Re: The Main Event and Juvy's Rise of Glory
The SmackDown theme plays followed by the explosive pyros. Triple Hs music quickly overcomes the PA System and the new number one contender makes his way to the ring in a business suit. He steals the microphone from Tony Chimel and begins his speech.
HHH: This has become somewhat of a tradition here on SmackDown me coming out giving a speech then walking out as a winner. Well last week I faced off against the phenom! Against The Undertaker! And I became the number one contender! Despite John Cena trying to screw me out of the title by being the referee despite interference during the match and despite the use of weapons! I am the Game! And I am the number one contender! Meaning only one thing I get to finally go one on one with John Cena. So Cena if youre in the back listening I DARE YOU to come out and face me!
John Cenas music begins to play and the champ makes his way out to the ramp. Cena pulls a microphone out of his pocket and begins speaking.
Cena: Triple H Triple H Triple H. Thats typical of you picking on a cripple. You know damn well that Im in no shape to fight! You saw what happened last week to me and its all your fault! But thats exactly why I want to challenge you tonight! I want to prove that you cant even beat a cripple! I want to prove that you cant beat me on my worst day! And I want revenge!
HHH: What you want? Its not about what you want! Its about what I want! I want the WWE Championship! I want to beat you! And I want to end your pathetic excuse of a career!
Cena: Then I guess the time is now!
Cena begins ripping off his jersey until Theodore Long makes his way out.
Long: Hold it! Hold it! Hold it! Now listen up crackas! John Cena I have doctors papers saying you are in no physical condition to compete tonight so Im sticking to it! I do not want to lose the top draw on SmackDown! But to make it up to you next week Ill make it Triple H versus John Cena for the WWE Championship!
The crowd gets all riled up as Theodore Long leaves. John Cena seems a little worried as Triple H is displaying his confidence.
HHH: Thank you! John Cena next week its time to play The Game! And MY time is now! Haha!
Triple H laughs as his music begins to play. Cena continues to show his worry as cameras cut to commercials.
Backstage, we see Orlando Jordan standing with the Basham Brothers in the parking lot.
Orlando: Now remember what I said. When he arrives, Ill open the door for him, you guys shake his hand and say hello. Treat him very nicely! This is our new leader, hes our boss! Hes our wait here he comes. Okay, positions!
The Cabinet members hold their position as a fancy new black car pulls up. Orlando Jordan opens the door for the person sitting in the back. Out comes Carlito Caribbean Cool! Carlito looks around at the shocked faces of the Cabinet members.
Carlito: Who were you expecting someone else?
Orlando: Y,y,y youre our now leader?
Carlito: Leader? What are you talking about? Im too cool to be your leader!
Orlando: Stop wasting our time! Were here waiting for a very important person! Were waiting for our new boss! Now personally I hope he gives me the orders to beat you down and take you out after what has just happened and what happened last week!
Carlito: Oh yeah when I almost took your United States Championship! If it wasnt for these two bald-headed losers and .The Undertaker!
Orlando: Oh yeah speaking of that hows your head? Haha! Youre lucky enough not to be in the hospital. But from what Ive heard youre not gonna like the mood that The Undertakers in. Youre gonna wish he put you in a hospital!
Carlito: Let me tell you something O.J.! Insulting me thats not cool! Mentioning what The Undertaker did to me thats not cool either! Hell anything to do with you three isnt cool! But let me tell you what is cool Carlito! And the fact that The Undertaker is going to wish he never cost me my title match last week!
Orlando: So youre blaming it on him? I wouldve beaten you anyway. Youre nothing but a piece of garbage! Youre trash compared to people like me! And tonight Undertakers gonna be the trash compactor!
Carlito: Oh Is that so?
Carlito takes a bite of his apple and looks at the ground. He looks up quickly and spits the chunks of apple into Orlando Jordans face. The Bashams help Orlando Jordan wipe the chunks from his eyes.
Orlando: Get him!
Carlito starts running off with the entire Cabinet chasing after him.
Cruiserweight Title Match: Paul London Vs. Akio
Even though the match has barely just begun, Akio irish whips Paul London hard into the turnbuckle. Akio runs and delivers an impressive dropsault. The champion stumbles forward in pain and is hit with a devastating martial arts kick to the head. Akio goes for the cover
Winner: NEW Cruiserweight Champion Akio!!!!
Akio celebrates his easy victory and achievement as cameras cut backstage to Heidenreich. The crazed lunatic holds up a piece of paper and begins reading.
Heidenreich: To be, or not to be, that is the question: Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrow of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles And by opposing end them. To die to sleep, No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to: tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep: To sleep, perchance to dream- ay, dream of one day being champion. Theres the rub: For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause theres the respect That makes calamity of so long life. For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, The oppressors wrong, the pround mans contumely, The pangs of despised love, the laws delay, The insolence of office, and the spurns That patient merit of the unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscovered country, from whose bourn No travellur returns, puzzles the will, And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus conscience does make cowards of us all, And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied oer with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pitch and moment With this regard their currents turn awry And lose the name of action. Soft you now, For my name is Heidenreich! And I am entering this Battle of Royals at the Day of Judgment!
Heidenreich lets out a roar.
Tazz: What did he say Cole?
Cole: I think he just quoted Shakespeare with a few twists to it. Form what I understand hes entering the Battle Royal at Judgment Day with dreams of becoming champion!
Eugene/Booker T Vs. Maven/Luther Reigns
Maven gets irish whipped into the corner by Booker T. Eugene goes up to Booker T and irish whips him. Booker T reverses it and sends his partner flying into the corner. Maven stumbles forwards and gets sidekicked over the top rope by Booker T. The ring is cleared now since Luther Reigns was taken down earlier with the Book End which leaves Booker T and Eugene alone in the ring. Booker T gets set up for the spinarooni but Eugene stops him. Booker T seems a little confused until Eugene drops to one knee, staring at his hand. Eugene shakes his head violently then does the spinarooni!
Tazz: "What would you call that? A Eugenerooni?"
Cole: "Call it whatever you like, Booker T and Eugene are one hell of a team!"
Luther Reigns gets back in the ring and takes down Eugene with a huge closeline! He turns around and receives a kick to the mid-section from the 5 time WCW Champion. Booker T comes off the ropes and hits the scissors kick then sees Maven climbing back up to the apron. Booker T knocks him off as Eugene covers Luther Reigns...
Winners: Booker T and Eugene!!!
Before they can celebrate, their victory is interrupted by Kurt Angle! Kurt hammers away at both competitors until Booker T starts firing back. Luther Reigns and Maven get back into the fight and double team Eugene. Maven, Luther Reigns and Kurt Angle all high five each other.
Tazz: "Is this the new Team Angle?"
Cole: "Makes perfect sense. Luther Reigns has impressed Kurt Angle by the looks of things and they're back on the same page!"
Maven hits a beautiful textbook fishmerman suplex to the Book Man. Luther Reigns then picks up Booker T and delivers his neckbreaking finisher! Kurt Angle tells Maven and Luther Reigns to go after Eugene. They begin following orders until Angle comes up from behind and delivers the Angle Slam to Luther Reigns! Maven wonders what's going on then gets into a slugfest. Kurt Angle gains the advantage and takes Maven down followed by the Ankle Lock! Maven screams in pain and begins tapping out as the fans are cheering for Kurt Angle! Kurt lets Maven free and he limp to the back. Luther Reigns and Booker T are down and Eugene is just getting to his feet. Eugene shows a peace sign and Kurt Angle asks for a hug. Eugene seems reluctant at first then gladly accepts the friendly gesture from Kurt Angle. Kurt raises Eugene's arm in victory then delivers a shocking Angle Slam to him too! Kurt Angle stands tall above the rest as he grabs a microphone.
Angle: "Everyone in the back...this is a message! Pay attention! Especially...John Cena and Triple H! I am officially entering the Battle Royale at Judgment Day! And once I throw everyone else over the top...I'll be coming after you! Then when I get my shot...you're looking at the next WWE Champion! It's true! It's damn true!"
Kurt Angle's music plays again as there are some mixed reactions from the fans.
Tazz: "Well...Kurt Angle fooled us all, especially Luther Reigns and Maven!"
Cole: "The big story though is Kurt Angle is participating in the battle Royale along with the other four men he just took out!"
Tazz: "Wait a minute...what's this?"
Cameras go backstage where we see Rey Mysterio and Billy Kidman in a backstage brawl with the Guerreros! They continue to slug each other and bash their heads into random objects all around. Officials are trying to pry them apart and finally gain some distance when Theodore Long appears.
Long: "This is enough! I will not have a bunch of playas running around beatin' each other senseless! I'm worried about the safety of my superstars! Now crackas listen up! There's only one way to solve this! Rey Mysterio...Eddie Guerrero...you are hereby stripped of the Tag Team Championships! And that decision is final! Ya feel me?"
The big fight escalades now just after Long's announcement.
Tazz: "Did you hear that?"
Cole: "I sure did. Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero just lost the titles! But what's to become of the tag team titles now?"
Tazz: "I'm not sure. But I'm just being told that next...the Cabinet will come out and give a special presentation to the new leader of the Cabinet."
Cole: "Alright...the new Cabinet Leader revealed...next!"
The Cabinet walks out to the ring to "Longhorn" all wearing business suits. Orlando Jordan leads the pack to the ring with a microphone. The cameras look to the ring where we see flowers and a large object with a long black cloth draped over it. The ring is covered with red material and now Orlando Jordan enters the ring followed by the Basham Brothers.
Orlando: "Ladies and gentlemen....for weeks...I have been speaking with the man who will be the next World Heavyweight Champion after he defeats Batista this Sunday at Backlash! That's right...I've been talking with JBL and he has assigned us a new leader. A new role model for the Cabinet to look up to. Now...the only one other than JBL and the new leader of who this mystery man is...is me...your United States Champion...Orlando Jordan! The Chief Of Staff in the Cabinet! So without further ado...he's been waiting in the limousine for quite some time now...ladies and gentlemen...The Million Dollar Man...Ted Dibiase!"
Cameras cut to the parking lot where the limo continues to drive. Cameras follow it all the way to the square circle as Dibiase's song plays over the PA system.
Cole: "Can you believe this?"
Tazz: "Honestly...no, I can't!"
Cole: "The Million Dollar Man...Ted Dibiase...the new member of the Cabinet! I never expected anyone like this!"
The limo pulls up to ringside and the driver opens the door for the man in the backseat. Out comes Ted Dibiase who seems to have not aged a day from the last time he was on television. He holds his suit in classic fashion as he mounts the steps and into the ring. He looks on at his Cabinet members and laughs like he's known for. The Cabinet members are sucking up to Ted Dibiase by bowing to him as Orlando hands him the microphone. The music dies down as everyone is cheering in shock for the new Cabinet Leader.
