Target/Fame; Ramey
He may be sharing the red carpet with Angelina Jolie to promote The Tourist, but Johnny Depp has been getting more than his fair share of attention for his sartorial choices during the film's world tour. The actor, who stepped out in two very different outfits on Dec. 16 for promotional events in Madrid, Spain, first got cameras flashing in a messy cowboy-inspired ensemble of head-to-toe denim and a pinstriped vest—complete with a fedora and scarf-like rags. Later that night, Depp cleaned up his act, hitting the red carpet in a dapper Polo Ralph Lauren charcoal glen plaid three-piece suit, which he accented with a red pocket square and bold framed glasses. And while Depp can pull off just about any style with his striking good looks and A-list charm, we can't decide which look we like better. Tell us: Do you prefer a funky daytime or dapper evening look for Johnny Depp? Vote in our poll below!—Jessie Goldberg

171g Champ Teebird (new)
175g Polaris LS (new)
178g Z Wasp (broken in but still fades)
165g Wizard/Chief? (dominess is almost beaten out)
163g Whitler (disc holder/touch shots)
I haven't been playing competitively for a minute but when I've gone out to the course I've been taking this set up. I've uncovered a nice surprise in that I can predictably throw my LS with a forehand. I'm not sure how long this will continue, though. It's a fairly new disc and yet it has this sweet turnover that's nice and gentle if I back off, but I can really crank into it and work that turn even more without having to throw it with an incredibly different angle. I figure that once I hit some more trees that I'll have to retire it but until it's broke, I'm not fixing it.
Anyway, what would y'uns recommend for a stable slower fairway driver? Cyclone for its versatility?
I think that ultimately I'll buy a stack of Eagle-Xs in various weights and plastics but I won't be doing that for quite a while. In the meantime, I'm curious as to what would fly similar, as well as beat in similarly, to an Eagle-X but is just slightly slower. I like Eagle-Xs for my forehand but think that they might be a bit much for my current backhand.
Thoughts, questions, comments, etc?

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." — Henry David Thoreau
When we learned that St. Francis Episcopal Day School just dedicated a new outdoor classroom and garden, we knew we had found a great topic for the Parker Blog. After all, when you think about what makes a healthy learning environment for kids, what better place to start than outdoors. Located on 15 acres in the Houston community of Piney Point Village, St. Francis is an 820-student private school serving ages 2 years through 8th grade. What we found in "The Woods," the Thoreau-inspired name that St. Francis has given their outdoor space, is much more than an outdoor garden. It is a classroom, a home for butterflies, a tree house, an art gallery, a worship center, and more. Before we get too far into the details, we should go back to the beginning.
In September 2008, Hurricane Ike made its mark on the city of Houston. An hour inland, St. Francis suffered some roof damage to the school and lost 13 large trees, mostly in an area that the school used for recreation purposes and overflow parking. As the school began the process of fixing the damage, staff members Debbie Harris and Carol Lee Nicosia began to envision creating an outdoor space that would do more than just replace the lost trees.
Harris, the school's Science Department Head and 7th Grade teacher and Nicosia, a Primary School teacher who holds a degree in Parks and Wildlife Management, successfully co-wrote and applied for a British Petroleum "A+ for Energy" grant. The grant enabled St. Francis to design an outdoor classroom and gardening area for the school. The school then approached private donors to cover the cost of bringing the plan to life.
Harris recently gave us a wonderful tour of the Woods, and we found her excitement to be infectious. Harris explained that she and Nicosia looked to The Arbor Day Foundation for the garden's inspiration. The Arbor Day Foundation has developed a program it calls Nature Explore that encourages schools to develop outdoor learning spaces for their students. The program is relatively new, with only about 60 schools nation-wide receiving certification from the program.
The Arbor Day Foundation website, www.arborday.org/explore, explains that they developed the Nature Explore program because "Educators and mental health professionals world-wide are becoming concerned that many of today's children are no longer able to spend unhurried hours exploring the natural world in the same ways that previous generations enjoyed. Research is showing that children need connections with the natural world as a regular part of their healthy growth and development." With that in mind, the program requires that schools meet three requirements in order to receive certification.
