Tony Fernandes has launched a withering attack on the players who have taken his money but have failed to keep QPR in the Premier League.
QPR's relegation was confirmed on Sunday when they drew 0-0 with Reading, who will join them in the Championship next season.
Despite ploughing millions in to the club to fund the signings of Park Ji-sung, Jose Bosingwa and Chris Samba among others, neither Harry Redknapp nor Mark Hughes could get enough out of a squad that was expected to be challenging for a top-half position this season.
Fernandes, who confirmed that Redknapp would stay on as manager yesterday for the Championship campaign ahead, has bit his tongue all year about the team's poor performances, but yesterday he let rip at the players who he thinks have let the club down badly.
"It's heartbreaking for me when we lose. I don't want to go out, I just want to stay at home," the QPR owner told the club's website.
"And I am someone who has dealt with success and dealt with disappointment.
"But there is nothing I have gone through that is as disappointing as losing a football game.
"I haven't said it throughout the season because it wasn't right to be said, but it hurt me when I saw some of the players who didn't feel the way I felt. And in fact, in their case, it should be worse because this is their job, it's their life. It wasn't a good feeling."
Bosingwa received the brunt of criticism from fans for smiling and laughing following the final whistle at the Madejski Stadium despite his team's relegation.
"It was probably the low point for me when I saw the reaction of some of the players," Fernandes continued. "It has shocked me because it is something that is alien to me.
"Whatever I have done as a job, for whoever has hired me, I put in 150 per-cent. It's in my character. If I am taking someone else's money, then I am going to work bloody hard for that person.
"It's an alien concept to me that someone takes someone's salary, doesn't put 100 per cent in, thinks: 'Oh, we lost. No big deal. What club are we going to tonight?' That is an alien concept to me.
"It wasn't right to say anything during the season, but I noticed everything and I am a little bit wiser for it now."
Fernandes claimed the Redknapp will not be forced to sell the likes of Loic Remy and Jermaine Jenas, who have performed well this season.
The QPR boss will be 67 by the end of next season, but he was in a buoyant mood about taking on the challenge of leading Rangers back in to the top flight next season.
Redknapp said: "We're all very sorry with the way this season has ended.
"It's been a disaster really, a really disappointing season for everyone - the owners, the staff, the fans; everyone associated to the club.
"We're going to give it a real good go next season though and hopefully get this club back to where it belongs."

The only thing I would be concerned with, on these graphs, would be the very first 3 fill-ups or the 3 fill-ups following a master reset/battery disconnect. By the fourth tank, in my experience, I am at the mileage my car will get (not counting extreme changes in driving habits, another discussion).
We're talking about 2 different things then; I was always referring to the myth of long term mileage increase due to slow and steady break in. In your statement "it takes the PCM
a while
to 'learn' our styles and habits" I took "a while" to mean many months and thousands of miles. Like the 3rd poster on this thread who said "At about 1,500 miles I started seeing a steady, noticable increase in MPGs." I did the non-scientific analysis to look into long-term break in which many on this forum believe in, in other words a steady increase in mileage over the first 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Doesn't seem to happen with any consistency across the board.
And that's what I meant by Craigsfocus's graph supports my theory. If you were to apply a trendline to his graph it would show a pretty flat average of 30-31 mpg over his 3 months or so of data.

I see what you're saying now, but everyone should just throw out and ignore their first tank's mileage. Most dealers "fill up" a tank for delivery but who knows how full they filled it, and if they drove it around some after filling it up. You'd have no way to know and it would throw off your first tank mpg calculation, and probably your 2nd tank's as well.

Anyone heard of Lenny Magill and his training videos?
Lenny Magill
Great video's by a great guy who is knowledgable in firearms & combat tranning I own most of his dvd's & they are the best investment if you are serious about CC & defense, get them for your home library.
I think the customer service is great. I recently got the wrong size in a product because I ordered it wrong. and the right size was sent right away with no extra shipping cost .
I'm sorry but I strongly disagree, his videos are useless except for the absolute beginer.
I have a dozen or so of them, and I have learned a lot from them and I think he puts out a quality product.
Does he still have that wind tunnel-tested hair? :danceban:
I got his material on the AR-15, CC dryfire, and on the combat shotgun. His material is top notch and he is great at explaining them in an easy to understand manner. His AR-15 and shotgun DVDs helped me become more confident in field stripping/reassembling them as well as helped me improve my long gun handling skills for self-defense applications. And he is also in great shape, which motivates me to continue keeping myself fit.
Before you start home workout warm up your body and get ready for exercise,
this workout is for the chest, triceps and even involve your back and shoulder muscles,
Dips are alternative to developing chest and triceps muscles...
I've seem his videos advertised in some of the gun mags. They mostly seem to be geared toward the beginner, for which I'm sure there's good information. I don't know if there's much available from him for more advanced shooters.
I have some of his 1997 videos on my computer I obtained from somewhere. I realize things have changed over the years and at the time these were high speed but I agree they are for basic shooters.
His new stuff may be better have not seen any of it.
See now I had to go back and watch some of them. The wind tunnel hair, girls in cut off blue jean shorts and sports bras, Miami vice attire and music, his wife shooting in mini skirt, stiletto heels and my favorite her drawing and shooting a snubbie but when you pause it she has her eyes closed. Gotta love it.
I have some and watched more. We he started there was very little in the way of competition. Today, in my opinion, you can do better. Depending on what your looking for, check Suarez International or Panteao Productions.
It is OK information for a beginning shooter. Aside from the dated production values, the techniques are valid. Just saying that Lenny Magill's biggest fan is....Lenny Magill.
I've seen several and they are hit and miss (the older ones are more likely a miss). OK if you're a beginner, but likely not that helpful if you've had any experience or training. The Magpul training videos are great, as are the OpsGear.com videos are pretty good. Both a much better choice IMO.
While I don't think that much for the videos, his Glockstore.com (online and real store in San Diego) are great.
+1 on Suarez International
His video's are a good starting point for a beginner, then go take one of the Gun Fighting Courses from more than one of the folks you read about here including the one above which I have a lot of time and $$$ invested in.