Dibiase: "That's right! I am here! And I am the leader of the Cabinet! You know...when Mr. Layfield gave me a call...I was shocked. I never expected a phone call from a man of his stature. But of course...he's following in my footsteps. A self-made millionaire with dreams of becoming a legendary figure around here. And one day...I hope you three follow in his foot steps! I have been hired...to lead you! To guide you! To help you! To improve you! To teach you! And to train you! We're here together...working as a team! You know, I was watching SmackDown and I noticed that JBL basically made this Cabinet to save him from losing his title. Well...that's not what we're about now that I'm in charge! No! I'm here to have you guys work together as a team! We're here to teach everybody has a price...and everyone's gonna pay!"
Dibiase breaks into his classic laughter and the Cabinet mimicks him in a courteous gesture. Dibiase quickly stops.
Dibiase: "Don't mock me! You can suck up all you want! I'm not looking for you to copy my every move! I'm looking for you to show me you...at your best! I want to see your talented wrestling skills...not your ass-kissing skills! Now...I see you've got this ring all dressed up fancy for me...and I appreciate that! It shows respect. And the only way to get people to listen to you...is by gaining their respect. It's nice to know we don't have to work on that. Unlike that low class, untalented, low-life...Virgil! That piece of crap was a traitor! He turned his back on me! And look where he is now...huh? NOWHERE!!! Now listen up...if any...and I mean any ONE of you try to double cross me...you will regret it! You will pay! Now...I can't help but notice this large thing with the curtain over it. Is this a gift?"
The Cabinet delightfully shakes their heads yes. Dibiase makes his way over to the object and grabs the curtain. He rips it off and looks at it.
Dibiase: "...What the...???!!! Is this a joke??!!! What kind of stunt are you guys trying to pull here?"
The Cabinet wonders what's going on as they look at the object. They look to be angry after seeing it. Orlando Jordan asks for the microphone and receives it.
Orlando: "Boss...it wasn't like this before! I swear! We got one of the finest artists in Italy to do this...a beautiful painting as a tribute to you! But...someone messed with it!"
Cameras look at the painting and see a hand-painted portrait of the Million Dollar Man. It has been tampered with however. Some of the teeth are missing and there's a big eye patch over the right eye, similar to a pirate.
Orlando: "Carlito! I know you did this! Come out and pay for what you've done!"
Carlito's music begins to play and he makes his way out to the ramp.
Carlito: "You want me to pay? All I've got is a twenty. Now...don't get me wrong...that painting...that's cool! But it it wasn't me! But whoever did this...must be pretty cool!"
Stand Back...There's a Hurricane coming through!!!!!!
The Hurricane makes his way out to the ramp now with a microphone in hand.
Hurricane: "Carlito...injured? Watzupwitdat?!!!? That's alright...I understand...but I want that match with you when you're 100%! But as for you evil doers...I have to admit...Carlito's right! That's definetely cool! But it was not I! However...I do know who it was! Heeeeeeeeere's Charlie!"
Charlie Haas's music plays and he now joins Carlito and Hurricane.
Charlie: "That's right! I told the world that I was going to make an impact! So...is it a pretty big impact or what?"
The fans are cheering as The Cabinet is very upset.
Orlando: "You know what? I'm tired of all of this act! Why don't all three of you come down here right now and..."
Dibiase steals the microphone from Orlando's hand.
Dibiase: "NO! Save it for next week! In a six man tag match...we're issuing a challenge to the three of you!"
Carlito: "Hey...grandpa...turn up your hearing aid...adjust your bifocals...I'm injured! I can't compete!"
Dibiase: "Then find a replacement! Next week, you're all gonna see that everybody has a price! And everybody...is gonna pay!"
Dibiase's music plays as Haas, Hurricane, and Carlito begin talking with each other.
Cole: "Ladies and gentlemen...up next...Charlie Haas will take on Rene Dupree!"
Tazz: "That should be a good match...but what I'm looking forward to is the six man tag match next week!"
Cole: "Yes. Who will be the third man to team with The Hurricane and Charlie Haas?"
Charlie Haas Vs. Rene Dupree
Charlie Haas is taken down with a beautiful snap suplex. Rene Dupree does the French Tickle to the fans as Charlie races to his feet. The French Phenom turns around and receives a textbook T-Bone Suplex courtesy of Charlie Haas! Charlie goes for the cover...
Rene gets a foot on the bottom rope! Charlie drags his opponent to the center of the ring and locks in the Haas of Pain. Rene Dupree is on the verge of tapping out until the Basham Brothers break up the hold with vicious stomps. The official calls for the bell.
Winner: Charlie Haas by DQ
Charlie Haas is getting beaten down by the secretaries of defence until The Hurricane races back down to the ring and evens the odds. Rene Dupree gets out of dodge to avoid getting involved in the confrontation as Orlando Jordan comes down and nails The Hurricane and Charlie Haas with the United States Championship. Ted Dibiase is acting like a coach on the outside of the ring until...
One of A Kind
echoes over the PA System and Rob Van Dam races down to the ring.
Cole: "Oh my god! It's Rob Van Dam! We haven't seen him in a while!"
RVD races to the ring and takes apart the Cabinet members with his educated feet. RVD sends the Basham Brothers flying over the top. Orlando Jordan tries to nail RVD with the U.S. Title however, Van Dam dodges it then nails Jordan with a spinkick to the skull. RVD climbs up top and is about to nail the 5 star frog splash but the Bashams and Dibiase pull him out of harm's way. RVD celebrates as Charlie Haas and Hurricane get back up to their feet. Everyone is chanting RVD's name as "One of A Kind" plays again.
Cole: "What a return for Rob Van Dam!"
Tazz: "It looks like he'll be taking Carlito's place in that six man tag match next week! That'll be off the charts!"
Cole: "Speaking of Carlito...I think Josh Matthews is waiting backstage with him for an interview."
Cameras cut backstage and indeed, Josh is with Carlito. He's wearing a sling on his arm and a neck brace.
Josh: "Thanks Tazz and Cole. Here I am...with Carlito Caribbean Cool! Now Carlito...last week you were on the verge of becoming United States Champion until..."
Carlito quickly cuts him off.
Carlito: "Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Everyone knows the story already Josh...that was last week! Bringing up the past...that's not cool! In fact...your shirt...your pants...your two dollar haircut...that's not cool either! As a matter of fact...you're uncool! But yes...Undertaker beat me up! So what! My match with Hurricane postponed? So what! I'll live to fight another day. But The Undertaker...Carlito is not through with you! Just because you lost last week...you've been going on a little bit of a rampage? That's not cool! And let me tell you something you overgrown pile of..."
The lights go out.
Carlito: "Hey! That's not cool! Turn the lights back on!"
The lights turn back on and we see Carlito staring at the camera.
Carlito: "Much better. Now...any more questions Josh?"
Carlito looks towards the microphone and notices that it's a much larger hand holding it. It's also covered with a black biker glove. Carlito seems a little afraid as he follows the hand, the arm, and finally sees that it's...The Undertaker!
Carlito: "Well isn't it the guy who's too stupid to see that he's dead!"
The Undertaker stares down Carlito with his eyes rolled into the back of his head.
Carlito: "What? You mad or something? You going all crazy eyes on me? Is that supposed to mean something? What...are you mad because I cost you the WWE Championship Title shot?"
The Undertaker nails Carlito with the microphone and starts hammering away at him on the floor. The deadman picks up Carlito by the throat and stares deep into his foe's eyes. The deadman gets ready to chokeslam an already injured Carlito Cool until...
Long: "Deadman! Undertaker! Cut it out! Drop him!"
The Undertaker throws Carlito away.
Long: "As the General Manager of SmackDown...I can not...repeat CAN NOT allow you to injure superstars like you have been doing! So I'll tell you what I'm going to do...you name it...and I'll give it to you!"
The Undertaker, still with his eyes rolled into the back of his head stares at Theodore Long.
Undertaker: "...Give me...John...Cena!!!"
Long: "Then it's settled playa! Next week...you versus..."
The Undertaker grabs Theodore Long by the collar and picks him up.
Undertaker: "NO!!!!! Tonight!"
Long: "But he's injured..."
Undertaker: "NOWWW!!!"
Long: "Okay...okay! Don't have to holla! Tonight...John Cena versus The Undertaker...but it'll be a non-title match due to Cena's injury."
Undertaker: "And Cena will...rest...in...PEACE!!!!"
The Undertaker drops Theodore Long like a bad habit and leaves.
Tazz: "Oh my god, Cole! Taker's on a killing spree!"
Cole: "Yes! And after last week...this looks to be John Cena's final appearance on SmackDown!"
Tazz: "It looks to be an early Judgment Day for John Cena!"
Cole: "Folks...it's Undertaker and John Cena...and it's next!"
Non-Title Match: The Undertaker Vs. John Cena
The Undertaker has dominted this entire match except for the opening sneak attack from Cena. The Undertaker picks up John Cena following a devastating chokeslam and delivers a tombstone!
Cole: "This is the end! John Cena's already got a bad neck!"
The Undertaker doesn't seem to be done yet as he picks up John Cena and delivers a second tombstone!
Cole: "Not again! Cena could be breathing his last breaths!"
The Undertaker picks up the WWE Champion for a third time and drives him head-first with another tombstone piledriver!
Tazz: "This is how SmackDown ended last week...five tombstones! Considering Cena walked in with a bad neck...it's got to be broken in half by now!"
The deadman does his finishing maneuver for a fourth time!
Cole: "It looks as if Carlito, John Cena, and Triple H have all basically worked together without knowing it. They've created a monster! This new Undertaker seems to be on a path of destruction until he's happy! And it looks he'll never be happy!"
For a fifth and final time, John Cena's head is driven into the mat with a tombstone. The Undertaker looks around and listens to the fans booing. Cameras zoom in on a few children scattered across the arena who are brought to tears over what has just happened to John Cena.
Tazz: "You know what Cole? About this whole Undertaker thing...have you realized that since this change his eyes have remained rolled into the back of his head? I haven't seen his pupils at all! The deadman seems to have crossed a fine line between good and evil! This is scary Cole!"
The Undertaker gets ready to pin the WWE Champion until he hears a spitting noise. It's Carlito's theme song! The fans are cheering as Carlito Caribbean Cool races to the ring with a chair in hand! Carlito slides into the ring, past The Undertaker! Carlito gets up to his feet quickly and smashes the chair across the head of the deadman! The official calls for the bell.
Winner: Undertaker by DQ
The Undertaker, instead of falling flat out, just stares down Carlito. The Caribbean superstar is now scared as he bolts out of the ring with The Undertaker stalking him. The fans tell Carlito to run as we see John Cena lying flat in the ring. They start up a "Cena! Cena! Cena!" chant but gets drowned out quickly by the sound of Triple H's music! The Game makes his way to the ring and laughs at the unconscious John Cena. He finds the new WWE Championship belt and throws it into the ring before climbing the ring steps. The music cuts out and everyone boos as The Game continues to mock the downed John Cena. Hunter picks up what's left of the WWE Champion and shows to the crowd that there's nothing left of him. Triple H gets tired of playing around fast as he sticks Cena' head between his legs and holds up his arms. The Game looks around to the crying and booing fans as he drives Cena's head into his own WWE Championship belt with a Pedigree!
Cole: "Well...if Cena's neck wasn't broken before...it is now!"
Tazz: "Triple H just picked up what was left and finished Cena off!"
Cole: "Will Cena ever be able to return from an injury like this?"
Tazz: "This could be the last time we see John Cena!"
Triple H steals the WWE Championship and celebrates up the ramp as paramedics make their way to the ring and check up on the condition of John Cena.
Cole: "We're saddened to see this at the end of our show. For Tazz, I am Micheal Cole saying goodnight!"

