Biden's Gun Push Draws NRA Ire
Vice President Joe Biden said Thursday he would recommend the White House push for broad measures to stem gun violence, citing growing support for tighter background checks on gun purchasers, restrictions on high-capacity clips and other moves.
But the National Rifle Association delivered a swift rebuke following a meeting with Mr. Biden, saying the administration was gearing up for an attack on gun ownership.
Mr. Biden said he would deliver his recommendations Tuesday to President Barack Obama, who has promised a quick effort to put them into practice. The strong opposition from the NRA, the nation's most powerful gun-rights group, suggested proponents of new measures had substantial work to do to build political support.
"We disagreed, obviously, on important issues,'' said James Baker, director of federal affairs for the NRA, who attended the meeting Thursday with Mr. Biden. In a written statement, the NRA said it was "disappointed with how little this meeting had to do with keeping our children safe and how much it had to do with an agenda to attack the Second Amendment.''
Mr. Biden and other administration officials have met with a range of groups this week, among them medical associations, victims' rights and sportsmen's organizations, entertainment-industry trade groups and gun retailers, as part of an assignment from Mr. Obama to draw up a response to the school killings last month in Newtown, Conn.
Mr. Biden detailed some of his potential recommendations before a morning meeting with sportsmen's groups and others, saying they had arisen from his discussions so far and had broad support.
He didn't say in his public comments whether he would recommend an effort to revive the federal assault-weapons ban that expired in 2004. But Mr. Baker, the NRA official, said Mr. Biden all but threw his support behind a ban during the private meeting the NRA attended Thursday. The White House declined to comment on Mr. Baker's characterization of Mr. Biden's position.
In his public comments, Mr. Biden also said he had heard a "surprising recurrence'' of suggestions from groups he consulted that the nation require a background check for every gun purchase. Currently, checks are only needed for purchases from federally licensed dealers, in an effort to make sure that buyers aren't prohibited from owning a firearm.
Many proponents of tougher rules have called for closing what some call the "gun show loophole,'' which allows sales without background checks from private sellers who often do business at gun shows. Mr. Biden suggested that background checks be applied even more widely, to all private sales, wherever they occur. Gun-control advocates say that a substantial share of the nation's gun sales are excluded from the background-check requirement.
Richard Feldman, president of the Independent Firearm Owners Association Inc., said a number of areas of agreement emerged during the meeting attended by the NRA, especially on civil commitment laws for the mentally ill and increased penalties for gun trafficking. Mr. Feldman said he differed from many in the room by backing expanded background checks at gun shows. He said, however, he opposed requiring background checks on all gun sales.
The NRA said it opposes Mr. Biden's plan to expand background checks.
Depending on how they are crafted, most of Mr. Biden's potential recommendations would likely require legislation. Mr. Obama can take some steps without agreement from Congress, as he has executive authority to ban certain gun imports and strengthen some aspects of background checks.
"We can do a great deal without in any way imposing on and impinging on the rights of the Second Amendment," Mr. Biden said in public comments.
Mr. Biden also suggested he would try to reverse restrictions on government research on weapons injuries, which he suggested had been put in place as an effort to blunt gun-control measures. "I mean, we don't have that information. And the irony is, we're prohibited, under laws and appropriations bills, from acquiring it,'' he said.
Several research groups, including the National Research Council, part of the congressionally chartered National Academies, have complained that a lack of data on firearm use and ownership has meant they cannot draw conclusions on key questions related to guns. Mark Rosenberg, former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's injury-prevention center, said in The Wall Street Journal late last year that the agency stopped most of its research on gun violence after 1996, following a successful lobbying campaign by gun-rights groups.
Mr. Baker said that at Thursday's meeting, he suggested the administration work on ways to push states to submit mental-health records into the background-check system, an emerging area of consensus in response to Newtown. Mr. Baker said he also raised questions about whether current gun laws were being sufficiently enforced, and talked about the need for increased security at schools. As a response to the Newtown shootings, the NRA has proposed that every school have armed security.
Mr. Baker argued that data had shown that the 10-year assault-weapons ban that expired in 2004 had been ineffective, and that the vice president responded that the administration's support for the banning of assault weapons, large-capacity magazines and universal background checks was "not going to change." Mr. Baker said he made clear that the NRA "would do everything in our power'' to see that new gun-ownership restrictions don't pass. "Our leaders do not believe that their legal choices of firearms should be dictated by a homicidal maniac in Connecticut,'' he said.
While Mr. Biden prepares to present his ideas to the president, White House allies have begun organizing to build public support for gun control. Neera Tanden, president of the liberal Center for American Progress, which has close ties to the White House, said she sees an opportunity to reshape the conversation and appeal to moderates.
Americans for Responsible Solutions, launched by former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D., Ariz.), who was seriously injured in a shooting spree, and Mayors Against Illegal Guns, led by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, also are emerging as key voices in the gun-control effort.
Opponents of new gun restrictions also have been preparing for a fight over proposals from the White House and lawmakers.
Rep. Bobby Scott (D., Va.,), vice chairman of a congressional gun-violence task force, said in an interview that gaining bipartisan support on gun-safety measures "may be challenging."

