Montreal fans like to torment Leaf supporters by chanting "'67!", a mocking reference to the last year Toronto won the Stanley Cup.
Here's new one they might want to try:
The Canadiens have won one of their first seven games this season.
It's their worst start since 1941.
That year, the NHL season began Nov. 1. The Canadiens lost their opener to Detroit, then tied Chicago before losing to Toronto, twice to Brooklyn and to the Rangers.
The Canadiens didn't get their first win until Nov. 23 – then they lost five more. They finished sixth in a seven-team NHL that season, winning only 18 of their 48 games.
But 1941 was tough all over. Hitler invaded the Soviet Union and the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor.
Fascism was on the March. It looked grim.
Now doesn't that contextualize the Canadiens' difficulties?
Yes, they are dead last in the Eastern Conference – and they'd be last in the league if the NHL didn't have a team in Columbus.
The Canadiens have two goals on the power play this season. Their PP efficiency is 6.9 per cent – 29th in the league.
The Canadiens had the NHL's seventh best power play last season, with an efficiency of 19.7.
But fear not!
If Jacques Martin keeps using Mathieu Darche in 5-on-3 situations – as he did against Toronto – I'm sure that 6.9 will be up to 7.0 in no time at all.
That's not a knock on Darche, who is a good, honest hockey player who leaves it all out on the ice and earns every nickel of his $700,000 annual salary.
But on a team that is losing with a PP that's struggling, Darche had 3:12 seconds of power-play ice time.
Erik Cole – who had five hits, battled for the puck and may have played his best game as a Canadien – wasn't used on any of the team's four power-play opportunities.
When asked about it after the game, Jacques Martin got a bit testy. The coach cited Cole's power-play stats in Caroline last season: three goals.
Fine. He's not a PP specialist.
But Cole was the prize UFA signing of the off-season. He's making $18 million over four years … and he had as much power-play time as Aaron Palushaj and Andreas Engqvist.
I don't get it.
Martin also blamed Cole for one of the two bench minors the Canadiens took against Toronto. With three calls through seven games, the team is on pace to exceed last season's league-leading total of 14 Too Many Men penalties.
Want more grim stats?
After yielding two PP goals to the Leafs, the penalty-kill's efficiency is 81.2, 20th in the league. Last season the Canadiens were seventh with 84.4 efficiency.
Travis Moen leads your Montreal Canadiens in scoring, while Brian Gionta has taken the most penalties.
What the heck is going on here?
What's happening is the Canadiens are digging themselves a deep hole that will be hard to climb out of.
Calgary and New Jersey had similarly lousy starts last season. Both teams missed the playoffs – even though the Devils caught fire after Jacques Lemaire took over behind the bench.
We keep waiting for a spark to get the Canadiens going, and there were a couple of inspirational goals against the Leafs: the Travis Moen shortie to open the scoring less than two minutes in, a patented AK46 wrister to make it 2-1, Mike Cammalleri's one-timer to tie it at 3 and another one by that sniper Moen to give the Canadiens a third-period lead that had the Bell Centre rocking.
But this is a fragile team that can't stand prosperity.
With the exception of the Winnipeg game – which seems long ago and aberrational – the Canadiens have not held a two-goal lead this season. And they've blown one-goal leads in losses to Calgary, Colorado, Buffalo and the Leafs.
Now you wanna get really depressed?
NHL stats have Carey Price 41st among NHL goaltenders – just ahead of Jaro Halak.
Price's GAA of 3.13 is 45th in the league. His 87.8 save percentage is 46th.
Price made some highlight reel saves against Toronto. But through seven games, he's given up five goals to the Leafs and Avalanche, four to Calgary.
Enough numbers.
And enough negativity.
Lars Eller played like a Top Six centre. He was 9-7 on draws, had two assists and blocked three shotsHe was easily the best Canadien … and we'll be saying that on many nights for a lot of years. Eller and Moen – who is, not coincidentally, in a contract year – were plus-3.
Eller had four minutes of PK team but – go figure – all of 12 seconds on that red-hot Habs power play.
The Canadiens practice Sunday morning and they play Florida at the Bell Centre on Monday night.
Then it's a mid-week back-to-back – home to the Flyers, in Boston – before the Bruins visit to complete what's been a grim October.
The Germans got as far as the outskirts of Moscow in 1941.
Maybe winter will help the Canadiens.
• • •
Oops, I nearly forgot to mention that Roman Hamrlik played 21:23, blocked three shots and was plus-2 in Washington's 7-1 spanking of the Red Wings.

Spam mutates, and the Internet community mounts an immune response
Brian Hayes
The spam we see today is shaped in many ways by our own efforts to combat it. The process is often likened to an arms race, with threats met by countermeasures, which then bring countercountermeasures, and so on. I prefer an immunological metaphor, where the contest is between a host organism and pathogens or parasites, and where both sides have to adapt and evolve in order to survive. In the case of bacteria and viruses, the vast majority never make it, but nature is profligate and can afford such high attrition; likewise spammers find it worth their while to send a million e-mails for a handful of responses.
Some organisms have "hard-wired" resistance to infection; they produce molecules—natural antibiotics—that inhibit the growth of certain bacteria. The mammalian immune system works differently; we are not born with specific defenses against Salmonella or measles. Instead, a random shuffling mechanism generates a vast array of defensive molecules, which have the potential to attack virtually anything they might encounter in the environment. Before going into action, however, the system must learn to distinguish friend from foe. This strategy has a cost: Because learning is a slow process, you may well get sick the first time you are exposed to an infectious agent. But the alternative of relying on a predetermined list of potential threats would be even more perilous, since any novel pathogen would meet no resistance at all.
The option of exploiting random variation is also available to the opposition. Indeed, the pathogens that pose the greatest danger of epidemic outbreaks are those that mutate rapidly and randomly, changing their outward appearance to evade immune-system surveillance.
It's easy to draw parallels between these biological concepts and the co-evolution of spam and antispam technologies. When the first unwanted bulk e-mails appeared, the recipients deleted them manually. As the volume increased (and along with it the level of irritation), savvy network users wrote simple programs to automate the deletion process. These early filtering programs, many of which were created with the Unix tool procmail, relied on static, hand-crafted rules to recognize spam. For example, a message might be rejected if the phrase "Free softwares!!" appeared in the subject line. The weakness of this system is that new rules are needed when the next spam advertises "Cheap softwares!!"
The procmail approach to spam filtering corresponds to the biological strategy of synthesizing a separate antibiotic for each type of bacterial infection. A more versatile filter, analogous to the mammalian immune system, can learn to recognize virtually any category of message, based on whatever characteristics of the text happen to be most salient. These distinctive markers are the counterparts of antigenic sites, or epitopes, on the protein molecules that label a virus or bacterium as foreign. The adaptive spam filter doesn't work from a predefined list of suspect phrases but rather discovers the most telling signs by exposure to spam and legitimate e-mail.
Whatever the mechanism of the filter, the spam writer can respond by varying the message. If e-mail containing the word "Viagra" is blocked, there are other ways of getting the idea across, including synonyms and circumlocutions ("sildenafil citrate," "impotence meds," "the little blue pill"). An adaptive filter will soon flag these terms as well, but by then the spammer can move on to other options. For some kinds of variation—such as obfuscatory misspelling along the lines of "V1@gra"—computational methods could automate the generation of random variants.

