In one complete volume, here are the five classic novels from Douglas Adams's beloved Hitchhiker series.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Seconds before the Earth is demolished for a galactic freeway, Arthur Dent is saved by Ford Prefect, a researcher for the revised Guide. Together they stick out their thumbs to the stars and begin a wild journey through time and space.
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
Facing annihilation at the hands of warmongers is a curious time to crave tea. It could only happen to the cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his comrades as they hurtle across the galaxy in a desperate search for a place to eat.

The unhappy inhabitants of planet Krikkit are sick of looking at the night sky– so they plan to destroy it. The universe, that is. Now only five individuals can avert Armageddon: mild-mannered Arthur Dent and his stalwart crew.
So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish
Back on Earth, Arthur Dent is ready to believe that the past eight years were all just a figment of his stressed-out imagination. But a gift-wrapped fishbowl with a cryptic inscription conspires to thrust him back to reality. So to speak.
Mostly Harmless
Just when Arthur Dent makes the terrible mistake of starting to enjoy life, all hell breaks loose. Can he save the Earth from total obliteration? Can he save the Guide from a hostile alien takeover? Can he save his daughter from herself?

text: REIT returns to remain attractive, fuelled by low rates and solid fundamentals TORONTO, April 10, 2013 /CNW/ - Canada's commercial real estate sector and REIT investment market appear set to outperform for a fifth-straight year, according to CIBC World Markets Inc. "All of the fundamentals seem to be supporting [the] continuation of [an] extended recovery" from the market lows of 2008, says Allan Kimberley, Vice-Chairman, Real Estate Investment Banking at CIBC. In a series of notes released today at the bank's 18 th annual real estate conference in Toronto, CIBC says low interest rates, the continued availability of equity and debt, and healthy supply-demand fundamentals have set up Canada's real estate capital markets for another strong year. These conditions are relatively unchanged from 2012 which saw "record levels of new issuance, total returns exceeding those of the broader S&P/TSX Composite index, a growing list of IPO and M&A activity, against a backdrop of declining volatility," says Mr. Kimberley. Alex Avery, a CIBC Equity Analyst who covers the commercial real estate sector, also sees favourable property and REIT market conditions continuing in 2013, with one caveat. "While current real estate and REIT investment market conditions remain highly attractive in many respects, property and REIT pricing have risen largely to reflect the favourable current environment. We expect attractive returns from Canadian REITs in 2013, but more modest than seen in recent years." Mr. Avery says returns from REITs in 2013 will be driven by attractive distribution yields and modest further appreciation in unit prices. Over the next 12-18 months he's forecasting returns to "average 5-10 per cent, comprising close to 6 per cent in average yield and 0-5 per cent in capital appreciation." REITs most likely to outperform will be ones that deliver the highest funds from operations (FFO) growth, he says.

Indian Ocean isles eye tourism rebound in 2010
By Richard Lough
ANTANANARIVO (Reuters) - The Indian Ocean's luxury island destinations eye a tourism rebound in 2010 after receipts fell sharply last year despite better than expected arrival numbers.
The azure waters and palm-fringed beaches of Mauritius and the Seychelles may be among the world's top holiday spots, but the global downturn still forced the rivals to slash prices to keep market share.
"The visibility that we have for the first three or four months of 2010 is quite positive and encouraging. It seems people have started to travel more," Patrice Legris, head of the Mauritius Association of Hoteliers and Restaurateurs (AHRIM), told Reuters.
Mauritius posted record visitor numbers in December, boosting 2009's overall tourist arrivals which reached 871,356, down 6.5 percent on the previous year.
But Legris said he expected tourism receipts to be down by 13 to 15 percent on 2008 because of a strong local unit and aggressive discounting.
AHRIM's data showed tourism accounted for 7.4 percent of GDP in 2009, against 9.4 percent and 8.7 percent in 2007 and 2008 respectively.
Revenue falls are set to be more severe in the Seychelles where 2009 receipts are expected to sink by up to 20 percent from more than $320 million a year earlier -- key for a nation whose entire gross domestic product is below a billion dollars.