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Nancy, Those tables do make a good cutting table. My DH put a door across the legs and made a table for me but also had to mount the legs on a 2X4 to raise it up to cutting height. I love mine.
Quilting with a friend keeps me in stitches.
Since everyone here is quilting at one time or another thought I would show you how my brain works.

Well Nancy is pretty hard to mess up. I have never been called anything but Nancy, although, sometimes people want to spell it with an 'i' or an 'ie.' Well sometimes people want to call me 'Nanc' even my brothers do that - so I don't mind!

Ha I know what you mean about the Mom thing. One time about 30 some years ago. Ahem. I was at a factory fabric sale. I was wondering around buying fabric - I had my hand on a kid's head for a while. Then he looked up and I looked down - wasn't my kid. He was the right height, his hair was sorta right, he had on a blue coat... LOL I betcha you don't wanna do that these days... Oh and my kid wasn't along.
NEVER let a sewing machine know you are in a hurry.

<p>Photographer Mario Casilli changed the way we looked at beautiful women. See his early pics of Playmates from the 1950-60s. </p>
For almost 40 years, Mario Casilli was the eye behind some of Playboy's most iconic photos. From 1957 to 1996 he shot 57 centerfolds, 20 pictorial features and 19 covers. Casilli started taking pictures at the tender age of 14, while he attended the Cleveland Institute of Art. From there he did a stint in the navy and when he was discharged he moved to Hollywood and worked under two photographers to the stars, Paul Hesse and Bernard of Hollywood. He started snapping for Playboy in the '50s, at first working in the pinup style of the day. His work was a hit, which lead to his decades long association with Playboy.
As time went on, Casilli developed a unique style: portraits that were enchanting and hazy, all shot in dreamlike soft focus, and his work was immensely influential, both in the pages of glamour magazines and throughout mainstream publications. By the 1980s Casilli was shooting the biggest stars of film, television and rock while still creating stunning images for Playboy. Today we're looking back to the very beginning of Mario Casilli's career and presenting some of his sensational early work.
Jacquelyn Prescott was the subject of Mario Casilli's very first gatefold shoot. Miss Prescott was, at the time, working as an ad man's secretary when she was spotted by a Playboy staff member… a staff member who was supposed to be selling ad space but instead ended up signing a new model for the magazine. She was crowned Miss September 1957 and now this strawberry blonde belongs to the ages.
Raven-haired knockout Susie Scott (not to be confused with the May 1983 Playmate of the same name) didn't submit a biography or do a Q & A for her Playboy pictorial in February 1960, so we're going to have to let her photographs speak for themselves. They say a picture is a worth a thousand words but every pic of Susie is worth that and so much more.
You will be dazzled by the contrast between the bright red lips, jet black hair and milky skin of Barbara Ann Lawford. Her dark Irish looks (and her 36D bosom) are eye-grabbing and every inch of her is captivating. Barbara Ann worked as a bunny in the Chicago Playboy Club before getting called up to the big leagues to star in the pages of Playboy as Miss February 1961.
Mario Casilli changed the way we look at gorgeous women. Take in the gallery above to see where it all began.

Bend won't appeal state water project ruling
BEND, Ore. - The city of Bend said Thursday it will not appeal a recent decision by Oregon's Land Use Board of Appeals that sent its controversial surface water project plans back to the city for more work.
In early December, LUBA determined Bend's Water Public Facility Plan did not adequately cover the Bridge Creek water project and improperly includes facilities that provide service outside Bend's Urban Growth Boundary. Thursday was the final day the City could appeal LUBA's findings.
LUBA agreed with the city on six other issues raised in the land use challenge, including whether the plan used good information in determining future water demand.
"LUBA concluded the water plan was accurate and complies with land use requirements," the city announcement said. "The city will work to remedy the issues raised by LUBA over the coming months."
Bridge Creek is Bend's main source of drinking water, supplemented by groundwater wells. Bend is undertaking a project to update and improve the aging Bridge Creek drinking water supply system.
However, the city council may change where Bend goes on the project, as several new city councilors were elected and said they had serious concerns with the city's direction. Central Oregon LandWatch had appealed the city's plans and the land-use board also sided with it on several points, though not all.
Paul Dewey, executive director of Central Oregon LandWatch, said the group is pleased the city won't appeal the decision, and their group won't either. He also said that "as the prevailing party in the litigation," they have filed a request to seek legal fees from the city.
Dewey said the new council now will be able to reevaluate the city's Tumalo Creek diversion project "and other inadequacies/errors in its proposed Water Public Facilities Plan."
"With the city proposing nearly $200 million in new water infrastructure projects, the new City Council needs to cut and prioritize these costs," Dewey said. "The LUBA remand allows the city to reconsider those excessive water projects."

