Statistically Speaking - Super Bowl Edition
Feb. 1, 2013
by Dave McMahon
Super Bowl Sunday! Many fans of the Georgia Bulldogs are also fans of the Atlanta Falcons, so many of you are pretty bummed right now. Despite the Falcons loss, the Ravens and the 49ers matchup looks real good. Both teams have star players and a brand of football that thrills most viewers. But I am not here to talk much about either one of the Harbaugh teams; I am here to talk about the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl as it relates to the Georgia Bulldogs.
So for all you passionate fans, here are some more notes, nuggets and tidbits of information all things Georgia Bulldogs, statistically speaking of course. For the most complete information on a specific upcoming game please check out the individual sport and game you are looking for on www.georgiadogs.com and for even more statistical insights you can follow me on twitter @dave_mc_stats.
And now for the extra stuff...
(I apologize if you do not understand roman numerals since I will be using them, but after all, when in Rome...)
As most of you know already Georgia is the only school that has "three different" Super Bowl Most Valuable Players. Some schools have three MVPs, but the rest have at least one duplicate. Here are the schools with three MVPs.

Georgia also had a former player that was a head coach in the Super Bowl. Former quarterback John Rauch who led the Bulldogs in the mid-to-late 1940s was also the head coach of Super Bowl II for the Oakland Raiders. They lost that game to Vince Lombardi's Packers (which was also Lombardi's last game as Packers' head coach). Rauch is the all-time leader in win pct by a Raiders' head coach (.798). He was also the head coach after Al Davis and before John Madden (not bad company).
Here are former Georgia players that you cheer on in this year's Super Bowl.
Dannell Ellerbe played linebacker from 2005 to 2008. After college, Ellerbe signed as a free agent to Baltimore on May 8, 2009. Since then he has wreaked havoc on opposing players. Over the last 4 seasons, he has played 56 games including starting seven of the last ten regular season games. He has 182 career tackles and 5 ½ sacks. In the last playoff game against the New England Patriots, Ellerbe had a big interception thrown by Tom Brady to help seal the victory. But, what he does best in the NFL is tackles and here are his best games in his young career according to tackles.
October 21, 2012 at Texans - 12 tackles
In the playoffs, Ellerbe is 2nd on the team in solo tackles with 19, he trails only Ray Lewis.
DeAngelo Tyson plays defensive end for the Ravens. He played for the Dawgs from 2008 to 2011. He was a 7th round pick (236th overall) in the 2012 NFL Draft. This season he has played in 10 games, including 2 starts and made 11 tackles and has made another tackle in the postseason as well.
Demarcus Dobbs is currently on the injured reserve for the San Francisco 49ers. He is listed as a defensive tackle for the Niners as well as tight end. He played for Georgia from 2007 to 2010. For San Francisco he has played in 24 games and has made 7 career tackles.

