Regardless of your allegiance, watching a city host its first playoff game in 21 years is fun and heartwarming. For the first time since the days of Barry Bonds and Jim Leyland, Pittsburgh will host a postseason baseball game. That's 7,760 days in between playoff games in the Steel City. The magical Pirates will host a National League Central rival, the Cincinnati Reds, on Tuesday night for the first of the wild-card games that debuted last season.
The NL Central was a force this season as three of the division's five teams won at least 90 games and reached the playoffs. The Reds limp into the playoffs having dropped their final five games of the regular season, including a three-game sweep at the hands of the Pirates. And Pittsburgh holds the edge in the season series, beating the Reds 11 of 19 times this season. The games, however, were all close contests as 12 of the 19 were decided by two runs or less. The Pirates boast a likely NL MVP candidate, Andrew McCutchen, along with three other all-stars.
The Pirates' best season since 1992 now rests in the hands of starter Francisco Liriano. The Pirates are in this position thanks to the improvements of their players, the managing of Clint Hurdle and several small but smart moves by General Manager Neal Huntington. Liriano was one of the best signings of winter. The left-hander posted a 16-8 record, a 3.02 ERA and struck out 163 batters over 161 innings. The 29-year-old has been a death knell to left-handed batters, allowing them to hit only .131 against him. In fact, he has surrendered only two extra-base hits to left-handers this season. And guess which of the Reds hitters are left-handed? Their best ones — Joey Votto, Shin-Soo Choo and Jay Bruce.
The Reds counter with Johnny Cueto, their ace of a year ago who has been injured much of this season. Mat Latos would have started the win-or-go-home game but an elbow spur in his throwing arm prevented him from doing so. He will still try to pitch through it if the Reds advance. So instead, the Reds turn to Cueto, who is making only his third start since returning from the disabled list from a lat strain on Sept. 16. He has allowed only one earned run over his past 12 innings and reports on him have been good, so that bodes well for Cincinnati. But so much hinges on the performances of a team's starting pitcher in a situation like this.
A one-game playoff game undermines baseball's core principals. Over a season, teams play mostly three- and four-games series. A season is a grueling 162-game marathon. Boiling down six months into one October night seems almost cruel. But this is the new playoff model and Commissioner Bud Selig's dream to drum up more interest. More money is infused into the sport this way. More cities, teams and fan bases are invested deeper into the season than they normally would. So, sorry Pittsburgh, your rise to glory rests solely on this one shot. The winner plays a familiar foe: the St. Louis Cardinals.

"It's called the american dream because you have to be asleep to believe it".
You think being born with the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness is an AMERICAN thing? No wonder it's the most hated nation if that is the aura you're collectively giving off. What you just described is simply a birth-given right. I have the right to everything you do, you just have it written down. It makes no difference. In fact, I live in a country where healthcare costs, for all intents and purposes, nothing. I can go in hospital and get a life-saving operation for nothing. Can you?
Stop acting like the rights you have are exclusive to Americans. It's genuinely sickening. Gays can't marry, abortion is illegal in some places. Yet, you want to talk about how free your nation is? You also include God in your pledge of allegiance. A pledge of allegiance is a laughable concept anyway, but to make everyone, atheists and everyone else included, pledge allegiance to one nation under GOD? F*ck that. That's not free.
WE'VE done this, WE'VE done that. To quote Chris Rock, "Be a f*cking person." Stop saying WE. Who are you? You're A man. You'd be *****ing at people judging America by the stupid ones, so why are you lumping everyone together? You don't speak for everyone. I don't doubt there are people who share your belief, but there are many, especially now, who do not. "We, as Americans..." Always the way, never thinking as individual humans. I don't give a shit about being a good Englishman, just a good person. Would you not pursue happiness, liberty or life (Whatever the f*ck that means) if you were born in Europe or Canada? Of course you would.
You're too focused on the WE. People thrive or succeed on their own steam, not because they're Americans.
You tie so much of your identity into the fact that your parents had sex in America that it's honestly disturbing to me. You could've been born anywhere and you had no say in it. That's all it is. That's the only reason we're born anywhere. Our parents f*cked somewhere and we came out of it. That's not something I'm proud of.
Patriotism is a plague. A putrid, rotten, festering disease and this world is better off without it. So, as for pulling heads out of butts? If MORE Americans took more time to learn that there's a world outside of their isolated, inter-focused floating fortress of an island continent, they might learn that a lot of the world shares the freedoms you also claim to have. Though, who wants to do that? It's much better to not watch the news and just assume everyone else is living in medieval times.

Personally, I'm glad you responded in such a manner. It just makes you look irrational, angry, bitter, and egotistical. I've heard your rants on how people can't be proud of their nation or have pride, etc etc.. It's just the same long winded junk you always spout out. Hey Norrin, newsflash: you aren't always right. Get over it and I promise you, life will be so much easier for you.

