Had to replace the original battery on my '98 Stratus after 150K miles. Was I lucky it lasted so long, or is this now considered normal lifetime?

On an American vehicle, it is much better than average.Some Japanese batteries make 8 years with some regularity. ***
"normal" lifetime is closer to 4 years. I'd say you probably live in a battery-friendly climate and drive the car regularly...

It used to be that 4 to 5 years was the max for original batteries.

Depends on climate and a lot of other things. I think behavior like that wasn't uncommon when I was in Seattle; it would be unheard of for me now in the desert.

Thanks to all who replied. So it's not such a rare thing then, provided the climate is not extreme. Well, since the car has been living between Baltimore and New York, I guess that's the case, and battery life of 6 to 9 years is not surprising. Joe, are you saying that heat is detrimental to batteries in the long run? I was thinking cold is bad just for the moment (decreased capacity only while it's cold), but didn't know what effect heat has (if any).
Both heat and cold are very hard on batteries. I would suspect that 4-5 years is still pretty much the rule for OEM batteries and that you got one of the good ones.
Heat definitely reduces battery life. I googled around for a while and found http://www.mpoweruk.com/life.htm#arrhenius which shows the effect pretty graphically (I don't know what a "tubular ironclad" lead-acid bettery is, and it's pretty clearly either something very different from what we put in our cars or else the X-axis should be labeled in months rather than years, but the graph shows the qualitative effect anyway).
My '95 Concord battery lasted 5 yrs., the typical battery life span for me over many years of driving. It's replacement is still going strong, at 6 yrs. I bought a much better replacement for the original, as large a capacity battery as the holder would take. Original batteries are usually a fairly small size.
My wife's Sebring battery is soon 5 yrs., but since she drained it to nothing twice due to leaving the trunk open, I don't expect much from it. The Sebring trunk doesn't pop up when unlocked and the driver warning is very poor- the CD player msg panel says "deck"! We won't know till the end if it even looks clean on top, it's hidden in front of the left front wheel. An ugly location for a battery, but better that those cars that have it in the trunk. I had 3 VW Beetles and never did like having the battery under the rear seat. I occasionally could smell fumes from those batteries.
Letting a battery go dead and leaving it dead for some time is not the best for it's life. When we bought a '97 Daytona it had been sitting in the dealers back lot and the battery was very dead. I requested a new battery and caught them not replacing the dead one as I had identified it. Their replacement "new" only lasted 4 yrs, so I expect they put another drained one in it.
I always ripped the back seat out and put in a big American car battery in a plastic vented hot rod battery box.
The trunk is the best place for a battery IMO.
When the battery on my '49 VW died in Zambia, I crank started it for a month or so until the battery on the big Leyland lorry died. It had one bad cell on the one end, so I hacksawed the post off, and fastened it to the center cell link so I had a good 6 volt battery. Pulled out the back seat and stuffed THAT in it's place. That monster must have weighed pretty durn close to 100 lbs!!
Never had any cranking problems from then on -------
I am still running the original battery in my 97 Intrepid. Climate is South Eastern Ontario so it does see the cold! Mark

Darryl: Guiliani giving advice??? *Harold Giuliani, Rudy's father, served time in prison for armed robbery in the 1930s. *His first marriage, to Regina Peruggi, was annulled after 14 years when Giuliani discovered he and his wife were second cousins. *Rudy Giuliani and Judith were frequently seen together long before they married.Giuliani Paid Judith $125,000 a Year for Speech Writing, Even Before They Married *Back in 1999 and 2000, when Rudy was cheating on his second wife, he used public money and policemen to carry on his affair. How? Let me count the ways -- -- City-financed trips to Southampton, the expensive celebrity resort where his girlfriend had a condo -- Undercover police drove his girlfriend (Judith Nathan) around New York, when Guiliani was nowhere near. "She used the PD [police department] as her personal taxi service," according to one former Giuliani staffer. -- Those police drove Judith 130 miles to Pennsylvania to visit her parents. -- Those police drove Judith's FRIENDS around the city, even when SHE wasn't there. -- Guiliani even made 2 police detectives walk Nathan's DOG. Yes, New York's finest, scooping up poop from the mayor's mistress' dog. Bernard Kerik, Giuliani's former chauffer, who pled guilty to two misdemeanors for receiving $165,000 in renovations from a company accused of mob ties Giuliani prizes loyalty, and he has stayed loyal to a number of friends who are flat out criminals. Even after he knows about their misdeeds and allegations (or convictions!) of crimes, Giuliani socializes with them, hires them at his security firm, or has them raise money for his campaigns.

Biotech BeatShared publicly -
"The reason I bring this up is that it reminds me of the power imbalance that used to exist between the big guys and the little guys in pharmaceuticals. For at least 10 years, the big guys (Big Pharma and Big Biotech) had the dominant upper hand in negotiations with small innovators. That's no longer true. The little guy with a promising new drug candidate can walk away from a low-ball bid and go public now. The rising tide of the stock market has roughly doubled the group of companies that have the cash to buy innovative new drugs. The group of potential buyers is about twice as big as it was 3-5 years ago, according to a couple of venture capitalists I spoke with at JP Morgan."

