Of course many of the stat mongers would like to anoint Sid the best player, and sure enough, if somebody questions it, with fact, no less, it hurts feelings. I understand this, but two Cups in this day and age with a very good possibility that the Hawks will repeat as champions surely places the onus on Sid and his legion of fanbois to either put up in the post season, or step aside so the real men can play when it actually matters. I have stated, countless times, no less, that I value a winner more then a stat compiler. Statistics don't make a career, imo, winning Cups do. Joe DiMaggio said it best; "they don't remember how many times you get on base, they remember how many rings you have". That says enough for me considering the guy has a practically unbreakable record.Sid can win every single scoring title for the rest of his career, ill take the player who wins Cups every single time.

What does my avatar have to do with this debate? I have been told, so far, that the NHL should shut down when Sid gets hurts, Malkin is a pick up league player (which I will get to shortly), Sid creates players like some sort of genetic wizard with a caldron in the dressing room, and that when awards are being handed out, the HWAA needs to have Sid stats and games played placed on the ballot. As preposterous as this myriad of reaching into the absurd has become, I have not once resorted to name calling, homosexual innuendo, or internet clichés. I have just provided facts, facts that just cannot be disputed unlike opinion. I knew many would be bitter, but fact is a bitter pill to swallow when it states the obvious.
Quick questions- Who has proven to be a better winner thru out their careers? Toews or Sid? And if winning is the most important thing, who would be the more important player to have?
Ill wait for an answer.
Good reply.

Strut replacement for ZHP
So I have a few questions for those experienced with Bilstein struts in particular. I am looking for OEM stiffness and feel but am wondering what the difference is between Bilstein "HD" and "Sport"? In pics that I have seen "HD" looks beefier than "Sport", but in description they say "Sport" is firmer and better handling. What do you guys recommend?
Thanks for replies. Joshua
*Edit- Also trying to keep the price reasonable, not looking for a complete suspension setup and drop with new springs. I just want to do struts, shocks, and end links.
The valving is the same on the shocks. HDs are for use with stock/sport springs, Sports are for use with lowering springs.
For end links go Lemforder, Meyle or Febi. The first is the best.
the Bilstein Sports are just built for the shorter travel of a lowering spring while the HD aren't. So like they said above it's the same internal valving but made optimally for a shoter spring. Other thing is that Bilsteins have internal bumpstops incorporated while other companies have external bumpstops that one has to replace or cut if going lower.
Sweet guys, thanks! That answers my questions. :bow:

Cole made just 42 appearances for Liverpool since joining the club from Chelsea in July 2010.
The midfielder joins the Hammers on a free transfer.
"It is a great move for me," the 31-year-old told West Ham's official website.
"Coming back here brings back all the memories of the pitches I learnt how to play on. This is where I learnt my trade and I'm happy to have another chance to be here. I've always loved West Ham and I hope I can give the club a few memorable seasons.
"The timing was right for me to come back and I'm happy. I'm back in London and I'm delighted to be here. I want to be here and I want to make an impact.
"The place has not changed much to look at, but I think Sam has done a great job with the team. A few years ago, the club was in a bad way and Sam has done brilliantly. All in all, it will always be West Ham and the history will always be here and everywhere I go around the world, people love West Ham. Everywhere I go, people know me for having started here."
Cole added: "Sam didn't have to sell me the club for me to come back. For me, I have had 18 months at Liverpool where I haven't played much football and Sam wants to play me. I'm going to need games to get back to my best, but I want to play football and come here and help the team to make an impact.
"I could see from the outside what a great bunch of lads we have here and there is a great spirit. I'm excited."

D'Ieteren Dives 22% on 'Nasty' Christmas Present: Brussels Mover
D'Ieteren SA plummeted the most in more than 16 months in Brussels trading after the owner of the world's largest vehicle-glass repair company warned that earnings will drop at least 10 percent in 2013 after a deeper- than-projected slide this year.
Shares of D'Ieteren plunged as much as 22 percent, the steepest slide since Aug. 5, 2011, and were down 5.81 euros, or 16 percent, at 30.92 euros apiece at 10:02 a.m. Brussels time.
D'Ieteren, based in Brussels, said on Dec. 21 that its 2013 pretax profit excluding one-time items could decline by 10 percent to 15 percent and that it now sees this year's earnings on that basis down about 30 percent, compared with a Nov. 8 estimate of a 25 percent drop.
D'Ieteren blamed "the persistent negative trends in the vehicle glass repair and replacement markets" for the change in its 2012 estimate. "In case such trends were to continue into the new year, despite probably more normal weather conditions," D'Ieteren said it would "anticipate a further decline of roughly 10 percent to 15 percent."
KBC analyst Pascale Weber called the profit warning a "nasty Christmas present" and downgraded D'Ieteren stock to hold from buy. The business model of Belron, the 93 percent- owned vehicle-glass unit, is "less resilient than we had expected," Weber said in a note to clients.
D'Ieteren cut about 400 jobs at Belron in the U.K. and the Netherlands this year. Belron operates in 34 countries under brand names such as Carglass, Autoglass and Safelite.

