I've always liked TomToms and the latest generation is the best yet.
The big difference on the latest Go range — including the 500 model tested, with its attractive, round-edged five-inch screen — is that to get live traffic and up-to-date speed camera data, you tether it to your smartphone.
You now also get free lifetime map updates, although you have to pay £24.99 a year for speed camera data. Menus are accessed not by tapping the map but an icon which, as you enter your location, simultaneously gives a choice of address or points of interest (without having to know which precise town the POI is in).
The user interface has been simplified so, once you've acclimatised, it's easier to use. It's hardly cheap at £189.99 but it's nicely made and works a treat.
They're British, they're colourful, they're bendy and they're perfect for propping things up in your car.
Designed by Breffo, the Spiderpodium is an ingenious, versatile hand-sized frame ideal for gripping and mounting your smartphone almost anywhere including, possibly, on an air vent on your dashboard. With its integral sticky-out legs, it can hold a phone in portrait or landscape position. Just as useful for tablet owners is the bigger stand that does a good job with iPad-style gadgets. Range starts from £14.95. More at breffo.comReuse content


text: I like the heavier bullets and carry Federal HST or Speer Gold Dot 180 gr in my G27. Todays ammunition is not speed dependant for expansion so I wouldnt worry about that. When I researched the different ammunition I found both the HST and GD to be very consistent in performance, with excellent penetration and expansion. This does not mean that there are not other good rounds available, any of the major manufacturers make some pretty good ammunition, Winchester PDX1, Remington Golden Sabre are some good examples. I just prefer the Federal and Speer in all calibers. There is a guy on you tube Tnoutdoors9 that does ammunition testing, he has some good videos for all the different calibers and bullet weights, this might help answer some of your questions.

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by Lucy25, Sep 12, 2012.
Let the skating babies rumors begin! Congrats to the Kween.
When's the wedding? When's the wedding?!!
Now Dick Button can sing "Mi-chelle, my Pell!"
Congrats to the happy couple!
Finally !!!! I;ve been waiting for this for a Loong Timeeee
congrats to the KWEEEEN !!!!
Awww Michelle Quite emotional at this news. Seriously it seems only 2 minutes ago she was doing this!
Congratulations to Michelle and Clay (but for the love of the skategods pleeeease keep your name Michelle. You're a living legend as the Kweeeen not the Pelllllllllll
I'm so proud of what she has done in her life, and she's still so young. They are going to have some seriously over-achieving kiddies that's for sure! What a woman!!
Can you even imagine the guest list?????
She was just a baby.
So will we see Danny walking her down the aisle? Or will Michelle opt for a civil ceremony?
This MUST be telecast. Must, must, must. I'd be will to do 'pay per view'!!!
Or maybe Icenetwork.com will do the honors?
Guessing it will have two presidents/wives, Washington folks, military, skating, athletes, perhaps some school friends.... Or maybe just family? Wish I could go.
Wishing them both the very best!
anyone have a picture of how Clay Pell looks like
A link to a head shot of Clay Pell (2011-12 White House fellows list) was posted on the first page of this thread.
Here's another: http://www.golocalprov.com/lifestyle/ris-clay-pell-engaged-to-michelle-kwan/
Wow! Congratulations to the the Kween and the future Mr. Kwan!
Did Clay get on his knees to Danny? We want the YouTube video, please!
Not sure how I missed seeing this earlier today, but ....
Congratulations, Michelle and Clay! Wishing them both much happiness!
Congrats to the Kween and her man!
I wish, afterall she really is a royalty! I'll pay to see those tears of joy at her wedding.
Congrats to the Kween... and the groom! Whoever this Pell guy is he better treat the Kween right or else..... I wish them much happiness.
Phil Hersh just tweeted that Michelle texted him and said there is no wedding date yet.
Congrats to Michelle & Clay! Love that he was in the U.S. Coast Guard I have a son in the USCG now!
I think if it was up to Michelle, it would be a low-key affair. Wouldn't surprise me if we heard about the wedding after-the-fact! (Assuming Mr. Kwan is a low-key kinda guy ...)
CIA background = low-key presence
So happy for Michelle and her fiance! The Kween of Hearts has at last found someone who won hers.
When I read about Clay Pell in the other FSU thread that mentioned MK and he were dating, I had a feeling Clay was a keeper! The fact they have shared values, goals and equally astonishing accomplishments speaks volumes. And then when LOVE blooms, I guess it does make everything all so simple and so right. Congrats to Michelle and her Man.
Ma Belle, Michelle Kwan Pell. Sounds golden to me.
Re being able to see the wedding... I WISH. Michelle and Clay are obviously both low-key and family-oriented so maybe there will be a few pics released to the press, but I seriously doubt tv cameras. Wouldn't it be wonderful tho' for some fortunate long-time MKF fans to be invited. The guest list will probably also include close skating buds like Brian B, Evan, Vera, and perhaps Kristi, Dick Button, Peggy Fleming, Rafael Artunian, Scott Williams, Lori Nichol and Frank Carroll. Our Michelle moves in a very different world these days tho' far beyond skating.
There are close-ups of Clay Pell on the Internet (just google Michelle now and an image of Clay in a tux also appears under Images ) I think they are an attractive, not to mention charming, accomplished and down-to-earth couple. They are so low-key, I haven't seen any pics of them together yet.
Doesn't he look a lot like Nicholas Cage in the "Guarding Tess" movie where he portrayed a Secret Service agent?
As a Kwan fan, I wish I could be there to see it too. But that's just the momentary fan giddiness in me. Michelle generally keeps her private life private, with little fanfare. I think a magazine article with some pics of the wedding is about the most we fans can expect. So the rational part of me is fine with that. I am happy with just the knowledge that she's happy.
Congratulations to the Kween
I'm really happy for her <3 Congratulations Michelle and your future husband!!
What wonderful news!!
Congratulations to Michelle and Clay and may they be blessed w/nothing but happiness!!
Clay in tux:
http://newportseen.com/archived-news/governors-ball-2010/ scroll far down
MK tidbit -- re the Seinfeld joke she loves, which is very revealing about her nerves re public speaking:
I seriously doubt the DWTS thing will ever happen. Running for public office, or either campaigning for her husband might just come first.
Another engagement news blurb with accompanying photo. I love Michelle in that dress (worn to WH State dinner in January 2011).
Double ETA:
Found a link on MKF to a photo of Michelle and Clay together!!! The person who discovered it came about it randomly in an alumni publication:
http://web.salve.edu/news/rfn/archive/Vol39no1Summer12.pdf (scroll down to page 40)
They do indeed look good together (even with the third person in the photo).
AND a vid on youtube showing People mag photos, including the ring!
So very happy for her. She is someone you can't help but admire. Her biggest dream may have just come true.
Lucky people. Congratulations!
This is wonderful news. I wish all the best to Michelle and Clay.
This year has been a wonderful one for Michelle; USFS Hall of Fame, World Hall of Fame and now her engagement.
edited to add:
Posted on Michelle Kwan Forum a video with the ring.
Beautiful piece of ice!

