JR isn't "in the conversation" for 6th man either, he's the clear favorite.
we lost a lot of close games during that "horrible stretch" of .500 ball. most playoff teams in the east have been playing .500 ball all year yet you guys were scared to play them as if they were clearly better than us.
is melo still a poorly conditioned me first fat loser? haaaaaa knickstape ya bish

Can't believe people wanted Melo gone. He was far from the problem.
Mood: WOOF!
The diffrence isn't just Melo, its also JR Smith playing like he did to start the yr, when he was clear cut 6th man of yr canadite, to totally losing that for about a 3month stretch, to now playing like that again.. Melo can't do it by himself, and even with his monster games latley, we'd still be losing without JR Smiths monster contributions...
And as far as Melo's concerned, hes playing outta this world, and i hope he keeps it up.. And as long as melos playing like this, who could say anything but hes a beast? The problem is, its not always like this...
i honestly think it's a combination of the media and mike breen brainwashing people. last year the team struggled and it was all melo's fault. lin emerges and the team wins 6 straight! omg 6? wowsers (most against bad teams). lin and amare get hurt and what happens? do we tank and fall out of the playoffs? nope. melo goes beast mode in april and the team finishes 18-6. yet the media never gave him any credit for getting them into the playoffs.
melo is a goddamn stud. i don't mind the haters anymore either because they must be miserable. i can understand fans of other teams bashing melo, but if you're a knicks fan how can you not embrace melo? the guy is jordan-esque when he's cooking.
If anything, this is the reason i was so critical, becasue u'd have to be a moron to not know what this teams capable of and to except 21-21 from them...

Who is to blame for Chargers loss?
It was nothing new as the San Diego Chargers made the trip to Tampa to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and former Charger Vincent Jackson.
This was set up to be a crucial midseason matchup with both squads entering the game 4-4 for the season with the Chargers coming off a big win and the Bucs looking for their third straight victory. It's unfortunate that the anticipation of this battle was marred by just more of the same from the Chargers. In what's become a staple for this team, there would be problems all over the field. In examining the latest failings, the spotlight has moved from individual mistakes to the team struggling to execute basic plays, calling into question leadership and overall play calling.
It was inspirational to see the team dominate the Kansas City Chiefs last week and give a moment of hope that perhaps the team was back into the groove of things. It was uninspiring; however, to see a team that was so successful on the field the week before unable again to maintain it's halftime lead. In lieu of a victory, fans were left with the disappointing feeling of Deja Vu.
The game began with the scoring excitement that has become a Chargers trademark (Cleveland's loss notwithstanding). The team flexed it's offensive muscle early, beginning with a Philip Rivers pass to Danario Alexander who scored on an 80-yard reception. The wide receiver spun out of the grasp of Leonard Johnson on San Diego's opening possession. It was a catch that Chargers Nation could be happy with and Alexander has become a huge part of the Chargers offensive arsenals. The promising receiver would end the game with 134 receiving yards to go along with that touchdown. Rivers capped off the first quarter as he threw a 13-yard TD pass to tight end Antonio Gates for a 14-7 1st quarter lead.
The special teams unit again played a crucial role in a Chargers game and not for the better.
They were not able to hold the Buccaneers at bay, as Bucs linebacker Adam Hayward would block a Mike Scifres punt and return it 29 yards for a score. That gave the Bucs a 17-14 lead that they would not relinquish.
It was a long day for Rivers. With the game still in reach in the fourth quarter, he had a pass intercepted by cornerback by Leonard Johnson. As Johnson headed down the sideline, Offensive lineman Jeromey Clary seemed powerless to stop him as he went on an 83 yard touchdown run. In what had to make Chargers fans wince, the pass was thrown as the scampering Rivers tried to go out of bounds to avoid being sacked. Of course, when you're sixth in the league in getting sacks, you can understand his need to run. Rivers would end with 2 interceptions for the game and 12 for the season, tied with Matt Cassel and rookie Brandon Weeden for second highest in the league.
It seems the only person more shocked by the pick-six pass landing in his lap was Johnson himself. How surprised you may ask? Let's just put it this way: Johnson was so surprised about the pass to him that all he could say was "It caught me by surprise."
During Norv Turners' post-game press conference with the media, the usually calm Turner had finally had enough. The question that brought Turner to a boiling point was asked by a San Diego TV reporter Turner was asked if the Chargers' 34-24 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was
unacceptable. Turner responded with snarkily ""What do you think?" said Turner, "You answer that question."
Fans would like to answer that question and more such as: "Norv, what will you do about the defense allowing Rivers to constantly run for his life?" "How do you plan on fixing the embarrassing special teams effort?" and "When you saw Vincent Jackson run for 31 yards on us, did you ask AJ what other brilliant moves he has planned?" All those questions and more had better be answered soon, because the Chargers next opponent is their arch-rival, the AFC West leading Denver Broncos. Tebow may be gone, but the team still seems to be running on divine intervention. These are the same Broncos (6-3) that just beat the Carolina Panthers 36-14 on their way to a four game win streak. Don't expect to be given any favors by the reinvigorated Peyton Manning, who is courting both MVP and Comeback player of the year mentions.
Who do you blame for the latest loss, Rivers, the team defense, the punter or just an overall better team in the Buccaneers. Let your voice be heard. Sound off in the comments below.
Did you place a bet on the game and were let down by the Chargers? If you made the bet at www.ladbrokes.com then you would have to chance to make your money back on some of their great sports games like Game On and Hot Shots. Or if its the classics you prefer, there is always blackjack.

