Murder team quiz bouncer over headlock on drunk
Page Tools
An Adelaide man died while allegedly placed in a headlock by a hotel bouncer, police said.
The 25-year-old, Domenic Esposito, died while being evicted from a west suburban Adelaide hotel on Sunday night.
Police have launched a murder investigation into the incident, which occurred about 8.30pm (CDT) on Sunday at the Ramsgate Hotel at Henley Beach.
Police have questioned a security guard at the hotel who allegedly placed Esposito in a headlock while trying to evict him from the premises.
South Australian Police Superintendent Barry Lewis confirmed Esposito had been placed in a headlock by a bouncer, adding he died as a result of "alcohol, of conflict and of a person being removed from licensed premises".
Supt Lewis would not comment on the manner Esposito was restrained by the bouncer.
"That is a matter that will come out in the inquiry," he said.
Esposito had been drinking with two friends and witnesses said they were all intoxicated and refused to leave the hotel when asked by security staff.
Police were called and handcuffed Esposito's friends, who were subsequently charged with behavioural offences, and the trio was being escorted through the hotel foyer when Esposito died.

How does it propel a bullet at 19xx fps with such a low grain count?
Doesnt the higher the # of grains mean more power? Or am I totally wrong?
Any thoughts on the FNH USA 5.7*28 USG?
Though it only pushes a 27 or 40 grain bullet it does so at 1,932 and 1,737 fps. During my Army medic training we saw photos and films on wounds from various bullets. The 5.56 may be a small round but at speed it will put a small hole in (half dollar size) and large (grape fruit size) out. Nasty, nasty wound. Blew a very large hole the back of the guys leg right threw the femur which is the largest bone in the body.

Grain is a measurement of bullet weight.
Weight In Grains
Handloaders are interested in the weight of bullets in grains. There are 252.7 grains in one cubic inch of water. To calculate the total bullet weight in grains, the bullet volume, in cubic inches, is multiplied by the specific gravity value, and then by 252.7. The product is bullet weight in grains.
Kewl looking gun their dude
It's a .224 bullet and I think the 5.7x28mm round utilizes the same bullet if I'm not mistaken. All the factory amunition available to the commoners do not have the steel core as it has been banned from commercial sales. So this textbook example that you had been presented would be near impossible in any of the 5.7x28 rounds you could get your hands on. I too had recieved the Army's medic training but I assume mine has been much more recent. I'm also NREMT-B, BLS, and ALS certified.
I wonder if one could utilize surplus pull-down M193 bullets to handload some fragmenting rounds for the Five-seveN? Otherwise it would make a neat varmint pistol.

I've handled (but not shot) these two:
This funky looking rifle: http://www.talonarms.com/talonarms/i...91a15fc1bc63e6
And the handgun that I can't find in a quick search.
The handgun is extremely light. I don't think I've handled a handgun this light in my life, it almost feels like a toy. I've heard some weird things about the rifle's magazine, though. Apparently, if you drop the magazine it shifts the ammo inside, at which point you need a new mag because you can't get it open to fix it.
I'm not hearing much on it, though. I don't know anyone who owns one, and I never trust what I read. The only comments I hear from customers and co-workers alike is "I hear it's armor piercing." I have no idea if this is true or if they even sell ammo that would pierce armor for this thing.
Also, I'm not 100% sure, but I think the whole "drop the mag and the rounds flop around" might be a myth.
Hello I'm a Locksmith/Gun dealer in Arizona, I have a 5.7x28 pistol. I got it last October and I have put about 1500 rounds through it. Not a bad gun, I like the fact that it came with 3- 20 rd. magazines. Just stocked some of the 10 round add on mags the other day so I added one to my carry magazine. Shot it afterwards and it worked good. Spoke with a guy at the last gun show, he said he shot a Javalina with this gun- says the bullet went right thru, and the Javalina never seemed to notice. Had to shoot it again with a real gun. I also stock the PS-90 in my shop, it is the companion weapon to the 5.7 pistol. Looks neat, but I won't shoot it cause then it won't be new anymore. I hear the original armor piercing ammo is being sold as a collector's item and is called SS-190. Apparently the gun was designed around the SS-190 ammo, I guess it would go through a vest with the ammo currently sold, but I don't feel like it's much good as a tactical weapon without the armor piercing bullets. If you take off the slide you'd see that under the plastic is a lot of steel, at least on the slide, and the front&rear of the frame.
SS195LF does not fragment, it yaws, it actually perfroms very similar to the SS190. SS197SR does fragment becuase it has a 40gr v-max bullet which is perfect for small varmits and such, I have also dropped my mags quite a few times and the worst thing that happened was the top round popped out of the mag.
only the commie states that have the 10 rd mags cant be disassembled.