excellent cover!
These covers are the best! I used them when I cloth diapered my first and I used them daily. I was pretty rough on my diapers too, I washed frequently in too hot of water and dried on high heat. They stood up well to my abuse. I am now using them on my 2nd and 3rd babies. These awesome covers will have a lot of life left in them when I am done and they go to a new home :)

Vice President Joe Biden, along with a few other politicians, is furious at actions of Wikileaks and its founder, Julian Assange. He raised the difference between Assange having some stranger dump the papers in his lap versus his effort to collaborate with a member of the US military in order to secure the famous leaked documents. "I would argue that he is a high-tech terrorist." These days, the term, "terrorist" is readily employed to describe actions of someone you believe acted incorrectly. Just about every definition of the word, "terrorist" links it to action by an individual or group which direct violence against others in order to secure achievement of their goals. Many cite actions in which an individual employs violence against innocent people in order to force those in power to alter policy.
Julian Assange might be guilty of numerous crimes, but he does not fit the definition of "terrorism." He has never tried to force any group, nation or individuals to adhere to his views. He published information–that is all. If anyone is to blame it is the individual who wrote something in an email that he regrets writing. Enough of terrorism, deal with those working in the diplomatic corps.

I got this pack from a fellow member here some time ago (thanks Charles) and went to work on it about 3 weeks ago. I'm fairly sure it is a "Bradley Fett" kit. It is Vac formed plastic and resin. This sucker came in over 18 PIECES and it was very difficult to get all the parts to fit together right. So. 100 % screen accurate? No. But pretty darn close in my opinion. It will have hooks shortly, as soon as I order them. Feel free to comment or complain.
As you can see there were sooooo many gaps and joints that needed to be filled. I've never done so much gluing, bondo and sanding on one project.
Most of the resin pieces that came in the kit. Some in pretty bad shape, some broken. Again, lots of sanding and bondo.
I epoxy'd in 1" PVC caps into the thrusters so a long piece of piping could be inserted thru the body and hold the thrusters in tandem.
Missle portion done. Colors are boxcar red, chrome silver, black and grimy black.
All base colors applied. I was getting worried because it looked so "tuti-fruiti" without any dirt. Colors are light blue, boxcar red, flat white, Up armor yellow and black..
Here's where I am today. Weathered with chrome silver, grimy black and rust. The back cut out is held in place with some strong magnets so the inside can still be accessed. Missle and thrusters are removeable.

sump pump
my house has a sump barrel in the basement with a pipe to the outside when in rains or I water the yard water will start coming in to a level just above the pipe. I have in the past used a sump pump to drain it. It has never flooded and the question I have do I need to remove the water or is it helping or hurting the foundation to have the water there. In the winter after I drain it it usually stays empty till spring.
You did not describe the type of foundation you have. A properly built poured concrete or concrete block foundation on properly prepared soil is not adversely affected by groundwater which is on both sides of the wall. If the foundation is acting as a retaining wall, and the groundwater level is higher on one side than the other (this is rare), then you can have unbalanced pressure which can be a serious problem.
Normally you only remove groundwater from the sump if the groundwater level is close to the basement floor level. This is not to protect the foundation, but rather to keep your basement dry. A typical float setting is to turn the pump on when the water level in the sump gets within 6 inches of the top of the basement floor.

Everywhere you look in the tech sector right now complaints are building that we are in a period of evolution not revolution, nothing really excites us anymore. Arguably the same can be said of the new Neato 'XV-25' robot vacuum, a follow up to the Neato XV-15, but - much as the iPhone 3G was to the original iPhone - it feels like the mass market realisation of a revolutionary initial breakthrough.
Neato XV-25 Design
None of which you'll expect when you take the Neato XV-25 (called the XV-21 in the US) out the box. The Neato XV-25 is the spitting image of the XV-15. It retains the ingenious arch shape (the corners are for corners, the curves allow it to turn anywhere) and the build materials are still a little cheap looking with a fetish for plastics and two tone colour finishes. It looks like a Super Nintendo was squashed under the heel of a giant horse.
This is a problem. Compared to the slick lines and finish of the iRobot Roomba 780, for example, the Neato XV-25 looks like the brandless knock-off you'd find in an unwanted catalogue dropped through your mailbox. When you get to the technology inside, however, this is a huge disservice. The same can be said of the charger which, while conveniently flat for positioning against a wall, is essentially a hollow plastic shell which houses a power brick.
There are things to like, however: the inclusion of an LCD display makes programming daily and weekly cleaning schedules a doddle – especially compared to the Roomba range which mysteriously continues to ignore them – and removing dirt is simple: just pull out the collection box (indicated by the red handle). At 33 x 32.7 x 10.1cm the Neato XV-25 is also fairly compact, though it is heavy at 5.9Kg – something you'll notice when it runs over hard floors.
Neato XV-25 Features
Love or hate the look of the Neato XV-25, however, what has come to define Neato's robot vacuums (and redefine them in the sector) is how they go about their business. Neato was only formed back in 2009 and didn't release its first product until 2010, but what got investors hot under the collar was the SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) technology at their heart. Unlike so-called 'bump bots' which seem to take an almost random approach to cleaning, SLAM robot vacuums calculate their every move.
What SLAM does is build maps of an environment while simultaneously keeping track of its location within them. The theory is it almost never needs to bump into any surface and it will clean logically: first by tracing the corners, then cleaning the rest of the room in long strips. The whole approach is somewhat akin to how a farmer ploughs a field.

