In truth there are no winners from the Peter Odemwingie debacle.
The striker continues to fend off the criticism and japes in the wake of that misguided drive to London from West Brom.
QPR have missed out on a player that quite clearly would have helped their fight against relegation.
And the Baggies still have an angry, disaffected player still in their dressing room
Odemwingie maintains - as he has done throughout - that he left the club's training ground with the permission of Technical Director Dan Ashworth .
I spoke to the striker in the early hours of Friday morning as he drove back home from Loftus Road and he remained adamant that he had done nothing wrong. That Ashworth had allowed him to leave and was overruled by Baggies chairman Jeremy Peace.
He wasn't brooding or upset. He was very matter of fact about the whole situation and quite open about his insistence that he would still leave in the summer.
What has been fascinating since Thursday night is the hypocrisy of sport in this whole affair.
Players and managers, well versed with the dark arts of transfers and agent advice, are coming over all saintly all of a sudden. Particularly since their own agents are not not averse to defying their clubs when the situation suits them.
There are players up and down the land that have set out for rivals clubs to talk turkey without personal terms being agreed.
Players at northern clubs that have rocked up at southern clubs miraculously on deadline day to seal moves with their respective chairmen having agreed a deal with a couple of hours to spare.
Odemwingie's big mistake was rocking up at Loftus Road instead holing up at a hotel like most other players do with their agents to complete their clandestine business.
One particular player, who moved this month, had been speaking to the club he joined for weeks before signing up. The club he quit could say nothing because they had pinched him in the same way.
Tales of players being shown around big clubs by top line managers without talks even being held with their club - let alone fees being agreed - are ten a penny within football.
For legal reasons I have to word all this carefully, but it is inconceivable that Odemwingie would have taken to the M1 had he not been assured a resolution was in sight by at least one of the other two parties.
Odemwingie has found himself the butt of jokes from paragons of virtue such as, er, Kevin Pietersen. Yes, that same Kevin Pietersen who slaughtered his England team-mates to a rival side via text message.
The truth is, however wrong the Nigeria forward might be, a lot of his detractors throwing stones reside very much in glass houses.

New poll shows majority oppose mining bill
A new poll commissioned by an environmental group shows strong opposition to iron mining legislation aimed at wooing a mine in northern Wisconsin.
The poll by Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling shows that 62% of those taking the survey opposed the legislation; 29% support it.
The Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters commissioned the poll.
"We wanted legislators to see that there is strong opposition to the bill," said Anne Sayers, a spokeswoman for the conservation group.
The league posted the results of the poll on its website. The group says the poll of 911 Wisconsin voters took place on Feb. 18-19. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.3 percentage points.
Earlier this year, a small business group found strong support for a mining among its members.

The lead singer for Midnight Youth had a busy week filming the band's latest video.
Front man Jeremy Redmore travelled to London, the US and Hong Kong to shoot World Comes Calling, the second single from the band's new album of the same name.
It's a more melodic and radio-friendly return for the band after the punk-influenced first single Who Said You're Free.
Check out Midnight Youth's World Comes Calling:
Let's face it, keeping up with Kate Moss can't be easy.
But brilliant boy-girl duo The Kills have found time in their busy schedules to release a new video for the slow-burning atmospheric churn of Baby Says.
The twisted clip features the band, Alison Mosshart and Jamie Hince - who is married to Moss - performing to a crowd of cross-dressers in a dimly-lit underground club.
It's one of those videos where the music and the video fit seem to fit together perfectly.
Baby Says is taken from The Kills' recent album Blood Pressures.
Check out the clip for Baby Says:
Local and international artsts combined their talents for a fundraising track for the Haitian charity, the Kenbe La Foundation.
Kenbe La - the Haitian phrase for "never give up" - is also the title and theme of the track written in response to work being done to rebuild earthquake ravaged Haiti.
The Kenbe La (Never Give Up) single is a collaboration of musicians: Minuit's Paul Dodge wrote the music, Nelson-based MC Luke Epapara (aka The Kurnel MC) wrote and performed the verses, while Lisa Tomlins (Fly My Pretties/Fat Freddy's Drop) sang the hook and harmonies.
The track was then mixed by Minuit's Ryan Beehre.

Recently my husband asked me if i could change a part of our house which would I choose. Not knowing how serious he was, Isaid expand our bedroom to be a REAL Master bedroom (we live in an older historic home built in 1928. The bedrooms were not that big inthose days at... I guess everyone was tiny back then. ) So, then he has a contractor come over! I was like wow! HE WAS SERIOUS...He said Baby I love you and you desrerve a nice room so you can kick back ok so , now I am torn because if we are really going to pay for that kind of work, I would also or rather get new appliances and a new floor for our kitchen. However our bedroom is a place where we can retreat. I NEED and WANT a dishwasher too! UGH decisions decisions...what would you do...
The bedroom is obviously less expensive, but another idea for the kitchen appliances might be a rental warehouse. Rental places are only allowed to rent them out so many times before selling them outright. I would ask around those places before going brand new.