Some favorite names are coming on ice now.
I have my pot of tea and hope for Nan Song to be able to get 2 spots for China so we can see him and Han Yan at next Worlds. He's skinny now and didn't do so well at QR but supposedly he was too relaxed.
The place will go mad for Joubert.
I wonder why some skaters need TWO coaches?
Is Nan Song ok since 4cc? He doesnt look like having much energy.
Ah, not quite Nan Song's day, seen way better, but here's hoping he can pull himself up during the FS.
Nan looks thinner to me. Maybe he hasn't fully recovered yet.
Huge opening 4T-3T, really fought for the 3A, but went down on the 3Lz.
Boo yeah, Reynolds still in 2nd!
Nan has not looked too healthy lately. His fans have been concerned about his purple lips. Too bad for the fall.
3rd place. He should have done better.

I don't think so, the Mauser 98K has a 24" and a Mosin Nagant 91/30 has a 29" barrel.is roughly 26 inches too much barrel for 8x57?
That would be cool if they would offer a longer .311 blank I'd buy one I'm sure.
One thing I noticed though, is their 27x1.2 8mm blank for about 96 bucks. I totally am thinking of getting it and having it turned as thick at all its dimensions as possible while still accepting my m76 barrel components hehe is roughly 26 inches too much barrel for 8x57? It would be my super 76 hehe
I don't think so, the Mauser 98K has a 24" and a Mosin Nagant 91/30 has a 29" barrel.is roughly 26 inches too much barrel for 8x57?
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
Nice haha I need to get that blank then, though my m76 would maybe go from heavy to shoulder spasm heavy haha. But it would be cool. I can imagine it now if I keep it as close to 27 inches as I can with the flash hider it might be almost 30 inches haha awesome.
Id keep it a around 24" 26 being the longest. i dont think you will gain much after 24. rememaber the you only want as long of a barrel as needed to get the best velocity VS barrel stiffness the shorter the barrel the less it will walk and flex etc. If i could get the speed out of a shorter stiffer barrel I would. Unless your looking for a certain look Id gow ith a practical length. 8mm is pretty close to a 30-06 in case capacity etc and you seldom see 26: barreld 30-06's any more most are 22" or 24".
Im going to try a super heavy barrel pistol at some point with about a 13" barrel I think one of the reasons mY AMD 65 is more accurate than many of my 16" barrels rifles is that the short barrel is stiffer and actualy braced by the suoer tight fitting gas tube that holds my scope mount. If these GM barrels will give any type of decent accuracy then Ill try one on a hunting pistol. Im not expecting much for $30 BTW.
thanks big gun i was realisticly thinking somewhere between 24 and 26 inches. from what i've been reading there are some gains to be had with 8mm having a 26 inch barrel over a 24" when reloading and slower powder and it doesn't really seem to hinder factory/surplus perfomance, also instead of tappering like the factory m76 barrel i will have it step keeping each part of the barrel as thick as i can with it being just slightly smaller than the gas block all the way till the last few inches where i'll step it down for my front sight/fh. or is the gradual tapper the m76 has a better design?
Well I gave them a call. Talked to them about just labeling the land and grove dimensions of the barrel since it can be used for more things than 7.62x39. Also inquired about a longer barrel blank, they are looking at it but are going to be doing some AR barrels for a bit.
I ordered two of the GM blanks, which came in last week. I just checked the bores, and one is .314, the other .315 across the grooves.
All my AK barrels are in the shop at the moment, but my Mosin was handy and miked at .315.
This is just with a dial caliper.
HMMMMM they said they were air guaged at one point I think. it never said how tight they held there tolerances. I dont expect much for $30 but well see what they can do.I just checked the bores, and one is .314, the other .315 across the grooves.
I have a ruger bolt action that was very very accurate Im tempted to screw a barrel on it to see defenitivly what is possable in a 7.62x39 perhaps a .308 barrel as well. the action has a 1"-16 thread so it would be doable.
Keep in mind a caliper is not the same thing as slugging the bore and throwing a micrometer on the slug. Calipers are great when close tolerances arent needed.
Whatever site I read it on as a members tag line, it's the truest statement ever made.

