Dunkin' Donuts Marine base marks California return
By Lisa Baertlein
(Reuters) - Dunkin' Donuts is back in California after a decade-long absence, with a new cafe at a U.S. Marine base near San Diego, but the general public will have to wait.
The reception has been warm at Camp Pendleton, one of 26 military bases in the Dunkin' Brands Inc unit's network as it targets such outposts, which have relatively few dining options.
"I tried to go on opening day but the line was too long," Staff Sgt. Luis Agostini, a New Yorker who counts Dunkin' Donuts among his favorite coffee chains, told Reuters on Thursday.
He hasn't yet visited the shop since it opened last week, but said he was waiting on a colleague who had been dispatched to pick up coffee and doughnuts.
Access to the cafe is limited to individuals who are allowed on base - including active and retired military members and their families, civilian personnel and approved visitors.
Some 100,000 people are on base during peak hours, a Marine spokesman said.
Other companies already operating on the grounds of Camp Pendleton include Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, McDonald's Corp, Subway, Domino's Pizza Inc and Yum Brands Inc's Taco Bell and Pizza Hut chains.
Starbucks Corp is not there - at least not yet. But its presence in military bases could grow more quickly with the recent appointment of former U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates to the Seattle-based company's board of directors. Continued...

Thousands Of Users Play Pokemon As A Chaotic Collective
Twitch Plays Pokemon is a social experiment in collective gaming, where unknown players do their best to complete the game.
The concept of having multiple players working together in a single game isn't a new one; for years, game developers have created games with co-opt modes, player versus player combat, and multiplayer parties. What would happen if instead of four players, there were hundreds of them, all controlling one character? That is the question that Twitch Plays Pokemon attempts to answer.
Hosted on the videogame streaming site Twitch, Twitch Plays Pokemon uses a program created by an anonymous Australian programmer that allows users to input commands such as A, B, Up, Down, Left, Right, or Start in the stream's chat. From there, a specially designed program inputs commands into the game, which can often lead to the main character spinning around in circles. Players in the first run through of the game, playing the original Red version, also allowed players to input "Anarchy" or "Democracy" to control how commands were recognized by the computer, depending on their frequency in the chat. Anarchy meant that all commands were valid and recognized while Democracy meant that only the most popular command inputted every 30 seconds would be used.
In this latest game, users are now traversing through Pokemon Crystal, one of the second generation games. At the time of writing, the game has been on for just under two days but players have already defeated the third gym leader, setting a much better pace than the first game, which took over 17 days to complete in its entirety. Though with over 40 million views and anywhere from 10 to 100,000 viewers watching the game at any given moment, getting from place to place can be difficult, especially when people come in to intentionally introduce chaos into the game.
The social experiment of sorts has inspired memes about specific events, Pokemon, and characters in the game and battles between people desperately trying to continue with the game and those trying to interfere with it. While there are still a few glitches, like when the game randomly goes offline or selective command reading, the result is one game watched by the millions pulling the strings. Even though Twitch Plays Pokemon is one of the first of its kind, it's popularity all but assures that it won't be the last. If anything can be learned by this, it is only that when thousands of users put their mind to it, any dream can be achieved, even if that dream is just evolving Totodile into Croconaw.

A Truly New Spinner For Anglers
by Carmen Macdonald
As always, great write up. Are the blades themselves available for those who like to twist their own spinner?
Would love to have those blades available on trout/kokanee sizes.
Smoke and mirrors IMHO. "Hot new lures" catch more fisherman than fish. It's speed and reading the currents, can't buy that!
Neutron- not at this time, just the full spinners. Sailor- not sure where you're seeing smoke and mirrors. The Hydro Vibe is a different blade shape, just like a French blade is different than a Bear Valley is different than an Indiana is different than a Cascade. All have different characteristics and excel under different applications. I've run these blades and they've been very good to me- I'll stand by that.
I haven't seen much released about this as far as text is concerned. I think the flash and hootchie are a bit much. Maybe one or the other but not both, I like the blade idea. It's similar to the Thumper in regards to tip action? If so, that's a good thing when spinner fishing especially Tilly! Thanks Carmen!
I believe in science. I believe I will take two. Thank you.
Used these for Chninook on the Nushagak. The fish were impressed.
I believe in Science, Hootchie Spinners and Carmen's on the water observations with the LJ development team. Where are they!
Maybe a blade with a slightly different vibration will attract a hit from a fish that has passed up others -- or maybe the other way around. We all want to hook more fish and are always ready to try a new size, shape, or color combination - it's at least good for the tackle manufacturers $$$$!!!! Frankly, I think technique and perseverance are more important than what lure you use. The key to using new or different lures is that if you believe in them, you will fish with more intensity and thus catch more fish.
We spent Sept 15 to 17 fishing out of Warrenton, Oregon on the Columbia River. Did really well for Coho. Lost a lot of them and released some nice native Coho. We fished anchovies and spinners. When they stopped biting Anchovy we switched to spinners. I started out using size 6 and 6 1/2 spinners. Have done great years past. Well nothing on spinners the first day. Ran into Buzz Ramsey at the Warrenton Fred Meyer's. He told me to drop down to a 5 1/2. Of course Fred's only had standard size spinners. Found a GDF Buoy 10 spinner Red and White in my box. Then bought a couple small spinners at Tackle Time. Cody Herman has told me to use green flasher with bait and red with spinners. Great advice it made the difference. We went back out Tuesday Sept 16 same green flasher Anchovy harness with fresh Anchovy. The white small Fatal Flash spinner was out fishing the GDF. Wednesday it clouded up and started to rain. We headed in with two fish. Put on our two spinner setups. Mine was KoneZone red and chrome on red plastic with the GDF B10 red and white spinner. We got into a group of Coho that kept hitting just my GDF spinner and not the other one. We limited by hooking eight Coho and landing our four needed for two 3 fish limits. The size and color did matter and sunny versus cloudy made a difference. Why I have no idea but it was awesome action with very aggressive takes. I do believe a lot of lures on the market are targeting anglers but also good companies do a lot of research and development to perfect their lures. May work great in one situation and not another. Presentation, Speed of troll or retrieve do make a difference. We caught one of our Coho on a spinner while speeded up trying to make a fast move to another slot. Couldn't believe the Coho would take that spinner doing around 4 mph.