Plunkett stars in two disciplines
On the day Durham team-mate Graham Onions was making a spectacular entry into Test cricket, Liam Plunkett offered a reminder of his ability with a starring role for the LV= County Champions at Hove.
Plunkett, 24, who played the last of his nine Tests two years ago, followed a career-best 94 not out by wrecking Sussex's top order with three wickets in 17 balls in the Division One match.
Replying to Durham's 380, Sussex slumped from 81 without loss to 109 for five as Plunkett uprooted Chris Nash's off stump for 40 and had Murray Goodwin and Rory Hamilton-Brown caught behind for nought.
With Mitchell Claydon picking up skipper Michael Yardy and then Ed Joyce, Durham were in a strong position to enforce the follow-on, but Sussex were revived by a sixth-wicket stand of 150 in 38 overs between Luke Wright and Andrew Hodd.
Wright struck nine fours in his 67 before he was caught at square-leg off a slog-sweep at Ian Blackwell, but Hodd closed on 84 not out - his highest score for two years - with Sussex 269 for six.
This was Plunkett's day, however, and the only disappointment was that Durham's tailenders did not hang around long enough to enable him to complete his maiden first-class hundred.
Resuming on 318 for seven, he helped Callum Thorp add 59 in 18 overs for the eighth wicket, Plunkett's only moment of alarm coming when he offered no shot to Ollie Rayner and was fortunate to survive the off-spinner's lbw appeal.
With Damien Wright only able to bowl 17 balls before going off with a side injury, Sussex's attack lacked penetration, but eventually Rayner made the breakthrough when Thorp holed out to deep mid-on for 29.
Wright soon uprooted Claydon's off stump and Plunkett was only able to add three more runs before last man Steve Harmison was caught behind pushing forward to Rayner, leaving Plunkett with the consolation of a career-best score, made off 184 balls with eight fours.
Sussex openers Nash and Yardy made a positive start to the reply and Yardy lodged his first half-century of the season, from 91 balls with six fours, but by then Sussex had collapsed as Plunkett found some seam movement to run through their top order.
Joyce gloved the ball down the leg side to give Claydon the first of two wickets and he showed his liking for left-handers by bowling Yardy with a ball of fullish length as Sussex lost five wickets for 28 in seven overs.
At 109 for five the follow-on target looked some way off but Wright and Hodd survived a ferocious burst from Harmison to take the attack back to Durham after tea.

New DVDs due for release on Dec. 13
RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES (Fox) A scientist's continued work on a cure for Alzheimer's give his subject - a chimp - super intelligence. When the scientist is forced to give up his experiment, the chimp, now grown and known as Caesar, has other ideas. Redo of the classic sci-fi tale first filmed in 1968, with James Franco, John Lithgow, Freida Pinto, Tom Felton and, as the chimp via motion-capture performance, Andy Serkis. (PG-13; violence) Not reviewed.
KUNG FU PANDA 2 (Paramount/DreamWorks) Animated sequel has pretty much everything the original had - lush animation, an engaging hero, equal parts humor and martial arts action, and a surprisingly menacing villain. But without the novelty, it feels like, well, a sequel. With voices by Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, Seth Rogen, Jackie Chan, Dennis Haysbert, Jean-Claude Van Damme. (PG; martial arts action, mild violence) ** 1/2
FRIGHT NIGHT (Disney) A high school student becomes convinced his new neighbor is really a vampire, but when he sets out to prove it, the vampire has other ideas. Remake of 1985 comedy-horror movie, with Anton Yelchin as the teen vampire slayer wannabe, Colin Farrell as the vamp next door and David Tennant as the faux vampire hunter enlisted to assist. (R; gore, violence, language) **
DETECTIVE DEE AND THE MYSTERY OF THE PHANTOM FLAME (Indomina) When a Chinese empress in waiting sees her political opponents go up in flames, she recruits a crafty detective to investigate the phenomenon. Film by iconic Hong Kong director Tsui Hark tosses together all the properties of classic martial-arts action dramas in a way that, while often dazzling, doesn't always hold together. There is nothing wrong with its reach, but its grasp of genre elements is random. With Andy Lau. In Mandarin with English subtitles. (PG-13; violence, innuendo) ** 1/2
TANNER HALL (Anchor Bay) Rooney Mara - the girl in the upcoming "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" in a coming-of-age drama set at an English boarding school. With Georgia King, Brie Larson, Amy Ferguson, Tom Everett Scott. (R; sex, brief nudity, drug use) Not reviewed.
CIRCUMSTANCE (Lionsgate) Sundance Film Festival award-winning coming-of-age story about two girls in Tehran, lifelong friends, who fall in love with each other.

