|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
In a NESN interview on Tuesday, Red Sox GM Ben Cherington admitted, "At some point, we may need to be realistic and focus on helping the 2015 team." That time is now. It is time for all of us to be realistic. They aren't closing the gap. The Sox have struggled all year, and the nail in the coffin of the 2014 season has been the abysmal home stand that will likely become worse tonight when they face White Sox ace, Chris Sale.
Pierzynski won't be the last change the Red Sox make before the MLB trade deadline. With an aging and underperforming lineup the Sox might as well see what they can get by trading away veterans. However, the Red Sox already have several young players: Bogearts, Middlebrooks, Bradley Jr., Holt, and Betts. Someone like Pierzynski, who couldn't be traded for a washing machine, might as well make way so the Sox can get a look at how their existing prospects preform on the Big League level.
That is exactly why Pierzynski was the first casualty (well, second casualty if you consider Grady Sizemore), the Sox want a look at Christian Vazquez behind the plate. Plus, Vazquez will be able to glean some knowledge and pointers behind the plate from veteran catcher David Ross. Quite frankly, it couldn't be much worse than Pierzynski's .254 average and 4 jacks (oh wait, Stephen Drew is worse)–at least by taking a long look at Vazquez the front office can determine if he can be the catcher of the future, or if the Red Sox need to address that position moving forward.
Yes, the Sox will be looking to sell pieces to contenders as the trade deadline approaches. However, do we need more AAA prospects? Are Boston fans willing to wait several years before a young core turns into a World Series contender? I think not. While the organization likes the quality of the farm system and the existing young talent, it may not be crazy to trade some promising and unproven young talent for some proven young talent. I have always thought Giancarlo Stanton would look great in a Red Sox uniform…

Minastrin 24 Fe
Plan B One-Step Emergency Contraceptive Approved for 15 and Older »
"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today announced that it has approved an amended application submitted by Teva Women's Health, Inc. to market Plan B One-Step (active ingredient levonorgestrel) for use without a prescription by women 15 years"...
Read the Plan B One-Step Emergency Contraceptive Approved for 15 and Older article »
Minastrin 24 Fe
Thromboembolic Disorders and Other Vascular Problems
Stop Minastrin 24 Fe if an arterial or deep venous thrombotic event (VTE) occurs. Stop Minastrin 24 Fe if there is unexplained loss of vision, proptosis, diplopia, papilledema, or retinal vascular lesions. Evaluate for retinal vein thrombosis immediately.
If feasible, stop Minastrin 24 Fe at least 4 weeks before and through 2 weeks after major surgery or other surgeries known to have an elevated risk of VTE.
Start Minastrin 24 Fe no earlier than 4 weeks after delivery, in women who are not breastfeeding. The risk of postpartum VTE decreases after the third postpartum week, whereas the risk of ovulation increases after the third postpartum week.
The use of COCs increases the risk of VTE. However, pregnancy increases the risk of VTE as much or more than the use of COCs. The risk of VTE in women using COCs is 3 to 9 per 10,000 woman-years. The risk of VTE is highest during the first year of use of a COC. The risk of thromboembolic disease due to oral contraceptives gradually disappears after COC use is discontinued.
Use of COCs also increases the risk of arterial thromboses such as strokes and myocardial infarctions, especially in women with other risk factors for these events. COCs have been shown to increase both the relative and attributable risks of cerebrovascular events (thrombotic and hemorrhagic strokes), although, in general, the risk is greatest in older ( > 35 years of age), hypertensive women who also smoke. COCs also increase the risk for stroke in women with underlying risk factors.
Use COCs with caution in women with cardiovascular disease risk factors.
Liver Disease
Impaired Liver Function
Do not use Minastrin 24 Fe in women with acute viral hepatitis or severe (decompensated) cirrhosis of liver [see CONTRAINDICATIONS]. Acute or chronic disturbances of liver function may necessitate the discontinuation of COC use until markers of liver function return to normal and COC causation has been excluded. Discontinue Minastrin 24 Fe if jaundice develops.
Liver Tumors
Minastrin 24 Fe is contraindicated in women with benign and malignant liver tumors [see CONTRAINDICATIONS]. Hepatic adenomas are associated with COC use. An estimate of the attributable risk is 3.3 cases per 100,000 COC users. Rupture of hepatic adenomas may cause death through intra-abdominal hemorrhage.
Studies have shown an increased risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma in long-term ( > 8 years) COC users. However, the attributable risk of liver cancers in COC users is less than one case per million users.
High Blood Pressure
Minastrin 24 Fe is contraindicated in women with uncontrolled hypertension or hypertension with vascular disease [see CONTRAINDICATIONS]. For women with well-controlled hypertension, monitor blood pressure and stop Minastrin 24 Fe if blood pressure rises significantly.
An increase in blood pressure has been reported in women taking COCs, and this increase is more likely in older women with extended duration of use. The incidence of hypertension increases with increasing concentrations of progestin.
Gallbladder Disease
Studies suggest a small increased relative risk of developing gallbladderdisease among COC users. Use of COCs may also worsen existing gallbladder disease.
A past history of COC-related cholestasis predicts an increased risk with subsequent COC use. Women with a history of pregnancy-related cholestasis may be at an increased risk for COC-related cholestasis.
Carbohydrate and Lipid Metabolic Effects
Carefully monitor prediabetic and diabetic women who are taking Minastrin 24 Fe. COCs may decrease glucose tolerance in a dose-related fashion.
Consider alternative contraception for women with uncontrolled dyslipidemias. A small proportion of women will have adverse lipid changes while on COCs.
Women with hypertriglyceridemia, or a family history thereof, may be at an increased risk of pancreatitis when using COCs.
If a woman taking Minastrin 24 Fe develops new headaches that are recurrent, persistent, or severe, evaluate the cause and discontinue Minastrin 24 Fe if indicated.
Consider discontinuation of Minastrin 24 Fe in the case of increased frequency or severity of migraine during COC use (which may be prodromal of a cerebrovascular event) [see CONTRAINDICATIONS].
Bleeding Irregularities and Amenorrhea
Unscheduled Bleeding and Spotting
Unscheduled (breakthrough or intracyclic) bleeding and spotting sometimes occur in patients on COCs, especially during the first three months of use. If bleeding persists or occurs after previously regular cycles, check for causes such as pregnancy or malignancy. If pathology and pregnancy are excluded, bleeding irregularities may resolve over time or with a change to a different COC.
Based on patient diaries from a clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of a 24-day regimen of norethindrone acetate 1 mg/ethinyl estradiol 0.020 mg tablets, 24-35% of women experienced unscheduled bleeding per cycle. A total of 10 subjects out of 743 (1.3%) discontinued due to bleeding or spotting.
Amenorrhea and Oligomenorrhea
Women who are not pregnant and use Minastrin 24 Fe may experience amenorrhea. In the clinical trial with a 24-day regimen of norethindrone acetate 1 mg/ethinyl estradiol 0.020 mg tablets, 22 to 36% of the women using norethindrone acetate 1 mg/ethinyl estradiol 0.020 mg tablets experienced amenorrhea in at least one of 6 cycles of use. Some women may experience post-pill amenorrhea or oligomenorrhea, especially when such a condition was preexistent.
If scheduled (withdrawal) bleeding does not occur, consider the possibility of pregnancy. If the patient has not adhered to the prescribed dosing schedule (missed one or more active capsules or started taking them on a day later than she should have), consider the possibility of pregnancy at the time of the first missed period and take appropriate diagnostic measures. If the patient has adhered to the prescribed regimen and misses two consecutive periods, rule out pregnancy.
COC Use before or during Early Pregnancy
Extensive epidemiologic studies have revealed no increased risk of birth defects in women who have used oral contraceptives prior to pregnancy. Studies also do not suggest a teratogenic effect, particularly in so far as cardiac anomalies and limb reduction defects are concerned, when oral contraceptives are taken inadvertently during early pregnancy. Discontinue Minastrin 24 Fe if pregnancy is confirmed.
Administration of oral contraceptives to induce withdrawal bleeding should not be used as a test for pregnancy [see Use in Specific Populations].
Carefully observe women with a history of depression and discontinue Minastrin 24 Fe if depression recurs to a serious degree.
Carcinoma of the Breast and Cervix
Minastrin 24 Fe is contraindicated in women who currently have or have had breast cancer because breast cancer may be hormonally-sensitive. [see CONTRAINDICATIONS].
There is substantial evidence that COCs do not increase the incidence of breast cancer. Although some past studies have suggested that COCs might increase the incidence of breast cancer, more recent studies have not confirmed such findings.
Some studies suggest that COCs are associated with an increase in the risk of cervical cancer or intraepithelial neoplasia. However, there is controversy about the extent to which these findings may be due to differences in sexual behavior and other factors.
Effect on Binding Globulins
The estrogen component of COCs may raise the serum concentrations of thyroxine-binding globulin, sex hormone-binding globulin and cortisol-binding globulin. The dose of replacement thyroid hormone or cortisol therapy may need to be increased.
A woman who is taking COCs should have a yearly visit with her healthcare provider for a blood pressure check and for other indicated healthcare.
Hereditary Angioedema
In women with hereditary angioedema, exogenous estrogens may induce or exacerbate symptoms of angioedema.
Chloasma may occasionally occur, especially in women with a history of chloasma gravidarum. Women with a tendency to chloasma should avoid exposure to the sun or ultraviolet radiation while taking Minastrin 24 Fe.
Patient Counseling Information
See FDA-approved patient labeling (PATIENT INFORMATION). Counsel patients on the following information:
- Cigarette smoking increases the risk of serious cardiovascular events from COC use, and women who are over 35 years old and smoke should not use COCs.
- Increased risk of VTE compared to non-users of COCs is greatest after initially starting a COC or restarting (following a 4-week or greater pill-free interval) the same or a different COC.
- Minastrin 24 Fe does not protect against HIV infection (AIDS) and other sexually transmitted infections.
- The WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS associated with COCs.
- Minastrin 24 Fe is not to be used during pregnancy; if pregnancy occurs during use of Minastrin 24 Fe, instruct the patient to stop further intake.
- Take one capsule daily by mouth at the same time every day. Instruct patients what to do in the event pills are missed. See "What to Do if You Miss Capsules" section in FDA-approved patient labeling.
- Use a back-up or alternative method of contraception when enzyme inducers are used with Minastrin 24 Fe.
- COCs may reduce breast milk production. This is less likely to occur if breastfeeding is well established.
- Women who start COCs postpartum, and who have not yet had a period, should use an additional method of contraception until they have taken a yellow capsule for 7 consecutive days.
- Amenorrhea may occur. Rule out pregnancy in the event of amenorrhea in two or more consecutive cycles.
Nonclinical Toxicology
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
[See WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and Use in Specific Populations.]
Use In Specific Populations
There is little or no increased risk of birth defects in women who inadvertently use COCs during early pregnancy. Epidemiologic studies and meta-analyses have not found an increased risk of genital or non-genital birth defects (including cardiac anomalies and limb reduction defects) following exposure to low dose COCs prior to conception or during early pregnancy.
The administration of COCs to induce withdrawal bleeding should not be used as a test for pregnancy. COCs should not be used during pregnancy to treat threatened or habitual abortion.
Nursing Mothers
When possible, advise the nursing mother to use other forms of contraception until she has weaned her child. COCs can reduce milk production in breastfeeding mothers. This is less likely to occur once breastfeeding is well-established; however, it can occur at any time in some women. Small amounts of oral contraceptive steroids and/or metabolites are present in breast milk.
Pediatric Use
Safety and efficacy of Minastrin 24 Fe have been established in women of reproductive age. Efficacy is expected to be the same in postpubertal adolescents under the age of 18 years as for users 18 years and older. Use of this product before menarche is not indicated.
Geriatric Use
Minastrin 24 Fe has not been studied in postmenopausal women and is not indicated in this population.
Renal Impairment
The pharmacokinetics of Minastrin 24 Fe has not been studied in subjects with renal impairment.
Hepatic Impairment
The pharmacokinetics of Minastrin 24 Fe has not been studied in subjects with hepatic impairment. However, steroid hormones may be poorly metabolized in patients with hepatic impairment. Acute or chronic disturbances of liver function may necessitate the discontinuation of COC use until markers of liver function return to normal and COC causation has been excluded [see CONTRAINDICATIONS and WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Body Mass Index
The safety and efficacy of Minastrin 24 Fe in women with a body mass index (BMI) > 35 kg/m² has not been evaluated [see Clinical Studies].This monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.