Well, semester number 1 is over, I have about a month until the spring term begins, so let's pick back up with our "50 Answers" segment. We pick up with the ancient Egyptian pagan mummy burial manual Book of Abraham.
Tower To Truth Question:
21. Does the LDS Church still regard the Book of Abraham in the Pearl of Great Price as Holy Scripture even after several prominent Egyptologists proved it was an ancient funeral scroll?
The LDS Church announced that fragments of the papyrus were from the Book of Breathings within two months of their acquisition.
The big print in the Church magazine published as soon as the scrolls were recovered can be seen here.
Critics often don't tell people that we are missing at least 85% of the scrolls that Joseph Smith had. We don't have papyrus with the Book of Abraham on it (except Facsimile #1) and have never claimed to.
To learn more: Book of Abraham:Book of the Dead
My Response:
Currently, there are 10 fragments of the 11 papyri that Joseph Smith bought that became what we now know as the "Book of Abraham." And wouldn't you know it? The one that contained the actual text of the BOA is the one that no one can find. Gee, imagine that!
As I mentioned in my last Answer–stay focused. Again, in this response, FAIR is trying to take the focus off the main issue. That being, since the papyri that were recovered in NY's Metropolitan Museum of Art were indeed part of the set of papyri that Joseph Smith was duped into believing were writings of Abraham, "written by his own hand upon papyrus," and since, from the day Joseph found them, he purported that all of the papyri were the writings of the Jewish patriarch–then the fact that none of the papyri that survived the Chicago fire had anything to do with Abraham, and since the 10 remaining fragments are from the Egyptian "Book of Breathings" then I find it quite a remarkable coincidence that the only fragment that did NOT survive contained the actual text of the Book of Abraham.
Here's the timeline:
- July 1835: Michael Chandler and his travelling Egyptian exhibit rolls into Kirtland, OH. Chandler, upon hearing that Joseph Smith has translated ancient Egyptian (oops, sorry, I mean Reformed Egyptian) into English, sells Smith a set of papyri written entirely in Egyptian.
- November 1835: Smith completes his "translation" of the papyri, and declares that these are the writings of Abraham–that they contain the account of Abram's and Sarai's journey into Egypt (found in Genesis 12:10-20).
- 1844: Joseph Smith is killed in a Carthage, IL jail. The papyri are turned over to his mother, Lucy Mack Smith.
- 1856: Lucy Smith dies. Emma Hale Smith, Joseph Smith III, and Emma's second husband Lewis Bidamon, sell the papyri to Abel Combs. Two of the papyri were sent to be displayed in the St. louis (MO) Museum.
- 1863: The St. Louis Museum closes, and the papyri are sent to the Chicago Museum (later renamed Wood's Museum after its new owner Joseph Wood.
- 1871: The Great Chicago Fire destroys Wood's Museum, and the Egyptian papyri contained there. After this event, it was believed that the original Book of Abraham papyri would never be seen again.
- 1947: Ludlow Bell, curator of theNew York Metropolitan Museum of Art, obtains several Egyptian papyri from one edward Heusser, widower of Alice Combs Weaver Heusser, daughter of Abel Combs' housekeeper.
- 1966: Aziz Suryal Atiya discovers Facsimile #1 in the Egyptian Collection at the Met.
- 1967: LDS apologist Hugh Nibley–a man with NO training in Egyptian linguistics, takes a crash course under John Wilson and Klaus Baer in an attempt to learn enough to do some translating.
- 1968: The LDS publication Improvement Era publishes an article containing color reproductions of a fragment that had been in the LDS archives since 1908.
- 1968: Egyptian linguist Klaus Baer confirms that the Egyptian papyri that Michael Chandler sold to Joseph Smith were in fact part of an Egyptian embalming manual. They were not written by Abraham.
In fact, even as far back as 1856, an Egyptologist at the Louvre noted that there were several lacunae (missing portions) in the papyri, and that the attempts by Joseph Smith to fill them in were simply fueled by Smith's imagination, and were nothing more than guesses.
So, where does that bring us? It brings us to the argument that FAIR is making, that even though we do not have the original text of the Book of Abraham (just like we don't have the gold plates of the Book of Mormon, reformed Egyptian has neveer been heard, etc), we should believe the BOA is a sacred text, as much from God as the Bible–even though it was nothing more than a page in an Egyptian–a PAGAN Egyptian–funerary manual.
Well, just how good of an Egyptian linguist was our good "prophet?" Let's talk to the experts (via Wikipedia):
Egyptologist Dr. James H. Breasted, of the University of Chicago noted:
Granted, these men are more than likely humanistic scientists. And, granted, they didn't have a peep stone so they could stick the papyrus in a hat and read what it said. But they are experts at deciphering hieroglyphics and interpreting Egyptian characters. And, once again, we have another reason why one should not believe the Book of Abraham to be true.
For a more in-depth discussion of this "Book of Abraham," the Institute for Religious Research has put together the following video, "The Lost Book of Abraham." It's about an hour long, but if you've got time, and you're interested, it's worth it.

Bank stays mum on mysterious Mr Edge
Page Tools
The TDM office in Arncliffe ... but where's Mr Edge and the money?
What's the Commonwealth Bank saying today about the mysterious "Mr Edge" who cost it $7 million on a loan gone wrong?
Absolutely nothing.
And the owners of a company at the centre of the scandal have gone "on holidays".
The bank gave the mystery man the $7 million dollar loan to buy a company called TDM Australia, which the bank was assured had almost $8.5 million owed to it.
Mr Edge and TDM Australia's owner Mohamed Saleh have both disappeared.
The bank had asked the NSW Supreme Court to freeze the bank account of the company's accountant, Zia Ul-Islam Qureshi, who was paid $125,000 on June 7 by Mr Saleh.
But Justice Richard White refused the request and said the bank had only itself to blame for not being able to access the $45,000 remaining in his account.
The Commonwealth Bank told the Herald yesterday it had appointed a receiver and launched an internal investigation into the affair.
But it refused to shed any more light on the matter today.
"We won't be saying any more than we did yesterday to the Herald," a spokeswoman said.
Meanwhile, the owners of the company Mr Edge said he wanted to buy, TDM Australia, have taken an extended vacation.
"Unfortunately, we are on holidays at the moment. We will return on the 20th of June, 2005," says a recorded message left on the Arncliffe-based company's answering machine.
Mr Qureshi was seeing clients today and was unable to speak to smh.com.au, his secretary said.

Happy Easter Dr.McGrath! #HeisRisen
I completely disagree with both the spirit and letter of this quote. I would not like to be stuck in the Paleolithic, but live in a time when most of the world's mysteries are no longer mysterious.
I wonder why you understood the quote as I did. There is nothing backwards-looking in it. It is about appreciating the fact that we inhabit a cosmos that continues to surprise us, not about closing one's mind to understanding it. And as to whether most mysteries are no longer mysterious, past assertions to that effect have regularly seemed premature in light of new discoveries.
I consider surprise and not having to close one's mind to be a necessary evil, like government. I, for one, am glad that the mysteries of flight, infectious disease, and electromagnetic radiation are less mysterious than they used to be.
Indeed. I don't see anything in the quote that is contrary to that sentiment. But would you really be happy if there were nothing left to discover, no new realms to explore, no new things to learn?
And I would prefer to live in a world where my mind was not too small to strive mightily to understand it.
Don't you? Did you understand Fosdick to be saying otherwise?

