One day soon I may end up with one of those dang Cougars........you never know.
The Beretta Cougar 8000L is my favorite Cougar, glad to see Stoeger will make them.
Stoeger Cougar Double-Action, Auto-Loading Pistol
One day soon I may end up with one of those dang Cougars........you never know.
Very cool they are coming out with the compact version. I really like these but the reason I don't have one is that RH only mounted slide release on the Cougars is very difficult to find and manipulate as a left hand shooter. It's a righty world and if I was one I'd already have a Stoeger (or 3) and be jonesing for this new compact as well. With this new compact and the new Storm compact we have some great options.
I owned a cougar and slap myself for getting rid of it. It was a tad too big for me to carry. If they are coming out with a more compact version I think it will be a early xmas present! Thanks for the heads up!
The grip on the Stoeger Compact will be about 1/2 inch shorter than the Stoeger Cougar 8000F (full size). The Compact will hold 13+1 rounds, the full size holds 15+1 rounds. Everything else will be the same as the Cougar 8000F.
You can NEVER have to many Cougars.
Just received this e-mail from Stoeger about when the new Cougar L will be available.
"About 3-4 months out right now... "
Anyone have any info on what Beretta parts, mags, attachments fit the Stoeger Cougar?
got a stoeger 9mm 8000.... what a great gun... very accurate and fun to shoot... feels great in my hand... i ordered 3 beretta mag from cdnn for 19.99 each .... i would love to find some rubber grips not the slip on type... cant seem to find any thing yet...

Today, Congressman John Sullivan supported repealing another core provision of President Obama's healthcare law, as the House Energy and Commerce Committee approved H.R. 452, the Medicare Decisions AccountabilityAct. Specifically, H.R. 452 would repeal the controversial Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB) provisions of Obamacare, which sets up a board of unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats who will be in charge of making Medicare reimbursement decisions for doctors and seniors. Sullivan offered the following statement:
"Programs like IPAB are just another attempt by the Obama Administration to put government bureaucrats in control of our health care system -- this jeopardizes the ability of Medicare beneficiaries to access the critical health care services they rely on."
"If President Obama thinks we are going to roll over and accept his government takeover of our healthcare system, he has another thing coming -- this law is bad for patients, bad for doctors, bad for small businesses and a disaster for our struggling economy. While I still believe the entire law needs to be repealed, we will continue our efforts to take it apart piece by piece if we have to. The American people don't want it, and the federal government can't afford it."

cabin air filter?
I want to check the cabin air filter. The book says to open the clove box and remove the screw just above the cd player and pull the tray out. I was able to remove the screw alright but I can't seem to pull the tray out. I haven't pulled real hard for fear of breaking something. Is the tray hard to get out or am I missing something?

Re: cabin air filter?
I think all filters are under 4yr maintenance warranty. At certain mileage levels.

Ok, this is impressive.
I just drove across the country in my new car. There are many places along this drive in the more...shall we say, "bovine intensive" areas of the country along the route we take where our expectation has become one of personal torture due to having to endure many miles of the gut-wrenching, near-visible stench that comes off of the stock yards. I mean, this is stink you can actually taste even if you plug your nose it's so bad (this is *not* a joke). It's a stank that may be powerful enough to alter one's genetic make-up more effectively than many forms of radiation. The smell is so strong and nasty I thank heavens the Soviets didn't get a hold of it and harness it as a weapon during the Cold War or we'd all be speaking Russian...and not because we *had* to...because we'd *want* to over dealing with the rankness. If they used it at Guantanamo Bay, the U.N. Would declare us an olfactory threat to the world.
This is a bad smell.
So back to my point...we drove this route expecting the normal choking and gagging....and *saw* the cattle yards....noticed the wind was pointed our way....and only a *very* slight odor penetrated the car. I could not believe it...something had to be off, right? Cracked the window for a *fraction* of a second and the passengers erupted in a wave of complaining that lasted 1/3 of the way across Nebraska (for those who have driven across Nebraska, *that* is saying something).
This car keeps out exterior odors.
Amazing and well done.
I can only imagine that it must also be pretty tough on allergens, huh?

Resident Dr. Sonabend Sets up Brain Lab for Med Students With Help of Dr. Canoll
Adam Sonabend, MD, 5th year neurosurgery resident (wearing a red shirt and white apron in top left photo), recently set up a 3 day neuroanatomy course for medical students here at Columbia University Medical Center/New York Presbyterian.
Dr. Sonabend was assisted by 4th year medical student and Doris Duke fellow, Mike McDowell (with shaved head in bottom photo). They were fortunate to be able to bring in one of our distinguished professors as an instructor, Dr. Peter Canoll, Associate Professor of Pathology and Cell Biology and Co-Director of the Brain Tumor Center (bottom right of bottom photo).
"Studying the brain is key for a medical student," says Dr. Sonabend. "Books are essential, as well as fascinating neuroscience lectures. Nevertheless, for true anatomical understanding, especially for integration of the knowledge at a clinical level, there is no substitute for dissection of the human brain. For many centuries, clinicians and scientists were not allowed to do this, and had to hide risking their lives in order to study the human brain. At Columbia, the resources are available for wonderful hands-on neuroanatomy learning. We are taking advantage of this opportunity and getting together with the medical students to do brain dissections and learn about the spatial relationships between different neuroanatomical structures."
Students learned to dissect human brains to expose different structures with a focus on the tridimensional relationships between the different parts. The brain specimens were prepared with a special protocol called the Klinger's technique to allow for the easy identification of deep white matter structures such as the superior longitudinal fasciculus, the optic pathway, and the corticospinal tract, areas which are key for language, vision and motor activity respectively. Throughout these dissections, clinical correlations were emphasized.Posted on Jan 25, 2013 by Department Author

