The vehicles that Clarett traveled in at Ohio State have become more of an issue since Clarett charged earlier this month that Buckeyes coach Jim Tressel and his staff helped players get loaner cars and also arranged other improper benefits.
Speeding tickets issued to Clarett, 21, during his 18 months as an Ohio State student indicates he borrowed cars from hometown friends and relatives, The Dispatch reported. One of the tickets he received was for driving 98 mph.
On March 9, 2002, Columbus police stopped Clarett in an Eddie Bauer Ford Explorer. About two months later, the State Highway Patrol pulled him over on I-71 near Mansfield. Clarett again was driving the Explorer.
Clarett got the Explorer in fall 2001 when he traded an 8-year-old Mercury Cougar for the vehicle, which was owned by one of his football coaches at Warren G. Harding High School.
"He always would joke with me that he wanted that truck," said Robert L. Andrews, who now coaches at another Cleveland high school.
Andrews said the transaction was legitimate. He still is listed as the vehicle's owner, but it's registered to Clarett's mother, Michelle.
A woman who answered the phone at Michelle Clarett's home Friday morning said it was too late to be having conversations and hung up the phone.
On July 5, 2002, troopers clocked Clarett speeding on I-71 in Morrow County. He was driving a 1996 Chevrolet Monte Carlo that belonged to an uncle in Youngstown, according to The Dispatch.
Troopers in Trumbull County pulled him over about a year later in a 1998 Oldsmobile Bravada that he borrowed from the owner of a now-bankrupt Youngstown wine shop.
Within three weeks, Chardon police stopped him on a rural highway. He was driving a 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe that belonged to another uncle.
In December 2003, police in Cuyahoga County ticketed Clarett for speeding in a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo owned by a 20-year-old Youngstown neighborhood acquaintance.
Municipal court records obtained by The Dispatch do not explain why or how long Clarett was driving the cars or whether the owner of the vehicle was with him in two of the cases. The former wine-shop owner and the 20-year-old friend could not be reached for comment.
Friends and family members say Clarett has been working out at an undisclosed location with a personal trainer in preparation for the 2005 NFL draft. He has not spoken publicly in months.
Clarett's car-borrowing habits caught the attention of Ohio State officials as early as fall 2002.
"He borrowed lots of cars from friends. They checked out pretty well," Athletics Director Andy Geiger said.
Clarett said in April 2003 that a 2001 Monte Carlo he had taken for an overnight test drive was broken into and someone took more than $10,000 in clothing, CDs, cash and stereo equipment from the vehicle.
That led to Clarett pleading guilty to failure to aid a law enforcement officer, and an NCAA investigation that found that Clarett had an improper relationship with the car dealer who loaned him the Monte Carlo.
Jacob Chapa had loaned the car to Clarett for a test drive.
Chapa's dealership has since bought a car in July 2003 that once registered to Clarett's mother. In April, she bought a 2000 Lincoln Navigator from his dealership.
A message for Chapa was left Friday at his dealership.
Clarett also borrowed a car from a Marion dealership that provides free use of cars to three Ohio State athletics department staff members, including football coach Jim Tressel.
Ohio State officials have not been able to link Clarett to any questionable cars except for the one provided by Chapa, Geiger said.

Chapter 3 (part 3)
The day was slow to begin with. I saw Oli in my Spanish class looking like he wished he was somewhere cooler. I had to admit that the languages block was always too warm but a bitter wind was blowing through the school today and even I was a little chilly. He seemed to be sweating a little in his thin white shirt which gave him the appearance of someone with a fever.
Break came and went like the blue sky above as clouds covered the sun. Getting through math and English was hard as usual; letting on that you're average is hard when you've done the work at least three times before in your life. No matter how many schools I've been to, the feel of a dull lesson is always the same.
I nearly jumped out of my human skin when the bell signalled lunch break. The quick burst of adrenaline needed to be released somehow so I was grateful that I'd lived long enough to know ways around my strange physiology: I used it to launch out of my seat, into the corridor and down two flights of stairs faster than anybody's eyes could see. It was great fun!
Once I reached the bottom floor of the tower block, – in less than five seconds -, I could see people start to drift out of classes in pairs and groups. I picked out Kane, who had been having Spanish, talking to Sam and another of the small ones.
You saw Oli? Do you believe me now? All around Kane, the usual chatter had risen to deafening so using "ment" was the easiest form of communication. There's something about him...
Hey guys! Who's this about? Regan wanted gossip. No change there then.
This Oliver kid in year 10. Sam sent across a picture of Oli to everyone, showing him with yellow eyes and with wilder hair. Sam's image recall wasn't all that good.
Yeah, that's not quite what he looks like Sam, Kane noted. But that's him.
Regan's mind sparked a little. Hey Wolv, didn't you...
I partially covered my panic with a silent. Shut up Regan!
He couldn't ignore that.
Question marks flitted through everyone's minds but no one commented on my outburst.
I started to walk from where I stood outside the tower block to our table in the courtyard. (For the information of the sixth formers from 13.3, our names ARE on this table so, in your rules, it is ours.)
I sat down and a few other people joined me. Many of our group had gone to their lockers to get food; others were queuing up at the canteen. Jazz sauntered over with a pile of donuts and placed them down on the table. She noticed the confused atmosphere so she used our weird communication to her advantage: to make everyone laugh using her mental awkward turtle.
Once most of us had stopped giggling, we started mentally searching for members of our group. A few others drifted in, including Regan who had gone to his locker to get his lunch.
He immediately opened up with, "I lost the game."
Joking protests and groans rose from everyone present and we laughed again. The table split off into two groups; the small ones and the big ones. Simply put, the year 7s and 8s all talk about random kids' topics such as football and the pain of too much homework. That left to older ones to talk about anything that came to mind: today, everyone was focused on Jazz and her pile of donuts. Though all she could talk about was her new boyfriend which didn't surprise me.