AGA Stoves employ the latest technology to ensure clean, efficient burning. Their cast iron construction helps retain and radiate the heat and Active Airflow Technology helps to keep the glass clear so you can see, as well as feel, the warmth.
Back to top
Using Your Stove For Best Efficiency
It's important to try and match your stove's output to the room size - too small and you won't be warm enough, too big and your stove will have to be run on a lower setting to prevent the room getting too hot. This means it will be less efficient and you will also get more 'sooting' on the door glass.
Delivery and installation is not included in our prices and it's important to have your stove installed properly.
It's particularly important to have a good flue (a liner is always recommended in an existing masonry chimney) that terminates above the highest point of the building (or an adjacent building if there are any close by). The flue should be correctly sized for the appliance and should be vertical with as few bends as possible. Manufacturer's instructions (for the stove and flue system) should always be followed.
Ventilation and fresh air are also very important considerations when any open flued appliance is installed - getting this wrong can lead to Carbon Monoxide poisoning.
Fresh air is required to allow the correct operation and 'complete combustion' of whatever fuel is being burnt. Some stoves have a requirement in their installation instructions for a certain size of air vent and others (below a certain threshold) may not.
If you have other appliances in the same or an adjacent room (or machines like extract fans or tumble dryers that also take air to outside) this can mean an air vent is necessary even if the standard installation instructions don't specify one.
(An extract fan is not an air vent - it works in the opposite way by taking air to outside rather than allowing it in; if you have an extractor in the same or an adjacent room you will need a bigger air vent to ensure enough fresh air is in the room for the stove to burn properly and safely.)
Flue Pipe
AGA make matching cast iron pipe and bends for the stoves, in suitable sizes (125mm / 5" or 150mm / 6") and in either matt black cast finish, or in gloss black enamel finish.
We stock some of the more popular lengths and sizes and can get others to order.

We've made a solid start to our Twenty20 campaign, with two wins from our opening three matches.
With a home game against Sussex tonight and another against Middlesex on Friday, we have a great chance to put ourselves in a strong position in the South Group.
Then, for one game only, it's back to Championship cricket with a match against Nottinghamshire, starting on Monday at The Kia Oval. Having drawn seven of our nine matches, we're desperate to get that first win but I have noticed a change in the development of first-class matches this summer, due to the revised rules regarding the use of the heavy roller.
From 2010 until 2012, it was used on the wicket just once, before the start of the match.
This summer, we're back to the position of 2009, meaning the captain can call for the heavy roller after each innings.
This has improved conditions for batting and it's no coincidence that there have been a number of draws in the Championship this season. The heavy roller is preventing pitches from deteriorating and if anything, conditions are actually better for batting in the third and fourth innings than the first and second.
Since it's hard to achieve positive results under these circumstances, I believe some counties are preparing sub‑standard pitches to give them a better chance of winning matches.
I think teams should play on good pitches that deteriorate slightly over the course of four days and because of that, I would not have brought back the heavy roller.
It flattens the tiny indentations that the ball makes on the pitch, which stops inconsistent bounce on days three and four, which you want to happen.
It takes the life out of the pitch and reduces the effect spinners can have later in games. Though it is used in international cricket and the thinking is perhaps to recreate in the first-class game the conditions that you might find in a Test, if I'm being honest, I don't think it's helping anybody.
We need to play consistently on wickets that promote all facets of the game if the County Championship is to produce England cricketers.
Batsmen need to learn to cope with swing, seam and spin and bowlers need to learn how to react when conditions become easier for batting.
So ideally, you'd have swing and seam early in the match, then a period when it becomes flatter, followed by a gradual deterioration, so the spinners can profit from the inconsistent bounce and exert an influence.
If that happens, I'm convinced very good cricketers will emerge and I hope there will be a change in policy sooner rather than later.
T20 Cricket returns to the Kia Oval this week with Surrey v Sussex at 6.30pm tonight and then the London derby v Middlesex on Friday at 6.30pm. Tickets are still available at kiaoval.com

Defect-mediated lattice relaxation and domain stability in ferroelectric oxides
5 December 2012
A. V. Kimmel, P. M. Weaver, M. G. Cain, P. V. Sushko
Physical Review Letters, 109, 117601 (2012)
The mechanical, optical, thermal, and magnetic properties of materials are strongly affected and, sometimes, dominated by point defects and their complexes. In ferroic materials, changes of the ferroelectric, dielectric, and piezoelectric properties, which either occur spontaneously or accumulate in the course of numerous ferroelectric axis switching events, have been attributed to the presence of defects.
Here we consider oxygen vacancies in tetragonal ferroelectric perovskites (general formula ABO3, see Figure to the right). The oxygen axial sites located in the B-O-B chains, oriented along the tetragonal (polar) axis c, and the oxygen equatorial sites located in the BO2 planes perpendicular to this axis, are not equivalent. Consequently, the oxygen vacancies at these sites, referred to as axial (Vax) and equatorial (Veq ) vacancies, are not isoenergetic and they induce strong site-specific lattice relaxation.
The mechanisms of the transformation between the vacancy's stable (Vax) and metastable (Veq) configurations are examined using the density functional theory. Upon switching the polar axis by 90 degrees the axial vacancy becomes equatorial and vice versa.
Our results suggest that two equatorial vacancy stabilization scenarios are possible in this case: (i) diffusion of the vacancy from the metastable to the stable site and (ii) rotation of the polar axis near the vacancy. The interplay between these scenarios is determined by the vacancy diffusion rate and the energy of the 90 degree domain walls. Optimizing these properties by judicious materials design can help to produce better ferroelectrics and exploit defects in order to maximize piezoelectric response.