I've just recently started working with circular needles because I needed the cord for the length of the baby blanket I'm making. I like Addi's, mainly because of the semi-flexibility of the cord and the smooth join between needle and cord. A lady at one LNS told me to use the bamboo ones, but another one at another LNS told me to use the turbo LACE ones because they have a smoother join, but still have some "stickiness" to them. Being the perfectionist I am, I start off with the bamboo ones and stitch for a while and they feel "bundlesome" and rough at the joint, so I switch to the turbo Lace ones and I seem to be flying along but I'm not sure I'm as much in control. In addition the cord on the bamboo ones is really coiled, while the turbo lace one isn't. I'm just doing a simple little baby stroller coverlet about 26" x 36", my first real project, in garter stitch cause that's all I know how to do--and I've started over about 20 times because I can't decide whether to use the bamboo or the lace needles. Yes I know I'm out of control. Can someone tell me what would be best ones to use? Also if I'm doing this coverlet that's about 26" wide, wouldn't I use a 32" cord? One store tried to put me on a 24" cord, but that didn't seem logical to me.... I MUST move on from this OCD I seem to have about this coverlet--I'm sure it's because I'm about to be a 1st-time grandmother. Please help!!!!
I need/want to knit and quit worrying....
If it's only 26" wide, you can use the 24" just fine. The needle can be quite a lot less than the width of the item even working flat because the sts will just fill in the center, you don't need a lot of extra length. That could be why you're having a problem with the needle, it's too long. For the curling cord, hold the cord only in boiling water for a minute or so, then hold it straight as it cools.
Another thing to keep in mind is that the longer you use the Addi needles, the more you'll get used to them and you will feel more in control while using them.
Both the bamboo and the turbo lace are Addies. The bamboo feels a little more "secure" if that makes sense, but the joint doesn't feel as smooth as the turbo lace. My original LYS told me I just wasn't far enough along to use turbo lace, but another LYS told me to go for it. Does one knit prettier or whatever than the other? Should I just go ahead and push myself for the lace ones? In other words, which one should I use--bambo or lace (both Addi brand)? Is any of this making sense?
Sure, you are making perfect sense, but I think most people will tell you that it's really a matter of preference! I personally would go with the lace due to the smoother join and more flexible cable, but many new knitters feel more secure with the feel of the grip on the bamboo. Either way, the more you knit with either, the more comfortable you will feel with your stitches and the less you will worry!
Yeah, I'm thinking it's all about preference. Whichever ones you feel most comfortable with are the ones to use. Did anyone suggest the regular Addi Turbos? As a new knitter myself, I find the blunter tips the easiest to work with.
Thanks Margz and Craw--I think I've wanted to use the Lace ones all along, but just didn't have the confidence that I could do it. It appears LYS people have in their mind that new knitters can only use wooden needles, and I suppose I can understand that if you've never done handwork before, but I've been embroidering, cross stitching, etc. since I was 8 years ago and I'm pretty good at working with my hands.I have not ever tried the regular Turbos because even the woman who put me on the Lace ones said the Turbos were really slippery. It seems the Lace ones have some drag but the regular ones don't--I'm not sure I'm that far along yet. Craw, as a new knitter have you had a problem with them slipping?Thanks to those of you for suggesting the 24" circulars --I'll be dropping by to get one today. I think that may be part of my problem because the 32" ones spread my work out so far I can't tell what I'm doing or how it looks. Can you give me some advice on how to pick the length of the cable in the future? For instance, how wide can an item be and still use 24" circulars? When do I neeed to step up to the 32's, 40's, etc.Thanks to you all--you've been wonderful and taught me so much.
Stitches have slipped off of my Addi Turbos but nothing serious. Nobody told me I couldn't do it so I didn't have any problems for the most part. I've lost more stitches using bamboo and the Knit Picks Harmony straights anyway. I was holding up my work, admiring it, and oops! turned the needle the wrong way ... ziiiiiiiiiip goes the whole thing! :doh: ha ha I crocheted before I picked up the needles so yes, I can see that having done handwork before might make a difference.
If you'll be knitting in the round, then you need to use a needle length less than the circumference of the item. For flat knitting, it would have to be really wide, like an adult blanket or shawl with a larger number of sts on it to need the 40". Unless it's over 48" that's way too much needle, it just gets in the way. You don't need it to be longer than the width of the item. I find 29-36" to be a good length for almost everything - sweaters, blankets, afghans.
So Suzeeq if I'm doing a 26-28" wide blankie, do I need 24's or 32's? Such silly questions I know, but please bear with this learner. Maybe one day I'll be able to contribute instead of aggravating everyone with questions!!!
Either one will work. If you plan on doing a wider one at some point, then get the longer circs, unless you end up getting different ones for every project.
I've been wondering: are the needles that are used in the knitting demo videos on this site Addis? If so, what type of Addis are they?

Starting today you can download the new Outlook 2010 Social Connector to see what your contacts are up to on LinkedIn from right within the Outlook 2010 beta. When Office 2010 ships, you'll also be able to see your contacts' Facebook and MySpace actions in the same place.
But let's take a step back: what is the Outlook 2010 Social Connector? Take a look at the photo below:
At the bottom of each email you can see your recent meetings, emails, and SharePoint doings with whoever sent it, plus a photo. You can easily toggle the information off and on.
How does this save me time? Instead of searching or digging through my inbox, I can see the most recent info and email from Michael, for example, right in front of me. And when I step up from the beta to Office 2010, I won't have to go to Facebook to see what he's been up to lately. Instead, his recent Facebook, MySpace, and LinkedIn actions will show up right there in Outlook. (See photo below for what that will look like).
Dev Balasubramanian, a Product Manager on the Outlook team, summed it up nicely: "You can view friends' activities, photos, and status updates within Outlook — as well as grow your network by adding friends from the same view."
So, if you want to play with the Social Connector now,
- Download the Office 2010 Beta at www.Office.com/beta.
- Update to the latest version of the Outlook Social Connector using the instructions on the Microsoft Download Center.
- Get the LinkedIn download for the Outlook Social Connector at www.LinkedIn.com/outlook.
Important: LinkedIn for Outlook requires the latest version of the Outlook Social Connector, which supports the 32-bit English version of the official Microsoft Office 2010 Beta. Learn more about the whys and wherefores on the Outlook team blog. Also, the usual beta rules apply: it's provided as-is, subject to change without notice, and without formal product support from Microsoft.

text: Town of Saukville officials have had recurring concerns about the rising cost of fire protection provided by the Newburg Fire Department, a stance underlined last week by a reaction to a three-year contract proposal submitted by the department.A letter from Fire Chief David Geidel said department officials are aware of the financial constraints municipal officials are facing."We have been trying to hold the line on our spending because of the economic times," Geidel said.He said the department has also delayed its apparatus-replacement schedule by five years to minimize the tax impact."We cannot push off replacing trucks past 25 years," Geidel said.With that preface, he said the department is proposing no increase in the 2013 fire contract, followed by a 2% in 2014 and 3% in 2015.The department's 2012 fire contract was for $170,000, and a 4% increase was proposed for the next contract."The fire department wanted to give us a heads up on what they were thinking," Town Chairman Barb Jobs said.Town Board members said they would gladly support the zero-increase contract for 2013, but had problems backing the proposed increases for the upcoming years."How do we know we will be able to raise taxes next year? We don't have a crystal ball," said Supr. Curt Rutkowski.The department handled 38 calls in the township last year, including two structure fires. The year before there were 42 calls.The town receives fire protection from four neighboring fire departments, with Newburg serving as the lead agency.