THE HELP. In early 1960s Mississippi, a journalism graduate, played by Emma Stone, stirs things up when she decides to write a book about the experiences of the African-American women who work as domestics in the homes of her friends and their families. Based on the bestselling novel, film about the chasm of race in America has the best of intentions, but it also feels like a missed opportunity, particularly when we get glimpses of the lives and spirit of the women struggling to keep their dignity among people intent on denying it. With Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer, Sissy Spacek, Bryce Dallas Howard, Jessica Chastain. (PG-13; adult themes) ***
FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS. Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis, disappointed with romance, agree to a sex-only relationship. Complications ensue. Smart sex comedy by writer-director Will Gluck ("Easy A"). With Patricia Clarkson, Woody Harrelson, Jenna Elfman. (R; sex, language) ***
THE SMURFS. The little blue people who use the word "smurf" for just about anything travel through a magical portal, and wind up in . . . New York City. Live-action / animation hybrid doesn't have much new to show, but gets boosts from a gamer of a performance by Neil Patrick Harris as the New Yorker with Smurfs in his apartment and Hank Azaria as the evil but hapless Gargamel. With Smurfy voices by Katy Perry, Jonathan Winters, Fred Armisen. (PG; some mild rude humor) **
THE HANGOVER PART II. On the way to a wedding in Thailand, a "bachelor's brunch" turns into another lost weekend - with danger, disaster and a pretty suspicious monkey. The ante is higher - and the antics more manic - this time around, but it still doesn't pack the same punch. With Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms, Ken Jeong. (R; drugs, drinking, sex, language, violence) ** 1/2
THE DEBT. A tragedy makes Israeli spies who, decades earlier, brought a brutal Nazi to justice, realize they still have some unfinished business to tend to. Stylish thriller, told partly in flashback, with Helen Mirren, Sam Worthington, Jessica Chastain, Jesper Christensen, Marton Csokas, Ciaran Hinds, Tom Wilkinson. Directed by John Madden. (R; violence, language) ***
COWBOYS & ALIENS. A cross between "True Grit" and "Super 8," this victim of special-effects fatigue is an example of how ideas can go wrong when good filmmakers do nothing. Daniel Craig plays a fugitive who wakes up in the desert with a strange bracelet on his wrist, not knowing how he - or it - got there. But all becomes clearer once aliens begin strafing the town from the air and stealing its residents. Or not. With Harrison Ford. (PG-13; intense scenes, fantasy violence) ** 1/2
MR. POPPER'S PENGUINS. Jim Carrey as a workaholic whose world is turned upside down - and, maybe his family brought back together - when he inherits a flock of penguins from his long-gone father. Based on the classic children's book. (PG; mild rude humor, some language) Not reviewed.
POINT BLANK. Thriller about a man whose pregnant wife is kidnapped and told that, unless he helps to retrieve a hospitalized man in police custody, she and the baby will die. In French with English subtitles. (R; violence, language) Not reviewed.
LIFE, ABOVE ALL. Award-winning drama about a 12-year-old girl in South Africa trying to take care of her family when her alcoholic single mother shows symptoms of having AIDS. In Sotho with English subtitles. (Not rated; mature content) Not reviewed.

There's Festus Ezeli, the 6-11 junior center from Benin City, Nigeria.
There's Jeffery Taylor, the 6-7 junior forward from Norkopping, Sweden.
There's Steve Tchiengang, the 6-9 junior forward from Douala, Cameroon.
There's James Siakam, the 6-6 freshman forward who also hails from Douala, Cameroon.
Vandy owes three of those four considerable credit for its 20-6 overall record and its 8-4 SEC mark. Taylor, a second-team All-SEC pick last year, is averaging 14.5 points and 5.7 rebounds. Ezeli averages 12.4 points and 5.2 rebounds while leading the team in blocked shots with 63. Tchiengang averages 17 minutes and 5.3 points per game, hitting a spectacular 46.3 percent (19 of 41) from beyond the 3-point line. Siakam is redshirting.
Vol head man Bruce Pearl has had but one international player in six years on The Hill, Nigeria-born Emmanuel Negedu, and he transferred to New Mexico when heart issues ended his career as a Vol after just one season. Still, Pearl praises the Commodores for spanning the globe in search of talent.
"I give them a lot of credit for that (recruiting well internationally) but also for their athleticism," Pearl said. "This is probably the most athletic Vanderbilt team in a long time."
Because recent NCAA regulations have made it more difficult to sign foreign athletes, many schools have stopped recruiting internationally. That has reduced the competition Vandy faces when it ventures overseas.
"Being the academic institution that they are, they have to have their niche," Pearl said. "It's not been easier to recruit foreign players. In fact, the rules have made it more difficult. Therefor a lot of people have gotten away from it but Vanderbilt has gone to it. There aren't as many people out there that are taking that route."
Vanderbilt coaches are piling up a lot of frequent-flier miles but they're also building some nice recruiting pipelines by making a splash in foreign talent pools. Pearl can relate on a smaller scale.
"Brian Williams wasn't the only reason Tobias Harris came here," the Vol coach said, referring to Tennessee's New York City connection. "But it was helpful. Now that they (Commodores) have gotten some guys coming from overseas, being away from home, I'm sure that's something those guys are able to rally around."
Ironically, for all of the travel Vandy's staff endured while recruiting Nigeria, Cameroon and Sweden, the Commodores' best player grew up just 20 miles from the Nashville campus. That would be John Jenkins of Hendersonville. Based on league games only, the 6-4 sophomore is leading the SEC in scoring (22.2 points per game), 3-pointers (3.3 per game) and minutes (36.8 per game). He's sixth in field-goal percentage (53.1), second in free-throw percentage (92.1) and third in 3-point percentage (46.5).
Pearl says he tried hard to recruit Jenkins but never got a foot in the door. Jenkins apparently did not want to risk getting stuck behind Scotty Hopson, a former McDonald's All-American who was just about to embark on his freshman year with the Vols.
"I think one thing John looked at was Scotty Hopson," Pearl said. "We had a young Scotty Hopson on our team, and they (Commodores) had a Shan Foster that was kind of on his way out. They had a real opportunity for him (Jenkins) to come in and play. We had a young Scotty Hopson in the program, and they're both shooting guards.
"We tried, but he (Jenkins) was very much a Vanderbilt commitment."