Robot Vacuum Cleaner
I've had a Roomba 560 for the last 3 years and have absolutely LOVED it.
The amount of dust that it picked up from what appeared to be a clean
floor everyday always amazed me. But, when I tripped across an article
about NEATO I got intrigued by what was described as the precision of
its navigation system because while love my Roomba, its random banging
around was beginning to irritate me. Sometimes it would clean the same
room 3X and miss entire areas of the house and when it bangs into stuff
it does so with a particular harshness. I overlooked all that
justifying that is it after all a just crude robot which does a good job
of sucking stuff up.
I bought a NEATO XV-21 to try out and immediately said goodbye to my beloved Roomba who quickly became a distant memory.
The Neato's Navigation in a word is "Phenomenal" It's precise, never
cleans the same area twice and with the firmware upgrade, the navigation
around corners is stunningly good. Because it's so good at knowing
where it is, where it was, and where it needs to go it cleans the whole
house in about 3/4 of the time Roomba used to cover the same spots
NOISE: The only concern I had with making this purchase
was the reported noise volume of the Neato. I read lots of posts,
reviews and watched a ton of YouTube Vids. Some even compared Roomba to
Neato and all of them showed Neato being slightly more noisy but it was
just marginal. I watch one Vid that showed Roomba at 78 Decibels and
Neato at 83. The story that none of that data can tell is what kind of
noise it is. The Roomba to me was always LOUD. Now that I've got
NEATO, Roomba was WAY LOUDER. Roomba has really noisy mechanical
mechanical. The motors in the wheels are produce really irritating and
loud whining noise in addition to the vacuuming sounds - but I kind of
put up with it jutifying that it was part of the package and that it
needed these motors to do its job. The NEATO on the other hand does
generate noise but it is a much softer noise - it's the sound of airflow
socking in and blowing out but the motors that drive it are far
quieter. On a decibel meter it may show a higher decibel count but my
wife and I both agree that the NEATO is far quieted and the sound it
does produce is far more ear friendly.
Overall, my wife and I
both agree this was a very worthwile upgrade so put ROOMBA online and
she was sold in minutes. I can't imagine selling our now found friend
NEATO Mosquito who we have nick named "Skitter".
I have an xv 21 neto vac which i now hate the stupid thing quit after ramming its way out from under a desk and now the display is out and this is the second machine iv'e had and it started acting strange and bumping into chairs and getting stuck in open places for no reason I'm taking this thing back to bed bath and beyond maybe they will replace it a waste of good money i could have used to it pay for a rainbow vac which is the best ..
How it works:
I love my Neato XV21 and am now only more blown away by Neato's service. Elsie (what we lovingly call our XV21) started giving me errors and after a few e-mails, Neato has replaced my old model with the new XV25. Keep in mind I live in South Africa. They have no stores here. They simply listened (well read) my problem, we tried an option or two and then they shipped me a replacement. I was totally blown out of the water when I did not receive an XV21, but the upgraded XV25. No cost, I just mail the old one back in a pre-paid courier box.
I did extensive research on robotic vacs - living on a farm with 2 German Sheppard, two cats and three horses added with the (ab)normal amount of dust of a farm . . . well I needed something with sucking power :) , not just something to move the dust and pet-hair around. This seemed the only viable option in all the reviews.
The Neato has more than satisfied my expectations. One of the best features is that it's design is so simple. Nothing can really break with normal use and nothing can get stuck in complicated places, like pethair. It works, it returns to it's station and recharges, then goes on where it left off. It takes up to 3 recharges to clean my house. (We live in a renovated barn, which is huge)
It does get stuck, cables trip it up, dog food chunks get stuck in the brush, but you solve the problem when it asks you, ever so politely to help, and it goes on it's way again.
Brilliant!!! Love my Neato, makes my housework so much less.
Oh, I've written an essay and I just wanted to comment. ;)

Canadian government promises balanced budget law, sees free trade with EU
By David Ljunggren and Randall Palmer
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada's Conservative government on Wednesday promised to introduce legislation that will require balanced budgets except during economic crises, and renewed a pledge to balance its books by 2015.
It also said it would soon wrap up free trade talks with the European Union, and announced that Prime Minister Stephen Harper would travel to Brussels on Thursday "with the goal of concluding the ... negotiations."
The Conservatives, who portray themselves as the only party capable of leading Canada through tough economic times, said they would cut government spending, sell off some federal assets and trim the public service.
The Conservatives made the announcement in a major policy speech designed to relaunch their mandate ahead of an election in October 2015. The party is trailing in the polls after a protracted scandal over Senate expenses.
"Our government will introduce balanced-budget legislation. It will require balanced budgets during normal economic times, and concrete timelines for returning to balance in the event of an economic crisis," said the speech, which gave no details.
Canada is one of a handful of countries with a prized AAA rating from leading agencies, and Ottawa's promise to make balanced budgets a key part of its policy stands in stark contrast with the acrimonious debates on U.S. debt financing.
U.S. Senate leaders announced a deal on Wednesday to end a political crisis that partially shut down the federal government and brought the world's biggest economy close to a debt default, but it will only be a temporary solution that sets up the prospect of another showdown.
The Canadian government repeated a campaign pledge that once the budget is balanced it would provide greater tax relief for families, and it also said it would look at ways to cut taxes for small business. Continued...

Kolkata: Continuing to lambast the poor practice facilities at the Calcutta Cricket and Football Club Ground, England coach Duncan Fletcher on Sunday said that his team's preparations were being badly hampered by the sub-standard facilities made available to them."We have come here to compete but one thing is very, very unfortunate. We are disappointed and frustrated by the practice facilities given to us," Fletcher told reporters after a practice session at the CCFC in Kolkata."The conditions at the ground are not conducive for proper practice sessions. The facilities are not up to international standards and it is affecting our preparations," he said.The visitors had complained of poor practice facilities at the venue on the very first day on Saturday and had requested the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) to allow them to workout at the Eden Gardens instead. But the CAB turned down their request citing security reasons. "The least we can expect is a practice facility of international standard, but it is not the case here. We have been asking permission to practice at the Eden, but our request has been turned down," he lamented. PTI

A new biological treatment could help dairy cattle stave off uterine diseases and eventually may help improve food safety for humans, a University of Florida study shows.
Kwang Cheol Jeong, an assistant professor in animal sciences and UF's Emerging Pathogens Institute, examined cattle uterine illnesses because they can make cows infertile, lower milk production and because those maladies are often linked to bacteria, he said. The UF researchers did their experiments in labs and at the Dairy Unit on the Gainesville campus.
Jeong and his research team infused chitosan microparticles ─ an antimicrobial material derived from dissolved shrimp shells ─ into diseased cow uteri. When bought in stores, chitosan can be used to treat many ailments from obesity to anemia. On its own, chitosan only works at acidic pH levels, Jeong said. For cattle, Jeong's team developed chitosan microparticles, which work in acidic and neutral pH, because cattle uteri have a neutral pH.

