Which Chargers Holdout Is Of Most Concern?
Of all the debatable topics with the Bolts this preseason, perhaps the one that fans would rather not address is the most pressing issue of all. With the looming holdouts of both left tackle Marcus McNeill and wide receiver Vincent Jackson, which of these two star players will be missed the most from the Chargers starting eleven on offense?
On the surface, this question may appear to have a relatively easy answer as just how big can the loss of one offensive lineman really be to an entire unit. That question gets substantially more complicated when you take into account the fact that the offensive lineman in question is 6'7" 336lbs. and protects the team's near $100 million quarterback's blindside. McNeill's steady play was one of the bright spots on an offensive line that was devastated by injuries and upheaval in 2009. His potential replacements in veteran Tra Thomas, versatile second year player Brandyn Dombrowski, and second year project Tyronne Green don't really have the consistency that a team with Super Bowl aspirations would hope for as the season quickly approaches.
Clearly V Jack and Philip Rivers developed quite a rapport last season with Jackson's emergence as the go-to receiver in crucial situations for the Bolts offense. Receivers come and go in the NFL however as has been demonstrated time after time with a breakout year immediately followed by a descent into oblivion for many in seasons past. Fortunately for San Diego, Rivers is excellent at picking out the open receiver rather than keying on one player in particular which allows him to spread the ball around to a bevy of different players. The organization feels that they have more than enough capable players in house to make up for Jackson's holdout during the coming year and it appears on paper that they are correct.
Whether it be Malcom Floyd who is expected to take on the number one receiving role or Legedu Naanee who has a wealth of potential to become a dynamic playmaker in the Bolts offense, San Diego has no shortage of candidates to become Rivers' go-to man this year. Of course the squad still has the all-world tight end Antonio Gates as a terrific safety valve for Rivers to utilize in hot route situations when staring down the barrel of the blitz so his presence will help to neutralize the absence of Jackson as well once the season gets underway. The Chargers other two tight ends in Kris Wilson and Randy McMichael will each offer something to the team's offensive attack as well giving more versatility to go from a running to passing formation in the blink of an eye.
Fans have to be excited about the all-around game of undrafted free agent pick up Jeremy Williams who looks like a valuable option both at receiver and as a return man for the team this season. His ability to climb that ladder to make catches combined with his willingness make difficult grabs over the middle of the field will be a true asset to the team as the season progresses. He could also emerge as the team's slot receiver should Buster Davis fail to seize the opportunity this year.
What the Chargers have to hope will be the biggest aid in offsetting Jackson's absence is the new-found presence of a running game with rookie Ryan Mathews toting the rock this year. Mathews did nothing in the first preseason game but build the hype for what he may do when the regular season rolls around as he bowled over would-be tacklers and showed outstanding open field speed. That added dimension will be a huge addition to an offensive attack that at times last year became one dimensional due to an ineffective ground game.
All in all, it seems like the absence of McNeill is of much more concern than Jackson not being with the team this season. If Rivers doesn't have time to survey the field and pick out an open target then it won't matter who is running pass patterns. In a perfect world the two sides would come to a compromise, but if that were anywhere on the horizon one would think that some indications would have been by now at least. This stalemate could very well last the entire season and the Bolts just have to hope that Dombrowski, Green, or Thomas are up to the task of protecting Rivers' blindside.
So what do the fans think, which holdout is going to hurt the Bolts more, Vincent Jackson or Marcus McNeill? Can Malcom Floyd, Legedu Naanee, and company hold down the fort while Jackson is out or will the Bolts offense sputter? Will Philip Rivers survive the season without his blindside protector on the field or will Brandyn Dombrowski falter? Weigh in with your comments below!

Personaly I am more concerned about "McStud". Yeah Jackson is a guy
that would be great to have as a target...I like his game but there
is no room for his antics. If we really want to go to the Bowl can we get this guy on board? I question his maturity after last years blow-up on game day. Rivers is the key,everything we do revolves around him,if you ask me and ya did so deal...
The value of the left tackle is undeniable in this league. Wide outs have a lot to contribute as well and hunger gives Legadue has leg up on you Jackson so be smart...
trade the drunk for a left tackle
McNeill is more important than Jackson. Sure, Jackson is one of Rivers' favorite targets, but Rivers still has this guy to throw to. You may have heard of him. His name is Antonio Gates, and if he keeps up his career averages for few more seasons, he will be the best receiving tight end of all time in terms of career receptions, yards, touchdowns, and yards per reception (the latter being far and away the best ever). Throw in Floyd, and SD still has a serious receiving corps. If you project Floyd's numbers over a full season and give him as many targets as VJ, his stats are almost identical to VJ's. If Ryan Mathews can restore the running game, that will only help the passing game, making Vincent Jackson's absence even less important.
McNeill, on the other hand, protects Rivers' blindside. If Rivers goes down, the Chargers are done. Volek is one of the best backups in the NFL, but he is not a starter. On top of that, McNeill plays a huge part in the running game. Jackson is an above average blocker in the running game, but he's nothing special in that area. Pro-Bowl LTs don't grow on trees, and missing McNeill will hurt both aspects of the offense.
Chargers should have signed both players to Long Term Contracts.
Lighting 72
i wouldnt say that mcneill is a GREAT run blocker. maybe the guy who steps in is better there and hopefully good enough in pass protection.
and what is it with VJ being important for the run game? i mean he is a wideout. maybe one out of 20 times will a WR-block make a real difference on the outcome of a run.
no doubt VJ..top 5 receiver and on the rise...
The fact that the Chargers are allowing VJ talk to other teams & not McNeil makes it clear who is more important to them. Chargers even tried to renegotiate with McNeal's contract earlier. I luv VJ but have u heard his demands? a 5-year deal for about over 10 million per year & 30 million gaurunteed, this seems high for a guy that jus had 2 DUIs & suspended the 1st 3 games of the season. McNeal is one of our best linemen & never had as much off-field issues as VJ did. I'm a realist & kno this isn't the Chargers year srry "( but I honestly think we can get back into Contending nxt year. We brought Ryan Mathews to revamp our run game & we can bring out a new young WR to help our passing game like AJ Green, Julio Jones, or Terrance Toliver. I luv VJ but, if u ask me we keep McNeal & trade VJ "(

