former Pakistan cricket captain turned politician, is now reportedly trying to legally change the surname of the 11-year-old daughter Tyrian to his.
Khan, has always denied that he is the father of an illegitimate child.
But Sita White, daughter of the late millionaire industrialist Lord White of Hull,
has been quoted in a daily saying: "Tyrian needs a name change.
"It is a requirement by the American courts to have at least tried for Imran's consent.
" Calling from her home in California, she told him, says Nigel Dempster of the Daily Mail: "We would like him to participate".
Apparently, another round of the long-running dispute between the two is on the anvil. Imran Khan has persistently denied paternity.
But Sita White challenged him to take a blood test. In 1997, a US Judge ruled by default that Tyrian was Imran Khan's child after he failed to turn up for hearing.
Sita White, now 41-year-old, says she only wants happiness for her daughter, who is studying in a state school in Los Angeles.
Sita White claims to have met Imran at Tramp, the London niterie in 1986 and they dated off and on for several years.
She claims that Tyrian was conceived on a last "night of love".)
He calls every other politician corrupt and lota who is not in his party.
Mian azhar corrupt in PMLQ BUT clean in PTI, same can be said about many others known goons
like jajee khan of pindi, mian miraj din alias maja singh of baghbanpura, Mian mahmood-ur-rashid of lahori land mafia.
Doesnt this suggest Imran is mentally corrupt.
"Imran Khan's***ets have a worth of Rs 34,545,769. He inherited (no value mentioned) his Zaman Park, Lahore, house.
His***ets include an apartment in Lahore (Rs 1,175,000), agriculture land of 39 Kanals and five Marlas in village Talhar, Islamabad, (Rs 830,000),
530 Kanal and 15 Marlas agriculture land in Khanewal (Rs 50,000). He also owns 300 Kanals and five Marlas in village Motra Noor, Islamabad, which was gifted to him."
Can anyone tell me how 530 kanal land in Khanewal can be worth Rs 50,000 meaning it is worth less than Rs 100 per kanal.
I am willing to pay Imran Khan, a thousand times this rate if he is willing to sell!!!
So this is the self declaration of "Quaid-i-Inqilab" and he expects the nation to trust him. Very funny.
Interestingly, Imran Khan has never divulged the name of the anonymous "benefactor" who "gifted" Imran Khan 300 Kanal land in Islamabad as claimed by Imran himself.
Why such secrecy?

Jan. 31, 2011
This week Greg Warren's parents, Bob and Debra, will make the 1,300-mile drive from Mt. Olive, N.C. to Arlington, Texas, to see their son take part in his third Super Bowl. Warren, a deep snapper for the Pittsburgh Steelers, was a four-year lettermen at UNC who graduated with degrees in biology and exercise and sport science. Warren was a member of the Steelers' Super Bowl squads in 2006 and 2008, and recently spoke with TarHeelBlue.com about his NFL career.
TarHeelBlue: How are you preparing for the week ahead? Are the logistics any easier now that you've been through this twice before?
Greg Warren: When you have a parent that doesn't want to fly to Dallas and another one you have to convince to drive that far, it doesn't make the preparations as easy as you would think. They are going to drive 20 hours from eastern North Carolina to Dallas. My dad is hardcore. He said he's going to stop halfway in Alabama and meet some family. They also drove to the one in Detroit and the other in Tampa.
THB: With parents that won't fly, I guess it's good you went to school at North Carolina then?
GW: Yes, and it's good that I've played my entire career in Pittsburgh, because the eight hour drive isn't all that bad.
THB: This is your third Super Bowl in six years in the NFL. How does this one compare with the others?
GW: It's just as exciting as the first one. The night after we beat Green Bay, I probably didn't sleep but for a few hours. Knowing what is going to come up for us with all the festivities we get to be a part of even added to the feeling more than the first couple of Super Bowls. It's definitely exciting. We don't go to any of the parties, but the media days are fun, and it's a great chance to go around and see the city. In Tampa, we went to the beach. This time we'll be able to go to all the local restaurants and see the town a little bit.
THB: How do you differentiate this one?
GW: The first one happened so quick, because it was my first year in the league and is was almost like a blur. It was like that whole season I was just trying to make it and stay in the NFL. At the time, the Super Bowl was just another game. I'm glad I didn't overthink it because it might have changed things. The second time I was hurt, so I feel like the third time will be more special, because I can appreciate it a little more. Being injured twice and tearing two ACLs, I didn't know if I'd ever get this opportunity again. It really makes you appreciate every game and especially a game of this magnitude.
THB: Describe your injuries and how you were able to make it back on the field?
GW: I tore the (left) ACL in the seventh or eighth week of the season the year we went to the Super Bowl in 2006 I tore my (right) ACL last year with two games to go in the season. A guy fell on my leg. It was actually someone on Green Bay, coincidentally. I don't even know who it was. There was no time on the clock, the game was tied and all we had to do was kick an extra point to win. I snapped the ball, we made the extra point and a guy who was trying to jump to block the kick landed on our right guard and they both just fell into the back of my right leg. I haven't missed one day of practice including summertime workouts and all the others we do. It's really been a blessing how fast I've been able to recover from both the knee injuries.
THB: What will your schedule consist of the next two weeks?
GW: We'll practice for a week here in Pittsburgh before we leave for Dallas. Then we'll practice a week in Fort Worth and practice at TCU. It's awesome just to go to another city and prepare for a game like this. I've never played at the new Texas Stadium and I think I've only seen it once on TV. I think it's going to be something really exciting to be a part of.
THB: Describe the differences between playing for Coach Cowher and Coach Tomlin.
GW: They are both real methodical in their preparation. Every detail is planned out for specific reasons. Coach Cowher was more revered and you didn't say much to him. He's one of the best motivators I've ever been around. He would let you know what he expected of you and if you didn't produce, he would let you know. That was about the extent of it. Coach Tomlin is a little more of a players' coach. He really likes to hang around the locker room, hang around the guys. He really relates to all the guys real well. He's just one of those guys that's way more involved than a lot of coaches are in players' personal lives. I feel honored to have been coached by both of them, because they are great coaches, great motivators, just two completely different styles.
THB: Did you ever think you would have a chance to play in the NFL?
GW: At the end of my fourth year I still had another year of eligibility for football. I was going to go ahead and graduation – as I did – and just go along with my life away from football. Coach (John) Bunting asked me if I would come back for a fifth year and if I did, he expected I would have a very good shot for the NFL. That was the first time I'd ever heard that. I started thinking about it and I was able to get into grad school. It was an offer I couldn't refuse. I came back and had a successful year, but it didn't seem like I had many looks from any scouts. I had a couple of phone calls from some teams, but I wasn't expecting much. Immediately after the draft the Steelers called and said they wanted me to compete with their guy for the job. Even then, I didn't know how much chance I had. I decided to take the opportunity and just do my best. I had a good summer and had a good training camp and they decided that they were going to make the move and change long snappers. The rest has been an awesome ride. I've been a part of three Super Bowls now and hopefully can continue into my seventh season next year, which is something I never would have dreamed of.
THB: Did you think your career was going to be over when you got hurt the first time?
GW: The good thing for me was that I had signed a new three-year contract the summer before I got hurt. That was probably one of my saving graces was the timing of everything. Timing has been so fortunate with me. Coming into Carolina I was able to redshirt and be behind two great long snappers (Beamon, Helton) that were seniors and then the spot was wide open. Having that contract enabled me to have a little more leverage to come back the following year and compete. I almost finished the following year out if it wasn't for somebody falling on my leg in the second-to-last game of the season.
THB: If you had not been convinced to come back for your fifth year, what do you think you would be doing now?
GW: I'd probably be a high school biology teacher. I feel blessed. I pray every day thanking the Lord that he's done this for me. My life has totally been changed for the better. I've been able to do a lot of charity work, which I love to give back, help kids and help those in need. I've really been able to use this as a platform to give back in a lot of ways.
THB: What kind of charity work have you been doing?
GW: I did some charity work at UNC by going over to the Children's Hospital on Fridays before home games. Now, I help out with a golf tournament in Durham called "Sport For Special Kids." They contribute to kids with disabilities and birth effects and helping them in their daily lives. I also give to the Garth Brook's charity called "Teammates For Kids." The great thing about that charity is that everything contributors give, they triple, 100 percent of the money goes to kids and Garth Brooks pays all the overhead. I give back to my hometown. My peewee football coach, Alex Ferrell, has built a football field in the center of town out of absolutely nothing. He put lights on it, bleachers, turf, a scoreboard. We put a field right in the middle of town where we can provide a place to get kids off the street and have something to do. He's done all the work, I've just helped him springboard the monetary aspect of it.
THB: How often do you get back to North Carolina?
GW: My fiance', Ashley Keesee, is from Goldsboro so in the summertime we're around there constantly. She is a grad student at East Carolina so we are waiting until she is done this April to begin planning the wedding, which will be April 28, 2012. I get back to Chapel Hill once or twice a summer. I try to go to the Spring Game. Certainly, I'll enjoy coming back more often whenever I'm retired.
THB: Do you still follow the Tar Heels and what is your opinion of where the program stands?
GW: Of course, I follow them. Even with the adversity they faced this year, I'm excited for them. I think Coach Davis did a heck of a job with the players there. I think they've got a lot of talent even though they were missing key players for a majority of the season and they showed a lot of perseverance throughout the season and determination. It was awesome to see them go out there and fight and be competitive. I think great things are happening around there.
THB: Many Carolina fans are interested in the progress of Kyle Jolly, a former Tar Heel who is now on the Steelers' practice squad. How is his doing?
GW: Kyle is a great guy and he's been on our practice squad all season. From what I hear, the coaches like him and he has a chance to make the squad again next year. He's working with one of the best offensive line coaches in the country, so he has a lot going for him right now.
THB: What are your thoughts on Green Bay?
GW: I think they are a heck of a team. I had no idea they were a sixth seed because they've been playing at such a high level. I think Aaron Rodgers is one of the best. We were watching highlights of him this week and he just makes plays. I think the key for us will be to keep him scrambling and get him rattled. He reminds me a lot of Roethlisberger because he can allude the guy coming off the edge when it looks like a sure sack and get away and make a big play out of it.
THB: How did your time at UNC prepare you for the NFL?
GW: I think it just smoothed my transition in addition to getting a great education. The atmosphere on campus made the transition easier for me. Chapel Hill's not a big city by any means, but coming from a small, rural town like I did, that atmosphere helped. Being on the football team gave me discipline, structure. It allowed you to be away from home, but not away from all the rules and discipline. It was really awesome to be a part of Tar Heel nation.