First, the school must show that it has created a well-designed outdoor space. St. Francis has met this requirement and then some. Dedicated on March 11 of this year, The Woods is made up of 90% native Texas plants and multiple areas with unique purposes. Some of the areas include the Awakening, which is a butterfly garden that is already a favorite spot for students on the hunt for caterpillars; the Treehouse, which is a free play area and quiet space; the Dig, a sandy area used for a variety of curriculum; and The Living Earth, which is an area for growing vegetables and herbs. The Woods also includes an outdoor art area, music area, and other learning spaces.
In addition to class time, Harris is excited about the opportunities the outdoor space will provide for students' personal growth. The school designed an area it calls Gods Drop into the garden. Students use this area for outdoor prayer and quiet times. Students can "drop" a rock or stone in front of the cross that marks the area after they have said their prayers. Harris also envisions using the Woods to serve others. The school already organizes canned food drives each year. Harris would like to grow enough fresh produce in the garden so that the students can donate fresh fruits and vegetables along with the canned goods.
The Arbor Day Foundation also requires that schools show evidence of staff development as it relates to nature education. Teachers in the St. Francis science department have already used the outdoor space as a backdrop for studying the life cycle of caterpillars and butterflies, meteorology, and plant life. Harris is now working in coordination with other departments to develop additional, non-science curriculum. For example, she would like to bury "treasure" somewhere in the Dig and use it as a fun way for the students to learn about map coordinates. Tree cookies, or the very base of the trees that have been lost from the hurricane or other causes, provide fun stepping-stones for students and a great opportunity to study circumference and other geometric concepts.
Finally, the Nature Explore program requires that not just students but also their families get involved. St. Francis is still working on this final component. Within the upcoming months, Harris plans to create a volunteer calendar so that one or more St. Francis families will adopt a month during the school year and then plan and implement an outside activity for the students and their families.
The entire team at St. Francis has done a terrific job fulfilling the goals of the Nature Explore program. They have created many beautiful ways for their students to explore, learn and make connections with the natural world. After spending an hour with Harris in The Woods, we felt excited for the students and faculty at St. Francis and motivated to spread the word about the program.
If you are interested in implementing a similar program at your school or would just like to learn more about The Arbor Day Foundation, please visit their website at www.arborday.org. If you would like more information about St. Francis Episcopal Day School, you may visit their website at http://www.sfedshouston.org. We do have one request. Once you have read up on St. Francis and the Nature Explore Program, please turn off your computer. If the visit to The Woods taught us anything, it is that we need to spend less time looking at TVs and computer screens and more time outside enjoying nature. Now go play.

Anyways nice to see someone break the record. I am sure Wiggins will keep topping it. someone will top 900ft but I am not sure if 1000 will be done.
What could a baseball pitcher with a 100 mph fastball do? What could a 7 foot tall power forward from basketball do? Until the sport attracts the best athletes aren't we just guessing?
Agreed. I wish Bubba Watson would drop the clubs and take up discs full time. With some exposure like that, we might be able to get the city to allow ball and disc on the same precious land in my lifetime.
Inner city kids throwing plastic aren't standing on the corner thinking about drive-bys. Several NBA starters from Memphis began with only a pair a hightops and a basketball. If they could afford golf clubs, a $100 golf bag, and $20 greens fees there would be a more diverse group of gentlemen on the greens.

Angels fly to top of Power Rankings
Division-rival A's unseated at No. 1 by Halos despite Richards' injury
The Angels are back on top in the American League West and find themselves looking down at every other team in the Major Leagues with five weeks remaining in the regular season.
That's right. Not only do the Halos have the best record in baseball, they've won seven of their last 10 games and are poised to overcome the loss of starter Garrett Richards to season-ending knee surgery.
The Angels lost the series to the A's over the weekend, but their offense is clicking. Mike Trout has the numbers to make him a top candidate for the AL MVP Award for the third year in a row despite striking out a career-high 144 times this season, and Josh Hamilton is 6-for-19 with eight RBIs since taking two days off to recover from a horrible slump.
