One of my buddies who I was talking about earlier who writes poetry and other forms of writing is getting his book published. I just want to give him a quick shoutout on here and to tell you guys to look him up going forward as he is about to blow up. He has been working so hard for this moment and the hard work has finally paid off.
This buddy of mine was driving Cleveland limos back in his hometown for years just to be able to pay rent while he was working relentlessly to get acknowledged.
Now he's getting his book published next month and he lives out in Los Angeles. Talk about making the big leap. If you guys are at all interested, go check out my buddy John Newton's work. He is extremely talented and I would never risk the chance of tarnishing this websites reputation by giving off some mediocre writers name to go check out.
We will be posting the name of his book which he has wanted to keep on the down low until a few days out from getting it published. This is a book that you guys will not want to miss out on.
Hope you guys have an awesome weekend and always remember that you can drop an email to us at anytime with any questions or concerns
Cheers mates.

No matter the plan... we all Blog to Lose!
It has long been my conviction that when it comes to matters of love, sex, and dating; everyone is a douche.
Yes, even you.
And me.
Especially me.
Think about it; we spend a lot of time talking about how men are all assholes. Guys probably spend almost as much time talking about how all women are crazy. Besides the fact that this begs the questions "do crazy women turn men into assholes or do men make women go crazy," (Which came first; the chicken or the egg?) it sets a pretty universal standard of douchery.
Read the rest here: Skanky Tuesday - Everyone's A Douche

Wiring pot lights... Best way to branch off
I have a small family room, roughly 100 sq. (10' x 10').
Currently, there is a light fixture in the center of the room that is wired to a dimmer. I want to add 4 pot lights in a square formation to surround the light in the center of the room. I also want the 4 pot lights on the same dimmer switch.
My question involves the branching of the wiring from the center light -- is it okay to have two branches (2 lights on each branch) of wiring to go to the pot lights? Or is it better to be wired with all 4 in serial? For that matter is there any reason you couldn't have 4 branches total (aside from the mass of wires you'd need to marrette)?
The amount of feeds out of the center JBox would be dependent on what type of box is up in the ceiling due to box fill.
Will adding these lights keep you under the 12, IIRC, items per circuit limit under the CEC?
It is a standard sized 4" octagonal box, 1-1/2" deep. I am under 12 for sure...
Thanks for the tips everyone!

Like the title says I am selling the discontinued rare rear cargo tray for the MK6 golf platform. It comes with the big net, the little velcro stays to keep stuff from moving around and of course the cargo tray itself. Because the tray is discontinued and quite rare from the looks of the classifieds, it will sell at a premium. I am asking 300 OBO + paypal fees + shipping. If I recall correctly it was 199 from vw.
It is located in dayton ohio, so to avoid paypal fees and shipping pick up is encouraged.

Phinney Ridge is a popular local neighborhood that connects the Fremont and Greenwood neighborhoods and runs just east of Ballard and west of the Woodland Park Zoo and Greenlake.
Its popular eateries and shops are located along Phinney Ave N which turns into Greenwood Avenue N. Phinney Ridge primarily consists of small- to medium-sized apartments and condominium buildings located along Phinney Ave N and Greenwood Ave N, as well as single-family homes and privately-owned townhomes on the hills toward Greenlake and sloping toward Ballard. You can find numerous vintage brick buildings most with hardwood floors that run along Phinney Avenue which curves and turns into Greenwood Avenue.
Recently there have been some craftsman-styled townhomes developed in this area. Some of the privately-owned townhomes come available for rent. The houses on the slope to the east and west of Phinney and Greenwood Avenues are primarily craftsman- and bungalow-styled homes developed from the 1920s to the 1940s. On the west side on the hill facing Ballard you can find homes facing west and offering beautiful sunset views. Many residents choose to rent here for its central location and easy access to downtown.

Welcome to Bethany Retreat House
paying attention to the inner life
Christians know Bethany as the home of Martha, Mary, and Lazarus, a place of hospitality where Martha served Jesus.
Away from the demands of public life, Bethany was a place of intimacy where Jesus and his friends could share their faith, their dreams.
In Bethany Mary enjoyed sitting at Jesus' feet as a disciple. In Bethany Jesus raised Lazarus to new life. To Bethany Jesus went for comfort and friendship before his passion.
Like its namesake, Bethany Retreat House is a place apart to spend time with God. It offers hospitality, beauty, and encouragement for prayer and discipleship.
Bethany Retreat House is open to women and men of all faiths, to laity, clergy, and religious who seek its silent atmosphere for prayer and reflection.
News and Events
From the Director's Chair
by Joyce Diltz, PHJC
When you call or visit the retreat house these days, you will be greeted by Robin Horbovetz, our new assistant to the director. Robin has pretty seamlessly moved in to the chair recently vacated by Susan Steinkraus who is enjoying her retirement. I'm grateful to both Susan and Robin for their ably and graciously providing the infrastructure that under- girds our services here at Bethany.
Please remember our bookstore as you fill in your Christmas gift list. We have so many books that feed our souls and help hone our ability to recognize and respond to our God. For non-readers on your list, we have music CDs and an array of sweatshirts and tote bags. There are also cloth gift-wrap bags that enhance any gift, live on from year to year, and keep paper out of the landfill. Consider stopping by for our December 9 Christmas sale, or another day that works for you. Since we have a very small staff, it is a good idea to call ahead to be sure we are here when you have time to stop by.
I wish you a blessed Advent season, one of longing for God's coming in fulness and of celebrating the daily ways God is with us in the nitty gritty of our lives. May this holy season give us eyes to see, ears to hear, and hearts to em- brace God-with-us. May your Advent dreams guide you in your search for God as they did Joseph and the magi of old!

