2012 has been a difficult year for Red Sox fans to say the least. Murphy's Law has seemed to apply to the team this season, and there is no sign that the difficulties will clear up overnight.
Being that Boston places more importance on their baseball team than most cities, this has created a panic. Fans are, for the most part, furious in all directions.
Perhaps Boston needs to calm down. This season may be all but lost, but that is no reason for overreaction. Here are five reasons to look up.

Derek Wade
Derek Wade is a football coach and teacher at Kestrel Heights School in Durham, NC. He is also the author of the Impact! series of non-fiction books on coaching youth football. He has served ten years as an active duty Electronics Technician for the United States Coast Guard and three years as a reservist. His interest in the paranormal stems from the 1980 George C. Scott movie The Changeling and the EVP recording session performed in the film. He recorded his first EVP in 1994, but despite these ties to electronic research methods he remains particularly fascinated with the idea of using animal senses in paranormal investigations. An atheist and self-described skeptic, with an ESP sensitivity of "brick-like," Derek nevertheless believes that there is more to the world than what can be perceived by normal human senses that have atrophied over generations of disuse. This is where keen animal senses may play an important role.

'White Collar' 2.13 'Countermeasures' Recap And Review
It's a busy day for Neal Caffrey. First, he meets with Mozzie to check on the progress of their fractal antenna. Mozzie says using the phrase "good work" implies he has a job. I start laughing, and I'm still snickering by the time Neal returns back home, looking for June, and walks into Ford (Billy Dee Williams), an "old friend" of hers who's just moved back to Manhattan. He is naturally suspicious (oh, Matt Bomer, how I love you and your facial expressions) and starts asking questions, having no idea that when he uses the phrase "partners in crime," he's totally right. Worried, he goes to Diana, asking her to run a print analysis on the guy.
Peter and Elizabeth are bringing Satchmo back from the vet, after the dog has swallowed one of Peter's handcuff keys due to his obsession with shiny objects. (Him, and several people I know.) Peter is not thrilled to get a phone call from Diana, telling him that he needs to see the results of the print analysis. It turns out that Ford is really a murder suspect named Jonas, and he's been in and out of correctional facilities for "the last decade or so." At least, that's what Peter thinks, but Neal sees the picture in the file and points out that Ford is not a white guy. So who is he, and why does he have someone else's fingerprints?
Well, Jones has an answer. Ford is Jonas's former cellmate, and a known associate of June's late husband, Byron. Peter wants to know what Ford and Jonas are up to. He dispatches Diana for a little surveillance, while Neal gets back to his place to find June looking for a photo album. "You two go way back," Neal says, as she flips through plenty of older photographs of herself and her husband with their old friend. Neal still has that vaguely unimpressed look on his face. The moment she leaves, he sneaks into one heck of a walk-in closet and begins searching through Byron's suits, recovering an old, faded receipt.
There's no time to think on what it might mean, however, as Ford has turned up and wants to make a friend. While Neal doesn't deny that he understands where Ford is coming from, that doesn't mean he has to like the guy. Ford invites Neal to join himself and June for dinner that evening, and tells Neal that he's looking for a second chance. "I was worried you were looking for something else," Neal admits, and shakes his hand, but we know he's not going to drop the subject. He takes the recovered receipt to Mozzie, then gets a phone call from Peter, who says that Jonas looks to be pulling together a crew ("not for rowing"). Peter wants to have Jonas hauled into the office, but Neal invites Peter and Elizabeth to dinner instead. Peter says no, but Elizabeth is happy to oblige. (The look on Tim DeKay's face is also priceless.)
Dinner is, of course, awkward (but at least there's pie). The highlight of the whole scene (and the episode) is that we get to hear Diahann Carroll and Matt Bomer sing while Billy Dee Williams does some amazing fake piano. Seriously, if there were any plausible reason for a musical episode of White Collar, I'd get behind that. We also learn that Peter is a terrific dancer, not that he volunteers that information himself.
Just then, Mozzie calls, telling Neal that the receipt is from a furniture store for the coffee table that's in Byron's study. There's also an additional charge for labor and modification. Moz is a bit miffed that he didn't get invited to the party, though. Neal doesn't placate him, just goes to poke at the coffee table. He pulls Peter upstairs to show him what's inside: a secret compartment containing a printing plate for hundred-dollar bills. However, by the time he gets Peter there, the plate is gone and so is Ford.
Ticked off, Neal calls a meeting with Peter and Mozzie, explaining to us that the plate is for a 1991 hundred, which is easier to duplicate since it doesn't have many of today's security features. He tells Peter he needs "reading material" from the U.S. Treasury, and we cut to him at the FBI office, looking like it's Christmas morning as he checks out the original plate while being watched by "the Men in Black Bobsled Team." All giddiness aside, Diana informs him that they caught Ford visiting Jonas and have brought him in for questioning. Ford tells them that Byron stole the plate from him and "was protecting me from myself." Furthermore, he says that he came back to keep Jonas from going to June's himself and getting the plate (ostensibly by getting it for him). No one quite believes him.