from the top.
VJ; what he brings to the field is a lot more that pass catcher. he's proven he can stretch the field and make catches in triple coverage. that leaves everybody underneath in man or wide open. why? with VJ teams have to game plan for him. after all that is what norv wanted, to stretch the field, make room for the underneath stuff and the run game. without him, teams will play the run double gates and force the PR to make a new star at wideout.
with that said......
MM; stretching the field becomes more difficult without this guy. you'll need to protect PR longer to let the play develop. if the plan is to bring an extra TE of RB to help block, that is defeating the whole purpose of stretching the field and opening up the running lanes. teams know we had one of the worst run offenses in 09, and on more than a few occasions mathews had to bounce outside to make any gains, in preseason. my point being if we had MM we could move Dumbrowski to RT and have Green back up MM. freeing up the TE and RB to do other things in the passing game and moving those safeties and LB off, to cover the middle.
if it's either, or? then i say MM is more valuable to the team. he keeps PR upright, to make those throws down the field. and the line doesn't need extra help in pass protection.
peace out

You are here: Home > About Yarra
The City of Yarra was created in June 1994 following the Victorian Government's restructure of local government.
The new municipality merged the former councils of Collingwood, Richmond, Fitzroy (including North Carlton), and Northcote (Alphington and Fairfield, south of Heidelberg Road only.)
The Wurundjeri-willam people of the Kulin Nation are the Traditional Owners of the land that is now known as the City of Yarra and Council recognises them as the custodians of the cultural heritage of this land. Yarra, particularly Fitzroy and Collingwood, continues to be an important meeting place for Aboriginal people in Victoria. Read more about the Aboriginal History of Yarra.
Yarra's suburbs have a rich and varied history which is reflected in the city's built form, natural environment and diverse community composition. In the early years, Yarra was more industrial and was home to many iconic Australian brands such as Fosters Brewery, Heinz and the Rosella Jam and Sauce factory. Over the years the industrial focus has shifted to a more residential and retail mix as the population and demand for inner city living has increased. As a result, many of the former factories have now been converted into highly sought after warehouse and studio apartments.
Today, Yarra boasts more than 230 hectares of open space. It is renowned for large historical gardens particularly Edinburgh Gardens in North Fitzroy and Darling Gardens in Clifton Hill. The Merri Creek and Yarra River, which form two of Yarra's boundaries, have adjoining linear open space reserves which are highly valued by residents of Yarra and wider metropolitan Melbourne for their recreational and nature conservation values.
Yarra Council welcomes new residents. Here is a checklist of things to things to think about if you are considering moving to Yarra.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I think all the other patterns people did including babeyruth are all stunning and I am just trying to do something that will play nice with all of them. This sure has become a beautiful row quilt I hope I can do the other rows justice by adding something pleasing. I do have to modify the original pattern to make it fit and work, as the original was 16 inches big.
I 'll try and see if I can get the row posted.

Do your cows like almond hulls? If so, then don't give up any room in the commodity barn, because even more of them are going to be available this year than last.
by Dennis Halladay, Hoard's Dairyman Western Editor
USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service says 2012 will make it three record almond crop years in a row in California, which produces virtually all of the almonds in the U.S. and accounts for over 40 percent of the world's export supply.
Continued abundant supply of almond hulls is good news for dairy producers who have access to them, since their high energy, fiber and digestibility allows hulls to be used to replace some alfalfa hay. With corn and soybean prices soaring this summer, hay prices are likely to be dragged upward, as well.
The latest NASS almond report predicts California's 2012 crop will be 2.10 billion meat pounds (shelled). That would be the largest crop in history, barely breaking the record set last year.
Dramatic growth in the size of California's almond crop has been fueled by an explosion in worldwide demand for the nuts that does not appear to have been met yet. It has also created a land rush of sorts to plant new orchards.
California's first billion-pound almond crop occurred just 10 years ago when an estimated 590,000 acres of trees were in production. The 2012 total is estimated at 780,000 acres. Industry experts say in order for the crop to reach 3 billion pounds, total acreage would need to increase to nearly 1 million.

An Overview of Crixivan (Indinavir)
August 23, 2013
Brand Name: Crixivan
Indinavir can cause serious, life-threatening side effects. These include kidney problems, rapid breakdown of red blood cells (hemolytic anemia), and possibly liver problems.
Contact your health care provider right away if you have any of the following symptoms:
While taking indinavir, it is important to keep all of your appointments with your health care provider.
What is indinavir?
Indinavir is a prescription medicine approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of HIV infection in adults. Indinavir is always used in combination with other anti-HIV medicines.
Indinavir is a type of anti-HIV medicine called a protease inhibitor (PI). Indinavir works by blocking protease, an HIV enzyme. This prevents HIV from replicating and lowers the amount of HIV in the blood.
Indinavir does not cure HIV/AIDS. It is not known if indinavir reduces the risk of passing HIV to other people.
What should I tell my health care provider before taking indinavir?
Before taking indinavir, tell your health care provider:
How should I take indinavir?
Indinavir comes in three strengths:
Take indinavir according to your health care provider's instructions.
Take indinavir capsules every 8 hours around the clock, every day. Take indinavir with water (or other beverage such as skim or nonfat milk, juice, coffee, or tea) at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. Or you can take indinavir with a light meal that is low in calories, fat, and protein. Drink at least six 8-ounce glasses of liquids (preferably water) throughout the day to reduce the risk of kidney stones.
Always take indinavir in combination with other anti-HIV medicines.
If you take too much indinavir, contact your local poison control center (1-800-222-1222) or go to the nearest hospital emergency room right away.
For more information on how to take indinavir, see the FDA drug label from DailyMed. (DailyMed is a federal website that includes the most recent drug labels submitted to FDA.) Toward the end of the label is patient information for people taking indinavir..
What should I do if I forget a dose?
If you miss a dose by more than 2 hours, wait and then take the next dose at the regularly scheduled time. If you miss a dose by less than 2 hours, take the missed dose immediately. Then take your next dose at the regularly scheduled time. Do not take more or less than your prescribed dose of indinavir at any one time.
What side effects can indinavir cause?
Indinavir can cause serious, life-threatening side effects. These include kidney problems, rapid breakdown of red blood cells (hemolytic anemia), and possibly liver problems. (See the WARNING above.)
Other possible side effects of indinavir include:
Tell your health care provider if you have any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away.
These are not all the possible side effects of indinavir. Ask your health care provider or pharmacist for more information on possible side effects of indinavir.
How should indinavir be stored?
Where can I find more information about indinavir?

