This is a scheme to prevent all such waste being disposed of in general landfill sites and to promote recycling of components and materials. The legislation aims to minimise the impact of electrical and electronic equipment on the environment by creating products with recycling in mind and encouraging reuse, recycling, and recovery of WEEE.
How do I know what product is "WEEE"? The definition of a WEEE product is one whose primary function is dependent on electrical currents to carry out the main function, e.g. a toaster. However, some product, such as a child's soft toy with an electric circuit, is not classed as WEEE as its primary function is a toy. For further details on product definitions, please click here.

Updated at 4:43 p.m. ET
Texas Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison announced today she won't seek re-election next year.
Hutchison, first elected in June 1993, lost the Republican nomination for governor last year to Rick Perry. Hutchison had indicated she would leave office to run full time for governor, but then decided to stay in the Senate.
In a letter to supporters, Hutchison said the timing of her retirement announcement was aimed at giving "the people of Texas ample time to consider who my successor will be."
"I intended to leave this office long before now, but I was persuaded to continue in order to avoid disadvantage to our state," she said.
Hutchison also acknowledged the toll the past two years, devoted to both the Senate and her gubernatorial campaign, have taken on her family. She and her husband, Ray, adopted two children in 2001.
Perry rode a wave of anti-incumbent anger to easily defeat Hutchison in the GOP gubernatorial primary, which also featured a candidate with Tea Party support.
Perry made an issue of Hutchison's time in Washington and said Texas Republicans "said no to Washington bureaucrats" by renominating him. He defeated Democrat Bill White in November.
Hutchison, a member of the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee, has been a player on defense issues and served stints in the GOP leadership. Her Texas and Senate colleague John Cornyn called Hutchison a woman of vision and energy, "someone who represents the very best of the state of Texas."
Former President George W. Bush thanked Hutchison for her service to Texas, as a former state treasurer and now U.S. senator. "Kay has been an effective leader who has served her fellow citizens with honor and dignity," Bush said in a statement.
Democrats have 23 Senate seats to defend in 2012, including those of two independents who vote with them, compared with 10 for Republicans. The Lone Star state is considered GOP territory, but Democrats vowed to fight.
"We look forward to running a competitive race in Texas," said Eric Schultz of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, calling Texas "one of several Democratic pick-up opportunities" in November 2012.
Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, a Republican, said he intends to explore running for the Senate.

Lil Wayne May Sell More Than 700,000 Units of 'Tha Carter IV'
Following his energetic guitar-smashing VMA performance on Sunday night (Aug. 28), experts are predicting that Lil Wayne will likely land the second-highest selling album of the year with 'Tha Carter IV,' which was released at 12AM following the awards ceremony.
The highly anticipated follow-up to Wayne's infamous 'Tha Carter III,' which sold 1.01 million copies in its first week back in 2008, is projected to sell between 700,000 and 850,000 copies by week's end, almost doubling Jay-Z and Kanye West's 'Watch the Throne,' which sold 436,000 in its first week, and putting it at a close second only to Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way,' which sold 1.11 million.
'Tha Carter IV' will easily topple 'Watch the Throne' from it's No. 1 perch on Billboard's 200 next week as well, making it Weezy's third No. 1 album.
The Young Money leader's last two 2010 efforts performed much less successfully — 'Rebirth' debuted at No. 2 with 176,000 copies sold in the first week back in February, and 'I Am Not a Human Being' hit No. 1, with 110,000 copies sold in September.
Lil Wayne's 9th album 'Tha Carter IV' is in stores now. What do you think?

Sony CEO wields ax, sets turnaround targets
By Tim Kelly and Chris Gallagher
TOKYO (Reuters) - Less than a fortnight into his job as CEO, Kazuo Hirai sketched out a strategy to revive Sony Corp: a major push into smartphones, growth in games and cameras, and big cost cuts in a TV business that has not made a profit in eight years.
The Sony veteran, in his first public briefing as CEO, also targeted new business in medical equipment and electric car batteries, and set a target for group sales of 8.5 trillion yen ($105 billion) in two years, with an operating margin of more than 5 percent.
Hirai, who took over from Howard Stringer this month, is under pressure to turn around an ailing consumer electronics giant hobbled by TV losses and trampled by today's gadget leaders Apple and Samsung Electronics
"I am determined to transform and revive Sony. This is our only chance to change," Hirai told a packed news conference at Sony's Tokyo headquarters, close to where the company established its first factory 65 years ago.
Hirai came armed with a slew of numerical targets aimed at easing investor concern over mounting losses. Sony expects to have slumped to a record $6.4 billion loss in the year just ended.
Sony and Japan's two other major TV makers, Sharp Corp and Panasonic Corp, have been battered by weak demand, fierce competition and a profit-sapping strong yen that threatens the viability of Japan's once-mighty television industry.
The three firms expect a combined annual loss of $21 billion - more than Sony's entire market value, which has slumped by close to a fifth in the past month. Samsung is 10 times more valuable, while Apple, which Sony executives considered buying in the early 1990s, is worth 30 times Sony's.
"Sony's fundamental problem is that it has lost its competitiveness," said Hideyuki Suzuki, general manager of research at SBI Securities. Continued...

Brake pedal Clunk
i just put on new calipers. front brake lines, pads, rotors, rear shoes, wheel cyl and a Used master cyl from a diff car(same thing but the fluid tank ontop is a little smaller).
before i started to bleed the brakes the pedal went right to the floor no problem... started to bleed the front passenger side and let out the air like 3 times then i heard the brake pedal clunk so i went over to see and about 1-2 inchs from the floor the pedal makes a clunking sound. i removed the master cyl and found a drip of fluid where the brake booster pushes it. with no master cyl attached i tried the pedal and it goes to the floor no problem.
is the problem the master cyl is messed up or would it be the brake booster when there is the load on it. also the engine was turned off the whole time.
i just went and bought a new master brake cyl and bench bleed it and installed it and the first few pedal pumps it clunked stilll and then stoped doing it and the pedal still stops before it gets to the floor, about 1-2"
also when pumping the brakes i can hear air coming out of somthing
please reply i really want to get this fixed.
That's normal for the booster to make that noise without the motor running.
ok thanks BstMech
ok so with the master cyl on the booster the pedal stops about 2 inchs from the floor and makes a click/clunk sound. The brakes are not bled. removed the master cyl from the booster and the pedal goes right to the floor with no effort and does not clunk.
same thing happend with the old master cyl sooo.. that must not be the problem then. but the brake booster is fine without the master cyl so i cant see it being a problem ethier. i cant imagine air in the brakes doing this. it is like the booster has pushed the masster cyl as far as it can go.