order started out with a error, was correct, then not but in the end fixed... Review by Jules
Love the color, we bought the Blue Ice for my daughter for zmas on 12/12. I 1st order the wrong color and they nicely changed the color for me. They told me my pkg would arrive in two to three days. I called 4 days later and was then told it was back ordered and I had a 70% chance of getting it for xmas...SOMEONE DID NOT PASS THAT INFO TO ME....The mixer was finally able to be shipped 12/23 and would be late for xmas. I was told I could pay $75 to over night the item..You folks ended up paying for the shipment ....You turn a bad issue into a good one with your customer service...Thank you (Posted on 12/25/15)
Would you recommend this product to a friend? Definitely yes
Indispensable for baking! Review by Sandra Smiley
There is nothing about the KitchenAid 5 quart Artisan Stand Mixer that I do not love. The Ice is a gorgeous color, the weight makes it very stable, powerful to handle heavy loads, the tilt head makes it easy to use and clean up is a breeze. It is the perfect size for making buttercream frosting. (Posted on 1/25/15)

Amazing Review by Guest
The price on this site is absolutely amazing to begin with! My mixer was delivered so quickly and everything went smoothly. This Kitchenaid stand mixer is not only adorable but works great too. My baking has been a million times more enjoyable because this mixer lets me do everything and anything without any issues. Highly recommend! (Posted on 8/22/11)
VERY GOOD PRICE! Review by Guest
Mine did not come dirty, but note that I am only 13 and saved up my own money to buy this Kitchen Aid Artisan Mixer. I knew that the color would be extremely light, so I have no problem with this product. (Posted on 6/3/11)
Love love! Review by Guest
Couldn't Love the Mixer More! Review by Guest
I purchased this ice blue Kitchenaid Artisan stand mixer for my daughter and myself. My daughter wants to go to baking culinary school so we needed a new stand mixer. The price was fantastic, service great, and the color (Ice Blue) was just as expected. It reminds me of the kitchens in the 50's. We highly recommend this item and website!! (Posted on 5/11/11)
Classic wedding gift! Review by Guest
I bought this in Ice Blue Kitchenaid Artisan for my very best friend when she got married. She was thrilled. The stand mixer works beautifully as expected. The color is fabulous, and reminiscent of the 50's.
Furthermore, the everythingkitchens.com site was the lowest price I could find for ANY Kitchenaid stand mixer, and the delivery was super fast. My package was shipped directly to my friend, in New Orleans, and she received it within a week of ordering. Plus I received free shipping, and there wasn't sales tax on my order! Very happy with this company, and VERY happy my best friend loves her mixer. (Posted on 5/11/11)
I love it Review by Guest
I had the bowl-lift model from Kitchenaid for years and when we redid the kitchen I wanted to try the tilt-head Artisan model and I love it. Much easier and now that it's just the two of us I'm not mixing such huge quantities of things anymore. (Posted on 5/11/11)
Beware of What Color You Choose Review by Guest
I have the (ice) color, it is light and so when I opened mine up for the first time it was dirty with grey stuff all over it. I now wish I would have purchased a darker one. The splatter shield is made poorly, hard to stay on. It is a heavy item so it stays well on the counter. Turning it on and off is a little harder than what it should be. (Posted on 12/15/10)

Most SEOs have a veritable plethora of tools but I still get asked often about simple ways to check the main social metrics for a page.
I've broken the need for quick checks of these data down into 3 categories and continuing my recent trend of throwing together tools for the SEO community to use I've put together 3 tools to help out in these instances.
Whilst creating my International SEO Backlink Analysis Tool, I wanted a way for people to use their SEOmoz API key in the same secure fashion as they would for their homebrew tools. That meant that their Secret Key shouldn't be transmitted over the wire, but instead only a signed hash. Here is a Javascript library I crafted for this purpose.
This post details how to setup and use Amazon's Mechanical Turk with the SERP Turkey tool. If you're not familiar with SERP Turkey, or want instructions on that tool then you should first read the SERP Turkey introduction.
Introducing SERP Turkey: A Free Tool to Split-Test and Gather CTR Analytics of SERP Entries (on SEOmoz)
Measuring CTR data in search engine results is notoriously difficult. What I wanted was a simple way to measure the change in CTR for a given search query's results when I adjusted entries, but nothing existed…. so I built the SERP Turkey tool.
What I'm sharing here is a tool I've built that automates the process of evaluating a domains link profile. I'm going to show you the real data I saw for that client (who we knew had bought links) and how you can use the same tool to identify domains that have maybe bought links or other anomalous link profiles.
HTML5 is not a tool but as a toolset; a collection of new features, of which many are ready to use now. Here I outline some common SEO problems and how you can use aspects of HTML5 right now to help with them.