Listening to Annbjørg Lien's latest modern folk effort, Baba Yaga, is much like giving over your autonomy and partaking of a rich musical journey. There's no way you can just "listen" to the album. From the opening flutes and chanting of the first piece, "Loki," you are snared and tossed upon the swirling seas of modern Norwegian folk, as envisioned by Lien.
Annbjørg Lien, according to the liner notes, is a former child prodigy—she's certainly still a prodigy, just all grown up—and it shows in her playing. Her melodies are moody and powerful. From the descending anguish at the end of "Loki" to the lingering melancholy of "January," there's no mistaking her mastery. You're heart will swell with anguish at her lightest touch, your feet will move when she bounces along the fiddle. Studied in both Norwegian folk and in classical, Lien's playing reflects a comfortable synthesis of the two, as does the album as a whole.
Oft times a musician's skills are sold short by the framework of the song they devise to showcase their talent. Not so here. The album's songs are not excuses for Lien to show her stuff; indeed, the truth is that her playing melds perfectly with every track, never overpowering the atmosphere of the songs themselves. An example: "W.," a lyrical masterpiece written in memory of Hans W. Brimi, another fiddler, melds fiddle, flute and strings into a moving, sorrowful dirge—but it's more than this too. It is full of sorrow, to be sure, for this fiddler's passing, but the instrumental is tinged by a celebration, a happiness, something that is hard to come by in most music. Annbjørg Lien conveys both the sorrow of his passing and the happiness of his memory with artful acuity.
The third track, "Astra," in the liner notes accompanied only by the simple explanation "eternal light," moved me to no end. I was up half the night with "Astra" playing over and over in my ears, inspired by the mournful vocals and the sad strength of Lien's fiddle. Very few songs inspire me as "Astra" did, and still does.
The most interesting facet of Baba Yaga is how naturally the traditional melts into the modern. The phrasings and the melodies are mainly traditional folk, but on most tracks there's a hint of modernity. "Baba Yaga," inspired by Mussorgsky's Pictures of an Exhibition, is a prime example. Backed by modern rock rhythm, Annbjørg Lien rages over the backdrop, her fiddle soaring high and low. Baba Yaga still manages to embrace a traditional vein, however, and it's this happy middle ground that highlights the entire album.
What else can I say? If you like moody, sometimes dark, folk music, punctuated by beautiful musicianship and artistry, then you will find nothing to dislike here. I cannot recommend this album enough.

For many years I played in various blues bands as a hobby. After an engagement one evening, I was traveling back home with the stage equipment loaded in the back of my open pickup. My wife was in a her car and was a designated driver. Her wireless phone battery died so I loaned her mine to take with her as she ferried several friends home earlier.
About 3 miles from my home, I passed an older pickup truck that was traveling 30 MPH under the speed limit. Suddenly, the truck roared to life and passed me and blew the stop sign at the next intersection. I backed down my speed and allowed them to gain a distant lead. The next intersection was a 3-way stop where I found the truck stopped, straddeling both lanes which blocked my path. The 2 occupants bolted from the truck, leaving both doors open which futher obstructed my passage.
The pair of young men were a Mutt and Jeff crew who seemed very agitated at my passing them a mile up the road. I calmly asked them to return to their vehicle and allow me to pass. I did this several times in an attempt to diffuse their Budweiser anger. They both tried to goad me into leaving my truck which I ignored. The whole time I kept thinking that if I tried to run, they would follow me and find out where I lived. And, I didn't want to do any evasive manuvers with several $1000 worth of sound equipment in the back. I also had the thought this might be a jack attempt as they surely saw all of the equipment while passing each other. What these 2 clowns didn't see was the .38 snubby I had already pulled from the console the first instant I smelled trouble. My SA was on red alert...440. I continued to try to reason with them that I didn't want any trouble and that I be allowed to proceed. I didn't see any weapons but the big one kept his hand behind him as though it was in his back pocket.
At this point, another car pulled up behind me wanting to proceed like I did. The 2 punks did not seem to even care there was another party present and refused to yield. I heard a car door, then I heard my buddy's girlfriend ask if I had been in an accident. Now she was standing 5' from these guys with no idea of the potential danger she had just stepped into. Thinking quickly, I pulled up the snubby and eared back the hammer. I told my friend to return to her car and call 911 and report an attempted car-jacking and to send an ambulance, that shots have been fired. The 2 hoodlums decided they had just received an education in social behavoir and barreled out there. They actually left before my friend even made it back to her car. We waited until they were out of sight so they couldn't tell which direction I turned towards home.
Now, I've had some QB's tell me I shouldn't have pulled the hammer back due to maybe slipping and perhaps I shouldn't have. The sound of that double click instantly got their attention though. I'm no stranger to andrenalin and felt that I was in complete control to the point that I intended to shoot if the big one made a move to that pocket he seemed so fond of. He was also nearest to my friend and there was no way in hell was I going to let him make a grab for her. I have thought about this episode for 2 years now and I simply don't think I could have played it any other way. I perceived a threat and defended myself and my friend. I had been threatened, cursed and invited out of my vehicle from which the Castle Doctrine protects my actions in this state. I did not file a report and I really don't know why except when the andrenalin dumped, I was simply exhausted and went to bed.
Since then, I've retired from the live music thing and only do session work in studios during more sutable hours. I also bought the wife a spare phone battery and a car charger as well as added a truck cap on the bed of my rigg. Additionally, about a week later I spotted that old truck broken down near there on the interstate with a LEO tow tag on it. Stolen or broken down? I just grinned to myself and thanked karma for a job well done.