Erick Aybar, Albert Pujols, Kole Calhoun and company are all doing their part.
But the race to the top of the AL West is far from over.
The Angels will host the A's for four games at Angel Stadium next week, and then return to Oakland for the second-to-last series of the season.
But can either team match up with the Nationals or the Dodgers? Are the Brewers the best team in baseball?
Don't forget about the Orioles, and don't sleep on the Mariners or Royals.
For the fourth consecutive season, MLB.com has set up a panel of experts to vote on the top 15 teams each week. The group includes MLB.com vice president and executive editor Carlton Thompson, executive editor Matthew Leach, columnists Mike Bauman, Hal Bodley, Anthony Castrovince, Richard Justice, Tracy Ringolsby, Phil Rogers and Lyle Spencer, along with reporters Alyson Footer and Jesse Sanchez.
What do you think? Agree or disagree? Have your opinion counted by submitting your Power Rankings.
1. Angels: The Halos will be without Richards for the remainder of the season because of a knee injury, but rumors of the club's demise have been greatly exaggerated. The AL West leaders finished their 10-game road trip with seven wins to push them 25 games above .500.
2. Athletics: The A's once had a stronghold on the top spot in the AL West, but they have seen better days. Closer Sean Doolittle hit the disabled list with a strained right intercostal, catcher John Jaso has concussion symptoms, and third baseman Josh Donaldson underwent an MRI on his left knee. Oakland has lost seven of its last 10 games.
3. Nationals: The Nats are playing up to expectations and once again emerging as one of the World Series favorites from the National League. Washington has won 12 of its last 13 games, which includes a 10-game winning streak that was snapped by San Francisco on Friday.
4. Orioles: It's a good time to be an O's fan. Yes, Sunday's loss to the Cubs shrunk their AL East lead to six games over the Yankees, but Baltimore lost just 1 1/2 games on its lead despite going 4-5 on the recent nine-game road trip. The Orioles are 34-26 at Camden Yards and have 21 of their next 27 games at home.
5. Dodgers: The Dodgers got good news Sunday with the return of Hanley Ramirez from the DL, and they hope to have some of their regulars back in the starting lineup and rotation as the season winds down. Kevin Correia and Roberto Hernandez can only serve as substitutes for Zack Greinke and Hyun-Jin Ryu for so long.
6. Mariners: Could this be the year Seattle returns to the playoffs? The Mariners have won 14 of their last 18 games to put themselves a season-best 13 games over .500 at 71-58 with a one-game lead over the Tigers in the chase for the AL's final Wild Card berth. Seattle has now equaled its 71-win total from last season with 33 games still remaining.
7. Brewers: The Brew Crew got another much-needed strong start from Mike Fiers -- 10 hits and four walks, with 32 strikeouts, allowed over four starts (28 innings) in place of the injured Matt Garza -- on Sunday to keep the Cardinals 1 1/2 games back in the NL Central and the Pirates at bay. This upcoming nine-game road trip will be critical in setting the tone before a crucial early September homestand against some of the NL's toughest teams.
8. Royals: As the offense has come along in the second half of the season, Kansas City has proven to be one of the most well-balanced teams in the league. The Royals are five games over .500 at home, 10 over on the road, have a better run differential (plus-35) than the powerful Tigers (plus-30) and are fourth in the AL in team ERA (3.55). Their upcoming homestand (against the Yankees, Twins, Indians and Rangers), much like the remainder of their schedule, is made up of teams largely out of playoff contention.
9. Tigers: Remarkably, after giving up 32 runs over their first two games against the Twins this weekend, Detroit bounced back to salvage a series split and stay within two games of the Royals in the AL Central. The Tigers' schedule down the stretch is considerably harder than Kansas City's, so they need to get clicking on all cylinders again to repeat as division champs.
10. Giants: San Francisco ran into a Washington buzzsaw this weekend against the white-hot Nationals, dropping to 4 1/2 games behind the Dodgers in the NL West. Now the Giants head back home -- where they're just 32-32 this season -- for an important stand against the Rockies and the first-place Brewers.
