Blackmon fielded a line drive punt on the run from Jon Ryan and ran untouched for about 40 yards before he was "tagged" in the no-tackle punt return session at Lambeau Field. It was Blackmon's only punt return of the night, but it quickly brought back memories of the "it" that Blackmon possesses.
Last year, Blackmon sparked Green Bay's punt return unit with eight returns for 106 yards and one touchdown. However, Blackmon broke his foot during an Oct. 3 practice and did not return until Nov. 25. It was the same foot that he injured about a month after he was selected in the fourth round (115th overall) of the 2006 NFL draft by the Packers. Blackmon aggravated the foot injury in the Packers' regular season finale against Detroit and did not play in the Packers' two postseason games.
Green Bay ranked seventh in the NFL in punt return average (10.3 yards per return), but you've got to think it would have been better had Blackmon been healthy throughout the season. Tramon Williams and Will Blackmon were good fill-ins. In fact Williams returned a punt 94 yards for a touchdown. However, Williams only gained three yards on three yards in two postseason games.
Blackmon has been able to participate in the team's traning camp thus far this year. Though he sat out of Friday's practice with soreness in the same foot that he has injured twice, he appears to be playing at the same high level he was at early in the 2007 season. During the intra-squad scrimmage, Blackmon played on Green Bay's first-team defense in the team's base and passing defenses as starting cornerbacks Charles Woodson and Al Harris each sat out.
Though Blackmon is prone to injuries, he certainly is worth a roster spot. All the team's management and fans can do is hold their breath and hope that he can stay healthy because he has the ability to make a big impact everytime he touches the ball.
"I know that I can be the best at it and that's the plan," Blackmon said. "I do it for the team. You want to score and win games."
Though his right foot has flared up during training camp, he's doing his best to block it out of his mind. When asked how it is feeling, Blackmon quickly replied, "What are you talking about?"
If Blackmon can steer clear of injuries like he does defenders, the Packers will be in good hands.

LWRC makes some of the finest AR rifles on the planet and they've just updated their baseline M6 model by adding the M6-SL (Stretch Lightweight) to their lineup. LWRC concentrated on lightening up their new model making the lightest piston driven AR platform on the market. The "stretch" portion of the name comes from the gas system, which uses a mid length system rather than the more common carbine length system giving the platform less recoil allowing for easily placed follow up shots.
The new LWRC M6-SL features the popular Magpul MOE such as mid-length handguards around its 16.1″ barrel and a MOE grip and buttstock on the back end. Up top is a Daniel Defense A1.5 fixed sight and a standard A2 sight post. The light contour, cold hammer forged barrel uses's LWRC's own NiCorr surface technology which allows for excellent wear resistance and lasting durability. LWRC's barrels are rated to spit out 20k rounds before needing replacement. The fire control group is EXO plated along with the bolt and bolt carrier.
All these premium components and proprietary technologies equal exceptional quality, assuming, but they also come at a price. I don't have the exact price yet, but from what I've seen come out of LWRC, I wouldn't hesitate to guess above the 2k mark, and I would hesitate to pay it either. The LWRCs I've been luckily enough to squeeze off a few rounds with left me wanting to max out my credit card(s). If you're looking for the lightest piston driven AR that money buy, LWRC has it.

It's high time I shared another Ausflug with you guys!
Last August was a real downer weather-wise in most of Europe. We wanted to take a little jaunt over one of the 3-day weekend holidays, with the thought that we'd catch some nice northern Italian sun. Nice idea, but it was cold and rainy.
So instead of trying to follow the sun to Portugal or Turkey (like every other person on the continent) we accepted what the weather Gods had to offer and headed north-west to Strasbourg, France.
It was Armin's mother's birthday and they were celebrating around his home town, about 20 minutes from the French border, so we figured we surprise everyone on the way back to Munich.
Strasbourg is absurdly cute. As you may know, it's in the Alsace region of France, which has bounced between being part of Germany and part of France over the ages. It's France now, and one feels it, but you can easily speak German there too.
Right before the new trip, I got a new gadget; a Sony camera that hooks up to an iphone, so we spent a lot of the weekend on a 'Photo Safari'. Armin would give me little assignments to try and capture depth of field or to fiddle around with the exposure settings. These are a fraction of the photos that we took...indulge me.
As you've probably gathered, Strasbourg is kind of like a French version of Venice on a smaller scale. Canals run through the town and locals get around on boats.
We defintely got in our recommended daily allowance of Foie Gras and white wine during or short visit.
As we mosied back over towards the German border we stopped off at the Maginot Line
...but that's a story for another time.

The Swans' multimillion-dollar bid for superstar Lance Franklin should mark the end of the Sydney cost-of-living allowance.
For a start, logically and mathematically, it's wrong. Just ask someone from Perth where it's now similarly expensive, but AFL clubs get no cost-of-living allowance.
Second, there's a reason why Sydney is more expensive than other states. It's a thriving city, a great place to live and an appealing location for young players.
Third, and most importantly, the allowance distorts the salary cap and means Sydney teams can pay their players 10 per cent more than other clubs. It's worth about a million dollars - and it's funded by the AFL.
The Swans rightly point out that they allocate their allowance across their entire playing list, but whichever way you cut it, they've got 10 per cent more to pay their players.
The cost-of-living allowance dates back more than a decade, when the Swans and Brisbane Lions were struggling to make inroads in the northern states.
It used to be tied in with a retention allowance, which was phased out after the Lions won three consecutive premierships.
There is still a vast amount that must be done to win the hearts and minds of Sydneysiders and Queenslanders to our great game. These allowances have helped the Swans and Lions find their feet and become established as great clubs of the competition.
The northern states are now supported in other ways, such as by the establishment of young talent academies that give their teams first rights over the best young players in NSW and Queensland. The impact of the academies will be significant and will soon hit home when more of these young players reach draft age. There's also the money paid by the AFL and clubs to players in those states to market the game.
What makes the cost-of-living allowance even more unsustainable is that there are clubs in Melbourne that are starved of success and can no longer afford to be disadvantaged - such as St Kilda, which last won a flag in 1966, the Western Bulldogs (1954) and Melbourne (1964). We should also remember that Franklin is not the villain here.
He is a restricted free agent after nine years of outstanding service to the Hawks and they have the right to keep him if they match the Swans' offer.
He has a limited lifespan in the game and has earned the right to go to a club that values him much higher financially.
Greater Western Sydney is a fledgling club that could arguably be hurt by phasing out the cost-of-living allowance. But the reality is that the Giants have already been given the financial support and access to young talent that the Swans and Lions never had in their early years. They will need more support, but it doesn't need to be a cost-of-living allowance.
The salary cap is a pillar of the success of the AFL competition. The time has come to free it of this distortion and focus our efforts on fairer means of promoting our great game in NSW.