A combination of the words "nerd" and "orgy" to describe a gathering of overly excited nerds sharing a collective nerdgasm over their mutual obsession (this includes Trekkies, LARPers, and other superfans in one place, such as a Con).
Can also be spelled as nergy.

Yahoo! Q2 Rev Misses; Q3 View Light, Cuts Year View
Yahoo! (YHOO) this afternoon reported Q2 revenue that missed analysts' estimates but beat on the bottom line.
Revenue in the three months ended in June rose to $1.07 billion, yielding EPS of 35 cents.
Analysts had been modeling $1.08 billion and 30 cents a share.
Shares were up for a moment in late trading, then gave up those gains, now down 56 cents, or 2%, at $26.32.
Display advertising revenue fell 12%, year over year, to $472 million. Excluding the cost of acquiring traffic, or "TAC," revenue was down 11%. The company's total number of ads sold fell 2% from a year earlier.
The price paid per display ad fell 12% from a year earlier.
In search, the company reported a 9% drop from the year earlier, to $418 million, though that was actually up 5% at $403 million excluding TAC.
The price paid for each click on a search result listing fell 8% from a year earlier.
The company ended the quarter with cash, cash equivalents, and investments totaling $4.8 billion.
Yahoo!'s CEO Marissa Mayer said she was "encouraged" by the results and noted recent product improvements:
I'm encouraged by Yahoo!'s performance in the second quarter. Our business saw continued stability, and we launched more products than ever before, introducing a significant new product almost every week. From the new Yahoo! News, the new Yahoo! Sports app, the redesigned Yahoo! search, the new Flickr, the new Yahoo! Mail for tablet, the Yahoo! Weather app, our new Yahoo! app with Summly - this quarter drove tremendous improvements in our product line and our users responded with increased usage and engagement.
As noted by several media outlets today, Mayer is holding a video webcast of her conference call with analysts at 5 pm, Eastern time. You can catch that broadcast on Yahoo!'s own Yahoo! Finance Web site.
Update: Bloomberg is reporting figures provided by the company project Q3 revenue, after TAC, of $1.06 billion to $1.1 billion, which would be below the $1.12 billion the Street has been modeling.
Briefing.com is now reporting further detail apparently from the conference call deck of slides. For the full year, the company is cutting its revenue view to a range of $4.45 billion to $4.55 billion from a prior range of $4.5 billion to $4.6 billion. That revised range is below the current consensus for $4.53 billion.
My peer Chris Ciaccia at TheStreet.com has directed me to the online link for those foils from the call, which you can find posted on an external website. Thanks, Chris!
The stock is now down 66 cents, or 2.5%, at $26.22.
Correction: A prior version of this post listed the amount of search revenue excluding TAC, $403 million, as being a decline from the prior-year period. In fact, that $403 million amount was a 5% increase, not a decline. My apologies for any confusion caused by the error.

Looks like I might be able to get a three acer field hopefully will be able to plant sweetclover in it this spring.Got some questions for you folks.
1-Would you plant half in white sweet and the other half in yellow sweet clover or would you mix the seeds up and plant it that way?
2-Will there be any flow from this field next summer and if not can I cut it for hay and it not hurt it for 2014 crop?
3-How many hives should I set aside to maxamize production in this field in 2014?
4- What month does sweetclove bloom?
5-Thanks for your imput beforehand;)

Canon EOS 600D in depth reviewThursday March 17 2011 Sensor Review
Compared to Nikon D5000 & Sony A55
The EOS 600D uses the same 18-megapixel sensor already seen in the EOS 550D. This sensor has a higher definition than that of its competitors, and largely dominates the D5000 (only 12 megapixels). Back in the days when the D5000 was launched, this was a good standard. But more pixels does not mean better metrics, and indeed, the DxOMark Scores for the EOS 600D place it behind both the D5000 and Alpha 55, handicapped by a lower Landscape and low light performance scores. The D5000 and the Alpha 55 have comparable DXOMark Scores.
The Canon is deeply penalized by persistent noise noticeable in the dark areas at low ISO settings. The dynamic range graph and the EOS 600D curve directly points to this phenomenon. From ISO 100 to ISO 400, the EOS 600D's curve is horizontal, with both the D5000 and the Alpha 55 scoring 1EV above it.
Once again, as noticed with the EOS 1100D, analyzing the full SNR graph for the D600 confirms the problem. The curves representing ISO 100 and ISO 200 overlap on their left sides (the dark zones, with the curve for ISO 400 very close as well, which should not be the case.
Let's look at the SNR 18% metrics, which simply confirm all of this: the D5000 produces less noise than the EOS 600D, no matter the ISO speed. The difference is as high as 3 dB between ISO 100 and ISO 400, and slowly decreases afterwards.
The same kind of performance can be noticed for color sensitivity. The EOS 600D is outperformed by the D5000, and here again the difference can be quite significant, reaching almost 3 bits at ISO 400.
Further readings for the Canon EOS 600D in depth review
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
We are already acquainted with the D3200: apart from a few ergonomic details, it's the same camera as the compact and lightweight D3100 SLR, though missing the secondary display on its bridge for even greater compactness. The D3200 weighs only 454 grams (without battery or card). Unlike the D3100, the D3200's lens is off-center for better balance and the highly practical LiveView/video mode activation tab of the D3100 and the D5100 has disappeared in favor of a more ergonomically mundane video recording button. The D3200 comes with a second (dorsal) infrared sensor to complement its front sensor for more practical infrared remote control. The motor selection tab (single-frame, burst, timer, remote control) is gone as well, again replaced by a direct-access button.
The EOS 600D looks much like the EOS 550D, which, however, it does not replace. Both bodies will remain in Canon's lineup. The 600D utilizes most of the 550D's hardware features, including its 18-megapixel sensor; it adds an articulated screen, along with the "beginners" functions and creative filters first seen on the EOS 60D.
The review is available here.