The rod must be significantly harder than the steel blade so that the softer blade hones when rubbed against the harder rod. Mac knives are among the hardest available at 58 - 60° and therefore should only be honed using ceramic rods. Other brands of knives generally range 52°-57° and can easily be honed with the Black Ceramic Honing Rod.

Panhandle shelter mistakenly euthanizes dog
PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) - Employees of a Panhandle Animal shelter say a woman's dog was mistakenly euthanized because of improper paperwork.
The Pensacola News Journal reported that Cowgirl, a Labrador retriever mix, was euthanized Aug. 30 even though her owner had been in contact with the shelter for several days.
A report by the Escambia County Human Resources Department determined that an employee noted the owner's name and contact information on an identification card. But there wasn't a note on the front of the card that additional information was located on the back. The report included recommendations on how the shelter might avoid such mistakes in the future
Cowgirl isn't the first pet to be mistakenly euthanized by the shelter.
Reports show that on Oct. 25 a micro-chipped dog was put down after shelter employees were unable to contact the pet owner by phone. Shelter employees later found out the microchip manufacturer was able to reach the dog owner via email. A day earlier, a dog owner turned custody of her pit bull over to the county because it was aggressive, then changed her mind the same day only to find the dog had already been put to sleep.
Among the report's recommendations were: developing a written policy for all employees on procedures for the intake of animals, creating a spate identification process for animals that will be euthanized and requiring audits of paperwork on euthanized animals.

we now win BECAUSE of flacco,not just with him
on sports talk ALL YEAR, i heard people "hedging" their opinions on joe. they would constantly say, "this team can win w joe,but not BECAUSE of joe."
im so glad for Joe, because that means you really dont believe in him at all, but u still wanna be in the ballpark.
and yea, i was VERY knee jerk about him in the middle of the season. never stopped rooting for him, but was very frustrated. looks like it may have been cam all along. i guess no one was as frustrated as Joe himself, not being allowed to determine his own destiny
Joe Flacco is the main reason we WIN

With all of the challenges of daily life in urban Iraq either now, or under Saddam's reign this is no big deal.
It isn't a matter of being desensitized - it's a different way of life, standard of living, and sense of perspectives.
As I said, it's not model behavior (which is why they were smart enough not to identify themselves). However, in light of kidnappings, IEDs, beheadings, midnight executions, and suicide bombers it's pretty low on the ladder.
You can't overlay your priviliged sensibilities on this and make them apply.
What they did is no worse than a bunch of 20-something USCG PSU guys discovering just how well a Raider boat pulls water skiiers while the yacht hosting Senator and Mrs. John Glenn takes on water awaiting delivery of a dewatering pump. :tonka: Kids will be kids - and occasionally they need to blow off a little steam...

Pokerob is my B*tch!
Funny how since Mike posted this the GL stance is that they are just having fun. I wonder what the verdict would be if say Duffman posted the video with a statment of how they should not have been doing it. I bet the responses would be a complete 180.
It's not right and they give all soilders a bad name but if you can't see that then I'm sorry for you.

What they did is not right. If I would've caught them I would've made them unhappy groundpounders. Not official type trouble, but shitty (meaning unpleasant & menial, not dangerous) duty type trouble.
However, in the bigger picture it's nothing. I take exception to a college kid with his ass parked safely in Mt. P, debating whether he'd move to Canada before doing any compulsory public service, criticizing these guys ("our brave soldiers in Iraq"). THEY are due some slack. Period.
I won't get all personal or start tossing f-bombs. I completed my college education, and then stepped up and did my bit - not because I was brainwashed or stupid, but because it was my turn. I didn't get to stay in long because I had a little problem with a broken back that got me a medical discharge. After that, I contributed by joining the defense contracting business. This permits me to speak up - it's called credibility.
This is the Pub. Leave common sense at the door.

Just saw the video. I don't approve of what they did. It they were under my command, I would make them do some push ups or something. Not everybody is perfect. War has a way of changing people. Some for the better, some for the worse. I'm not going to pass judgement on them as I know that they don't represent EVERYBODY in the military. It doesn't paint a flattering picture for our guys when their doing what they did. But hell, I still don't see anything wrong with stripping an insergent naked and taping wires to his fingers while he wears a hood. I thought that picture was downright funny. The guy was in no danger. We had worse things happen to us as "Cherries" back when you could actually haze. The world ain't a perfect place. Bottom line is those two soldiers are providing the ability for us to have this forum discussion, pain and simple. God Bless the Troops.

I have been teased, picked on taunted, hazed i never wanted to strap a bomb to myself once. Also made to run with out water ALLOT farther than that kid. That kid didnt even run a half mile! I would willingly runs many miles playing basketball for 4-5 hours straight, or run miles playing lacross. That kid was not tortured. Heres a crazy angle i have seen little kids running for exercise and just for fun! MikeL your one sick twisted dude if you think that is grooming for a terrosist in that video.