help! supernavi installed and huge problem!!
ok guys, if someone could help me, i would really appreciate it a great deal
Here is the problem.
I have a 2007 esky.i swapped out the navi/headunit(old version with dvd maps and no ipod connection) for the super navi,from i think a 2012 or 2013
The radio works fine,maps work,ipod works.The problem is my car battery is now dying every time my car sits for long periods of time..Anything like over 2 hours and i need to jump it
I never had a problem with my start ups before i had this radio installed.Battery is good and it started instantly..next day after system was installed
bestbuy did the install for me.
what could it be?
they said it most likely cant be the install because it so basic
also the place i purchased the radio off of on ebay, programmed the radio? could they have programed wrong and its affecting the shut off internal?
or just a defective radio? but everything works fine when in use
anyone can help, much appreciated.
Re: help! supernavi installed and huge problem!!
If I were you I would take it to a different Best Buy and have them look at it.

Re: help! supernavi installed and huge problem!!
I presume the install was plug and play, no wire splicing required. If that's the case would almost have to be something internal to the radio or the programming. If they did have to splice wires, most likely they hooked something up to constant 12V rather than switched. Either way, I'd have someone else look at it to rule things out.

Re: help! supernavi installed and huge problem!!
If you have the stock Delco battery replace it, I would look at the battery, they probably disconnected it, I would make sure your hvac system and audio system are off, and disconnect and check the connections and make sure they are clean and tight and the cables are good.

And now, at long last, it's time to find out if the LG's 42in Scarlet TV's beauty is more than skin deep.
And, actually you know, it just about is. For starters, as I'd hoped the addition of 100Hz processing certainly does boost the screen's handling of motion. The really quite serious resolution loss over motion seen recently on LG's 5000 models is hugely reduced. In fact, with the TruMotion system set to high, it almost disappears completely. What's more, as well as looking sharper, moving objects also progress across the screen more fluidly - an especially noticeable effect when you're watching films.
Also good on the 42LG6000 is its black level response. Most 'normal' kinds of image enjoy dark sections that look really punchy and deep, and provide a great counterpoint to the images' bright and colourful bits. Liberty City's stunning lighting variations in the Xbox 360's Grand Theft Auto IV frequently look dazzling as a result. Also, the startling contrasts between the deliberately grey palette and vivid reds of all Todd's copious bloodletting in the recently released Blu-ray transfer of Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd, couldn't be more dramatic.
Obviously good black levels are only half of this image dynamism story, though. For in typical LG style the 42LG6000 pumps out seriously vibrant colour tones right across the spectrum. However, unlike some previous LG LCDs, here that taste for vibrancy doesn't lead to colour tones looking forced or unnatural. In fact the skin tones on display during the Champions League Final in HD looked authentic enough to see how much paler John Terry looked after he missed that penalty…
A final strength of the 42LG6000 is that it does a really sound job of upscaling standard definition sources to its full HD native resolution, with far less of the off-key colour tones and exaggerated video noise that has characterised a few previous LG LCDs.
I would like to see power consumption in every review's spec page. Whether you're deep green or just watching the soaring elec bills, I would like to see how annual running costs compare.
It's one factor when deciding LCD or plasma. Both versions of this LG42 incher have good reviews. Might the price difference be negated by the 'watt' difference?

My Z4 Has Arrived! (with pics)
10 Attachment(s)
My Z4 with M Sport pkg finally arrived! Actually - it was pretty quick. Time between actual order and dealer pick up was just about 5 weeks. This is me coming from a Porsche Boxster ("Who Considered a Boxster, but got a Z4 Instead - thread)... and am not looking back!