J. Smith in his off seasons move to let good players go and bring in less talent
> > > All of the above and more!! Rivers is making bad calls and we all know he is better than this. Norv is well...lost in space and playing kinda like an employee who gave notice he is leaving but still working his obligated 2 weeks, or an employee who knows he is being let go due to cut backs or whatever but that day just hasn't happened yet. I am not so much on the anti AJ group...yeap some poor calls on trading players but we also SHOULD have improved with the talent we again brought in...but so far not much to chat about...WHY is this, coaching period! If your coach never yells at you or holds you accountable for your performance, you take the easy way and play uhhhh fair to poorly. The Offense so far has been as creative as the famous 1999 Patriots - NOPE not the pro Team but the Pop Warner Team here in my town!!! :) Come on Norv, 4 good to Pro Bowl level TE and you got nothing in the playbook (3-4 TE backfield/wide out??) you got 3 solid RB and never all 3 in the back field?? You had and now have back plenty of talent in WR and never 4-5 wide outs?? Always plain jane old plays from again 1999 Pop Warner level play books. The Defense, well at times good, and at times mistakes are made. I think overall, they are much improved from last year and have a ways to go, but the Offense (or lack thereof) and turnovers are again killing us. The half time coach reviews in the locker room must be something like "well guys we are ahead at the half, so lets just go out and play uhhh like we forgot about the first half, oh and Defense, don't worry I doubt they will change a thing so just to stay in the same coverage...no need to adjust now". Well, it is Denver week...Manning will be ready and if we lose we are no doubt out of it again circa 2011 season!!! Right now, we are lucky if we accidently land in a wild card position and that is only IF we can actually win some games and other Teams fall apart. So win this week and we live to see another day...lose and WTF fire Norv and start the interviews ASAP!
Oh and Pete...your wife laughing as you told her what was coming near the end of last week...Damn Funny...but sadly True!!

Raiderhater, I must say your making some very good points about the status of the Chargers and not blaming it all on the organizations management. I do agree with you about the play calling done by Norv and the two weeks notice is funny and probably accurate.
- Pete Spinning said... Nov 15, 2012, 12:56:00 PM
You know how it goes, being a Charger fan... once behind, there is no comeback these days. If we can get four quarters of the team that plays in the first half, we would be best in the league.. but, we've been saying that for over a month now. I'll still post up on Sunday, and watch the game. I have low expectations, and I will warn my wife that she might want to go shopping for a few hours... lol.
Go Chargers?
- Pete Spinning said... Nov 15, 2012, 1:23:00 PM
The Chargers o-line is awful. I will also throw in that Gaither constantly sitting on the sideline with an injury is destroying our passing game. There are a lot of things that contribute to a team loss, but our main problem coming down the stretch in games, seems to be a combination of poor pass protection... which forces poor decisions from Rivers... and bad run blocking... which stalls our running game. We either get a bunch of three & outs, which tires out our defenses already weak pass coverage, allowing QB's to pick us apart... or we take sacks, a forced fumble, or Philip throws the "bad decision" ball under pressure. He could definitely throw the ball away, and improve his footwork (and not all of his throws have been under pressure).. but, the majority of them are when he doesn't have time. They need to give him a cleaner pocket regularly, and more time to throw the ball. It's tough when you have an undrafted rookie free agent blocking the blindside, and always having to use a TE to help block, instead of running a route. This slims down Philip's options, slims down the playbook, and leads to better coverage on our receivers. That, and the other teams defense figures out how to adjust to it by halftime, and there isn't a whole lot more you can fool them with after that point.
We have both Harris getting manhandled on the left, and Clary getting manhandled on the right, and the middle starts to collapse from the extra pressure being generated up the middle. If Gaither could finally fuckin' get healthy, it would solve a lot of this... however, if we lose in Denver, it won't matter. If he gets healthy after that, I wouldn't even bother putting him in. I would cut my losses, put Whitehurst in, and give Harris more experience. Maybe sitting Rivers, after we are out of playoff contention, would make him realize how much standing up for Norv in the offseason really hurt this team. Love #17, but he will have to play a LOT better to live that one down with me. Sitting him might give him time to absorb the gravity of what he did by helping Norv keep his job another year.
RH, Pete, I'm right with you on these points. The O-Line is horrendous. PR can be one of the best in the league with protection. The problem is, so can most QB's. There are only a few in the league that are hard to rattle with pressure.
Coaching, as RH said, is a big problem. Norv is a big problem. My feelings is that he's more of a buddy to everyone instead of being the General in charge. Of course the players love Norv. But the longer this team has Norv as a coach, the worse they get. The "you screwed up but you can get em the next play" mentality may work in Pop Werner but not so much at the professional level.
I really thought we brought in some pretty good free agents in the off-season and my feelings were that we would be a better team. So I am not going to be an AJ hater here. But we are not playing better. We are worse. We get beaten by teams with less talent but far better leadership. And it's a constant. The players can't see it because they all like Norv. Norv is a great guy. They can't see the forest through the trees. Norv is like the teacher that turns his back on the bully in the class. Makes excuses instead of finding solutions.
One more point, Philip Rivers has to stop playing for Norv's job. I think he's trying too hard to make plays and he goes beyond his capabilities, and that's where he implodes. Those too are too close. Hell, Norv is probably the Godfather of Philips last 3 children! Philip needs to start playing for himself and stop playing to "save Norv"!!! They don't have a player-coach relationship. They have more of a buddy-buddy relationship and it's hurting the team.
Right on Jeremy and RH... I couldn't have said it better!!!
I personally thought that letting VJ go and bringing in Royal and Meachum was going to work out, at the time we did that. VJ wanted more than we could pay for one player. A LOT of deals would not have been done if we signed him. For instance, it was a priority to resign Gaither. At the time, I thought it was the right move. It hasn't worked out that way, but I'm not going to fault AJ for that. WE ended up with the Gaither that gave other teams headaches instead of the one that almost saved our season last year! Not to mention bringing in the other players we brought in. I totally think that with better direction from the coaching staff, this team is a 9 or more win team. As a whole, we are not playing up to our ability and that's on Norv.
- Pete Spinning said... Nov 16, 2012, 11:01:00 AM
Great insight Nick! Very well said.
All of the problems seem relatively small / correctable on their own.. but, when you add them all together, it's one BIG mess. Whether it's Norv & PR's relationship, the o-line bordering on criminal, or Philip playing to "save Norv's job"... it all comes back to one common factor. Lack of leadership. If they can't turn it around in Denver this weekend, and capture some consistency. It's time to part ways with the "usual way of doing things".
Damn fine comments Nick...you are spot on and the Godfather comment...sooooooo funny! Huh, I should look into that, could be a controversy brewing - - Ha Ha!
Go Bolts - Donkeys leave Piles on the Fields :)
- Jeremy Meyer said... Nov 16, 2012, 12:10:00 PM
I am sorry to say this about a player but Gaither has been giving us more headaches then should be allowed for a player that was high on the list of players that AJ wanted to resign. The Chargers have the talent, but they need more talent in specific areas. They can have a great QB, great WR, TE, RB's etc but if they do not have the protection to allow those players to succeed it does not matter. That is the problem the Chargers currently have and that needs to change before they can talk about division championships and the goal of reaching a Super Bowl. I am not, going to say win, because they need to get past round 1 before we should discuss getting to the big game.