"I think it's very possible that it's not good," Sheila Heti says. "I don't really know."
Heti, the celebrated author, is talking about a play she's written, All Our Happy Days Are Stupid, which opens in Toronto on Thursday, and if it sounds as if she's putting on the modesty, you need to remember her reputation for brutal self-assessment. That was the primary fuel, after all, for How Should a Person Be?, the autobiographical novel that shot her to fame in the United States last year after The New Yorker splashed out three pages on a review, including a full-page colour photo of Heti. And she has good reason to be humble: All Our Happy Days Are Stupid has spent most of its 12 years as an unloved child, a curiosity that some considered so misshapen, so unredeemable, that it was best left in a desk drawer, locked, where it could do the world no harm.
But then came the publication of How Should a Person Be? in which the protagonist Sheila fails, epically, to finish writing a play. Last year, the Toronto-based director Jordan Tannahill reached out to Heti to inquire if, in fact, the play was real, and whether she would be open to having it produced at his Kensington Market storefront performance space Videofag.
It turns out that the play had been commissioned by Nightwood Theatre in 2001, shortly after the publication of Heti's The Middle Stories. "I finished it pretty quickly, in real life," she says, sipping a decaf latte one afternoon at a café off Queen Street West. Three directors tried their hands at it: All failed, so in the spring of 2006, she finally gave up. "It wasn't good, somehow, and I didn't know if it was the fault of the play or the fault of the production," she explains. "I kept trying to rewrite it, and it didn't get any better."
That could be because, as Heti admits, she's not much of a playwright. (She says she knew this when she got the commission, but didn't tell Nightwood. "I needed the money," she says with a laugh.) Or it could be that, as How Should a Person Be? caustically chronicles, "everything was wrong at the time."
Then there's the fact that All Our Happy Days Are Stupid is a tough nut to crack. It's an absurdist piece about two families, the Oddis and the Sings, who bump into each other while on vacation in France. When the Sings' 12-year-old son Daniel goes missing during a parade, the Oddis, whose daughter Jenny knows Daniel from school, try to proceed as if nothing is wrong: They're on vacation, and vacations are supposed to be fun. But the crisis creates permanent fissures in both families.
Readers who enjoyed the fraught central friendship between the characters Sheila and Margaux in How Should a Person Be? will hear multiple echoes in All Our Happy Days Are Stupid: in the tension between the two women; in the poor role model that Mrs. Oddi is for her daughter; and especially in many of the characters' halting searches for a way to be, and to be happy.
For Heti, the play served as something of a maquette for the novel that followed. Not that she realized it as she cranked out those multiple drafts. Back then, "I was like, 'I don't know what this play is about.' But writing the book, I can see exactly what the play is about." Now, "I feel that that play is speaking directly to me as the 36-year-old woman I am right now. Whereas, if it was produced when it was supposed to be, it wouldn't have meant so much to me. It almost feels like there was a message that I can read now and understand."
If everything was wrong when All Our Happy Days first came into the world, everything now seems to be right. The cast of 13 is made up of a mix of professional actors and friends of Heti's, who are performing for a cut of the box office along with whatever money is raised from a $2,500 Indiegogo crowdfunding effort.
"There seems to be this strange peace around the whole production," says Heti. "I'm not sure if there was something in Jordan's idea of what the play was about, and then the idea of casting friends of mine rather than professional actors? Or if it was just something in my own perception of the play that changed over the last 10 years."
She mulls this, then says: "Either it was fine all along, or theatre is so specific to the production that it wasn't fine until now."
Still, Heti, who dropped out of the National Theatre School's playwriting program at the end of her first year – after, she says, administrators moved to cancel an adaptation of Faust that she'd written – doesn't believe she's a playwright. "I'm not a Pinter. What they do, it's a mystery to me. You know, if I read a novel, it's not a mystery to me. Beckett – it's a complete mystery. How they do it," she explains. "I don't understand myself in playwriting. I understand myself in books, I understand the world in books."
Tannahill begs to differ.
"I think she's a great playwright, and I think she was probably frustrated by the ways in which we shepherd new plays into being in Canada. It is a challenging piece to produce," he says in a separate interview, adding that the play's large cast, numerous settings, and the fact that there's also a troubadour who plays eight songs written by Dan Bejar (a.k.a. Destroyer).
"There's a certain quirk, and also a roughly hewn quality. Scenes butt up against each other in unusual and unexpected ways, and I find that really appealing," says Tannahill. In Canadian theatre, "there's a propensity to dramaturge a lot of plays into pablum, just to smooth out the rough edges until they resemble other plays."
Heti admits she's just happy to see it on its feet. "I feel like I'm in that scene in Annie Hall; you know, at the end? When he sits there and he has the two actors – he's written a play about him and Annie? And [the actress] goes: 'I could never leave you, Alvy!' We always try to make it work out in art. Whenever I'm watching the play, I feel exactly like that scene." Heti pauses, appearing to consider the pain at the centre of All Our Happy Days Are Stupid. "Even though it's not necessarily a happy-ending play."
Then she laughs.
All Our Happy Days Are Stupid runs from Oct. 24 to Nov. 3 at Videofag in Toronto (suburbanbeast.ca).Report Typo/Error

