Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:16am
The weekend preview includes some good news and bad news for Colgate fans. But it starts with a wild conference race in the America East.
Hartford at Vermont, 1 p.m.
Binghamton at UMBC, 3:30 p.m.
Albany at Stony Brook, 7 p.m.
I have hoped to find a way for conference tournaments to get every team into the field.
The America East did the next-best thing: Entering Saturday, one team has clinched a spot in the conference tournament but the other five are still alive.
Albany (10-4, 4-0) has clinched a spot in the four-team tournament. But the other spots are up for grabs. Stony Brook, Hartford and UMBC each is tied at 2-2 in conference play and Binghamton and Vermont are 1-3.
Binghamton and Vermont need to win and have a little help to reach the conference tournament. Binghamton plays conservative offense — only 57 possessions per game, according to IL stats guru Brian Coughlin. For UMBC, Poe has been a standout but opponents are shooting 32.9%.
The Seawolves, meantime, are a high-percentage shooting team and put a lot of shots on goal. They are hosting the tournament and thus have plenty of incentive.
Standouts to watch on Saturday among the five teams battling for a playoff spot include:
*Binghamton junior Matt Springer (tied the school record with 32 goals)
*UMBC junior Phil Poe (57.9% face-offs, 75 groundballs)
*Vermont senior Drew Philie (30 goals) and junior Graham Horvath (28 goals)
*Stony Brook senior Jeff Tundo (34 goals, 23 assists) and freshman Brody Eastwood (34 goals)
*Hartford freshman Jack Bobzien (30 assists). Bobzien was a standout guard in basketball at Arapahoe High (Colo.)
Colgate at Lehigh in Patriot League Semifinals, Friday, 7:30 p.m., CBS College Sports
The surprise scoreline of the year may have come when Cornell defeated Colgate, 19-3, on March 2.
The Raiders (8-5) rebounded to reach the four-team Patriot League Tournament — albeit as the No. 4 seed — and face the host and top-seeded Mountain Hawks (10-4).
The winner of the tournament will get an automatic berth in the NCAA Tournament.
But back to Colgate's early loss to Cornell. How often has a team lost by double-digits in the regular season and reached the NCAA Tournament?
And has a team that scored three goals in a regular season game reached the NCAA Tournament?
Dating from 1993, there are many examples of teams that lost by 10 or more goals in the regular season who reached the NCAA Tournament.
Moreover, the three goals is hardly a low for teams that reached the postseason.

2008 Canisius

2009 Virginia

10 goals
21 teams
The possible bad news: I couldn't find a team that had lost by 16 and reached the NCAA Tournament dating from 1993. But a lopsided loss in the regular season is hardly a death knell for postseason chances that I thought it might be.
Georgetown at Rutgers, Sat., 7 p.m.
It is unclear whether coach Brian Brecht will be on the sidelines for the Scarlet Knights. With a win, the Hoyas will reach the Big East Tournament. Rutgers (2-11) enters with a top face-off unit (nine in adjusted face-off percentage, according to IL stats guru Brian Coughlin) and a good goalie.
The Hoyas counter with junior LSM Tyler Knarr, one of the top face-off men in the nation.

Also realize there are performance pads and performance pads.
There are street performance pads that work fine cold. Maybe not quite as well as stock BMW pads, but still fine for street use. Less dust many itme, low noise, but better high temperature performance.
Then there are track biased performance pads. Most of these take a good bit of heat to work. NOT good for street use, since you often have cold pads with virtually no bite. Also these tend to make a lot of noise and a LOT of dust, which may be corrosive adn ruin wheels and paint jobs if not washed off promptly.
There are a few pads with reasonble cold bite that hold up on the track. But they are few.
The rotors had nothing to do with it, he picked the wrong pads.

OMG! I couldn't help but laugh as hard as I tried not too. They really have no room to talk though. I have heard of quite a bit of inbreeding in western Pa too.

But yet they choose to come to WVU instead of Pitt.
Why is that...?
#4 Oct 24, 2011
WVU could very lose anywhere from 2-4 of their next 5 games
and they most likely will and deserve to, hell they almost got beat by Maryland
the defense is very bad and its not hard to stop the offense either
United States
#5 Nov 6, 2011
They'll lose every game they play in the Big 12.
#6 Nov 28, 2011
WVU has beat Pitt in the last 3 games. In the past 10 years WVU has beat Pitt 7 times. Just the facts.