Peter has a plan, however: send both Ford and Neal undercover to catch Jonas with his hand in the cookie jar. That's how the two of them end up in an abandoned restaurant. Neal easily passes the initiation test, and all seems well until Ford opens his mouth and lets Jonas know that they know a little too much. Smooth, Lando. Reallly smooth. Neal saves his behind by taking the blame himself, and keeps both of them from ending up with new holes in their heads, but Ford gets grounded. It's all on Neal now.
That night, Peter and Neal discuss the situation at the FBI office, as Peter says they'll keep Neal's tracker off for the time being. Peter also thinks Ford is a cautionary tale for his partner. "You can either be a con or a man, you can't be both," he says. Then Neal has a lightbulb moment: the original booking slip for the forger they've replaced has two colors of ink on it, suggesting that he'd already mixed the dye by the time he was snagged. They now know that Jonas's next move is to steal the paper stock he needs for the job.
It's easy to find his thug, and from where that guy is, they deduce where the crew will try and hit. Yet it's not very long before Diana informs him that Ford has slipped away again, just as things are about to go nuts. With red flags everywhere, Peter makes a phone call to find out that the paper stock is in transit. His second, unsettled phone call is to Neal, but he gets Mozzie: Jonas has already turned up and literally yanked Neal from the house to help with the team's assault on the armored truck carrying the paper. "This isn't what I do," Neal protests, but he doesn't exactly have a choice. With a whole lot of guns in play, he helps Jonas's crew pull off the robbery. When they get back, Ford is there waiting for them, and Jonas puts the two of them to work at gunpoint. (The man has no social skills whatsoever.) Welcome to a nice montage of counterfeiting in a room with hideous zebra-print wallpaper.
At June's, Peter and Mozzie are conversing themselves, with Peter realizing that Ford let information about the job slip in order to get someone else to pull it for him. The two go through the photo album and deduce that the operation is being housed in the old Lenox Lounge building. Sirens wail outside as Ford does a neat little switch of suitcases. Neal catches this, and switches them back while Ford's back is turned. He is not happy that Ford put June's life at risk to get paid. You can almost feel him smirk as everything falls into place. Diana introduces Jonas's head to the hood of a cruiser, while he tells Ford, "Unlike you, I've got a partner I can trust." Oh, snap.
While Peter and an FBI team close in, Neal gives Ford a chance to turn sides, just as he once did. Ford, however, doesn't bite. Neal is saddened at that, but Peter reminds him that, as Byron figured out, "There's no such thing as a final score - only the next one. Unless you figure that out, you're going to lose in the end." And lose Ford does, as he finds out that Neal switched the briefcases and left him with nothing. At least June seems to take the situation on the chin, admitting that she always knew who Ford was, but that she let him in because she wanted to remember what she and her late husband had. "Maybe I wanted to go dancing again," she says, and I can't help but sniffle a little as Neal offers her a dance.
"You ever think about how all this is gonna end?" he asks Mozzie later on, while revealing that the printing plate is back inside Byron's table. Okay, so he's not entirely reformed. Then again, we wouldn't want him to be.
This episode is a vast improvement over last week's; while I enjoyed last week, this episode has a snap and a pop to it that "What Happens In Burma" didn't. I attribute that to three things: the presence of an outstanding guest star in Billy Dee Williams, who is perfect for the part of Ford, more of the ever-lovely Diahann Carroll, and an equally outstanding performance by Matt Bomer. What we get this week is a conflict between two con men, and it brings out the best in both actors as they match wits and skill sets. Matt does an excellent job of bringing us along with him for the ride; I couldn't help but smile at how protective Neal was of June, and smirk when he proved to Ford that he wasn't about to be the older man's patsy. Matt has a great gift when it comes to making us feel what Neal feels, and it worked very well in this episode.
And while Neal might not think so, the presence of Ford does give him (and us) a look into the man he could have been if not for his interactions with Peter. It's food for thought, both for his character and for the audience. Character is the heart of any show for me, and so the plots I love the most are the ones that allow us to learn more about our main characters, and allow them to learn things about themselves. This episode was definitely an eye-opener when it came to the character of Neal Caffrey, and that was no surprise. This week, we were treated to great work from an up-and-coming star alongside two living legends, and so of course this episode wasn't going to disappoint! I have only one regret: that we have to wait two weeks for the next episode.
On my way out the door, a little roundup: in case you missed it earlier, there was plenty of White Collar news today: Tiffani Thiessen was kind enough to drop by for an interview, and it was reported that Hilarie Burton will be a series regular come season three. It's been a busy Tuesday!

