Nokia Lumia 1520 PreviewNokia Lumia 1520
Our is now published - click here to read it.
Interface and Functionality
The Lumia 1520 runs on the latest Windows Phone 8 Update 3 (aka GDR3) and it also has the Nokia Black update thauetooth 4.0 LE support. We are glad to see the most up-to-date version of Windows Phone here. Update 3 adds a lot of small improvements like custom notification tones, rotation lock and a new Driving mode. To the untrained eye, though, it's hard to see any difference between this latest version and earlier Windows Phone 8 versions. Live Tiles still come in three sizes (we really wish there was an even large tile size that would fit an entire horizontal block on the Lumia 1520), the app drawer is still a vertically scrollable list of names, and there's still no notification center.
Customization options on the Windows Phone 8 Lumia 1520 are limited to changing Tile Sizes and colors. You can also have at-a-glance clock on the lock screen and double tap to wake up the phone, but all these draw additional battery.
We like the selection of first-party apps on Windows Phone. Having mobile Office right out of the box is a huge plus. Since this is a Nokia phone, you also get some very neat applications that other Windows Phone handsets do not have. Nokia Drive with free offline turn-by-turn navigation and Nokia Music with its great free music streaming option are on board.
Basic functionality is also well covered with a phone app that integrates your social news circles (Facebook and Twitter) and contacts, and for texting you have an extremely large version of the stock keyboard that is a joy to type on.
Processor and Memory
The Lumia 1520 is the first Windows Phone device to ship with a quad-core processor. Under its hood is the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 system chip, the same piece of silicon you can find on the current crop of Android devices like the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. It's a 28nm architecture allowing the quad-core processor to hum at up to 2.2GHz speed, and it comes with Adreno 330 graphics and 2GB of RAM.
Internal storage comes at the fairly generous 32GB and it's also expandable via microSD cards of up to 64 gigs, so it should be enough to satisfy even the most storage-hungry users.
Internet and Connectivity
Accessing the web on a Windows Phone device happens exclusively via Internet Explorer and the Lumia 1520 is no exception. We don't like the lack of choice, but luckily mobile IE is a good browser on its own and with 4G LTE on board surfing the web is a pleasure.
The first Nokia phablet ticks all connectivity boxes: dual-channel Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 with LE support (courtesy of the Nokia Black update), NFC and GPS with Glonass.
You should keep in mind that the Lumia 1520 is an AT&T exclusive in the US and it won't support 4G LTE bands on other carriers.

When I hear 20 MPx camera with Carl Zeiss...yup no words for that just AWESOME!

Why author mentions many times that its very big. shockingly big etc..
Note 3 is also very big and you cant use it with single hand unless you have huge hands.
People who wants huge phones know this but they still buying them because they are OK about these limitations.
May be these tech bloggers should concentrate on how the device works in every other aspects because users know about the size already.

Very well said!

Yeah, actually I tried to use a Note 3 in a shop with one hand and I succeded! You should really just go and try to use a phone with a big screen. But Galaxy Mega and Z Ultra are too big even for me.
37. adecvat (Posts: 266; Member since: 15 Nov 2013)
Lumia 1520 is much bigger than Note 3 and you can use Note in one hand.
46. Bilpocalypse (Posts: 301; Member since: 13 Oct 2012)
The Lumia 1520 is roughly the same size as the Galaxy Mega. It is "shockingly" big, but that will not keep me from getting one.

What is wrong with 1520 camera - purple skies, purple video, shaky video and lazy autofocus. Shame.
42. hmmm... (Posts: 78; Member since: 05 Jun 2013)
You didn't bother to read the previous article? The pictures here are the same ones in a previous article. Which was taken on a cloudy fall day if you read the previous article, so of course it isn't blue. If a phone shows beautiful blue skies when the skies are covered by clouds, then it isn't doing it's job well. Lumia does quite well here considereing how little light there is.

looks okay, just wish Nokia would change up their design a bit. Its getting old.
8. fouadqr (Posts: 326; Member since: 21 Nov 2012)
the next lumias will have a metal body with new disign
9. oNEWorld (Posts: 140; Member since: 01 Aug 2013)
good! they stuck with this design for too long.
15. sri_tech (Posts: 188; Member since: 21 May 2013)
I hope they don't change it.
Most people don't get bored with phones designs quickly. Otherwise iPhones won't still sell well with the same design for 4 years.
27. RoyalPayne (banned) (Posts: 458; Member since: 07 Aug 2013)
oNEWorld i actually love this design, I had an eyegasm wen i first saw it! But respect ur opinion.
39. utg001 (unregistered)
for me, the Lumia 800 is still a sensual eyegasm, I wish they had a WP8 device with all design aesthetics of L800.

PA..when you review the lumia 1520 ..make sure to use red or yellow :/ not black !
7. jove39 (Posts: 1857; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
I like this device...its Nokia's first and excellent attempt in phablet category...I may own a Nokia device in future when WinRT and WinPhone merge at some time in future...for now...I am sure 1520 will make a excellent gift for WP buffs.

- "All this weight is distributed unevenly as the bulkier top overweighs the bottom where you hold the device, so you should be extra careful when you hold the device with one hand - a few times we almost dropped the device as it started tipping over"
It's called physics, not the weight is unevenly distributed! The phone would obviously tip over if you keep your hand on the down part. Its a big phone.
According to your reasoning, Nokia should distributed most of the weight in the down part of the phone so it does not tip over.

This for me is one of the most beautiful phones both on the outside and inside aswell. Too bad it doesnt run android as stock OS
13. QWIKSTRIKE (Posts: 1130; Member since: 09 Mar 2010)
There are many Android Phablets, and trust me Windows OS is about to make waves. I love Android own GS3, and Now a Nexus 5, and my future holds a Note 4, which very well could be my last Android device if windows 9 does what it should. I see myself realisticly owning an Android, and a Windows phone at the smae time.
36. alexfiran (Posts: 40; Member since: 13 Jun 2013)
wp 9 will be incredible..even 8,1 is outstanding..i have the biggest confidence in wp..even if now i,m using android
41. QWIKSTRIKE (Posts: 1130; Member since: 09 Mar 2010)
I agree, and I have been saying it for 2 years now, when it was unpopular. The Samsung Focus was smooth with live tiles, and I said that when this starts to mature it will be a force to be reckoned with.
The live tiles were smooth and had an appealing look. The phone was its draw back. Nokia is firing on alll cylinders with this!

What is going on, Victor H is actually writing kinda objective and good review? I am used to see him doing anti-Nokia articles for years!
Don't forget 4x HAAC microphones which makes this devices the best in audio recording and calling quality.
45. EasycapExpertti (Posts: 16; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
I agree this was the first good preview by Victor H about Nokia devices - now he even mentioned HAAC microphones which he didn't mentioned before with Nokia 808 PureView and Nokia Lumia WP8 phones (there is HAAC mics with all Nokia Lumia WP8 phones except Lumia 520/521). Here is what Victor H wrote in this preview about HAAC mics of Lumia 1520:
"Sound recording is superb on the Lumia 1520. The handset features four HAAC (High Amplitude Audio Capture) microphones that are able to record a higher sound amplitude. That should come particularly handy for club and concert goers as recordings there will turn out actually completely usable and much cleaner than on a regular smartphone that at high volumes records almost useless crackling sounds."