The clip the past from Baby Mama (2008) So, are you pissed that no one ever married you? Well, I almost got married once to a guy named Scott. We were together for six and a half years. Damn, just shy of common-law. Yeah, actually. He was the only guy I ever lived with. So now he has three kids, beautiful kids, with another woman, an old co-worker of mine, actually. That sucks. You know what? Don't worry about it, 'cause you're super-successful, and you have sweet-ass legs. Thank you, I think. I had one good boyfriend before Carl. Really? Donny Landis. We used to work at Blimpie together when we were 16, and sit and eat pickles in the back. He waited a whole month before he touched my boobs. Then he went to the University of Scranton, and I never heard from him again. He was my Justin Timberlake. Angie, you can still have a totally different life. You're a very smart person. Thanks.

I suggest you to get him into a tae kwon do summer camp Chantilly, VAas martial arts is a first step in self defense. They teach you about Kick boxing, tai chi etc. Once he get's to know the basics, the rest will come to him naturally.
I agree about this theory. I've thought about this type of defense as well. And scared myself with some sick stuff I've thought about saying and doing if imagined situations arised.
I think awareness is very important, and the ability to escape/evade/dissolve situation, and the confidence to defend yourself with whatever means you have if the situation goes that way.

The sick bastards in the military taught me that someone who is gonna try to kick your ass normally won't tell you, loses the eliment of surprise.
If you have to defende yourself the best thing to do is attach yourself to a part of the combatants body they fear getting hurt (arm, legs genetals etc) and hurt it as much as you can.
Under control is a persons best defense. lose your cool, lose your focus, lose the fight is what i was taught.

That's the essence of it, for sure. The rest is just the "how to".
Principles of Personal Defense by Jeff Cooper is a must read.
Yeah, that's a good one.
To anyone just joining the thread, ALERTNESS is key. You can win the situation without ever having to fight or run simply by being ALERT and picking your battles.
If you go looking for trouble, you become a crusader. That's on you. Good luck with that, I mean it.
I'm a unfortunate bastard who can't run...physically. So when ALERTNESS fails me (which it hasn't yet - even won me a fight without fighting once already!), I'm stuck having to talk or fight. It's ALERTNESS that prevents an ambush.
Only once had to "fight" - felt a guy try to pickpocket me once in Baltimore and I elbowed him - he ran.
If you want to learn how to fight, go for it. Even beyond getting out of sticky situations there's lots of benefits. Just don't use it as an excuse to get yourself stuck in somewhere.
TIP - stay out of ground fighting based schools/drills, at least in the beginning. You'll get a lot more out of it if you learn how to stay up on your feet and get used to jamming parts of your body places (like knees to groins) than on something that works well in a ring. Once you're good at that, by all means expand your tool kit.
Fitness is also very useful, obviously. Yeah, training can help you overcome the bigger, stronger guy but if you can't even move yourself well you're kind of boned.
Anyways, felt like it needed to be reiterated; it's easy to get harsh on the "stick up for yourself" camp of self-defense. Often the more interesting bits (the fighting bits) get all the attention and it gives off the impression that we're just thugs in disguise.
On that subject, I've recently gotten into "comparative martial arts". There's lots of ways to thwack someone with something -
styles/schools/etc are just the "what to drill" to do the most effective thwacking possible, reliably (that's the key - Practice ONE kick 10,000 times, instead of 10,000 kicks once and all that). I've lately been picking through combatives manuals to get a feel for how a given military organization at a certain time went about cataloging their methods. These are easy places to start.
I've recently picked up a book on Xingyi Quan, which is a nifty school that took Chinese spear fighting drills and turned it into a fist method so that troops who already knew individual spear combatives could quickly learn hand to hand (for increased confidence and having a backup for when the spear is not at hand). What's cool is it eventually came full circle and the Chinese Republican Army taught it to their officers as a foundation for hand to hand, bayonet and sabre. Sometimes, I'm a nerd.
For decent self defence, you need to of studied most Martial Arts for sometime and be well trained in them (and I say this as a 1st Dan in Kempo Ju Jitsu (combat jitsu) and Kempo Karate.)
But for the quickest way to make yourself confident and hold your own in a fight (please note you could still get your arse handed to you by a decent fighter) is to do something like Western Boxing, Thai Boxing or Muay Thai.
All three styles will quickly teach someone to throw a proper punch (and knee and Elbow) have a guard and move about comfortably.
This is the British version Monty Python - Self-Defense Against Fruit - YouTube
Man seeks to change the foods available in nature to suit his tastes, thereby putting an end to the very essence of life contained in them.
Any martial art that has sparring against a fully resisting opponent is good. So that means boxing, judo, wrestling, BJJ, etc. The rest is potentially worse than useless, since it might (God forbid) give you the delusion that you're a legit badass. It's full contact or it's just LARP...