Partial Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter
Word is that TNA currently has no plans to tape iMPACT! Wrestling on the road in the near future. Heading into the summer months, the plan is to tape all TV at the Impact Zone in Orlando.
The reason for this is due to the inability to move ratings when the show travels, as well as the extremely high production costs for taping outside of the Impact Zone.
I can hear hearts breaking. I guess going on the road to get better ratings is out f the question for now lol.
Amazing how blind TNA is, Do they not realize what a big problem Orlando is?
They should just hire you… you're the solution that will make them money. Dumb f*ck.
Well maybe I don't know what I'm talking about.. 4 other people agreed with me, and your the dumb f*ck.
Wow.. 4 people.. that's a lot of people. Of course who cares if it was all 7,000 that ordered Victory Road. Maybe if you shot yourself in the head, then they would too.
You know, if you put as much effort into being constructive as you do being a full blown @sshole, but may actually reach the heights of the lowest of mankind, now take your small penis, inbred, "I watch wrestling so I can rub one out" @ss to a different site and bother someone else.
Why? I like bothering you. You are the smart one that knows how to fix TnA, why Dizzy hasn't hired you yet is beyond reason. A little FYI, I don't have to put any effort into being a full blown asshole, and I don't want to be constructive, I would rather tear you down, but that won't take much effort either.
Your not tearing me down, Your just making yourself look worse
I'd love to see them on the road, every week at that, but on the same note you want the ratings up and solid proof that the money will roll in when you are spending as much as it costs to go on the road. If it was between staying in the impact zone for now or taking a chance on possibly losing tons of money on the road and putting TNA in a bad spot all around, then I say hold off on the road, heck think about how long WWE had Raw in the same venue, ECW was in the same venue, and WCW was in the same studio for a long time, at least I believe I am recalling the WCW one correctly, that is back when I started watching on a regular basis, was a bit younger.
If someone turns off the show because they think the venue is low budget or not what they expected and don't care about the show itself in terms of wrestling and storylines, well…..odds are they weren't going to be a long term or loyal fan or they have their priotities out of whack.
people forget that ecw was more or less taped in 2 places for nearly all of hardcore tv
the ecw arena and the manhatten centre
wcw taped at the dare i say the impact zone for saturday night thunder and world wide
the thing is though ecw was able to draw the same solid amount of fans each week around 1500 same as impact zone
tna should go back to the asylum providing the can draw each week or like i said in another post
if tna are staying in the impact zone then they should make the capacity closer to 2 thousand starting by putting more peole around the ring and behind the static camera to make them look bigger
It'd be really awesome if TNA could just buy/lease their own arena somewhere around the New York/Philly area to use for TV tapings and PPVs (since they probably won't be leaving Orlando anytime soon). You would get out of the hellhole that is Orlando and be able to charge for attendance. Then they wouldn't have to worry about moving production all over when they do TV tapings. However, this will probably never happen since TNA seems dependent on Universal providing the Impact Zone for them tape television shows. The Orlando crowd is just killing me. If 8 years ago when TNA went to Orlando you would have told me they would still be in Orlando I would have thought you were crazy. It shows an alarming lack of progression in the past 8 years.
I definitely thought they would be out of the Impact Zone for all pay per views by now. I hated it when TNA moved from Nashville because it was in driving distance for a lot more fans than Orlando. Florida is one of the most out of the way places imaginable for for everyone outside of Florida. Which is consequently why they get locals and tourists. Nashville was pretty ideal because of it's proximity to Old wrestling stomping grounds like Atlanta, St Louis, Memphis, Louisville and a little further away the Western Carolinas. Almost everywhere in contrast, is nothing short of a full fledged mini vacation drive from Orlando and their taping schedule makes that suck. I got used to the idea of the Impact Zone for television on the premise that we would eventually begin to see TNA on the road with PPV's and that just hasn't materialized and has actually taken a step backwards since 2010. Some days it is almost like what is the point of trying to follow TNA closely? At best you might get one lousy house show a year in your area. It is no wonder that TNA has trouble growing a fan base. They don't produce a unique enough product anymore, to attract an ECW style cult willing to go the extra mile.
Pigboy86, While I totally agree with your general assessment, you've buried one silly point among a bunch of great ones. Florida is "out of the way"? 99.9999% of EVERYWHERE "out of the way" to 99.9999% of the entire global population. You could have left that one out.
Dude i was thinking the same thing..Orlando is close to pretty much everywhere in the south east…
I would have thought TNA would understood that going on the road IS NOT meant to help ratings in the sense that "Oh we went to Virginia and taped, ratings will be awesome now."
Going on the road is meant to advertise your product and let your brand be seen and showcased nationwide. If you go to different places, you gain new fans and thus more people tuning in in the long run.
problem is they dont have the money to support themselfs going on the road right now..its a double edge sword..they need to go on the road to get new fans, but they will go broke doing it before they gain enough veiwers to make it worthwile..
It definitely says something about the overall financial stability of TNA. You pull back when things are bad. It may even be that TNA is not in dire financial straits, rather that Bob and Janice Carter are tired of letting Dixie play fast and loose financially in regards to TNA. Maybe if not for a lot of the incredibly wasteful things over the years like big money being paid to outside talent, most of which completely bombed and the failed Hogan/Bischoff MNW 2.0, TNA would be in a better position to take the risk of having the show on the road to grow a paying fan base.
BM885, Totally wrong on this one, Mike, Panda Energy has more than enough money to put this company on the road from now to Armageddon! Even if NO ONE showed up and bought a ticket! The money is there, the commitment to the project is not,
that why TNA doesnt have the funds…TNA is funded by a parent company that doesnt give to squats about it. Panda isnt going to dump loads of money into TNA. They let Dixie have her fun with it, but they're not going to lose tons of money for it (and FYI..most wrestling promotions LOOSE money long before they turn a profit..hell until 1997 WCW had never turned a profit under turner). So yes..your point is right, PANDA has the money..TNA does not.
Going on the road won't be making much profit for them (considering they need to hire the venue etc.) but i would love to see them do an outdoor event, that's one reason i want them to tour the UK in summer
Maybe be more innovative in taking the show out of the Impact Zone to somewhere that there will be a crowd anyway (festival events perhaps?) such as WCW did for their 'Spring Breakout' editions of Nitro on the beach or the Road Wild PPV's at Sturgis rally etc…
Problem with that is they make no money of those (WCW didnt get a dime for Sturgis, I lived 20 miles from there and worked all the events, no tickets sold. All money made was made by PPV sales. not sure about the spring break ones) TNA cant afford for that to happen with moving costs and everything
Must to admit than Impact zone in Orlando look better than before. May they just need to create more special to move people from outside in Orlando.
i still think taping in england would be profitable
they had very small production and a solid 8-10 thousand crowd
instead of taping 2 shows at once they could have put on an extra night on to make more money
tna are putting on a live ppv in a real arena so why cant they maybe record impact there 2moro
it would save on all the production as it would be already set up
they could say to all the fans who bought a ticket for the ppv that for an extra $10 or $20 they can stay with the same tickets for the day afters tapings and tickets not sold sell to public at full price
Because they don't want to film on a Monday afternoon in an empty arena. That's the beauty of Orlando.. people are already there for Disney. No one is going to go back to Impact in the same place they just paid to watch Lockdown the night before.
Why not?..WWE does it every year with Wrestlemania.
You can't compare TnA to WWE. Its just not fair, but to do it for one second. TnA Victory Road got 7,000 buys, Wrestlemania got 1,100,000 buys. Just looking at that shows you can't compare. Mania brings in people from other countries just to see the show. Its almost as the next night on Raw is more for the hometown folks because Mania was a world wide event. Even if WWE doesn't sell out the night after Mania it doesn't look like it. Where as when Lockdown was in St. Louis a while back they were giving away tickets at the gate the morning of.
I'll give you a pass, but come on. You can't compare ANY wrestling event to Mania.
WCW rose and fell in about 10 years after the Crockets sold the company. I have no problem with slow growth if it means the company will be around for a long time. It would be nice if they did Impact on the road occasionally but it is still way better than that crap McMahon's machine is turning out.
in my opinion, and I hope I don't get too many people hating me for sharing my opinion, I don't think the issue is so much 'where' the show is taped but rather the product itself they are taping.
A following is not going to happen without excitement and the absolute only way to build that is by signing new talent. Please remember back to the old ECW shows, on an ECW show nobody knew what was going to happen, it was chaos and a big part of that excitement was "Who's gonna show up in ecw" was it Terry Gordy? Was it Terry Funk , was it Marty Jannetty? and the same thing is true with WWE, without the new additions they keep adding there would be very little excitement there either.
The key to building a great wrestling show is surprise
and please be honest, when's the last time TNA had a real surprise? The ECW Invasion was probably the last one and that was a GREAT step forward in my opinion…
they need new talent coming in and unpredictable action on the shows…
then it won't matter where the shows are taped and they can get the money needed to go on the show when they want…
I said it before and I'll say it again…bring in Sid and Nash…imagine a feud with Sid and Morgan…
please do something soon with Morgan and Joe, they have both hinted at going to WWE…we can't afford to lose more guys like this!!!
I guess if they made more money on PPV's they could afford to travel around. Then again, someone told me TnA doesn't care if it makes money on PPV's since its all about ratings. Ratings that doesn't get them paid… hmmm. Sounds like a wonderful business model.
that just screams Bischoff..haha
For the past few years TNA Lockdown has beatin the competition of wrestlemania. TNA Lockdown has always been the underdog PPV, but always becomes succssful in the end. With alot on the line this year I really hope TNA can do it again. I know I'll be supporting tonights lockdown PPV %100 with my hard earn money. Because I'm a real TNA Wrestling fan. I also hope maybe all TNA PPVs can at least be on the road!
What do you mean by Beating the competition of wrestlemania?..I sure hope you mean by quality and not buys..because its not even close..and i dont think lockdown this year will come close to Wreslemania in terms of quality.