No knock against this track Bill, but it's got so little variation, and the stuff that is there is tough to sample up...lot of vocal overlaps...tough loops...gonna take a lot of synth work to make it work with what I'm doing...hope that's OK.
Anyone who uses FL Studio have suggestions on ways to stretch short (talkin' < 1 second here) cuts & samples into longer, more useful notes and playable synths? I've tried runnin' stuff through the slicer, but it always sounds so crappy and grainy.
Use edison...usually the slicer works though

And in spite of the fact that a hunger problem exists as well, our population as a whole eats more and moves less than the citizens of other countries. Sadly, it's no longer just affecting adults, but children as well. Even though medicine has made huge strides and people, on average, are living longer, it has been said that today's generation of children and teenagers may not live as long as their parents will. So,…Continue

Your welcome Grizz, some people in fishing get all secretive? The thing with fishing is in a lot of cases you have to be "right" with a variety of variables, pattern, depth, presentation and so on. Sometime it's easy sometimes not, but I don't have a problem giving advice especially someone new to the game, it can be overwhelming at first, years ago i used to say flyfishing was the most tangley sport in the world. I learned how to flyfish in the park before learning about tailwaters. The greatest thing for me about our wonderful sport is that you learn something every time you go out, and if you don't you probably aren't paying enough attention. That's why I love it, If you really want to find success with this there is no room for the troubles of the day when your out there worriying about, flies, wind, casting angles, was that a riser over there?, what kinga bug is that flying around? Can I make the perfect cast?................Good Luck!
If it swims throw a fly at it!

Parents spy on kids in festive season, say sleuthsSaloni Bhatia | TNN | Oct 25, 2012, 12.00 AM IST
Is Diwali patakha a synonym for your hot girlfriend? Do you tell mom-dad you're at the dandiya raas when you're at the disco? Smart Alecs, your parents could be smarter
While for some the festive season would bring patakhas, gifts and mithai, for others it's about sneaking out to party or go on dates with their better halves, and for the parents of these guys, it's about the paranoia over 'Haye, mera bachcha kaha gaya?' So, while some parents will be doling out the cash to buy new things for the house and gigantic gifts, their worried counterparts will be filling the pockets of detectives in the city to snoop on their 'bigda hua' laadlas and laadlis. We spoke to some detective agencies in the capital who are minting money during the festivals.
What do mummys and daddys want to know?
"In most of the cases, parents want us to find out whether their child is taking sedatives or drugs. Some want to know whether their child isn't using the festival celebrations as a pretext to party with their boyfriend/girlfriend," says Sanjay Singh, director, Indian Detective Agency. Detective agencies reveal that they receive almost 2-3 calls daily from parents who want detectives to spy on their kids during this time of the year. "We start receiving calls from parents 15-20 days before the festivities begin. Sometimes we are so full up that we have to refuse some cases," informs Baldev Kr Puri, chairman, AMX Detectives.
Diwali, New Years' and college fests - a hit with detectives
"Parents hire detectives to track the activities of their children during the time of New Year, college fests and Diwali," informs Ajit Singh, MD, Hatfield Detectives, adding that they take written consent from parents before they start investigation.
Betis cause more worry
Puri reveals that in most of the cases, it's the parents of girls who approach the detective agencies to track their daughters. "Moreover, the queries mostly involve parents of teenagers who have just entered college and made new friends," he says.
Strategy of investigation
The investigation usually starts with talking to the friends of the person who has to be investigated. "Parents usually give us the information about their child's friends circle. When we begin investigations, either our sleuths pose as people who are conducting a survey about the city's nightlife or they try to strike a friendly conversation with the friends of the person who has to be tracked and information is extracted from them," says Rahul Rai Gupta, MD, Secret Watch Detectives. Following the information given by them about the whereabouts of the child, the team, which usually comprises two or, in some cases, three members, follows them.
For some cases, detectives have to play dress-up too! This is so that they mix with the crowd. "If the detectives are following someone to a dandiya night, they have to dress up in traditional Gujarati attire to be able to capture photos and videos of the person. If the sleuth is going to a five-star hotel, he/she has to wear formal clothes to blend with the people there," informs Major Bhalla, director, AB Detectives.
There is no set age of the sleuths who spy on the youngsters. "It depends on the kind of investigation which is required. If the investigation requires one to snoop around during college fests, we bring in college students who work as freelancers for us. If the work requires following the person without getting noticed, it is usually the experienced lot which is given the task," informs Rahul.