Staying fit and healthy is extremely easy once you will learn and start implementing these five ultimate health tips in your everyday life. A lot of people find that it is extremely difficult for them to keep fit and to stay healthy. However, if you just choose to follow these five very simple tips, this will become increasingly easier for you to, and you will be able to stay fit and healthy without too much effort. So, here is what you need to know.
1. Drink Plenty Of Water
The first thing I would like to give you is to drink plenty of water. Often when we are hungry, we are actually just thirsty, but there are so many people don't know how to distinguish between the two necessities. If you haven't been drinking plenty of water, your body will struggle to keep all the water within itself and you will feel bloated due to water retention. Drinking plenty of water will also make your skin prettier and it will influence the functioning of your entire metabolism and organism.
2. Make Healthy Decisions
What is really important if you want to stay healthy it's to make healthy decisions on a daily basis. What that means is when you choose between eating a hamburger and a healthy meal that you constantly make a healthy choice. This is not easy and it's requires a lot of mental stamina, but it is the essence of what makes a healthy lifestyle. In other words, you will lose weight if you go on a fad diet, you will gain muscle if you practice in a gym for a month, but if you don't know how to keep it, if you are able to constantly make a healthy choice and a healthy decision in your life you will soon go back to the way you were.
3. Find Friends Who Lead Healthy Lifestyles
It is important to find someone will support your lifestyle. In addition to that, it is a lot easier to stay healthy and to be devoted to a healthy lifestyle if you have someone will live in the same way. In other words, if you go out for dinner it will be a lot easier for you to eat a healthy meal opposite to someone who is also leading a healthy meal, rather than someone who enjoys food you are not allowed to eat.
4. Enjoy Outdoor Activities
Outdoor activities are not just there to keep you fit and healthy, but they are also incredibly fun. If you want to keep yourself fit and healthy my advice to you would be to enjoy yourself in outdoor activities. That being said I should also mention that there are so many outdoor activities you can enjoy, so it is a delight to choose from.
5. Eat Right
You have be able to eat right. The number one thing you should remember is to control yourself when you are shopping. If you don't buy unhealthy food while you are shopping, you will not be able to read them later on. Constantly make a healthy choice, it is what is the most important thing!

Now comes my favorite and most mind-bending time of year, holiday game releases! Well, as many gamers may know, there is always an abundance of great games out there, but many people either don't have the time or money(especially with how tight on cash everyone is) to enjoy multiple games during the holiday season. Here I come to save the day!! Although I also do not have an unlimited supply of time or money, I have chosen a select few holiday titles that I think would keep any gamer happy throughout the winter season.
First things first, XBOX 360, I don't own a 360 anymore, but if I did it would be a no-brainer. Gears of War 2 not only boasts some of the best graphics to appear on any console, but a rich campaign with lots of achievements to collect. Let's not forget that this is the reason to have XBOX Live, this game can have you driving your chainsaw into the Locust Horde into the wee hours of the morning if you're not careful!
Next, PS3, this is a system where I am torn; with so many titles to choose from. I will give three recommendations, first is Fallout 3. For those of you who enjoy free-roaming RPG's, this is your game. With all sorts of weapon and character customization, this game can keep your hands full for a long time. Next is LittleBigPlanet, perfect for either the hardcore gamer or the casual gamer. Again, customization is the huge draw here with the ability to create and share your created levels throughout the PSN community. Last but not least, Resistance 2. This game ups the ante on the first PS3 hit Resistance: Fall of Man. With online games up to 60 players, and a co-op campaign, this is a beautiful shooter to get your hands on this Holiday season.
Finally, for the Nintendo DS, Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. This is the answer the SOTN fans have been looking for. Introducing the new "Glyph" attack system, this game will keep anyone busy for 20-30 hours of gameplay. One of the best entries in the Castlevania series.
That sums it up folks, Eggsbennydict's holiday game picks, if you have comments on your favorite holiday games, please feel free to do so as I am also looking for outside influences on what games to buy this season.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- James Posey got a good look, and the Miami Heat earned a big win.
Posey hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer Saturday night to give the Heat a 98-97 win over the Memphis Grizzlies.
Trailing 97-95, Miami controlled a jump ball with 1.8 seconds left and called timeout to set up the final play. Jason Williams threw the ensuing inbounds pass to Posey on the left baseline, and he launched a shot from 26 feet over the outstretched arms of Mike Miller for the game-winner.
"J-Will made all the reads for the play, and when I got it, I had a good look," Posey said. "I got a great look. I could see the basket. The only thing I was really worried about was my feet being inbounds."
Officials reviewed the play before ruling it good both from outside the arc and before time ran out.
Miller, who lunged at Posey as he got off the shot, said there wasn't much more he could do.
"It's pretty self-explanatory really. He made a tough shot," Miller said. "I really don't even know if he looked at the winning shot."
Dwyane Wade led the Heat with 23 points, including 12 in the fourth.
Antoine Walker scored 18 points, while Williams added 13 points and 14 assists.
Miller had 22 to lead Memphis, while Rudy Gay added 20, including a pair of free throws in the final 22 seconds to give Memphis a 97-95 lead and set the stage for the last-second shot.
It made for a different ending than Miami's previous two setbacks, where the Heat lost by three points to Orlando and two points on Thursday against the Detroit Pistons.
"It was just a matter of time," Wade said. "You have to give these guys credit for sticking with it. When things looked bad, we still kept sticking with it. That kind of game can change a season."
Both teams were playing without their all-stars big men. Miami's Shaquille O'Neal is recovering from right knee injury, while the Grizzlies' Pau Gasol has not seen action this season, after off-season left foot surgery from an injury suffered in the world games.
Williams, who has been slowed by off-season knee surgery, was called on to play a season-high 38 minutes because of foul trouble for Wade. He was making only his third start of the season.
The Heat took a 57-48 halftime lead thanks to a hot-shooting first half. Midway through the second quarter, Miami held a 49-27 lead and was shooting 68 percent from the field. Williams had 13 assists out of Miami's first 19 field goals.
Hakim Warrick helped close the gap in the second quarter, as he scored 15 points in the first half.
"We gave ourselves a chance in the second half by minimizing turnovers, and we had a much better defensive effort," Memphis coach Mike Fratello said. "They were shooting over 60 percent in the first half, so to get it down to 51 percent at the end of the game, we must have done something good."
That defense contributed to the Heat hitting only 4-of-18 field goals in the final quarter, including Posey's game-winner.
"It just burns, period," Grizzlies guard Dahntay Jones said of the last-second loss.
- Saturday was Dorell Wright's 21st birthday. The Heat swingman, in his second year out of South Kent Prep, is the youngest player on the Miami roster. He started his fifth game of the season and finished with 14 points.
- Williams played in Memphis from 2001-2005. His 14 assists without a turnover was the best performance by a Miami player since Tim Hardaway had 13 assists without a turnover in 1997.
- Heat C Alonzo Mourning had seven blocks, a season-high for a Memphis opponent, including five rejections in the third quarter.
- Miami G Gary Payton did not play because of a left ear infection.
- Memphis G Dahntay Jones, who started for the first time this seas on, scored 12 points, marking his third consecutive game in double figures.