Silchar, Feb. 9: Assam chief minister Tarun Gogoi has ruled out upgrade of the hill district, Dima Hasao, into a state.
Talking to reporters at Congress Bhawan here last night, Gogoi said his government fully agreed with the Centre that further upgrade of Assam's indigenous community-populated districts into separate states would be "unjustifiable" and, hence, such demands should always be discouraged. The Hill State Demand Committee has recently renewed its demand for upgrade of the Dima Hasong Autonomous Council area into a separate state.
Gogoi said the Centre was not very keen on dividing "some compactly held states" in the country into smaller states.
Asked about Telangana, he said, "It is a separate issue that has been brewing in Andhra Pradesh for quite some time now."
Gogoi, who is on a two-day Barak valley tour to drum up support for Congress candidates in the panchayat election, was hopeful that his party would sweep the polls and bag "more or less the same number of seats" as in the previous elections.
Gogoi said his government had been able to consolidate the state's economy, with the GDP reaching 8.2 per cent and the per capita income growing to Rs 37,000.
"We have been able to tone up the state's employment position and expand the education and health sectors," he said. "But we should not be content after achieving only the limited success in these key fields. We have to make more leeway in these spheres."
He said his government would, from now on, lay more stress on vocational education, agriculture mechanisation and extension of irrigation facilities in the winter months with an aim of making the bulk of the state's 20 lakh educated unemployed youths economically self-reliant ' a task in which the AGP and its mentor, the NDA government, had failed.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Earlier this week John Henry told WEEI that he was fined $500,000 in 2009 for criticizing MLB and their revenue sharing model. Specifically, this is what he had to say: "Over a billion dollars has been paid to seven chronically uncompetitive teams, five of whom have had baseball's highest operating profits. Who, except these teams, can think this is a good idea?" Well if you put it that way John, that actually makes a whole hell of a lot of sense.
First of all, 500k MLB? Pump the brakes. To give you a little context, $500,000 is the same amount that Belichick was fined for 'Spygate." And that was cheating! This is actually calling someone out for good reason. Sounds like someone has a sore spot, eh? More on that to come. But this is like getting fined $10,000 for calling your boss out for throwing like a girl in the company softball game.
Second of all, I thought this was America! You know, where freedom, and specifically freedom of speech reigns? All types of yahoos get to speak their mind in this country with no consequences. Just watch Fox News some night. So why penalize someone that has a lucid, intelligent remark? Well, if I could fine people for calling me out publicly for my inadequacies I probably would too. But, let's take a close look and what Mr. Henry is all hot and bothered about.
Revenue sharing began in its infancy in 1995 but didn't really resemble the form it is now until 2002 during the Collective Bargaining negotiations. The idea is simple. Improve the level of competition amongst the teams in the league. Personally I think people just got sick and tired of seeing the Yankees win World Series. I know I did. As we all, begrudgingly, remember from 1995-2000 the Yankees won 4 out of the 6 championships. And, as we all know, if there is one thing people hate more than a team that loses all the time it's a team that wins all the time. In all seriousness, though, an imbalance was recognized by all the smarties over at the league office. Basically, they saw that the ratio of payroll spending by the top seven revenue teams versus the bottom seven went from less than 2-to-1 in the 1980s to 3.5-to-1 in the 1990s. The rich were getting richer and the poor poorer. So, on some level I commend MLB for stepping in and trying to rectify this proactively. Perhaps our great nation could take some queues? I say some queues because the problem that John Henry is talking about is 100% MLB's fault. But, I'll get to that.
What revenue sharing dictates is that there is a pool of money formed and managed centrally by MLB. That pool has two sources. The first is the national contracts MLB signs (i.e. TV, radio, merchandise etc.). This money is distributed evenly to all the teams. For instance in 2009, each club received a check for $30 million. The second source is from the individual teams. Each team pays a certain percentage of their local revenue which comes from broadcasts, ticketing, concessions etc.). This money is then divided up amongst the teams disproportionally with lower revenue teams receiving more.
The first iteration of the modern revenue sharing model ran from 2002-2006. On paper it looked like the problem was being addressed. The higher revenue teams were to pay 40% of their local revenue into the MLB central fund while lower revenue teams paid 48%. The real problem was that there were some deadbeat owners screwing the system.
The whole point of revenue sharing was to improve your team, thus making it more competitive right? In fact there is specific language in the Collective Bargaining agreement that points that out. It states teams must use revenue sharing money "in an effort to improve its performance on the field." Ok, makes sense.
However, in 2007, Forbes reported that from 2002 to 2006, the Royals' revenue-sharing dollars doubled to $32 million, while their player costs increased only 6 percent. Similarly, in 2006 and 2007, the Florida Marlins (a team John Henry is probably intricately familiar with) reportedly received more than $60 million in revenue sharing, according to The Hardball Times, but the team had opening day payrolls totaling $45.5 million.
Keep in mind that even though the lower revenue teams are paying a higher percentage into that central fund the disparity in the amount paid is literally tens of millions of dollars if not more. So, if I'm the Red Sox or Yankees and I'm paying in $75 million a year into this fund while the Marlins pay in $750,000 I'd be fairly pissed if this money wasn't even being used to improve their team. I would imagine any of you red-blooded Americans out there who love money would feel the same way. And if you don't, move to Norway and stop drinking my Budweiser.
The messed up thing about this model was that there was a disincentive for a lower revenue club to field a better team. Under the 2002-2006, deal more money coming in from ticket sales meant less money coming in from revenue sharing. So if you owned and team and realized you weren't going to make a run, why bother? Well, some would call that shrewd while others would like to slap those owners in the face with a week-old halibut. I consider myself amongst the latter.
However, the current deal, started in 2006, rectifies this a bit. The percentage paid by teams into the communal MLB fund has been lowered to 31% for both higher and lower revenue teams. Therefore the more money teams bring in locally the more they have to keep.
A big issue with how teams 'improve on-field performance' is up to perspective. As someone who doesn't know crap about running a baseball team, I would think that has to do with signing better players, improving scouting, gathering more-talented personnel, or even improving your stadium. But, the shrewd business owners lobby that paying down club debt is just as valuable.
"The MLBPA's position is that revenue sharing should not be used to pay down club debt," union executive director Michael Weiner said. "We have consistently expressed to the commissioner's office that using revenue-sharing proceeds to pay down debt does not improve a team's performance on the field."
As I mentioned before, I would agree with this.
On the other hand, here's what some teams argue. When you're at that low-revenue period, you're still going to be getting your revenue-sharing. So, if you can develop some young studs and get rid of some club debt, you can position yourself for a much higher player payroll when that roster becomes older and legit superstars. So, when your team is sick after a number of years of development (i.e. Tampa Bay Rays) you can spend some cash on getting free agents etc., and not have to worry about paying debt.
I think that's fine, and I'm positive that ideology is NOT what John Henry is pissed about. The Tampa Bay Rays did it right. They had some down years, retooled and are clearly a powerhouse (or at least were for the past several years). Henry's beef is with teams that NEVER get better. I'm looking at you Royals and Pirates. What gives? Where is all this money going to? Are you that woefully inept at running a baseball team? If so, hit the bricks and get someone in there who can handle the job (more on this later). Or, are you just a lazy fat cat using that money to line your pockets? Either way something has to be done.
Well, if revenue sharing money is being managed centrally, then this problem should be dealt with centrally. Sadly this is easier said than done. According to Baseball Prospectus: "In 2001, MLB's most profitable team was none other than Commissioner Bud Selig's own Milwaukee Brewers, who play in the majors' smallest market. Even with a new ballpark, the Brewers' local revenues remained below the industry average, so the Brewers received a revenue-sharing check despite turning a $14 million profit without it." Oh hold on, it gets more screwed up.
That same year, six other teams (the Cubs, Orioles, Cardinals, Mets, Indians, and Red Sox) saw their operating profits turn into multimillion-dollar losses after they had paid their 'dues' to revenue sharing. Wait, what?!
So, after knowing this type of information, does John Henry's comment seem so out of line? What about the fine levied by Bud Selig and MLB? I smell something that stinks worse than baby diapers.
If Selig is the guy who should take a look and fix this problem while at the same time is one of the guys profiting the most, then what is his incentive? I don't have an MBA but I'd say there's not a whole hell of a lot. I'd say there might be a little conflict of interest there. I also don't have a lot of faith in this problem getting fixed expeditiously.
Let's get something straight. I'm an American and a fan of revenue sharing, welfare and all other things that improve competition and create a level playing field. It makes a better marketplace for the consumer. I'm a consumer, I like when things are better for me. If you're a consumer, I bet you like it when things are awesome too.
So, if I had a meeting at MLB central offices, I'd go in there with two proposals. But, first off, I'd stop in at Harold Reynolds' office and hang out there for a bit. He seems like a cool guy and I think he got a bum deal from ESPN and I'd tell him so. After that I'd walk into Bud's office and plead with him to get a new haircut because I couldn't take him seriously otherwise.
But, when we finally got down to brass tacks, I'd have two proposals.
Put someone NOT running a team in charge of this and have them monitor the teams you dope! Set strict guidelines on how teams should use the money to improve their on-field performance. If the teams don't adhere to these rules on a yearly basis, they get a lesser chunk of the revenue sharing money. For repeat offenders, they gradually get a smaller and smaller percentage until they get nothing unless they play by your rules. Duh. Why is this not happening? Maybe because the guy making the decisions would stand to lose out if this was implemented? Call me crazy.
Listen, there are a ton of professional baseball leagues in the country. It should be viewed as an extreme privilege to be playing at the top (MLB) level. If teams don't want to work their asses off and spend their money in a smart way, they should be relegated to the minors. Those of you familiar with the English Premier League will be familiar with this concept.
Instead of team owners just facing another losing season, if they don't give it 100%, they would face a downward spiral that would have them facing the Toledo Mud Hens on Opening Day next season. Plus, if there are some young, aspiring front office types at the minor league level that are clearly outperforming their major league peers, reward them for it! Imagine that, reaping what you sow!
Normally if there was a late September game between the Pirates and Mets and both teams were 30+ games out of first, that game would suck to watch right? Both teams would have mailed it in. BUT, if they were fighting to stay in the majors and not be dropped down to AAA, they would play their asses off. Thus, the fans stay interested, go to games and see a quality product even without their team fighting for a playoff spot.
Granted, there is a lot more that goes into this model that I won't get into here, but I think it could work. As I mentioned before, there is enough baseball being played in this country to make this happen.
If you weren't already familiar with the quasi details of revenue sharing, I hope this helped shed a little light. And keep in mind revenue sharing is completely different from the luxury tax. The money for each comes from different sources and is distributed differently.
But, knowing what I know now, I don't blame John Henry at all for his comments. In fact, I probably would have said something much more vicious. Especially on a morning show. I'm a hot head that enjoys a few beers with his eggs and tend to get extra vigorous in the a.m. But, the fact that he was fined $500,000 says more about Bud Selig's insecurity with this issue than it does about Henry's bravado.
Let's review Henry's comments:
"Over a billion dollars has been paid to seven chronically uncompetitive teams, five of whom have had baseball's highest operating profits."
Based on that information from Baseball Prospectus mentioned above, whom do you think Henry is talking about specifically?