When you talk shit you also better be prepared to swallow some as well. Open up bitchass WVU just scored again.....
#12 May 28, 2012
And so will Texas and Texas Tech and Baylor and Oklahoma State and Kansas and Kansas State and probably Maryland maybe James Madison and I hope that Marshall thumps you.
But without a doubt Oklahoma will whip your sorry asses and it will be right in front of your idiot fans. The Big 12 is gonna eat you assholes alive.
Might even drive your head coach (Otis Campbell) that's what we call him in Charleston and Huntington to drink and enter a casino again. If he isn't fired first.
Go ahead and hire yourself a new head coach in waiting, cause your gonna need it. One of the Bowden boys may be available.
#13 May 28, 2012
hey " herd91" wasn't you the same loser that was trolling the charleston topix under the name " Huntington rocks "? So how are those fat chicks treating you down there ? You mentioned you liked chicks that lived in charleston , Huntington , and the worst part of PA and those are named some of the fattest cities !! Good luck having sex with those buffalo sized girls , at least the ladies down here like to keep thin and fit . I bet either you haven't been laid since 91 or you haven't been able to see your dick since 91 !!
#14 May 28, 2012
The Ho's (Not ladies) in Morgan-hole are thin because most are strung out on meth. And no I didn't post under another username.
Speaking of Huntington if you would like to see what a real National Champonship trophy looks like then please let me know and I can give you directions to Marshall University where it is housed. Then it's over to Pruetts steak house for a nice healthy meal and if your gps is working you can be back in that cesspool of a town before anymore couches are burned.
#15 May 28, 2012
so do you have to tip over those big buffalo girls just to have sex with them ? Look at your welfare office it's fucking huge ! You people eat McDonald's like it's going out of style ( hints why your ranked in the most obese towns ) you can't stop cooking meth with Kentucky for the life of yah , and you have so much black crime that it's like a little Compton . Why can't you get athletes that are decent people instead of ones that are addicted to crime ? Maybe it's because that whole area is a true shithole ... I suggest you get back to your low rent apartment before another black " athlete " robs you of your fried chicken and kool-aid !!
#16 May 28, 2012
Pac Man Jones...LOL! Really? LOL!
and what would Chris Henry be doing right now if he hadn' taken the nest tea plunge out of the back of his pickup?.....he would be scratching at his coffin lid yelling..."let me out" let me out"
Speaking of those two which one was arrested for stealing laptops out of other students apartments? And what's the latest rap sheet on Bruce Irvin and etc....
Should I bring up Heather Bresch and her free diploma? Nah" i'll wait!
Is Noah Cottrill still enrolled? Is Noel Devine still in the NFL? Son....leave it alone you are way out of your league.
Your BB Coach (Chuggins) been pulled over lately? Chuggins...get it? Chuggins! LOL!
#17 May 28, 2012
Who was the dude that got caught driving down a one way street the wrong way, right dab in front of the police department? Talk about ignorant" how would you like a pup out of that litter? Geez! where do you imbeciles get these morons?
#18 May 28, 2012
Sorry about that folks . My brother doesn't mean to talk about wonderful Morgantown like that . He missed his breast feeding with me and had to get it from mother instead . He threw a mighty big fit because I wouldn't give him some but now I will let him suckle to put him in a more chipper mood .
#19 May 28, 2012
It's such a pretty day so why don't you take a drive up to Pittsburgh and pick you up some provisions for you and your loved ones. Maybe take in a movie and grab you a bite before heading back to that cesspool you live in.(don't forget your GPS)
BTW: They also have a National Championship trophy if you care to take the time to glance at it. The University of Pittsburgh and Marshall University BOTH have National Championship trophys in their trophy case....hmmm! Go figure!
How embarrassing is this? The only school in the entire nation with a head football coach barred from entering a casino....you idiots and Ollie Luckless must be proud of that gem. LOL!
Yea before I forget if you run across your head football coach let him know that Herd 91 will be at the tri-state gaming center next friday night and i'll check and see if he's still barred. I'll let you know!
#20 May 28, 2012
I guess the breast feeding didn't work , maybe I should have let him suckle longer . Since it is a pretty day , he will probably just burn off his negative energy with his convict Marshall athletes .. I just hope they don't beat another cop , sling drugs , or gang rape women again . Maybe they will spend time in Kentucky making meth instead . Lord knows my brothers only has two teeth and likes the big buffalo style girls :(
United States
#21 Jun 21, 2012
Hey Herd 91 - Marshall is our annoying little step brother who makes us play with him. No one in Morgantown gives a damn about your crappy school, so waste your time elsewhere. At least WVU is in a real conference. I know that jealousy has to hurt, but get over it. Also, saying all our girls are thin because they're on drugs? Maybe some, but most just work out. And the Huntington area has a HELL of a lot more crime and drugs than we do - Check those facts with a State Trooper. Now take your sour, Thundering turd ass back to the land of the fat has-beens (when were you guys good at football again?) and move on.

Fact of the matter is...our liberty is lost one step at a time, in small increments, not so much that you notice, but one day you wake up and have none.
Make no mistake...this is the first step. It may take years, or even a generation or two, but one the ball starts rolling downhill, it picks up speed.

Beware of beginning of the end predictions. Anyone remember the "assault weapons" ban that was touted to be the beginning of the end? Chuckie Schumer said "wait until you see the rest of the camel". Chuckies camel lost its nose and head when the AWB expired like it was scheduled to. Twenty years ago the Brady bunch was awash in cash. They had unrestricted access to the white house: Now they're having trouble paying their bills and anti-gun organizations are shunned like the plague.
It seems every time I got solicited to donate money to fight something it was the "first step". Isn't this really more like the 17th step?
But seriously now, if was accept the premise that the jackbooted storm troopers are just waiting for the green light to kick our doors in and take all of our weapons away, and that the feds don't care about the Constitution and SCOTUS precedents, why do they need a scrap of paper from the U.N. to do their evil deeds? If they are really as evil and diabolical as some would have us believe what was stopping them from kicking our doors in right after Gabby Giffords was shot? Or why didn't they do it before SCOTUS heard Heller and McDonald?
Infowars- Proving David Hannum right on a daily basis
Its fine with you that we have taken seventeen steps away from freedom? That with each step we have left freedom farther behind?Isn't this really more like the 17th step?
When did I ever say that?Its fine with you that we have taken seventeen steps away from freedom? That with each step we have left freedom farther behind?
Infowars- Proving David Hannum right on a daily basis
The idea that these gradual attempts will ever work is ludicrous. These little attempts are like thinking that a fifteen foot boat piloted by a handful of illiterate teens could board and take over a huge oil tanker on the open ocean.
No wait, thats not a good example. I'll get back to you on this.
Folks have been talking about this and that for years. For you to try to say this is a first step that might not see fruition for generations is like making any prediction....you may be right and you may be wrong. But times and attitudes do change. From womans rights to slavery. We love to qoute the Constitution and founding founders when we want but we forget that the COnstitution was not close to being perfect. Do not mistake this for me saying the 2nd amendment should go away. In fact, I want to see an Amendment to the COnstitution to clarify any issues the courts have with it..and yes, they do have trouble with it. We can say it is black and white and there is no ambiguity but unfortuantely folks on this forum do no sit on SCOTUS.