Congressman G. K. Butterfield (NC-01) today applauded the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for its recent grant of $309,232 to Elizabeth City State University (ECSU). The grant, Elizabeth City State University Minority Access to Research Careers (E-MARC), will be used to increase minority access to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields.
"For generations minority students have been underrepresented in the mathematics and science fields. Programs such as E-MARC address the need to balance the disproportionate rate and reflect the changing cultural fabric of our society," said Butterfield. "I would like to commend the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for taking a vested interest in the students of ECSU as they work to bridge the gap of minorities pursuing doctoral degrees in science, technology, engineering, and math disciplines."
Program participants are undergraduate students with a 3.50 GPA or above working toward a math or science degree. The program provides support to minority students in STEM majors to prepare them as competitive applicants for entry into doctoral programs. Services include participation in academic enhancement activities and summer research internship opportunities.
E-MARC programming is a subsidiary of the MARC Undergraduate Student Training in Academic Research (U-STAR) Awards. Students are selected for the E-MARC program during their final two years of undergraduate education to begin preparation for graduate level curricula.

Joe Biden, the US Vice-President, has reignited the controversy over gay marriage, accusing Republicans of being ''stuck in the 1950s'' on moral and social issues and proclaiming himself ''absolutely comfortable'' with same-sex marriages.
As he waded into one of the most divisive topics of the forthcoming US election, he stopped short of giving full backing to gay marriage, revealing his own party's uncertainty on the issue.
''I am absolutely comfortable with the fact that men marrying men, women marrying women, and heterosexual men and women marrying one another are entitled to the same exact rights, all the civil rights, all the civil liberties,'' he said. President Barack Obama's position is said by aides to be ''evolving''.