Choosing the Right Tire - Idiehl Tire and Lube
We know you've heard it before, but it's critical enough to repeat: the tires you choose for your vehicle are important. It is critical to understand that the tires on your vehicle are the one single link to the road surface. To keep the rest of your vehicle performing at its peak, your tires are the very foundation of your vehicle.
Different quality tires will last for different periods of time, depending on wear and tear. Regular maintenance is key to longer tread life, but tread wears down over time and with use. Once you get to the point where you need to replace your tires, there are several choices that you can make. The easiest choice is get the exact size and make that originally came on the vehicle, when it was new. Beyond that, you might consider going to a better quality tire o ...[more]
8 Tips for Keeping your Tires in Top Shape
Great! You've made an investment in a set of top of the line tires. You've checked out all specifications, you have looked into performance ratings, warranties, and decided on the perfect tires for your vehicle. Now what? How do you protect your investment and get the most out of your tires? With these simple tips, you can extend the life and performance of your tires, and keep them in top shape for as long as possible.
Proper Inflation- Check tire inflation often, and only when the tires are cool (before any driving). A glove box tire pressure gauge can help keep an eye on inflation. Poorly inflated tires can cause extra strain and wear on the tire, shortening its life and affecting performance.
Proper Rotation- The weight distribution on your vehicle can vary, so ...[more]

David was great! He went out on like a 25 degree day and went over the car with a fine tooth comb and even took pictures for me documenting scratches and anything he saw of concern. He then drove the car for me. AMAZING! He called me after his test drive and told me the good news about the car. I can't say enough how much I appreciate what he did. There are lots of great people on this forum but just wanted to say that David is one of the best! I think I got a great deal. The car has a market value of about $51K. I picked it up for $44K and it only has 16K miles on it. They gave me what I could expect for Private Party sales plus a little on my 2004 745i which ended up being like $13,250. So I got into the new body style with low mileage and full warranty for about $31K. I am very excited and again thank David.
Based on the above, I have many things to sell. Many are still brand new and in the box. Let me know if you are interested and feel free to share.

I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to acknowledge me publicly. I have enjoyed the PM's, texts, and phone calls we have shared over the last week or so. Every time that we have communicated you have expressed your appreciation. Many people nowadays forget the importance of a simple thank you. You are a true CLASS ACT, and I can't tell you how happy I am for you. This car couldn't have asked for a better owner.
I would like to share a few words about Bill's new car, but of course I will leave all the details for him to share when he gets it home. This is one of the lowest milage 09's on the market. It is literally brand new. The interior is immaculate. The outside has a few blemishes, but nothing that $100 in PDR and a nice detail won't completly take care of.
I could go on about this car, but I will leave it at this. When I came home after driving it I told my wife that if he didn't buy it that I might! I thought it would be years until I was back in a 7, but I am so impressed with this one that I wil be seriously considering it to replace my M6 within the next 4-6 months.
Congratulations, Bill. I look forward to seeing more pictures of your beast as well as hearing your thoughts after putting a few miles on her.

The duratec uses a different bellhousing bolt pattern and while they are both MTX75's, it wont swap

7 Possible Consequences Of Losing Net Neutrality
What could happen if the Internet were in the hands of service providers who choose what sites will load.
Net neutrality is one of the hot-button issues of the new year, but it is important to those who enjoy the freedom of the Internet. While handing over Internet providers the reigns to our online access can help block viruses and spam, it also gives them the power to control what we see and at what speed it loads. There is currently a petition to restore net neutrality by classifying Internet providers as "common carriers," but if the FCC ruling stands, there may be some dire consequences for consumers due to the vague nature of what carrier are allowed to do.
1) Getting to your favorite sites could be difficult.
Internet carriers will have access to the speed with which a page loads on your screen, so that means they could speed up those they favor and slow down everyone else. This could mean that the expensive super-fast WiFi you're paying for might load pages slower than your old dial up connection.
2) You may lose access to content completely.
Many people are aware that in China, some sites and services are blocked by the government in order to keep information and goods, among other things, from their citizens. While there's no threat of the American government doing this, Internet providers might block content they view as unfavorable or unsavory, meaning any number of sites could be blocked without warning.
3) Denying you access to the competition.
Savvy online shoppers know you have dig around for the best prices, but in a world without net neutrality, this may not be possible. There's a chance that Internet providers might boost more popular and wealthy sites like Amazon that pay them extra or agree to host ads for the provider's affiliated companies. This means other sites like Overstock might take longer to load or even be blocked entirely. This wouldn't just apply to online marketplaces, but for sites of all types across the web.
4) Companies could set up paywalls for consumers.
Do you often browse YouTube? Reddit? Tumblr? Your Internet carrier may decide to make you pay for that extra video or additional 15 minutes of browsing with a paywall, like some publications already do. You may even have to purchase specific, more expensive packages to have access to these particular websites, for limited or unlimited periods of time.
5) Small business and start-up websites may not be able to compete.
Without net neutrality, Internet providers may charge companies more money to make their content more easily accessible. While the bigger companies may have no problem meeting carrier demands, smaller businesses may not be able to keeping their site up and running. Start-ups might not get the views they need to get popular if they can't afford the fees necessary to have costumers easily browse their page. Could Facebook or Twitter have flourished in such conditions when they first appeared?
6) Providers can charge more for service without additional benefits.
If Internet carriers can make money forcing companies to pay to keep their sites loading fast, they don't have to focus on improving the quality. In fact, there's nothing to stop them from charging more for the same, or worse, service they previously provided. This doesn't only effect networks in people's homes: schools, hospitals, and other facilities used by the public may have to stretch already diminished budgets to pay for Internet access.
7) Your content may be cut off from the rest of the world.
This is especially important if any facet of your professional life relies on the web. Not only can Internet provides block you from reading specific content, they can block others from gaining access to your content. For those individuals whose work is on the Internet, like YouTubers who earn money from ad revenue or writers who use the web to showcase their work to future employers, loss of only visibility would be a crippling blow, both professionally and economically.