Pop Quiz, Hotshot: New Marketing Institute's Online Crash Course
Training my new colleague Josh included an intense hour-long powwow where I tried to explain the inner workings of the industry at a relatively high level. Afterward his eyes were as wide as dinner plates and his jaw trembled slightly – I could tell I'd completely overloaded his mind.
I hope that's not the same experience for the brave souls who try the online training element of MediaMath's New Marketing Institute (NMI) on digital education platform Grovo, especially considering that the crash course covers the basics of display advertising in less than an hour – 18:32 flat. Then again, with such a fast-changing space, can you even afford to spend around 20 minutes learning (or refreshing on) the basics?
As a supplement to the NMI's in-person training sessions held at the Direct Marketing Association's headquarters in New York,The introductory crash course consists of 15 animated videos, each with a short quiz immediately following. Varying in length between less than a minute and a little over two, this set hits everything from "The Key Players" to "Impressions" to "Economics of Display" and even "Consumer Advertising and Privacy."
Coming from the minds of MediaMath, it's not surprising that programmatic buying is a focus from the start – in "The Key Players," the narrator explains, "Historically, [buying and selling] was done manually…" (yes – manual ad buying and selling is totally a thing of the past!) before defining demand-side platforms, sell-side platforms and exchanges.
The video shows the machine-driven trading process as exactly that – conveyor belts from the buy and sell side flowing into a giant, crunching engine, which spurts out stacks of dollars for the pubs while agencies get… Eyeballs. Yes, I had to rewind a few times to make sure that's what I saw.
Which goes to show the whimsical element of the course – the "historical" piece mentioned above is sepia-colored and made to appear on old film stock. The friendly user environment of Grovo makes some really difficult material easier to digest while delivering some smirks. In addition to smart illustration, each video page contains glossary terms linked to the section relevant video segment.
Certified members of the New Marketing Institute receive access to not just the online advertising material, but also the rest of Grovo's premium educational catalog – more than 3,000 lessons on a variety of topics, including social media, cloud computing and many other facets of digital marketing. By itself, NMI seems like a pretty handy tool for a newbie's initiation… Or maybe as a quick refresher for an old pro.
Gavin Dunaway is Editorial Director of AdMonsters, heading up all website and print content as well as planning agendas for conferences like the Publisher Forum and Ops. Previously he served as Senior Editor for interactive advertising trade news depot Adotas.com, and before that he held reporting and editing roles for numerous industry-related publications. When not diligently producing news and feature articles related to ad ops, he enjoys playing guitar so loud that the walls shake. Follow him, if you dare, on Twitter at @AdMonsterGavin.
Nice one! And same thoughts on the topic. Display advertising is not that strongly about programmatic buying.
I did not get 100% from the Quiz on that. I have problem with couple of the questions. This in the one:
Question 2: Which of the following is an advantage of DSPs over traditional methods of buying advertising?
I. An increase in efficiency
II. Automated analytics
III. Better returns for advertisers
Possibilities to answer
a) I and II only
b) I and III only
c) II and III only
d) I, II, and III
D seems to be right answer by the quiz. I disagree. It is not always about better returns for advertisers, it might and should be, but it not always that.
So even the whole thing is great and you can learn the basics from it, you also can easily see who has paid for it.