(R-SC), chair of the Senate Steering Committee, a caucus of
conservative senators, argued that "freedom solutions will work...in

US Online Holiday Sales Grow At A Double-Digit Pace For The Third Consecutive Year
Posted by Sucharita Mulpuru on November 25, 2013
Forrester's "US Online Holiday Retail Forecast, 2013" launches today. In it, we predict that for the third consecutive year, online holiday sales (November and December) are expected to grow at a double-digit pace and pull in over $78 billion. This represents about one-third of the overall retail sales volume for the year. This optimism is largely due to ever-increasing numbers of consumers choosing the Web over physical stores and the rise in mobile commerce. Despite unknowns such as the effects of a truncated holiday season and lingering consumer uncertainty around the federal government shutdown, online retailers can expect that consumers will be out in droves. The most successful retailers this holiday season will cater to consumers who:
- Expect free shipping in some form. Consumers have come to expect free shipping, especially during the holidays, and many will actually leave a site if it's not offered. It's the second most common reason why US online buyers abandon purchases and go to another retailer, behind price.
- Research via all channels to find the best deals. Forrester expects that, not unlike in holidays past, price and saving money will be key considerations this holiday season. As the Web channel has become synonymous with value, retailers should expect consumers to be avidly searching for deals through a variety of touchpoints, at home and in-store on mobile devices. Availability of web content across devices will be critical: Forrester estimates that cross-channel sales (transactions that are influenced by the Web in some way but are completed in stores) will account for $247 billion this holiday season.
- Shop online on key holiday dates. In 2012, web traffic to the top 500 retailers on Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday grew steadily, with each garnering over 190 million online shoppers, representing the top three traffic days of the year. While Cyber Monday continues to be the apex of holiday traffic (206.8 million online shoppers), historically smaller online shopping dates like Free Shipping Day also saw significant traffic boosts over 2011.
How do you succeed in such a competitive holiday arena? Read the full report here for more information on this year's holiday trends and on what retail eBusiness professionals can do to capitalize on (what can be) the most wonderful time of the year.
Web to Store
Comment from Akin Tosyali on Thu, 01/16/2014 - 17:19
While many folks look at the simple online revenue number, we all know that there is a large portion of in store traffic that was affected by online assets of a brand. So while e commerce is 8% of all commerce, I believe the overall revenue generated by online efforts is much larger. How does Forrester approach measuring the web to store sales?

How do I do very big integer computing by Mathematica?
I'm going to search big Fibonacci prime numbers. I think there is a
simple primality test algorithm for Fibonacci number, like Lucas=96
Lehmer primality test for 2^n-1 . I'm lazy and don't want to write
many codes. So i want to ask:
pt=Mod[s[p-2], 2^p-1]==0
how do I compute s[43,112,609-2] directly? It seems the largest
integer in M~ is 2^32^32, isn't it?

text: I have a problem believing that the Government is out to take (besides a minor majorityof politician wackos that think this way) or has the ability to take our weapons. Is this the same government that couldn't even organize a good relief effort in New Orleans (very tiny compared to taking guns) or the same country that thought that Saddam had WMD (that we are still looking for i suppose) right before we attacked it or the same country that can't find one man (Bin Laden) but we the people (some not all) believe that they can come and get our guns. I am not naive nor am I paranoid I just don't think it can happen and "no" the gun confiscation in Germany was not even close to what this task would be for a government that is in debt and would have a hard time justifying spending alot of money on gun confiscation to we the people. I think that the american people have learned from confiscations in history (Stalin/Hitler) and would never let it happen. Please help me understand?