Heppner sings sweetly but carefully
Published 10:00 pm, Thursday, May 2, 2002
Ben Heppner's recital Wednesday night at Benaroya Hall represented vocalism at once sweet and sophisticated, suave and straightforward. There were many levels of nuance and subtlety throughout the evening. Sentiment was never absent, sentimentality almost never present. His tenor was pure and limpid and often astonishingly beautiful.
When one thinks of the Canadian tenor in the days of his Seattle Opera debut in "Die Meistersinger," in 1989, and the next decade, none of this would come as a surprise. But then three months ago he canceled his Seattle recital debut at Benaroya because of vocal problems that had been plaguing him for some months.
The publicity surrounding his walking out of a recital in Toronto and canceling the rest of his North American tour could not have been worse.
Music critic William Littler's account of Heppner's vocal disaster and conclusion -- "he is in vocal trouble" -- made the circuit.
There was immense speculation, not surprisingly because Heppner enjoys a major career. He is the most important dramatic tenor of the day, with prestigious engagements on three continents. Leaving a concert midstream is not unprecedented. Placido Domingo, for instance, walked out of his farewell performance in Verdi's "Otello" at La Scala in Milan in December. However, within minutes conductor Riccardo Muti announced to the stunned audience that Domingo would return to the stage shortly.
Inevitably the concern about the considerably younger Heppner was that he had sung too many big roles, such as "Tristan," in too short a time. He made his stage debut in the part at Seattle Opera in 1998, his last appearance with the company, and has sung the role many times. Last year his voice began to break repeatedly.
For his first appearance on the Seattle Symphony Orchestra Distinguished Artist Series, Heppner changed his program twice, going from Britten, Sibelius and Tchaikovsky to Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, Britten and a set of French opera arias, eventually settling on Schumann, Duparc and Tosti Wednesday night.
The tenor took no chances. His formal program was only about an hour. He sang few fortissimos and a handful of fortes. High notes were at a strict minimum, and there were few technical challenges. The musical ones were substantial. Good sense dictated those terms. And even at that, there were some tiny, tiny breaks in the voice, an indication he is still not wholly recovered.
Those looking for fireworks, the dramatic moments, the large gestures would have been disappointed. But those looking for music that was reflective, thoughtful, evocative, and handsomely sung, would have been very happy indeed.
Schumann's "Liederkreis" cycle was the first half of the concert. Heppner's reading was poetic and moving, catching the import of each of the 12 songs. The set of five songs of Henri Duparc and three of Francesco Paolo Tosti were no less.
John Hess, who teaches at the University of Western Ontario, was the superb and empathetic pianist.

I do not own one
And I did not mix up ammo (I used what they had at the range, a stipulation of shooting there..really sucks but what are you gonna do)
but I must say I really liked the baby eagle. Good weight, the trigger pull wasn't bad at all, and though the accuracy of this particular one was off (had to always aim off center to hit center, even at like 5 feet..which I KNOW I can hit because I did it with the PX4 with no problem) it seemed to be a fine gun.
I'm gonna chalk up accuracy issues to a cruddy maintained range weapon.

With the first quarter ending this month, companies such as Nike and Texas Instruments have issued surprisingly strong earnings outlooks. But with job creation stagnant and some analysts believing stocks are overpriced, investors feared that the market's year-long rally might have ended.
"When good news doesn't move the market higher, we're obviously in a corrective phase," said Matt Kelmon, portfolio manager of the Kelmoore Strategy Funds. "The glass is half-empty right now, but I do believe that will switch back to half-full again when earnings go out in April."
The Nasdaq lost 13.62, or 0.7%, to 1995.16, after falling 38.85 Monday. The Nasdaq, home to many of the technology stocks that fueled last year's rally, closed below its low for the year of 2003.37 and posted its lowest close since Dec. 26.
The Dow lost 72.52, or 0.7%, to 10,456.96, adding to Monday's loss of 66.07. The Dow was off 280.74 from its 2004 high, set on Feb. 11, and fell below its 2003 closing level of 10,453.92 in afternoon trading before a slight session-ending rally. It was the Dow's lowest close since Jan. 13.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 6.63, or 0.6%, to 1140.58, having fallen 9.66 on Monday.
After peaking three weeks ago, stocks have fallen amid investors' growing discomfort with the economy and a sense that businesses aren't creating enough jobs to give the recovery much momentum going forward. Last Friday's disappointing jobs report from the government only added to Wall Street's frustration.
But many analysts weren't surprised by the market's recent downturn, believing stocks were due for a correction after their runup over the past year.
Hugh Johnson, chief investment officer at First Albany, said investors' moves — getting out of the once high-flying technology sector and into health care and consumer staples — are similar to those that occurred when the bear market began.
"Normally, in the second year of a bull market things slow down, but this is more than that," Johnson said. "This is not going to turn out to be a barn-burner of a year as was widely expected. I'm in the bullish camp, but I must admit, my bullishness is really being tested."
Texas Instruments said its quarterly profits would come in at the high end of previous forecasts. Shares fell 34 cents to $30.26.
Athletic wear maker Nike jumped $2.17 to $76.66 after stating it would easily beat Wall Street estimates for the current quarter.
There was also another merger in the financial sector. Sovereign Bancorp lost 29 cents to $21.75 after it announced it would acquire Waypoint Financial for $980 million. Waypoint gained $2.72 to $27.48.
Grocery store chains Albertson's and Kroger reported faltering earnings due to the four-and-a-half-month grocery store worker strike in California, which ended last month. Albertson's, down 21 cents at $23.91, saw profits fall 40% for the quarter, while Kroger lost $337.4 million for the quarter and fell 35 cents to $18.56.
Sun Microsystems shed 33 cents to $4.33 after it was downgraded to a "neutral" rating by Banc of America Securities due to concerns over the long-term stability of the company's Unix business. The struggling computer and software maker had its debt rating cut to junk status Friday.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by a 9-to-5 ratio on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 1.48 billion shares, compared to 1.26 billion on Monday.
The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies was down 6.56, or 1.1%, at 585.95.
Overseas, Japan's Nikkei stock average gained 0.3%. In Europe, Britain's FTSE 100 fell 0.3% for the session, France's CAC-40 closed down 1.2% and Germany's DAX index lost 1.4%.

When the peel of an orange is squeezed, yeast gets into the juice. And then the yeast in the juice converts a very small percentage of the natural sugars into carbon dioxide and alcohol during fermentation. So lighten up on that champagne, will ya?
14. You Can Get Addicted To Vanilla
Vanillic acid is quite similar to epinephrine and norepinephrine (which we know as adrenaline and noradrenaline), and they cause a reaction in the brain that can be quite addictive.
15. It Takes About 250 Licks To Get To The Center Of A Tootsie Pop
Oh please, it's not like you were going to ever try to figure it out yourself.