572 with blower
I am putting a 8-71 on a 572, do the heads and block need to be machined to accept the rings style head gasket
Ring style head gasket? If you're referring to "O" ringing the block, which is not part of a head gasket, yes. Unless you're going to be running an obscene amount of boost, why do that?
Here's the scoop on copper gaskets used with o-rings....
Copper Gasket Tech
Counsel with your blower supplier guy about the need for o-rings.
sure would like to see your motor and blower combo. post some pictures!
I was reading on a head gasket that has a .050 wire incorporated in the gasket itself, so im not sure if it would still be considered "O" ringing the block, but if so that's fine, also plan on running no underdrive and producing about 12 to 15 lbs of boost
15 pounds of boost huh? What's your SCR? Even as low as 8.5:1, you realize your effective c.r. will be 17.8:1? You won't do it on 92 pump gas, even with meth injection you'd be pushing it.
To make 12.1 pounds of boost in a 540 motor you would need to overdrive an 8-71 30%, I'd estimate a 572 will require at least 40% overdriven to get 15 pounds. 1:1 in a 540 will make 6 pounds.
Are you building a tall deck or standard deck engine? (curious) a couple turbos would be nice and easier to hide
572 with 8:71
I would love to post pics but the engine is in process of being built, that's why im getting info now,
I spoke to a local builder but not a big supercharger kind of person, but he suggested to "O" ring the block with a high quality head gasket with an acceptance grove in the heads.
Pretty standard for high boost. May be a little overkill, may not.
You have two threads, same subject and questions, they've been merged here.
Jim Oddy is retired now.If you could find him maybe you could convince him to help you out.
Is this a street car? What type of fuel do you plan to run? An 8-71 on a 572ci engine and trying to make 12 to 15lbs of boost, you will need decent fuel.
No need to O-ring the heads or block. A MLS gasket will handle double that boost level. You may want to talk to a few other engine builders that have played with forced induction in the last 15 years. Unless this is a very high boost alcohol deal there is really no need to O-ring it.
methanol at 99.9% pure from alky is fuel of choice

Quality of life in Europe: Trends 2003‑2012
Eurofound has conducted the European Quality of Life Survey EQLS) in 2003, 2007 and 2011. This report compares the results from the three waves to provide evidence of trends and change in the quality of life of Europeans over a decade. It also examines whether differences across EU Member States have narrowed or remained stable. One of its findings is that subjective well-being has remained stable across the EU as whole, but it also finds that financial strain in households has grown in the wake of the economic crisis. The report proposes a more active approach to social protection, as lower household income is a strong negative influence on quality of life, and especially so in an economic downturn. An executive summary is available - see Related content.

The Destination
The town of Jackson bills itself as "New Hampshire's Best Kept Secret." Take one look and you'll understand it's no misnomer: Mountaintops drip with bright flowers or pure snow, stately steeples dot the skyline, and bucolic farmlands stretch on for acres. The historic district's cottages, old grammar schools, and a stone castle set high on a hill hint at a storied past. Meanwhile, downtown art and photo galleries, general stores, and Adirondack furniture crafters serve the present population. Whether their time is spent skiing down the White Mountains or fly-fishing in low falls that feed the Wildcat River, visitors to Jackson may make it so the secret's out sooner than later.
The Digs
To get away from it all, head over a covered bridge built in 1876, through the hedge of Canadian hemlocks, up the steps of the wraparound porch, and into The Inn at Thorn Hill & Spa—number 22 on Condé Nast's Top 100 Places to Stay in the World. Bathrobes, feather beds, an outdoor year-round hot tub, gas fireplaces, and steam showers make this resort at the edge of the White Mountain National Forest what The Washington Post called one of the most romantic inns in North America. You'll also enjoy concierge service and a full day spa.
All Classic and Deluxe Rooms, located in the Carriage House, feature traditional floral décor and private bathrooms; some have Jacuzzi tubs. There are no televisions in the Carriage House, giving you ample time to gather around the wood-burning brick fireplace in its shared great room.

Why Marco Scutaro's option is a no-brainer for the Red Sox
|10.26.11 at 6:49 pm ET
Marco Scutaro is an unassuming presence. He is often self-effacing, resides relatively quietly in the far corner of the row of Red Sox position players, and simply blends in. On and off the field, he is an ideal complementary player, but one who rarely commands the attention of his more decorated teammates.
Nonetheless, he has quietly been just about everything the Red Sox could have hoped for when they signed him to a two-year deal for a guaranteed $12.5 million that also included both a team option (at $6 million, with a $1.5 million buyout if declined) and, should the Sox not exercise their option, a player option (at $3 million) for the 2012 season.
The Sox have until two days after the conclusion of the World Series to exercise their option. If they were to decline it, then Scutaro would have two days to decide whether to exercise his player option. But it would be shocking if it got to that point.
After all, Scutaro is coming off one of the best seasons of his career. Though limited to 113 games (the result of time sidelined by an oblique injury as well as the loss of his job in the early season to Jed Lowrie, who was scorching hot in April but cooled over the subsequent months), Scutaro had a career-best .299 average with a .358 on-base percentage (the second-best mark of his career), a career-best .423 slugging mark and a .781 OPS that was also the second-highest of his career. In two seasons with the Red Sox, he has a line of .284/.343/.401/.744.
To put those number in context: Since the start of 2010, there have been 27 players in the majors who have played at least 200 games, primarily at shortstop. Of those, Scutaro ranks ninth in OPS, ahead of both Alexei Ramirez of the White Sox and Derek Jeter of the Yankees. His .343 OBP is eight-best in the majors, ahead of Stephen Drew and Starlin Castro. In other words, Scutaro has been a clearly above-average offensive shortstop in his tenure with the Sox.
His recent offensive numbers compare favorably to those of Jimmy Rollins, the Phillies shortstop who hit .268/.338/.399/.737 in 2011. And while Scutaro cannot match Rollins in the field or on the bases, the difference between the overall value of the two is much smaller than one might assume.
All of that, in turn, suggests that the decision on Scutaro's option is really no decision at all. For the Sox, the difference between picking up Scutaro's $6 million option and paying his $1.5 million buyout is just $4.5 million. That dollar figure qualifies as relatively short money for a player of his skill set. In the coming free-agent class, there is one legitimate start shortstop in Jose Reyes, who won the National League batting title and is an impact offensive player as well as baserunner who, at 28, has prime career years ahead of him. Then there is Rollins, who is 33, has seen his offense fall from elite to passable over the last three years, yet still seeks a long-term deal.
Behind them, there are players such as Rafael Furcal (who has averaged fewer than 100 games in the past four years), Clint Barmes, who enjoyed a career-year at 33 years old and other options such as Clint Barmes, Ronny Cedeno and Alex Gonzalez, all of whom were terrible offensively.
In that environment, $4.5 million for Scutaro borders on a bargain compared to what he would receive in free agency, where he might once again be in line for a multi-year deal (as he was after the 2009 season, when he chose a two-year deal with an option from the Sox over a three-year deal from the A's), and he would also likely receive a higher salary than that.
"Scut had a really good year and we believe he'd be really coveted this season if he got onto the open market," Sox GM Ben Cherington said on Tuesday.
With Jose Iglesias clearly needing more minor league seasoning in Triple-A, and Lowrie (whose early promise in 2011 fizzled in part due to a collision with Carl Crawford that had him nursing a shoulder injury for the duration of the year) having suffered through an inconsistent season, Scutaro offers the Sox a stabilizing presence.
Already, since injuries and then a trade spelled the end of Nomar Garciaparra's hold on the position in 2004, Scutaro has more plate appearances (1,055) at shortstop than any other Sox player. And he is now just 17 games behind Julio Lugo at short for the most by a Red Sox in that time.
It is, of course, popular to discuss the shortstop carousel that the Sox have featured at short. The reality is that Scutaro has helped to put the brakes on the ride, something that he is almost certain to continue doing next season.