Transmission Shudder
I have a 2002 GC Overland with the 4.7V8 and am experiencing a problem.
When driving at highway speeds (55-70 MPH) The transmission shifts in and out of OD. When the downshift occurs there is a shudder, harder at higher speeds and softer at the lower speeds. The shift will always occur when the RPMS increase ~200-400. The transmission acts like it is trying to search for a gear but is at a halfway speed between OD and the lower gear.
Any ideas on what the main cause may be?
Re: Transmission Shudder
You could test you Throttle Posistion sensor, If you have a ohm meter.
Re: Transmission Shudder
Its most probably the torque converter clutch unlocking/locking what you see.
This is often caused by a TPS sensor which is on its way out. Like If you have a scanner which shows live data, you can see the TPS in %, just look if the indication is steady or fluctuating. I have never tried to measure it with an ohm meter, but could be good as well.
Re: Transmission Shudder
Well, just changed out the TPS and the idle has leveled out to ~650-700 RPM, the RPM rev at start up also went away as well. Going to test if the shudder is still there when I drive home from work.
Re: Transmission Shudder
Testing when well, shudder is almost completely gone. Only a very slight vibration occurred upon downshifting from OD, that could be due to the length of time that it was driven before changing TPS (occurred before I obtained vehicle).
Thanks for the input guys!

New Boarder
hey guys whats up. im new to snowboarding, only been once and love it. i was thinking about buying my own gear. i need some help finding a board, bindings, an boots. ive got a budget of under $300. when i went, i rented a 155 (not sure how the size affects it) size board.
weight: 145, give or take 5 pounds
height: 5'9
age: 16
boot size: 10
riding style: freeride?
any help on finding me something would be great. the 155 board i used seemed pretty good. thx guys :)
New or Used? Also what have you been looking at or are interested in?
Thats a decent budget, about what I had. Search craigslist for board, my brother found a like-new condition Salomon Prospect for 135, and I got my Forum for 150...and check local stores for sales because its the end of the season (Dick's sporting goods still have stuff since I bought it a month or so ago, basically all of the bindings and whatnot are still there...found boots for 85 and bindings as well...)
And definately try on various boots to see how they fit
i am looking for a new board. one that will last me quite a while. what size boards should i be looking at?
I think you would need a board around sized 152-158. What boards, bindings, and boots have you been looking at, you have to a at least a idea on what you might want!
i dont know! youre pressuring me! its late at night and im tired ill check in a second... :)
Im not pressuring you, you should already have an idea on what you might want before asking people what they think, this will help us so we can get a I idea on what you want and what might be better for you.
im looking at this dream fly spark snowboard for about $150, and standard Type A bindings. nothing fancy or expensive. btw how would u know whether the boards are for girls or boys?
this'll be my last post, ill be back tommorow
It should say on the web.
At your weight I'd go with a 151-155 (155 for deeper snow etc.) You don't weigh much and board bigger than 153 will be a PITA at your weight. I've never heard of the board you are looking at so it could be anything, don't buy it at walmart :laugh:

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – Clackamas Community College post player Max Jacobsen has signed a National Letter of Intent to attend Northern Arizona University in the fall and play basketball, Head Coach Mike Adras announced.
"He played for a great junior college coach in Coach Clif Wegner and really developed this season," said Adras. "He had a breakout year and received great tutelage from a coach who has been doing this a long time."
Jacobsen averaged 22 points per game and 8.0 rebounds, while shooting 68 percent from the field. He was named the Southern Region MVP and led his team to a region championship and 20-8 record. He scored a season-high 46 points and grabbed 19 rebounds against Yakima Valley, posting five double-doubles on the season and scoring 20 or more points 15 times.
"We are excited to get him," said Adras. "He is a great student. We see him as someone who can score and play in the low post. He can score around the basket and also step out and shoot a 15-footer and make shots."
The Lake Oswego, Ore., native originally signed with Portland State out of high school before transferring to Clackamas. He played in three consecutive Three Rivers League championships at Lake Oswego High School, teaming with NBA standout Kevin Love during his freshman season on team that finished second at state, losing to a South Medford team that was led by Duke star Kyle Singler. Jacobsen lettered three times and was named first team All-Three Rivers League. He was also a member of the Oregon Lords AAU team.
He plans on majoring in engineering at NAU and three years of eligibility remaining.
Jacobsen joins three high school perimeter players signed by Adras in the fall during the early signing period, including point guard James Douglas of Orange Lutheran High School in Orange, Calif., and wings Colin Gruber of Harbor High School in Santa Cruz, Calif., and Daniel Cheek of Corona Del Mar High School in Newport Beach, Calif.