A Republican Party official in northern Idaho is moving forward with a defamation lawsuit against a woman who posted online comments about missing party funds.
Former Kootenai County Republican Party Chairwoman Tina Jacobson of Rathdrum sued Linda Cook after learning Cook posted a comment on The Spokesman-Review's Huckleberries online blog asking if $10,000 allegedly missing from the party's coffers was "stuffed inside Tina's blouse."
Jacobson's attorney amended the court filing Monday to argue that Cook is in breach of contract for refusing to abide by a settlement agreement that required her to make a public apology and a donation to charity.
Cook said she is prepared to defend herself in court and the breach of contract claim "is going to be a matter of strenuous contention."

trying to work out whether to go out on the bike or not..might ease off with a bit of fresh air.....or might make it worse....decsions decsions
Seren you could always give it a go ... if you have pain or stiffness then come back home and have a hot bathIt might be better than doing nothing?
good advice meldy...I wanted a long bike ride because the weather was perfect...but i did do one on wednesday so no big deal...................managed a 65 min bike followed by a 15 min run as I noticed I hadn't done a brick sessions this week.......followed by a run.........
feeling better for doing it and the back is about the same.........going to spend the afternoon taking it easy instead of going to watch the hockey.....all that standing up would make it much worse
Watch the rugby instead
... which I managed to watch snippets of inbetween pretending to work all afternoonI have a few projects underway and I am not sure which one to prioritise and I tend towards the ones that I enjoy which isnt always the one that I should be concentrating on !!Nasty nasty 11-21 shift tomorrow so thats all day and all night and practically into bedtime
i am ready to be picked up by my wing run-mate this morning

Plante & Moran Benchmarking Study of North American Plastic Industry Reveals Performance Trends
Page Content 1
SOUTHFIELD, Michigan —
Plante & Moran, PLLC, the 12th largest CPA and business consulting firm in the United States, recently released its 2008 North American Plastics Industry Study. According to the study results, industry employee productivity continues to climb as measured by value added per employee but the enhanced productivity has not translated into higher profits. In addition, continued price pressures and rising material costs are having a dramatic impact on profitability.
More than 172 companies representing 244 facilities in a broad array of processes throughout North America, including, the United States, Canada, and Mexico participated in the study, which is conducted and published by Plante & Moran.
"The results of the study show there is hope and perhaps prosperity ahead for those industry participants who persevere and have a well thought out strategy," said Jeff Mengel, Partner and Plastics Industry Practice Leader at Plante & Moran. "We have compiled statistics on the most profitable companies and identified successful companies as those with more than 10 percent earnings before interest, taxes and owner's compensation, 30 percent return on net capital employed, and at least five percent sales growth. These companies are few and far between. Of the 172 companies participating in this study, only 15 met all of these thresholds, while up to 55 met one of the three variables for success."
Key findings contained in the research study include:
Continued Price Pressures
— Complex, fast, and large products have remained, while simple, slow, and small products are manufactured in low-cost countries. Approximately 10 percent of the survey respondents lost more than 15 percent of last year's sales through the resourcing of jobs by the customer, which is consistent with prior years. Almost one in four survey participants were subject to e-bidding on existing programs, resulting in a loss of contracts or reduced sales dollars (60 percent retention with a three-point-one percent price reduction).
Rising Material Costs
— The inability for some companies to pass along rising resin costs has hurt their bottom lines. This year alone, polypropylene resin prices rose 36 cent a pound—a 42 percent increase for many molders. Assuming 50 percent material content, this represents a 20 percent increase in expenses. Since the average plastics company's net earnings are only six percent, most companies are losing 30 percent every month in profits.
Successful Company Performance Comparison
— Highly successful companies invest more in sales and marketing and have a broader diversification of customers. The successful companies have addressed how to reduce the noise that plagues the manufacturing environment. Complexity is managed through compartmentalization or extreme flexibility and quality issues are managed to meet customer expectations. Most importantly, successful companies' new sales possess a higher value proposition than the current sales, so margins are improving year after year even with negotiated price reductions. Successful companies also maintain excellent pricing disciplines, with very few sales returning margins less than 10 percent. Finally, successful companies retained slight superiority in just about every cost category — the cumulative impact having a positive impact on the bottom line.
About the North American Plastics Industry Study
Plante & Moran's annual North American Plastics Study is widely regarded as the most in-depth benchmarking survey available linking profitability and performance in the plastics industry. The study measures key performance indicators in areas such as strategy and marketing, financial performance, human resources, and operations. For hundreds of contributing participants, the study provides an objective view of what drives success in the plastics industry.
The complete 88-page Plante & Moran 2008 North American Plastics Industry Study is available exclusively to survey participants. A summarized report is available for purchase from the Society of Plastics Industry at