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
It's halfway through the 2008 season and it's flown by, at least for this fan/blogger. For this week's 2-Point Conversion column I'll be taking a look at the two glaring inconsistencies which could keep the Patriots from making a deep run in the playoffs.
There were many different reactions and opinions when the Patriots decided not to show Asante Samuel the money and allowed their shutdown corner to take his act to Philadelphia. I've said in the past that I supported that decision but was cautious on what kind of secondary Bill Belichick would throw out in '08. Eight weeks into the season we haven't seen much more than we expected. Free agent signee Tank Williams and Rodney Harrison have both suffered season ending injuries and some of the veterans brought in to stabilize the corps haven't worked out (though Jason Webster is now back in a Patriots uniform), the rookies cannot be expected to significantly contribute, and Ellis Hobbs is not a number one corner.
Hobbs has garnered a lot of flack in the last few years and even more this year now that he's supposed to be 'the man.' Surely I've been critical of him, mostly because he loves to showboat but doesn't back up the talk all the time. But it's important that we take a step back and take a look around the league and see where the shutdown corners are coming from. Almost in every case, a dominant cornerback was drafted in the first round because of freak athletic ability and room for growth. We were spoiled with Asante Samuel because he was drafted later in the draft and became a stop-gap corner. Hobbs is small and was drafted in the third round of the 2005 draft. He hasn't been a bust at the position, we just have to realize that shutdown corners almost always come from the first round and Hobbs will never become what Asante Samuel meant to the defense.
All that said, the secondary has to improve. No one is expecting great things but on the off chance the front seven can't get quarterback pressure, more plays have to be made down the field. Deltha O'Neal has had moments of very good and very bad, Brandon Meriweather seems to be gelling more and more with the defense and Hobbs has done reasonably well against No. 1 receivers. I'd like to see a lot more out of James Sanders, who raised the hopes of Patriots fans that he is the heir apparent to Rodney Harrison at the safety position. Safety cover over the top was a big problem against the Chargers and it will be in the coming weeks.
With most of the running backs on the DL (by that I do NOT mean the down-low) we all have seen what the running game can bring. Sammy Morris and Kevin Faulk, when healthy, can provide a formidable running attack which can churn up the clock and keep the opposing defense on the field. Much has been made of the growth of Matt Cassel after he was thrown into a very tough situation. He is most definitely getting better, but the status quo will not get the job done late in the season and in the playoffs.
Pass protection has been an issue for the offensive line but a lot has to be blamed on the lack of Cassel's internal clock. We've been spoiled to see Tom Brady effortlessly distribute the ball time after time when he was about to get drilled (and I think we all know we were spoiled) and it was alarming to see a Patriots quarterback hold on to the ball too long and take a sack – for a second it looks like Cassel's 16 turns into an 11 on that jersey. He has improved in that aspect and seems to have a grasp on the short and intermediate offense which we saw a lot of back in 2001.
To make the next step Cassel will have to develop the long ball, or at least show the capacity to complete a few when necessary. No one is asking him to throw 49 touchdowns or heave a perfect 50 yard pass down the field to Randy Moss every other possession, but defenses have already started creeping up on him and until he shows the ability to go deep, the Patriots will have to win a lot of games with defense and it's tough to see how this year's defense could possibly compare to that of 2001.
Now at 5-3, I think the Patriots will go on a nice little run in the division here and will end the season 10-6 and claim the AFC East crown. I see those predictions coming through even if both the secondary and quarterback play don't improve, however I don't see a deep playoff run if improvements aren't made. In a season where the AFC (and the entire NFL for that matter) is the most wide open it's been in years, the Patriots could enter the playoffs in a position where if they get the right match ups we could see them yet again in the Super Bowl.

Cassel has improved, and he played very well yet again today against the Bills. He's no Tom Brady…but he's also no Rohan Davey, Michael Bishop, or even Scott Zolak.

This is a discussion on How much more reliable have your revolvers been than your semi-autos? within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Revolvers can jam, but it has been less often for me - as in a handful of times over 35 years. My 22 kit gun ...
Much more reliable.
Much less reliable.
About the same.
Revolvers can jam, but it has been less often for me - as in a handful of times over 35 years. My 22 kit gun had such a narrow cylinder gap that I finally filed it it open it a little...otherwise it would bind up after perhaps 50 rounds. But it has been good to go for the last 30+ years. I had a new S&W that would only fire DA. Turned out the strain screw was about to fall out, and I hadn't checked that. Once tightened, it shot everything asked. If you buy reloaded ammo at a gun show, it is a good idea to check for primers sticking out. That can prevent the gun from firing, although I wouldn't use ammo reloaded by a stranger as defense ammo. And that is it.
I gave 3 semi autos the I shoot the most: Springfield XD (USPSA), Glock 36 (carry,IDPA) and Springfield TRP (all 3). The XD has THOUSANDS of rounds through it. Probably 2-3k through the 36. The TRP is new and only has around 500 or so through it. The only issue I've had with any of them were ammo related (improperly sized reloads). After I corrected the issue with my reloading technique, all run like champs. I wouldn't hesitate to trust my life to any of them.
I think as long as you buy quality and practice using correct techniques, a semi will benefit you.
you must know your gun, use the best ammo for your gun and pratice with your gun. The best quality gun always helps.
I shoot more than the average bear. One of the benefits of free ammo I suppose. Usually not that important, but for the purpose of this conversation I'd say it matters. My Glock 23 and STI 1911 have had about 12,000 rounds through them so far this year. No issues from either pistol... nor have I had problems in the past with either one other than a faulty 1911 magazine that has since been thrown away. The second round from that magazine would require a tap/rack just about every time.
My mom's duty first duty gun was a S&W model 10. No clue how many rounds she put through it or how many I have but it isn't a small number. Never a problem. Her Model 66 is a malfunction machine due to light strikes but that's due to an idiot deciding to play gun smith with it. She has a Model 64 snubbie that's never had a hiccup. I have a 642 that runs like a champ every time you ask it to.
On the other hand I have a PF9 that likes to give me problems. I had a Wilson 1911 that was a nightmare. I had a Hi Power that nobody could figure out but it wouldn't eject reliably no matter who shot it or who worked on it. You do have to make sure the gun will work. But if it does, you can feel pretty sure it'll keep on working as long as you maintain it properly.