I've been there many times. No plants if thats what your looking for. Lot's of FW fish, they dont sell any SW animals. They also have the rodents birds and dogs if your looking for any of that :) If your looking for fish it's worth looking into. Or if you would like to get rid of some they are more then willing to take your fish for store credit. But I check in there from time to time just to see what fish they have for sell. They always seem to have something weird you cant find anywhere else. Pet world in Millard is like that too. They do alot of trade business with local fish breeders.
I have been trying to avoid Charlie's Angels like the plague. I haven't been too impressed with their fish care nor with their plant selection. I have been to Pet World once, and I will be returning on Sept. 17th for a swap meet.

Monday 27th January 2014
After yesterday's quiet day, Tracey and I decided to have another adventure day, so we went on our second island hopping tour. Leaving in the morning from Ao Po Pier near Phuket Town, we were taken on a slow boat to Panak Island. Here we switched to canoes and were taken by our guide Juan (oddly wearing a Chelsea shirt – I thought they were all Manchester United fans round here) to a little beach from where we entered a cave. Wading through water and ducking to avoid hanging rocks, we reached a place where we could stand and Juan pointed his torch upwards to bats hanging from the ceiling. We carried on to where it opened up again, this time to the sky. We were in a lagoon at low tide, and it was breathtakingly beautiful. Some of the lagoon bed was mud and we could see little walking fish scurrying along. Time to stoop low again on the trip back to the canoe. John then rowed us to another cave, and this time we could sail straight in to another lagoon at low tide. Again, jaw dropping scenery.
Juan took us from there back to the main boat for lunch and on to Hong Island.
There were about forty of us on the trip, and when the canoes took us all to a little beach on Hong Island, we were the only ones on that beach. Time for a little swimming and relaxing before going back the big boat and onto our final destination – Phang Nga, also known as James Bond Island as it was used for some of the filming in the 1973 film "The Man With the Golden Gun".
Long tail boats were used to transfer us to the island, which, as you might expect, is a bit commercial with a lot of souvenir shops with over aggressive sales people. We took pictures with the famous tall rock from the film in the background. Tracey came close to losing a flip-flop in the mud when she waded out towards the rock for a better picture.
And that was that, back to the hotel for a meal tired but happy.

Easy Braised Red Cabbage
- Servings: 6
- 1 cup red wine
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1 red cabbage, (about 3 pounds), halved lengthwise, cored, and thinly cut crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices
- 2 teaspoons coarse salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
In a large Dutch-oven, bring the wine, honey, oil, and fennel seeds to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage, and season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is soft but not mushy, about 1 hour.

MS105930838 NOV, 2011very flavourful, very pretty on the plate, and aromatic. The only change I made was I added a sliced onion in with the cabbage. I served it with roasted sausages and rosemary potatoes, nice combination of autumn flavours. I did find that it needed only half the suggested cooking time, but perhaps it is because I halved the recipe.Reply
EcoVillageProduce-Barbara16 OCT, 2011This is an excellent recipe. Excellent with pork. Great way to fix red cabbage when you don't know what to do.Reply
ejingtreasure7 NOV, 2008Delicious combination of spices, wineReply

New Year's Eve: Parties, too much champagne, confetti, and resolutions. The parties are easy (even if the morning after isn't). Even making the resolutions is easy. But succeeding at them isn't. If it was, you would not have to put the same resolutions on your list every year. But I think that video games can teach us a lesson here. They manage to make large numbers of people want to succeed at something often rather absurd. (Kill a bunch of non-existent bad guys while collecting items that don't exist in the real world.) They do this by cleverly teasing our brain's desires, rewarding us at just the right time, motivating us with dopamine, and breaking a large and difficult task into a series of easier and measurable ones that get rewarded. We play, we get rewarded, we persist, and eventually we succeed. How about if we apply that same reasoning to resolutions? If you want to over think it a bit, listen to Tom Chatfield's Ted talk on how games are perfectly tuned to dole out rewards that engage the brain and keep us questing for more and how that strategy can be applied to everyday life. New Year's resolutions seem like a risk-free way to test this theory before applying it to work or other real-life missions. So instead of promising that in 2014, "I'm going to lose 20 pounds, get a new job, and write a novel." Break each resolution into a series of tasks that can be measured and rewarded. Involve other players. In short, design a game around making your resolution a reality. At the very least it will be more interesting than simply failing. There is probably an infinite number of ways to do this. But I plan to use HabitForge.com – an online tool that starts with the premise that it takes 28 days to form a habit and measures and rewards success until you succeed for that length of time – to manage rewarding the small measurable tasks.
Turn New Year's resolutions into a game
Video games are brilliant at getting players engaged. The same strategy can help you succeed at your resolutions.