A 62-year-old woman lost control of her car and slammed into two people walking near a Phoenix bus stop early Wednesday morning.
Both pedestrians were hurt, but expected to survive, according to Sgt. Trent Crump of the Phoenix Police Department.
Crump said the woman was traveling south on 35th Avenue and appeared to have suffered a medical condition. She crossed into the northbound lanes near Alice Avenue, struck a power pole and then the two pedestrians before her car came to rest after knocking over the canopy of the bus stop, Crump said.
The driver of the car suffered minor injuries and was taken to a hospital for medical reasons after the crash happened about 6:30 a.m.
No citations were issued, Crump said.

not sure what you want here. a denial bar is fully welded in place.
ive been working on a pps-43 for years and been hung up babysitting my granddaughter. ive got a receiver that need the denile bar in it but i need it straight and true. plan on using key steel and taping it to put a scope mount on it a weaver or pictanny, excuse the piss poor spelling. after i get the trunnion in it can anyone put the bar in it and just drill the rail holes, ill tap it? how much?
not sure what you want here. a denial bar is fully welded in place.
You need the denial bar in first thing, if you put the trunnion in first the gun can be assembled as an MG.
right but i need the denial bar in and true with the receiver so i can drill and tap it for a rail to mount scope or laser on it and thats what im asking if anyone can mount the denial bar true with the receiver. havenot mounted trunnion in it because you atr right but still need to mount the denial bar corrctly first..i can eye ball it but as bad as my eyes are i would have it pointing east and shoot myself in the butt. could u place the bolt in it and tack weld the ends and then plug weld the rest of the denial bar in it? thet woul be about as true as i need it wouldnt it?
the atf requires a full weld not plug welding just to be clear on that and I'm not sure if sombody could do that type of work on the reciver other than you. muttman
thanks,now i might have to put it back on the back burner for now again.would spot wedind be acceptable, if i have to weld it all the way i can see the writting on the wall. burn thrus and warpage.
and thanks will also. didnt mean to shoun u.
does any one still have a pps-43 flat bending jig? i think ill just weld a scope rail on and forget using one that needs a denial bar in it.
i came back to this thread because want to finnish it. the denil bar is the kicker. what do you suggest on it? i hate to scrap the upper but if i have to oh well......
The KP44 receiver blanks, which are virtually identical to the PPs43 ones except for the magwell area, use a pressed in indentation along the top to act as the denial bar. If you can't do that, I assume you have a drill press? Place the upper in your vise and square it up. Drill a series of holes through the top the width of your denial bar, sliding the upper through the vise jaws as you make each hole. Or use a cross slide vise if you have one. File and Dremel the series of holes to form a slot, or use an end mill in your press with a cross slide vise. Place the bar in the slot with a thin spacer on top of the bolt slot to give clearance and weld it up. Straight.

i've been thinking about how to feed my bees in the TBH, and then it came to me. I could make a follower board with a slot in it for the entrance feeder, then i could slide this in the place of a top bar, and feed them from the inside (i have holes for the entrance, not a slot) i figure i could also have this follower board in place during the winter to make their hive smaller, and thus easier to keep warm. any opinions on this??

Release Date: Spring 2002
Hunter: The Reckoning is based on White Wolf's pen and paper game. The
Xbox game is set in a small prison town, where the prison itself has
become the center of evil and corruption. Some time ago, a group of
Vampires embraced the Warden and took over the prison as their personal
feeding grounds. They have spent years subjecting the inmates to unspeakable
experiments and tortures. The inmates that died within the prison walls
rose again as vengeful and destructive wraiths, uncaring of who or what
they destroyed. They were eventually subdued by powers greater than
them, and they slept, waiting for the chance to break their bonds.
Hunter is a game of action. The game carries the player through levels filled with 10-50 (approx.) monsters per scene. Hunter allows for a full combat system, combining melee, ranged and magic attacks. Each Hunter has several different animated attacks to make the game even more interesting. The Hunters have full range 3D motion. They can run in one direction and attack in completely different direction. The player controls their character from a third person view, using a medium, distance isometric perspective. The player is able to see the Hunter run, jump, dive, shoot, and interact with the environment. The focus of this game is action. Game play resembles that of Gauntlet Legends and Smash T.V. with the atmosphere similar to Resident Evil.
In Hunter, the player can take control of one of four Hunters. Each of the Hunters has different strengths and weapon selections. Each of the four Hunters have a distinct style and character, each catered to a different type of player. The Hunters advance as the players continue the game, but the advancement is predetermined. The Hunters have access to a wide array of weaponry, both modern and archaic.
Each Hunter has a default melee and ranged weapon that can be modified by power ups in game. In addition to weapons, each of the Hunters has an Edge (Hunter Magic Powers) that becomes more varied and powerful as the players progress. The Hunters are also able to find and use Glyphs (Glowing symbols on the ground) to regenerate lost health or other helpful powerups.
The levels in Hunter are gothic and decaying, staying true to the World of Darkness. The player has a wide area to run and fight. To vary gameplay, the levels have a variety of goals. Sometimes the Hunters have to kill things, sometime they have to escort an innocent person to safety, and sometimes, the Hunters have to run for their lives. Overall the game delivers an intense gameplay experience with strong horror elements. The player is able to save his progress at specific save points scattered throughout the game world.
Hunter also supports cooperative four-player multiplayer. The game scales its difficulty to accommodate the number of players in the game. New players can enter the game at any time and the characters they choose are scaled to the level as well. In cooperative mode, the players are able to interact and heal each other. A multiplayer game of Hunter offers new strategies as well as new challenges.