All Blacks captain Richie McCaw says he has no problem with the way the convoluted breakdown laws are currently being blown in the Tri-Nations.
The 29-year-old loose forward has been a lethal weapon in the rucks, managing to twist himself into all sorts of positions as he has driven the opposition to distraction by stealing or slowing down their ball.
McCaw's ubiquitous presence at the breakdown has caused his opponents to call for stricter policing of the All Black number seven, claiming that he is often guilty of sealing off the ball, slowing down their possession and disrupting the flow of their game.
But McCaw says these criticisms of his play do not wash.
"I think since the start of the Super 14 we have gone back to having a good contest at the breakdown. The change of habit, getting the tackler out of the way, has been a good thing. But if the ball-carrier is isolated and I arrive on my feet then I should get the benefit. The same applies for the team with ball in hand if their support does arrive.
"If players do the right thing at the breakdowns then teams can play. The big thing is to adapt to what is being blown because no referee is identical," McCaw said.
When asked about statistics carried by the New Zealand Herald this week which showed the All Blacks averaged 43 penalties before conceding a yellow card, compared to the six of South Africa and seven of Australia, McCaw said those figures did not reveal all the facts.
"My point of view is that there has been no disparity in the refereeing. People put stats out and then come to a conclusion, but the statistics don't give the full picture.
"If we feel we are close to a yellow card, then we back off and we don't give away a penalty in that facet again. If you're on the borderline, then you back off, if you're warned about something then you adapt. That's what I make sure I do personally and the team does too.
"I would be very frustrated if we did not learn from how the referee is blowing, you'd be an idiot not to change if you've been warned," McCaw said.
The Cantabrian said the team that managed to dominate up front would go a long way to winning the Tri-Nations Test between the All Blacks and Springboks on Saturday.
"The physical battle is crucial. The team that is up for it, that wins that battle, will go a long way to imposing their game on the opposition. For us loose forwards, a lot depends on how our team-mates up front have done. Obviously they've been good so far," McCaw said.
While the All Blacks machine has been in such compelling form this year that they need just one point from their last two Tri-Nations matches to win the title, McCaw said he was still looking for improvement.
"I'd be pretty disappointed if we won the Tri-Nations by just getting one point over the next two games. I want us to play better, which means beating the Springboks this weekend, because we could not win here last year."
While McCaw's year has just been getting better, counterpart John Smit's season has gone from bad to worse and he will go into his 100th Test on Saturday struggling to justify his place in the team. His rival over the last nine years has no doubts about Smit's standing, however.
"To play a hundred games in the front row is a helluva effort, it's pretty phenomenal. I see the way he leads his team, he inspires them and he has a big influence on what happens on the field. I have a lot of respect for the way he operates, and I plan to get there (100 Tests) too," the 87-cap McCaw said.

Extraordinary Activity of Nanodispersed Bimetallic NiFe Phosphide Catalysts for the Conversion of a Biomass Model Compound
|S.T. Oyama, A. Cho, J. Shin, A. Takagaki, R. Kikuchi
|The University of Tokyo, JP
|444 - 447
|biomass conversion, catalysis, nickel phosphide, hydrodeoxygenation
|The present work deals with the development of new catalysts, transition metal phosphides, which have outstanding activity for hydrodeoxygenation of pyrolysis oil. The study is significant as it leads to the production of high-energy content liquid fuels. Pyrolysis of biomass is a thermal conversion process that produces liquid fuels and chemicals, and is a promising technology to compete with and eventually replace non-renewable fossil fuels. Pyrolysis liquids are formed quickly and at relatively low temperatures, but contain significant oxygen (~40 wt.%) which causes low heating value (about half that of petroleum liquids), high acid content (leading to corrosion problems), and low stability (resulting in increasing viscosity with storage). The model substrate 2-methyltetrahydrofuran is studied by kinetic and spectroscopic methods to uncover the important steps involved in the reaction. On the most active catalyst, Ni2P, the studies indicate that the rate-determining step involves a single Ni atom. In situ infrared measurements are used to identify adsorbed reactive intermediates during reaction and give support for the reaction mechanism. The studies are important because they allow understanding of reactivity at a nanoscale level and lead to the design of more active catalysts.

Take the spring break gore and action of Piranha 3DD from the big screen to the small screen of your Android or iOS device and let the feeding frenzy begin.
It's another thin week, but given that one of the best fighting games in a long ass time is back, and even better, does it matter?
This week is all about sequels with the return of The Witcher, one of the most difficult motocross games around, and some underworld anime action that's now Vita friendly.
It may be a light week with only two titles, but they're certainly worth your attention. After years in development, one of the most anticipated indie games is finally out, and there's also something available for you 3DS fans out there.
Three games, each very different, but each long sought after see their release and offer up some interesting choices for your new games fix this week.
Fans of both Street Fighter and Tekken were initially hyped about the meeting of the two forces in Street Fighter X Tekken, but sadly Capcom has brought nothing new to the party.
Time to dust off that 3DS for a Nintendo flashback. And if you've ever wondered what it would be like to kill that punk Leon S. Kennedy, now's your chance. Plus, some ninja action to round out this week's new releases.
It might be a light week, but with the conclusion of a space odyssey and two very different groups of classic fighters going toe-to-toe, it definitely packs a punch.
We've got a fresh crop of new games for you this week. Everything from winter action sports and demon hiring, to a little robot hunting just to keep things interesting.
Everyone's got questions about Sony's latest foray into the world of portable gaming : how is the hardware? Can it compete with the 3DS and the iPhone? In the end it all boils down to, "should I buy it?" And that's what we're here to answer.
Zombies on a boat? Fat dudes running around calling themselves Batman? And an arcade classic finally comes home after 20 years? Yes, on all three counts.
There may not be any notable releases this week, but that's more the reason to revisit some gems from last year that you might have missed. Trust us, these deserve a second look.
Once again all the gaming news that's fit to repost! Including CES highlight, a reason to go Taco Bell, and a party on the way for Street Fighter and Mega Man X fans.