An Investment Opinion
by Dale Wettlaufer
GE Invests in CNET
CNET Inc. (Nasdaq: CNWK) gained another $3 7/16 to $48 9/16 after surging $12 1/8 to $45 1/8 yesterday. The big news is that General Electric's (NYSE: GE) NBC unit will invest $26 million in CNET for a 5% stake in the company, and that it will will take a 20% stake in the company's Snap! Internet content aggregator site. Throughout the Internet sector, companies reacted to the news that GE is making a strategic move to stake out a place on the Internet. Yahoo! (Nasdaq: YHOO) jumped $8 1/2 yesterday, and Excite (Nasdaq: XCIT) picked up $3 1/4 and added another $1 1/2 to $66 1/2 this morning. Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN), which is linked into many of these content aggregator/search engine sites, benefited from the GE move, too, as it gained $5 yesterday and this morning gained another $4 to $55 1/4, no doubt as the result of a nasty-looking short squeeze.
That GE would shrug off its forgettable and costly experience with the GEnie online service and move into the online area again is an outgrowth of what it has been doing across its network television lineup. CNBC and MSNBC have already shown the value of integrating online offerings with network television offerings. NBC now wants something more generic, or more wide-ranging, than a narrowly defined website to go with a niche network. Granted, Snap! is a pretty generic, low-budget copy of Yahoo!, but GE will be taking over all operating expenditures for the site. That relieved CNET's shareholders, as Snap! has been a cash leech.
Pundits hailed the investment as watershed event. After all, if GE is getting into the Internet, the Internet must be for real. However, GE has been on the Internet for a while, but the investment could possibly be interpreted as a watershed event for content aggregators in general. Strategically, it's pretty much a given that any television network needs a general presence on the Internet, and not just some lame website that tells you all about the network's head anchor and what time to watch the network's most popular sitcom. An Internet site has to bring value to the network's viewers and will someday be an integral part of the media interface between a network and its viewers. After all, a network is a content producer and aggregator that just uses a different medium than does an Internet content aggregator and producer. When bandwidth constraints melt away, it will be hard to separate one medium from the other. However, this is priced into things like Amazon.com and Yahoo!. This may not have been priced into CNET, which has been struggling with the Snap! service. But it's not really a paradigm-busting investment -- it's the natural progression of "the media."
Walt Disney Co. (NYSE: DIS) rose $1 7/8 to $118 3/8 after announcing that shareholders have approved the entertainment company's previously announced 3-for-1 stock split, for which the company has set June 19 as the record date.
Ameritrade Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: AMTD) gained $1 3/4 to $28 1/2 after the online trading firm announced that its customer base has more than doubled in six months to 217,000 accounts from 98,000. CEO Joe Ricketts said he expects "tremendous growth ahead of us."
Diving and marine construction services company Ceanic Corp. (Nasdaq: DIVE) soared $2 13/16 to $18 1/4 after announcing it has agreed to be acquired by subsea contractor Stolt Comex Seaway S.A. (Nasdaq: SCSWF) for around $222 million, or $20 per share, in cash. That's a 29.5% premium over Ceanic's closing price yesterday.
Interconnect products manufacturer Parlex Corp. (Nasdaq: PRLX) jumped $2 1/2 to $15 3/4 after announcing it expects a record level of shipments this quarter and projects results will be "in line" with company expectations.
Battery manufacturer Electric Fuel Corp. (Nasdaq: EFCX) surged $3/4 to $4 15/16 after its consumer battery division yesterday announced a new zinc-air disposable battery that will offer enough power for a typical user to run an analog cellular phone for up to a week and a digital cellular phone for up to a month.
Online database services company FactSet Research Systems (NYSE: FDS) advanced $1 11/16 to $32 9/16 after reporting third quarter earnings of $0.30 a share, up from $0.22 for the year-ago period. The mean analyst estimate listed in First Call was $0.28.
Computer disk drive maker Western Digital Corp. (NYSE: WDC) was spun for a $3 5/8 loss to $11 7/8 after saying late yesterday that it expects a fiscal Q4 loss of more than $100 million due to pricing pressures and lower unit volumes for its desktop hard drives. The results will be "substantially short" of the Street's expectations, the company said. Further, the loss will result in a technical default of the firm's bank line of credit at the end of the quarter.
Lattice Semiconductor (Nasdaq: LSCC) fell $7 1/16 to $29 7/16 after the maker of ISP programmable logic devices said it expects a 20% sequential decline in revenues and a 30% sequential decline in net income in fiscal Q1. The company said its "turns" business from European and North American clients will not be enough to offset declining demand for its products in Japan and Asia. However, the company remains "optimistic" about its long-term prospects. Bear Stearns and Morgan Stanley Dean Witter both cut their ratings on the company this morning.
Supply chain management software provider Manugistics Group (Nasdaq: MANU) was dumped $3 1/16 to $21 5/8 after reporting a fiscal Q1 loss of $0.32 per share compared with earnings of $0.09 per share a year ago. The firm had warned of an operating loss last month. The company said it will focus more intensely on its sales efforts, professional services and consulting businesses, and recently rolled out sales and marketing initiatives to improve its financial performance during the rest of the fiscal year.
Read-Rite Corp. (Nasdaq: RDRT) slid $7/16 to $7 7/8 after the maker of magnetic recording heads for rigid disk drives said "difficult" industry conditions and declining demand for its products will result in sequentially flat fiscal Q3 sales. However, cost-cutting efforts should result in a Q3 loss less than the $1.29 per share loss in Q2. The Street had been expecting a loss of $0.49 per share.
Cigar maker Consolidated Cigar Holdings (NYSE: CIG) was torched for a $15/16 loss to $11 3/4 after doing an about-face and rescinding its prior forecast that fiscal 1998 earnings would top fiscal 1997 results by more than 20%. Instead, the firm said high inventory levels of premium brand cigars at retailers and wholesalers make it difficult to project its future results. The firm also warned that earnings in fiscal Q2 will fall below the $0.43 per share earned last year and the $0.50 per share expected by analysts surveyed by First Call.
Semiconductor maker Texas Instruments (NYSE: TXN) lost $2 3/4 to $53 1/8 after the Wall Street Journal reported that IBM (NYSE: IBM) plans to compete with the company in the market for digital signal processors (DSPs) by offering technical data to its clients in the hopes of garnering orders for custom-made chips. Fellow DSP maker Analog Devices (NYSE: ADI) also fell $1 3/16 to $24 11/16 on the news.
Premiere Technologies (Nasdaq: PTEK) tumbled $4 7/16 to $10 after the provider of 800-based and conference calling services said it expects to report after-tax fiscal Q2 earnings of between $0.09 and $0.13 per share, which is below the Street's forecast of $0.28 per share. The company's estimate does not include about $17 million in charges related to financial difficulties of a customer and a strategic partner in 800-based services, lower-than-expected revenues from its voice messaging business, and other unanticipated costs. Prudential Securities downgraded the company to "hold" from "buy."
United Technologies (NYSE: UTX), maker of Carrier air conditioners and Otis elevators, slumped $1 3/4 to $89 3/16 after an Air Force general told Aviation Week & Space Technology that the firm's Pratt & Whitney engines may be replaced on the F-15E fighter jet in favor of power plants made by General Electric (NYSE: GE).
Data storage management systems developer MTI Technology Corp. (Nasdaq: MTIC) slipped $1 21/32 to $8 23/32 after warning that its fiscal Q1 EPS will come in below analysts' expectations of $0.18 due to top line weakness in the firm's European operations and delays in shipping its Gladiator 3600 fibre channel product.

Caves of Vallorbe
The galleries carved out of the limestone in the Vallorbe Caves stretch over 3 km. The Fairy Treasure Trove, a collection of 250 minerals, enchants visitors.
The Vallorbe Caves, which are the biggest in the Jura, figure among the most interesting caves in Europe. They were discovered in 1961 and have been open to the public since 1974. High-ceilinged rooms alternate with galleries over a stretch of 3 km and in a constant temperature of 11°. Hollowed out by the river Orbe for centuries, the caves present a rich assortment of limestone concretions: stalactites, fistulas, limestone columns, and concretions in the shapes of bisons or fairy hair. The visit leads to the streams of the river Orbe flowing underground with deafening noise.
Recent installations improve the visiting conditions even more: modulated lighting focuses on the unusual features one by one; duckboard passages allow for a full view of the cave reliefs.
The visit can be extended with the discovery of a magnificent collection of minerals, the Fairy Treasure Trove, an exceptional moment in the caves.