After a sub-par April and terrible May, Masher Peer Boom showed signs of life with a solid June and was doing more of the same in July. That being said, the last 5 games have been something else...
7/20: 3-3, 2 hr, 2 runs, 4 rbi, 1 bb
7/21: 1-3, 1 hr, 1 run, 2 rbi, 1 bb
7/22: 2-4, 2 hr, 3 runs, 3 rbi, 1 bb
7/23: 2-4, 2 hr, 2 runs, 4 rbi
7/24: 1-4, 1 hr, 2 runs, 2 rbi, 2 bb
Total: 9-18, 8 hr, 10 runs, 15 rbi, 5 bb
Ironically, this came immediately after the team decided to give him a couple days off against LHP, due to how poorly he had been performing against them thus far in 2061. So, he woke up and had almost the best 5 game stretch imaginable. He hit .500 (9-18), with 8 of those hits leaving the yard, while posting a .609 OBP over those 5 games. He had an unbelievable patient approach, drawing more walks than normal and crushing mistakes.
It was shaping up to be somewhat standard, or below average, season for Peer Boom, but all of a sudden he has volted himself into the Hank Aaron and MVP discussion very quickly. His 27 home runs and 66 RBI now lead all of FBSL in both categories. That speaks a bit to the depth of the Twins lineup, as he has been hitting near the bottom all year. They do have a couple solid OBP guys in Bonds Jr and Ledbetter hitting ahead of him, at least vsRHP.
We will see how Masher finishes out the year, but it seems safe to say that this will likely be his best 5 game stretch during 2061. Simply because, how could it possibly get better?
Signing off,
The Gopher State Kid (A.K.A. Land O' Lakes, A.K.A. North Star State Uhhhh)

Watch Asher Roth, Nina Sky Rock Chicago, Dallas 'First Look' Gigs
On a mobile device? Watch the video here.
Crowdsurfing on upraised hands and inviting the audience to bumrush the stage, rapper Asher Roth owned the crowd at the Chicago and Dallas stops on Billboard and Chevrolet's spring 2012 First Look tour.
After DFM/Deuce Funk Monsters warmed up Chicago's Riviera theater March 20, the twin mic skills of Nina Sky's Nicole and Natalie Albino took over. But the main attraction was Roth, who performed favorites from his debut album "Asleep In The Bread Aisle" to a sea of upraised iPhones and fans in sweatshirts name-checking his 2009 hit, "I Love College."
Burning Hotels' melodic rock got the night started at Dallas' Palladium on March 22, before Nina Sky again steered the night into energetic R&B territory in preparation for Asher Roth's headlining set. The Pennsylvannia-bred MC is planning to release his "Bread Aisle" follow up, "Is This Too Orange?," later this year.
The Dallas and Chicago gigs were the first two stops on Billboard and Chevrolet's Asher Roth-headlined First Look tour, which next heads to Los Angeles on April 17, before wrapping up in San Francisco on April 24. Free tickets are available for the California dates:

Forest 2-1 Middlesbrough
Nottingham Forest secured an impressive 2-1 victory over title-chasing Middlesbrough at The City Ground this afternoon.
The visitors took the lead in fortuitous fashion when Grant Leadbitter's cross crashed off the post and into the net, but Gary Gardner scored a superb equaliser before the break.
That teed up Dexter Blackstock to score a second-half winner to keep Forest's faint play-off hopes alive.
Dougie Freedman made four changes to the side that lost at Charlton Athletic on Tuesday night. Todd Kane was given his first opportunity to impress his new manager, replacing Danny Fox, while Michael Mancienne, Kelvin Wilson and Blackstock came in for Ben Osborn, Danny Collins and Matty Fryatt.
Young striker Tyler Walker was named on the bench alongside Osborn and Collins, but Fox and Fryatt were absent altogether. Freedman later revealed they both have minor ankle problems.
The reshuffle saw Eric Lichaj fill in at left back, and it was his partner down that side who claimed the first chance of the game. Michail Antonio showed excellent strength on the edge of the area before seeing his shot deflect off a Boro defender. The ball looped towards Dimitrios Konstantopoulos' top corner but the Greek goalkeeper dived to his right to tip it wide.
From Chris Burke's resultant corner, Jamaal Lascelles was unable to direct his header goalwards from six yards.
The visitors' first threat came from Lee Tomlin on 14 minutes when he struck the ball goalwards from 20 yards. A Middlesbrough man got in the way, deflecting it out for a goal kick.
Former Forest youngster Patrick Bamford had been handed a start by Boro boss Aitor Karanka, and the forward looked to open the scoring on 18 minutes when he picked the ball up in space 25 yards out. His shot came through a crowd of bodies but Karl Darlow was able to make a comfortable save.
February's Sky Bet Championship Player of the Month Henri Lansbury offered Forest's response with two efforts shortly afterwards. Good build-up play between Burke and Blackstock set up Lansbury to shift the ball on to his left foot before striking it over the bar under pressure from a number of defenders.
Moments later, it was Antonio's turn to lay the ball off for Lansbury. The end result was the same, with the ball appearing to take a small bobble before the skipper sent it high into the Bridgford Stand.
Forest were the side in greater control, but they found themselves behind on 27 minutes. Boro's short corner freed up space for Leadbitter to cross the ball to the back post. It soared over everyone, crashed off the inside of the post and may have taken a deflection off a Forest man on its way over the line.
Keen to restore parity as soon as possible, The Reds carved out a good opportunity for Gardner to score. Burke's corner was half-cleared to Lansbury, who nodded the ball back to the Scotsman. He dinked it back into the middle where Gardner was unable to keep his header down.
It was an open affair and the visitors could have extended their lead through Tomlin. The midfielder turned brilliantly into space in the middle before scampering into Forest's penalty area. He took his shot with the outside of his right boot but connected poorly, sending the ball harmlessly wide.
And the visitors were ruing that missed opportunity minutes later as Gardner levelled the scores with an effort to rival his strike at Reading.
He received the ball from Lansbury 22 yards out and quickly shifted it on to his right foot before curling it across goal and into the top corner of the net.
The game was anyone's once more and Boro, despite being temporarily down to ten men with Ryan Federicks receiving treatment, were the next to show their hand. Mancienne had to dive at Bamford's feet to divert his shot behind for a corner.
Fredericks was substituted for Emilio Nsue and the visitors kept up their pressure as the interval approached.
Panic in the Forest area resulted in Darlow having to punch the ball clear in unorthadox fashion after George Friend's shot, before Leadbitter sent the ball high over the bar with a wild effort after he had picked it up in space 25 yards out.
Leadbitter will no doubt have been frustrated with his effort, and his emotions perhaps boiled over into his remonstrations with referee Jon Moss four minutes later after he awarded Forest a free-kick for a foul on Blackstock. Leadbitter found himself in the book.
Freedman made a change at half-time as Lansbury, who had received treatment while his team-mates celebrated Gardner's equaliser, came off for Osborn.
Aside from a Leadbitter strike which drew an easy save from Darlow, it was a low-key start to the second half with both teams struggling to find their rhythm.
It was Boro who eventually took control. They won a corner, from which Leadbitter cleverly picked out Tomlin on the edge of the area. Kane got across well to block his shot, conceding another corner. Forest cleared the immediate danger but back came Boro, working the ball to Bamford. He crossed it low into the middle where Kike produced a neat flick, leaving Forest with their hearts in their mouths as the ball rolled just wide of the far post.
But The Reds were back on the offensive moments later, and they had strong claims for a penalty when Antonio's low cross appeared to flick up off Tomas Kalas, who had slid to block it, before striking the defender's hand. Mr Moss was unmoved. All that was forgotten on 65 minutes, however, as Forest took the lead.
Antonio was pivotal again, receiving a through ball from Blackstock and doing brilliantly to get goalside of Nsue. He rolled the ball low into the centre and it looked like Osborn was about to lash it home, only for Blackstock to bring it under control before producing a brilliant finish into the top corner.
Boro, desperate for a goal to keep their title hopes on track, resumed control of the game. Tomlin had a chance to equalise when Leadbitter left the ball from Bamford's cross, but the former Peterborough man could only fire it over the bar on the half-volley.
Forest reminded the visitors of their own threat when Blackstock rose highest to meet Lichaj's long throw, glancing the ball wide of the post, before Boro came within inches of scoring an equaliser with six minutes to play.
Friend showed brilliant skill to race into Forest's area before cutting the ball back for Kike, who struck it against the outside of the post from eight yards.
Boro continued to ramp up the pressure, Bamford flashing the ball wide with a left-footed effort from the edge of the area, before Collins replaced Blackstock with three minutes of normal time remaining.
Both Kike and Adam Forshaw, on for Leadbitter, had unsuccessful efforts at goal before four minutes were added on at the end of the match.
And The Reds held firm to add another victory to Freedman's impressive tally.

We may already know just about all there is to know about the soon to be available Samsung Galaxy Tab but if you just can't get enough then Samsung has you covered with a new official video.
This nine minute long clip is thankfully/annoyingly (delete as applicable) devoid of a voiceover and just has the device doing its thing. Highlights include a look at the tablet-optimised apps for email, calendar and contacts. Rather than the single screen apps of smartphones, these all incorporate dual panel layouts like their respective apps on the iPad, making it much more productive way to navigate. Certainly if you had fears that Android wasn't quite ready for tablets yet due to a lack of app support then Samsung has at least lead the charge so that hopefully other developers will follow soon.
Also demonstrated is the fact that you can use it make a call, which given the Galaxy Tab is small enough to grip with one hand (thanks to its 7in screen) is a more practical feature than it may at first seem. Of course, there is also a webcam and video calling is also demonstrated.
Does this make you more excited for the impending arrival of Samsung's new wundertablet, does it make you more frustrated that it's set to cost in the region of £700, or could you just not care less? Let us know in the comments.