The Electrician Sachin Pandiya was extremely skilled. He managed to repair items which other electrician had asked me to trash. This not only helped me save money but I realised that from now onwards Task Bob will be my first choice for handyman jobs. Apart from the skill I also must say this particular electrician was v respectful and honest in his dealings. I'm a fully satisfied and delighted customer.

The Pentagon will be releasing its report on whether the infamous, "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy should be ended. There have been so many words written or spoken about this topic it is virtually impossible to add a new one to the debate. The 370 page Pentagon report concludes that most members of the military support and end to the policy as to their family members. BUT, there are those who oppose ending the ban. Naturally, since a 101% did not agree to end the ban, this will justify Republicans like John McCain for arguing they are fighting to protect the rights of the minority. Can't you hear him speaking: "When I was a POW in Hanoi during the Vietnam War my life was not being threatened by the torture I endured, but the thought that one of my fellow prisoners was gay and would make an advance on me while I slept in the cell. Pull out my finger nails, let me hang from a ceiling, but please, dear God, don't make me sleep next to a gay guy."
400,000 surveys sent out to members of the military. 115,052 reponded. 150,000 surveys sent to family members, 44,260 responded.
Conclusion: A majority is in favor of ending the ban on gays and lesbians.
Republican Conclusion: Since 101% is not for ending the ban, it must remain.

The Evening Chronicle (Alan Oliver) is reporting today that Newcastle are on the trail of Wolfsburg's German under-21 international striker Ashkan Dejagah.
Ashkan Dejagah – reports we are interested in 22 year-old German striker
It seems that Dennis Wise, who is still very unpopular on Tyneside, but attended the Reserve game last night at St. James' Park, is still hunting young stars for the club. We shouldn't be too surprised – since that's his job.
It turns out Dennis Wise was watching Nice's French winger Loic Remy, at the Under-21 game between France and Germany a couple of weeks back, but he was impressed with the 22-year Dejagah.
Ashkan moved to Wofsburg from Hertha Berlin in 2004, and has played 34 times for the German side, scoring 9 goals, and he has represented at Under-17, Under-19 and Under-21 sides. He played 35 times for Hertha Berlin scoring 3 goals.
However, we do seem to have plenty of young strikers on our books right now. 22 year-old Xisco was just signed on September 1st, and we have Gateshead-born Andrew Carroll, who still looks a very good prospect.
Add to them impressive 17 year-old Nile Ranger, who we signed form Southampton in the summer, and is scoring goals for fun in the Reserves and Under-18 side, and also our 18 year old Italian striker Fabio Zamblera, who is also a very impressive youngster.
Dennis Wise had talks last Wednesday with interim Newcastle manager Joe Kinnear, and Joe did say he had started working closely with Dennis for the January transfer window.
It would appear that Xisco has little future at Newcastle, if indeed we do bring in another young striker, and we hope we can recoup the almost £6M we paid for him so recently. That's especially true because of Ameobi's much improved form, and we would expect Joe to keep Shola, if he is still in charge come January.
Kinnear has hinted he would try to sell 22 year-old Xisco to a Spanish club and bring in other players, maybe even from the Championship, where he has lots of contacts with scouts, many of whom used to play for him.
We'd certainly like to see him improve our squad in both quantity and quality in the new year, and he seems to be in the best position of anybody right now, to make transfer decisions.
What do you think?
Let us know – comments and opinions always welcome – but please keep them decent – thanks.

The fact is that the NRA isn't sending a mailing to you. They are sending a mass mailing to millions of people. Sure, each mailing costs money. But even if most people throw them away, the contributions they receive as a direct result of the mailing pays for the cost of the mailing and adds needed funds to the coffers.

Goth Lyfe
A show about goths and kids trying to be goth.
It's Nameless!
Dead Babies
How much fun can one have with dead babies?
Quick & funny
This was a sweet little two minute Lock flash,the concept was funny with Wine Lock wanting to destroy his computer with a hammer due to it's ineffectiveness and then it becomes a big quest of him going to every other Lock searching for that hammer which in the process had a lot of funny moments,overall i enjoyed this Lock flash very much so great job.
Well that was a bit much, no?
Didn't this submission seem a bit odd, and a bit much for such a trivial idea in the first place? The graphics were solid, as they always are, but once again the submission lacked in the story department. It lacked any flavour or feeling to it, and I did not enjoy it in the least bit. I mean, is it such a big deal to smash a computer with a hammer? Not really, not to go around walking and shit, like he did. Kinda' odd really. Meh.
Wierd, lol.
This was funny, but it could have been better in my opinion.
Bonus points for fable :B
This is my favorite of your Lock Legion submissions. I hope to see more like this.
Cool stuff
THe animating was decent and the story was not bad.