Austin Sigg admits to killing Jessica Ridgeway
JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. - The man who was accused of kidnapping, raping and dismembering a 10-year-old Colorado girl has reached a plea deal with prosecutors.
Austin Sigg, 18, pleaded guilty on all charges Tuesday (10/1/13).
KMGH-TV reporter Amanda Kost was in the courtroom when Sigg entered the plea. She reports that Chief Judge Stephen M. Munsinger asked, "To all of these charges, how do you plea?" Sigg, who wore dress clothes in court, responded, "Guilty your honor."
The charges Sigg pleaded guilty to included kidnapping, sexual assault and murder.
Sigg entered the guilty plea against the advice of his attorney. He faces a sentence of life in prison with the possibility of parole in 40 years, KMGH reported. Sigg cannot face the death penalty because he was 17 at the time of his crimes.
Sigg kidnapped Jessica Ridgeway as she was walking to school in Westminster on October 5, 2012.
Ridgeway's dismembered remains were found on October 10, 2012 in an open space in Arvada.
Sigg also pleaded guilty to attempting to kidnap a jogger at Kettner Lake in Westminster, according to KMGH.

Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Legumes, like alfalfa, obtain a substantial amount of nitrogen (N) fertilizer through a process known as symbiotic nitrogen fixation. To initiate this process, soil bacteria invade the root causing wart-like growths, termed nodules, to form at the root. Within the nodule the bacteria take nitrogen gas (N2) and convert it to N fertilizer, which becomes available to the plant for growth. The plant gives the bacteria energy in the form of carbon. Although a great deal is known about bacterial genes involved in nodulation and N2 fixation, much less is known about the plant genes involved in this process. To ascertain where plant genes were expressed in nodules we mapped the location of expression within the root nodule of 11 alfalfa genes involved in nodule N and carbon metabolism. The location of expression was also measured for two bacterial genes involved in N2 fixation. The data showed that expression of four plant genes most closely linked to nodule N assimilation was localized to the area of greatest N2 fixation. This zone of N2 fixation was limited to 20 cell layers in 33-day-old nodules. Plant genes involved in carbon metabolism were expressed over a much broader region. Three particular genes were expressed in the older senescent zone of the nodule. These findings are important because they show that not all genes in root nodules are expressed uniformly, indicating that there are several factors that affect plant gene expression in nodules. The fact that only a small portion of the 33-day-old nodule is fixing and assimilating N suggests that one strategy for increasing N2 fixation in legumes would be to select plants having either delayed nodule senescence or a larger N2-fixing zone.
Technical Abstract: During root nodule development several key genes involved in nitrogen fixation and assimilation exhibit enhanced levels of expression. However, little is known about the temporal and spatial distribution pattern of these transcripts. In a systematic study the transcripts for 13 of the essential enzymes involved in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) root nodule nitrogen and carbon metabolism were localized using in situ hybridization. A serial section approach allowed the construction of a map that reflects the relative distribution of these transcripts. In 33-day-old root nodules, the expression of nifH, NADH-dependent glutamate synthase (NADH-GOGAT; EC 22.214.171.124) and a cytosolic isoform of glutamine synthetase (GS13; GS; EC 126.96.36.199) were localized predominantly in a 5- to 15-cell-wide region in the distal part of the nitrogen-fixing zone. This zone was also the region of high expression for leghemoglobin, a second cytosolic glutamine synthetase isoform (GS100), aspartate aminotransferase-2 (AAT-2; EC 126.96.36.199), asparagine synthetase (AS; 188.8.131.52), phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC; EC 184.108.40.206), and sucrose synthase (SuSy; EC 184.108.40.206). This suggests that in 33-day-old alfalfa root nodules, nitrogen fixation is restricted to this 5- to 15-cell-wide area. The continued significant expression of the GS100 subclass of GS and AS in the proximal part of the nitrogen-fixing zone implicates these gene products in nitrogen remobilization. A low constitutive expression of NADH glutamate dehydrogenase (NADH-GDH; EC 22.214.171.124) was observed throughout the nodule. The transcript distribution map will be used as a navigational tool to assist in developing strategies for the genetic engineering of alfalfa root nodules for enhanced nitrogen assimilation.

