derby. Le Guen bemoaned the fact that his men "passed and passed and passed the ball" yesterday. They are only taking their lead from a training ground style that appears increasingly at odds with the approach required to win matches in Scotland.
Rangers youth player Steven Lennon said last week that the biggest change to training under Le Guen is that tackling has been outlawed as the Frenchman sees this as an impediment to the club's youngsters refining their technique. Without tackling, Tony Mowbray said recently, Scottish football would be nothing. If Le Guen is still to wise up to this fact four months on, then there must be genuine concern as to whether he will ever come to grip with the game in this country. Time is ebbing fast for him on that score.

Northwest Open Invitational to Start Next Week
The historic Northwest Open is set to start August 20 at Wine Valley Golf Club in Walla Walla, Wash. The annual three-day event is a stroke-play format. Corey Prugh, a PGA professional at Manito Golf & Country Club in Spokane, will return to defend his title.
The early years of the Northwest Open were dominated by Seattle Golf Club's Robert Johnstone (who won eight of the first 10 events) and "Long Jim" Barnes, the professional at Tacoma Country & Golf Club from 1911-1915. Barnes also won the first two PGA Championships (1916, 1919) in addition to the 1921 U. S. Open and 1925 British Open. Spokane's Marvin "Bud" Ward captured six Northwest Open titles over a 22-year span, five as an amateur and his last as a professional. Ward was also a U.S. Amateur champion and may have won a few more but for the lack of championships during World War II. Fifteen members of the Pacific Northwest Section's Hall of Fame are Northwest Open champions.
Prugh won the 2011 Northwest Open after firing a final-round score of 2-under 70, finishing with a 54-hole total of 10-under 206. He won by five strokes over PGA professional Brian Thornton of Meridian Valley Country Club in Kent, Wash., and amateur Dan Whitaker of Ellensburg (Wash.) Golf & Country Club.
Prugh will try to regain his title against a field that includes 2010 champion Thornton, Mike Schoner of Lakeview G&CC (2009), Rob Clark of Wenatchee G&CC (2008), Coston of Semiahmoo G&CC (2007, '01), amateur Erik Hanson of Sahalee CC (2004), and Brent Murray of Oswego Lake CC (1999).
The Northwest Open Invitational will begin on Monday, August 20, with tee times from 7:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. off the firsts and 10th tees. Tee times and results can be found at www.pnwpga.com.
Wine Valley Golf Club, opened in April of 2009, was rated fifth on Golfweek's "Best New Courses" list. The Dan Hixson design crosses rolling hills in the shadows of the Blue Mountains and features broad fairways, dramatic bunkers and large, undulating putting surfaces.

I have heard that Wolf primers are slightly larger than other primers and was wondering if anyone had problems with the large or small feeding in thier 550. Thanks!-

I've used SR in my 550 and LP in the 650 for about three years now; no problems. The size difference is noticeable when seating, but hasn't been an issue for me.
No problems using the K&M hand tool or the old RCBS bench mounted primer, either.
August 11, 2010, 07:12 PM
yup just load some .45 auto with large wolf primers. on my 550b
August 11, 2010, 10:50 PM
Just finished a batch of .223 using once fired LC cases. Swaged the primer pockets & used Wolf's srp successfully. Primers DID seat a little tightly but not enough to deform them or leave the finished product out of spec in any manner.
Stuff works well in both my 16 and an M'2 carbine.
August 11, 2010, 11:32 PM
Great, thank you Guys! Now its time to stock up on 'em while they're cheap!
August 12, 2010, 08:11 AM
I did have a seating issue with LPs. We had been using Federals and out of habit I seated the Wolfs the same way. They were not fully seated so I ran them through a hand primer. You just need to be sure to add a little extra effort.
August 12, 2010, 02:39 PM
Since Dillon sells Wolf primers...