Pi in the sky
Chasing high-altitude balloons has become sport for many who send GPS-enabled gear to the outer limits of the Earth's atmosphere, and then chase after it as it floats down. To one-up his ballooning friends, Dave Akerman outfitted his payload with a custom Raspberry Pi computer that sported a GPS radio, a webcam, and various sensors. He claims that, thanks to his Sky Pi rig, he was able to capture some of the highest images ever sent down from an amateur flight. Of course, he blogged about his achievement and also posted a fascinating Flickr collection documenting his balloon's voyages.

So, the overzealously long title explains itself. I'm new, and I'm shamelessly asking for help. If anyone would take a look at my novel in progress Animal Identity, I'd be eternally greatful! Don't worry, of course I'll return the favor, as long as you let me know what you'd like some feedback on. My critiques are helpful and honest, so if you don't want something sugar-coated, I may be the right reviewer for you too. You'll get what you give though, so anyone who thinks I'll write a two-page review for a "good job, keep writing. Please review mine" has another thing coming. Please help a fellow writer! I don't know anyone yet, so I'm not sure where to start, but I'd love to help someone else as well. Send me a message if you're interested in an exhange. Sorry, I tend to be a bit long-winded, but that's good in a reviewer right?

TOKYO (AFP) – The Bank of Japan's surprise move to inflate its already huge stimulus programme exposes the cracks in Tokyo's plan to conquer deflation and boost growth, economists say, but it may give the government room to hike sales taxes again.
On Friday, the central bank said it would widen its asset-buying plan by as much as 20 trillion yen ($182 billion), bringing it to an eye-popping 80 trillion yen annually, sending the yen into a freefall and stocks soaring.
The BoJ also halved its annual economic growth forecast and trimmed consumer price expectations as a much-touted inflation target looks increasingly out of reach and Premier Shinzo Abe's plan to kick-start the economy stalls.
"The move by the BoJ shows that Abenomics is facing big problems. The economy is not growing, and is not showing the power to grow," said Ivan Tselichtchev, an economics professor at Japan's Niigata University.
"Thus the government and BoJ again have to resort to monetary alchemy. Again, it will have a stimulating effect, but only in the short term."
Friday's decision also threw into focus the sharp contrast of fortunes for the US and Japanese economies after the Federal Reserve last month brought an end to six years of bond-buying and is now considering an interest rate hike. The move – which is an attempt to stimulate growth by pumping massive amounts of money into the economy – is the first since the bank unveiled the unprecedented easing scheme in April last year.
The programme – and a target of 2.0 per cent inflation by next year – were cornerstones of the government's wider platform to turn around years of deflation and kick-start the economy.

Back in 2002, Microsoft started work on the next version of Windows, so called "Longhorn". This was to be out before the next big OS, which was blackcomb. Well, around in 2004, microsoft found that they would not be able to get Longhorn out in time, so they decided to make a new os based on Windows 2003, and Vista was born. Well, some members of the joejoe.org forum decided to use the old Longhorn code to make a os, fixing the problems with the alpha longhorn build. But a few days after release, Microsoft emailed them. So, development is currently down, but the torrents are still around. Well, I downloaded a copy, and will be trying it out on my laptop. I'll let you know how the results go.

Terrflex Spare Tire Mount and Wilson Flex Tuning Question
I'm using this mount and am getting >2 readings on my SWR meter on channels 1 and 40. Could this be happening because a). the antenna may not be grounded well because of the heavy coating on the Terraflex mount b) the antenna section down through the hole is perhaps touching the sides of the hole c). something else I'm not thinking of?
Spare tire mounts do not make good grounds to the jeep. Yes you should grind off some paint to make good contact. Also you still may not have a good ground ... the hinges and latch do not make for good grounding connections. some have had to use a grounding strap from the endgate to the body or frame to make this connection. The easiest 1st though is check your antenna itself .. make sure your not shorted out somewhere at the mount.
Where should the paint be ground off the mount? By the bolt holes? Under the mount so the stud actually connects to it? Thanks.
1 Attachment(s)
Around the bolt holes and the back side of the plate to make metal to metal contact with the jeep. You may have to scrap some paint off the jeep in that area too... I know that sounds like a horrible idea and i hated to do this also, but in order to get a ground it had to be done. In my past experiences with this i did give up on the spare tire mount. I loved the idea of it but i got tired of messin with my SWRs. I decided to go with a body mount and all my problems were solved. For a while i was thinking, is putting in a CB really worth it, scrapping off paint and then like me, i ended up drilling holes in the jeep to mount a body mount. But after its all done i am glad i did it. It's the original thought of doing this that bothers a person.
I have now added a ground strap between the tailgate and tub, have scraped away paint around those connection points and also where the bolts for the antenna mount and the spare tire mount is. I should have everything solidly grounded now and will head out to the open field to check the SWR as soon as I finish this coffee! Stay tuned...Ha!
Well, now I'm down to 1.8 and 2 on channels 1 and 40 so this is probably as good as it's gonna get. Any other ideas?
Man, I must have gotten lucky. I didn't have to grind away any paint or use a ground strap with my teraflex mount... I figured I would have to. But from the stud to the frame I have 0 ohms resistance so I've got a good ground, and my swr is 1.6, so I left it how it is.
Yup 1.6 is pretty good ... In alot of cases it's imposible to get a perfect 1.1. Its also really rare to get a perfect SWR accross the entire band.
OK...here's the latest...I've ground off paint at all the metal to metal touch points. Even ran a new antenna wire to the radio. Have .4 ohms resistance from stud to chassis (?) and a solid continuity throughout the entire ground system. Haven't gotten to re-read the SWR but, I'm not sure there's anything else I can do to optimize this at this point. Any additional thoughts from anyone are welcome and thanks to all for the input so far.