The Talk of the Town on Cape Cod
Town Crier Motel • Eastham, MA
Escape Kit

- Full-Day Bicycle Rentals for Two

The Destination
It's easy to get hooked on Cape Cod, Massachusetts's curling headland known for boutique shopping, clam bakes, and landscapes that inspire the same smooth sentimentality as the subjects of an oil painting. These 400 miles of lighthouse-laden shoreline play host to a "Cultural Coast": Presidential vacation spots, whale-watching in Hyannis, windsurfing at Nantucket Sound, and trendy shopping in Provincetown. Be they writers, golfers, or summer-ers, everyone's a fisher, so seafood is always a staple on the menu.
The Digs
Not only is the Town Crier Motel centrally located in Eastham, on the Lower Cape, where guests are within minutes of shops, restaurants, and the National Seashore, it also features a host of on-site amenities, from a large indoor pool to a game room with ping-pong and billiards. In the morning, start your day at the motel's casual poolside restaurant, serving made-to-order eggs, hash browns, pancakes, fresh fruit, and more. Accommodations are decorated in classic Cape décor, equipped with private entrances, and appointed with a king or two double beds, a flat-screen TV, a desk with a chair, and a microwave and refrigerator.
The Diversions
First, pick up a pair of bikes using an included 24-hour rental for two at The Little Capistrano Bike Shop, then set off on your adventure. You may have two days, but you'll only need a minute to fall for the Cape's iconic lighthouses and the National Seashore. The quaint shops, restaurants, and the chance to spot a whale or two will give you plenty to write home about. After exploring the area, head for Arnold's Lobster & Clam Bar for a delicious lobster dinner for two (included as part of the package for guests who stay between June 25 and July 19).
"This was a great place to stay for our trip to the Cape. It was right near a local beach on the bay, and there was a restaurant right next door. Convenient location, about a half hour outside of Provincetown and right in the middle of the Cape itself."-- Hotels.com

This will be interesting.
Please keep the thread updated so we can follow along.
I got an incomplete PKT kit from century last week, it has all the main components for a gun, the bolt & carrier, trunnion, feed cover and pawl, back plate and sear housing. plus some misc other parts. best of all it was cheap!!
I am making a bbl out of a 1919 bbl, so far I have it chambered in 7.62 x 54R and fitted to the trunnion and shrunk on a sleeve for the gasblock. I still need to cut the locking lug. once the bbl is fitted I will make up a receiver from plate and set it up with a set of spade grips to make some sort of franken gun belt fed.
This will be interesting.
Please keep the thread updated so we can follow along.
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
Uh huh! Sounds fascinating! Please update.
I have a daughter. I tell her, "911 is what you dial after you're raped. 1911 is what you should have before they try."
What is the rear barrel diameter where it slides into the front trunnion? I picked up a PKT kit from GunBroker and am considering using a Bren barrel. The PKT trunnion has an ID of 1.180" and the back of the Bren barrel has an OD of 1.168". (dial caliper measurements) The Bren diameter might be in the range that some heavy chrome plating would bring it up to specs.
the 1919 bbl is big enough to turn down to fit the trunnion, you can turn down the bren bbl and sleeve it to make it big enough. also the rear diameter on the trunnion is smaller than the front. the kit is at the shop, I will measure it tomorrow.
I have a reamer if you need to have the bbl rechambered.
Those tricky devils!
I didn't think to check both ends of the trunnion. It's tapered shape is like a morse taper on a lathe. I think I will be sleeving the bren barrel and cutting a taper to match the internal dimensions. The is no clearance between the parts because of the taper.
I would still love to find out the measurements from an original PKM barrel. If anyone has one handy, please measure the OD at both ends of the receiver/barrel mating surface as well as the distance between the ends. That would give us the taper from an original PKM barrel. Then it can be compared to these PKT trunnions to see if they are identical.
I also realized tonight that a ring collar should be pressed on ahead of the taper to mate up with the two prongs extending from the front of the trunnion. They must be there to ensure the barrel is orientated correctly before the barrel lock is engaged. Cool engineering!
Thanks Pirate! I finally got home and got to clean things up. I can see that small step down in diameter in the trunnion. I still wonder what clearance you used between the barrel and the trunnion.
I was going to drag this thing out today, but got diverted by phone calls and other projects. I will take some photos and measurements monday and post them.
The bbl is a fairly tight fit, it slides in with no play. I am figuring out the cuts for the bbl lock right now. once that is done I can finish the chamber and move on to the gas system.
if anyone is interested I have the last 2 kits on gunbroker now. if a gunco member buys one I will throw in a free bent receiver blank
PKT kit not PKM : Parts Kits at GunBroker.com

Looking good! I will be following with great interest. I have a couple other builds to get done and then will be starting something similar to yours.
I noticed you are using a .308 barrel for the 7.62x54 round. I was wondering if that would work well. I read somewhere that the Russians had rechambered .308 barrels to x54 in WW2. I was thinking they might have lengthened the throat when chambering them. It is said that when Ruger used .308 barrels on the mini-30 in 7.62x39 they lengthened the throat to swage the bullet more easily.
P.S. I just hit buy it now on one of your kits.