Sterling silver, also called fine silver, is a beautifully lustrous cool-toned precious metal favored in fine jewelry among other products. The most reflective of all metals (excluding mercury), sterling silver looks stunning by itself and brings out the best hues in an array of colorful gemstones.
Sterling silver can be polished to a higher sheen than platinum. In fact, Ag, the chemical symbol for silver, comes from a word that means "white and shining." The surface of silver can boast that shiny, polished appearance, or can be brushed, satin, matte, sandblasted, antiqued or oxidized (chemically blackened).
In order to be called sterling silver, a metal must be made up of a minimum of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy (meaning other metals), including but not limited to copper and nickel. The alloy is added to pure silver to make the metal more durable, tougher and harder. Sterling silver is designated a fineness of "925." Pieces with sterling silver may be marked "sterling."
Finishes on Sterling Silver
Finishing, or plating, is a common treatment with sterling silver. Popular types of plating are rhodium plating, gold plating and anti-tarnish plating. Plating is used to extend the life and sheen of the jewelry. After sizing or buffing a piece of jewelry with a machine, it must be re-plated to restore the finish.
Caring for Sterling Silver
Sterling silver becomes tarnished as the result of a natural chemical process that occurs when sterling silver is exposed to chemicals in the air, rubber, wool and latex. Humidity also plays a role in accelerating tarnishing. It's easy to keep your sterling silver sparkling, though, by taking a few steps to prevent tarnish and other wear and tear.
Charoite was discovered in the Murun Mountains of Russia in 1978, and is still the only known location for this rare mineral. Its name is derived from the Charo River, which is near where the stone was found. Charoite has colors that range from bright lavender, violet and lilac to dark purple with white, gray and black veining. It is an unusual mineral with intriguing swirls and strands of fibrous material. With a hardness rating of 5.0-6.0 on the Mohs Scale, charoite is believed to enhance self-esteem and accelerate spiritual growth and the ability to love.

|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
12 weeks into the season, we finally have two #1 teams remaining the same from the previous week. The Heat are creating a bit of space while the Thunder have some tough competition at the top. The West is also producing some additional teams fighting for the last playoff spots, while the East is pretty set for the moment, even with Boston's struggles. What does all this mean for the teams in the playoff hunt? Let's look at what would happen if the playoffs started as of Wednesday, January 23, before the day's games:
The Rockets are spiraling downward, only a game ahead of Portland now. Oklahoma City is just way too good to fall to the kind of team the Rockets currently are.
The Jazz have won three straight, but the Spurs have won five. San Antonio is consistently one of the best teams in the NBA, and they don't appear ready to go home early in the postseason.
Los Angeles is down to #3 after two losses, but that doesn't mean Denver will have it easy. Los Angeles is still very good at home, and Denver is 9-15 on the road. Los Angeles still has the edge, but they'll likely wear themselves out against Denver either way.
Memphis is still ahead by a game, but they just can't shake Golden State. And the Grizzlies recently swung a deal with Cleveland to dump salary and get under the luxury tax mark. With the playoff race so close, this move might help keep Memphis' core together, but they won't get much of anywhere if they don't have enough depth to rest their core now and then.
All of a sudden, Boston has lost four straight. There's no way Miami will let them get way with that.
Milwaukee may have won three in a row, but all three wins have been against severely struggling teams. That helps cushion the blow of New York's own struggles, but Milwaukee can't be completely dismissed. If New York gets into a good routine, they should be able to pull off the win, but Milwaukee will force a much longer series than the Knicks would like.
Atlanta is trying to recover, but they're only half a game ahead of Milwaukee. The Pacers may have a losing road record, but they're still a much better team than Atlanta at this point in time.
Brooklyn has only lost once all month, but Chicago remains just half a game behind. At 12-5 on the road, Chicago actually has the NBA's best road record. And Derrick Rose is getting even closer to a return.

SBKB [doi:10.1038/sbkb.2012.153]
Featured Article - August 2013
Short description: Crystal structures of 5-HT receptors bound to antimigraine drugs offer insights into ligand specificity and signaling bias.
The neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)) signals through the 5-HT receptors, a family of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). In addition to signaling via canonical G protein pathways, GPCRs can signal via noncanonical pathways, frequently mediated via β-arrestin. These receptors are the targets for many drugs, including antimigraine medications, antipsychotics and antidepressants, but the use of many of these drugs is complicated by side effects caused by off-target interactions with 5-HT receptor subtypes and related biogenic amine receptors. Some drugs are also able to elicit biased signaling, preferentially activating canonical or noncanonical pathways (as opposed to activating both pathways equally).
To gain a better understanding of how serotonergic drugs are recognized by 5-HT receptors, Xu, Roth, Stevens and colleagues (PSI GPCR Network) determined the structures of the antimigraine drug ergotamine (ERG) bound to its primary target, the 5-HT1B receptor (PDB 4IAR), and to the 5-HT2B receptor (PDB 4IB4). They also obtained the structure of 5-HT1B in complex with dihydroergotamine (PDB 4IAQ).
The receptors are comprised of seven transmembrane (7TM) α-helices. The ligand-binding cavity in each receptor, formed by residues in helices III, V, VI and VII, is capped by the second extracellular loop (ECL2). The ergoline ring of ERG sits deep within the 7TM core in 5-HT1B and 5-HT2B, forming similar key interactions in a conserved orthosteric binding pocket in both receptors. 5-HT1B has a much broader extended binding pocket than that of 5-HT2B, due to sequence differences and an outward shift at the extracellular end of helix V. As a result, the phenyl group of the ERG cyclic tripeptide makes different interactions with and adopts distinct conformations within each of the receptors. Mutational and docking analyses reveal that interactions with the ergoline moiety of ERG and related compounds appear to be the driving force for binding. Indeed, these results explain how the hallucinogen lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), another ergoline, can interact promiscuously with 5-HT receptors. In contrast, triptans, antimigraine drugs that are 5-HT analogs, interact weakly with 5-HT2B because their specific shapes do not fit in the receptor's relatively small extended binding pocket.
The authors also show that LSD, ERG and other ergolines display biased signaling for β-arrestin at 5-HT2B, but are essentially unbiased at 5-HT1B. Examination of the ERG-bound crystal structures reveals that the P-I-F motif — Pro, Ile, and Phe residues found at the base of the ligand binding pocket— is in an active-like conformation in the 5-HT1B structure, but in an intermediate active one in the 5-HT2B structure. Investigation of the structural rearrangements induced on the cytoplasmic side of the receptors indicates that the 5-HT1B structure has features of an agonist-induced, activated receptor, with a shift in helix VI associated with G protein-coupled signaling. On the other hand, the 5-HT2B structure shows conformational changes in helix VII associated with β-arrestin signaling and only minor changes to helix VI, characteristics of both active and inactive states.
These findings provide a framework for understanding ligand specificity within GPCR subtypes and uncover the structural basis for signaling bias, and shall contribute to the rational development of drugs for this important receptor family.