I better get mines on launch day, so Microsoft change those words saying back order under my preorder, I do not like to see words like that
18. DAddYE (Posts: 48; Member since: 04 Oct 2013)
If only will be able to run Android or anything else than Windows...
19. QWIKSTRIKE (Posts: 1130; Member since: 09 Mar 2010)
Android is not superior to the full Windows OS bud. Don't get me wrong I ditched the Pocket PC for Android with the EVO 4G and owna GS3, and a Nexus 5. However; being a Windows 8 PC builder/user the OS is starting to make great strides. When WP9 comes out and unifies the desk top and phone you and many other will eat those words!
20. DAddYE (Posts: 48; Member since: 04 Oct 2013)
Don't get me wrong, I like it a lot, I tried a WP7 for a week, indeed, awesome UI, smooth etc...
I'm a dev too, but I ditch anything isn't *unix just because I've my stuff that I may run on it.
21. QWIKSTRIKE (Posts: 1130; Member since: 09 Mar 2010)
I completely understand your position.
22. GeekMovement (Posts: 2156; Member since: 09 Sep 2011)
Love everything about this device aside from the camera hump. Course, that's probably not avoidable with such an epic camera, but if they found a way around it it would have been incredible.
23. QWIKSTRIKE (Posts: 1130; Member since: 09 Mar 2010)
Carl Zeiss is all that needs to be said about that....anyone into cameras now exactly what I am talking about. It would be hard to f up pictures with a Carl Zeiss lens unless the software is horrible....No other lens on the market or gimmick can beat a Carl Zeiss lens!
Nokia is taking the lead in camera qualith for sure!
29. UrbanPhantom (Posts: 949; Member since: 30 Oct 2012)
Nokia seems to have taken a commanding lead when it comes to camera related technology for smartphone devices. This, despite the fact that both Sony and Samsung produce the actual sensors embedded into their own machines!
However, just because you can make a guitar doesn't mean you can play it ;o)
24. NokiaFTW (Posts: 2071; Member since: 24 Oct 2012)
Best Nokia phone to date hands down!
25. TechCrazyedBoy (Posts: 129; Member since: 12 Nov 2013)
Thats one big Lumia!!!
28. GrosseFatigue (Posts: 139; Member since: 27 Jul 2011)
Best screen, best camera and video, best speakers, best game cell phone, best phone to take in the train with you.. what is left for the competition? The iPhone, the smallest easiest cell phone to hold with one hand!
30. GrosseFatigue (Posts: 139; Member since: 27 Jul 2011)
What is left for the competition: the iphone, the best phone to put in your slip.
31. GrosseFatigue (Posts: 139; Member since: 27 Jul 2011)
I am a Note aficionado but only the next generation Note 4 will be as good as the 1520.
40. utg001 (unregistered)
I hope that Lumia 1520's successor coming right after Note 4 is actually a Note 5 competitor :p
32. londoner (Posts: 34; Member since: 12 Sep 2013)
This is a great device and excellent performance... i just need Grindr on the wp market place.
33. Jeradiah3 (Posts: 1032; Member since: 11 Feb 2010)
This phone is worth thinking about when it comes to price and functionality. Im a big guy so the screen size is great for me, but Im not sure about trusting the OS enough to steer away from Android. Id have to look at it to change my mind
43. airisoverrated (Posts: 31; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)
At&t just dropped on contract price to $100. Really good deal.
However much I like this phone though, there are 2 shortcomings with At&t's model vs the international version.
First off, only a 16GB storage model. There should always be at lease a 32GB option (or microSD support) as well. That's just too little storage for those of us that like to listen to a lot of music and/or store a lot of photos. They say that option is coming, but who knows if or when. I mean how many people have given up on the Moto X wood options by now? Either you bought it without it or bought a different phone by now.
Next is the lack of an QI charging either built in or via accessory. So I'm a regular AT&T Lumina user. I got the 820 to dip my toe in and got this cool wireless Qi charging shell from the AT&T online store. Upgraded to the 920 and lo and behold the Qi charging is built in (and came with a Qi charger). The 1020 also has a Qi wireless charging case. So now I've got a bunch of Qi chargers around the house to plop the phone in and charge easily whenever. So why would you launch the new flagship with only PMA wireless charging support? Am I supposed to throw out all of these Qi chargers (they weren't free btw), or keep them around but not use them? Lets face it I'm invested here, and the lack of even a Qi charging shell or case is a huge miss.
Now I buy all my phones off contract so I'm in a different boat than many. I get to wait for the Lumina 929 on Verizon (with it's unlocked micro-sim slot). Smaller screen (5in vs 6in) but still 1080p, snapdragon 800, 2GB RAM, along with 32GB storage and built in wireless Qi (and at a lower off contract price). Now that's a phone I'd pre-order AT&T.
44. GrosseFatigue (Posts: 139; Member since: 27 Jul 2011)
It has micro SD to 64MB, who cares the amount of internal storage for $100 a phone on contract! It will be my first Lumia. What you I get for $100 is unbelievable. I am getting one.

Ward beat him convincingly, but Dirrell is definitely a match that should be done again if Dirrell can get himself into position in time. But it seems like Froch already has a plan all worked out.

I'd really hate to see him go, he's everything to love about a fighter. Challenges himself and even in defeat you can always count on him coming back stronger, which he has done consistently. I also love his trash talking because one could never tell whether he's being real or trolling, the way he said "As a fighter I don't think Bute wants to fight again, let alone fight me again, he got absolutely devastatingly beat, a whoopin' of all whoopings" I swear I couldn't stop laughing. Then the way he talks about his speed, what a character man!

Watching this Penn State football program year in and year out is like watching the movie Groundhog Day.
It comes down to the same issues every year - the offensive line has to be rebuilt, a question on the starting quarterback, focus on why Penn State is the only school in the country using co-offensive coordinators (Galen Hall and Jay Paterno), the bend but don't break defense.
And it goes on and on and on.
Or maybe we should label the Alabama game as a comedy of errors as far as the Nittany Lions were concerned. Quarterbacks were overthrowing their receivers, receivers were dropping passes or fumbling the ball.
Defensive back Nick Sukay looked bad on allowing a receiver to beat him to the punch on a thrown pass by Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron, who is in the same year as Penn State's Rob Bolden and yet Bolden has more reps than McCarron going back to last year but is not on a par with him.
This game was dominated by Alabama 27-3 with a few minutes left in the fourth quarter when Penn State came to life to score a touchdown due to Bolden's efforts. But this kid took a few knockout blows, which buckled his legs and probably left him with a good headache.
Coach Paterno spent the entire game up in the coaches box and not on the sidelines. I know he will take the blame for not calling a good game. Again, Joe and his staff were outcoached, and the players were outhustled.
Since 2006 at Wisconsin, Joe's injuries are mounting, and his rebounding from those injuries are getting slower and slower. The man is nearly 85 years old and doesn't bounce back like he used to. The doctors know he isn't fluid as he once was, which leaves him open to more risk than ever.
For you ardent loyalists of JoePa, the only reason he is still coaching is this Paul Bear Bryant connection of dying shortly after his retirement from Alabama. This is haunting Joe. The short of it is he feels he will die once he retires from coaching and hasn't the courage to face it.
Joe, we are all going to die some day! It is in the hands of the man upstairs and not you. But go ahead and be your selfish self, and let the people who pay the freight as members of the Nittany Lion Club and season ticket holders get the shaft.

