This poses a fire hazard.CPSC and Proctor-Silex have received at least 24 complaints from consumers of these toasters staying on after the toast popped up. There have been three reports of food fires, resulting in property damage to kitchen cabinets. No injuries have been reported.These are traditional upright electric toasters with single lifters and four extra-wide slots that can accommodate bread or bagels. The toasters with model number 24205 are white, and toasters with model number 24208 are black and chrome. The model number, series code, UL logo and "MADE IN CHINA" are printed on the bottom of the toaster. The recall includes only toasters with series codes A0379 through A3279 or series code A2589 through A3289. The name "Proctor-Silex" is written in gray lettering on the front panel of the toaster. A control dial, labeled in units from "1" to "6" for adjusting the degree of toasting, and a bread lifter for raising and lowering the food are located on the front of the toaster. Mass merchandise stores nationwide, including Ames, Bradlees, Burdines, Eckerd, Rite Aid, Servistar and Walgreens, sold these toasters from April 1997 through September 1999 for between $20 and $25.Consumers should immediately unplug and stop using these toasters.

Marbury is 100% right. Their styles clash, and always will.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
There we have it. Marbury thinks the playstyle of the two are too different. I'm starting to question the current Knicks lineup. Even Clyde commented that STAT should come off the bench and we have seen how much Melo thrived when he temporarily played under PF position before the end of this season. Even people like Phil Jackson said that the current Knicks lineup will not work unless something changes drastically with Melo and STAT.NEW YORK -- Count ex-New York Knick Stephon Marbury among those who don't think current Knicks stars Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire are a good fit together.
"Amare needs a point guard like Steve Nash (to thrive). He's a pick-and-roll guy, a pick-and-pop guy. He can't play in the half court where everything's slowed down," Marbury told ESPN New York during a brief interview in Manhattan on Wednesday.
When asked if he thought Anthony and Stoudemire could flourish together, Marbury said flatly, "Nope."
Many have expressed the same concerns with the Knicks' star duo. In their season and a half together, the Knicks have a sub-.500 record when both are in the starting lineup.
But Marbury brings a unique perspective to the debate. He played with Stoudemire in Phoenix during the 2002-03 season and for 34 games the next season before Marbury was dealt to the Knicks. He also spent five mostly rocky years with the Knicks.
In addition to his thoughts on Stoudemire, Marbury also questioned the Knicks' motivation in obtaining Anthony. New York executed a three-team blockbuster deal to bring Anthony in from Denver in February 2011.
"I don't know if (Knicks owner James) Dolan brought him in to win games or to make money," Marbury said. "I think it was to make money."
Marbury, though, says Anthony is the Knicks' best player and the team should be built around his strengths. Anthony is a skilled passer but also thrives in isolation.
This style clashed at times with ex-Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni's up-tempo system. Current Knicks coach Mike Woodson seemed more comfortable putting the ball in Anthony's hands in the low and mid-post and letting him operate in isolation after he took over in late March.
"You knew what he was when you got him," Marbury said of Anthony. "Let him do what he does."
Marbury is 3½ years removed from his controversial tenure in New York. The Brooklyn native came home in a trade midway through the 2003-04 season and led the Knicks to the playoffs that season. But losing seasons and clashes with management, coaches and teammates followed. He and the team agreed to a buyout in the 2008-09 season.
As a Coney Island native, though, Marbury said he still remains a Knicks fan and will always root for the team.
"I think they have a good team," Marbury said. "They could make the second round (of the playoffs)."
Marbury currently plays for the Beijing Ducks in the Chinese Basketball Association. He led the team to a championship last season and is heading back to China this week.
Let's look at our team offensively. As Marbury said, Amare has trouble playing the non PnR game, Chandler can't really play offense, Shump is really good at getting to the rim but he needs more experience to finish, and with Lin gone, our offense really relies on Melo pretty much. If Melo becomes reluctant to teamball, our offense is really dead. We really need someone with good offense game to take over Amare's spot. He can come in as the 6th man to the Knicks.
I guess only next season will tell if we're doomed or not.
Favorite Team: Knicks
Favorite Player: D. Rose
Favorite Position: PG
Marbury is 100% right. Their styles clash, and always will.
Marbury and Clyde know the deal...we're gonna have to see what Stat does the 1st month of the season and make a move from there. If he plays like Amerie instead of Amare, its time to move him to the bench or trade him for an expiring
I'd love for Amare to accept coming off the bench... doubt that'll ever happen tho
The time to judge if Stat&Melo can really work together is now
1st season- Melo was traded to the knicks in the middle of the season
2nd season- NBA Lockout / shortened season- full of injuries, rocky start, new lineups every other night, new coach, family deaths etc etc
3rd season- All the excuses should be out the window this season, the team is having a pre-training camp, a regular training camp and a full 82 game season, and a good coach, if they cant make it work this time around then the combo was destined to fail IMO that's how i view it.
"I don't know if (Knicks owner James) Dolan brought him in to win games or to make money," Marbury said. "I think it was to make money."
Damn! I hate to admit Marbury comment makes for good cents ....
The Melo-trade may have gross Dolan billions, but it did nothing for the Knicks team winning percentage .. especially when the cause/effect of the trade have a Knicks commentator mention bring the $100M player off the bench.
Anyone want to do the math?
PF-Kenyon Martin before Melo average to be a 3rd round postseason player.
PF-Amare Stoudemire before Melo average to be a 2nd round postseason player.
Allen Iverson before Melo average to be a 2nd round postseason player.
Just because Steph and Clyde said it doesnt make it true... just be patient guys. If this year they still look like trash then yeah the entire project should be scrapped BUT just wait and see what Felton and Kidd do. They are the difference and the key.
Steph giving an opinion about meshing w/ Teamates is like George Bush giving his opinion on how Obam'a economic plan is not going to work
He's bitter about not still being a Knick and will take shots at is every chance he gets
He's nothing more than another Charles Barkley the fact that some of you still support him but hate Isiah is dellusional!!!
Hall of Fame talent that blew it and we have become his favorite scapegoat!!!
He once said Curry and Randolph are unstoppable but Melo and Stat won't work!!!
Dude is a clown!!!
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
Like the article said Melo has skills that Woody can take advantage of, I honestly think his passing skills are the best on the team and that includes Kidd. And Amare has been working on becoming more than the PnR PF with a decent mid-range game, can't wait to see those Dream moves in the low block this year.
2-max-marbury thinks he's Kobe good. but i digress.
Melo and STAT have a lot to prove this year. Marbury is just a fan at this point.
Change for the sake of change is dumb
Remember when Ewing was injured and The Knicks ran a more up-tempo offense with him out and people (probably some posters here) started saying we were better without Pat because he slowed us down?
This claim to move Melo to the 4 permenantly and Stat to the bench is similar to that way of thinking
Melo at the 4 is like Amare at the 5....short term looks good but not a long term solution