I received my email notification that my mika pocket holster for my J-frame is on it's way somewhere around 2 a.m. this morning. So, that started my day off on a good note. Can't wait to get it and see how the J-frame works out for me in that rig.
Also, I've been migrating my galco kingtuk farther around toward the 1:00 position lately, so I started looking into various AIWB holsters to try out that would be better suited for that type of carry. I want to carry my p220 in said position instead of one of my glocks as I do think being able to ride the hammer into the holster is a plus for that particular carry position. However, finding an AIWB holster for a p220 actually turned out to be a bit of a challenge. So, I was researching different holster makers' work and I kept reading good things about R Grizzle Leather. I went to their website, and didn't actually see a holster designed for AIWB, so I emailed the Grizzles about perhaps making me a custom holster for the application. We shot several emails back and forth, and I just now sent payment for a holster based off of his R-N-R design, but adjusted / adapted for AIWB carry. It will be a horsehide holster, with black stitching, which I think will have a nice clean look, and it is going to be adjusted for 0 cant to better suit the AIWB location. I'm really excited to see how it turns out!
According to his website, he's on orders from the end of June right now, so I don't anticipate that I'll see my holster until the later part of October. The anticipation is going to drive me nuts! But, from what I gather it will be worth the wait.
Anyhow, I don't know that this thread has much informational benefit to anyone, but I'm sure most of you have dealt with holster anticipation, so you all can be my support group while I wait my turn in line.

About Me
My name is Heather Marzo I'm an aspiring fashion model. I'm interested in shooting with talented photographers that I feel will add to my book. I will not do nude work some implied might be ok if it is tasteful. I'm not just a girl that wants pretty pictures this is what I wanna do with my life. I'm interested in setting up high fashion, editorial and beauty shoots with some good talent. I will do TFP work but I do ask for a makeup artist to be present as I am not a professional makeup artist myself. I do have a makeup artist that might be able to attend depending on scheduling but only for shoots in Southern California. Speaking of which I live in the San Francisco Bay Area but I travel to LA on a regular basis. Looking forward to hearing from talented people,
Update: I'm now Blonde

It's been awhile since we've seen a straightforward romantic comedy, but it appears that Some Kind Of Beautiful (known in the UK as How To Make Love To An Englishman) is aiming squarely for the center of the genre. Pierce Brosnan stars as a Trinity College poetry professor and profligate bachelor who gives up his promiscuous lifestyle after his much younger girlfriend (Jessica Alba) becomes pregnant.
Dear One and All,
Happy 2015! I hope you are happy, in good health, and ready to tackle whatever comes your way.
I am looking forward to the release of four films this year: No Escape, The Moon and The Sun, Survivor, and How To Make Love Like An Englishman! Plus my production company, Irish DreamTime, along with Beau St. Clair, launched The November Man series last year and we are currently busy developing the second installment.

A Northland cheese company is hoping to continue its success at being among New Zealand's best at this year's Cuisine CheeseFest.
The annual event is New Zealand's largest cheese event, and one that Mahoe Farmhouse Cheese is familiar with experiencing success at. Last year the Oromahoe cheesemaker took out two major awards.
The Rosevear family's cheese factory took out the Cuisine Champion Artisan Award for smaller producers with its Very Old Edam while Jacob Rosevear picked up the top award as champion cheesemaker.
"Obviously, we couldn't hope for much more than to do as well as last year, but winning a few gold medals would be great," Jacob Rosevear, son of Mahoe Cheese founders Bob and Anna Rosevear, said.
His brother Jesse is also an avid cheesemaker, and says being around cheese their whole life taught the siblings what made a good cheese, and they had benefited enormously from their parents' knowledge.
At this year's competition, Jacob says they'll be entering "their usual Dutch category" with an assortment of gouda and edam varieties, including their prizewinning Very Old Edam.
They'll also be entering the Original New Zealand Cheese category with their new Mahoe Cardoon and the Blue Cheese category with their famous Mahoe Blue.
They've come a long way since their humble beginnings at the Rosevear family farm, where 27 years ago their first cheesery was built next to the milking shed at the farm.
Since then the company has vastly grown in both size and reputation.
The family believe much of that success comes down to their use of quality ingredients.
They only use certified organic milk, which for the past two years has been sourced from a Whangarei farm. All their products are seasonal, totally genetically modified organism free and they only use vegetarian rennet.
Mahoe cheese is sold all around New Zealand.
Cuisine CheeseFest will be held in the Langham Auckland's Great Room on February 27.
Grinning Gecko Cheese Co, from Whangarei, is the only other Northland cheesemaker entered in the awards.

Programmers love its flexibility and speed; designers love its accessibility and convenience. When it comes to creating web sites, the PHP scripting language is truly a red-hot property. In fact, PHP is currently used on more than 19 million web sites, surpassing Microsoft's ASP .NET technology in popularity. Not surprisingly, this surge in usage has resulted in a number of PHP books hitting the market. Only one, though, takes the language beyond traditional Web programming and into mapping, graphing, multimedia, and beyond: PHP Hacks.
In PHP Hacks, author Jack Herrington wrings out his 20 years of code generation experience to deliver hands-on tools ranging from basic PHP and PEAR installation and scripting to advanced multimedia and database optimizing tricks.
On the practical side of things, PHP Hacks helps you develop more robust PHP applications by explaining how to improve your database design, automate application testing, and employ design patterns in your PHP scripts and classes. In the category of "cool," Herrington explains how to upgrade your Web interface through the creation of tabs, stickies, popups, and calendars. He even examines how to leverage maps and graphics in PHP. There's also a bounty of image and application hacks, including those that show you how to:
Whether you're a newcomer or an expert, you'll find great value in PHP Hacks, the only PHP guide that offers something useful and fun for everyone.
Jack Herrington is an engineer, author and presenter who lives and works in the Bay Area. His mission is to expose his fellow engineers to new technologies. That covers a broad spectrum, from demonstrating programs that write other programs in the book Code Generation in Action. Providing techniques for building customer centered web sites in PHP Hacks. All the way writing a how-to on audio blogging called Podcasting Hacks. All of which make great holiday gifts and are available online here, and at your local bookstore. Jack also writes articles for O'Reilly, DevX and IBM Developerworks. Jack lives with his wife, daughter and two adopted dogs. When he is not writing software, books or articles you can find him on his bike, running or in the pool training for triathlons. You can keep up with Jack's work and his writing at http://jackherrington.com.

The image on the cover of PHP Hacks is a propeller beanie. The hat's name is thought to come from the early 20th-century slang term "bean," meaning "head," and it was first worn by blue-collar laborers during that time, presumably to keep their hair out of their eyes as they worked. Later, wearing beanies became a fad for young boys, and the propeller beanie is now a popular symbol of science fiction fans in comic art. This association is thought to have originated in 1948 when Ray Nelson, who would later become a science fiction author and cartoonist, supposedly suggested that the members of his science fiction club wear these hats to a science fiction convention so that they would stand out. Since Ray was a teenager in high school at the time, his father would not allow him to attend the convention, but at least one of his fellow club members, George Young, is thought to have worn his beanie to the convention. While the beanie has become an icon of geekdom, it eventually evolved into the more sporty baseball cap.