• UAB averages 48.4 rebounds per game -- the top mark in NCAA Division I men's basketball.
• UAB has the top perimeter defense in C-USA, holding opponents to just 56-of-219 (25.6 percent) from behind the arc.
UAB Notes
UAB Leads Nation In Rebounding
» According to ESPN.com's statistical rankings, UAB is the No. 1 rebounding team in the nation, averaging 48.4 boards per game. The Blazers have recorded over 50 rebounds four times this season (54 vs. Rutgers, 53 vs. Troy, 62 vs. New Mexico and 52 vs. North Carolina). The 62 against New Mexico represents the fifth time in school history that UAB has had 60-plus rebounds. The school record is 69, which came against South Alabama on Dec. 20, 1994.
» The Blazers have doubled up two opponents this season on the boards. UAB doubled Rutgers' rebound total of 27 as the Blazers had just as many offensive boards (22) as the Scarlet Knights had defensively. Against Troy, UAB outrebounded the Trojans, 53-24, including a 39-16 advantage on the defensive glass.
Blazers Riding Four-Game Winning Streak
» UAB is currently on a four-game winning streak dating back to Nov. 27. It is the Blazers' longest winning streak since winning four-straight from Feb. 16-March 2 last season.

Frazier is averaging 19.2 points per game, which is just behind the 19.5 from Southeast Missouri's Jarekious Bradley for most in the nation.
Washington, Frazier Making Early Impact
» Blazer point guard Chad Frazier and junior forward C.J. Washington have led UAB in scoring in each of the first 10 games this season. On average, the two combine for 33 of UAB's 78.9 points per game, which is 43 percent of the Blazers' per game scoring average.
Rideau Scores As A Blazer
» UAB junior Thaddeus Rideau sank a 3-point field goal in the second half against Georgia Southern on Sunday, the first points of his Blazer career. Rideau finished the night with eight points.
Williams In New Role
» UAB redshirt senior guard Rob Williams, who started 31 games last season, has come off the bench to score in double figures in six of UAB's 10 games this season. The energetic guard who has now played in 102 consecutive games in his career, also averages 6.3 rebounds per game.
Bartow Friendly To The Blazers
» UAB is currently 6-0 at home on the year. The Blazers play a school-record 17 games inside Bartow Arena this season. Under head coach Jerod Haase, the Blazers are 17-4 at home dating back to last season.

Microsoft's Suite Spot
When 200,000 geeks roll into Las Vegas on Nov. 18 for the Comdex computer show, the first thing they'll see is a 25-by-18-foot mock-up of the Microsoft Office 97 box. In the convention hall, they'll get Office 97 bags. Later that day, Microsoft Corp. will bus 1,000 customers and press to an Office 97 bash at the Monte Carlo casino. That night, Microsoft will co-host a press party for 250 at the MGM Grand.
All that for a product you can't buy until January. Then again, this is Microsoft's Big Kahuna. Office--a suite of applications including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint--is already used by 25 million customers and outsells all competitors by nearly 6 to 1. And it supplies most of the revenue for the Desktop Applications Div., which accounts for nearly half of Microsoft's $8.67 billion in revenues. "Office 97 is a very big deal," says Microsoft Chairman William H. Gates III, who ranks its importance with that of Windows 95. "That's the only thing that's comparable to what we're doing with Office."
EINSTEIN AIDE. Like Windows, Office is being redone for the Internet. Gates sees Office 97 as key to corporate intranets, allowing workers to share information by creating their own World Wide Web pages. "We're making the Internet scenario real," says Gates. "It's not just people reading Web pages but people creating documents." Office 97 users, Microsoft promises, will be able to create and view Web pages as easily as writing or retrieving a Word file. Also, Office automatically creates hyperlinks to any Web page--from a Word document, an image, or a spreadsheet. A "Web Page Wizard" walks novices through the process.
Office 97 also features Outlook, a personal information manager with E-mail, a calendar, and a group scheduler. Also new: "assistants," which are animated characters (a choice of nine, including Einstein and a perky paper clip) that offer tips. Early users give the whole shebang a thumbs-up. "It's just blowing people away," says Matthew Ghourdjian, director of technology at Hennigan, Mercer & Bennett in Los Angeles. He likes the test version so well he has installed it on 200 PCs at the law firm.
How big will Office 97 be? Market researcher Workgroup Strategic Services Inc. predicts sales of 19.9 million copies next year, boosting Microsoft's market share to 88% from 85%. Half the sales will be $200 upgrades. The rest will be new users, including those who get the program "bundled" on their PCs and those who buy it in stores, where the suggested retail price is $450.
Still, analysts worry about the road ahead. In the era of the Internet, buyers may opt for "network computers," bare-bones PCs that use "applets" stored on network servers. If they catch on big, they could turn Office, which hogs 120 megabytes of disk space, into a dinosaur. "The next two to three years still belong to Microsoft," says analyst Eric Brown of Forrester Research Inc. "But the next turn of the wheel could be different."
Corel Corp., the scrappy Ottawa-based software maker, is trying to spin the wheel now. It has rewritten Corel Office in Sun Microsystems Inc.'s Java language for the Net computers. And with Corel Office Professional for Windows NT, it's aiming at Microsoft's corporate customers. Corel's discounted pricing, $1,500 to $2,000 for a server version that can be shared with perhaps hundreds of PCs, may not snare Microsoft's big corporate accounts. But Corel could grab share among smaller enterprises. Anybody who expects Office 97 to stop Corel's recent gains, says Eid E. Eid, a Corel vice-president, "should not hold their breath."
Lotus Development Corp. says Office 97 is playing catch-up with its SmartSuite, which was "Web-ized" last year. Lotus is timing a major upgrade, SmartSuite 97, to coincide with Office 97. And like Corel, it's creating a suite of office applets for Net computers.
NOTHING NEW? Microsoft's response? Corel's Java suite "doesn't address anything new," says Robert J. Bach, a Microsoft vice-president. Microsoft, he says, has started its own applet effort--although he won't say when the applets will appear.
There may be no need to rush: "I have a hard time believing everyone will dump [Office] for something new, just because it's Java," says Keith Perry, a manager at Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corp. Columbia plans to buy at least 1,000 copies of Office 97. A few more sales like that, and Microsoft will have paid for its Comdex hullabaloo.