Offensive staff needs new direction
I think Neil Rudel's report card was way too kind in the grading of the offensive coaches and our special teams.
The dysfunction with playcalling has been around for at least a decade, and there seems to be only one solution. Find an offensive coordinator and staff worthy of Division I playcalling and coaching.
Matt McGloin is what he is - an effective leader with a sub-par arm. Rob Bolden is the one I was most disappointed with, and that comes from an obvious lack of coaching from Jay Paterno. Too often Bolden found himself in a collapsing pocket and didn't know what to do with the ball.
The playcalling was horrible. After the scripted first 10 plays, they were horrible at making adjustments. How about rolling Bolden out of a pocket and where were the tight ends?
Until the offensive coaching staff is cleaned out, we will have nothing but problems on this side of the ball.
Special teams continues to get worse and worse. Who else was sitting on the edge of their seats when Evan Lewis kicked that 43-yarder? I actually thought to myself, if I cross my fingers on both hands, does that mean bad luck?
This is not a contending program anymore.
Lance Ranck

'Bold leadership needed'
I watched in amazement as the ESPN/ABC camera zeroed in on JoePa in the press box. He wasn't wearing glasses. Perhaps he just didn't want to see the sorry display on the turf. Remember Watergate: plausible deniability?
Yes, there were dropped balls. Yes, no question: Rob Bolden must be the one and only first-string QB. Yes the O-line needs improvement and fast.
And yes, defense, too. A.J. McCarron didn't hit the Beaver Stadium turf until midway through the third quarter.
Bold leadership is needed. It might come from a coach, a player, a group of players, but someone has got to step up and say we are better than OK. And demonstrate it.
Watching the dysfunction with Galen Hall and JoePa in the press box and the confusion on the sideline trying to call plays looked like the dysfunction/gridlock here in Washington.
Sadly, the results are the same.

Players fine, coaches not
I saw a PSU team that did match up last Saturday.
I saw a coaching staff that did not.
Game plans were very weak on both sides of the ball, and the new quarterback musical chairs game did nothing but give the Tide an advantage.
Hats off to the players, shame on the coaches. It's been a familiar theme against Top 5 competition.

NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
For dose-response assays, percentage maximum cell count and percentage of cells with micronuclei were plotted against drug concentration (Figure 2). Results show that micronuclei count increases with the drug treatment until toxic doses are reached and cells begin to detach from the plate.
Percentage maximum cell count relative to untreated controls can be used as a crude index of cell proliferation (PI), which typically decreases with increasing exposure to genotoxins.
Drug concentration at half maximal proliferation (PI50) was determined to be 127 nM for mitomycin C and 176 nM for etoposide (Table 2). These values are within the 95% confidence intervals of values obtained with the standard-chip camera, and correspond well with those reported in the literature (198 and 216 nM respectively) during validation of an automated micronucleus screening assay using GE Healthcare's IN Cell Analyzer 1000.
The percentage of the cells presenting with micronuclei at PI50 was also determined for each assay. Table 2 shows that values obtained with the standard- and large-chip camera were comparable to each other as well as to previously reported values.
The automatic online cell-counting facility of the IN Cell Analyzer 2000 enables the minimum number of cells required for statistical relevance to be imaged for each micronucleus assay. With this optional acquisition mode, successive fields of view are acquired until a preset count threshold is achieved.
For micronucleus assays, online cell counting ensures that the minimum cell count is reliably achieved even when test compound toxicity results in a cell-count decrease. Online cell counting has the additional advantage of reducing plate read times and the data-storage burden, since no excess images are acquired once the desired number of cells has been imaged. Furthermore, use of the large-chip camera option enables even faster results, with plate read times reduced by as much as 50%.

However, the Mountaineers outscored Marshall 48-32 in the second half to defeat the Thundering Herd 78-62 in the 2012 Capital Classic.
Senior forward Kevin Jones recorded his fourth straight 20-point game. He finished with 25 points and seven rebounds to lead the Mountaineers.
Fellow senior guard Truck Bryant, though he shot just 7-of-20, finished with 22 points.
WVU shot 49 percent from the field. While the Mountaineers were scoring from just about anywhere – specifically in the second half – Marshall could make on 5-of-19 shots from beyond the arc.
The Mountaineers out-rebounded one of the best rebounding teams in the nation 36-26, as well.
It was WVU's fifth win in six games. It is 14-5 for the season.
After being tied 30-30 at the half, there were five lead changes in the first four minutes of the second half, as the teams fought back and forth on offense.
WVU put together a 14-3 run in between the final moments of the first half and the early part of the second half. Marshall would respond as it did all game long.
Player of the Game
|Kevin Jones
25 points
7 rebounds
3 assists
8-of-12 shooting
6-of-6 free throws
Those Jones points led to 10 straight points and a 46-37 lead for the Mountaineers with 11:08 to play. In that stretch, WVU earned some key minutes from redshirt freshman Kevin Noreen, who was starting in place of injured forward Deniz Kilicli, in terms of scrappy plays.
WVU would own the final 10 minutes of the game. The Mountaineers, particularly Bryant and Jones, hit open shots. The two had 12 straight points in a quick stretch to take a 62-47 lead.
In that time, Marshall guard DeAndre Kane was hit with a technical foul after he turned the ball over and swatted at the ball in a WVU players hands that seemed to seal the deal. Jones would hit the two free throws.
In the first half, behind a 6-0 run including four points from Noreen, the Mountaineers were able to quickly take a 6-2 lead.
The Mountaineers' lead wouldn't grow any higher than four points in the half, as the Thundering Herd kept the game close.
At 20-17 WVU, Huggins decided to go to a zone defense, and that sparked a 10-0 Marshall run that gave the Thundering Herd a 27-20 lead – the largest of the game.
In that stretch, Kane scored eight straight points including an ally-oop dunk that sent the MU fans in attendance into a frenzy.
After going back to man-to-man defense and taking a timeout, the Mountaineers were able to get back on track and finish the half on a 10-3 run to tie the game 30-30 at the half.
Marshall shot better than 48 percent in the first half, while WVU shot 43 percent. Many of MU's buckets came off of tough shots or turnovers from the Mountaineers.