Just thought I'd introduce myself. I'm new to beekeeping. Well, I've been to an introductory 1 day course and I've got some books. I've managed to get hold of some land to put some hives on and the membership of my local beekeepers association is in the post.
I've got just one question at the moment: is it too late to start a hive this year? Or should I get some experience over this year and start in the spring next year.

On the flip side, I also had a hiatal hernia so couldn't eat very much at a time anyway but the weight still increased. So, simply eating less doesn't work for all people. My hubby eats junk throughout the day and doesn't exercise. His weight maintains -- I can watch him eat the junk food and put weight on....all people aren't created equal.
I was also afraid of being one of those patients who couldn't eat more than a teaspoon or two. To me, this was worse-case scenario. When you first have this surgery, that IS all you can eat for several weeks (that's why the weight drops so fast because you're barely eating anything). That's also why it's so important to get the right nutrients to stay healthy during the first year. But, after about a year, I eat semi-normally. I can eat out but always bring a carryout box home. I can eat pretty much anything now, except milk and ice cream which I don't really need anyway.
Ex. I can eat half a sandwich -- 1/3 of a restaurant meal -- eating a little of whatever is on my plate. I do have to watch bread - if I have more than 1 piece of bread per day, my weight starts to rise.
Although I still have about 40# to lose and might not get that off until I can exercise more, I still feel 200% better than I did prior to the surgery. I get out and walk almost everyday now (my fibromyalgia keeps me down some days), my outlook on life is so much better, and I'm enjoying life so much more now than before. And....I no longer get those stares from people because of my weight.
Hope this helps...

This is a most awesome sight!!
'nuff said!

Project Pink - the Pink and Blue AK-74:
This is a most awesome sight!!
Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have. The course of history shows that as a government grows, LIBERTY DECREASES."
Thomas Jefferson
Picture is not real clear. Is that "Concord Bridge" where those Fireman have the American Flag set up?
They can't do what Obama? Can you hear America now?
"Man needs but two things to survive alone in the woods. A blow up female doll and his trusty old AK-47" - Thomas Jefferson 1781
One of the radio shows I listened to tonight was saying only a couple thousand muslims showed up.
Estimates of over a million bikes passed through D.C., I don't know if there's an official number or not, but it would be nice to know.
OK I just read the whole article that HCP linked to, it says over 75,000 attended
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
And only a few dozen showed up for the other march that can't figure out what it wants to be called.
"What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?" -Thomas Jefferson-
"Our rights come from our humanity and may not be legislated away -- not by a vote of Congress, not by the consensus of our neighbors, not even by agreement of all Americans but one." Judge Andrew P. Napolitano
As per my other post. Links are even vanishing about the event. 75,000??????????????? That was a misprint by some commie radio host, he or she should try 750,000 or more bikers.
Nappies phone bill is running up calling his commie news owner friends.. "STFU about this, no news, I owe you one, thank you."
"Man needs but two things to survive alone in the woods. A blow up female doll and his trusty old AK-47" - Thomas Jefferson 1781
4th - did you ride up there on your bike? I thought I saw you in the pic you posted.
"To show you how radical I am, I want carjackers dead. I want rapists dead. I want burglars dead. I want child molesters dead. I want the bad guys dead. No court case. No parole. No early release. I want 'em dead. Get a gun and when they attack you, shoot 'em."
Ted Nugent - speaking at the NRA convention April 17, 2005
I read abut a dozen Muslims showed up an there were protesters of the rally as well.
Its really bothersome that the media is ignoring this story an covering every other 911 tribute .
I would have expected it to have been on tv last night . when a group of bikers rie through DC an ignored no permit being given it should be news .
people were talking about it at the restaurant so there hearing it some were . likely on the internet like us .
I wonder what was on the political radio shows today ? it would seem even most liberals would like to see 911 victims honored
brief mention on fox news last night, only slightly more coverage on Colorado
Sprat and sprat1 are one and the same.

Personality claims misdiagnosis
Cancer sufferer told changes in her breasts were 'normal'
Well-known personality and mother-of-two Nirvana Ciavola Azzopardi claimed in a judicial protest filed yesterday she was suffering from advanced cancer after being misdiagnosed by her consultant.
Nirvana, 39, claimed that her breast cancer, which was the most aggressive grade, spread to stage four because it was not diagnosed, as a result of the consultant's negligence.
It had now progressed through her lymph nodes and was attacking her liver.
In the protest, Nirvana, who has two sons, aged four and nine, said that during her first visit to the consultant at the end of 2010, she was told that the change was "normal and acceptable" and the doctor used the words "100 per cent nothing" following a breast examination.
Following this appointment, the change in her breasts became more noticeable and in April 2011 she went back to the consultant to be re-examined.
The consultant suggested it would be sensible to undergo a mammogram to clarify the reasons for the change.
By doing this, the consultant in a tacit manner realised that her previous medical advice was "completely incorrect", said Nirvana, a former television presenter and producer.
The consultant tried to remedy the situation, by which time it was too late, she added.
Despite being sent for a mammogram, which is not the best way to examine women under the age of 40, and after consulting another doctor, she was told to go to the Breast Clinic at Mater Dei Hospital.
Following the examinations at the hospital, which diagnosed her with "triple negative breast cancer", it transpired that she had previously received incorrect medical advice, Nirvana said.
In a letter sent on December 5, 2011, the consultant had told Nirvana that she was not responsible for what had happened.
Nirvana held the consultant responsible for damages saying she reserved the right to seek further legal redress because of the doctor's "abusive" behaviour.
Lawyers Adrian Delia and Kris Scicluna signed the protest.

