In the past, you've written tips on Cloudeight Stationery and I really like to use it. I've recently upgraded to Windows Vista though and I'm not sure if Cloudeight will work with it. Do you know anything about this? If so, please inform me!
We here at WorldStart get e-mails and phone calls all day long from people wondering if certain programs, etc. work with the new operating system of Windows Vista. And to tell you the truth, we are still trying to figure all of that out ourselves, but there are some things we have tested that do in fact work with Vista. On the other hand though, sometimes I feel like I have to give the run around when people ask me, because there's just so much to test and it's impossible to get it all done overnight. But, along with that, nothing pleases me more than to be able to give you all a straight answer and well, that's exactly what I'm going to do today!
I'm very happy to tell you that Cloudeight Stationery is 100 percent compatible with Vista! Yes, you heard me right. In fact, I just received the news yesterday and once I saw today's question in my e-mail, I couldn't wait to share the good news! Now, if you're not sure what Cloudeight Stationery is, please read here (and please excuse the Halloween theme!) Once you're finished reading that article, you'll know all the basics of Cloudeight and then you can continue on with this tip!
So, if you're now using Windows Vista and its e-mail program of Windows Mail, you can start using Cloudeight Stationery right away. Cloudeight is the first e-mail Web site to be fully compatible with Vista and Windows Mail, so not only are you getting what you want, you're getting it first hand! To use their stationery, you just have to follow three simple steps, which are defined below. Listen up!
1.) Open Windows Mail and go to Tools, Options and choose the Security tab. From there, checkmark the two options that say "Internet zone (Less secure, but more functional)" and "Warn me when other applications try to send mail as me." Also, you need to uncheck the box that says "Block images and other external content in HTML e-mail." You'll also want to keep the "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus" option checkmarked for safe keeping. Click OK when you're all finished.
2.) Next, go back to the Options window and click on the Read tab. Uncheck the box that says "Read all messages in plain text." Click OK when you're done. If you don't do this, you won't be able to see any of the images that come along with the Cloudeight Stationery. This may be a simple step, but it's one of the most important.
3.) Finally, go back to the Options window again and choose the Send tab this time. Here you need to make sure you choose the HTML option under the Mail Sending Format section. Click OK again.
You are now ready to use Cloudeight's stationery! As you may have noticed, all of the steps above were the same for Outlook Express in Windows XP, so if you've used Cloudeight before, you probably whizzed right through it.
Either way, you're now able to start composing new e-mail messages with the stationery of your choice. To do this, just go to Message, choose New Message Using and then select Stationery. From there, click on the Cloudeight folder to choose the stationery you want to use. Now, in order for all of this to work right, you must make sure that you have your new Windows Mail set up correctly. If you're not completely sure on that, read here to verify everything.
So far, Cloudeight has approximately 2,000 stationery files that have been redone for Vista. You will be able to see all of them once you start your new message and click on Cloudeight. Each collection you see has between eight and 14 designs in them and each one has its own preview, just like before. They will be adding more designs every day as well, so make sure you check back often to see the new updates. If you want to take an advanced look at the list of designs that are available, you can do so at this Web site. It also gives you a little more information about the whole Vista thing!
One more thing: If you want to stay on top of the Cloudeight Vista progress, you can subscribe to their newsletter. Each issue will come straight to your e-mail Inbox and you'll be able to keep up to date on all their stationery news. It doesn't get any better than that, does it?! Click here to subscribe yourself today. Until the next Cloudeight update, have yourself some stationery fun!

Several of the Princess Cruises' ships have been enhanced by the installation of LED large screen systems from Panasonic Systems Integration, a division of Panasonic System Solutions Company.
Panasonic LED boards had already been installed on numerous Princess ships including the Caribbean Princess, Grand Princess, Sea Princess, Crown Princess and Emerald Princess. Now an additional Panasonic LED board is being placed on the Ruby Princess, an installation that is expected to be completed this Fall. To date, the Panasonic large screen systems have only been installed on Grand Class ships, those that carry more than 3000 passengers.
The environment on board the ships is much more demanding than the typical large screen installation on land and the Panasonic LED large screens must withstand the ships' movement and vibrations as well as a range of extreme weather conditions and the salty air and water, for which the screens are IP 66 rated. A brightness sensor in each board automatically adjusts the screen according to the position of the sun with regard to the board.
Movies Under The Stars is one of the evening activities offered aboard the Princess ships. In addition to providing the displays for these movies, Panasonic's LED large screen solutions are used for a variety of deck-side games and may be used for live camera shots in the future. A number of Panasonic plasma screens are also used on board in the ships' lounges, stage areas and common areas.

"Les Miserables" Featurette Featuring Hugh Jackman Released: Watch Here!
As the big Christmas Day release draws near, Universal Pictures has released a new behind-the-scenes featurette for "Les Misérables."
Focusing on star Hugh Jackman, the video includes the Aussie hunk belting out a song and talking about the iconic role of Jean Valjean, as well as the work put in to capture the character.
About his part, the 44-year-old actor gushes, "This is the kind of role you dream of playing. I'm gonna give 110%. I'm gonna do everything I can to make this role live."
After castmates and director Tom Hooper praised Hugh's work ethic, leadership, and preparation on set, Mr. Jackman acknowledged the challenge of bringing the Broadway show to the big screen, saying, "I think musicals are the Mount Everest of movie making." Watch the behind-the-scenes look at Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean below.