The Divine Dance: The Trinity and Your Transformation
by Richard Rohr, OFM with Mike Morrell Whitaker House, cloth, 220 pages, $24 Reviewed by Deb Szrom Steppe
Richard Rohr introduces this book by stating that while the Blessed Trinity is a foundational doctrine of our Chris- tian belief system, it seems to have almost no practical or pastoral implications in most of our lives. This work by Rohr with Mike Morrell sets out to change that by calling for a paradigm shift, a major religious conversion in how we see, understand, and relate to God.
This paradigm shift offers to the reader the image of God as Life Energy...God as with us in all of life...the Di- vine Reality that replicates itself in us and in all the array of creation...the flow who flows through everything, without exception and who has done so since the beginning – to name a few images Rohr suggests.
This work is heavily based on scripture. I find that helpful. Inviting readers to change their perception of the image of God is a tall order. Basing so much of this book on scripture as well as insights of mystics and wisdom figures throughout history makes that change easily reachable.
This book is based on two workshops Rohr delivers. Mike Morrell's writing skills provide a seamless transition from workshop material, which might be tiresome to read, to an engaging and easily readable book.
I am quite taken with this book and find that I'm con- tinuing to process and reread the material. What struck me most and continues to resonate with me is the discussion on the sign of the cross, the physical action of belief in the Trin- ity. As a Catholic, it is impossible for me to count how many times I have made the sign of the cross in my lifetime. What was often an automatic gesture done without even thinking is now something I do consciously, prayerfully, and most lovingly.
The book's appendix provides seven spiritual practices, including the sign of the cross, to discover this new way of living within the Trinity in our daily lives.
Richard Rohr is a spiritual and theological master. That is evident in this superb work!

RPT-Canexus pays high price for winning Canadian crude-by-rail race
(Repeats to widen readership, without changes to text or headline)
By Nia Williams
CALGARY, Alberta Aug 4 (Reuters) - Canexus Corp, the developer of Canada's first dedicated oil train terminal, has embraced the crude-by-rail boom with little success so far. Its shares are down 45 percent over the past year and the company is expected to report a weak quarter on Tuesday.
The company's Bruderheim terminal, 55 kilometers (35 miles) northeast of Edmonton, Alberta, is one of seven unit train terminals operating or under construction in Western Canada.
Although Canexus beat other midstream companies such as Gibson Energy Inc in the race to ship oil to market on mile-long trains, it is yet to see much benefit.
Some industry players are speculating the Calgary-based chemicals and handling company may have to sell Bruderheim to ease pressure on its balance sheet.
Asked about a potential sale, Lavonne Zdunich from Canexus investor relations said the company's portfolio of assets had not gone unnoticed and it would continue discussions with parties that had expressed interest.
Canexus also owns sodium chlorate and chlor-alkali plants in Canada and Brazil.
The cost of Bruderheim, planned as a 100,000 barrel-per-day loading facility offering Canadian crude producers an alternative to congested export pipelines, has risen by 60 percent as construction work fell behind schedule. Continued...

Jesse Eisenberg Calls From a Cracker Barrel To Talk About "The Revisionist"
Actor, New Yorker contributor, and playwright Jesse Eisenberg wanted to join us in the studio today, but his flight to New York City was canceled. So he called in from a Cracker Barrel parking lot somewhere between Boston and New York to talk about his second play, The Revisionist, which had its world premiere at the Cherry Lane Theatre in New York in spring 2013.
The Revisionist stars Eisenberg and Vanessa Redgrave and is directed by Kip Fagan. It tells the story of a young writer who arrives in Poland with a case of writer's block and a desire to be left alone. His 75-year-old second cousin Maria welcomes him, and as their relationship develops, she reveals details about her postwar past that test their ideas of what it means to be a family.

The 17-episode series, filmed in Portmeirion in 1966-67, saw Patrick McGoohan play Number Six - an ex-secret agent held captive in the village.
A Sky One remake of the cult series is planned for next year but the lead actor has not yet been announced.
The online vote will run on the village's official website for a month.
Architect Clough Williams-Ellis built Portmeirion from 1925 to 1975 on a peninsula on the Gwynedd coast.
The village was built in Italianate style and attracts about 250,000 visitors a year, many of them as a result of its association with The Prisoner.
The show portrayed Mr McGoohan's character held among a brainwashed population held captive by a mysterious regime. The prisoners were known only by numbers and although there were no bars or barbed wire, massive balloons would smother anyone making an escape bid.
Following its original 1967 ITV broadcast, the series was shown in more than 60 countries throughout the world and developed something of a cult following.
A planned remake is due to be broadcast in spring 2007, but it has not yet been announced who will fill the shoes of Patrick McGoohan in the Number Six role.
Visitors to the village's website are now being asked to submit suggestions for the new Number Six.
Robin Llywelyn, managing director of the site and grandson of its creator Sir Clough, said: "Since launching the online vote, we have had a good response, people take it very seriously.
"To this end, we have already had requests from people keen to see Patrick McGoohan return to play the role."
The online poll runs to the end of the month.

Water and Sewerage Authority
The Water and Sewerage Authority of Trinidad and Tobago (WASA) is the sole water and sewerage provider in Trinidad and Tobago. It was formed in 1965 by an Act of Parliament to manage the areas of Hollis, Arena and the Navet dams in Trinidad. In Tobago, WASA maintains the Hillsborough Reservoir along with other freshwater wells in the aid of providing municipal drinking water for the country. The purview of the authority extends to the country's sewage treatment plants.
The Water and Sewerage Authority was formed by Act 16 of 1965 and enacted on September 1, 1965. This Act brought together several agencies that were formerly charged with the responsibility of providing water and sewerage facilities to the nation:
- The Central Water Distribution Authority
- The Port of Spain City Council
- The San Fernando Borough Council
- The Arima Borough Council
- The County Councils
- The Water Division of the Ministry of Public Utilities
- The Sanitation Division of the Ministry of Public Utilities
The authority is the largest public utility in the country. It serves over 90% of the population with pipeborne water through private house connections and standpipes. Since its establishment, water production has increased from 223,000 cubic metres to 650,000 cubic metres in 1990.
With respect to wastewater, 30%–40% of the population is served by a central sewerage collection and treatment system. Another 40% of the population are served by cesspit-tank soil-absorption field systems. Those remaining are served by pit latrines (outhouses).
The authority is represented by WASA FC, currently playing in the National Super League, the second tier of the Trinidadian and Tobagoan football league structure

PARIS. ANATOLE FRANCE has come into the news again, this time because of the reception of M. Paul Valery, his successor, into the French Academy. But since his death, less than three years ago, there have been published continually volumes of critical study or of personal reminiscences of this great writer, whom some declare to be already forgotten, or about to fall into complete oblivion.