I think with a well made and assembled pistol or revolver thats well serviced over the years ether will run for a life time. But that was before MIM and forged. Buy a borderline firearm and just know that something will break in it one day. I have a buddy with a early pair of springfireld 1911 with over 80,000 rounds thru each with no breakdowns used for match shooting. He also has a newer springfield 1911 for different class with only a few thosand rounds shot . It broke the extractor this weekend. Its ether cast or MIM piece. Broke in 3 pieces. I have an old taurus j frame and 3 DW revolvers both with forged parts that have many thousands of rounds fire and all work still like new and a 1964 colt huntsman that may have 100,000 rounds thru it. Still all orginal and a nice plinker. Buy some made today and it may not make 50 rounds.
Gentlemen, as i often tell my daughters, the truth doesn't matter anymore, only what you choose to believe as truth matters. I love all my different guns both revolvers and semi autos. I used to constantly carry my Glock 22 40. Caliber S&W as my primary concealed carry weapon. I love that gun. However bly sweat and small of the back sweat made me constantly have to.clean it and even sandpaper some small rust spots off. So i started double packing and also carrying my SW 627 8 shot revolver in stainless steel. It never got any rust spots. So i switched to a stainless 45 ACP which is very formidable. Yet it was harder to conceal. Both semi autos required routine cleaning due to lint , belly sweat etc. as a concealed carry weapon. I used them all often. Yet the 8 shot 357 mag never rusted , always shot 8 and never had a hiccup, yet was deadly accurate, reliable, no matter the ammo or situation. It has plenty of.stopping power. As much as any semi auto. Yet i still preferred the semi autos. However my backup mags always stayed loaded as extra mags. I would just continually load the one magazine. After much use the number one magazine springs became worn and would occasionally cause stovepipes and jams even in factory ammo. So i switched to the backup mags which turns out also had worn springs from being compressed and unused causing jams and stovepipes. So i bought all new mags for both semi autos. Still occasional stovepipes and jams so i got the springs redone in the semi autos slides. Once again they functioned flawlessly with factory ammo. What i learned was that i had to put a lot more time and money into regular use and maintenance on my semi autos to keep them working awlessly and they are high quality guns. The revolvers never ever have not functioned perfectly every time in condition or circumstance, including lint, body sweat, ammo type etc. Stainless steel revolvers were best. The 8 shot sw 627 357 mag got me closer to semi auto capacity. I now only carry my 8 shot revolver for concealed carry. Reliabity and low maintenance are my priorities followed by one shot stops. The revolver won my heart. But.i believe you go with wht youike and believe best suits you. For me, I always got 8 for sure every time without question. These 8 are high one shot stop probabilities as good as a 45 acp or better in semi auto. I have ultimate confidence in my SW 627 SS 357 mag snubnose and i swear by it now. Im sure others have a different opinion, but that is my experience. For open.carry i prefer the 45 acp. But concealed i go.with my revo. Always eight and straight.
My "insert brand name" semi runs flawless. All I've done is change the springs, buy new mags, polish the ramp, talk to it real sweet - works every time. I mean, I had a dozen FTF or FTE, but after 500 rounds I trust it.
Super, to get my Smith revolvers ready - I open the box.
There are some fine semi autos out there for sure - glock, S&W M&P, others...but theres not one person here who has shot semi's that can honestly say they have never experienced a FTF, FTE, or jam. It's just a fact it sometimes happens.
I'll wager there are some however who have never experienced a revolver misfire of any kind whatsoever. I for one never have.
Duty is ours, consequences are God's.
- Stonewall Jackson
thread is 2 years old......why ?
If you buy top of the line for either platform (S&W or Ruger for revolvers, same two plus Glock for the other) it'll be almost equal. I've carried and owned both before but switched solely to semis, specifically Glocks.
Are revolvers more reliable? Maybe. Until you forget to fully depress the trigger to reset and it trips up the cylinder action. Or when you have to reload (a very real possibility with only 5 shots) under pressure or if the cylinder binds on a bad round (no tap and rack drill to clear that one).
Will semis malfunction more? By it's very nature of relying on recoil to work it's action, yes. Bad rounds, incompatible ammo, limp wristing, and other factors can cause issues. To answer your OP, I've experienced zero malfunctions on my former revolvers aside from short stroking the trigger or fumbling a speed strip reload. But semi autos do trip up. A big majority of my Glocks have been flawless but my former G36 and my current G30S had "break in periods". Other lesser brands of semi auto pistol have been spotty to downright useless. And I've owned quite a variety!
On the other hand semis offer high capacity, very quick follow up shots, lower recoil and lightning quick reloads that's possible under pressure.
It comes down to 5 rounds (revolver) or 33 rounds (Glock 19) at your disposal. Buy a proven semi auto and reliability will go way up.

Food for thought: just about every military and police agency has already chosen the semi over the revolver. It appears that the rater large increase in capacity and reload ability outweighs the slight decrease in reliability.
Both EDC pieces are 100% reliable.
1911A1 and Ruger SP101 .357 snubby.
"Don't shout for help at night, you may wake your neighbors"
I owned a Kahr PM 40. A rubber band gun would have been more reliable than it.
Saying that, there are semis that actually run well. Glock being one of them.
I would trust any revolver over that Kahr I owned, but trust my glocks as much as my snubbies.
As DetChris said the reliability of a quality revolver and a quality semi will be on par with each other as long as they are taken care of. I would recommend you go with whatever you are personally more comfortable with. I enjoy shooting revolvers much more than semis so I only carry revolvers, but if you are not completely comfortable with your gun you could end up fumbling around trying to load a revolver or work the slide and safeties on a semi.