NEW YORK -- Enhancing workplace safety and health for Guatemalan and other Hispanic workers in New York and New Jersey is the goal of a newly-signed alliance between the U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Consulate General of Guatemala in New York City.
OSHA and the consulate, along with other faith-based and community organizations, will work with the local Hispanic community in New York and New Jersey to increase safety and health awareness. This will include jointly developing and delivering training and education programs to non-English or limited-English speaking employees and employers.
The training, to be provided in Spanish, will focus on reducing workers' exposures to fall, electrical, amputation and other hazards. It will include delivery in Spanish of OSHA's 10- and 30-hour courses on general and construction industry safety.
"Working with the mobile consulate and in other venues, we will provide Guatemalan and other Hispanic workers with training and information that will help them identify and protect themselves against common and deadly workplace hazards," said OSHA Regional Administrator Patricia K. Clark.
The alliance will encourage bi-lingual individuals to take OSHA's Train-the-Trainer courses so they can qualify to teach the OSHA 10- and 30-hour courses in Spanish. In addition, the consulate's constituency will be encouraged to develop relationships with OSHA offices regarding safety and health issues and to participate in OSHA's cooperative programs.
"By training Spanish speakers to train other Spanish-speaking workers about workplace safety and health we hope to greatly increase the number of workers equipped with the most valuable tool of all -- knowledge," said OSHA's Regional Hispanic Coordinator Diana Cortez.
The alliance was signed Oct. 13 at the Consulate General of Guatemala in New York City. Signatories were Clark; Cortez; and Rosa Maria Merida de Mora, ambassador, consul general of Guatemala.
OSHA health and safety alliances are part of U.S. Labor Secretary Elaine L. Chao's ongoing efforts to improve the health and safety of workers through cooperative partnerships. OSHA has created more than 325 alliances with organizations committed to fostering safety and health in the workplace. Additional information about this alliance and OSHA's Hispanic outreach activities in the New York region can be obtained by calling OSHA's Tarrytown area office at (914) 524-7510.
Employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace for their employees. OSHA's role is to assure the safety and health of America's workers by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual improvement in workplace safety and health.

I bought some yummy medjool dates for my carb refeed. I cut two in half, wrapped each half in bacon, and baked them as a treat for my (non-primal) boyfriend. Afterwards he is acting like he's in sugar shock from them, so I suggested I take his blood sugar with my glucose meter. NO NEEDLES, NO WAY, NEVER!
So what did he do? Ran to the refrigerator and poured himself a glass of code red. Um, hello?

What does xbox have to do with wii anyways, with xbox you had to ftp to play ripped games.
Funny you didn't mention anything about the DVDs...
@edit: Perhaps the reason you need to change the direction of the motor is because you're flashing it with non-standard firmware? Firmware could control which way the motor is spinning. If it spun in reverse, and you were using non-standard firmware, you wouldn't need to rotate the motor.
"spinning the motor 180 degrees, or swapping the traces, is all to make the 8164 look like the 8163 to the firmware."

Also found this on another xbox hacking site:
"It doesn't spin backward, how would it play DVD's? The motor hack is on the TRAY motor, which is reversed between the XBOX vs retail Samsung units. Layer 1 of a DVD can be read two different ways, OTP (opposite track path) and PTP (parallel track path), discs are pressed one way or the other. OTP is typical for Video DVD as the head doesn't have to seek at the layer transition, the head starts at the inner edge, moves to the outer edge, transistions layer, and then moves back to the inner edge. The drive motor does not change direction."
Do you guys realize what youre fighting over?
You need a permit or license to obtain a disk with enough space to hold a game like that.