Politics of destructionFebruary 23,2013
Watching the newest budget crisis unfold is like watching two cars on a collision course. We can scream and wave our arms, but the drivers appear not to be looking at us.
The latest crisis is known by the term sequestration. It will bring about severe, automatic, across-the-board cuts in domestic and defense spending unless Congress and the president agree on an alternative by March 1. The cuts amount to about $83 billion.
The collision course metaphor is not precisely accurate, however. President Obama has offered up a compromise, steering his car away from the collision, but Republicans in Congress continue to reject compromise involving any form of tax increase, steering their car back into his path.
Obama is in a good position to paint Republicans as the destroyers of many things good. When Meals on Wheels are unable to roll, he can point out that the suffering of hungry seniors is a consequence of Republican budget cuts. When the armed forces are hobbled by the layoffs of civilian support personnel, voters will know it is Republican obstruction that prevented passage of a budget agreement. When kids Head Start programs are shut down, when National Parks are closed, when air traffic is slowed, Republicans are likely to get the blame.
Obama deserves some of the blame as well. These automatic cuts were the idea of his administration, which believed the cuts would present Congress with an alternative so nasty that members would be forced to come to a budget agreement. But it appears Republican hostility to government is so extreme, they would rather slash and burn essential programs than close loopholes benefiting wealthy Americans.
The political danger for Obama is that, even if Republicans cause an economic slowdown, voters will hold Obama responsible for the overall performance of the economy. It appears Republicans are practicing the policy they tried during Obamas first term: wreck the economy so voters will blame the president. They are trying this even though the election results suggest voters have concluded it was the Republicans who brought us the recession and who tried to stand in the way of recovery.
Maybe there is a lesson to be learned by this crisis. If cuts hinder the government in carrying out vital work, then maybe it will become evident to the American people that the term government spending does not amount to dirty words. Government spending keeps the Vermont Air National Guard flying, keeps the Green Mountain National Forest protected, keeps meals rolling to house-bound seniors, keeps research under way into cancer and other illnesses, keeps money flowing to numerous agencies that protect the health and welfare of people across the country.
Government spending is also a huge segment of the economy. Central Vermont, where state government is the largest employer, depends on government spending. Central Vermont Medical Center, one of the largest employers, depends on government spending. Republicans-induced spending cuts promise to put a stick in the spokes of the economy, causing layoffs, slowing growth, and creating new demand for government services. It is the politics of destruction.
As this crisis approaches, Obama is said to be feeling confident that he has the American people on his side. His popularity is up and that of Congress is down. In the eyes of those who voted for him, his victory in November was a historic turning point, a rejection of the obstructionism of the Republicans and their reactionary anti-government program.
In the eyes of Obamas opponents, however, the election appears not to matter. They seem to have concluded that they have no alternative but to follow their favored policies to their logical conclusions, which is to resist new taxes, even at the cost of ruining the economy.
Ultimately, the voters will be able to pass judgment on the outcome of this collision of wills. Depending on how things turn out, Obama may be seen as blinded by arrogance or he may demonstrate a new steadiness of nerve as he steers the nation through another manufactured crisis.MORE IN EditorialsProtesters converged on a bank in Montpelier early this week to show their solidarity with the...

Curtain calls, concerts and cowgirls
One of the judges, country crooner Ryan Broshear, entertained after the competition and boy howdy, this guy blew the roof off the place with (IMHO) amazing vocal prowess and an incredible stage presence more electrifying than the weather. Although I was previously unaware of Broshear, I will be following his career now (www.ryanbroshear.com) and I suspect that it's only a matter of time before he hits the main stage at Bethel Woods, making the ladies swoon and grown men cry. I've been wrong before (on occasion), but mark my words—this guy is gonna be huge.
Another sure sign that summer is here is opening night at Bethel Woods (www.bethelwoodscenter.org), which occurred last Saturday with another attraction that has escaped my attention up to this point—"Celtic Woman." More than a musical act, this show is a production of epic proportions. Conceived and assembled by Sharon Browne and David Downes (a former musical director of the Irish stage show "Riverdance"), the extravaganza has embarked on their 2013 tour and has sold millions of albums worldwide. While I enjoyed the spectacle, I was surprisingly unmoved.
The women are gorgeous, and the lighting and staging absolutely sumptuous. Pitch-perfect harmonies, combined with flawless choreography and a talented ensemble filling the stage should have been enough to make anyone happy to experience the show, but for some reason, I found the show to be too perfect, too rehearsed and too mechanical for my taste. Over the years, the group's lineup has changed repeatedly, and the website (www.celticwoman.com) says that none of the ladies actually knew each other prior to the show being conceived, which could explain the clinical experience that left me cold. One of the great aspects of Bethel Woods is the diverse roster of entertainment offered each season, so while the ladies might not have won me over, there is a wide variety of shows to come.

|Ray Titus, CEO of United Franchise Group, left, and PBA President William M.B. Fleming, Jr., right, address PBA students during the J.J.'s Entrepreneurs business plan competition informational meeting Nov. 2.
"This is an exciting day," Palm Beach Atlantic University President William M.B. Fleming, Jr. said to an audience of undergraduate and graduate students interested in learning how they can win $10,000 to start their own business. "I'm here to declare you are winners because you are risk-takers with an imagination and a creative spirit."
PBA's J.J.'s Entrepreneurs business plan competition kicked-off its second year with an informational meeting Nov. 2 in MacArthur Hall Room 1292. Fleming, Jared Stresen-Reuter, a PBA graduate and the first recipient of the top prize in the 2012 competition and Ray Titus, CEO of United Franchise Group (UFG), shared details on the business plan contest as well as made available the application packets.
"PBA is proud to partner with UFG for the J.J.'s Entrepreneurs business plan competition for year number two," Fleming said. "It's a proven, successful program that will launch you into an exciting future."
UFG, a $500 million West Palm Beach franchise organization, established a partnership with PBA in 2011 to help student entrepreneurs start their own business ventures by contributing, mentoring and funding. Named J.J.'s Entrepreneurs after J.J. Prendamano, current general manager of UFG, the program was developed to teach students about the benefits of entrepreneurship.
All currently enrolled Palm Beach Atlantic University undergraduate day, evening and graduate students are eligible to enter. A screening committee, made up of local business owners and PBA staff members, will select the top two business plans in March. One business plan team will be awarded $10,000 and a second will receive $5,000 to launch their business ventures.
|Jared Stresen-Reuter, the first recipient of the top prize in the 2012 J.J.'s Entrepreneurs business plan competition, explains Toodol, a social media website.
Initially to Stresen-Reuter, this sounded too good to be true.
"Last year, I was sitting in the third or fourth row at the first information meeting, and I was a little skeptical," Stresen-Reuter said. "As the meeting went on, I realized this was for real and a great opportunity to win $10,000 for my idea."
Stresen-Reuter's winning idea was a social media website, Toodol, launched in September 2012. It allows users to post local events explaining and even showing details about that event in their area. He said just having the experience of working on his proposal from concept to completion made participating worthwhile. He also encouraged students who compete to ask for assistance from PBA professors and UFG.
"The opportunity I had to partner with UFG, having the mentors there, being able to go and ask different questions was invaluable," he said. "I was able to build a career off of an opportunity."
Stresen-Reuter was actually hired by UFG upon graduation in May 2012. Titus said the company does not plan on hiring every winner. However, both he and Prendamano do plan to help each student participating by providing real-life experience and "tell it like it is" advice, which will build solid skills in entrepreneurship.
"Our goal is not to just impact the one or two people who win the award," Titus said. "Our goal is to impact everyone positively."
When asked what UFG is looking for in a business proposal, Titus said it must be a tangible idea.
"We're looking for a good idea; something we can get a return investment on," he said. "It's got to be something we can make successful, together. And, if it makes money, we'll share in that; you at 80 percent and UFG at 20 percent."
Dale Smith, a third-year undergraduate evening student majoring in organizational management in PBA's MacArthur School of Leadership, attended the informational session. He believes he has an idea that can be successful.
"I already have a business idea, which involves helping others," Smith said. "Wining this competition would provide the capital."