Have You Ever Thought About Hiring a Leadership Coach?
Whether you're the CEO of a large corporation, a solo-entrepreneur, a new leader, or a mid-level manager hoping to receive the next promotion, if you answer 'YES" to three or more of the questions below, then you may be a candidate for the 2010 "Ramp It Up" Executive Coaching program beginning in January.
- Are you ready to take an honest, brutal look at where you are now in order to discover what's keeping you from where you want to go?
- Do you find you've plateaued, hit a wall, or are just plain stuck in a rut?
- Would you like to finally tap into your brilliant self, to do your specific genius work?
- Are you ready to make clear, motivational goals that will challenge you to grow?
- Would you like to create work/life balance?
- Are you willing to be coached? And,
- Are you teachable, or willing to try?
- If you can feel it, feel you're not really performing at your optimal best, but you really finally want to. Then:
A fortune 500 firm commissioned a study using MetrixGlobal, LLC, and determined that executive coaching produced an astounding 529% return on investment. 75% of the respondents expressed coaching had significant or very significant impact on at least one of their business areas.
This program is only for those who are ready to be serious enough to take action; to make extraordinary goals; and to use their untapped character skills, and underdeveloped talents. What if, what if this would help you break through the barriers that have been holding you back?
Why hire a coach? Well, why do the best of the best in the athletic world hire a coach? They're already at the top of their game, especially if they're going to the Olympics. It's because they know a coach sees things from a different vantage point. They realize that they may be doing things they themselves can't see, that would harm them, and keep them from winning. They hire a coach to stretch themselves beyond what they thought was possible. And finally, to receive the encouragement to keep up the hard work, and help them to toe the line and keep their eye on the payoff. So let me ask you, "Why wouldn't you want the same thing for your career?"
"Until we focus and define what is most important to us, we live our lives in a haze of other-directed urgencies. Coaching is designed to help you stay focused – to practice 'planned abandonment' of opportunities that would merely serve as distractions."
Laurie Beth Jones
AGAIN, IF YOU ANSWERED "YES" TO THREE OR MORE OF THE ABOVE QUESTIONS, DON'T WAIT. TAKE ACTION TODAY! Make 2010 your best year ever. For more information, and to register for this course, e-mail Sue at: firstname.lastname@example.com today. The first ten people to register will receive the popular report: Five Levels To Be In the Leadership Influence Zone.

I'd like to make a content pipeline for some of my games/engines/etc I'm working on, and I'm not quite sure what would be the best language to use. I'm using C++ for the actual runtime, but this seems very unproductive for tools. I've seen C# recommended several times for Windows-only content pipelines, but I'd like to know if there's anything more cross-platform.
Here are some features that an ideal language would provide:
- It also should provide some abstraction of OS-specific functionality such as directory iteration, etc. It should also be easy to use high-level features such as regular expressions and other text-manipulation techniques.
- Integrating this language with Lua should be simple, as I want to use Lua as a data-description language for several resource types.
- Calling external processes shouldn't be too hard -- for example, I might want to use the Cg toolkit's cgc program to compile shaders.
I suppose C++ could work if I used heaps of boost libraries -- this does seem a bit cumbersome though, and I imagine it would cause a large hit on compile times.
Anyone have any suggestions for a good language to use?

Hello everyone,
I would first like to thank you all for sharing such great information. I live in Evansville, IN and work in manufacturing. I have not yet begun beekeeping, but am in the process of deciding what to purchase and make on my own. I am not sure if I will make any equipment this year due to my eagerness to enter beekeeping. I had hopes on finding a local package, nuc, or hive but so far have been unsuccessful in acquiring one. So I might still be able to find the time to make some supers before I can come across any bees, but now seems like the most reasonable time to start a hive for the year. There has been some news around here of swarms that had been removed this week, so I think it in my best interest to quickly find a complete hive in hopes that I will run across a swarm that needs rescuing. This seems to be my best hope at getting an early start this year.
From all that I have noticed so far, the excitement of beekeeping must have caught many people this year. Several of the items that I have tried to order had been back ordered or sold out, especially package bees, and was told that inventories were low because they had been basing sells on the last couple of years and were not prepared for orders this heavy. This sounds like good news to the beekeeping community.
Well, I've rambled long enough for a welcome post. Glad to have this resource available. Please feel free to humor yourselves on all the really silly questions that I will probably have, i'm sure I will have plenty.

The pins with the yellow ball on top melt, too. They are widely sold in large quantities as quilting pins.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
The pins with the yellow ball on top melt, too. They are widely sold in large quantities as quilting pins.
clover glass head long shaft--worth the money
the price of the good glass head pins can be greatly reduced if you use a Joann's coupon on them, or wait till notions are on sale.
Tink's Mom (My name is really Susie)
I have had the worst experience with Dritz straight and safety pins- Very dull. Will never buy them again.
There are certain things I do spend good money on. Glass head silk pins is one of them. If they aren't abused by sewing over them, they last forever. I bought my last package of 100 pins about six years ago at about $8.00. They still work. I think that is a great investment.
Over the years I have bought cheaper pins and they are all gone now.
I do use colored pins on my design board and keep them separate from the silk pins.
no act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. Aesop
The flower-top 'flat-top' pins melt too, just like the ball ones. And they are supposed to be whoopie-do best-in-class from LQS. Some of my LQS pins, right out of the package, looked a little tarnished in spots. And they definitely don't go through the fabric as easily as the glass-head pins which are my favorite.
The glass-heads are nice and long, they don't melt, they are slightly narrower in diameter than the flower-heads and very sharp and smooth. Straight from Joanns.
"If it's messy, eat it over the sink!" Mom
jlm5419-an Okie back in Oklahoma!
I have only used the glass head silk pins for years. They are very sharp and thin so they slide in and out of the fabric easily. I have used them since the 70's. They are a little pricey but I still have most of the pins I purchased in the 70's.
"A dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than is a riot." -Robert A. Heinlein
I am always on a quest for the finest pins in the store. Many of the pins at J's are dull. I never had the experience of pins melting. That could be a disaster! I think I will try to buy some of the flower pins.