Belt-tightening shoppers have acclimatised to a "new economic reality" but department store Debenhams is finding a way through, chief executive Michael Sharp said today.
Debenhams does not expect consumer conditions to improve next year but nonetheless impressed the City with forecast-beating pre-tax profits, up 4.2% to £158.3 million in the year to September. The shares rose 4% or 4.5p to 113.6p and the final dividend is up 15%. The chain — which is launching its first Christmas TV campaign for six years next month — claimed market share off rivals in womenswear, helped by new Designers at Debenhams brands.
It has been busy overhauling its stores, including £15 million spent on its Oxford Street flagship, and has another 17 stores planned.

We save books to read out loud to each other during our week every year at a friend's cabin, and my husband, son and I have had marathon serial reading sessions with the Harry Potter books and various Edge Chronicles novels by the inimitable Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell. Think of it as a reading relay - someone has to make up the hobo packs, pass the book; two of us need a chess rematch, pass the book.
However, my most memorable summer reading experience is not a pleasant one, but profound. Two years ago, I made the mistake of taking along Lionel Shriver's We Need to Talk About Kevin as my personal read. This novel, narrated by the mother of a Columbine-style school shooter, is brave, sardonic, infuriating and completely harrowing. There's a scene near the end of the novel set in a floodlit backyard that contains the most horrifying set of images that has ever stayed to haunt me from a novel.
After finishing the book, in the middle of a glorious afternoon sprawled on a bed overlooking the Strait of Georgia, I spent the remaining days almost catatonic, only half present while others exclaimed over the surf and the perfect s'mores. Never have I more wanted to reach out to others who have read the same book with the urge to debrief.
Contributing reviewer Zsuzsi Gartner lives in Vancouver.
RANDY BOYAGODA Long summer days are heavy not just with heat, but also with time and memory. In the years since I decided to pursue literary life seriously, I've felt inspired, not obligated, to fill these days with Eventful Reading, the kind of ambitions I've announced upon arriving at the cottage or starting a road trip or filling the uncertain quiet of a first date: "Oh those boxes? I'm reading the Russians this summer" (1997); "Let me carry that bag, I'm reading Henry James, late period Henry James this summer" (1999, and again in 2006); "Can you fit these Robert Caro biographies under your feet? I'm taking them with me for the summer" (2005); etc.
Hell, I even took Faulkner's Snopes trilogy on our honeymoon (2004). Of course, I've spent more time informing people of my impressive reading plans than actually reading, and as summers pile upon summers, I remember not so much what I've read the year before as what I had planned and mostly failed to read.
This summer was to be no different. My plan was first Updike's Rabbit novels, then it was Marquez, then it was Big Indian Fiction, then it was, again, Robert Caro biographies. Nothing stuck. I was defeated before I could begin by the weight of obligation. Instead, I've decided to dip in and out of books lying about our house: David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas on the front porch; Cormac McCarthy's The Crossing in the study; Gunter Grass's The Tin Drum in the bedroom; and also, here and there, Deuteronomy, Charles Taylor's A Secular Age, Roberto Bolaño's 2666, and Ann Douglas's Terrible Honesty, a cultural history of 1920s Manhattan. I read as much as is enjoyable. Summers, I've come to realize, are too short to make like they're endless occasions for endless reading.
That said, the book that has proved most enjoyable this summer is the least expected: James Jones's 1970 novel The Merry Month of May, which describes the turbulent lives of American expatriates caught up in the passions of 1968 Paris. It's nowhere near Jones's best work, but I have a special feeling for it, nonetheless, when I sit down with it in the living room. This feeling comes of finding it crammed in a corner of a little-used bookshop in Perth, Ont., a few weeks ago, while we were staying at a nearby cottage. It comes from the heavy text, the torn cover, the dense typeface, the smell of age and damp you get when you open it. The physical presence of the book itself, and where and how I found it, bring me back to discoveries and reading sessions of long-ago summers, of novels by Hemingway and Harper Lee, Morley Callaghan and Mordecai Richler - enthusiastic, energetic reading, before the burdens of obligation and eventfulness set in.Report Typo/Error

whos the hardest non brasilian bjj blackbelt in the uk?
whos the hardest non brasilian bjj blackbelt in the uk?
i dont think theres a huge amount of none brazilian bjj blackbelts in the uk as it takes something like 10 years to get your blackbelt and bjj hasnt been around that long in the uk. i can remember back in 1996 when i wanted to train bjj there wasnt anywhere that i would find to train.
http://www.ChrisReesAcademy.com - http://thetattooedchimp.blogspot.co.uk/
glad you laughed lads but it was a serious question
There are quite a few BB's, I think about 8-10 from the UK.
Jude Samuels is top drawer, as are Simon Hayes and Rick Young, but neither of those two compete much.
I know that Rick runs his academy in Edinburgh so he prob doesn't get the time and has other things to focus on.
Not sure why Simon doesn't but I'm sure he'll comment.....
Define 'hardest'?
Meerkatsu's BJJ Blog
To date there are 21 British born Blackbelts. As to who is the "Hardest" I believe that each individual would have his, and her, own merits, strengths and weaknesses. On any given day, and dependant on age, weight, injuries, present conditioning and personal training focus, ALL would be "hard". I heard Rick Young say once, there is a big difference between a Black belt and a 100% competition ready Black belt. So the "hardest" really on any given day is whoever is 100%. Problem is, it is impossible to stay 100% ALL of the time.
If you are asking who would be worth stepping on the mats with, then I think it would be an honour to step on the mats with any of them. As for them all competing, it is difficult for them all to compete all of time. Due to the youth of UKBJJ many never had opponents to compete against, others compete regularly in the Masters and Seniors, all are teachers and some are concentrating on teaching, coaching and developing the new generation and, there maybe a couple who are simply getting older and are too banged up. You shouldn't judge them on their fight record, the "fight" happens every night on the mats in their gyms with their training brothers and sisters, and to be one of those proud few UK Black belts, they would have been through many wars outside of the glory of competition!
Simon McGovern.
I had the pleasure to watch Simon Hayes fight in the 10K Challenge when he was still a Brown belt. Trust me, he is a warrior and one of THE toughest UK Black belts!