Succession planning can be an exciting, satisfying process for owners of closely held businesses, but it also involves difficult issues that must be tackled head on. One of the major challenges that entrepreneurs encounter is determining the best way to pass on the business to their children or other heirs.
People can choose any number of methods of transferring ownership of a company, while simultaneously minimizing gift and estate taxes and probate costs. One vehicle that may be useful is the grantor retained annuity trust (GRAT).
A GRAT may be appropriate for owners who have a life expectancy of at least several years and wish to:
How does a GRAT work?
In this case, the business owner - known as the grantor, settlor, or trustor - would make a gift of company stock to the GRAT. A GRAT is an irrevocable trust, meaning it cannot be changed or revoked, and the trustee is given sole control of the trust.
Under provisions set forth in the trust agreement, the owner would receive an annuity from the trust for a certain number of years, known as the retention period. The annuity may be paid in a fixed dollar amount or as a specific percentage of the initial value of the trust's assets. If income from the GRAT each year is not enough to pay the annuity, trust principal must be used to make the payments. This ensures that the grantor receives a steady stream of income.
When the retention period ends, assets in the trust, including all appreciation, go to the beneficiaries. In some cases, a business owner may wish to retain the right to have the assets revert back to his or her estate in the event of the owner's premature death.
When the GRAT is initially funded, the Internal Revenue Service considers it to be a gift to the beneficiary. The value of the gift, however, is reduced by the so-called "actuarial value" of the annuity that the business owner retains. The actuarial value is determined by a number of factors, including an interest rate set monthly by the IRS, the age of the business owner when the trust is created, the number of years that the owner will receive the annuity, and whether the remainder beneficiaries are members of the owner's family.
If the business owner survives the GRAT's term, none of the assets in the trust will be subject to federal estate tax upon his or her death. In addition, the value of the remaining property for gift-tax purposes may be much less than its actual value.
It should be noted that valuing the stock of a privately held company for the purposes of establishing a GRAT is no simple matter. It is a complex process that requires expert advice.
If you own a business that you wish to pass on to your heirs, a GRAT is certainly worth taking a look at. But keep in mind that a GRAT is just one of any number of tools that can be used as part of a sophisticated estate planning process and you should give serious consideration to consulting with your estate, tax, and financial planning professionals.

Benghazi (Media) Coverup?
Mentioned this morning that my wife was watching Piers Morgan on CNN last night when she realized he didn't say a thing about yesterday's Benghazi testimony.
Piers opened with the Cleveland kidnapping case, went to the Jody Arias verdict and back to the Cleveland case again.
Sure these are big stories, but what about Benghazi? On second thought, is the Arias case that big of a story? It is made for TV, but check out today's State Newspaper. There isn't a single word about it! It sure did provide the cover that the MSM needed to ignore the Benghazi story.
CLICK to see how the media did, or in this case did not cover yesterday's Benghazi hearings.

Feeding Ecology of Guerezas in the Kakamega Forest, Kenya: The Importance of Moraceae Fruit in Their Diet
- Cite this article as:
- Fashing, P.J. International Journal of Primatology (2001) 22: 579. doi:10.1023/A:1010737601922
Eastern black-and-white colobus (Colobus guereza), or guerezas, have long been considered to be one of the most folivorous primates. I conducted a study of the feeding ecology of two guereza groups (T and O) over an annual cycle in the Kakamega Forest of western Kenya. I found that the annual diets of both groups comprised mostly of leaves (T: 48%, O: 57%) though fruit (T: 44%, O: 33%) also accounted for a substantial portion of the diet. In the six months when fruit was most abundant, fruit consumption constituted an average of 58% of T-group's monthly diet and 42% of O-group's monthly diet. In contrast to most previous studies of colobines, in which seeds were the primary fruit item consumed, almost all of the fruit eaten by guerezas at Kakamega consisted of whole fruits. At least 72% of the whole fruits consumed by T-and O-groups were whole fruits from trees in the Moraceae family, which dominates the tree family biomass at Kakamega. Unlike at sites where guerezas consumed fruit primarily when young leaves were scarce, at Kakamega guerezas ate fruit in accordance with its availability and irrespective of the availability of young leaves. My findings demonstrate that guerezas are more dietarily flexible than was previously known, which may help to explain why the species can survive in such a wide variety of forested habitats across equatorial Africa.