It is nice in its own right but I wish there was more to it than just shooting people in the face and falling billboards for an attraction. But the action that it offers can spice up that boring living room and give you entertainment for as long as it lasts.
Xbox 360
The game takes place quite a few years after the events of Hard Boiled. Your character, Inspector Tequila, is a rogue officer of the Hong Kong Police. After a member of your force is found murdered, it's up to you to find out what happened, snaking your way through the plot twists of gangs backstabbing each other in search of some goal. In the process, your previous girlfriend and your daughter get kidnapped and held hostage, which your character, of course, won't stand for. There is actually a pretty good crime drama story in there, in between all the shooting.
And there will be a lot of shooting. There seems to be enemies everywhere in this game, and they're all out for blood. That might be a problem, but you get bullet time, and they don't. If you've never played Max Payne, bullet time is when time slows down so that you can actually watch your bullets, and enemies flying around. This gives you the chance to get a bunch of extra shots off at the opposition, as well as get out of the way of their waves of lead. Implementation of bullet time in this title is done well, in that they didn't change much in the way it works, and it does the job of keeping the enemy count down.
There are also some other special moves in the game, called Tequila bombs. These four different special moves can help you get out of any sticky situations you should happen to get into, by providing capabilities like healing you, or providing invulnerability for a period of time while simultaneously spinning and killing every enemy in the room. These moves add an additional fun factor to the already rewarding gameplay.
The gameplay becomes even more rewarding when you start to realize just how much the environment is going to play a part of your battles. Almost everything in Stranglehold is destructible, leading to situations where the important thing is finding a clever way to destroy an object so you can get the guy behind it, or other situations that require the destruction of the scenery. You don't have to just bash stuff, though. You can actually interact with a lot of the things in the levels, like tipping a table on its side to be used as cover, or sliding down a railing. Creative use of these capabilities makes the already-enjoyable gameplay a blast.
While it's true that Stranglehold has taken its cue from other third-person shooters, it has done what not many derivative games have done and maintained the most enjoyable portions of the original game, while successfully enhancing them without adding a lot of new capabilities and features. This game tries to do again what Max Payne did years ago, and it doesn't fail at it.

My people we greet una well well o. Dem say when rabbit dey run for afternoon na either im dey pursue something or something dey pursue am, but when lion dey run nko? Well, nobody dey wait to find out so make we leave matter for there. Ahem – na throat we take that one clear and we just wan yarn una say welcome to ZazuGist compound. Nor be say we wan boast o or we wan make shakara, but we just wan tell una say the first ogbonge 100 percent pidgin website for this whole wild world don land, like play like play. Na we be the lumber one place wey go dey nack una gist like say we dey break melon, whether na serious matter wey oyinbo dey call am news o abi na jolliment and fine-fine things wey dem dey call entertainment o – we dey gidigba. This our compound wey we call Zazugist.com go show una wetin una never see before the one wey some people dey call America wonder and Africa magic. Abeg take head-tie tie your wrapper o and take rope tie your trouser because for here we go make una laugh so tay una go forget say molue and danfo nor dey get seat belt.
The reason wey make us start ZazuGist nor be wetin dem dey climb iroko or palm tree go find. You go agree say e don tay wey people dey treat pidgin like say na old ashawo, no respect but everybody dey enjoy am yanfu-yanfu from Ikot Ekpene reach Peckham reach Brooklyn reach Frankfurt and many many other places wey long pass 3rdMainland Bridge for Lagos. When matter don worwor for waterside or for city sef, everybody go run go meet Pidgin to help solve the matter. So we for ZazuGist say enuf don do, we go find better home for Pidgin where everybody for the whole wild world go gather together dey yarn the language. Those wey sabi am go enjoy am, even those wey e wan learn the language sef go see say university wey dem nor dey get strike or pay money put don land for dia door mouth.
As we talk before we go talk matter wey go make una laugh and una sef go make us laugh. Sake of say we nor go bend mouth talk wetin we take straight eye see, we go also gbege serious matter wey wear trouser for we country Naija and continent Africa because mechanic wey say im shirt nor go dirty na hunger dey wire am. Even some worwor matter wey bad-belle people wan bury under sansan, we go take shovel dig am out and yarn una as we see am. But sha o, we na jolly people, and all of we for ZazuGist na water, we nor get enemy. If we mistake for wetin we yarn, we nor go say oya bole ka ja, we go say sorry because this na one big family owanbe.
Many things plenty wey we wan do for ZazuGist but dem nor dey unwrap moi-moi at once, na small small. But before you begin tear trouser and corset, make we tell you as yawa dey gas for anywhere for we country or for obodo oyinbo na so we go dey yarn you kia kia with plenty plenty foto for our Broken News Section. Weekend shakara or gbedu for town nko, na for we compound you go hear the koko wey shelle for dia – we go show you any celebrity wey tongue lick plate for party and the one wey dey pick im nose like say person hide something for the nose. What about the one wey dey dance like say na animal farm party and the one wey use spoon chop leaf wey oyinbo dey call salad? Na here you go see them boku.
For the side wey we call Opidgion nko? Hmmm na dia you go see people wey you think say na only Queens English dem dey take yarn, but ZazuGist don give them license to yarn pidgin any how the way wey truck pusher dey take drink pure water. Another ogbonge thing for this compound be say we nor go hide gist from una, even though say na Uzbekistan or Kafachan the gist go hide, because we be parrot and parrot nor sabi hide gist, we go yarn am. And we for Zazugist kuku ma know say you like gist die, and we nor blame you sha o because even Jesus Christ, our ogbonge God pikin, like gist well well otherwise why im go ask Peter for Bible say "Who people think say I be sef?"
One major abi na colonel thing wey make us start ZazuGist be say we all must join hand together to find the Panadol wey go segemenge some of we country wahala. Suffer head must go! We beg una make una join us, if you see how things go better for your area make you yarn us and we go help you holla.
Since our signboard say FOR WE PEOPLE,BY WE PEOPLE OF WE PEOPLE, you must to come to ZazuGist everyday for your daily gist because dem nor dey carry sacrament go meet who nor come church o.
Ok make I nor waist una time too much because, molue driver don dey para for conductor say I too yarn like say I be Gbogbonise hawker. Oya wole! No change o.
Na so e just be.

antique staple/nail puller
My ex used to have a Bridgeport staple puller that worked like a charm when removing old flooring. I didn't know how useful that thing was until I started removing this floor without it.
I see some for sale on the internet and I'm going to buy one but does any one here know if the #20 or the #56 are very different from each other, one better than the other? Is there a better version available?
That sort of thing.
Only one I ever used was a Crain.
Are you the person redoing the partical board floors in a moble home?
If so just cut them off with a sawsall or just pound them in.