UTSA Spotlight: Velma Tristan likes the smaller size and central location of the Downtown Campus
By James Benavides
Public Affairs Specialist
(Feb. 29, 2008)--Velma Tristan is an administrative services officer in the Office of the Vice Provost and Office of the Dean of the College of Public Policy at the UTSA Downtown Campus.
As office manager, she is responsible for administrative fiscal, personnel and operational matters for the Office of the Vice Provost and oversees the administrative associates in the College of Public Policy.

JB: What's different now from 10 years ago?
VT: The campus is so much larger, both in size and population. I have been here since Day 1 when only the south tower of the Frio Street Building was open. Everyone was sharing very little available office space -- and everyone was happy!
JB: Are things easier or more difficult?
VT: I have always felt things have always been easier at the Downtown Campus because everyone works together to make it so. I find it more difficult to keep up with faculty and staff changes as we've grown. In the early days, everyone knew everyone who worked at the Downtown Campus. Now, it is not as easy to know everyone.
JB: What's the biggest challenge of working at Downtown Campus?
VT: Having to constantly ask, "What about the Downtown Campus?" Sometimes I feel as if decisions are made for events are planned with no thought given to the Downtown Campus and the faculty, staff and students here. We have a few Downtown advocates on various university committees that keep reminding everyone to include the Downtown Campus when making decisions or planning events.
JB: From your point of view, what is the Downtown Campus' role at UTSA?
VT: The Downtown Campus' role at UTSA is attracting students who feel the 1604 Campus is too far or too big. We offer an alternative with our central location and the feeling of being at a smaller university -- with less of a parking problem.
JB: What is the Downtown Campus' role in the community?
VT: The San Antonio community seems to have embraced the Downtown Campus as its own from the beginning. Its central location and feeling of openness provide a strong link between the university and the community. Government and business leaders often look to the Downtown Campus as a venue when planning events for the community.
JB: Describe your best day or memory at the Downtown Campus.
VT: There are so many... I think my best memory is when we reached a student enrollment of 5,000 students well ahead of the 10-year plan. That was the day when we felt we did it!

Thanks to the folks at Top Gear Russia, we got an early glimpse of the 2014 Mazda3 sedan. Now, Mazda has released more images of its sleek new four-door, and if you like what the Japanese automaker has done with the five-door hatchback, you won't find anything to complain about with the sedan.Many would argue that the Mazda3 sedan looks like a scaled-down version of the new Mazda6, and in many cases, that's true. But there are subtle details about the Mazda3 that we really like, starting with the larger grille that makes for a slightly more aggressive front end. On the profile, we like how the strong arching character lines that flow over the front and rear wheel wells intersect in the middle of the car and then taper off. At the rear, a short decklid rounds off a very clean design with taillamps that are indeed reminiscent of the larger Mazda6.http://www.autoblog.com/2013/07/10/more-photos-of-the-2014-mazda3-sedan/
it is really a great car my friend. I really love it.
a slick looking car. The best Mazda Ive seen yet.
Thanks for sharing now we are one of the first people who get a glimpse to that car

Artist Brandon Ballengée asks us to spend an intimate evening with bugs.
Leila Christine Nadir
They bite. They sting. They suck our blood. They can ruin agricultural crops, infest our kitchens, and chomp away at the foundations of our homes. And they are everywhere, crawling into the crevices of buildings, wriggling into our beds, hiding in dark corners. Insects, the most diverse and numerous organisms on Earth, comprise more than 10 million different species—perhaps, by some estimates, as many as 30 million. At any given moment, approximately one million trillion arthropods are creeping, burrowing, flying, and buzzing around our planet. For most members of the human species, these gazillion bugs are purely pests, best left unseen, and modern life has armed us with an arsenal of weapons—poisons, sprays, traps, zappers—to destroy them and, by extension, wipe them from our consciousness.
Despite most humans' instinct to shudder at the sight of bugs, we need them. Entomologist E. O. Wilson writes, "If all humankind were to disappear tomorrow, it is unlikely that a single insect species would go extinct, except three forms of human body and head lice." On the other hand, he continues, "If insects were to vanish, the terrestrial environment would soon collapse into chaos." Without their services, flowers would cease to reproduce, most plant and animal species would go extinct, and humans would endure "widespread starvation" and "a tumultuous decline to dark-age barbarism … unprecedented in human history." Wilson encourages us to put down our pesticides and change our attitudes: "More respect is due the little things that run the world."
Transforming humanity's vexed relationship to bugs has been one artist's inspiration for creating a series of public art installations that encourage bugs to meet up, mate, and procreate. The pairing of visual creativity with scientific curiosity comes naturally to Brandon Balengée, who has exhibited his artwork in numerous presitigious galleries and public spaces throughout the world while also pursuing a doctorate in field biology. Ballengée constructs his installations out of eye-catching blue canvases, often shaped like insects or insect wings, and illuminates them by ultraviolet lights. As the sun sets, the structures begin to glow, attracting hundreds or thousands of nocturnal insects in search of a partner. Ballengée calls these artworks Love Motels for Insects, and he has designed them specifically to encourage people to watch the insects' evening mating rituals.

County OKs $15 million venue tax for UTSA athletics
(Jan. 4, 2008)--The Bexar County Commissioner's Court approved Jan. 3 a slate of venue tax allocations that includes $15 million for a UTSA athletics facility.