The USS Crockett was a Federation starship that was in service with Starfleet in the late 24th century.
In 2370, the Crockett transported Admiral Mitsuya to Deep Space 9. (DS9: "Paradise")
The Star Trek Encyclopedia (2nd ed., p. 471) described this vessel as an Excelsior-class starship, with a registry number of NCC-38995. The Encyclopedia (2nd ed., p. 91) further noted that the vessel was named after Davy Crockett.
The Star Fleet Technical Manual by Franz Joseph featured a listing of an earlier starship, the Hermes-class Crockett with the registry NCC-600. The ship was a MK-VII scout authorized for appropriation on stardate 0965.

Amy Taylor loves Columbus. And she knows she's not alone.
Taylor, a Columbus writer, noted the praise Columbus has received in lists and articles pop up in her social-media feeds. She decided to collect those cool city facts into an infographic that has been making its way around Facebook and Twitter feeds.
The colorful, fact-filled infographic, posted on Taylor's blog at Writehuman.com , points out interesting data, such as how Ohio ranks fourth in craft beer production and Columbus is the third happiest city, according to an evaluation of Instagram photos.
Taylor said she was touched by the overwhelming response to the infographic, but not surprised. Columbus residents are proud of their city and like to celebrate its strengths.
Taylor, a Texas native, is proud to call Columbus her home, too. She hopes to do a series of spotlights on the city.
"There's a real sense that we're all in it together," Taylor wrote by email. "We're not just a city where young people flock to learn and grow but also a place they want to stay and come back to. We support creativity and innovation. We cheer for the underdogs. We're a scrappy bunch who aren't afraid to get our hands dirty."

Alright so this is the first pop punk show I've ever been too. Or actually just first punk/hardcore show in general. So I got there around 4:45 cause the doors were supposed to open around 5. First think I noticed immediately was everyone was nearly our age instead of being like 20 years older than us " Turns out they lied and it opens at 6, oh well, I had pre-sales, so me and my friends went to get some food. There was this local mexican place so we were like fuck it lets go there. When we got there it looked like some of the Wonder Years/other bands(not sure) were there eating. I didn't bother them and we ate and got in line. After like 45 minutes of waiting, they finally opened the doors. I haven't been to the venue before but it was a Christian STRAIGHT EDGE PLACE(SxE FOR LYF BITCHEZ). The place was cool and the people who worked their were even cooler there. The place were the show was is normally a skate park so they moved the ramps aside and everything. It was decently big, but it was hot as fuck!(just in that room too, every where else was cold). I drank a rockstar cause I was tired as fuck and the show started at 6:45. After that i went to take a piss and there was a line for the bathroom. Seemed like most of the people from the Mexican place got the shits Next think I know Soupy bursts in the place and stands waiting. No one said anything but then the kid asked him for a picture. I was just leaving so I took one as well and left. Cool guy, pretty awkward to talk in a bathroom though
After a while the main reason why I was there The Story So Far hit the stage. A lot of people were sitting down(which sucked), but everyone else was ready to go crazy. Me and my friend opened the pit up, but the moment Swords and Pens hit and the vocals came in I launched and jumped over everyone to sing my heart out. I remained like that going crazy throughout, losing my voice after like 3 songs but keep going on anyways. I somehow ended up right in the front and just kept singing constantly. There was a no stage diving rule so I didn't bother. But it was fun as fuck, there is no denying that. It was their first south Florida show and I hope they come back SOON.

Next was a Loss for Words, they we're alright. i didn't dig the vocalist and the music didn't do much, but they did have a fun circle pit. Overall they were okay.
So after them was Transit, unfortunately, that mexican food came back to me and I had to use the restroom, but it was in use by one of the guys from Loss for Words, who was there the WHOLE SET. So I missed Transit, but from what I heard, they sounded great
After was Polar Bear Club, the vocalist was wearing a Descendants shirt which was awesome. They were up beat and sounded good, but the music wasn't punkish enough for me and I just couldn't really go crazy during it. It was good though, no denying.

Next up was the 2nd band I was here for(and the main band for everyone) The Wonder Years. The lights were off and they came out and smashed into Washington Square Park, immediately opening up a pit and having people go crazy. I joined in the madness jumping up and down and running in the crowd to yell the lyrics. When they began Melrose Park I jumped in the pit and scared a few people away after punching so hard my knuckles were sore. I then was in and out for the most part but dominating every circle pit. They sounded great and were a ton of fun. It was great screaming all the lyrics especially Logan Circle and You're not a Salinger. Get Over It. All fun, me and my friend took turns jumping off each others backs to crowd surf(though i did it once and he did it like 2000 times ) Though it was all fun and as close to a hardcore show as I will be getting for a while. Can't wait for a real one though, this was great regardless. Fun, fun, fun show!

Awesome lineup and great review
Really pissed I miss this tour.
Wish I could have seen this; I think I know every lyric TSSF has ever written. Cool review.
And totally not surprised the dude from Transit was wearing a Descendents shirt; they pretty much invented punk for loser guys who have been friendzoned. Like every band on this lineup.