Sydney knows how to make sure its city kids have plenty of space to have fun. Renowned for its many large parks and parkland reserves, the city is a wonderland of outdoor fun for families and kids, all year round. From the busy inner-city to the sprawling outer suburbs, check out the best of the best playgrounds that Sydney has to offer kids who love to get out and about!
Newington Armory and Blaxland Riverside Park
Newington Armory is a heritage site within Sydney Olympic Park and is surrounded by some of Sydney's best playground areas for families, including Blaxland Riverside Park with free water-play facilities and a host of other child-friendly attractions. Newington Armory hosts a huge number of cheap family activities such as train rides on the Heritage Railway, clue trails for young adventurers, as well as musical and arts workshops and sports clinics. The regular school holiday program includes activities that are fun and affordable, and many activities are free for kids under five years. Even better, you don't have to book for many of the holiday sessions, simply bring the family along for some fun and games.
Monster BMX and Skate Park
Sydney Olympic Park in Homebush is also home to Monster BMX and Skate Park, a fantastic facility for kids and teens who love to skate, scoot, BMX or ride mountain bikes. With an indoor street course and outdoor ramps for skaters, a 306 metre long BMX track with dirt jumps and bends, and one of the best downhill mountain cross tracks in Sydney, there's something at Monster BMX for any kid who doesn't mind getting a little dirty. There are small session fees involved for skaters, but spectators are free and all-day passes are also available. For those on BMX or mountain bikes, entry to the tracks is free! What better way to let your adventurous kids burn off some energy in a supervised environment? Monster BMX is open seven days a week and they host a range of fun school holiday workshops and clinics.

Featuring loads of activities all year round including horse riding, ranger tours and holiday clinics, there is always something fun to do with kids. For alternatives that won't cost you a cent, bring the bikes along for a ride on the Learner's Cycle-way, feed the ducks in the ponds and wetland areas, scout out one of six separate playground areas, or just let the dog off the leash for a run in a designated off-leash area. And bring a picnic as there are free barbecue facilities installed in all areas of Centennial Parklands.

Support Women Artists Sunday: KALEN
Singer-songwriter Kalen's six-song debut EP, Falling From The Sun, is rock noir. The bruised beauty of her lyrics, her dark and shimmering compositions, the haunting expressiveness of her singing, and her dynamically cinematic producing skills imbue the music with a visual layer of intrigue. It is a moody blend of blues, trip-hop and rock with bits of dub step and world beat that's artfully accessible.
Falling From The Sun is the result of someone with inimitable style, with such a distinct and strong vision she was able to write, direct, and star in her own sonic movie. "I just wanted to be involved in all aspects. I had Pro Tools at home and I keep getting deeper and closer to the songs," she says summing up the process, before adding with a laugh, "I'm just super-curious and super-stubborn. I feel there is nothing I can't do, even when there is."

Q. Do I really need it?
A. Ask yourself this question before any major addition. Your answer will prompt other vital questions about how you intend to use the dock. As a swim platform? For boating? For twilight cocktails? Carefully consider needs―and finances. If all you want is a place to watch sunsets, save your greenbacks and build a deck on dry land.
Q. Am I getting advice from people who know the rules?
A. Dock building is one of those rare categories in which I advise you not to rely on local lore. Chances are, older docks in your community were installed before current local, state, and federal environmental regulations were enacted.
Q. How do I find out the rules in my community?
A. Start from the bottom up. Call your town's code-enforcement officer. Then check with local government agencies. Describe exactly where you live, and have your property survey or title available so that you can provide precise coordinates. For a helpful list of state departments of environmental protection, visit clay.net/statag.html.
Q. Should I build a floating dock or one on pilings?
A. Floating docks rise and fall with the tides. They're attached to fixed vertical poles, sometimes called piers, pounded into the seabed. Stationary docks are, well, stationary. Most of the big decisions related to them―lengths, design configurations, height above the water―are shaped by regional regulations. One tip for pilings: Choose round rather than square for less-disruptive water flow and fewer edges to deteriorate over time.
Pros of floating docks: They easily adjust to changes in water levels. In regions where the water ices over in winter, you can haul them up to shore to wait out the coldest months.
Cons: To some, floating docks feel unstable. Many homeowners associations insist on traditional docks.
Pros of stationary docks: If well constructed, stationary docks will ride out storms that tear loose floating docks. They also tower above high tides that pull floating docks to their anchoring systems' limits.
Cons: Stationary docks are expensive and always in your view. Localities can impose a complicated review process for permanent coastal structures.
Q. What material should I use?
A. Composite materials don't have wood's long track record, but they should have an advantage in resisting sun and salt. Only use composites for surface decking, not structural support. For the support components, I still favor pressure-treated wood. (Buy the more expensive stock, which contains more of the chemicals that resist rot.) And steel? Because it corrodes, it doesn't hack it in a residential context.
Q. How about maintenance?
A. Go low maintenance. If you use high-quality pressure-treated wood, you won't need wood sealer. When you clean the dock, stick with plain water, a good scrub brush, and―in extreme circumstances―biodegradable soap. I'm betting after the first time on your knees with a brush, you'll see the grime as adding distinctive character.