Are Foo Fighters more important than Nirvana? Such a thought might have been considered heresy even five years ago. But the re-release of a new, expanded DVD version of Nirvana's final official recording, Unplugged in New York (DGC), considered together with Foo Fighters' new Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace (RCA) is enough to make a long-time fan of both bands think twice.
Unplugged remains a landmark live recording. In hindsight, it's apparent that the self-loathing in Kurt Cobain's voice is not palpable as he bites into the line "Teenage angst has paid off well but now I'm bored and old" in the stripped-down live version of "Serve the Servants." If anything, he seems to be smirking. There's also no twinkle of knowingness in his piercing blues as he sings, "I got so high that I scratched 'til I bled/Love myself better than you/I know it's wrong, so what should I do?" in "On a Plain" — a description of heroin addiction that should be familiar to any fan of the A&E reality drama Intervention. And when, in a strained voice, he repeats "And I swear that I don't have a gun" in a mellow "Come As You Are," he doesn't look as if he were keeping some big secret. If anything, Kurt has an air of nonchalance about him. He half-heartedly leads the band, whose line-up by then included guitarist Pat Smear, through what would be edited down to a tight 14-song set for mass consumption on both MTV and Geffen Records. He jokes, "I guarantee I will screw this song up," referring to Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World." And in the bonus footage of the band's rehearsals, Kurt is continually thrown off by a chord that Smear has added to the chorus. After Kurt's admission, someone — Grohl perhaps — answers, "Yeah, like he'll only screw one song up."
Chalk that up to good-natured ribbing. Or perhaps we should invest it with more meaning. Shot in November of '93, Unplugged in New York was pretty much the last time Nirvana appeared as a functioning band. On March 4 of the following year, Kurt overdosed in Rome; that forced the cancellation of a European tour. And on April 8, he took his own life with a shotgun in his Seattle home. You'd think there'd be some evidence of this impending doom on Unplugged in New York. But unless there's something to be diagnosed from Kurt's incessant smoking, or the general sense that the band haven't spent much time preparing for the unplugged performance, the reasonably candid Unplugged in New York DVD doesn't offer any great revelations.
That's not to suggest that there isn't plenty here for Nirvana enthusiasts. You don't even have to be a Cobain fanatic to appreciate the behind-the-scenes footage of the band's dress rehearsal (a misnomer if ever there was one because only Grohl seems "dressed" for the occasion). It's especially amusing to watch as it becomes clear that no amount of tweaking is going to make Pat Smear's background vocals, Dave Grohl's second guitar, or any other accompaniment work with the way Kurt is playing "Pennyroyal Tea." Listen closely to the start of the version that made the final cut and you'll hear him still struggling to find the key.

I have no use for single bevels, but they make me reconsider my priorities..
I'm just speechless (and that doesn't happen often). More details please, and more pictures, many more pictures! Were these a special project instigated by you (that would be the corporate 'you') or did you just snatch them up when they were made available? How did he manage to maintain such a dark etch after smoothing out the surface? And how the hell did he mirror polish the backside without dulling the etch? Ok, guess I'm not so speechless after all, but a man's gotta know

These 2 knives were special orders for us. Unfortunately we know nothing about the coloring process, its a secret of the polisher. All the polisher said is that the knives are not coated in any way and the color is derived from the polish. I wish we could give you more info.
Wow! Those are astonishing to say the least. I would of been reluctant on using one if I had it.
Just now seeing these...wow. Stunners, the whole lot. Is the appearance purely aesthetic? Or is there some functional value as well?
Remember: You're a unique individual...just like everybody else.