A little info on Dornaus & Dixon Enterprises, Inc.
If you're interested in the history of the .40S&W, ask the man who design it, John Koppel, email@example.com
This is a discussion on Cartridge Profile: Reloading the 10mm Automatic within the Reloading forums, part of the Defensive Ammunition & Ballistics category; History first. In 1983, Jeff Cooper and some friends were fed up with the lack of power in the 9mm and 45 Auto cartridges for ...
History first. In 1983, Jeff Cooper and some friends were fed up with the lack of power in the 9mm and 45 Auto cartridges for self defense. They set out to make a better cartridge.
They started with a 40 caliber bullet, as it splits the difference between the 35cal 9mm Luger and the 45 cal 45 Auto. It was first designed to fit in the same size gun as the 9mm Luger. The testing and performance angered them even more. It just wasn't up to what they wanted. So they went up and worked with the next larger auto pistol action, the 1911 whose cartridge was 1.260" OAL. If you were paying attention, you just realized they designed the 40S&W cartridge before Winchester and S&W did, and the 10mm team thought its performance wasn't up to their standards. So they went back to the drawing board and, using the previous .30 Remington case, cut a little less off than previous arriving at a case length of .992".
So arriving at this new OAL of 1.260", they were raising their eyebrows. This is what they wanted. They called this new cartridge the 10mm Automatic. Bullet diameter: .400" (borrowed from the .38-40). Overall length: 1.260" (borrowed from the 45 Auto). Maximum operating pressure: 37,500psi. Initial load for which the cartridge was developed was a 200gr FMJ bullet at 1200fps from a 5 inch barrel generating 640fpe at the muzzle. Quite a handfull.
They chambered this cartridge in a modified CZ75 marketed by the (now defunct) Dornaus & Dixon, which they called The Bren Ten. The gun failed but the cartridge lives on. It was adopted for use by the FBI after reported failures during the infamous 1986 Miami Shootout. They adopted a lighter recoiling loading which projected a 180gr JHP at 950fps. This was later used as the basis for the shortened 10mm called the 40S&W and is very similar to the prototype Jeff Cooper and associates worked with during the development of the 10mm Auto.
Now on to handloading. Handloading the 10mm Auto is pretty straight forward and it is a straight walled pistol cartridge, meaning carbide sizing dies can be used and case lubrication is optional rather than necessary. There are many brands of cases out there, Federal, Remington, Hornady, Norma, Starline, Winchester, PMC. There are also nickel plated brass, which some claim to split sooner than brass cases. I have not found this to be true. I have loaded over 50K rounds of 10mm and they all wear out at about the same point.
There are plenty of commercial bullets available in weights from 135gr Nosler JHP up to the fabulous Hornady 200gr XTP. Cast bullets are widely available and the nominal size is .401". Some of my favorites are:
135gr Nosler JHP
155gr Hornady XTP
165gr Speer Gold Dot
180gr Remington Golden Sabre
200gr Hornady XTP
In lead bullets the middle weight 170-180gr bullets have done very well. The SWC type bullets are pretty good for targets, the truncated cone (TC) profile will feed in most any gun. Some of the round flat point (RF) bullets intended for the .38-40 do well for hunting. A wide meplat is necessary for deep penetration.
Powders are a fun topic. If you look at the burn rate chart, pretty much anything between IMR 800X and Acccurate Arms #9 will work well in the 10mm Auto. I have personally used HS6, Blue Dot, WSF, W571/HS7, Unique, and Longshot in my 10mm loads.
For magnum, high velocity loads, 800X, Blue Dot, and AA#9 are the ones to use. For medium-heavy loads Blue Dot and W571/HS7 are great. For medium loads HS6 and Longshot will do great. Light loads and lead friendly loads are reserved for Unique and WSF.
Primers are normal large pistol primers. Nothing fancy. Magnum primers are NOT needed. There is some data out there using magnum primers with 800X. One note about Winchester WLP primers. These are dual purpose primers. They can be used with either standard or magnum loads. I have used CCI 300, CCI350, and WLP primers in 10mm with no measurable differences.
These are some loads I have used in my guns with the powders I mentioned my use above. The data is in the following manuals. The characters in [] reference the source in the data below. Data in bold is listed max load. DO NOT EXCEED.
Lyman #48 [L48]
Hornady #7 [H7]
Hodgdon 2004 [H2004]
Nosler #5 [N5]
Sierra #5 [S3]
Accurate [A]
135gr Nosler JHP 11.5gr Blue Dot 1308fps [N5]
135gr Nosler JHP 12.5gr Blue Dot 1459fps [N5]
135gr Nosler JHP 10.5gr HS6 1345fps [H2004]
135gr Nosler JHP 11.0gr HS6 1410fps [H2004]
150gr Sierra JHP 8gr Unique 1250fps [L48]
150gr Sierra JHP 9gr HS6 1162fps [L48]
155gr Hornady XTP 12.5gr Blue Dot 1400fps 4" [H7] Note: manual indicates 1425fps from 5"
155gr Hornady XTP 11.0gr HS6 1325fps [H7]
180gr Hornady XTP 9.2gr Longshot 1246fps [H2004-lists Sierra bullet]
180gr Hornady XTP 9.4gr HS6 1127fps [H2004]
200gr Hornady XTP 6gr Unique 1050fps [L48]
200gr Hornady XTP 9.6gr Blue Dot 1148fps [L48]
175gr LSWC 6gr WSF 1050fps [L48] Note: listed starting load is 6.2gr. Operates 1911, very easy shooting load, no leading.
I run two loads with my custom 230gr SWC, one with WSF and one with Blue Dot. No leading in either. These two loads were SWAGs (scientific wild ass guess) I worked up for my business offerings. No pressure sign. I won't post the data here as I have no pressure testing to support my findings. They both feel like a heavy 45 Auto.
There you have it. 10mm reloading in a nutshell.

"The pistol, learn it well, carry it always ..." ~ Jeff Cooper
"Terrorists: They hated you yesterday, they hate you today, and they will hate you tomorrow.
End the cycle of hatred, dont give them a tomorrow."
Thanks Tubby for the article. Very nice read.
I always sorta liked the idea of the 10mm but have never gone down that road. I'd even like to play with the .40 S&W through hand loading. I kinda recall when the 10mm came out and Cooper and Co. writing about it. Seemed like a neat idea. I sure snapped up the various 10mm/.40 bullets as they became available to try in my .38-40. I've only fired other's 10mm and .40 S&W guns. Perhaps I'll get around to one of my own.
You really like hand loading. You ought to continue to post your thoughts on cartridges you play with.
Tubby45, good info. Thanks for sharing. I recently ordered some .40 components to try my hand at reloading it from Midway. Have been doing 9mm and it is going ok, but I keep checking here to see what else you posted, seeing maybe I can get a nugget or two of good info. Thanks again.
PM me your address and I'll send you a 40S&W present. Don't worry about shipping. Next time you see [hear] one of those bell ringers outside a store, think of me and toss in a few bucks.
PM sent, is really not necessary. I already give to those bell ringers every chance I get. It is the season after all. Thank you

Select your effect
Sometimes more than just a paint finish is required!
Paint effects allow you the freedom to capture a mood, create an ambience and transform the mundane into something special. Some techniques also have the extremely practical benefit of disguising less than perfect surfaces. In fact, imperfections in the surface can add to the overall impact of the effect. Paint effects are designed for durability giving you confidence that the look you painstakingly create will continue to look good. This website contains a small taste of the paint effects techniques commonly used. There are a wide variety of other paint effects techniques that you can use to achieve highly professional results.
The Resene website features a range of paint effects projects, from cracking to sponging to ragging, you can try out for yourself. View the paint effects project gallery.
There are no rules
When using Paint Effects for your project, the key thing to remember is that there are no hard and fast rules about what you should do. Spend time getting the effect right by trialing different colours and application techniques until you are happy with the finished look. Then use your trial area as a reference board for the whole project. Wall sockets, skirting boards and door frames should be masked off so that the effect may be continued right to the edge.
All Paint Effects Medium colours shown have been created by adding one Resene 55ml testpot to one litre of Paint Effects Medium. You can create your own personalised Paint Effects Medium colours simply by experimenting with testpots of your choice. It is often surprising the colour that results when a testpot is added to Paint Effects Medium, so always make sure you test your colour before starting the project. By subtly adjusting either the basecoat or your chosen Paint Effects Medium topcoat you can create a whole new effect. The key to paint effects is to develop your own colour combinations and application technique to add your distinctive mark to the completed job.
A range of paint effects colour combinations are available online to help you decide the effect that suits you. If you are hiring someone to create the painted effect for you, ask them to prepare a sample panel and agree on that as your standard before the job starts.This way, all parties will know what the finish will look like. If worse comes to worse and the final finish is not what you had in mind, you can always create a new paint effect by reapplying the basecoats and paint effects medium topcoat/s.
Pick the right product
For high service areas and floors, Resene Lusta-Glo should be used as the basecoat and Resene Scumbling Glaze as the decorative medium, followed by protective layers of urethane (i.e.Resene Polythane, Resene Uracryl 403 Clear or Resene Aquaclear). In most other situations, Resene Paint Effects Medium is the recommended decorative medium.
Resene Paint Effects Medium is a tintable acrylic medium that allows you to easily create unique paint effects, while still enjoying the benefits of lower odour and easy clean up in water.
Resene Scumbling Glaze is an oil based alternative to Resene Paint Effects Medium and is suitable for use in wet or heavy duty areas or where a slower dry time is preferred. As with Paint Effects Medium, paint finishes are obtained by the contrast of a tinted basecoat and Scumbling Glaze.
Resene Resitex or Resene Sandtex are also good basecoats for Paint Effects as the texture adds an extra dimension to the Effect.
A coat of Resene Multishield+ may be applied to the finished paint effect to alter the gloss level and/or add durability to the finish. Resene Multishield+ is recommended for all paint effects finishes in high contact and wear and tear areas to protect the effects finish from damage.