Should have stopped in Alberta.. Cashier at 7-11 makes $15.00/hr.. We have to generally fly up Mexicans to take those jobs.. Serious!
Icelander, sorry to here about your crappy experience in Canada, BC especially. There's jerks and a..holes in every nook and cranny of this world.
My brother-in-law (not a car guy) went to Canadian Tire to have his brakes in his 85 Ford F150 checked. They told him everthing needed replaced because it was all rusty! Show me a cast iron caliper or brake drum that isn't rusty on the outside on an 15 yr. old daily driver Ford truck! They gave him an estimate of $400.00 for the rear brakes and $700.00 for the front.
He gave them the go ahead for the rear brakes, and bought the parts they reccommended for the fronts, figuring I'd give him a hand on them. No problem, even though we were up in Qualicum Bay in our trailers for the weekend. He started working on it before I got there. Got the left front wheel off, and was working on the right. When those jerks at Crappy Tire put the front wheels back on, they must have torqued the nuts down to 200 ft/lbs. I had a tire iron on it with a 6 ft. pipe. Just bent the iron. I'm sure they did it on purpose because he had told them he was going to do it himself. We ended up putting the other wheel back on to go to a service station to use an air wrench because there was 1 nut we could not get off. Broke a couple of wheel wrenchs on it. Still no luck. Ended up having to cut the sucker off. When I looked at the rotors and calipers, they were fine. Rusty on the non wearing parts yes, but almost no wear on the rotors, and no leakage showing on the calipers. He went back to CT, and actually got an apology with the refund on the parts that didn't need to be replaced. I'll never get work done there!
Car repair ripoffs are nothing new. When I was a line mechanic at our local Ford dealership I continually watched our two front end mechanics turn 80 to 120 hours a week flat rate. They specialized in Fords twin "I" beam axle on the trucks. Rarely did a Ford truck get on their lift that did not need a complete front end overhaul. These guys actually did the work, but billed each operation out like that was the only thing they were doing. R&R shocks 1.5 hours, R&R drag link 1.5 hours, R&R kingpins 4.5 hours, on and on. Later when I worked as a service writer at the same dealership I saw how difficult it was to explain to a customer how they could drop off their truck in the morning and pick it up about 4:00pm and have 10+ hours labor billed to it. If these thieves didn't flat rate 20+ hours a day they moped around like first graders. Meanwhile myself and several other line mechanics were busting out butts to make 40 to 60 hours a week. Nothing new at all when it comes to car repair I'm afraid.
What also has to be remembered, is that CT does not corporately own the locations, they are independantly owned and operated. There are no standards that apply uniformly to every location. So you will get dealers who don't give a sh1t about the shop, leave the hiring to some "service manager" they hire who has no auto experience, and give a budget so thin you could use it as window glass. So they hire bottom of the barrel, crooked techs because that is all they can get.
Another scenario is the dealer starts out gung-ho, hires good techs, then when they have been there for a time, and demonstrated their abilities and built a customer base because they are good and honest, then the dealer refuses to pay them accordingly, and the good techs leave. The shop gets a rep for not paying worth a crap, and then all they can get are the crappy, crooked techs.
Third scenario is rare, but you get a dealer who cares, hires the right managment people, and hands down a reasonable shop budget. Regular prformance reviews, and pay increases to the people who have demonstrated that they are an asset to the business. Thses are the stores that have a profitable shop, happy techs, and happy customers.
Canadian Tire
My last (in every sense of the word) experience with CTC was typical. About 5 years ago I had a wheel out of balance on my pickup - and I figured "anyone" can balance a wheel! "After all, what's the worst they can do?"
Well - I found out!
They balanced all 4 (Actually got that part right! No more shake)
Then, on the left front, they cross-threaded 2 studs and then drove them on with a rattle-wrench that must have been set at a zillion foot-pounds. Two weeks later when I got a flat, 75 miles from home, at night, in the rain, temps just above freezing...
Will I ever get ANYTHING fixed at CTC again? Yeah, right!
There are no canadian tires down here............. But yikes!
Shamefull stories..... Im so glad I fix my own
For people like you. Who don't have a clue, Canadian Tire
Wish i knew how to communicate the tune it's sung to.
Well my latest experience with them is a good one. Last year we bought a 96 Murano from a dealer in Manitoba. The car was a one owner from the US that the dealership had purchased at auction and brought into the country for sale up here. The dealer ship said that the car had passed the US to Canada inspections etc and was good to go. Because it was out of province we had to get it safetied here in Saskatchewan before we could plate it. I decided to take it to CT cause they also do the out of country inspections in our city and I wanted to take it somewhere familiar with the rules in case they found something. Sure enough they found a worn lower ball joint which should have failed the original US to Canada inspection. Canadian tire handled everything including calling the Manitoba dealer ship, explaining the situation, the dealership payed for the repairs and the inspection, we were on our way full safety certified at no cost,,,good job in this case CT.
Sounds like the same management that's running one of the largest parts store chains down here. Non-mechanical people running parts stores. It's said that any manager who likes girls gets pressured out. And that coming up the ranks from parts associate will never be promoted or work the same schedule twice if they are found to be normal. Same techniques as the OP mentioned... reschedule them on their first day off to work the next day and not call them.. Then fire them for not showing up......Heard it several times.
Can't afford a legal fund donation big enough to comment on who it is.. but some of you probably know. az
Of course, it's not JUST CTC that can screw things up BIG TIME There was another thread on here about Firestone service centers.
I have had bad experiences with others as well. Once upon a time, I was heading to the cabin at the lake, pulling the boat behind my '68 390 Mustang, and it occurred to me that I was due for an oil change. So, idiot that I am, I stopped at a gas station (I SAID it was a long time ago!) and got them to do it. Long story short, when I slowed down to make the turn up the road to the cabin, I could hear my lifters clattering. Pulled over - NOTHING on the dipstick! They had stripped the pan drain bolt and oil was dripping out.
I happen to be a technician at a Canadian Tire, and I have to say the generalization that we are all crooks is a little insulting. I have never cheated anyone in my life, and I take pride in my work. Not all CT techs are rip off artists, just as not all techs at any auto service are crooks.
got that right good guy at canadian
i worked cross usa at a few VW dealers in the 60's then in 68 started my own shop but over all the VW dealers had good tech's i only new of one tech that riped some off but i had shop's in three states an did see some bad work come out of a few but alot tryed hard to do good work
so guy's heres ya a good one=====Always try to be the best, but don't ever think you are the best. ====we all mess up at times
At any rate the guys/service at CT was top notch, the great thing was they handled the entire process including calling the dealership and arranging them to pay for the sask safety as well the repairs, what more can I say, hats off.
When I worked flat rate you learn to cover your but. When I did my stint at CT I was doing a front end on a early 70's Dodge and didn't sell control arm bushings and eccentrics. when i couldn't get them to budge the customer got to pay for the bushings and I got to install them for nothing. Comebacks are also on your own dime... There was a push to sell labor for sure at the time, when we sold brake jobs we rebuilt the calipers and wheel cylinders... The Dodge dealership was the worst I have ever witnessed and looking at all their new buildings are doing very well!