Hello, interesting thread.
Norrin don't temp ban me this time, I am just watching.
RunwiththeLight, I consider it borderline flaming for someone who isn't really taking part in the debate to chime in and call someone who's making a sincere effort to prove a point "ignorant", and then not contribute to the thread themselves.
No more of that sort of thing, please. I don't really agree with str1der either, but that doesn't mean I'm going to tolerate disrespect of this sort towards him.
You were good enough to dish out a beat-my-chest, wave-my-flag reply to someone, me, daring to question America. In doing so, you demonstrated the stereotypical think last, act first mentality that America has come to be known for. Not unlike the Bush Administration. Someone has something negative to say toward your country and the first thing you do is fire all cylinders. You don't think to aim them and make sure they're not blanks.
If this upsets you, then I'd cease being a patriotic, blinkered human being when collectively summarising your beliefs on this matter.
If you have any legitimate backing to the overwhelmingly false, blindly patriotic and immensely wrong things you said, then present them. It's just petty and classless to fire off childish shots at me whilst spiralling toward, and simultaneously crashing into, defeat.
Sitting there saying, "You're not always right." doesn't do anything, because as it stands, your argument doesn't stand. Mine does. I am almost always on the winning end of debates because, unlike you, I keep my mouth closed, hands off the keyboard and nose out of the debate unless I absolutely know what I am talking about.
No offense, but you don't.
As for life being better if I get over whatever it is you propose I get over? I'm rich, surrounded by my loved ones and working a job I love to death. I'm living the dream you probably haven't even lived yet, and I'm not even American. So to close the argument: I have wealth, life, happiness and liberty.
An Englishman living what YOU call The American Dream. Are you done? You're done. Peace. One nation, and all that nonsense.
i believe in the american dream as in if you work hard you can make something of your self. but that holds true for most first world country's if not all
i was watching a documentary about kid mexican immigrants and they all seemed to act like you get here and your instantly rich and can sleep all day and do what ever you want
whether or not what he said is ignorant I don't particularly care. Norrin and Str1der are having a debate, and sniping at either of them from the sidelines and calling one of them "ignorant" because you disagree with him is not welcome.
As for the topic at hand, nothing I said in my post is false. Find ONE thing. In fact, to save your the trouble (because I know you'll want to do it anyways) I'll just start disecting my own posts.
"Say what you will of America, but that dream is imbedded in to our core; it's written in to our law and in to the hearts and minds of its people. America has made mistakes, no one will argue we haven't. But we've also tried our hardest to bring some good to the world. Do we mess up? Ya, but we still try."
Welp, let's see: the dream really is imbedded in to our law. It is what fueled the hearts and minds of the American people for centuries. You can't argue that, so don't waste either of our time and pretend you can. I admitted that America has made mistakes.. there are a lot of things I'm not proud of on both ends of the political spectra and national relations. But England is no better. Japan isn't leading any way either. We're all working towards a better tomorrow together. I'm pretty sure that that entire paragraph basically admits that. Moving on!
"The American Dream is far from dead, but it's not being aided by emerging so******ts. People still flock to this country to pursue a life they could never have dreamed of anywhere else. People still come here to live a prejudice free life or simply one where they don't have to be afraid of their government killing them in the middle of the night."
Care to point out where anything in there is false? America, as a nation, was built as a capitalist society. It's what allowed us to get to where we were today. So******m, however you want to define it, does in fact take away what makes our country part of what it is. It can't be argued, it's fact. People also still do come here, every day, to escape from a life they weren't happy with. Still waiting for the false material here, my man.
As for my story, you can't debate with that. It's true, and it's inspirational, atleast to me.
"Pull your heads out of your sheeple butts and stop pretending for a second that America has disappeared or abandoned what we once stood for. We've had some hiccups and we've hit some stumbling blocks, but at the end of the day we always get back up. Every day we, as a nation and as a people, work towards bettering ourselves and what we stand for. While I'm sure everyone would like to have those privileges, we, as Americans, know that we've been born with the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That right is guaranteed to no other people."
So let's see.. I admit that we're once again not perfect. Check. I also don't pretend for one second to think of myself as better than another person. I simply defend an idea that has given me a fantastic life that I am blessed to have. A loving family, a fantastic education, and a safe environment to grow, live, and hopefully to one day raise my own family in.
Out of my entire first post, that is the ONLY section that has any form of patriotism in it. So what? Deal with it. Just because you, Norrin, don't believe in patriotism and just because you, Norrin, believe it to be wrong doesn't mean that anyone else does or has to. It's your opinion. The difference between you and I is that I respect your right to have that opinion. You, on the other hand, don't think that to be the case.
Norrin, your post was not an arguement. It was you blindly ranting about how you hate this or that. You didn't rebuttal anything but simply stated your apparently undying hatred towards an idea that you don't have to agree with. But that doesn't mean it's wrong or that others can't.
I expected more from you..

"I've read many threads of yours." followed by, "You proclaim yourself to be the divine truth in each case." One statement followed by a factually and grossly incorrect claim. I've never done that. I'm only right by fact if facts are there to make me right.
You ask me to talk to you with respect, yet you gave me such an utterly petulant and ridiculous reply when all I did was retort to your argument. An argument YOU brought to ME, all while telling me to pull my head out of my ***. No, no...not just me. "Us"...whoever, WE are. Yet, I'M to be respectful? I am the one who doesn't respect opposing beliefs? Call me Winona Ryder, cos I ain't buying that.
If you haven't noticed, nobody here seems to agree with your post so far. So who exactly is raging at me for respect, or lack thereof? More to the point, people who usually DISLIKE my posts have given me rep for my reply to you. Yet, your last reply was met with frowns, not mine.
Just, you know, think about that.
Life, liberty and happiness are not American things.
What YOU are talking about is people moving from war torn or politically unstable countries, to America, and being thrilled that their government isn't going to kill them. Yes, anyone would find that wonderful. That isn't American freedom, that's called default freedom. Everyone that doesn't live in a war torn or oppressive country has that. I have that. I was not born with any less freedom.
I was born not having to recite a pledge of allegiance to a country and/or God, when I may not necessarily care for either. You read news stories all the time about kids getting in trouble for not reciting it, not supporting troops etc. These are freedoms. The freedom to choose. You seem to have been brainwashed into thinking America is the only country with this, as you EXPLICITLY claimed. THAT is false.
I have every freedom you have, plus more. Ask me when was the last time I had a healthcare bill. "When was the last time you had a healthcare bill?" Never, Strider.
The IDEA has NOT given you a fantastic life, family, education etc. YOU gave yourself that. Idiots, homeless etc don't have what you do. Go ask a homeless guy how he feels about the so-called land of opportunity. England never gave me anything I have, I earned what I have. I earned my degree, I earned my job placement etc. England never gave it to me.
Are we better placed to have such things than other countries? Yes, if those other countries you refer to are Iran or Afghanistan. MANY, MANY countries offer the freedom to pursue what YOU call The American Dream. THAT is why everything you say is false.
Be thankful you live in a country that allows it, BY ALL MEANS, please do. Just don't sit there acting like that's an American thing. It's not.
There's no tax in Switzerland for one thing. I'm sure they'd argue that they have something over America, and we already know how Britain differs. Are there things wrong with our countries? Yes. In terms of opportunity, though, we have either equal restrictions or equal freedom. Yours is no superior.
Blind ranting? I'm afraid not. I never came through with a petulant piece of childishness in lieu of a counter. No, that's what you did. I countered you precisely, concisely and oh, so nicely. I did it before, I've done it now and I will continue doing it as long as you continue to bring such a terribly flawed, untrue and emotional/irrational basis to this debate.
Was that "Norrin" enough for you?
lol oh shit haha
Hello there memory.I recall trying to forget you before.But it seems you're obsessed with me,oh how lucky i am.
You're entire arguement (and I won't lie here, you calling my posts emotionally based is quite amusing.. pot calling the kettle black, anyone?) is based off the fact that you believe I stated only America has those freedoms. That only America can do any, and apparently every,thing that I stated. You're grossly mistaken. You're letting your quite apparent anger blind you from seeing that.
I merely defended my country from the standard OnRPG onslaught of hating America, Republicans, etc. It's always the same, and sometimes I just feel a little bit of interjection is in order. Do the English have those rights? Sure they do. Are those inherent rights written in to their written law and constitution? Not so much. Did I state that America was ever better than anyone else? No, I didn't. Your whole little arguement about Vietnam was also made null and void when I stated that even I can point out several horrific and repulsive situations that American's have brought about. But no other nation or people is any better.
I NEVER said that America was better, had more rights, liberties, or anything of the sort. I simply stated it was a concept written in to our law and that we were born with. You, on the other hand, decided to run gung-ho with the idea that I claimed America to be superior. Way to completely misread any and all intentions of that first post.
Also, why do you simply think that England having a universal healthcare system makes it better? Call it expensive, call it dumb, but America still has the most superior quality of healthcare in the world. This is not the place or time for this conversation, but since I know you'll just love to point this out, let me make it perfectly clear that I do NOT believe we have a good healthcare system at the moment. It is flawed, broken, expensive, and a drain. Something has to be done, clearly.
And how childish do you have to be to actually factor in people "agreeing" with you on something? So three people said they disagree with my view. What do I care? OnRPG has never been conservative or American friendly. Of course you're going to have more people on your side. But I'm not fighting for popularity or whatever it is your first paragraph claims you have that I don't.
Lasty, since I am about to go to bed, I'd like to point this out on your end:
"You can't sit there and act like this is a unified effort toward a better, collective world...with the ARROGANT asterisk of, "...but ours is better." Especially when the things YOU claim make it better are not exclusive to you."
Re-read my post. I never said anything about "ours is better," or whatever. And once again, I never, in any of my posts, stated that those rights were exclusive to America. I'd have thought that you, of all people, would know the difference between something being exclusive and something being guaranteed.
And actually, no, that wasn't "Norrin" enough for me. Your posts are usually more perceptive and don't put words in people's mouths.