According to a Jan. 4 story in the San Antonio Express-News, the UTSA project was the highest rated of all the sports facilities pitched to the county committee tasked with ranking amateur sports proposals.
Scheduled to go before voters in May, the money is part of $415 million package of civic improvement projects. Voters will decide if the current 1.75 percent hotel occupancy and the 5 percent car rental tax will be extended. The tax would be extended but would not increase.
Proposed venue tax funding also would go to the Dolph and Janie Briscoe Western Art Museum ($4 million) and the Alameda Theater ($6 million).

This winter, you can go dashing through the snow or careening down a super slide into a bubbling splash pool. In fact, with an Escape to Six Flags Great Escape Lodge and Indoor Waterpark in Lake George, New York, you and the whole family can do both.
Whether you're a daredevil or a snow angel, dive into this wet-and-wild wonderland offering plush pads to act as your staging area during your stay: Each spacious suite is designed to fit the whole family, offering cozy sitting areas, full-size sleeper sofas, and plenty of room for watching movies or playing games.
Situated amid the beautiful scenes of the Adirondack Mountains, the lodge boasts a huge indoor water park with nine thrilling white-water attractions. Kids can take part in the exciting activities at the themed Kids Klub area, play in the Star Light arcade, and enjoy special meet-and-greets with the lodge's Timbertown characters. Later, hit the slopes with the family at any of the many nearby ski resorts. In December, the festive "Holiday in the Lodge" is sure to get the whole family in the spirit of the season.
They'll be plenty of splashes and squeals as you and the family ride on inner-tubes through the curls and tunnels that wind through the 38,000-square-foot facility. Navigate the thrills of white-water rafting down the Lazy River, or catch a wave and do some surfing at Boogie Bear Surf.
Smack dab in the middle of the water park lies Tall Timbers Treehouse with more than 160 interactive water features, a trio of twisting body slides, and plenty of water-operated swivel water rifles, hydro-blasters, arch jets, and steering wheels that will let your kids' imaginations run wild. And parents can take a "vacation from their vacation," with a visit to the Tranquility Spa, while the kids grab a snack or a shake at Johnny Rocket's malt shop.
Always a balmy 82-degrees, the park makes a splash any time of year.
"They had story time in the lobby—the kids loved sitting in front of the fire and listening (there was a large bear who sat next to the lady reading the book and the kids loved him!)."-- Trip Advisor

A few Questions about TCP data flow
1) TCP takes place in the network layer of the OSI right? So does that mean it starts at the network layer or does the data flow from TCP still have to start at the physical layer? The book isnt very clear on this point.
2) In the line header length, Reserved, flags, sliding window..... what is the reserved area used for all the book says is its for later use and hardly ever used.
3) In the line Options/Padding is it possible for both of these to be 0 bits at the same time? And if so does this line get skipped completely? Are the special options worth knowing about?
4) Under Data what is meant by "The size of the data field depends on how much data needs to be transmitted(this half i understand its the next half which I don't), the constraints of the TCP segment size imposed by the network type, and the limitation that segment must fit within an IP datagram."

Reviews of this property
We're glad we rented this house. House has a great location, about 100 M.Da tram 28. Owner and kind.
Siamo contenti che abbiamo affittato questa casa. Casa ha ottima posizione, circa 100 m.da tram 28. Proprietario e gentile.
The apartment is nice and well located. Also the host is very helpfull.
The negative point is that the walls are very thin. So you can hear your neighbours easaly. Our neigbour upstairs did not sleep untill 4 and 5 in the morning and made all night strange noises.So we could not sleep. We reported this ( too late ) to the host and they promised to be in contact with the neigbour in order to solve the problem for the future.
My stay at Casinha do Largo is pretty much what defined my trip to Lisbon. Couldn't ask for a better location to experience "true Lisbon" in the heart of Alfama. The apartment was extremely cozy, bed comfortable, and mini balcony perfect for people watching. Not to mention, the service and help I received from Ricardo outstanding. Missing you guys and Casinha do Largo already!
Op lief pleintje, met rustig klein terrasje voor de deur, midden in de oude wijk Alfama met zijn kleine straatjes en fado-muziek, ligt dit schattige huisje.
Het huis is sfeervol en precies als de foto's. Christivao is precies, zorgt voor een warm welkom, met lekkere Portugese taartjes en alle informatie over bezienswaardigheden in Lissabon. In het huis is alles prima verzorgd en de communicatie liep soepel. Ik zou deze plek zeker aanbevelen.
Sehr schöne und geschmackvoll eingerichtete Ferienwohnung in idealer Lage. Kleiner Minuspunkt: etwas hellhörig.
A notre arrivée à l'appart de Lisbonne, Pédro était ponctuel et nous a fourni tous les renseignements qu'il nous manquait .
A notre départ , il s'est occupé de notre taxi (rue difficile d'accès pour les taxis, donc délai plus long que prévu) .
Un jeune trés sympathique , qui parle bien français avec qui nous avons pu avoir un dialogue enrichissant.
Reviews for this host's other properties
Nice apartment in a very good location and nice neighbourhood (almost everything in walking distance, shops, bakerys etc max 5 min away). Well equiped with everything you need for a few days. A little bit dark and small, but you probably wont find a place in Lisboa thats very different, its just the way it is in old portugese buildings. And it has its charme.
The hosts were very kind and professional, gave us a typical portugese cake as a welcome gift :)
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.