Has Tesla Motors Made It To the Big Time?
Electric car maker Tesla Motors is turning a profit. Sales of the Model S are up to 8.4 percent of the U.S. luxury car market, beating out offerings from Audi, BMW and Mercedes. So, is Tesla a real force in the auto world?
The Takeaway asked car industry expert Paul Eisenstein of The Detroit Bureau. "It's quick, it's sexy and if you pay as much as $100,000 you can get as much as a 300 mile battery," he said. But it's still got a long way to go in the broader car market.
"If you look at things in terms of the nascent electric vehicle market, Tesla is clearly, clearly either the benchmark, or right up there setting the benchmark along with the Nissan Leaf, which is doing really well," Eisenstein said.
He explains how Nissan shifted up strategies to increase sales 200 percent over last year, and how Tesla pulled out a surprise profit when the market expected a loss with a suite of luxury features and a brand image that stresses quality, more than carbon cutting.
The two cars, both catching on, are a study in contrasts of how to sell an electric car in a gas powered world.

Attn George Will: MLB Players Association says AZ law "could have a negative impact on hundreds" of players
Blog ››› ››› ERIC HANANOKI
Earlier this week, George F. Will wrote a screed in favor of Arizona's new immigration law, arguing:
Non-Hispanic Arizonans of all sorts live congenially with all sorts of persons of Hispanic descent. These include some whose ancestors got to Arizona before statehood -- some even before it was a territory. They were in America before most Americans' ancestors arrived. Arizonans should not be judged disdainfully and from a distance by people whose closest contacts with Hispanics are with fine men and women who trim their lawns and put plates in front of them at restaurants, not with illegal immigrants passing through their back yards at 3 a.m.
If legitimate concerns about racial profiling aren't enough for Will, maybe this one is: The executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association released a statement condemning the new law, stating that it "could have a negative impact on hundreds of Major League players who are citizens of countries other than the United States." [h/t Atrios]
Will is a well-known baseball fanatic -- so much so that he was parodied by Dana Carvey in a Saturday Night Live sketch. Will's Post columns contain countless baseball references, and he's authored two books on the sport:

Qjet Choke
Check with a volt meter for 12 volts between the electrical contact on the choke housing and ground If 12 volts present, Choke heater is toast. If no 12 volt find out the reason.

Here is a problem I am having:
A month or so ago I bought a Quadrajet off craigslist for about 30 bucks. Its a spreadbore that came off a late 80's pickup. I mated it to my 68 307 after finding the right gaskets.
The problem I have with it is that the choke doesn't want to disengage after it's warmed up. When I start the car, I hit the gas once, turn it over, and it starts and idles fine. I take off and drive it. By the time I get to work, the car is actually idling higher than it was upon the initial start. The little choke elephant ear is all the way up. I can manually push it down, thus opening the choke, but the second you move the throttle, the choke is re-engaged. No amount of throttle blipping brings it down on it's own.
Not really sure what to do here. For the time being, I've removed the electric choke spring assembly and it idles fine, other than being more difficult to start in the AM and after work. It does not re-engage the choke when you blip the throttle with the coiled spring out. Incidentally, off-idle response is much better, having gotten rid of the slight bog.
Any thoughts as to why pressing the throttle after the car is warm closes the choke rather than opens it?
I've done some searching, and found similar issues, but not quite sure I've find my solution.

The two teams split last season's four-game series as Tristan Thompson averaged a near double-double with 14.0 points on .658 shooting, 9.0 rebounds and 2.3 blocks in 25.6 minutes per game. Kyrie Irving appeared in three of the four contests against the Nets in 2011-12 and averaged 23.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.3 assists in 30.3 minutes for the Cavs.
Key to the Game/Key Matchup
Key to the GameFinish Strong
The Wine and Gold are one of the NBA's best in the first three minutes of the game as evident in their last two games against the Suns and Thunder where they jumped out to early leads. However, the Cavaliers have had troubles sustaining their leads and finishing the game strong.
Not only will finishing the game be important, but closing out the road trip with a win would go a long way for the young Cavs as they will have three days to prepare for their next game against the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday, November 17th at Quicken Loans Arena.
Key Matchup
The Big Men Battle
As mentioned, both the Cavaliers and Nets are among the league leaders in rebounding and the battle in the paint will be a key factor in tonight's contest.
The Wine and Gold are led by the one-two punch of Tristan Thompson and Anderson Varejao. This season, Anderson Varejao is averaging career highs of 12.7 points on .552 (32-58) shooting, 13.0 rebounds (2nd in NBA), 3.5 assists and 1.3 steals in 34.5 minutes per game. His 4.0 offensive rebounds per game are tied for ninth in the league. In his rookie season, Thompson had arguably his two best games against the Nets on the road averaging 22.0 points and 13.5 rebounds.
The Nets counter with Kris Humphries and Brook Lopez. Humphries is averaging 11.0 points and 13.3 rebounds over his last three games, and currently ranks 14th in the NBA with 9.8 rebounds per game. Lopez is a force down-low, and comes into the matchup averaging 16.4 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game.