Re: Scoping question
Hi Yaroslav,
the first "outer x is 1" comes from the application of:
(Print["outer x is ", x]; f2[#]) &
to the first element of Range[2]. The second from the application to the
second element of Range[2].
The "outer x is 2" come from: f1[x + 1].
If you want to see how the sequence in which the functions are called,
you may e.g. use Trace. E.g.:
Trace[f1[1], f1[_] | f2[_]]
hope this helps, Daniel

: Wash N Go
In this pic, cleansed with a Castile Soap bar that I MADE with extra-virgin olive oil and coconut milk (no scent); oil rinsed with a blend of Tahitian Monoi oil & macadamia oil; after rinsing I deep conditioned with a "Hair Mask Conditioner" made with emollients like Palm oil, Shea Butter, Illipe Nut Butter, Avocado oil, Meadowfoam oil... Used a light leave-in, then sealed wet curls with an "Avocado & Organic Blue Agave Nectar Braid & Twist Butter Cream" and for a light/medium hold I used a natural/organic Curl Styling Jelly... all of these products I make from scratch
I'd read tons of threads on Shampoo Bars and even though reviews were mixed I decided to grab the Coconut Castile bar from my soap room... My quest is for healthy, silicon, Petrolatum/Mineral oil and sulfate free NATURAL HAIR...

Fun times
Sail Date: October 04, 2015
Reviewed: 1 year ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Oceanview
We had a really good time on this cruise. The cabin exceeded our expectations, and, the service was excellent, esp. the room stewards. Our dining experience was also excellent...The Scarlett Room provided us w/excellent dining experiences, except for the last 3-4 days of the cruise, when we had to wait over an hr. to get our main course. The shore excursions, all in all, were "ok". One of them, which was purchased on-line pre-sailing, turned out to be a big disappointment. it was described as lasting 4 hrs; w/1.75 hrs. beachtime at 2 beaches. However, the driver would only allow us 10-15 mins. at each beach, and, by the time we reached the last beach, he told us he had to be back in town before 12, which meant our 4 hr. tour was cut by 2+hrs! We were not pleased!!! However, the 4 of us(1 other couple on the bus)"pressured" the driver to allow us at least 45 mins. at this beach....to his credit, he did. I have filed a complaint w/the tour operator owner, and, he has promised me "a refund"...wouldn't say how much, though...oh and he did promise this: "if you come back to St. Maarten, I will give you this tour free!"....) :

How to be an Aggressive SalesmanSubmitted By: Aaron Thomes in Career Tips category
Salesman or better referred to as salesperson nowadays is a person who is responsible for selling goods, products or services to the customers. He is the person who provides the consumer with the goods or the products. Selling is an act by which an organization sells its products through the salesperson. This service or product is provided in return of money or can be said as compensation. A salesman can be considered as a medium between the producer of the goods or services and the final consumer. Salesmen may get a monthly salary and additional incentive according to their performance. Salesmen need to be aggressive to make the consumer buy the product they are trying to sell. Discussed below are some of the tips on how to become an aggressive salesman.
How to be an Aggressive Salesman
Nowadays, producers use sales techniques and salesmen to get their stuff sold. In order to make the salesmen more aggressive, better commissions are provided to the salesmen. This motivates them to work aggressively to get their products sold. Organizations use this method due to lack of sales through the stores and achieve their sales target. Salesmen have to go door to door to give the demo of their product and get people convinced that it is a better product. Mostly, this is a successful and better method for newly started business, in order to mark their presence in the market.
Convincing: Aggressive salesmen ensure that the customer gets an excellent experience of the product and is convinced enough. This creates a possibility of him/her calling the salesman sometime later, even if he/she doesn't decide to buy it that day.
Company Card: A good salesman must leave a card with the customer even if the person doesn't decide to buy the product. This card contains the contact numbers and address where they can contact if they wish to buy it later.
Point of View: Salespersons are familiar with the positive and negative aspect of the product, so they must know how to magnify the positive aspect and provide a better display of the features of the product.
Relationship: Making a healthy relationship with the customer is also important. Customers must develop trust on the salesman. This can be done by ensuring the customers that the salesman understands their needs and would be ready to help in case any problem arises related to the product.
Creating Excitement: Being aggressive doesn't mean being violent. It is just getting into the excitement of selling a product, so that a potential buyer is convinced to buy it.
Communication Skill: A salesman must have the communication skill which is simple yet catchy. He should be capable of making even a hesitant buyer to consider it for a while and think of buying it. Although aggressiveness is a fine trick, one must be aware that the buyer should not feel as if he is being forced to buy a product.
Target Customers: Being aggressive with clients who must not be a proper customer for a particular product would be useless. Only target customers should be considered.
Personality: To be aggressive in front of the customer, a salesman must have a visual as well as an attractive way of presenting himself/herself. Also, he/she should have the knowledge of local languages and social ethics, so that he might not hurt the feelings of the customer in the course of discussion.
Need: Customer needs to be convinced that this is the product which he/she really needs in their day to day life. This can be called creating the need for a product through effective presentation.
As a whole, if one asks how to be an aggressive salesman, answer would be that before showing aggressiveness one must have the experience, so that it doesn't seem to be a forcing act.

I went to This salon last week and i must say i really loved it. when i had my hair washed not only did i get a head massage but i also had a foot and leg massage with a foot/leg massage machine. It was a wonderful extra touch. They were very attentive and i got a cupcake with my Latte!! i really felt like they gave that extra special bit of service. I would most certainly recommend to friends and family, the stylist i had was Becky i felt very safe in her hands she really knew what i needed and listened to me so thank you so much.

On my AK, I can pull the charging handle back, let it slam forward and chamber a round. However once it is chambered, there is still a small gap about 1/4 of an inch between the edge of the chamber and the bolt, is this normal or is it something I need to address?
"The value you put on the lost will be determined by the sacrifice you are willing to make to seek them until they are found."

Let me know.
"A first rate man with a third rate gun is far better than the other way around". The gun is a tool, you are the craftsman that makes it work. There are those who say "if I had to do it, I could" yet they never go out and train to do it. Don't let stupid be your mindset. Harryball 2013
Does the round then eject? Does it fire like this?
My AK won't feed snap caps because the extractor never picks up the rim and slam shut leaving about a 1/4" gap. Pulling the bolt back, the round won't eject because the extractor never grabs the rim. With real ammo it doesn't do this. The snap caps rim have an odd shape.
A couple questions. Are you talking about the bolt face being 1/4" from the chamber face or the charging handle being 1/4" from the bolt stop on the sight tower? There is a difference. The charging handle is on the bolt carrier, not the bolt. The charging handle on the bolt carrier can be 1/4" from its stop and the bolt is already fully locked into its locking lugs.
Perform the following WITHOUT ammo in the weapon.
If it is the charging handle not going forward against the carrier stop I would remove the bolt carrier and bolt and check for an obstruction or roughness perventing the bolt carrier from going forward the last 1/4" on the bolt. Then I would check for obstruction/roughness between the bolt carrier and the frame rails preventing the carrier from going forward the last 1/4"
If it is the actual bolt face stopping 1/4" from the chamber face this is a Big Problem and a dangerous condition. Do not fire the weapon in this condition. In this case also pull the bolt carrier and the bolt and check for obstruction/roughness preventing the bolt rotating into a locked position while withn the carrier. Then remove the bolt from the carrier and see if the locking lugs on the bolt will lock up in the chamber or if there is obstructin/roughness preventing the bolt from locking up to the chamber. If this is all good then I would look for extractor problems.