text: So, I know I went through this not long ago, but I might look into purchasing another guitar. My last one was a failed attempt as the guitar was new, but it had issues. (Probably from sitting in a warehouse during summer and winter months) Anyway, for a long while I was looking at a Fender strat, but it's been a depressing search. I find these Mexican strats to be sub par. Some of them are "ok", but just not what I'm wanting. I would really like a Japanese strat, but they don't export the Japanese strats anymore, and to get a non-export Japanese strat is hard to find, and if you do, they are quite expensive. The American strats in my opinion are clearly better than the Mexican strats, but aren't as well made as the Japanses strats, and dollar for dollar are over priced for the difference between them the Mexican strats. ...there is lies the delima... That said, I have chosen to go in a different direction. I already have an Ibanez (which I am a big fan of) and I really like the one I have now that I have replaced the stock pickups with high end DiMarzio pickups. (PAF neck, HS3 middle, and ToneZone in the bridge) Great sound, places great, has no blimishes, and appears to be of a far better quality than the 2008 model I attempted to replace it with. (it's a Oct. 1997 model) So, when Fender failed, I looked at Gibson, but I'm just not ready for one. A nice Les Paul are very expensive and when I played an SG I actually liked it better than the Les Paul. Still, that didn't do it for me either. I looked at a Schecter and they are nice and feel nice in your had, but the neck gives me a sence of a plastic like feel to it. It just turns me off. I've never played a Dean, so I just can't comment on them. No interest right now in ESP, PRS, or BC Rich. So, I looked at Jackson. Every since I was probably 13 years old, I wanted a Randy Rhoads V, and I decided I still want one. The only thing I'm worried about is the V shape and dinging and the fact that I like to play sitting down sometimes and it won't sit in my lap like a normal guitar. It has to be arched upwards. I want the Floyd Rose locking trem and I don't want that dirty cheap JS series. I want a pro series. Yeah, some people don't like Floyd Rose termelos, but thats because they haven't figured out how to manage them properly. I love them for many many reasons and the whammy bar is probably the last reason. Anyway, this is the one I'm looking at. Jackson Randy Rhoads 3 (RR3) I'm looking at it in transparent blue. The Eerie Dess Swirl is sweet, but a bit to busy for me. Eerie Dess Swirl This is the one I want Transparent Blue Now that is SEXY! My biggest issue is there is a single freaking music store in the area that has a Jackson RR3 in in transparent blue in stock. Not only that, they don't have ANY Jackson RR3's in stock at all even for me to checkout how they play. sigh, that means if I want one I have to buy it online. :bang2: After my last online guitar purchase, I never wanted to do that again. :bang2: :bang2: I could special order it at a local shop, but if I don't like it, they won't take it back as far as I know. I will have to order online from a company that has it in stock and will accept it back if I don't like it. Sigh...the trials and tribulations of purchasing a guitar.

Hartford - Connecticut's two U.S. senators are joining forces with California Sen. Dianne Feinstein and other key senators, proposing a retooled federal ban on assault weapons in the wake of the deadly Newtown school shooting.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the proposed legislation, to be unveiled today in Washington, will more narrowly define what's considered an assault weapon under a resurrected ban. The bill, he said, will also prohibit high-capacity magazines, limiting them to a capacity of up to nine rounds of ammunition.
Blumenthal said the legislation is "one of the most significant" bills to be introduced following the Dec. 14 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School. It also marks the first bill that Blumenthal and Sen. Chris Murphy have worked on together as senators.
"This bill will be a signature moment in providing a profoundly significant step in the legislative strategy," said Blumenthal, adding how final language of the bill was still being drafted on Wednesday. "But it is only a first step and we need to build on it with a comprehensive program" that includes expanded background checks and mental health care.
Robert Crook, a state gun rights advocate and executive director of the Coalition of Connecticut Sportsmen, said assault weapons bans, such as the one in Connecticut, have not accomplished anything.
"All it does is impact the legitimate citizen and has no relevance to crime control and atrocious incidents like Sandy Hook," he said, adding how American gun manufacturers "know how to innovate" and have been able to get around the state's ban.
"What legislators should do - if they're going to do something - they ought to come up with something innovative that both benefits the citizen and doesn't impact the citizen, and benefits crime control," Crook said.
Murphy, whose former House district includes Newtown, contends that a tougher assault weapons ban will save lives. He said the revised ban that's being introduced Thursday will be difficult for manufacturers to skirt and would ban the type of AR-15 rifle used by the shooter in Newtown.
"If this bill had been in effect, there would be little girls and boys still alive today in Newtown," said Murphy, adding how the only inconvenience to sportsmen would be reloading more frequently at shooting ranges because of the smaller magazines.
"This bill is the bread and butter of gun reform," Murphy said. "If you get military rifles and high-capacity clips off the streets, there are going to be less people killed in mass shootings going forward. It's as simple as that."
Blumenthal said the bill defines rapid fire assault weapons in terms of a single feature, such as having a pistol grip or a flash suppressor. Connecticut's ban defines the weapons in terms of having two features.
Murphy and Blumenthal are scheduled to unveil the details of the bill with Feinstein and Sens. Dick Durbin of Illinois and Chuck Schumer of New York during a news conference. Also, U.S. Reps. Elizabeth Esty of Connecticut, whose district includes Newtown, Carolyn McCarthy of New York, a leading voice in Congress in favor of gun control, and Ed Perlmutter who represents Aurora, Colo., where a gunman opened fire in a movie theater last year, are scheduled to be on hand, along with gun safety advocates, law enforcement and teacher organizations, Blumenthal said.
The Dec. 14 shooting in Newtown left 20 first graders and six educators at the elementary school dead. The gunman also killed his mother at the home they shared and eventually took his own life as police arrived at the school.