The dimensions are based on measurements taken directly from the original ROTJ chestbox
So,in the ROTJ V2 there will be:
- Main box with a more accurate side curvature
- Up rods pieces, with the accurate dettails (dx different from sx)
- Accurate down rods pieces
- New small switches
- New rocker switches

Nothing special, on unix-like systems as OS X a "binary executable file"
can have any file extension you want (or none, which is actually the
standard convention). To give a binary executable the extension .exe is
perfectly valid, although somewhat unusual. I think WRI did choose that
extension to keep things as uniform across platforms as possible, it
doesn't mean these executables have anything to do with Windows. I
haven't tried, but I'm sure you can check that they are normal
executables for your OS.
The interesting thing to note is that many import and export functions
are actually implemented as external executables running in extra
processes, presumably connected by Mathlink. That has been the case for
many versions. In newer versions, some of the export-functions are
implemented or have been changed to Java, though. And some might be
implemented "natively", so you won't see such extra processes for all
available formats. What's not so clear is why the rendering of 3D
graphics would cause the PDF import/export process to be started...

Two Thunderbirds Named To Rice Award Watch List
By SUU Strategic Communication
Related Links
CEDAR CITY, Utah, Oct. 3 - A pair of Southern Utah football players have been named to this year's Jerry Rice Award Watch List, The Sports Network announced today. True freshman Zak Browning and redshirt freshman Miles Killebrew made the watch list for the award which honors the top freshman at the NCAA Division I FCS level in the nation.
"I'm really happy for both Zak and Miles," SUU Coach Ed Lamb said. "Both young men have improved every week. They represent the future of SUU football."
Browning, a middle linebacker from Vancouver-area Camas, Wash. (Union HS), leads the Thunderbird defense with 45 tackles - including 26 solo stops - this season. He also has 1.5 tackles for loss, including a sack, has forced three fumbles and has broken up two passes in the four games. Last week he had a team-high 15 tackles against Montana State to lead the team and tie the second-highest tackles total by a freshman in SUU's NCAA Division I history. This season he has been among the team's top-five tacklers in four games, with the only miss the New Mexico Highlands game, which he sat out because of a minor injury.
Killebrew, a strong safety from Henderson, Nev. (Foothill HS) ranks second on the team with 43 tackles, 25 solo. He has been in on one tackle for loss, has broken up a pair of passes and has recovered one fumble, which he returned 49 yards for a touchdown against New Mexico Highlands. It is the sixth-longest fumble return in SUU history. He has been the team's leading tackler twice, at Cal and at Portland State. At PSU he had 15 tackles, the second-highest tackles total by a freshman in SUU's Division I era and the most since a 22-tackle effort by Steve Smith at Arkansas State in 2002. For his efforts at PSU, Killebrew was named national co-Player of the Week by The Sports Network.
Browning and Killebrew give SUU a player on the Rice Award Watch List for two straight seasons, as wide receiver Brady Measom earned the distinction last year, becoming the first Thunderbird to be so honored.

Hey guys,
We've finally released some improvements to the beta uploading process that were a long time coming.
As a part of that, we have added the new style progress uploads to the item editing page, which should be especially useful for the VideoHive authors (who have been struggling to update their files for quite a while)
Think of it as a little birthday present from the dev team. Thank Stu for the pretty graphics and ajaxy goodness (I wrote the first version myself and made it abundantly clear that I shouldn't be let anywhere near front end code)
love the truck! lol+1, it's awesome!
That is awesome addition. Good work guys..
The remove buttons don't seem to work for me? I'm using Firefox 3.5, I tried using IE 8 and it just hung trying to load the already uploaded items.
In addition, when I try to submit, I get this:
Er… Hi! How's it going?
Something happened that (probably) shouldn't have. But do not despair, we've been sent an email with all the details, and likely we'll be fixing it shortly!
If this problem, in particular, is causing you undue stress, migraines or nausea, please drop us a line and let us know.Cheers! The ThemeForest Team.
It seems to be only happening when editing items, when using the 'new upload beta' for uploading new items, everything seems to work fine including the remove buttons.
New interactive upload, Thanks.
Yeah for editing uploads it's completely broken – another topic I started a few hours ago goes into detail:
Support have been notified but no reply yet. Also tried in Firefox and Safari on Mac OSX and IE8 and Firefox on Windows XP – can't remove items and finally hitting submit for review results in generic error message saying that support have been informed.
Sorry devs but ya broke it
i got 3 files today to upload and the new upload doesnt work. Have sent also error report message to support. When the upload progress is finished, i cant find the items i uploaded in the drop down menus to add them…they doesnt appear there and this makes the upload impossible. I try in FF and EI8 , but no chance.
Used the old upload process…it works.
@thomas07 – can't use the old upload when editing files already for sale – we have no choice but to wait until it is fixed.
yeah you maybe right about editing existing items, the error i was pointing to is when uploading new items…the items doesnt appear in the dropdowns to add them…we'll wait

Is P. Diddy Banging Kate Upton?
Hold the phone, stop the presses, let your kids starve to death. A rich 40 something year old rap mogul could quite possibly be banging a 20 something year old supermodel? Get out of town? You mean to tell me a dude responsible for one of the greatest hip hop artists of all time still has the clout to score a hot bouncy (literally) model chick? Stop it now!
So the kid who asked Kate to prom isn't in charge of making Kate 'oodle over his noodle' late at night? What gives?
This chick is killing it in the press, on the net, and everywhere in between. Of course Diddy is the next step- You think Verlander has loot like that? Not a chance. You think that prom kid has cash to make Kate scream? No way!
Of course, Kate is denying it like crazy but come-on, it has to be true- the internet says so
Really??? Not at all true.."@thecut: .@kateupton and @iamdiddy seen sucking face and dining out!"