Islamabad (Dawn/ANN) - The Pakistan military hierarchy will see reshuffle in a phased manner and before the end of this year more than half of the formations will have new faces as their commanders.
The shuffling, described by a military officer as a routine process, will happen because of the impending retirement of six three-star generals and a number of others completing their tenures on command or staff positions.
Corps formations in Rawalpindi, Lahore, Multan and Gujranwala are due to get new commanders.
The commander for Karachi Corps has already been named (Lt-Gen Ejaz Chaudhry) following the incumbent Lt-Gen Zahirul Islam's appointment as the director-general of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
Therefore, out of the nine corps formations, five will have new commanders.
Additionally, though already publicly announced, the premier spy agency would have a new leader in the shape of Gen Zahir in place of retiring Lt-Gen Ahmed Shuja Pasha.
The strategic planning division is also due for a change of guard.
With all these changes happening over the summer, it wouldn't be an overstatement to say that the country is set to have a new look in the top national security team.
One of the high-profile changes being expected is that of Chief of General Staff (CGS) Lt Gen Waheed Arshad, who may be posted out as a corps commander.
Gen Arshad, who has been in this position since Oct 2010, is being tipped as the next Multan corps commander.
Others say he could be given the Gujranwala command, which according to one insider, under the initial scheme of things, was to be taken up by Quartermaster General Lt Gen Sajjad Ghani.
Gen Arshad is in turn likely to be replaced by one of his deputies, Vice Chief of General Staff (VCGS) Lt Gen Nasir Janjua.
Gen Janjua was recently promoted as a three-star general and is awaiting posting, pending which he continues to serve as VCGS.
The Multan posting is to fall vacant with the retirement of Lt Gen Shafqaat Ahmed, the former military secretary to ex-president Gen Pervez Musharraf, in November. Therefore, the Multan posting would be the last in the reshuffle.
Rawalpindi Corps Commander Lt Gen Khalid Nawaz, who has previously headed the Quetta Staff College, is being considered for appointment as president of the National Defence University. The NDU post will fall vacant with retirement of Lt Gen Agha Mohammad Umer Farooq in July.
The Rawalpindi Corps is considered to be one of the most strategically important formations, primarily because its area of responsibility also includes Jammu and Kashmir.
Inspector General (training and evaluation) Lt Gen Muzamil Hussain is tipped to head the Rawalpindi Corps once Gen Nawaz moves out.
Gen Hussain has earlier served as Force Commander Northern Areas, which, though technically a division subordinate to the Rawalpindi Corps, is considered an independent corps-equivalent command.
Lahore Corps Commander Lt Gen Rashad Mahmood could be posted out as one of the principal staff officers at the General Headquarters. Likewise, Adjutant General Lt Gen Javed Iqbal is due for a command posting.
At strategic planning division, which is responsible for the management and administration of the country's tactical and strategic nuclear weapons stockpile, Lt Gen Khalid Kidwai is being rumoured to make way for the retiring spymaster Gen Pasha.
The generals retiring this year include: Inspector General Communications and IT Lt Gen Tanvir Tahir (March 15), ISI director-general Lt Gen Ahmed Shuja Pasha (March 18), deputy chairman of Earthquake Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Authority Lt Gen Sardar Mehmood Ali (April), NDU president Lt Gen Agha Mohammad Umer Farooq (July), Heavy Industries Taxila chairman Lt Gen Ayaz Saleem Rana (October) and Multan Corps Commander Lt Gen Shafqaat Mehmood (November).
Air Defence Commander Lt Gen Owais Ghani has already retired this month.

Oracle's Responsys Acquisition: An Excuse To Tell You About Some New Research!
Posted by Corinne Munchbach on December 23, 2013
- 21 Recommendations
- 0 comments
On Friday, December 20, Oracle announced the $1.5 billion acquisition of campaign management vendor, Responsys. On Wednesday December 11, I published a report called "The Rise Of Customer Life-Cycle Marketing Systems" (subscription required) in which we define an emerging category of technology vendors who provide:
"A central technology hub that allows marketers to manage every interaction between the company and its customers as they progress along the customer life cycle."
There is a diverse group of vendors vying to become customer life-cycle marketing systems (CLCMS) providers, in large part due to demand from marketers to reduce complexity in their technology roster and help them make the shift from the marketing funnel to a customer life-cycle-driven discipline. Friday's not-especially-unexpected news from Oracle further reinforces the conclusions in our report. The press release succinctly makes the point:
"The addition of Responsys extends Oracle's Customer Experience Cloud, which includes Commerce, Sales, Service, Social, and the Oracle Marketing Cloud. By bringing together Responsys and Oracle Eloqua in the Marketing Cloud, for the first time CMOs that support industries with B2C or B2B business models will be equipped to drive exceptional customer experiences across marketing interactions and through the customer lifecycle from a single platform."
Take the claims of integration into a "single platform" with a massive grain of salt; this is about ambition and not accomplishment. But as I point out in the report, we expect vendors to use their product development and acquisition strategies to fill in their current gaps and make integration a top priority. Oracle's move puts it one step closer to becoming a legitimate CLCMS provider.
To read more about Forrester's take on the Oracle acquisition of Responsys, look for analysis from my colleague Rob Brosnan (start here). Forrester clients can access the new report here.
I will be continuing this research stream next year, so if you have thoughts/opinions/feedback/questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. A particular thanks to my research peers David Cooperstein and Alex Hayes for getting this report done.
I wish you all a joyous holiday season and a happy new year, and I look forward to connecting in 2014!