Janus Adams: A Woman Making History
By Becca Stanger
"I'm a woman. Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman. That's me."
More than any floral dress or pair of delicate heels or vibrant lipstick, Maya Angelou's stirring words in her poem "Phenomenal Woman" have always filled me with immense pride as a woman. With confidence and pleasure in her femininity, Angelou embraces womanhood's strength, inspiring me to do the same. I feel a similar sense of pride when hearing of Janus Adams' life work.
Janus Adams has made a career out of speaking for the unspoken. An Emmy-winning journalist, historian, producer, talk show host, and publisher, Janus Adams is the author of nine books, including the Glory Days trilogy on African American history and culture. She is also the creator of the highly acclaimed BackPax children's book-and-audio series – a project born from her desire to offer her daughters "non-racist, gender-inclusive materials." Adams writes a syndicated column titled "What Do We Tell Our Children," regularly offers commentary on NPR, and writes op-eds featured on UPI.com and in USA Today. If that weren't enough, Janus Adams was one of the four children selected to end New York City's de facto segregation in elementary schools. A classically trained pianist, Adams earned the nation's first graduate degree in Black Studies when she graduated with a Masters in Pan-African Culture. For her impressive accomplishments helping those in need, Adams was selected as a participant in the Women's Media Center's Progressive Women's Voices program.
Janus Adam's professional accomplishments as well as her commitment to children, women, caregivers, and black Americans inspires me. Besides blowing past the barriers of oppression, Adams has wielded her success for good, fighting for social justice for all. As Adams explained in an interview with The Byline Blog:
"I came upon a book of African American women's history with a title that put all that nonsense [racism and sexism] into perspective: All the Women are White, All the Blacks are Men, But Some of Us are Brave. When I can't be brave, or forget how, I 'whistle a happy tune' and put on something outrageously red."
Janus Adams' courage and outrageously red choices allows her to continue fighting for the social underclass. Like Maya Angelou's poetry, Janus Adams' dedication to and pride in this underclass instills me with a strong sense of pride as a woman. I am proud to have a woman like Janus Adams changing the course of history by speaking for the unspoken.

The Humane Society of Yates County needs your help.
They discovered Monday someone took their donation dog house that was at the Trading Post in Keuka Park. Not only do customers put their change in there, but some of the waitresses put their tip money in that box to help out the animals.
As you can imagine, winter is especially hard for the Humane Society to lose any money, every little bit keeps our abandoned and neglected animals warm.
Please, if you know the person who did this, please ask them to bring it back...NO QUESTIONS ASKED!
Upon hearing the news of the Humane Society's donation dog house being stolen from the Trading Post at Keuka Park, WFLR's Wiffler is hoping you can help out his fellow four legged friends by donating some of your loose change to us here at WFLR. We will place an empty water jug in our front office at 30 Main Street, Dundee, and will leave it there until we can fill it up for Wiffler's buddies! Stop by and drop off your loose change for the Yates County Humane Society during our normal business hours of 8 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. and let's help turn a negative into a positive! On behalf of the staff at WFLR, Wiffler thanks you!!

Plan B: Jeff Karstens and Brian Burres
Karstens is the plan B for the Pirates' rotation.
Yesterday afternoon, the Pittsburgh Pirates had Jeff Karstens throwing four innings as the starter in a AAA game at Pirate City. Today, Brian Burres took the mound at McKechnie, throwing five innings. Manager Clint Hurdle said this afternoon that the Pirates are trying to stretch both pitchers out incase they need a plan B along the line. That plan B could be needed sooner, rather than later.
James McDonald is currently rehabbing from a side injury he sustained on March 11th. McDonald pitched a bullpen session today, and if he feels better tomorrow he will be scheduled to throw in a minor league game on Saturday. However, the season is getting closer, and there might not be enough time for him to get stretched out. In his la...

Rich & Nancy: Survey This
According to the papers, the Indiana State Legislature is back in session. This is neither good nor ill, just what was reported. Apparently they are only going to palaver for 30 days this go-around. This is a case of shorter being gooder and less likely to be iller.
The State Legislature getting together is a bit more worrisome than when the feds meet. The U.S. Congress, generally speaking, doesn't actually get a whole lot done which immediately or directly affects Brazil. Those state guys, though, can do a lot of good or ill in a really short period of time. What they do controls what the county, city, and school boards can do, how they have to do it, and why they can't raise the money needed to do those things.
So, in our mailboxes comes two politely worded requests for my opinion on what the legislature ought to be doing. One comes from a man I've always respected, State Senator Richard Bray. The second comes from my House Representative Nancy Michael.
Included in each mailing is a survey. Actually going to meetings (which we are often reminded good citizenship demands) is not something I'm real good at. So I try to make up for it by faithfully completing these surveys and returning them ASAP. I do this in spite of a firm conviction no one is ever influenced by these surveys. A belief enforced by years of political observation and boiler-plate responses received.
As Kay and I complete our surveys, a couple of questions come to mind: Why can't they save some money by just sending one? And, how come the questions asked on each survey cover such different topics -- do the two branches not work on the same problems?
Anyhow, thought it'd be a good time to create a survey of my own, and see if either Rich or Nancy responds.
Q. Couldn't Hoosiers get along with just one legislative "house?" Several states do it; and, with only 30 days to work with, can't we all just get along?
[ ] Sorry, makes too much sense
[ ] Goes against tradition, therefore politically impossible
[ ] There'd be nothing to talk about between New Years and High School Sectionals
Q. How about if every Representative and Senator was limited to introducing one new Bill -- in their lifetime? If we just kept sending the same bunch back, sooner or later there would be no one left to introduce anything.
[ ] After introducing a Bill to help themselves, who'd run for re-election?
[ ] But for the barrage of paper, people might know the legislature wasn't needed
[ ] Have to justify those surveys somehow
Q. What if we eliminated two laws for each new one passed?
[ ] Not even God really knows how many laws we have now
[ ] A lot of "sacred," but admittedly stupid, laws would be lost
[ ] At some point we'd be down to just the original 10