Just as there are boundaries in every relationship, there are limits to what HBO will allow Girls to show viewers.
And for all the rampant on-screen nudity and offbeat sexual scenarios depicted on Lena Dunham's Girls (remember when Hannah's boyfriend peed on her in the shower?), executive producer Judd Apatow says there have been a few instances when the cable network bosses have exercised their censor prerogative.
Best known for big-screen hits like The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up, Apatow made the surprising admission during a recent address to students at Loyala Marymount University in Los Angeles.
"There have been things on Girls where HBO has said to us, 'If we put this on TV, we literally could lose our license to broadcast'," admitted the 46-year-old screenwriter and director.
Naturally, Apatow declined to elaborate on the specific scenes that were forbidden by HBO, or when they were planned during Girls' three-season run. "Let's just say it's something you see in adult film. Elements of sexual intercourse. The high points of sexual intercourse," he said.
But since he's a pragmatic sort of guy (and possibly because he once topped the list of Hollywood's 50 Smartest People), Apatow said he completely understood why HBO excised the boundary-bending scenes.
"Cause you're home watching HBO," he told students. "You watch Hope Floats, then you see that on Girls. It's good. It's all good. And I understand that. But that's our job, to try and figure out where the line is."Report Typo/Error

NO WONDER Ewen McKenzie had mountains on the brain. The Wallabies had spent two days staring at the Remarkables, the mountain range that looms over Queenstown and hugs the south-eastern shore of the glacier-fed Lake Wakatipu. They trained in the shadow of Bob's Peak on Ben Lomond, with hills at their backs and sides dominating the view at every turn.
By the time the team arrived in Dunedin for the Bledisloe Cup clash with the All Blacks, mountains had penetrated McKenzie's subconscious. ''Hopefully we've bottomed out and are climbing the mountain again, that's how sport works, you go up and down,'' he said when asked about the team's progress this year.
''The All Blacks tend to jump from mountain to mountain, they don't go down for very long and their troughs are a little bit shallower than everyone else's, but you have those moments, that's the cycle of sport. You have to tough it out and start climbing again.''
The Wallabies have been climbing for a while. They hit a high plateau two weeks ago with a resounding seven-try victory over the Pumas in Argentina, a feat that should not be underestimated in the context of the Pumas' proud record at home.
But whether they can scale the heights of victory against the All Blacks - Richie McCaw or no - is another matter.
New Zealand have not lost at home in 29 Test matches, and the tough talk flowing from the mouth of All Blacks coach Steve Hansen this week suggests there are significant disincentives to starting now.
Ask any Wallaby worth his jersey what the measure of success is for an Australian team off its peak against a New Zealand team not far off its best, and he will say ''a win and nothing less'' every time.
''Just being competitive won't be good enough for us. We want to get a win,'' halfback Will Genia said. ''It's about aggression, it's about hunger, it's about wanting to win those 50-50 balls, doing the hard yards of not pushing the passes, staying in the line, defending for long periods of time. If we can do that, then we can give ourselves a chance to win. That's all that is a pass mark.''
Adam Ashley-Cooper has played under as many Wallabies coaches as his back-line teammate Tevita Kuridrani has Test caps. Peaks and troughs, Ashley-Cooper has seen a few. He has played through his fair share of bad losses and subsequent public hand-wringing to amass 86 Test caps. He's seen bright young things come and go from the Wallabies back line.
Improvement is the bare minimum he expects against the All Blacks in Dunedin. He's striving for something more tangible.
''You can say we want improvement but we're desperate to get a win against these guys. Desperate for the credibility and reputation of the Wallabies and for the credibility of each and every individual in this team,'' he said.
''I look at my own record … and I've only had four wins from 18 or 19 games against them. That's not something I'm particularly proud of personally, but for me it's being part of a team that can restore a little bit of credibility and faith in the team among the Australian support base. To show them that we are building and improving as a team and that next year will be a better year.''
The odds say the Wallabies won't win this time. They're still too raw, too unpolished, to topple a side whose back line resembles a single, fluid organism fanning out in attack.
The All Blacks ramp up the pressure like no one else in world rugby. The Springboks gave them a run for their money at Ellis Park two weeks ago but New Zealand withstood the heat and turned it back on their opponents with devastating effect.
It is the one trait Genia wants his side to adopt more than any other of the All Blacks' virtues.
''It can be pressure in a number of ways, building pressure with the ability to hold on to the ball and not push passes or make mistakes, or build pressure in defence by having discipline in your line to back each other, not have guys shooting out of the line to chase lost causes at breakdowns,'' he said. ''They build pressure very, very well in those areas of the game.''
The Wallabies are growing accustomed to pressure too. But it's the one that comes from outside, sits on their shoulders and breathes down their necks.
Ashley-Cooper believes the disappointments have bred a new level of competitiveness in a squad, which, contrary to the popular narrative, is hungrier than ever to reach its next summit.
''I've been part of ups and downs … It doesn't happen over night but I'd like to believe the Wallabies are going through something similar to a lot of the successful teams around that have come through dark patches,'' he said. ''There is a lot of talent in this team that in years to come can achieve great things.
''It's about learning from everything we're experiencing now; all the disappointment, all the lows, and using them as motivation in years to come.
''[It's about] learning about what it is to be professional, and taking all those losses and turning them into success.''