I represent those soldiers, because I have done exactly that kind of shit in Sadr City. In fact, I condone it. There's actually even a tactical value to it. If you were under my command and compalined about that, I would plop your ass behind a desk on the FOB for the entire deployment because I would not want you outside the wire with me. I think the people in this thread that are whining about that video should stay in their sheltered little worlds and let other people do the job that you obviously can't handle. If you're whining about that video, you are an ignorant fukc and haven't a damn clue what you are talking about. I don't care who I have offended by that last statement, because its the truth.
When the same size/age kids in that video on the next block that you haven't made run or done anything to throw pieces of cinderblock, marble, watermelon, garbage, sewage, rocks, and glass bottles full of used motor oil at you, do you really think anybody really gives a fukc if you make them run for water? How about the ones on cellphones that call in your position?
We used to do that shit all the time. Know why? Because those worthess fucks over there EXPECT us to give them water - like that was our job. They demand it from you because they are used to being given truckloads of it by the US Government daily. Its not his "personal water bottle" - urban units are given cases of water daily to hand out. The little fucks beat on the truck windows demanding water, money, MRE's, etc when you stop and then the kids will take the water bottles and sell them on the next corner. Children supply a large percentage of the family income over there. Besides, if there are kids around or running after your trucks, you are a lot less likely to have something explode in your immediate vicinity.
Until you go, you will never understand. Sova will also never understand that the kid that got the bottle will go home and say one of the following to his family with pride:
"An American Soldier gave me this water."
"I beat out all the other kids and won this water from an American Soldier."
"I got this money for us by selling a bottle of water from an American Soldier."
What he won't say is:
"An American Soldier wouldn't give me any water."
"I got my ass kicked by all the other kids becasue I'm a lazy shit."
The kids that didn't get a bottle won't become terrorists. In fact, they won't say anything at all because they chose to give up and not compete for it.
If you candy-asses can't handle war, stay the fukc home and shut the fukc up. This thread is by far one of the dumbest things that has ever been posted on this site. Its not the video that the Soldiers should be embarassed about. The embarassing part is having volunteered their lives to defend the freedoms of people like you. Don't presume to speak about someone like that who has done such a thing for you, you ungrateful piles of shit.

Thanks for your insight which completed my thoughts that you are a piece of shit just like the two idiots in the video but I wouldn't expect anything else from you. I'm glad teasing underprivliged dirt poor kids is the way to go to obtain respect and win a war, or maybe it's the way to stay alive until the Gov. realizes that this so called peace keeping mission is worthless and pulls everyone home.
Why to show the pride of an american soldier.

This is a strange little recipe — kind of a cross between a cookie and candy. The key ingredients is crushed up Oreos.
Angel Squares
6 egg whites
¼ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla (my addition)
20 cream filled sandwich cookies, finely crushed (I used 22, because I'm competitive)
1 cup chopped, toasted pecans
1/2 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips. (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 13×9 inch pan with Release foil.
Beat egg whites until stiff. Beat in salt, baking powder, sugar and vanilla. Fold in sandwich cookies, toasted pecans and chocolate chips. Empty into prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. Let cool completely.
Grasp foil, lift from pan, cut into about 24 squares.

text: On his blog, Dan Walsh writes about a study done by Kirill Ermakov about SELinux as applied to a vulnerable Apache web server. The study found that even with SELinux protections, an attacker could still read /etc/passwd. Walsh: "This points out what most people do not understand about SELinux. SELinux does not necessarily block errors in applications from happening. SELinux will just contain them. If you are able to subvert the Apache application then you can become the Apache application and will have the rights allowed to the apache application. In his examples he was able to take over the Apache server and do what an apache server needs to do, including reading the /etc/passwd file." Walsh goes on to list several other things that could have been tested as they would be blocked by the SELinux rules (e.g. connecting to the mail port, reading random user files). In addition, he points out some ways that administrators could increase the SELinux containment of a web server.

Italo-Western languages
|Italy, France, Iberia
|Linguistic classification
Italo-Western is, in some classifications, the largest branch of the Romance languages. It comprises two of the branches of Romance languages: Italo-Dalmatian and Western Romance. It excludes the Sardinian language and Eastern Romance.
Italo-Dalmatian languages[edit]
Based on mutual intelligibility, Dalby lists four languages: Corsican, Tuscan, Napolitan–Sicilian, and Dalmatian.[2]
Dalmatian Romance[edit]
- The Dalmatian language was spoken in the Dalmatia region of Croatia. It became extinct in the 19th century.
- The Istriot, spoken on the Istrian peninsula of Croatia, Slovenia, and Italy.
Central-Southern Italian[edit]
- The Tuscan language includes Standard Italian and various forms of Regional Italian.
- The Corsican language is related to Tuscan and has the dialects of Gallurese and Sassarese.
- The Central Italian languages, or Latin-Umbrian-Marchegian, include the varieties of Romanesco and Marchigiano.
- Neapolitan language is spoken in Central-Southern Italy.
- The Italian of the Far South:
- The Sicilian language is spoken in Sicily; central and southern Calabria; in Roccagloriosa and Rofrano; and in the Salento peninsula of southern Apulia.
- The Venetian language is sometimes added to Italo-Dalmatian when it is excluded from Gallo-Italic, and then usually grouped with Istriot.
Judeo-Italian languages are varieties of Italian used by Jewish communities, between the 10th and the 20th centuries, in Italy, Corfu and Zante.
Western Romance languages[edit]
Based on mutual intelligibility, Dalby lists a dozen languages: Portuguese, Spanish, Asturian-Leonese, Aragonese, Catalan, Gascon, Provençal, Gallo-Wallon, French, Franco-Provençal, Romansh, and Ladin.[2]
Gallo-Romance includes:
- The Langues d'oïl, or Oïl languages. These include Standard French, Picard, Walloon, Lorrain and Norman.
- The Arpitan language, also known as Franco-Provençal. It shares features of both French and the Provençal dialect of Occitan. Sometimes included in the Oïl languages.
Gallo-Romance can include:
- The Rhaeto-Romance languages. They include Romansh of Switzerland, Ladin of the Dolomites area, Friulian of Friuli. Rhaeto-Romance languages can be classified as Gallo-Romance, or as an independent branch of the Western Romance languages.
- The Occitano-Romance languages of Southern France and East Iberia, includes Occitan and Catalan. Occitano-Romance languages can be classified as Gallo-Romance, Iberian-Romance, or as an independent branch of the Western Romance languages.
- The Occitan language, or langue d'oc, has dialects such as Provençal dialect, and Gascon-Aranese dialect.
- The Catalan language has standard forms of Catalan and Valencian. Can be classified as East Iberian.
- The Gallo-Italic languages. They include Piedmontese, Ligurian, Lombard, Emiliano-Romagnolo, Gallo-Italic of Sicily and Gallo-Italic of Basilicata. Gallo-Italic languages can be classified as Gallo-Romance or as Northern Italian dialects. The Venetian language is sometimes included in Gallo-Italic, but it has several characteristics that set it apart from it.[3]
The Oïl languages, Arpitan and Rhaeto-Romance languages are sometimes called Gallo-Rhaetian.
- The West Iberian languages:
- The Castilian languages: includes Spanish and Judaeo-Spanish.
- The Galician-Portuguese languages: includes Portuguese, Galician, Fala and Uruguayan Portuñol.
- The Astur-Leonese languages: they are, from east to west, Cantabrian, central-eastern Asturian and Leonese proper. Going from north to south, they are Leonese proper, Mirandese, Extremaduran and Barranquenho.
- The Pyrenean–Mozarabic languages: includes Aragonese, and the extinct Mozarabic. Can be classified as West Iberian.
- The East Iberian language, or Catalan language: usually classified as part of Occitano-Romance, see Gallo-Romance above.