They are pretty quick to ship, I have 2 of them.
This is a discussion on Just bought first old faithful IWB holster! within the Defensive Carry Holsters & Carry Options forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Just ordered myself a Old faithful holster for my sig 2340. This will be my first IWB holster so I hope it will be mailed ...
Just ordered myself a Old faithful holster for my sig 2340. This will be my first IWB holster so I hope it will be mailed quickly as Im very excited to see if I will be able to pull off the IWB with such a large gun... Anyone have recent order with them over at old faithful how long of a wait did you have?
They are pretty quick to ship, I have 2 of them.
Ordered mine on 1/26. Still waiting. Confirmation email from them said estimated ship is 2/11-2/25.
I ordered an Old Faithful holster Jan. 9 and received it Feb. 2 (this past Saturday). That's about 3.5 weeks.
Ordered mine January 10th, got email on 1/31 that it had shipped, just received it today. Quality is great, online video for assembly, took about 15 minutes to get it together.
I forgot to mention I found a discount for the old faithful holsters if anyone is looking to buy from them. Promo code is 20% off type in GUNTALK for the promo code.
Passing along a tip: Prior to getting the Old Faithful holster I used a Remora IWB. I've found the O.F. to require a little more room inside my pants. Fortunately my pants still fit around it, but I did get a new belt to make it easier. My main gun belt is leather with 1" hole spacing and I could not get it to fit just right--either a little too big or too saggy. So yesterday I picked up a Cabela's Last Chance Heavy-Duty Belt (similar to a Wilderness Instructor Belt, but cheaper and available in my local Cabela's--not rated for climbing BTW). This belt let's me adjust it to exactly the best fit plus it is a more flexible than my leather belt, but still thick and stiff enough for the job. I'm carrying a M&P Shield 9mm in it, so not as much weight as your Sig 2340.
Ransom thanks for the belt posting! I was looking at the wilderness instructor belt online yesterday but decided after reading many reviews I would like to see if I could find something local that I could try on before I spent the cash. Lucky we will have a cabelas opening in a few weeks not far from my city so hopefully beable to pick one of those up.
Glad it was helpful. By the way, the belt comes in two thicknesses. Be sure to the the heavy duty version, which is double thickness. It should be $24.99 list price. When I bought mine, I had my CC gun on and stepped into a changing room to check the fit.
While you're at Cabela's, if you find you need pants with a bigger waist size, check out the Wrangler ProGear Jeans. I like them a lot--heavier denim and bigger pockets than most jeans, and Cabela's sometimes has them on sale for $15-20.
Mine arrived today and I got it put together. Nice that you can save a couple buck by doing the assembly yourself. Good quality leather and their kydex mold fits my sig p250 perfect. Very pleased so far. Now to break it in!
Does anybody here use their high-rise OWB slide belt holster? If you do - how do you like it?
Vietnam Veteran - 1966-1970 USASA
Carry Pistol. FNS 9, 9mm.
Carry Pistol. FNX 40, .40 Cal.
Bersa Thunder 9 UC Pro, 9mm. Gave To Daughter To Carry.
Self Defense Stories
Give me a minute before I post again.
I've had mine for over six months now...wear it almost every day. I love this holster...I know when I purchase another gun the next purchase will be an Old Faithful holster to carry it.
My husband really likes his. It took 3 weeks or so to come in, but that was before the craziness. I will be getting one next for my 229. It went together easily and I've worn his with a 1911 in it and it was really comfortable.
Got my holster today put it together and feels great! As I bought it for my first cc gun the sig 2340 I def will have to learn some tricks if I think Im going to cc such a large gun once it warms up here in MI. Holster at 3'o clock and a sweatshirt conceals pretty well but a large shirt not so much still can see the grip protrude a bit any ideas veterans of cc on this issue?

Wicked Ridge
If you honestly believe a company (TenPoint) is going to tell you it's ok to use a different product than the one they have mandated then you are the naive one.
I believe it's the same case as the TenPoint one with the logo.
Wyvern, look no further.
Mine does the same. Purpose of the lighted reticle is to allow you to see it in low light. No need for it in daylight.
Call TenPoint tomorrow, they'll take care of you.
I still have an old Proline Point Blank vertical bow. It was a damn good bow in it's day.
I think that was a mistake. Middle crosshair at 30 should have you pretty close at 20 and 40.
There ya go, part of what you're paying for with a TenPoint.
I don't have anywhere near the experience as most of you with crossbows. As a matter of fact, my only experience is with my Turbo II. Out of the box and the first couple hundred shots I thought the...

Dave is knowledgeable and opinionated but most importantly, honest. He's earned my respect and my business. If he says something happened a certain way.........good enough for me.
You don't buy a crossbow as an investment. You buy one to have fun and to kill critters. A quick search on GunBroker shows I can get a new Tikka Tactical 308 for $1300. $1300 - $700 cash leaves...

Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by CyberB0b, Dec 11, 2012.
can you be a dynasty if you go 9 seasons between SB wins?
10 playoff berths...missed the season after their 1st SB win and the season without Brady, but still finished 12-4....only the Broncos managed to finish 12-4 and fail to make the playoffs.
A great track record nonetheless.
Yes. Getting to the playoffs every year. Only one team gets the trophy, but they've gotten the chance for it every year for a decade. Even if they did have to cheat to get there. Didn't stop the 49ers either.
Salary cap fraud is different than actual game-time cheating, i.e. what goes on during the actual game. You can question coaching and player legacy in the latter respect, because it concerns the actual game day.
I was also hissed off by Spygate - really enjoyed the Giants beating the Patriots in that Super Bowl as a result.
The question is how big a factor was cheating in New England's success the past decade? On the taping, most of us know Belichick said it only mattered to be a 1 on a scale of 1 to 100, then Kraft declared him a smuck. Yes, their three Super Bowl wins were by three points, but unless there was something more substantial, their wins were legit. If he was a free agent, Belichick would be the most sought after coach of this generation.
I will say he got a slap on the hand for Spygate and got nothing what Sean Peyton did.
This was what it was like watching the cowboys under Landry folks
I'm amazed Brady has lasted this long.
You look at him, and he looks like a mama's boy/pretty boy.
That is supposed to matter?
Back then the talent was much more concentrated and you had greater teams.
Look at the 60's and how many HOF players were on the packers, colts, etc.
They will not, in a 20 year span, have 20 winning seasons AND 18 playoff berths.
It goes well beyond taping and the NFL knows it, which is why they burned the evidence, not to mention Kraft's connections within the league. The guy guilty of it opinion on how much it mattered, is absolutely irrelevant. He's a flat out cheater.
^ Are there any free links with this more damaging information?
I have an open mind.
As much as I liked Lance Armstrong, the testimony since last August was so overwhelming I had to conclude he doped.
Because coaching + quarterbacking is what it's all about.
If we ever get both then we will have more success as well.
Just google Spygate: The Untold Story that was published this year. There are plenty of reviews if you just want free information, but it's abundantly clear that evidence wasn't simply about 'taping' and that there was massive cover-up.
It's also pretty clear that the NFL has vested interests in making everything seem fine and good.
I used to think that before 2007 but not anymore
I suspect in that confrontation, Belichek was not the one who blinked. The threat of the real dirt coming out was probably too much for NFL brass.
The other day I think Peyton his his 10th straight season with 10 wins as a starter.
lol @ you guys who think Belichek isn't all that great because he got some film on a team.
I'm sure that went on with every team.
He is not the greatest for the simple reason that with only 3 rings in 4 years and none since 2004, he does not qualify
If there's a brilliance in Belichick, it lies within SpyGate and what resulted from SpyGate.
We know that he is good friends with Jimmy Johnson and Jimmy tried to stick up for Belichick in the SpyGate scandal by stating that he tried to steal signals by using Howard Mudd to see if they could get the signals, but they just couldn't pull it off.
I think Belichick, who learned things from Jimmy like the value of stockpiling picks, thought that if a team could steal signs with a high level of accuracy, the advantage would be there. And thru the use of cameras (Mudd had to do it w/o cameras) and Ernie Adams' quick and brilliant football mind, they were able to pull that off and have way more success than they should have.
But the brilliance extended to how they were able to use their success to their advantage. This is a copycat league and the league often thinks 'if you can't beat them, trade for them.' Thus, you got all these teams trying to do it 'the Patriots way' and acquiring overhyped assistant coaches and making silly trades with the Patriots when the real key to their success was SpyGate and Brady. Most other organizations would never figure out how to use their success to their advantage.
Lastly, people often forget that the AFC East may be the worst division in football. The main reason being is that outside of Brady, none of the other teams have been able to establish anything that looks like a quality franchise QB.
Between the Jets, Dolphins and Bills, the best QB of the bunch in the last 10 years has been Chad Pennington. And by 2002, his shoulder was so messed up that he completely lost his arm strength and couldn't stay healthy. And the '08 season the Dolphins really relied upon the Wildcat to make the playoffs with Pennington. No other division has had anywhere near that lack of quality QB's than the AFC East.
Take a look:
AFC North: Roethlisberger, Palmer, Dalton, Flacco
AFC South: P. Manning, Luck, Vince Young, Schaub, Garrard
AFC West: P. Manning, Cutler, Plummer, Rivers, Brees, Gannon
NFC East: Romo, RG3, McNabb, Vick, E. Manning
NFC North: Cutler, Favre, Rodgers, Stafford
NFC South: Brees, Ryan, Newton, Delhomme, Freeman
NFC West: Bulger, Warner, A. Smith, Hasselbeck
The AFC East, outside of Brady has had:
NY Jets: Sanchez, Pennington, Favre, Clemens, Bollinger
Buffalo: Bledsoe, Holcomb, Losman, Edwards and Fitzpatrick
Miami: Fiedler, Feeley, Frerotte, Harrington, Lemon, Pennington, Henne and Tannehill
So the Pats are at a very distinct advantage due to them playing in the worst division in football.
No, it didn't. Like I said, it's not simply about 'taping' signals. The first thing one does is affirm that one committed some mistakes, but those mistakes were trivial. This admission takes away from people 'poking' into what really was going on, because their were far bigger dirty secrets. It went far beyond that.

Date of Stay: July, 2005
This park has the prettiest gravel I have ever seen, in fact, the entire place is very neat and tidy and pretty. But there is a Stepfordian feel to it that made us rather uncomfortable. Hard to relax with all those rules and regulations posted every 5 feet offering a "bounty" for offenders. The dog walk (so highly praised a couple of reviews above) was admittedly nice but unusable after dark. I had to let my dog take a stealth pee in the gravel at about 5 a.m. luckily, no one saw and reported me, or I'd probably have been kicked out! And the sites were uncomfortably close together, even though we paid extra for a wide one. Since we were only there overnight, we didn't experience any of the problems that a few others have noted. And I must emphasize that the owners were very polite to us at check in. As noted, it IS a lovely park. I can understand why they are proud of it. But, the abundance of signs and rules made me feel like I was staying at a pleasant little detention camp. I could understand all those "thou shalt nots" if we were staying at their house for free, but we were paying customers. Note to J and H, unfortunately, when you're running a business, sometimes you just have to deal with the pesky public! And most businesses try to cater to the customer, rather than expecting the customer to cater to them. If you like things just so and are an unabashed nit-picker (or a former high school hall monitor) you will enjoy your stay greatly. If you're the type that tends not to wear your panties in a knot, then you probably would be more comfortable camping elsewhere.
Date of Stay: June, 2005
This is a nice, no-frills overnighter...not too fancy and catering more to the older rigs and trailers...but if you just want a good night's rest and no litany of rules thrown at you, this is a fine stop. Managers were friendly and helpful...showed us to our spot and sold us (would have let us borrow if we'd wanted) a converter since our spot was 50A. Sites are grass/gravel and pretty level...rather close together and no landscaping, but that's par for the course in West Texas. At the back end of the campground was a barbequeing and kids' play area. Not much there, but it did have grass and shade trees. No designated dog area, but the field behind the park is in process of being upgraded with more sites (supposed to include an enclosed dog run eventually), so the dogs were welcome to go back there. Showers and toilet areas are old and about the size of the ones in our rig, but they were clean, and an obvious attempt had been made to pretty them up with geegaws. Decent size pool looked clean, but it was locked up when we got there...assume it is only open when the office is. There's a large rec area by the office that has a few supplies plus tables/chairs/TV and some basic exercise equipment. Park was dusty and gravelly but, again, you're in West Texas...and if you like stark views, you can see for miles around you. After all the improvments are completed, this should be a pretty good little RV park (but need cable TV at a minimum). We'd stay again.
Date of Stay: June, 2005
Yes, it's a big blacktop parking lot and the spots are close together, but what do you expect from the back lot of a casino in the middle of the desert? We didn't want to mess with driving around LV (not the best traffic patterns in the world there!) so we went with convenience over beauty. The good: 1) there are a few oases of grass and nice big trees every row or so. Some are for people use only; the others are designated dog areas and have convenient dog bag dispensers mounted on posts...greatly appreciated. 2) The bathrooms were clean and tidy, with (apparently newly installed) revolving toilet seats covers that give you a fresh place to sit each time :~) 3) Extra credit points for a great lighted magnifying mirror in the ladies' room. 4) Pool looked inviting though we didn't have time to try it out. 5) Laundry was small but got the job done. 6) Well-lighted at night...maybe a bit too much light...and lots of security at all hours. 7) Big store selling mostly souvenirs and a few convenience items, snack, ice, etc. 8) Personnel were professional if not overly friendly. The bad (or annoying): 1) While there are several large enclosed gravel areas where dogs can run loose, they are basically only good to use early in the a.m. and at night...with all the rock and no shade, they are way too hot for day use. Though we understand the gravel, some sort of overhang to block the sun could be provided, making them more usable. And don't let your dogs walk on the asphalt in the afternoon or they will burn their paws! We had to carry or run them real fast from grassy spot to grassy spot when they needed to "go"...no way could we walk them during the day. 2) The dumpster was ALWAYS overflowing. Sheesh, they make enough money there...can't they afford an extra bin or three? 3) And they are picky about letting anyone in for repairs who is not on their "list". We limped in on a flat, and the only person who had the right tires and equipment to change it was 1.5 hrs out of LV. We had to get the manager's OK for them to come in...but when she called for herself to confirm that the approved repair houses could not help us out, she did agree they could come in. So, this one gets only a partial ding. Overall, if you don't mind the parking lot ambiance and the heat, this is a clean, convenient, professionally run campground. If our main reason to go to LV again was to gamble and wander the strip, we'd stay again.
Date of Stay: June, 2005
We arrived after dark and the office was closed, so we followed the directions on the office sign which said to pick a spot and pay in the morning. Sites were gravel and nicely level, and we didn't have any trouble pulling through. Since we were staying overnight only, we didn't have time to check out anything other than the dumpster (yay, not overflowing) and the laundry/restrooms area. It took a bit to I.D. the restrooms as such...they look like little private cabins, since they are raised well above the ground and have cute names on their doors. Each proved to be a private, self-contained powder room with shower...a much appreciated change from the usual group showers/toilets. The steps, ramp, and deck area (even the railings) around the restrooms and laundry have non-slip surfaces applied to the wood. Only complaint was the fact that the office was still closed when we left early in the a.m. and, as there were no rates posted, we weren't sure how much we owed! We simply went with the price as noted in the previous review and deposited it in the night box before going on our way. The rest of the trip, however, we wondered if we paid too much (or too little). We would overnight here again.

