The eighth hotly anticipated book in the Elemental Assassin series by New York Times best-selling author Jennifer Estep.
It's Gin Blanco's party - and you'll cry if she wants you to. Against her better judgment, Gin is coerced into attending a high-society gala with the rest of Ashland's elite underworld. On display: the priceless art collection of her deceased nemesis, Mab Monroe, and an excess of crime-boss swagger.
While not comfortable in her fancy attire, Gin gets vastly more interested in the evening's events when a group of thieves bursts in and tries to seize the valuable, dangerous gems. Facing a Die Hard-esque scenario in which she must free hostage partygoers while herself trapped in the museum, things get a little bit messy when the bloodshed begins. Let's just say that Gin should have chosen the red gown....

5 stars is i love and i will read agani and again. 1 is i hate and i never want to hear about it ever again. YES = :))) - NO= :'(
"Something Different than the usual Jobs"
So i'm not giving anything away, but before the book started i have assumed that its going to be the same thing as usual... She finds someone who is hurting someone, she plans to kill that bad guy, she fales the first time, she heals, then she tries again and kills the bad guy... But noooo ... not in this one.. you have a different place, different plot than usual..
You don't get the usual, and you keep on thinking you know what will happen, but no there are few twists in this book.. some of these twists are predictable and some are not... There are few funny moments here and there, specially in the first few chapters.
Narrator is doing a good job as usual.
I don''t want to give anything away, but lets just say, i would rank this in the top from this series, specially with the change we got from the usual thing... its not completely different than the usual but its new and reminds me of few movies i watched before
Great job here.
"Ho Hum ver 8"
For an accomplished Assassin there seem only to be memories and accounts of botched jobs barley pulled out of the fire by a combination of luck, circumstance and miracle. And the pattern continues.
There is a good amount of well established and well developed characters; a great little world full of variation and colour but it seems that this Authors train is just running back and forth on the same rail with little or no real variation and a lot of incidental repetition.
If you have read book 1 through 7 than you will know what I mean; if not do start at book one as the read is great and only starts being very predictable around book 4 or 5.
"GIN, like the liquor...."
Love this series, love the storyline how it picks right up from the last book. The narrator Lauren Fortgang rock this, her slow southern drawl is perfect.
Hope for another book soon...
"Action Packed!"
4.5 stars. Definitely the best in the series in my opinion.
This book was 90% plot and action, low romance. While I love the romance, this story was well done. Riveting and just entertaining.
Finnegan Lane was invited to an Art Exhibit of the items owned by the infamous Mab Monroe and of course Finn invited Gin to be his date.
First, he wanted to get Gin out the house since she has been moping about her separation with Owen and he was also curious about the items that the dead fire elemental had amassed.
We learned from the prior 2 book that everyone should be weary of any invitation by Ashland's underworld, so I was not surprised at all when a fun gala event turned into a "stick up". A group of Giants had decided that they were through being bodyguards and wanted to run Ashland's underworld now that Mab's death left a vaccum for leadership.
Obviously they made a grave miscalculation by holding the crowd hostage, the crowd including Gin Blanco's loved ones. Nobody messes with Gin's family and gets away with. Watch Gin Blanco get to the bottom of the robbery and also the mystery of who set up the heist and why.
I was just hooked from the beginning to the very end! What a ride. This book was written like an action movie and it was the return to the beginning of the series where love as a side action and Gin Blanco as the Spider reigned as the main plot. Yes, Gin and Owen did talk and lay some things on the table. I also see a future with these two as I love them as a couple. But most of this book was all Gin solving a mystery and while there was just a little of Finn, Owen, Jojo D, Eva, Philip, Rosaline, Xavier & even Bria were just supporting her.
I can't wait for the next installment of what has become one of my favorite series.
"Not my fav but another fun read..."
Gin is a magnet for trouble. Even when Finn tries to convince her to stop wallowing and go to an event with him, drama finds her. Of course it's not surprising that this is an event that will auction off all of Mab Monroe's belongings. It's bound to have shady characters, right? Luckily Gin is always prepared.
Deadly Sting started off differently than most of the Elemental Assassin books. Usually the books start with Gin in the Pork Pit, this book is 80% at least in the same place, the gala event. The gala starts off like any normal ritzy event, cocktails and mingling. Gin and her gut feelings, she kind of knows something is "off". She wasn't wrong. In a very unexpected turn of events Gin is left alone to figure out how she's going to rescue her loved ones without the help of anyone.
My favorite part of this book was definitely having Gin and Owen working as a team together, after she rescues him of course. I think after their recent turmoil this was definitely needed for me. These two aren't a couple again or back to normal, but it was nice to see them in action and remember how great they are together.
Damn it Owen! I seriously hope you redeem yourself in Kiss of Venom, the new novella in HIS point of view. He still isn't the same but I have HOPE! :-) Gin is damn near a one woman show and she prevailed again this time. Not without broken bones, bruises, etc but she got it done. I look forward to hear what else karma has in store for her.
"Another Hit from Jennifer Estep"
I love this series. Just like all the others, Deadly Sting pulls you in and makes it impossible to put down. I'm can't wait for the next book to come out. I literally I think about daily.
"Nobody Wears A Red Dress Better Than Gin Blanco!"
As always, Jennifer Estep delivers an action-packed tale of violence and death. You'd think with that sort of material the story would be gruesome and the characters unlikeable, but not so! Gin is sexy, confident and capable. You just have to cheer for her and her friends. I really enjoy this series and can't wait for the next one! Lauren Fortgang adds SO much to the story with her smoky southern voice. A wholly enjoyable experience!
"I can dig it. . ."
This one was a nice surprise. For once, it didn't start out with Gin gunning for someone. The story was good. It tied up some loose ends. It opened the door for a new big bad. Overall, pretty good. The beginning was a little weird, Fortgang sounded very breathy, almost like she was trying to be sexy (?) at a point in the book where it wasn't needed and it creeped me out a little. She took the normal Gin drawl and twisted it. It went away fairly quickly and all was good after that. It was a nice addition to the series and I can't wait for August and the next one!
"good but getting to be same old same old"
good but getting to be same old same old. love the characters and the world she has created. I'd like more out of the box plot lines.
Reviewing Romance & Urban Fantasy
"Another Solid Installment"
If you have not read Widow's Web there will a SPOILERS in this review.
Red is definitely Gin's color! In each book of the series we see how deadly Gin can be but since she took out Mab in Spider's Revenge she gone a little soft IMO. But she is in full assassin mode in Deadly Sting!
Deadly Sting is different from all the other books in the Elemental Assassin series. The main plot takes place in one night at one location. I've talked the book over with some of my reading buddies and some have said they didn't like this change but I for one enjoyed it.
True we didn't get to see as much of the secondary characters that I've come to love just as but I feel like DS was more about Gin and getting some of her mojo back after the events that have happened to her personal life. And reminding the "crime bosses" in Ashland that the Spider is not someone to mess with.
Gin reluctantly goes to a fancy art showing with Finn. But it's not just any art show but it's a showing Mab Monroe's personal art collection and her will is going to be read at this shindig. All of the big names in Ashland is going to be there, including…..Owen Wilson. But Gin doesn't know it until she is blind sided by seeing him…..with a date.
Oh Owen, Owen, Owen. You cut us, cut us deep.
Just when the party is looking like a boring run of the mill art showing the wait staff start waving guns around and in true Gin fashion she can't go anywhere without having to put on her assassin knives, luckily she has a place or two to hide them under her new red party dress that Finn made her buy.
Gin moves throughout the museum like the deadly, bad ass assassin that she is taking out the bad guys and trying to save her family and friends at are in attendance. For the most part of the action Gin is alone but she's the Spider after all and she can handle it.
One thing I've enjoyed throughout the series is getting flashbacks from Gin's past with her mentor, Fletcher. And we get another one in Deadly Sting. Gin always pulls from the memories to help her when she is in a hard place.
The Clementine, head bad guy, has plans for using Owen in her scheme. Gin works fast to free him before they kill him once he's done. The 1/2 half of the book has Owen and Gin working together to help the others.
"No, we didn't really get a chance to talk about anything. There was just blood, dead giants, and a lot of awkward pauses."