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson Back Together, Flirting in New 'Breaking Dawn Part 2' Videos, Real-Life Chemistry On-Screen [WATCH NOW]
Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson will always be together in fans' eyes because they are wildly known as Bella and Edward who live forever in a vampire world, and behind-the-scene footage highlight their on-screen chemistry no matter what is happening off-screen.
Hollywood Life showcased five videos that show behind-the-scene footage from "Breaking Dawn Part 2" of the "Twilight" couple flirting and looking really in love while filming. [SEE VIDEOS]
"Ashley Greene and K-Stew joke around before a scene, with Rob looking on adoringly. In another video, Rob and Kristen can barely keep straight faces as they try to stick their landings during a green screen shot," HL described of the videos. "But what we - and probably the rest of the world - are drooling over is the five seconds or less worth of footage capturing the making of Robsten's Twilight sex scene! About to go in for a sexy kiss, R-Patz and K-Stew erupt into laughter. Gosh, they look so happy together!"
No matter what happens in their personal lives, Twi-hards will always remember the two "Breaking Dawn Part 2" stars as Bella and Edward.
According to The Hollywood Gossip, vampire Edward Cullen and Bella Swan (Cullen in BD Part 2) are number 8 on the top ten list of inspirational couples of 2013. They star on the list with Prince William and Kate Middleton, David & Victoria Beckham, and Jay-Z & Beyoncé.
The estranged duo were a real life couple, but the world was shocked when it was revealed that 22-year-old Stewart was cheating on 26-year-old Pattinson with "Snow White and the Huntsman" director Rupert Sanders back in July 2012.
The two were reportedly working it out, but while Pattinson is in Australia filming his new movie "The Rover," reports are saying that Stewart has had enough of him ignoring her and not trusting her and the two have reportedly split for good.
"Rob has pushed Kristen away too much - she considers herself single now," a source told HollywoodLife.com.
"She would totally date to get her mind off of him, but she doesn't want to be seen out on first dates by the paparazzi - she's very private. She wants to be with someone who wants her, and she's done apologizing for cheating. If she goes to Australia at this point, it will simply be to get closure - they're both done," the source added.

Scott has a scholarship offer from Louisville, and has caught the eye of several other Division 1 powerhouses in the ACC.
"My top five are Wake Forest, Louisville, Virginia Tech, Clemson and I like Tennessee," confirmed the 6'3 200 pound star receiver. "I was leaning toward Wake Forest, but after finishing my senior season and getting my tape out, I've started getting a lot of attention from other schools that I really like. I'm actually going to take my officials, and I plan to commit a couple of weeks before signing day."
He has an official scheduled with Louisville for January 14, and plans to schedule the others soon.
And with stats like Scott's, why wouldn't these schools be interested?
"I'm a very speedy receiver with good size," explained Long. "I run a 4.4 forty. I have good hands. I can catch the ball across the middle or down field. I'm also very physical at the line. I also have a 37.5 inch vertical and just maxed out on bench press at 325."

US President Barack Obama arrived in Cambodia last night having just won four more years in office, but that is nothing compared to his host, Hun Sen.
The Cambodian prime minister has held power since Ronald Reagan was in the White House, and says he is not stepping down until he is 90.
Hun Sen, 60, has a knack for making sure his rivals end up in jail or in exile. A laudatory biography is sub-titled Strongman of Cambodia, and some would say that was putting it mildly.
Yet, through his country's civil wars, a UN peace process and several elections, the one-time communist cadre has always managed to come out on top. Over the past decade, he has also overseen modest economic growth and stability in a country plagued by desperate poverty and nearly destroyed under the Khmer Rouge regime.
Obama's visit, the first by a United States president, comes because Cambodia is hosting the annual East Asia Summit.
These days, Hun Sen has styled himself as an elder statesman, and he is anxious to win international respectability to go along with the economic growth.
Cambodia has moved increasingly closer to China in recent years, but the US, too, has expanded its efforts to court its prime minister.
"He is intelligent, combative, tactical, and self-absorbed," says historian David Chandler, a expert on Cambodia at Australia's Monash University and a critic of Hun Sen's rule.
Despite concerns over his autocratic style and human rights lapses, the canny Hun Sen has managed to maintain the flow of the international aid that still accounts for much of Cambodia's national budget.
He also has apparent populist appeal. A poll of Cambodians taken in December by the International Republican Institute - the international democracy-promoting arm of the US Republican Party - found that 81 per cent of 2,000 respondents said Cambodia was "generally headed in the right direction".
But critics say that too often Hun Sen uses brute force and manipulation of the courts to maintain his hold on power.
Hun Sen's reputation for violence owes much to the fact that he staged a 1997 coup against his own coalition government. Forces loyal to him defeated those of his co-prime minister - whose party had actually won elections four years previously - putting Hun Sen once again in full control.
Opposition leader Sam Rainsy - the sole Cambodian politician with the charisma and resources to present any real challenge to Hun Sen's hold on the nation - is in self-imposed exile to avoid 12 years in prison from convictions critics say is political persecution.
Few doubt the outcome of the election next year.
As Hun Sen put it ahead of the last election in 2008: "I wish to state it very clearly this way: no one can defeat Hun Sen. Only Hun Sen alone can defeat Hun Sen."

For a player who seems destined to be at the centre of an on-field storm about to erupt between the Wallabies and the British and Irish Lions, James O'Connor seems remarkably calm as discussion over his likely selection for the No.10 slot mounts.
No matter that he has played only one Test at No.10 - against Wales on the 2011 spring tour - or that because of injury last year his last Test for Australia was in that same game. O'Connor, 22 and a veteran of 37 Tests since his first against Italy in 2008, remains unflappable. The Melbourne Rebels playmaker is relishing the prospect of playing in one of the most crucial positions for the Wallabies against the Lions, starting with the first of three Tests in Brisbane on June 22.
Wallabies coach Robbie Deans virtually anointed O'Connor as his No.10 when he announced a 25-man squad to be extended to 31 on June 11.
Although committed to the Rebels and their Super Rugby season, O'Connor said the Lions series had been on his mind for some time - even beyond last year when he was sidelined by a lacerated liver and a hamstring injury ruled him out of the Wallabies' spring tour.
''I thought I was going to be back [from the hamstring injury] sooner, but it kept being delayed and delayed. It was probably the toughest period of my rugby career,'' O'Connor said after Wallabies training at St Joseph's College on Tuesday.
''But I'm not going to lie. The Lions series has been on the back of my mind for the last year - I guess two years. Saying that, you have to focus on the present and do the work to get yourself there.''
As well as playing against the Lions, just as bold on O'Connor's list of goals has been the prospect of wearing the Wallabies' No.10 jersey in the series.
''I have made it no secret that I am happy to play in that 10 jersey. If I get that opportunity I will take it with both hands,'' O'Connor said. ''[But] in the Wallabies fold, it's not just one ball player. It is a number on your back. There are six guys who are main point callers.
''It doesn't matter what jersey I have on my back. It is always [about] trying to serve others, put through opportunities and get a second touch. I think it fits quite well with this squad.''