G8 Report : Introduction
In 2005, the annual G8 summit - the meeting of the leaders of worlds most powerful countries - is coming to the beautiful glens of Perthshire. In some respects, the G8 leaders are coming home to their roots: Scotland was home to 18th century philosophers, Adam Smith and David Hume, staunch defenders of free trade, whose ideas, taken out of context, are now touted in justification of market fundamentalism and the corporate ransacking of people and planet. Scotland gained huge financial wealth from colonial rule, and today it is the regional centre for the oil industry, making it an appropriate place for the G8 leaders, the new colonial masters, to be discussing pressing issues such as climate change and poverty in Africa.
The Scottish Executive has made clear that it wants to take the opportunity of the G8 to promote Scotland and Scottish enterprise, code words for celebrating Scotland PLC. In response, this booklet aims to highlight the darker side of some the corporations with bases in Scotland that stand to gain profile and wealth from the G8 summit. Besides the direct financial benefit of the Gleneagles summit, Scotland and its corporations are very much part of the global economic agenda, known as neoliberalism, which is promoted by the G8.
Alongside its colonial legacy, Scotland has a hugely exciting history of resistance to corporate and centralised power. With its vibrant environmental, peace and radical labour movements, the protests around the G8 in Scotland 2005 promise a great deal in terms of radical ideas and action.
However, this report isn't only about Scotland and the G8. It aims to raise the important questions many are asking today about democracy in the face of global corporate rule. Will we be subsumed into a fossil-fuel-addicted global economy or will we resist to build vibrant, sustainable local economies? Which will win out - ecological sanity or pathological capitalism? Will it be the corporate globalisation of profit and control, or a peoples' globalisation of ideas, creativity and autonomy?
'When we say a better world is possible we mean it. We want a world that reflects basic life centred values. Weve got the vision and the big ideas and the other side doesnt. Weve got organic food production, direct democracy, renewable energy, diversity, peoples' globalization and social justice. What have they got? Styrofoam? Neo-liberalism? Eating disorders? [Corporate blended whisky?] Designer jeans, manic depression and global warming?'1
Why the G8 and Scotland Plc?
While the G8 is ostensibly an informal meeting of eight world leaders, it is also an important part of the architecture of global governance. Although not a policy-making body, it is open to, and openly courts, the same form of corporate influence as the major formal global institutions such as the World Trade Organisation (WTO), International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank. That global order in turn subverts and colonises national sovereignty.
Scotland today can be seen as an example of global corporate rule in microcosm, brought about by policies endorsed through the G8 and other super-governmental engines of global control. Multinationals with headquarters or operations in Scotland have benefited from the same economic trends that benefit corporations worldwide. Communities and local businesses have lost out in the same measure. The biggest companies in Scotland have gained their wealth through the privatisation of public services, such as energy and transport; through PFI projects, including the major banks; through unsustainable industries such as oil and gas; through the casualisation of labour and through the co-opting of traditional industries, such as fishing. The broader shifts away from corporate regulation towards corporate welfare are strongly reflected in the Scottish economy.
As at the global level, national and regional politics are also being captured. Although for many people the newly devolved Scottish Parliament symbolises a new era in the history of the Scottish nation, the actions of the Scottish Executive are closely aligned with corporate interests.
Corporate influence on the political process, globally or nationally, happens on two different levels. The first is direct corporate involvement through institutional lobbying. While the G8 works closely with global business lobby, the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) to bring corporate perspectives on its discussions and declarations, a similar process is happening in Scotland. Even in a small country like Scotland, corporate lobbyists consider it important to exercise influence over the seat of government. Take for example the World Business Council on Sustainable Development (WBCSD), at the forefront of corporate attempts to undermine environmental action through lobbying worldwide against regulation in favour of 'voluntary' action. WBCSD now has a Scottish steering group working closely with, and even partially funded by, the Scottish Executive to influence policy at Holyrood.2 Members include road building consultancy Scott Wilson, ScottishPower, the biggest user of natural (water) resources in Scotland, and oil giant Shell.3
At the same time many highly influential Scottish-based multinationals, such as the Royal Bank of Scotland and ScottishPower, are integrated into global corporate lobby groups.
The line between lobbying and capture dissolves with corporations actually integrating themselves into the governmental and super-governmental infrastructure. Since 2001, the G8 has actively welcomed corporate involvement on its task-forces as part of 'stakeholder' engagement. Meanwhile, personnel move seemlessly between the Scottish Parliament and big business on secondments and exchanges.4
And all this corporate lobbying takes place in an already favourable environment. The world leaders meeting at Gleneagles, and certainly Jack McConnell and the Scottish Executive, exist in a pro-market, pro-economic growth paradigm, where 'what's good for business must be good for the country'. This fundamental belief not only underlies the decision-making in most corridors of power worldwide, but is also a generally held assumption about 'development'. These beliefs and assumptions are thankfully something that many are beginning to question.

Went Stage 2 yesterday!!!!
It is certainly a new car. As if it actually runs better.
I have the COBB Catted DP and the SF Intake with the box. Invidia N1 Street Dual Exit, and a COBB Turbo Heat Shield.
I flashed it with the Stage 2 Map from COBB running 94 Octane gas.
My car has way more power. There is noticeable difference. It is sad I waited all this time to let her breathe.
I am trying to figure out how to post up my "datalog.csv" files. Any help would be appreciated.
For now, I ran a datalog on my drive home today. Little city, little highway, and etc.
I saw a boost pressure hit around 19.1 psi at around 5100 rpm under WOT. I am a total newb with these numbers.
Should I drive around with the dyno function thing to see what kind of gains I have made? I am a newb to the accessport.
Anyways...I am so pumped about my car. It sounds great and goes fast. More bottom end torque. I can even start from red lights in second gear so easily.
will post pics once clean and sunny out.

Because this is so long, I should post a photo, taken on 6/26/2011! A year ago yesterday! Man, how things have changed since then…
I have had 3 major break ups in the past 6 months. The first of which was the last of a string of on-and-off break ups in that particular relationship. Before that, I had two other relationships. I haven't been single longer than 3 months since I graduated high school. In 2009. I am the Break Up Queen. I also need to be single. But hey, if nothing else, I've learned I give great advice now!
Why do I bother mentioning things people usually keep to themselves?
Well. In case you haven't heard, my birthday is the 28th. Tomorrow. And I am in serious need of a new start.
I kind of feel like I need to prove to myself that I can be single. I am all about independence and strength, but as one of my cousins mentioned, maybe I can't live without the "affections of a man."
YES I CAN! …I THINK! I don't know…but I think that's the point of this whole experiment!
So. New rules of year 21:
- Go on dates, but don't look for or expect them.
- Don't get serious with anyone until I feel ready.
- Make lots more friends in both genders.
- Kisses mean something.
- Do things boyfriends in the past wouldn't have "approved" of, like GOING DANCING! EVERY WEEK! Like I used to, and it made me ohsohappy.
- Be a little bit more selfish. Focus on improving myself & my talents.
- Be a little bit more cynical. "How many ladies have you used that line on?" accompanied with an eye roll (but also a smile).
- Actually listen to the opinions of others, but still come up with my own. Don't automatically reject their suggestions.
- YOU ARE NOT THE EXCEPTION, YOU ARE THE RULE. Say it with me: I AM NOT THE EXCEPTION, I AM THE RULE.
- Don't ignore red flags or make excuses. Ever again. I don't care how sweet and sensitive he is, if I can use English properly, be talented in music, communicate well with others, take care of my appearance, and know how to work, I am allowed expect that out of a man as well.
Anyway. That list is on the Internet now, so I should try to stick to it. Of course, that's not even near close to everything I want to change about myself in year 21. That list would be way too long for the blog.
I was about to apologize for the length, because I'm not done typing yet, but I really don't need to apologize for that. So I won't. This blog is for me. I hope it helps others too, at the very least to just get a little more enjoyment out of life.
Family problems is my next topic. The past few days have been unusually concentrated with family problems–across my extended family and immediate. I don't think it's appropriate for me to just shout out all the things that are bothering me, so CAN I JUST SAY that being the Break Up Queen has come in handy. Twice.
And also, I really have determined that the only person in your life that won't let you down ever is God, and even though family is the next most important priority, you really can't even count on them to not hurt you.
Which is fine. That's all a part of life, and I'm guilty of hurting my family too. So are you. Probably.
But it's fine. It's all fine. What else can we do but move on?