There is no example for smsclient. hack
By mamay

About Me Developer
Best Uses
Comments about oreilly PHP Hacks:
1.there's no text file for sms hack in the examples they offer on the site.2.the code is almost unexplained by the authors and full of mistakes. 3. some hacks are useless, for example, obscurejs, only laughing is caused by that hack.4.I would say Chinese quality this book has.5.the only value are some ideas but not the code. I wouldn"t publish this book in such a bad quality state.it seems that the authors are very avaricious of their ideas and because of low finance benefit they could receive from it they write it in such a low quality.Sorry for my English.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Big bug in cal2.php script
By Anonymous
from Undisclosed
I really loved this book as I am a php beginner. I'm also glad because I could debug a file :If you get the scripts at http://examples.oreilly.com/phphks/Look for cal2.php in cal directory, it was a review made by Alexander Naumann.The calendar script works well except in one case :when the first day of month is a sunday !To debug, find : # numeric weekday of the first day in # the current monthz $day = jddayofweek( $jd ) - 1;and just add : if ($day<0){$day=6;}Finally your file will look this way : # numeric weekday of the first day in # the current monthz $day = jddayofweek( $jd ) - 1; if ($day<0){$day=6;}Enjoy this great calendar !

Great book
I really enjoyed this book, it gave great, useful examples that every PHP-based website can use.But my favorite part was that he devoted an entire chapter to Design Patterns and how they are applied to PHP programming.As an experienced programmer, but novice PHP user I really liked the approach and it got me up and running fast.

Very nice!
By acachinero
As a fan of the Hacks series, and as a fairly unexperienced PHP user, this book picked me up from the beginnings of PHP and dropped me off at the cutting edge, giving me the knowledge I yearned with a fun book through entertaining and often useful examples.
Stimulating -
By Jetburg
I have found much that is useful - it has opened my eyes to new possibilities.Sadly, the source code for Hack #88 is not included in the handy archive.I recreated it from a file on the Oreilly German site, and compared it to the code in the book. There appears to be a problem with the function parseXML () - it dies and displays the error "could not open XML input"
Best PHP reference I have used, bar none.
By Abe Usher
Excellent PHP resourceI've read at least a dozen books on web development with PHP. This book is the best, by far!The good: Excellent coverage of elegant PHP for dealing with databases and XML Outstanding explanation of automated code generation (a must for professional PHP developers) Description (and code implementation) of how to use design patterns with PHP. Former J2EE guys will love this. High quality prose and clear descriptions. I did not find any grammatical or spelling errors. Light sense of humor (without the unnecessary banter that one finds in most "... for Dummies" books)The bad: Nothing.As a software developer of 10 years, I give this book my highest recommendation.

The House of the Seven Gables HTML version
6. Maule's Well
AFTER an early tea, the little country-girl strayed into the garden. The enclosure had
formerly been very extensive, but was now contracted within small compass, and
hemmed about, partly by high wooden fences, and partly by the outbuildings of houses
that stood on another street. In its centre was a grass-plat, surrounding a ruinous little
structure, which showed just enough of its original design to indicate that it had once
been a summer-house. A hop-vine, springing from last year's root, was beginning to
clamber over it, but would be long in covering the roof with its green mantle. Three of
the seven gables either fronted or looked sideways, with a dark solemnity of aspect, down
into the garden.
The black, rich soil had fed itself with the decay of a long period of time; such as fallen
leaves, the petals of flowers, and the stalks and seed--vessels of vagrant and lawless
plants, more useful after their death than ever while flaunting in the sun. The evil of these
departed years would naturally have sprung up again, in such rank weeds (symbolic of
the transmitted vices of society) as are always prone to root themselves about human
dwellings. Phoebe Saw, however, that their growth must have been checked by a degree
of careful labor, bestowed daily and systematically on the garden. The white double rose-
bush had evidently been propped up anew against the house since the commencement of
the season; and a pear-tree and three damson-trees, which, except a row of currant-
bushes, constituted the only varieties of fruit, bore marks of the recent amputation of
several superfluous or defective limbs. There were also a few species of antique and
hereditary flowers, in no very flourishing condition, but scrupulously weeded; as if some
person, either out of love or curiosity, had been anxious to bring them to such perfection
as they were capable of attaining. The remainder of the garden presented a well-selected
assortment of esculent vegetables, in a praiseworthy state of advancement. Summer
squashes almost in their golden blossom; cucumbers, now evincing a tendency to spread
away from the main stock, and ramble far and wide; two or three rows of string-beans
and as many more that were about to festoon themselves on poles; tomatoes, occupying a
site so sheltered and sunny that the plants were already gigantic, and promised an early
and abundant harvest.
Phoebe wondered whose care and toil it could have been that had planted these
vegetables, and kept the soil so clean and orderly. Not surely her cousin Hepzibah's, who
had no taste nor spirits for the lady-like employment of cultivating flowers, and--with her
recluse habits, and tendency to shelter herself within the dismal shadow of the house--
would hardly have come forth under the speck of open sky to weed and hoe among the
fraternity of beans and squashes.
It being her first day of complete estrangement from rural objects, Phoebe found an
unexpected charm in this little nook of grass, and foliage, and aristocratic flowers, and
plebeian vegetables. The eye of Heaven seemed to look down into it pleasantly, and with

Samuel L. Jackson is an informed voter
Samuel L. Jackson couldn't care less about President Obama's message or policy. He only voted for him because he's black. Hey, I used to base my vote for Student Council President on whoever had the tastiest cookies, so that sounds very logical to me. Jackson told Ebony magazine (via TMZ):
"I voted for Barack because he was black. 'Cuz that's why other folks vote for other people — because they look like them … That's American politics, pure and simple. [Obama's] message didn't mean [bleep] to me.
Jackson then went on to drop the N-word several times when discussing Obama, telling the mag, "When it comes down to it, they wouldn't have elected a [bleep]. Because, what's a [bleep]? A [bleep] is scary. Obama ain't scary at all. [Bleeps] don't have beers at the White House. [Bleeps] don't let some white dude, while you in the middle of a speech, call [him] a liar. A [bleep] would have stopped the meeting right there and said, 'Who the [bleep] said that?' I hope Obama gets scary in the next four years, 'cuz he ain't gotta worry about getting re-elected."
Guys, I know what you're thinking, but let's put the pitchforks aside for a minute. You have to remember that Sam Jackson is a recovering crackhead, so you're better off not looking for deep thoughts from this dummy. I know, I know, any white person who dared say something so stupid would be vilified, tarred, and feathered, but we need to remember that Sam Jackson is black. Taking offense to what a racist Hollywood actor says is in fact a racist action. Of course, I can get away with it because I donate to the United Negro College Fund. Or at least I would if I had money. I had cereal for dinner last night. Dinner.