Hvac fan
I just moved into a home built 2003 in Texas try to turn on ac everything started up but the fan on the outside was not moving what is the cause, it's an amana brand that's all I know. The house is two stories 2400 sq ft
Looks like noone responded. Did you figure it out. I know on our house they put obviously a breaker in the panel but they also put a seperate power switch by the unit itself so we can kill the power there if needed instead of running back and forth to the breaker. I'd start with the breaker, and maybe get a volt meter to verify you are getting power at the unit. Fan motot could be dead as well. Good luck
Thanks , I called a friend he does Hvac told me it's the capacitor a # 80 for a 5 ton w/heat pump just gonna get the part seems like a simple fix
Before you go running out to get the capcitor,label the wires asm to where they go and then remove the cap and take it with you to be sure you get the right replacement.You must get the exact microfarad rating.You can go from 370 volt to 440 volt but not the other way around.
The wrong cap may allow the motor to run but it will slowly eat away at the motor windings.
Look at the old capacitor to make sure what one you need. Yours is a dual run capacitor.
Hey thanks guys, really good advice.. As I called grainger and they began asking me specks :) I will prolly take a pic and bring the cap with me . Btw seems like all the Hvac places close on the weekends, as hot as it is in Texas now, thought theyd be open all week, just my wish, it's the heat talking :)

Hong Kong rents rivaling 5th Avenue chase retailers away
By Alex Frew McMillan and Charmian Kok
HONG KONG/SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Hong Kong's main shopping district is gaining on New York's 5th Avenue for the title of world's most expensive retail zone as rents rise by 35 percent a year, pushing chains such as H&M out to the cheaper suburbs.
Swedish fashion chain Hennes & Mauritz's first store in Asia was a 30,000 sq ft (2,800 Sq m) flagship in Central, the heart of Hong Kong. But with the lease up for renewal and the rent set to double, the world's second-largest clothing retailer will close the location next year and seek new store space elsewhere.
Space has always been at a premium in Hong Kong, an island-city, like Manhattan, where developers plant high-rises on every available inch. Retail rents in prime shopping areas are rising more rapidly here than in New York, London or Paris.
Average annual rent along Hong Kong's Queen's Road Central - where H&M's soon-to-be-closed flagship store is located - soared to $1,831 per square foot in March, up 35 percent from a year earlier, data from real estate brokerage Colliers International shows. On New York's 5th Avenue, average rents rose 23 percent to $2,633 per square foot.
Colliers estimates Hong Kong's retail rents will overtake New York as early as 2014.
"Hong Kong rents are going through the roof," said Sally MacDonald, chief executive of Australian handbag and accessories maker Oroton, which has been looking to open a store in Hong Kong but could not find the right fit at the right price.
"It's a concern because that's a market that booms and busts and the rents are probably unsustainable," she said.
Some firms are still willing to pay for a prime location in Hong Kong, long considered the gateway to mainland China - a place to study Chinese buying habits before taking on Beijing's bureaucratic challenges. Continued...

Superior wall joint leaking
Dear all
Our home was built in the 80s using a superior wall foundation. Under very heavy rain (like 5inches in a day), a little water (say 1 cup) seeps through the joints between the wall panels. The walls seem to still be in place and haven't really moved. I presume these were sealed using a sealant when they were bolted together. Any suggestions on how to fix this issue correctly? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I would call Superior,t hey will tell you exactly what needs to be done to their system.
Do you know if they used stone or concrete for the footers?

Splogs and spammy links are the scourge of legitimate search marketers. The search marketing sector might be better-served if it took a cue from Canada in its fight against spam. As of April 20, 2011, Canada trails only six other countries in The Spamhaus Project's list of "The 10 Worst Spam Countries," with 224 live spam issues. The United States leads the way with almost 2,300 live spam issues, followed by China, Russian Federation, United Kingdom, Brazil, and Japan rounding out the top six. On December 15, 2010, the Government of Canada took an aggressive step in its fight against spam when it passed powerful anti-spam legislation.
Officially entitled Bill C-28, Canada's anti-spam legislation is known by the acronym FISA, which is based on its previous title, the "Fighting Internet and Wireless Spam Act." Although the exact date of when it will go into effect has not been fixed by order of the Governor in Counsel, as of early April 2011, it is expected that FISA will come into force by September 2011.
FISA is designed "to deter the most damaging and deceptive forms of spam from occurring in Canada, creating a more secure online environment" (according to Industry Canada). Analysis of the bill suggests that Canada has succeeded in developing a broad set of consumer-protection rules. One of the most significant components of FISA is the creation of additional consumer consent requirements. FISA is powerful, going further than many other anti-spam regulations, including the United States counterpart, the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003, or CAN-SPAM, which took effect in 2004. FISA is viewed as setting a new standard for anti-spam legislation. (Both Canada and the U.S. have other laws and systems in place to protect consumers from unwanted marketing communications, including the U.S. Junk Fax Prevention Act of 2005 and Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, Competition Act, and Telecommunications Act (Canada), each of which FISA amends to varying extents.)
The American anti-spam law had a simple purpose – to protect consumers against unsolicited email. At the time, it was considered broad in scope, proscribing several compliance requirements and prohibitions. CAN-SPAM essentially allows the transmittal of commercial emails, but requires the sender to include simple opt-out procedures that are honored within 10 days. It also requires that the emails include a physical address of the publisher or advertiser and restricts the content of the from and subject lines to ensure that they are accurate and relevant.
Under FISA's more stringent requirements, companies and individuals who send commercial electronic messages to, through, or from Canada will need to be prepared for significant additional regulations. To be compliant, you need to understand its provisions and develop a detailed compliance policy that is communicated to all relevant personnel who are also educated on the company's policy and FISA's provisions.
The first step in understanding how FISA's provisions will affect your existing and future marketing efforts and compliance programs is understanding the general provisions of FISA and how it differs from CAN-SPAM.
For example, in addition to spam, FISA's regulations apply to a range of electronic activities such as spyware, phishing, and malware, when used in connection with commercial activities. FISA also does not distinguish among the particular means of electronic transmission that are used to engage in offending activities, applying to all forms of commercial electronic messages, such as text messages or instant messages.
Perhaps the most dramatic and important distinction between CAN-SPAM and FISA, and the provision that is likely to require the most change at the company level, concerns FISA's treatment of consent in the communications process.
Unlike CAN-SPAM, FISA shifts the consent system from an opt-out system to an opt-in system, requiring consent prior to sending commercial messages. Although this seems daunting at first, it is important to note that it is not a true opt-in system, however, because express consent is not required. A consumer can be deemed to have provided implied consent.
Most frequently, implied consent will be found when there is an existing business relationship between the sender and recipient of the messages. An existing business relationship will exist when a company has done business with a consumer within two years of the message or if a consumer makes certain inquiries to a company within six months of the message. Implied consent can also be found when the electronic address of the recipient is conspicuously published or disclosed, without a statement that the person does not wish to receive unsolicited commercial electronic messages, as long as the message is relevant to their business, role, function, or duties.
As with CAN-SPAM, best FISA practices call for each message to also contain a simple and effective opt-out mechanism, even if the consumer has consented.
Finally, FISA provides private citizens with broader remedies than CAN-SPAM, permitting any person to bring a lawsuit for FISA violations. CAN-SPAM's private rights of action, on the other hand, are limited to Internet service providers. Penalties for violation of FISA are also significant and can range up to a fine of C$10 million for companies and C$1 million for individuals. Individual officers, directors, and agents can also be held personally liable under FISA.
In summary, although many of FISA's provisions are addressed by other international anti-spam regulations, FISA's specific requirements differ significantly from many others in ways that may have a dramatic effect on how your company engages in sending commercial electronic messages in its marketing efforts. Taking the time to review FISA's requirements and your existing policies, and revise them if necessary, before it goes into effect is essential to ensure compliance and avoid liability from lawsuits by government and private citizens.