Nantucket will forever be our special place, as I know it is for many people. When I first visited sixteen years ago, I was immediately awe struck by the magic and pure unadulterated beauty of the island. The unforgiving "New Englandness" of it all and its upscale Americanism that truly rain supreme. Our transcendent tour guides, Emily and Jack, were present throughout our brief little trip, and we are forever grateful to them for guiding us in the most perfect directions. We spent a little under three days on the Island but, as always, it was well fueled by fantastic and memorable eats. Here are my Radish Recs: NantucketRead More

Morocco was an experience for all the senses. It was gritty and potent and sticky and flavorful - all tangled up in an adventurous holiday. We traveled to North Africa for one week in June and ate our way through Fes, Marrakesh, and the High Atlas Mountains. We started our journey toward Fes, stopping at the ancient Roman ruins of Volubulis, and then onto Moulay Idriss, the holiest Muslim site in Morocco before reaching our resting place of a few days in Fes.Read More
Radish Recs: Miami
Miami, a beach metropolis complete with sun, fun, and satisfying eats. This past weekend I had the opportunity to visit this city on the sea for the sixth time. I try and expand my Miami repertoire each visit by experiencing a new hotel and seeking out Radish-friendly eats and treats. I find myself flocking back to old faithful spots such as Joe's as well as uncovering new "go-to's" like Jugo Fresh. Not all my eating adventures were hits, misses are unfortunately part of the process. As a health junkie, integrating exercise is always a critical component for me during my travels, and I always try to stay at a hotel with a strong wellness program or seek out fitness studios near-by. In typical Radish fashion, not every Radish Rec is super "crunchy", but I always strive for a balance of wellness and fun and do indulge, on occasion. Without further ado, here are my Radish-Approved, Radish Recs: Miami.Read More
Radish Recs: Buenos Aires and Patagonia
Our trip to Patagonia was epic, so epic and intense that it has taken me a good amount of time to fully absorb it all and feel able to recount the experience. First off our travel specialist, Beth Jenkins, did an incredible job curating our trip. She truly listened to what we wanted and created a true adventure with some surprises along the way.Read More

My name is Buddy Hartman and I am trying to find out a little bit more information about the new Idaho State Record and new Modern Day Tiger Muskie World record. I visited the modernmuskierecords.org website to try and find out more about this magnificent fish and also hope to see the video as per the website, however when I inquired about the video via their website, they informed me they did not have it and was wondering if I knew to get it. So to come full circle, I was wondering if any of you had an email address for Ed Kalinowski so I can email him to see if he is willing to share the video. I am an Esox enthusiast and was the former President of Chapter 57 of Muskies, Inc. when I lived in Washington State but now I live near Idaho Falls. Thanks in advance for your help.
Buddy Hartman
Sorry. By law, Idaho Dept. of Fish and Game can only provide the anglers name - Ed Kalinowski. We cannot provide you with his address, phone or email information. We've also heard about the video, but we've never seen it.

furnace blows cold air but burner is workin
i have an old bryant furnace. its real big but not a gravity furnace. the air it blows is cold, even from the vent coming out of the plenum. when you look inside the burner is burning good. it runs almost constantly and it only stays at 62 even though its set for 67. i live in cleveland, ohio. any ideas?
Probably time for a new furnace... I bet the fan quit
Probably needs a clean and tune. Orifice/orifices are probably dirty, and manifold pressure may be too low.
the fan is blowing strong. what orifices do you think i should clean? the air comes out strong in the vents upstairs, its just cold.
i just dont understand where all that heat could be going. there's a huge fire in there. maybe something in the plenum is clogged driving all the heat out of the flue?
Is your duct work is in crawl space ?
Do you have outside air ducted into the return? What is the gas pressure in and out of manifold (gas valve)?
The heat exchanger could be caked with dust (where the room air passes through from the return duct to the supply duct) and/or carbon deposits (where the smoke from the fire passes through from the firebox to the chimney and also down where the flames are). The fire should be blue which gives maximum heat and minimum carbon deposits. If the fire is yellow (more carbon deposits) you need to adjust the air/gas mixture using flaps in the burner assembly.
the ducts are in the basement. there isnt really a return duct. it just sucks air in from the basement. what is the best way to access the heat exchanger to clean it? and where is the spot where the smoke from the fire passes the fire box to the chimney? should i just brush and vacuum the area down by the burner?
it just seems like if its still burning fine i dont need to buy a new furnace. maybe the mechanism that causes the fan to turn off is broke. so in between when the burner is on, its blowing cold air up.

Tornado Distribution Centers Over Capacity
It has been two weeks since tornadoes devastated parts of northeast Nebraska. There has been no shortage of people wanting to donate items to help tornado victims.
But organizers at the distribution centers in Wisner, Stanton and Wakefield say they have exceeded warehouse capacity and respectfully ask that no additional donations be made, until additional specific needs are identified.
Organizers remind all victims from any of the communities and rural areas of the northeast Nebraska counties hit by the June 16 tornadoes to visit the distribution centers if they have unmet needs.
Victims who are staying with family or friends can still get items at the distribution centers. The centers have a wide variety of items including food, personal hygiene, clothing and laudry supplies

Arrests Made in Chaffin Murder
Two men are under arrest in the shooting death of Archer resident Clair C. Chaffin.
He was shot during a robbery attempt as he traveled through Florence, South Carolina.
Authorities have arrested 25-year-old Sylvester Davis Jr., and 17-year-old Dondre Michael Scott. Both have been charged with murder.
While South Carolina authorities make their case for the two men who killed him, his family, friends and fellow Marines are dealing with the stunning loss.
TV 20's Joey Parker shows us how a high school drop-out lived the life of a hero.
Clair Chaffin attended junior college and majored in building construction.
In recognition of his sacrifice to serve his country, Governor Jeb Bush awarded him a full high school diploma from the State of Florida, in 2004.
Memorial and funeral services are being arranged.