Rail Simulator took to the Rails publicly for the first time at the annual European Games Convention at Leipzig and announced a working partnership with Deutsche Bahn. The first playable version of the game was exhibited at the show on the Electronic Arts and Microsoft Games for Windows stands as well as to the worlds press in the business centre.
Kuju also announced Deutsche Bahn as Rail Simulator's official German railroad partner; Deutsche Bahn is the leading railway and logistics operator in Germany. Kuju is working with Deutsche Bahn to ensure that its German route, which will feature the DB BR101 running between Hagen and Siegen, is as accurate as possible.
And of course, Rail Simulator's very first screenshots were captured! Jonathan Newth, MD for Kuju's Rail Simulator, commented "We're delighted to be able to release our first set of Rail Simulator screenshots and with Rail Simulator's first major outing at the Leipzig Games Convention!"
Rail Simulator will offer the opportunity for players to take charge of steam, diesel and electric trains on real routes in the UK and Germany. Challenging and fun gameplay will even enable players to design their own ideal journey routes. Rail Simulator will become the gold standard rail simulation title and will fully support the creation of add-on third party content.
Rail Simulator is to be published and marketed in Europe by Electronic Arts (Nasdaq: ERTS). www.ea.com

Cutting Darell Scott???
Scott made his first career start against the Chiefs. He finished the game with 26 rushing yards on five carries and caught one pass for zero yards. In four games, Scotts 56 rushing yards on 10 carries were second on the team to David Wilsons 130 yards. Scott also had 10 receptions for 98 yards, including his first career touchdown on a 23-yard pass from Eli Manning vs. Denver on Sept. 15.
So.... You start a guy, who rushed for 5 yards a carry, then you cut him? Isn't he like the last guy besides cruz to catch an Eli manning TD catch?
Pretty funny! I thought D'Scott was the only guy over-achieving on this roster. Nothing spectacular but still better then wilson, or jacobs, or like everyone else on the field.
Wake up call for everyone with a big contract and does not produce! Giants will cut your teammates if you dont shape up!

Confirmed: Abu Yahya al-Libi, Al Qaeda's number two, killed in drone strike
posted at 4:44 pm on June 5, 2012 by Allahpundit
Reports of his demise were not greatly exaggerated.
Al Qaeda's deputy leader, Abu Yahya al-Libi, was killed in a drone strike in northern Pakistan, an American official confirmed on Tuesday, in the biggest single success in the controversial campaign's eight-year history…
Characterizing what the loss would mean to Al Qaeda, the American official said: "Zawahri will be hard-pressed to find any one person who can readily step into Abu Yahya's shoes — in addition to his gravitas as a longstanding member of AQ's leadership, Abu Yahya's religious credentials gave him the authority to issue fatwas, operational approvals, and guidance to the core group in Pakistan and regional affiliates. There is no one who even comes close in terms of replacing the expertise AQ has just lost."
A "senior Pakistani official" told the Times he had no independent confirmation of al-Libi's death but other Pakistani intel sources reportedly heard from locals at the scene that he was inside a house in Waziristan when it was hit by a missile. An unnamed Taliban leader who spoke to Reuters called it a "big loss" and said, "After Doctor Sahib (al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri), he was the main al Qaeda leader." The White House is confident enough in what they've heard that Jay Carney saw fit to mention it at today's briefing. My sense of al-Libi is that he was more like Anwar al-Awlaki than any other prominent AQ chieftain insofar as he was known mainly for his preaching/propagandizing but evidently was an operational mover-and-shaker behind the scenes as well. More from NBC:
Pakistan security reports indicated the pre-dawn strike killed 15 insurgents, with a total of nearly 30 killed in three weekend attacks. A U.S. official challenged those numbers, telling NBC News that the death toll was "less than a handful."…
U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, characterize him as irreplaceable in his expertise, ability and influence…
In May 2011, shortly after bin Laden was killed, U.S. officials identified Abu Yahya as one of five potential successors to the slain al-Qaida leaders. The leading candidate, Ayman al Zawahiri, ultimately did succeed bin Laden. The other four potential successors now have all been killed in drone strikes.
Have a look at the graphic (from Reuters) that NBC chose to accompany its piece. It actually undersells the success Obama and the CIA have had with drones: Atiyah Abdel Rahman, AQ's field general, is listed as being at large but he was actually liquidated last year. Ilyas Kashmiri, another jihadi mastermind in the making, was eliminated three months before Atiyah and he's not mentioned in the Reuters graphic at all. Unless I'm forgetting someone, there are only three big-name Al Qaeda members left. One is Saif al-Adel, who may or may not still be under house arrest in Iran; the second is Adnan al-Shukrijumah, who was identified as a major threat by U.S. officials not long after 9/11 and really hasn't been seen since; and the third is Zawahiri himself. If the intelligence we're getting on the ground is now strong enough to let us reach even someone as important as al-Libi, there's no reason to think Zawahiri will last much longer. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if Petraeus and company already have a hunch where he is and, a la Bin Laden, Obama and his national security team are now weighing whether to use drones or to try to grab him. Another military incursion deep inside Pakistan would risk a permanent rupture of relations, but if he's hiding in or around a major city, the White House might decide that a blunt instrument like a drone strike is too dicey. Tough call.
Go read this post from lefty Michael Tomasky spiking the football over yet another drone-driven success. It's important to bookmark stuff like that now, because if/when Romney becomes president, liberal CW on drones will move instantly from appreciation for a surgical counterterror weapon that dismantled Al Qaeda to horror at a brutal automated killer that spares neither the guilty nor the innocent on the ground. It's coming, so prepare.