Admissions Q&A: ESADE
(Corrects reference to GMAT scores for two recently accepted applicants.)
ESADE Business School (ESADE Full-Time MBA Profile) in Barcelona, Spain, accepted 46 percent of the 692 applications it received in 2010.At No.4 on the Bloomberg Businessweek list of top-ranked non-U.S.business schools, ESADE prides itself on having the feel of a closely knit family in a welcoming city, says Cristina Sassot, director of Admissions at ESADE.
"Our students feel at home in Barcelona," she says. "Even if they come from a very different place, you can find restaurants, bars, and theaters where you'll be able to experience the local culture but also cultures from other countries."
The school recently made an effort to bring that same level of comfort and familiarity to the admissions process, says Sassot. At the new High-Potential Breakfasts, ESADE invites a maximum of four applicants with outstanding qualifications to come to campus for the chance to get face time with administrators and find out more about the MBA program. In addition, the school has extended its open house from one to two days, so it can get to know applicants better.
Other changes to the admissions process include allowing recommenders to e-mail their letters from professional e-mail addresses and increased use of online tools to interact with applicants, Sassot says. Recently, she discussed all the changes, the school's culture, and its application with Bloomberg Businessweek.com reporter Francesca Di Meglio. Here are edited excerpts of their conversation:
What advice do you have for those who want to write effective essays for your school?
Make sure you are answering the questions. Once you have written the essays, let someone else read them without showing them the questions. If he or she can understand what the question was from reading your essay, then you did your job.
Be specific. If you say you are goal-oriented, give us an example to help us really understand that you have this skill, ability, or strength.
Also, we've seen some applications that are copied and pasted from another application. Some of them actually use the name of another school. "I would like to attend INSEAD because I think it's the best school in the world…" And we're like, "O.K., you should pay a little more attention to small details." But it's not only writing the wrong name. Every business school has a specific culture, and we know the differences among us. In the essays, applicants should help us understand that they know who we are, and tell us why they believe ESADE is the right program for them. We have a small program with a class of 180 students. If you have two people who are unhappy in the program, it can be a big deal.
What role does the GMAT play in the application process?
Our average score is 670, and the mid-80 percent range is between 640 and 710. Of course, the GMAT is important, especially for our program director, because she would like students who can not only get into the program but also will graduate. We use the GMAT score to measure intellectual capacity. Of course, we will look at their transcripts, undergraduate degree, and professional life, too. We will call promising candidates with low GMAT scores and ask them to consider retaking the test. Some do it and improve the score, and we accept them, and others choose not to do it.
We recently rejected two candidates with 710 GMAT scores. On paper they were really good, but during the interview we realized they were not the right fit for the program. On the other hand, we accepted two candidates with 580 GMAT scores. One of them had studied at Harvard, had a high GPA, and five years work experience at a top bank in the U.S. He spoke three languages—English, French, and Italian—and he had worked for two years in Europe. He was amazing. When looking at his profile, we didn't have any concerns about his intellectual capacity.
What is the biggest mistake people make in the admissions process?
The rankings are important for them to take into account, and they give a lot of information about the schools. But they are not everything. You can see that some candidates consider your school depending only on how well-ranked you are. If they don't do the research on each program, they can make a big mistake during the interview.
Also, some applicants believe the MBA is the only way to achieve their professional goals. An MBA, of course, is going to help you no matter what you do. But depending on the goals you want to achieve, the impact of the MBA will be different. There are some industries where the MBA is a requirement to gaining access to different positions. In other cases, an MBA will help you but is not the key to what you want to achieve in the future. You can see a lack of research on what impact the MBA will have on their professional life. We try to help all applicants by assessing them from the very beginning.
Is the interview a requirement?
We have six directors in charge of admissions for the full-time program, and they each look closely at the areas that interest them most. For instance, the MBA program director will look at the GMAT score to determine intellectual capacity, whereas the career placement director will look at work experience. Then, if we like the applicant's profile, he or she will go to the next stage of the admissions process, which is the admissions interview. We try to conduct as many interviews as possible on a one-to-one basis, whether we are traveling to the region or they come to our open house on campus. Associate directors of admissions usually conduct the interviews. We don't allow alumni to conduct interviews. If we realize there is no way to meet in person, then we conduct the interview via videoconference, so we still get to see the candidate. Once we conduct the interview, we return to the admissions committee and discuss the application again. Then we will make a final decision about whether this candidate will be accepted.
What is the outlook for jobs for ESADE students?
Last year we saw the numbers drop, but we have not been that badly affected. Our students don't all go into banking and consulting, which protected us. This year looks much better. Already 18 percent have job offers. The first sign of recovery was in the summer, when 75 to 80 percent of those looking for an internship found one. Companies are back on campus, and they have offers to dole out. The reality is that it's still hard to get a job, and it requires more preparation to stand up to the increased competition. But our students are preparing more and doing a great job.
How would you describe the school's culture?
We are a small business school, and we have a close relationship with our business students. In class, students are expected to participate more, and professors know them. Collaboration separates us from other schools. We do not grade our students on the curve, and that makes a big difference in the learning and experience. They are going to be more willing to help other students if they see they are having problems. For example, we had a student who held a bachelor's in business administration and lots of experience in consulting. He realized in the first year that some people in his finance class were not following. He sent an e-mail to his classmates to say where he'd be and when to go over the curriculum and help them. He wasn't concerned about getting the best grade in the class, because he was going to be graded on his own performance. Also, 30 percent of your grade will come from your team assignments.
Diversity of the student body affects who we are and how we define our culture. When we talk about diversity in our program, it's not only about the number of nationalities represented but also what kind of academic background and professional experience you have had. Being able to learn from your peers has a great impact on the learning experience of students.

A Visit to Yosemite (video)
I always love watching other people's videos where they discover Yosemite. There's always something I take for granted that's cool and interesting. Take this great video from Trainkids on Youtube for instance. They caught one of the rarer sights around Yosemite, the fish planting at Ellery Lake. Pretty cool.

text: Big Bear, Ca, June 28, 2011, 9:00am – At last night's meeting of the Big Bear Lake City Council, it was announced that Fire Chief Jeff Willis will take over command of both the Big Bear City and Big Bear Lake Fire Departments. He will split his time as Fire Chief for Big Bear City Fire, and as the Interim Fire Chief for Big Bear Lake Fire Department. Willis will handle the duties of Fire Chief while other decisions are being made whether there will be a merger between the two stations, or if the fire departments will be taken over by county or CalFire. Fire Chief Jeff Willis will take over the Big Bear Lake Fire Department once Current Chief Rod Ballard departs Big Bear Lake Fire as the outgoing chief.

Accepted Version.
In this third Quantum Interaction (QI) meeting it is time to examine our failures. One of the weakest elements of QI as a field, arises in its continuing lack of models displaying proper evolutionary dynamics. This paper presents an overview of the modern generalised approach to the derivation of time evolution equations in physics, showing how the notion of symmetry is essential to the extraction of operators in quantum theory. The form that symmetry might take in non-physical models is explored, with a number of viable avenues identified.