You claimed that NOBODY else has those rights. I countered. Now you're admitting they do. NOW you're saying, "Is it written in their constitution?" No, it isn't. Does it need to be? No. SHOULD it be? No. Why? Because it takes all sorts to make a nation. Not everyone's religious and not everyone will love the country. I love London. I don't love London cos I was born here, because it "gave" me anything. I GREW to love it through experience. Impartial experience. Loving a country because you are born there is just ridiculous. If you wanna do it, then by all means do so, but it's illogical.
If you love it because of the opportunities you are afforded due to living there, great. So am I. Lesson learned? Don't act like it's an American thing. Far from acting like it, you SAID it.
The constitution is a contradiction. It touts freedom, but it includes a pledge to God and country. What if you don't want to do that? You don't have to, right? The pledge is optional? Well then why is it even there? That's like Steve Jobs saying, "Just hold your iPhone differently if you have signal trouble." A simple solution, sure, but Apple cocked it up, so why should I have to work around their mistake? Just fix it. Same with the constitution. If it's ok to not pledge allegiance, why even have it? Britain doesn't have one and we're not crumbling at the foundation. "It's tradition! It's history!", many will cry. Tradition is nothing but another word for the collective habit. The British Monarchy are part of our tradition and our history, but they're also f*cking irrelevant. They cost our citizens money and the fact that they AREN'T abolished is disgraceful.
People say, "Oh come on, it's not that much money into your taxes anyway." So what? They shouldn't be there.
If people wanna recite a pledge, let them. Having it as an institution is simply saying, "You don't have to say it...but you're sort of a ***** if you don't."
A greased weasel couldn't slip out of that one. What you said was wrong.
If you were to argue that it's written in your constitution? Yes, but as I've proven, that is 100% and totally irrelevant to living and to life.
If they can grow a windpipe, I'm pretty sure they've got everything else covered, in all practicality. If you can name an American hospital with as much revered history as the Royal London, then please do.
YOU stated that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are things no other people have. YOU acted like your Vietnam sob story was unique to America, as if it could only have happened involving America. You've either explicitly stated or explicitly implied these things.
None of them are true by any stretch. If you MEANT to say that no other country has it written down, constitutionally, then say what you mean next time. Even so, I've dealt with that argument to.
Like I said, all day.
We spent pages arguing about whether you were using circular reasoning, and not providing any argument at all and after pages and pages, you rounded it out by using circular reasoning again, then said "Well, you're not even really arguing with me, so this is pointless.". (Where you essentially said morals are subjective, because they are)
I agree with you, that it was pointless, but don't act like you never just made a statement with nothing to back it up.
Every single time I debate morals, I have everything backing me up. I never make any statements about moral subjectivity with nothing to back me. I've had the debate enough to have enough ammo in my clip.
You weren't seeing that and you were incorrectly insisting it was circular reasoning, OR, playing Devil's advocate. So, considering we agreed on the overall point, I simply chose to end it because it was pointless to continue. I don't debate with pragmatists anymore, it's a waste of time.
... Norrin. Look at the post. I will not have you sidestep this one. What does this say?Originally Posted by Norrin Radd
You said this. Please explain to me how this is not circular reasoning (or any of your other posts in that thread). You say their argument will be in ruins, merely because someone will have an opposing view. This is circular logic, because you're making the assumption that their view is equally valid, because morals are subjective. This is circular reasoning. Why do you say it is not?Originally Posted by Norrin Radd
I don't want to derail this thread, so I'll let you respond, and then we'll take this to PMs.
Wow. This thread is absurd. I think y'all shoudl take it to PMs, because it doesn't look good when mods, retired staff and gaming journalists are getting into a battle royale. You can tell me it's a civil debate, but it looks like anything but

Fuel Filter for my e30
Hi guys:
I want to change my fuel filter on my E30. It currently has a long fuel filter but when i went to RealEOM.com it tells me that I should've have the smaller wider one.
is there a difference between the two.
My car is a BMW 318i-E30 with the M40 engine. it was made in 89 but sold in 1990 and the filter is located in the engine bay.
Thanks for your help.
Someone just put a non oem filter on. Simple as that.
+1 on above. Filter (here) is about 41/2" long and 2" dia.
this is the genuine one in my E30 316i (m40) same filter as 318i
no idea what that plug just dangling there is for, but the car runs as it should so never bothered to find out! let me know if you know?
The pix look like mine (fuel filter that is).
Thank You
Thank you all I guess this was a case of too much research... I'm sticking with the long filter ( like it was on the car in the first place) and i'm over realoem.com, it's not the first time it gives me rong info.
Thanks again
I wouldn't get to picky with it. Bosch made the same filters for a whole line of german cars. My mk1 vw filter looked the same as my E30's.
Mate I've done just that, that's where the problem began... Put in the last 7 digits and it all comes up the model, the engine the number of doors,left hand drive, etc. however the part number for my fuel filter is for the smaller wider filter that goes under the car, as per diagram, and mine is the longer one that goes in the engine bay, as per the above photo.
I just wanted to know for sure just in case I've been driving with the wrong filter since I bout it last year.
Even if it was wrong it wouldn't hurt anything. Bosch makes fuel filters for a whole bunch of different cars. They are almost all the same except for how they attach to the fuel lines. If you went to a parts store and asked for a fuel filter for your e30, gave them all your info. You would get a generic fuel filter.
yep, fuel filters one of the very few parts that almost anything for any older car will do. of course there are exceptions like E46ti having integrated pump and filter, but thats just BMW overengineering for you.
thats just for emmissions isnt it? doesnt improve fuel economy right? this car is New Zealand new, and when sold Leaded gas was common here, so the car has no cat from the factory, would it have no charcol cannister too? maybe i'll ask on my NZ forum i frequesnt too
If it was deleted it would prob smell like gas some when you lifted up the hood, or even just walking around the car. Unplugged mine for a while but put it back after noticing the smell in the garage. Doesn't really effect much. Friends mk3 has his vapors running into the trunk which is kinda stupid to me. Everything back there smells like gas.