text: I fixed the drone in my truck with this. After reading some info. about drone on another site which I am a member, I decided to try this for myself. I cut about 15" off my tailpipe. (right before the bend to go out behind the wheel, so I cut out the last bend and the end) The drone magically was reduced. I later removed all the way back to the far rear hanger. There is no drone in the cab now. For those interested in the reasoning, here is the idea behind it. Drone in the exhaust is due to the engine driving the exhaust system at its resonant frequency. You can't get rid of it, any length of pipe has a natural frequency, but you can change the frequency (RPM) it happens at. Stock exhaust systems are tuned to put the resonant frequencies outside the normal RPM range the engine is run in. Sometimes they add resonators for this purpose. To raise the resonant frequency of a system, shorten its length. To do this, you can try tail pipes that exit by the wheel (like GM's have), or you can try a muffler with a shorter internal flow path. If you have a true dual system, you can change the natural frequency of the system dramatically by adding a balance tube. If you can't shorten the system, then you can add slightly less than one wavelength of pipe. This will also raise the resonant frequency of the system. The wavelength in a single converter system (not true dual) is a little less than three feet at 3000 RPM. Shortening the system by a foot or so will move a resonance at 2000 RPM to about 3000 RPM. To move a resonance, calculate the wavelength at the RPM that gives the resonance you want to move. Then calculate the wavelength at the RPM you would rather it be at. The difference is the length of pipe you need to add or delete. Add to lower the RPM, delete to raise it. If you want to raise it but you can't cut any pipe out, then add one wavelength of pipe minus the amount you calculated. This will have the same affect. If you add or subtract a multiple of a wavelength exactly, you will not change the resonant RPM. Wavelength = 1100 X 60 X 1/RPM X 1/4 X 1/2 or Wavelength = 8250 / RPM Wavelength = standing wavelength 1100 = speed of sound in air in feet per second 60 = convert RPM to Revs per second RPM = RPM 1/4 = four cylender firings per revolution (make this 1/2 for "true dual") 1/2 = standing wavelength is half the wavelength of a "normal" wave Most people know that placing the muffler closer to the rear reduces drone, but you can only move it so far back in a truck. The reason is not that the muffler is farther back though, it's because it is closer to the end of the pipe. Cutting off sections of pipe essentially does the same thing.

What to eat at breakfast?
Breakfast is one of the most important meal of the day, yet still I don't pay much attention to it. A quick bowl of cereal and cuppa is me done! I think I need to spice breakfast up

Re: What to eat at breakfast?
welcome to the forum Louise
Here in Wales the ground is covered in snow, on chilly mornings my darling usually make porridge .
We have a double saucepan and in the evening he gets the porrige ready to be cooked in the morning... water gets put in the lower saucepan and in the upper saucepan he puts the milk and oats so that they soak overnight.
When he gets up in the morning to make the morning cup of tea ( I'm spoilt )
He switches the heat on under the saucepan.
As the porrige is cooked i a doube saucepan it needs little attention , it cooks happily on its own and just needs a stir before it is served.
My daughter has a slow cooker that has a delay timer in it and so she does much the same only using the slow cooker.

Re: What to eat at breakfast?
The best mornings are the mornings in which I have time to lightly scramble 2-3 eggs in the residual heat of a lightly buttered frying pan (with black pepper, salt and chopped parsley), serve with baquette toasted in the oven, and make a cafetiere for a great cup of black coffee.
Needless to say I don't have time to do this in the week and I'm now feeling slightly bitter about the bowl of muesli I had this morning.