Amy 2/23
Posted in the Chicago Forum
#1 Feb 23, 2013
DEAR AMY: Im a 27-year-old black woman in graduate school. I have never been in any serious relationship, and am wondering if you have any advice on how to change this.
Im attracted to men of different races, but find it difficult to make connections to many black men. My family is from Africa, and I was raised in the suburbs (read: surrounded by white people).
Black men sometimes dont think Im black enough, since I didnt grow up in a black community and have different experiences being first-generation American. Men from other races dont seem particularly drawn to me, and at this point Im not really sure what to do.
Im introverted and dont open up very easily, although Ive been actively trying to change this. Ive also tried online dating on two very reputable dating Web sites, with no dates resulting from either.
I like myself and am trying to be my most authentic self, but am frustrated that no one special has ever come into my life. If you have any tips on how to change this, I would be very grateful.-- Chronically Single
DEAR SINGLE: You are thoughtfully analyzing this issue, which is a great start. And at the risk of oversimplifying, I think you could start by confiding in a good female friend, who might be able to give you some pointers that emphasize your best traits.
Maybe you should try a shorter (or longer or funnier or quirkier)me statement. But before you go full on into online dating, I would suggest taking advantage of the resources at the college, which you say has a diverse student population. Certainly you should embrace your background as a first-generation American as an asset that gives you interesting perspectives and intriguing narratives to use in conversation. Have you considered seeking out a social organization for fellow Africans, or other social organizations?
Join organizations that will take you outside your comfort zone. Use social settings to practice proactive flirting, interacting and being open to people from all sorts of backgrounds.
DEAR AMY: I have always valued family. My son married a young lady who treats us with very little respect. She has never cooked us a meal or purchased a gift for us. We try to see our grandchildren once a week. We travel an hour each way to stay for an hour or so.
They usually tell us to come over at 4 p.m. on Sunday and never invite us for dinner. Our son has made us dinner on the occasions she is gone.
I have also been told not to call or text her. She is a stay-at-home mom but all communication goes through my son. My son is a wonderful husband and father. He told me that he walks on eggshells. I know if I say anything she could restrict us further. Any advice?-- Grieving MIL
DEAR GRIEVING: If your son says he feels he is walking on eggshells, this is a sign that he might be in an abusive marriage. Abusers isolate their partners and restrict access to them. Abusers keep everyone (including children and their grandparents) off-kilter.
At this point, you and your husband should do everything you can to keep the door open. Keep going to the house and maintain contact with your son and the children as often as you can. Continue to emotionally support your son, and if you feel he is frightened (or if the situation seems to be deteriorating), you should urge him to see a lawyer.
DEAR AMY: I loved the letter from Joan. She wanted to take some money she was being given for her 50th birthday and spend it traveling to India.
I was a tour manager for over a decade, taking older people on trips all over the world. I cannot tell you how often I had people tell me they had saved their entire lives to travel, and then one of the spouses had passed away or was unable to physically make the trip to see and do all the things that had been dreamed about.
I took that vicarious lesson to heart.-- Tour Guide
DEAR GUIDE: The only readers advising against this trip were people who had never traveled. Thank you.

L1: You're black, and you're the descendent of recent immigrants from Africa. Your American experience is so different from that of black Americans who have been here for generations. Sadly, you live in a country where people see race first, almost always.
I don't think Amy's advice was too bad. I look forward to reading the comments.
And LW's parents get to use the phrase "African American" to describe themselves --(1) where they come from and (2) where they are now. All the other black americans who've been here for generations (likely longer than most white Americans)-- please drop this "African American" label. I refuse to use it. Ever.
L2: You sound ridiculous and sexist. Son walks on eggshells because of his parents, not his wife.
L3: I liked Amy's answer.

L1: At 27, I don't know how much help school will be. Find your interests, work at them either volunteer or otherwise and keep your eyes open. Having something in common is the greatest way to meet people. If there's an activity you like, join a club. That new friend you might meet just might have a guy that would be perfect for you. It's a win-win. Even if you don't meet the man of your dreams you will enrich your life.
L2: Never cooked you a meal or bought you something? You're way out of line. If that's how you value people no wonder you don't think much of your DIL. You don't say if YOU ever invited them over. I smell something funny here. Is your son walking on egg shells b/c of his wife or b/c of his parents?
L3: I've encouraged a young (mid-20s) woman in my office to travel and see things. She thought maybe she shouldn't spend the money. She makes plenty. Told her go now b/c once she has kids (she wants them) it'll be more difficult. She has since travelled locally and internationally and hasn't regretted it.

Me too. Americans who have been here for generations are simply Americans, not (whatever)-Americans because they have no connection to that culture IMO. Besides the (whatever) part describes your area of origin, as in where you originally came from, not where your however long ago ancestors came from. I don't describe myself as German or European or Polish or Mongolian (or about 700 other places)-American. I am American and I am a Californian torn from my place of origin and living in the rainy rainy place, period.
The husband, when asked "what" he is (read: not "where are you from?") he says "African-American." He's not black, he's ethnically Arab and Berber (and Italian but that's another story) but as Morocco is in Africa, he gets to say it I suppose. He does it to annoy people who are clueless enough to say "what are you?" What? Human? Seriously? If they ask where he's from he says "Morocco." <shrug>

Goddam America. But unless everyone wears a burka and sunglasses, I don't see how that's avoidable. But sometimes people notice gender first. Or age. Or that silly hat they're wearing...
Black was supposed to be less offensive than knee-grow, African American was supposed to be less offensive than black, but African American doesn't seem to make any sense, so we've gone back to black until we think of something better. As the world turns, I guess...

Well, a black american could have his/her "black" roots from the Caribbean or Brazil. Assuming that all black americans are from Africa is silly and wrong.

Also, I think "African American" was a way for black americans to reclaim part of their identity. I can trace my roots back to Ireland, circa 1820, and we can trace them in Ireland even further. For most black Americans, they can't trace back any farther than whenever their ancestors first became freed Americans. There's no written history for them to take it back farther --they don't know which part of Africa they come from unless they do DNA testing. And oral history is not much better for black americans -- rising out of slavery meant not talking about the past, and instead focusing on the future.

Exactly. Biologically speaking we are all H.sapiens and there is more diversity within a given "race" than there is between "races."
Disclaimer: Keeping in mind that "race" is an arbitrary social construction and I use it only as a means of being clear in my statement not as an endorsement in the incorrect notion of there being biologically distinct races.

The shift (in polite language) went from Negro to Black to African American. I don't recall it being an effort to reclaim their African identity so much as an affirmation that they were Americans, hyphenated Americans, like Irish, Italian, Japanese, etc.
To my recollection, the use of AA as a preferred self designation came about in the mid 1980's.
The effort to reclaim African identity occurred earlier, in the mid-late 60's when people like Malcolm X were dropping their surnames on the theory that they had originated from a slave owner, and that it was not possible to determine a surname or equivalent because of a lack of written records of the slave traders and because the original African societies from which the slaves were captured were pre-literate. That was also when dashikis and the use of kente cloth became fashionable.
However, I am a white chick and I will defer to anyone who is black who is in their 60's or older who would remember.

With no disrespect, Pfhooey. Biology aside, then term "race" is used to designate people who look a particular way. It is not a social construction; it is a visual descriptor. I admit all the rest of what you said, though.

*some* blacks prefer the AA term. Some do not. I'm not going to bounce back and forth between the two. One black person doesn't get to dictate what others are called.
And really, it comes down to two things:
(1) Black isn't offensive.
(2) I'm saying one syllable instead of six.

I haven't actually read the book, but from what I know about it, he's done some research into the inheritance of mDNA and separating us into different halogroups. That part in and of itself is pretty "standard" as far as mDNA or y-DNA.
I think the biggest issues with tracing DNA (of any kind) is that for the most part it has a limited viable amount of time to be able to be extracted from fossils and still be useable.
However, we (they, I am not a geneticist, I just play one on TV) can take modern DNA and be able to tell how old it is. For example *my* DNA is about 50 years old, but the DNA I inherited is much older and that age (it's actual inheritance age) can be ascertained by looking at specific genetic markers and when they showed up in the human population.
That said, as I havent actually read it, I can't say if it's good, bad, or whatever.