Talking Urinal Cakes Deter MI Drunk Drivers
There's some talking going on in the men's room in various Michigan locations…but it's not what you think.
FOX News Radio's Jennifer Keiper has the state's newest initiative to curb drunk drivers:
Audio clip:
Men, if you use the urinal at a bar in Michigan this holiday weekend, you might here this:
(Talking Urinal Cake) "Hey, listen up. That's right, I'm talking to you."
It's a talking urinal cake.
(Men from MI) "That's kinda wrong."//"In a man's urinal? Oh, no. You gotta be kidding me."//"It's interesting. It's unique, never seen anything like that before."
And the state of Michigan is hoping that people get the message, which is a serious one.
(Talking Urinal Cake) "Had a few drinks? Maybe a few too many? Then do yourself and everyone else a favor, call a sober friend or a cab."
The state urinal cake program runs through July 8th.

I have recently become addicted the the site, Pinterest. From what I cook to the way I arrange the photos on my mantle, Pinterest has effectively inspired me. It is an online pinboard where you can organize different ideas. I am up to 22 boards with 748 pins to these boards! I consult my "eats" recipe board frequently and keep the "oh so clean and organized" ideas on the back burner!
What I just discovered was the plethora of creative choices it brings to teachers and parents. Back in my day of teaching, I was constantly revising lesson plans to snatch up the attention of students. I can't imagine the fun we could have had if I found these clever ideas to spin off. From classroom management and organization to hands on projects, the wheel has been invented and is laid out for you with a photo and often a tutorial.
I remember many times during my first year of teaching thinking about this concept, but in a much more primitive (ahem, hard copy) form. I thought it would be great if all teachers could place their "best" ideas in a book for other teachers to learn from. This is much better than that! It's like browsing an endless, shiny magazine of all subjects. Undoubtedly you will think, "Why didn't I think of that?"
PInterest has a category devoted specifically to education where you can scroll through what seems like (and may be) thousands of educational ideas. I realize that not everyone has the time to do that, so I suggest you find people to follow that have similar interests as you. Find other teachers who are "pinners" (the official name for Pinterest participants) and follow them. The items that they pin will come across your feed and then you can re-pin them to your own boards if you like the idea. I have a friend that is a kindergarten teacher and she has 10 boards devoted to various aspects of teaching. Any elementary teacher would gain a new idea by looking at her page alone. One of my favorite postings she pinned is Dollar Tree Teacher Ideas http://pinterest.com/pin/28429041367740864/. What teacher or parent couldn't use some brilliant ideas that are easy on the wallet?
Speaking of money, Pinterest is free! I suggest you ask another pinner to send you an invite if you know one. If no one has mentioned it, give a shout out on facebook or twitter that you are looking for an invite. This is the quickest way to get started. If that doesn't work out, just request one from http://pinterest.com/. As soon as you're logged in, you can make your own boards and start organizing ideas.
If you get a little frustrated, just check out the "humor" category. You will be chuckling in no time and then you can return to getting inspired! Have fun.

이 호스트의 또 다른 숙소후기
This was a beautiful apartment in a great location. The building felt safe, with a secure gate and a security guard. It was an easy walk to Santa Fe and major train/bus lines. The kitchen was great for cooking. We enjoyed the lovely balcony almost daily with it's view of the city. Marcos made arriving and departing easy. The only negative was a noisy nearby train line but we got used to it.
We really appreciated both this flat and the surroundings. A very useful balcony with sun in the afternoon. Fully equipped with all you need. Two bathrooms are always useful. A nice view from large windows both upstairs and downstairs makes the flat look bigger. A very well kept pool on the top floor, with a gym just beside, makes your living space feel great. A very sunny spot with nice view. The surroundings are calm with good, not too expensive, family driven restaurants. Our host, Marcos was the best you can get. We love this place and already want to be back.
Nice apartment with all basic equipment you might need and clean. The location is great, just around the corner of the metro and trains in a beautiful district!
In summer it must be really nice to use the pool. Unfortunately we visited Buenos Aires in winter. ;)
2 weeks in beautiful Buenos Aires.What can else can we say ?
Magnifique ! :-)
Loft is functional and clean. Small wink at the balcony. Nice place to have breakfast and enjoy the morning sun while BS AS is waking up!
Location of this loft is just perfect, too. Train und subway station just at minutes walk.
Parlermo has so much to offer in terms of restaurants,cafés, little shops and green areas. I can only recomand!
Marcos is absolutely great. He was very helpful with our accomodations. He responded whenever we called with any difficulty. He help orient us to Buenos Aires. The aprtment was cozy, clean and suited our needs to a tee.
Great apartment at the right Location. Fantastic view from the roof while swimming in the pool. Palermo is the best place to stay in Buenos Aires.
Coole Wohnung an toller Lage. Hat alles perfekt geklappt. Vielen Dank. Wir hatten eine super Zeit in BA.
Maravilloso apartamento, situado muy cerca de estupendos restaurantes, subte , tiendas , me encanto la hopitalidad tanto del anfitrion marcos , como de los trabajadores del apartamento ( seguridad , limpieza .. etc). Apartamento muy luminoso , con una maravillosa vista desde la terraza y de la azotea , la cual disfrutamos mucho de la piscina , gym , sauna . Muy recomendable este apartamento.
Leider kann ich keine positive Bewertung schreiben.
Das Haus, die Wohnung, die Organisation wären super.
Aber die Wohnung ist schmutzig. Abgewetztes ekeliges Sofa.
Alles voller langer Haare, Staub, Dreck, Schimmel im "Bad"
Zum Teil vergammelte Lebensmittelreste vorheriger Besucher.
Raucher Wohnung.
Mit zum Teil neuen Möbeln und Grundrenovierung/Reinigung
ließe sich das bessern.
So, nie wieder !
Ce fut très agréable de parler français si loin de chez nous.Marcos a répondu rapidement à nos questions.Bon hôte .merci