Atlanta, GA (RPRN) 4/29/09 -- The difference between life and death for many businesses today is one big win – one new piece of business that will allow your firm to ride out the economic storm. If that's the case for your business, then you better know how to deliver a killer pitch: a new business presentation that grabs the prospect and doesn't let go until he gives you a new contract.
Veteran business coach Joey Asher maintains that winning new business in today's economy is difficult but not impossible. It takes execution of a few key fundamentals.
Asher, an Atlanta-based sales presentation coach and President of the nationally-recognized consulting firm Speechworks, adds that when business is scarce, honing the pitch is crucial. To provide sellers with the tools and techniques they need to create and deliver new business presentations, separate themselves from the competition, and win business, Asher wrote How to Win a Pitch: The Five Fundamentals that Will Distinguish You from the Competition, available on Amazon.com and slated for release on May 19, 2009.
In conjunction with the release of How to Win a Pitch (ISBN: 978-0-9785776-1-2 , Trade Paper, 272 pp., $16.95), Asher is sharing his insights on winning business in a down economy. Asher recommends following these five fundamentals:
Fundamental #1. Present a solution and nothing else. All too often, people start presentations by talking about themselves. "Before we start, let me tell you about how our company began . . ." Who cares? Your prospect only cares about is how you can save them money, grow their revenues, or reduce their risk. Detail your plan to help your prospect and tell stories about how the plan has worked for others.
Fundamental #2. Keep it simple. Resist the urge to cover too much ground in the presentation. Pound away at three messages. "We'll build your project on time. We'll meet your budget. We'll deliver quality work." Simplicity always separates you from the competition.
Fundamental #3. Speak with Passion. If you're one of three firms competing, you know that your competition can do a great job. But as one CEO explained, "When it's close, many of the decisions just come down to who connects with us best.". Passion in the voice helps you connect.
Fundamental #4. Leave half of your time for questions. Questions address what your prospect wants to hear. Your answers almost always separate you. Your competition often makes Q&A an afterthought. Consequently, you can gain an advantage by considering the questions on the front-end.
Fundamental #5. Rehearse. One CEO who has had hundreds of sales presentations stated, "I can always tell who has rehearsed." Most people don't rehearse much. Practicing sets you apart.
Asher adds, "In a recession, the pool of new business is small. Focusing on the fundamentals will help you grab your share."
One of the country's preeminent experts on selling skills and communication, Joey Asher is President of Speechworks, an Atlanta-based communication and selling skills coaching firm that has been helping business people communicate more effectively for over 20 years. Asher combines his skills as an attorney and journalist to help readers and clients rise above their competition. Joey Asher is also author of Selling & Communication Skills for Lawyers, and Even a Geek Can Speak: Low-Tech Presentation Skills For High-Tech People.

Happy New Year!
I'm taking the day off and hoping for a nice hike in the woods, but the weather doesn't look promising.
Watch for the bird anatomy lesson tomorrow.
And while you're waiting, check out the Hooters Calendar whose pictures made me laugh out loud (it's not what you think). The link shows the 2009 .pdf calendar which takes a while to download. Sales of the calendar benefit the "models."
Happy New Year!

A lifetime of fear and regret as we sift within the ash and lost remnant
All those chances that came time and again to no avail, a forever silence now spent
I'm so tired right now, I just want to stop hearing their screaming in my heart
but these dark fields are endless I see now, and my fear is but the start
Inspired by Fred1712's " Arrow Through The Reassuring Heart " which can be found here https://soundcloud.com/fred1712/arrow-through-the-reassuring
There are places within the darkness of unending space. Places of which are no longer but to serve only to disband within this loneliness, the forever death of the quiet stars. The silent screams of the empty husks, genuine aptitudes for the infinite marvels of the universe, now nothing but silent reminders what can be but will never. The dusters are nature's way of reminding us empty space is no space at all, no matter how much it hurts.


text: Did anyone else hear Coach talking about the surface at Heinz Field this morning live at 730 on WNST? Obviously they weren't in delay as Brian called it a "sh*tty field". Right after he said that, it was like the end of the interview as Drew thanked him. I don't know if that was the planned end of the interview or Drew & Casey decided to end it after that comment. My 12 year old daughter looked at me & said "Dad, did he just cuss on the radio, I thought you couldn't do that." & I said "Well, Coach Billick is just saying out loud what the rest of us are thinking. I don't think he meant to say that on the radio though." Good Stuff. I'm sure when they re run it later today it will be bleeped out.

Watch the University of Wisconsin football games online to see if transfer quarterback Danny O'Brien can fill the departing Russell Wilson's big shoes. O'Brien does stand at 6'3″ and is quite capable of getting the ball out from behind the offensive line. He has the athleticism enabling him to always buy some precious time in the pocket. However, he is no Russell Wilson. He will not be scampering for 40-plus yard scores or making the defensive line look silly darting here and there before releasing a right-on targeted missile to a Jared Abbrederis who finally can get open.
What O'Brien will do is what he does well: stay back in the pocket and patiently wait for someone to get open and then shoot them a right-on missile.
O'Brien has the physical and mental acuity to get the job done. His one big challenge will be digesting the Badger playbook but workouts with Ralph Friedgen and James Franklin will take care of this chore. He already possesses the knowledge of conducting effective defensive reads. Put all this together and O'Brien presents himself as a quarterback that will be just as ready as any other Badger player on the current roster.
This rising star has already appeared in 22 contests during his career while starting 17 of these. He's already seen plenty of tough college defenses including the 3-3-5 of West Virginia as well as the 3-4 revealed by Georgia Tech. He has already come up against a blitzing 4-3 defense provided by North Carolina State. O'Brien has seen all the coverages that there are in college football including cover two, cover three, cover one, two-man and robber defenses he has successfully combated already.
O'Brien will prove to be a good find and he has the tools to get the job done for the Badger offense.