Using discrete-event simulation to study the influence of log yard sorting on sawmill processing efficiency of small-diameter timber
Pinon, Olivia J.
File Name:
A sawmill is similar to other manufacturing enterprises when it comes to making decisions, scheduling production and meeting customer demands. In order to help sawmills achieve their goals, and because there is such a high degree of variability in the raw material used in this industry, computer simulation has proven to be a very valuable tool to help improve productivity and processing efficiency. Raw material variability is expected to be an increasing issue in coming years due to an increase in small-diameter timber on the market resulting from the thinning of overstocked forest stands. These changes are expected to result in a significant decrease in production for mills that are not equipped to process this type of material. As a means of analyzing the influence of these changes, this thesis details the development and use of a discrete-event computer simulation model of the Warm Springs Forest Products Industries sawmill in Warm Springs, OR. This research is part of a larger project in which other improvement scenarios were studied (Salichon 2005). The simulation model was first used to identify some possible areas of improvement and to optimize the current overall process and production of the sawmill while operating with its current log distribution. The study identified a number of opportunities for improvement. It was demonstrated that increasing the unscrambler maximum capacity up to 800 boards resulted in an increase in piece count production ranging from 2.6 to 5.3%. The influence of machines downtimes as well as the influence of having a second operator assisting at the horizontal resaw were also investigated. Past studies have shown that log sorting is an essential condition to achieve high production in a sawmill. The simulation model was used to evaluate sorting strategies that would minimize the decrease in production resulting from introducing small-diameter timber (5 to 7 inches) into the log supply. Different small-diameter distributions were tried and different sorting solutions were tested for each of the log distributions. It was shown that the mill would suffer a decrease in piece count production ranging from 10.1 to 13.1% if their current two decks sort is retained. However, it was demonstrated that implementing a three decks sort would considerably reduce this drop in production to only 4.7 to 6.4%. Simulation has been shown to be a very valuable tool that sawmills can use to investigate production and other log supply issues. While piece count production was sufficient for analyzing current mill efficiency changes, the introduction of smaller diameter logs will also reduce the board feet per piece ratio. Due to the loss of the trimmer data during the test run, no information can be provided about board footage and thus the results and statistics in this research were based on piece count only. However, future work could be done with log breakdown models like BOF or SAW3D to determine board footage. Future research could also focus on studying the influence of the trimmer's downtimes on the unscrambler queue and other machine utilization rates as well as testing mathematical algorithms that will search for other optimized sorting and feeding strategies.

Hosts: Izmar, William, and Macha
Topics: Kolossium news, appointing an English Wakfu Ambassedor, an exciting new Ankama Photo contest, your questions and comments, and a lot of us giggling...
Thanks to Oamoka for sending us a link to the Pony Creator... here's our results!
Do you have questions you'd like to hear answered on the podcast? Maybe you'd like to send shout-out to your friends in game? Drop us an email (insideankama.en AT ankama DOT com), or better yet - leave us a voice message on Skype! More details are available at the end of the podcast. We're looking forward to hearing from you!
PS. I really like listening to Inside Ankama on Air ~
Also I may have had a play around in the pony maker
About tofu thing tofu camed out frist becouse God Osamoda summoned it before there even was a tofu.=)
Sidenote- I really liked this episode, you focused more on the game than on ponies [though i was compelled to go onto the site] and managed to not turn this into some dull and dreary news program. Great job, keep it up!
Is there an edit function in comments? If so where is it? I didn't finish my sentence and it is really bothering me. =(