After surfacing over a year ago, the mysterious Scottish artist who has been leaving intricate book sculptures in unexpected places returned last week. The anonymous artist was lured out by Book Week Scotland, the Guardian reports, and each of the five new sculptures references a classic of Scottish literature emerging in cut dimensions from its print, such as a dire sea scene from Compton Mackenzie's "Whisky Galore" (pictured above) that was discovered in the Am Politician Lounge Bar, and a delicate rendering of Peter Pan lifting Wendy to the skies that was found in J.M. Barrie's birthplace, Kirriemuir.
Clues were released that brought a discoverer to each work, and they are the first new sculptures since last November, when the mysterious artist left a paper cap and gloves and farewell note that revealed the artist to be a woman, the only known detail of the book sculptor's identity.
The sculptures first appeared in March of 2011, and the latest five, like the previous, were all left in free access literary and arts locales in Scotland. The first ten are currently being toured in an exhibition called "Gifted," which is at its final stop, the Scottish Poetry Library, through December 8.

Further into the old town we found the Cathedral, some more churches and the old city gates- very nice and accessible.
On the way to Riquewihr in the Alsace Wine region, we stopped at a beautiful little village called Kayserberg- located in the hills before the wine region, many nice bistros and brasseries along the main street We stopped at a Creperie and had wonderful Blinae stuffed with Jambon (ham), Gruyere cheese and Ouef (egg) French is spoken here!!! Being in the "deep provinces" many people only speak French, so we have to use our little- bonjour, merci, au revoir, and of course the language of the €!
Traveling to Riquewihr, there are so many vinyards- as far as the eye can see!
We arrived in Riquewihr shortly after and found our hotel (1608 on the left of the picture) to be very nice and we even got a loft in the room! Alsace is a famous White Wine region of France and we definitely went on search and testing/tasting many at different "degustation places", we purchased some 15 bottles to give to friends here in Europe and drink like water!
Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Noir, Muscat and Riesling wines are abundant and a at very reasonable prices (6 to 12 €- in Canada, it is not reserve wine and is way more expensive- you can't get the local "good stuff" at home!!)
We had a wonderful meal in our hotel le Sarment d'Or (see the menu) of cooked Goose Live Foie Gras and special Marillo Mushrooms and Chicken. The meal was completed with a fabulous Cr�me br�l�e. The video shows the restaurant before the downpour..
When we made our way to the room, it was absolutely pouring rain- just as bad as in Liege the other day! Water was coming from the roof and all over the floor in the lobby- a disaster for the owner/chef (the internet service here doesn't work although there is a good signal and everyone is running around trying to collect the rainwater...) The sleep was very poor overnight as there is a once every half hour gong that goes off in the gate tower next to our hotel. The closer it gets to the morning the more gongs it makes on the hour!

SBC's Gambit, Yahoo's Tidy Gain
By Burt Helm
A fast Internet connection just got a lot cheaper. On June 1, SBC Communications (SBC ) slashed prices on its high-speed broadband service by 25% -- setting a new floor of $14.95 a month for a speedy DSL connection. But consumers aren't the only ones to benefit from lower prices. Yahoo (YHOO ) is sitting pretty.
The portal has a deal with SBC to provide all of its Internet customers with services like e-mail, instant-messaging, and Web-hosting. Yahoo collects an undisclosed fee from the telecom giant for the services.
As lower prices lure more users to high-speed services, Yahoo will pick up a significant amount of new business with very little effort. Already, "the vast majority" of SBC's 5.6 million DSL subscribers use Yahoo's services, according to an SBC spokesperson.
The move comes as SBC and the other Baby Bells increasingly duke it out with the cable giants, which in addition to providing competing high-speed connections have recently encroached on telecom turf by offering voice-over-Internet protocol phone service (VoIP).
"We're continuing to experience pricing pressures as cable competitors continue to move the voice and broadband price points down" says Randall Stephenson, SBC's chief operating officer. "It's a competitive marketplace. We're seeing a move every month."
The new SBC pricing scheme is aimed at wooing users who still go online with poky dial-up modems. The price is comparable to fees charged by low-cost dial-up providers, and sharply undercuts AOL's $23.90 a month dial-up service. AOL declined to comment about SBC's price cut.
By going after the dial-up crowd, SBC hopes keep the cable companies at bay. "This is a market-share grab" says Mike McCormack, an analyst with Bear Stearns. "By using [aggressive pricing] as a tool to take broadband share, it means one less voice-over-IP customer for a cable company." And down the road, that customer may upgrade to a more-expensive level of DSL service.
Last quarter, SBC had a net increase of 504,000 in the number of DSL lines it provides customers. During the same period, Comcast (CMCSA ), the nation's largest broadband provider with 7.4 million subscribers, added 414,000 cable-modem lines. Cable connections are generally faster than DSL lines but are also more expensive.
While the aggressive pricing for a basic DSL service could come at a cost to SBC's profit margins, Yahoo will enjoy new business in one of its fastest growing segments -- fees from Internet providers that use its service. While making up only 13% of Yahoo's total revenue in the first quarter of 2005, that segment grew at a rate of 61% from the same period last year. In all, Yahoo has 8.9 million customers coming from partnerships with Rogers Communications (RG ) in Canada, British Telecom in Britain, and SBC.
That means even more traffic and related ad revenues for the Web portal. "You're not talking about a huge percentage of Yahoo's revenue overall," says Scott Kessler, director of Information Technology Equity Research at Standard & Poor's. "But any way you slice it, it's definitely a positive for Yahoo."
This summer, Yahoo will partner with Verizon Communications (VZ ), the other leading DSL provider, with 3.9 million subscribers, to offer Internet services to all of that company's new customers, as well as to existing subscribers who wish to use the Yahoo service.
And as the two telecom companies woo more people online, one thing is certain: Yahoo's portal will be the first thing waiting for each and every new broadband user.