"I have used TickleMe plants in my classroom in the past. I teach 1st grade and the students are amazed at how fast they grow and they love "tickling" their plants. I have a student from 2 years ago that still has his plant. He said it is "huge"! Thank you for providing this great opportunity for my students."
Tina – Colorado
This is my second order from you and I must tell you – did I give this to a whole lot of kiddies? Not really! I gave so many to my friends at work who in turn have shared with all their friends (& Kids!) One of the husbands loved it sooooo much and i thought this was wonderful! Thank you for giving us such a wonderful site and avenue for experiencing such a fun and wonderful 'adventure' with these sweet plants!. Thank you SO much!"
Cathy – California
"I 'happened' upon your site while sifting through gardening sites. As a high school biology teacher I was happy to find your site. I plan on using the seeds with Honors Level biology courses. These are such cool plants, the kids love the specimens that I have had in class so I am pleased to be able to find an affordable way to let them each get their own."
Anne – Pennsylvania
"Hi there!! First, I wanted to say that I LOVE my Tickle Me's!! I got the greenhouse kit a few weeks ago and my plants have already sprouted!! The 2nd set of leaves responds to "tickling" also, and we all love to watch it! It has been a large source of fascination around here!!"
Rebecca – New Jersey
"My children couldn't believe their own eyes when I showed them that the baby TickleMe plant is moving! I like it a lot too. Thank you for showing us that such a wonderful plant exists on our planet, thank you for bringing some fun in our lives. I wish you a good luck and many, many more customers."
Gayane – California
"I was even more excited when I learned that it could be planted in the house. It's a really cool plant!"
Yvonne – New Jersey
"I home school my youngest and plan to integrate the plants into school projects and 4-H activities. I think I will bring the idea of using the unique plant as a fund raiser to my church."
Mary – Montana
"I cannot wait for the order to get here!!! Let me tell my story: Last year I got a TickleMe Plant and enjoyed this plant very much. I have a son that is going to college this summer and he cannot take a pet so he wants a TickleMe Plant. So come July 22, your TickleMe Plant will be going to college at PTI with my son and he will have so much fun with it. Thank you for starting this!"
Melissa – Pennsylvania
"I recently had to photograph a gardener who happened to have one growing in his garden. I thought it was the coolest thing, so I decided to try to grow my own. "
Dana – North Carolina
"I plan to grow them and give them as gifts to my class. Thanks."
Thomas – Georgia
"Hi Larry – Thanks for the speedy service. We need them for our undergraduate teaching class which will be coming in soon."
Marcia - North Carolina
"I used to grow vegetable and flower plants with them all the time when they were little, and I thought this would be a good activity for them to share with the children they babysit for."
Amy – Missouri
"I can't wait to start growing them again, my kids think they are terrific."
Amanda – Arizona
"I remember having a mimosa pudica when we were little. I wanted my children to experience the plant. I google searched and found you and two other sites. Yours was the best shipping price for what I wanted. I will definitely recommend you to others as your replies and service are great!"
John – California
"I first found out about the TickleMe Plant (sensitive plants) while living in Baltimore about 20 years ago. I saw a tree whose leaves folded at night and I fell in love with the tree. I planted one in my front yard. I found out it was called a mimosa tree. When it bloomed The seeds went every where. I ended up with about 50 1-inch tall trees in my yard. While I was pulling them out I noticed one that didn't look exactly like the other ones. It was taller and wider and when I touched it it all closed up. I thought I killed it, but the next day it was back to normal. I dug it up and put it in a flower pot and took it inside. When I moved back to Central PA my plant didn't make it. I decided to look on the Internet to see if I could find another one. That is how I found your web site and your explanation of the plant was a lot better than the other web sites and I knew for sure yours was the plant I was looking for. This is my 2nd order for seeds, all my friends want one of the plants so I ordered more. I am very satisfied with your service and be assured if I want more seeds I will order them from you. A very satisfied customer!"
Denise – Pennsylvania

Apart from Crysis, our game tests remain the same with Call of Duty 2, Counter-Strike: Source and Enemy Territory: Quake Wars offering a variety of new and old games. All of them are tested using custom time demos run with a variety of resolution and anti-aliasing settings and with all in-game settings set to their maximum. Each test is repeated three times and the average taken to obtain a consistent and accurate result.
Since we last ran Crysis we've updated to the latest patch which improves performance across the board and adds in support for CrossFire amongst other things. Again a custom time demo is used and the average of three runs is taken for each tested setting. However, because it's still very demanding, we've kept all in-game graphics settings to high rather than very high.
We generally find that any single card configuration struggles to cope at the resolutions demanded by a 30in monitor so we've stuck to testing at 1,920 x 1,200 and 1,600 x 1,200 (or 1,680 x 1,050), and 1,280 x 1,024 for these tests. We will, however, come back to test SLI and CrossFire configurations very soon so we will take a look at performance at 2,560 x 1,600 then.
As predicted, the 8800GTS 512's performance falls somewhere between the old 8800 GTS 640 and the 8800 GTX with the latter's higher memory bandwidth and pixel fillrate pulling it ahead when resolution and AA are really cranked up. At lower resolutions, though, the 8800 GTS 512's shader power enables it to keep up with the rest of the field. Essentially, if you own a monitor with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,200 or below, we'd recommend the 8800 GTS 512. Whereas, if you're playing games at 2,560 x 1,600 the 8800 GTX or 8800 Ultra would still get our nod.
The nVidia 8800 GTS 512 looks like it will be another huge success for nVidia, delivering performance similar to the 8800 GTX but for a lower price and using less power in the process. Add to this the improved video playback functionality and there's little more you could ask for.

Kinda been holding out on this because it wasn't "official" until today. The deposit has been left, and the rest of the money has been secured. It's officially "mine" (actually, my wife's).
Car was taken in on trade for major upgrades to another SVX.... 2 owners since new. "All We'll Drive, LLC" in New Jersey (specializing only in Subaru SVXs) basically did an entire overhaul.
All new seals, timing belt, valve job, oil pump, gaskets, water pump, brakes, rotors, bearings, etc. Transmission is relatively new, and upgraded with an external filter and cooler. Body was sanded down to the bare metal, and repainted with the factory color basecoat/clearcoat.
Essentially, it's almost a brand new car.
Before you ask...... no, it does not come with the BBS wheels. I know they look hot on it, but i was able to knock the price down on the car if I took the stockers. The tires on the stockers are all-seasons, and they are new anyway. The price was already a bit more than we wanted to spend, especially considering I have to travel to New Jersey and drive it home over 2000 miles. For now, the stockers helped keep the cost low..... and I'm already in the market for an upgrade.
Purchase price - $4500.00. They have well over $10K invested in the car. Car started with a selling of $7500... but the market sucks.... good for me
I'm flying out on June 23rd (3 days after the MM Meet ) to go pick it up and drive it home from New Jersey

But to my surprise I am able to walk comfortably in them. They take a very long time before beginning to hurt and that's usually if i've been walking around a lot. They go with jeans and dresses. The ankle part can be snug and dig into your ankle. That is the only con I can think of. I love the material. They look and feel expensive.