Lindsay Lohan Is Whimsically Fragile
Lindsay Lohan took a week off of rehab back in November to partake in fashion photographer Adam Secore's shoot. Secore is putting on show entitled "Fight and Fable" at the Kana Manglapus Gallery in Venice, CA through February 15th.
Secore told E! News, "Shooting Lindsay was inspirational for me as an artist, she's so beautiful. I consider her a muse and a friend. This image evokes whimsy fragility and at the same time depth of character and strength. Both haunting and inspiring at the same time."
PHOTOS: Check out Lohan's whimsically puffy lips
So, what do you see when you flip through the gallery? Are you moved? Does Lohan haunt you? Don't you wish she would just shape up?

When two naive Mormon missionaries, Elder Talbot (Weiss) and Elder Johnson (Winer), run into a restroom at a remote rest stop, Justin steals their car. Scrapping their military fatigues for the conservative missionaries' tags in hopes of passing through any road blocks, their guise is so good that the police insist upon escorting the escapees directly to New Harmony, the town that's been anxiously awaiting their Mormon missionaries. As the two renegades find themselves embraced by the town's hospitality, they try to map out their escape. With Elder Talbot and Elder Johnson destined to arrive, what will happen when the town of New Harmony discovers that their missionaries are actually on the lam from the law?

Taking us back to where it all began, Straight Outta Compton tells the true story of how these cultural rebels—armed only with their lyrics, swagger, bravado and raw talent—stood up to the authorities that meant to keep them down and formed the world's most dangerous group, N.W.A. And as they spoke the truth that no one had before and exposed life in the hood, their voice ignited a social revolution that is still reverberating today.

Family Matters
Family Matters is an American sitcom about a middle-class African American family living in Chicago. The series was spun off from Perfect Strangers and revolves around the Winslow family. Midway through the first season, the show introduced the Winslows' nerdy neighbor Steve Urkel (played by Jaleel White), who quickly became its breakout character and eventually a main character.
Moesha, the second show created by Ralph R. Farquhar along with the writing team of Sara V. Finney and Vida Spears (Family Matters), premiered on UPN in the winter of 1996 as a vehicle for Grammy-Award winner/teen idol Brandy and Sheryl Lee Ralph's return to primetime television. After Farquhar's first critically-acclaimed show, South Central, was abruptly cancelled in 1994, Moesha was his second attempt at creating an urban comedy sitcom. Set in the Leimert Park section of Los Angeles, Moesha follows the life of a happy-go-lucky family through the eyes of a typical teenage girl. Her father, Frank, a Saturn car salesman, has remarried Dee, a teacher at her school, much to Moesha's dismay. As Dee makes real headway becoming a mother to Moesha's little brother, Myles, Moesha's fond memories of her real mother have inhibited her from opening up completely to Dee. But Moesha later realizes that Dee can be a good friend and ally. When not at home or school, Moesha hangs out with her best fr

"Waynehead, Waynehead, The party's jut begun. Waynehead, Waynehead, The 411 for fun¦" Inspired by the childhood of film/TV actor Damon Wayans, Waynehead proved that physical and financial challenges were no match for a healthy imagination and a smooth attitude. Damey Wayne was the star's 10-year-old alter ego, complete with a few autobiographical touches: Both Damon and Damey were born with a "club" foot, which slowed down their bodies but had no effect on their highly creative minds. The "Waynehead" nickname was another true-life note, given to Damey and his brothers because of their home-sheared hairdos. In the cartoon, Damey and family lived in lower Manhattan, where the boy went through the usual ups and downs of childhood. The lack of money in the Wayne household made for a few extra chal

BRENTWOOD, N.H. — Two of the four officers wounded in a shooting that killed a New Hampshire police chief last year have asked the state to hand over the bullets that struck them.
Their attorney made the request to provide the officers with evidence related to the April 2012 Greenland shooting that killed Police Chief Michael Maloney. The officers are suing Beverly Mutrie, the mother of Cullen Mutrie, saying she provided him with the gun. She's asked that the case be dismissed.
Foster's Daily Democrat reports the state Attorney General's Office plans to honor the officers' request now that it has ended its investigation. A judge recently approved the request from the state to return "numerous" items seized from the officers.
Cullen Mutrie then killed a woman before killing himself in April.