Now Trevor Pryce and even Jaworski are chiming in with their opinions. Talk about overblown (IMO)
I couldn't disagree with you more. I like Ray. I like Reed. I like Jarrett Johnson. I like McGahee and hope he helps the Browns beat the Bengals this weekend. I guess I don't fit your "inclination" and I would suspect the vast majority of Raven fans are the same.
Ray's job now is to be an analyst...that means he is supposed to find out the facts of a certain situation, or the facts are given to him, and he is supposed to tell us what they mean in his informed opinion.Quote:
I don't see the big deal. Ray was asked a question and he answered it. Its his job now. Its not like he spent the prior week formulating some deep profound response to an obviously loaded question from Wingo.
In this case, clearly, he had nothing in the way of facts to buttress his wild speculations on a "lack of leaders" in the Ravens locker room. Moreover, as has been repeatedly pointed out, he was holding the Ravens locker room leaders to a far higher standard than what was in place when he was a leader, or for any leader in any NFL locker room for that matter.
At best it was slovenly analysis...at worst, it was a deliberate attempt to drum up a story where there was none.
In terms of the Ravens, your are right, it is not a big deal. They've already moved on, and save for some probably hilarious locker room humor in the months to come, this incident is closed.
As for Ray, I hope he does better next time, because I do think he's very smart and articulate and could bring some thoughtful insight to that job. If not, then he will just be one of far too many "analysts" that are just getting paid for much of the same analysis that is done on these message boards. And as soon as his "newness" wears off, he'll be gone from TV.
Ray is not your typical former Raven. He is our Jim Brown, Johnny U, Brett Favre or whatever. Few can have a post-player resume like Ozzie.
This is just not winner case for Ray, does Ray has a big ego? Sure! Will he be wrong? Sometimes and sometimes not.
However what is important - He was the greatest and the most valuable Ravens in the first two decades of this franchise.
Ray's not so off base now it would seem

A new dinosaur-themed snowboard learning park will open Friday at Snowbasin resort near Ogden.
The Natural History Museum of Utah will attend the opening event from 9 a.m. to noon in front of the Snowsports Learning Center at the Grizzly Center, where the new park is located. Docents from the museum will offer young boarders facts and let them touch and see dinosaur bones.
The Burton Dinosaur Riglet Park is designed specifically for children as young as 3 to learn how to snowboard. It is located adjacent to Snowbasin Resort's Snowsports Learning Center.
"The dinosaur-themed Burton Riglet Park completely embodies the idea of creating an environment focused on fun and play to teach the youngest of kids to snowboard," said Jeff Boliba, Burton's vice president of Global Resorts.

On the roster: Ryan Tannehill, Matt Moore, Pat Devlin
Offseason moves: Re-signed UFA Matt Moore
Analysis: While he had the normal ups and downs that practically every rookie quarterback endures, Tannehill showed promise in 2012 and he's the unquestioned starter heading into next season. The big question here is what happens with Moore, who started the last nine games in 2011 before serving as the backup last season. Moore is the perfect backup, and it was a nice coup for the Dolphins to get him back when it was expected he would sign elsewhere in free agency to try to land a starting job. With Tannehill and Moore back in the fold, to go along with the promising Devlin, there's no reason to think the Dolphins will do anything at this position in the draft.
The draft class: It's really a bad year for quarterbacks, which explains why so many mediocre passers were signed in recent weeks. Sure, a couple of QBs will get taken in the first round, but that's more because of the nature of the position than a statement on the quality of the class. Geno Smith is the best of the bunch, but even he has his flaws.
The top prospect: Geno Smith, West Virginia
Likely first-round picks: Geno Smith; Ryan Nassib, Syracuse
Overrated prospects: Matt Barkley, USC; Ryan Nassib
Under-the-radar prospects: Matt Scott, Arizona; Mike Glennon, N.C. State