/// Google Ads Now Handle App Download Links
Google has introduced a new way for its advertisers to promote native mobile apps, a move that underscores the crisis of faith among boosters of the Web as a platform.
AdWords advertisers now have the option to use the Mobile App ad extension, which allows a mobile app download link to be added to search ads delivered on mobile devices. Clicking on the link takes the user to the appropriate mobile app store so the app can be purchased and then installed directly onto the user's mobile phone. The extension serves links that are platform-appropriate, so download links for iOS apps will be shown on iOS devices and download links for Android apps will be shown on Android devices.
Publishers of native Android and iOS apps are likely to be thrilled: Anything that reduces the friction of discovering and downloading mobile apps makes a tough business a bit easier. Mobile app developers have tended to avoid search advertising because it hasn't driven downloads as effectively as other options, like mobile marketing services that allow app makers to pay for installation. But a year ago, Apple disallowed pay-per-install app promotions for iOS apps, so a legitimate way to drive downloads using mobile ads could prove popular.
For the past few years, Google has been one of the loudest supporters of Web apps, having even gone so far as to proclaim "the Web has won." And why not? The company made its name in Web search and advertising.
But the success of Apple, first with its iOS App Store and then with its Mac App Store; the more recent rise of Google's own Android operating system; and Microsoft's move to turn Windows 8 into an app ecosystem have left Web app advocates wondering whether Google now sees the Web as a second-class platform.
In a comment on a Google+ discussion thread last month, Google Web developer Paul Irish gave voice to the doubts among those working with Web technology. "Native apps are eating our lunch," he wrote. "And we're spending hours arguing about syntax."
Web developer Michael Mahemoff assembled a presentation that summarizes the challenges facing Web developers at a time when so much attention is devoted to mobile apps. It notes that Facebook declared 2011 to be about HTML5 and mobile, then proceeded to drop $1 billion on native photo app Instagram.
Web development can be expected to lag behind native development until such time as hardware runs on Web technology. So far, Google's Chrome OS and Chromebooks show no sign of dethroning the major commercial desktop or mobile operating systems. But perhaps Mozilla, with its B2G project can turn things around with an open phone.
Until then, the Web at least can help companies promote their native mobile apps.

Upgrading wall insulation from inside
Doing a remodel on our small master bath and removed all drywall since there was 30 yrs worth of many paint layers.
Since I have the DW removed I thought it would be a good time to upgrade the existing R-11 and install a vapor barrier on the inside (northern Nevada).
Searched the web and haven't really come up with anything that I can see as a beneficial upgrade besides higher density R-13.
The house is a 73 with fiber board siding, tar paper, r-11, then 1/2" dw.
There has to be a better affordable system I can do from the inside. What are your thoughts? Spray foam looked good but too expensive and not easy to obtain.
Sounds to me like you're at a point where spending extra money can only gain almost immeasurable results - like a dog chasing it's tail. Sure you can spray foam it (see "tiger foam" for online ordering of DIY foam kits) or use polyisocyanurate panels, or extruded polystyrene - but what will you gain between R11 and R13 or so? That amount of savings can be negligible compared to an unsealed attic...
Because remember more insulation is only part of the equation concerning heat loss; you should be spending equal amounts of time and money on air infiltration as you are on increaing the R-value of your insulation, since a drafty R30 house is still a cold one.
If you must use fiberglass, there is R-15HD out there or compressing R-19 to get the biggest loser; http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=...Sl4MDm_aao1YUg

OT: LCD Monitors, repairable?
Expand Messages
- I was given an LCD Monitor a friend found in someone else's trash. It's the old "if you can fix it, cool, otherwise toss". It's suffering from the exact same problem I see in many of the LCD panels I have at work, which is that the power supply seems bad.
I.e., it powers on, displays a picture for a few seconds, and then shuts itself down (no power light). Pressing the power button again repeats the symptoms. Ad infinitum.
At work, we just replace the unit. At home however, my budget for screens is limited. So, are these things repairable? Is it worth the hassle?
If anyone does think that THEY can repair it, I'll bring it to the spring Swap Meet, and you get a free dead monitor (which now makes this post on-topic!), since I just don't seem to have the time for another project right now, and more trash always seems to come to me.
Basically, I just want to know if I should throw it out now, or not.

Chardon to mark second shooting anniversary by promoting kindness
(Chardon) — Students at Chardon High School, where three students were killed in a shooting two years ago, are being urged to be kind to one another in memory of their fallen classmates.
A statement from the school district said students are being asked "to perform simple intentional acts of kindness" as the second anniversary of the shootings at Chardon High School approaches on Thursday.
Chardon High School principal Andy Fetchik tells The News-Herald that "our students continue to focus on others above themselves."
After a private assembly for students Thursday, the public is invited to an evening vigil on the front lawn of the high school.
Nineteen-year-old T.J. Lane pleaded guilty and is serving life sentences for the rampage at the school.