Colts GM Says Team Is Okay As Irsay Recovers
Indianapolis Colts general manager Ryan Grigson passed along his well wishes for Jim Irsay and then said they'll be fine dealing with the draft and free agency while the owner is in a rehabilitation facility.
"Obviously nothing but great things to say about Jim, he's been magnificent and has done so much for myself, [coach] Chuck [Pagano], the entire building, everyone in the building loves the man," Grison said in his first comments since Irsay was arrested March 16. "We all would run through a brick wall for him. We all wish him a full, complete recovery and we're all pulling for him, and I'll leave it at that."

Jessica Seinfeld Wants to Help You Cook Dinnerpaulabernstein
Jessica Seinfeld, wife of Jerry Seinfeld, made a name for herself in her own right as the author of "Deceptively Delicious."
Now she's got a new book, "Double Delicious! Good, Simple Food for Busy, Complicated Lives" and she appeared on "The Oprah Show" today to promote it.
The focus of the first book seemed to be all about hiding vegetables and other healthy things in sweet treats so kids would eat them. I happen to think that's a really bad idea. Even my 8-year-old daughter Jesse said so the other day when the subject came up.
"If you hide broccoli in brownies, kids will never know if they like broccoli," Jesse said. "You're just tricking them into eating it." I couldn't have said it better myself (of course, Jesse doesn't eat broccoli anyway).
In her new book, Jessica Seinfeld is trying to teach parents that making a healthy home cooked meal doesn't have to be time-consuming or challenging. For instance, crock pots can be a real time saver for busy working parents.
"People are working double what they used to do in this country, and lives have gotten more complicated," Jessica told Oprah. "Food is something that's suffered in this country."
To test out her theory, "The Oprah Show" challenged Jessica Seinfeld to help out some of the worst cooks in America. She taught them how to cook easy and nutritious meals for their family. But there's no guarantee they'll use what they learned once they return home.
Seinfeld also provided advice for making the right choices when grocery shopping (for instance, don't go food shopping when you're hungry!).

Ask Nelson a Question
How to Create Moments in Your Christmas Music
Jason Hatley here – Pastor of Worship Arts at The Journey and Founder of Worship Leader Insights.
You've heard me say it before — our goal in worship on Sunday isn't to sing songs, but to create life-transforming moments (thanks to Tom Jackson for introducing me to this principle).
This is especially true as we're preparing music for the Christmas season. But oftentimes, the temptation is to give Christmas music the "same old treatment" that it received last year.
Doing the same arrangements of the same songs on the same Sundays we did them last year.
But the story of Christmas is powerful and life-transforming. And the music of Christmas can be as well, if we'll answer these 3 questions as we plan:
Every song in your worship set has a purpose.
Some are "openers" that are designed to be fun or engage the audience from the very beginning (these are typically songs that people in the congregation know from "outside" of church).
At Christmas this may be something like starting with "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" or "Run Run Rudolph" (both songs that we've opened with in the past — and really have no theological content whatsoever). But they're fun. They're engaging. And best of all, they're familiar.
These are songs that the congregation is hearing when they shop at the mall. And the next time they are at the mall and hear that song, I want them to think, "The last time I heard this song was when I was at church."
That's the purpose of those types of songs for us… to help people make a connection in their everyday life back to their experience at church and be reminded of what they experienced that day. Call it "reclaiming" if you will.
But these aren't the only songs we do, and we don't do them every Sunday.
Oftentimes we open with a pure "call to worship". These songs are designed to get the congregation up on their feet and singing with a lot of energy. While the song may be new to a few people, these are ALWAYS songs that we've sung before (I at least want our regulars to know it).
We do a new song nearly every Sunday, but we NEVER start with a new song. I don't want to alienate the entire congregation with the first phrase that comes out of my mouth.
So we sing a familiar song here… one that most of the congregation knows (and loves to sing). And when they do, it immediately engages them in worship, and in turn that helps our First Time Guests relax and feel comfortable engaging, too.
So, as I've been finalizing our worship services for this Christmas I've been looking for songs that have the right feel for "calling" everyone together in our context — high energy, guitar-driven Christmas songs.
Other songs serve as a "transition" song that take you from high energy to a more focused and quiet moment. Still others are worship songs that can be re-cast as Christmas songs.
For example, on our first Sunday after Thanksgiving we're doing two Christmas songs, but we're also doing 2 songs that aren't "officially" Christmas songs, but because they're lyrics tie in, they take on a new life as Christmas songs in that moment.
You get the picture.
Remember – Great worship sets are built by prayerfully putting the right songs in the right place for the story that you want to tell on Sunday.
Next week we'll pick up with question #2. In the meantime, take some time to ask yourself:
1) Do each of the songs that I choose for a Sunday service have a purpose?
2) Are we just "singing songs" on Sunday, or am I actively looking for the moments in each worship set?
3) What are my values for music planning?
Understanding the purpose of the song can help you decide the best way to use it… and how to create a moment during it.
Your partner in ministry,
P.S. Are you ready to start creating moments EVERY Sunday?
My resource, Leading with Authority in Rehearsal, will teach you how to locate the moments of life transformation in your worship order and make the most of the opportunities you have to lead your congregation in worship every week.