Greener Pastures in the Hoosier State
Swan Lake Resort • Plymouth, IN
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in a Deluxe Room, Sundays through Thursdays or Fridays and Saturdays, with One Spa Treatment ($191)
- Or, a Two-Night Stay for Two in a Deluxe King or Double Queen Room, Sundays through Thursdays or Fridays and Saturdays, with Unlimited Golf and 90 Minutes of Golf Instruction ($270)
South Bend, Indiana, may be known for gold and blue, but all you want to see is green. With this Escape, you're headed to the Swan Lake Resort in Plymouth for downtime on the plains.
Bogey down with a two-night stay for two in a Deluxe Room adjacent to the course for a getaway that includes unlimited golfing and 90 minutes of golf instruction ($270). Or, if you'd rather say "ahh" than "fore," opt for a two-night stay that includes one spa treatment ($191). Either way, you'll feel home on the range with one king or two queen beds, Wi-Fi, and a spacious layout.
With the golf package, tee off your day on the Golf Club at Swan Lake Resort for unlimited golf during your stay. With two courses, the Black and Silver, the 36-holes accommodate players of all skill levels, from novices to seasoned pros. Drive down your score with 90 minutes of golf instruction, included with your stay, and other fairway events.
Fine-tuning your golf game might not be the type of relaxation you're shooting for. With the spa option, you can ditch argyle vests for terrycloth robes and swing by the Spa at Swan Lake. Look and feel your best with one included spa treatment of your choice. Try a soothing skin-refining facial with menthol and zinc or unwind with a warm basalt stone massage. Following a stress-melting steam in the sauna, you can dip into one of the two pools to cool down.
A day on the green or in the whirlpool is sure to work up an appetite. For a taste of the dining scene, slice into a smothered ribeye with sautéed mushrooms at The Restaurant & Lounge at Swan Lake Resort. It's a feast for both the stomach and eyes as you enjoy flaky halibut over couscous with a bacon-burgundy reduction while overlooking the beautifully landscaped pond.
Dive into this Hoosier heaven before you miss it. Whichever Escape you choose, it's sure to fit you to a tee.

China's steel and iron ore prices are rising fast as the nation faces downside macroeconomic risks, Hexun reported. In China, iron ore prices have risen over 10% since July and steel prices have risen to 5.9% to 3,590 yuan/ton.
China's crude steel output in the first 10 days of July declined to 2.08 million tons per day, down 4.5% from the previous 10-day period, the China Iron & Steel Association said. This marks the first fall in 10-day crude steel output in 2 months as steel mills of all sizes cut production. The latest figure translates into 760 million tons per year, which is off from 800 million tons in May and 787 million tons in June but still higher than 709 million tons in 2012. Crude steel output rose 10% year on year to 376 million tons in 1H 2013
The spot price for 5,800kcal coal declined by 5 yuan to 625 yuan/ton in the week through July 21, 2013 in the Chinese port city of Qinhuangdao, according to Sxcoal.com The spot price for 5,500kcal coal fell by the same amount to 580 yuan/ton, and the Bohai Bay coal index dropped by 9 yuan to 583 yuan/ton in the week. Coal inventory levels declined at independent power producers and were flat at Qinhuangdao. Total coal inventory at six coastal independent power producers rose to 20.1 days from the previous week's 19.4 days. Coal inventory in Qinhuangdao rose to 6.98 million tons from the previous week's 6.92 million tons.
Natural Gas
China's natural gas imports jumped 24.6% year on year to 24.7 billion cubic meters in 1H 2013, accounting for 30.3% of total consumption during the same period, the National Development and Reform Commission said. The import-dependence percentage rose from 28.9% in 2012. In 1H 2013, natural gas consumption was up 13.1% year on year to 81.5 billion cubic meters; domestic natural gas production was up 9% year on year to 58.8 billion cubic meters. Analysts say the strong growth was despite a non-peak season as the Chinese government pushed ahead stepping up the use of cleaner energy. Demand for natural gas is expected to rise faster in 2H 2013, and may possibly result in a shortage.
China's crude oil production grew 3.2% year on year to 103.31 million tons in 1H 2013, and refined oil consumption rose 4% year on year to 126.54 million tons, the National Development and Reform Commission said. In 1H 2013, gasoline consumption was up 12.2% year on year while diesel consumption was down 1.7% year on year. As of the end of June 2013, refined oil stockpile increased by 460,000 tons from a month earlier to 970,000 tons, remaining at a relatively high level.
China's refining margins in July are the best month year-to-date with official retail gasoline and diesel prices raised by more than 3% on July 20 and oil demand rising on seasonal factors in the summer, JPMorgan said, after meeting with Sinopec and PetroChina. The official price increases of 315 yuan/ton for diesel and 325 yuan/ton for gasoline widen JPMorgan's theoretical Chinese refining margin to $5-6/barrel, the highest in the year to date. According to Sinopec and PetroChina, the Chinese government is willing to give more refining margins gradually with the new pricing mechanism to close the gap between crude feedstock costs and refined product prices.