Nas Tells Def Jam He Is NOBODY'S Slave
Record labels have been struggling off the back of the music industry's massive digital boom and artists are getting pissy. True to form, no musical genre has mastered the art of shit slinging better than rap. Lupe Fiasco has recently bitched out Atlantic Records and the general corruption of the major labels on stage at a concert. No one's a better listener than a roomful of mega fans. And now an email that irrefutable hip hop genius Nas sent to Def Jam executives was leaked yesterday, in which Nas criticises the label for assigning the album a shitty marketing budget and generally not caring about the album. Read the full (unintentionally leaked) email below where Nas goes liberal on the caps lock and being totally boss.
From: Nas
To: LA Reid, Steve Bartels, Steve Gawley, Michael Seltzer, Joseph Borrino, Chris Hicks
Subject: PUT MY SH*T OUT!
Peace to all,
With all do respect to you all, Nas is NOBODY's slave. This is not the 1800's, respect me and I will respect you.
I won't even tap dance around in an email, I will get right into it. People connect to the Artist @ the end of the day, they don't connect with the executives. Honestly, nobody even cares what label puts out a great record, they care about who recorded it. Yet time and time again its the executives who always stand in the way of a creative artist's dream and aspirations. You don't help draw the truth from my deepest and most inner soul, you don't even do a great job @ selling it. The #1 problem with DEF JAM is pretty simple and obvious, the executives think they are the stars. You aren't.... not even close. As a matter of fact, you wish you were, but it didn't work out so you took a desk job. To the consumer, I COME FIRST. Stop trying to deprive them! I have a fan base that dies for my music and a RAP label that doesn't understand RAP. Pretty fucked up situation
This isn't the 90's though. Beefing with record labels is so 15 years ago. @ this point I just need you all to be very clear where I stand and how I feel about "my label." I could go on twitter or hot 97 tomorrow and get 100,000 protesters @ your building but I choose to walk my own path my own way because since day one I have been my own man. I did business with Tommy Mottola and Donnie Einer, two of the most psycho dudes this business ever created. I worked well with them for one major reason....... they believed in me. The didn't give a f**k about what any radio station or magazine said....those dudes had me.
Lost Tapes is a movement and a very important set up piece for my career as it stands. I started this over 5 years ago @ Columbia and nobody knew what it was or what it did but the label put it out as an LP and the fans went crazy for it and I single handlely built a new brand of rap albums. It's smart and after 5 years it's still a head of the game. This feels great and you not feeling what I'm feeling is disturbing. Don't get in the way of my creativity. We are aligned with the stars here, this is a movement. There is a thing called KARMA that comes to haunt you when you tamper with the aligning stars. WE ARE GIVING THE PEOPLE EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT. Stop throwing dog s**ton a MAGICAL moment.
You don't get another Nas recording that doesn't count against my deal....PERIOD! Keep your bulls**t $200,000.00 fund. Open the REAL budget. This is a New York pioneers ALBUM, there ain't many of us. I am ready to drop in the 4th quarter. You don't even have s**tcoming out! Stop being your own worst enemy. Let's get money!
Nas is coming to town to play the Good Vibrations Festival. Get your shit on THAT. PERIOD.

A police traffic officer is in a critical condition after a hit-and-run accident early on Friday morning, the Metropolitan police said.
The male officer, who was on foot, was hit as he attempted to stop a car, which drove off shortly before 1am on the A217 Reigate Avenue at the junction with Rose Hill, Sutton.

"London ambulance service was called by the PC's male colleague who was also on patrol with him. The injured officer was taken to a south London hospital where he is in a critical condition."
Roads in the immediate area are closed.

on my mac I have both Quicktime and Windows Media Player 9 . I use Quicktime mostly because it works in conjunction with iMovie . I found that when I added a Quicktime .mov file to my website that the majority of Windows users couldnt see it and amazingly didnt want ever to use it or try it or download it. Any file that is .AV seems to be no problem.
Does anyone here use Windows and Quicktime?

Meet our Honeymoon couple posted: 2017-06-15 15:53:00
They are from Singapore, they are young, beautiful and they spent their honeymoon and Christmas on the Camino de Santiago. We have the exclusive interview!
Where are you from, how long have you known each other?
Ellyn and I are from Singapore. Although we married each other in Jul 2012, we have actually known each other for 14 years now. We are good friends from high school back in 1998, but college and our careers took us away from each other for 12 years. She had a special place in my heart throughout this period though. We finally started dating in 2010 when life saw it opportune to bring us back into each other's lives. I am glad to have married the love of my life and I will treasure the time we spent walking the Camino together always.
Why did you choose to spend your Honeymoon on the Camino?
I am a big fan of the author Paulo Coelho, and read his book "The Pilgrimage" quite some time ago. His book made me fall in love with the idea of walking the Camino. When Ellyn and I started to plan for our honeymoon, I proposed the idea of walking the final 100km of the Camino Frances on Dec 12.
At the time I thought, a typical honeymoon consists of things that I would do on any other holiday, i.e. tourist attractions and beach resorts. Hence, wouldn't it be incredibly romantic for Ellyn and I to embark on this once-in-a-lifetime experience for our honeymoon instead? This walk is something we will remember for the rest of our lives because the 5 days we spent on the road, with only each other for company, really bonded us together. It allowed us to strengthen our trust and love for each other. We also timed our walk to end on Christmas Eve. Walking into Santiago de Compostela (the third most religious city in the world after Rome and Jerusalem) the day before Christmas and attending the pilgrim's mass on Christmas day is an experience we both will never forget.
Do you think walking the Camino brought you closer?
Definitely. In the hustle and bustle we find ourselves in today, it is refreshing to spend 5 days on the road with Ellyn, away from email, work phone calls and other distractions. We had only each other for company and that certainly brought us closer.
Would you recommend walking the Camino to other couples?
Walking the Camino on your honeymoon is not going to be easy. But I highly recommend it to couples who are looking for a unique honeymoon experience that they will cherish for the rest of their lives.
Lastly, what was the most romantic spot on the Camino?
The entire Camino really. Walking through the hamlets and witnessing the locals go about their normal day while you are on the road to Santiago has a certain melancholy to it. Meandering through country roads amidst all of nature's greenery is also incredibly romantic. And Santiago de Compostela in Winter, with its snow-covered church rooftops, is indeed a wonderful sight to behold.

I cannot recommend this book enough. It has been a very enjoyable read. It has one of the best explanations of Reformed theology I have ever read and the author also shows an amazing depth of understanding of the sovereignty of God. I have learned a lot in reading this book just about the beauty of Reformed theology not to mention how that plays itself out in the African-American community. It is a must read. Go buy it now and read it.
This book was very convicting. Excellent read.
You can find it here.
Here is a couple excerpts:
"We must not come to the Bible as skeptics, demanding that it satisfy our independent judgement. Rather we must submit to the Bible as our examiner, which reveals our inadequacies of understanding. If we do otherwise, we make the Bible submit to our authority and reason, as if it receives its authority and validation from us. This must not be." — Anthony Carter, "On Being Black and Reformed" pg. 8-9
"The kingdom of God comprises a diversity of people with a common heritage. This heritage is not primarily black, white, red, yellow, or brown, but is a heritage rooted in redemptive history. And the history of redemption is not black history, white history, or African or European history. It is God's history. Therefore any understanding of God's activity in history must begin and end with the fact though the individuals are diverse and varied, the God who sovereignly reigns over history is one and the same. Yesterday, today and forever." — Anthony Carter, "On Being Black and Reformed" pg. 63

I red in themeforest wiki that every item here for sell needs documentation . But what documentation can have Psd file ? What should I write ? I found something about this here :http://themeforest.net/forums/thread/help-file-documentation-problem/13376
Segen says in that thread : " Declare fonts used and links if free. Describe your layer structure. Additionally you can add color codes for design. That's about it. " Can somebody write something more about it?
Write a .txt file or a .html file explaining whoever buys your file how te file is organized and resources you have used in it that are not available in the file he bough:
- The PSD files is well organized in named groups. All layers are named.
-I ahve used several custom fonts that are available at xxx.com
stuff like that…. Mention everything that you find is relevant for the customer
The free file of the month for November was a PSD . The docs just said there is one PSD per page, and the name of the font. I guess that's all you need!