India's long-held antipathy to the Decision Review System has once more scuppered a plan under which its use could have increased in test cricket.
At the International Cricket Council's executive meeting in Dubai this week, the England Cricket Board supported a policy change whereby the host country could use the system in any bilateral series, whether the visitors wanted it or not. At present both must agree to its use.
No other country backed the English view, after India threatened to pull out of any series where the DRS was foisted on them.
Everyone knows the DRS is not foolproof. It was designed to eliminate the really poor umpiring decisions but has moved beyond that.
We've all seen predictive pathways which have caused eyes to be rubbed in disbelief as the tracking line takes an unexpected swerve to collect leg stump (in Australia, when the visitors are batting, for example) or ducked down the leg side when seemingly on target for middle and leg.
India's antagonism to the system includes their tour of Sri Lanka five years ago, when they made such a pig's ear of their referrals they gave it up as a bad job.
Early in December at a chief executives committee meeting, every member apart from India backed a change in the DRS implementation policy.
This week, N. Srinivasan, chief of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, dismissed the idea. None of the other boards stood up to him.
India believes the technology can be easily manipulated and is unreliable. Privately some boards may agree, but figure half a loaf is better than none.
There is no collective will to face up to the BCCI. It has a bulging wallet; the rest of the cricket world needs to continue the search for a large set of stones. Problem is doing that risks a financial punishment from money brokers India.
So fat chance all round as the game limps along with one nation's chest puffed out.
Enough of the negatives. Time to salute a remarkable achievement.
Last night, Graeme Smith captained his 100th international. He had been in charge of South Africa 99 times, and once skippered a world XI in a long-forgotten game against Australia in Sydney.
He's the first to that mark and Cricket South Africa declared the opening day of the test against Pakistan in Johannesburg "Biff Day" using Smith's nickname.
Australia's indefatigable Allan Border managed it 93 times, in succession - which says plenty about his skill, resilience, love of the game and, let's be fair, luck with injuries.
Smith started in 2003, aged 22 years, 82 days. He's won 47.4 per cent of those matches. Not bad, but it doesn't compare with Steve Waugh's 71.92 per cent during his 57 tests leading Australia.
Still, Smith, 32 yesterday, shows no signs of walking away any time soon.
Only three men have led their country at a younger age - Zimbabwe's Tatenda Taibu (20 years, 358 days), India's Nawab of Pataudi and Pakistani Waqar Younis.
Smith is playing his 108th test. Reaching 100 matches is no longer quite the hallowed territory it once was, 54 players having made it that far.
It is still special, but the South African skipper will have this particular mountaintop all to himself for some time to come.

Just more than a year after the world's biggest unintentional oil spill — the disaster that unleashed a quantity of oil equivalent to the Valdez oil spill into the Gulf of Mexico every four days — the nation has directed its gaze elsewhere.
But Sheila Kelley of Bainbridge Island — who joined a crowd of about 30 at Town Hall on April 28 to listen to Antonia Juhasz talk about her book, "Black Tide: The Devastating Impact of the Gulf Oil Spill" — knows the BP oil spill is not over.
Her son Sean Kelley, a 42-year-old boat captain from Seattle, worked for three months on the BP cleanup in the Gulf of Mexico and is one of many spill workers who are experiencing a slew of serious health effects, described by some as TILT, or Toxicant Induced Loss of Tolerance. Kelley and many others say that exposure to the chemical dispersant used in the cleanup is to blame.
Sheila Kelley lists a disturbing host of symptoms with the fluency of someone who knows them all too well: "Uncontrollable tremors, extreme joint pain, muscle weakness, respiratory problems, rashes, brain fogs.
"His tremors became so intense," she said. "Once his friend noticed that Sean's ankle had started to bleed after banging uncontrollably against the leg of his chair."
Kelley's son has sought treatment and detoxification regimens from numerous physicians, but he has received no financial help from BP.
"Some people are so incapacitated, they can't work," Juhasz said. "BP has no responsibility for health issues."
Everyone's responsibility
Also still suffering the effects of the spill are numerous shoreline communities where residents have been stripped of their sea-dependent livelihoods.
"People need to understand that the oil hit like a hurricane. Some places are clean, and some places are still completely devastated," she said.
Since the BP disaster, not one piece of legislation has passed demanding that the oil industry invest in new technologies for drilling and better strategies for cleanup, Juhasz said.
The oil industry has dumped loads of money into lobbying lawmakers, she said, and the spill and its lasting impacts have faded from the headlines.
"The photos of the oil birds really motivated people," Juhasz said. Once those photos faded out of the mainstream, people thought that meant that the disaster was over.
The decline in disturbing images from the Gulf did not reflect a decline in devastation, but rather enforcement efforts that kept media from getting close to the ugliest parts of the spill, she said.
Juhasz projected a photo of an oil burn. A thick tower of black, billowing smoke rises off a raft of flaming oil, gathered together by brightly colored oil booms. One of the key cleanup methods, oil burns were barely publicized for as often as they occurred, she said.
"We have to parent the oil industry,"Juhasz said. "As long as we are dependent on them, we must hold ourselves deeply responsible for what happens within it. It is the responsibility of those of us who know it's not over to continue to fight."
[Editor's note: This story has been corrected to reflect that Sheila Kelley lives on Bainbridge Island, not in Seattle, as originally published.]