Any additional thoughts from anyone are welcome and thanks to all for the input so far.
can't think of anything else. Just check your SWRs on Channel 1, 40, and 20. Channel 20 should be your lowest SWR since it is midband. If you are staying under 2 on channel 1 and 40 you should be fine. Sometimes it is impossible to get a lower SWR.
I didn't tell you why the spare tire mount doesn't work so well. Most people think its a great place because the hinges are attached to the body of the jeep. But the hinges itself are filled with grease and a bushing so the tailgate can swing open. This makes it hard to get a good ground to the body of the jeep, and the latch for keeping it closed also doen't make good enough contact. Now somepeople don't have a problem with grounding because of maybe the hinges don't have as much grease in them so more contact is provided, but its probably hit and miss like mine was. When i had the spare tire mount sometimes i had a good ground and sometimes i didn't. I was tired of messing with it thats why i mounted it on the body. there's no way im not gona get a good ground now.
The overdue update.... the high SWR readings have been corrected. In addition to all the adjustments previously mentioned, I finally discovered that my antenna mounting stud had a crack in it which may have caused an undiagnosable short.
After finding this I contacted Right Channel Radios who immediately responded by placing a replacement stud in the mail. It arrived today, I installed it and now my rig tunes in between 1.5 and 1.8.
Thanks for the help that so many of you offered, and the fantastic customer service from the vendor.

Republican House Lock Is a Myth
No, there is no Republican lock on the House of Representatives. They're going to keep the chamber this year, and any incumbent party always has an advantage. But after this year? Too early to know.
Chris Cillizza is correct that most House seats have solid partisan majorities. It's also probably true that party loyalty has increased among voters, making seats relatively less likely to swing once they are represented by the "right" party, as most of them are.
Even so, Joshua Huder points out that there remain enough competitive House districts that Democrats could win the House in 2014 if they swept every one of them. That's not going to happen. Indeed, with President Barack Obama's approval ratings in the low to mid 40 percent range and most people still down about the economy, Republicans will probably pick up a few seats. But it's very possible that a good year for the Democrats in 2016 could be enough to tip the House back to them, and it's even more possible that a good year for Republicans in 2016 could be followed by a solid Democratic win in the subsequent midterms.
It's also true that demographic shifts aren't that predictable over the decade-long life of a districting plan. The Cook Report chart Cillizza focuses on shows a drop in safe Republicans districts that Cook finds tilted 5 points or more to Republicans between 2012 and 2014, and that there are only four more of those safe Republican seats than there were in 2008, when Democrats had a comfortable majority in the House.
To be fair, Cillizza does say that the Republican majority should be safe "short of a major electoral wave." But that's essentially always true: The House virtually never changes hands, and certainly not in the last 50 years, without strong partisan tides helping the minority party.
But if conditions do favor the Democrats in 2016, 2018, or 2020 -- the three elections after this year and before the next redistricting -- there's really no reason to believe Democrats couldn't take advantage of them.
The bottom line? Republicans probably do have a slight districting edge in the House at the moment (more from "natural" advantages based on where people live than on gerrymandered districts for partisan gain), and incumbency is still helpful even in these times of strong party voting, so it's always a significant advantage to have a majority. But it's still a 50/50 nation, and that means no electoral locks in the House, the Senate or the White House.