It's been less than a week since Battlefield 4 was officially announced and revealed in spectacular fashion, with 17 minutes of gameplay footage that knocked us off our feet. Now that everyone's in agreement that the game looks great, EA's stepped in phase 2. That's right, let's talk what it's going to take to get you to preorder this bad boy. How about... DLC!
A leaked promotional image for Battlefield 4 has been sighted teasing a "Drone Strike Expansion Pack" piece of DLC that will come with pre-orders. Fans can expect both the game and this special DLC bonus to be available this fall. Also, I mean, that dude on the box looks totally rad and you'd hate to miss out and not be that guy.
Official word from EA is that "Drone Strike" is still unofficial, though we've got to wonder why promotional material is out in the wild for an unofficial DLC pack. Here's the Twitter message backing up on the DLC's title:
@gsamr Drone Strike was a working title. The title and contents of this Premium expansion pack are still being designed.— Battlefield (@Battlefield) March 29, 2013
Battlefield 4 is currently planned for PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and next-gen consoles, to be released this fall. Preorders for the PC version of the game are currently running at $60, with a $70 option that includes some smaller DLC items for dedicated players. The price point for the game on next-gen systems has yet to be determined.

Tekin RX8 Gen2 Case (Black)
Fits great! Worth the hassle. If you can take out the old case and install the new one without any solder/de-solder work that would be great. I had to take out my wires because the solder joints area were a bit thick for the case to come off. I like the Black more than the White. As soon as I google image on the Rx8 Gen2 and saw this black one I bought it without hesitation. Really easy to install. 4 Screws (note the 2 short and 2 long ones where they should be). Just be careful when pulling out the esc boards and electronic parts from the old case, don't force it....wiggle a little if the ends of the board get a little stuck with the old case while trying to pull it out. Otherwise, you might snap something. This is best to replace if no soldering was done on the wires , example, when the ESC is brand new. to be Honest, another reason why I bought this was I melted a tiny tiny bit of the plastic (white old case) when I was doing soldering on the wires. hehehe. Yes I am a perfectionist !

DiNapoli's approval paves the way for CBN Secure Technologies owned by Ottawa-based Canadian Bank Note, to produce the licenses. Its $88.5 million bid was $38 million higher than the current contractor, Britain-based De La Rue North America.
But state officials estimate the contract cost will be closer to $70 million. Bids were based on a per-card price so the contract cost won't be known until all the cards are manufactured over the life of the contract.
DiNapoli explored the losing bidders' contention that the Cuomo administration "steered" the bid to CBN, a long-established leader in the field of printing money, including Canadian money and high security documents.
Auditors found "no indication" that CBN was given "insider knowledge or afforded an unfair advantage." Auditors examined the bidding process, but relied on the DMV's technical analysis of the bids.
De La Rue said the process "was profoundly flawed."
"Because we believe the DMV selection process warrants further scrutiny, De La Rue will resume its legal challenge to the decision in state Supreme Court," stated De La Rue, which has the DMV contract for 16 years.