Should a low-key school that serves mainly disadvantaged teens be brought under the umbrella of Lodi Unified School District?
Leaders of the Heritage Peak learning center on Lower Sacramento Road have applied to operate as a charter school in Lodi Unified.
The petition poses a variety of difficult questions.
Among them:
— Would another local charter school open the gate to more area students attending Heritage Peak (which would become Rio Valley Charter School) and cause Lodi Unified to lose money?
— Would an expansion at Heritage Peak come with the strength of staff, oversight and curriculum?
— Would it provide a distinctive and attractive alternative to other area schools?
Lodi Unified already operates one charter school, Joe Serna Jr., and it provides oversight for three others operated by Aspire Schools.
What are charter schools? They're publicly funded ventures that run with more flexibility than traditional public campuses. There is less red tape, more latitude in terms of textbooks, schedules and regulation. Though they operate with a fair degree of independence, they are required to be chartered through a school district, county office of education or the state Department of Education. The overseeing agencies can receive fees for certain administrative or special services related to the schools they charter.
Today, there are 809 charter schools serving more than 341,000 students in California.
Charter schools have gained popularity because they can be more personal, more customized and, in some cases, more academically successful than their traditional counterparts.
The California Charter Schools Association boasts that, on average, students in charter schools achieve higher test scores than those at mainline public schools.
In Lodi Unified, the charters operated by Aspire public schools are, in fact, high achievers, with River Oaks Charter, University Public and Ben Holt College Prep reflecting among the very best scores in the district.
So charter schools can and do succeed.
Lodi Unified has received petitions for two charters in recent months, one from Heritage Peak and one from local educational advocate Robert Closson. The district rejected Closson's petition and is taking a very hard look at the Heritage Peak idea.
By carefully reviewing these petitions, Lodi Unified is doing a public service. After all, taxpayer money shouldn't be flung willy-nilly at just any group of educational reformers.
The new school, ideally, should offer a fresh and different choice to local parents and students.
And students shouldn't be entrusted to taxpayer-supported schools that lack a solid plan of infrastructure.
Yet Lodi Unified, like many cash-strapped districts these days, is in a sticky position. It might be financially wounded by a school it has the power to reject or accept. (The district, by law, is not supposed to consider whether it will take a financial hit by granting a charter.)
Still, there is at least the hint of a conflict of interest in such processes. Every student that a new charter pulls away could cost Lodi Unified $5,200 in average daily attendance revenue. There are safeguards aimed at providing a fair hearing for charters. For instance, if Heritage Peak is rejected by Lodi Unified, it could appeal to the San Joaquin County Office of Education, which could decide it passes muster and charter it directly. If the county rejects it, too, Heritage could go to Sacramento and seek a charter through the state department of education.
So school districts that reject charters do so with some risk — the risk that the charter may succeed anyway, in which case the rejecting district has virtually no control over it, and no chance at administrative or other fees.
Lodi Unified is right to be scrupulous in its review of Heritage Oaks and other charter petitions.
Yet district leaders would be wise to be open-minded and impeccably fair, too.

Rectangular pink paper box label with black printing on one side, and glue residual on the reverse.
It was used during production of the Australian feature film `Spotswood', released in 1992. Set during the 1960s, it focused on the changing fortunes of the fictitious Balls Moccasins Factory in Spotswood, Melbourne. The location used to depict the exterior of the factory was the Spotswood Pumping Station, now part of Scienceworks Museum, a campus of Museum Victoria. The Pumping Station features on the Balls Moccasins logo, which is printed on the label.
Physical Description
A rectangular salmon pink paper label, with black printing on one side surrounded by a thick and a thin black printed border. The printing includes the the name of the fictional company, as well as two logos, including the factory complex and a rotund, ball-shaped, man in evening dress. On the back is glue residual, which indicates the label was used during production of the film, attached to a cardboard box.
This box label is significant due to its links to the Spotswood Pumping Station, now part of Museum Victoria's Scienceworks campus. Opening in 1897, the station was finally decommissioned in 1965 after the opening of the new station at nearby Brooklyn. For the next 25 years, the buildings were left largely vacant, but found a new use as a versatile film and television location for numerous productions. These included becoming the Main Force Patrol (MFP) `Halls of Justice' headquarters in the Mad Max films, Blackmoor Prison in the TV series `Prisoner' and the Balls Moccasin Factory in the film `Spotswood'. Soon after, the buildings were handed over to Museum Victoria, to become one of the main attractions of Scienceworks.
It is also significant in representing one of the numerous films produced in and showcasing Melbourne to the world over the last century. The oldest surviving Australian film footage was shot at the Melbourne Cup in 1896, while arguably the world's first feature length narrative film was `The Story of the Kelly Gang', filmed around Melbourne and premiering at the end of 1906. Released in 1992, `Spotswood' was a comedy which, unusually, told the story of the decline of manufacturing in Australia by focusing on the declining fortunes of a footwear factory in the western suburbs of Melbourne. It starred Anthony Hopkins, Russell Crowe, Ben Mendelsohn, Alwyn Kurts and Toni Collette, and was released in the US as `The Efficiency Expert'.
It also is interesting as it represents, although in a fictional sense, of the decline of local manufacturing, particularly in relation to the footwear industry. Although a relatively small, specialised industry now, it was at one stage was a major industry in Melbourne, which was the leading manufacturing hub of footwear in Australia.

moreExercise and Nutrition Guidelines for Active Kids When we look back on childhood, we realize that ''exercise'' was a lot like play. We enjoyed running, playing tag, or hitting a baseball just because it felt good. However, it's apparent that staying active, even as kids, has become the exception. The statistics are depressing: up to a third of children in the United States are obese. And overweight kids become overweight adults. Parents play a significant role in keeping their children fit and healthy. Good nutrition and exercise learned as a child can mean a long and active life as an adult. This book can help you foster these healthy habits in your children. Kids can safely use resistance training to get fit for recreational activities and sports. Weight lifting will allow your child to build strength, prevent injury, and improve motor skills. This book includes coaching tips, gender-specific workouts, and training programs. The more kids exercise and participate in sports, the more calories and nutrients they need. Athletics create more nutritional demands on the body, especially when a hectic and unhealthy eating schedule has become a habit. Parents and young athletes need to understand the importance of high-quality nutrition. You'll find general dietary guidelines for healthy eating for active kids, as well as tips on pre- and post-exercise nutrition, staying hydrated while exercising, and healthy snacks. Fit Kids for Life will help you keep young athletes injury free, active, and healthy right into adulthood. less