really dont understand where that logic comes from...
MSU by 17 Oklahoma by 17
USC -3 looks awesome
Wake +24 is juicy
UTEP -3.5 gives me wood
Tennessee +4 might be my wtf play of the week
Can someone explain their reasoning behind loving UTEP?
They are god awful. Last week everyone wanted to bet on Akron against the god awful Umass, but failed to take into consideration Akron was terrible as well. I know USM is terrible, but so is UTEP.
UCF @ Tulsa
This is pretty much the conference final matchup in two weeks from now. Both teams are healthy and undefeated in conference and have had two OOC losses (UCF to tOSU and Mizzou @ home, TU to Arky two weeks ago and Iowa St.). In conference TU struggled against UAB, Marshall, and Rice. UCF struggled against USM and UTEP (go figure). TU is poor in the air game and decent on the ground game on both offense and defense (compared to the rest of the NCAA). UCF is slightly the opposite, better in the air than on the ground on both sides.
Houston @ Marshall
Marshall got beat by UAB, UAB led the game the entire time despite giving up 4 turnovers. When you allow 5 yds per carry though, it makes sense. Houston, meanwhile hit a emotional low last week when their captain on defense suffered a near fatal heart injury during practice. They got blown out by Tulsa last week after it, I'm not certain how they'll play. Both teams have pass heavy offenses and poor defenses with the exception of Marshall's pass D.
SMU @ Rice
SMU's losses have been against OOC aTm, TCU, and Baylor, and in conference UCF and... Tulane. Rice's schedule has looked good in recent weeks because of a weaker schedule and playing Tulsa when TU's starting QB was injured. Rice's Defense is putrid compared to SMU despite having a much easier schedule. SMU has a poor run game, but appears average.
ECU @ Tulane
This may be the one clear cut game all week. ECU is the cream of the conference, but gets blown out outside the conference (Navy, for one). Tulane sucks, not sure if you knew that or not. ECU should blow them out. If not, I'll be one of the first to call shenanigans.
UAB @ Memphis
This is the other Toilet Bowl game this week, and both teams are probably looking at this game as a Season High. Memphis easily has one of the worst offenses in NCAA. In comparison, UAB has better looking losses and a pass game, both defenses are dreadful.
UTEP @ So. Miss
Neither of these teams should be picked to win, be it SU or ATS. On paper, USM has a average run game, but no pass game. UTEP has an average offense all around, but does not appear to be able to finish a drive. Both teams have bad run defenses and average pass defenses. USM gives up more points on average, and has put a number of Offensive players are injured or on suspension (last week anyway).

Today we took an hour boat ride away from the east coast of Borneo to the surrounding reefs of two tiny islands called Mabul and Kapali.
AND....We rented an underwater camera!! It was AMAZING to see all the biodiversity under the water. The reef is pristine. We saw over 10 different sea turtles, loads of fish and corals completely new to us...and even got attacked by an aggressive trigger fish. Ahh!!
Have a look and wish you were here :)

First Sunday Book Club - "A Song for the Road" edited by Kate Morgan
Mar 03, 2013 , 1:16 PM by Nicole Foote
You've heard the phrase "what happens on tour stays on tour" but is it true? Do musicians really get up to ridiculous mischief on the road?
A Song for the Road is a new collection of tales written by some of Australia's best songwriters. Paul Kelly shares his experience of catching a Solomon and Burke show in Canada, Dave Graney revisits a tour of Vietnam and Cameron Muncey of Jet takes us to Mexico to live the rock n' roll dream.
A Song for the Road is published by Pier 9, and reviewed for the First Sunday Book Club in March by Anne Marie Middlemast, Ivor Cole and Dave Hayes.
If you missed out on the discussion of the high's and low's of a musicians life on the road, you can listen in below.

You've set your sights on the powerful panorama of Niagara Falls, just waiting to lock down a room with a view. Well, hello, view! Swap the sight of your cubicle wall for one of Niagara Falls at Ontario's Marriott Niagara Falls Fallsview Hotel & Spa.
Escape to the AAA Four Diamond property for a one-night stay for two in a double-queen Fallsview Guest Room, Sundays through Fridays ($139) or stays that include select Saturdays ($159). Or, double up with two nights, Sundays through Fridays ($239) or select Saturdays ($259).*
"Built in a curving design that allows virtually every room an unobstructed view, this luxury hotel sits just 300 feet from Horseshoe Falls—closer than any competitor," says Frommer's.
Your double-queen Fallsview Guest Room is so near the water, you'll practically feel the mist on your cheeks while gazing out the window. In fact, the hotel earned a place on TripAdvisor's list of the Top Ten Most Spectacular Views in the World.
Set out to make a splash of your own in the indoor pool—featuring two whirlpools, a sauna, and a steam room—or unwind at Serenity Spa by the Falls. For a change of scenery, check out the nearby Skylon Tower and Niagara SkyWheel with your casino and attractions shuttle pass, before indulging in a complimentary wine reception at the hotel (5 to 7 p.m.). Afterward, wash down juicy steaks with Niagara wines and put your $75 credit toward the bill at Terrapin Grille.
There's no view like the one from the top, so brighten your outlook with this Escape to Niagara Falls before the window closes.
*Select Saturdays: November 24; December 1, 8, 15, or 22, 2012; January 5 or 11, 2013.
"Put simply, if you want to stay as close to the falls as possible, book here. With comfy beds, a great restaurant, a spa and pool, and the best falls view in town, you may never want to leave this place."-- Frommer's

text: 04 silverado 5.3L Hi guys, im about to do a radiator drain/fill and im curious, is there an air/pressure release valve of some sort that will allow me to easily remove any air from the coolant system after doing a drain/fill? Or am I being overly cautious about this, and these particular radiators are very simplistic in design and fool-proof to drain/fill (rarely the case) thx Also any tips for getting air out of the system is greatly appreciated. Edit2: does anyone know if when replacing old anti-freeze if a "flush" with flush fluid is suggested in addition to simply draining old fluid and replacing with new? - - - Updated - - - Here is what I believe to be the radiator drain valve. I watched a prestone radiator "flush" video that appeared to use a gasoline GM truck for the instructional vehicle. The shot is super zoomed in, does anyone know its general where-abouts in the engine bay or whether this is actually a picture from a GM Truck, the video said some vehicles may not have one and it switched to this picture, which may or may not be from the truck they were demonstrating on.

Unless you're a household name DE, like Peppers was a couple years ago, I don't want you. Bennett is a guy that teams are gonna see, convince themselves that he's an under-the-radar type guy who might be able to provide a bargain, and vastly overpay.
Bennett is a solid DE -- don't get me wrong -- but he's probably gonna get 30 million guaranteed; that's better-than-solid type money, in my eyes. You're better off drafting DEs, and DBs, because when they hit the market, their value is inflated.
Nevermind, wasn't expecting such a volatile DE market. Avril goes for 2 years/15 million. Bennett goes for 1 year/5 million.
Coincidentally, both to Seattle.