11. Cardinals: The Cards are playing with great energy as the crucial final month of the season approaches. The club had a chance to take over the top spot in the NL Central over the weekend, but Sunday's loss and Milwaukee's 4-3 win over Pittsburgh pushed the Cardinals back to 1 1/2 games behind the Brewers, while keeping the Pirates 3 1/2 behind the Redbirds. St. Louis still has a two-game NL Wild Card lead.
12. Braves: Atlanta has taken care of its own business, winning seven of its last 10 games, but the Braves' fate in the NL East may be out of their hands as the Nationals (winners of 12 of their last 13) continue to roll. With an eight-game deficit in the division, Atlanta may have to turn its attention to the NL Wild Card, where it trails the Giants by a game for the second spot.
13. Pirates: The Bucs fell five games behind the Brewers in the NL Central with Sunday's loss in Milwaukee, but they remain just 1 1/2 games out of the second NL Wild Card spot thanks to the Giants' loss to the Nationals. The good news? Andrew McCutchen capped his first week back from an avulsion rib fracture with home run in the ninth inning off Brewers closer Francisco Rodriguez.
14. Indians: The Tribe is pitching its way back into contention. Dating back to Aug. 9, Cleveland has won nine of 13 games, during which the team's rotation has turned in a 1.71 ERA mark with a .176 opponents' batting average and a 0.90 WHIP. What's more, the Indians have won three consecutive series wins and has won or split seven of their past eight series.
15. Yankees: Don't count out the Yanks yet. They completed a three-game sweep of the White Sox on Sunday to stay 3 1/2 games behind the Mariners for the second AL Wild Card spot. The Yankees are six games behind the first-place Orioles in the AL East standings as they embark on a seven-game swing against the Royals, Tigers and Blue Jays.

Term deposit interest rates have been on the slide for the past six months on expectations of lower interest rates. The Reserve Bank of Australia did not start cutting rates until November last year but markets had been anticipating lower interest rates for months. And markets believe the Reserve Bank will probably cut rates again at its board meeting next Tuesday.
Investors looking for a safe place to park their cash may want to move quickly and lock in higher rates before then, the chief executive of RateCity, Damian Smith, says. The highest rates are available on six-month and five-year terms at a little above 6 per cent.
Mark Bouris: Term deposits and the RBA
We've forgotten a few things about the RBA when it comes to savings accounts.
''I think rates will moderately decline over the next few months,'' Smith says.
He says many people will probably want to park their money for six months to see what happens with markets.
RateCity says for $25,000, UBank's interest rate of 6.11 per cent is the most competitive over six months and that Investec Bank Australia has the best rate of 6 per cent for a three-month term.
For one year, Lifeplan Funds Management's rate of 5.6 per cent is the best rate and for threeyears, the 6per cent on offer from the Arab Bank Australia is best (see table).
Non-banks pay more than the big banks, though the gap has closed, says the managing director of term-deposit broker The Term Deposit Shop, Grant Goodier. On 90-day term deposits, for example, Goodier says the interest margin between the major banks and the others has closed to 0.36 of a percentage point from 0.8 of a percentage point in August last year.
Goodier says there has been a similar contraction across all maturities. ''Despite that, you can still get better rates with the non-majors so it still pays to shop around,'' he says.
RateCity's Smith says customers of the big banks who have large amounts to invest and want to stay with their bank should negotiate for a higher rate than those advertised.
''Existing customers of one of the big four with six-figure sums to invest ... could almost certainly get a betterrate than the one advertised,'' Smith says.
All the term deposits in the tables are covered by the federal government's retail-deposit guarantee, where deposits of up to $250,000 a person per institution are protected.
For investors with large enough sums of cash to make it worthwhile, the best approach might be to stagger the month across various terms. Putting it into one term is attempting to time the market, Smith says.
He says savers who are new to term deposits should be very careful when the maturity date approaches.
Institutions automatically roll over the money into another term deposit with the same term if they do not hear from the investor.
The problem, Smith says, is the new term deposit might have a lower interest rate than is being offered to new investors or might not be as competitive as other institutions.

Who is David Brat?