GBS (Group B Streptococcus)
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is the number one cause of life threatening infections, such as sepsis and meningitis, in newborn babies, and is also a frequent cause of newborn pneumonia. GBS infects approximately 8,000 infants in the Unites States each year, kills 2,000 annually, and leaves many others mentally and/or physically handicapped.
The GBS bacteria live in the gastrointestinal system and are found in the vagina or rectum of 15 to 40 percent of healthy, adult women. It's not clear how women become infected with the bacteria and many women never experience any symptoms. However, untreated GBS can cause bladder infections, womb infections, and stillbirth. People with GBS usually carry the bacteria temporarily and do not become lifelong carriers.
Pregnant women are routinely tested for the bacteria late in pregnancy (35-37 weeks). The simple test involves swabbing the vagina and rectum for a sample of cells that are sent to a lab to look for GBS. Samples tested earlier than 35 weeks do not accurately predict whether the mother will have GBS at delivery.
Usually, babies are infected with GBS during delivery when they come into direct contact with the bacteria in the birth canal. However, only one out of every 100 to 200 babies whose mothers carry GBS develops the disease. Premature babies are more susceptible to GBS infection than full-term babies. Most babies who do contract the disease do so in the first hours or week of life, which is referred to as "early-onset disease." The disease may also develop in infants up to several months after birth, called "late-onset disease," although this is rare. Only about 50 percent of late-onset GBS disease among newborns comes from a mother who is a GBS carrier; the source of infection for others with late-onset GBS disease is unknown. Delivering by c-section does not eliminate the risk of infection.
If a pregnant woman is diagnosed as carrying the GBS bacteria in her vagina or rectum, antibiotics should be given to her during labor. Administering antibiotics at the time of diagnosis may reduce the amount of GBS bacteria temporarily, but it will not eliminate it completely and will leave the baby unprotected during birth. However, if the GBS bacteria are present only in a pregnant woman's urine, she should be treated with antibiotics at the time of diagnosis.
Some pregnant women are more likely to having a baby with GBS disease, including those:

The show itself was great. We had seen it about 10 years ago as well. Elvis, Michael Jackson and Jerry Lee Lewis impersonators were exceptional!
Reserved seat locations were abominable - in very rear of theater. Reserve VIP seats only - or...continued

Excellent value for money and a really professional show.
Micheal Jackson and Elvis were spot on , Bette Midler had a great voice but I am sure if the real Bette was that lady's size she would be dieting like crazy...........

Of all the coffee makers on the market, we chose to carry exclusively the Technivorm Moccamaster. As one of only two coffeemakers certified by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCAA), this machine is head and shoulders above the rest. Instead of thin plastic parts and unnecessary electronic gadgetry, the Technivorm KBG-741 is built solidly and has only an on/off switch and a three-position switch to control the flow of coffee into the carafe.
We've tested the other machines out there, and they generally make bitter, flat coffee. The Technivorm KBG-741 will brew your coffee the way it should be brewed, producing a clean, nuanced, and flavorful cup of coffee.
From Cook's Illustrated to Men's Journal, the reviews are consistent, glowing praise. With each machine hand built and tested in the Netherlands, you can be confident that you are making the best coffee possible. To watch Cook's Illustrated test review, elevating the Technivorm over all other coffee makers, click on the image to the right to open a new window.
Is it worth the money?
When we first started selling coffee equipment, we had no plans to carry coffee makers. Too many of them gurgle forth disgusting coffee, are made in China, and proudly feature only one reliable function, which is their time of death, precisely two years after purchase. We've been french press and espresso people for so long that we couldn't imagine a coffee maker making a delicious brew. When we heard of the Technivorm, we knew we had to give it a try. It simply did not disappoint, and now we use it every day at the office. In fact, it brews up four to five carafes a day for us, and doesn't show any signs of wear. It weighs about eight pounds, and the European craftsmanship is evident in the quality components. The Technivorm is an investment in years of coffee drinking pleasure.
Will the carafe keep it hot?
We've found that the Technivorm keeps coffee hot in its carafe for about an hour and a half. If you'd like to keep your coffee hot for longer than that, we recommend some of the other vacuum carafes, such as the striking jugs from Stelton.
Does it really make coffee taste better?
Many coffee brewers on the market have aluminum heating elements, which are prone to metal fatigue and don't get the brew water to the necessary 200 temperature. If your brew water isn't hot enough or the brew cycle is too long, you end up with sour, bitter coffee. The Technivorm's copper heating element heats the water quickly and allows for an optimal brew time of about 7 minutes for a full pot. This results in a sweet and balanced cup of coffee.
Technivorm Brewing Guide
- Model KBG-741
- Color: Polished Silver
- Makes up to 40oz. (10 European cups)
- Quiet brew cycle.
- Copper boiling element with double safety guard.
- Heat exchanger hot plate cycles on and off to save energy and keep the brewed coffee from scorching.
- Cone shaped filter ensures proper extraction.
- Original "Smitdesign" by Technivorm is hand-assembled out of the best materials available in Amerongen, the Netherlands
- Dimensions: 14" high by 6.25" deep, and 12.75" wide.
- Weight: 8 lbs.
- 1475 watts

My main's a female dwarf at the moment and when I resub in a week or so I'll be going male undead...they better not make 'em more kid or girly girl friendly or I'm gonna be pissed. WoW needs a scary (if you're five) race!
My main's a female dwarf at the moment and when I resub in a week or so I'll be going male undead...they better not make 'em more kid or girly girl friendly or I'm gonna be pissed. WoW needs a scary (if you're five) race!
I think people will be ready to complain either way, IMO come models are currently so ugly that anything they do will be considered an improvement (I'm looking at you male nightelves!) But some 'parts' of some existing models bug some people but not others. A lot of people want the bone poking out aspect of undead to disappear, but I've seen counter arguements from people who want it to stay (IMO just add it as an option when creating the character) How hunched over orcs and trolls are could be another aspect up for debate, as could dorf beards.
I think generally the improvements will be great, I doubt I'll complain either way.
Or how they recolored the entire texture, leaving darker Draenei with ugly corroded rings instead of golden ones.really, its no excuse beyond pure laziness. kinda like how female belfs & draenei have the same exact faces with different color skin.
Luckily I know how to edit textures and mess around with MPQ files. :<
Just remember the new druid forms... boy what an outrage that caused.I think people will be ready to complain either way,
Troll males. They've just looked so ridiculous for so long, I can only imagine that the new one will look just as bad, in a prettier way.
I personally fear for female night elves. As they stand now, female night elf animations (both for emotes and idle) are entirely just... Wrong for the proud and stoic race of warriors they are. Coming from WC3 to WoW, it was rather jarring to see these amazons acting like cheerleaders.
I'm not saying that they have to be totally hardline and unwomanly, but at present they have the right look, but some of their movements are just off.
I'm looking at you, cheer animation.
Ultraxion yells: I am the beginning of buttonclickers...the button which blots out my wipe mechanic...the click which tolls my doom...
Ultraxion yells: For this moment ALONE was I made. Look upon your button, mortals, and click!
Female trolls will look the worst imo
Gotta say i cant wait to see what the undead is gonna be like
My Hopes for the Models are the following:
-Orc: Lose their hunch, not all of us are peons, give the females some better faces, overall better head:body ratio than Garrosh, smaller hands too.
-Tauren: Make their Horns not Clip Through helmets in the worst ways
-Troll: Tusks/Ears clipping through Armor annoys me, as does their distaste for shoes, females need more than 1 good face, and eyelids.
-Undead: Please can we have an option for "No Bone"!
-Blood Elf: The males could use some more facial variation, hopefully they won't butcher the female models because of "lolanorexia" comments
-Human: Human males need better faces, Human females need to lose their ginormous hips.
-Dwarf: Female Dwarves need better faces, Male Dwarves need even more beards.
-Night Elf: Night Elves overall need their animations for both male and female changed. Fix male proportions also.
-Gnome: I'm honestly not sure what they can do to make me not hate this model.
-Draenei: Slim down the male's chest, lower the angle of their tail so capes don't look horrid. Also make both male and draenei female tails not just awkwardly wiggle during animations. Draenei females also need to get their own faces, at this point their just blue blood elves