9% of Americans have cut their pay TV connection because they can watch all their favorite shows online, while a further 11% are considering doing so, according to a Deloitte survey released in January 2012. An additional 15% say they will most likely watch movies, TV programs, and videos from online digital sources (via download or streamed over the Internet) in the near future. The proportion considering "cutting the cord" is highest among leading millennials, defined as respondents aged 23-28, at 19%. Meanwhile, 11% of Boomers report having already canceled their paid TV service, highest among the age groups.
However, the survey also shows that Americans value cable TV and satellite TV above most other services. According to December 2011 figures from Motorola, Americans are spending 21 hours per week in front of the TV. And although only 44% of the Deloitte survey respondents report having DVR functionality, using a DVR is the second-most preferred means of watching a favorite TV show.
42% of respondents reported having streamed a movie in 2011, representing a 50% increase from 28% in 2009. The proportion citing streaming delivery of a movie to their computer or TV as their favorite way of watching a movie more than tripled, jumping to 14% from 4% in 2009. Whereas in 2007, 37% of people reported not having viewed a movie, available for purchase or rental, in the past 6 months, that percentage dropped to 19% in 2011.
Data from the "State of Media Democracy, 6th Edition" indicates that 36% of the 2011 respondents preferred being able to download their books, magazines, and newspapers to a digital device, up from 23% in 2007. 20% of leading millennials reported having read their favorite newspaper on a smartphone in the last 6 months, up from 9% the previous year, while the proportion of the segment stating that to be their favorite method for reading the newspaper shot up from 3% to 11%.
The proportion of households owning a smartphone grew to 42% in 2011, compared to 25% two years earlier, while the proportion of consumers interested in purchasing a smartphone in the near future rose 30% year-over-year, from 40% in 2010 to 52% in 2011.
Alongside this growing adoption, Americans appear to be increasingly using their devices in a variety of ways. Text messaging, the most popular activity, rose to 78% of respondents from 71% in 2009, while 46% reported using online search, compared to 30% in 2009. 37% used their device for GPS, while about 1 in 5 used it for online banking.
According to December 2011 figures from comScore, during the three-month average ending November 2011, downloading of applications (44.9%) overtook browser use (44.4%) in popularity among US mobile subscribers, although texting (72.6%) remained the the most common activity.
About the Data: Deloitte's study was conducted by Harrison Group. The online survey polled more than 2,000 consumers between the ages of 14 and 75 in the US.

problems with series of multiple integrals
Hallo there!
If have a syntactical problem in the following context: I need to
evaluate the Durbin algorithm for first passage time of Brownian motion
for curved boundaries. The density function of the fpt is of the form
f(t)=sum_{i=1}^\infty q_k(t),
where each component q_k(t) requires the evaluation of the
(k-1)-integral of a function of t_0, ..., t_{k-1}, with equal integral
limits 0 to t.
I would like to implement the function q_k(t) in the form q[k_, t_], so
that the body of the routine q would contain
Integrate[ a function of t_0, ..., t_{k-1}, {t_0, 0, t}, {t_1, 0,t},
..., {t_{k-1}, t}]
That is: The length of the argument list {t_0, 0, t}, {t_1, 0,t}, ...,
{t_{k-1}, t} depends on the index k (!!!), which is passed to the
program q[k,t], so that the argument list must be evaluated dynamically
by the routine. Is there any way to do this, that is, a syntax that
Mathematica 3.0 will understand?
Any hints are appreciated. Thank you very much!

Post-HEART Pathway Implementation
Data will be collected on patients presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) with chest pain after implementation of the HEART Pathway decision aid.
Pre-HEART Pathway Implementation
Data will be collected on patients presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) with chest pain prior to Implementation of the HEART Pathway decision aid.
Detailed Description:
Millions of patients with chest pain are seen in Emergency Departments (EDs) every year. Over half of ED patients with chest pain are admitted to the hospital to undergo further testing. Despite high testing rates, less than 1 in 10 patients with chest pain are ultimately diagnosed with an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) at estimated annual cost of $13 billion. Current care patterns for acute chest pain fail to focus health system resources, such as hospitalization and cardiac testing, on patients most likely to benefit.
The HEART Pathway, which combines a clinical decision aid, with two serial troponin measurements, has been developed to identify patients with chest pain who can safely be discharged without objective cardiac testing (stress testing or angiography). Prior retrospective and observational studies have established that use of the HEART Pathway reduces cardiac testing by >20%, while maintaining an acceptably low adverse event rate. We now seek to integrate the HEART Pathway into "real-world" clinical settings to determine effectiveness.
The goal of this proposal is to build a transformative collaboration bridging the gap between research, education, and health systems operations to more effectively and efficiently provide patient care. The vanguard for this collaboration seeks to improve quality of care for patients with acute chest pain by integrating the HEART Pathway into cardiovascular care delivery at Wake Forest Baptist Health (WFBH). This project will build on our prior work and provide a model for using the education and operational strengths of US academic medical centers to disseminate initiatives to improve care delivery.

The designs of the engine mounts are vital in determining the dynamics of motor movement under live conditions. What is the VW type 4 chassis? Volkswagen and Audi share many design principals and engines across their platforms. One such chassis is the Type-4 which is known as the Golf 4, also homogenous with the Jetta 4, Beetle, Bora, Audi TT, A3. Type 4's use the same 3 engine mounts: Engine side, Transmission side and Lower pendulum mount. Available for all VAG type 4 chassis: MK4 1999>up All engines 8v/1.8T/VR6/V6/12v/24v/R32 Audi TT, A3,S3 (not DSG or Auto) Price: US$ 180.00 each Part#: VFA02-01 4&6 cyl pendulum mount Part#: VFA02-04 4&6 cyl transmission side Part#: VFA02-03 4 cyl engine side Part#: VFA02-02 6 cyl engine side Description: The VW factory engine and transmission side engine mount connects the engine and gearbox to the chassis and were designed as soft flexible mounts, to provide a very comfortable drive. A drawback is the high amount of engine movement under torque load and on hard acceleration. This engine "slop" greatly decreases stability and smoothness under high performance driving conditions and rapid gear selection. The VW factory transmission side mount is constructed from a die-cast alumuminium mount which en-cases two soft rubber bushes in a 'clam-shell' style cast aluminium housing and a pressed in stamped steel base plate. The 2-piece OEM rubber bush does not completely fill the pocket inside the mount casing. The factory engine side mount is constructed from a die-cast alumuminium mount which houses a large soft rubber bushes with a vulcanised cast strut. The rubber bush contains a viscous oil cavity to absorb shock. The 1-piece OEM rubber bush does not completely fill the pocket inside the mount casing. The drawback of the OEM designs for 'performance minded' drivers is that long term stresses from power enhanced engines tends to cause premature wear of the both the driver and passenger side engine mounts: which either leak their viscous dampner becoming very sloppy, the rubber breaks down, or the vulcanized joint separates or the aluminium casing cracks completely. VF-Engineering designed, tooled up and manufactured a complete new replacement, containing specially desinged molded high durometer polyurethane bushes. The mount is constructed from billet (ingot) aluminum and supplied with high tensile hardware. Billet is physically twice as strong as cast and this mount is designed for strength. Fitting should take no more than 60 minutes each and fits all MK4 chassis including Golf, Jetta, Bora, Beetle, Audi TT, A3, S3 These high performance mounts have been tested on a 350hp VF supercharged R32 and an APR stage3 1.8T. VF found it provides a dramatic difference in the stability of the car when accelerating and braking hard. Gear changing under hard acceleration is also greatly enhanced. You will notice the difference. www.vf-engineering.com