Feminism | Posted by Emma M on 10/24/2014
Why I Celebrated International Day of the Girl
I went to an all-girls' school where I felt, first-hand, what it's like to be nurtured, challenged, and encouraged. My thirteen years in a school that was deeply invested in girls armed me with resilience, self-care, and a generations-long support network of strong, smart, and successful women. I graduated high school in a class of 71 other girls who had grown into capable, remarkable women thanks to the diligence of a school that knew how important it was for us to become self-sufficient, empowered, critically thinking, globally minded, change-creating citizens of the world.
I looked out at my classmates and was awed, humbled by the little glimpse into the future I saw when I watched them turn their tassels. I saw, in a sea of graduates, women who …

Discussion in 'Ride Reports - Epic Rides' started by AntiHero, Jul 13, 2012.
One of the best pictures!
Looks like it's being submissive tot he bike.
Wasn't me. I wish!
Absolutely, Rico--the coyotes reacted to the bike like it was an animal. Throughout the entire trip animals (sheep, cows, horses and now coyotes) responded. Never happened on my inline 4s, nor did it on my triple. Something about the sound of the twin has a different effect. Heartbeat? Growling? Purring? Not sure, but it reinforces that whole limbic resonance phenomenon. The coyotes were the first to look the Panigale in the eye, though, and bow down with deference.
I'm remembering those birds in South Dakota who were so attracted to the Duc they threw themselves under your wheels and into your left foot. Glad that the ride didn't end there. In to the end.....
Been following your report for awhile but havent posted up yet. these pics finally did it. this series of pics are great! too bad you couldn't have gotten him grabbing for it but self preservation always wins.
i just realized i have been following this thread for a quite a while. i went back to page one, it seems like yesterday that i read it but it has been months. your ride report began in july. this is january. time flies when you're having fun.
thanks for the effort you have put into the rr for our benefit.
Is the coyote growling at the bike?
Holy shit this is amazing!
Did they ignore you and just creep up to the bike??!1?!
I would have shit my pants if TWO came up, much less one. No where to hide or run.
sooo lovely animals and moment share with them, must be fantastic to live this, they' re so cute
question to you antihero: i'm wondering how you always find a gas station in a so big journey??
ride free
Thanks for the great ride report and the inspiration to say 'fuck it' and get the bike you really want.
I picked up my Panigale S yesterday. What a glorious machine!
RE: coyotes, we have a veritable plague of them on Cape Cod. When I say "plague" I mean that due to humans messing up the habitat, coyotes are overpopulated and too "tame" for their own good, becoming dependent on "unnatural" food sources.
At any rate, what I'm attempting to get at is that trying to feed a coyote is, as you note, a bad idea, but how bad can depend on the context. In DV, I imagine you stand a fair chance of leaving with your fingers intact and the majority of platelets still on the inside where they belong. On Cape Cod, not so much. My wife and I have had coyotes display some serious attitude while we are walking in the woods -- with our 80-lb. pit bull/Lab mix alongside.
Stay safe and be sure to count fingers before and after the next feeding [grin]. Remember, you can put them to much better use -- clutch & brake come to mind -- than the coyote.
Blader: Forgot about those damn birds, but you're right--they were fatally attracted to the Duc!
lucati: It's been a very long time....especially if you consider that it was actually April 19th when I first left LA on my Triumph!
dmun: if only I had it on video!
Hypergirl: no growling. They showed nothing but deference to the Pani. :)
Frosty_spl: initially they both circled me--neither on the same side, which was a little unnerving. Always seemed to have one in front and the other behind me. It felt like a choreographed dance. Then they ignored me and did the same to the bike.
Lolodesiles: I played it safe--when out in the middle of nowhere I'd stop and gas up even if I still had 2/3 of a tank left. And that saved my butt in a few instances--in some places there are no "next gas 130 miles" signs.
flumpmaster: Dude! Congratulations! PM me and let me know what your impressions are of the bike, I'd love to hear what you think about it. Very cool.
danham: I hear you. Their body language was anything but threatening, but wild animals are wild animals. Anything that survives in Death Valley, though, I think is deserving of a free meal every now and then. Have no idea how these little bastards survives without water the other 364 days of the year. Adaptation at its finest!
The pics of Wiley and the 1199 were simply the best ever!!! Great!
Great ride report, AntiHero. by the way, where could I get some more photos of that yellow street fighter you were riding when your duc was being service? I like to get a M900 monster and build it into something like that
Funny, I've followed this RR since the fall, loving all of it. I go back to the beginning today and find this, that I somehow missed the first time through. A perfect summary of 14 years spent with my first wife. Still shaking my head. A fantastic journey AH, with much learned by those of us along for the ride. Thank you.
Talk about two opposite ends of the spectrum! In all reality though, a pretty sweet tandom.... a do-it-all bike and a race bike for the street.
I bow to you!
I vote this as the next home page photo!
Just some great shots AH, love the whole series in DV.
Milk Crate Mafia meets Italian masterpiece.
On feeding animals that retain some of their "wild ".
Once in my teens some friends and I drove my '66 Fairlane GTA east to Red River Gorge and on the way picked up sandwich makings and beer. In the gorge we went up the private road to Raven Rock. The road had been built up to the top of a pinnacle for tourism purposes before WW2.There was a small park at the summit and a caged bear was the only attraction beyond the veiws.
We thought it would be nice to share a beer with the bear. I poured one on one of the bars and the bear wrapped his tounge around the bar , not letting one drop be lost.
We went on to have our picnic of bolonga and cheese sandwich's and beer. After we'd finished there was half a loaf of bread left. And a hungry bear.
So. I climbed up on top of the cage that was half sunk into the hill and began feeding the bread to the bear. He was very gental and delicately took each slice daintily betwwen his teeth , never moveing in a way to raise alarm.
On the last slice ,I tore the bread in two halves . He took the first half as he had the others , but ,.on the second half he lunged his head forward and clamped down on the middle and ring fingers of my right hand. I pulled back as hard as I could but he held firm to my fingers. I don't know how much time went by as I stared into his eyes. He finally decided to let me keep my fingers and relaxed his jaw a bit. My sore fingers slid out from between his canine teeth bruised and missiing some skin.
Barely coincidental that the following should pop up on Facebook this morning. This was posted by a neighbor here on Cape Cod:
"Just woke up to the most horrific and gruesome sounds coming from my hen house... Threw up my sheets, grabbed my hatchet and ran. Not knowing what to expect I approached with caution. Two dead chickens on the ground two more squawking in the coop. Got closer only to see a good sized coyote burst out of the doorway. Taken by my surprise and trapped he immediately turned on me. Bad move dude. You shoulda taken the first chicken and left when the get'n was good. Greed leads to nowhere good...Now I've got two dead chickens, two extremely disturbed chickens, one less coyote to worry about and a big bloody mess to clean up... Not exactly what I wanted for my Monday morning I'm just shocked that the coyote got over a 6' fence! Penny and Rudi, you will be missed! I thank you for your delicious eggs, amazing bug control in my gardens and all the wonderful energy you brought to the yard. Mr. Coyote, I'm sorry it ended like this. I'm sure you'll be missed by your family. May you all rest in peace. I think I need a long hot shower and a cup of tea.... I'm a wee bit too awake to go back to bed right now."

This week in mBio: A (surprisingly small) team of researchers have sequenced the genome of the fungus Pneumocystis jirovecii, an advancement that could help identify new targets for drugs to treat and prevent Pneumocystis pneumonia, a common and often deadly infection in immunocompromised patients. The organism cannot yet be isolated and grown for study in the lab, so details about Pneumocystis pneumonia, the biology of P. jirovecii, and its pathogenicity are hard to come by. The genome sequence represents a wealth of new information for doctors and researchers tackling this disease.
Pneumocystis pneumonia is an opportunistic infection that strikes most often in individuals with diminished immune systems. Corresponding author of the study, Philippe Hauser, says the disease gained importance in the 1980s. "Recognized first among malnourished infants, P. jirovecii pneumonia became a public issue with the advent of the HIV epidemic," says Hauser. Today, the disease most commonly affects HIV-infected persons who are unaware of their status as well as solid organ transplant recipients and patients with hemato-oncologic or autoimmune diseases. Since the organism cannot be grown in the lab for study, researchers have long made do with studying P. jirovecii's lab-friendly relatives, species that infect animals and plants, in order to explore the secrets of the human disease.