Onde blizz is ready to reveal them, they will be nothing sure of awsome. They will make sure of this and the fact they haven't released anything about it means the're not just ready yet. I know there working on them cause they deserve an upgrade.
I'm very, very afraid for the Forsaken. I hope that they manage to find a nice middle ground between what we have now and an updated model, but in my experience a lot of people don't like the exposed bones (me included). Same thing with the orc's hunch: I'd be happiest if there was an option to enable/disable both of those things.
I really hope that they fix the skeletons of those that need it. I once rolled a female troll, only to log out at lvl 3 and deleting her. It was painful to watch her running animation, and her back is more straight and stiff than a wooden plank.
Pretty much agree with these, although I'm actually expecting some more options given the variety we've seen with the Troll council if they're anything to go by.- That older armour in the game won't look as good on the re-done models.
- That models they don't think they can do much with will only get high rez textures and slightly more polygons rather than a full make over (eg. Forsaken)
- That they'll not support the new models with more variety options. Hair, skin colours/types, faces etc...
tauren females for me...hope they don't change their casting animation...however they need to change how their hands look like
i don't expect drastic changes, i am just looking forward to more various features such as FUCKING TROLL BEARDS
Orc Shaman <3 - Pandaren Monk - Orc Warlock - Pandaren Warrior - Orc Hunter - Blood Elf Demon HunterFrostwolf clan is best clan!
I want to roll a druid... still thinking about it since feral is 4 fite
Anything that will let us have more customization, short skirts, different clothes, new weapon and other item models will please me. I love our old character models, but I'd be fine with letting them update everything pre-Cata, and reverting the Worgen back to their Alpha state.

Corsair Memory on Tuesday released new high-density 4GB memory modules that are capable of operating at 1600MHz. The new modules are designed for workstations based on Intel Core i7/i5 microprocessors with dual-channel or triple-channel memory sub-systems.
The new Corsair Dominator 4GB memory modules that power the 16GB (4x4GB) and 24GB (6x4GB) memory kits can function at 1600MHz clock-speed with CL9 9-9-24 latency settings at 1.65V voltage. The kits feature DHX+ heat-spreading system with airflow fan for efficient cooling. The 16GB set is designed for LGA1156 processors with dual-channel memory controller, whereas the 24GB kit is aimed at extreme LGA1366 microprocessors with triple-channel memory controller.
"We continue to see increasing demand for high density solutions from programmers, scientists, videographers, and other data-intensive users. These new 1600MHz modules will enable a new level of processing speed for handling these large data sets," said John Beekley, vice president of technical marketing at Corsair.
The 16GB and 24GB 1600MHz Dominator DDR3 memory kits are available immediately from the Corsair online store for the whopping price-points of $999 and $1449, respectively.
Corsair is not the first one to launch 1600MHz DDR3 memory modules with 4GB capacity. Early this year Kingston Memory released its 16GB and 24GB memory kits, however, the solutions were even more expensive than the new Dominator sets for workstations.

Sorry, but I just have to ask pp (if you read this) do women in the Asian culture struggle with their supply? This is my first time nursing a toddler and so I'm very interested in how to do it and what people experience in other cultures. How many times a day would you typically nurse an 18 mo. old or a 2 year old? What does that look like in the Asian culture and how do you keep your supply that long? I think it's harder here in America because a lot of us have to work full time. Also, our culture doesn't support breastfeeding into the toddler years.
Sorry to get off track, I'm just interested.

Drug Cost Cutters 10/9/11
"How can I help you?" Pharmacist Linsay Davis hears from many people struggling to pay for prescription drugs. Linsay Davis, "We have found a lot of customers do try to cut corners with their medications." That's in keeping with what Consumer Reports National Research Center found in its latest poll on prescription drugs. "Twenty-eight percent of people who currently take medication said they took potentially dangerous actions to save on drug costs."
Twelve percent skipped a scheduled dose. Thirteen percent took an expired medication. And 16 percent skipped filling a prescription. Orly Avitzur "Not taking your medication as prescribed can lead to unnecessary hospitalizations and even death." The survey also found eight percent split pills in half without consulting a physician. Orly Avitzur "Some types of medication, such as blood-pressure pills and statins, may be okay to split. But chemotherapy or anti-seizure drugs are not. Be sure to always check with your doctor first." Consumer Reports says pills not to split include powder or gel capsules, time-release capsules, and pills with a hard coating. Also, don't split pills with a knife. Instead, use a pill splitter. They're available at pharmacies for under ten dollars."

4 Minute Exercise Machine
I know I should exercise regularly, but I'm congenitally lazy and am ingenious at coming up with excuses. There's an exercise machine that sounds like the end of all excuses, a dream come true. You've probably seen the ads in various magazines. The ROM Machine: "Exercise in Exactly 4 Minutes per Day." It claims that you can get the same benefit, at home, from 4 minutes a day on the ROM as you can from 20 to 45 minutes aerobic exercise plus 45 minutes weight training plus 20 minutes stretching at the gym. It allegedly balances blood sugar and repairs bad backs. It is for everyone from age 10 to over 100.
Does this sound too good to be true? That's usually a clue that it is too good to be true. I was skeptical and I sent in for the company's free DVD. There were more clues in the DVD. They had testimonials from 2 chiropractors, several trainers, and lots of satisfied users, but they didn't have recommendations from a single medical doctor or scientist. In fact, they mentioned a couple of doctors who disputed their claims, including one cardiologist who told his patient that kind of strenuous exercise could kill him. To prove you could get a good workout from the machine, they put people on it, got them to huff and puff and sweat a lot, and then got them to say, "That was a real workout!" (more…)