The college economics professor is suddenly the tea party's newest star after toppling House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R., Va.) in a primary Tuesday. Mr. Brat's victory is the biggest House primary upset in generations – and wasn't predicted by anyone, including Mr. Brat.
"God acted through people on my behalf," Mr. Brat told Fox News during an interview Tuesday night. "It's an unbelievable miracle."[wsj-responsive-more-in tag="2014" category="" ]
And it's not like Mr. Brat had a lot of mortal help. National groups like the Club for Growth that aim to pick off Republicans who stray from strict party orthodoxy didn't get involved. Mr. Cantor outraised Mr. Brat $5.7 million to $231,000. The only national conservative figure to help Mr. Brat was talk radio host Laura Ingraham, who touted him on the air and hosted a rally for him last week.
Mr. Brat's victory, Ms. Ingraham said, was fueled by "fury with the GOP establishment on fiscal issues and immigration." He campaigned on opposing the 2008 government bailout program, the budget deal reached by Rep. Paul Ryan (R., Wis.) and Sen. Patty Murray (D., Wash.) and a general sense that leadership ignored the little people, she said.
"The lives of most Americans aren't getting any better year after year," Ms. Ingraham said. "Their wages are down or flat as the cost of living is going up. And for the past two years they've seen Eric Cantor focus an inordinate amount of time on how to improve the lives of illegal immigrants. So why should they be expected to return the same politicians back to Washington election after election? Eric Cantor was perceived as arrogant and disconnected–and voters thought it was time that he try to find a real job in this lousy economy."
Mr. Brat campaigned as a stark opponent of comprehensive immigration reform. To Fox, he couched his opposition to immigration reform as part of a broader theme accusing Mr. Cantor as being too allied with corporate interests.
"The issue is the Republican Party has been paying way too much attention to Wall Street and not enough attention to Main Street," Mr. Brat said.
Of immigration reform, he said: "It's the most symbolic issue that captures the difference between myself and Eric Cantor in this race but it also captures the fissures between Main Street and Wall Street."
Mr. Brat was so unknown that his Wikipedia entry was only two sentences before Tuesday night. Reached by phone before the Associated Press declared him the winner, Mr. Brat said only, "I'm going into the celebration party right now."
An economics professor at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Va., Mr. Brat appeared more interested in campaigning to make a point than in winning. The Washington Post reported last month that he no-showed meetings with key conservative activists in the capital. His excuse: He had final exams to grade.
Mr. Brat will face Democrat Jack Trammell, who is a professor and the director of disability support services at Randolph-Macon College, the same school where Mr. Brat teaches.
Mr. Cantor can't run as a third-party candidate. Virginia law forbids candidates who lose primary elections from appearing on the general election ballot. It is not immediately clear if he will mount a write-in campaign , as did Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R., Alaska) after losing a 2010 GOP Senate primary.
There are clues to Mr. Brat's ideology in his academic CV. His current book project is titled "Ethics as Leading Economic Indicator? What went Wrong? Notes on the Judeo-Christian Tradition and Human Reason."
His other published works include the titles "God and Advanced Mammon – Can Theological Types Handle Usury and Capitalism?" and "An Analysis of the Moral Foundations in Ayn Rand."

At COMPUTEX 2013, Sony announced their new Ultrabooks and Hybrid laptops. Introducing the VAIO 11 Pro, the VAIO 13 Pro Ultrabooks and the Hybrid VAIO Duo 13.
Sony VAIO 11 and VAIO 13 Pro
The VAIO 11 and VAIO 13 Ultrabooks by Sony aim to replace the well established VAIO Z series from 2012. Both laptops are incredibly light, tipping the scales at just 1.92 and 2.34 lbs only, making these two of the lightest Ultrabooks around. Much like the VAIO Z series, the body is made of carbon fiber casing (giving it durability while being light at the same time) and packs an aluminium palm rest as well. The display on both Ultrabooks are 1080p resolution and come with Sony's newest Triluminos color technology.