In the 1970's when we first moved out in the country, before we were a Tucson Bed and Breakfast accommodation, our children were very active in 4-H. We had horses, a pony, a pig, a calf, chickens, rabbits, a lamb, dogs, and several goats. Our son milked the goats twice a day, and we even made goat milk ice cream on weekends. The goats followed us around the property like pets, and we had great fun with them. We especially enjoyed the twin babies the goats frequently produced.
When we want to visit goats today, we just walk down the lane to our neighbor Tom DiMaggio who runs Purple Mountain Pack Goats and who has been written up in "Arizona Highways Magazine". We encourage our guests to try the new adventure of goat packing with Tom who takes them on hikes into the beautiful foothills of the Coronado National Forest. The goats pack all needed equipment including water and food. Tom is a gourmet chef who once owned a restaurant in town so guests get a real food treat. He selects the appropriate level of hike depending on the physical condition and desires of those hiring his services. Several of our guests have even gone on 2-3 day camping trip although most choose a half or full day. It is fun not only to visit beautiful areas but to have a knowledgeable guide to explain the fauna and flora of the Sonoran Desert. He sometimes can stop by in his truck, with the goats in the back, to pick up one or two guests for their day's adventure. This makes a nice break from sightseeing and gets visitors into areas they might not otherwise go. Guests can then return to the Hacienda and soak away sore muscles in the hydrotherapy spa.

NIST Open Machine Translation (OpenMT) Evaluation
What is NIST OpenMT?
The objective of the NIST Open Machine Translation (OpenMT) evaluation series is to support research in, and help advance the state of the art of, machine translation (MT) technologies - technologies that translate text between human languages. Input may include all forms of text. The goal is for the output to be an adequate and fluent translation of the original.
The MT evaluation series started in 2001 as part of the DARPA TIDES program. In their current form, the evaluations are driven and coordinated by NIST as NIST OpenMT. They provide an important contribution to the direction of research efforts and the calibration of technical capabilities in MT. The OpenMT evaluations are intended to be of interest to all researchers working on the general problem of automatic translation between human languages. To this end, they are designed to be simple, to focus on core technology issues, to be fully supported, and to be accessible to all those wishing to participate.
Current and Recent NIST OpenMT Activities
The most recently completed NIST OpenMT evaluation was MT09 and took place in June 2009. MT09 featured three language pairs, the second cycle of a progress test, and, for the first time, system combination categories.
Results of past NIST OpenMT and DARPA TIDES MT evaluations as well as resources specific to each evaluation can be accessed via the year-specific links at the bottom.

The Look: Malin Akerman
Want clearer, smoother skin? Facial oil might be your best bet. "The misconception that oils make you breakout comes from the fact that not all oils are created equal," says Victoria Tsai, founder of Tatcha Skin Care. "Inexpensive mineral oils and lanolins are comedogenic, but high-quality oils like camellia, macadamia, jojoba, and squalane are non-comedogenic and can help draw excess sebum from pores. They are also great emollients and can repair skin barrier function."
Hollywood makeup artist Lina Hanson has worked with Natalie Portman and Emma Stone, and counts Ellen Page and Ewan MacGregor as fans of her new Global Face Serum. "Many of my clients insist on using it before a red carpet event," she says. "The oils in it—camellia, mandarin, pumpkin seed, etc.—penetrate into the skin faster than a cream and give a healthy, natural glow." Hanson says she loves botanical facial oils because "they're very high in vitamins and antioxidants and can help prevent the formation of lines and wrinkles. They also have anti-inflammatory properties that soothe the skin."

Will bees draw foundation if they have plenty of stores in the have in late winter(mid March)? Or will I still have to feed them syrup? They still have 4 full frames of honey and honey and pollen around the brood nest as of March 8th.
Will bees draw foundation if they have plenty of stores in the have in late winter(mid March)? Or will I still have to feed them syrup? They still have 4 full frames of honey and honey and pollen around the brood nest as of March 8th.
Beezy -
Not knowing the climate where you live, I can only generalize about this. Bees will not draw foundation properly, regardless of how much stored honey is in the hive, unless the right conditions are in place (brood being raised, nectar flowing or syrup being feed, etc.).
Only four full frames of honey in a hive that probably has 20 frames is not much. That can disappear pretty quick when the queen is laying and brood is expanding. Giving them syrup will not hurt. If it's needed, they will take it, if not, it will remain.
My suggestion is to not put foundation in a hive unless the conditions are prime. You risk having it pulled out irregular at best or chewed on. When the bees are working a nectar flow and the hive is strong, that's the best time.
Friday 11 March 2000 11:49pm EST
Barry is correct about getting best results, less corrective action needed via waiting to put in foundation until conditions are prime. When you pull out brood frames and end up with nectar on your boots as you tip them to look at them that is the time to have them draw foundation. That means nectar is coming in pretty well to real real well.
IF the colony wintered as a single deep and still has four frames of stores and has contact with stores that ain't bad. Of course if it wintered as a four frame nuc it started out with something under four frames of stores (but not much under) and it surely doesn't have that much left. IF it was wintered in Double Deeps, Triple Deeps, Triple Mediums, Quadruple Mediums and they have just four frames of stores left - well that ain't good and like Barry indicated they can walk through that much in a half a heartbeat when they are rearing brood in earnest which unless you live considerably further North than I - they should be doing NOW.

Scanning for missing Microsoft patches
Trend Micro shows a computer is missing 3 security updates. I log into the computer, check Automatic Updates, and it's configured to run every night at 3am. I run Windows Update and there's no updates pending. I install Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer 2.2 and scan the machine: 27 security updates missing, 3 service packs or update rollups are missing.
I can see how Trend Micro may differ in scanning a Windows machine for patches that are or aren't installed, but I can't explain the difference between Windows Update and Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer showing such varied results. Especially after reading this from the MBSA 2.2 download page:
Built on the Windows Update Agent and Microsoft Update infrastructure, MBSA ensures consistency with other Microsoft management products including Microsoft Update (MU), Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), Systems Management Server (SMS), System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) 2007, and Small Business Server (SBS).
Anybody have any ideas I'm trying to get a patch management system implemented here, but the varying results from Microsoft tools themselves isn't helping my case much haha.