The rope was found ingrown into the animal's neck and her wounds were infected with maggots.
According to the Chester County Sheriff's Office, an investigation was launched on Monday after the Sheriff's Office received a request to have the dog picked up.
Deputies arrived on the scene to find a highly emaciated pit bull-mix named Raven that had been tied to a tree for a period of at least several weeks. A rope that was used to tie up the dog was found to be ingrown into the dog's neck and maggots were found in the animal's festering wounds.
Thomas Boyd, the owner of the home where the dog was found, stated that Bell was his niece and that she brought the dog to his home with the expectation that her brother would come to pick it up.
Investigators say the animal had lost most of her body mass and required surgery to correct damage that was caused by flesh eating maggots that were left untreated. The wounds were reportedly so severe that bone and venous tissue had become exposed.
Bell was booked into jail and charged with ill treatment and abandonment of an animal. Bell's uncle, Thomas Boyd was reportedly cited with a cruelty to animals charge.

You Are Good - Nichole Nordeman and Erin ODonnell
This is from a wonderful compilation CD called "Sing Over Me (Worship Songs and Lullabies)". It contains songs sung by Nichole Nordeman, Janna Long (Avalon), Bethany Dillon, Erin O'Donnell, and Christy Nockels (Watermark). While the background music is somewhat of a lullaby style, the lyrics are for adults, and the music is just as appealing to adults as to babies. After all, my youngest child is 25, so I'm way beyond my lullaby days, but I still enjoy the music. The CD includes some popular worship songs ("How Great Is Our God", "Here I Am To Worship", "Lord You Have My Heart", "We Fall Down", etc, plus some new songs written by the singers on the album. This one is called "You Are Good", written by Nichole Nordeman. The style of this song is perhaps a little bit more lullabyish than other songs on the CD, but it's pretty representative. The CD also makes a great gift for new mothers. (Geez, it sounds like I'm making an infomercial!) Anyway, if you like this song check out the CD.

To sister or not to sister
I'm new to this forum and I'm a DIYer. That last bit got me forever banned on ContractorTalk. :wink:
But it led me here and I'm desperate for some guidance that I don't seem to be able to get on the 'other' forum.
I've been working on a remodel of our home's powder room and foyer. This is mostly tile work but has included plumbing, AC, and other finishing tasks to make it complete.
In any case, the powder room is just about done. Tile is down, sheet rock is ready for paint, and baseboards are cut and coped. Just waiting for arrival of urethane grout that needed to be ordered. If interested, you can read more about it here -
While waiting I've gotten started on the foyer. Removing this slate is so much fun. The slate is bedded in with 1/2" mud and wire mesh.
I will be setting 12" x 12" porcelain tile. The current subfloor is 1/2". I intend to replace it with 3/4" OSB with a yet to be determined underlayment - either Ditra or NobleSeal.
However, I know I have some structural issues. As the following floor plan will point out:
For most of the foyer, I'm good with a joist span under 10.5' but at the far right I have two floor joists that extend 14', which is too long according to Deflecto on the John Bridge forum.
My question is, do I need to sister these two joists or will this be okay as is, because of the support provided by the adjoining joists? I imagine this section is stiffer than it would be if the full foyer had a 14" span but I'm no structural engineer. I'm just guessing. Additionally, the existing slate has been in place for over 40 years. Yes, there are a few loose tiles but this section of the flooring seems to have held up very well given the substandard construction.
I'll sister these two joists if that is the recommendation but I'd rather save the effort if not needed.
Or to provide the rock solid no deflection substrate that tile requires?
This is for tile. I'm laying 12 x 12 porcelain over 3/4" subfloor with Ditra or NobleSeal as the underlayment.
Yes you should sister the joists or build a supporting wall under it, like a closet
You can use smaller joists or even 3/4" ply glued and screwed.
Thanks for your reply! I hadn't considered the ply. That could work too. In any event, I'll sister the joist. A supporting wall would interfere with the basement living space.
I've been doing some more Internet research and starting to question my choice of OSB for the subfloor.
I used OSB in the powder room but I also followed that with 1/2" ply and NobleSeal. I'm trying to keep the height down as the adjoining rooms are oak flooring and I'd like the height difference to be as small as possible.
My original though was to lay down 3/4" Advantec OSB topped with NobleSeal or Ditra. I prefer Ditra but the NobleSeal will keep the height down. In either case, I won't have the second layer of ply causing me to question if I want the OSB between the membrane and the tile?
Would 3/4" ply be a better choice in this situation?
Thanks again.
I don't have a problem with OSB as long as it's a high quality product like Advantec and it's t&g. I don't like the cheapo OSB you find at the big box stores. Most of them are just too porous for me.
Matter of fact, high quality OSB are actually stiffer than plywood subfloors as far as I know.
Given these two options, which would you choose:
1) 19/32" ADVANTECH + Ditra
2) 23/32" ADVANTECH + NobleSeal CIS
I know neither of these are ideal but I'm trying to keep the floor height inline with the adjoining rooms. I'm inclined to go with option 2 although I could still choose to combine the 23/32" ADVANTECH with Ditra but that would put the tile above the hardwood floors. I know I shouldn't worry about this so much but I have to consider the WAF.
what is the size of your floor joists and their spacing?
I'd use the 23/32" if possible
not knowing your species of wood I calculated based upon spruce-pine-fir and by sistering (2)2x8 together you'll be right at the minimum deflection limit (about L/358) for total load. depending on your perception it may be a little bouncy.
then you'll be better than you are currently
When ceramic tiles were installed using the good old fashioned mud method, the bathroom threshold was about 1.5" higher than the hallway subfloor. Today an 1/8" matters? This is residential, not commercial where some people are looking for a way to trip.
But I recognize I have to compromise so I'm trying to understand the trade-offs I'm making.
I've ordered the 23/32" ADVANTECH. Wish it would be delivered tomorrow but there is this little storm bearing down on us that will probably interfere with the delivery. So no work on the subfloor this weekend.
I still need to decide on NobleSeal or Ditra for the underlayment.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Thank you for using Just Answer.
Tell your mother-in-law to not report the sale of her main home on a tax return unless she had a gain and at least part of it is taxable. Report any taxable gain on Schedule D (Form 1040).
If you have a gain from the sale of your main home, you may be able to exclude up to $250,000 of the gain from your income.
In short your mother-in-law can exclude the money she received for her home as long as she
As far as the IRA that was distributed, you do not mention the source of her income. If it is social security then she is not required to file but would wan to file if any withholding were shown against the IRA.
I sincerely XXXXX XXXXX information is helpful,
Hello again,
If her income is coming from the same sources as before and she was not required to file then her status is the same.
I mentioned in my prior message that if her $14000 comes from SSA then that amount will not make her need to file. If any taxes have been withheld then she should file to get them back as a refund.
Tell me the sources of her income and the exact amounts and I will use an estimator to advise.
Thanks again,
Social security: $13,992
deceased husband's pension: $2,293
Pension: $541
proceeds from sale of house: $41,000
IRA RMD disbursement(not sure the exact nature of the IRA): $1147
Interest from CD: $1400
Based on the information you have supplied she would have no tax liability and would not be required to file.
Again I stress, if any of the pension information shows withholding, then she would want to file to get that money refunded to her.
Just make sure she keeps all her information for 2009 ( all the 1099Rs and SSA form) in an envelope so if questioned later the facts would show this.