Battery packs for both models promise to extend battery life to about 14 hours on the VAIO 11 and 13 hours on the VAIO 13, effectively doubling the integrated battery capacity. Of course, these new models are subject to the usual yearly hardware upgrades. We fully expect to find Intel's latest Haswell processors ticking away at the heart of these new lean machines. The VAIO 13 display panel integrates a touchscreen as well, while the VAIO 11 may or may not include it.
The base model of the VAIO 11 and VAIO 13 Pro Ultrabooks will cost $1150 and $1250 respectively. Both laptops come in two flavors, Carbon Black and Carbon Silver. Sony's new Ultrabooks will go on sale starting 9th June.
Sony VAIO Duo 13 Hybrid
Alongside two new Ultrabooks, Sony also launched the successor to its ambitions VAIO Duo 11 hybrid Ultrabook/tablet. Say hello to the slightly larger VAIO Duo 13. Packing an updated "Surf Slider" design (check out the gallery to see it in action), the Duo 13 is almost the same size as the Duo 11 thanks to its thin bezels. The hybrid weighs in at 2.93 lbs and is also made of the same carbon fiber as the two Ultrabooks announced today.
The Duo 13 has a powerful 8 MP Exmor RS camera at the back, which Sony claims can act as a scanner using the pre-installed CamScanner app. Also included is NFC, which isn't a big surprise as Sony is openly pursuing to popularize this technology. You can fit the Duo 13 with SSDs and processors all the way up to Core i7 models, all based on Intel's Haswell microarchitecture of course. The VAIO Duo 13 base model will be available in Carbon Black and Carbon White for $1400.

Reviews of this property
This apartment was booked for our stay however we moved to a different apartment a little time later. Since we were there quite some time, I'll factor in all the positives and negatives in this review. HongKong apartments are small and designed to fit more people in lesser space, but we didn't expect this tiny of an apartment. It was the four of us in the apartment and we couldn't fit in the "family" room (it is not like we're giants). The house is equipped with basic necessities including: a washing machine, water heater, stove, Television and internet. The kitchen in the house was designed to fit just one person as it was compact after the washing machine and water heater was stationed in there. There was a 'Master' bedroom and a 'kids' bedroom that had a double bed and bunk beds respectively. The beds can't accommodate for a human that's taller than 6 feet, like myself. The bunks were decent in size. The sofa shown in the picture was exaggerated as it could, at maximum, seat 1.5 of a human. There's absolutely no space to stand in the bathroom as the toilet seat is placed right next to it. Overall the house was furnished with all the basic essentials, however there isn't sufficient space to place everything. That's the inside of the house.
The apartment was located on Floor 18 (i think, it was high up), right in front of the Ladies Market, which could prove to be noisy if you're staying in the lower floors. The house is within walking distance of MANY good restaurants and retailers too. (Make sure you bargain). The house is within 5 minute walking distance from Yau Ma Tei MTR Station which is pretty good as we used the trains everyday through our stay. The Rail Network in HongKong is beyond great, it wouldn't let you down, however, don't be disheartened if you dont find a seat. Overall, this house is situated at one of the best locations and it's highly recommended to book this apartment if you're only going to spend the nights, not otherwise.
The owner of the house are generally nice and they got us cheaper tickets to OceanPark.
Reviews for this host's other properties
Great location in Kowloon which is the real Hong Kong, place was small but that was ok, a lot of junk left in room as it had beds for many more people - washing machine was leaking when we arrived, host cleaned it up but let and it was still leaking , probably much better places to stay
Vermieter kam zum Ein- u. Auschecken jeweils über eine halbe Stunde zu spät....
Zimmer war sauber u. modernisiert, leider war keine Küche oder Waschmaschine gemäß Angebot vorhanden....
Der Preis war allerdings in Ordnung!
Perfekt für junge Leute, die im Prinzip nur eine günstige Unterkunft suchen.... ohne viel Schnickschnack!
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Kitty was being very helpful by finding us the apartment where we stayed .The apartment, for a family of 5 which we stayed in, was brilliantly located in the heart of yau ma tei, by being right outside across the underground station and close to alot of shops and restaurants. The apartment itself was fully equipped with household facilities and a strong free wifi. I would definitely stay here again next time as my stay was very pleasant.