Rotational spectra of the ground torsional state of the N-acetyl alanine methyl ester molecule, a derivative of the alanine dipeptide biomimetic molecule, have been measured using a mini Fourier transform spectrometer between 10 and 20 GHz as part of a project undertaken to determine the conformational structures of various peptide mimetics from the torsion-rotation parameters of low-barrier methyl tops. Torsional rotation splittings from two of the three methyl tops (the CH3 group capping the ?NH-C(=O)- group with a low potential barrier and the CH3 group capping the ?C(=O)-O- group with an intermediate potential barrier), account for most of the observed lines. In addition to the AA-state, two E-states have been assigned and include an AE-state having a V3 barrier of 396.29(8) cm-1 and an EA-state having a lower torsional barrier of 64.98(4) cm-1. (The two letters indicate the symmetry species of the wave function with respect to the nuclear-permutation-inversion group of the two tops; AA, AE, EA, and EE correspond to A1, E2, E1, and E3/E4 respectively in the permutation-inversion group G18). A third set of unassigned splittings, involving the EA-state, are likely associated with the two remaining EE-states. We have fit the observed torsional splittings corresponding to the AA, AE, and EA states using two different theoretical fitting procedures. In the first method, rotational transitions within the AA torsional state are fit separately from transitions within the AE and EA torsional states.

Service Entrance Interior Conduit Requirement
Hello everyone. I hope this will seem like an elementary question. I am upgrading an overhead 100 amp service entrance to an underground 200 amp entrance. Details have required the new meter base to be located beyond the 10' requirement, so a locally approved meterbase with disconnect is part of the project. SE cable will then go the 22 - 23' from the new base/disconnect to the existing breaker box using a standard 4/0 grouped cable (this way the old 100 amp distibution box will be updated eventually and have a full 200 amp system) - Requirements locally and in an old NEC copy of course identify the details of the feed through conduit from the base/disconnect as it goes into the building. Unfortunately I cannot find anything specifying the need for conduit the entire length. I have a local code requirements for a "drip loop" and support within 12" of each end, and 30" throughout the run, which leads me to believe that the conduit is not necessary in addition to it being isolated with the 200A disconnect, but niether say one way or the other.
Can anyone verify whether new NEC requires conduit for the full length? The cost and the labor to do either will be about the same, so it doesn't matter wether I do or don't in that regard, I just want to know and possibly anticipate any future NEC requirements of the same as well.
Conduit would only be required if the cable was subject to physical damage. I don't know why you would need drip loops inside a structure.
Since you ahve an outside disconnect, the panel inside should be fed with a 4 wire feeder like SER cable. The neutrals and ground will be isolated in the inside panel.

Terrell Owens hasn't caught a pass for the Buffalo Bills yet but there's no arguing that he is already the team's most popular and most recognizable player.
The Bills — who haven't made the playoffs in nine seasons and aren't deserving of any of this attention — are gladly riding T.O.'s coattails.
His reputation as a world-class athlete, receiver, fun-loving human being, A-1 narcissist and controversial team wrecker was built at previous NFL stops in San Francisco, Philadelphia and Dallas.
For paying him $6.5 million for one season and hauling his baggage, Buffalo gets to reap the rewards, such as:
--Adding an elite-level pass catching threat to an offense that ranked 25th in yardage.
--Packing the stands for every practice of training camp at St. John Fisher College in Rochester, N.Y., with upwards of 3,000 to 5,000 fans per day gobbling up food, drinks, jerseys and caps.
--Hitting the 53,000-plus mark in season ticket sales, astounding for a team that is riddled with holes and question marks.
--Sparking a national media invasion of Bills' camp, love the team wouldn't have gotten coming off three consecutive 7-9 finishes under Dick Jauron.
"It's awesome," said defensive end Chris Kelsay. "It brings that extra spark to training camp, to the team, to our organization and to be a part of that is special. It's good to see our fans get into it. He's been a great teammate and I'm looking forward to seeing him play on Sunday."
"I think we were prepared for it," running back Fred Jackson said. "He's doing us a favor. He gets all the national attention on us that we want."
Said Josh Reed: "We plan on him bringing as much excitement to the field as he has brought to the city."
So far, so good.
There wasn't a pass rush and nobody was tackling, but Owens, incumbent No. 1 Lee Evans and quarterback Trent Edwards gave a glimpse during the first week of camp of just how explosive they can be. Owens and Evans consistently hauled in deep balls in the 40- and 50-yard range from Edwards, who aired it out almost every practice. It's clear the Bills want to open things up and now have the weapons to do it.
"It's coming along," Owens said. "Out here, we've made some connections and every day is a work in progress. We're just here trying to get better, that's what training camp is all about."
Well, that and generating interest and momentum so the team can market itself and remain a viable franchise in a small market. So far, Buffalo has hit a financial home run with Owens.
Most veteran observers agree, only Buffalo's first camp in Rochester in 2000, with Doug Flutie still on the roster, comes close to the buzz.
"Obviously, he strikes the celebrity along with the football," said COO/GM Russ Brandon, who signed Owens in March just days after Owens was cut by Dallas.
"He's focused on football right now and that's what we're all focused on, but obviously there's a certain element that he brings ... elements of notoriety. We're excited about it as an organization and I know our fans are. It certainly (brings) great energy to the camp and it can only be a positive from our standpoint."
Evans, who has a low-key persona, is still managing to catch his share of deep balls and eliciting his own cheers from fans. As a rookie in 2004, Evans experienced Drew Bledsoe's popularity at quarterback but that didn't scratch what's taking place with T.O.
"You know when you see everything you have on paper and then you put it on the field, things happen, and you see the potential," Evans said. "That's the fun, that's what is bringing the excitement to our team and everyone associated with it."
With Owens, it began on the opening day of camp and it hasn't waned.
After talking with reporters, Owens went over to fans to sign autographs. The cheers were so loud, they drowned out coach Dick Jauron's news conference.
"It's terrific for us," Jauron said of the hoopla.
How can one player getting this much attention be good for the team?
"I don't know how it can be bad either," Jauron said. "The attention is here and he's gotten it throughout his career. It's not a new thing. It wasn't unexpected and he's performed. As long as he performs, we'll be all right."
Owens, who has blown up bigger than ever with a reality TV show, cereal brand, Twitter postings and talk show appearances, clearly is enjoying being the big fish in a small pond. There isn't a personality on Buffalo's roster strong enough to match his, something that did exist in his previous NFL cities.
"I'm used to it," he said of the rowdy cheers from the stands all during practices. "Everywhere I've been, it's always been that type of reception. It's nothing new. It may be new to you guys, but I've been in San Francisco, Dallas, Philly, those markets, so this here is a walk in the park."