Interview with Bart Scott, LB New York Jets
Interview with Bart Scott, LB New York Jets
He calls himself a custodian. Why? He cleans up the trash and clears a way to the ball carrier allowing his teammates to make the tackle. The wgreat thing about Bart Scott is that he couldn't care less about making the tackle. He feeds off of initiating contact and making life easier on his fellow defenders.
Unfortunately, as our Sam Monson pointed out in Bart Scott: The Art of Linebacking, Beyond the Tackle, he doesn't get the respect his play warrants. While he doesn't lead the team in tackles, he's an integral part of the Jets defensive success and one of the main reasons why it's been ranked in our Top 5 twice in the past three seasons.
After all, as Bart says … tackles aren't the hardest thing in the world.
I spent some time with him talking about his role in Rex's defense, his path from an undrafted free agent to Pro Bowler, Mark Sanchez, and what he thinks about the lack of respect he gets from the masses.
Steve Wyremski (SW): How's everything going? How's the offseason?
Bart Scott (BS): I can't complain. I added eight pounds of muscle because I've had the time to build it the right way [this year] as opposed to having five weeks to lift weights through the offseason program. What happens is that as soon as you get it right, start seeing growth, and really start making strides you go to a minicamp [in a typical season]. Then, football takes precedence and not you're working out and getting in better shape, so you lose what you've been working for. It's basically a month of minicamps and OTAs that you're not lifting weights at the rate you were when the offseason first started. Now what's been happening is you listen to guys like Haloti Ngata and he's lighter and stronger.
When you train with someone for three months that you're paying, you get to work on what you need to work on. So, we were really able to work on things that were specific to me and not things that were specific to a workout program. In OTAs and things like that, you get burnt out mentally. Coaches are going to demand more of your time. You're over there pretty much all day. They're meeting you and they want you to do football school and things like that, which is great for the mind but not so great for the body. We've been able to train like the Combine. You see how guys get faster, bigger, and stronger at the Combine for that one test. Well, for us … our test is the season. That's why I say [the lockout] may be beneficial for a veteran and not so much the young guys. [Younger guys] come in strong, but they can't use the strength because mentally they can't play fast.
SW: So you're now in better shape because of the time you've had to focus with your private trainer? Would you say you're in better shape than in the past?
BS: I know I am. In Baltimore, this is how we trained. The veterans only came to the mandatory OTAs. Ray Lewis trained in Florida, Todd Heap in Arizona, and Ed Reed trained in Miami [for example]. This is really more normal to me than what I've been doing for the past two years. I've had my trainer for the last eight years. That's how I was able to make the jump from an undrafted free agent to where I am today. I worked on things that made me better and not so much what makes people better.
SW: You talk about going from an undrafted free agent to now and you seem to credit that to your training and private trainer. You really didn't get your shot until 2005. Coincidentally, that was also Rex Ryan's first season as defensive coordinator for the Ravens. In addition to your private trainer, did Rex have a lot to do with you getting your shot in '05?
BS: Well, I think he was a bigger fan of me than Mike Nolan. I always was opinionated and I was always a player that talked. It was like the inner city for me. That's how we do it where I'm from in Detroit. You go to peewee games or high school games and guys are talking trash to each other. That's just how we play. Everybody's not a fan of that. Some people are more traditional in how their players go about their approach. Sometimes people see and hear it as white noise.
Rex has the same personality that I have. He likes that I'm willing to put myself out there and force myself to back it up. That's what it is. The talk forces you to back it up. Not only is someone going to try and come after you harder, but they're going to look forward to telling you and everybody about it. It raises your opponent's level, but your level too. For me, if I'm at my best … my best is better than your best.
SW: Is that why you have such an allegiance to Rex? Because you guys have a similar personality and because he gave you that shot back in '05?
BS: I'm basically him in a football uniform. If he was a player, he would take every play personal, take people trying to block him personal, get in fights, get in scuffles, and be super aggressive. He's aggressive by nature. He's an aggressive coordinator. When he was chosen to be the defensive coordinator [in Baltimore], it matched up with me.
SW: You mentioned that you were from the inner city of Detroit and you went from an undrafted free agent out of Southern Illinois to starter. When you began in the NFL, you played primarily on special teams. Back in 2007, you had an interview with Tim Layden for Sports Illustrated after your Pro Bowl season and you said, "you were a man playing with the house's money and that's a dangerous man." Can you explain a little bit on what you meant by that?
BS: What I'm saying is, if I could have written my script to how I would have liked my career to come out … yeah it would have happened a couple of years earlier, but I think I've achieved the goals I expected and far exceeded what people thought of who I was and what I was capable of. Now, I have nothing to fear. I don't have to play timid. I believe in me.
I always had tremendous confidence. People saw me as a special teams player [and] a guy who couldn't put it together and be consistent. You can't just show spurts of being great in the NFL and just show a couple of plays of being great and one play that costs you the game. They expect you to be a pro and that's what I had to work on, learn how to study and learn how to master my craft. Now, I feel like I'm playing for me. Nobody expected anything from me at all. I have tremendous self-confidence.
When you talk trash, the good thing is that you have a chance to prove it. I got my opportunity and I think I earned the respect. I've never played for money or played for Pro Bowls. I think if you talk to any of my teammates or any guy that played next to me (Terrell Suggs, Ray Lewis, David Harris), they'd probably say that I'm the most unselfish football player they've ever played with. I volunteer – I volunteer to do the dirty work because I'm good at it. I can do the other work too. I can be the cleanup man, but I thrive and love showing my team that I will sacrifice for them. I know when it comes time for them to sacrifice for me they'll do it wholeheartedly. I don't mind taking two guys on so another guy can make a tackle. No one in the stands knows that I'm the one who helped the play, or basically made the play and made it easy for them. As long as he knows. As long as the guy next to me says, "Man, I'm a better player because he's around. He makes things a lot easier for me."
SW: That's a perfect segue into the PFF article that Sam Monson wrote back a few weeks ago on you called Bart Scott: The Art of Linebacking, Beyond the Tackle, which is exactly what you're talking about. What did you think of the article when you saw it?
BS: At first, I thought they didn't read Football for Dummies. They actually comprehend [and] understand the game. They understand what goes into making a play successful. Unfortunately, fans and people who watch football are trained to follow the football, so they don't know what goes into a play. When I watch football, I watch the play. I watch what made the play successful. I don't simply watch the football. When I saw it, I thought … somebody got it.
It's the same thing as the lineman with the pulling guard that allows the running back to run through. Everybody see the running back, but nobody knows that the lineman may be executing or playing at a higher level than the running back. Look at a guy like Nick Mangold and the job that he does and how good he is at his job. I think I'm pretty good at my job and what I'm asked to do. I excel at it.
I'm 100% confident that if I were put in another role, I could lead the league in tackles. It's not the hardest thing in the world. That's the most overblown statistic in the world. Who cares if you lead the league in tackles and you're defense is 25th, 26th or 30th in the league. Anybody can get f***** tackles. Making a tackle 5 – 10 yards down the field … that's bulls***. That means somebody blew and assignment and somebody got by. When you're a well-oiled machine it works like clockwork, but it takes everybody doing their job. Everybody knows what plays we're going to run, it's who can execute the best.
I take pride in and I don't think it's a coincidence, and yeah I know Rex is a part of it, but I don't think I've ever been part of a defense that finished out of the Top 10. Maybe once in 10 years. It damn sure wasn't lower than 15th. I've been No. 1 in this league at least three times. Since I've been in NY, a team that didn't hover in the rankings defensively, if you average my first two years I'm at a two (first in the league and third in the league). People can say what they want, that's not with a line of Pro Bowlers. People say, yeah he played with Terrell Suggs, Haloti Ngata, or Ed Reed. You've got to think that they've benefited from playing with me, as well. Like I didn't go in there and take two guys and cave in the tackle or the guard and underhook'em so Suggs could come around or other guys could come around. I love doing those types of things for my teammates.
SW: Is that just a matter of your playing style or is that dictating by the defensive scheme in NY and Baltimore?
BS: Well, the scheme is that I'm generally always to the bubble. Meaning that I'm always the guy that has the uncovered lineman looking me square in the face with no resistance in front of him. A lot of times, in certain fronts they have guys you need to go through to get to them. I'm easy access. I don't mind that because I don't mind the contact.
I don't run away or shy from contact. It doesn't matter if you're a tight end, fullback, or a guard. Center or tackle, I'll deal with you. Sometimes you get me and sometimes I get you. I'm not a guy that you can breakdown. You're not going to hit me and I'm going to say, "Oh, I want no part of that." I'm going to say, "You know what … this guy is going to have to bring it again and again." That's where I see what kind of player you are. That's an opportunity to see what kind of man you are. There are certain guys I respect because they continue to bring it. My whole philosophy is it's going to hurt you and it's going to hurt me and I'm willing to hurt longer and harder than you are. So when it's that 4th quarter or some critical time in the game and you decide to not come at the same speed you went because maybe you're a little dizzy, you're a little mildly concussed like I am, I'm going to come even worse and dare you to continue it all day.
SW: Who's one of those guys you say you respect because they continue to bring it after you've had some major collisions throughout the course of the game?
BS: The biggest battle that I've had, and he's not a guy that people know a lot about but he's from the division I played with, is Lee Vickers. Me and Lee Vickers had some tremendous battles. I've knocked him unconscious. He almost knocked me unconscious last year. I forgot all the stuff I did to him in Cleveland and he remembered. The last time, I won. I hadn't played Cleveland in two years and he remembered the battles we had and the things I'd done to him. He caught me right in the ear hole. I swear my lights went out and came back on real quick. I take pride in when I got got, I decided to stand back up and say, "You gotta bring a lot more. Good job, son. Excellent job, but let's do it again."
SW: Not only do you blow up plays taking on some of these guys, but you also beat blockers at or around the line of scrimmage. Not a lot of linebackers are able to do that. Take me through how do you're able to accomplish that.
BS: The game is about leverage. I know a lot of lineman can't get their body or their shoulders square to me, so I win. It's only when they have their shoulders square to me where they have their power. So, I know about leverage and I know I'm coming at a speed and so tight that they have to be perfect. You force them to be perfect. You force them to turn the corner tight. If you make a wide turn on me and I make a sharp turn on you, I'm going to get inside that shoulder, knock you off balance, and you're going to pay the price and be one of those guys that look at film.
I'll tell anybody that if they want to see a play that defines me, watch the first preseason game I ever played in a Jets uniform. The very first play. It's against [Jacob] Bell. He pulls, I hit him, he had a concussion, and he walked around with sunglasses for two months. The thing is, it was the second time I did it to him. I did it to him when he was in Tennessee, I believe. He didn't play until the 2nd game of the regular season. He missed all of preseason and the first game of the regular season. I put him up almost five weeks. That's me. I'm not a big dude, but I can give two flying f**** about who you are, what your resume is, or who you believe you are. If you are the best in the league, you've got to prove that to me that day.
SW: We ranked you as our No. 3 ILB in the NFL last year. As you saw in our article, we think you're a top linebacker in this league. However, you look at ESPN, they put out their top 10 linebacker rankings in April and you weren't on that Top 10 list and you didn't get a vote from the participants. Why don't you think you get the credit we think you deserve and I know you think you deserve? There are guys like Urlacher, Ray Lewis, and Jerod Mayo on that list.
BS: A lot of those are lifetime achievement rankings over a body of work [and] are guys who have tremendous name recognition. A lot of those guys don't even have to take one snap and they're going to get voted for the Pro Bowl no matter what. Even with the Pro Bowl, unless you play against a guy you really don't know what he does. If you don't play against a guy and you have to vote for the Pro Bowl, who are you going to vote for? You're going to vote for who you know. It's very hard unless a guy does something on a national stage like an interception to the house on Monday Night Football for a young guy who hasn't made a Pro Bowl to make one. Yao Ming didn't even play last year and he was one of the top voted for the NBA All Star Game.
SW: You haven't been back to the Pro Bowl in a number of years and your defenses continue to be dominant. Is that something you even care about at this point?
BS: Who cares. Did we win the game? Are we in the Super Bowl? Did we get a title? I don't care about that stuff. I couldn't care less. That's not what it's about for me. If that were the case, when I came [to NY] in the free agent signing I would have made sure I get all the top blitzes and bi*** and moan about it. Rex, whatever you need me to do … let's do it. I trust him that if this is for the better of the team and this is going to make us win, I don't give a flying f*** if I get no tackles, but I'll [blow-up] this fullback every time for my linebacker to get one. I couldn't care less.
SW: Your play against the run last year was just plain nasty, whether you're blowing up a guy or beating him off the edge. We rated you +27.5 against the run, which ranked No. 1 among inside linebackers with the closest guy being Lawrence Timmons of the Steelers at +20.1. You're seven points above the closest guy and were clearly dominant. Do you feel you're a better player against the run than the pass?
BS: Well, I think I've had more practice at that. Earlier in my career, I just lined up and took tight ends because of my safety work in college for two years. I don't really leave the field in passing situations, but when I was in Baltimore we had tremendous athletes like Adalius Thomas that would take a TE, so it gave us more flexibility. Adalius could take a TE and both of our safeties could take a TE and that allowed us to have more variety in what we were doing.
You see guys like Drew Coleman who led our team in sacks [in 2010 for the Jets]. Those were opportunities that I would get [in Baltimore] because of the other players that we had. Adalius could run with anybody. He was a 4.5 [40-time] guy and a super athlete. He allowed me to be free a lot. He allowed me to attack, so I blitzed a lot more. Here, I do a lot more coverage. If you cover somebody and they don't catch the ball, do people really know you did a good job covering your guy? They don't pay attention. It's definitely something I continue to get better at. I'll tell you, what I really got rusty at is blitzes because I didn't blitz as much in the last two years. When I did blitz, I hadn't had practice because I didn't have it in games or practice. So, you get rusty with your technique. I got sloppy and that was something I had to clean up.
SW: [Explain PFF]. Looking at your game-by-game breakdown from 2010, we rated your Week 1 against the Ravens as your top game of the year. You had six tackles, five stops, and two hits on the QB. Do you agree with that and why?
BS: I do agree with that because that was my type of game. I love those types of games. I had extra incentive because it was a rivalry game and I was familiar with the guys. The style of their play and the style of my play matched up well for a great game. I knew those guys like the back of my hand and we had a tremendous game plan like we always do, but the game plan involved me a little bit more.
SW: You've played with Rex as your defensive coordinator or head coach six of the nine years in your career. You clearly have a lot of respect for him putting him in the same sentence as Genghis Khan and Hannibal back in January. You're always saying that you'll go to war with him any time. Why such loyalty to Rex?
BS: Because he has the same exact loyalty to you. He had an opportunity to bring a lot of guys here and the loyalty is not just to me. The loyalty was to Howard Green, Marques Douglas, and guys he continues to bring. You know how Bill Belichick had his guys in Bryan Cox and guys that always traveled around with him. If you're one of Rex's guys, you're one of his guys. He doesn't give a s*** about what anybody else thinks. You're his guy. You don't have to prove anything to anyone. All you have to do is make sure you're getting it done for him.
I'm sure you guys are into the news and heard what Ed Reed said a couple of weeks ago about how disappointed he was and about how he wanted Rex to get the head job in Baltimore. No disrespect to John Harbaugh, but just how much he respected Rex, as well. It's not just me. It's anybody you talk to about the man. In life, you're afforded a couple of special people. Not special coaches. You're afforded special people. He's a special person. When you find that special person, you know. Not only do I recognize it, but everybody to ever play for him recognizes it. It had nothing to do with him being a head coach or a coordinator. The same respect was given to him when he was a D-line coach. You know when people have the "it" factor? You know when somebody's special.
SW: You've played with Rex for a long time, so I figure you'd be the best person to answer this. With all the Super Bowl talk all last season, the Super Bowl talk in the playoffs in the '09 season, and now this offseason … does it ever become a boy who cried wolf thing with Rex talking like this?
BS: No, not at all. People don't understand. A lot of time he makes those statements to take the pressure off a young quarterback or take pressure off a young running back. When you're so worried about him, you're not thinking about what Mark Sanchez is doing, what Joe McKnight is doing, or what Kyle Wilson is doing. There's no pressure on them because nobody because no one is focusing on what's going on with them. It allows them to mature and continue to grow without having to listen to criticism. If they can't talk about Rex saying something bold, when it comes to NY Jets what are they going to talk about? There's always a method to the madness. Sanchez doesn't have to deal with some of those comments that are coming up about [Joe] Flacco. That allows Mark to continue to get better. That allows me to get better. That allows Shonn Greene to get better. Kyle Wilson to get better, who didn't play a lot. Working his butt off. He can just play.
SW: Being from NY, it's great seeing the attitude that's come with Rex, the team has, and you brought here. Fans around the country now hate Jets' fans, hate the Jets, and hate everything about them.
BS: Yeah, well, at least they're something. Before that, you didn't even see the Jets on ESPN. Nobody was talking about them. You didn't know what the Jets were. No matter what you say, the Jets are something. "The Jets are some cocky little ***holes, I hate them." Ok, that's fine. At least you're talking about them.
SW: Sticking on that, the Jets historically had this stigma of a losing franchise. One of Rex's big things when he came in to NY was changing the mentality of the franchise. As you're well aware, you were a big part of that and why Rex pulled to have you sign in NY. After two years with the team, do you think the losing mentality has changed at this point with two trips to the AFC Championship?
BS: Of course because when the s*** hit the fan, you watch guys that can't close, or team's that didn't know how to finish when the s*** hit the fan. Now that we've been able to have those experiences together, instead of thinking, "Oh, I hope we don't lose to the Lions or Cleveland," it's "We're doing to find a way to win … I don't care what we gotta do. We're going to win this." Guys can believe it. People thought he was crazy the first year when we went to the playoffs and Rex said we were a dangerous team. One bad half and the nickel from pulling his groin from beating Peyton Manning and going to the Super Bowl. It's only going to get better.
Every day you wake up, you have an opportunity to decide who you want to be and what you want to do in life. Every day. If you want to be a winner, you wake up with a winner's attitude. You prepare like a winner. You talk like a winner. You don't creep up on greatness. You don't creep up on the Super Bowl. You believe it, you talk about it, you put it in the atmosphere, and you go get it. It takes a lot of balls. A lot of people are waiting for us to put our foot in our mouth, so they can say, "Ha! Ha! Ha!" How many other teams (other than four or five) wouldn't have had a complete collapse under all the pressure, scrutiny, the scandals? Hard Knocks and saying Super Bowl with teams giving their best to shut our mouth? They couldn't do it.
We didn't get where we wanted to get, but we've got a lot of stuff to be proud of and a lot of stuff to build on. Same old Jets my a**. You're right the same old Jets. Going along, balling out in the playoffs, and having an opportunity to play in the Super Bowl, or get to the Super Bowl every year. That's how we roll now. That's the Jets' way. Show up to work and know every offseason with Woody Johnson, Mike Tannenbaum, and Rex Ryan that you got an opportunity to play in the Super Bowl. Some teams they show up, get put together, and they don't have a chance in hell. They know they don't even got a chance in hell. They come in there to collect a check and come December 25th, they play their last two games, collect their belongings after the [regular] season.
SW: I want to talk about Sanchez. In his first two seasons, he performed reasonably well leading the offense to the two AFC Championships as we talked about. He played solid in the playoffs both years. He still gets a ton of grief from most saying that it's all the running game carrying him, it's the defense carrying him … what are your feelings on that?
BS: You're damn straight. That's what teammates do. They carry each other. How many yards did Ben Roethlisberger throw for in his first Super Bowl? Exactly. What was his quarterback rating? What matters? They won the game. Everyone wants to talk about Mark Sanchez, "If Peyton Manning were with that team or Drew Brees …" People don't remember that Brees got thrown out of town and he didn't start with his breakout season until Philip Rivers was drafted. They drafted Philip Rivers for a reason. It wasn't because they were ecstatic about Drew Brees and thinking he was the answer. He stepped his game up when Philip Rivers got there and performed outstanding, and is now one of the better QBs in the NFL. How many years did that take?
I hope you're smarter than you were in high school. It takes time to mature, develop, and get experience. The only way you get that experience is by playing. Peyton Manning didn't light it up his first year the last time I checked. I still think they're trying to find the balls that hit the defensive players.
SW: What do you think he needs to do to get out from under that hate cloud?
BS: As long as we're out there like that and we lose, he's going to get the brunt of it. It comes with the territory. He has wide shoulders. He understands the market we live in. Everything we do is scrutinized. Look at Eli Manning. He's a Super Bowl Champion and they try to throw his a** out of town every other week. You've got to have big shoulders. That's why not everybody can play in this market.
I think he's going to be a tremendous QB and he's going to continue to learn the game, learn from experience, and get chemistry being in the same system with the same players with a young nucleus of D'Brickashaw Ferguson, Shonn Greene, Joe McKnight, Dustin Keller, and Nick Mangold to continue to grow with. He ain't doing too bad to throw two AFC Championships on is resume. I bet Tony Gonzalez is still wishing he could have one of those playoff wins.
SW: Can you talk a little bit about one of Rex's favorite guys who was undrafted, linebacker Jamaal Westerman out of Rutgers. Rex always has great things to say about Jamaal. He's coming from a similar situation that you came from being undrafted.
BS: When I say guys who benefited from the offseason program and being with trainers, Jamaal is ready and he's focused. I think he took a lot of notes that they didn't draft an outside pass rusher. He knew that that means they believe in him. Sometimes all it takes is a player to know they believe in him. I think he took a step backward last year because Jason Taylor was added to the roster and knowing that he wasn't going to be called on. A lot of times, you're not called on and you prepare like you're not going to be called on.
Especially with a player who had some success his first year, it hurts to take two steps forward and one back. Now he understands what's important to be a professional. Same thing I had to deal with – learn to be more consistent. He's had flashes of greatness and showed how explosive he is getting off the ball, but then he would have a mental lapse. That's all about learning and being comfortable.
What happens is that you're 2nd year, you think you know, but you forget that you don't know s***. You have to prepare the same way. You've heard it, you've seen it, and you get comfortable. You're always on the edge as a rookie because you think you might get cut, especially when you're an undrafted free agent. Now he knows what's expected of him in his 3rd year in the league.
SW: In the NFL draft in April, defense was clearly a focus for the Jets. What'd you think of the Jets first two picks in the draft addressing the D-Line?
BS: I'm excited. Let me tell you a secret. We got four players I want you to pay attention to. Jeff Cumberland: TE that no one knows about. I think he can be one of the best TEs this year or next year in the NFL.
SW: Why is that? I know he's a good pass-catching guy.
BS: This dude is 260 lbs, runs a 4.40, and I've seen this guy touch the top of the ceiling in the locker room.
SW: Alright, that's one guy.
BS: That's one. Ropati [Pitoitua]: the guy that Jenkins took off in Hard Knocks. Six foot nine, 315 lbs. He's learning how to play low and is ready for a breakout season. Tremendous talent. Can't wait to see him. I'm excited because we were super thin at D-line last year and now you add youth and size and the guys that played great last year [Mike] Devito and [Sione] Pouha get an opportunity to be in a rotation and stay fresh.
SW: You just used your coined phrase [Can't Wait]. Do you have to pay yourself royalties?
BS: Yeah, I gotta pay myself 10 cents.
SW: Ok, that's two guys.
BS: Joe McKnight is ready to come out to. I know we drafted a guy from Louisville that's going to be great for us too, but Joe McKnight is ready to go. It took him a while to learn how to be a pro. Vlad Ducasse is ripped up right now. I've watched Vlad on the inclines with almost 400 lbs and he's worked off all that baby fat. All gone. He's working ridiculous. He's lean. He's 345 lbs. If I can say a lean 345, he's a lean 345.
You can certainly see and feel why Rex Ryan made a point of brining Bart to the Jets back in 2009 as part of his overhaul of the franchise. His aggressive, unselfish, bold, vocal, and above all his top priority is winning. You can't ask for more.