In his 2002 State of the Union Address, President George W. Bush describes "regimes that sponsor terror" as an Axis of Evil, in which he includes Iraq, Iran and North Korea.
In October 2002, Bush signed a congressional resolution authorizing war against Iraq.
In February 2003, Secretary of State Colin Powell presented evidence to the United Nations Security Council that Iraq had biological weapons and argues in favor of military action. Powell later admitted he had presented what turned out to be an inaccurate case to the UN on Iraqi weapons, and the intelligence he was relying on was, in some cases, "deliberately misleading."
Bush announced the start of the war between Iraq and the U.S. during a televised address from the Oval Office on March 19, 2003. The United States said it had began its war against Iraq just minutes after several explosions were heard over Baghdad.
In an operation dubbed "Shock and Awe," smoke billowed from a presidential palace compound in Baghdad during air strikes on March 21, 2003. Large explosions shook Baghdad during a night of blistering air strikes, as U.S. and British ground forces advancing across southern Iraq battled for hours for control of a strategic airfield.
Baghdad fell to U.S. forces on April 9, 2003. The iconic image of the day was a statue of Saddam Hussein being toppled as Iraqis turned on symbols of their former leader, pulling down the statue and tearing it to pieces.
Combat camera video shows undated footage of U.S. Army soldier Jessica Lynch on a stretcher during her rescue from Iraq. The video was shown as part of a media briefing at Camp As Sayliyah on April 2, 2003. Lynch was severely injured and then kidnapped when her convoy was ambushed on March 23, 2003, by Iraqi forces during the Battle of Nasiriyah.
In a now infamous moment, Bush told a cheering crew aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln on May 1, 2003, that U.S. forces had brought about a "turning of the tide" against terrorism. Underneath a banner reading "Mission Accomplished," the president said the conflict with Iraq marked the beginning of "a new era" in waging war.
On Dec. 13, 2003, troops found a haggard Hussein hiding in a spider hole outside a farmhouse near his hometown of Tikrit. They managed to capture the elusive dictator without firing a shot following an eight-month manhunt.
In November 2004, more than 10,000 U.S. troops and a small number of Iraqi army units begin a siege on the insurgent stronghold of Fallujah, Iraq. Dubbed Operation Phantom Fury, the siege would last until Dec. 23 and result in the death of more than 1,350 insurgent fighters and 95 American soldiers. The operation would prove to be the bloodiest battle of the Iraq War.
On Nov. 23, 2006, a series of fiery suicide car bombings killed at least 152 people and injured 236 more in the deadliest sectarian attack in Baghdad since the war began.
In November 2006, Hussein and his co-defendants Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti and Awad Hamed al-Bandar are sentenced to death for crimes committed against residents of Dujail, Iraq, in 1982, following a failed assassination attempt against Hussein. Specific charges included the murder of 148 people, torture of women and children and the illegal arrest of 399 others.
Footage from Al Iraqiya television shows masked executioners putting a noose around Hussein's neck moments before his hanging in Baghdad on Dec. 30, 2006. Hussein was hanged for crimes against humanity at dawn in a dramatic, violent end for a leader who ruled Iraq by fear for three decades.
In response to rising violence, Bush announces in a televised address to the nation on Jan. 10, 2007, that he will send a "surge" of 21,500 U.S. forces to Iraq.
On Sept. 17, 2007, controversy erupts after contractors for the private security firm Blackwater shoot 17 Iraqi civilians in a Baghdad square. Irate Iraqi officials canceled the controversial firm's license, although ultimately all charges against Blackwater are dismissed. Pictured here is a sign marking the entrance of Blackwater's training facility in Mount Carroll, Illinois, on Oct. 2, 2007.
On Dec. 14, 2008, Bush is almost struck by two shoes thrown at him by Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al-Zaidi during a news conference in Baghdad. In March 2009, al-Zaidi would be sentenced to three years in prison for assaulting a foreign head of state during an official visit. The sentence was later reduced to one year and al-Zaidi was released on Sept. 15, 2009, for good behavior after serving nine months of the sentence.
On Jan. 1, 2009, U.S. troops formally hand over military control of Baghdad's heavily-fortified Green Zone to Iraqi troops, a first major step in the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq.
President Barack Obama declares an end to conflict in Iraq during a national address from the Oval Office on Aug. 31, 2010.
On Dec. 17, 2011, a U.S. military vehicle crosses the border into Kuwait as the last convoy of U.S. soldiers pull out of Iraq, ending nearly nine years of war that cost almost 4,500 American lives.
In June 2014, Islamic militants overran the city of Mosul after taking Fallujah earlier in the year, sending residents and even security forces fleeing. They were threatening to march further south into Baghdad, putting the country's relative stability at risk.
In August 2014, President Barack Obama announced that U.S. airstrikes had begun on Islamic militants after the group had advanced toward what Obama called U.S. interests in northern Iraq. Humanitarian aid drops were also underway to the ethnic Yazidis stranded in the northern mountains by the Islamic group's military siege.

/ 14 Chambers Co EQIP Executive Summary
The USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Chambers County, Alabama will hold a sign-up for the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) for the 2014 Fiscal Year. Signup is open countywide and on a continuous basis. Any eligible land user who has an NRCS identified resource concern related to pastureland/hayland, woodland, cropland, irrigation efficiency, or animal agriculture may apply for financial assistance through this program.
Applications may be made in person at:
3381 Skyway Drive, Suite 2
Auburn, Alabama 36830
Hours: Monday - Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Phone: 334-887-4553
Fax: 334-887-4594
Contact: District Conservationist
The local USDA Work Group has identified the resource concerns in order of priority in Chambers County as:
All applications will be ranked and approvals based on an environmental ranking worksheet that has been adjusted to meet local resource concerns. Applications with the highest point totals generated from this worksheet will be ranked higher for consideration of financial assistance than those applications with lower points within each resource concern. Funding will be allocated among the resource concerns as prioritized above and in a manner to ensure that the county allocation is exhausted and the least amount is turned back to the state level.
Applications will be batched and ranked in intervals according to the NRCS State Office guidelines until all money is allocated or pulled from the county at the end of the program year. Applications filed after October 18, 2013 will be considered during the next batching period if additional funds become available.
For FY-2014, an applicant will be able to enter an application in as many statewide funding pools as he/she is eligible for but will only be able to apply in one county wide fund pool (example: A New and Beginning Farmer wants to sign up for tree planting and cross fence/watering facilities.) In the statewide pool he/she can apply in the New and Beginning Farmer pool but in the county pool he/she has to choose between Forestry/Wildlife or Grazing Lands.
Chambers County will use the Alabama NRCS state approved EQIP Practice and Payment Schedule.
Written leases must be provided for the length of the contract where applicants installing practices are not the current landowner(s). Structural practices installed must have prior written approval of landowner(s).
If a landowner has received an incentive payment in a previous EQIP contract, they will not be allowed to receive additional incentive payments for the same practice and/or practice level during the life of the present farm bill.
Limited Resource Farmers, New and Beginning Farmers, and Socially Disadvantaged Farmers will be paid at an increased payment rate. Additional documentation for certification as Limited Resource and New and Beginning Farmers will be required at contracting, and applicants will self-certify that they meet the requirements to qualify as a Socially Disadvantaged Farmer. A percentage of these applicants will be subject to NRCS State Office random spot checks.