You can't beat the location of this apartment - just minutes away from Mongkok station. In the evening you can wander in almost any direction and find good food and good shopping.
Will and Kitty were great hosts - very accommodating and welcoming. We would definitely stay here again in the future!
We book this unit as early as July of this year for October 27 on the morning of October 27 waiting for my flight to hongkong I checked my cell phone and to my surprise will messages me on October 26 around 11 pm and informed me that i will be transferred to a different location I felt i was cheated intentionally, he told me the occupants had an emergency and had to stay for couple of days well my point is that the occupants should be the one's to be transfered I paid for this unit precisely because of the location when we arrived at manming lane hk I preasured them to give us the unit and we were able to stay in the apartment but imagine the stress i have to go through I will never deal with them again very unprofessional.
Good stuff: 1). Host was friendly, responsive & helpful to some extent.
Location was great as it was 10-12 min walk to the MTR and next to the airport bus stand.
Some facts (I have most of the pic as proof)
a) The door mat was old, dusty and torn out in the middle.
b) one of the 2 sofa was so bad that they had to be covered with a cloth
c) The broken shower handle was never changed. You will have to take shower standing in 1 Sq Ft of area touching the toilet stuff. This is also because the shower was small. We have to move around rather than move the shower handle.
d) the biggest problem is the hot n cold water mix system. You have to balance your shower time between maneuvering your posting with the shower and mixing hot n cold water. There are two hot/cold water mix knobs which are to be constantly mixed to get warm water.
e) There were no towels given to us. I am 100% sure that the bed sheets were never washed.they are reused. I will request the owner to buy new bed and pillow sheets.
f) No one time cleaning shops or tolietteries are given
g) The Kitchen is disappointing: -> It seems they never changed the cooking utensils since the apartment started. They are all black and burnt. -> There are no serving spoon. -> One of the gas burner is bit of a struggle and i had complained about that. -> You will get one Sq ft if area to cook, wash dishes, Clean cloths in WM and the fridge. -> The kitchen water tap was never changed. You will get another round of shower because of the sudden water pressure from low to instant high. -> You will find used plastic spoons -> You will no dish washing liquid. They have put toilet left over soaps to be used for cleaning kitchen utensils. They will tell you to buy. -> The cleaning sponges are horribly used and reused. It is a reservoir of bacteria and germs.
g). The passage from the lift to the room will small leftover of dogs as there is one in the next door.
h) Beds: I am 5.9" and I had to sleep diagonally because of the bed length.
i) No Iron for your cloths.
j) They will not give you any thing as complementary. Not even one time drinking water.
I will not recommend anything but go by facts.
Overall satisfied with this, location, availability of loueur.Mais it was not the slot, much smaller and in worse condition than did glimpse the pictures.
Relatively quiet given its location (right ladies market).
For Westerners that we are the spaces are really small: we were a family of five, but behind us arrived from Asian to 7, it did not seem to bother them.
It is a question of organization and better we understand why they do not eat at home ...
Globalement satisfait de cette location,emplacement,disponibilité du loueur.Mais ce n'était pas le logement prévu,un peu plus petit et en moins bon état que le faisait entrevoir les photos.
Relativement calme au vu de son emplacement (en plein ladies market).
Pour les occidentaux que nous sommes les espaces sont vraiment restreints:nous étions une famille de cinq,mais derrière nous sont arrivés des asiatiques à 7,ça n'avait pas l'air de les gêner.
C'est une question d'organisation et on comprend mieux pourquoi ils ne mangent pas chez eux...
Very accomodating.thanks

Giants cut Abreu, boosting Adrianza, Hicks
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The Giants released infielder Tony Abreu on Sunday, moving rookie Ehire Adrianza and non-roster invitee Brandon Hicks closer to making the Opening Night roster.
Adrianza's batting only .205, and his spring total of three home runs is an anomaly. He's hit more than three only once in his eight previous professional seasons, when he clubbed six in 2011, three each with Class A Augusta and Class A Advanced San Jose. But his defense at second base and shortstop, his primary position, has ranged from smooth to electrifying. His skills could prove handy for a team that relies on pitching and defense as the Giants do.