Will they apply retroactively? For example, if I had a trending item several months ago, will I still get the badge when they're going live?
Is it worth adding buttons and input field classes for Bootstrap compatibility? Is it worth adding column classes?

I have updated the link:http://getbutterfly.com/how-to-implement-update-notifications-for-codecanyon-plugins/
Basically, the script checks (and caches the result) for an XML file. This would be an extra step , maintaining an XML file with the current version and a small changelog, but it's the best solution I have found so far.
I agree and that's why I adapted a small PHP script to do this. It's very easy to integrate in any plugin or theme.
I don't think it's possible. You can only sell themes on ThemeForest.
I had a WordPress page which was restricted (private) for a year, and then, based on server access logs, I noticed it was accessed by a Yahoo bot:
126.96.36.199 – - [22/Oct/2014:03:56:09 +0100] "GET /s34/ HTTP/1.1" 200 19513 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Yahoo! Slurp; http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearch/slurp)"
I heard reports of the Yahoo bot being very aggresive and causing heavy server load. Probably, combined with an automatic WordPress update and heavy database access, something got corrupted and the page was rendered public. I wasn't able to find other cases of private pages becoming public, but it's not excluded.
Is this possible at all?
I'm listening. Sounds cool.
A third-party membership plugin could be used with eCards, I'm only interested in adding these features directly to eCards. I might create a limited user role, such as "eCards subscriber" and store them as separate users.
Thank you! I will.
A user option is okay, I guess, with a custom text such as "Subscribe me to future updates". However, admins could abuse this option and change the text, so that they can save all user emails against users' wishes.
1000 sales for my WordPress eCards plugin! It's time to celebrate!

Find of the Day: Restored 1983 Ur quattro, One of the Nicest American quattros We've Seen
by, 07-30-2010 at 01:34 PM (5698 Views)
If you've ever fancied owning an original Audi quattro then you may want to sit up and take notice. This red example with just 58K miles on the docket is one of the nicest we've seen this side of the Atlantic... at least based on the pics.
The most ardent car collectors may not appreciate that the car isn't entirely stock... fitted with Euro bumpers, Euro blacked out taillights, euro headlights, 20-valve sport steering wheel and deep dish Ronals. However, we're guessing most American Audi enthusiasts will love the subtle factory updating that's gone into this one.
Read more over on Audifans after the jump and thanks Pauly for the tip.

Rango: The Video Game
by William Thompson
reviewed on WII
Hes not just a green lizard
Rango is in fact a chameleon. One who has become the hero of the Wild West town of Dirt. Actually, he has become the new Sheriff. But unfortunately, something horrible has happened in the dusty town. A strange space rock has crashed nearby and has somehow resulted in the disappearance of the father of Rangos female friend, Beans. As you would expect, there is work up ahead. Each section of the game tells one chapter of the overall story which does not follow that of the movie. Hence, the designers were given a certain bit of creative freedom and theyve come up with a game that contains some witty dialogue and a wonderful, cut-scene driven storyline.
Get out your six shooter
The story has Rango travelling to various locations around the town. The movement is reminiscent of the PSOne classic Spyro the Dragon, in how Rango moves around the landscape and how the camera follows him. For the most part, the camera action was just fine, but there are times when youll need to move around so that you can observe your surroundings more clearly. I did have a few issues when the camera moved around at the most inopportune time when Rango was about to leap across a crevice or overhanging ledge. It is rarely an issue, as the checkpoints are numerous and you rarely have to complete much of a level to be back at your point of previous demise. Apart from the minor camera gripe, Rangos movement is quite fluent. He runs, climbs, jumps and hangs around with ease and the context sensitive controls all work superbly well.
Of course, all that walking, running and jumping leads Rango somewhere, usually to take part in a shootout mini-game. The shooting sections are a heap of fun and the fact that the Wiimote control is surprisingly accurate makes it just that much more enjoyable. Sure, it takes a fairly steady hand to aim something that the younger gamers may struggle with by themselves but the aiming and shooting using the B button works well. It can be tough trying to hit the smaller targets but this presents gamers with more of a challenge.
Fire at will
Rango only has a six-shooter with which to take care of all the enemy forces. As one would expect, his trusty six shooter needs to be reloaded when hes wasted all his ammo. This can be done automatically or manually. Manually reloading is much faster and can be done at any time, even if you havent fired off all your ammunition. This is often advantageous as it means you can reload between waves of opponents, or whilst Rango is behind cover. It works rather well, and if you forget to reload, the automatic reload kicks in.
fun score
Good quality cut-scenes. Controls work well.
Voice actors not the same as those in the movie. Some minor camera niggles. Linear gameplay.

Acceptance 101: A Writers Residency in April
It's official. I've been accepted to my first writer's residency in the spring. I sent a selection of poems from my manuscript to the director along with the application and imagined myself arriving there a few months from now with a bag of books, my cozies, my laptop, and "the binder". I heard the sound of the ferry as it pulled away leaving me and the other nine writers from all around the world engulfed in a late morning sun drenched anticipatory fog… Then the daydream would be rudely interrupted by the sound of "Mom, Marcel just gave me a wedgie!" No matter what happens, I would think at those moments the possibility of a week away in my own room, with just my writing and the sound of the waves crashing outside my window was a delicious gift.
To that end I also have to admit the sending of the work out into the world, to be deemed worthy or not, was a test of my work, and a test of my readiness to be seen. Would I make it into the "maybe next time" the "to be invited" or the "to be fed to the gerbil's cage" pile? (Now isn't that an image for a short story? Lines of poetry all over the gerbil's cage?) So when I read the line; I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your poems from "Black Enough" and am looking forward to meeting you and to talking with you more about your work I felt my skin expanding.
My work is ready.
So, am I?
Are you interested? I came across this post this morning by Tracy Marchini on looking for a writer's residency while searching residencies as a topic. It looks super useful, and I hope to return to it to learn more.
Have you? Have you been to a retreat or residency? What was your experience like? Would you recommend it? How did you prepare?
February 10, 2013 6:52 pm
Congrats! You are such an inspiration. I have a friend who goes away to a place called The Porches in Northern VA every few months to just write (not a residency but you get the point!) and the thought makes my heart pound. How delicious would that be… but at the same time, I am so scared of leaving the boys. Again, you are an inspiration – you have two crazy monsters too – I def have to look into it!
Erica King permalinkFebruary 10, 2013 11:19 pm
So proud of you and excited for you!
February 11, 2013 9:30 am
Wow, congrats! Can't wait to hear how it goes. Sounds amazing xx
Nancy N permalinkFebruary 16, 2013 6:55 pm
That's fantastic news. I never doubted your talent for a minute. Glad the world will get to hear more from you now as well