Billings Tea Party
posted at 8:49 pm on April 15, 2009 by Keemo
Wow, what an exciting event! People from all walks of life gathered in downtown Billings to protest the out of control spending, as well as the breath taking power grab that is taking place by President Obama and the Democrat controlled Congress. The energy at this event put goose bumps on my arms. Despite a combination of snow and rain, a large crowd of all ages gathered for this peaceful Tea Party protest. People driving by in their trucks, cars, and emergency vehicles honked and waived their hands in a show of support. A lovely lady headed up a station where a petition was getting signed by the Tea Party participants, which will eventually finds it's way to the White House. I didn't witness any trouble of any kind, just a huge amount of energy and genuine disgust for the crazy spending and nationalization of American businesses.
The so called Main Steam Media can continue to ignore these Tea Party's, they can call the participants silly names, they can present this story as a bunch of right wing terrorists trying to create a stir for purposes of recruiting… They will not silence this movement, as this movement is not dircted by any political party. This movement is not directed by any Religious organization. This movement is directed by mainstream Americans who are sick and tired of watching the corruption and blame game that has rendered our political establishment as dysfunctional beyond comprehension. Mainstream Americans, not Republicans or Democrats, not the Poor, nor the Rich… Americans of all walks of life have had it with the corruption, the lying, the cheating, the blaming of anybody & anything but themselves.
When the numbers are calculated, the totals will likely be in the millions of American citizens who participated in civil protest on this day. Ignore that media heads, ridicule that media heads… You won't stop this movement, as this movement is something you can't understand. No, you in the media are so far out there, so far away from the mainstream, you haven't a clue as to what this is all about.

Absolutely perfect place to stay in Trapani! Sylvia and Vincenzo are very nice and welcoming. Sylvia speaks English, German, Italian and ever Russian so there is no problem to communicate. In the apartment we had everything we needed (towels, umbrella, blanket, hairdryer, cooking stuff, etc.) and on the first day we also got sweets and breakfast, that was awesome :) Internet access was very good. Thank you very much for a great vacation time in your home!

Meet real life in Sicily, enjoyed a relaxed and cosy stay, very very nice couple, would love to come back!
This apartment is awesome - just in the heart of Trapani. Close to everything - within walking distance.
Very well organized, thought over and practically equipped - nothing was missing in this place. Very cosy and peaceful. You can easily relax up there.
Additionally really nice and helpful owners - gave us any information and advice we needed.
If we go back to Sicily we'll try to book the same place.
Very good location - in center of old city. Nice, clean after renovation, apartment with very well equiped kitchen. Very hospitable and helpful hosts. Maps and tourists brochures about Trapani and region at place. Bicycles free of charge.
Relation price quality - excellent.
Sylvia and Vincenzo - thank you very much.
Eva and Roman
We were in Casa di Giorgio for 5 days and we enjoyed our stay. The appartment was a very nice place to be. Near by nice restaurants , bars, la porta, the station, and other facilities. Sylvia and Vicenzo are very kind and friendly.
Maybe we will come back sometime.
Bye bye Tedje en Dinet
In Casa di Giorgio was everything that we needed during our stay. Place is nice and clean, close to the center center. Sylvia and Vincenzo are very nice and helpful:) we enjoyed our stay in Trapani.
We spent wonderful holidays i Tarpani.
Our accommodation was very nice, comfortable and clean. It was fully equipped and we could use two bicycles, which was very good. We had everything that we needed or even more.
We lived among local people,so we felt the atmosphere of Sicilia.
The localization of the apartment was amazing .
Sylvia and Vincenzo are very friendly and helpful people. If you need, they will devote their time to you. We are very grateful to them.
We fully recommend this flat.
The apartment is small and basic, but in good shape and clean.
The owners are very friendly and helpful. The location in the old part of the city is central and only one street away from the boulevard.
Because of the narrowness of the street there is no nice view and you can't see if it's a sunny day or not. You really have to stick your head out of the window to find out. But the fact that the sun can't reach the windows makes that the apartment is nice cool.
There is a sunny terrace on the roof. Nice to sit there in the evening for a drink or meal.
Sylvia and her husband were great hosts, very friendly and helpful.
The appartment is in a great location and in great condition.
I reccomend it to anyone who is going to Sicily!

Reviews of this property
Beautiful place, kind host, clean room, cost performance...every thing was wonderful for us.
We were warmly welcomed by Kasia and spent 5 great days in her little paradise.
In the morning you will be awakened by bird chirping and you can enjoy your breakfast outside on your patio next to the garden. For your daily programme you can use the very good bus connections or just have a walk on the nearby beach.
It was the perfect start for our Australia trip and we just can highly recommend staying with Kasia!
Very good acomendation.Near to busstop and beach.
Kasia are a wunderfull host. Everything was great. Thanks.
My husband and myself enjoyed Kasia's room and sharing her home. The room was beautifully decorated in green and dark furnishings and offered all the amenities required for a short stay. The location is good it isn't too far to walk to Maroubra beach about 15 minutes or to take the local bus which you can catch on the main road by walking through the park opposite Kasia's house. Getting a bus to into the city centre from Maroubra is only a 10 minute walk and there are plenty of local eating places if you prefer to stay locally. I found Kasia to be a superb host she was accommodating, she provided lots of information and booked a taxi for us on our departure. Highly recommend.
It was an absolute perfect stay at Kasias apartment. It offer all you need to feel comforable and even better. For me, it was the best place I booked on my 3 weeks round trip in Australia and New Zealand.
Everything is very good. Can we recommend only
Alles sehr gut. Können wir nur empfehlen
Very attentive hosts, if necessary Kasia is reached at any time via SMS. The apartment is nice and perfectly adequate with the basics for a city trip - cutlery, plates, sheets, toilet paper, towels. Everything went smoothly. I can only recommend the hotel!
Sehr zuvorkommender Gastgeber, bei Bedarf ist Kasia jederzeit auch per SMS erreichbar. Die Wohnung ist schön und völlig ausreichend mit dem nötigsten für eine Städtetour ausgestattet - Besteck, Teller, Bettwäsche, Toilettenpapier, Handtücher. Es verlief alles reibungslos. Ich kann die Unterkunft nur weiterempfehlen!
We have a son who lives in Sydney, one kilometer from the apartment, the location was perfect for us.
Good that it was so close to the beach and the airport also and that there were various bus connections with the Sydney city center.
We liked trädgården.Uteplatsen was under the roof, which means that you can sit outside even if it rains, which it rarely did during our stay.
Vi har en son som bor i Sydney, en kilometer från lägenheten, så läget var perfekt för oss.
Bra att den låg så nära stranden och flygplatsen också och att det fanns olika bussförbindelser med Sydney centrum.
Vi gillade trädgården.Uteplatsen var under tak, vilket innebär att man kan sitta ute även om det regnar, vilket det sällan gjorde under vår vistelse.
Very nice room, fridge, microwave, kettle available, Very nice uncomplicated landlord, 10 min. to the beach, 30 min. by bus into the city, 15 min. to the airport by taxi, shopping nearby.
Sehr schönes Zimmer, Kühlschrank, Mikro , Wasserkocher vorhanden, Sehr nette unkomplizierte Vermieterin, 10 min. zum Strand, 30 min. mit Bus in City, 15 min. zum Flughafen mit Taxi, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in der Nähe.