My Ride: 2006 BMW 330Cic
P0128 Code 330Cic 26k low miles
I have a 06 330Cic with only 26k on the OD and got a P0128 Code. The vehicle is stored all winter Nov-May roughly 1/2 the year. I fill the tank with Shell gas (always use) and stable. The battery goes on a tender in my attached garage. So this year I bring it out and it throws a P0128 code.
I also should note that I knocked the cord loose on the tender and the orginal batter was dead as a doornail this spring. I fully charged it but it goes dead, so I replaced it, but the P0128 code was thrown the charged up old battery.
So, could old gas be causing the P0128? (We have Gov subsidised and mandated 10% Ethanol crap here) Could a weak battery, sitting all winter be any part of this code? Hard to believe the thermo is going bad, but if that's it, it's not showing any symptoms. It seems a little early for a cooling system, and it's not overheating, under temp is the code? Temp needle right in the middle and never anything strange going on with the temp.
I have a Innova CanOBD2 diag reader and pulled the code. The car and engine compartement are so clean you can eat off it. I don't even drive the car in the rain if it can be avoided to keep road spray out of the engine compartment. ( I know a lttle particular, but I drive a Camry appliance to work on the rough roads, stop and go rush hour, and avoid the road salt of winter here in Wisconsin).
So anyway, Any thoughts on the code or should I get busy doing the thermo (hard to believe at 26K?). Thanks in advance for any advice

The Denver Broncos honored their history this week and tied up a few loose ends along the way.
The team selected three more people for its Ring of Fame, and did it with a needed nod to the past. Too often, whether it's the Pro Football Hall of Fame, a team's list of all-time greats or simply somebody's all-everything team in cyberspace, too much attention is paid to the highlight generation, not enough to when the trail was carved in the first place.
So, it was good to see the Broncos add Gene Mingo, Rick Upchurch and Dan Reeves to its list of all-timers.
For some, the Broncos' history starts with Hall of Famer John Elway or even Mike Shanahan's long tenure with the team that included Super Bowl wins in each of the final two seasons of Elway's playing career. So, many of the "omissions" folks want to talk about in the Ring of Fame, or even the Hall of Fame, are often just a discussion of the post-90s Broncos.
So, to see Mingo honored, an original Bronco who played in the team's first five seasons, shows some respect for what came before the Broncos were the Broncos for many people.
Upchurch spent nine years with the Broncos, his last season was Elway's rookie year in 1983, but was good enough to make the league's all-decade team for the 70s as a kick returner. All-decade players are rare, all-decade players not in their team's Ring of Fame are rarer still.
And Reeves' selection shows time has perhaps healed some old wounds, at least enough to honor what was done in his tenure. Owner Pat Bowlen fired Reeves in 1992 after 12 seasons with the team and there are plenty of stories still swirling in the city about the level of friction that did or didn't exist between Reeves, Shanahan and Elway in those years.
Reeves is the first coach in the team's Ring of Fame. He won five division titles and made three Super Bowl appearances in a four-year span. As a player, assistant or head coach Reeves has participated in more Super Bowls -- nine -- than any other player or coach in league history.
"It'll probably be a tremendous emotion, I know that," Reeves said of the Week 2 ceremony in the coming season. "So many great memories. My family basically grew up, my three children, they only had to move one time from the time they got into school and the time they went to college. That wouldn't happen with many football coaches."
When asked about his most memorable games as Broncos head coach, Reeves was quick to invoke the team's top football executive -- Elway.
"We talk so much about the Super Bowls and all, but you know we played probably one of the more exciting championship games in Cleveland," Reeves said. "Every year you get to see that because that was noted as "The Drive" and the next year was "The Fumble," but those were two great championship games. Probably one of the championship games we lost up in Buffalo was one we very easily could have won, but that was a great year for us, too. It's something where when you win that many games, there were so many phenomenal comebacks that we had. One that sticks out was when John was a rookie and we played Baltimore, the Colts you know, and it was such a big deal about John not going to play for the Colts and they came in there and had a big lead in the fourth quarter and we came from behind and I think that's when we all realized that as long as we had John Elway, we could have a chance in the fourth quarter if we just even kept it close. When you look back at all the many comebacks that we had in the fourth quarter, it gave me a lot of grey hairs, but it was exciting."
When the names go up on the stadium façade in September, it will be a deserved honor for all three whose time had come. And those who don't remember their history are often doomed to not enjoying all of the good parts, too.

Review Request: Forum Youngblood Gpops
Thinking of getting the Youngblood Gpops looks like everything i need :thumbsup: Has anyone had any experience of it what? would they compare it too? Some people have said the flex is a little stiffer than the 4/10 rating they give it.
I know it's sad to say but I would recommend buying a board from a brand that still exists... Warranties etc. are out the door since Burton shut them down last year. Sad as they were one of my favorites back in the day.
Have taken that into consideration but still quite interested. Got a Camber Artifact which i love but would like something a little bit stiffer.
Alright well as long as you've taken it in to consideration. That being said if you're already on the Camber version of the Artifact (excellent choice btw) and you're looking for something noticeably stiffer I'd have to say that the boards are likely gonna be too similar in flex and you'd probably be better looking for a stiffer board. The camber version of the artifact to me already makes it feel a tad stiffer than the rocker version and if that's what you were riding I'd maybe say you were gonna like the Gpops, but to me the Camber Artifact and the Gpops had a pretty similar feeling stiffness wise...
Cheers for the info sounds like they are two very similar boards.
Don't want anything massively stiffer. The Artifact i've got is 150 and isn't ideal for the bigger jumps and is getting a bit battered, was thinking the 152 youngblood (gpops) would be a good replacement, a little stiffer for the bigger jumps but still be playful for everything else, basically very similar just a little stiffer.