Chapter 6 : Somethings come along and burst our bubble
|Rating: Mature
|Chapter Reviews: 1
Background: Font color:
"The boys and girls in the clique, the awful names that they stick, you're never ganna fit in much, kid" Teenagers – My chemical Romance.
Nobody spoke about anything that happened at the dorm party, not Remus' secret, not me not telling anyone my secret, not them finding Sirius and I in a bed together in the morning and certainly not anything to do with why we were in the same bed. The only thing we did talk about and make jokes about were the dares we all did. Sirius in a Gryffindor cheerleading outfit was the butt of most jokes.
A few weeks had past and now we were all sitting in the one class we had all taken, charms. Flitwick never assigned us partners and that was how we liked it, I paired up with Lily and she kept my grade high in charms.
'Right, so this charm requires a lot of attention and skill to master the exact hand movement' Flitwick was saying 'Last lesson was an absolute catastrophe so I think that today I will choose partners and that way everyone will concentrate and some people other than Lily, James and Sirius will master the spell'
The three looked at each other smugly and then looked around to the rest of the class who were looking on in fear of who they would be partnered with. If you were partnered with someone that you didn't know, you hardly spoke to them apart from when necessary. In other classes the teachers had stopped choosing our partners because we were now in 6th year, but it seemed Flitwick had taken a different approach. Allow us to pick from 1st year through to 5th and then start choosing for us in 6th year.
'Right so, I would say Lily you pair up with Mimi, you can help her, Potter pair up with Elizabeth Thomas and Sirius you pair up with Ms Lander over here' Oh shit, this is exactly why choosing partners isn't good, he doesn't know the histories between the students. Fucking hell.
Elizabeth went over to Flitwick and began to speak to him then Flitwick laughed and said 'Don't be so silly, go and work with Mr Potter over there'
Flitwick continued choosing partners and I saw Elizabeth sitting a little away from James and practising her charm with no success. James looked so confused, caught my eye and shrugged before moving closer to Elizabeth and attempting to help her with her charm. She then turned slightly away and didn't meet James' eye before practising again.
'Hey Sirius' I said as he came over to me 'How weird is that Ravenclaw girl Elizabeth acting?'
Sirius looked over and surveyed the situation before saying 'She probably likes him'
I rolled my eyed, picked up my wand and said 'Help me with this charm then'
The lesson went smoothly with me and Sirius cracking jokes but the rest of the class didn't seem to happy with their partners.
'Ok, everyone' started Flitwick 'time to pack up' then Elizabeth went over to him again and said something, Flitwick nodded his head.
'Right everyone' and everyone stopped packing up and looked at him on his pile of books.
'After dinner, I want all of you in here' and everyone looked round in bewilderment 'I do this with every 6th year class around half way through the year but I guess your class needs it earlier' His eyes lingered then he said 'chop chop, let's go'
'What was Flitwicks whole I do this with every year thing about?' asked Mimi while we all sat down for lunch.
'I have no idea, but something that Elizabeth girl said sparked it off' said Sirius.
'I know! How weird was she acting, I hope I wasn't mean to her' said James worriedly.
'No I don't think it was anything you did James, I this is something else' I said.
'I cant believe Flitwick, he partnered me with Janvi Patil, that should be illegal' said Lola as she sat down at the table next to Lily.
We all laughed but Sirius said 'Her sisters hot though'
'Who's her sister' asked James while I just focused on my food.
'She's in Hufflepuff, Janki Patil, she's a year older than Janvi' replied Sirius.
'Oh I know who you're talking about' said Remus.
'You don't think she's hot do you Remus?' asked Mimi
'Of course not' said Remus simply before putting another mouthful of pie in his mouth.
Elizabeth was passing our table when James called out 'Hey Thomas' and she turned around wide-eyed 'Y-yes?'
'What did you say to Flitwick to make us come back after dinner?'
'It wasn't what I said, I had nothing to do with it, I don't know what's happening either' she said quickly before running off to her friends.
'It's weird, I've never really noticed her before today' I said.
'Neither, except I partnered with her in transfiguration in 2nd year or something and she set my hair on fire' said Mimi.
'Oh yeah, and Sirius, James and Lily spent the whole evening looking for a spell to get it back'
'Well, whatever this thing is about, we'll just have to wait and see' said Peter.
'Flitwick wouldn't torture us would he?' asked Lola and we all laughed.
Peter and I were walking from Transfiguration and came across Elizabeth, Janvi and Chiara walking towards the fourth floor stairs.
They were about to walk straight past us before I said 'Did you guys put your stuff down in your dorm before going to charms or are you going straight there?'
They turned around surprised and said 'We're going straight' and then paced hurriedly towards the stairs.
'Was it just me, or were they acting weird?' asked Peter as we made our way towards the stairs.
As we walked in Lily, Lola and Sirius were already there. Peter sat next to Lola and I went to sit down next to Sirius. I was going to go for the chair next to Lola but Peter got there first. James came in with Remus and Mimi so he sat next to me while Remus and Mimi sat in front of us.
Flitwick levitated himself up onto the pile of books and began 'Is everybody here?'
'Yeah, I can't see anybody missing' said Lily looking around the classroom.
'Yes there is' snapped Elizabeth 'Lucas Turnboil isn't here yet and Lily didn't notice'
'Alright Elizabeth she made a simple mistake' I said rolling my eyes then smiling at Lily who was shocked.
'Yeah well, if one of you weren't here then everyone would have noticed' said Janvi looking at me with daggers.
Lucas walked in looking flustered and went to sit down next to Janvi 'did I miss anything' he said.
I turned around after giving Janvi a dirty look, what did she mean? Why are they all acting as if they hate us?
'Ok, I assume that you are all wondering why I have gathered you here' and we all nodded in unison.
'Let me explain briefly' he said 'So, every year group has different classes of people, the popular people that you would call jocks or cheerleaders, the geeks, the gobstones, the I don't know what to say, loners?, I hate to say but what do you call them? The losers?'
'So as of right now, while you have two years left of Hogwarts, I want you to hear everybody out, I know it won't change your groups or cliques, but maybe it will help you stop labelling each other and look at each other in a different light'
'I wasn't expecting that' Sirius whispered to me and I nodded 'This is going to be hell'
'I'm going to put a few generalised labels on the board'
He pointed his wand at the board and the words 'Popular' 'Queen B' 'Geek' 'Loner' 'Loser' 'Friendly'.
'Is he talking about friendly as in slutty or friendly as in nice because I know which one you'd fall under' I said to Sirius.
He let out a bark of laughter 'Let's not get into this territory'
'Elizabeth Thomas what label would you put on Lola?' said Flitwick. Elizabeth looked shifty then said 'Popular'.
'Oh please, I am NOT popular, I'm so a loner, I always sit in my dorm drawing and being anti-social' retorted Lola.
Elizabeth scoffed 'Really? Lola Livingstone not popular' she said sarcastically 'Your best friends are the Gryffindor cheerleaders, the head cheerleader at that, and your friends with the marauders, if you're a loner I'm a fobberworm'
The whole class went silent.
'Head cheerleader got a mention' whispered Sirius.
'Right, Lola what would you label Elizabeth?'
'Well she's definitely not friendly' said Lola.
'Ok, so what is she?' prodded Flitwick.
'I don't know, I guess she's a....' Lola stopped before glancing at Lola 'A loser' she sighed.
'Right, next what would the whole class label Sirius Black'
'James Potter?'
'Jemini Lander'
'Queen B'
'W-what?' I stuttered around to the whole class.
'Save it Jemini' said Janvi.
I shot her a dark look and settled back into my seat, I am NOT fucking queen B. I'm not a bitch.
'Chiara what would you label Lily Evans?' asked Flitwick.
'I would say Geek, but she's a cheerleader, has the head cheerleader as her best friend and one of the most popular guy in the school is completely head over heels in love with her, so, she's Popular'
Lily looked abashed and refused to look at James who was staring at her.
After we had finished everybody elses labels usually falling under 'geek' 'loner' or 'loser' while Remus, Mimi and Peter got 'popular'.
'Now I'm going to pick you all partners and you'll speak for 10 minutes and then you will report back to the class with what you have learnt about them, a minimum of three things'
'One galleon he puts me with Miss Elizabeth Thomas over there' I said to Sirius.
'You're on' he said sitting up straighter 'One Galleon he'll put me with Janvi'
'Two Galleons coming my way because I think you'll end up with Chiara'
'Jemini Lander and Elizabeth Thomas' called out Flitwick.
I put my hand on Sirius' shoulder as I got up and said 'I'll take my galleon any time'
'Sirius Black and Chiara Manning'
I sat down in the row behind next to Elizabeth and leaned forward to Sirius who was motioning for Chiara to come and sit next to him 'Correction, Two galleons any time'
He shook his head playfully 'You'll have to fight me for it'
'I will' I said as he winked.
'Oh please, are you two done?' said Elizabeth.
'Fine, tell me three things about you Elizabeth' I said.
'See if you even paid the least bit of attention to people outside of your social circle you would realise that everyone calls me Beth'
'Fine Beth, two more interesting details about your life'
'You could seem a little more interested'
'I could, but I wont'
'Great, I was about to give you the benefit of the doubt, but I guess the queens B's just don't care about losers like me'
'It's only because you were horrible to us earlier'
'It's only because you've never thought to speak to me throughout these 5 years'
'Point taken' I said 'Ok, so what else is there to know?'
Beth smiled and said 'I hate cheerleaders'
My eyes narrowed 'Why?'
'I don't know, always have'
'That's not a very good reason but I'll take it and, you've got one more'
'In the fourth year, I tried to dress like you because I wanted to be popular and on the Hogsmeade trip I dressed up like you and when we were lining up to go out you and Mimi noticed me, and everyone started laughing at me. Including Sirius Black who you knew I had a crush on at the time'
I frowned and before I could say anything she said 'You don't remember do you?'
'Im sorry'
'My turn'
'Don't worry, I know three things about you to say'
'Times up' shouted Flitwick. I glanced at Beth but she was staring intently ahead.
'Right let's start with Lily and Lucas' As they stood up James shot daggers at Lucas for being paired with Lily. If I'm honest Lucas looked really nervous even being in that close proximity with Lily. I couldn't help but giggle.
Beth shot me a sharp look and I stopped.
Everybody went by and then last of all it came to Beth and me.
I went first 'Well, I didn't know that everyone called her Beth because I hadn't spoken to her properly before' I stopped and looked ashamed round the classroom 'She hates cheerleaders but has no reason for why she does' I said as I shot her a look 'and in the fourth year....' should I say this?
'I was a complete bitch to her and I didn't even know'
'Language Miss Lander'
'Sorry Professor'
'Good work Jemini, Elizabeth would you like to step up?'
I went to sit back down next to Sirius while Elizabeth started speaking.
'I didn't find anything out from Lander, because I already know a lot about her, as does everyone in this room, heck everyone in this school, who doesn't know something about Jemini?'
What the fuck? Is that me she's talking about?
'One thing I know is that she doesn't have any clue just how popular she is, second of all she does all these things without knowing, like she'll talk to one person maybe someone who's had a crush on her since 1st year and make their whole day and to her it's nothing, something she won't remember past dinner'
'Third of all, I know that Sirius Black is almost as in love with her as James Potter is in love with Lily Evans, and she doesn't even realise'
WHAT? What did she just say?
I glanced at Sirius and he was just looking down at his hands.
I looked at Flitwick and cursed him for even doing this shit thing. I don't even know what to call it. What is the point?
'I know you all must be wondering...what the point in all of this? I just wasted my evening, I hate Flitwick' said Flitwick 'But, this was to change your views of one and other and maybe make some new friends because once you're out of Hogwarts all these labels and status' they're nothing, they disappear' he clicked his fingers 'to the land of the unknown, and then what are you going to do? You can't live out your lives in these labels, just remember that, ok?'
I'll remember that.
I kind of know that you guy's are thinking 'ah this wouldnt happen in hogwarts' but this is my fanfic and if I want it to happen in Hogwarts, it will. Also I wanted this chapter to open people's eyes about labels and how status works in secondary school. I know that my main character is popular etc. but a lot of fanfics are about the outsider but I just wanted mine to be a teen drama that focuses of teen problems and just light hearted and nice to read. Hope you all like it, and if you have time, please leave a review. It'd make my day if you did, thank you!
Lots of love from HP