I'm going to be writing, editing, suggesting and developing ideas for Elizabeth Street, a stylish website for mothers. There's so many things I love about the site--the clean design, their fabulous interviews, and collaborations. I can't wait to share my ideas with the editors. I've been jotting them down in a notebook all week. I start Tuesday!
Remember when I wrote a Wanted Ad last year? Elizabeth Street is exactly the kind of company that I wanted to contact me. It took a year of growing my blog, becoming an intern, getting published a few times, and having a friend mention me in her interview (where the editors of Elizabeth Street discovered me) until I finally got the job I was hoping for all along. I couldn't be happier with the direction my career is headed. All the work I did to get here is totally worth it.
I'm glad I pushed myself to write even when I felt like I had nothing to say. It gave me confidence. Now I know I can contribute to a company and create stories on days when I don't think I have it in me. Well, except for last week . . .
The last few days have been a whirlwind of getting everything in my life under control. My closets, my meal planning, my babysitters, my last naps ha. I have one last day off with my kids on Monday, and then I'm off to work--five days a week! I can't wait. I am soooo ready.
I'll tell you how my first days go as a working mother. Finally, a working mother! I love the sound of that.
PS Jordan Ferney took the above picture of me when I was in Paris a few years ago. One night she asked me what I wanted to be. I told her I really wanted to be a writer. Her response was something like, "You want to be a writer? Great! Call yourself a writer when people ask you what you do. Put it as your occupation on Facebook. There. Now you're a writer." She's the best at going after what she wants without making excuses. I love that about her. She's right--calling myself a writer actually turned me into a writer. This theory doesn't exactly fly for someone who wants to be a brain surgeon, but it works for most other things. What do you want to be? A runner? An artist? A baker? Consider yourself one and watch what happens!

New Zealand tennis number one Marina Erakovic is through to the second round at Wimbledon after winning her opening match in straight sets this morning.
Erakovic, ranked 49th in the world, was too good for 54th-ranked Urszula Radwanska from Poland, winning 6-4, 6-4 on court eight.
The match took just over an hour and a half and saw Erakovic hit 33 winners and only make 15 unforced errors.
In both sets Erakovic found herself trailing, but was able to fight back from 2-4 in the first set to finally break Radwanska in the 10th game to take the set 6-4.
In the second set Erakovic found herself down 2-3 but broke back to level at 3-3 before holding her own serve to go ahead 4-3 as games then went with serve until Erakovic broke Radwanska in the 10th game again to triumph.
Erakovic will play 21st seed Roberta Vinci in the second round after the Italian eased by Australia's Ashleigh Barty in straight sets.
The best result in singles at Wimbledon for Erakovic was in 2008 where she reached the third round. Last year she progressed to the second round before being beaten by Daniela Hantuchova.
Erakovic is likely to play her doubles first round with Thai player Tamarine Tanasugarn tonight (NZT).
They have a difficult first match against the Chinese pair of Jie Zheng and Shuai Peng who beat Erakovic and her partner Monica Niculescu in the second round at the French Open recently.
In 2011 Erakovic and Tanasugarn reached the semifinals of the doubles at Wimbledon.

The newest exhibition at the New Britain Museum of American Art, "In Focus: Recent Acquisitions in Photography," is meant to unveil for the first time the institution's emergent photography collection.
And part of the effort is a Roxbury resident, Lincoln Turner, an art teacher at the Chase Collegiate School in Waterbury who has offered up a familial piece entitled "Ancestors, October 25, 1917."
Sleight of Lens
The intimacy of the portrait is surprisingly inviting; nine close-up black-and-white pictures arranged in a three-by-three format, kind of like the opening sequence of
"The Brady Bunch." But they aren't actually his ancestors, and the pictures are not from Oct. 25, 1917.
"It's sort of a fictional story, really," said Mr. Turner, who composed the piece from "anonymous photographs found in various antique shops over the years."
This piece is part of a larger project called "Heirloom," in which he has created histories for people that are told through the words of fictional character Hattie Taylor.
Textual Element
Hattie Taylor, by the way, is the name of his great-grandmother, but for the purposes of his art it's the name of a storyteller.
In any case, this photographic experiment, which features the fictional Hattie Taylor's writing across the centerpiece face, fits well into the show that explores generations of photography.
Organized in a chronological and thematic fashion, the museum's exhibition consists of approximately 120 works that chart the development of photography over one-and-a-half centuries to illuminate the importance this medium has had a hand in shaping this country's visual culture.
"It's a good one for the show, because it bridges a gap between the 19th century and the 20th century," said Mr. Taylor, explaining how he used modern-day scanning and imaging techniques and applied them to antique photos.
In 2005, the NBMAA received the extraordinary Helen Vibberts Photography Collection from her brother, Charles Goss. This collection includes daguerreotypes, tintypes, cartes de visite, and other early 19th-century photographs.
Spanning almost a century, many of these images were taken by members of prominent New Britain families. More recent acquisitions have focused on contemporary works, including Renate Aller's minimalist, atmospheric ocean views and Stephanie Lempert's photographic soundscapes.
Meanwhile, this is the first time Mr. Turner's work will be on display at the New Britain Museum of American Art, though the institute has had his work on hand for many years.
The show will run until Dec. 30. To learn more about the exhibit, or the gem of a museum, see the Web site at www.nbmaa.org.

Town Square
Parking Garage
Original post made by Alison, University South, on Jan 20, 2007
Signs in the parking garages for permit parking need to be improved. The signs are too small and there should be a sign over every parking space that is dedicated for parking permits. One whole wall on the top floor of Parking Garage A has no signs on it, making a person feel that this is a public parking space. The sign on the wall going up is too small and not easy to read when a driver is negotiating the narrow ramp upwards. City of Palo Alto transportation department, please take note.