The project will see the bridge's gothic turrets, aerial walkway and suspension chains bathed in colour from the energy efficient lights.
Officials will close the bridge to traffic from 11 tonight so that scaffolding can be put up and will reopen it at 5am on Monday.
The lighting system is being designed by Citelum, the firm behind flood-lighting Egypt's Valley of the Kings, the Petronas Tower in Kuala Lumpur and the Eiffel Tower. The intensity of light, as well as the colours, will be able to be varied, meaning it could be spectacularly lit up in the colours of the Union flag during the Games. Once work is completed in March, energy consumption from lighting the bridge will be cut by up to 40 per cent.
The makeover, which follows repainting work, will be funded at no cost to the taxpayer by energy firms EDF and GE and the bridge's owner, the City of London Corporation.
During this weekend's closure pedestrians will still be able to use the footbridge but traffic and cyclists will be diverted via the Rotherhithe Tunnel and Southwark Bridge.Reuse content

Thanks for any input!
I have also been curious about ceramic knives for a while. Finally, I bought one from an online auction site for less than $20 w/shipping. It's a 6" blade and is very light. My main purpose of this knife is use with fruits and veggies. The sharpness, wow, this thing is crazy sharp, the blade just glides through all the veggies I have tried so far. Then a quick rinse and clean under the faucet and put back on the top shelf, I don't want my kids or wife using it, too sharp and fragile for them. I really like mine so far, and for less than $20 why not try one yourself?
Ok, so here's the thing. If you are a home cook, who is only going to cut veggies and fruit with your knife, and you can find a good deal: go for it.
IF you are a professional
IF you want to cut meat/fish/shellfish/misc
IF you are going to use it for more than a few months
IF you like to be able to shapen your own knife
IF you are not going to baby it
Don't bother to buy one. Despite the common belief, they do get dull, and not as slowly as you'd like to believe. They also shatter (as in to pieces.). I had the misfortune of dropping a ceramic knife and having it shatter like glass. They chip, and you can't sharpen it out yourself. Waste of money.
If you want a high quality knife that will stay sharp, get high-carbon japanese knife.
Yes to almost all of what Igannon said --I just don't understand the meat/fish thing. Nevertheless, +1.
I'm surprised ceramic knives came up at all... again. You don't see much written about ceramics anymore, nor do you see them marketed very much either. It appears to be an idea, as Victor Hugo might have said, whose time has passed.
There are a lot of problems with ceramics. Iggy got a few of them. From my own viewpoint, one of the biggest is that they aren't made in sizes large enough to be a useful go-to knife.
The biggest though is that they are so very fragile. They pretty much come with a Broken Tip Guarantee.
They appear to be pitched for people who can't sharpen a knife (even though ceramics do dull eventually). But I don't see being limited to a paring knife for everything, especially one that needs to be babied, as a good solution. Certainly not for anyone with decent knife skills.
By the way, ceramic knives can be sharpened at home with decent skills, patience, and good diamond stones (like DMTs).
I had a Bokar utility knife that I used for about 10 years mostly at home. It was as sharp as the day I bought it when I dropped it and it broke. I used to use it for fruits and veggies as it wouldn't make them turn brown like some steel knives do. I miss it. I agree with Iggy about the Japanese knives. That's what I use at work.
I had a Bokar utility knife that I used for about 10 years mostly at home. It was as sharp as the day I bought it when I dropped it and it broke.
Probably just a typo -- if so, forgive the correction -- but it's Boker, not Bokar.
If you got 10 years of frequent use without any wear at all, you're the exception to the laws of physics then. Ceramics do get dull. They don't get dull as fast as steel knives, but they do get dull. They are also prone to chipping. Further, they are problematic to say the least when it comes to sharpening.
I dropped it and it broke is one of the other MAJOR drawbacks.
A third is the absence of adequate sizes and any real variety in profiles. They're pretty much limited to what the French call office and very small chef's. They're office is useful when you want a small knife, but small chef's are non-starters as far as I'm concerned.
Fourth, good ceramics are very pricey.
I used to use it for fruits and veggies as it wouldn't make them turn brown like some steel knives do. I miss it.
I don't understand the separation of "fruits and 'veggies'" from other food. Also I find keeping and maitaining special purpose knives for very common tasks to be a pain. The why of it is beyond me.
The off color is caused by one of two things. Either your knives are crushing rather than cutting or there's some sort of chemical reaction with the blades' steel alloys. It's not any sort of leap to conclude your other knives are either cheap carbons (SK4, e.g.) which haven't been properly patinated or neutralized (as with baking soda); or, more likely, they are simply dull.
I've used old French carbons forever -- most of them since when they weren't old and neither was I. The rare instances of the browning you describe only occurred when I already knew the knives were well past time to sharpen.
Ceramics are something like Cutco in that they are knives for people who don't really "get" the whole "sharpening is part of owning knives" bit. But, to paraphrase Robert Knowles, they're entitled to cutlery too.
2 more cents,
Hey Boar. Yes it's Boker. I got mine for free. When I talk about discoloration I'm referring mostly to avocados apples limes and lettuce. I find that even with a very, very sharp carbon steel knife they tend to discolor when sliced. They didn't with the Boker. My knives are all extremely sharp by the way. I have never heard of "patinated or neutralizing" them. How exactly do I do that?
"Patina" is the artist's name for passivation. In other words, a very thin, stable layer of oxidation which protects metal from reacting with its environment -- including preventing further oxidation.
It's become popular to "force" a patina on new carbon-steel (i.e., non-stainless) knives in order to prevent them rusting and from reacting with food. To do this, soak the knife in some sort of oxidizing agent -- prepared mustard, hydrogen peroxide, vinegar, etc.; remove the knive from the soak, and wipe it just enough so that you can see the surface; allow the knife to continue to react to the agent until it looks like it's achieved the desired amount of patina; rinse the knife thoroughly to stop the reaction; wipe down thoroughly; allow at least a day for the surface to stabilize, then dip in a dilute solution of baking soda (NOT washing soda), to completely stop the reaction, and rinse and wipe again.
Mustard patinas are very interesting -- the patterns look almost like wootz or Damascus. Mario Batali did his Misno Sweden knives with mustard -- you may have seen his gyuto on the last Iron Chef.
Another good method for patinating/passivating is to scour your carbon knives with Bar Keeper's Friend. The oxalic acid in BKF will cause the surface of your knives to oxidize not too long after you've cleaned them. After they've achieved the proper level of patina you can do the baking soda thing.
Speaking of baking soda, another way to make carbon steel less reactive is to "neturalize" it by scouring it with baking soda. The knives will still develop a patina but it won't be dark. Instead it will be the dull, silver glow of properly maintained tools.