Put aside those 20 and 50-over lotteries. The core memory of the upcoming series against England will be whether New Zealand shows starch against an all-powerful England in the tests.
England might be ranked No2 behind South Africa but it hardly mitigates the task for New Zealand after capitulations in Cape Town and Port Elizabeth. The limited overs lead-up matches are sure to provide captivating contests.
The reality is those matches will be tapas to the main courses in Dunedin, Wellington and Auckland.
Bear in mind New Zealand only has one series victory in 17 at home over England. That came in 1983-84 when Jeremy Coney, Martin and Jeff Crowe and Ian Smith made their maiden test centuries and Sir Richard Hadlee topped the bowling averages with 12 wickets at 19.33. What would New Zealand give for five test centuries and a Hadlee-esque performance off the short run in March?
England, with their established spine of captain Alastair Cook, Jonathan Trott, Kevin Pietersen, Matt Prior, Graeme Swann and James Anderson, are entitled to swagger. They have just completed a test series victory (2-1 over four tests) in India, the first in 28 years. What's more, they had a new captain and came back from 1-0 down.
But maybe a swagger is unwise. England came to New Zealand as favourites in 1978 only to draw the series. New Zealand won their first test against the motherland at the Basin Reserve when England were dismissed for 64 in the second innings.
Former test bowler Jonathan Agnew has seen more live England cricket than most after 21 years as BBC cricket correspondent. He says this side are in their pomp.
"They've beaten India in a series at home. That is almost the ultimate accolade, a remarkable achievement for any side, which should send a shiver down Kiwi spines [New Zealand has failed to do that in 10 attempts]. The series proved Cook's credentials as a captain; and the captaincy didn't affect his form [he averaged 80.28, including three centuries].
"Kevin Pietersen is also in form [average 48.28 in India] and has been genuinely accepted back into the team.
"The attack is looking fit, apart from the injured Tim Bresnan. New Zealand will have their work cut out. They'll have to fight hard to avoid a clean sweep."
One area under watch is the second opening role, currently filled by Nick Compton. The 29-year-old replaced Strauss in India for his debut test series. He averaged 34.66, passing 50 once but with four innings between 29 and 37.
"He's not settled yet but he had several solid innings against India. He grafted pretty well. He worked [batting coach] Graham Gooch hard with his work ethic in the nets. Joe Root has also done well and is another option. He debuted at No6 in the final test at Nagpur but has grown through the grades as an opener."
Agnew also paid tribute to Matt Prior who played a key role resolving the Pietersen controversy when it was alleged he sent texts to the South Africans describing ways to get England players out. Agnew says not only is Prior the best test wicketkeeper/batsman in the world but he has galvanised the team.
"He's outspoken, lively and brash as a person but his behaviour in ringing Pietersen to take the situation by the scruff of the neck was typical."
Former test batsman Clive Radley made his debut in New Zealand 35 years ago. He missed the Wellington loss, debuted in Christchurch and scored 158 in his second test at Auckland.
He spent five years as a player/coach in Auckland from 1979 and was head coach at Lord's Nursery from 1991 to 2009.
Radley says the key observation for him will be the development of Root and Compton.
"Root is a quality player, he appears to have the right attitude and acquitted himself well in India [73 and 20 not out in his only test].Compton was a flamboyant batsman when he came on the scene at Middlesex after arriving from South Africa to go to Harrow School but he's changed into someone who can occupy the crease for long periods.
Radley says it is still an important tour for Cook to cement his leadership. "He has earned a lot of respect for his performances in India leading the test side for the first time. The players seem to regard him highly, but having a good side around helps. England can't take things for granted in New Zealand. I know the wickets have probably changed a bit, but I know how hard it can be to bat there at times."
Daniel Vettori has played in the last six test series against England. He was man-of-the-match in the most recent victory at Hamilton in 2008. An Achilles tendon injury is expected to rule the 34-year-old out of this series but, ever a student of the game, he has kept close tabs on what makes England successful.
"England have won plenty of series away from home the last few years [England have won three of their last four and last lost in the West Indies almost four years ago].
"Bouncing back from that first test loss to India showed character and they have seasoned veterans like Swann, Pietersen, Cook, and Bell who make such occurrences no fluke. In fact, they're incredibly balanced across all formats at present. I'll also be keeping a close eye on how James Anderson performs.
"The attack as a whole, most likely with Steve Finn and Stuart Broad added, will be interesting to observe but Anderson's performances swinging the ball in New Zealand conditions will be pivotal. He was a huge reason they won last time in combination with Ryan Sidebottom."

Instant messaging (IM) is the quickest and easiest way to communicate online with friends and coworkers. However, IM is also an increasingly popular way for cyber criminals to distribute worms, viruses, and Trojans, and to commit fraud. Hackers like to target IM because they can use network ports that are already open for the IM client instead of having to open suspicious new ports.
Today, sophisticated multi-faceted attacks are launched through IM as frequently as they are through email. Hackers exploit operating system and browser vulnerabilities to deliver malware like Trojan keyloggers and screen scrapers that steal personal information, and to turn PCs into hijacked "zombies" used to commit crimes.
Password-stealing Trojans allow criminals to pilfer a user's logon information and impersonate them using a man-in-the-middle attack. If the IM protocols don't encrypt network traffic, the hacker can slip messages into an existing IM chat session and pretend to be the victim, causing embarrassment and the opportunity for fraud.
See below for the top 10 rules to use to help keep you and your family safe when instant messaging.
Cyber criminals exploit IM's user-friendly features and find potential victims simply by choosing from an updated directory of buddy lists. The cyber criminals also receive a notification each time their victims' computers are online.
The risks don't end there. IM networks also support transfer files and use peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing, making them vulnerable to malware hiding in files. With these weaknesses in mind, hackers use IM to gain backdoor access to unprotected PCs that run P2P. In this scenario, a Trojan typically modifies a computer's configuration settings to share all files on its hard drive—logins, user IDs and passwords, Quicken files and credit reports, chat logs, emails, and medical and tax records. This can put a family at great risk.
A hacker can also cause a Denial of Service (DoS) attack on an IM client by flooding a particular user with a large number of messages to slow down or crash their machine. Most IM clients protect against DoS attacks by allowing the victim to ignore certain users; but in the midst of an attack, it may be hard to get out from under the flood of messages to ban the sender.
Consumers can protect themselves from viruses, worms, and Trojans delivered through IM. By following some basic rules, it's easy to keep these threats from slowing you down.

The choir's repertoire featured 14 selections, including songs in English, Latin and Spanish and a solo by Jim Munns, minister of music at Pulaski Heights Baptist Church and an adjunct music instructor at Pulaski Tech.
The concert was dedicated to the late Dr. Ryan Chadwick, who chaired the Fine Arts Department. Beloved by her students and fellow faculty, Dr. Chadwick helped lay the foundation for the college's music and choir program. She died in June 2005 before the choir had gotten off the ground.
"Dr. Chadwick wanted to see a music department started," Dr. Milton Lites, choir director, said. "So we are dedicating this holiday concert to her because it was one of her dreams."