The Department of Comparative Literature and Folklore Studies offers a major in comparative literature and a certificate in folklore.
Comparative literature is the study of literatures in their original languages from a transnational, cross-cultural perspective. The program welcomes students with a diverse range of backgrounds and interests, and with literary reading competence in a language in addition to English. Literary fluency in a language other than English is the basis for work in the comparative literature major.
Comparative literature students and majors study texts from a range of historical periods, geographical and cultural areas, and literary and artistic movements. They learn to critically pose and respond to fundamental questions about the place of literature in society and in cultural and historical traditions.
Majors are introduced to specific modes of literary analysis as well as to general concepts of "literariness." They explore the interaction of literature with other arts and disciplines as well as with the political, social, and intellectual contexts of literature. In this way, students acquire important intellectual skills in critical comparative reading, thinking, and writing.
The small size of most comparative literature classes allows ample opportunity for the discussion and exchange that are essential to the development of such skills. Comparative literature classes also offer challenging research and writing projects that can be carried out individually and in small groups.
A major in comparative literature is valuable preparation for a career in a wide range of fields that demand careful analysis, clear writing, the presentation of logical arguments, and the critical assessment of the written and oral opinions of others—law, business, communications, politics and diplomacy, journalism, technical writing, or publishing. It is ideal for students interested in teaching at the secondary level or in pursuing graduate degrees.
To declare the major in comparative literature, students must have sophomore standing, have taken at least one 200-level course in the department, have a minimum 3.0 GPA, and have established the foundations of literary fluency in a language other than English.
Prospective majors are strongly encouraged to meet with the director of undergraduate studies to discuss the requirements in advance of declaring the major. Declared majors are strongly encouraged to meet with the director of undergraduate studies in planning their courses each semester. Juniors should arrange a meeting early in the spring semester to assess whether they will have met all requirements for graduation.
Folklore is a multidisciplinary field of study concerned with the documentation and analysis of verbal, customary, musical, material, and performance traditions, primarily as they are practiced within cultures, but also as they are revived, modified, even invented by artists, educators, entrepreneurs, activists, communities, and states. The program offers courses on folklore forms, practitioners, performances, theory, methods, and public presentation, with an emphasis on cross-cultural and interdisciplinary approaches. Students interested in folklore as an area of concentration typically major in an arts, humanities, or social science discipline. No formal undergraduate major is offered in folklore, but by planning a course of study with the undergraduate advisor, a student may design an individual major with a folklore concentration. Undergraduate students may also earn a certificate in folklore.
Requirements for the Major in Comparative Literature
The major requires a total of 30 credits in Comparative Literature (Comp Lit), plus 9 credits in literature in a single foreign language for a total of 39 credits. The 30 credits in the department must include:
- 6 credits (two classes) from the 200-level sequence (Comp Lit 201, 202, 203, 205);
- two courses in literary criticism and theory (Comp Lit 310, 371, or 475);
- the Comparative Literature Proseminar, Comp Lit 690;
- 9 credits in literature courses in a single foreign language, taken in the relevant foreign language department, with a final grade of B or better in each course. Independent study or literature in translation courses will usually not count toward this requirement.
The Senior Thesis (Comp Lit 691–692, for a total of 6 credits) is strongly recommended (though not required) for non-honors majors.
Introduction to Literary Criticism (Comp Lit 310) is strongly advised as a bridge between the 200-level courses and the 300- and 400-level courses.
Work in the major must show a degree of continuity. The exact configuration of courses in the major will be determined individually for each student in consultation with the director of undergraduate studies.
All students are required to fulfill the L&S requirement of at least 15 credits of upper-level work in the major completed in residence. Any course in the department numbered 300 or above will count toward this requirement.
Majors are strongly encouraged to maintain an average GPA of 3.25 for coursework in the major.
Requirements for Honors in the Comparative Literature Major
The Department of Comparative Literature and Folklore Studies encourages students to consider graduating with Honors in the Major. Honors in the Comparative Literature Major provides students with an opportunity not only to deepen their understanding of questions of comparative literatures and cultures but also to develop and practice their skills in critical comparative reading, thinking, and writing.
Honors in the Major in Comparative Literature requires a total of 39 credits with an average GPA in the major of 3.5.
In addition to the general requirements for the major (please see Requirements for the Major), students who wish to qualify for Honors in the Comparative Literature Major must take 9 credits of Comparative Literature at the 300 level or above for honors credit.
Honors in the Comparative Literature Major also requires the Senior Honors Thesis (Comp Lit 681–682) for a total of 6 credits.
The remaining 24 credits are distributed as stipulated for all undergraduate comparative literature majors in Requirements for the Major.
Additional Program Information
Courses in comparative literature fall into four general classes:
Introductory courses (201–299) are based entirely on English-language texts or English translations of foreign language texts. These courses are open to first-year students and restricted to undergraduates.
General courses (300–400) are open to undergraduates. The course texts are in English, but majors and other students who are able to do so are expected to work with one foreign literature in the original language.
More specialized courses (400–699) are open to both undergraduate and (with the exception of the proseminar, Comp Lit 690) graduate students. Texts used in these courses typically require the knowledge of at least one foreign language.
Graduate courses (700–999) involve increasing use of foreign literatures both in the classroom and in individual work.
Certificate in Folklore
Note: Effective fall 2016, students will not be allowed to complete both the major in comparative literature and folklore studies, and the undergraduate certificate in folklore studies.
The certificate in folklore is available to students working for a baccalaureate degree in any UW–Madison school or college, and to Special students. The purpose of the certificate is to acquaint students with the nature of folklore, its study, its public presentation, and its relations to a range of human experiences, intellectual currents, and professional endeavors.
The certificate requires 15 credits, including at least one course from each of the following four clusters:
- Introductions to the Field: 100, 230
- Genres of Folklore: 103, 211, 220, 237, 339, 352, 359, 450, 451, 460, 539, 655
- Folklore and Cultural Areas: 102, 210, 270, 279, 320, 326, 329, 342, 345, 346, 347, 353, 370, 374, 401, 402, 403, 404, 405, 411, 431, 436, 437, 440, 443, 444, 445, 450, 453, 517, 518, 521, 535, 540, 612, 630, 640
- Issues, Theories, Methods: 344, 410, 428, 471, 490, 491, 510, 512, 515, 520, 530, 560, 639
At least four courses must be at the 300 level or above. Directed Study (399) may be used to satisfy one cluster requirement, but only with the approval of the certificate advisor and the director of the certificate program. Certificate seekers are urged to consult the undergraduate advisor at the earliest possible opportunity.