Diddy is most likely showing Kate why he's a 'bad boy for life' as you read this, right now 😉

I'm sure LEO could secure your weapon should you need transport. But I could be wrong.
This is a discussion on Auto accident scenario within the Carry & Defensive Scenarios forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; OK so I thought today while driving..... What would I do if I was in a non-life threatening auto accident and needed to be checked ...
OK so I thought today while driving.....
What would I do if I was in a non-life threatening auto accident and needed to be checked by EMS on scene? Or even worse transported to ER?
I am always carrying when driving, so how would you go about staying concealed, but allowing EMTs/1st Responders to check you out?
What about being transported to ER? In SC you cannot carry into any medical facility. SO now what???? Technically the ambulance is a facility.
Locally, I can ask any of the LEO to take possession for me until everything is checked out, but what about out of area?
ETA: Ok let's say you end up with a broken leg, and have to go....... what do you do with your weapon? You can't leave it in the car, it's being towed. Legally, you can't take it to the ambulance or hospital, and you really are going to have to ride in the ambulance.
I know the other alternative is to refuse medical treatment at the scene, but then there will be other questions to deal with.

"You may know where you are. God may know where you are. If you don't tell your dispatcher where you are, you'd better be on speaking terms with God!"
I'm sure LEO could secure your weapon should you need transport. But I could be wrong.
According to SC 23-31-215 which lists hospitals and the like as being prohibited:If you are in an accident and dazed and confused, this may apply. But I ain't no lawyer.A person who wilfully violates a provision of this subsection is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, must be fined not less than one thousand dollars or imprisoned not more than one year, or both, at the discretion of the court and have his permit revoked for five years.
I asked this question once. I think Ron said that if you are in an accident EMT's would notify the officer of the gun. The officer would take the gun and return it on a later date.
Think twice
Buy once!
EMT's can have dispatch send out a LEO if one is not present to take possession/secure your pistol for you.
"In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock." Thomas Jefferson

I personally wouldn't worry about the EMT's or anyone sent to help me after several minutes after the accident. I'd be more worried whoever hit me, or whomever I accidentally hit was going to fly into one of those road rage tantrums, and try to finish me off! That scenario is getting more realistic every day.
If in an accident and armed, I'm not going to worry at all about my weapon. If conscious, I'll inform them (?) and let them worry about it...uncounscious, they'll find it, and again, I'll let them worry about it.
I'm not worried about being arrested because I had a legal weapon when I was in an accident...it'll work itself out. OMO

I've had 2 CCW'ers in my ambulance. One had the Trooper on the scene secure his gun until his wife showed up on scene.
The other one we let him keep the gun and had the local LEO's meet us at the ER and let them secure it.
Also, at least in my state, ambulances are not classified as a medical facility nor are there any state laws prohibiting carrying a firearm in an ambulance under the state EMS act.
I've also dealt with tons of illegal weapons on patients... Just the two card carrying good guys so far.
Semper Fi
"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
Yup, LEO will secure it or hospital security will.
I've dealt with it at work, both with other people and have been the gun toter being transported... its really no big deal.
"Just blame Sixto"
I reserve the right to make fun, point and laugh etc.
If I responded to an MVA and there was a CCW'er on scene and he informed me that he had a weapon, I would either arrange for his spouse to come and pick it up on-scene or at the hospital or have an LEO come pick it up on-scene or at the hospital. As long as your not someone I picked up from LE custody, I wont worry too much about you being armed.
Any hospital ER has a policy to secrure weapons, this is basically a non issue. Things happen that is life! Cause what happens should be unrepsonsive? See...like I said a non-issue. There are safes in our ER, and we just have security secure the weapon.
On a side note, our SWAT medic is trained to disarm us if we are seriously injured on the job. That is his first priority and the reason is to make the scene safe, which is the first step of first aid. The thought behind this is that we have most likely been in a fight and if you go in and out of consciousness you might come to and start fighting again.
I know this doesn't necessarily apply to a vehicle accident, but it is important to note that you might not be in a good state of mind to be carrying a weapon at that point. Another problem could arise if an EMT or a cop is attempting to take your weapon and you suddenly regain consciousness. I could see how somebody could not be aware of who was disarming them and go into a weapon retention and attack mode. Also you might not have been injured in an auto accident. You might have gotten injured in a fight.
You might be better off giving up the weapon once help has arrived if you think their is a possibility that you might lose consciousness or you have already been unconscious prior to their arrival. I'm just thinking out loud here.
After a motorcycle accident at 5 AM on the way to work a few years back the EMS secured our guns on the way to the hospital. The hospital put them in a property bag with our other belongings. The LEO that showed up four hours after the accident did not know we had them until we left. Good thing because he was a complete idiot and probably would have freaked out. As it was upon seeing our leathers etc he concluded we were a pair of 1%ers out partying. As I lay on a gurney with oxygen tubes up my nose IV's every where and a catheter awaiting emergency surgery he had a blood test taken. Than cited me for DUI because I had pain killers in my system. Duhh ya think I had stopped a 700 pound motorcycle with my face, cost us a fortune. Anyway I would not sweat it. If you are able let the EMS or LEO know and you should be good to go. If LEO are on the scene they will probably be a bit brighter than ours was
Abort the Obamanation not the Constitution
Those who would, deny, require permit, license, certification, or authorization for me to bear arms are as vile, dangerous & evil as those who would molest, abuse, assault, rape or murder my family
Having been in two accidents where I needed to inform others where I wanted to go. I would NOW include that I was/had been in the vehicle, armed. NOW being that I was not armed before but am now.
It's a mantra,
I'm ???, i want to go to ???, I was armed it was a ?????. Inform ????. repeat.