Damon Wayans New York-born Damon Wayans was the third of ten children born to a grocery store manager and a social worker and grew up humbly in the Fulton Housing Projects. Dropping out of high school in the ninth grade, he worked various jobs until following older brother Keenen out to Hollywood to seek comedy fame and fortune. Hitting the L.A. stand-up scene in 1982, he toured in national comedy club circuits until earning a regular featured slot on "Saturday Night Live". Damon gained major notice as an alien alongside Jeff Goldblum and future co-star Jim Carrey in Earth Girls Are Easy (1988), as well as in various supporting roles that included Punchline (1988) with Tom Hanks and the grim cop drama Colors (1988) with Sean Penn. Smart-alec superstardom, however, came to him via the TV in the form of the landmark sketch variety series "In Living Color". The show, created and hosted by Keenen, gave Damon a showcase in which he easily broke out among the talented ensemble players with his eclectic gallery of sketch characters including: Homey the Clown and the outrageous film critic Blaine Edwards from the "Men on Film" skits. He was Bruce Willis' partner in the crime thriller The Last Boy Scout (1991); wrote, executive-produced and starred as a former con man trying to mend his ways in Mo' Money (1992), which also featured younger brother Marlon Wayans; expanded his "In Living Color" handicapped superhero character Handiman into feature-length form with Blankman (1994); played an in-your-face drill sergeant in the aptly titled Major Payne (1995); co-starred with Adam Sandler as a cop bringing in a petty crook (Adam Sandler) in the action comedy Bulletproof (1996); joined in the basketball-themed Celtic Pride (1996); and stretched his acting muscles in Spike Lee's comedy-drama Bamboozled (2000). He was also executive producer on "Waynehead" (1996), a Saturday morning animated show based on his childhood that featured the voices of younger sibs Kim Wayans, Marlon and Shawn Wayans. Damon starred and executive produced the sitcom "My Wife and Kids" from 2001-2005. His strongest suit is still considered to be stand-up having been a touring comedian for over 20 years.

Representatives for Novato Community Hospital and the California Nurses Association Tuesday provided widely divergent assessments of nurse participation during the first day of a two-day strike.
"Nineteen were scheduled to work — we're so small — and 12 showed up," said Mary Strebig, a spokeswoman for Novato Community Hospital.
But Mike Brannan, a spokesman for the California Nurses Association, said, "There is no way that number is accurate. They've never put out accurate numbers after one of our strikes. We don't believe anything they say."Brannan provided no estimate of his own.
Janet Urman, one of the Novato Community nurses picketing in front of the hospital Tuesday, said, "I don't personally know of anybody who has crossed the picket lines."
Another picketing nurse, Mary Strange, said, "I think there were one or two."
Wendy Arthurs, an operating room nurse who has worked at Novato Community for 15 years, said she was picketing because she believes some of the contract changes Sutter is seeking would place patients at risk. For example, Arthurs said hospital managers want to be able to assign nurses who have worked a double, 16-hour shift to another shift after just a six hour rest.
"I don't want that nurse taking care of me or my family," Arthurs said.
Currently, nurses at Novato Community are guaranteed 10 hours off after working a double shift before being reassigned.
Strebig said replacement nurses were filling in for striking nurses at Novato Community, as planned Tuesday and no surgeries had been canceled.
"Everything is going very smoothly," Strebig said.
Novato Community is one of 10 Sutter Health hospitals where nurses are staging a two-day strike. The other hospitals are the Alta Bates Medical Center facilities in Berkeley and Oakland, Eden Medical Center in Castro Valley, San Leandro Hospital, Sutter Solano in Vallejo, and Sutter Delta in Antioch.
The strike is scheduled to end at 7 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day; but Novato Community plans to lock out any nurse who participates until 7 a.m. on Sunday. The hospital employs about 74 nurses and most work fewer than 40 hours a week.

I'm adding a few colonies this year and am considering MTC's for their simplicity. I've read prior posts concerning rain seepage and SHB's, but how does the MTC work in this climate? During the winter I could add a piece of foam on top. If the foam rests on the cleats and tar paper is folded over the top, then you'd even have the air space. What are folks' thoughts on this?
Thank you

Coach-firin' season creates strange statistics
Mandatory afternoon reading from Patrick Stevens, who's undertaken a mathematical examination of coaching tenures in major college football in this age of quick-trigger personnel decisions and unearthed some chilling tidbits. Kentucky's skipper, a first-time head coach, is now a relative old-timer? Believe it:
* Kentucky's Mark Stoops, the first hire of the post-2012 season wave, has been on the job longer than 22.8 percent of his fellow FBS coaches. He was hired Nov. 27.Please remove all children, pregnant women, nursing mothers and heart patients from the vicinity before reminding yourself just how long Kirk Ferentz has clung to the head job at Iowa. And before you ask, because you will: We did check, and as of press time, still no quantifiable metrics exist to demonstrate how dumb FIU was to fire Mario Cristobal.
* West Virginia's Dana Holgorsen, promoted in the summer of 2011, has been on the job in Morgantown longer than 54 other head coaches.