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis hold a singular place in both the Pacific Northwest and beyond, emerging as a premier national hip-hop group with numerous career highlights to their name. A genuine lyricist and an electrifying live performer, Macklemore, with his producer Ryan Lewis, have garnered critical acclaim and a devoted fan base. The duo has generated undeniable momentum with Macklemore's feature on the cover of XXL's Freshman Class of 2012, along with a highly anticipated full-length album and accompanying world tour.
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' music is distinct for channeling cultural moments and refreshingly self-aware testimony through candid lyricism and expertly crafted production. Their work has captivated listeners around the world, with a combined total of 20 million views on YouTube and a passionate fan following on social media. Their body of work demonstrates an impressive variety of musical influence, experience and subject matter, all in a voice unmistakably their own.
Macklemore's 2005 release Language of My World was well received by circles who noted his fresh perspective and a striking balance of insight and levity. After several subsequent years of artistic stagnation and frustration due to substance abuse, Macklemore made a commitment to sobriety with a newfound, more intrinsic dedication to his music. The catalyst to this change was establishing a partnership and on-going collaboration with Ryan Lewis, an accomplished artist in design, photography, video and musical production, who also acts as Macklemore's touring DJ. They released the VS EP in 2009 & VS Redux in 2010, the latter reaching #7 on the iTunes Hip Hop charts. Throughout 2011 they released four highly successful singles, all accompanied by undeniable music videos. As an independent group with no current association with an outside record label, the duo has built their brand from the ground up since day one and continue to be completely in-house with their music, design, photography, merchandise and all other platforms of their artistry.
Also in 2011, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis sold-out two national tours packing houses in New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Minneapolis and a three-night run at Seattle's Showbox venue where 3,600 tickets sold out in less than 48 hours.
The pair has been featured at a significant number of major festivals and showcases, including the 2011 Rock The Bells Tour, Lollapalooza (IL), Soundset (MN), MusicFest NW (OR), Sasquatch (WA), Outside Lands (San Francisco), and a much-talked about run at SXSW, including a set at the Fader Fort. Perhaps most notable was 2011's Bumbershoot Festival, where Macklemore & Ryan Lewis performed an extended set to 12,000 fans at Key Arena, unprecedented for a Seattle-based hip-hop artist. They also performed "My Oh My" at the Seattle Mariners home opener at Safeco Field for 48,000 people.
Select publication appearances include the Source's "Unsigned Hype" column in early 2012, the "Show-And-Prove" feature in XXL Magazine, a front-page feature on the Seattle Times and the cover of City Arts Magazine.
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis will release their highly anticipated first full-length album this fall that promises to be their greatest showcase of musical versatility and best work to date. With a 65+ city world tour to support the release, the duo is set for remarkable new heights.

From the National Geographic book Secret Journeys of a Lifetime
Mirador Escénico, San Carlos, Mexico
This scenic lookout, four miles from San Carlos, gives a peerless view over the Gulf of California, dramatic Tetakawi—a volcanic hill jutting out of the sea—and the secluded coves of Playa Piedras Pintas. Mirador is also a world-class vantage point for spotting wildlife, including dolphins, pelicans, and whales.Planning: A good way to explore the Gulf of California (Sea of Cortes) is to rent a kayak or fishing boat in San Carlos. The best sailing and fishing weather occurs from November through May. www.visitmexico.com
Kalaupapa, Molokai, Hawaii
A guided mule train down a near-vertical, three-mile trail in the Kalaupapa National Historical Park is the usual way to reach this hideaway, sheltered by the world's highest sea cliffs, which plunge 3,315 feet into the Pacific. In the 19th century, the cliffs served as a natural barrier for a leper colony. Although the colony closed in 1969, some residents choose to remain here.Planning: Advance reservations are necessary, as a maximum of 18 mules a day are allowed along the trail. The park is closed on Sundays. Visitors need permits. www.muleride.com, www.gohawaii.com
Cape Leeuwin, Australia
At Australia's southwesternmost tip—where the Indian Ocean collides with what Australians call the Southern Ocean—Cape Leeuwin lighthouse safeguards one of the world's busiest and most treacherous shipping lanes. In summer, you can enjoy views of endless water; in winter, you feel the full force of the oceans crashing against the cape.Planning: Regular tours of the lighthouse precinct run throughout the day. The outlook is most dramatic in winter; whales are visible from June through December. www.westernaustralia.com
Sur to Aija, Oman
At the town of Sur, on Oman's northeast coast, you can soak up the view across the creek to Aija, a village of low, pastel-colored dwellings and ornate merchants' houses surrounded by rocky beaches. Fishermen's dhows bob on the water and several small boatyards still build these traditional sailboats.Planning: Sur is about 90 miles along the coast from Muscat. The view is best at high tide. www.omantourism.gov.om
Látrabjarg, Iceland
Iceland´s most remote region, the Westfjords, is home to one of the world´s greatest bird cliffs and its largest razorbill colony. At Europe´s westernmost point, the 1,457-foot-high, 8.7-mile-long Látrabjarg cliff also entrances its visitors with misty views over white-sand beaches and Snæfellsjökull glacier in the distance.Planning: Látrabjarg is accessible by car, approximately 37 miles from the village of Patreksfjörður via road 612. www.westfjords.is, www.nat.is, www.visiticeland.com
St. John's Head, Hoy, Orkneys, Scotland
Near the northern tip of the island of Hoy, St. John's Head is Britain's highest vertical sea cliff. Thanks to the fierce swell and tide, just reaching its base is a serious undertaking. For less courageous types, the best viewpoint is from the Scrabster-to-Stromness ferry, which leaves up to three times daily.Planning: The best time to view the cliff is on a summer evening when sunset turns it an ardent red. The ferry trip also provides views of the Old Man of Hoy, a 450-foot-high seastack. www.hoyorkney.com
Son Marroig, Mallorca, Spain
Tired of Viennese court life and enamored of the scenery around Son Marroig, on Mallorca's north coast, Austria's Archduke Ludwig Salvatore (1847–1915) bought a property here with sweeping vistas over the Na Foradada ("pierced rock") peninsula, which has a gaping 59-foot hole at its center.Planning: For the best views of the peninsula, ask at the museum for permission to walk the two-mile-long path toward Na Foradada. www.illesbalears.es
Sagres Bay, Portugal
For a whiff of historical romance and swashbuckling adventure, few outlooks outclass the one at Sagres, mainland Europe's most southwesterly community. In the 15th century, Prince Henry the Navigator came here to found his School of Navigation to train sailors and cartographers, in order to fulfill his quest to expand the known world's frontiers and open a sea route to India.Planning: The best way to explore Sagres Bay and Cape St. Vincent is by car or on foot, as there is no public transportation. www.sagres.net
Dun Aengus, Aran Islands, Ireland
One of Europe's most splendid cliff forts, consisting of stone walls built in three semicircles, Dun Aengus sits atop an unclimbable sea cliff rising 328 feet out of the ocean. The innermost court affords superb views over the island of Inishmore and the distant Connemara coast.Planning: Reachable by ferry from Doolin, County Clare, and Rossaveal, County Galway, Aran's main settlement is Kilronan. www.aranisland.info
Coast Road, Western Sahara
One of the Paris–Dakar Rally's remotest legs, this artery cleaves seemingly endless sands and a rocky Atlantic coast. While the terrain initially appears monotonous, the tarmac road is far from featureless, passing glassy lagoons and palm-fringed oases.Planning: To avoid unexploded mines, drive off-road only with a local guide. Although camel-borne nomads outnumber vacationers, Western Sahara draws intrepid deep-sea anglers and kite- and sand-surfers. www.mbendi.com, www.africatravelling.net