I'm leasing this car for 36 months. $5K down, very decent discount along with (interesting) BMW incentives. Monthly pmt = $586 (before sales tax) Only have had it for one day and about 50 miles.... but this car is da bomb! As we all know, it is massively powerful with that smooth, linear acceleration, it is such a joy to drive. (say, isn't that what BMW said about it?) This is my 4th BMW, and my first Z4, but my 11th sports car. It's also my first sports car without a MT. I have no regrets about getting the DCT either! I can already tell it's gonna be the best one!
Oh - and that's my E91 lurking in the background. Nice combo - wagon and sports car.
I'm happy
P.S. that's Sammy (our loveable lab) in the 2nd to last pic... she's happy too!
WOW!! Beautiful car, congrats. I'm amazed at the 5 week wait time.
So, are you happy with the Melbourne?
[QUOTE=iwanna330cic;6831803]My Z4 with M Sport pkg finally arrived! Actually - it was pretty quick. Time between actual order and dealer pick up was just about 5 weeks. This is me coming from a Porsche Boxster ("Who Considered a Boxster, but got a Z4 Instead - thread)... and am not looking back!
Looking very nice!
I must say you are lucky to get it in 5 weeks. My ED order took 5 weeks (from ordering to picking up in Muchen), and I thought I had a good luck. Then, it took 5 weeks for shipping back to the US.
Love the car. I went back and forth between the Melbourne/Crimson, but ended up with the crimson. They are both great in my opinion. Good point on the "smooth" acceleration. I drove a friends 2002 Maserati last night, and it has loads of power/torque but I sure would not call it smooth and to be honest the ride was, well, pretty rough. Looking at yours makes we want to ignore the "to do" list and go driving. Love the pup also.:)
pretty car.
Very sharp. Melborn red was on my short list, but Debbie didn't want red again.
Glad to see you got the M-Sport and Premium sound. The one option I regret not getting was better audio.
Congratulations! It looks sharp. Enjoy.
Thanks for the compliment. The premium sound in this thing is just fabulous. Being a small cabin, and with surround sound speakers all over the place, I can adjust the balance and F-R settings (let alone the logic 7 and equalizer) to make this thing sound unlike any "stock" stereo I've ever had. :thumbup:
Looks nice!
Very nice! Have fun with it.

Only con was swelling lasted longer than expected--2 weeks to fully go down.
I did it because didn't like lines on chin & side of mouth. This little "Nip Tuck" was perfect for me. Would highly recommend it.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
DearCustomer- You made no mention of where your daughter is and whether or not she has visitation rights. If she has visitation then you certainly should be able to see the children during that time. If she is not in the picture then you would have to first be able to locate the children.
Once you locate them then you would have to make a motion with the court that issued the divorce, I assume in Monterey, and file a motion for visitation. The problem in all of this is that they are out of your jurisdiction and even if you can get a court order it may be difficult to enforce.
If you are concerned for their safety I would try to get a police department or children's services involved. Once again, you need to find them before you can do anything of substance.