well finally we got around to the diaries, but i am not upset that meowmy didn't do it sooner,She is very busy , but all of us are lucky to have her and the rest of the furmily.Well it has been fun being here with Casper and the girls.Alot better tha being an outsider!!!
I love waking up each day where it is warm going in eating and drinking then the fun begins!!!casper and I we run box each other and do play pretty as meowmy calls it, every once in a while i sneak into the utility room and get in the cage next to where Hobby sleeps, i try to reach thru the cage and play but she is so scared, i wuld like to see the mean kitty that made her scared, i would scare him!!!
Meowmy says in time she will play with us, i sure hope so , she looks so mich like Lovie and when we play with Lovie it is fun, well we will have to wait and see, well i am glad that they are back and i am also glad that we are here with meowmy and to have all our furiends on catster and dogster.And for all that are reading the girls diary or mine for the 1st time who might not know us we are Kikis furmily.he was a great kitty from what we hear.Have a pawesome day Sox
hi well where do i start at.my meowmy feeds the kitties outside ,so one day she came out to do her usual feeding and there I was.Sitting right in the wheelchair that Kiki always sat in.Meowmy immediately started talking to me and that went on for about 2 wks.And it was so nice when she started picking me up holding and loving me.
Well she came out 1 morning and seen I had a boo boo on my face,so she scoops me up in her arms and drags me into this big strange place,but it was nice.Then she starts looking poking and washing my boo boo.Well for 2 days we did that twice a day,until 1 day she picks me up and puts me in some sort of box type thing that i couldn't get out of.
Well that was the beginning of a very bad day.We go to this place that has all kinds of people running around with cats like me in the box like things.Then she left me,well the next thing I remember is waking up and not feeling quite ight.My ear was hurting Meowmy said it was because they Ear tipped me (whatever that is ) but worst of all my privates,they was sore,well meowmy goes on to tell me that I have been dewormed neutered de fleaed ear mite medicine,plus my abcess on my face is ok.
I don't know what all those things mean,but be very careful when you hear the word neuter,if you are a boy.And for you girls the word to hide from when said is spayed.Well after my long day,i looked forward to coming back and running around outside.
That did not happen,I arrived home and once I was set free ,I couldn't stand up,my back legs was wobbly.Meowmy said it was funny that i looked & acted drunk,from the medicines.After several hours i was able to stand again,but meowmy said I could not go out any for awhile.
After staying in for 3 or 4 days I went out and with some help, we was able to bring Miz Lovie Dovie in.So It is a wonderful life.meowmy and Chris say that I remind them alot of Kiki,so I can never go anywhere but here.ANd I don't want to ever leave here ,I am the luckiest cat in the world along with my other siblings.Now I have a forever home and I am A Catster Cat.Catster You Rock!!!! & SO DOES MEOWMY

Yak and Yeti takes home the gold at Great American Beer Festival
Two years ago, when Dol Bhattarai purchased an old, allegedly haunted house at 7803 Ralston Road in Arvada as the site for his second Yak and Yeti restaurant, it came equipped with brewing equipment: a holdover from the last occupant, a brewpub called the Cheshire Cat.
Instead of ripping the tanks out to make more room for fans of his Indian and Nepalese fare, Bhattarai decided to brew his own line of craft beer, which would be available only in his two restaurants.
The beer was one of the best things I found at Yak and Yeti when I reviewed the place in July. The dark bar at the Arvada location is usually packed with locals sipping these specialty ales.
But the fame of Yak and Yeti's beer now extends far outside Colorado. On Saturday, the brewer bested 84 producers in the Strong Pale Ale category at the Great American Beer Festival, taking home a gold medal for the Himalayan IPA. (The brewer also submitted the Chai Milk Stout, which didn't place.) Watch for more beer news from Colorado Beer Man Jonathan Shikes later this morning.

Change Coming to McDonald's Big Seller
Are McDonald's Happy Meals about to get less…happy?
That all depends on who you ask.
McDonald's tried out a pilot program last year that swapped out the traditional cheap plastic toy that every kid loves for…a book.
I'm all for improving and increasing literacy, but it's a HAPPY meal. Know what makes kids happy? Crappy toys!
The five-week promotion will hand out non-fiction books from DK Books' Amazing World series.
The catch? It's only happening in Britain. For now.
I'm not sure how I would feel about that happening here…I like the idea of giving out books, but we all know most kids wouldn't think of a book as a prize, and would feel like they missed out on something…then again, maybe that would help out the obesity epidemic by keeping them away from the not-food known as the Happy Meal.
(On that note: When I was a kid, I enjoyed the occasional gray lump known as the Chicken McNugget…and who can resist those fries? It was a rare treat. Healthy, no? Did I like it? Yes. And I don't think it was all that detrimental to my long-term health and well-being, but I digress.)
If we could get kids to think of books as fun though? Well that seems like a good deal to me.