Yes and no.
I get what you're saying, but more often than not there is an idea of what someone is like when we see what they look like. Not necessarily you or me, or any given person, just the larger society as a whole. Like it or not, we have been enculturated into believing stereotypes (if only subconsciously) about certain groups (races if you prefer) which would be a social construct by definition.
Historically the concept of race is less than 200 years old, and is tied to the Victorian obsession with classifying everything into neat little boxes.
Franz Boas showed that there is nothing biologically real about race. There is nothing that we have identified as race that exists apart from our collective agreement, acceptance, and imposition of its existence.

thanks guys for posting , went to a BMW independent with the BMW software , cleared faults etc , took x5 for a spin drove the life out of it to see what new faults came up.
internal fault came up in the gearbox ,basically its looking for a gear and not finding it between first and second 3rd to fourth.
I was having real probliems in the morning before the oil heated up in the gearbox it was slipping badly in the lower gears , it was the plates internally slipping , I can only assume that when the oil heats up the expand somewhat making better contact.
anyhow it is going tomorrow to get gearbox reconditioned
thanks very much for your comments

Description: The MMA8452Q is a smart low-power, three-axis, capacitive MEMS accelerometer with 12 bits of resolution. This accelerometer is packed with embedded functions with flexible user programmable options, configurable to two interrupt pins. Embedded interrupt functions allow for overall power savings relieving the host processor from continuously polling data.
The MMA8452Q has user selectable full scales of ±2g/±4g/±8g with high pass filtered data as well as non filtered data available real-time. The device can be configured to generate inertial wakeup interrupt signals from any combination of the configurable embedded functions allowing the MMA8452Q to monitor events and remain in a low power mode during periods of inactivity.
Check out the related items below for our MMA8452Q Breakout Board!
Dimensions: 3 x 3 x 1 mm (QFN)
I have a (untested) breakout board for this. Email me for eagle files, etc…
I am interested. Let me know. Thanks.
A product i suggested has been stocked!
Standard Question: Is there a breakout board planned for this part? and will this be replacing the MMA7361 you currently stock?
breakout board is in the works. I'm not sure about the MMA7361, I can't remember if this is a direct replacement, or just another model. If anyone knows if the MMA7361 is EOL'd, let me know.
When will the breakout board be available? I made a breakout board by myself (very proud!) but it looks kind of crispy and I'm not sure if it works…
No idea really. It depends on how it goes in production and such. You never know until you go through and design it if it will work or not.
Why did you choose the MMA8452Q over the MMA8541Q? The only major difference seems to be that the 8452 lacks a FIFO buffer on the output, so the microcontroller it's connected to has to poll it more frequently to avoid losing data. The 8451 has a 32-sample FIFO with four modes. The 8451 also has slightly more resolution.
I'm trying to gather data from four different accelerometers and use them to play back sound. So far works great using the MP3 Player shield and one accelerometer, but no idea how to gather data from all four. I can jump the SA0 pin and do it that way, but that only get me 2 accelerometers and not four. They essentially work in groups of two. 2 for arms, 2 for legs. I just wanted to register when the legs move or arms move(not which one). Is there any way to combine the results from 2 accelerometers with the same address?
http://dsscircuits.com/i2c-multiplexer.html split your i2c bus. Either that or use a Microcontroller with two busses like an arduino Due or a beagleboard
I adapted the I2C library used in the example code to work with the new Arduino Leonardo which uses an ATMEGA32U4 instead of an ATMEGA328.
I've uploaded the changed i2c.h file to a bitbucket repository in case anyone else is interested in that: https://bitbucket.org/wizard23/arduinoleonardolibraries/src/39d52819baae/i2c.h
If you just replace the i2c.h from the above Example Code then it should work on the arduino Leonardo (or any other ATMEGA32U4 board)
The only thing I had to change was the definitions of WRITE_sda and READ_sda because that pin is on a different port on the ATMEGA32U4.
I used the sensor in my own design (thanks sparkfun for the eagle library (although I had to adapt it because the NC pins are not connected to the package and according to Freescale Application Note AN4077 you should connect dummy traces to the NC pins…)) and now I can already read the sensor values :)…thanks again to sparkfun for this awesome code example!
I am trying to increase the output data rate to 800Hz for this sensor but it doesn't seem to go beyond 10Hz. I have a logic analyzer connected to the interrupt pins to measure the interrupt generation rate. I am using the example code provided above, any ideas as to what could be going wrong or any similar experiences with this device?
I should have noticed the picture scaling this against a quarter. My GOD this thing is tiny! Just to get it connected I'm going to have to place it on a board with well under half a mm in accuracy in any given direction. I think I'll wait on that for a couple years 'till I think I'm competent enough to hotplate solder surface mount components. I think if you value your sanity you should wait for a breakout board.
still have that breakout Eagle files?
Can this package be soldered using gel flux, extended pads and drag soldering?
Just a note to Arduino users, Freescale's MMA845x series accelerometers won't work with the Wire library because these devices require the use of a repeated start.
Is there any (easy) way to use this accelerometer with arduino?
Yes. This I2C Master Librarywas written because of this very problem while trying to interface to an MMA8451Q.
No reviews yet.

Molly da Silva - Toronto ON, Canada - May 5, 2011
"I work for a company with international clients. I called to confirm the quality and contents of the gift basket, submitted an order on a Friday and it was delivered in Korea early Tuesday morning. Excellent communication through the whole process. They even called me to confirm that the credit card I used on the order was mine! "
Elizabeth - Ottawa, Canada - Dec 22, 2009
"Best Service Ever! Our son is in Spain for a semester and got quite sick - had to take himself to the hospital, get antibiotics, had no one to take care of him. So I found Gift Baskets Overseas online, ordered a healthy breakfast basket, paid with PayPal and crossed my fingers that it wasn't a scam. Not only is it legitimate, but when I didn't have a landline to give them for him they tracked one down (and sent it to me so I'd have it too) and when I gave them an incomplete address (because that's all I had), they tracked that down too. My son got his basket and I'm amazed that service like this still exists. Awesome, awesome, awesome. "

The supply of the iPhone 5 continues to improve as yield rates on the difficult-to-build handset reportedly have grown. This is a result of reduced costs and boosted profitability for Apple and its suppliers. According to Shaw Wu of Sterne Agee who checked with members of Apples overseas supply chain the yields on the iPhone 5 are still improving. The progress comes as estimated shipping times from Apples online store have improved to between two and four days, while the handset is currently set to launch in more than 50 countries this month.
Availability of the iPhone 5 continues to improve despite what Wu referred to as robust demand for the device. He expects Apple will sell 47.3 million units in the December quarter, a forecast slightly greater than market consensus of between 45 million and 46 million iPhones sold during the holiday quarter.
News of improved production of the iPhone 5 also prompted Wu to increase his gross margin forecast for Apples current quarter. According to him, Apple will achieve margins of 38.5% during the three-month frame, up from a previous prediction of 38%. Apple was said to have faced a number of issues in manufacturing the redesigned iPhone 5. An official with Apple assembly partner Foxconn previously said the iPhone 5 was the most difficult device it has ever been tasked with building.
Although supply of the iPhone 5 is now said to be improving, Apple hasnt been able to catch up with demand for the iPad mini. Wu said his research found that iPad mini demand is stronger than expected, and tats believed to be the main reason as to why lead times remain at two weeks. Apple is also facing issues with its redesigned iMac lineup as the new ultra-thin design has also resulted in manufacturing yields. As a result, Mac sales for the December quarter are expected to be lighter than expected, thanks to limited iMac availability as well as what he calls minor cannibalization from the iPad and iPad mini.
Overall, Wu expects Apples holiday will result in $54.6 billion in revenue and $13.70 in earnings per share, higher than consensus expectations of $54.4 billion and $13.30. For the fiscal year of 2013, he predicts Apple will earn $193.4 billion in revenue and $49.50 in earnings per share, also higher than market consensus of $194 billion and $49.28.