State Updates
DHCD Announces Compact Neighborhoods Policy to Encourage Smart Growth Zoning
DHCD announced a new Compact Neighborhoods Policy, effective November 14, to encourage municipalities to zone for compact residential development. The policy is the result of a broader goal set by Governor Patrick for the Commonwealth to develop 10,000 new multi-family housing units annually.
Compact Neighborhoods will reward municipalities that have or create districts that allow as of right development at densities of at least 4 units per acre (in areas zoned single family) and at least 8 units per acre on land zoned for multifamily (2+ unit) housing. Districts must meet the same smart growth ("eligible location") standards required for Chapter 40R districts and permit a minimum level of new development (a number equal to at least one percent of the community's current year round stock). Municipalities with qualifying compact zoning will receive a preference for certain state discretionary funding and that zoning will be considered when a subsidizing agency reviews comprehensive permit site approval applications. The State will make Priority Development Fund grants available to help with planning costs. Interested municipalities must submit an application to DHCD to determine the eligibility of their zoning.
Massachusetts Building Permit Activity Up in 2012
According to the latest Census Bureau estimates, building permit activity in Massachusetts in 2012 (through October) is up 46% compared to the same period in 2011. An estimated 8,190 units have been permitted year-to-date, up by 2,598 from 2011 (5,592). Multifamily units more than doubled (from 1,600 to 3,338), with 66% of the increase in Boston and Cambridge and another 25% in Natick. Overall, units in multifamily properties made up 40% of the 2012 units permitted to date. Permits for 1-unit properties rose by 18% (from 3,375 to 4,413 units). The 8,190 units permitted year-to-date in 2012 is the highest number of units reported for that period since 2008 (when 8,393 units were permitted), though well below the 2007 and 2006 ten-month totals (12,352 and 16,894).
Massachusetts Home Sales Volume up in 2012, Home Prices Slightly Down
The Warren Group reported last week that Massachusetts single home sales in 2012 through October totaled 39,391, up 22% from the same period in 2011 (32,248), while condominium sales through October totaled 16,239, up 29% from the same period in 2011 (12,559). The year-to-date median sales price for single family homes was $287,500, down 2% from a year earlier ($293,000), while the year-to-date median condominium sales price was $275,000, up 0.7% from 2011 ($273,000).
Greater Boston Housing Report Card Released
The Boston Foundation released its 10th annual report on housing trends in Greater Boston on November 14. Written by members of the Dukakis Center for Urban and Regional Policy at Northeastern University, "The Greater Boston Housing Report Card 2012 A New New Paradigm for Housing in Greater Boston" estimates that the region will need to add 12,000 new units a year through 2020 to meet demand if current population trends continue and up to 19,000 units a year under a stronger growth scenario in which the number of younger residents grows. Turnover of existing family homes is expected to meet more of the demand for single family homes than in the past as 130,000 owners aged 55 or above downsize, leave the state or die.
The report predicts that 48-53% of the demand for new units will be for multifamily (2+ unit) properties. It expects more demand for smaller homes in transit-oriented locations, as older residents downsize and new, smaller households seek less expensive housing. To meet this demand, communities will have to become more accepting of multifamily housing than in the past. The report also recommends initiatives to address emerging needs, including land-banking mill properties, a state/private effort to reduce housing production costs, new student housing and anticipating the future service needs of seniors.
Deadline for Independent Foreclosure Review December 31, 2012
The Federal Reserve Bank and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency have initiated enforcement actions against a number of mortgage servicers based on deficiencies in the servicers' foreclosure review process. Regulators are encouraging borrowers who may have been financially harmed in the mortgage foreclosure process in 2009 or 2010 to request an independent review. The review would determine whether homeowners suffered financial injury and should receive compensation or other remedies because of errors during the home foreclosure process. After the review, servicers may be required to provide compensation. Affected borrowers could receive up to $125,000 plus equity.
While there are only a few weeks left before the deadline, the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston is still encouraging community groups, counselors, advocates, faith-based organizations and others to reach out to borrowers who may be eligible for this relief. Outreach materials can be obtained through the independent foreclosure review toolkit. The toolkit includes frequently asked questions, detailed information about the review process, and forms in multiple languages. For additional questions, please contact Ana Patricia Munoz of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston at firstname.lastname@example.com
CHAPA Hires New Director of Public Policy
CHAPA is pleased to welcome Rachel Heller as our new Director of Policy. Rachel is well known by members of both the Massachusetts housing and community development field and the Massachusetts legislature. Most recently, she served as the Director of Public Policy for the Alliance for Business Leadership. She has also served as Chief of Staff and Housing Policy Director for former State Senator Susan Tucker and worked as a Senior Policy Advocate at Homes for Families prior to her time at the State House. Rachel will begin on Monday, December 10, 2012 and can be reached at email@example.com
CHAPA Completes Successful Round of Massachusetts Regional Meetings
CHAPA would like to thank our hosts, partners and stakeholders who participated in eleven regional meetings in Boston, Salem, Newton, Lawrence, Springfield, Worcester, Hyannis, Fitchburg, Framingham, Brockton and Fall River over the past few months. Meeting participants identified a number of issues that continue to be priorities for them, including homelessness prevention, the rising gap between income and housing affordability, continued demand for permanent supportive housing, funding for the rehabilitation of our existing housing inventory and strengthening our public housing stock. Long term concerns include the lack of grassroots advocacy for more affordable housing, the challenges of housing an aging population within the next decade, and identifying more sources of financing for both ownership and rental housing.