Guitar Amps Output Transformer specs
Hi all,
I would like to resume some informations about output transformers (I will open another thread on power transformers too), because I've found someone near me that can build it way cheaper than usual, so I can try different solutions for the same bucks.
Here is something I've found by now:
Dagnall C1998 38x38mm EI M6 core:
- 16-0 ohm secondary (parallel): 120 turns x 0.76mm
- primary: 2 x 620 turns x 0.45mm
- 8-16 ohm secondary: 35 turns x 1.18mm
- 4-8 ohm secondary: 25 turns x 1.18mm
- 0-4 ohm secondary: 60 turns x 1.60mm
All lead diameters are measured including the insulation on it.
Dagnall C2668 on 38x40mm EI M6 core:
- 0-4 ohm secondary: 60 turns x 1.76mm AWG13
- 1/2 primary: 620 turns on four layers x 0.45mm AWG26
- 4-8-16 ohm secondary: 25+35 turns x 1.18mm AWG18
- 1/2 primary: 620 turns on four layers x 0.45mm AWG26
- 0-16 ohm parallel secondary: 120 turns on two layers x 0.75mm AWG21
Dagnall C3070 32x60mm EI M6 core:
- 1/4 primary: 310 turns on two layers x 0.45mm AWG26 (B+ to half A2)
- 0-2 ohm secondary: 40 turns x 1.76mm AWG13
- 1/2 primary: 620 turns on four layers x 0.45mm AWG26 (B+ to A1)
- 2-4 ohm secondary: 20 turns x 1.76mm AWG13
- 4-8 ohm secondary: 25 turns x 1.76mm AWG13
- 8-16 ohm secondary: 35 turns x 1.76mm AWG13
- 1/4 primary: 310 turns on two layers x 0.45mm AWG26 (half A2 to A2)
(not sure about that one)
Soldano SLO100 OT
is similar to C3070, except is 32x50mm and has an higher primary impedance.
Some uningegneristic impressions that need to be confirmed:
- M6 works like 6L6GC, stays cleaner up to a point where it starts to add more harmonics (like more NFB)
- M27 works like EL34, more vintage oriented, cruncier, better on saturation (like less NFB)
- M19 and M26 works like EL84, smoother and adds a bit more of a bassy (nice for EL84 too)
Then some very useful links:
Index of ../Transfos/Papers/
Some useful links:
EDCOR - M-6 Steel Lamination
Some useful links that need translation:
Transformator wyj?ciowy
Does anyone has some more info on Guitar Amps' OTs and on iron effect on sound?
Thank you all!

You guys; I mean it – I cannot make this shit up.
This morning, after shutting Jimmy down several times as he tried to do anything but the work the class was doing, he got up, grabbed the bathroom pass, and disappeared.
Now, to be fair, I give the kids a fair bit of leeway when it comes to bathroom breaks. This is due mostly to the fact that we only have two restrooms for both the school (which consists of 70-something kids) and several other businesses on our floor (one of which seems to be staffed by a bunch of crack heads, but that's a post for another time). I've had to wait more than five minutes to get into the ladies' room (and that's after banging on the door to try to encourage haste on the part of the occupant), so I don't give the kids too much grief for being longer out of the classroom than I would like.
Anyway, Jimmy was gone even longer than I'm willing to allow for (I started getting twitchy at about 10 minutes). I mean, we're responsible for the kids on our roster, and I'm not wild about the idea of a kid under my command wandering around unsupervised; if my boss comes and asks where So-and-So is, I like to be able to tell her, right? So, I fired off a text to the secretary and asked her if she could see Jimmy (her office is right by the bathrooms). She told me no, but also said that the men's room door was closed.
A few minutes later (we're up to about 15-20 minutes by now). I get this in my inbox. No lie:
this is jimmy. just so you know, and also so i don't have to announce it to the class when i get back, my stomach is killing me (cont.) which is why ive been in the bathroom for so long.
No shit, you guys; this moron emailed me from his phone, from the bathroom, to make an excuse about why he was gone so long.
If it didn't actually happen to me, I wouldn't believe it, either.