At 22, Will Sim is one of the most experienced young British alpinist. Raised in St Bees, but based in Chamonix, he has racked up an impressive list of ascents in a light and fast alpine style. With a particular interest in big North Faces he has climbed over 20 Grandes Courses, including quick ascents of test pieces such as No Siesta on the Grandes Jorasses.
As a St Beghan, Will started by tackling his first climbs locally. Alongside more recent major challenges, he cites one of his favourite experiences as evenings climbing on St.Bees head with a couple of good friends.
Will has a really exciting challenge coming up – he is travelling to Pakistan to attempt to climb the previously unconquered face in the Charakusa Valley.
He will be giving a talk at Saints Rooms Cockermouth on Wednesday February 15 at 7pm
It will be aimed at climbers and non-climbers, with some highlights of British rock and ice, The Alps, Patagonia and Alaska, where he has demonstrated a rare ability to climb hard and fast at high altitude.
The talk is to help raise funds for Lorton School After School Club. This is an important facility for local parents and children. Although the ASC is active in creating diverse activities for the children and in fundraising (they have been awarded grants to form a gardening club from which they sell their own produce), they do need support to keep this small village resource running. Lorton School has a wide geographical intake from local hamlets and surrounds, and it has taken the initiative to run a subsidised bus service to and from Cockermouth at £1 per day to help facilitate attendance at the School

Gifts of Stock
Gifts of Stock
Donate stock to Farm Sanctuary and make the most of your contribution to ending farm animal abuse. Many donors find it convenient to use stock as a way of gifting their favorite charitable organization, and there are tax savings benefits, as well.
If you have owned a corporate or mutual fund stock for at least 12 months, and it's appreciated in value, you can donate the stock to Farm Sanctuary, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, and deduct its full market value without paying any tax on the long-term capital gain. This benefits both you and Farm Sanctuary! You get an additional tax deduction, and Farm Sanctuary receives a larger gift than if you had sold the stock, paid tax on the gain, and given the remainder to Farm Sanctuary.
For example:
You purchased 200 shares of Stock A at $5/share in 2001.
If you donate 100 shares of Stock A, now worth $10/share, to Farm Sanctuary in 2003, you pay no capital gains taxes and you receive a $1,000 tax deduction.
Even if your stocks have depreciated in value, donating them to Farm Sanctuary can turn your loss into a win. Simply sell your stock at a loss, make an equal donation to Farm Sanctuary, then claim a charitable deduction for the gift and deduct the stock's decrease in value from your income.
If you transfer stock before December 31, you can claim the tax deduction on your tax return! You should always check with your own tax advisor before making a gift of stock or securities.
For additional information, contact Farm Sanctuary at 607-342-1607 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thank you!

Re: Characters We Would Like to See Included
We need a character to represent the Tekken franchise on the list. The first characters requested in this thread has been Yoshimitsu and Paul. These two characters could make nice additions, but at the same time, I'm thinking there are better characters to go for.
I haven't made any changes due to this being a list we make together, but personally, I think Jin Kazama should be the one representing his franchise. He is one of the main characters of the series and he has this whole Devil Jin-thing going on which could make a cool addition. You could have him turn into his devil self in his level 3 super, or, what had been even cooler, have him be the Zero Suit character of this game, forcing him to shift between Jin and Devil Jin making him two playable characters in one. As the Devil he could be one of the strongest characters in the game, while as Jin, one of the weaker. It could make a different type of character to play that would need practice to master. Also, in his single player story, you could bring in Heihachi, Kazuya and other Tekken characters (not as playables), considering all the backstory they share.
Jin first made his appearance in Tekken 3, while both Yoshimitsu and Paul has appeared in every single game, but at the same time Jin has a bigger role in the story, and has more or less become a main character of the franchise. Paul has his iconic haircut, but only has his fists to rely on. Yoshimitsu has swords, but in my opinion he's a boring character. I am not everyone though, so I may be the odd one out thinking he is.
What do you think?

"When I was 15, I could not believe how dumb my father was.....when I was 25, I could not believe how much he had learned in 10 years"
1st to use the phrase "In Reese we trust"
I agree with the Tyree catch, the magnitude of the game and the kind of catch separates it from all the other great plays.
Another play that should get some consideration is Erik Howard striping Roger Craig of the ball and LT recovering it in the air in the NFC Championship game. If that play doesn't happen, the 49ers are going to the Super Bowl.
David Tyree has to be the greatest though..
Mood: WOOF!
Tyree's catch, easily.
Giants General Manager George Young recalls, "On his first day back, he wrote on our locker room chalkboard, 'The grass is greener, my butt. P. McConkey.' "
On a side note, Joe Buck should have been forced to retire after the game because that was the most pathetic play calling I have ever heard. It sounded like he was a Patriots fan and the play took the wind out of his sail. He was so exited at the prospect of Eli getting sacked that when he avoided it, his exitment fell off a cliff and was completely monotone.
I would say, though, as has been pointed out in this thread already, the precise situation and magnitude of the moment dictates to me that the Tyree catch has to be considered the "best" play in Giants history, and arguably the best play in NFL history because of the situation (a claim made by the late, great Steve Sobol by the way--and he, more than most, has seen a lot of great NFL plays).
At the same time, I still have a special place in my heart for the Bavaro catch vs Niners, and the 4th and 17 vs Vikes you alluded to. That play, above all plays that year, allowed me to actually believe we had a real chance to win it all that year. And, after so many years of discouraging ineptitude, and after the humiliating heartbreak of the post season game in 85, that was a huge leap of faith to me.
Super Bowl XXV - we were down 12-10 in the 3rd quarter. At one point it was 3rd and 13, Hostetler passes to Ingram about 7 yards short, but Ingram shakes about 5 defenders to get the first down. We ate up about 9-10 minutes on that drive and scored a touchdown. It was the defining moment in that game that really turned it around and put the pressure on Buffalo. The Bills eventually got the lead back, but we were able to get another 3 points and you know the rest (WIDE RIGHT!!)
Also a shout out to the Roger Craig fumble. Also in 1991, NFC Championship game. The Niners had a slim lead in the 4th quarter. We knew they were going to eat clock with Craig, and they were almost in FG range. Well, he got swallowed up. Erik Howard pops the ball out while falling on his back and LT picks it up. We kick a FG and suddenly the Giants are in the Super Bowl.