The destination resort project being planned for the site of the old Concord Hotel is ambitious. According to documents on the project's website (www.eptconcordresort.com [2]), "When complete, the EPT Concord Resort will include an 18-hole golf course, a casino resort, harness horse race track, grandstand/showroom, simulcast facility, hotels, a recreational vehicle park and an entertainment village with supporting retail stores. In addition, there will be a residential village with a mix of housing, including condos, apartments, townhouses and detached single-family homes. A multi-use trail system will connect the living units to abundant open spaces."
The investors in the project have applied to the Sullivan County Industrial Development Agency (IDA) for significant tax breaks. According to application documents, tax breaks being sought for phase one of the project amount to $15 million in sales tax, $1.09 million in mortgage tax and $126.7 million in property tax.
The application also says, "For both phase one and to the extent that financial assistance programs are utilized for the overall project, payments in lieu of taxes (PILOT) would be negotiated."
On the other side of the ledger, the application projects that many jobs will be created. The application says, "Construction of the proposed project is anticipated to directly generate 6,325 person-years of employment in New York State, of which 5,674 person-years are anticipated in the Catskills region. (A person-year is the equivalent of one person working full time for a year.) 'This economic activity would lead to the creation of additional indirect and induced jobs. Total employment… including direct, indirect, and induced jobs, is estimated to be 11,356 person-years in New York State, with 8,784 person-years of employment in the Catskills region. Total employee compensation is estimated at $1,681 million in the Catskills region."
While many of the new employment positions will be created for local residents, the application projects that some will come from outside the area but will not have a major impact on housing. The application says, "Some small portion of the direct employment would require specialized degrees or a more advanced skillset, and could result in potential in-migration. It is expected that the potential new residents could find housing as there are 2,453 vacant housing units that are for rent or for sale in Sullivan County."
At full build-out, the application assumes that the property tax bill of the entire property will be worth $42 million per year, with property tax payments being split between Sullivan County, the Town of Thompson and the Monticello School District. The application seeks for the project to pay no property taxes on the projects for eight years, and then to pay increasing amounts with payment of the full amount kicking in at 16 years.
Further, the applicant projects that the project at full build-out "will generate $8.5 million in sales tax, $4.4 million in hotel occupancy tax, and $46.5 million in vendor track fees annually."
This information is contained in a 49-page economic analysis of the project which also says, "Based on preliminary estimates, the total cost for developing the proposed project is estimated at $1,538.84 million in 2012 dollars, which includes $327.93 million for phase one construction." Phase one includes the racino, a hotel and the harness track.
Finally, the application says that there will be no adverse impacts to the region. It says, "The proposed project would be beneficial to the local as well as the regional Catskill economy and is not anticipated to result in any significant adverse socioeconomic impacts. Therefore, no mitigation measures are proposed."

Be Split Savvy1 of 12
By Natasha Burton
While there is no guaranteed formula for preventing divorce, there are ways you can protect your marriage. We asked Judge Lynn Toler, host of Divorce Court and author of My Mother's Rules: A Practical Guide to Becoming an Emotional Genius, for her tips on keeping your union strong and steady.
Always Communicate2 of 12
Toler says: "It is a cliché for a reason: Communication is incredibly important. Talk. Talk. Then talk some more."
SEARCH: How to discuss the tough stuff
Talk Right3 of 12
Toler says: "When you talk, obey these three rules: 1. Wait until your spouse is ready (don't try to explain anything meaningful in the middle of an argument); 2. Start where he/she is (restate what was said so they know you heard their position); 3. Then gently introduce your point of view and a workable compromise."
Learn How You Differ4 of 12
Toler says: "Understand and appreciate gender differences. Just because you're not thirsty doesn't mean that your spouse couldn't use a drink of water. For example, typically women need to cut down on how many words they use and men need to increase the number they are willing to listen to."
Keep Money in Check5 of 12
Toler says: "Do a budget. Write down how much is coming in and how much is going out, and make sure the former exceeds the latter."
Don't Forget Romance6 of 12
Toler says: "Rekindle regularly, especially if you have kids. Date nights and time alone increase the love chemicals in your brain and help you fall in love over and over again."
Stay in the Real World7 of 12
Toler says: "Don't trip over technology. When things aren't going well at home, it's easy to seek an emotional connection with some person online. The only reason 'virtual love' is easy is because it isn't real."
Change Your Approach8 of 12
Toler says: "Many couples have the same argument over and over again. If that is what's going on, change what you say — no matter how much sense it makes to you — because it's not working."
Keep Problems Private9 of 12
Toler says: "Don't complain about your marriage to people who are usually unhappy in their own lives. Misery loves company, and you could be misled."
Talk, Talk, Talk!10 of 12
Toler says: "Did I already say talk about everything? Well, I'm saying it again."
SEARCH: Which Oscar award-winning actress met her fiancé while he was recording a song for a movie she was directing?
Be Alert11 of 12
Toler says: "The minute you start thinking 'we've got it all worked out,' you dramatically increase the odds that it won't. Marriage is the job that never ends; it can be a good job, but it is always a job."