It does not work, i tried downloading some podcasts from G4 and it would only download a part of it, and for whatever reason it even states that the video is not compatible for playback.
I still remember when all the apps where free.........App store gives everyone a reason to ask for money.....Thanks for another app
Hey, this is a very nice app. Its a shame it got rejected from the app store.
But I have a few problems and maybe some recommendations.
I am a big "ESPN: MMA Live" fan but when I search for it, it doesn't show up. I can see it on iTunes but not Podcaster. Can you explain this?
As for a suggestion, it would be nice to sort out the podcast from audio ones and ones that are just videos.
Other than that this app is very well done. You definitely have a customer man, keep up the good work!
upgraded to 1.1. and its showing i have 1 unplayed podcast even though all are marked as read. Shows 1 even if i re-install and have no podcasts added.

just overwrite the icon.png file.
Note: it doesnt open in Windows but works fine.

All apps were never free. And plenty of developers asked for donations. You probably never donated; so that's why you claim that they were all free. Do you have a job? If not, do your parents have a job? If so, do you and/or your parents get paid for working? Then you should pay others for their work as well. If everybody becomes a freeloader, we will only get crappy and/or ad-filled apps for this platforms. I don't look forward to that scenario. I would rather pay to get plenty of solid, ad-free, and quality apps. Now stop your whining and pay up! I gladly paid $10 for this app; $5 is 50% off - a great bargain! If you don't use podcasts ro you don't mind syncing them with iTunes, then don't buy the app and use iTunes to sync your podcasts. These people make it seem like somebody is forcing them to buy the apps and that they don't have an alternative. You do; so make whichever choice suits you best.
consultant (2008-10-02)
Anyone having problems with this app? It launched the first time and I was able to search and add podcasts but now every time I try to launch it just crashes and closes. I am running 2.0.2 firmware and have tried uninstalling and re-installing it. Very sad about this because it seemed to be an awesome app.
Crashing here also... Bet it's a permission problem. I am on 2.1, it shows the splash screen and then back to SB..
for the three people having issues
Create folder /Applications/Documents
Create folder /var/mobile/Documents
Chmod both folders recursive 777 or 775 or 755
Anyway, listen I am having this problem with the Podcaster program. Sometimes it crashes also, but this is my main problem:
EDIT: not my biggest problem apparently.... this app crashes like crazy. Every time I delete a download and go delete a second download it crashes. It crashes while downloading. It crashes while getting podcasts........

"I bought the matching Gift Tags and decided to buy the labels to add to my invitations. These went perfect with my child-like adults-only game night birthday party theme and a couple of people told me that they knew just from seeing the label that I was going for a very fun theme."
"I purchased these address labels for my sister who has always loved monkeys. The design on this was too cute to pass up. The address labels came out great, although the size is a bit larger than the standard address label size, but that didn't really bother me. My sister loved these, so I am very happy with my purchase!"
"I bought these to use with the matching cards. I couldn't be happier with both. I love the quality, colors, and the style matches my mood exactly! Like it was designed for me. The cards are going out today with the return address coming from the birthday girl, can't wait to hear the feedback!"
"Love everything about this return address label. Fresh, modern design with clean lines. Colors are fantastic, fonts are perfect (use the suggested fonts!). Purchased for my daughter with matching note cards and everyone thinks they're adorable!"

King Curtis has just released his new hit single, "Bacon is Good For Meâ€. You can find a video for it on YouTube right now. No word on when he plans to release a full EP or go on tour, but we will keep you posted.
The hook of this song is so catchy I find myself singing it to myself throughout the day.
I hope King Curtis is not just another one hit wonder. The VH1 "Where are they Now†would be tragic and would feature King Curtis strung out at a pig farm chasing the purple pig that only he can see. Yes, that would be a pure rock n' roll, but I have bigger dreams for him. I want him to dethrone Justin Timberlake as the prince of pop.
Bacon needs to be at the top of the music charts. Will King Curtis be the one to do it?

September 27, 2013 - Products
By Jim Beach
Telogis, Aliso Viejo, Calif., released a new version of its route-planning tool, called Telogis Route Planning Suite, at the National Beer Wholesalers Association Convention held in Las Vegas Sept. 30.
The new product includes three connected modules that tie together back-office planning and real-time execution.
"Our existing Route product was a long-range scheduling tool," explained Newth Morris, president Telogis Route and Navigation. "The new set of modules can set on top of that and broadens the applicability of the product."
The new suite includes three modules, the first of which is called Telogis Territory.
"In many respects, it looks like a classic territory tool," Morris said. The application is web-based and feeds directly into the Telogis scheduling engine. According to Morris, the Territory module not only allows companies to build territories, but also allows them to do analytics – for instance, what types of customers exist in certain locations, the number of deliveries made to specific customers, or the best location for a new warehouse based on existing customer patterns.
"Customers can go directly from building territories to creating long-range schedules that have constraints," Morris said, such as customer hours of operation, holidays on and other information.
Telogis' existing long-range scheduling and route optimization tool is being rebranded as Telogis Schedule, while the third module introduced is called Telogis Plan.
"Plan is meant for the daily kind of changes that happen in a business," Morris said. While Territory and Schedule are back-office applications for long-range planning, Plan offers a dynamic routing tool to accommodate any changes that might occur. "The user in this instance might be a warehouse manager," Morris said.
Another technology improvement on the scheduling side, Morris said, was migrating the applications to HTML5. "That's the technology that works on phones and tablets and everything else," he said.
The Route Planning Suite seamlessly integrates with Telogis' other applications, such as the progression product which charts planned routes against actual and the Telogis Fleet telematics/mobile product. The Fleet module "runs on any device," Morris said, and includes hours-of-service and navigation capabilities.
As for the analytics side, Morris said the suite includes a series of reports that examine various metrics with real-time graphical feedback such as time on route, time on site, missed delivery windows., etc.
The company has been running a beta release with some existing customers. Those customers will be grandfathered in to the new product, Morris said. Other existing Route customers will be offered a discounted upgrade for the new modules.
Morris said the new product offers customers a series of "ultra-web-based tools that allow companies to analyze their business and make effective changes.
"We feel we have an end-to-end planning solution that is seamlessly integrated with the rest of our mobility products."
Although the company has as strong presence in the food and beverage delivery industry, the product applies to any similar route-based delivery operation as well as sales and white-collar fleet operations, he said.