i was reccomendin your tish to charleynokia the other day hes doing what you are but has a mad plan for his guages
i might be askin you some tips this weekend so check ya inbox lol
whats the mad plan hes doing? and yeah ok mate will do my best to help
Got a question. Is there a way to take apart the headlight switch cuz i want to get rid of the orange and turn them blue but not sure if it can be done without breaking it.
yeah charley had his done i think ? someone else moved them to where the switch blanks are aswell !
how did he do it? and oh right klkl bet that looked smart
Just a quick update on my car. Iv just installed some blue footwell neons that come on when i open the doors, I think my heater is finally working properly still dunno why it was playing up but least its working now and iv also got my spoiler brake light working again. aint been working since iv had the car. Things still left to do are find out why my rear interor lights have stopped working think theres a loose connection somewhere just need to find it and remove the dried on glue from the carbon fibre sticker i tried putting in my car which went wrong lol. I will be adding pics up of the footwell neons soon.
Hi, it depends what year your car is. The early model's headlight switch comes with an ORANGE plastic diffuser/light carrier, and the 2 foglight symbols are silk screened on. NOT removable. If you have a later car, the light carrier is transparent, with the 2 foglight symbols being removable STICKERS.
The headlight switch itself is VERY easy to take apart. I'll do a foto step by step for you when I get a chance ok.
I myself have put 1 x blue LED per foglight symbol, 1 per headlight position symbol, and also taken out the orange diffuser for the headlight rotary know and ground out a new clear piece of perspex, with 1 blue LED inside that also. So total of 6 LED's, and also 6 resistors inline, 1 for each LED. Looks messy behind, but once all done, it is all hidden away anyway.
For my gauges, I bought a used speedo cluster for a 6 cylinder car, and all 4 gauges, fuel, speedo, tacho, and temp are being removed and changed out for these...
senseslinga (31-01-2011)
Mines a 1999 model mate and them gauges look mental
Ok,good,well,if I were you, I'd get a spare headlight switch with vent/surround to be safe. Are you going to paint your bulb or use indiviual LED's like me? There is only 1 single bulb which illuminates the rotary knob slit, and all the symbols. I did try use a single LED in it's place, but because LED's have more of a direct light whereas a bulb has a dispersed light, the LED was no good.
You will notice too, in your 1st set of pics, your gauges have dark and light patches. This is due to the LED's not giving out sufficient light around themselves like a bulb does. Try using neon/EL string. or you could just paint your bulbs blue.

Hey guys,
I am new to the forums, and not yet a proud owner of a WRX. Just alittle info: I am currently a student graduating from Shippensburg University in Shippensburg, PA (South Central PA) I will be graduating with a B.S.B.A in Managment Information Systems mid Dec. Hench Why I am Here! I am looking to purchase a car upon graduation ... a WRX. I have been looking at several different Years and the 2004, 2005 Models have caught my eye. (The Bug Eye, as I have read). The WRX seems idle for me, it's sport, fast, 4dr, great in the snow, great gas milage etc. Currently I am driving a 1999 Oldsmobile Alero 3.4 liter 6 cylinder engine. During high school I did some light modifications to the car. Cold Air Intake, Full Vortec Exhaust System, MSD Ignition System, MSD Spark plug and wires and a few minor exterior modifications. It has around 225 hp give or take the octain and has run a 14.7 at Atco Raceway. I am looking to keep the Alero for bad weather days and purchase the WRX for fun and future modifications. So far I have read how great WRX's are and I have noticed they are pretty quick and great out of the hole. I have found some WRXs on autotrader in my area under 20,000 and they are perfect for. Anyhow I look forward to buying a WRX in a few months and getting involved in the WRX community.
Is there a big different between 2004,5,6,7 WRX's ?
Why have people said if you buy a Wrx that has after market blow off values and small modifications to change it back to stock?
I have read the Up-Pipe is the first true modification to buy, do you agree? What other first few modifications do you recommend?
Is there anything I should be aware of that breaks or goes first in a WRX?
Should I know anything special about CLUBWRX?
What members should I watch out for

If you watched the Republican National Convention last night, not only did you see Clint Eastwood talking to a chair, you probably saw an intimate and moving biographical video of Mitt Romney, the party's presidential candidate.
But have you seen Jon Stewart's take on the subject?
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart has been covering the convention with its own RNC 2012: The Road to Jeb Bush 2016, airing nightly at 11 p.m. ET/PT, and finishes up tonight. The show has been taping at the Straz Center in Tampa.
Last night, as the convention was airing its Romney bio, Stewart unveiled his version: Mitt Romney: A Human Being Who Built That. And best of all: It's narrated by Leonard Nimoy.

Mandel packs briefcases for "Deal" world tour
By James Hibberd
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - With the highly rated "Million Dollar Mission" episodes of "Deal or No Deal" having concluded Monday, NBC is brewing another stunt for its stalwart game show: an around-the-world tour.
For the May sweep, the show will visit local versions of the show in Estonia, the Philippines and South Africa.
Host Howie Mandel and contestants from the U.S. will play the game according to the foreign set's rules. And yes, the "Deal" girls will be locals. (Some 40 versions of "Deal" are produced worldwide.)
"We're constantly trying to come up with new ideas to keep the show fresh, to tweak and make the gameplay different," executive producer Scott St. John said. "It's been a fun internal thing when we watch clips from the foreign versions, so we decided we're going to explore the way they do it."
The plan comes at the close of the 19 Million Dollar Mission episodes that have aired this season and re-energized the show's ratings. NBC's alternative programming chief Craig Plestis said he plans to repeat the stunt in the fall and make the episodes a staple of the series. (No official "Deal" renewal has been announced, but Plestis said another season can be assumed.)
In "Deal," contestants open 26 briefcases containing values ranging from 1 cent to $1 million, gradually paring down the board and constantly shifting the odds of how much they'll take home. Nobody has won the $1 million.
For the Million Dollar Mission (or MDM, as they call it at the network), every time a contestant failed to win the top prize, producers added $1 million case to the lineup, increasing the likelihood of somebody winning the top prize. On Monday night, a California couple had the board stocked with 13 of the $1 million cases, giving them a 50-50 chance of winning, but they still came up short.
The MDM temporarily turned "Deal" into a serialized program -- much like "Jeopardy!" during Ken Jennings' famed ratings-boosting winning streak in 2004. Continued...