Federal Updates
Advocates Mobilize to Prevent Deep Housing Cuts from Sequestration
The Budget Control Act enacted in 2011 requires Congress to implement a 10-year deficit reduction program through spending caps on discretionary programs worth $1.5 trillion and to take additional steps to reduce deficits by another $1.2 trillion. Absent an alternative strategy, the Act requires annual automatic cuts (sequestration) to discretionary programs beginning in January 2013, with the 2013 cuts applied across the board to all discretionary programs. It gives Congress discretion over how it distributes the future annual cuts through 2021. New estimates by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) detail the potential size of cuts to HUD programs in 2013, 2014 and 2021 under the caps, sequestration and under even deeper reductions proposed by Representative Paul Ryan.
In Massachusetts, sequestration would reduce the number of households with Housing Choice Vouchers (75,200 in 2012) by 6,300 in 2013 (as opposed to by 2,100 under the spending caps) and by another 1,200 in 2014 (for a total of 7,500), while the Ryan proposal would cut over 18,000. Sequestration would reduce HUD grants to Massachusetts for CDBG, HOME, public housing and homelessness by $26 million in 2013.
The National Low Income Housing Coalition is urging housing advocates to contact their members of Congress to avoid sequestration and adopt a deficit reduction approach that includes revenue increases as part of the solution. CBPP notes that passage of the Affordable Housing and Self-Sufficiency Act (AHSSIA) could contribute to this effort, saving $700 million a year in voucher program costs. (CHAPA will circulate a sign-on letter next week.)
Recent Research and Reports
Children in Federally-Assisted Housing More Likely to Live in Low-Performing School Districts
A new study sponsored by the Poverty and Race Research Action Council (PRRAC), "Do Federally assisted Households Have Access to High Performing Public Schools," has found that families with children who have federal housing assistance generally live nearer to low performing schools than other low income families with children, though the imbalance varied tremendously by state and MSA. Massachusetts scored particularly poorly on access to higher performing schools for federally assisted families.
To measure school quality, the study looked at the median score of state standardized tests for each elementary school and where it fell within the distribution of median scores statewide. It looked at four federal housing programs that assist about 2.86 million families with children: public housing (360,000), project-based Section 8 (about 400,000), Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) units (about 900,000) and Section 8 housing choice vouchers (about 1.2 million). Nationwide, it found that families with federal assistance lived near schools with median percentile rankings ranging from 19 to 31, depending on the program, lower than the median ranking for all families with children nationwide of all incomes (53), all renter families (37) and all poor families (30).
By federal program, the median percentile ranking of schools varied, from a high of 31 for LIHTC families (i.e. half attend schools with median scores at or below the 31st percentile of public schools in their state), to 28 for project-based Section 8, 19 for public housing and 26 for voucher holders. Assisted Black and Hispanic families had median percentile rankings of 20 and 25, compared to a median of 40 for white, non-Hispanic families.
In Massachusetts, the median percentile rankings ranged from 21 for voucher families (the same as for all poor families in Massachusetts), to 15 for public housing and project based Section 8 and 12 for LIHTC families. The Boston MA-NH MSA median school percentile rankings were even lower, ranging from 16 (78th lowest among 100 MSAs) for voucher holders, to 7 for public housing and 6 for project-based Section 8 and LIHTC families (the latter third worst in the nation).
Study Finds Massachusetts among States with Highest Levels of Income Inequality
The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities and the Economic Policy Institute issued a report this month that documents the "wide and growing" gap between the incomes of the richest and poorest households in most states. "Pulling Apart: A State by State Analysis of Income Trends" found that the average income of the top fifth of households was eight times that of the poorest fifth as of 2005-2007. Massachusetts had the 8th highest level of inequality among the 50 states in terms of the gap between the highest and lowest fifth in 2005-2007 and the second highest increase in inequality since the late 1970s.
Census Bureau Supplemental Poverty Measure Shows Higher Poverty Rate in Massachusetts
The Census Bureau released its 2011 Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM) estimates on November 14. The SPM was created in response to long-standing criticism of the current federal poverty measure which is based entirely on food costs. Unlike the official measure, the SPM considers variations in household composition, child care, health care and housing costs, the value of food stamps and housing assistance and the impact of taxes and tax credits. Using the SPM raised the 3-year (2009-2011) average poverty rate in Massachusetts to 13.7%, (rather than 11.0% under the official measure) and the national rate to 15.8% (vs. 15.0%). Overall, the SPM resulted in a higher poverty rate in 14 states (mainly due to housing costs), a lower rate in 26 states, and an unchanged rate in 10 states. Among the five other New England states, using the SPM raised the poverty rate in New Hampshire (10.4%) and Connecticut (12.0%), lowered it in Maine (10.9%) and Vermont (9.2%) and resulted in no significant change in Rhode Island (12.9%).

text: Emmerdale: Gennie Sharma is killed by Cameron Murray - episode review David Brown takes a look at tonight's tragic events that saw Cam up his body count to three victims Comments Written By David Brown 9:30 PM, 25 July 2013 Murderers in soaps should never tempt fate by saying lines like, "I don't want to hurt anyone anymore." Having already brought about the demise of two people in less than 12 months, Cameron's vow to make a fresh start with Debbie appeared naively optimistic. And sure enough, just 30 minutes later, there he was, crouched over a bloodied Gennie with his hand clamped over her nose and mouth. It was doubtful that Gennie was going to survive, having just plunged down a ravine in her car after being chased around hairpin bends by Debs and Cam. But Cameron does like to be belt-and-braces when it comes to killing people: Carl King not quite dead? Whack him with a brick! Gennie struggling for breath? Cut off her air supply! Unfortunately, this latest murder came after Cameron had made what passes in his world for a clean breast of things. This involved confessing to Debbie (while being secretly recorded on Dictaphone by Gennie) that he'd been the one to kill Carl last October. But notice that he said nothing about that Christmas Eve trip with Alex to the woods. You remember the one? It ended with a chorus of Silent Night on the soundtrack, a shovel and a hastily dug grave. Now Cameron has yet another secret to keep from Debbie, who was busy phoning for an ambulance as Gennie lay injured. But at least Debbie can rest assured that Cameron really does love her because, basically, he wouldn't dream of making her stand trial for murder like he did with Chas. Aw! Surely, it's whispered sweet nothings like this that every girl wants to hear? As for words of comfort for poor Gennie, there really wasn't much that Cameron could offer. "Is she gonna be all right?" yelled Debbie from the top of the ravine. "No, I don't think she is," rumbled Cameron, as Gennie breathlessly said her goodbyes to mum, daughter and Nikhil. They weren't there of course - in fact, just to ramp up the poignancy levels, Nikhil was back in the village staring at a wedding snap. But Gennie knew that with bones broken and a maniac for a paramedic, the future wasn't looking bright. When her murder was shown, it was genuinely chilling and a scene that felt like it was toying with the boundaries of its pre-watershed scheduling. All too often soap villains become pantomime turns who start bumping off characters of whom we've grown weary. But not so here. Cameron's tortured soul (and Dominic Power's permanently rheumy eyes) have fuelled plotlines for the best part of a year and what we've seen so far hasn't seemed overly convoluted. Of course, it could all change - by 2014 he might have become so blase that he'll be seen casually pulling pints while crushing someone's windpipe behind the bar with his foot. But, at the moment, Cameron's prodigious talent for homicide has us gripped. And having the much-loved Gennie be his latest victim is a masterstroke on the part of the writers: this was a woman who, after all, was recently seen emotionally shaving the head of her brain-tumour-battling mum. Gennie's relationship with Nikhil has also become a fan favourite – one measure of having made it in a soap being whether you get awarded an online nickname. So, 'Genhil' lovers, it's definitely going to be a dark night of the soul for you guys. But what tonight's Emmerdale proves, above all else, is that it's the quiet but far-reaching human moments that make for the best drama. Car crashes are a well-worn soap standby and even though this one was particularly visceral, it was the repercussions that resonated the most. Flipped vehicles offer an immediate shock, but a life expiring in lonely silence and in the worst possible circumstances is always going to pack the greater punch. Emmerdale continues tomorrow at 7pm on ITV Like this? Share it. Facebook Twitter Google Tumblr Pinterest Blogger Reddit VKontakt Print Email