For Marshall, Kane had 19 points. Fellow guard Damier Pitts had 15 points, as well. No other player had more than 10 points for the Thundering Herd.


text: Explore La Ruta Panorámica Bosque Estatal de Carite Aibonito and around Barranquitas Bosque Estatal de Toro Negro Jayuya Adjuntas and around Share The route, officially La Ruta Panorámica Luiz Muñoz Marín after the first elected governor of Puerto Rico, is really an interlocking network of around forty different rural highways, so you should follow the small brown "Ruta" signs throughout – these can be unreliable, however, so invest in a detailed atlas or map of the island. You'll need two or three days to see everything, and longer if you intend to stop for some hiking along the way. On the east coast, the road begins as a loop between Yabucoa and Maunabo, incorporating scenic coastal highway PR-901. From Yabucoa, PR-182, a narrow road that rarely sees much traffic, takes you into the mountains, and eventually, via PR-181 and PR-7740, into the Bosque Estatal de Carite. Despite their somewhat hazardous reputation, driving the twisty roads up in the mountains is far less dangerous than the speeding highways of San Juan, assuming you stay within the fairly slow speed limits (usually 35mph), and take your time. All the roads are paved but heavy rain can cause problems, and there are some traffic black-spots around Aibonito. Places to stay are usually off the main route, and it's worth booking ahead as rooms are limited, though you should have no trouble finding petrol stations. Note that to camp in any of the forests, you'll need to get permits in advance from the DRNA in San Juan. Read More

UNB Report
Bagerhat: While the Sundarbans is gradually turning to be a hostile habitat for the wildlife because of its changing environment, the hunting of wild animals is keeping abreast with it, making the conservation of the forest harder than any time before.
The Forest Department records show that at least 49 tigers -- the flagship species of world's largest mangrove forest -- have been killed over the last one decade from 2001 to 2013 due to various reasons, including straying of the big cat in human habitat and hunting by smugglers.
However, people living in the regions claimed the number should be much higher because the incidents of tiger killing by smugglers are taking place very frequently in their vicinity.
The fact that the law enforcement agencies arrest some smugglers with one or two tiger hides once in a while does not reflect the magnitude of the smuggling. Smugglers lay traps made of nylon ropes as well as use gun-fire to hunt tigers, the local people said.
They also added that the hunters also hunted a huge number of spotted deer -- the main prey of the big cats -- and saltwater crocodile are hunted from the Sundarbans.
Tiger cubs are also hunted alive and then smuggled abroad through an international wildlife smuggling net-work. The smuggling is based on several villages inside the Sundarbans, the local people added.
Divisional forest officer (DFO) of the Sundarbans East Zone Amir Hossain Chowdhury said the Wildlife Cir-cle under the Forest Department has been strengthened to prevent the smuggling of whildlife in the Sundar-bans.
Bangladesh has a tiger population of 440, shows the Forest Department record.
According to the Saint Petersburg Declaration on Tiger Conservation, the 13 tiger range countries are commit-ted to striving to double the number of wild tigers across their range by 2022 by doing everything possible to effectively manage, preserve, protect, and enhance habitats.
But, scientists think that it is quite impossible to increase tiger population in the Sundarbans to double by 2022 in a limited forest area, only 6,017 square kilometers.
The nine-point Dhaka declaration, adopted by 13 tiger range countries at the 2nd Tiger Stocktaking Conference in September this year, also recommended a number of actions to double the tiger population by 2022.
The proposed measures include increasing investment in frontline staff remunerations and other facilities, con-serving tiger habitats, enhancing collaboration and knowledge sharing, restoring tigers in their former habitats, developing new partnerships with business and industries, increasing flow of funds, building awareness and engaging the communities to deal with human-tiger conflict.