Hey there, If the kartboy shift bushings are anything like the ones my bro put in his talon they just replace stock rubber mounts under the shift mechanism with nice solid metal ones. This is supposed to create a more solid feel for the whole mechanism. BTW if you want to save some $ you can just buy the right size washers at a hardware store and stack them up...sounds cheap but does the exact same thing...

Eclectic Grammy-Winning Musical Group to Inspire Reagan High Students with Music and "Positivity"
February 16, 2011 - The Latin, hip hop, and salsa musical group Ozomatli will bring its unique music and positive messages to students at Austins Reagan High School, on Wednesday, February 16, at 1:30 p.m.
Ozomatli (Ozo for short), is an eclectic nine-member, three-time Grammy-award and two-time Billboard Latin Award winning band. Ozomatli was born from the desire to inspire the younger generation, spreading a message of peace and unity.
The group travels internationally and is one of the most successful Latin bands in the world. Its positive messages earned an invitation from the U.S. State Department to serve as official Cultural Ambassadors on a series of government-sponsored tours to Asia, Africa, South America, and the Middle East tours that linked Ozomatli to a tradition of cultural diplomacy that also includes esteemed former ambassadors such as Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, and Louis Armstrong.
Reagan students in the Digital Media Center will film the concert.
In 2008, Ozomatli performed at Travis High School, and the student audience called the performance epic.

Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made (edition 2013)
by Stephan Pastis (Author), Stephan Pastis (Illustrator)
Work details
Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made by Stephan Pastis
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Cheeky, smart-alecky fun that hides some terrific vocabulary inside. Good for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, but harder/longer
I read this on recommendation from one of my students. Some parts are funny, but there are a few pop culture references children likely won't understand. I also kept waiting for the reveal that Timmy had ADHD or Asperger's. He's clearly intelligent and imaginative, but also VERY unfocused, academically unmotivated, and rude to his friends. I'm intrigued enough to read the next book, but I hope Timmy's interactions with his classmates aren't so negative.
I would have given it a two except I knew I was reading the book for my students. You see, the third and fourth grade students will love this book. It reminds me much of Diary of a Wimpy Kid books, which I do not care for but my kids do. The main character, Timmy Failure, has ADHD and a very active imagination. He applies his unique gifts to every situations and, as one might imagine, things do not turn out well as a result.
There is a small sadness in the book that I am not sure the author meant to convey. Timmy's mom is a struggling single parent. Timmy is left to his own devices, a lot, and a new boyfriend is introduced and eliminated rather quickly. Dad?? Timmy struggles in school and is oblivious to the needs of others.
I also did not go for a fourth star because of two word choices; asinine and be-jesus. My students are always asking me why authors put "bad words" in books for kids. Not all kids swear or use inappropriate phrases. It actually makes many uncomfortable and they usually return the books in case there are others.
While definitely a read for younger teens and pre-teens, some of the jokes might certainly go over their heads. Packed with puns, irony, and the stupid groan-worthy humor Stephan Pastis features in his syndicated comic "Pearls Before Swine," Timmy Failure is the world's worst (and funniest) detective.
In Timmy Failure mistakes were made is a funny and funky book. So he bracks his leg but can still walk on it with out cruches. He bracks his leg (the same leg) 2 times in all these books. Ie that funny or what.

The Kefaluka Resort is beautiful. I stayed there 2 weeks and I really enjoyed it. The staff is very friendly. Lots of activities: water sports (windsurf,...) football, tennis, sqasch, table tennis, basketball,... Bar on the beach and in the swimming pool are great. Very good for family as well.
Extremely frıendly and wıllıng staff. Always smılıng and oblıgıng. Perfect proxımıty to our boat at the marına.
The Marin-A Hotel is a small but comfortable hotel.It is very close to D-Marin.If you are sailing you my stay one or two nights and rest.
We were so appalled at the standard and service at the hotel we only stayed 6 hours. There was no airport transfer service, no-one to welcome us when we arrived, we had to pay before we could see the room, the room was damp, the beds were damp, sunbeds by the pool and at the beach were extra, the use of the air conditioning unit was extra, the sunbeds at the beach were broken and uncomfortable, the girl who was the receptionist/PR person was rude, none of the staff knew how to open a bottle of wine, the shuttle service to the local market was not available, for 3 hours (3.35 - 6.45pm there was no water or electricity. In short this hotel was a hell-hole and after 5 hours there I couldn't stand it and went to find alternative accommodation.We checked out at 6.45pm, unable to get any of our money back, but happy to be moving to a quality hotel and not having to stay another minute at Hotel Golden Sunset.

The recent blooms of the freshwater algae known as "rock snot" on river bottoms worldwide are caused by a native species responding to changing environmental conditions rather than by accidental introductions by fishermen or the emergence of a new genetic strain as widely believed, a Dartmouth College-led study suggests.
In fact, the algae have been native to much of the world for thousands of years, but conditions promoting visible growths were absent or rare. The study, which includes researchers from Dartmouth and Environment Canada, appears in the journal BioScience. A PDF of the study, photos and a video clip are available on request.
Didymosphenia geminata, also known in the scientific vernacular as "didymo," is especially worrisome in salmon and trout rivers because it affects the insects they eat. The study suggests multimillion-dollar eradication efforts with chemicals and fishing restrictions are misguided, and that resources should be redirected at understanding and mitigating the environmental factors that trigger the blooms.