First, SELF contributing editors Stephanie Clarke and Willow Jarosh, registered dietitians and co-founders of C&J Nutrition, gave us these tips to tame Easter candy overload this Sunday:
1. Look for candy that is made without partially hydrogenated oils, which is code for trans fats.
2. Eat ONLY what you love. Don't take a bite out of something you're pretty sure you'll be lukewarm about "just to see if you like it" — you'll probably end up eating most of it, and not loving it.
3. If you're trying to lose weight, keep your treats to 150 calories or below. If you're maintaining your weight, stick to 200 calories.
4. If you've got leftovers, portion out a few treats for the next couple of days, then get rid of the extras by donating them, bringing them to work or tossing them in the trash!
Now — the good stuff: How much can you eat? Here are some calorie-controlled portions of your favorite Easter candy:
- 2 Dark Chocolate Covered Peeps: 110 calories
- 4 Peeps: 128 calories
- 35 Jelly Belly jelly beans: 140 calories
- 3 Tbsp of M&M's Chocolate Candies Bunny Mix, Peanut: 154 calories
- 3 Dark Chocolate Lindt Mini Gold Bunnies: 150 calories
- Half of a 3.5 oz Lindt Dark Chocolate Bunny (regular size): 115 calories
- 3 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Miniatures Pastels: 132 calories
- 1 Reese's Peanut Butter Egg: 180 calories
- 10 Cadbury Mini Eggs: 158 calories
- 1 Cadbury Creme Egg: 150 calories
Make sure you pass this info along to the Easter Bunny!

U.S. Sen. David Vitter (R-La.), top Republican of the Environment and Public Works Committee, made the following statement regarding today's announcement by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding the 2013 Renewable Fuels Standards (RFS) and the required volume obligation for cellulosic biofuel. Last week, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated EPA's unrealistic 2012 projection for cellulosic biofuel production.
"The EPA continues to make up unicorn-like standards in this area of renewable fuels production, and clearly are ignoring last week's appellate court ruling," Vitter said. "EPA has been getting away with mandating exaggerated fuel standards based on a pie in the sky wish, and even after last week's embarrassing loss, they persevere in ignoring the cold hard facts. Increasing the standard after their 2012 requirements were vacated is beyond ludicrous, and they continue to force refiners to either purchase even more gallons of product that doesn't exist or pay a fine."
Under the Renewable Fuels Standard, the mandated amount of cellulosic biofuel determines how much refiners, importers, and blenders must use or purchase credits for each year to comply with the law. For 2013, the U.S. Energy Information Administration projected 9.6 million gallons of potential production. EPA's proposed volumetric requirement for cellulosic biofuel for 2013 is 14 million ethanol equivalent gallons. The production for the last three years has been virtually zero.
Last week, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit found that EPA was projecting far too much production of cellulosic biofuel for 2012. In vacating EPA's 2012 projection of cellulosic biofuel production, the Court found that the RFS program, as amended in 2007, would need to be based on what will actually happen versus a prediction. The Court found EPA's estimations of growth in the cellulosic biofuel industry did not align with how the Renewable Fuels Standard law is written.
Today, EPA also proposed a process for addressing the fraudulent sales of Renewable Fuel Identification Numbers (RINs) occurring in the area of biomass based diesel. Approximately 140 million fraudulent RINs have been discovered and a careful examination of EPA's proposal is necessary to guarantee that the generation and sale of fraudulent RINs does not continue.
Earlier this week, Energy Trends Insider published "Why I Don't Ride a Unicorn to Work," which compares EPA's cellulosic ethanol blends to requiring automakers to sell unicorns.