Bryant, Haniger earn AFL honors10/15/2013 11:20 AM ET
By John Parker / MiLB.com
Mesa third baseman Kris Bryant (Cubs) and Surprise outfielder Mitch Haniger (Brewers) were named Arizona Fall League week one co-players of the week Tuesday. The two prospects shared the league RBI lead with seven during the first week of play.
The second overall pick in the 2013 Draft, Bryant batted .336/.390/.688 with nine homers and 32 RBIs in 36 games at three levels during the regular season. The University of San Diego product arrived at Class A Advanced Daytona in mid-August and helped the Cubs to the Florida State League title, going 7-for-20 (.350) with four RBIs in six playoff games.
Bryant picked up right where he left off as Arizona Fall League play began. The 21-year-old went 3-for-6 with a double and two RBIs in his debut at Glendale on Tuesday and added a homer, a single and at least two RBIs in each of his next two games. His Solar Sox club is undefeated in its first five games.
Haniger is also a first-round pick, selected 38th overall by the Brewers in 2012. The 22-year-old outfielder hit .264/.348/.431 with 11 homers, 68 RBIs and nine stolen bases in 129 games for Class A Wisconsin and Class A Advanced Brevard County in 2013, his first full season. Splitting time between center field and right, Haniger notched 15 outfield assists with the Timber Rattlers and Manatees.
Haniger opened the Fall League campaign with a grand slam and a double in his debut against Peoria on Tuesday, adding three hits and three RBIs Wednesday and going 4-for-4 with a double against Mesa on Friday. He leads all AFL hitters with 16 total bases.

Discussion in '2009 Playoffs' started by max, Apr 26, 2009.
I know....and no Bird vs magic either? Geesh!
It counts about as much as the Lions going 4-0 in preseason last year.
That means it is significant since Lions haven't managed to win another game the entire season.
Separate names with a comma.

Garfield Heights head coach Sonny Johnson played his college ball at Ohio University and had two other brothers play college basketball as well. Beyond that he has coached several other college players, but none have had the potential of Bell.
"The thing is he is just raw," said Johnson of Bell. "Dave played a little bit on a bad AAU team after his ninth grade year, and then he broke his foot last season and didn't get to really play. He is just fresh and he is working every day with my brother and I on drills after practice. He's getting some big looks right now."
The 2014 prospect is now healthy and making a major impact on the floor for the Bulldogs.
"Dave has been a major presence in the paint," said Johnson. "He is averaging about five blocks per game right now. He is able to alter shots and he runs the floor like a deer. When you have a kid who can run the floor like that, stay active, and be a help defender that is a plus."
Recruiting wise Bell had an offer from St. Joseph's coming into the weekend, but now things are exploding.
"Lately Ohio State has called, Iowa, Arizona, West Virginia, Pittsburgh was up (Wednesday), DePaul, Xavier, Dayton, everybody is getting involved with him," said Johnson.
He continued, "St. Joe's has offered and DePaul offered him as well. Also he had a lot of mid-majors at first, and now a lot of high-majors are coming in."
Things are just at the beginning stages for Bell who will need to repeat his performance the rest of the season, but Johnson feels the sky is the limit for his junior center.
"I think he can be as good as he wants to be," said Johnson. "Dave just turned 17. He has an opportunity to be special with his athletic ability, size, and running ability, and he isn't going to be as special as he can be until he gets to college."

My 1 year old Rottweiler and my 1year old pit mix act like I'm going to beat them. They are scared and I don't know why?
My Rottweiler is intact female and I got her when she was 6weeks old. I have never hit her but she cowers from me I dont understand. She had been like this since I got her but I thought it was just a phase. And my pit was a rescue that I got at8weeks and she is the same way but worse I can't even get her to come inside unless I kneel down and call her and when I stand up to go in she runs away. She was rescued from a hoarders. I just don't get it. I also have an 8week old pit and she is totally normal. Why are they so scared? I have never done any physical punishment.