Sentence #452614
@native english speakers
is this ok?
No. Depending on what it is supposed to mean the correct version might be:
It's not my job, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I think you missed the point. This sentence is from a human resources consultant, meaning that the "it's not my job mentality" results for their followers into actual loss of their job.
Maybe you have difficulties with management vocabulary ?
Yeah, it doesn't make sense without quotation marks.
Well, I thought about it, but the title of the article in the Tech Republic didn't have any, and I got it instantly anyway, so it makes sense for people in business...
I think that if you are to translate sentences in another language, it is necessary to "get it" first...
Was the phrase 'It's not my job' distinguished by being on a different line or in a different colour / font / size?
"It's not my job: A self-fulfilling prophecy"
so I guess it was demarcated somehow...
Once more you are attacked by our ruthless pack of dogs - ripping to shreds your wonderful contribution to Tatoeba.
In other words, I triple-second what blay_paul, saeb, and arcticmonkey have said. There need to be quotation marks.
I don't know if the Needs Native Check tag is appropriate here, as sacredceltic's level is clearly native. "Needs check" would be enough, since it's not a problem of nativity, it's just the problem of bad punctuation (or sacredceltic purposely creating weird sentences). Not that important, though...
How many experts do we need to validate a perfectly self explanatory sentence. Each time I create a single sentence in English, I get you all 3 on my back. Don't you think that enough is enough or are you going to continue playing this game ?
A fact is a commonly accepted opinion (accepted by, say, 99.9% of the people). But you know that.
Since you don't believe in opinions of other native speakers, then the best we can do is overwhelm you with quantity. The more people say it, the closer to a fact it becomes (and the sillier you begin to look for not changing your sentences).
As you said yesterday, quality is very important for Tatoeba. Thus the more "experts" discuss this, the better. Unfortunately, I don't think that most of them will agree with you. I'm pretty curious to see what your limit is... If 10 native speakers tell you you need quotes, will you change it? 20? 30?
Quality is indeed key to me, as well as for the future of the project and of its possible commercial developments, because I intend to use Tatoeba for different projects that are dear to me.
So I don't need you to tell me about and yesterday, it was me who was warning you on this.
But this quote debate has little to do with quality, no and none whatsoever with being native or not.
Would the sentence be in French, the question would stll remain open.

The Way I Loved You
It's amazing how wrong you can be about a person
I Caught Myself by Paramore
I first met Edward Cullen when I moved to Forks, Washington. I befriended his sister, Alice Cullen, and he and I talked for the first time at his house. He was a total sweetheart, I thought we were going to become great friends but, I guess I was wrong.
Alice, one of my first friends in Forks, had invited me and begged me to go shopping with her. At first I told Alice no, after a while I decided to say yes so she would stop bothering me about it.
So, now here I was at Alice's house waiting for her to get dressed, I was sitting on the crème couch in her living room when a Greek god walked in. He stared at me, then started walking towards the couch I was sitting in.
"Hello." Said the Greek god who had bronze hair and sparkling green eyes.
"Hi." I said shyly.
"I'm Edward Cullen, who are you?" Edward, the Greek god asked.
"I'm Bella. Bella Swan." I said nervously.
"Well, Bella. Bella Swan it's nice to meet you." He told me, smiling crookedly.
I blushed furiously, waiting anxiously for Alice. I felt nervous sitting next to Edward, he was gorgeous.
"So, are you new around here? Because I'm sure I wouldn't forget a face like yours." He said. He flashed me his dazzling smile and winked, while I blushed furiously.
"Thanks." I said unsure of what else to say.
He stared into my eyes deeply, I turned around breaking eye contact. This is odd, I thought to myself. He was the most handsome boy I have met and here he was flirting with me, I wasn't anything special. In fact, I was plain I had brown eyes and brown hair. He placed his finger under my chin and turned my head to face him, I felt an electric shock course through my body.
"What's wrong?" He questioned, his eyes worried.
"Err, nothing." I told him.
I could feel the heat rising to my face, and I bit my lip.
He chuckled softly and ran his thumb over my cheek "Beautiful." He whispered.
"I'm not beautiful." I told him.
"Yes, you are." he said
His eyes locked with mine and I was caught up in his emerald gaze
He leaned down, his lips were inches away from mine
I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, and I started to feel dizzy. I sucked in a deep breath and leaned closer to him, he smelled like peppermint. I could feel his warm breath on my mouth. Then all of a sudden Alice made her appearance known by clearing her throat. I blushed scarlet red, got up abruptly and I walked over to Alice.
"Are you ready?" Alice asked, trying to hide a smirk.
"Yeah," I said, but she was already making her way to the door. I turned around to see Edward sitting on the couch,"Bye Edward." I said softly.
"Bye beautiful." He replied, looking into my brown eyes and locking them with his, I felt my face heat up, so with one last smile I turned around and walked to the door.
When I reached Alice's car, she was smiling widely at me.
"What?" I asked her.
"You like Edward." She stated, she didn't mean it as a question.
"No, I don't." I said while biting my lip, I wasn't a good liar.
"Oh please, Bella. Don't lie, I don't mind your my best friend and you two would make a cute couple." She said, smiling at me.
"Okay fine. Yes, I like your brother." I told Alice, while blushing cherry red.
"Well, you'll see him at school tomorrow." She told me, I smiled at her. Just the thought of seeing him tomorrow made my heart race.
(End of Flashback)
And that was the first night I dreamt of Edward Cullen.
Unfortunately that's all it was. A dream. Because the next day I met the real him.
When I got to school the next morning, I didn't see Edward . I looked for him at lunch but he was no where to be seen. I was on my way to 6th period, when I ran into somebody. I collected my scattered books nervously and was stunned to see that I had ran in to Edward.
He flashed me his dazzling smile and ran his hand through his hair.
"Um, hey Bella." He said as he looked around nervously.
"Hey Edward," I said happily. "What's up?"
He glanced around, was he looking for someone? "Nothing, listen can I talk to you later?" He asked me nervously.
"Um, yeah. Okay, Sure." But by the time I'd said this he was already walking off down the corridor.
I shook my head, Well that was weird I thought to myself. I huffed and walked down the corridor in search of my 6th period class room. I was still looking for the room when I heard a nasally high pitched voice. I turned to see who it was.
"Hey Tanya." Edward said smiling his amazing crooked smile at her.
"OMG! You'll never guess what I just heard!" She squealed.
I quickly hid behind a locker, not wanting to get caught listening in on their conversation.
What?" Edward asked sounding annoyed from this Tanya girl.
"Okay, okay I'll tell you. Apparently there's a new girl in town and Jessica said that she's like a total freak." Tanya said.
"Oh, and who is this freak?" he asked in a bored tone
"Isabella Swan, the chief's daughter. A total goody, goody nerd." She snickered.
I open my mouth shocked at this revelation.
"Oh her, really?" He asked.
Tanya looked at him through narrowed eyes.
"So, you know her?" She spat.
He ran his hand through his hair and glanced around, was he nervous?
"Oh.. well yeah, she was round my house all summer with Alice." He stuttered
"I spoke to her once. But yeah, I guess she she seemed weird." Edward said chuckling nervously with her.
I felt tears well up in my eyes, weird? He though I was weird? I don't understand, we nearly kissed! I walked away from the locker I was hiding behind and walked towards the girls' rest room.
Did he really think I was a freak? And who was that girl? I slid down the door and allowed my thoughts to consume me. But I was jolted away from my thoughts as the bell rang signalling the end of school. How long had I been in here for? I got up and checked my appearance in the mirror.
My eyes were bloodshot, but I didn't care. I walked out of the rest room and to the parking lot, I paid no attention to anybody and kept my head on the floor.
"Bella!" I heard somebody yell but I didn't turn around to see who it was.
"Bella!" They yelled again, I still didn't listen I just kept my head down and walked, I was nearly at my truck when I felt someone grab my arm and yank me behind the building I was parked next to.
"What's wrong with you?" Asked Rosalie, my other best friend.
"Nothing, I Just...nothing. I'm fine." I stuttered.
Rose raised her eyebrow questionably but didn't question me any more. I walked away from her and right when I was about to get into my truck I heard that same nasally voice. But this time I didn't turn around. I'd heard enough for one day.
(End of Flashback)
It's amazing how wrong you can be about a person, isn't it?