It's very good to know that. Is there any way I could have known that

Shares in airlines were looking pretty sickly today as fears of a new Asian bird flu pandemic led to a sell-off with investors worried that global air traffic will succumb.
British Airways owner IAG nosedived on the blue-chip index, plummeting 12.2p to 240.2p and easyJet — whose trading update today (its first since joining the FTSE 100) was a bit mixed — lost 42p to 1055p.
H7N9 has killed six people in Asia and caused investors in Hong Kong to sell shares in airlines last night.
So far, the reported cases have been in China but there are concerns that were it to spread it would hit air travel worldwide. The panic-selling could be overblown and one analyst told Reuters: "For now, investors are pricing in the worst, although if you look back four years ago, Chinese authorities did a good job dealing with the pandemic then, and the airline sector didn't suffer much."
Japan's Nikkei index recorded a four-year high — reaching 13,000 mark before falling back slightly — a level not seen since 2008 as investors reacted to the Bank of Japan's stimulus measures. But the rest of Asia and Europe's stocks wouldn't follow suit. Investors just couldn't find any reason to be cheerful and the benchmark index over here declined for a third day as the global macroeconomic picture remained bleak. The FTSE 100 slumped 45.46 points to 6298.66.
A surprise riser for a second day was Kazakh miner Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation. Analysts at UBS and Liberum Capital are now fans of the troubled firm after shares tumbled to new lows on Wednesday. The shares climbed 7.4p to 242.7p today.
Barclays' research on the impact of the EU Financial Transaction Tax found that the worst-hit of the UK listed stocks would be brokers Tullett Prebon, down 13.1p to 252.6p, Icap, 4.8p off at 301p and market London Stock Exchange, 11p lower to 1259p.
Small-cap pub group Punch Taverns reported a fall in half-yearly pre-tax profits but it has said it will meet its profit targets and said its ongoing capital restructuring plans are on track too. The shares responded by adding 1.12p to 11.75p.
AIM-listed Software Radio Technology said its results for the year will be above market expectations. The group, which creates technology to help ships avoid crashes — a nautical air traffic control — chugged up 2.25p to 22.5p.
Providence Resources and Lansdowne Oil & Gas updated on their Barryroe field in the Celtic Sea. They said 346 million barrels of oil could be recovered. Providence, up 17.5p to 640p, owns 80% of the project and Lansdowne, which owns 20%, slipped 2.38p to 43.75p.
Domino's pizza
Peel Hunt has raised Domino's from a Hold and it is easy to see why. The nation's favourite pizza-maker has wowed hungry Britons by stuffing its crusts with sausage and yesterday posted first-quarter numbers which "after a relatively lacklustre first few weeks", show a "solid start". Shares at 571p are a buying opportunity up to 628p, it adds.
Dump shares in Mothercare, Cantor Fitzgerald advises. The retailer for young mothers is publishing fourth-quarter numbers next week and the broker expects "to see little progress in the UK turnaround". It adds competition is fierce and gives a target of 200p for shares presently about 319.5p.
"Boring is good", Investec says as it implores us to hang onto shares in Wincanton. The broker says the support services business "delivered a clean trading update" yesterday and, though it is concerned about debt, it feels "a gradually improving trading position must help in this respect". Shares are 45p; the target price is under review.

Corneal Ulcers
My older male boxer, Duncan, is suffering from a corneal ulcer in his left eye and I was curious if anyone on the board has had issues with their boxers. If so, what treatment option did you opt for, was it successful, how long did it take to heal, and was there a re-occurence?
Here is our story so far as we have been to the vet multiple times...they have told us that this is a degenerative condition that is common in boxers.
At our first visit, we were given an ointment and it actually seemed to work as the eye looked clear on the re-check visit. Within a week Duncan was favoring the eye again, so we went back. This time they gave us a topical antibiotic solution. There was very little improvement at the re-check, so they sent us to an eye specialist. By the time we went to the specialist the eye had obviously become infected. They gave us a couple of different eye drops, oral antibiotics, and pain meds. They also performed a swab technique to remove some "debris" and hopefully stimulate blood vessels in the eye to surround the cornea and begin the repair process. Earlier this week, we went for a re-check with the specialist and it appears the swab technique did kick start the healing process, but, the eye still shows signs of infection and they aren't optimistic that it will repair itself. We are continuing the treatment for another couple of weeks to see how much more it will heal by itself. They also said that they would not perform a keratotomy until the infection is totally gone.
Anyway, I would be interested in hearing about any situations any of you have had with this!
Here is a pic of my greybeard...you can see the cloudy eye (and his dirty nose from peanut butter sauce.)

Re: Corneal Ulcers
have had several with corneal ulcers. My opthamoligist told me that he has never seen one that didn't eventually heal. that being said, the infection is what needs to clear up right now. I have done the third eye-lid flap, the keratatomy, contact lense and the swab cleaning. I have had the same luck with all. All dogs ulcer eventually healed. I would continue with the debrading swab again if needed.
The ulcers did sometimes happen again with Zoe, but they always healed over again eventually. I would say the healing took anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 weeks regardless of how they were treated.

Re: Corneal Ulcers
Ollie had an indolent ulcer this summer ... the ointment didn't do the trick, so we had the grid keratatomy done and it healed up quick after that. The grid keratotamy is a quick and relatively cheap procedure ...
The veterinarian opthalmologist did say there is a high % of reoccurrence though...
Good luck!

We had a similar issue with our boxer. I believe it started when we were playing frisbee on a windy day and the frisbee hit him in the eye. We noticed a few days later that his eye looked cloudy like the original poster shows. We took him to the vet and were given some ointment and later given some drops. The following visit to the vet, the eye stain continued to show an infection after several days of using the drops and ointment. The vet then decided to do surgery. They did a "corneal scrape" (their terms), put in a contact lens and sewed his third eyelid shut. Unfortunately, the stitches came loose before we came to pick him up. We took him back to the vet for a follow up a week later and they didn't think it was healing quick enough and they thought we should come back for some blood work.
Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to give some background to the issue. It seems that this doesn't quickly heal according to others here. Would you suggest waiting another week or two (totaling 2-3 weeks after surgery) before we go to an eye specialist? At this point, I have lost confidence with the vet we have been going to. Thanks in advance for your input.

I'd give it some time. The eye specialists don't seem in a big hurry to do surgery. Our last Boxer had three ulcers that eventually healed. If I recall the first eye drops were antibiotics, but then they switched to drops that were antibiotics and cortisone combined. Maybe it was necessary to get rid of the inflammation in order for the antibiotics to work. Hope things improve.