• MISTAKEN AWARDS, PART ONE: Since NHL awards fail to take into account three months and four rounds worth of playoffs, the prizes become less than meaningful. A classic example has to be the mistaken vote for rookie-of-the-year. I say "mistaken" because playoff performance is omitted.
That's why The Maven says that Colorado's Gabriel Landeskog winning the Calder Trophy as Rookie of the Year is a joke. Consider this; Landeskog and his Avalanche didn't even make the playoffs. By contrast, no player was more responsible for New Jersey not only making the post-season but reaching the Final Round than Adam Henrique. The kid who seamlessly stepped in to top center Travis Zajac's regular-season role from the get-go merely scored two series-winning sudden-death goals over Florida and the Rangers respectively. Talk to me about Landeskog when he can come close to equalling Henrique's feats.
• MISTAKEN AWARDS, PART TWO: The Norris Trophy was meant to be given to the best DEFENSEman in the NHL; not a backliner who really plays more like a rover than a defenseman. Ottawa's Erik Karlsson is a talented lad, but only going in one direction; forward. Let's face it, this kid hasn't a clue about how to play behind his blue line, nor how to hit. Shea Weber of Nashville and Zdeno Chara do and either qualified for the best defense prize.
The Maven watched Karlsson closely in seven playoff games against the Rangers. If one player cost his team a series wins, it was Karlsson who was conspicuous by his ineffectiveness from the start to the end of the tournament. As a power-play quarterback, he was an abysmal failure and he wasn't so hot in all other key categories. Chara would have been a more meaningful choice, assuming that defense still counts.
• SURPLUS AWARDS, PART ONE: When does an award fall into the "One Too Many" category? Answer: Right now!
Can you believe that alongside the coveted Hart, Lady Byng, Norris and Calder Trophies, Bettman, Inc. now includes -- I kid you not -- what they call The EA Sports NHL13 Cover Athlete prize. You'll be happy to know that this year's winner was Philly's Claude Giroux. Me? I was rooting for Ilya Bryzgalov; but don't ask me why!
• SURPLUS AWARDS, PART TWO: There's a Mark Messier Leadership Award and Captain Shane Doan of Phoenix was the legitimate winner. That's fine and dandy and it should be sufficient. But, no, the league also gives away a King Clancy award -- I couldn't make this up -- for leadership and "contributions to his community" given to the Sens' Daniel Alfredsson Wouldn't you agree that one leadership award is enough?
As for Alfredsson, please note this for the record, Ottawa was leading the Rangers three games to two in the opening playoff round, minus Alfredsson. Then, captain Alfie returned for Game 6. Leadership? The guy had a seen-by-all tantrum at the bench, humiliating his coach, Paul MacLean. From Alfie's return to the finish, his Senators lost two a row and exited the playoffs Stage Left. Me? I'd go with the Messier Leadership Award. Everybody knows Mark. I remember King Clancy as a terrific defenseman, colorful referee and decent coach. Forget about leadership; why not a King Clancy Terrific Defenseman-Colorful Referee-Decent Coach award and get it over with!
• PEACE, IT'S WONDERFUL; MAYBE: There are about 2,289 theories about how the upcoming labor negotiations will go between Gary Bettman and Donald Fehr. They are all wrong because nobody -- and I do mean NOBODY -- knows for sure how the Collective Bargaining Agreement schmooze will go. One insider, familiar with these talks, tells me that there'll be a "crisis" sometime this summer when all will appear gloom and doom. This chap insists that before the clock strikes 11:59 p.m. at the Sept. 15 deadline that a deal will be cut. But since nobody really can figure this in advance, The Maven will merely listen and hope.
• DOES ANYONE WANT TWO J'S? Every year on the year, Jaromir Jagr puts himself on the auction block. One year, the Kontinental Hockey League beckons; and Jags goes. Last season, it was the Flyers and Jaromir gave Ed Snider his money's worth, especially in knocking Pittsburgh clear out of the playoffs and into Ohio.
More recently the center of Jagr-speak is Calgary where somebody planted the rumor that Two J's would be a good fit for the Flames. Maybe yes, maybe no. But if I'm GM Jay Feaster I'd name a coach -- anyone say Brent Sutter? -- first before fitting JJ in with a leader he may not like.
• DRIVING A NASH: It's been so long that a Nash automobile was manufactured that the only place you'll find one these days is in a car museum. Likewise, it's been so long since we started hearing Rick Nash trade rumors it seems as if the buzz-buzz started in another century.
The key here is less the player and more the general manager, Scott Howson. With his job tenuously on a gossamer string, Howie has to obtain more than a skating prune for Large Rick. The Blue Jackets' return has to be enough to suggest that an elusive playoff berth is at least possible; if not probable for Columbus. Which is another way of saying Howson must get a marquee name who'll play; and not a Jeff Carter either.
• AND A GOALIE, TOO: By the way, Columbus is about as weak in goal as Edmonton which means that believing Steve Mason can be a number one is roughly equivalent to naming Lady GaGa assistant coach of the Habs. (Lady can't speak French!) The Maven figures that Howson will take a long look at either Scott Clemmensen or Marty Biron, if the Jackets are serious about moving up in the goalie world.
• ARIZONA WEATHER REPORT: The good news out of Phoenix-Glendale is that the 2012-2013 NHL schedule provides for 41 home games at -- love this name! -- Jobing.com Arena. That means, barring the Jobing.com Arena's roof blowing into New Mexico, Dave Tippett's beloved Coyotes will skate for another year in Arizona.
Ah, but the bad news is that the black cloud hovering over this embattled organization still is the troublesome Goldwater Institute which endlessly has nitpicked away at the Coyotes; and continues to do so. Until the Goldwater franchise-feeders are dismissed out of hand and Greg Jamison's alleged fancy financiers are approved by Bettman, Inc. Phoenix-Glendale will remain Maybe-Hockey-Country. No more, no less!
• NICE GUYS DON'T ALWAYS FINISH LAST: Once upon a time a baseball manager named Leo (The Lip) Durocher utter a deathless comment -- "Nice guys finish last!" -- that has endured through sports history. The Lip was only partially correct. Winners of several NHL awards proved Durocher wrong.
Henrik (Vezina) Lundqvist, Ken (Adams) Hitchcock, Brian (Lady Byng) Campbell and Max (Masterton) Pacioretty are among the sweethearts of our business. If you don't believe me, just ask media types who cover them daily. Win, lose or Shootout, Lundqvist always makes himself available, post-game, because he's all class. The professorial Hitchcock will talk hockey with you 'til the cows come home. Campbell and Pacioretty also rank high on my NHL Goodfella Ladder. Or, as composer George Gershwin once wrote, "Who could ask for anything more?"
• THE LONG ISLAND SLEEPER: There are no "sleeping" cars on the Long Island Rail Road, but there may be an offensive "sleeper" at the Islanders' training camp in September. Drafted in the third round, 65th overall in 2010, Moscow-born Kirill Kabanov turns 20 next month. What's more, the gifted left wing may just be turning into a mature stickhandler who truly has found his game.
After a 55-point season for the Junior Shawinigan Cataractes and an impressive Memorial Cup showing, Kabanov will rate a long look from the Nassau high command. There's a reasonable chance that Kabanov finally has found himself ready for the pro game. We know he has the armament; what we don't know is whether Killer Kirill finally has learned how to shoot straight! Time will tell.

More than two weeks have passed since Suns forward Michael Beasley was arrested by Scottsdale police on suspicion of possessing marijuana, and the silence coming from US Airways Center is deafening.
The Suns still have not addressed what they plan to do with Beasley or even acknowledged his latest troubles, which came on the heels of a report that Scottsdale police are investigating a sexual-assault allegation against Beasley.
Messages left Tuesday with Managing Partner Robert Sarver, President of Basketball Operations Lon Babby and General Manager Ryan McDonough went unanswered.
Maybe there's just nothing left to be said, except this: Babby and his former GM Lance Blanks made an $18 million mistake.
Now, the Suns are going to have to eat all but $3 million of what remains of it, and the only question is whether they want to take their medicine in small doses or hold their nose and get it over with in a couple of big gulps.
Because Beasley was signed after July 1, 2011, a "stretch provision" in the NBA's collective-bargaining agreement applies to him. His $6 million salary next season is fully guaranteed. Half of his 2014-15 salary of $6 million — so, $3 million — also is guaranteed.
The "stretch provision" would allow the Suns to waive Beasley and pay the $9 million he's owed over five years while also stretching the salary-cap hit.
Or, the team could stretch out the money over that time frame but choose not to stretch it out against the cap. That's an appealing option because it gets him off the salary-cap books quickly while spreading out the financial damage.
The Suns have to make a call before Sept. 1. After that, the team could stretch only his 2014-15 salary and the cap implications. Beasley would get his $6 million for next season as scheduled.
But that's all accounting.
What's more important is accountability, and the Suns cannot go to training camp in Flagstaff next month with an elephant sitting in the middle of the living room, particularly if it reeks of pot smoke.
The club built up too much goodwill this off-season with the hiring of McDonough and coach Jeff Hornacek.
"I do think they're doing some good things there and beginning to get out of the woods," said Steve Kerr, an NBA analyst for TNT and former Suns president and GM.
Kerr said that, without knowing the particulars, he is reluctant to say what the Suns ought to do. But he agreed the reward the Suns have received from Beasley on the court has not been worth the risk they took signing him.
"That's absolutely fair to say, and I think the other factor is that he was brought in by the previous GM," Kerr said. "I'm sure Ryan wants to re-establish something there, and you don't need those kinds of distractions. You want a fresh start."
Beasley supposedly was looking for a fresh start when he got here. Instead, he just started a fresh rap sheet.
His Scottsdale arrest was an all-too-familiar scenario. It was nearly the same thing that happened in 2011 when Beasley was getting a second chance in the NBA with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Pulled over for speeding. Smell of pot. Drugs discovered. Cited for possession.
It's been one embarrassing incident after another for Beasley since the Heat drafted him in 2008 with the second overall pick, usually involving marijuana. As hard as it is to believe, there actually was a debate back then whether Chicago, with the first pick, should take Beasley or Derrick Rose.
That's how good Beasley appeared to be in his one season at Kansas State.
But the first puff of warning smoke went up before the guy even got through the NBA's Rookie Transition Program.
Police were summoned to a hotel room when a fire alarm went off, and they arrived to discover the smell of burning pot. But, evidently, no pot.
Two players, Mario Chalmers and Darrell Arthur, were in the room, but the pot was gone. They were dismissed from the program, which resulted in a $20,000 fine for each.
Beasley wasn't in the room. But later, Heat President Pat Riley reportedly made Beasley confess that he had sneaked out, and he was fined $50,000.
About a year later photos Beasley posted online had a questionable-looking plastic bag lying on the floor in the background. Perhaps coincidentally, he entered John Lucas' drug-treatment program in Houston. The Heat still unloaded him to Minnesota less than a year later.
After the 2011 incident, and an underwhelming second season there, Minnesota let him go into unrestricted free agency, where the Suns gifted him a three-year, $18 million contract.
For this they got 40 percent shooting, 10 points and fewer than four rebounds a game last season.
Yeah, we'd probably stay quiet, too.