Last night, the Wings were very bad, and it was evident from the first inning that both starting pitcher Jason Miller, and the entire Red Wing offense didn't have it.
"It's the first time I saw Miller not attack the strike zone," Manager Stan Cliburn said. "He was aiming the ball. He couldn't get his breaking ball over."
Miller's night was done after 3.1 painful innings, in which he allowed seven hits, five earned runs and five walks (one with the bases loaded). He struck out no one.
Meanwhile, the Wings' offense sputtered all evening thanks to a very nice effort from Justin Germano, who pitched in front of a rather quiet crowd of 10,279, which included some 60 family members and friends. (Germano's father is from Rochester, so at least a few in attendance were happy with the outcome.)
The Wings only run came in the ninth, as they avoided yet another shutout. The game ended, rather fittingly, with Thomas Watkins getting thrown out at second base trying to advance on Andres Torres' sac fly. All in all, it was a gruesome night for the Red Wings, and certainly not a good start to what shapes up to be a very difficult eight game home-stand.

At this time of year, with NFL free agency just three days away, rumors swirl about team interested in certain players. Sometimes these potential targets are smokescreens, with teams purposefully leaking false information in an effort to mislead the rest of the league. In that way, they keep their real intentions close to the vest.
Yet many times, these players of interest are truly targets for said reported teams. Such is the case with the Chicago Bears and their search for an offensive guard, arguably the weakest position on the roster last season.
This year, for the first time in league history, the NFL allowed a three-day negotiating period where clubs and agents may legally begin talks before the official start of free agency (Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET). As soon as that negotiating window opened, the rumors began flying. First reported by ESPN is that the Bears are interested in guard Brandon Moore, who has played his entire 10-year career with the New York Jets.
Moore is as consistent as they come. According to Pro Football Focus (PFF), he has ranked seventh or better amongst NFL offensive guards in each of the past five seasons. Last year, his overall performance graded fifth best in the league at his position. On top of his excellent play, he's also extremely durable, having started every game for the Jets since 2005.
As a run blocker, Moore (6-3, 305) can maul. PFF graded him the fifth best run blocker in the league in 2012. He was also Top 20 as a pass blocker, so there aren't many holes to his game.
The biggest concern with Moore is his age – he turns 33 in June. He has played some of his best football the last few years, so he still has plenty left in the tank, but he's not a long-term option. For the short-term though, Moore would help solidify the Bears' offensive line.
Let's look at a few plays that demonstrate his ability on the field.
Pass Block
Our first play comes from Week 15 last year. The Jets line up in shotgun on a third-and-long. Moore, No. 65, is in his usual right guard spot.
At the snap, Moore drops in between the rushing tackle and end. He keeps his focus on the interior rusher, throwing in his big paw to keep the defender at bay. Notice the low center of gravity, balance and awareness.
When he sees the outside rusher collapsing the pocket, Moore turns and focuses his attention to his right. He's able to get a hand on the defensive end, which gives Mark Sanchez a huge window through which to throw. Imagine what Jay Cutler could do with that much space in front of him.
Run Block I
Our second play comes from Week 10. It's a Wildcat run with Tim Tebow in the backfield. The run will be a counter left, with Moore pulling behind the line and leading the play.
As you see, Moore easily gets outside, locates the defensive end, maneuvers his body to the defender's outside shoulder and drives him inside. Tebow has all the room he needs to turn the corner. This play demonstrates Moore's agility and awareness when asked to pull down the line.
Run Block II
Our final play shows Moore's power inside. This is an offset-left formation, yet the Jets will run the ball to the weak side, behind the center and right guard.
Moore crashes down on the defensive tackle and absolutely pancakes him into the ground. It's an example of Moore's drive and explosiveness at the point of attack.
As the film shows, despite his age, Moore is playing some of the best football of his career. His presence on the inside of Chicago's offensive line would go a long way toward curbing the team's long-standing front-five issues.
The problem with Moore, beyond the fact he'll be 33 at the start of next season, is his potential price tag. He made $4 million each of the past four years and will likely be looking for that same amount going forward. The Bears are roughly $3.9 million under the salary cap, so to sign Moore they would be using up all of that cash. The club will soon make a few cuts and will try to extend or restructure a few existing deals to free up more room, yet there won't be a surplus of money to spend on the open market this year.
A player like Moore, who would vastly improve Chicago's offensive line, would eat up a lot of money. Considering his age, if the Bears are going to invest heavily in a guard, it might be better to pursue to some of the comparable free agents, guys that are younger and would bring much more return on investment.
If the Bears are able to pry Moore away from New York, he will definitely give the team what it needs in terms of push and protection (he has allowed just five sacks the past five seasons) from the right guard position. But he's a pricy Band Aid whose production could begin to slip at any time in the near future. He might be too risky and too costly to end up in the Windy City.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Ś Tom Brady opened his eyes wide, roared and shook his upper body in celebration.
The cool quarterback went a little crazy.
Brady had just thrown a touchdown pass to Rob Gronkowski and jogged to the end zone. Face-to-face with the excitable tight end, he out-Gronked Gronk.
ōIt was a very emotional time in the game,ö Brady said with a laugh. ōI kind of lost my mind.ö
The Denver Broncos had dominated last Sunday nightÆs meeting of division leaders, leading 24-0 at halftime. But GronkowskiÆs catch on the 6-yard pass over the middle made it 24-21 in the final minute of the third quarter, and the New England Patriots went on to win 34-31 in overtime.
Why not show some emotion?
ōHe always gets pumped up on that play,ö Gronkowski said. ōIt got the juice flowing for everyone.ö
Calm and cerebral when he walks to the line of scrimmage to size up the defense, BradyÆs fire emerges on big plays that work for or against the Patriots. A stickler for perfection, he shows his frustration when he or a teammate falls short.
Such as when rookies ran wrong routes or dropped passes in the second game of the season, a 13-10 win over the New York Jets in which the Patriots were blanked in the second half.
Brady raised his hands to his helmet in frustration. He lifted his head, mouth wide open and his arms stretched in front of him as if pleading with his receiver after an incompletion. While sitting on the bench, he screamed at teammates.
ōI have to do a better job with my body language,ö he said the next day. ōI wouldnÆt say itÆs a real strong point of mine right now.ö
Since then, some of his language has been directed at officials.
When they waved off a defensive pass interference penalty on the last play of a 24-20 loss to the Carolina Panthers, Brady walked off the field beside referee Clete Blakeman, unleashing what a lip reader would interpret as off-color remarks.
When pass interference wasnÆt called as rookie receiver Kenbrell Thompkins was hit just as BradyÆs pass arrived in overtime against the Broncos, the quarterback punched the air several times while he ran toward side judge Mike Weatherford.
ōHe loves this job and he wants to win, and I think that intensity can come on in different situations,ö offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said, ōbut I donÆt feel that itÆs any different this year than itÆs been in the past.ö
The exuberance was there in his first season as a starter in 2001 in the ōTuck Ruleö playoff win over the Oakland Raiders. Brady had just run for a touchdown when he spiked the ball hard Ś just as Gronkowski does now Ś and tumbled awkwardly.
ōNo athleticism then either,ö Brady said Wednesday. ōThat still hasnÆt improved.ö
It was there in the 2007 victory over Pittsburgh after Steelers safety Anthony Smith ōguaranteedö a win over the unbeaten Patriots. Brady ran toward Smith after throwing a touchdown pass against him and started jawing Ś facemask to facemask.
ōIÆve always seen him energetic,ö defensive end Rob Ninkovich said. ōSince `09, since I got here, heÆs always been fired up out there. Maybe itÆs just with the last couple games being televised and so close that people see him running around screaming. But heÆs always screaming since IÆve been here.ö
At 36 and in his 14th season, BradyÆs intensity hasnÆt waned. And it rubs off on teammates.
ōHeÆs just bringing positive energy,ö Gronkowski said. ōIt gets everyone motivated to keep working hard and keep grinding every week.ö
Ninkovich agrees that the animation of the teamÆs leader is contagious.
ōIt just gets guys going because you donÆt want a guy out there making a big play and just having no emotion,ö he said.
In practice, Brady is ōsubdued,ö Ninkovich said, but ōif he makes a bad throw, he gets more angry with himself.ö
The Patriots are 8-3 with five games left Ś none against teams with winning records Ś and lead the AFC East by three games. TheyÆve won the division title nine times in 10 years, missing only in 2008 when Brady suffered a season-ending knee injury in the opener.
So expect to see his passion again in this seasonÆs playoffs.
ōHeÆs always been that way,ö said left guard Logan Mankins, who has protected Brady since 2005. ōHe likes to head-butt guys every now and then.ö
Julian Edelman was on the receiving end of one of those helmet collisions after catching a touchdown pass against the Broncos.
ōYouÆre working hard, youÆre competing and, most of all, youÆre having fun,ö Brady said, ōespecially when you do things good. You have to have fun.ö
He sure did in the end zone with Gronkowski last Sunday night.
ōI donÆt really remember what I said. I was pretty fired up,ö Brady said.
But losing his mind?
Did that ever happen before?
ōUm, yeah, probably,ö Brady said. ōItÆs hard to recall all those experiences. WeÆve been in a lot of big games and I get excited when we score. I always have.ö