Not You Too "Q"
NEW YORK – Former major league infielder Omar Quintanilla has been suspended 50 games for using a performance-enhancing substance.
The 29-year-old Quintanilla, a 2000 graduate of Socorro High School, was playing in the Colorado Rockies' organization at Class A Tri-City of the Northwest League. He was hitting .252 with one home run and 15 RBIs.
Quintanilla was penalized Wednesday during the minor league drug program.
Quintanilla played parts of the last five seasons in the majors with the Rockies. He hit .220 with two home runs and 32 RBIs in 216 games.
The Rockies issued a statement saying they were disappointed to learn Quintanilla had been suspended.
The above story is from the Associated Press.
When I think of "Q" the first thing that always comes to my mind is heart. Despite his size the dude can play ball. "Q" was the first baseball player to autograph anything for me.
It was a simple autograph on my ticket stub but the interaction and the experience was the spark that got me back into baseball.
I write this entry with a heavy heart. Omar Quintinilla may not be a household name but I seriously looked up to this guy (so to speak). This news is crushing to me.
To tell the truth I didn't give a sheet about Barry Bonds..I'm not a Giants Fan.
Didn't care about Manny Ramirez…I'm not a Dodgers fan.
I haven't been personally affected by anyone whose taken "performance enhancing drugs" until now. If I had to make a list of ten ballplayers who I was absolutely sure never ever use steriods, Omar would be on that list.
Hunter and I would watch Omar play and I would always say something to him like…
"See buddy, it's talent not size", or something along those lines". I always cheered for "Q". He has no idea but I was probably one of his biggest fans. All because of one cool interaction with him four years ago.
Steriods wreck everything.
The "juice" hurts more than the individual player and his reputation, it chips away at the heart of baseball, it's loyal fans.
Steriods hit home this time and it hit hard.
Once again I find myself questioning the people I've put on a pedistol…(aka Vinny Castilla).
I can't bash Omar because he's always been a classy dude the times we've talked.
But if he reads this I just want him to know that this news rocked my world in a really bad way.
Get it together Omar…The Rockpile Rant is all about second chances so please brotha give me something good to write about.
I'm "D" The Rockpile Ranter and I don't dig steriods.
I'm all about keep'n it real.
UPDATE-LUVMYROX sent me a link to this article from Troy Renck
NEW YORK — Omar Quintanilla, a well-respected player in the Rockies' organization for years, released a statement today to The Denver Post, apologizing for his suspension. He was disciplined 50 games Wednesday after testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug.
He has spent the entire season in Triple-A battling through injuries. He was a valuable bech player for the Rockies last year, providing solid defense at a variety of positions.
Here is Quintanilla's statement in full:
"I would like to apologize to my family, teammates, the Colorado Rockies Organization and their fans for recently testing positive for a performance enhancing product. I recently purchased this product over the counter at GNC and it was my understanding that after looking at the label, it did not contain any banned substances. I've always taken great pride in my nutrition, my training, my preparation and dedication to the sport that has given me so much.
I realize just how fortunate I am to be playing professional baseball and would never intentionally do anything to jeopardize that or disrespect the game. "
Told you he was a classy guy. Thank's LUVMYROX…D

I have always liked and respected Omar, as well. I was disheartened to read about this yesterday, but today he issued an apology. From what he says here, he was as surprised as anybody to get the test results. I'm choosing to buy it. 🙂
Hey D,
I was totally taken aback when I read about Q. A lot of the stuff sold at the "nutrition" stores definitely needs to be used with caution. Since it's not regulated some of the companies that make the "nutrition" supplements are less than on the up and up. I worked in a lab for several years that did testing on these type of products and you'd be surprised at what we found.
I'm a huge fan of Q as well and like luvmyrox choose to believe him.
D – I don't think it was anything intentionally done by Omar. He was just trying to get back into shape faster after being injured and mistakenly took a banned substance. Still he should have been more careful and as you mentioned gives baseball a bad name.
I love players like Q that work hard and make to the club with their dedication to playing baseball. I think the Rockies are team of these guys and still have a shot at the playoffs.
R you still believeR this year? I am!
– Ken
I remember when Rays farmhand James Houser got a 50-game suspension a few years ago. It was one of those momentsa you wanted to shake them and ask if they really know how special it was to play a kid's game and get a good paycheck and lifestyle?
Of course recently the Minor Leagues began teststing for HGH. Hopefully it is just an over the counter muscle or diet supplement that was inadvertently taken by Q.
Always a tragic time for the fans, especially the young ones when their idols who they admire seem to stray beyond the rules.
A lot of great players have made these mistakes and gone on to again become productive players and model citizens of the game. The pain is real, the punishment is just, but you still want to believe you are dreaming.
Rays Renegade
To all: I still believe. Never doubt that. I also take Omar at his word. I just wish we could move past PEDS, but I don't see it happening anytime soon…D

TSA Announces Expansion of 'Diamond' Self-Select Lanes to Pittsburgh International Airport
PITTSBURGH, PA – The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) today announced the expansion of its popular Diamond Self-Select Lanes program to Pittsburgh International Airport. To date, Pittsburgh is one of twelve airports in the country to launch this innovative program designed to expedite the screening process for air travelers.
"The Self-Select Lanes program is a way to make the checkpoint less stressful and more user-friendly for travelers, enhancing security as a result," said Joseph Terrell, federal security director, TSA Pittsburgh. "Security is best served by a calm screening environment and, in return, the passengers benefit from a less stressful, more efficient security experience."
The Self-Select Lanes in Pittsburgh's Landside Terminal are comprised of three new lanes designated by signage that directs passengers based on their travel needs and knowledge – Expert, for the business traveler who flies several times a month; Casual, for travelers who are somewhat familiar with the procedures: and Family/Special Assistance, for passengers traveling with small children or strollers, elderly passengers and passengers who may need special assistance.
Salt Lake City International and Denver International airports were the first to institute the self-select lanes process in February. Airports implementing the program have seen a reduction in wait times for expert travelers in the diamond lanes, an overall increase in throughput and greatly increased customer satisfaction. By giving families more time to prepare for screening, TSA officers are discovering fewer prohibited items during the screening process.
Other airports employing the self-select program are Boston Logan, Orlando, Spokane, Cincinnati, Raleigh/Durham, Houston Hobby, Dallas Love Field and Oakland.
TSA is in the process of selecting additional airports for the program based on input from our partners. Airport selection is based on a number of factors, including checkpoint configuration, stakeholder support and passenger population. To watch a video of the Diamond Self-Select Lanes in action, please visit www.tsa.gov. To view passenger response on this and other TSA innovations, visit www.tsa.gov/blog.

A single-engine, four-seat airplane disappears from radar during a flight from Maui to Molokai.
The Coast Guard and other agencies are racing against time to figure out what happened to the plane with one man on board. The Coast Guard said they found a debris field about 2.5 miles north of Maui, where the plane went off radar.
"When our aircraft initially came on scene they did see a debris field that was consistent with that aircraft. In fact, that debris field consisted of items that looked like came from the interior of that aircraft," said Lt. Leigh Cotterell with the Coast Guard.
The Cessna airplane disappeared at about 7 p.m. Saturday. The Coast Guard was on scene in half an hour from when the plane was reported missing and has been searching continuously.
"The nature of the debris field the Coast Guard has seen, we are still searching, but the debris field is consistent with potentially this crash not being survivable," said Cotterell.
The Cessna pilot Jose Krall reported as the only person in the airplane was well known in the community.
"Very kind and mellow guy. I've been serving him a couple times here at the restaurant," said a Gerard's Maui employee.
Krall was the owner of the popular Maui Bake Shop and Deli.
"I really like especially their croissant was fantastic, and they had a very nice product," said Gerard's employee.
The Coast Guard intends to continue searching for the pilot and debris until sunset Sunday and then they plan to re-evaluate.
They said there is potential for debris to come on shore from Kahului to Poelua bay. If you find debris on shore they ask that you call 842-2601.
The National Safety Transportation Board is investigating what could have caused the accident.