What Dogs Do When We're Not Looking
This won't come as a big surprise to anyone who has spent a lot of time around dogs, but research has shown that dogs are capable of putting themselves into a person's shoes, so to speak.
The study to which I am referring has the enigmatic title "Dogs Steal in the Dark." From its abstract:
In the current study, we set up a situation in which contextual information and social cues are in conflict. A human always forbade the dog from taking a piece of food. The part of the room being illuminated was then varied, for example, either the area where the human was seated or the area where the food was located was lit. Results show that dogs steal significantly more food when it is dark compared to when it is light. While stealing forbidden food the dog's behaviour also depends on the type of illumination in the room. Illumination around the food, but not the human, affected the dogs' behaviour. This indicates that dogs do not take the sight of the human as a signal to avoid the food. It also cannot be explained by a low-level associative rule of avoiding illuminated food which dogs actually approach faster when they are in private. The current finding therefore raises the possibility that dogs take into account the human's visual access to the food while making their decision to steal it.
In other words, dogs seem able to reason that if they can't see in the dark, neither can the person in the same room, and then use that information to their advantage.
These findings fit with what I have been going though with my own dog, Apollo. He loves to chew on paper but has learned that the people he shares his house with do not approve — particularly when the behavior is directed towards homework and library books. His response? Now he only table surfs when he's alone in the house. And before you ask, no, I do not think this habit is caused by separation anxiety (he has no other symptoms that fit) or is an attempt to "get back" at us for leaving (this would imply a degree of ill will that is completely contrary to his personality). I believe he simply understands that he can get away with indulging himself when we inadvertently walk out the door while leaving paper products out at dog level.
Another study from a few years back concluded that dogs were as intelligent as 2-2 ½-year-olds when using word and gesture recognition as the standard, were more like a 4-year-olds with regards to math, and perhaps most similar to teenagers in social settings (now there's a scary thought).
I've always said that dogs are like 5-year-olds that never grow up. Sneaking a treat when they think no one is paying attention certainly sounds like something a 5-year-old would do, don't you think?

Harry Redknapp, fresh from "the cruellest last kick" he has suffered in football – Shaun Maloney's stoppage-time equaliser for Wigan last weekend – desperately requires a remedy at Goodison Park. QPR are seven points adrift of safety with six games remaining and face an Everton team needing a win for their own aim of European qualification. QPR's task is not helped by the return from suspension of Marouane Fellaini and Steven Pienaar, although they did win the corresponding fixture 1-0 last season. That seems an awfully long time ago.

The inspiration for Jessica's design struck in the form of a 30-yard bolt of black-and-white houndstooth fabric that was on sale for an amazing $30. "I loved that fabric," says Jessica, "and it was such a bargain. Even after the window treatments, upholstery, and pillows, I still had plenty of extra." Leftover fabric doesn't have to go to waste. Use it down the road as seat cushions on new finds, lampshades, and even place mats or a tablecloth.
If you can't score a bargain on fabric, definitely find a pattern you love and use it. Get more usage out of smaller yardage by covering accent elements―such as pillows, lampshades, stools, side chairs, and the backs of cabinets―with it. (FYI: It takes about 1 yard of fabric to make one 18-inch pillow.)
For large pieces, such as a sofa, opt for a neutral slipcover. You'll save your budget from reupholstery costs and give yourself more freedom to alter the look. This is always a good thing!
This first-time homeowner filled her Atlanta bungalow without breaking the budget. Take notes on these fresh ideas.

As daily routines go, commuting on the Tube is about as fun an activity as shaving one's eyeballs. The very best you can hope for is no delays, and such great success in squeezing through the crush as to secure the best seat in the house — the one at the end of the row, with only one neighbour, and a precious partition to lean a weary head against.
But, if you can nab that seat, strike it lucky with a carriage absent of anyone with BO and avoid all of those headphone wearers who like to share their beats with everyone on board, then that's a top-notch commute.
Yet this week saw two intruders join our numbers for some pleb-tourism. Spice Girls Geri Halliwell and Emma Bunton — Londoners who have avoided the Underground for a cumulative total of three decades — took trips on the Tube. Halliwell went first, travelling precisely one stop from Leicester Square to Piccadilly Circus, a journey TfL says takes "up to" two minutes. The kind of journey that TfL also says you're better off walking, to save others from the crush.
But anyway, Halliwell so enjoyed the trip — obviously embarked on in the middle of the day, for her tweeted photos reveal the platforms were empty — that she described her feelings on emerging into daylight as "I'm liberated!!" That was followed up by oh-so-helpful advice, such as "Tube tip — doors stops at platform entrance, or below sign. More seats at end carriage. Oh, and it's not smelly, just saying."
If that wasn't bad enough, her fellow crooner Emma Bunton was at it a day later "commuting to work on the Tube". Well, not quite, since she lives near me in the bowels of north London but got on the Northern line at Charing Cross for a few stops. But at least Bunton joined the masses at 7.30am, and suffered the trials of a dodgy Oyster card: "As soon as I put it down, it said 'seek assistance'."
Next thing we know they'll be taking their own brand of roughing it with the plebs on the Megabus, tweeting "it's so fun on here, they've specially darkened the windows to preserve anonymity" (no, that's grime). Or packing onto a Ryanair flight: "Wow, so keen to look after my Louis Vuitton trunk properly I can pay £200 to pop it in the hold — so sweet."
Meanwhile, over in the US, Jay-Z took New York's metro from Manhattan to Brooklyn to perform in a concert and, rather than promoting his "ordinary-ness", gamely chatted to a lady he sat next to who wanted to know "are you famous?" And when Barbadian singer Rhianna comes to London, she's practically a regular on the Jubilee line.
Not so for Baby Spice. She did tell Londoners, "I know everyone has to do it in the mornings and the rush hour in the afternoons and it's a toughie." But Bunton then admitted she'll be back in her chaffeur-driven car from now on.
Why not, if you can? But stop with the gawping, celebs. The Tube is no tourist attraction, it's the best way we have of getting from A to B. Leave our weeny bits of carriage-land to those of us who need it.