It's always a striking phenomenon for me that the ones who have the worst grammar and spelling, the ones with the most poorly-constructed "sentences," and the ones with the most bizarre syntax are the ultra-religious. I won't say that all who self-identify as atheist are capable of constructing easy-to-read sentences, nor that the spelling will always be correct, or that their logic will flow as I was taught it should. But the worst offenders on these points almost always self-identify as evangelicals.
There is a John Stuart Mill quote that comes to mind…
"Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are conservative."
Insert "gullibles" or simply "religious folks" for "conservative," and it still seems to work.
Replace 'conservative' with "fear filled reactionary" and you are even closer! They call themselves conservatives – they aren't even close.
Far, FAR more people than you realize are actually as dumb as a sack of rocks. When you try to get them to think they give you the sort of puzzled look a dog gives you when you explain the workings of a can opener. And the dog has far more interest in the workings of the can opener than most people have in anything of value.
As a college lecturer, I can confirm this. I will also say that the fear-filled reactionaries are destroying good public school systems, and this GIGO is the result.
It´s a pity, but you seem to be right.
Being that the majority of people in the U.S. claim to be religious (around 80-percent?), it's not surprising that the majority of poorly-educated people also claim to be religious. If there's way more religious people than there are atheists, of course there's going to be way more incomprehensible material from religious people than from atheists. I don't see why it's surprising. Also, since self-proclaimed evangelicals feel eternally responsible for spreading their beliefs, it's not surprising that the uneducated zealot is strongly compelled to speak, and the uneducated atheist is more likely to be content with not sharing his views. I don't think it's striking at all.
Awesome post! You've a fantastic blog, absolutely the finest I've read so far. I will be looking forward to your next entry. Thanks again.
Why do all of you jump to the conclusion that she is stupid and illiterate. It's a vary easy to observe she is clearly typing in tongues….. I'm just kidding.
I wonder if the person who wrote that has psychiatric issues. I don't mean that as a put-down in the slightest. It just reminds me of a term I learned in psychology, the "word salad." Just saying it's possible.
I agree with most of the replies. In reply to Michelle, there is a thin line between zealous religious people and insanity. A very thin line. The Colorado mass murderer shooter, James Holmes, had a religious upbringing, for example. Some people have been raised (brainwashed) to say it's true you can talk to God. It's true that God can talk to you. Then the psychotic voices in their heads (read Julian Jayne's "The Origins of Consciousnesss in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind") might tell them to kill for any particular reason.
I found an interesting URL here http://preview.tinyurl.com/cudok7n (You will have to do a click on another URL after this link) that shows a big link between mass murderers and religion. One exception is Jared Loughner who shot Congresswoman Giffords and killed six or seven people in Tucson a year or two ago.
The post is 99% likely from a spammer.
Please don't jump to conclusions merely because they are comfortable.
The textual equivalent to speaking in tongues?
Re Colorado mass killer…..
Religious upbringing maybe – but at the time , wasn't he actually wearing an "Evolution Rules" T shirt? !!!

New York Judge to Hear Arguments on Guantanamo Detainee
New York, NY —
A federal judge in New York will hear arguments Monday to decide if a Guantanamo Bay detainee's rights were violated when he was held for five years without charges. Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, the first Guantanamo Bay prisoner to be prosecuted in a civilian U.S. court, says charges against him should be dismissed because he was not given a speedy trial. He is charged in the August 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa. They killed 224 people, including a dozen Americans. His lawyers say he was arrested in Pakistan on July 24, 2004 and held in secret camps where he was questioned until September 2006, when he was moved to Guantanamo. Prosecutors say the delay in bringing him to trial was necessary to save lives.

Another option are triggers from here.
Geissele Automatics, LLC. - Hi-Speed National Match Trigger
A few weeks ago at the local funshow i tried out one of the RRA match triggers,was not impressed in the least.LOP was fine,but it felt gritty,almost like it was full of sand.
Hopefully that one is not representative of what RRA is putting out now.
Ended up passing on the RRA and am now looking for a couple of the Geiselle' to finish up my varmint builds.
For around $40.00 Bill Springfield will rework a stock trigger to near perfection,a good alternative for a budget build.

Date of Stay: October, 2012
We had a beautiful lake front location with a spacious lot. Bathrooms and showers are clean, but old. The women's shower had nowhere to put your belongings while showering, so my clothes got wet. The bathroom and shower buildings are a haul from the lake front campsites. From where we were camped (#23) you can't walk to the bathrooms, it's too far. The host even told us it's too far. Other than that, it was gorgeous and we will be back.
Date of Stay: October, 2012
A very cute and cozy RV park. The bathrooms were beautiful! They looked freshly painted with new countertops and clean showers. They may be the nicest bathrooms I've seen at an RV park. The sites are close together, but it was quiet. I would go there again. You are in the middle of town, within walking distance of food. However, the RV park is wooded with a small amount of privacy from the town.

"I love these cards they are exactly what I was looking for and the process was easy with wonderful customer service and prompt processing and shipping!"
"The cards i ordered are absolutely perfect, i could never have asked for anything more. these cards blew my mind because i was not expecting such high quality, i will forever be a customer, Thank you so much for such prompt service and quick delivery. did i mention delivery was 1 week earlier than expected, and from the date i ordered to delivery it was 5 days total"
"My husband and I ordered these cards after we got married as "personal cards" vs. business cards. They were handy to give to pet sitters, neighbors, family, church folks...anyone we meet who we want to easily provide with our contact info. Fast forward 4 years and we've moved so we ordered new ones in the exact same design but with an updated photo and address. Every we hand these to someone they say "Wow, why didn't I ever think to have something like this done up?". I always point them toward Tiny Prints."
"I was concerned that the typeface might be a bit small, but it all looks great. Very professional, and a bit swish also. I could not be happier."
"I really love the card. I like how easy it was to personalize with the fonts, sizes and spacing. Being able to put a logo on the back was great too. Only thing I wish they had had more front border color options."