Idiotic, stupid and misinformed. Try driving east of Sheridan and there's a pot-head store on every corner. Time to update the agit-prop.
I don't have any problem with legal weed, but I think that the money figures are just blowing smoke. If grass is made legal, the price would drop to a small fraction of what it is now, so the $36 billion is bogus…
Is making hemp a legal product to produce even worth the time? The last year of available data from AAFC is 2007. The AAFC, (Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada) provides information, research and technology, policies and programs, and reports to parliament.
In 2007 (Canadian dollars), import and export of hemp:
Imported $530,162
Exported $3,454,149
That's $3 million total in exports! That's not the profit! Take out the cost of then seed, water, fertilizer, taxes, fuel, equipment and so on and so on.
But isn't hemp a slightly different plant in that you can make strong, long-lasting things like clothing and sails, but you can't smoke any of it?
HORSESHIT! 36 Billion? Are you frickin serious? That will run Obama's economy for about 5 days. America has 47,000,000 people on welfare. Fix that cost with your pot sales.
Legalization would stop the insanity of the Mexican cartels by taking away the profit motive. If we grow and tax it here why bother to smuggle it?
I believe mexican cartels move more cocaine than marihuana. If marihuana is legalized there's still meth, heroine… and american guns of course.
"No stems, no seeds that you don't need,
Acapulco Gold is badass weed."
I'm sure it's not coincidence that you picked 4/20 to post this.
That's what I was thinking as well.
Fucking Idiots. REMEMBER… 36 Billion won't change shit! Not the Terrorists Cartel and it won't help our debt.
Well, by that logic we should legalize all drugs … and maybe rocket launchers too.
"They can take my cold-fusion rocket launcher when they can pry it from my cold, dead, radioactive fingers."
HAHA Futurama reference…. Very nice
36 Billion won't change our debt?
Gawd help us then!
The national debt goes up $3.7 billion every day, 365 days a year…so the $20.9 billion in government revenue would only take care of our national debt for five and a half days.
For some medical conditions, I believe it is necessary. It should be classified the same as alcohol when applied to driving laws. Nobody wants to harm anyone in an accident.
Legalize it already, collect your taxes and be done with it. More idiots get hurt from booze. It's a plant, the sellers aren't drug dealers, they are gardeners.
Actually, these days most sellers are gangsters.
Arguing the economics is a fools game.
It's a relatively benign "vice", compared to alcohol and tobacco. The biggest benefits of legalization would be to allow more enforcement of the really bad (manufactured) drugs, freeing up courts/jails and lowering the violence/deaths associated with the marijuana trade.
Did anyone take these costs into their economic "calculations"?
This BC Bud is for you (and it ain't "lite").
That's coz the drug dealers (gangsters) are selling it coz it's Not legal. Make it legal.
I try to go herbal and healthy eating and living with everything I do now. Well except for beers. I like that once in a while. It's Friday! Anyways, when I asked the Doc for pot pills coz I couldn't sleep and I was cramping up again, he said no. He gave me a prescription for a sleeping pill that was a chemical and had a billion side effects, AND pitched me into a seizure. Just give me what works please. There's a lot of homegrown out there. I'd rather go natural.
By the way, I hope you know, that this is always MY opinion. 😉
I'm with you Bella, I used to partake in the green goodness myself before I had my surgery. They used to write me rxs for vicodin, percoset, and darvon, but nothing took the pain away like mother nature. Of course Texas does not recognize medical marijuana, so I was a criminal for trying to be pain free.
You're right Chick. When I had the big C, I had a prescription for it. Now they tell me no coz it becomes addictive. (and trust me, I would only take them when the nausea or cramping became too much)
I'm helping out a friend right now that was given Oxycontin (oxycodone) and she is so addicted. She had back surgery and it went from there. That sh!t ain't good for you, and she is a mess, a bad mess. Bring on the green. 😉
420 Day at Vancouver Art Gallery
The most powerful group that is against legalizing it has to be the group that likes things to remain the way they are: organized crime.
KISS, you hit the nail dead on. Mostly.
I will add, everyone in the police, legal, penal systems and "war on drugs department" also like it. Job security.
But the prison business relies on it being illegal.
I'm in favor of legalizing medical marijuana. I've heard people say it helps those going through cancer treatments, and I believe there are other problems out there that marijuana could help with. Just like there are medical reasons for other things that could be classified as narcotics. So legalize medical marijuana.
You're right Crispy. I heard a joke somewhere that if everyone smoked a joint at the same time in the whole world, that there would be world peace for at least 2 hours. LOL! Something to think aboot fer sure.

BULLS 92, NETS 90: Carlos Boozer had 29 points and 18 rebounds on Thursday, Nate Robinson made the go-ahead basket with 22 seconds left, and Chicago overcame a 16-point deficit to beat Brooklyn.
Jimmy Butler had 16 points and 10 rebounds, Luol Deng scored 18 points, and Robinson finished with 12 as the Bulls shook off the absences of five key players to keep Indiana from clinching the Central Division title they've won the last two years.
Deron Williams had 30 points and 10 assists for the Nets. Brook Lopez finished with 28 points, but he had a turnover and two misses in the final minute.
NUGGETS 95, MAVERICKS 94: Corey Brewer scored 23 points and got a hand on Anthony Morrow's last-second shot to preserve the Nuggets' 19th straight home win.
Andre Iguodala's layup with 2.8 seconds put Denver ahead in a game Dallas dominated.
The win was bittersweet, though. Denver's dreams of a deep playoff run might have taken a huge hit when they lost forward Danilo Gallinari to what looked like serious knee injury in the second quarter.
Brandan Wright scored 16 points to lead Dallas.
THUNDER 100, SPURS 88: Russell Westbrook scored 27 points, Kevin Durant had 25 and Oklahoma City seized control of the race for home-court advantage in the Western Conference playoffs.
Derek Fisher hit a season-high five 3-pointers and had 17 points, his most since joining the Thunder in late February, while fueling a big first-half run that put Oklahoma City ahead to stay.
Oklahoma City still trails San Antonio by a half-game in the standings, but pulled even in the loss column and would control the tiebreaker if both teams won out because of a better record against the West.
Kawhi Leonard and Tim Duncan each scored 24 points for the Spurs.