Here is the scenario mentioned by my DBA. We are using Oracle 10g R2. Maybe we will upgrade to Oracle 11g. My implementation in Oracle 10g is based on DBMS_SCHEDULER.
i)Are you always using Data Pump Utility for Export? Kindly provide me the exact command or statement used if you are executing from command-line. Do you specify EXCLUDE parameter if you want to exclude any of the tables or objects? Do you use MetaData filters available in Data Pump?
ii)Regarding the database mode during export or backup, do you use read-only mode or open mode restricted or quiesced mode?
iii)Kindly specify the exact error message displayed during export.
iv)Based on the database mode used and the error displayed, is it related to redo logs or changes in tables during export using expdp?
i)Expdp parfile=expdp_xx.par
Where expdp_xx.par contains
parallel=4 <- we tried with or without this parameter as well.
ii) Database is running in regular open mode (open for business for all users) while we are running the exp or expdp process.
iii). No error displayed. It just keep running with no end in site.
iv). No.. Oracle tracing saw a repeated sql running on the a table created by expdp process for RULE/RULE SET Objects.
Kindly suggest the steps required to handle the creation of RULE/RULE SET Objects during expdp process. These RULE/RULE SET Objects are created during the creation of CHAIN_RULE objects. My implementation is verifying multi-threading in DBMS_SCHEDULER. We want to check the basic functionalities provided by DBMS_SCHEDULER first. Hence EVENT_CONDITION and QUEUE_SPEC are ruled out. Instead of EVENT_CONDITION, we are using condition attribute of DEFINE_CHAIN_STEP. So jobs are created every second verifying whether the condition attribute of DEFINE_CHAIN_STEP is satisfied. The jobs create chains and hence rules and rule set objects are created.
Given the above scenario, kindly indicate to me how to complete expdp process and how to avoid the RULE/RULE SET Objects creation hampering the expdp process.
3. Re: Expdp Scheduler objects Open mode Redo logsspajdy Dec 21, 2012 10:00 AM (in response to RRSOra?)When you creating job every second, then you don't need export them.
So add EXCLUDE to par file.
this exclude all Scheduler objects
exclude=RULE SET,RULE,JOB,PROGRAM,JOB CLASS,WINDOW,WINDOW GROUP, SCHEDULE, CHAIN
4. Re: Expdp Scheduler objects Open mode Redo logsSrini Chavali-Oracle Dec 21, 2012 1:00 PM (in response to RRSOra?)Pl do not post duplicates - Oracle 10g R2 Export DBMS_SCHEDULER

How about a longer version of this, 12" or longer? Or at least the necessary components (connector housing and pins) to make these ourselves?
I'm going to cut the Auto-reset on my Arduino, shorten this and solder to the blobs on either side of the trace, and stick in a 0.1" jumper wire when I want auto-reset!