Identifying the values at your core
Can often seems like quite a chore
But it's not the words that most matter
Without action, they are just chatter
Driving behavior is what they are for
It's not unusual to see eyes roll when talk turns to mission or core values during a strategy retreat or staff workshop. Unfortunately, in many organizations, conversation around core values is primarily associated with painful wordsmithing.
In the seminal work Built to Last, co-authors Jim Collins and Jerry Porras assert that 80-90% of a leader's time should be focused on ensuring alignment between core ideology (mission or purpose and values) and the envisioned future. If what you stand for and why you exist isn't understood and embodied in the thinking and actions of every individual throughout your organization, much of the activity that occurs each day will lack the appropriate level of intention, meaning, and impact.
To ensure the integrity of the experience they offer their customers and stakeholders, smart organizations craft brief narratives that expand on the values selected. They should be prescriptive enough to bring a value to life, yet open to enough interpretation so that individuals can own them authentically.
Here's a sample core values statement from my last consulting practice (like minded people) where I was a co-founder, the alignment mechanisms for one of the values, and some tips on crafting your own core values statement. And check out the June 2011 issue of Inc. magazine for some great examples of how small businesses put their core values into action. Finally, here is an earlier post about core values.

Tarantino Sues Gawker. Are Journalists Responsible for Content They Link to?By
Can news organizations be held legally responsible for linking to illegal material on the Web? Quentin Tarantino may provide the answer.
On Monday morning, the movie director filed suit against Gawker Media for linking to various file-sharing websites that had published a leaked copy of a Tarantino screenplay for an ensemble Western entitled The Hateful Eight.
"Gawker Media … expressly refused to remove their directions to and URL links to get the infringing materials," reads Tarantino's complaint (PDF). "Gawker Media knowingly and actively acted as a promoter of copyright pirates, and, itself, did directly cause, contribute to, enable and facilitate copyright infringement."
On Monday evening, Gawker posted a response disputing the lawsuit's allegations. Editor John Cook pointed out that Gawker Media's site Defamer had not leaked the material but had merely reported that the script had surfaced elsewhere on-line and directed readers to sites on which it had been posted.
Cook went on to note that the lawsuit did not accuse Gawker Media of direct copyright infringement but rather made allegations of "contributory infringement," a legal tactic traditionally deployed against file-sharing sites, not news organizations:
Gawker and Defamer are news sites, and our publication of the link was clearly connected to our goal of informing readers about things they care about. As far as I can tell (but I'm no lawyer!), no claim of contributory infringement has prevailed in the U.S. over a news story. We'll be fighting this one.
Sure enough, the question of how contributory infringement might apply to news organizations appears to be largely unsettled, according to the Los Angeles Times:
[R]eporters often assume that providing links to items of public interest is perfectly aboveboard, even if the items themselves aren't. If this case goes to trial, it could help clarify what links simply can't be published legally, regardless of the news value.
The lawyers I consulted, including the Times' Jeff Glasser, couldn't think of any cases in which a news site had been sued for publishing a link to infringing content someone else had posted. But attorney Michael Page, a copyright expert at Durie Tangri in San Francisco, said providing such a link could nevertheless amount to "contributory" infringement, particularly when the news site had been told the material was infringing and yet refused to delete it.
Gawker Media has a track record of successfully fighting in court against allegations of direct copyright infringement. (See Hogan, Hulk). This time around, it appears the company will be battling on new ground.

Excerpt from our Wall Street Breakfast, a one-page summary of this morning's key market-moving and stock-moving stories:
On a Roller Coaster, One Energy Firm Tries Hedging Bets [Wall Street Journal]
Summary: Chesapeake Energy is on a roll. So far in 2006, it has made $2.53 billion worth of gas sales and a profit of $1.53 billion. The secret of CHK's success? The financial hedge. Chesapeake sells gas futures contracts as a way of protecting its revenue stream from the volatility of the energy market, in general, and the natural gas market in particular. Chesapeake reaped $833 million from its gas hedging operations during the first 9 months of this year. The gas futures contract obligates the company to sell its natural gas product at a specific price or within a certain price range. So far, these bets have paid off for them. The hedging strategy has helped Aubrey McClendon, the company's CEO, pull the company out of the red since 1999, when the company had big losses due large investments in Louisiana gas wells that turned out to be duds. Since then, CHK stock has quadrupled in price. Other energy companies are not convinced of the hedging strategy- they find it too risky due to the many unpredictable influences on markets. Flush with cash, Chesapeake has been on the prowl, looking to acquire both smaller gas producers and more acreage of potential gas wells. Last year, Chesapeake acquired Columbia Natural Resources LLC, an energy firm based in Appalachia, for $2.2 billion. Last month it bought Dale Resources for $200 million. Analysts are cautious about highly acquisitive energy firms. If a company make the wrong bets, such firms could be left with worthless gas fields and debt, as had happened to Chesapeake in Louisiana.

Hello again to all, I just wanted to share some more pictures of my project. I have taken a break from working on my MOW ESB version jetpack, and focus on the guantlets. Some of you might be on the fence about spending the money on these particular guantlets, so I'm sharing my experience with this thread. I am extremely satisfied with the turnout so far.

The Flame Unit is both metal and plastic, very strong and sturdy. There is sanding and drilling involved, but nothing too complex, just make sure you use a ruler for measurements. Dont "eye-ball" anything, take your time. Now back to some more pics.......