Daryl Johnston and Craig James have so many things in common it is only natural they support each other.
Both are former running backs from Texas who went into broadcasting. But while Johnston is still with Fox, James left the business to run for an open Senate seat in Texas.
CRAIG JAMES: RB ready to occupy 'Real Street'
CRAIG JAMES: Senate candidate says gays will 'answer to the lord'
Johnston has switched his endorsement from former Dallas mayor Tom Leppert to James telling the Dallas Morning News that "I knew him as a man. I knew him as a husband and father. I've always respected his integrity. And I really, really respect him for doing this. When we talk, we come from the same perspective. So for me, it was pretty simple."

Nestlé Malta catering division wins 300 clients in first year
And despite the challenges the sector faces this year, the first quarter looks equally promising, Mr Borg added.
He explained that the dedicated catering arm of Nestlé Malta's sprawling local operation, has managed to make such inroads locally primarily thanks to its ability to meet the varying demands of its diversified client base.
"We strive to be competitive," Mr Borg pointed out. "We cater for the exigent five-star hotels and the equally demanding pâtissière at a smaller outfit. Most importantly, we are present as Nestlé. We are not agents - we are partners to the industry, and taking advantage of our background abroad, we manage to have tailor-made solutions to our clients."
Nestlé Professional's range includes breakfast concept items, cooking aids for chefs and pâtissières, confectionery, mini bar stock and mineral waters. The portfolio bears some of the leading food group's brands: Nescafé, Nestlé Fitness, Perugina, Baci, Maggi, San Pellegrino, and Acqua Panna. Nestlé Professional Malta has a dedicated sales team of three and is currently recruiting to beef the team up to five.
The alternative trade channel's first business arose when Nestlé brought Motta ice-cream and later the premium Antica Gelateria del Corso range to Malta. The products helped the business break the ice with major local hotels and catering facilities. Spurred by the initial success, the business continued to grow and the portfolio expanded.
Nestlé Professional has set itself two specific targets this year: to enlarge its client base and to consolidate its existing brands. Mr Borg is mindful of the difficulties facing the catering and tourism industry particularly this year, but believes 2009 could be an opportunity to sow the seeds for repeat business.
"The challenge this year is to reduce the cost base without sacrificing quality," he explained. "But it is also a time to think positive and to focus on offering a quality product as an industry. Even if smaller volumes are attracted, they could be enough to consolidate business for next year.
"The industry understands that Nestlé Professional strives to support the industry in this critical year - we will work to be more convenient and economical."
Nestlé Professional was established as a globally managed business unit last year with full balance sheet responsibility as of last January 1. The Swiss food group said the unit witnessed organic growth of 6.1 per cent and sales of CHF6.2 billion.
The Nestlé brand first came to Malta in 1923.

The Essay is a daily personal piece submitted by readers. Have a story to tell? See our guidelines at tgam.ca/essayguide.
I'm not thinking of school shootings as my husband, Josh, and I walk our kids to school. I'm just reminding myself to buy bananas and some fun napkins for tonight's dinner party. But first I have my volunteer shift reading with the Grade 2s.
Josh and our daughter, Rose, head to her kindergarten class. While I remind our son, Jake, to give his Grade 1 teacher his skating permission slip, the secretary announces there will be a Code Red drill today. Had I been listening, I would have felt reassured that the school is preparing for a crisis of that magnitude. But I am not listening.
I kiss Jake goodbye and march straight to the resource room for my reading shift. It's 9:10 a.m.
I check my roster for the day: Theresa, Andrew and Lenny, our seven-year-old neighbour and friend.
I read alone with each child, starting with Theresa, a new arrival to Canada. She learns the words "slide" and "swings." I have trouble conversing with Andrew, a sweet ESL student from China, but his reading is surprisingly decent.
Then it's Lenny's turn. Lenny and I are halfway through Spider-Man – The Amazing Story when, without fanfare, the principal announces, "The school is in Code Red. This is a Code Red school lockdown." It's 10:16 a.m.
My brain tells me this cannot possibly be true but I have to look at the facts:
1) The principal has announced a Code Red school lockdown.
2) Principals don't joke about Code Reds.
This is real.
Two years ago, Yvonne, the volunteer co-ordinator, briefed me on Code Reds. "If the principal announces a Code Red, it means there is an imminent safety threat inside the school. Lock the door, turn off the lights and hide with the children," she said.
I walk to our classroom door, kick the door jamb up and close the door. There is no lock. I turn off the lights. "Okay, Lenny, this is going to be a bit weird but we're going to hide," I say.
Lenny, whose impish eyes are always smiling, complies easily. I direct him to an opening between two bookcases and right behind the door frame leading into our room. He crouches close to the wall beside me. The "killer" will only see us if he comes right into our room, in which case I will fight him to the death.
We wait in silence. I am on the school's third floor. Rose is on the second floor. Jake is on the ground floor. I need to let Josh, working from home one block away, know what's happening.
With wild eyes (I'm guessing – only Lenny knows for sure) and shaking fingers, I send Josh four texts: Code red at school. Call 911. In lockdown with Lenny in classroom. Love you. It's 10:17 a.m.
I worry that I am freaking Lenny out.
"Are you excited about Santa Claus coming?" I whisper. "Would you like to play hockey with us during the Christmas holidays?" I don't really listen to either answer.
No reply from Josh yet. I set my phone to vibrate. The school is still silent. We wait.
The principal's voice comes on the loudspeaker again. "The school is in Code Green," she says. Thank God. My beautiful, comforting routine, and life, continue rolling along.
I text Josh, "All good now." It's 10:19 a.m. In only three minutes, my imagination went on quite a trip.
"I have to call Josh," I say. My poor husband … if he even got my texts.
"Hi, it's me," I say. "It's Code Green. Everything's fine."
"It was a drill!" he tells me.
"It was a drill?!" I ask, incredulous.
"It was a drill," Lenny adds.
"You knew it was a drill?!!!!!" I bark at Lenny.
"Where are you?" I ask Josh.
"I'm walking home from the school."
"What happened?" I ask.
"I ran to the school and it was dead quiet. I sneaked in and saw the janitor strolling down the hallway. I waved him over and whispered, 'Is it in lockdown?'" he recounts. "He said, 'It's a drill.' I said, 'I don't think so. I just got a text from my wife …' He laughed and assured me it's a drill."
"Oh boy … Did you call 911?" I sheepishly ask. He didn't.
"Why not?" I ask, relieved though slightly offended that he didn't call. I wonder if he took it seriously.
"Are you kidding me? When I got the texts, I grabbed my phone and ran to the school. I thought about getting our baseball bat but I didn't have time. What if there was a shooter? I am the first responder!"
I am shocked by his intense response. But I consider the facts he faced: "Code Red at school." The school every member of his family was in. "Call 911".
The embarrassment I feel for not knowing this was a drill is matched only by the love I feel from his reaction. For an agonizing 180 seconds, we were alone in this together. Isolated, but completely united. Me and him against an imagined grim reaper.
I feel part fool, part heroine, praying for a Code Green world.
The names of students have been changed.