Silver's first crisis as commissioner has arrived
Adam Silver's first crisis of his short tenure as NBA commissioner has arrived, a race-tinged scandal leaving those associated with the game wondering how strongly and swiftly the league will respond.
Allegations that Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling was caught on tape making racist comments rapidly overshadowed perhaps the most entertaining opening playoff round in league history. The recording was first released by TMZ, and there still has been no official confirmation that Sterling is on the tape. Another tape was released Sunday by Deadspin.
Silver's first priority is verifying Sterling's voice is in the recording. From there, Silver's next move remains unclear.
"I'm obviously disgusted that a fellow team owner could hold such sickening and offensive views," said Michael Jordan, the six-time NBA champion player who owns the Charlotte Bobcats. "I'm confident that Adam Silver will make a full investigation and take appropriate action quickly."
Miami owner Micky Arison called the comments "offensive, appalling and very sad."
It seems probable some sort of resolution comes before Game 5 of the series in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
"We're going home now," Clippers coach Doc Rivers said after Sunday's 118-97 loss. That series is tied 2-2. "Usually that would mean we're going to our safe haven. And I don't even know if that's true, to be honest."

Scenario planning for the future now essential
The 25 year economic Supercycle between 1982-2007 led to a major change in companies' budget processes. They could simply assume that growth would be more or less constant.

TUPELO – The long-anticipated renovation of Shoney's apparently won't happen.
Workers on Tuesday used tarps to cover all the signs at Shoney's on North Gloster Street in Tupelo.
The restaurant at 706 Hillcrest Drive has been "temporarily closed" since May 13. A sign was posted at the time inside the door saying the restaurant was closed for renovation and would reopen soon.
Tuesday was the first time crews have been seen on the property since May.
The restaurant's phone number also has been disconnected.
Workers with the sign company said they were told to cover the signs because the restaurant is permanently closed.
The workers covered the signs on the building, by the entrance and facing the North Gloster Street/McCullough Boulevard intersection.
Shoney's Corinth location also closed in May and the signs were taken down then. Its phone number also has been disconnected.
Tupelo and Corinth both have been removed from Shoney's location list on its website.
Shoney's corporate office in Nashville has not commented on the restaurants' future since a May news release, which said the company planned to renovate the Tupelo location.
Officials didn't return requests for information Tuesday.

The morning after Vance Worley had failed once again, he was summoned to Citizens Bank Park where Phillies officials waited at a table. They presented the case for ending Worley's season Wednesday and the 24-year-old righthander could not disagree.
"I mean, the way I've been pitching the last seven or eight games," Worley said, "it's almost like it needed to be done."
After 60 pitches served as the final evidence Tuesday, Worley maintained that the loose bodies in his right elbow that will be surgically removed next week had "zero effect" on his performance. The Phillies still believe that, even though they are shutting down Worley.

Hello, everyone. I've been lurking for a couple months and decided to join in on the forum to learn and educate, if I am able.
I am a 46 year old male 5' 9" 225 lbs. @ 12% BF. I've spent more than half my life in the fitness industry, with my focus on bodybuilding and supplementation. I was a competetive bodybuilder in my 30's but had to stop after neck, spinal and rib surgery to remove (benign) tumors years ago. I plan on stepping on stage again when I turn 50.....well, that's the plan, anyway.
As I've aged, and educated myself on the negative effects my bodybuilding lifestyle potentially has had on my body, I've become more and more aware of what a 'healthy' body really is. I wish I had the internet and other resource-rich tools at my disposal back then! But today is where I'm at and today is where I start. I've read and re-read the Primal Blueprint and firmly believe in the Primal lifestyle.
I'm going to take small steps daily towards going Primal. I cannot dive in head-first. I have much learning to do, with the first area of focus being the Primal diet.
Anyway, I look forward to chatting with you and exchanging opinions, facts, advice, criticism, whatever.
Nice to be here.

Hi everyone..... I'm a new Asian female to this forum and would just like to introduce myself....😊. I stumbled upon this website & has been following the forum thread for a month before I finally picked up the courage to join in (my first ever public announcement that I have an eating disorder!).
Would be be great to hear any help from all of you!
living in : Asia
age: 35 years
weight/height: 48kg / 163cm / around 10kg fats (according to my scale)
hobbies: running, baking, eating (ESP sweets 😖
Medical history: diagnosed with high cholesterol (above 300 points) last December. Stopped having my period since May 2012 - don't know why???
reason for wanting to go primal:
I've been on a compulsive eating behavior since 2 years ago when I fell in love with running. Would go all out bingeing whole day uncontrollable on everything insight in a day - 5 to 8 scoops of ice creams, 3 to 5 slices of cakes or bread at one seating....uncontrollable bingeing, especially on desserts, for 2 to 3 hours nonstop. I would feel so guilty & bloated and then I'll take laxatives to make myself feel better. I'll start the next day feeling bloated & telling myself not to repeat this again....will be good all the way till after dinner....then BAMM....it starts all over again with late night dessert binges!
the worse thing is I do all these in secret by myself cos I feel so ashamed of myself.... I am hoping to try primal living so that I don't have to keep tracking my calories everyday & be able live normally like my peers around me. (Doesn't help when I'm living in Asia where rice and grains is the staple food)
help! 😫😓

She was once a high profile member of Scientology. Now, she's left and is speaking out against it.
It's the bombshell rocking the church as she reveals what really goes on inside the controversial religion.
Jenna Miscavige's book is entitled Beyond Belief: My Secret Life Inside Scientology and My Harrowing Escape.
Statement from the Church of Scientology:
The Church will not discuss private matters involving Ms. Hill, nor any of
the efforts to exploit Mr. Miscavige's name.
We note that recollections in Ms Hill's book about her schooling are
dramatically at odds with the recollections of 30 of her classmates. Their
personal memories describe the exact same school at the exact same time as
an idyllic summer camp and boarding school-like environment with a
swimming pool, basketball courts, football fields, horse stables, citrus
orchards and organic gardens as well as facilities to study academics and the
arts. These former classmates have gone on to further the Church's social
and humanitarian goals, to enjoy successful careers of their own and to start
families. Far from expressing inconveniences, annoyances and bitterness,
they describe experiences leading to lifelong friendships while obtaining an
educational and spiritual foundation that continues to enrich their lives
Moreover, it should be noted that once her time at the school was completed
Ms Hill as an adult voluntarily chose to continue in the Church's religious
order. However, those who successfully devote themselves to any rigorous
religious order do so with full commitment, without any sense of entitlement
and without any expectation of preferential treatment. Those who decide a
religious order isn't for them are free to move on with their lives, as Ms Hill
did. Every religion has its detractors; there is no faith that can satisfy
everyone's spiritual needs.
The Church has long respected the family unit while accommodating and
helping those raising children. Any suggestions to the contrary are false.
The book itself acknowledges it contains "re-created"" dialogue and two
dozen pseudonyms. Likewise, descriptions of the Church when Ms Hill attended years ago as well as second - and third-hand accounts of how the
Church is today are equally dubious. Revisionist histories are typical of
apostate behavior and tabloid tales should always be taken with an enormous
grain of salt. The real story on the Scientology religion, its beliefs and
practices can be found at www.scientology.org.