has anyone used auricaps and BG on their aleph 1.7?
I'm thinking of auricap 30uF (instead of 3x 10uf as the 30uF is much cheaper).
of course the BG will be much cheaper than the auricap.
thank you very much :)
And just about any industrial 30uF PP film cap will be cheaper than all of the above....and just as good as the best of them.
Magura :)
well I cringe at the thought of industrial grade caps in the signal path. :P
anyway, I respectfully request to please keep things in topic :)
well- I didn't tried A1.7
Auricaps ,too
but I tried BGs.....once ;)
please include multicap metallized polypro
thank you.
on my layout for the aleph p 1.7 i have 1 30uF Auricap Capacitor, because accordingly with the resarche that i have made so far, these brand is one of the utmost neutral on the market.
Magura, i don't agree with you about the chepest caps sounding as good as the best aurricap or jensen or....whatever.
The caps...expecially dc blocking cap on the signal path are fundamental for the sake of the sound.
....on the other hand, my wallet had no problem telling the difference
Magura :)
some motor runs are good though. I've use ASC MRs on the output of my tubed headphone amp.
But general statements such as "industrial caps will be as good as auricaps" might be hard to prove though.
how many industrial caps do I need to buy for testing?
It'll probably be safer (cheaper in the long run compared to testing different brands) to buy a good cap and be done with it :)
anyway, I respectfully request to keep things in topic. if you haven't used Auricaps, BG-N 47uF or Multicap metallized polypro (cheaper than auricap by almost half!), please stay out :)
my aleph 1.7 is running with bg-n caps. I´ve tried Mundorf mcap-zn before and wima mkp4, which are both polypropylene caps.The first with tin-foil and PP-foil, the second with metalized pp-foil. I didn´t try auri till now.
I prefered the bg´s because i don´t like the audible hardness and pronounciation of the high frequencies, i´ve experienced with every pp capacitor i have tried. It´s like the high frequencies are always the first part of the sound to hear, a bit faster than the rest.
For me the bg´s sound nicer with no unevenness in the tonality. Like a small jensen for poor people;)
Of cause it´s just my own personal experience and you might think different.:)

Committing to a cause shows a level of dedication and is a wanton a personality trait as someone could wish for. Proving that you can stick at something for a long period of time might well look good on a CV but it's the building of a legacy that matters more to some people. I guess you could draw a tenuous comparison with one of hip hop music's main mantras of 'keeping it real' here (if you are a fan of taking the basic idea of one guy being focused enough to start and keep a record label running for ten years and running away with it). It takes strength of character to keep plugging away at your own thing with the singular goal of taking one idea as far as possible whilst staying focused on the reasons why you started it in the first place. And for that reason, we spoke to Gordon Gieseking, the brains behind the Project Mooncircle label, an imprint that celebrates its decade anniversary on the 16th March with a limited edition four piece vinyl boxset.
"I've been interested in music from my earliest childhood", Gieseking tells us from his Berlin base; "eventually it became more than just a passion to me. At first, the label was envisaged as a compilation project only, but in 2004 I found a perfect partner in Thomas Ulrich and his mail-order site, hhv.de. Other helping hands, like Jinna Morocha from Moscow or Laurent Fintoni, have also joined the label since then…"
With a strong desire to release projects that fuse organic instrumentation and electronic processes Project Mooncicle (PMC) as a label has found internet favour since 2009, releasing work from artists like 1000Names, Robot Koch, fLako, Pavel Dovgal and Rumpistol, but its discography harbours a lot of different styles. Rapper John Robinson (aka Lil Sci) is a prominent fixture throughout working on projects with early Jehst collaborator Lewis Parker, the inimitable MF DOOM or Robot Kock (as Robot Robinson) but another that becomes apparent when you look at it, is that there's music from a positive myriad of sources there. That probably goes some way to explain the sister imprints Project Squared and Finest Ego – the former is focused closely of the dubstep and techno intersection releasing work by Kowton, Asusu, Furesshu and AnD whilst Finest Ego has focused itself on presenting new production talent through a series of geographically restricted compilations (like this one we wrote about back in July).
"Jahbitat's Harpy Lights The Canopy was one of the greatest albums on our label in my opinion," Gieseking embellishes. "It was released in 2004, but the sound is still fresh now, even after 8 years… We're still into deep arrangements and I think we'll always want to continue our love of the organic grooves of people like Long Arm or 40 Winks. Nowadays nearly all genres are merging together more and more and that fits perfectly into our way with music."
"I'm not 100% into every release on PMC but I think that to run a good label, it's not necessary to like all the tracks on each and every record. What's more, it's also good to be open towards old productions today. When we released the debut album Death Star Droid by Robot Koch in 2009 I wasn't so into it, but one year later I was a huge fan of his music. I'm a human and everything needs time as a lot of artists are too far away into their own music… Nobody can be on point every time, so that's why I trust a lot unknown artists if I feel they're special!"
PMC's 10th Anniversary compilation clocks in at 46 tracks long; and every single track on it is exclusive. At first it is kind of overwhelming just looking at the tracklist in your music player of choice, but when you consider the love and attention that'll be going into the 8 sided vinyl version and you start to digest the quality of the music on offer it, starts to make sense more as a detailed celebration of what they've managed to house and achieve over the last 10 years.
"We're a physical label and every release is a like a dream which comes true…" Gieseking romanticises a little. "The box set is something special for sure but we're really happy to have such a fanbase with so much love to the vinyl format. Every song [on the boxset] is exclusive and I need to say thanks to all our friends and artists for that."
To try and list the highlights or pieces of music that make you alt-tab from whatever browser, program or document your looking at and check who it's by, would be something of a token gesture with a tracklist that long. Even if each track isn't an instant classic, there's a depth to these selections that'll provide a welcome turn in amongst the run of every 4 or 5 songs. Especially considering that the project includes unreleased music from Jehst, DZA, 1000Names, EAN, Om Unit, Sweatson Klank, Mike Gao, Kelpe and a whole host of other producers who'll probably be relevant considering that your reading this post in the context of this site.
"I think the compilation will show everybody the concept and philosophy of our label and we're really proud of the result," Gieseking concludes in his thoughtfully succinct manner. "It's a trip between old and present times in music."
We've also been commissioned to give you a taste of the compilation directly by offering up London producer EAN's contribution to the compilation, 'Pictarus', for an exclusively free download…