So last night we had to take Cosmo into see the vet. He was really trying to get at his left eye (but because he still has on an e-collar from his neutering, he couldn't do it). At any rate, my poor baby has a ulcer in his left eye. The vet has him on two types of eye drops: Atropine Sulfate and Tobramycin. Has anyone here gone this route for treatment and if so...did it work? I hate to see my baby suffering. Now he has to wear his e-collar for another 10 days.

Eye ulcers
My boxer Jiggs has had three surgerys for eye ulcers. Never had a problem until after he was four years old. The first ulcer medication did not work and he had to have surgery and then meds to heal it up. Three months later he got another in the opposite eye and medication alone healed that one. About two months after that was healed he got an ulcer in the left eye again, (first eye) meds did not work and two surgerys later and medication he is all healed up. We are now doing prevention. He now is the coolest looking dog in the neighborhood. When ever he goes out he wears Doggles. (Goggles for dogs) Took about two weeks to train him while wearing e-collar. Now he just stops by the door and waits for us to put them on before going outside or for a walk. ( $30.00 from Doggles.com) He does not even try to get them off any more. We also use an eye lubricate. Gen Teal twice a day to wash any possible eye irritants from his eyes. Can be purchased across the counter at any pharmacy for about $10.00. Much cheaper than the vet bill. So far no more problems. I will keep you posted.

insulating exterior of concrete slab home..
Hi everyone,
I've done some searching but have not found a direct answer to my question.
How would I go about insulating the exposed section of my concrete slab of my home?
There is about a 5 inch section on the north and west side of my house that is exposed to the elements. In the winter time the interior floors are always cooler on these sides of the house.
My idea from researching was to use some rigid foam board insulation (pink owens corning stuff or similiar) and dig down where possible an additional 5 inches below the ground level and use some liquid nail and glue the foam board to the exterior of the concrete slab.
I don't know if this is the correct method..it seems to me like the insulation would soak up water from the ground. would it?
also if my idea is correct, how could i cover up the pink insulation all along the slab edge???
I by no means know what I am talking about so ideas and suggestions are welcome!
thanks in advance!!!
Not an expert here, but there are issues with insects/critters and exterior foam insulation. There are some products intended for exterior use, but foam is not one of them. I assume the interior is finished and can't be insulated?? But below grade floors are always colder, usually a fairly constant 50-55deg.
thanks bill.
i thought i had read that the pink owens corning stuff..was treated with borax so bugs leave it alone... i could have been reading wrong though... i don't really recall....
well the house is a single story slab home and is already all finished...no basement. so i can't get to the inside of the slab..
anyone else???? anyone??? bueller???
Disclaimer: I am not an authority on this subject matter. I returned yesterday from a five week stay in Fairbanks, Alaska. I had the fortune to observe, and go "ask how to do" some weatherization projects in my daughters neighborhood. There is a very large "weatherization" project going on in Alaks now. Insulating the exterior of basement walls which have some wall surface above grade, is a popular project, and was one project I watched. The contractors were not hesitant to answer my questions after I told them I was from S. GA., had a business doing home repair, and wanted to learn why and how they were doing-what they were doing. Some of these homes were built in the early '70s and the basement walls were just covered with a sealant and then dirt. Not energy efficient in today's world. Ditches were dug around the basement walls, the full wall depth, wide enough for workmen to get into easily. All foreign materials which could be removed, were. A new coating of a hot tar like material was sprayed on to walls to full wall depth. 2 x 4's were nailed (shot) onto the walls for furring strips, four inch (4") thick white ridgid styrofoam insulation was placed onto the walls with a glue material from a warm five gallon bucket, and the area over the 2 x 4's was sprayed with an expanding foam material (like GreatFoam) which was trimmed to match the styrofoam depth. A rubber-like membrane was placed on top of all this, then sheets of aluminum were placed as the exterior siding, up to 12" above grade. Some of these homes are being stripped down to the framing, with new exterior insulation (styrofoam of various thickness according to the home) placed on, then a regular siding membrane (local building supply brand name), and vinyl as the last exterior layer. This is exactly how my daughters home was done two years ago. Her basement/den is always the same, constant temp without using heat in this area. A comfortable 66-68º. Now, granted that the Alaskan environment does not have "bugs" as most of us know them, I don't think there is a problem with bugs damaging the below grade insulation. "revegab00"- I doubt that you live in Alaska, it doesn't sound like you have a basement, but you could modify this approach if you think it may help. One thing I regret is that I did not take pictures of this process. Maybe this will help, David
Be safe, Gary

In a couple of weeks I'm going to buy a new PC + monitor.
This PC is meant to be just for work 80% Photoshop (painting), 15% zBrush(high-res character modeling) and 5% Maya(Vray renders)
I have read a lot of reviews on the different components, that's how I have chosen them but if you know about this stuff and have any idea or thought please share it. Its a lot of money and I want it to be well spent.
cpu: Intel Core i7-3770K 3.5Ghz Box Socket =285 / 377$
mobo: Asus P8Z77-V Deluxe =219 / 290$
ram:G.Skill RipjawsZ DDR3 2400 PC3-19200 16GB 4X4GB CL10 =130 / 172$
hdd: Samsung 840 Pro SSD Series 128GB SATA3 Basic Kit =134 / 177$
case: NZXT H2 Classic Series Negra =93 / 123$
cpu fan: Noctua NH-U12P SE2 = 60 / 79$
psu: Be Quiet Pure Power L8 CM 730W Modular =87 / 115$
monitor: Dell UltraSharp U2412M 24" LED IPS =249 / 329$
Total = 1257.00 / 1664.00 $
The laptop I currently have will be for gaming, movies, internet, etc..
I will use the laptop(through WiFi) or external hard drives to save finished works. Meaning that the 128GB hdd is enough to have windows + zBrush + Photoshop + current project files.
The case, power supply and CPU fan are chosen to be as quiet as possible. Bearing quality but not going crazy with the price.
WiFi, sound card and graphic card are integrated into the mother board.
Here is my main doubt.
My idea is to get a quadro 2000 and an Ultrasharp PremierColor monitor (or similar) in 6 months or so. Around ( 1000 / 1324$ more )
Meanwhile my options about the gpu are 3.
1-Live with the hd4000 integrated in the cpu until I can upgrade it.
2-get a quadro 600 for 173 / 229$
3-or equivalent gtx for same price... GTX 650 Ti DirectCU II OC 1GB GDDR5 164 / 217$
The hdd and ram I think I got it right from the reviews I read.
But for the motherboard I read a lot of mixed reviews so I'm confused the brand I can chose from are Asus, Asrock, Gigabyte and Msi
If you could share your thoughts I would be very grateful