Just checked in. First, a weather report: around 60 degrees, cloudy and sprinkly. Bah. But who is here for sun bathing, anyway?
REVIEW: Read Claudia Puig's critique of I'm Still Here
Now, the news. It has been reported that an imposter has been showing up at red carpets at the festival posing as Joaquin Phoenix, whose I'm Still Here doc screened for the press today and plays for the public on Friday. Now, here is the thing. There has been no red carpets yet. The first fancy premieres start tonight.
Also, the film's distributor, Magnolia, disavows any involvement in these Borat-like shenanigans.
In any case, an entity know as Nuclear Lounge Media put out a release saying director Casey Affleck and his team are aware of this charlatan and an official statement to the press will be made on Friday "between 8:45pm and 9:15pm on Balmuto Street, just outside the entrance of the Varsity Theatre at Bay and Bloor, before the Gala Premiere of Phoenix's new movie I'm Still Here."
I am far from this intersection right now and Google is of no help. But my guess is a new club named Nuclear Lounge just might be opening near by. - Susan Wloszczyna

This is a discussion on Savage 10/110 .300 Win Mag within the Rifles forums, part of the Sniping Related category; I have been looking (ok more like... salivating) at a Savage Model 10/110 HS Precision in .300 Win Mag I was wondering in any of ...
I have been looking (ok more like... salivating) at a Savage Model 10/110 HS Precision in .300 Win Mag
I was wondering in any of you guys had one and what you thought of it.
What you like/dislike... other similar options for the same $$$$ ??
Any comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Adam, you are absolutely right. There are other cartridges that will do the same thing the .300 win mag will do, some even better.
I owned a Rugger 77 and a Rem 700 Sendero in the past, and I really liked the flat shooting, power, and accuracy this cartridge delivered. After I sold the Sendero I really regretted it (I needed the money at the time).
There are a couple of dead Oregon Elk somewhere out there thanks to the Rugger rifle, and a cheap bushnell 3-9 scope !! :-)
So, I've wanted another .300 for a long time....and now that I am enjoying the fun fun fun of long range shooting, I thought I would consider owning one again.
I think it's almost more of a "want" than a "need". To be honest, given the ranges I frequent, there is nothing my .308 wont do better and cheaper. Most of the time, a 500 yards range, sometimes, on given occasions, up to 1000 yards...
(im not saying I can hit much past 600 yards, anyways... :-)
Now, one great point that you brought up and I didnt think about....were the cheap Savage magazines instead of AICS magazines. This on its own is almost a deal breaker...
Like Cheaptrick said...I just love the cartridge.
The Savage 110 HS Precision is a nice rifle. The stocks are top notch in my opinion, i have a couple and love them. Waiting on some extra money to Get another HS stock for my .300 WM. It made my day when they started making this stock to fit a long action. If you don't like the stock mags, i guarantee you can sell the stock bottom metal and mags real easy. Then go to accurate mag and get there bottom metal and mags. The AI mags also work in accurate mags bottom metal. Do not think you will be disappointed in the .300 WM, Winchester Brass, H1000 powder and either 175grn. 190, SMK's or 178 grn or 208 grn. Amax's work great.......Danny
PDM....I still have the reloading dies for the .300 win mag....
I got decent, well under an inch, groups with the Sendero back a few years ago with the 190 SMK and H1000.
Adam, the rifle/scope plus redoing the action, new barrel and gunsmith will kill my budget. One reason why this particular rifle caught my eye
was that it already came with the HSP stock at a competitive price.
My Sako M75 shot most all 180gr. pills wonderfully using IMR 4350. Lot of friends eifles liked RL 22, but my Sako didn't.
"I can't quite get over the belted case..." I keep hearing this type of thing but if you reload I can't understand why?
The belt only headspaces on factory ammo or if you don't set your dies up properly. On your brass's first firing it headspaces on the belt (unless you force it not to but I won't get into that here) after that it will headspace on the datum line of the shoulder as per any normal rimless case if you choose for it to do so. The belief that the belt induces an excessive headspace like condition is in my opinion false, the belt is superfluous in most circumstances though it has some small pluses as well as some small negatives the reality is it is mostly neither here nor there. From max SAAMI factory barrels to turned-neck BR barrels I haven't seen a belted case as a make or break thing, not even of significant consideration (though it can be for wild-cating). If anyone has any compelling arguments why a belt is a major advantage/disadvantage in a standard chambering I would like to hear them.
Ahhhhhhhh, interesting. Man, I did not know all this !! So, if I buy let's say a box of factory ammo...
I will need to shoot all the rounds, basically getting the right headspace formed, and then when I reload my fired brass, I will already have the right head spacing??
Is this correct??

Lifted (with permission) from comments below:
If Dr. Maggie Atkinson thinks local authorities should check that the materials used by home educated children are "age appropriate", as she said she used to check in Birmingham, then she is also out of touch with government education strategy, which emphasises 'stage not age'.
How do the LAs propose to determine what stage each home educated child is at? Even if they determine it once, it is recognised by experts in child development that children do not develop in a nice even fashion, and intellectual growth spurts and lags occur at different ages in different children, as well as being different for different academic skills. They'll have to determine it every time they see a child, for each aspect of academic study, before they even start to think about whether the materials the child has are 'suitable'.
On a side point, how are they going to find out whether a child who is studying A level and undergraduate material (online, for free :-)) has learnt what they 'should' have done over the last 12 months? Are they going to bring in Uni staff? Are all LA inspectors competent to assess attainment at A level in all subjects? Perhaps they are assuming that every home educated child is either over 16 years old or goes to college to study at this level, but if so, they are wrong, yet again.
I wait with bated breath for the next installment of this nonsense ....

Another great example of why the 'proposals' are unworkable.
I wonder, will inspectors be checking the entire contents of the indexes of Google?

Random Plait Sock Field Green
In the random plait knitting technique, each "end" or strand of yarn is knit into the socks randomly based on the mechanical vibrations of the machine. This creates a stunning variegated effect as each end of yarn is a different color. Also, using three distinct ends of cotton means using more yarn - in effect a 3-ply knit. This creates a relatively substantial sock that is both warm and well-cushioned for boots or sneakers.
- Field - a mix of olive, military green, and linen
- Knit in Pennsylvania at a family owned mill using recycled cotton yarns spun in both the USA and Spain