New York Giants: What Will Brandon Marshall Contribute?
Get the craziest and best NFL stories, cutting edge Analysis, and Daily Fantasy Guidance hand picked by our expert team right into your inbox.
By Brandon BurnettCold, Hard Football Facts Wizard of the NFC West (@B_Burnett49er)
The 49ers and Rams are rested and ready to get back to smashing faces this week. Better yet, they'll get to take out their pent-up aggression on each other.
That's right, folks. St. Louis is off to San Fran for a Sunday showdown at the Stick. The last time these two NFC West rivals squared off, the Niners rolled to a decisive 26-0 shutout win, clinching their first division title since 2002 in the process.
This year's 49er defense has arguably been even more formidable than 2011, too.
Frisco is No. 1 in Defensive Real Passing Yards per Attempt, and No. 2 in both Defensive Passer Rating and Bendability. Conversely, St. Louis is No. 22 in Real Passing Yards per Attempt and Offensive Passer Rating, and No. 27 in Scoreability.
Point being, the prognosis is bleak for the Rams in this one.
Elsewhere in the NFCW, Seattle will host the Jets Sunday evening. The Seahawks don't need any favors at home (4-0 in 2012), but they'll likely get a couple anyway. New York is 3-8 in road games from 2011 til now and 1-8 against Quality Opponents during that time.
For the Cardinals, it's a week off. Somehow, I feel like Arizona's O-line is still going to allow a sack.
1. The Rams Get a Chunk of Their Offense Back, But it Won't be Enough
St. Louis has only four first-half touchdowns in 2012. Two of those were scored by WR Danny Amendola, a third was made possible by his 44-yard catch earlier in the drive.
After missing three weeks with a broken collarbone, Amendola will rejoin the Rams in Week 10.
By no means does his return make St. Louis' offense the best thing since the Greatest Show on Turf, but there's no doubt his 79 receiving yards per game were sorely missed.
Will he be a difference maker against the 49ers, though?
Not only is San Fran's D dominating in nearly every defensive Quality Stat, it's allowing 184 passing yards per game, the second lowest total in the NFL. The 49ers home record of 10-2 under Jim Harbaugh spells doom for the Rams, especially considering St. Louis is 1-10 on the road in that span.
If you're expecting a pair of close, pressure-packed battles from NFCW teams in Week 10, don't. You'll feel more letdown than crazed Tebowmaniacs who thought for sure Tebow would be leading the God Damn Jets to the promised land by now.
2. Seattle's Wins Come in Pairs
After a Week 1 defeat to the Cardinals, the Seahawks bounced back with two straight wins. Then, they lost the following week only to win the next two. After two straight losses, Seattle dropped Minnesota 30-20 at CenturyLink Field in Week 9.
In fact, the 'Hawks haven't sandwiched a win in between two losses since Oct. 9, 2011.
The Jets just don't have much going for them right now, and we covered their inability to hang with Quality Opponents already. Perhaps if they were looking for even a shred of hope, New York would direct its focus to Seattle's three losses against teams with a losing record in 2012.
The only problem there is that those losses came on the road.
Traveling to conquer the Seahawks in Seattle is a fool's errand. Russell Wilson is interception free through four home games and finished with a passer rating of 99.3 or better in each one. That includes a combined six TDs in his last two contests.
Mark Sanchez's chances of experiencing a similar amount of success Sunday are slim to none. The Jets are No. 28 in Real Passing Yards per Attempt and the Seahawks are No. 3 in Defensive Real Passing Yards per Attempt.
Additionally, New York is No. 30 in OPR, while the 'Hawks are No. 4 in DPR.
In other words, the Jets' chances of winning in Seattle aren't any better than the Rams' odds of pulling the upset in San Francisco.
3. The 49ers Defense is Setting a New Standard for Awesomeness
Remember that Super Bowl-winning Ravens' defense of 2000? The one that recorded four shutouts in one season and set the NFL record for least points allowed in a season with 165, or 10.3 PPG.
Yeah, that defense brought the pain week in and week out. They held six of their 16 regular season opponents without a single TD.
Well, the Niners have done that four times in eight games this year. With two matchups against the Rams and a home game against the Cardinals remaining, it'll probably happen again.
Right now, San Fran's D is holding opponents to 12.9 PPG. In the last five games, they've allowed only 7.6 PPG. They've went from No. 15 to No. 2 in Bendability during that time.
What's interesting is that the Niners are on pace for 15 less takeaways and 12 less sacks in 2012. One of the main arguments against this team being able to sustain success is that they simply couldn't maintain such a high level of takeaways for a second straight season.
That's been true so far, but it certainly hasn't translated to a less effective defense.
4. If the Season Ended Today, Seattle Would be Playoff Bound
Yes sir. Russell Wilson, a third-round pick in April's NFL Draft, would have led his 5-4 squad to the postseason if Week 9 was the end of the regular season.
Of course, that wouldn't be fair to the Detroit Lions, who sit at 4-4 and own the head-to-head tiebreaker over Seattle. Well, life isn't fair. Just ask the Packers.
What can be classified as fair, is Seattle's playoff chances over a 16-game season. Home games against the Jets, Rams and Cardinals shouldn't be much trouble. Road trips to Buffalo and Miami can be successful ones if the Seahawks come to play.
The two teams trailing Seattle for the second wild card spot that they currently own are the Vikings and Lions, who play each other this week. If Minnesota does win, they'll still finish out the season with Green Bay twice, Chicago twice and Houston once.
Sounds like the Vikes will soon learn just how unfair life can be.
It won't get much easier for the Lions, either, who draw the Falcons, Texans, Bears and Packers (twice) the rest of the way. Tampa, who is also 4-4, could be a potential threat to the 'Hawks. Then you have the Cardinals at 4-5, but we can't even include Arizona and playoffs in the same sentence right now.
5. Predicting Post-Week 10 NFC West Standings (2-0 in Week 9)
1) San Francisco 49ers (7-2)
It's not rocket science. The Niners are better than St. Louis. One could make the case that they'll possibly get caught looking ahead to a Monday night matchup with the 7-1 Bears in Week 11, but Harbaugh holds divisional games to a higher level of importance than any other and he's coming off a bye.
2) Seattle Seahawks (6-4)
Like the Niners, Seattle is simply tougher than its opponent this week. Plus, you just don't bet against the Seahawks at home. Kind of like how it's foolish to bet in their favor on the road. It'll bite you in the ass every time. Believe me.
3) Arizona Cardinals (4-5)
'Zona isn't complaining about having a week off. As dreadful as they've been to watch lately, neither are we.
4) St. Louis Rams (3-6)
A road trip to San Francisco comes at the worst possible time for St. Louis, who dropped three straight before the bye and would like to develop some momentum out of the break.

According to latest reports the sky has not fallen, Wall Street is still open for business, people were not laid off by employers because of health benefits, and the world proceeds with its normal course of events. President Obama finally has pushed through a health care bill that will be the first step along the path of health and financial sense in the United States. The vote in the House of Representatives was 219-212 even as thousands of Tea Party bullies ranted and raved against passage of a bill that provided health care to 32 million of their fellow Americans. The bill is far from perfect. It does not address issues of rising premiums, it does not address issues of denying people access to low cost drugs, and it will not address issues of bloated profits for health insurance companies. It is a first step, that is all.
This blog would have preferred a more focused health care bill that dealt with rising insurance premiums and the need for low cost drugs and a public run option, but we expect in the coming years those ideas to become reality. President Obama did the right thing in fighting for health care, and now it is necessary to ensure that all Americans understand this bill is not against health care, it is a step towards achieving it.