Thinking about moving a few hives into an 80 Acre Meadow of blooming Red Clover, However dont know how HoneyBees and Red Clover mix, Would someone advise whether this would be feasable or not. Thanks for any Help Lou
It's my understanding that honeybees cannot get the nectar from red clover. You need white clover.
For pollination purposes
or for honey?
Several website say that adding bees
to red clover definately increases
the pollination aspect but I could not find
any references to gathering honey.
Pollination Information
[This message has been edited by The Honey House (edited May 10, 2003).]
Red clover
Trifolium pratense
Flowering: Five million flowers per hectare; 200 million florets per 0.4 ha. On average a honeybee visits 800 red clover flowers per hour (New Zealand).
Hives per hectare: 3 to 7; 3 to 15; two colonies per 0.4 ha (USA).
Nectar production: Requires several days of over 22°C before flowers begin to yield nectar. Volume ranged from 40 to 44 µL per inflorescence.
Honey production: 100 to 200 kg/ha. Honey is water white, very sweet, no flavour and granulates within two months of extraction. Pollen can be abundant and colour is brown.
Review of bee pollination benefits - red clover:
77 to 89 per cent of the flowers pollinated by honeybees (New Zealand).
70 to 80 per cent increase in seed production within 500 m of apiary.
24 to 82 per cent (average 62 per cent) of flowers were pollinated by honeybees.
72.5 per cent increase in seed production with native bees and honeybees.
For variety Redquin, increased yields of 42 per cent were obtained (NSW).
Red clover flowers are deep and honeybees have trouble gathering nectar (Diploid and tetraploid varieties differ in length of corolla - tetraploid varieties generally have longer corollas).
Red clover pollen collection increased by 5.2 times following sugar syrup feeding to beehives.
50 per cent reduction in seed yield when beehives were 122 to 183 m from the crop. Seed yield was negligible at 640 m (USA).
Honeybee pollination gave an advantage of 37 kg/ha of seed.
Red clover yields declined when apiaries were more than 0.8 km distant. http://www.agric.wa.gov.au/programs/...spolln.htm#red
i've seen bees work what is called here medium red,but not the giant red clover.
That's what I like about beekeeping-you learn something new all the time!
I have also seen that my black AMM (Apis Mellifera Mellifera) bees don't take to the clover like my other bees. They have shorter tongues.

Thanks to all for Info
Decided to place 2 hives at pond near center of Red Clover and see what happens. Again thanks Lou

Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora was benched late in the 2009 season, and says he won't stand for that treatment again.
"I'm not going to be a backup player, I can promise you that,"
Umenyiora said on WFAN Wednesday. "I'll stop playing football before I do that ever
again. . . . So for me it's not something that I'm going to do. If I'm
asked to come back there and do that then I'll just stop playing
an idea: play football better. Become a player the team couldn't
possibly take off the field. All coaches want to do is win; they
didn't think Umenyiora was good enough to play every down. Umenyiora
thought his time with the team may have been up.
"I felt like I had worn out my welcome, because for certain people, no
matter what happens, they'll never take them out of the lineup, you
understand what I mean?"
Umenyiora hopes things can be resolved and Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News writes
that the team has no plans to trade or release him. We simply can't
buy that Umenyiora will quit, and pass up his salary no matter what
role he's in.
Money never seems to be too far from the surface
in these disputes. Umenyiora talked about getting a pay raise back in
2008. Since then, he's missed a season with a knee injury, and had a
rocky 2009. He's frustrated.
Obviously, he's not getting a pay raise right now. The only way he can get one in the future is to play ball again.

Ideally it would be nice to establish a running game of course, but if it doesn't work the first TWO series, I want to see the offense abandon the run game and just chuck it with Eli.
Anything inside 10 yard line, PASS on every down, I don't want to see god damn Bradshaw sneak one in running to the corner pylon only to lose 2 yards.
No more 1st and 2nd down running plays, I'm fed up with watching it never work.
But in reality I'm sure Gilbride will call more run plays to "surprise" the Bucs D, oh that would be hilarious, not. It'll probably end up like 6 points in the first half and losing to the Bucs 17 - Giants 12 on another failed late come-back attempt.

anyone else love Mickey Doyle?
Also, can anyone explain the situation with the italian boy and the whole heroin situation they are running.
On January 17, 1919, the Eighteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, and Prohibition lasted until the amendment was repealed in 1933. The Amendment prohibited the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages. As there was still a substantial demand for alcohol, this provided criminals with an added source of income.
By 1921, Luciano had met many future Mafia leaders, including Vito Genovese and Frank Costello, his longtime friend and future business partner through the Five Points Gang. Also in 1921, Brooklyn gang boss Joseph Masseria recruited Luciano as one of his gunmen.[11]
At some point in the early 1920s, Luciano left Masseria and started working for gambler Arnold "the Brain" Rothstein. Rothstein immediately saw the potential windfall from Prohibition and educated Luciano on running bootleg alcohol as a business[12] Luciano, Costello, and Genovese started their own bootlegging operation with financing from Rothstein.[12]
Rothstein served as a mentor for Luciano. In 1923, after ruining his reputation in the criminal community with a botched drug deal, Luciano went to Rothstein for advice. Rothstein told Luciano to buy 200 expensive seats to the Jack Dempsey–Luis Firpo boxing match in the Bronx and distribute them to top gangsters and politicians. Rothstein then took Luciano on a shopping trip to Wanamaker's Department Store in Manhattan to buy high end, classy clothes for the fight. The strategy worked, and Luciano's reputation was saved.[13]
By 1925, Luciano was grossing over $12 million a year; however, he was netting only about $4 million each year due to the costs of bribing politicians and police. Luciano and his partners ran the largest bootlegging operation in New York, one that also extended into Philadelphia. He imported scotch whiskey from Scotland, rum from the Caribbean, and whiskey from Canada. Luciano was also involved in illegal gambling.
On November 2, 1928, a bookie shot and killed Rothstein over a gambling debt.[14] With Rothstein's death, Luciano quickly pledged fealty again to Masseria.
Rise to power
Luciano soon become a top aide to Brooklyn crime boss Giuseppe Masseria. In contrast to Arnold Rothstein, Masseria was an uneducated man with poor manners and limited management skills. By the late 1920s, Masseria's main rival was boss Salvatore Maranzano, who had come from Sicily to run the Castellammarese clan activities. This rivalry eventually escalated into the Castellammarese War, which raged from 1928 to 1931 and resulted in 60 mobster deaths.
Masseria and Maranzano were so-called "Mustache Petes", older, traditional mafia bosses who had started their criminal careers in Italy. They believed in upholding the Old World Mafia principles of "honor", "tradition", "respect", and "dignity". The Mustache Petes were not willing to work with anyone who was not Italian or Italian-American, and were even skeptical of working with anyone who was not Sicilian or Sicilian-American. Some of them refused to work with anyone who did not have roots in the same village as they did. Luciano, in contrast, was willing to work with Jewish and Irish gangsters if there was money to be made. For this reason, he was shocked to hear traditional Sicilian mafiosi lecture him about his dealings with close friend Frank Costello, whom they called "the dirty Calabrian".[15]
Luciano soon began cultivating ties with other younger mobsters who had begun their criminal careers in the United States. Known as the Young Turks, they chafed at their bosses' conservatism. Luciano wanted to use lessons he learned from Rothstein to turn their gang activities into criminal empires.[16] As the war progressed, this group came to include future mob leaders such as Frank Costello, Vito Genovese, Albert Anastasia, Joe Adonis, Joe Bonanno, Carlo Gambino, Joe Profaci, Tommy Gagliano, and Tommy Lucchese. The Young Turks believed that their bosses' greed and conservatism were keeping them poor while the Irish and Jewish gangs got rich. Luciano's vision was to form a national crime syndicate in which the Italian, Jewish, and Irish gangs could pool their resources and turn organized crime into a lucrative business for all.[17]
In October 1929, Luciano was forced into a limousine at gun point by three men, beaten and stabbed, and dumped on a beach on Staten Island. He somehow survived the ordeal but was forever marked with a scar and droopy eye. The identity of his abductors was never established. When picked up by the police after the beating, Luciano said that he had no idea who did it. However, in 1953, Luciano told an interviewer that it was the police who kidnapped and beat him.[18] Another story was that Maranzano ordered the attack.[19] Other stories cited a jealous boyfriend and robbers. The most important consequence of this episode was the press coverage it engendered, introducing Luciano to the New York public.
[edit]Power play
In early 1931, Luciano moved to eliminate Masseria. The war had been going badly for Masseria, and Luciano saw an opportunity to switch allegiance. In a secret deal with Maranzano, Luciano agreed to engineer Masseria's death in return for receiving Masseria's rackets and becoming Maranzano's second-in-command.[20]
On April 15, 1931, Luciano invited Masseria and two other associates to have lunch in a Coney Island restaurant. After finishing their lunch, the mobsters decided to play cards. At that point, Luciano stepped out to go to the washroom. Four gunmen – Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel, Vito Genovese, Albert Anastasia, and Joe Adonis – then walked into the dining room and shot and killed Masseria and his two men. Luciano then took over Masseria's gang and became Maranzano's lieutenant.[20]
20s cover of clapton or did he cover it?
I'm sure Nucky was pretty nervous as well
Hey Supa, good rehash of history, but I'd hold back a bit considering the details in here that most likely foreshadow the plot.
3. Harrow is a principle killer. When referring to Jimmy he said "Jimmy was a soldier. And he lost." He's a complicated and flawed character but he's loyal. Joining with Nucky is probably not something he's consider. His main objective seems to remain loyal to the Darmody (sp) household.
4. Eli is due for a resurgence. Maybe not in his former role but he will play a major part by seasons end. For better or worse for Nucky.
I thought they killed off Jimmy because of bad blood on set. Doesn't look like that's the case.
Agreed on Eli, wasn't he in a cop uniform in the previews for next week?
Agreed on Eli, wasn't he in a cop uniform in the previews for next week?
I saw that too. Also, there was a guy yelling stop that sounded like his voice, then there's blood dripping into the basement or bunker or whatever Nucky was in.
is michael shannon the most useless character ever?
Yep. Totally wasted character imo.
Well not totally. His wife got naked, but otherwise yeah, he currently sucks. But there's got to be a good reason they're keeping that storyline going.
Yep. Totally wasted character imo.