503 twin turbo idea.
Im thinking Im going to build a 409 stroker and now I have most of the pieces in place, tell me if you think it will work ok, or if i should go for a shorter stroke etc. 409 truck block (bored min to clean up) 4.25 in BBC 4340 stroker crank machined so snout is SBC dia, fly weighs machined to clear ( feathered edges taken down) stock lenght forged eagle H beam rods, I have to call or email Ross and ask if they can make a 8-8.5:1 piston for that stroke I have seen the 10-11:1 but I want to turbo this so that wont do, I plan on BBC steel splayed main caps, Heavily ported 333 casting truck heads( not my first choice but they might do) I have heard you cant put larger valves in 348,409 heads due to hitting the water jackets. Any one tried to put larger valves in these? it may just be a rumor I guess i could have it sonic checked to see what i have to work with. Even with stock size valves i think with enough boost i could fill my cyls. I think this block should be perfect for a turbo set up due to 6 head bolts per cyl, Any ways I dont know what cam I should go with theres not a whole lot of choices I have seen. I want something fairly radical but i want to be able to drive on the street, if this means a vac can then i guess that works, this will be a mostly drag engine, I plan on going with a small pickup truck, something light that i can do a lot of frame work on and tub easily, that and it should surprise the rice in town nicely. any way any holes in my idea, I probably left alot out if you have any Q's ask, I dont know if i should go with a shorter stroke to get quicker revs or if i should stay with the torque monster idea. I have herd of 500 hp out of 4 in stroke kits but am looking for more than that if i can get it. I am thinking of a custom Fuel injection set up and maybe stealing most of the parts off a 454 or similar engine and just doing a custom intake to incorporate the parts of the system i can use. Th400 with a stall, Ford 9 with 3.70-4.30 gears, Stainless custom headers, twin turbos similar to that of a Power stroke so around t44s. I have that written down at home just cant think of it now. Any ideas thanks.
banks power should help you with your idea,or you could just lay out the 30 large for a tt smallblock putting out a base of 800 hp like my friends customer did.
Here is a friend of mines Caddy.
Its a twin turbo big block chevy 200 mph + car
You mean you intend to use a big block chevy crank on a 409? Are you sure the length of the shaft and cylinder spacing is correct for this application? I have never heard of anything like this... but if you have seen it done elsewhere on the net I would totally dig a link. Good luck
-matt ramsey
By the way, if you're worried about that bore:stroke ratio revving up, keep in mind it is only slightly lower than that of the new LS7 that redlines at 7 Gs in the new vette ZO6. I think the rev capabilities of that engine pretty much prove that the engine's ability to rev lies more in the camshaft profile and the air flow and spark accuracy than in the bore/stroke ratio itself. But the big stroke COULD mean you won't achieve as high a power at peak, and that the power curve may be more "pointed" if you know what I mean... the turbos won't help with that any, I'm sure.
just a stab in the dark but the LS7's high rev may have something to do with the titanium connecting rods and light weight forged crank and 11:1 CR too. Oh and it has a 15* valve angle and the gen III style intake runners. it's pretty stinkin cool! It actually has a lot to do with airflow because of how the gen III intake runners are designed...if the heads can't flow putting a high rpm cam won't do a whole lot.
personally I'm a fan of destrokers cause there's considerably less stress on the bottom end of the rotating assembly and they rev stupid fast. also to consider, the piston velocity is way slower on a destroker than a stroker at the same rpm. one of my friends had a NA 377 in his chevelle and that's one of the only cars that I've driven that's scary fast. If you go with a destroke, the turbo or turbos will more than make up for bottom end torque! Banks TT small block is based on a 400 bore/350 stroke and their pump gas engine is throwing 800hp down! 1,100hp with race gas.
just my 2 cents...

text: You've probably heard of both of these terms, but do you really know the difference between a 403b vs 401k? Even though in the My Money Deisgn household we have both types of plans, to be honest there was a long stretch of time where I didn't know what the major differences and similarities were between the 403b or 401k. So like most things financially, I jotted down some questions and began looking into each one to find out the answers. Below are my notes on what I found out: … [Read more...]

I have an exterior door that has a stuck plunger. I have tried to spray WD-40 to free it up. It did not work. Is there something else I can use? Would graphite work?
loosen some screws( the ones holding the knobs together) and try the w-40 again.
I would remove it and clean it with some type of aerosal degreaser or electrical cleaner, then lubricate with a non oily lubricant. Often this type of problem is caused by a collection of gunk from years of well intentioned oilings collecting dirt.
So which way is correct? I imagine that WD-40 would be considered an oily lubricant. So it appears we have a disagrement. If it helps the door is only 2 years old. I would not thin that there would be a lot of build up yet.
I appreciate the advice. I just want to make sure that what I am doing is right.
troubleseekers advise is good if this needs a big fix. I see many knobs installed a little too tight that demonstrate the problem you described.
try loosening the knobs / turn the knobs quickly/ if this doesn't free up your striker take the knob apart and clean & lube as advised.
Will do. Is WD-40 an acceptible lubricant?
wd 40 has its fans and detractors.
quick easy and I know where the can is.
graphite / 3 in one oil / grease / lithium grease/ etc. will all have there fans.
Really depends on what you want to do and the result you need and expect.
Silicone spray is a good lubricant. Not oil based and once the propellant evaporates, no residue to attract dirt.
WD-40 is actually a rust remover. Works great to break rusted bolts etc. apart. While used as a lubricant by many, that is not it's main intention. You're better off with a light 3 in 1 oil or the like. The silicon spray is a good idea as well. I would take the assembly completely apart and clean it in a good de-greaser bath then re-lube it.
Also, when it's apart, check for bent pieces or fittings. Sometimes the plunger where it contacts the knob gets bent.
You don't mention what type of lock it is or who made it. This might help.

Because I didn't get enough beta carotene yesterday I decided to have an orange elixir this morning.
Carrot Cake Juice (inspired by my recent visit to the Milwaukee Public Market)
- 2 navel oranges
- 4 carrots (peeled)
- 1 small knob of ginger (peeled)
- ground cinnamon, to taste
Put oranges, carrots and ginger through a juicer. Sprinkle with cinnamon, stir and enjoy!
This juice was sweet and delicious – I'm pretty certain it's my new favorite. If you like juice, I insist that you try it!
With the juice I had a small bowl of oatmeal/oat bran (1/8 each) topped with some left over pumpkin bread.
And then for dinner I had leftover butternut squash salad. Have I mentioned how much I love roasted b-nut in salad?
To be honest, I didn't really measure out the ingredients for this dish when I made it for Thanksgiving, however I'm going to make it again and measure everything so I can share the recipe!!!
Isaac and I went shopping today (not super early with all the crazies) and we got something new that I am super excited about. I'll post a before and after picture tomorrow. 🙂
Hope everyone is enjoying their t-day leftovers as much as I am!
PS. The title of my post comes from the title of a "oldie but goodie" song that I enjoy. Any guesses?

Dissertation Style
Posted On December 10th, 2007 | Dissertation Writing
When you start writing your dissertation, you should remember about the dissertation style.
There are certain requirements for different dissertation styles. The most frequently used dissertation styles are the APA dissertation styles and MLA styles. If the dissertation style is specified, it is easier to organize your writing process. So, the main issue of this article is the importance of a dissertation style in the dissertation writing process.
Before you start gathering information and writing your dissertation, you should consult your tutor and choose a dissertation style, if not specified. Then, it is necessary to find a guide, which describes the requirements for the chosen dissertation style. You can either ask your tutor whether he/she has a guide, go to the library or visit the official web-site.
If you still have some questions concerning a dissertation style, you should not be afraid to ask for help. Try to remember that committee is sure to pay attention to the dissertation style and format when evaluating your work. Be very attentive. It is easy to check whether the requirements for your dissertation style are fulfilled or not.
Any dissertation style has some common features; here are some of them:
- Margins – 1-inch;
- Chapters – each chapter should be written on a separate page;
- Paragraphs – double-spaced;
- Heads – certain font;
- Bibliography – alphabetic order, specific arrangement of the information;
Dissertation styles requires one side printing. Pay attention to the enumeration of every page.
In fact, when you choose a dissertation style, you should consider all points that can both help you or create some problems.