ABIT was one of the first companies to bring overclocking features to its entire range of motherboards. ABIT has always been at the forefront and was the first manufacturer to bring out a legacy free motherboard, and although it was never a huge success it was the first board in the MAX range. Since then, the following MAX boards have all offered something out of the ordinary, with more features than anyone could possibly take advantage of.
The AA8-DuraMAX is however, not quite as impressive as its ancestors as it doesn't seem to have any of the trade mark high-end features, nor the distinctive black look that once adorned the MAX boards. The most striking feature is the new chipset heatsink, which has the fan mounted on its side rather than on the top. This has been done not just to improve the cooling of the chipset, but it also blows air across the back of the graphics card and should help to cool this as well.
The AA8-DuraMAX has all of the standard features of the i925X chipset which means that you get four SATA ports with support for Matrix RAID and a single IDE connector, as ABIT hasn't fitted an extra IDE controller to the board. This could be a real issue if you're planning on upgrading your current PC and want to keep your hard drive.
There is of course support for Intel's 7.1-channel High Definition Audio and ABIT has added discrete outputs for all of the channels, all of which are part of the I/O panel on the back of the motherboard together with optical S/PDIF in and out. A Realtek Gigabit Ethernet controller is also included, but sadly this is connected to the PCI bus rather than to the much faster PCI Express bus - this will hinder the performance of the Gigabit Ethernet connection and add congestion to the PCI bus.
What is good to see is that ABIT has stuck with the post80 debug LCD, which makes it easy to locate any problems that you might be having with your motherboard. ABIT has also included its microGuru technology, which adds more advanced overclocking features and some neat applications that are standard with all microGuru boards.
In terms of expansion, ABIT provides one x16 PCI Express slot and three x1 slots, along with two standard PCI slots. The I/O panel consists of two PS/2 ports, a parallel port and a serial port, which is not in line with ABIT's past MAX boards, optical S/PDIF in and out, discrete 7.1-channel audio outputs, a line in and microphone connector. There are also four USB 2.0 ports here, a single FireWire port and an Ethernet connector. ABIT also supplies a bracket with a further two USB 2.0 ports and one six-pin and one four-pin FireWire connector.
This leaves one spare USB 2.0 header on the motherboard, which is handy if your case features front mounted USB connectors. There are five fan headers on the board, although one of them is taken up by the chipset cooler and another is the four-pin type for the new Intel CPU coolers.
In terms of layout, most things are where you would expect them to be, but the floppy drive connector is placed very far down on the board, below the bottom PCI slot, not exactly an ideal location. It is nice to see an angled IDE connector, as this allows for tidier cable routing in most ATX cases. The AA8-DuraMAX comes with four memory slots and supports up to 4GB of DDR2 SDRAM.
The supplied manuals are targeting the more technical users that already know how to assemble a PC, covering the BIOS settings in favour of how to install the motherboard. This is what we'd expect though, as ABIT has been the choice of the hardcore technical user for a while now. It's a shame that the manuals are still in black and white, as it is so much easier to navigate technical manuals in colour. There is also a separate manual for the microGuru applications.
The AA8 DuraMAX is slower than the Gigabyte, not by much I have to add, but enough to make a difference. But ABIT does have one plus point and that is the much lower price compared to the Gigabyte board. At £109.99 it is one of the cheapest i925X boards currently on sale.

An AppleTalk - On Thinking Different
Two years ago, Apple was in trouble. Its stock was plummeting. Consumers were flocking to the domain of Bill Gates. Business Week reported the creator of the Mac was in a certain-death spiral. Enter (for a command performance) Steve Jobs. Four straight profitable quarters, several technology announcements and the company is now the Wall Street Journal's most successful technology stock for 1998. Why? Because Apple "Thinks Different," of course!
"Think different," the latest ad campaign of the inventor of the Macintosh, symbolizes creativity, innovation and truth. The "Think Different" theme also taps into the core desire that burns in the hearts of every visionary man, woman and child for individual choices, total deliverance, unbridled conviction.
OK, let's not get carried away; it's just a series of commercials.
But Apple needed "Think Different" to be more than a soapbox. It had to be grand, it had to be moving and, above all else, it had to be memorable. Images of cultural icons—from Albert Einstein to Amelia Earhart—were called upon to convey a sense of devotion, commitment, duty and dedication.
It worked. Since the "Think Different" ad campaign started early last year, Apple has been riding high. Of course, technology played a part in Apple's upswing, as well. Two major pushes in 1998 locked Apple into a still-pioneering position for continued greatness into the year 2000.
Apple launched Mac OS 8.5, a major upgrade to the Macintosh operating system. Termed a "must-have" upgrade for Apple's design and publishing customers, Mac OS 8.5 includes significant advances in Internet search capabilities with its market-leading networking performance, advanced workflow automation and new Sherlock technology.
What's Sherlock?
Simply put, Sherlock is a new technology that allows users to search the Internet without using a browser and to conduct searches for documents on local hard drives based on their content.

Outside of those examples, though, the idea that anyone is losing freedoms in this country is foolishness.
Neo-soul singer Jill Scott has little time for "foolishness."
Washington lectures London on the foolishness of debating process instead of getting to grips with real problems?
That was the foolishness of my vision for my life—that my backup career would be completely undependable.
At the first glance I saw she had been punished for her foolishness.
Your foolishness ended yesterday with the return of Reggie Pollock.
My cruel fate pursued me—or was it punishment for my foolishness?
I—I know what that old negro says is all foolishness, but—there is something the matter with Mr. Michaelis.
I despise this foolishness as much as yo', but I can't run away from it.
But what was there to flatter the vanity in the belief of a proclamation which was foolishness to the Greeks?


text: Well after much deliberation I finally chose the HK45 over the FNP45. I really liked the feel of the HK over the FN, I am fairly big with extra large mitts and both guns felt great but I liked the HK more, a big part of my decision was also based on reviews from forums like this one. Basiclly the FN had too many FTF reports and people talking about selling them etc. While I found quite the opposite when it came to the HK, people really liked the HK and I must say their guns do have a great reputation. Anyway I know they are both great guns, I am happy with my purchase. I will report more after I actually shoot the gun.

How do I get a driver's license to drive for work during my suspension?
Record Review request form. Please ensure you put your CORRECT ADDRESS so you will receive all paperwork and letters. Also, mark the option for a record review for a Probationary license - not a hearing.
You must send in a written request and $15 for a record review. A review of your record will be conducted to determine if you are eligible for a probationary license. If you are eligible, the necessary forms will be sent to you to be completed. The forms must be returned as soon as possible, along with the $25 fee for a probationary driver's license to be issued. If the suspension is alcohol related, you will be required to get an alcohol counselor assessment before a probationary driver's license can be issued.