Jeep noob with a couple of pre delivery questions...
Hey gang, great community you have here. I just introduced myself over in the welcome section but I had a few Jeep noob questions that I was hoping the forum could help me with so here goes!
Does anyone know how difficult it is to change a color once the order has been submitted? I went with Mineral Grey with the OFAII package on my 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland last Monday when we put the order in but was thinking I might like the Blue more as I look at pictures of both. The interior will be saddle either way. I'd be happy with either as they're both very nice but was wondering if I even have a choice still at this point. What do you say and what do you think of both color combos? What would your choice be?
Has anyone had success getting the dealer to swap out the 18" polished wheels that come with the OFAII package for the stock painted 20's? They said they would set me up with everything at their cost if I wanted to buy them but couldn't just exchange them for me. I can understand where they are coming from as the 20's must be much more popular than the 18's but was wondering what others experiences were in this area.

Like much of the world, I'm waiting with no small degree of expectancy for Never Let Me Go, the forthcoming adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro's typically pristine novel. Taking place in the most polite of dystopias, it should at the very least provide us with the experience of watching a film invested with genuine care and invention – although the response to its recent premiere at the Telluride film festival suggests it may be capable of still greater things. Among a slew of rhapsodic notices, veteran blogger David Poland was perhaps the most fevered of all: "Never Let Me Go is why I love cinema," he declared. "[It is] a masterpiece, a film we'll be discussing frame by frame in schools 20 years from now."
At which point a small alarm bell goes off. All this talk of 20 years from now smacks just a little of undue haste. I'm sure our collective intrigue about director Mark Romanek's project will prove well-founded. But I think the very nature of the instant masterpiece – the movie so flawless it can be welcomed into the canon before the hot dog detritus has even been swept up – is more than a bit dubious.
Put it this way: there's a small number of films I'd unreservedly call masterpieces, and among the even smaller number I saw without the benefit of prior acclaim, I'm not sure they felt like it the second I left the cinema. What I have seen a lot of, though, is the expression of uncertainty on the faces of critics on wandering out of screening rooms, unsure in that moment what exactly it is they've just witnessed. A fully-fledged clunker is, of course, easy to call, but between the rush of gratitude at stumbling on something half decent and the professional urge to get busy with the hyperbole, few among us are immune from misjudging the line between greatness and the plain above-average.
That's why I think if you're ever tempted to mention the word masterpiece, the best advice is to head home, have a long nap and see how it all looks in the morning. Live with it a little. And that logic goes double when it comes to soothsaying about the likely tastes of cinephiles in 2030. If all films are best served by a bit of room in which to ruminate and reflect, reserving for a movie iconic status 20 years from now is a judgment call best left for – well, shall we say 20 years from now?
If movie history teaches us anything, it's that the films which are greeted as immediate classics in the here and now are often found wanting later on. Lord knows the Oscars have given us enough examples of movies whose reputations dwindled steeply over time (perhaps the most famous being the Citizen Kane-besting How Green is My Valley), while I can't help feeling the same way about the likes of American Beauty, Gladiator or The Truman Show, films that were hailed as blue-ribbon, significant moments when they first came out but which, as the years passed, proved to lie somewhere between a notch or two short of that judgment and epically overrated.
Just as relevant is the fact that the story of cinema is filled also with bona fide masterworks that on release were written off and ridiculed. Buster Keaton's The General was panned, Vertigo slated, and the initial reviews for Peeping Tom all but killed the career of its director Michael Powell, who only saw it reclaimed as the large dose of brilliance it is after the best part of, yes, 20 years. So I can understand getting over-excited about new films as a way of trying to drag our current era in movies level with the glories of the past, but the truth is we may need to be looking to the turkeys for a glimpse of what the future deems important. And yes, I've also just seen Michael Bay's ears prick up ...

Heat can denature proteins' reducing their availability to your body. But Garden of Life's USDA Certified Organic plant proteins are different; always gently produced at low temperatures' without any added fillers or carriers (like maltodextrin which can come from GMO corn) preserving their complete amino acid integrity and whole-food' Certified Organic' Non-GMO goodness.
True Sustainability!
Garden of Life's commitment to sustainability begins with organic farming. Certified Organic plant protein from sprouted grains and legumes is truly good for our planet' unlike conventional farming practices that utilize 150+ synthetic pesticides leaching into our water supply and soil' promoting genetically modified seed crops and reducing our planet's biodiversity. In addition to Certified Organic farming practices' Garden of Life uses recyclable packaging' vegetable inks' sustainably farmed papers and 100% certified renewable wind energy credits to run their company's operations.

Fictional characters going to Shimer? Well, as readers of this blog know, that is one way to think about what Shimerians are like, in a somewhat ideal typical sense (a la Weber) or in one's imagination, with a bit less seriousness! We have looked at figures such as Harry Dresden as well as the authors who create wildly popular characters like George R. R. Martin or Neil Gaiman.
Now, we turn our attention to one of the creations of Shonda Rhimes, one of the women defining our culture through the lens of television. Grey's Anatomy? Scandal? How to Get way with Murder? Definitely, most definitely Shimerian Shonda Rhimes. (Plus she has a newish book out.)
Today, though, we are asking about Olivia Pope, gladiator. Is she Shimerian? According to the wonders of quick web based research, she is distantly inspired by a real life figure, Judy Smith, who while smart enough to be a Shimerian attended Boston University.
But what about Pope? As far as I can see, she went to Shimer and is a Shimerian.
(1) According to Wikipedia Pope " thinks fast and effectively" and is a figure who is "emotionally strong, professionally powerful, and personally complicated" (see here). She has been described as intellectualy strong, though too many emphasize her intuition, and I admit I find the comparison to Monk a bit gender biased, since Monk is himself . . . well. . . In any case, all this leads to the notion that Olivia Pope is definitely Shimerian, despite the source (which is referencing other sources, of course).
(2) Stories say that she graduated from Princeton in Political Science and then went on to Georgetown Law. (See this site.) Of course, Shimer has a direct connection to Princeton's department of political science through graduate and trustee Robert O. Keohane, and we can definitely see his influence on her in her understanding of International Relations. But we think she lists Princeton in order to continue the obfuscation about her background necessary for her in the world in which she "operates."
(3) Olivia Pope tries for a "white hat" in a world that is amazingly grey (at best) and filled with folks quite close to her whose hats are most definitely not white. As she does so, she also allows for the language of gladiators. Thus, she connects recent history to history that is long past, and steers between reality and utopia in ways that are quite Shimerian.
What do you think? Olivia: we know that you are really a Shimerian. Shonda: we know you are as well. We think Meredith might have been as well. Do you?