Elephant mourns loss of canine companion
HOHENWALD, Tenn. – For the past eight years, Tarra the elephant and Bella the dog were inseparable at the Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, about 80 miles southwest of Nashville.
Robert Atkinson is the CEO of the Elephant Sanctuary, the nation's larges natural-habitat refuge developed specifically to meet the needs of the endangered animals.
He told Nashville's News 2 the duo was always together.
"I suspect that small vulnerable little animal brought out a maternal instinct in her, and hence there was a match made in heaven," he said.
The canine came to live at the 2,700-acre sanctuary in 2003 and quickly formed a bond with the elephant, which remained until Bella's recent death.
Atkinson said he believes Bella was attacked and killed by coyotes and Tarra found the dog's body before the caretakers and carried her with her trunk to the barn where the two spent most of their time.
"The idea that she couldn't leave that body and brought it back home is just heartbreaking, but so inspiring," he said.
To help with the grieving process, Tarra has reached out to other elephants which have been providing comfort and support.
"Elephants need each other. That's what's happening now. That in her time of grief, she's turning to her sisters for support, and that's what elephants are good at, being a herd and being there for each other," Atkinson explained.
Caretakers told Nashville's News 2 since Bella's death, Tarra has been quieter than usual as she mourns the loss of her friend.
"We know that she's gone back and has been seen near Bella's grave, which is remarkable," Atkinson said.
The Elephant Sanctuary has set up a tribute page on its web site to memorialize Bella with links to Tarra and Bella's amazing story and recent photos of the two.
A memorial fund will also be established in Bella's honor.

MARTINSBURG - As the weather begins to warm, the Martinsburg-Berkeley County Convention & Visitors Bureau prepares for the influx of travelers and community members ready for outdoor activity after the winter months.
"One of the most common things we hear is there's nothing to do around here, but if you go to our online calendar, you'll see that pretty much every weekend there is something to do, especially now that it's getting warmer," said Jennifer Jensen, CVB communications director.
The CVB is a nonprofit community resource for residents living in the area and for tourists passing through, offering information on town history, town- and state-themed souvenirs and preparing events, such as historical walking and driving tours of Martinsburg and Berkeley County.

Martinsburg-Berkeley County Convention & Visitors Bureau Manager Ruth Vanier stocks the brochure wall that highlights activities and local attractions for residents or community members.
"Our website is a really good resource. We have a restaurant list, a hotel list we have different categories like architecture and history, entertainment, family fun, recreation so people can put together a really fun weekend or vacation or just a day," Jensen said.
The Martinsburg-Berkeley County Convention & Visitors Bureau also offers additional services to any business, nonprofit organization or group hosting a community event.
"Any event that is open to the public, if we are sent the information, we will put it on our website, in our e-newsletter and on our Facebook page. For CVB members we can even help write and distribute the press releases, which I think for nonprofit organizations is a benefit. We don't charge to be listed as members, we just ask them to fill out a form," Jensen said.