Pooch hooch: Bend beer-lover creates doggie 'brew'
'Dawg Grog,' booze-free beverage, a big canine hit
BEND, Ore. - Daniel Keeton loves his dog, Lola Jane. The Bend native also loves beer, serving it up daily in Boneyard Brewery's tasting room.
Since Lola shouldn't hop up on a bar stool and share a beer with her owner, Keeton decided to make Lola her own doggie brew.
"She's never walked away from it," Keeton said Sunday.
In fact, she usually licks the bowl clean.
After Keeton saw how much Lola liked his concoction, he decided to market it to other dog lovers.
Taking an off-leash route, the entrepreneur launched his company, Dawg Grog ,in July. His first retail customer, Visit Bend, signed on in December.
"Two things that have become part of the Bend lifestyle are beer and dogs," said Visit Bend CEO, Doug LaPlaca. "So to create something that would take advantage of the two we thought was a brilliant idea."
The 16 ounce bottles of Dawg Grog sit for sale near 22's of local beers at Visit Bend.
LaPlaca says for many people it's their first time seeing anything like Dawg Grog, which does make for some confusion.
"Initially, people have to look at the label twice," he said. "Then they ask us, 'Is this really for dogs?'"
Keeton wants to make it clear there's no alcohol in his organic brew. It's a simple mixture of low-sodium vegetable broth, water, spent grain from Boneyard Brewery and glucosamine.
Dawg Grog can be served over dry dog food or by itself as a treat -- but customers are already finding new ways for their pups to lap it up.
"A couple of my friends who just acquired a puppy are making ice cubes out of it, and it's helping the puppy with teething," said Keeton.
Lola is proof, you may have to cut your dog off from the Dawg Grog -- as her wagging tail signals Keeton to pour her round after round.
Dawg Grog is sold at Visit Bend, and Muddy Paw's on Bend's west side. You can also buy it online at www.dawggrog.com. A pack of six 16-ounce containers will run you $36.

Galaga Legions DX wasn't the best Xbox game on Windows Phone. In fact, I named it as one of the five worst Xbox games of 2012. But still, it was that very rare thing: an exclusive Windows Phone game from a major publisher that never showed up on other mobile platforms (though it originated on Xbox 360). I even managed to get all of Legions DX's Achievements and write a guide for them.
You'll notice I speak of Galaga Legions DX entirely in the past tense; that's because it was delisted from the Windows Phone Store within the last few days. That makes it the fourth Xbox Windows Phone game to disappear this year. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12, Tower Bloxx New York, and 3D Brick Breaker Revolution were all delisted in January. Only three new Xbox games have made it to Windows Phone in 2014, so we're actually one down for the year.

Christian Dior Fall 2012
It's a reasonable bet that if you conducted market research about what the image of Christian Dior means to most women—aside from Charlize Theron, J'adore Dior, and the makeup—two results would come back as house signifiers: a tailored, peplumed jacket and a swirly-skirted skirt. As for color? A soft dove gray. Monsieur Dior himself imprinted that awareness on the public, and Bill Gaytten's ready-to-wear collection felt like a quiet re-endorsement of the brand's DNA today.
It was done without any grand gestures or vintage leanings and was shown on a stripped-back gray set. Nominally inspired, according to program notes, by the Dior houndstooth-check tailoring and a notion about ballet dresses, Gaytten sent out a lineup centered on a mid-length skirt with a belted jacket and a neat-waist dress with a full skirt flaring into knife-pleats. The ballerina reference registered, though only subliminally, in block-toe platform shoes.
From the point of view of fashion, there were none of the indicators trend-hounds are hunting in this season's shows: no oversize jackets, no puffers, no play on the sexy bourgeois, no eye-popping print or exuberant surfeit of decoration. But then again, drawing back to the perspective of what most women—and their husbands—think about fashion, there are many who just won't get, or even care, about joining in with the insider agenda. For them, Dior's fall collection, with its rational emphasis on the wearable and simply pretty, will provide a safe, timeless, fashion-neutral haven for shopping. The clothes, if not assertive headline-grabbers on a runway, photograph well, especially the plissé chiffon and the black dresses with sheer inserts for evening: pieces on which a woman will be able to stamp her own personality in a season when many houses haven't been catering to that need.

Health Beat: Gut bacteria: The secret weapon to weight loss?
NEW YORK - More than one third of U.S. adults are obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Now, we're learning what could be a major factor when it comes to how much you weigh.
Dr. Sue Decotiis said there's now proof as to why her patients are successfully shedding pounds.
"Now, we know that this really works," said Decotiis, medical weight loss specialist and internist, NYU Medical Center.
A new study reveals that gut bacteria may help determine whether a person is fat or thin.
"It's one of the many factors that are involved in obesity," Decotiis said.
Researchers said they took bacteria from human twins — one overweight and the other thin — and transferred it to mice. Mice with bacteria from a thin human stayed thin and mice with bacteria from an obese human gained weight
"The whole study is fascinating because we're learning that we can really prove that there is a difference," Decotiis explained.
Decotiis said she's already been altering the gut bacteria of her patients to help them lose weight by prescribing medicinal grade probiotics.
"It contains a lot of species that perhaps you don't have if you're obese, so that is the purpose of giving it," Decotiis said.
Toni Castellucci said she's following Decotiis' program.
"I really was concerned about achieving optimal health and physical well-being," Castellucci said.
Castellucci said she went from a size 12 to a four in three months.
"It works for me," said Castellucci, who expects to go back in the field for the second time with the Peace Corps at age 72. "It has reset my, not so much my goals, but my expectation for myself. I can do it."
Castellucci said that recent study is convincing, but the bottom line isn't just about weight. It's about feeling healthier.
Decotiis said many things in our environment contribute to gut bacteria, like long-term use of the birth control pill, hormones in food, junk food, and chemicals in the environment.