Guest Voice of Deandre Williams: Haiti trips bolsters my commitment to education
I was pleased to be offered an opportunity to travel abroad with Morehouse College for an alternative spring break to Haiti. Gaining entry into this program is very competitive. There were 60 applicants, including students from Spelman College, and only 18 spots. I felt honored to be selected as a participant.
My mission in going to Haiti was to be a resource. My desire was to share my knowledge, work ethic, experiences and training with those accompanying me on the trip. I also wanted to broaden my horizons.
Furthering my experiential education outside of an American context expanded my worldview on a number of topics, especially the one that is my passion: equal access to quality education for children. Additionally, my mission was to conduct research for Morehouse's 2014 Expo. This year's theme was "Global Education" and I presented research on poverty and how it contributes to educational failure. Our conclusions are based on comprehensive review of scholarly educational journal articles, my work with the United Negro College Fund on education reform, and my participation in an education-based community service initiative in Haiti.
It is unfortunate that, aside from its long-standing impoverished state, Haiti is best known for the earthquake that shook the land and its people in January 2010. Moreover, it is distressing to know the nation's poverty levels exceeded 80 percent following one of the most devastating natural disasters in the last decade. The earthquake and its aftermath further strained an already fragile education system that endured years of mismanagement, overcrowded and dilapidated facilities and a limited pool of qualified teachers.
After I arrived in Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti, my confidence in what we 18 students from Atlanta could offer an undeveloped society was altered. The capital of Haiti was unreal -- dusty and dirty.
While in Haiti, I learned that the education programs developed for Haitians after the earthquake not only teach, but also serve as an avenue to the food, housing, employment, health and transportation needs of the country.
A Haitian man stated: "How can we worry about education when we are trying to survive?" Communities plagued with poverty, stereotypes and lack of education need to be rebuilt -- both physically and socially -- in Haiti. Given the opportunity and resources, I believe these same communities could produce successful individuals who can, in turn, nurture the potential of its residents. We, as a people, can help lay the groundwork for the futures of these communities in Haiti and also here in America.
I also learned that for many Haitians, if not all, it's the little things that count. Haitians are rich in spirit, love and happiness. Where I saw disaster, they see hope. When I wanted to cry, they smiled. My American values overshadowed Haitian realities. In their reality, they were content and diligent and life was opulent. In my view, they were suffering.
As we did our volunteer service, however, I separated my American values to better understand my newfound environment and that of my new brothers and sisters in Haiti. The service we did spoke volumes. We planted trees, painted houses, moved rocks and so forth. We raised more than $1,000 to donate to an orphanage that housed more than 220 people. The money went to generators for the village people and the school that once lacked light and heat.
One of the most humbling experiences was discovering the children's passion to learn. While I was mingling in the village with children filled with exultant minds and good morale, I was troubled by the loose bamboo sticks that shelter their school/church and their classrooms that lack desks or blackboards. They have no textbooks; paper, pens and pencils did not exist. Their resources are so limited.
Many of the older students, ages 8 and up, must travel down Trou- Baguette -- a mountain that took us college students four hours to climb up and four hours to climb down. That's unbelievable, yet these children do it every day for a meager education.
At Morehouse College, I became socially aware of my roles and responsibilities in this pluralistic society we share as people. Haiti was a life lesson. It fueled my drive to continue fighting for social change and empowerment.
As a budding sociologist and equal education advocate, I accepted my calling in educating and mentoring. After Morehouse College, I will go on to earn a master's in guidance and counseling in the K-12 education system.
While working as a high school counselor, I plan to go back to school and earn another master's in advocacy, leadership and policy so I can begin to reshape education policies. I will truly commence my mission of serving and providing for the educational needs of our children -- our future -- across the world.

The Controversial Truth Behind America's Never-Ending War
Fifteen years after the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, America's War on Terror has expanded drastically, and with it, the interpretation of the Authorization to Use Military Force (AUMF), which gave the president the initial power to mobilize US Armed Forces against those responsible. Yet, America is no closer to ending that open-ended war than when it began, and its endless state is prompting serious questions about the legality of the recent initiatives waged against ISIS, and whether safeguards are in place to prevent a single person—President Obama or his successors—from committing America to perpetual warfare.