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
you should see if you can take the rottweiler to the classes at some of the dog training facilities, google, scary cat classes... there are facilities that offer classes for dogs that are submissive and have social interaction issues.
Your dog needs to see the outside world and be active in it, you need to expose her to different situations. Some of the puppy fear stages occur around 6month, 10 months, and 15 months. If she is still not spayed then these stages in some dogs can be enhanced during ovulation cycles, heats that is.
So you might want to consider at this point doing a spay then attending classes to have an instructor help you with her issues. This dog might lack confidence, so the classes and the exercises can improve this. Some dogs are natural timid around ppl. I think a rottweiler and both pits need socialization just as any other breed. It would be a very unjust thing for you not to get them socialization now.they also can fed off that neg.energy. train seperately

He'll also be the first new Batman since Christian Bale's reign from 2005-2012, and Bale admits he felt a bit "jealous" seeing his signature role go to someone else at first.
Eventually, though, he came around and even offered Affleck some advice. Hit the jump to read the Christian Bale Ben Affleck comments — plus Emily Blunt's response to the Captain Marvel fan-casting.

The Sopranos
It's already been five years, but for any nostalgic fans out there this is a thread dedicated to this timeless classic.
The definitive Sopranos thread! To me this was the first true HBO show that transformed TV today. A show that's really about two families, including gratuitous violence, sex scenes/ nudity at the Bada Bing (always dreamed of running a strip club...true story), stellar soundtrack, and memorable characters + scenes.
I LOVE The Sopranos. One of the greatest TV shows ever.
I totally need to start it from the beginning again!
They modelled some of the characters from numerous real life mobsters.
Tony Soprano - Vinny Ocean based on the Decalvacante family in Jersey. He owned a mini mansion and a strip joint.
Although many other bosses can lay claim David Chase has said the Sopranos' model was in fact the Boiardo family - run by Ruggiero "Richie the Boot" Boiardo and his son "Tony Boy", and linked to the Genovese family that largely ruled Newark, the state's biggest city back in the 1960s and 1970s.
Vito Spitafore - John "Johnny Boy" D'Amato was murdered in 1992 for the same allegations as his counterpart.
Johnny Sacramoni - John Teflon Gotti. Both wore Brioni suits, chain smokers who died in prison of cancer. Also Johnny wanted to wack Carmine Lupertazzi which is an homage of John Gotti putting the hammer on Paul Castellano.
"Big P****" Bonpensiero - Big P and Little P were top allies and henchman for Ruggiero "Richie The Boot" Boiardo.
Silvio Dante - Tommy Ricciardi was the top enforcer for the Lucchese crime familys New Jersey faction. The television mobster, like his real-life counterpart, likes to dress well in wiseguy chic, and they both carry themselves with a dont-mess-with-me swagger.
Peter Paul "Paulie Walnuts" Gualtieri - His surname is taken from real life DeCavalcante crime family mobster Frank Gualtieri, who served under Vincent Palermo.
Little Carmine Lupertazzi - It is believed that the inspiration for Little Carmine's character is John A. Gotti, who was also groomed by his father to take over the reins, despite showing little of the intelligence, tactical brutality, or stomach needed for the job.
I loaded this yesterday and never watched it. NEVER seen an episode but watched Donnie Brasco the other day and wanted to continue getting into the Mafia shit (and my PS3 is broke so Vito and Joe won't have any adventures).
Is it THAT mafia like? I hate the Godfather, but I love Goodfellas, Donnie Brasco, Sopranos PS2 game :D, Mafia games, Godfather games etc.
It's about as mafia as you can get these days. Try it, you'll love it
I swear they had real life mafia members consult for the Sopranos. Well, Tony Sirico who plays Pauli Walnuts was part of the Columbo Crime Family.
*Note* Luca Brasi was a real life enforcer and bodyguard. That's what made him intimidating and gave the film authenticity. It could not have been made without the blessing of the REAL MOB.
You got six seasons and you're gonna love it!
EDIT: Just read the funniest anecdote.
Arnold "Squiggy" Ezekiel Squitieri(born February 2, 1936) of Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey is a convicted drug dealer and former acting boss and current Underboss of the Gambino crime family.[1] He is also known as "Zeke", "Bozey", and "Squitty".
While on parole from prison, Squitieri received a flat panel television as a gift from an undercover FBI agent Joaquín "Jack" García. One evening, Squitieri was watching an episode of the TV series The Sopranos (All Happy Families...). Wanting to get rid of a mobster on parole, boss Anthony Soprano sends him a stolen TV set. Soprano then arranges for a parole officer to visit the mobster and arrest him for possessing stolen property. When the show was over, a frightened Squitieri gave away the TV[6] and purchased his own.
Watched the first 3 episodes so far. A little on the slow side but we'll see what happens as I get into it. I want to get the first season done before Walking Dead comes out and to hell with everything else haha
The Sopranos was about sophistication ala the Italian La Cosa Nostra. Everything down to the way they dressed, interaction with one another, mafioso politics, internal/external strife, and both 'family' issues. The whole show gave the viewers a psychological point of view perspective from a mob boss. All time greatest show.
I love the Sopranos and it has been the drama by which I compare all other dramas. It set the standard. That being said, I just finished The Wire and I'd have to say it gives the Sopranos a run for its money.