"I haven't heard anything to convince me that one person could kill eight people and come out without a scratch,"
I haven't either Tyler. Guy will have to found Innocent.
O Fallon, MO
#2 May 28, 2010
Greg I just was reading a thread this past week that folks were commenting on and several stated
as was posted above "how one person could kill eight people"
#3 May 28, 2010
The experts have spoken. One person cannot kill eight persons. Don't do much research do you?
#4 May 28, 2010
Oh yeah,
A MAN has walked on the MOON too!
Since: Sep 09
#5 May 31, 2010
It is highly improbable that one person armed only with "a blunt object" could kill 8 people and try to kill another little boy by himself. And emerge from a single wide trailer without a scratch on him.
No one woke up and defended themselves? The families were sleeping feet apart if they were all asleep which we don't know.
O Fallon, MO
#6 Jun 1, 2010
I have been researching for almost a month and two of the questions that are the most interesting and that was brought up the most was as follows>>>>> >
(1) If he beat and killed them like he is charged why did he say there was 6 of his family members inside on the 911 call. If he did this he would have known there was 9 people. Wouldn't you think?....
(2) Why did he return home that morning? He stated he had been somewhere when he got home and made the 911 call. If he did it, why not leave and say put?
Can anyone that believes that Guy Jr. is murderer
answer these two questions.
#7 Jun 2, 2010
I want to know what the two pieces of evidence are that the police "claim" they have, haven't shared it, AND they still haven't even given it to the defense! The defense has only a couple of weeks to investigate. Wow--that sounds fair. What a crooked police department--THEY should be investigated!!!
#8 Jun 8, 2010
I have read so many different reports all with different information. I truly want to believe that this young man is innocent but I have unanswered questions as well. The day he made the 911 call he was arrested for several things...one being "tampering with eveidence." I recently read that this included the end of the gun covered in blood and his own bloody clothes. He "supposedly" wrapped them up and put them in the trunk of a car or something? I also read that he admitted to taking a shower & changing clothes inside the trailor before making the 911 call.
Has anyone else heard anything similar to this? Being a sealed case has made it hard to follow and rumors will grow like wild fires. Something else that I am curious about is the "viscious" dog. In his call the neighbor says she must get the dog before help arrives because it will bite. There is another 911 call from a woman at the front of the trailor park who knows the dispatcher on the phone. She too mentions the mean dog and how nobody could get passed it. Seems like whoever the murderer is was familar enough with the dog for it not to bark and wake people up or attack the way two 911 callers said it would.
#9 Jun 8, 2010
As I am sure you have read most of the posts.
Let me say thanks for posting.
I will let GHoward or Sunshine answer the questions about the bloody clothes but I do not think they were truth to this nor the end of gun.
One thing I always stated about the bad dog why didn't anyone hear the dog barking on the 911 type if it was so bad. The dog did not get untied until
Mike the maintenance man stated he had to move dog police were on the way.
I personally think with all this going on the dog would be going perserk.
#10 Jun 9, 2010
The dog would be "perserk" if it was a stranger. However, since it was Heinze, not so much "perserk" behavior going on....
#11 Jun 9, 2010
(Typical) what I meant I have been many places and they were a bad dog and something going on the dog would go crazy. I can only imagine the people around,crying,shouting and with the 911 call I would hate to think how many police,ambulances,firetrucks with all sirens going.
These can be heard from a distance.

#13 Jun 12, 2010
I just want to say I know this guy and I dont think he would ever do anything like this and also I agree how could he do what they said he done and walk away with no marks!?!
#14 Jun 12, 2010
(lacie) thanks again for coming forward
#15 Jun 23, 2010
of course he could not have done it by himself! you people in brunswick who think he could have must be the dumbest people on earth!

I know Guy and all their families as I grew up with Rusty and Guy Sr. These are all good people and I refuse to even entertain the notion that Jr did this. If ever there was a close family, this is it.
Until; Jr comes right out and says he did this, I will not beleive it
#18 Jun 26, 2010
Thumbs Up!(misplaced) as I post for myself and the few that believe in Guy Jr. innocent here on topix it is so encouraging to hear posts that show us they are others that believe as we do.

#19 Jun 26, 2010
I bet you do want to know but a DA doesn't gives the public a heads up on what he has nor does he owe the public anything. A DA tries their cases in a court of law not in the court of public opinion. He will present it in court though. You can bet your last dollar on that and there will be much more added to the list too.
How do you know they haven't been given the two pieces of evidence that came back early on? Since this involved so many victims I would think that some of the analysis still hasn't come back. Rarely are this many people slaughtered and rarely are crime scenes this bloody. That home was filled with forensic evidence galore.
What? The defense will have years to investigate. This case will not even come to trial for a couple of more years. Death penalty cases always takes longer than other cases.
United States
#20 Jun 26, 2010
I highly doubt that Jr is ever going to admit it. Who in the world would admit to something this heinous? Most defendants deny, deny, deny and I don't expect him to be any different.
Close families unfortunately can result in murders among the family members. It happens quite frequently and of course the ones that knows the perp will come out and say they were the nicest man or woman but in the end it doesn't really matter what they were if the evidence shows they are guilty then that is what will matter to the jury.
United States
#21 Jun 26, 2010
1. By guesstimating the amount of people in the home it made him seem like he really wasnt sure who all was there. A statement meant to deceive. Or when he said "my family is dead" he may have excluded the male friend, his girlfriend and the little child because he feels they are not part of his family.
2. Why does any other murderer say they came home and just happened upon their dead family? This same thing has happened in so many other cases. Don't really know why except he may have known it would look very suspicious if he didn't return to his home like normal if he was known to be home everyday. It would already look suspicious to LE since he was the only family member sparred this brutality. There was one person left standing in his family and that was him. That within itself would throw up red flags.
In other cases I have followed the murderer wants to pretend they are a victim themselves and had nothing to do with the crime and really do think LE will just believe their story that they just happened to come in and find them.

hey, you know why they use burlap in texas weddings?.....
On a side note I tooks some pics for ya a couple weeks ago I'll post them in a bit.
Chuck Norris has a grizzly bear carpet in his room. The bear isn't dead it is just afraid to move.
I've bought it at Walmart in the past, but our local one doesn't carry it anymore. We still have a Gibson's store that carries it, and I'll check their price next time I'm there (next week).
So many weeds.......so little time.
You might want to check with Sacramento Bag Company in Woodland California. Doubt if there's free shipping like Mann lake around the corner but might be worth a gander to help you get what you need.
Just picked up two bales of scrap for the old smokers there today.
In the past they have had rolls of new stuff of different weights (density) for sale. 5- 6 feet wide if I recall correctly. Would work great for tablecloths and who knows what else.
What a way to help celebrate a wedding. Since the old groom will be "burlapin" the bride once the weddings over it might as well put it to double use.
Better than reusing old coffee bags in the smoker fer sure.
For all you history or linguistic buffs who happen to be beekeepers you need to check out the following links especially if you "burn" burlap in the ol' smoker.
In the early part of the past century the people in a little valley north of Santa Rosa came up with their own language. One of the words they "invented" was burlapin which referred to taking a romp in / on the sack. Check it out.
Next time you throw some burlap in the smoker just keep in mind that it might have been used for a better purpose.
Ever wonder why the smokers get red hot when you pump them so fast. Now you know. Everything in life has more than one meaning I'm sure.
I have seen some big wide pieces of burlap used to cover concrete on a construction project. I was about to stop and pick some up last fall but someone beat me to it. It looked like they used it to help it cure slowly, it was a hi-way off ramp. When they were done they put it in a pile beside the road.
So you might try a concrete company.
I have no idea what they get for it.

New Jersey producer Seth Haley, a.k.a. Com Truise, is one of those musicians who works best in a studio, constantly documenting his every experiment with releases left and right. Fittingly, Ghostly International will release an album of studio outtakes and early recordings called In Decay on July 17, but you can listen to the full thing a day earlier via an album stream, courtesy of Stereogum.
The songs on In Decay precede Com Truise's official releases (the EPs Cyanide Sisters and Fairlight and the album Galactic Melt) but they're still fascinating nonetheless. If you've already listened to "Open," you know what your ears are in for: wobbly synths, rhythmic pitter-patter, and strong instrumental hooks from a man who spends some serious time on his craft. Take a listen below.