My 5th kyu Aikido exam, on 6 February, 2010. I have been training less than a year. 5th kyu is the second test we do (still a white belt). You can read my comments about this test on my blog (www.grabmywrist.com/post/374927872/5th-kyu-test). I am very grateful to my very perceptive, kind, and dedicated mentor and uke, Daniel Vallieres, to Dave Goldberg Sensei, and all the teachers and students at Aikido of San Diego (www.aikidosd.com). Thank you to Michael Eskin for the video!
This is me, showing of my custom MVSDK e-level, and failing miserably at it... I've made this short level way too hard with the two Donkey Kongs. Even my editing after the first failures did not help... I've created this level simply to show, that you can place Donkey Kong in his various boss variants as an enemy in regular levels. This allows us to create some interesting new challenges not found in any of the original levels! I wanted to edit the level a second time, but somehow my cheating tool crashed the game (and produced the weird background "effects") the second time I wanted to use the level editor... I consider myself to be a quite skilled MVSDK player, so I'd say, that whoever manages to beat this level on the first try is a real WINNER!!! (Or just damn lucky) ;)
I made this animation to test out if i could rig a pumpjack. This is more a technical video, still, i hope you like it. Its unlike most movies i posted, its short and hasnt got a lot of eyecandy, still i thought it was good to share online ;) (Do dont rate or comment about that) only the lightgreen axle and the blue axle are animated, the rest follows its movements. also for the "cable" and the driving arm i used a look-at constraint. It was made using 3dsmax by Rachel vd M.

'Donkey' by Soonio Productions is one of those games that frustrates you up until the point that you feel like crushing your ipod with your bare hands. A game that has many questions and simple instructions is sure to keep you addicted, just like me. Many of you may of heard the famous 'The Moron Test' which tests your skills to follow on-screen instructions which indicate to either press one of the many pictures and diagrams on the screen. Donkey is a game very similar to that, except it has a bit more variety and is much more challenging. Once you start the game, you will get given a question such as 'Press the balloons from red to violet (the colours of the rainbow)', and all you have to do is complete what it says, then you will get given anther instruction and so on. If you get an answer wrong, miss where you were suppose to tap, or just run out of time, you will get 'Donkeyed', which displays a donkey screen with an annoying sound. I really love this game, it is well made and isn't boring like some other intelligence/moron test apps. There are many different questions and they all require you to think carefully and quickly before the time runs out. Go check this app out and get all future updates free! hubpages.com

Testing my midi importer for Banjo-Kazooie to make sure everything is working properly. As you can see there is a little trouble with a note "hanging" in the second song. I am unsure of what causes that, but it happens in some other midi files as well. What you are viewing are songs that were converted from the standard midi format (type 1) files to the Compressed N64 Midi Format which is compatible with Banjo-Kazooie, Donkey Kong64, and Banjo-Tooie. The program itself will be very simple to use. All you need to do is click the "Import" button, select a song and it will parse all the data for you. Then you choose an instrument for each track and hit the Export button. Simple as that. V1.02 - Download Link: www.mediafire.com

I downloaded a version of FCE Ultra called FCEUX which has a built in video recorder so I can capture NES game footage that way instead of relying on shitty out of sync hypercam. This is just a test to see how well the footage looks on youtube. I was amazed at how flawless the footage looked on my computer, but then again youtube usually turns the quality to garbage, but on the bright side, it will at least be in sync. Anyway, I decided to test the software by playing the NES version of the arcade Donkey Kong. I did a quick playthrough of the 3 playable levels.

Set to open later this month in Mexico City, the chain appropriately called "Hard Candy" (the name of her most recent album) will also eventually have locations in Russia, Brazil, Argentina, Europe and Asia, according to a press release.
Madonna is doing the club in partnership with her manager Guy Oseary and New Evolution Ventures (NEV) with Mark Mastrov, the founder of 24 Hour Fitness. The first Hard Candy Fitness will be a beautiful and uniquely designed 30,000-square-foot space, Mastrov said in a statement. (more…)

UN/ISDR Calls for Applications for Asian Writeshop
12 July 2010: The UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UN/ISDR) and the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) are calling for applications from young scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and others from Asia working in the field of climate change and disaster risk reduction (DRR) to participate in a "writeshop."
The aim of the process is to allow participants' work to be incorporated into that of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and other high-level bodies. The writeshop is scheduled to convene from 20-24 September 2010, in Bangkok, Thailand. Participants will produce a peer-review quality publishable article, while gaining enhanced awareness of the process of writing papers for academic journals. Papers should address topics relevant to climate change adaptation and the 2011 Global Assessment Report on DRR, under the themes of enabling environments, governance and ecosystem services.

ESPN recruiting analyst Tom Luginbill's take on the Clemson class of 2014, currently ranked No. 13 nationally by ESPN:
"With Clemson, they've done a really good job when you consider what they knew they were going to be missing and who they had to replace quickly," Luginill said in a telephone conference call. "I think they've done it. They've done it at wide receiver, they've most certainly done it at quarterback with DeShaun Watson, who has been a very high-profile verbal commitment to them for almost two years.
"But when you look at where their needs are in this class, all their need areas are all the top five to six rated guys in the class. Whether it's Milan Richard at tight end, or Jae'lon Oglesby at running back, or Trevion Thompson at wide receiver, they've done a really nice job there.
"It's going to be a small class because the bulk of the roster is back, and if you're a Clemson fan, that's good news."