200-4r questions looking to build up
ok so im looking at gettin a 85 monte carlo ss with a 7.5 rear 4.11s gears a th200r4 and a mild 355 chevy.
He told me the only thing done to the 200 was a shift kit ive read and looked and it seems the 200 wont last long behind a 355 so can you guys help me make it a decent transmission for lets say max 450hp?
im on a tight budget but i can use you guys ideas for help thanks
do you have a th200 or the 2004r
the latter can take anything that 355 can dish out..
turbo uicks run 8's with them and making more ft lb's than your 355 will
you'll need to update some hard parts.. but it'll take 800hp when built to the hill
midrange builds take 500 easy
1985 through 1988 Monte Carlo SSs got the TH-200-4R 4 speed, overdrive transmission. this is what i believe it has. i hope its not a total turd i dont own it yet but its the stock auto of what came in 85 so i assume it this
i think it the same 1 the GN's had cause it a 4speed i think the 200 just a 3
i believe it the same 1 the GN's had as it a 4 speed. the 200 i believe was only 3
type in 200 4r trans on U-tube. Lots of stuff' or here http://www.gnttype.org/techarea/tran.../200rebld.html
Had a 2004r trans in my 77 vette behind a 355 zz4 cam with vortec heads. I built the trans with some upgraded parts. It was a nice combination
If you got the 200 4r tranny, you'll love it. I Built one for my 1977 nova last year. I upgraded it by rebuildilng the front pump to 10 vane and relieving it. Hardened rings is a must. You have to put in the bigger boost valves and low gear boost valve. I upped the clutch count to 8 in the direct clutch pact, 5 in the forward clutch pack, three in the overrun cluch, and 3 in the fourth cluch. Larger red band. If you use a large boost valves, do not oversize the holes in the seperator plate. I used a larger 2nd gear band servo for more holding power. I recommend the red clutches. If you can find a second 200 4r for parts, it realy helps. I used the second one for insurance incase something was bad. I also used the second pan to have one cut short and one cut long and welded back together to make a deep pan. Then you can us the 700 r4 filter since its a bottom feeder enstead of the 200 filter that is a top feeder. If you use the 7.5 rear, you maybe pushing it to its limit of horse power and torque with a healthy 350, or more. Go for it? You betcha :D
what would all of the above parts run me. i wanna do it right just not get ripped off. the prices of most stuff dont seem to bad compared to what i spent on a diesel transmission to stand up to 700 pounds of torque. thats only a mild 350 horses but wow it was expensive
First of all, are you capaable of rebuildilng it your self? if so go for it. It's not easy and you still are going to have to buy the book. I'd bet that 75% of the rebuilt trannys that people do, fail. You have to have alot of patience and time. Along with that, you have to be orderly and clean about the work space. Auto trannys don't like dirty rebuilds. Do you know how to see the problems that cause failures in the rebuild? No tranny builder can tell you everthing you need to know. Every tranny wears dilfferently. I recommend you have it done by someone who knows how to rebuild a 200 4r. If not and your serious, It will cost you between 750-1000 to build for parts, dependilng on what type and seriousness of the build. Mine cost me approx $1100.00. But i knew the trick how to redo mine to save money. The second one i rebuilt cost me less, because i used the very best part from three other trannys, and new red clutch kit. I had never rebuilt a auto tranny before, but i have other knowledge in hydrolic funtions that aided me. I studied the tranny as I took it apart with the use of the book andit works fine. I have the patience of job, and that is what it will take. If you think that is the end of it, your wrong. Next is installing it right. Anyone can take it out. Do you know how to install the tq converter/ TV set up, ect. If you can get some help, go for it. If i sound negative, its because i've tried to help people and they lack insight and blame me. That is why tranny builder don't tell you much, the average guy thinks they got led astray. Know have i discourage you, if not, go for it.
I have a buddy who probably can. Lucky my dad has a explorer hat needs a tranny so I will try to learn on the junk 1
OK. Now set down for the day at the old computor and research all the 200 4r tranny cites you can. Every time you see something that you want to know or use later, copy it/in paper form. then you will have it for reference. My file must of use a rem of paper. I know everyou tells you that you have to have special tools to take them apart and put them back together. I didn't. I looked at the type of tool they used and substituted something else. If you can do that, then you must be able to think on you feet. I used a short piece of top chain link fence rail with the male end to put in the support to rock it loose and out. Worked like a charm. When rebuilding the pump, I didn't have the large clamp to hold the two halves together when you bolt it back together. I used a very long sign clamp that i got years ago, it looks like a very wide, long radiator clamp. Good luck from Atlantic Ia
buy this and read it
I always wanted to print out and make a book of info for any car I might ever buy. Like how to fix them improve them and mod them and the such but I need a printer have a lot of money for the library
ok so its been rebuilt with a shift kit and a 2300 stall converter both motor and transmission have less than the break in period on them

If you, like me, have less than five minutes to make your hands look presentable — and even, gasp, fantastic — do what I did. Grab a glittery or interesting-looking topcoat. I used the new Jinsoon Lacquer in Polka Black, $18. Slap on a clear basecoat and finish with the topcoat. Even without a colorful nail polish base, you're left with a fun manicure that took very, very little effort. And even less drying time.