Nice thinking! But it's still a box.
You shouldn't start threads when you've been drinking, especially before 9:00am!
I bought hives off a guy in TN who made them that way. Even had modified telescoping tops that created an "awning" over the entrance. He claimed it gave the bees better ventilation, as there was a larger opening than the standard way. I didn't notice any difference myself.

[quote user="Redeyejedi"][quote user="Drez"]
[quote user="gmen46"] Why is it so hard (for me) to believe this? 1) Because what you describe has not been in any media explanation that I have seen. If you have a direct link or reference, I'd love to read it. 2) Because what you describe means that Jerry Jones and Dan Snyder--two of the LAST NFL owners I believe would just roll over and take it up the *** from the NFL--are, in fact, allowing tens of millions of dollars to be taken from them, for NO REASON at all, according to you and ntegrase. I invert your question back to you. Why is it NOT hard for you and ntegrase to believe this nonsense?[/quote]

All the stuff I've said has been in every report on the matter.

The reason why Jones and Snyder haven't done anything is because about the only recourse they'd have is to start an anti-trust suit. They'd spend way more than they'd ever get in a settlement.

And no money is being taken from them, they're just getting deducted cap space and the total value of that space is distributed to all but 5 or 6 teams.

The owners are just pissy that the Cowboys and Redskins didn't abide by their agreement and are now seeking retribution.
[/quote]Its cap space they would of got charged with anyway. They are trying to act above the rest of the teams in the NFL. Skins and Boys fans dont seem to understand if the teams didnt agree to this there would of been total anarchy. The cap would of been meaningless[/quote]
There wasn't a formal agreement. That's what you don't seem to be understanding. The year was uncapped and teams could choose to do as they pleased.
It was a backhand agreement amongst owners. Granted the Cowboys and Redskins 'acted above the agreement' so to speak, but whoever said they agreed to it in the first place? They weren't legally bound to do so, and their actions suggest they never did anyway.
So tell me, based on the rules of an uncapped year, how were the Cowboys and Redskins out of bounds?
Anarchy eh? It's not like the league has been capped forever. I'm pretty sure it survived before the cap and an uncapped year wouldn't ruin the league or create anarchy.

Power restored to Salmon area
BOISE, Idaho - Idaho Power Company reports electricity service has been restored to thousands of customers affected by an outage in the Salmon and Leadore areas Thursday night.
Company spokesperson Brad Bowlin said the problem was caused by a disruption to power lines between Dillon, Montana and Salmon. Because of adverse weather and difficult terrain, a helicopter was used to try to trace the problem.
In fact, he said those helicopter runs along the power line did not find any specific problems. Crews then began slowly reopening breakers to the affected area.
He noted that sometimes a tree will fall across a power line and create an outage. And if the tree falls away from the line, it can reverse the problem.
Power was restored to customers early Friday afternoon.
Because of the outage, South Lemhi School District No. 292 did not hold classes Friday.


text: At the beginning of spring last year, we had three strong TBHs (Bush bees); we had purchased one package in February of 2011 and put them in the hive in April, I think. We moved the hives down away from our house because they had become very aggressive and we felt that they were in a place on our property where there was too much activity and it was bothering them. Our first hive had swarmed a few times, we had collected two swarms to start our other two hives. Everything was going along fine last summer. We had inspected hive #2 and it was going strong when two weeks later, when we inspected, there was no bee to be found in that hive. All of the comb was empty and black. My husband wanted to reuse the comb but I felt that if we didn't know the reason for the abandonment, maybe we shouldn't reuse that comb. We have tried to melt it down for wax and it will not melt. Has anyone had this experience? Then hive #3 got weak as well, so by the end of the fall, we had one very strong hive and one with six good combs with honey. We didn't take any honey to speak of because we wanted to see how much honey they needed to thrive through the winter. Would it have been okay to move the six bars from the second hive into the strong hive that was almost full? We have the 48" long TBH up off the ground on legs about three feet tall.

Train derailment cleanup continues in Sedalia
Highway 67 through town could reopen as soon as Friday night
DOUGLAS COUNTY, Colo. - The Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad continued to work Friday on repairing a damaged section of track where a derailment occurred Thursday in the Douglas County town of Sedalia.
BNSF officials were unavailable to explain what may have caused 17 empty rail cars to jackknife off the tracks at the Highway 67 crossing just west of the Highway 85 intersection.
The rail cars were empty and no one was hurt.
The derailment forced the closing of the Highway 67 crossing, but it could reopen as soon as Friday night, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office said.
Paul Arbini, owner of a motorcycle shop at the crossing, said he saw the derailment as it happened.
"I heard an unusual rumbling," he said. "When I looked up, rail just split everywhere. Luckily the engineer was going slow enough to see what was happening and slow the train down."
At least one business owner said he had lost sales since the derailment because drivers don't want to take the five-mile detour around the derailment site.
The Jarre Mart convenience store on the west side of the crossing received exterior damage when it was struck by wheels and an axle from a rail car.
The possibility of a derailment is what people who live along railroad tracks live with. But Donald Addington, who lives across the street from the Sedalia tracks, said he's not worried about the possibility.
"Yeah, sometimes it bothers you, but you can't just go thinking about what could happen if hazardous stuff spills," he said. "You've just got to live your life and if something like that happens, you deal with it then."
Ashley Ellis, another resident, said the derailment gave her a healthy respect for railroads.
"It's definitely something to think about," she said. "I work next to the train tracks, too. So it could have happened with full cars, and that could have been even scarier."
People came from as far away as Denver to watch the derailment cleanup Friday.


text: One of the troubles in these larger gun stores is the sales people are on a comission. After they get to know you or you have bought from them, their more than helpful. That's if they even know anything about guns. I like to buy at a small shop but sometimes their a $100 bucks higher than the big stores. They just can't compete with them. I have to think about every buck I spend as I am on a fixed income. I can afford a few dollars more but not the big bucks.