I know there was a case where ammo (believe use of 10mm) came into question. I am sure I can track down examples where self-loaded cartridge used in SD resulted in legal troubles (that is a form of legal modifications). In addition, there is that case were a guy used some lighter strength ammo he had loaded for his wife, somehow that messed with the ballistics and made it appear that he was a greater distance. Lastly, a persons overall gun collection or group associations has been brought up (making the gun owner appear to be someone looking for a fight).
Now lastly, I believe there was someone with a a skull, or some remark, engraved on a handgun. This one I can't find, and may just be internet lies.
Now back to what pirate stated. Arguments of legal modified ammo is a simple step to legal modified firearm aside.
Are there any examples of a legaly modified firearm resulting in prosecution?
Are there any examples of a legaly modified handgun resulting in prosecution?

wikiHow to Make Itching Powder
Two Methods:Using roses (The "Romeo and Juliet" Method)Using maple seeds (not as powerful)Community Q&A
Do you want a heavy duty itching powder to use on an irritating individual? Do you want to aggravate the aggravator, as it were? Well, these formulations are guaranteed to irritate him or her more than they have ever irritated you. Note that the itching will last up to one hour. Also, make sure to read the warnings before you start preparing either itching powder.
Using roses (The "Romeo and Juliet" Method)
1Cut a dead-looking rose; one that needs to be 'dead-headed' and has a large hip (bulb). Cut it below the hip without cutting into the hip itself, but leaving no more than a centimetre of stem (this helps it die).
2Remove the sepals and anything above the hip. Make a light slice on the side of the hip. Put it in a dry, dark place.
3Wait maybe a week; until the hip is predominantly brown, but not completely black.
4Cut the rose hip in half with small scissors/knife etc. at an angle. Halve these halves again, also cutting at an angle. White, brown or golden cotton-like substance should be inside the quarter-spheres.
5Remove the cotton into a small cup using a toothpick, a blade, or (as the rose should now be green-brown) your nails. This substance, cythilicus, is a mechanical irritant. It "roughs up" your skin, causing an itch. It should be fine at this stage the to handle the cotton with your bare hands; but be wary of contact with your eyes and inhaling it.
6Place the small cup containing the cythilicus next to a cup of boiling water cup. The cythilicus will then become more fluffy.
- You may want to put a towel over the cups so the cythilicus can absorb more of the steam.
- Don't let any water touch the cotton-like stuff because you want the powder hydrated, not wet.
- Once the cythilicus becomes fluffy (after 10-15 minutes of exposure to steam), it is ready for the next step.
7Place the cup of hydrated cythilicus in direct, bright sunlight. After about an hour, the cythilicus should dry and turn more powdery. At this point, it is ready to be used.
8Throw the powder at someone. It even goes through clothes!
Using maple seeds (not as powerful)
In early fall, maple trees shed little brown "helicopter" seedpods that some people call "whirligigs". The pods are green when they're immature (spring and summer) and turn brown as they ripen. When they're dry enough, they fall from the trees with a graceful, spiral motion.
Tiny, hair-like slivers, the same as you will find in bags of commercial itching powder, cover the seedpod To remove the slivers from the "whirlygigs", follow this process:
1Place a sheet of white paper on a flat surface.
2Hold a maple seed pod in each hand, grasping the "propeller" end between thumb and forefinger. Let the seed pod end hang down towards the paper.
3Rub the seed pods against each other over the sheet of paper and notice that the hairs that coat the seed pods will loosen and fall to the paper.
4Repeat with a few dozen seed pods. The result is about a teaspoonful of slivers. This is the main ingredient of commercially available itching powder. A little goes a long way!
- You can also scrape the hairs off of the seed pod with a razor blade, but the rubbing method described above works best. The razor blade method can become somewhat problematic. You have to worry about scraping away too much of the seed pod and also risk cutting your fingers.
5Pour a small amount of itching powder down the victim's back and he or she will be scratching for quite some time.
6Store leftover itching powder in a resealable plastic bag or in an envelope.
Community Q&A
What would I do if I did get the powder in my eyes or on my lips?wikiHow ContributorIf it comes into contact with your face, immediately go to the sink and wash it off. Although it is not harmful, you could be scratching your face for a while.
Are maple seeds mechanical irritants or just the rose hips?wikiHow ContributorJust the rose hips.
Do I have to use boiling water for the rose method?wikiHow ContributorYes. The rose must be hydrated by the steam, but not soaked by direct contact with water.
How can I make someone itch from their shampoo?Lily WolfePut some of your homemade itching powder into their shampoo bottle and stir it in.
Will this wash out of clothes/fabric?
- Don't microwave the cythilicus or the itching powder won't work. (The microwave radiation destroys the structure of the cythilicus.)
- Dry the sliver-like hairs well for the most effective "itch powder".
- Wear gloves when handling the powder.
- Don't ingest (eat or drink) the cythilicus.
- Do not get the cythilicus on lips or eyes.
- This is serious stuff. Do not put it near eyes or lips or anywhere internal. It is especially uncomfortable under the arm pits.
- Do not use the powder on anyone you love, just on people you really want to irritate.