What If It Was Your Child - Poem by joy olree
I saw a child yesterday sitting on a corner, tears
streaming down its face, and I stopped to ask
why and the child replied, "no one likes me,
they laugh at me and say I lie, but I don't lie."
I walk away after leaving a hug and some words
of encouragement, but as I walked home I said,
"thank God it was not my child."
Today thousands starved to death because they
had no food. Some ones little girl, some ones
son, but my child ate well.
I turned off the television news and I said, "thank
God it was not my child."
Every day it seems there is more tragedy, more
horrors, children dying, abused and killed, and it
seems nothing is done to change these things, but
my child is safe, warm and fed.
So when I go to sleep at night I pray and say,
"thank God it was not my child."
This morning someone screamed at my child and
when I in anger started to reply I thought of Jesus on
the cross, his father watching as he suffered and died
at the hands of the very ones he came to save and I
walked away and prayed, "thank God it was not my
So my friends the next time you are upset over some
wrong you feel has been done to your child, think of
all the wrongs in the world and should you feel the
need for revenge remember, Jesus could have called
all the angels in Heaven for help but instead he cried,
"father forgive them they know not what they do."
And God said, " what if it was your child? "

A huge number of people were involved in a fight in the stands at WIP's Wing Bowl 22 on Friday morning at the Wells Fargo Center. Witnesses say nearly 50 people were in the fray and the fight lasted 7 or 8 minutes. Around 40 seconds into the video below a security guard appears only to be thrown backward over the rows of seats.
'Take No Prisoners'
When the first training camp fight of the year began to spread like wildfire, Michael Vick decided to step in and try to restore order. He immediately regretted his decision.
"Not no more. That's over and done with. Can't play peacemaker no more," said Vick, fresh off one of the more spirited practices in recent memory. "I try to keep everything pretty much diplomatic around here but you can't always do that. Tempers are going to flare and there's a little attitude sometimes when you're in the trenches, so I've got to stay out of there. I'm not strong enough to be in there."
It wasn't long into Sunday's afternoon practice before a heavyweight bout broke out. It's hard to separate bodies in a blur, but Derek Landri definitely starred in the fracas, and Jason Kelce and Demetress Bell appeared to be the main forces of opposition. Soon the scene swelled into a kinetic ball. Juan Castillo raced in on one side to try separate bodies, then a red jersey flashed in the gathering of green.
"I saw my tackle going after a guy, so it was me looking out for the defensive guy," said Vick. "I didn't want him to take a shot in the back – let it be a fair fight if there's going to be a fight. I just tried to rush in and grab him and my arm got caught in the melee. I gutted it out, I gutted it out. I made it through."
Bell's adrenaline was still clearly pumping when he stopped to talk to reporters. He acknowledged that he never experienced a training camp practice quite like this in Buffalo.
"It was just very intense. It was football," said Bell, his lip showing a small quiver. "Tempers flare. It's hot, so tempers are going to flare up."
Another fight broke out during seven-on-seven run drills, with Danny Watkins and linebacker Ryan Rau locking horns. Rau appeared to get off a couple punches (don't think they connected) before the two were separated.
It was one of the more strenuous practices in recent memory. Andy Reid wants to push this team, and they are in the mood to push right back.
"Guys are a little upset from last year, and they're taking it out now," said Landri.
"Shoot, it's now or never; take no prisoners."

Six Former Dawgs Lifting Bengals
Oct. 25, 2012
By Loran Smith
CINCINNATI, Ohio - Paul Brown Stadium, the home of the Cincinnati Bengals, sits stately by the Ohio River, where six former Georgia football players are making a contribution to the central objective of a team that last sniffed a championship in 1988.
The Bengals are the brainchild of the legendary Paul Brown, whose genius went beyond coaching. The Bengals were originated by Brown in 1966 but have been a small market club without big-salaried players, which has led them to lowly finishes throughout their recent history. At Cleveland, Brown and the upstart All-America Football Conference rivaled the National Football League in the forties. Brown had won four AAFC titles when the Browns merged with the NFL in 1950. Brown, the classic innovator, proved that he could compete in any league. The Browns won the NFL title in 1950-54-55 after which their coach was let go by principal owner Art Modell. Brown went looking for a franchise and settled on Cincinnati as the place he would like to start a team. The NFL looked with favor on Brown and Cincinnati as a place for an NFL franchise.
In the early seventies, Cincinnati was a perennial playoff team, winning AFC titles in 1981 and 1988, but it lost in the Super Bowl both times to the San Francisco 49ers.
Brown retired from coaching in 1975 and died in 1991, having turned the team over to his son, Mike, who has had difficulty fielding a contending team. That began to change when he hired Marvin Lewis to coach the team. These Bengals have a new mission, which they refer to as "DNO," which means "Destination New Orleans," site of the next Super Bowl. "We certainly believe we can get there," Clint Boling, starting offensive guard who was a starter and a letterman for the Bulldogs in 2010. "We have to believe in ourselves and we do," he said at Paul Brown Stadium following a recent practice.
In addition to Boling, the Bengal roster includes former Georgia lettermen Dennis Roland (2002-05), Robert Geathers (2001-03), Orson Charles (2009-11), Geno Atkins, (2006, 2008) and A.J. Green (2008-10). Green, the outstanding rookie of a year ago, is one of the most popular athletes in Cincinnati.
"We saw what he did at Georgia," Boling said of his former Bulldog teammate, "and we told people when the Bengals signed him that they would be seeing a great NFL receiver. Some people thought we didn't know what we were talking about, but A.J. showed them what he could do from that first day in training camp. Everybody is a big fan of his now."
Roland, who started his NFL career with the Cowboys and then spent two years with the Tampa Bay Bucs, came to Cincinnati in 2008 as a tackle but has often lined up at tight end. "If David Pollack hadn't gotten hurt, we might have seven Bulldogs on our roster," Roland laughed. Roland and Geathers are the old timers of the Bulldog sixsome.
Following is a summary of the season for the six players after their disappointing 24-17 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Cincinnati on Sunday night. (With a 3-4 record and having lost three games by 10 points or fewer, the Bengal-Dawgs still believe they have a shot at getting to the playoffs. They remember what took place last year with the New York Giants. The Giants were 9-7 in the regular season and won the Super Bowl.)
Geno Atkins, DT: Started Sunday and had two tackles and a sack. He is tied for third in the NFL with seven sacks this season and leads the league in sacks by an interior defensive lineman.
Clint Boling, OG: Started against the Steelers and has been a starter all season.
Orson Charles, TE: A backup at tight end, he has seen action in all seven games this season and has three catches.
Robert Geathers, DE: Against the Steelers, he started at LDE and had three tackles and a half sack. Has started all seven games.
Dennis Roland: Started at TE versus the Steelers and has played in all seven games:
A.J. Green: Started at WR and had an eight-yard TD catch.
Tied for first in the NFL with seven touchdown catches and is third in the league in receiving yards with 636. AFC offensive player of the month of September.

Detection of human IFN-gamma and TNF-a cytokine-producing human CD4 T cells using the Attune® Acoustic Focusing Cytometer.
Red blood cell lysed peripheral blood mononuclear cells were left unstimulated (left column) or stimulated (right column) for 5 hours with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and ionomycin in the presence of brefeldin A. Cells were then fixed and permeabilized using the FIX & PERM® Cell Permeabilization Kit (Cat. no. GAS003 or GAS004) and stained intracellularly with anti-human CD4 APC (Cat. no. MHCD0405) and either anti-human interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) FITC (Cat. no. MHCIFG01) (A) or anti-human tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a) FITC (Cat. no. A18469) (B). Samples were collected using the Attune® Acoustic Focusing Cytometer (blue/red) with 488 nm excitation and 530/30 nm bandpass emission filter to detect FITC. 633 nm excitation and 660/20 nm bandpass emission filter were used to detect APC.