So that was odd...
So had to get the drivers window glass replaced today - shop did a great job, but they had to leave the door open and acc on for a longer period to get the motor, etc all working and synced... he said the car was 'beeping when he started it up'
Picked it up all was fine... didn't notice the engine light - pulled out and stopped for a minute took off to head to car wash and got two error codes:mad:
U0416 (multiple invalid data received)
P1C4E (multiple fault codes)
I was thinking "oh crap the eibach spring installed didn't go well" got those on yesterday... and it was running great.
Tried a 'quick 'restart' at a redlight - nothing
Drove 4 miles, stopped at gas station just to pop hood and nothing visible, let sit to the electronics 'shut down' started up... codes were gone... ran through car wash nothing.
Drove back to work all OK... a true :confused:
Maybe too much time in the Doctor's office...
Strange thing is this morning Uconnect was giving the 'phone is not working redscreen and my 911/assist button on the mirror red - then it randomly went away.
I'm starting to think the people who coded Uconnect moonlight for Apple and worked on iOS7

Learn how to buy and prepare this delicious superfood that keeps you healthy and young.
Overhead, the sky is a crystalline expanse of blue punctuated by drifting billows of clouds. Towering pines look down on a raging torrent of river that wildly sweeps and eddies. Knee-deep in that torrent stands the majestic brown bear, his paws grasping a twisting, gleaming prize—a plump, delicious king salmon.
This is the Copper River in Alaska, home to some of the most acclaimed salmon in the world—and rightly so. It turns out that that bear absolutely has the right idea, for a wild-caught salmon offers myriad benefits.
It All Starts with Omega-3s
Sure, salmon has an impressive array of nutrients, including a major dose of protein and generous helpings of niacin and vitamin B12, both of which contribute substantially to heart health. But it's the omega-3 essential fatty acids that make salmon one of the brightest of superstars in the food firmament. Note the designation "essential"—these are compounds that the body must have, but cannot manufacture for itself; it is therefore imperative that they be obtained in sufficient amounts from a food source. And salmon is the ultimate source—chock-full of omega-3s, readily available, and incredibly delicious.
Omega-3s can do all of the following and more: help maintain the integrity of the immune and circulatory systems; reduce the risk of unwanted inflammation; help lower blood pressure and prevent strokes and heart attacks; help prevent erratic heart rhythms; make blood less likely to clot inside arteries; improve the ratio of good cholesterol to bad cholesterol; protect against deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism; reduce the risk of macular degeneration and dry eye syndrome; and protect against a wide array of cancers—prostate, breast, colon, and pancreatic, to name just a few.
And that's only the beginning. You know that old saying about fish being brain food? Many studies are now indicating a direct correlation between substantial consumption of fish rich in omega-3s, particularly DHA, and better brain function in older people. Indeed, regular and generous helpings of salmon and other cold-water fatty fish may guard against cognitive decline and Alzheimer's as we age by preventing plaque formation in the brain—a baby boomer's dream come true.
Depressed? Grill a salmon steak. Studies have shown that because of their anti-inflammatory effects in the brain, omega-3s can protect against depression. Got a surly teenager in the house? Serve up a salmon burger for dinner. A study detailed in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition found a statistically significant relationship between consuming fish rich in omega-3 fats and lower hostility scores in young urban adults.
Wild Is the Only Way
Wild-caught salmon is the only way to go, for many reasons. Although farmed salmon is much cheaper and available everywhere year-round, it has been undeniably proven that farmed salmon is loaded with toxins, including flame retardants and dioxins that are classified as human carcinogens. In fact, farmed salmon has a higher toxic equivalency potential score than any other food. And in terms of damage to the environment and the wild salmon population, farmed salmon is devastating on many levels. Salmon farms themselves are lethal—lice from these coastal pens kill up to 95 percent of the juvenile wild salmon that migrate past them.
So insist on wild-caught salmon, for your own health and the health of our ocean ecosystems. At a restaurant, ask your server if the salmon on the menu is wild-caught, and don't order it if it's farmed; same thing at your local market—ask for wild-caught only.
When purchasing fresh salmon, as with all fish, smell is your best indicator—there shouldn't be any. A fresh, clean, slightly briny aroma is fine; any strong or "off" smell means it's not fresh enough. Develop a relationship with your butcher, and trust him or her to steer you to the best and freshest available. Keep it cold, and cook it up as soon as possible.
Serves 4
Here's a simple and perfect way to take advantage of the springtime arrival of Alaskan salmon. Serve with a wild rice pilaf and some steamed asparagus—good eating and good health!
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Cover baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Mix together pineapple, jicama, ½ Tbs. olive oil, parsley, lime juice, and jalapeño in glass bowl. Set aside.
- Place salmon fillets skin-side down on prepared baking sheet, drizzle fillets with remaining 1 Tbs. olive oil. Roast in oven 13 to 18 minutes, depending on thickness and desired degree of doneness.
- Remove fillets from pan by sliding spatula between flesh and skin. Place fillets on plates and top with Pineapple-Jalapeño Relish; garnish with lime wedges.

English: Knitsley is a hamlet in County Durham, in England. It is situated a short distance to the south of the town of Consett. Local attractions include a pub (some way outside of the village) and a small post box. A telephone box once existed at the end of Hownsgill drive but this was removed many years ago due to lack of use. A railway station existed until 1964 when cutbacks in the railway system damatically reduced rail services in Britain.