text: Derek having a new baby was so happy he took his wife down friday evening to the local jewelry story to buy her something special. After explaining to the jeweler the occasion. The jeweler showed them a $5000.00 necklace. his wife looked it over but didnt seem real excited so Derek asked if he had anything better. The jeweler went to his safe and got a necklace out of his personal collection that he priced at $40,000 Derek seeing his wifes eyes light up said thats the one. He pulled out the checkbook and wrote a check. The jeweler looking at Derek didnt think he was able to cover the check asked if he could hold the necklace until monday when he could call the bank to confirm the check was indeed good. Derek told the jeweler that would be fine. with that he left with his very happy wife in tow. Come monday morning the Jeweler called the bank only to find out he didnt have the funds to cover the check. The Jeweler called Derek to let him know what he had found out. Derek told the jeweler he was aware of the insufficient funds in his account to cover the check but then said. "I bet you would sure like to know about the weekend that necklace got me with the wife.":D

Binghamton University announces new Harpur College dean
BINGHAMTON, NY -- Anne McCall will be the next dean of Harpur College of Arts and Sciences at Binghamton University.
A scholar of 19th-century French literature and, for the past five years, dean of arts, humanities and social sciences at the University of Denver, McCall will assume her duties on Aug. 1, 2013.
McCall said that she enjoyed her interaction with faculty and students when she visited Binghamton's campus in mid-March and is thrilled to be joining Harpur College because of its commitment to excellence in undergraduate education as well as graduate studies and research. "Students in Harpur College learn from renowned experts who care deeply about them. Together they are developing important knowledge about human culture, understanding and our natural world. It's an honor to join this dynamic academic environment."
Provost Donald Nieman said that he is impressed by McCall's breadth of experience at several outstanding institutions, as well as her passion for the liberal arts, broad understanding of the needs of the wide range of disciplines that are part of Harpur College and her ability to think strategically.
"Anne impressed the campus community during her visit," he said, "and I am confident that her understanding of the liberal arts and sciences, commitment to excellence, international experience and strong intellect will enable her lead Harpur and build on its long tradition of excellence."
President Harvey Stenger, who met with McCall during her visit to campus, described her as a good fit for Binghamton. "She is smart and very articulate," he said, "and has the experience and leadership skills that will allow her to work with faculty and students to make a great college even better."
McCall was born in Washington, D.C., grew up in Cincinnati and considers herself a New Orleanian. She earned her bachelor of arts, with "highest distinction," from the University of Virginia and her doctorate from the University of Strasbourg. An authority on the work of the 19th-century French novelist, playwright and memoirist George Sand, McCall is the author of one book and 26 scholarly articles and book chapters, and has edited one book and several scholarly journals. She is completing a book exploring law and literature in 19th-century France.
Before becoming dean at the University of Denver, McCall taught at Vassar College and Tulane University. She is the recipient of Tulane's Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching Award and is a past president of the George Sand Association.
McCall, who lived in France and Spain for 10 years before beginning her professional career in American universities, values international experiences and perspectives. Experiences during and after Hurricane Katrina were important in shaping her understanding of resiliency, solidarity and change. In her spare time, she enjoys visiting her adult children, watching foreign movies and learning new athletic activities, such as cross-country skiing.

Inheritance is the problem of the modern age. Medieval children had only to successfully embody the values of previous generations. Now every person faces the demand to be a self-created individual — to craft and articulate her or his own tastes, values, opinions, and style, and suppress the qualities of soul passed down by our parents. The results are embarrassingly shallow — culminating in the current epidemic of boring conversation, bad tattoos and mustaches, and obsessive use of Facebook.
Thus it is refreshing to encounter an example in which inheritance is handled smoothly — neither with obsessive imitation nor with shallow rebellion. Such is the case at the newest incarnation of Marcy's Diner, the little downtown greasy-spoon that has been around since the 1940s (as "Marcy's" since the 1980s). Having changed hands last summer, Marcy's feels the same, but also not the same. The new owners, Darla and Doug, have taken all the motorcycle memorabilia off the wall, for example. But as they work the grill, within easy view of every seat and booth in the diner's cozy space, they seem like two people who might be into motorcycling if they had the time. Their banter with regulars at the counter is utterly comfortable.
What has replaced all the motorcycle pictures are chalkboards, with the specials spelled out in neat letters with colored chalk. It's a touch of crunchy small-town diner aesthetic, and the specials are the most striking new touch. As a Marcy's long-time waitress noted, "they put some creative stuff up there." One example was a "bread-bottom quiche." The bread was thick enough that it might better have been called "quiche-topped bread." But the bread was light enough to not overwhelm the salty mix of egg cheese and bacon that topped it. This special compared favorably to its existential opposite, a crustless quiche that seemed a bit dainty for its environs. The board also lists home-made muffins, which are served split and briefly grilled. The blueberry muffin was pretty great — not too sweet or cakey, with plenty of fruit.
The heart of the menu is still classic diner food, and the main breakfast combinations give you a lot of food cheap. In this sort of place it's the fried eggs that really show the cook cares, and ours were done exactly to order. Scrambled eggs are a blunter instrument, since it's impossible to achieve delicate curds on a flat griddle, but Marcy's version gives you nothing to complain about. An omelet wrapped a thin shell of those eggs around a big pile of middling spinach. Diced ham and onion gathered on the sides. Some cheese would have held it all together, and we were wrong not to have included it in our order.
The sausage at Marcy's is a step up from the typical chewy diner links — you get something fatter, more tender, and less bluntly salty. The new owners have also upgraded the bacon, which is thicker and has a better mouthfeel. "Homefries" are really hashbrowns of the simple shredded potato variety — a big pile whose brief time on the grill imparts every possible potato texture — from soft and tender to hard and crisp. French toast is simply and nicely done, with a flavor more eggy than sweet. Either the French toast or big fluffy pancakes can be included with your egg breakfast to create a huge meal for less than seven bucks.