Town Square
Gear Up Your Ride: The Grocery Getter
Original post made by Janet Lafleur, Rex Manor, on Jul 25, 2013
My friend Katie works in the bicycle industry, which means she has all the hottest performance-oriented bicycles: sleek road bikes, plush mountain bikes and a custom cyclocross bike so hot it made the rounds as a display bike at trade shows internationally. What she didn't have was a practical bike for errands.
But she did have an old 1990s mountain bike in the back of her garage. With a little work and the same cost as two trips to the gas pump we gave her old bike a new life as a grocery getter. First, we pumped her tires, checked the brakes, and lubricated the chain (just like I wrote about on May 24th) and wiped the bike down for good measure. Then we replaced her worn saddle with a spare she had on hand, and rode a couple of miles to her local bike shop to get geared up. She chose a rear rack, grocery-specific panniers and a kickstand which we installed ourselves in less than 30 minutes. Total cost was about $120.
We took a quick trip to the grocery store to test out her new set-up and found a new route through the neighborhood on the way back. Katie was thrilled. "I live within 2 mile of all the stores I need: Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, coffee, restaurants, the farmers market, so doing errands by bike makes sense," she explained. "Panniers rock."
If you're thinking of setting your bike up for groceries or errands, here are some gear options to consider:
Rear racks support loads over your bike's rear wheel, making for a stable ride. Most attach to the frame near the rear wheel axle and to the seat stays, the frame area just below the seat.
Panniers are bike-specific bags that attach to racks. Touring panniers are designed to be more aerodynamic and weather-proof for long trips, while boxy open-topped panniers like Katie chose are convenient for quick stops and shorter trips.
Baskets are usually mounted on the handlebars but can also be attached to a rear rack. Handlebar baskets are great for keeping things close at hand, like purses and small pets. Having weight on the handlebars affects steering more than when the weight is on the back, so be careful with a heavier load.
Elastic straps work well when you have an odd-shaped object or a few too many items to carry. The best ones are flat instead of round with two or three straps emerging from a single hook at each end, but I also keep micro-sized bungees on my bike just in case.
Kickstands are handy for making quick stops on errand runs and almost required when you're carrying groceries on your bike. It's a lot easier to load up when you don't have to balance the bike too.
Bike trailers can carry far bigger loads than a bike alone. I use my cargo trailer when I'm buying the big stuff like 30 rolls of toilet paper at Costco, or when I want to buy more than three bags of groceries in one trip. Note that they're less stable when empty. I learned the hard way.
More Tips for Selecting Gear
* When you go shopping for bike gear, ride your bike to the shop or otherwise take your bike with you. You want to make sure what you buy will fit your bike.
* Start small like Katie did. You can always add a front basket or buy a trailer.
* Make sure your racks, panniers and baskets don't block your front or rear lights.
Tips for Shopping by Bike
* If you're worried about buying more than you can carry, shop with a hand basket instead of a grocery cart. You can also test packing your items in your bags before you check out.
* During grocery checkout, either pack your bags yourself or expect to repack them at your bike. If you're pinched for space, try removing some unneeded packaging.
* Realize that if you can't pack it all, you can return items. I've had close calls, but I've always squeezed it in.
* To keep frozen food from melting, pack the cold items together and put them in a small insulated bag.
* With a heavy load, you may have to shift down a gear and may find can't sprint for the light as easily. Take it easy.
* If you have multiple shopping stops, you can either bring the bags with you into the second store or take a risk and leave them on the bike, preferably covered. I've taken risks and never lost anything.
Is your bike set up for carrying groceries or other loads? What's the biggest item or load you've carried?

Remember that bike theft is rampant at supermarkets since thieves assume you will be in the store for more than a few minutes. If your local store does not already have secure bike racks, ask them to install them, preferably not hidden in a back alley where thieves can work out-of-sight. Use a good hardened steel lock, never a cable lock which is easily clipped with hand tools. Leave room in your grocery bag to take the lock home with you. Fortunately, you're not traveling very far, so the weight of the lock is not important.

Yes, bike theft is always an issue so it's important to lock up securely. It is really annoying when there's not a proper rack to lock up to which is why I avoid shopping at stores that don't have good racks.
The good news is that here in Mountain View, most stores have good racks, like Trader Joe's and Safeway at San Antonio Center, Safeway on Shoreline and Whole Foods on El Camino. I'm sure there are many more. These are the ones I use most.
If your favorite shop doesn't have a good rack, it does help to ask. My friend Jeri asked Sprouts to improve their rack (it was too close to the wall) and they did.

Ava's back door faces a public parking garage on Bryant. That garage has the newer upside-down U style bike racks that work well for securing my road bike's frame and front wheel with a U-lock.
The Fresh & Easy and the Safeway on Shoreline each have that kind of parking on both sides of their entrances. (In the F&E's case, one in that little walkway, the other by the Starbucks.)
Piazza's and the new Sprouts on Rengstorff are not as good. They have the older style long rack with a top bar that is too low to get my wheel under. (I use the ends instead when I can, or put my whole wheel over the top bar otherwise.) And Sprouts had a "Boar's Head" dining table blocking the bike rack yesterday. I moved it out of the way. I should have complained but was a bit confused at the time. (I thought "Boar's Head" was a restaurant next door or something. It's actually Sprouts's own deli.)

Can we all ask the manager of Nob Hill to improve their bike rack, or at least move it so that bikes don't block the sidewalk when using the rack?
I usually lock my bike to the gas main behind the rack to keep the walk way clear.

@Shapely Legs Ah, you're hit on one of my pet peeves. Putting the racks where the bikes will block people walking makes the bicyclists look rude when it's an issue with the rack. If you haven't made a formal request with the manager, I would. I've seen it work before.

Janet: I know, right? I see people sneer at the bikes perpendicular to the sidewalk as they try to step around. I want to say "Its not the bike rider's fault, complain to the store who put the rack there."
I've also seen people "push through", bending the bike over or out of the way with their shopping carts, so avoiding using that rack helps pedestrians and saves my bike from damage.

Investigate the graphs of y = [1 + (x - t)^2][1 + (x + t^)2] as the
parameter t varies.
In this 'mesh' of sine graphs, one of the graphs is the graph of
the sine function. Find the equations of the other graphs to
reproduce the pattern.
Sketch the graphs for this implicitly defined family of functions.
Two functions $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ were plotted on the same axes, where
f(x) =\left(\frac{a}{x}\right)^x\quad \quad g(x) = b\exp\left(-\frac{(x-c)^2}{d}\right)
I chose the coefficients $a, b, c$ and $d$ so as to make the function $g(x)$ match $f(x)$ 'as closely as possible' for points past the maximum of $f(x)$. My resulting charts were as follows.
Is it possible to approximately work out the values I chose? Can you choose values to obtain a closer match between the two?