PCL notes: Buss travels to other side
Just after changing organizations, River Cats outfielder faces 'Topes
By Chris Jackson / Special to MiLB.com | May 12, 2014 10:00 AM ET
Baseball players change teams all the time, but it is rare for a player to wind up facing his old club on his first day in a new uniform.
Yet that is exactly what happened to outfielder Nick Buss, who was on the Albuquerque Isotopes at the start of May and then an Isotopes opponent less than one week later.
Buss was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on May 1, claimed by the Athletics on May 4 and then suited up for the Sacramento River Cats on May 6 in Albuquerque against the Isotopes.
"It's a little unique, especially having the first game be against your old team," Buss said. "But it was a pretty fun game. It was a little bit strange seeing [pitcher] Red Patterson out there and seeing all the guys I played with in the field. But it was all good."
Buss was a Pacific Coast League All-Star last season when he hit .303 with 17 home runs and a league-leading 100 RBIs for the Isotopes. But in an organization flush with outfielders, Buss found himself repeating Triple-A without much of a chance to move up.
"It's good for Chili," said Isotopes pitcher Stephen Fife, referring to Buss by his second middle name. "We have a lot of outfielders ahead of him [and] we have Joc Pederson kind of waiting in the wings as well. With the position he's in here, maybe as a sixth- or seventh-option guy, it's a really good opportunity for him to get out of here."
Buss agreed he should have a better chance to get back to the Majors with the A's than the Dodgers, but nothing is guaranteed.
"Yeah, in a sense it probably is," Buss said. "But you never know how anything is going to shake out until it's over. Honestly, I'm just taking it a day at a time and if it works out, that's great. I'm just trying to make the best of it."
Buss did not have to travel far to join his new team. While he was waiting for waivers to be processed, Buss said he visited his brother in Marina del Rey, California, before coming back to Albuquerque.
"That was probably the most unique part, having the days off, the down time where I was basically in limbo, doing nothing. I went home and then came back, and right when I got back, I found out I got picked up by the A's and came and joined them."
Buss met his new teammates as they got off the bus at Isotopes Park on May 6. He then went 3-for-12 with two RBIs in four games against the Isotopes.
"Honestly, that's probably the toughest part was you get used to playing with a group of guys -- there are some guys I've been with since 2008 over there -- it's very unique to be on the other side of the field," Buss said.
In brief
Chasing relief: Omaha lefty reliever Donnie Joseph had a string of six straight scoreless outings snapped Friday when he gave up a run against Round Rock, but still earned the victory. In those previous six appearances, the Royals' No. 13 prospect had allowed just one hit while striking out 13 batters in 7 1/3 innings.
Express delivery: Round Rock right-hander Nick Tepesch skipped the PCL last season, save for one start, en route to going 4-6 with the Texas Rangers. Crowded out of Texas' rotation, Tepesch is doing his best to prove he deserves another shot, going 6-1 with a 1.58 ERA in his first seven starts this year for the Express.
Seeking a sting: No. 2 Angels prospect Taylor Lindsey is still trying to catch fire for Salt Lake. The second baseman has hit just .247 with four home runs and 18 RBIs, though he nearly has many walks (17) as strikeouts (20).