Donnell off to state
Overcoming injury, Oak Harbor senior Scott Donnell capped off an outstanding fall tennis season with a second place district finish and a state berth on Friday afternoon.
In the final point of the championship match between Donnell and the number one player from the South, Mike Reading, Donnell received what could have been a crucial injury.
He went for a ball that was behind him and he pulled a muscle in his lower back, head coach Horace Mells said.
Although he lost the match 6-3, 7-5, Donnell still had a consolation match to prepare for in less than two hours. After serious icing and the use of a back brace, he was ready to go in his winner-to-state match against Mount Vernons Eric Fredlund.
He was able to play without increasing his level of pain, Mells said.
Donnell, who had already beaten Fredlund four times this year had no trouble with him in his fifth try, winning 6-3, 6-1.
He played really well, Mells said.
The victory ensured Donnell a second place finish and was good enough for the final berth into the state tournament held this May.
Despite losing to Reading in the championship match, Mells was pleased with what he saw from his number one singles player.
The guys from the South are powerful, Mells said. Scott had it working, he just came up a little short. I felt like if Scott could have gotten that second set, he could have won.
Donnell is the first Oak Harbor boy to make the state tournament since Marc Manucal went in 1999 and 2000. The tournament will take place in May, but the location is yet to be decided. Yakima and Spokane are currently bidding for the tournament.

Don't let it get away!
Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
The times, they are a changin' at General Motors (NYSE: GM ) , where the boardroom could be a museum of American corporate bureaucracy and machismo. Well, move over, Jack Donaghy, and make room for Mary Barra, the first ever woman to lead a big car company. She will take over in January.
On Monday, the Treasury Department sold its last shares of GM that were given in exchange for the government bailout of 2009. On Tuesday, GM announced a new CEO. GM is excited about the rebirth and rebranding of the company as a progressive and modern automaker: no more red tape, no more U.S. government ownership, and a woman as CEO.
Mary Barra is a 33-year veteran of the company and will be replacing the former Naval officer (who happens to have the best power dome in the business). The hallmark news for women in corporate America was on front pages everywhere Tuesday. And GM stock trickled down 1.2% on the news.
Apparently it's no longer in style to be Chip Wilson. The founder of lululemon athletica (NASDAQ: LULU ) announced that he's stepping down as chairman (but will stay on the board), after violating the first rule of management: Don't offend everybody. He recently claimed that "some women's bodies just actually don't work" in Lululemon yoga pants.
3. Starbucks sales not hot enough
Unfortunately for Planet Earth's biggest coffee chain, the legendary red-holiday-cups-everywhere aren't paying off. Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX ) fell nearly 4% midday and finished down 2.7% Tuesday as sales rose by 6% last quarter -- slightly below the previous two quarters' growth.
4. Regulators approve "Volcker Rule"
There's one more thing I-banks aren't allowed to do anymore, after five regulatory agencies approved the "Volcker Rule" Tuesday. This rule forbids banks from gambling with customers' deposits that are federally insured. It's been written and rewritten for over three years since the Dodd-Frank reform was passed in 2010, but now it's finally going to happen.
Paul Volcker is a legendary former Fed chairman who thinks it's insane to let banks make risky investments with money that belongs to customers. Politicians agreed, and now we have the rule banning the profitable trading business that used to generate as much as 10% of Wall Street banks' total profits. The law is supposed to protect taxpayers from banks' risky business, but it's terribly complicated and the rule is more than 1,000 pages long. We hope banks finish reading it by 2015, when it begins to be enforced.

You can try vtigunparts.com
It will help if you know who made it, like Pietta, Uberti, Armi San Marco, or another.
Also, Dixi Gun works will have some parts. I have seen barrels there, but I don't know about fitting.

vti has a good rep but so does Taylor's and Co. I have used Taylor's for parts for my 1851 and they worked just fine.
April 29, 2008, 11:28 PM
then it also depends on what gun you have. like cimaron sells parts on there site. i think dixie gun works sell parts too
April 30, 2008, 08:56 AM
I'd try to avoid Dixie unless you have no choice. The last couple of times, got parts that didn't fit anything I owned (Uberti, Pietta, Euroarms. ASM). Too much of a hassle and expense to send back. VTI seems the best for Uberti and Pietta, if ASM try Deer Creek, lots of parts.

Cabela's sells some parts. They have a repair kit that includes a replacement hammer, trigger, main spring, hand with hand spring, cylinder stop and trigger/stop spring for $24.99, the individual parts sell for double this if you were to buy them separately. Also sell cylinders for $39.99.

The announcement comes after decades of inaction on abortion in Ireland, and just weeks after the predominantly Roman Catholic country faced international criticism over the death of an Indian woman hospitalized in Ireland with an imminent miscarriage.
Health Minister James Reilly said parliamentary hearings on the issue would begin next month, lawmakers would receive a bill by Easter and they would be expected to vote on it by the summer.
Pope meets with Italys Olympic teams
VATICAN CITY Pope Benedict XVI told Italys Olympic team not to be tempted by performance-enhancing drugs, saying doping was a blind alley that isnt worthy of such models of perseverance, sacrifice and human ability.

And while victory is a worthy goal, he said, Pressure to win good results should never prompt you to take shortcuts as happens with doping.
Canadian court rules witnesses can wear veil
TORONTO A female witness can wear a religious veil that covers her face while testifying in court in certain circumstances, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled in a split decision in a landmark case that pitted religious freedom against an accused persons right to a fair trial.
The case involved a Muslim woman who sought to wear the veil known as a niqab, which leaves only the eyes exposed, while testifying against her uncle and a cousin whom she claims sexually assaulted her when she was a child.
The woman, who can only be identified as N.S. due to a publication ban, said her religious beliefs dictate that she wears the veil in public or in the presence of men who arent members of her family.
The two accused claimed that the Charter of Rights and Freedoms allowed them to confront their accuser and observe her facial expressions as she testifies.
But the womans lawyers said facial expressions can be misleading. They said Muslim sexual assault victims will hesitate to go to police if theyre barred from wearing a niqab while testifying in court.
Family claims pastor being held in Tehran
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates The U.S. State Department says it is in contact with the family of a man described by activists as an Iranian-American Christian pastor jailed in Tehran.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Thursday in Washington that officials were aware of the case, but could give no further details due to privacy considerations.
Rights groups say the pastor, Saeed Abedini, has been held since late September after being arrested while visiting family.
Specific charges are unknown and Iranian officials have made no comment. Some activists believe Abedini, who became a U.S. citizen in 2010, was jailed for trying to convert Muslims a crime in Iran that could lead to capital punishment.

Expense of going to three lanes
Under the new ordinance, for a two-lane street to be widened to three lanes, the entire roadway must be rebuilt, removing the curbs and gutters and constructing new storm drainage and pavement.
The council is planning to amend the ordinance as it looks at each quadrant of the city. Currently, the language regarding the controversial alignment of 135th/136th Avenue NE--previously sited through Chevron, Doug's Boats, Simon and Son, and Knoll Lumber properties--puts the city in a position to look at that road as development occurs.
TRF, Brittany Park to develop soon
TRF-Pacific, which is proposing a 44-acre retail center, has submitted a binding site plan which includes the proposed grid roads. Now, city staff must look to see if the plan coincides with the ROW widths in the new gridroad ordinance.
Clearing and grading could begin in early to mid-July, and a large hole and concrete vaults are expected as the precursor to TRF's stormwater retention system, a new system which will compost the site's stormwater.
LeisureCare's proposed Brittany Park has also been holding their plans for the new right-of-way to be set.