I'm not quite finished stitching my lady yet, and obviously she needs a face! But what do you think, so far? I meant to get her finished and quilted by today, but my mojo seems to have gone on holiday and I'm having trouble doing anything besides pack and think about packing. We hope to have the house on the market in a few weeks.
I sure hope you join us to have a go in PLAY – there are TONS of gift certificates up for grabs, and your chance of winning one is pretty high as it'll probably be a small pool of people participating. Go check out the page for more details.

text: Hi, I have a '97 GMC Sierra Pickup with a 4.3L V6 Votrec engine. I spun the rod bearings and found a 4.3L V6 Votrec out of an '04 Astro Van. My neighbors installed it for me. The engines looked almost the same. we had to change a few things, like keeping the aluminum intake manifold from the 97 GMC, and we had to drill and tap a knocking sensor hole in the block to fit the origional sensor. But I think it's gone pretty smoothly. It's in now, and begins to turn over but wont start. I talked to a second mechanic yesterday and he says the 04 Astro Van engine will never work in my '97 GMC! that's the first I heard of that. I REALLY hope thats not true. Can someone help me out with this? Is there a year range of vortec engines that are compatible with only certain years? Thanks, Chris from Oklahoma.

The Vail Valley Partnership recently hosted their annual community awards Gala. It's the same gig where the Antlers won Green Business of the Year in 2010 and a few years before that the big prize, Business of the Year. No awards for us this year, although we were one of three finalists for Spirit of the Vail Valley (formerly the Corporate Citizenship Award).
As usual, the Antlers table was called out as the room's most raucous. More than a few folks asked if they could sit at OUR table next year! New to the picture this year was our choice of headgear (you knew it had to happen). Wearing them throughout the evening undaunted, we even got the piano player and our photographer friend Ryan Iguchi to don them by night's end.
NEVER let it be said that we at the Antlers take ourselves too seriously. Seriously.

aha excusem me.
As for rio in 12 games he had 42 catches - last year in 12 games he had 39. Yards are close, more td's with gmen. Would he rather play with eli over colin - im sure but he was (pre injury) on a more successful team and was a big part of it. I believe there second leading receiver (although te had more). Still he got more money and team went further. Maybe he goes further with blue but i cant blame him for taking the money.
Gibril got the classic overpay coming off a superbowl win - took the money and ran west, cant blame him. Again the success for them is getting that pay day and setting up there lives, then the winning aspect. It may be true that more winning you do the better money success you can have too but they really cant wait on that and the late pick guys (like gibril) who dont have BIG TIME first contracts have to take advantage of there big payday opps, they usually only come once.
Manningham has done fine and could win another ring, Cofield has done great, Plax had a good season with the Jets, Shockey got another ring, Boss got hurt, Smith got hurt, Goff was never that good to begin with...
What are the qualifiers for "career suicide", exactly?
PS I'm not sure where the OP gets that Ron Dayne did well after his departure. If he did well, the bar is set very low.
No one remembers who came in second.

The ugliest compact on the market, is becoming a little more attractive, with a toned-down face, and a more efficient motor.InsideLine says the refreshed Mazda 3 is coming in 2012, complete with a 2.0 SkyActiv engine that's rated at 40 miles a gallon.2011- Mazda 32012 Mazda 3Personally, I think it looks better, with a less-ridiculous grin, and the lines on the grill curving into the supercar-esque lower fascias. The only question I have is, I doubt those lower holes have significant, if any, intake use, so how much drag, and gas consumption, could be reduced by smoothing them out?
I'm sure they have ways to funnel the air away from them. The Camry Hybrid has big gills on the bumper like that (not as big, but you know...) and one could assume the same there. If anything, brake cooling
----------When life throws you a curve, downshift and take it vigorously.Pheobe's@478,000-ish miles. (RIP original engine 475k)Youtube
It does look a bit better. What I don't get is why the 2.5 can't have the sky-active treatment. What if you dont want a base model?
I happen to like it quite a bit especially with the toned down face. I'm interested in the Skyactiv hatch.
The existing 2.5 may not be able to handle the higher compression.
The Sky motors are all new, they're tech can't be added onto any existing motor unfortunately. I don't care for the front end, as I was hoping for the Kodo style Shinari-esque body style.
- KumarCurrently rebuilding my RX-8.
+1 to wanting the Shinari design language.The 2.0 should have similar performance to the current 2.5 while delivering 11 more MPG. Who would want the current 2.5 when you can get the same 0-60 and 11 more MPG HWY?
Interesting what they did with the engines-- I never actually looked too deeply into the SkyActiv. It reminds me of the Echo (doesn't everything). I remember the touting of VVTi, tuned intake and exhaust manifold for low- and mid-range torque improvement, the plastic intake manifold for less heat transfer, among other things like Toyota Direct Ignition. Now the Mazda3 seems to be making strides like that. Lighter and more powerful, but also more efficient.

Since I couldn't find a Belgian thread, I decided I'd create one in my first post
The sites I'll be giving are either in Dutch or in French, so most members here won't be having that much of a good read out of them...well...
Homepage of the VBSL (for Flemmish ("Dutch") teams):
Homepage of the LFBBS (for French-speaking teams):
Homepage of the Blegian national team:
The overall situation of baseball in Belgium is...well, weak... especially compared to our neighbours in Holland. They have beautiful terrains right accross the border, and over here some parks don't even have grass on them
Another problem in Belgium is that everything is being dominated by Antwerp, the oldest teams are located in Antwerp and this brings consequences like most organising organs being filled with people from Antwerp. This is a problem because there's a certain arrogance in Antwerp. For example:
if a team from Limburg and a team from West-Vlaanderen should play against each other, it's very possible that there won't be an umpire, simply because they really couldn't care less over at the league...
oh well, like my old coach used to say: "I've never been disappointed in baseball, only in some people who are in baseball"