The Sarajevo Syndrome
On June 28, 1914, the motorcade carrying Austro-Hungarian Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie, made a wrong turn on the streets of Sarajevo. His car had no reverse gear, so the engine was disengaged and the car pushed back onto the main road. That gave Gavrilo Princip all the time he needed. The 19-year-old Bosnian Serb stepped up to the car and fired twice at point-blank range, fatally wounding both Franz Ferdinand and his wife. "Sophie, Sophie, don't die. Stay alive for our children," the heir to the empire said as his helmet, plumed with green ostrich feathers, slipped from his head.
The cataclysmic chain of events that ensued has troubled political and military thinkers to this day. Austria-Hungary made severe demands of Serbia, which it correctly suspected of involvement in the assassinations. Serbia rejected the ultimatum. When Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, a web of alliances began to ensnare the entire continent. Russia, as an ally of Serbia, declared it was fully mobilizing its armed forces. Germany, an ally of Austria-Hungary, preemptively declared war first on Russia, then on France, Russia's ally. The guns of August began to sound. By the time World War I ended in 1918, roughly 17 million combatants and civilians had died, with nothing to show for their loss.
Change 1914 to 2014, and Sarajevo to Homs or Mosul or Donetsk or Kashmir or Panmunjom or the Senkaku Islands or the Spratlys or name-your-own conflict zone. Now as then, fights over small places whose names belong on a quiz show threaten to embroil the world's most powerful armies. The powder kegs are in place, waiting for a Gavrilo Princip to light the fuse.
What can be done to avoid a recurrence of the Sarajevo Syndrome? The First and Second World Wars offer different lessons. Those of World War I are clear: Keep local conflicts local; communicate; avoid escalation, even if that means letting down a putative ally. World War II has a different moral. The mistake that led to that conflagration was failing to stand up to evil. The haunting image of 1938 is British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's declaration of "peace for our time" upon his return from Munich—having meekly acquiesced in Adolf Hitler's annexation of German-speaking parts of Czechoslovakia.
"In World War I it was miscalculation, stumbling your way into a conflict that was avoidable. In World War II the lesson was about understanding the signs of aggression when you see it … so you don't end up on the defensive in a war," summarizes Kathleen Hicks, a former U.S. Department of Defense official who is director of the international security program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. Looking to historical precedent, Hicks says, is "what you see day in, day out in American foreign policy: where on the spectrum you are sitting and which lesson to apply."
It's the lessons of World War I that loom large at the moment, and not just because of the centennial. We are closer to the world of 1914 now than we were during the Cold War, which lasted from the 1950s to the '80s, or during the decade or so when the U.S. emerged as the lone superpower. Once again the world is multipolar. Nuclear weapons seem to have lost their power to freeze potential combatants in place. China is on the rise, fueled by its manufacturing might and resentment over a history of foreign colonialism. Russia may be on the wane economically and demographically, but President Vladimir Putin is punching above his weight. Even U.S. allies are exerting independence: Japan is going nose to nose with China over the Senkakus in a way that would have been unimaginable a generation ago.
Another echo of 1914 is the instability wrought by failed states. Today we worry about Syria, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Somalia, Sudan, and other nations that are or threaten to become power vacuums and havens for terrorists and criminals. In 1914 the long decline of the Ottoman Empire had created a rush for territory and political influence in the Balkans that drew in Italy, Serbia, Austria-Hungary, Greece, and others. Europe compounded the crisis by tying the entire continent's fate to a conflict in its most volatile corner. Mostly forgotten now is that World War I was immediately preceded by the First Balkan War (1912-13) and the Second Balkan War (1913). "The First World War was the Third Balkan War before it became the First World War," writes historian Christopher Clark, author of The Sleepwalkers, a history of the failed diplomacy that preceded World War I.
There is a pessimistic theory that rising powers and incumbents inevitably come to blows: Athens and Sparta in classical Greece; perhaps China and the U.S. one day soon. According to the Thucydides Trap theory, it was the economic and military rise of Germany after its 1871 unification under Wilhelm of Prussia that upset the balance of power in Europe and made World War I inevitable. "Germany either had to trust that Russia and France would never attack it, and that wasn't rational, or it had to initiate the war on its own terms," says George Friedman, founder and chairman of Stratfor, a geopolitical intelligence company.
Clark argues in The Sleepwalkers that World War I was very much evitable, possibly even unlikely given the common interests that existed at the time between, for example, Germany and Britain. The war was, he says, the result of miscommunication, shortsightedness, and an abdication of personal and national responsibility. Each nation's diplomats acted as if their hands were tied—as if they were responding in the only way possible to the provocations of others. In a letter on July 12, 1914, German Foreign Minister Gottlieb von Jagow wrote that keeping the conflict between Austria and the Serbs from spreading "will depend in the first place on Russia," while adding, "if the fight offers itself, we dare not flinch." War is what you get when no one dares flinch.
Today, China's maritime skirmishes with Japan, Vietnam, and others are probably the closest parallel to the feints and jabs that preceded World War I. Those who see wars as inevitable can argue that the antagonism between China and Japan is a continuation of territorial and political rivalries that date to the 1870s or earlier. Such resignation to fate supplies only prophecy, not solutions.
If war is a choice, then the mistakes of the First World War provide important diplomatic and policy lessons. One is the danger of misunderstanding. Speaking in April at the German Historical Museum in Berlin, former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said Asia needs to damp hostilities and promote communication through forums such as the 18-nation East Asia Summit, which includes the U.S., China, and Russia. "One of the profound lessons of 1914 is how rapidly circumstances could change from utterly benign to utterly catastrophic within the space of months," he said.
The essential thing is to see clearly and decide unemotionally. That is not what Europe did a century ago. "In this sense," Clark concludes in the final sentence of his book, "the protagonists of 1914 were sleepwalkers, watchful but unseeing, haunted by dreams, but blind to the reality of the horror they were about to bring into the world."

Preop - I was a C cup. I wanted to be a full C/small D. The surgeon I went to recommended BL+BA. Post op- I am no smaller than a DD, regardless of bra maker and often wear a sports bra.
I was told implant size would be determined in the OR and woke to 450 cc and over the muscle (did not have prior implants). I am not satisfied with the lift or the shape (large and droopy). For my request of full C/small D, would you have used 450cc moderate plus? Do I need another lift, if so anchor or another lollipop?

Mammoth Problems
The Colorado Mammoth along with the entire National Lacrosse League was sent to the penalty box on October 16 when the NLL and the players association fell short of a new collective-bargaining agreement. For considerably longer than the standard two- or five-minute penalty, the 2008 season seemed body-checked into obliv-ion. Sad days. Then on October 24, the NLL announced an agreement. After the league effectively canceled the season, the players association got together with the un-ion and came to a seven-year agreement, says Dan Rowland, media contact for the Mammoth. Its the longest collective-bargaining agreement theyve ever had, which is a really good thing.
Tonight starting at 7 p.m. at the Pepsi Center, 1000 Chopper Circle, celebrate the long-awaited return of the NLL with the season-opening Colorado Mammoth vs. the Calgary Roughnecks. We dont expect anything less than winning the NLL championship, says Mammoth captain Gavin Prout. With the new talent weve acquired and the core group who led us to the West Division title with a 12-4 record last season, we are looking strong.