Maple-Chipotle Roasted Squash RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
I always seem to grow more squash than what I can use, so I decided I to come up with a recipe that could be used as a side dish. The smoky chipotle flavor and subtle sweetness from the maple syrup make this a recipe worth sharing. —Yvonne Starlin, Hermitage, Tennessee
Recommended: Baking with Squash
- 1 large acorn squash, cut into 1/2-inch slices
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, seeded and finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon curry powder
- Place squash in a large bowl; set aside.
- In a small skillet, saute onion in butter until tender. Add the syrup, chipotle peppers, salt and curry powder; heat through. Pour over squash and toss to coat. Transfer to a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 20-25 minutes or until tender. Yield: 4 servings.

Hello all,
I'm having some trouble with my subby.
It's a WRX wagon 2002 with a ej205 engine, everything stock except for modified exhaust system, walbro pump and adjustable fuel regulator.
While driving for short periods, car runs fine. But while i'm on a long ride, lets say 30 minutes or longer, and being pretty hard on throttle, car starts overheating and coolant spitting out of reservoir. Then I let the car cool down, fill up the missing coolant, and continue slowly to the destination with no issues.
Coolant cap looks ok but, rated at 90 kpa (0.9 bar). Now after a little search I find out that the pressure needs to be 108 kpa (1.1bar).
Do you thing that the low rated cap can cause those issues?
Any thought/help from you expert about the problem?
Thanks in advance!

Hey guys. A good friend of mine with a passion for automobiles is working his way into the film-making industry. Earlier this weekend, he did a short film with an '09 V. Please disregard the fact that there is a race in the video, that isn't the point or focus of this post--Rather, it is to gain exposure for his work. He will be at the Texas Mile next year, and hopefully producing a lot more footage for those of us tired of your run-of-the-mill, amateur, car videos. Here it is, hope you enjoy.

Senior guard Josh Bartelstein begins his senior season and his third year writing the J-Bart Blog. He will give all Wolverine fans an inside look into the program and life outside of basketball during the 2012-13 season.
What's up everyone?
It has been a little bit since I last wrote, but our schedule has been absolutely crazy between school, traveling and playing games. A ton has happened and we have played some really good team basketball during the last 10 days!
We have won three games since I last wrote, at Minnesota, against Purdue and then at Illinois. Coach Beilein always says you remember those road wins more than anything else because you have 15,000 people screaming at you at the top of their lungs and we are all we got!
Teams that win a Big Ten championship find ways to win on the road and that is what we are doing right now. It isn't always going to be pretty, but you have to lock down on defense and grind it out.
I'll break down the Illinois game, since it was our most recent win. A couple things really stuck out at me. Jon (Horford) and Max (Bielfeldt) stepped up once Jordan (Morgan) went down with a sprained ankle. We have a saying, "Next Man Up" when someone goes down and those two guys did a great job of stepping up. We see how hard they work in practice every day and how good they really are, but doing it in a game and helping our team get a huge win is extremely rewarding for them.
Max is a guy who has been dominant at practice at times and for him playing at Illinois is a home game in front of all his friends and family, so we were all excited for him. In my opinion, the most impressive thing about Max was his mental toughness. Max airballed his first free throw, but for him to come back and then swish the next two shows how mentally tough he is. A lot of guys would not be able to step up and move past the air ball. It was an easy choice who was going to sing the fight song after the game and as a team we couldn't have been happier for him!
I know everyone wants to know what the No. 1 ranking means to us. For our fans, they can walk around with their heads high and chests out, but for us it doesn't mean a whole much. Coach Beilein made a great point. Do you have any idea who was ranked No. 1 last year at the end of January?
The goal is not to be ranked No. 1 now, but in April. However, the message I will send to our team is that what we are doing is working. The hard work, team thoughts, and everyone buying in -- is a recipe for success. If we continue to stay on this path and continue to improve every day, it shows this team can be special!
Off the court, we filmed a behind-the-scenes show for CBS Sports Network this past week. They followed us everywhere for about four days, from going to Mott's Children's Hospital (one of my favorite things to do as a U-M athlete), to me cooking eggs and proving all my doubters wrong. I have always wondered how the Kardashians do it with cameras following them around everywhere. Well I never thought I would utter these words, but I have a newfound respect for them -- in that aspect ONLY!
I look forward to seeing many of you at Crisler Wednesday night as we take on Northwestern.
The louder the game gets, the more it helps us!