text: I have a Premiere XL and it looks like I'm going to have to completely replace the internal hard drive. The problem (for me) is that I've never seen the kind of connector the HD is using. What is that? eSATA? SATA-2? This page (http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=444083) references 13. WD3200AVVS 320GB SATA-2 hard drive but I've seen other posts call it an eSATA drive. Which is it? Are they the same thing? And I guess I'll need a USB <-> eSATA cable in order to install the TiVo OS image on to the drive? Has anyone run in to any problems doing this? Or do people first add the drive as a slave on their PC and install the image that way? I'd like to get a 1 TB replacement drive but I read a few posts which say that the Premiere XL doesn't support such large drives? Is that really the case? thnx, Christoph

Writing in the July 2006 issue of Physics Today, Murray Peshkin describes his experiences in speaking to small groups -- "service clubs such as Rotary, high-school and college students of science and science journalism, a school-based community event, a League of Women Voters chapter, a Unitarian church, and a microscopy club" -- about science, religion, and evolution education. "The response to my talks has been almost uniformly positive," he reports.
A brief story in Nature lists [Link broken] the top five science blogs -- "those written by working scientists covering scientific issues" -- by popularity, including P. Z. Myers's Pharyngula and the collectively authored The Panda's Thumb, both of which provide a wealth of information and commentary on the creationism/evolution debate.
On April 10, 2006 the school board in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, voted 4-1 to amend their Science Policy 401. According to an
article in the April 11 issue of the Albuquerque Journal, the policy, adopted in August, 2005 by a 3-2 vote, had been strongly opposed by district science teachers and others because of wording which seemed to promote teaching intelligent design. A board member who has opposed the policy told the Journal that it was "...
Michigan's House Bill 5251 passed the House Education Committee by a vote of 15-2 on June 28, 2006, according to a report [Link broken] in the Saginaw News (June 29, 2006).
No fewer than four antievolution bills were introduced in the Oklahoma legislature during its 2006 session: HB 2107 (encouraging the presentation of "the full range of scientific views" with regard to "biological or chemical origins of life"), HB 2526 (authorizing school districts to teach "intelligent design"), SB 1959 (encouraging the presentation of "the full range of scientific views"), and HCR 1043 (encouraging the state board of education and local school boards to ensure that students are able to "critically evaluate scientific theories including, but not limited to, the theory of evolution" with regard to "biological or chemical origins of life").

Regulators cracking down on cantaloupe farmers
Rocky Ford Growers Association welcomes inspections
DENVER (AP) - Federal regulators are offering help to state inspectors, warning cantaloupe farmers and packers that they will be testing melons for pathogens this year after two years of illness and recalls.
The warnings were issued Monday following a listeria outbreak traced to Colorado's Jensen Farms that killed 33 people in 2011. Another outbreak last year was traced to salmonella at an Indiana cantaloupe packer.
The Denver Post reports the Food and Drug Administration does not routinely target an industry for scrutiny, and inspectors usually check smaller farms or food packers once every few years.
The Rocky Ford Growers Association President Michael Hirakata welcomes the inspections and hopes it will boost consumer confidence.
"We wouldn't feed anything to you, that we wouldn't feed to our own family," Hirakata said.
The Association started in 2001 to protect the reputation of their melons.
It has built a new sanitary packing plant as a response to safety concerns. The farmers have also implemented new training and inspection practices.
A list of their safety measures can be found on its website, Rocky Ford Growers Association.

Four Tar Heels have qualified for the 2013 NCAA Fencing Championships, to be held March 21-24 at the Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio, Texas. Gillian Litynski will compete in women's sabre, Joseph Alter in men's foil and Jackson Bryant-Comstock and Sam Austin in men's sabre.
This is the second consecutive appearance at the NCAA Championships for Litynski, a sophomore from Niskayuna, N.Y. She finished 18th overall in women's sabre in 2012.
Alter, a senior from Charlotte, N.C., also will be making his second NCAA appearance. He qualified as a sophomore and finished 23rd in men's foil in the 2011 field.
This will be the first NCAA appearance for Austin, a junior from Dix Hills, N.Y., and for Bryant-Comstock, a senior from Durham who attended Durham School of the Arts.
At last Saturday's NCAA Mid-Atlantic/South Region Championships, Litynski took fourth, Alter fifth, Bryant-Comstock ninth and Austin 10th. NCAA berths are awarded based on performance throughout the season as well as finish at the Regional.
"They all had a phenomenal year and obviously very good regional championships," UNC coach Ron Miller said. "In men's sabre both Sam Austin and Jackson Bryant-Comstock were consistent all year and showed that same consistency throughout the tournament.
"In women's sabre, Gill Litynski has been consistent all year - in fact for two years. Although with a slightly slow start at the beginning of the final, really came on strong and had a great finish and earned her second berth to the NCAA.
"In men's foil, Joe Alter probably had the best performance of his career. A very, very strong field in the final - the hard part in foil is to get to the final, to get all the way through the four rounds and get there. So once he did he really turned it on."
Carolina's four qualifiers marks the most for the program since five Tar Heels made the NCAA field in 2008. Miller credits his team's preparation all season for the relatively high number of qualifiers.
"We probably had the toughest schedule of any school in the country," Miller said. "Out of the 45 dual meets we had, 35 of those were against top 10 or top 20 teams. It was a tough schedule. So we're battled hardened - I think that's the best way to look at it."
Fencers compete in a round-robin format of five-touch bouts. After the round-robin, the top four finishers will fence in semifinal 15-touch bouts, with the winners fencing to determine first and second places, and the losers being awarded a tie for third place.
An institution's finish in the championships will be based on points earned by each individual. A team will be awarded one point for each victory by its student-athletes for the duration of the championships.
"With four people there, we're tenth in the seeding going into the tournament," Miller said. "It's hard with any school going in with four to move into the upper echelon - the next closest team to us has nine qualifiers. But we have some good company with four qualifiers - Duke, Temple and some other schools all have a good chance just like we do. So it's a matter of how well we bear down and do it once we get there."
The men's championship will take place March 21-22 and the women's March 23-24.