Hayden-Harnett Bernadette Signature Trench
Boyish construction but for the girly get-up.
The idea of a double flap bag is fantastic and it's nice to see it executed so well.
I am in love with the trapezoidal shape and the Hayden-Harnett logo. This is such a great product and another pleasant surprise that Target teamed up with Brooklyn duo Hayden-Harnett to produce such unique items.
Super cute ...and it seems that my $2 umbrellas are no longer cutting it, so this one is perfect. Hayden-Harnett for Target Umbrella, $22.99 at TargetTags: accessories, flowers, print, umbrellas, rain gear, Target, hayden-harnett, cold weather, haydenAdded 9 Years Ago from Target
If you're trying to update your look without spending too much money, try adding a modern accessory like this clip-on tassel to your favorite handbag. Very chic, and nowhere near the purchase of a brand new bag!Added 9 Years Ago from Hayden-Harnett

Brickwall Firm: Dynamo Support Group Madly Backtracks from Homophobic Twitter Remarks
Brickwall Firm: We didn't write it, honest.
The Dynamo's outreach to the GLBT community -- we assume they have one of sorts -- has hit another snag with homophobic tweets from one of the supporter groups that works closely with the team.
Someone with control of the Brickwall Firm's twitter account apparently doesn't like Landon Donovan; the tweeter's relationship to gays is more confused but ultimately comes down on the side of "aggressively homophobic (and stupid)."
The tweets about the LA Galaxy player have been taken down, but have been preserved in various spots of the Internet, where nothing dies. Among the highlights:
-- "Donovan is a faggot. Brickwall don't give a shit about PC."
-- "For the record, Brickwall loves homosexuals ... but hate faggots. If that offends you, you're probably a faggot."
Like we say, it's a somewhat confused theory.
Dynamo officials weren't happy, and called the group's leaders onto the carpet. Major League Soccer also expressed its unhappiness.
The Dynamo's quick reaction to the incident might be tied to the bad publicity they got a year ago when Colin Clark was caught live on TV calling a ballboy a "faggot" during a match. Clark, who is now with the Galaxy, was suspended for three days.
Brickwall immediately began backtracking. A multi-tweet statement read:
The Brickwall Firm is strongly opposed to any and all biased or ignorant statements that recently appeared on our Twitter feed...The posts in question were in no way any sort of official or condoned statement. We are actively rectifying the situation, and are dedicated[...]To more closely monitoring statements made by individuals purporting to speak for the group. Homophobia and racism are not a part of our...Agenda, nor anything to do with the atmosphere, culture, and community that we support. Our apologies to @HoustonDynamo , and the soccer supporters community at large.
The four supporting clubs of the Dynamo -- Brickwall Firm, El Batallón, Texian Army and La Bateria -- work out of the endzone at BBVA Compass Stadium and chant, sing and yell. The rowdiness has been turned down some since the Robertson Stadium days, but there are still or have been conflicts between groups, between the team and the groups, and between the groups and the league.

Re: "Alternating" function
What about using Fold?
Fold[x + #2*f[#1] & , x, Table[(-1)^i, {i, 5}]]
x - f[x + f[x - f[x + f[x - f[x]]]]]

I want to make a "nested function" like: x + f[x - f[x + f[x - f[x +
I've tried using Nest but I don't find how to keep switching between
Plus and Minus: I would need something that would return an "index" so
I could keep track of when I need to "switch" the operation. (e.g. if
the "index" is odd, the operation is "Plus", otherwise is "Minus")
How can I make this? I looked in the help but didn't find any informations.

Despite the peace and quiet of having the apartment to myself, I can't wait until Moore and Pooz get back from Atlanta because I'm so tired right now. Having shifted from a 1-10 schedule to a 9-6 schedule, while in the middle of working a full week in a row (and 9 of 10 days total) is exhausting. Plus, I need the time off that's coming at the end of this week to go get my car fix. The hood is loose, and though the front latch seems to be holding OK, I'm afraid it could come loose while driving, which would be bad for everyone involved.
Still, there is some good news. I got a new cell phone, which is freakin' awesome. Seriously, I never realized how nice having a bluetooth headset could be until I got this phone (the Verizon Motorola v710). Now I'm hooked on using the headset. The phone is nice itself too. It syncs with iSync (though not over bluetooth, due to a Verizon firmware lockout) and it takes pictures and movies. In fact, I took a little movie of Lilah today when I stopped by the house. I also bought some nice ringtones for it, though they were damn expensive. It was cheaper to buy them in bulk though (bulk being seven) so I did that and found some I can rotate through, rather than buying one for $2 and another one later on when I get sick of it.
Now that I have a phone with a camera in it (commonly called a cameraphone) I'll be able to take pictures of cool stuff when I see it (the CoolPix 995 isn't the most convinient camera to carry around at all times) so I may have more pictures on the site in the near future (not even counting the pictures on BlackOpsHQ.com, which now forwards to its own page).
In other super awesome news, Alias Season 3 comes out on DVD Tuesday, which should give me plenty to do when I have three straight days off and my car is in the shop. Sure, Season 3 wasn't the best in terms of storytelling, but it was extra-Sark filled, and the unintentional comedy is off the scale, with the continued ineptness of the people who are supposed to represent America's intelligence agents. Oh, and Punisher comes out on DVD too, and I'll probably end up getting it, even though I didn't find it as good as it should have been. Honestly, it just boils down to the fact that he didn't kill enough people in the movie. The real Punisher (and yes, I know he's a fictional character, but still) would kill more than eight people in getting vengeance for his family's death.
Oh, and I love the sight of that little countdown clock to the right. It's almost time for NFL season and I'm psyched. Now if Cox can somehow get WTNH-DT live before Thursday night, I'd be more psyched, because then I could watch the NFL opener in high def.
That's it for now. Tune in tomorrow for new Versus and DGOW, as well as regularly scheduled rants.