Effects of Deforestation on Tree Diversity and Livelihoods of Local Community A Case Study from Nepal
Karkee, Krishna
The objectives of this study were to assess the status and trend of deforestation in the Shiwalik region of the central Nepal, and to explore the most significant effects of community forestry on tree diversity and livelihood of the local community. Two sites, heavily deforested in the past and one being presently owned by the government, the other managed by the local community for about 15 years, were compared with respect to tree and tree seedlings diversity and livelihood capitals. To analyze the diversity indices Hill's diversity numbers, Shannon's index and Importance value percentage were measured, whereas livelihood parameters were compared using the livelihood capitals model. The participatory approach was adopted to collect socio-economic data of the study sites. Community forestry helped increase the number of tree species as well as individuals. However, the study failed to state that the protection of forest from deforestation for a short period of time changed the diversity indices. Nevertheless, by protection the trend of an increased number of tree species coming as seedlings was obvious. Hence, the hypothesis that deforestation changes the tree diversity was proved. The study revealed that community forestry increased tree and wild animals, decreased soil erosion and checked the flooding in gullies and flow of debris. In the Government owned forest, soil erosion was rampant and had led to the decrease in agriculture productivity of the study area. The study also supported the fact that the protection of forest from deforestation by local people positively increased the majority of livelihood parameters. Thus, the hypothesis that the protection of forest from deforestation will have positive effects on livelihood of local people was accepted.

"You don't have to use short passes. Not if you want to use your big man up front."
It could be a line ripped straight from the script of 'Mike Bassett: England Manager', that affectionate yet searingly honest deconstruction of the stereotypical England boss and his traditional hankering for "four-four-f******-two" and a more rudimentary interpretation of the game.
Instead, Early Doors is happy to report, according to The Guardian it was shouted from the sidelines by one Roy Hodgson as he held court during an England training session for the first time at lunch on Thursday.
Now, ED is not about to dismiss Hodgson as Bassett 2.0 just yet - at least not until he starts writing his team out on the back of a packet of fags - and exploring options to utilise a direct approach is eminently sensible. After all, England are not going to out Tiki-taka Spain, or introduce the Dutch to a new conception of Total Football, are they?
With a dearth of technically proficient midfielders in the 23, it arguably makes sense to bypass them altogether on occasion.
However, for those England fans - and ED is one of them - who hope for at least a cursory nod to possession-based football that is easy on the eye, it was a comment that hinted at a more pragmatic approach from a coach from whom in truth little else was expected.
This is Hodgson's England - the FA knew what it was signing up for when giving him the job - and it is right that we wait to see how it all plays out before leaping to assumptions about how England will fare under their new manager.
From this brief articulation of Hodgson's philosophy, however, we can perhaps draw one early conclusion about the composition of his first XI for Saturday's friendly against Norway and moving ahead into the Euro 2012 finals.
Though the indications from said training session are that Hodgson will abandon the 4-4-2 that has served him so well during his career in order to accommodate a more progressive 4-2-3-1 - a transition that confounded the fictional Bassett - his very vocal desire to see England exploit a "big man" in attack has left Friday's newspapers in little doubt as to who will benefit from a less subtle approach to the game.
Step forward Andrew Thomas Carroll.
A man who appeared to win his place in the squad off the back of a second-half cameo in the FA Cup final - and has spent the season being the butt of jokes while turning in largely turgid performances - now finds himself best placed to lead England's attack heading into a major tournament.
With only one cap in his collection, and just nine goals to his name all season, his likely elevation to the starting XI given the suspension of Wayne Rooney and Darren Bent's injury is rather unmerited, but it does neatly display the paucity of high-class options available to Hodgson.
Deploying Carroll - a man frequently said to resemble a horse tripping over a ball - should help England to drive down expectancy levels in the manner of a wily presidential candidate approaching a crucial televised debate: any kind of coherent performance will look good given what is anticipated.
Germany are likely to start the finals with a striker, in Mario Gomez, who has scored 40 goals in all competitions this season for Bayern Munich. France have Karim Benzema, scorer of 33 for Real Madrid. Netherlands have the luxury of both Robin van Persie (36 for Arsenal) and Klaas Jan Huntelaar (44 for Schalke).
Spain could prove the exception if the loss of David Villa opens the door for Fernando Torres, yet they have the option to use Fernando Llorente, scorer of 29 for Athletic Bilbao, or Roberto Soldado, who has 27 for Valencia.
Of course, England shouldn't really be comparing themselves with teams on this rarefied level, but these unflattering comparisons do serve to underline the chasm in quality between England and the continent's best sides.
Perhaps this reality is one of the reasons why preparations for Saturday's friendly against Norway have been decidedly low-key.
A pre-tournament friendly usually commands a fair amount of attention, yet with Joey Barton's 12-match ban being pored over and Liverpool stepping up their interest in Roberto Martinez, England's preparations for Euro 2012 are being marginalised a touch.
Of course, it hardly helps when the FA puts up James Milner and Joleon Lescott for Thursday press conferences. The former in particular is a physical embodiment of the England national team: functional, uninspiring and likely to send observers to sleep.
On the face of things, Norway are not exactly opponents to get the pulses racing either. England haven't beaten them in 30 years - a run which includes an infamous 2-0 defeat in Oslo in 1993 which hastened Graham Taylor's departure as manager.
The Sun greeted the result with the headline 'Norse Manure', while the loss featured heavily in a documentary called 'The Impossible Job' that explored in painstaking detail the manager's struggles to get to grip with international football.
Coincidentally, it was also the key source material for the Mike Bassett parody.
Another former England manager, Ron Greenwood, also suffered in Norway, losing 2-1 in a match in September 1981 that inspired one of the greatest pieces of commentary of all time. Lady Diana and Winston Churchill were invoked as Bjorge Lillelien celebrated what seemed a seminal victory for the Norwegians.
The same result on Saturday is unlikely to be met with similar euphoria. "Andy Carroll, your boys took a hell of a beating" just doesn't have the same ring to it. But then this just proves England are at a low ebb and explains why Hodgson is preparing the team in the way he is.
Reduced ambitions have finally been embraced, and rightly so. Now Hodgson just needs to coax an adequate performance out of his team.