Az ingatlan értékelései
Clean and cosy appartment right in the middle of Prague. We (5 friends) really enjoyed staying here for a long weekend.
The apartment was great! The best of all was that it was situated in the old town of Prag! We are very pleased with everything!
Amazing apartment. Location close to city centre. Good flexible service from the landlord (we arrived 2 hours earlier than expected and it was not a problem). We (a family of 5) had plenty of space. We chose to pay for parking in the courtyard. Two sets of keys was really convenient. The apartment was clean and everything worked. Everything we wanted to see in Prague was within walking distance. It was our first experience with the Wimdu concept, but definitely not the last!
Best regards, Anders and family :)
Staying in the apartment was amazing, nothing to complain about: the service was amazing and so was everything in the apartment. It was close to everything in the city. All in all an amazing vacation, thank you!
Great apartment a few steps from every interesting point in prague.
Stepan (the owner) and all the employees were fantastic, always nice and very helpful. A great option for group travellers for Prague searching for a place to stay with quality and low prices.
Great apartment - i think we received a different one from the one pictured, but it was fairly similar. Very clean, spacious and comfortable. Location was perfect for walking everywhere, including at night. Staff were friendly and the parking spot was handy and secure.
very good location, near by the old prague the castle and charles'bridge.
supermarket 10 minutes walk.
A very nice appartment, ideally for 5-6 people. Near to the centrum, pubs, bars and supermarket next to the building or accros the street - but the appartment is still quite. A really good price-preformance. Thanks for hosting...

©1972 Arnold Lobel; (P)1992 HarperCollins Publishers
I'm a mom. I have drama in my life. I don't want books with the F-bomb, nor graphic violence. I read for fun and to bring my family together. I read for reducing stress levels. We have never had a television in our home and our children are now mid twenties to 19. We listen together and look for belly-wrenching laughter. So what is it like to live without a TV? Awesomely educational and inspirational. Each new book is a marvel.
"Frog and Toad are Friends and the sequel is sweet"
Frog and Toad do many things together. Toad loses his list, they eat cookies and Toad even has a nightmare that Frog shrinks. They are best friends and in each mini story they work together to make their relationship work. I loved hearing the author read the story.

Dear Friends,
After 10 years of research and writing, "Babe's Place: The Lives of Yankee Stadium," is finally published!!!
I mailed copies of the book to family, the New York Yankees, the Baseball Hall of Fame, Major League Baseball, libraries, and other sources. At this time I have 40 copies for sale.
It's hardcover and is 8 1/2"x11," weighs over 4 pounds, and has 511 pages. "Babe's Place" covers the history of the New York Yankees and Yankee Stadium. It contains 151 photos of the 1970s renovation. Some are in color. There are also 88 non-Yankee Stadium renovation photos. This includes some color and non-color photos of the Yankees at Shea Stadium in 1974 and 1975. There are 30 color photos in the book. Most of the photos are 3 3/4" x 4 3/4". That's 239 photos.
There are also 212 responses by former baseball players, umpires, baseball executives, and others as to how they feel about the renovation of Yankee Stadium.
I plan to have another printing of the book in February or March of 2013. The research is solid, and I enjoyed putting this book together.
For anyone interested in purchasing a copy, I am accepting checks or money orders for $50. The book is $45., plus postage of $5. via the U.S. Post Office. I am not set up for credit cards, Pay Pal, etc.
Please mail to: Michael Wagner
3809 S. General Bruce Drive, Suite103
Temple, TX 76502
To reserve a copy, please e-mail me at email@example.com
I'd be happy to sign it if you wish. If anyone would like it inscribed, please let me know, and include the recipient of the inscription.
I am also accepting applications for a book agent to have "Babe's Place" published, promoted, and distributed on a national level.
Thank you.

Hi Friends!
Ben here from Middle Tennessee. My wife and I have talked about becoming beekeepers and we jumped in this (past) weekend. We are very excited and are looking forward to learning how to be good bee keepers. My sweet wife signed on here also, I'm sure she'll be along shortly.
A bee-ginner,