Raman spectroscopy represents an insightful characterization tool in electronics, which comprehensively suits the technological needs for locally and quantitatively assessing crystal structures, domain textures, crystallographic misalignments, and residual stresses in piezoelectric materials and related devices. Recent improvements in data processing and instrumental screening of large sampling areas have provided Raman spectroscopic evaluations with rejuvenating effectiveness and presently give spin to increasingly wider and more sophisticated experimental explorations. However, the physics underlying the Raman effect represents an issue of deep complexity and its applicative development to non-cubic crystallographic structures can yet be considered in its infancy. This review paper revisits some applicative aspects of the physics governing Raman emission from crystalline matter, exploring the possibility of disentangling the convoluted dependences of the Raman spectrum on crystal orientation and mechanical stress. Attention is paid to the technologically important class of piezoelectric materials, for which working algorithms are explicitly worked out in order to quantitatively extract both structural and mechanical information from polarized Raman spectra. Systematic characterizations of piezoelectric materials and devices are successively presented as applications of the developed equations. The Raman response of complex crystal structures, described here according to a unified formalism, is interpreted as a means for assessing both crystallographic textures and stress-related issues in the three-dimensional space (thus preserving their vectorial and tensorial nature, respectively). Statistical descriptions of domain textures based on orientation distribution functions are also developed in order to provide a link between intrinsic single-crystal data and data collected on polycrystalline (partly textured) structures. This paper aims at providing rigorous spectroscopic foundations to Raman approaches dealing with the analyses of functional behavior and structural reliability of piezoelectric devices.
This work was partly supported by the Murata Science Foundation (Grant Ref. No. 32 in the year 2011). The author is most grateful to Professor Ken-ya Hashimoto (Chiba University, Chiba, Japan), Professor Jun-ichi Kushibiki (Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan), and Dr. Michio Kadota (Murata Mfg. Co., Ltd., Kyoto, Japan) for urging the compilation and addressing the importance of the topics covered in this review. Partnership with Dr. Hirokazu Chazono at Taiyo Yuden Co., Ltd., Gunma, Japan, greatly accelerated our Raman research of piezoelectric devices in its early stage of development, and for this the author conveys his deep gratefulness. Professor Haosu Luo at Shanghai Institute of Ceramics provided the PMN-PT single crystals. Sincere appreciation is also given to Professor Francesco Gonella (Venice, Ca' Foscari, University) for his kind encouragements and suggestions during the preparation of the manuscript. The author is deeply indebted to his Assistant, Dr. Wenliang Zhu, for his fundamental contribution during the development of the Raman algorithms for stress analysis and for having patiently checked all the equations listed in this review. The brilliant experimental contributions of Dr. Atsuo Matsutani (presently at TDK Corporation, Chiba, Japan) and Mr. Keisuke Tsuji (presently at Omron, Kusatsu, Shiga, Japan) during the initial stage of research on MLCC, and of Dr. Yasuhito Takahashi and Dr. Leonardo Puppulin during the development of the ODF algorithms are also gratefully acknowledged. Sincere gratitude is given to Mr. Keisuke Okai (presently at TDK Corporation, Chiba, Japan) and Mr. Hirofumi Hagihara for helping in the experimental procedures and with the preparation of the figures. This work would not have been possible without the research contributions of all the Japanese and foreign members who have belonged in the past and those who presently work at the Ceramic Physics Laboratory of Kyoto Institute of Technology in Japan.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|Look up shrinkage in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
Shrinkage may refer to:
- Shrinkage (accounting), the loss of product inventory
- Shrinkage (statistics), a technique to improve an estimator
- Shrinkage (fabric), a common problem when laundering garments
- Shrinkage (casting/molding), slight dimensional reduction brought about by the reduction in volume of the cast or molded material as it cools and solidifies. When shrinkage of a part will present fitting problems, e.g., interchangeability, the casting pattern/mold cavity is made slightly larger.
- Slang term referring to human penis size, particularly when the penis and scrotum contract in response to chilling

Always the Same from Linkin Park?
Friday, July 20. 2007
Today a colleague send me a link to an MP3, where the left channel and the right channel are playing two different songs from Linkin Park. Listen to it and judge yourself. It sound amazingly similar. But to be fair: There's also another MP3 with two songs from Nickelback with two songs that are as similar as these from linkin park. Simply search for the file nickelbacksucks.mp3.