Washington, DC: An imperial capital on the Potomac
The region has performed even more impressively on the jobs front. Since 2001, Washington has enjoyed the lowest unemployment rate of its peer group. Over the course of the entire decade, it ranked second in job growth, trailing only Houston. That wasn't just because of the federal agencies and gigantic contractors of Washington stereotype. The region has also been a hotbed of entrepreneurship—much of it, to be sure, dependent on federal dollars. During the 2000s, it had 385 firms named to the Inc. 500 lists of fastest-growing companies in America, according to Kauffman Foundation research—by far the most of any metro area. From 2000 through 2011, according to rankings developed by Praxis Strategy Group, Washington's low-profile but powerful tech sector had the country's second-highest job growth, after Seattle's. The region is also one of America's top life-sciences centers. …
All this intrusion emanates from the legislative and especially the regulatory machinery in Washington. The city has become, in effect, the Brussels of America. So a wider and wider variety of businesses and organizations must be located there to lobby the government that decides their fate. (According to the Center for Responsive Politics, total spending on lobbying rose from $1.6 billion in 2000 to $3.3 billion in 2011.) These firms pay local taxes. So do their workers, who also buy houses, patronize stores, pay tuition at private schools, employ local doctors and lawyers, and so on. The regulatory superstate is turbocharging Washington's local economy.
This new basis for prosperity could pay huge dividends to the region. The model here might be the defense industry, which has already centralized many operations in the area. Northrop Grumman, for example, recently moved its headquarters from Los Angeles to Washington. Boeing shifted its headquarters from Seattle to Chicago to be closer to defense operations and customers in Washington. Other industries, such as health insurance, may follow suit. Even if they don't relocate to D.C. entirely, they'll need to be represented there. City Journal contributing editor Joel Kotkin has speculated that "when everything from zoning [to] the location of industrial plants and healthcare is under Washington's control, the capital could conceivably even emerge as a challenger to New York's two century reign as the country's most important city." The mere fact that such heresy can be uttered illustrates Washington's new power.


text: I got one for Christmas a few years ago and have yet to have a single problem. I wanted one simply because the design is similar to the Desert Eagle which I always wanted to own but it is just not practice. This was a nice compromise. I did not feel the same with the feel of the grip so I put a Hogue slip grip on and now it is perfect. Congratulations and good luck with it!

Martina Hingis
Martina Hingis turned pro at age 14 and quickly became one of the dominant tennis stars of the 1990s. In 1997 she nearly completed a rare Grand Slam, winning the Australian Open, the U.S. Open and Wimbledon and losing only in the French Open finals. Intensely competitive and a clever shotmaker, Martina Hingis was ranked #1 in the world in women's singles in 1997, 1998 and 2000 and by the end of the year 2000 she had career prize winnings of $15 million. For a time she was part of a high-profile doubles team with fellow teen sensation Anna Kournikova. In 2002, Hingis battled ankle injuries, and in 2003 she announced that she was retiring from competitive tennis. However, she unretired three years later, making her official return to professional tennis on 2 January 2006 in the Australian women's hardcourt championships. She retired again in November 2007 after announcing that her urine sample had tested positive for cocaine at that year's Wimbledon tournament. (Hingis denied playing under the influence of the drug, but said "I have no desire to spend the next several years of my life reduced to fighting against the doping officials.") She was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2013.
Martina Hingis's mother has said that Martina was named for tennis star Martina Navratilova… Martina Hingis was born in Slovkia (then Czechoslovakia) but moved to Switzerland in 1987 after her mother remarried… During her days at the top of the tennis rankings, Martina Hingis had a few much-publicized feuds with the Williams sisters, Venus and Serena.

Is python needed? Bash enough?
My questions: I know Bash Programming and I'm wondering, is it really needed to pick up Python to have no problems in the course? Can you easily succeed with making your scripts in bash instead of using Python ?
If needed and I get some confirmations from people here I'll just heads down Python until I get the docs on Saturday.

You guys think the Giants beat them had they beat SF last year in the playoffs?
I also hate Brees pre-game chant. He made me laugh when he yelled that they "own the division"! Really? Atl was 10-1 & NO,5-6, but they owned the division? Talk about being in denial.
We owe that team such an a%^ beating that if TC starts running the ball with us up by 14+ , I will go beserk! NO & NE are the 2 most merciless teams in the NFL when it comes to running up the score on teams & embarassing them. We need to return the favor & stomp them 47-10!
Last year the Saints were going for passing records by running up the score. I remember they threw a touchdown pass with under 2 minutes to go against Atlanta to get Brees one of the passing records.
We didn't get the first down either, I was agitated because I wanted to see us above 40, and a field goal would have been fine.
Not the actual Man, Myth, Legend....Just a Giant fan since birth, I come in peace
TC did the right thing.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.

Laissez les bons temps rouler!
Being that I currently live in the heart of America's Mardi Gras region, I figured I'd share with you this special celebration.
Many Americans know that Mardi Gras — on February 13th this year — is the last hurrah before entering the more austere Lenten season. And that it's the kissing cousin of the Carnivales that are celebrated in many other parts of the world. There's a pocket of America along the Gulf of Mexico coastline that embraces the Carnivale-season-styled rituals and traditions, and I encourage everyone to learn more about it. Many people envision the scenes on Bourbon Street, usually involving women lifting their shirts in hopes of getting some beads thrown down to them from the balconies.
Yes, Mardi Gras is full of imbibery and debauchery, but there are many aspects to Mardi Gras that are so much more elegant. Here's a primer on some of the less-known Mardi Gras traditions.