|Ambrose Bierce

Publication date
The Devil's Dictionary is a satirical dictionary written by American journalist and author Ambrose Bierce. Originally published in 1906 as The Cynic's Word Book, it features Bierce's witty and often ironic spin on many common English words. Retitled in 1911, it has been followed by numerous "unabridged" versions compiled after Bierce's death, which include definitions absent from earlier editions.
Origins and early development[edit]
The Devil's Dictionary began as a serialized column during Bierce's time as a columnist for the San Francisco News Letter, a small weekly financial magazine founded by Frederick Marriott in the late 1850s. Although a serious magazine aimed at businessmen, the News Letter contained a page of informal satirical content titled "The Town Crier". Bierce, hired as the "Crier"'s editor in December 1868, wrote satire with such irreverence and lack of inhibition he was nicknamed "the laughing devil of San Francisco".[citation needed]
Bierce resigned from "The Town Crier"[when?] and spent three years in London. Returning to San Francisco in 1875, he made two submissions to the News Letter in hopes of regaining his old position. Both were written under aliases. One, entitled "The Demon's Dictionary", contained Bierce's definitions for 48 words. Later forgotten in his compiling of The Devil's Dictionary, they were added almost a century later to an Enlarged Devil's Dictionary published in 1967.[citation needed]
Though Bierce's preface to The Devil's Dictionary dates the earliest work to 1881, its origins can be traced to August 1869. Short of material and recently possessed of a Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, he suggested writing a "comic dictionary" for the "Town Crier". To a quote from Webster's entry for "Vicegerents", "Kings are sometimes called God's vicegerents", he added the italicized rejoinder, "It is to be wished they would always deserve the appellation," then suggested Webster might have used his talent to comic effect.
Comic definitions were not a regular feature of Bierce's next column ("Prattle", in the magazine The Argonaut, of which he became an editor in March 1877). Nevertheless, he included comic definitions in his columns dated November 17, 1877 and September 14, 1878.
It was in early 1881 that Bierce first used the title, The Devil's Dictionary, while editor-in-chief of another weekly San Francisco magazine, The Wasp. The "dictionary" proved popular, and during his time in this post (1881–86) Bierce included 88 installments, each comprising 15–20 new definitions.
In 1887, Bierce became an editor of The San Francisco Examiner and introduced "The Cynic's Dictionary". This was to be the last of his "dictionary" columns until 1904, and it continued irregularly until July 1906. A number of the definitions are accompanied by satiric verses, many of which are signed with comic pseudonyms such as "Salder Bupp", "Orm Pludge", and "Father Gassalasca Jape, S.J.".
What had started as a newspaper serialization was first reproduced in book form in 1906, under the title The Cynic's Word Book. Published by Doubleday, Page and Company, this book contained definitions of 500 words in the first half of the alphabet (A–L). A further 500 words (M–Z) were published in 1911, in Volume 7 of The Collected Works of Ambrose Bierce, this time under the title The Devil's Dictionary. Bierce preferred the latter title, and he claimed the earlier, "more reverent" title had been forced upon him by the religious scruples of his previous employer.[citation needed]
In 1967, an expanded version, titled The Enlarged Devil's Dictionary, was published following extensive research by Ernest J. Hopkins.[1] This version included the definitions which Bierce had left out when compiling his Collected Works, because he was compiling the book in Washington, D.C., while many of the entries were in San Francisco and unavailable following the earthquake of 1906. This updated, 1967 version adds 851 definitions to the 1,000 which had appeared in versions published during Bierce's lifetime; in particular, the 1967 version includes the words preceding "Abasement", which were originally defined in the Demon's Dictionary. The Enlarged Devil's Dictionary is in print in the Penguin Classics series.[2]
Various editions are currently in print, such as Hopkins' aforementioned The Enlarged Devil's Dictionary, The Devil's Dictionary (1999) published by Oxford University Press,[3] and The Unbridged Devil's Dictionary (2000) compiled by S. T. Joshi and David E. Schultz, which includes previously uncollected, unpublished, and alternative entries, restores definitions dropped from previous editions, and removes almost 200 definitions wrongly attributed to Bierce.[4] The Devil's Dictionary is also available online through Project Gutenberg as well as through Wiktionary.
- Conservative
- (n.) A statesman who is enamoured of existing evils, as distinguished from the Liberal, who wishes to replace them with others.[5]
- Cynic
- (n.) A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be. Hence the custom among the Scythians of plucking out a cynic's eyes to improve his vision.[6]
- Egotist
- (n.) A person of low taste, more interested in himself than in me.
- Faith
- (n.) Belief without evidence in what is told by one who speaks without knowledge, of things without parallel.
- Lawyer
- (n.) One skilled in circumvention of the law.[7]
- Marriage
- (n.) A household consisting of a master, a mistress, and two slaves, making in all, two.
- Religion
- (n.) A daughter of Hope and Fear, explaining to Ignorance the nature of the Unknowable.
- Youth
- (n.) The Period of Possibility, when Archimedes finds a fulcrum, Cassandra has a following and seven cities compete for the honor of endowing a living Homer.
Youth is the true Saturnian Reign, the Golden Age on earth again, when figs are grown on thistles, and pigs betailed with whistles and, wearing silken bristles, live ever in clover, and cows fly over, delivering milk at every door, and Justice is never heard to snore, and every assassin is made a ghost and, howling, is cast into Baltimost! —Polydore Smith[8]
Under the entry "leonine", meaning a single line of poetry with an internal rhyming scheme, Bierce included an apocryphal couplet written by the fictitious "Bella Peeler Silcox" (i.e. Ella Wheeler Wilcox) in which an internal rhyme is achieved in both lines only by mispronouncing the rhyming words:
The electric light invades the dunnest deep of Hades.
Cries Pluto, 'twixt his snores: "O tempora! O mores!"

Conor Oberst brings intensity to Pabst Theater
Describing the voice of Conor Oberst, many people have used the word "quaver," even after the indie singer-songwriter toned down the teenage trembling, as a 34-year-old man should.
At the Pabst Theater Saturday night, however, the word remained suitable for Oberst's live concert. His very body seemed to vibrate as if his nervous system was dosing his skin with extra voltage: Not enough to convulse him; enough to generate a low hum of surplus energy beneath his performance. »Read Full Article

On behalf of JONAH and for the following reasons, we found Naomi Marks' letter to the editor ("No Quick Fix For Gays," Sept. 17), arguing against the credibility of JONAH's programs, to be totally disingenuous.
Hundreds of men and women have successfully changed sexual orientation through JONAH and other programs. It is important to note that JONAH only works with those whose same-sex sexual attractions are "unwanted." Those who prefer to accept their same-sex sexual attraction certainly retain their freedom of choice to live life as they choose.
The canard that such counseling is ineffective and often harmful is rebutted by a 2009 peer-reviewed study in the Journal of Human Sexuality that assembled over 600 studies from the scientific literature to directly refute unsubstantiated claims like those of Mark. "What Research Shows" cites documented research that sexual orientation is not immutable, that psychological care for individuals with unwanted homosexual attractions is beneficial and that such therapies pose no significant risk of harm.
It is unconscionable for Mark to characterize the in-depth counseling undertaken by these men and women as a "quick fix." She should understand that no form of counseling can be characterized as a "quick fix."