Martinsburg-Berkeley County CVB
115 North Queen Street, Martinsburg, WV 25401
9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mon.-Fri.; 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sat.-Sun.
In 2011, the Visitors Bureau recorded 3,381 people visiting the Queen Street location, received around 1,200 calls and sent out over 9,650 information packets. While visitors from the surrounding states and across the nation have visited the CVB, tourists from South America, Canada and Central America have also been recorded.
"Most people associate us with Pickin' in the Panhandle because from beginning to end, that's our project. It's the West Virginia state BBQ and Bluegrass Festival, but to the logo we've added 'and more' because there is so much more that goes on," Jensen said.
The festival will feature 31 bands playing everything from Americana to country, folk and county-rock. Additional activities include food vendors, a BBQ Tastin' Tent, an arts and craft barn and the Kids Korner, sponsored by the Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Eastern Panhandle featuring face painting, a moon bounce and a rock climbing wall.

Some nights everything just goes your way.
Kelsey White had one of those night's Wednesday.
The Jackson Community College sophomore basketball player could seemingly do no wrong against Ancilla College. The Northwest graduate sank a National Junior College Athletic Association record 13 3-pointers on her way to scoring 50 points in a 125-77 victory.
For the game, White hit 13 of 26 3-points attempts while only playing only 20 minutes in the Lady Jets' system of frequent player substitution.
"In warm-ups I was pretty cold," White said. "So it was pretty surprising when I came out and I think I was 4-for-4 in two minutes."
White broke the JCC school record of eight when she connected on her ninth bomb by halftime.
"Before I knew it, I had eight, which was our school record, and then No. 9 came and it was just crazy," White said. "I didn't realize it until one of my teammates said to me at halftime, 'You have 31 points.'"
And as the Lady Jets prepared for the second half, White's teammates were determined to help her get the national record.
"They decided, they kind of made up their mind at halftime, 'We're going to get her this record,'" said JCC coach Andy Hoaglin. "It was kind of cool."
"Whenever I was open or whenever they could set me screens to get me open, they did," White said. "They did an awesome job."
For his part, Hoaglin, his coaching staff and players knew White had a shot at breaking the record and gave his team the green light to go for it.
"We know about the records and we celebrate them," he said. "I'm not going to give you coach-speak and say, 'We didn't know how many she had.' We knew exactly how many she had."
With still five minutes to play in the game, White rolled off a screen set for her by a teammate, found herself open, shot and saw No. 13, and the record, fall through the basket.
"Number 13 went and my teammates were cheering like crazy and our boys team was out there too," White said. "We set goals at the beginning of the season, personal and team goals, and one of mine was to break the NJCAA record for threes and I did. I never thought then that I would."

The publicist for Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams calls the tabloid speculation about Ledger's reputed drug use "heinous," even as a videotape surfaced of the actor talking about his drug habits at a post-awards show party in Hollywood in 2006.
"The Insider" aired a preview of the video Wednesday night, but its sister show, "Entertainment Tonight," posted a statement Thursdaysaying it won't run the video, in which Ledger admits to extensive marijuana use. On the video, people can be seen snorting a substance off a table behind him, and Ledger tells another partygoer that Williams was going to be upset that he was at the party.
"Out of respect for Heath Ledger's family, 'Entertainment Tonight' and 'The Insider' have decided not to run the Heath Ledger video that has been circulating in the world media," says the statement on the shows' Web sites. Ledger died Jan. 22 at his Manhattan apartment, and police are awaiting toxicology tests to determine the cause of death.