"Is it worth the money"? This is the question we ask ourselves while buying a ticket either to a hyped movie or an expensive airline (both dooming to failure) that lands us in "Forum". In the recent times of changing scenario, it may not be, quite literally. So, all the students who are strong-willed for a Foreign Education/ Degree or the Parents who busy mustering "lakhs" to send their child abroad for the same should ask themselves a few of these "why" questions:
- What made you decide for a foreign degree? (Advice from Counsellors/ Influence of friends & relatives/ Guidance of seniors/peers already there)
- Why are you going to a particular country? (Job opportunities/ Peer Pressure/ Fascination for foreign education/stay)
- What are the financial implications? (Education Loan on personal shoulders/ Family Support/ Personal Savings)
- What stage of your education/ career level are you going? (Under- Grad/ Graduation/Post- Graduation/ With some Work Experience)
- When would you come back? (Not finding an overseas job/ finding a 'suitable' job in India/ Other & Personal reasons
While different people would have different answers to these and many such questions, I would like one to ask himself the question that I started out with: Is a Foreign Degree worth the money it makes one incur? ; in Management terms, "What is the ROI (Return on Investment)?"
For years, the USA and the UK were the most sought-after study destinations for innumerable Asian students. The number of Indian students in the US increased from 54,000 in 2000-01 to 1,04,000 in 2016; about 14% of international students there are Indians. Thanks to the terrorist attacks and the unfavorable socio-political conditions, many of such students were then diverted towards Australia. The racist attacks on some Asian students saw many students returning home, and those planning to go re-evaluating their decision.
Let us see the various factors that pull Asian, particularly Indian students, to Foreign Universities:
1) Snob value/ fascination for West/ Peer pressure
2) Students are looking at overseas education as a ticket to immigration. Easy immigration rules allowed Indian students to work soon after graduation for a set period of say two years and eventually settle down there permanently.
3) The top-notch Institutes in India (IITs/IIMs/NITs, etc.) can absorb only a handful of students seeking a good degree that would fetch them 'the' job.
4) Students accepted by foreign universities after being rejected by their Indian counterparts ( mainly in metros like Delhi & Mumbai where the population is very high and still higher the cut-off( 98-100%) for admission in premier colleges).
5) The marred Western (read the US and Australian) economies depending on international students (Asian, mostly Indian) welcoming them with open arms. The international students contributed 17.7 billion dollars to the Australian economy in 2016.
6) The crème-de-la- crème Indian students (grads from IITs, PGs from IIMs, etc.Global) getting direct admissions and also the much-needed Funding in the best Institutes overseas.
While the 'pull' was reasonably strong until some time back, there have been a few deterrents in the last couple of years, that have discouraged many aspiring students from 'flying':-
1) Expensive accommodation
2) Difficulty in finding part-time jobs: with the Governments curbing work opportunities for international students during study so as to facilitate more local students taking up the same, the cost of living becomes a noticeable factor, other than of course the cost of the course.
3)A global economic crisis leading to the job market suffering internationally.
4) Incompatibility between the courses in the West and India; this was often leading to incompatibility between degree (and the course content) and the job propositions in India. Also, the quality of the degree and the Institute repute matter a lot now; there are no takers for mediocre degrees from average Institute just because they come with a "foreign" tag.
5) The difference between the courses- their content and modules as promised in brochures/ on websites and the actual availability and worth of the same.
6) Employer Selectivity – Owing to weak job markets, employers have become quite demanding. In-depth domain knowledge, previous & relevant work experience and various other factors are evaluated before making the candidates sign on the dotted line.
7) Fraudsters being quite active
8) Development of new rules and regulations by some countries: eg the UK Govt tightening rules on international students (viz: students requiring a job with a sponsor to continue staying in the UK, refusal of entry to non-English speaking students, acceptance of evidence (of financial capability)only from established Financial Institutions and alarming figures of unemployment in the UK).
However, all these factors should not make one strike the panic button: neither should the already present there students pack their bags overnight nor should the aspiring ones get absolutely disheartened. Better sense needs to prevail on both the Indian students and the foreign Governments. While the students and their Parents definitely need to evaluate the-the pay-off and return potential of a foreign degree (running at 15-20 lakhs a year), considering factors like net cost of education & accommodation, declining work opportunities, and socio-political scenarios; Foreign Govts also need to balance their policies when it comes to International students to ensure they don't get trapped in unfavourable situations. Here are a few points with an objective approach:
- There is no denying that there are some exceptionally good Institutes across the world, and if there is a price to pay for that, it is an investment in the true sense. Also, not to forget a very important point: Quality education is not cheap in India also, with IITs & IIMs hiking their fees significantly and ISB being extremely costly since.
- Extensive research on foreign universities and courses, keeping them as back-up options and designing a career plan with guidance from established sources can be a great help.
- Indian students in the US should look for internships soon after first-year studies, to develop good networks.
- Students should look and opt for niche sectors like oil & gas, etc. instead of running behind just IT and Finance(which have also shown some recovery in the US).
- The Australian Govt, in pursuit of revamping its system, is offering 2-4 year post-study work period for graduates, allowing international students to stay and work and thereby recover some of their investment. Canada has also loosened its immigration policy, wherein eligible foreign students can apply for permanent residency from within Canada.
- The UK and Australian Government are checking on the fraudsters, and on a cleaning spree of bogus private colleges.
I end with what I started out with: Rethink!! The ROI is driven by global economy and not just national; and an investment in quality education will should always lead to a frolicking career, in India or abroad!!