Re: What to eat at breakfast?
Breakfast is very important and it is even more important that I get some protein in or else I am sluggish and unfocused by 10am. First of all, breakfast should be quick. I have several things on hand for when I am in a rush.
- On Sunday I hardboil about 5-6 eggs and keep them in the fridge. I pull one out if I need a quick breakfast or snack during the week.
- Protein bars are very quick and handy, mine always include nuts and flax.
- yogurt drizzled with honey and fresh fruit, almonds and a spoonful of bran buds.
- Whole grain frozen waffle spread with peanut or almond butter
- Whole grain toasted english muffin with ham.
- when I have more time I will scramble a couple of eggs.
Even more importantly, is having a snack with me at all times. Usually it's a home made trail mix of various unsalted nuts and dried fruits. Apples are also handy to carry around.

Re: What to eat at breakfast?
It is summer here and so I think of Bircher muesli (rolled oats mixed with yoghurt and left til softened , then add grated apple, chopped almonds, and drizzle with honey. Go crazy with other fruits too, berries are especially nice in it.
On really hot days a smoothie is the perfect breakfast. I add oats as well so it has a bit of substance. eg orange juice, banana, yoghurt, milk, oats and honey and a couple of iceblocks. Blend until it is thick and wonderful.
Fruit salad and yoghurt.
In winter I think porridge (mostly oat porridge but I also love semolina porridge!), pancakes, whole grain waffles.
And then I am hungry for toast again!

Twenty Minutes on Thursday Morning.
It's October and it has gotten quiet in Vail happy valley.
The staff uses this time to prepare for the upcoming ski season. Housekeeping is fall cleaning the condominiums to a ridiculous level, the maintenance staff is tightening knobs after they clean and the front desk is sending out confirmations for the anticipated winter guests.
It's 10:40 in the morning and suddenly Darci, working the front desk, completely alone, chatting on the phone with a travel agent, can only watch as things UN-ravel in front of her. She dropped the phone.
One of the three guests staying with us fills her cup at our world class coffee station and gives a polite smile and good-bye to Darci as she pushes the lobby door open. She just wants to enjoy the sunshine on the other side. Darci smiles and waves to her while still talking to the travel agent. Our guest walks through the opening with an Antlers cup and the door falls off. The top hinge has let go.
The UPS guy is coming across the courtyard with a stack of packages on a dolly and he thinks the guest is holding the door open for him. Actually she is balancing the 100 lb door with one hand and holding her ceramic Antlers coffee cup in the other. He peaks around the packages he is wheeling and says "Thank you. Great day isn't it?"
Darci is now on the radio saying "Someone from maintenance please come to the front desk!"
"Give us a minute." was the reply.
"NOW", was her response.
Meanwhile……Magda walked into the Lobby and wanted to help after she saw the situation but she didn't know Miley, (Rob and Evelyn's dog, who he was tending for the day because Evelyn was out of town) was behind the closed door of the office. She opened it and Miley immediately ran past the UPS guy and toward the opened door that was still being held up by the guest who now has dropped her Antlers mug that has shattered on the cobblestone. The UPS guy helped her after realizing what was going on. He propped the door up against the wall.
Darci yelled to Magda "Get the dog!" She got back on the radio with her next announcement. "Does anyone know where Rob is? His dog is out and he's fighting with Maggie in the courtyard". (Maggie is Chris's dog and apparently they didn't hit it off.) Miley ran to the wild, not interested in a dog fight. Tom, Ryan, Cayatano and Magda split up on the back side of the property. I was on the fourth floor and heard this exchange.
"Anybody see her?"
Tom: "I'm on the bike bath. She's going west."
Ryan: "Did you say east?"
Cayatano: "I see her."
Tom: "See her too. She's on her way up Forest Road."
Magda: "Please, please, please get her. I'm the one that let the boss's dog out."
Tom: "This dog is friendly until you get close. Then she bolts."
Ryan: "It's a Border Collie. They're friendly and smart. She's playing games with you."
Tom: "I don't have time for games."
Darci is now on the phone calling Rob's cell. "Miley got out."
Rob calmly assures Darci that it will be fine. "I'm in 506 and I'll be right down. I'm sure she is already having separation anxiety and is looking for me." He hangs up the phone and runs toward the creek thinking "Evelyn is going to kill me."
I come down to the lobby and see the door leaning against the wall.
"What in the world is going on?"
Darci looks at me and says "All I know is I'm the only one here, the phones are ringing like we're giving away free units for Christmas, dogs are running through the lobby and fighting in the courtyard, the front doors are falling off, everyone is out looking for Rob's dog who is probably in Eagle by now and (she takes a deep breath) it's only eleven o'clock."
I turn and look toward the courtyard and Rob is riding one of the cruiser bikes and right behind him is Miley. Her tongue waging in the breeze and a smile on her face.
Ryan comes back to hang the door and Tom meets with a contractor who has just pulled in. Normal again. Except for Darci who decides to take an early lunch. She walks away and I hear her mumbling "You can't make this [expletive] up. I'm going to happy hour."