Ham radio classes to be offered in November
September 28. 2013 1:48AM
Ham radio, or amateur radio, allows people to communicate via radio over distances ranging from a few to thousands of miles. Unlike phones, amateur radio does not rely on a network which can go down in critical times.
There are more than 5,000 amateur operators in New Hampshire. They get involved in many communication events, ranging from disasters to community events like parades.
The FCC requires that prospective amateur operators pass a test to prove that they understand rules and regulations, safety and basic electronics. The Nov. 9 class will provide training for the first license level.
The class is open to everyone, but pre-enrollment is required. For information, contact Mitch Stern at 1-800-639-1766; email is firstname.lastname@example.com, or at hamclass.net.

Ram fans from across the nation have played a key role in the Ram Charge membership drive in support of the Ram Club scholarship fund.
Ram Club donations help provide scholarship support to CSU's nearly 400 student-athletes.
More than 100 Ram Captains accepted the challenge of encouraging 250 new members to join the Ram Club during a six-week drive beginning in July. Their hard work and dedication to CSU Athletics made a tremendous impact.
During the campaign, 268 fans joined the Ram Club, resulting in $62,500 in support of student-athlete scholarships. Ram Captains also succeeded in encouraging over $13,000 in upgraded memberships.
In addition, season tickets to fall and winter sports were sold. In all, over $76,000 in new scholarship funds for CSU student-athletes was raised.
"Ram Captains became part of our team this year and really took ownership in the success of our programs," said annual fund director Doug Patmore. "The Ram Club community is growing and becoming more representative of the immense number of Ram fans. Ram Captains made a real impact for in support of our student-athletes."
To put the success of the Ram Charge in perspective:
- The new members secured during the Ram Charge drive equals 40% of the total new membership during the 2012 year.
- The total scholarship support raised is equivalent to nearly four full-ride scholarships for CSU student-athletes.
- Ram Club members who joined during the Ram Charge represent almost 12% of total Ram Club membership this year.
The Ram Charge kickoff event, held in the football locker room, featured messages from coaches Jim McElwain, Tom Hilbert, Jen Fisher, Woody Woodard, and other CSU Athletics leaders about the importance of growing the level of support leading into the 2012-13 year.
The Ram Charge drive coincided with investments by University and athletics leadership aimed at elevating the profile of Colorado State University. Enthusiasm from fans around the nation has risen and Ram Club membership has grown to over 2,300 members. While members' support has resulted in over $1.6 million in athletic scholarship funding, the Ram Club community has taken advantage of increased special access to CSU Athletics during the past year.
As the 2013 year approaches, members can expect even more value for their investment. Benefits offered to Ram Club members are designed to enhance the fan experience; from priority seating and special ticketing opportunities, to access to coaches and players, those that donate to the Ram Club are rewarded throughout the year for their generosity.
Ram Club members will have the chance to renew their 2013 membership early by making a year-end gift in December and can make gifts over a period of months. To make the most of your fan experience, visit the official Ram Club website at www.CSURamClub.com or contact the CSU Athletics Development office at (970) 491-4666.
CSU Athletics extends its sincere thanks to the following Ram Captains who participated in the Ram Charge drive:

text: SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The traditional Thanksgiving turkey and holiday ham are driving home cooks across America to culinary boredom. And while there may be little room to experiment with tradition, there are plenty of other opportunities during the holidays to shake up the flavor, such as the pick-me-up Christmas Eve cocktail or the Black Friday breakfast. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121109/AQ07248) Spice Islands® partnered with Gaby Dalkin of What's Gaby Cooking and Lindsay and Taylor Landis of Love and Olive Oil to share great food served throughout the holiday season, expanding beyond the Thanksgiving and Christmas meals. "I think like most people I'm not just entertaining on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, but am making meals for my family on the days surrounding the holidays," Dalkin said. "These are times when I feel like I can stray from the ordinary holiday tradition and experiment with my recipes." Dalkin's first tip for wowing guests on what she calls "the off-holiday" meals is to keep unexpected snacks and drinks for holiday drop-ins. "I make a big batch of my Sweet and Spicy Roasted Nuts right before the holidays, so I always have it available," Dalkin said. "This recipe is the perfect combination of sweet and savory flavor with sea salt, cayenne pepper and of course, the warm touch of cinnamon. The flavor catches people off guard in a good way." You can find Gaby's Sweet and Spicy Roasted Nuts recipe here: http://www.spiceislands.com/Recipe/Sweet_and_Spicy_Roasted_Nuts And as with any great snack, it's important to have a great cocktail. To add extra flavor to holiday drinks, Dalkin recommends dropping a half of a Spice Islands® Bourbon Vanilla Bean in a bottle of vodka or bourbon and letting it sit for three days to infuse the flavor. "I do this every holiday because it isn't ordinary, and I hate for anything I serve to be ordinary," Dalkin said. "My favorite drink to make with homemade vanilla bourbon is Bourbon Vanilla Smash. This is vanilla-infused bourbon with lemon, apple cider and Spice Islands® Saigon Cinnamon. "It's the perfect Christmas Eve cocktail," Dalkin said. For Lindsay Landis of Love and Olive Oil, much of the same is true. "I always create interesting drinks for my seasonal entertaining, and this year, I'm making something special for the kids," Landis said.