Farewell to a true great
It was with great sadness this morning that the club heard of the death of Peter Broadbent – a man regarded by many as the greatest ever to don the old gold and black.
Peter, who was 80 years of age, had been battling with Alzheimer's disease for several years.
He joined Wolves from Brentford for a fee of £10,000 in 1951 and was a focal part of the great team of the fifties that dominated English football winning three League Championships and, in 1960, the FA Cup.
As an inside forward he contributed 145 goals from his 497 appearances for Wolves before his final game on Boxing Day 1964, ironically, the day that another great, Dave Wagstaffe, who died in August, made his debut.
Peter Broadbent's skills were much loved by supporters. He had tremendous ball control and had the all too rare talent of being able to shimmy with the ball.
Fans who watched him play talk of how he could leave a defender on the seat of his pants by a drop of the shoulder and that the crowd watching behind the goal would lean the wrong way too.
Phil Morgan whose superb match reports adorned the pages of the Express and Star from the end of the war until 1972 was once asked who he considered the greatest Wolves player from all the stars he had watched over the years.
His answer was instant and unequivocal – "Broadbent" – a sentiment that will in all probability be echoed by those lucky enough to have seen him play and, given the calibre of the team-mates that shared the field with him, a compliment of the highest quality.
To Peter's charming wife Shirley, and the rest of his family, the club offers its deepest sympathy.
* A further tribute to Peter, pictured on the left, will follow.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Upon Arrival we have been changed to another appartment, but with the same facilities and also close to the city centre. I was big enough and clean with all the facilities we need. The location was great and we didn't have any Problems.
Me and my family spent one week in this apartment and we had a great time there. It is very well located, with stores nearby where you can get everything you need in case you don´t want to spend so much money eating outside. The rooms are big and confortable and the people who manage the apartments always willing to help or provide anything you need. We will never forget our stay there. Thanks very much!! María
Highly recommended. It's agency with many apartments, very professional and resourceful. Upon arrival we were informed that our apartment had been damaged and were moved to a larger one. Change without paying more. Upon arrival we saw that the TV did not have USB and changed us for another very fast. I recommend it without any doubt, very friendly and professional. They have in the office with a person who speaks Spanish, not met but is very useful.
Right in the centre of town. Easy walk to everything. Big apartment. We (me, wife and 18 year old son) were very comfortable. We parked our hire car out of town for 3 days then caught a tram back to the apartment.
Apartment very well located a few blocks from Plaza the historical center, quiet street so you can sleep well.
It has enough amenities to make any breakfast or dinner on days that have made some Excursion do not leave apatece restaurant. It also has Placha, TV, WiFi and a small kitchen with refrigerator, microwave, cutlery dishes, etc ..
The bed is comfortable and spacious, the bathroom recently renovated has ducha.secador hair, towels.
Overall compared to other options in the environment I think it is a combination; quality, location and excellent price.
Apartamento muy bien situado a un par de calles de la plaza del centro historico, calle tranquila por lo que se puede descansar bien.
Cuenta con las suficientes comodidades para poder desayunar o realizar alguna cena en dias que por haber realizado alguna escursión no te apatece salir de restaurante. Tambien dispone de placha, TV, wifi y una pequeña cocina con nevera, microondas, platos cubiertos, etc..
La cama es cómoda y espaciosa, el cuarto de baño reformado recientemente dispone de ducha.secador de pelo, toallas.
En general comparando con otras opciones del entorno me parece que tiene una combinación; calidad, situación y precio excelente.
The appartameto is located in the main street of the center, is very large and we found it clean so far so good, the problem is that they forgot to say that we must do without acsensore 4 floors and 2 luggage, a controls, a passseggino and 3 children 2 to 5 years c''è been some problems, the matrimoniane bed in the loft is laid directly on the wooden floor and assure that the mattress springs create some problems, the sofa in addition to a few holes and is the less, has several spots of dirt and meleodorante.
L'appartameto si trova nella via principale del centro, è molto ampio e l'abbiamo trovato pulito fin qui tutto bene,il problema è che si sono dimenticati di dire che bisogna fare 4 piani senza acsensore e con 2 bagagli,un trolli,un passseggino e 3 figli da 2 a 5 anni qualche problema c''è stato,il letto matrimoniane nel soppalco è posato direttamente sul pavimento in legno e assicuro che le molle del materasso qualche problema lo creano,il divano oltre a qualche buco ed è il meno,ha parecchie macchie di sporcizia ed è meleodorante.
The actually rented apartment was not obtainable due to an accident. Uncomplicated was a similar apartment in the city center (Florianska) offered. There, the nights are of course very noisy as it is located almost at the party mile. All in all, everything went well, eventful days in a wonderful city.
Die eigentlich angemietete Wohnung war leider aufgrund einer Havarie nicht beziehbar. Unkompliziert wurde eine vergleichbare Wohnung im Stadtzentrum (Florianska) angeboten. Dort sind die Nächte natürlich sehr laut, da man sich quasi auf der Partymeile befindet. Alles in allem hat alles gut geklappt, erlebnisreiche Tage in einer wunderbaren Stadt.
The appartment is located in a very good place because
Is into the old city and near the old square. The problem
With this appartment is the four large floors that we must
Climbed by foot with our bagages and the kitchen has no
Windows and there aré no living room.
We enjoyed our stay in cracow very much!! Th city ia really great and tanks to the apartement we could really enjoy it. The place was perfect for five people. Very big bathroom and it`s location is perfect. It is next to the big market place where all the sightseeing must sees are located! So we can really recommand this apartment!
A major deficiency was that we did not get the apartment we have booked over the Internet.
The replacement unit was indeed located sufficiently large and central.
Unfortunately, over a beer house where until well after noon eight loud live music was made so that only could sleep, who had the day completely exhausted.
Ein großer Mangel war, dass wir nicht die Wohnung bekommen haben, die wir über das Internet gebucht haben.
Die Ersatz -Wohnung war zwar ausreichend groß und zentral gelegen.
Leider gegenüber einem Bierhaus, wo bis weit nach mittagnacht laut Life Musik gemacht wurde, so dass nur schlafen könnte, wer sich tagsüber völlig verausgabt hatte.

I'm a straight white american male and I've lost out on 2 state and 1 city job in the last year because of affirmative action.Can I sue for discrimination or unfair treatment?I doubt it,I'd probably be locked up for a civil rights violation.

It's insanely rampant in large corporations, especially in the Defense Industry, since you're bidding/working on Govt contracts. Gotta do things the government way. My company is slowly becoming just like the fed gov. So many rules and regulations now that the mechanics can't hardly fix the planes. It used to be the job was #1, and everything else was incidental. Now following the Osha rules, corporate rules, state rules, and govt mandated procedures for defense contractors is all job #1, and actually working on the planes, is all incidental. It's insane.
I have lost out on jobs before because they hired based on affirmative action. Most recently was 2006 when I was passed over for a management position the company had been grooming me for for about 4 years. I was the "Deputy Manager in Charge of Air Force Programs" on a military C-9 program. When my boss took a position at another facility, I was the #2 man, and was supposed to slide straight into his position. All kinds of letters of commendation/recommendation, including a letter from the outgoing manager stating that I was the best fit to be his replacement. I had also been involved with the program for over 10 years at the time, plus about 18 years with the company. Then all of a sudden they hire a black guy from OUTSIDE the company, who had never dealt with fixed wing aircraft in his life, only military helicopters. He was in no way shape or form my equal, especially when comparing resumes, but they still hired him. I was so pissed off, I couldn't see straight for a month.
Hey Bill, how's that African Space Program working out?? LOL.
Enforcement, NOT Amnesty!!!!!!
"If theyre going to come here illegally, apply for & receive assistance through a corrupted Government agency encouraging this lawless behavior, work under the table & send billions of dollars each year back to their families in Mexico, while bleeding local economies dry, protest in our streets waving their Mexican flags DEMANDING rights, while I have to press 1′ for English, then they need to be shipped back to where they came from!" -Chad Miller
That sounds familiar.There's nothing worse than having someone who knows less than you tell you what to do when you know he doesn't know what he's talking about.Except maybe when they tell you to do something the wrong way or when they screw up and blame you for it.
Ah you guys are to young.. I remember the 1950s when they rebuilt the minorities housing projects..
Took them about 2 years to dump garbage out their friggen windows and crap in the streets.. Friggen animals..
Welfare.. Belieive it or not endorsed by hitwit.. Good way to control people.. Give them just enough for drugs booze and something to eat..
It really works, till he came up with better ideas. No it was not just Jewish people he got rid of..
Damn problem is, were running out of money for people to pay for it..
Next plans Nappy. Whats up Bro???

What would happen if I had a White Entertainment Television station? Bomb threats, shut down by FCC, etc. And don't say it already exists as CMT either....lol.
A white man can't be proud of his race or heritage because its being racist. If I point out that whatever neighborhood the mexicans take over; they turn into the same disgusting ghetto they moved away from in mexico; I'm a bigot or un-sensitive to the fact they had no other choice but to live that way in mexi-hell.
But it's cool for those other ethnicity's to wave their flag in blatent disrespect of OUR Independence Day, not try to assimilate into our country, and be bios against Americans in general.