First let wish you all a happy new year in 2005.
On my way to the range I stopped at a local gun shop to purchase some ammo for both the Python (2.5 inch barrel) and the Glock. While talking with the guy behind the counter, somehow we started talking about the Python which he said over the years he has own several. I purchased this gun in the either in the late 60\'s or early 70\'s and it has been fired hardly at all. Anyway, back to the story: The clerk advised me not to purchase .375 mag for this gun. He said the .357 mag Python, even though it is stamped in large letters on the barrel, was never really designed the handle the mag rounds that it is really just a .38. Went on to say, once several .357\'s are shot in the gun the cylinder timing will get out of alignment and present a serious hazard to the shooter. Also stated the power of the mag ammon will cause the gun parts to become loose over time and start to fall apart. Also, with a Python, that re-timing the cylinder is a ***** and expensive to fix.
Ok guys, I\'m having a hard time swallowing this guy\'s expert opinion. I think the .375 Python is a most respected gun that many have carried over the years. I would be more that happy :D to hear back from you guys with your 2 cents.

Feb 19, 2013 at 5:26 pm #1299476
After a lot of reading and thinking, I've reached the following info and conclusions:
An iPhone 4 or 5 takes about 8 Wh to fully charge from dead.
A pair of AA NiMH (Eneloop) takes about 5 Wh.
A pair of AA lithium primaries hold about 9 Wh.
A Powerfilm USB/AA charger is 1.5W and weighs 6.3oz (with two Eneloop AAs, rqd for USB).
Raw battery specs:
NiMH AA 27g 2.3Wh 0.08 Wh/g (eneloop)
LiPo 86g 18.1Wh 0.21 Wh/g (many choices)
Li prime 15g 4.5Wh 0.31 Wh/g (energizer)
I don't like charging directly from solar to phone 'cause I'm moving. I like to charge an interim battery throughout the day and download electrons at night. It usually takes a couple days to deplete my iPhone, and a few days to deplete my 2 AAs. There are good and bad solar days, so I need extra capacity.
So first, the battery should be at least 10Wh. Second, the solar should be at least 2.5W for 8 hours of charging at half capacity. This should give me twice the power I need for my devices.
This stuff all weighs too much as purchased (other threads dig this in detail), so I will be repackaging (like many others have done.) What inspires me to have at this anew is that the naked powerfilm cells are only 10g per watt. The nylon canvas backing that comes with the USB/AA unit weighs 1.9oz!
I add up a total about 3.4oz including 2.4W panel, 10Wh LiPoly, PCB, AA holder, and case.
Add a USB cable, 2 NiMH AAs, and 2 Lithium AAs for 6.4 oz total.Feb 20, 2013 at 10:00 am #1956404
I carry a Princeton Tec Byte:
13g strap
26g lamp body
15g 2xAAA Li
54g Total (1.9 oz) Mfg: 64g?
15g 2xAAA Li Spares (or more…)
69g with spares.
This got me to thinking about a rechargeable headlamp that has a mini-USB input.
Two Li-primary have 3.6Wh, enough to run the lamp in soft-white for 96h.
An equivalent Li-Poly is about 20g.
This headlamp would weigh < 60g with similar performance to the Byte.
Any interest?Feb 20, 2013 at 10:15 am #1956412Feb 20, 2013 at 10:44 am #1956427
Exactly! I missed the Tikka as well. I'm going to hack one out of a Byte and a cellphone battery.Feb 20, 2013 at 3:52 pm #1956577

@meldLocale: The here and now.
I just got the Bosavi last week, charged it and left it on on the high setting and it lasted somewhere short of 8hrs. Recharged it and left it on the next to high setting and it lasted for a little less than 12hrs. I didn't time it on the lowest setting. I don't remember how long it took to charge but it seemed to be within 3hrs. Used it this last weekend for a 3 nighter and liked the way it worked.Feb 21, 2013 at 7:47 am #1956806

I have been very happy with mine so far also,but of course it is still pretty new to me.Feb 21, 2013 at 9:00 am #1956847
I understand the bosavi can be programmed for different light intensities and will remember the last setting you used.
Would you describe this feature as:
awesome, useful, meh, annoying?
Is the super intense setting good to have?
Are the mid and red lamps the right strength?
My older Petzl has the feature that by turning the lens I could change the beam width. I find that more useful than the bright/dim settings on LED headlamps.
Thoughts?Feb 24, 2013 at 12:20 am #1957985