Nov. 12, 2007
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - The UAB football team is preparing to defend its "Battle For The Bones" trophy when it travels to Memphis, Tenn. to play the Memphis Tigers Saturday at 2:30 p.m. CT. The Blazers will also be putting its seven-game win streak against the Tigers on the line.
UAB has not lost to Memphis since the 1999 season, and the Blazers have not lost in Memphis since the 1997 campaign.
"Memphis is coming into the game with a hot hand," said UAB head coach Neil Callaway. "They struggled early in the year, then they won a couple of big games.
"They do an outstanding job of throwing the football. They probably have the best receiving corps that we'll play all year. Defensively, they have improved the last couple of weeks. They have really played well the last two or three weeks."
Callaway and the Blazers fully understand the importance of the rivalry with Memphis and are looking to continue the win streak that teams before them have started.
"It means a lot," said Callaway. "It's a good rivalry that we have with Memphis. Logistically, with us being so close to each other, there are a lot of similarities with the two programs. I think it can grow into something bigger and better.
"I'm sure with Memphis being on a roll now, they have been preaching all week to their team that it has been seven years since Memphis has beaten UAB. I hope we can continue that trend."
UAB (2-8, 1-5 C-USA) is coming off a 45-31 loss to UCF this past Saturday, while Memphis (5-5, 4-2 C-USA) gained a 29-26 win over Southern Miss.
The Blazers and the Tigers will play at 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. The game will be televised regionally by CSS.
Radio coverage of the game can be heard on the Blazers' ISP Sports Network flagship station WUHT 107.7 FM. The broadcast can also be heard on affiliates WIQR 1410 AM in Montgomery, WTRB 98.3 FM in Talladega and WACT 1420 AM in Tuscaloosa.
On the loss to UCF last week:
"Coming into the game, we knew they had a very good running back in Kevin Smith. We knew we had to stop him to have a chance to win the football game. Not stop him, but slow him down. I don't think we did a very good job of that. I think it was a culmination of things. We had some missed assignments and a hard time getting lined up right. That really cost us. Overall, we did some nice things offensively. Our kicking game was sound. I think our guys played hard, we just have to eliminate mistakes. One thing I told them is that we need to put a complete game together. We play hard, but we continue to make too many mistakes."
On the upcoming game at Memphis:
"Memphis is coming into the game with a hot hand. They struggled early in the year, then they won a couple of big games. They do an outstanding job of throwing the football. They probably have the best receiving corps that we'll play all year. Defensively, they have improved the last couple of weeks. They have really played good the last two or three weeks."
On matching up better against a running team or passing team:
"Obviously we aren't matching up well against running teams. We've already proved that. Memphis does a nice job of running the football, but they are not a Southern Miss or Central Florida. Hopefully, we'll match up better against Memphis, but their receivers are good."
On UAB's seven-game win streak over Memphis:
"I'm sure with Memphis being on a roll now, they have been preaching all week to their team that it has been seven years since Memphis has beaten UAB. I hope we can continue that trend."
On needing to win a game:
"We need to win a game. We are not here to come close, we are here to win. Against two quality opponents, Mississippi State and Florida State, we were in the ballgame at halftime. But, we needed to finish and we didn't finish the other night. To our players' credit, they kept competing and fighting. They tried until the very end."
On still playing hard this season and not looking to next season:
"That hasn't been the case at all. The last couple of weeks, since we've been knocked out of a chance at playing in a bowl game, we've talked about playing for each other and this senior class. Anytime there's a change, it's tough on a senior class. I'm extremely happy and proud of the commitment that this group of seniors has made. They have bought into what we are trying to do and got on board with us. We are trying to play for each other, win for each other and win for this senior class. We want them to leave on a good note. It would be better to finish up 4-8 than 2-10. Finish up on a couple of wins and everybody will have a good taste in their mouth."
On the `Battle for the Bones' rivalry with Memphis:
"It means a lot. It's a good rivalry that we have with Memphis. Logistically, with us being so close to each other, there are a lot of similarities with the two programs. I think it can grow into something bigger and better."
Offensive Lineman Terence Edge
On understanding the rivalry between Memphis and UAB:
"I really don't know what I'm getting myself into. I don't know that much about Memphis, but I'm ready to play. I know that we haven't lost to them in a while and I want to continue that tradition."
On the pressure to win against Memphis:
"Right now, we're just focusing on us and making ourselves better because that's the only way we're going to win."
H-Back David Sigler
On Memphis getting a win over Southern Miss:
"It just shows you how good of a team Memphis is. Southern Miss is a good team, and for Memphis to go out and beat Southern Miss, it shows how good of a football team they are. That means that we have to be prepared for them."
On looking to finish the season on a positive note:
"I don't want this season to end. I just want to play football. We have two games left and I'm just going to try and make the best of it."
On playing better on the road:
"I do like playing in other stadiums. I guess it's the change in atmosphere. It gets me pumped up."
On the improvement in the offense last week versus UCF:
"We had a much better game against UCF, but we still didn't do enough to win. If we can continue to try and do the little things right, we can win."
Defensive Lineman Brandon Jeffries
On the importance of the game at Memphis:
"This game has been a pretty good rivalry for us. We lead the series. As a team and as seniors, we talked about how important this game is for us. We want to end the season on a good note."
On continuing the seven-game winning streak over Memphis:
"There's pressure to keep the streak alive. The last seven years, we've beaten Memphis and we don't want to be the team that breaks the streak."
On how the defense felt after last weekend's game versus UCF:
"As a defensive unit, the last game put a bad taste in everyone's mouth. The guy (Kevin Smith) rushed for over 300 yards and that's kind of an embarrassment. We took it as an insult and we are going to work hard this week at practice."
Cornerback Zach Britten
On what a win this week would mean to the team:
"A win would be lovely. What would make it so great is that we would continue the win streak and get another win, something we need right now for the team and the coaches, and for a confidence boost for the last game of the season against Marshall. The most important thing is getting a win and taking care of the win streak over Memphis."
On how much he plans to remind younger players about the importance of this game:
"They are going to hear that a lot this week, especially from me. The younger guys are going to get tired of me talking in practice. I'm usually not a big talker. I like to go out and perform and hopefully the other players will follow."
On getting the chance to defend against a passing team:
"Going into any game, playing the position I play, we like teams to throw the ball when we are making plays. It just gives us more opportunities to make plays on the ball."

While airport adminstrators have declared the airport a "gun-free zone," with airport GM Ben DeCosta telling reporters "My message is simple: Leave your firearms at home," at a news conference, gun rights supporters, including state Rep. Tim Bearden, who helped pass the law, quickly filed a lawsuit in federal court over the issue.
Atlanta officials said anyone carrying a gun at the airport could be arrested and charged with a misdemeanor.
An attorney for the gun rights backers who filed the lawsuit, argued the Atlanta airport qualifies as public transportation. There are also (naturally) restaurants in the terminal, which the lawyer said should be accessible to gun-carrying visitors under the new law.While gun rights advocates are obviously feeling really confident right now because of the Supreme Court's recent ruling, let's through all that aside and use some common sense.
Do people really think it's a good idea to allow guns in an airport? Does your desire for your perceived Second Amendment rights mean that you no longer have the ability to make sensible decisions?
On the other hand, I'm sure they'll be plenty who say that gun-carriers will deter terrorists. Well, I can at least chalk up Atlanta as another place I never want to visit, if that happens (not that I wanted to visit there anyway).