hiya. just read your whole thing here. it's seriously long. i kid.
might i recommend -- for PCOS help -- the bikram sequence? it seems to help with PCOS and also endometriosis. something about cleansing and helping with hormones. anyway, lots of n=1 in my experience of it.
that being said, where are those rod(s) in your back? and if you do go to learn the bikram sequence, i recommend you ask if the person who teaches has done any other kind of yoga or other kind of teacher training. because bikram's actual teacher training teaches you jack except for the sequence and bollywood movies and that bikram is a bit of a egomaniac. but, if the person has studied OTHER styles of yoga, particularly if they know how to handle folks with rods in their backs, then you should be set.
you know, if you wanted.

Nintendog doesn't last THAT long anyway, so you'd be better off brawling it out (though in the next game I would suggest being able to stop Nintendog by hitting it before it disappears and covers the screen). I suppose for friendly matches though and a party of people who mutually dislike Resetti for the 78 hit thing, someone with a comboing character could dispose of him real quick during a cease fire and start again when he's out.
Speaking of not liking Nintendog and Resetti, though, ANOTHER idea I thought of was Random Assist Trophy Switch, and Random Character Switch.
Random Assist is self-explanatory, only certain Assists would show up based on what's selected on the random list.
Random Character Switch could work, based on player names (similar to how you can change personal controls) by changing the list of characters you can get at random based on your player name (for those who like to use random, but have some characters they just really don't like getting; or would just like to use random for randomly choosing between their favorites.)
How about more pokemon in the pokeballs how about tyranitar
"NY State of Mind"
Shoot, they said 2014 or 2015? I was hoping for a little sooner....oh well.
But now that we've heard that they've started development, I'm gonna guess on its new name, and my guess is: Super Smash Bros. Showdown. It's the best sounding name I could think of.
I guess they could do... Super Smash Bros. Smackdown...

(LifeScript Health News) Estrogen offers many benefits to women, but creating a tighter, unwrinkled face is not one of them. Topical medications containing estrogen can't stop facial aging, according to a small study published in Journal Watch Dermatology.
Researchers used an estrogen cream treatment on 40 post-menopausal women, 65 to 94 years old. After treatment, the women's faces – and any other area exposed to sunlight – showed no improvement in collagen production. Experts believe that higher levels of collagen can combat the signs of natural aging, including fine wrinkles, skin laxity and sagging.
But collagen levels increased as much as 300% in hip skin unexposed to the sun. So topical collagen medication may help women look more youthful… on parts hidden from view, that is.

When walking down to the Bryn Mawr gym you might notice something new in the scenic vista of landscaping along Cambrian Row. On Monday November 12, the college installed its first set of solar panels.
The panels were chosen and bought by the facilities office with the help of calculations done by senior math major Alisha Pradhan this summer. The large 12 panel set has a maximum power of 2820 watts and a smaller 2 panel set has the potential power of 570 watts. Both will be used to power lighting in the buildings of cambrian row. With an expected lifetime of 30 years and payback time on the initial investment estimated at 20 years improvements to solar technology have allowed the panels to be a sound investment. Although the north east does not have as many hours of strong daylight as some parts of the country, an expert from the Green Energy company says that the lower temperatures here should extend the overall lifetime of the product. In fact, New Jersey has the second largest amount of solar energy creation, after California. By current estimates, the array will save 1437.5 pounds of carbon emissions annually, the equivalent of planting 145 2″ wide trees.
The hill below Cambrian Row is south facing, making it the best for solar production. It is also one of the most scenic views on campus, fulfilling the secondary goal of the solar panel project: education. Facilities purposefully chose a ground level placement so that people can see the technology up close. Two panels, separated from the rest, are fully adjustable and will be able to be used by physics classrooms for experiments. Assistant director of facilities Jim McGaffin said that solar is still a developing kind of energy and so "a college campus is a good place to showcase the technology and inspire people". One day it may be a Bi-Co student who helps to develop the next set of improvements to this technology.