text: PARK RIDGE, N.J., April 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HTZ) (the "Company") announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Hertz Corporation ("Hertz"), has successfully completed a repricing of its currently outstanding $1,372 billion senior secured tranche B term loan facility. As part of the repricing, the tranche B term loans will be replaced by new tranche B-2 term loans. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110810/NY50373LOGO ) The expected interest savings are driven by a reduction in the applicable margin charged on Eurodollar borrowings under the new tranche B-2 term loans from 275 basis points to 225 basis points, and by a reduction in the interest rate floor applicable to Eurodollar borrowings under the new tranche B-2 term loans from 100 basis points to 75 basis points. To reprice the tranche B term loans, Hertz amended the terms of its March 2011 term loan credit agreement. The terms and conditions of the new tranche B-2 term loans with respect to maturity, collateral, and covenants are otherwise unchanged compared to the tranche B term loans. ABOUT THE COMPANY Hertz operates its car rental business through the Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands from approximately 10,270 corporate, licensee and franchisee locations in North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia, Australia, Africa, the Middle East and New Zealand. Hertz is the largest worldwide airport general use car rental brand, operating from approximately 8,860 corporate and licensee locations in approximately 150 countries. Our Dollar and Thrifty brands have approximately 1,410 corporate and franchisee locations in 83 countries. Our Hertz brand name is one of the most recognized in the world, signifying leadership in quality rental services and products. We are one of the only car rental companies that has an extensive network of company‑operated rental locations both in the United States and in all major European markets. We believe that we maintain the leading airport car rental brand market share, by overall reported revenues, in the United States and at 120 major airports in Europe where we have company‑operated locations and where data regarding car rental concessionaire activity is available. We believe that we also maintain the second largest market share, by overall reported revenues, in the off-airport car rental market in the United States. In our equipment rental business segment, we rent equipment through approximately 340 branches in the United States, Canada, France, Spain, China and Saudi Arabia, as well as through our international licensees. We and our predecessors have been in the car rental business since 1918 and in the equipment rental business since 1965. We also own Donlen Corporation, based in Northbrook, Illinois, which is a leader in providing fleet leasing and management services.