There are NO UL options for solar power at this time.
Unless you can spend 8-12 hrs at a spot in good sunshine to charge your device, it just isn't worth it.
For a headtorch, it is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy cheaper and lighter to take a spare pair of batteries.
I use solar extensively here is Australia. I charge my BD Storm batts ( 4 x AAA), my iphone, and Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. use 2 x 28 Watt Powerfilm ( Iowa Thin Film ) rollable panels. The biggest issue with solar is that all these really good thin films are not very efficent, plus do not create the required Amps. Volts are fine, but what we need is Amps.
You guys in the US have lots of local options, but IMHO go on Alibaba and get a 4lb 60Watt panel that will charge anything from AAA's thru to Ipad and other devices that rquire more than .5Amps from China.
monocrystalline is the most efficient of the äffordable"consumer options – it just weighs more.
I love solar – just wish we could get more than 20% efficiencyFeb 24, 2013 at 9:24 am #1958077

@b-g-2-2Locale: Silicon Valley
I agree completly with Matthew. Sure, it is possible to carry your solar system and recharge batteries as you walk along. However, weight-wise, it is better to simply carry extra batteries.
Solar recharging is very efficient if you need to go to one remote place (without commercial power) and stay there for a few weeks. The typical example is Mount Everest Base Camp. Everybody rolls out their solar rig next to their tent and it stays there. You can orient the rig once to maximize sun.
It is possible to arrange a solar rig to get higher volts or else higher current, but if you need both then you are talking about a lot of surface area, and that typically means a good deal of weight and support structure weight.

- Sir Thomas Leighton (c.1530–1610) was an English soldier and politician. He served as the Governor of Guernsey and Jersey from 1570 to 1609. Although the ancestral link still awaits confirmation,[1][2] there is evidence that Sir Thomas and his wife are common ancestors of the current Duke and Duchess of Cambridge; being 12th great-grandparents of William, and 11th great-grandparents of Catherine, which would make them 12th cousins, once removed.[3][4][5]
- Sir Thomas was knighted in 1579 during the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I. He was from Feckenham, Worcestershire, England, born to John Leighton of Wattlesborough and Joyce Sutton, daughter of Edward Sutton, 2nd Baron Dudley.[6]
- Leighton was unpopular as governor. He developed the defensive capabilities of Castle Cornet, but to do so he imposed heavy taxes on the islanders.[4] In 1588 he was sent as a diplomat to Henry III of France, and then served at the camp at Tilbury in the defensive moves against the Spanish Armada. For some years from 1595 he employed Thomas Cartwright as chaplain.[6]
- Leighton served as Member of Parliament for Worcestershire in 1601. He died in Guernsey.[6]
- Leighton married Elizabeth Knollys (cousin once removed of Elizabeth I) in 1578. They had two daughters, Elizabeth and Anne Leighton, and one son, the father's namesake Thomas Leighton (born 1584), who married Mary, daughter of Edward la Zouche, 11th Baron Zouche.[6]

Cruising Genoa to the Arabian Gulf - MSC Lirica
About this blog
It's been 12 months since Roisin and I vanished for 7 weeks. Seems like only yesterday Mr Bailey was comparing our time in Bora Bora to his wet weekend in Skegness!!! We have been asked recently when our next 'trip' will be. Well I can now reveal that the waiting in almost over. On 12th October Mrs H and I will be heading off for a trip with MSC around the Arabian Gulf. We start by flying to Nice then staying in Monaco for a night before travelling to Genoa where we pick up the ship, the MSC Lirica. Our ports of call are: Naples, Heraklion (Crete), traverse the Suez Canal, Aqaba (Jordan), Salalah and Muscat (Oman) then Dubai and finally Abu Dhabi. We expect a whole host of different experiences to share with you. None more than we don't expect many English speaking Nations on this one. If as I suspect, there will be a fair share of Germans on board, the jokes should practically write themselves!!! It is normal to have Muster traing before the ship sets sail. This is where you all pile down with you life jackets on to an arranged place and stand around looking like prats. You usually end up at a different muster station from where you supoosed to anyway (those of us who bother turning up Elaine!!!)...but noone seems to really care. Moreover, as we are sailing around the Gulf of Aden we need special training....what to do in case of a pirate attack!!! My suggestion is to say: 'oo arrr me hearties' and hop around a bit. you might get away with it. So there yopu have it. I hope you will experience this journey with us and don't forget, feel free to click on the comments box. Reading your comments make us feel that the world is not such a big place after all. To get you in the mood, I've pretty much finished the blog to a cruise we went on in 2009 around the Baltic. It was written retrospectively so I didn't circulate it (I don't think). It's sort of a 'bootleg blog'. Here's the link. I've had to write it all from memory so it's sort opf an Alan! Whicker meets forest Gump meets Rainman kind of affair!!! Please peruse at you leisure.... http://blog.travelpod.com/travel-blog/chris-roisin/2/tpod.html
If the above address hasn't appeared as a link, just copy and paste this in to your web browser. ...See you in Monaco or for those of you we work with...see you tomorrow!!!