The Nokia Lumia 920 is technically one of the most exciting phones available but it has been supersceded by the Nokia Lumia 1020. Not only does it have features like an optically stabilised camera for blur-free night time shots and inbuilt wireless charging to do away with pesky cables but it also has the growing in capability Microsoft Windows Phone 8 operating system that's been imbued with a host of Nokia extras. However a smartphone isn't about any single feature but the device as a whole, so how does the Lumia 920 fare?
Nokia has always had a pretty good eye for design and that was no more in evidence than on the company's last flagship phone the Nokia Lumia 800, which we thought the best looking phone of its time. Here then the company has simply taken that same design and made it a bit bigger.
The whole phone is hewn from one piece of polycarbonate plastic into which is set the slightly curved screen. To keep the whole thing looking as seamless as possible all the ports and slots are kept in the flat ends, with just the buttons ranged up the right edge. The unbroken effect it creates gives the phone a wonderfully premium feel, particularly thanks to the quality of plastic used – the colour is in the plastic so doesn't scratch off like paint does.
However, what's less impressive is Nokia's choice of finishes. On the Lumia 800, all the colour options were available in a matt finish which looked and felt great. Here, though, all but the black model use a glossy finish. Not only will this look worse when it inevitably begins to pick up scratches but it's also more slippery, sliding off laps and the arms of sofas almost as readily as the glass backed iPhone 4S. Plus, it doesn't half show up fingerprints. Thankfully Nokia is still offering the Lumia 920 in a matt black version which looks superb and isn't as slippery.
Then there's the weight of the thing. Somehow Nokia has managed to make what is far from the largest phone on the market one of the heaviest. Coming in at 185g, this 4.5in phone is heavier than the enormous 5.5in Samsung Galaxy Note 2. We've asked Nokia just why it is the phone weighs so much but the company hasn't yet come back with anything specific, saying it's a combination of factors. It seems likely that it's the optically stabilised camera that is the main culprit, though.
With dimensions of 130.3 x 70.8 x 10.7 mm, it's not exactly the slimmest handset either.
All that said, we don't find the size or weight too much of a problem and actually like the overall feel of the device. The curved sides and back mean the phone fits snugly in the hand and it's far from so heavy that it's uncomfortable.
The arrangement of buttons is also excellent. As the phone uses Windows Phone 8 the function of the buttons is identical to all other Windows Phone 8 handsets but here they're well positioned and easy to operate. Down the right edge are the volume, power and camera buttons while under the screen are touch sensitive buttons for Back, Start and Search.
The touch sensitive buttons are nice and responsive but it's the side mounted ones that really make it. They're well defined so are easy to tell apart by feel alone, they're easy to press and the low positioning of the power button makes it easy to unlock the phone without having to use two hands or shuffle your grip around.
Taking a quick tour of the rest of the phone, up top is the microSIM tray - which pops out at the push of a pinhole button - and the headphone jack along with the second microphone for noise cancelling when making a call. Meanwhile on the bottom is the primary microphone, the speaker and the microUSB socket for conventional charging and connecting to a computer. Plus, of course there's the main camera on the back and a front facing one above the screen. All pretty standard stuff.
However, what is missing is a microSD slot, meaning there's no way to upgrade the phone's storage. Thankfully you can get this handset with up to 32GB of built in storage, which should be enough for most people.
Also, without a readily removable backplate, you can't easily swap out the battery. Again, it's probably not an issue for most people day to day but both the latter points are key reasons why the Samsung Galaxy S4 remains such a popular handset – many would rather have the option than not.

Better start writing that epitaph.
32GB of memory, excellent. No microSD kills it dead for me. Shame my sons 900 seems really good; but no SD no buy.
This is a preview, not a review. Why is it under the Reviews section?
website back-end limitation
Funnily enough, we've just made an update that allows us to more clearly label our articles and we're just in the process of rolling out an editorial policy to make sure that happens. In other words, this and other first impression, first look, hands on articles will be clearly labelled as such from now on. They will, though, still appear in the reviews column as there are still some other back-end limitations in place, as ChaosDefinesOrder rightly points out. Sorry for any confusion.
Argh, how'd that get there. More haste, less speed...
Does it also fix the terrible comments system? ;-)
Chance would be a fine thing. We should be fixing it within the next couple of months, though.
Hmm yeah, I agree it is annoying, given this OS and the Nokia 820 now supports expandable storage. Sure 32GB and some cloud storage is plentiful but, and this is the same thing I thought of with the Nexus 7, having cloud storage and a high but capped storage capacity should not be used as excuses to not include a microSD card slot.
Looks like a pretty respectable handset, would like to see grey being replaced by blue however. And make all those colors smooth matte as opposed to fingerprint magnet gloss
Now this article has been re-released as a full review, maybe now is the time to correct that pesky screen resolution? See earlier post above (5 sept)
Twist my arm. Done.
...and would it be churlish to mention the size of the Galaxy Note 2 display? Should by 5.5 inches.
I would be interested in hearing about how Lumia 920 works as a phone, is voice quality good? In many mobile phones quality is so poor that it's unconvinient to discuss by phone.
I was planning on getting myself a red version , but the black one in this review looks so cool to me . And 32GB is more than enough for me .
I want to buy this sim free, is it out anywhere yet? Have found 2 places where it is on pre order for a week or more but still no phone! EE have it but am not paying for their overpriced service.
Lovely review chaps, thanks for this.
My overall impression is that it is a lovely physical device....but wouldn't it be nice if it was a Nexus device running vanilla Android?
Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of Windows Phone 8 and I actually want a device (I think I'll get the HTC 8X if I go down this route due to the smaller screen and headphone amp) - the single biggest thing stopping me getting WP8 at the moment is the lack of Spotify - I'm a pro member and won't give that up. I suspect this is something that is holding a lot of people back - they've got apps they like in another ecosystem that aren't available on this platform yet.
You've been promising to fix the comments system since just after this version was introduced. A couple of months ago you said it would be fixed in a couple of months. In the meantime the comments section has almost died.
Sorry to sound like I'm having a go; this has been dragging on though. The biggest killer is the delay in posts showing up; that's killing the comments far more than spam would. I've been posting here for years; it seems daft and insulting that my comments still have to be approved.
It is imminent, I promise. We've committed to another service and done most of the development work for the transition but emergency issues elsewhere in the company meant our developers were pulled away from finalising flicking the switch. Any time in the next week or two the new system should be up and running though.
That's good news; the comments used to be almost as valuable as the actual review and it'd be great if we could get that back.
"the fact that the homescreen is simply one long list, rather than pages of apps" - I've not used WP8, but I'm surprised that it doesn't support a similar way of 'zooming out', like on Window 8 (and RT) to display groups of apps, that you can label and quickly jump to.
i love the colors of these phones, and the fact that AT&T carries them (and are compatible with 4GLTE). I have a hair salon in Dallas and our color scheme is exactly the same as all these phones. I could buy them all! (Of course, wouldn't that be nice, to have more than one you could use?!)

Isnt it great when you have a successful range day? Nice shooting.
This is a discussion on Range Day within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Took my Colt XSE to the range today. I love this 1911. So accurate. I hit 10 head shots at 15 yards with the first ...
Isnt it great when you have a successful range day? Nice shooting.
Beautiful gun--and I think you took care of the green bad guy.
Great looking gun, great shooting! Love a good day at the range, especially when shooting well. Is that you in your avatar?

Going to show my naiveness here but - are your bullet-holes rectangular? That's not because of tumbling bullets, right? Thats just how the target tore when it was hit?
Sorry for the silly question =) Quite nice 1911, definitely, and good shooting.

Moran on Monk
Today marks the 90th anniversary of the birth of one of the masters of American music, Thelonious Monk. Monk, who died in 1982, left numerous recordings in his inimitable piano style; and broke new ground with visionary compositions such as "Brilliant Corners" and "Round Midnight." As Sara Fishko tells us in this edition of the Fishko Files, hearing Thelonious Monk's music for the first time can be habit-forming, as well as life-changing. It certainly was for Jason Moran.
Tonight's Thelonious Monk Birthday Events
Monk at 90
Jason Moran will participate in a conversation with distinguished Jazz critic Gary Giddens about Monk's music and legend. The event will include a solo performance by Moran.
Elebash Recital Hall - CUNY, The Graduate Center