All you need for this game is a pack of cards. While you play the
game, think about strategies that will increase your chances of
A game for 2 or more players with a pack of cards. Practise your
skills of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to hit
the target score.
A magician took a suit of thirteen cards and held them in his hand
face down. Every card he revealed had the same value as the one he
had just finished spelling. How did this work?
This is a game for two, three or four players.
You will need a pack of cards with the Jacks, Queens and Kings removed. (Ace is a one)
Deal out two cards to each player.
You can add, subtract, multiply or divide the two numbers to make a whole number, or just put them together to make a 2-digit number.
You score one point for making an odd number, OR a number that can be divided by three.
The player who has the most points after five rounds wins the game.
Example: with these cards you could make the following numbers:
4 + 6 = 10
4 x 6 = 24
6 - 4 = 2
4 + 6 = 10
4 x 6 = 24
6 - 4 = 2
But only 24 would score a point because it can be divided by three.
Can you predict as soon as you get your cards if you will be able to make an odd number?
What's the quick way to tell if a number is divisible by 3?
How could you change the game to make it more challenging?

The 2013 Detroit Auto Show played host to the unveiling of Audi's latest RS-badged weapon of mass seduction. The RS 7 Sportback is the new top-spec version of the A7 line, kicking the S7 Sportback into a distant second place. The heart of the car is a 4.0 litre, twin-turbocharged V8 engine which has been tuned to provide 560-horsepower and 553 lb-ft (700Nm) of torque. With this, the RS 7 Sportback manages to shave a full second off the 0-62 mph (100km/h) time when compared to its S-badged brother, managing the sprint in just 3.9 seconds. The top speed is equally impressive, with the Dynamic Plus Package fitted, Audi will rip out the electronic bureaucrat which normally reigns in the car at 155 mph, and allow it to run all the way to 189 mph.
But its not just the mighty V8 up front that makes the RS 7 Sportback so quick off the mark. Part of the credit should go to the 8-speed tiptronic transmission with reduced shift times and three-mode settings; 'Sport', 'Manual' and 'Drive'. And of course it wouldn't be fair to ignore the quattro permanent all-wheel drive system with torque vectoring and a sports differential.
Amazingly, despite its searing performance, the Audi RS 7 Sportback is able to return 28.8 mpg according to the combined cycle test. It manages this through a combination of an engine stop-start system, and a cylinder deactivation system which shuts down cylinders 2,3,5 and 8 when the car is cruising at a steady speed. The switch between four and eight-cylinder operation takes just a few hundredths of a second, and the only real indication to the driver that it is taking place is a visual signal within the instrument cluster.
The quattro AWD system of the RS 7 Sportback is complimented by an adaptive air suspension system with RS-specific settings. The specially tuned set-up lowers the body by 20 millimetres, and incorporates damping with configurable settings. As an alternative, sports suspension plus with Dynamic Ride Control (DRC) will also be available. This system employs steel springs and three-way adjustable shock absorbers that are interconnected diagonally by means of oil lines and a central valve for improved body roll stability.
Both set-ups are controllable via the Audi drive select adaptive dynamics system, which enables the driver to choose between Comfort or Dynamic modes depending on their preference, or an Automatic mode in which sensors automatically adjust the settings based on driving style, speed and prevailing conditions. An Individual mode is also available in which the driver can assign one of these three settings to each individual component of the driving experience, from the suspension or steering weighting to the throttle response and the sport differential.
For braking the Audi RS 7 Sportback employs four internally vented discs with a weight-saving wave-like outer contour. The front discs measure 390 millimetres in diameter and are gripped by six-piston calipers which are available in either black or red. Also available as an option are carbon fibre-ceramic brake discs with anthracite grey calipers which measure 420 millimetres in diameter.
The RS 7 Sportback is available in a choice of ten exterior colors, including the new shade Nardo gray and the exclusive finish Daytona gray, matt effect. Two styling packages – matt aluminum and carbon – further customize the appearance. With these, the front center air inlet also sports a quattro badge. With the carbon styling package, the front splitter and the diffuser are somewhat more boldly shaped. Other options include the exterior mirrors with exposed carbon housings and the all-LED headlights, whose designer trims are tinted for a unique look.
On the inside the car features suitably sporty design touches. The dial instruments have black faces, white scales and red needles. A 3D RS 7 logo in the tachometer is a further accent. The key, the flat-bottomed, three-spoke leather steering wheel, the illuminated door entry sills and the displays for the MMI and driver information system also sport RS badges. The driver information system includes a shift light, which indicates when the rev limit is reached. Displays for boost pressure and oil temperature plus a lap timer round out the RS 7-specific menu.
RS sport seats with pronounced side bolsters, integrated head restraints and RS 7 logos are standard. They are covered in a combination of black Alcantara and leather, and the center sections feature diamond quilting. The seats can also be covered alternatively in high-grade, honeycomb-quilted Valcona leather in either black or lunar silver.
The Audi RS 7 Sportback comes with a long list of standard equipment, including xenon plus headlights, a tire pressure monitoring system, the parking system plus, three-zone automatic air conditioning, cruise control and the Audi sound system. High-end options include a head-up display, a comfort package, the dynamic package and the dynamic package plus.

Warren Gerds/Critic at Large: Review: Lawrence's 'Street Scene' a vivid, must-see production
Make that "seas of singers."
This is HUGE undertaking.
Now, to the grist, the story: Elmer Rice explores the humanity in a
While many hands are part of this project, conductor Octavio Mas-Arocas is at the wheel in front of all as he firmly directs the orchestra (giving kudos at times) and clearly cues the singers.
In the lobby, tucked around the corner to the left of the theater entrances, is a display of set and costuming elements. The display gives an idea of the detail that is part of this production.
"Street Scene" reveals the artistic depth and scope of the triumvirate of Kurt Weill, Elmer Rice and Langston Hughes – together weaving story, music/song and dance into a concentrated entity that's both heavy and light. There's murderous mayhem on one hand and movement mayhem on another, with the latter coming in "Moon Faced, Starry Eyed" as two lovers erupt into a wild jitterbug that the creators seem to have tossed in for the heck it for flashy action.
Performances (5 stars out of 5, for sheer effort) continue through Sunday, March 9.