Last week I wrote about businesses not following up on their quotations to customers. This week in my business observation from our kitchen renovation series, I'd like to talk about staff selling face to face with your customers. I think there is opportunity for training.
I, being a middle aged women who knows nothing about paint, went to the hardware store to buy white paint for the kitchen. My only guidance was my husband instructing me to purchase one that was water based. My first port of call was a small, local hardware store, not one of the mega stores.
From my point of view, my problem / needs were threefold.
1. Lack of knowledge of paint as a product and the variables.
2. Required something hardy yet suitable for cleaning, wear and tear
3. We were painting kitchen walls and ceiling
The long story shortened to one sentence is when I asked about white paint, there was no questioning. The salesperson only directed me to the cheapest paint. I walked out and next went for the longer drive to the Mitre 10 Mega store. There I was assisted in all three points.
Your takeaway? Your assistants, your clerks are not sales staff that receive training in sales, nor commissions either I would guess. The next time you're talking to your staff about helping customers revisit these three points you hopefully have drilled into them previously. They might have forgotten it as the assistant in the hardware store did.
1. Find what their problem/needs are first
I would have loved the conversation to go like this: 'You'd like water based white paint. What are you planning on painting? Okay things you should think about for the kitchen is x,y,z.'
2. Find what your customer's level of knowledge is
I would have loved him to ask, 'you asked for water based paint. Why? Do you know about the different type of paint that would be suitable for the ceiling and walls?'
Then it would be lovely to have had him explain the different brands and options they had.
3. It's not always about price
If you notice from my three points, price didn't enter into it, yet that was the first and only point the sales assistant was working on. It might have been the main consideration for the customer before me, or after - but it wasn't mine. So teach your sales people to remember not every customer is the same and listen in their questioning if; or when, price comes into it.

Microsoft Looking to Pay Gov. for Extra H-1B Visas, Claims Not Enough Skilled Americans
Tiffany Kaiser

Sender E-mail
Microsoft wants 20,000 extra green cards per year too
Microsoft is willing to
pay the U.S. government for additional H-1B worker visas
, saying there aren't enough skilled Americans to fill its available job openings.
More specifically, it suggested that the government raise $500 million a year by tacking on an extra $10,000 fee for each newly created H-1B visa or $15,000 for each new green card. This money can then be used to offer better education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) for Americans. Microsoft noted that not enough Americans are skilled in these areas to keep up with demand.
In addition to raising the number of visas offered, Microsoft wants the government to give 20,000 extra green cards per year.
H-1B visas allow foreign workers to come to the U.S. temporarily to work in their field. They can renew their visas every three years. Green cards, on the other hand, allow foreign workers to live in the country permanently. Currently, the government offers 65,000 visas a year, but in the past has seen numbers as high as 195,000.
Microsoft is one of the largest sponsors
when it comes to H-1B visas
. Ten percent of its 57,400 U.S. workforce are H-1B visa holders. From 2010 to 2011, it applied for about 850 visas annually for new employees on their very first H-1B visa. In 2011, Microsoft sponsored over 4,700 H-1B workers for green cards.
Many worry, however, that Microsoft is just looking for cheap labor. An issue is that Microsoft and other corporations don't need to prove that there aren't skilled Americans to fill these jobs. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) even warned that there are "inadequate safeguards" that protect skilled Americans from being booted out of jobs for cheaper foreign workers.
"The biggest myth people have is that a company like Microsoft somehow looks to foreign workers as an easy supply to displace American workers," said Karen Jones, Microsoft's deputy general counsel for human resources. "We simply cannot find qualified Americans to fill these jobs."
An analysis of Microsoft's green card applications shows that 25 percent were entry-level workers and 61 percent were a step up as software engineers or marketing managers. Most hold technical jobs, but most also make fewer than six figures while many graduates usually demand over $100,000 annual salaries.
The Seattle Times
"Nowadays, security guys break the Mac every single day. Every single day, they come out with a total exploit, your machine can be taken over totally. I dare anybody to do that once a month on the Windows machine." -- Bill Gates

My bud and I retrieved our first swarm from near his hives this evening.
Its fairly small and was placed into a 10 frame deep with foundation for tonight and a screen over the opening for ventilation.
We are thinking these bees won't survive the winter but are going to give them a chance by placing them into a Nuc.
I brought them home, reversed the inner cover and placed some honey on it that came from his hives till I can start them on syrup.
Am planning to put them into half of a divided 10 frame deep tomorrow morning that has a nuc already started in the other half. It consists of two boxes of 4 frames each on that side
My friend has 6 medium and 4 shallow frames of capped honey that he kept in the freezer as a resource if needed.
Even though it's a deep Nuc, I'm going to place some of the medium frames of capped honey into it and maybe some empty deep frames of drawn comb.
Any suggestions?

text: With the lowest temperatures in several years I have noticed the potholes and heaving from the frost of the roads is just terrible this year.. Digging holes in roads for my work I can tell you the frost(where its been plowed and not snow insulated)is at least 26 inches deep. It actually goes a bit deeper as things start to thaw.. Ive noticed the centerline of my local expressway has got several crevices and some large potholes that if your passing throws the vehicle around. Not good when the roads are a bit snowy..(Yeah I pass on snowy roads:lol How is the town,state, country going to afford all of this damage??? They put temporary cold patch which is very expensive to tempararily fill the hole then have to decide whether the street warrants a new surface when the weather permits.. There are not too many streets this year that look good after this winter IMO.

text: UPDATED 07:12 17th July 2012 Carl Ikeme became a regular in the reserves throughout 2003/04 and was named on the first team bench for seven of Wolves' Premiership matches, as understudy to Michael Oakes, before the arrival of Paul Jones. He was again named as an unused substitute five times during 2004/05, after spending a spell on loan with Accrington Stanley, where he made three appearances. Ikeme spent the first half of 2005/06 on loan to Stockport, returning to Molineux in January. The following season saw him dogged by a knee injury which was the first of a series of problems restricting Ikeme to only a couple of Wolves appearances prior to the 2008/09 season. But his patience was rewarded with his first sustained run in the team making 10 successive starts before being forced off at Sheffield United in November with a hip injury. He was soon back again to vie with Wayne Hennessey for the first team shirt and signed a new contract in December, 2008, keeping him at Molineux until 2012. With Wayne Hennessey and then Marcus Hahnemann occupying first team duties in the 2009/10 season, Ikeme enjoyed successful loan spells at Charlton, Sheffield United and QPR during that campaign, with another at Leicester at the start of the following season. A shoulder injury then required surgery but Ikeme made a full recovery and, after loan spells with Middlesbrough and Doncaster, made the Wolves shirt his own in the 2012/13 campaign.Ikeme played the majority of games as Wolves stormed to the League One title in 2013/14, and then continued his impressive form to become regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the Championship the following year.