Conservative Party cry-baby Colin Craig has achieved the seeming impossible. He has managed to unite a grand alliance of National, Labour and the Greens against him, mocking his move to sue Green co-leader Russel Norman for defamation.
Mr Craig is upset that Dr Norman told the Big Gay Out audience that he "thinks a woman's place is in the kitchen and a gay man's place is in the closet". The Conservative leader is demanding an apology and retraction "to an audience of similar size". Dr Norman has said no, and Labour deputy leader and former Attorney-General David Parker has leaped to his defence, offering to act for the Green leader.
Prime Minister John Key has also chipped in, saying "what a waste of time", and warning Mr Craig that if he ever made it into Parliament, he'd need a phalanx of lawyers to deal with the flak.
Mr Craig, having got the country's attention, then tried to prove he shares kitchen duties with his wife by claiming to cook about six times a week, including lunches.
Which rather begs the question of who does the honours for the other 15 meals.
He flashed his hairy chest, too, bragging he was "pretty famous" for his meat dishes rather than the more effete salads - which we all know are women's work.
Millionaire Mr Craig says this is the sixth defamation threat he has instructed his lawyers to send out since entering the political arena. This time last year, he targeted blog satirist Ben Uffindell, who had linked floods in Nelson and the central North Island with the passage of the gay marriage act. Mr Uffindell was forced to apologise.
If Mr Craig feels misunderstood and misrepresented by his critics, the solution lies not in the libel courts but in his own hands. He should sort out exactly what he and his party's core values are. He variously claims to be "mainstream", "liberal" and "conservative". Let's throw "wacky" in for good measure. Then, when he's called out on one of his more eccentric comments, he is tempted to laugh it off as a tease, or blame the media for a beat-up.
In early December, radio DJ Marcus Lush asked him if he believed man had landed on the moon. "I have no idea, mate. That's what we're told," said Mr Craig. "I'm sort of inclined to believe it, but at the end of the day I haven't looked into it, and I know there are very serious people that question these things."
A few days before, in the "Ask Colin" section of the Conservatives' website he'd floated another looney-tunes moment. "Our party has no formal position on chemtrails. I am aware of the theory that chemicals are being released at high altitude for some nefarious purpose but don't know whether there is any truth in this or not."
Mr Craig obviously sees this as mainstream. The rest of us would put it in "woop woop, pull-up" territory.
There are similar gems scattered through the "Ask Colin" files. One correspondent, for instance, asks him, "What are your views on David Icke's Reptilian Hypothesis?" Wikipedia tells me Mr Icke was a former BBC sports presenter who in 1991, declared himself a "son of the Godhead" and predicted the world would soon be devastated by tidal waves and earthquakes. While we waited, he claimed the world was controlled by a secret group of reptilian humanoids.
Most "mainstream" leaders would have tossed such a query straight into the rubbish bin, but not Mr Craig. He knew of the Icke conspiracy. "As I understand it, Icke's first premise is that there are very powerful persons/families who as a global elite try and manipulate world events to their own advantage. While I can't subscribe to the reptilian hypothesis, I think this first premise has validity."
Talk of woop woop, pull up.
On getting a strike wing back into the air force: "We think a New Zealand squadron as part of the Australian air force, rotated to New Zealand on a part-year basis, is the best starting point ..."
On gangs renting from Housing New Zealand: "The problem arises when there is criminal activity. You rightly point out that a lot of traffic to a home at night is often a sign of such activity."
Then there's the issue of global warming. Colin responds: "Climate change happens for many reasons. Geological events (volcanoes) and astological events (sun flares) to name but 2, have a large influence ..."
I'm not sure what he means by astological. He uses it in several answers. The only word that comes close is astrological, which is the non-scientific, mumbo-jumbo background to the signs of the zodiac. Yet it's hard to imagine a mainstream party relying on the tools of fortune tellers. Even one acquainted with the Icke conspiracy theories.
My feeling is that anyone who flirts with such ideas should grow a thicker skin. Indeed anyone who enters politics should do the same and follow the Prime Minister's advice. Mr Key says: "If I took legal action every time I thought somebody had wronged me, my lawyers would be busy, too."

Rumor has it (the rumor starts here) that after President Obama's summit with the Muslim Brotherhood last week they were given a few of the basketballs to bring back to enjoy in Egypt to relieve stress as they assume control of the government there.
There is also word that some of these balls have been airlifted to civilians being slaughtered in Syria so that they can gain strength from the image while the Obama administration issues useless rhetoric to the government there?
Balls were sent to Iran and North Korea as well to serve as a reminder of the seriousness with which they need to take warnings from the President?
Come to think of it a better idea might be that instead of images of the President on a basketball we have the reality of a leader who spends more time leading the United States in the right direction and less time enjoying the perks of the office and the freedom to campaign for a second-term!
Or maybe that's just too much to ask for!

This animation presents the characteristics of wind power as a source of clean energy. The force of moving air generates electricity, by rotating blades around a rotor. The motion of the rotor turns a driveshaft that drives an electric generator.
The CLEAN collection is hand-picked and rigorously reviewed for scientific accuracy and classroom effectiveness. Read what our review team had to say about this resource below or learn more about how CLEAN reviews teaching materials
Do an oral review of the parts of the wind generator with students after they view the animation.
Educator may want to turn sound off (which is loud and somewhat annoying) and narrate the video themselves.
This animation presents the characteristics of wind power as a source of clean energy.
Claims about the growth of wind power as an energy source since 1990 may or may not be accurate.
The pro-wind perspective in this video presents only the positives of the wind industry.
Comments from expert scientist: The "Background Essay" and "Discussion Questions" are particularly interesting and useful. The interactive section does a fine job of describing all the essential parts of commercial wind turbines.
A good background essay and discussion questions accompany the animation.