I do think the tide is changing. The ABC video was from 3-4 years ago and I know that that blog post was from at least 2-3 years ago (but probably a little more).
It's hard to know for certain, but I think curly hair is making a comeback. Take the year's biggest movie, The Hunger Games: even though Katniss is supposed to have dead-straight hair, they gave the actress natural-looking waves for her "makeover." Rue had natural hair, even though disappointingly the girl had hers' realxed in real life (the actress, not the character). Even "Glimmer" -- the blonde girl meant to be a major object of affection for the lead and pompous male had curly/wavy hair for her interviews. And these were meant to be moments where these characters looked their absolute best.
If you take a look at this promotional image, only "Foxface" seems to have less-than-2b/c hair, but it's still a far cry from dead-straight:
The Hunger Games
And, again, these actors and actresses are meant to be up-and-coming stars in one of the biggest franchises of the next few years.
I also seem to see waves and curls more and more in fashion magazine and beauty spreads. This is all anecdotal, but I wouldn't be surprised if flat-ironed hair isn't becoming a little passe because it is so unnatural-looking.
Flat-out curls might still be a ways off, but I do think that we're definitely coming past the flat-iron years and back into a place of a little more wave-and-curl acceptance when it comes to attractiveness.

Blackest Night: A Holiday Carol
We've got a special holiday treat for you today on ComicsAlliance: A "Blackest Night" Christmas carol parody to the tune of "Silent Night," written and performed by myself and the Eisner Award-winning Douglas Wolk in two-part harmony with ukulele backup, all for your amusement.
We originally put this together for the War Rocket Ajax holiday special podcast, which also features Matt Fraction "playing piano," an unforgettable holiday story from Rick Remender involving an elevator and farts, a Wolverine/Jean Grey version of the super-creepy "Baby It's Cold Outside," and Colleen Coover singing "Santa Baby." Probably, you should go listen to it.
A video version of our holiday contribution is after the jump, and while neither Douglas nor myself are Aretha Franklin, we think "Blackest Night" fans may be amused, plus you get to watch me busting out a Christmas carol about evil corpses in super-dramatic karaoke style while Douglas does a pretty great Nekron impression around 0:42.
Merry Christmas!

This year is the Australian Year of the Farmer and managing director director, Geoff Bell thinks there's a lot to celebrate.
Agriculture is exempt from paying for the greenhouse gasses it produces under the Government's carbon pricing scheme despite it making up about 17 per cent of Australia's emissions. But is this a free ride?
Changes to savanna burning, a traditional indigenous land management practice across northern Australia, have reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
Despite the federal government and opposition shifting focus from an emissions trading scheme, many farmers, both here and overseas, still talk about one with a sense of inevitability.
We are in an extinction crisis, globally. And this century the fate of tropical forests will be the biggest driver of this crisis.

The Government's Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme has certainly put the cat among the pigeons. The Liberal Party is burning itself up and it looks as though the Senate will not pass the ETS.

Media Advisory: Boon or Boondoggle? Atlanta Fed Conference Probes the Role of Sports and Entertainment in Economic Development
The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta will host a two-day conference titled "Sports & Entertainment: Economic Development Boon or Boondoggle?" on September 14 and 15, 1995. The conference will focus on the fundamental question underlying economic development initiatives based on sports, casinos, and entertainment: Are they vital catalysts to growth, or do they impose burdens on local taxpayers while private organizations reap most of the gains?

Jackson, former mayor of the City of Atlanta and Sherman R.