No takers really?
I don't mind low tech and high tech systems just wanted to see what others were using
i keep waffling over the corner-style tank. it seems so practical for, well, a corner - exactly where i have my tank - but I just can't get over the distortion of a rounded front, or the choppiness of a 5-sided tank. which do you have? you like it?
Corner tank show and tell
I have the 5 sided it was actually given to me by my sisters partners brother in law haha
Drilled in the back has a sump with wet dry and 2 skimmers (was a reef tank)
So I'm yet to purchase lighting or anything for it yet I'm thinking of just getting a 50watt led diode with dimable driver to light it with
Need a new c02 reg coz I kinda broke my other one after trying to work out why it was leaking
Once I build a stand for it progress should start happening fortnightly
I mean I have a tub with glosso being dsm'd as I can't grow hc for crap even with heaps of light haha
And I'm thinking of turning one of the skimmers into a reactor for the c02 as well
I do have a filter housing I could make a cerges reactor out of aswell(was what I was using it for on my 40 gal tank I had going a while back

Silverfall - English Demo on Monday
View Single Post
February 2nd, 2007, 11:00
Apologies it took me a day to get to this as I knew it would take me an hour or so with my lack of 1337 typing and grammar skills.
"- There is some evil person at the head of these sites (Rscaife?)"
Yeah sort of but, I did make a mistake it was Rupert Murdock at the helm of the media organizations (websites) we were talking about, oh and he's the Australian whom owns 80% of most of the English language Broadcast TV and News print across the US and world, iirc..
Part of the reason I confused both these guys is they are very corrupt and paid huge amounts to get vital government civil protections with deregulation, one of which is related to undermining the Media.
I had been trying to go by memory and had a conversation recently about (Rscaife), so to all Australian's I offended by suggesting (Rscaife) was Australian you have my apologies.
[My definition of evil (in case you want a baseline) is undermining humanity (human, civil and equal rights) without any regard for the consequences of their actions for power and profit, so obviously others might define it differently.]
The other things I said about Rscaife were accurate like the interview and I guess the evil part was more in the line of, the interview I sited and the financing this evil organizations.
Columbia School of Journalism is one of the most nonpartisan highly regarded journalism associations and schools possibly in the world, also associated with the Pew Charitable Trust, iirc.
After he made his first threat (?) to get out, he went on verbally attacking her saying she had bad teeth and verbally attacking her mother.
As she did comply by starting to leave he said," Don't look behind you." (another threat?).
Basically in 1981 when this happened info had started coming out about Iran Contra and the RNC undermining the 1980 elections by selling weapons to terrorists.
So through his financing to help get regan elected, his favor was getting
The Fairness Doctrine removed, which require news broadcast to provide accurate news.
This allows Rupert Murdock to run propaganda organizations like fox and new york (puke?) post and many others like the american spectator and media research center because they are not required to tell the truth.
They now use innuendo and opinion and call it news, which most of the US public doesn't seem to know.
In case you're interested in the implications of this, control of the media for political propaganda is 1 of the 14 common denominators in one of the most extensive studies of all known fascist societies to have existed, by Dr. Lawrence Britt.
Oh and here in the US we currenlty have the other 13 denominators, isn't that hoot!
Crap in a way this brings us back to Rscaife (see why it's easy to confuse them) whose funding started these organizations though he was mostly a player during the 1980's and Rupert Murdock started in the mid to early 1990s and helping newt and others lie their way into control of the house and senate, not doing a single one of the ten promise to America pledges getting away terrible deregulation consequences for 10 years.
"- That identity theft is somehow uniquely associated with these sites?"
No, in my explanation of how identity thief happens more easily the more you give out your personal info like credit cards, the more likely the data is to get illegally purchased, might have seemed to suggest this but wasn't my intent that these sites are more dangerous.
They could be, though I couldn't tell you much about it, apologies.
"I guess I'm not sure where the line between being unable to register a user name, wanting not to wait 24 hours for a download, and being oppressed by evil overlords is drawn?"
Hehe , that actually sounds like a potential game.
As I mentioned Jabberwocky seemed annoyed at dealing with these sites, as if he had experienced it before, so I though I would explain why the sites do this, to the best of my knowledge, yet if you know differently then I would gladly hear why this occurs.
Not wanting to wait 24 hours only came in a little later when I brought it up as the most annoying to me personally, iirc.
So while this adds to the potential game design not sure it really relates to the topic other than a personal peeve.
"being oppressed by evil overlords is drawn?"
I really like this makes me want to change my nick.
I think/hope this was explained this above.
"the most wildly creative theory as to why gaming sites want your email address"
Lol, it wouldn't be very nice of me to accept credit since not what meant or did intend it as so.
Trust me, most of the names I have been called you can't translate in any language…they're not even real words as much as a succession of violent images.

The Director of Cage Warriors, Graham Boylan gave a rare interview to Fight.ie.
He talks about his own background, what made his get involved with Cage Warriors, his own gym (The MMA Clinic), other business ventures and a lot of jokes too.
Check it out below
What drove your decision to buy the Cage Warriors brand?
Good question, there is a board of directors involved in Cage Warriors , I am the head of the Board and I sail the ship . Cage Warriors is a brand that was dead, it has history and has been a rock in Uk MMA since the beginning. With my gyms and the pro team getting bigger , the industry getting bigger by the day it was a right move to take and in the short space of 6 months it has taken some huge steps with some massive steps happening shortly stay tuned.