I wrote about the Mint/Intuit deal the other day. Being an avid user, I had mixed feelings about this development. I came across this good post about the transaction, which puts a decidedly negative spin on it:
"Mint was a key leader of the next generation of game changers. And now it's property of Intuit — the poster-child for the last generation. What a loss. Is that the best the next generation can do? Become part of the old generation? How about kicking the shit out of the old guys? What ever happened to that?" (from The Next Generation Bends Over)A bit harsh to be sure. Read the comment stream, there are some interesting points and counter points made, such as:
"Every company, including Intuit, should have the opportunity to reinvent itself (if, in fact, this is part of what they're hoping to do). In fact, a sign of a great company is one that can change. I don't mind giving Intuit the chance to do that, regardless that they were "last decade's leader".
As a MINT user, the only real question I had was whether I trust my data in the hands of Intuit. I have decided to take that chance until I learn something differently."(from jonathan)

The White Horse
500 Comal, 512/553-6756
Two reasons to be bar-bound at midnight on a Tuesday: one's alcoholism, the other's Mrs. Glass. Witness the sharply dressed bluesman in his natural environment, a dimly lit honky-tonk with an easy vibe. Three guarantees: soul blazing, breath stinkin' of liquor, and a little shit-talkin' between songs. Hitting the strings with old-soul poise and the mic with deep moans, his local trio's residency could well be an institution one day. This week, he shares the bill with clever country lyricist Ramsay Midwood and Americana songbird HaleyAnna Finlay. – Kevin Curtin

Years ago using the lowly ECB, I did hotdogs @ 225º for about an hour ... dark color ... sweating fat and yummy!
Used to do a couple of lbs. at a time, they freeze well too ....
I lived in Cincy for a few years after college and still get the skyline craving . . . often! I finally got around to make a "Skyline Fatty" last night and it was DANK. I started with: hot jimmy dean sausage in tube and rolled my fatty with skyline chili, large red onion diced, shredded cheddar, 3 hebrew nation beef hot dogs, shredded cheddar, hot sauce. I rolled it per the AMAZING step-by-step fatty rolling instructions found here (http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/a/fatty-rolling-by-silverwolf636) and finished it with a light sprinkle of dizzy pig cow lick rub. I cooked it indirect @ 275 with cherry wood and dry drip plan. Also, I laid my fatty on an extra cooking rack for support, but it still "split open" after 2 hrs but no inards spilled out. Here is pic of the fatty on the grill and off the grill. If you are a fan of skyline cheese coneys, skyline chip dip or just love a dank fatty . . . its a must try!
NOTE: forgot that I added plenty of Yellow Mustard over the inards before the roll and cook . . . yellow mustard is a key flavor to the capture that skyline flavor.