Hicks simply has played himself into contention for a big league job. He's batting .421 with a .531 on-base percentage and an .842 slugging percentage. Manager Bruce Bochy did not divulge the nature of a conversation he had with Hicks on Sunday. But Hicks almost certainly will make the team if second baseman Marco Scutaro opens the season on the disabled list, which is looking likelier by the day. Scutaro participated in light baseball-related activities Sunday, though it wasn't known when he might try playing again. Scutaro's lone Cactus League appearance was a three-inning stint against the Angels last Monday.
Bochy dropped no hints regarding how the Giants might handle their final personnel moves.
"It's going to go down to the wire," he said.
The switch-hitting Abreu, who batted .268 in 53 games with the Giants last year, hit .179 in 16 Cactus League games while playing a team-high 60 1/3 innings at second base.
Combined with the demotions of relievers Dan Runzler and George Kontos to Minor League camp, Abreu's departure left the Giants' spring roster at 29, four above the season-opening limit.

Disclosures: Although I don't think it clouds my judgment about this device, I serve as on-air technology analyst for CBS News, do a daily segment for KCBS Radio in San Francisco and write occasionally for CNET News — all divisions of CBS, which is involved in litigation with Dish Network. Also, Dish Network loaned me a Hopper and provided access to service for the purpose of evaluating the technology and writing this review.
I spend a lot of time on planes but even the ones that have Internet access don't let you stream TV shows or movies from Netflix and other streaming services. Yet, as I winged my way to and from Canada this week, I was able to enjoy TV shows and movies transferred from my home digital video recorder to my iPad mini.
This is now possible thanks to the new Hopper with Sling from Dish Network. Like its predecessor the new Hopper is a digital video recorder (DVR) that lets you record, pause and fast forward TV shows and other content from Dish's satellite service. Previous Dish DVRs supported an optional Sling adapter that allows you to stream live or recorded programming from the DVR to Internet-connected PCs, Macs and mobile device anywhere in the world, but you needed a live and relatively fast Internet connection to watch the programs.
With the new Hopper, the Sling technology is built into the DVR and it includes the ability to transfer or copy the programs from the DVR to an iPad via your home's Wi-Fi network. Shows need to be encoded for transfer before you can move or copy them, and that process takes about as long as the show itself — about two hours for a two-hour movie, for example. However, you can encode while you record. The actual transfer process takes only a few minutes on a typical home Wi-Fi network.
Both the Hopper DVR and your iPad need to be on the same Wi-Fi network and you have to do the transfer from home — not over the Internet. But once the transfer is complete, you can watch the program on the iPad at any time, including when you have no Internet access.
The product works well and solves a real problem for anyone who wants to watch video while away from a high-speed Internet connection without having to pay to purchase or rent programs from iTunes or other download services.
In case you're wondering, the Hopper was so named for two and now three reasons. First, it allows you to have remote units around the house so programs can "hop" from room to room. The second feature (and the reason why major TV networks are suing Dish) is that there is a feature that lets you automatically "hop" over commercials from prime-time program and — now — it lets your programs "hop" from your DVR to your iPad.

new in shop
I'd say it's a good to problem to have when you've sold so much that you need to come up with something new just to have stock. Working on adding this and several others today. I've got to shoot while there still light, these short Winter days are brutal.

Good things come to those who wait. That age-old idiom never rang more true than with NECA's long-anticipated sixth series of Gears of War action figures. Over a year in getting to retail, this assortment of 7-inch scale figures pumps new life into the popular video game line with the addition of several all-new characters and incredible improvements made on an old one. Available at retail now priced at a SRP of $15 each, GOW 6 includes a retooled COG Soldier, a flail and shield-toting Mauler Boomer and a new Locust class: Kantus, and the Kantus High Priest, Skorge.
Introduced way back in Series 3, this version of the COG footsoldier features new and improved articulation, much like that seen on the COG Soldier in Series 5. The biggest change is in the legs where NECA has added useful new hinged/swivel thighs that allow the trooper to really bend and get into the action. The upper arms have some new joints as well, eliminating the sometimes awkward weapon gripping of the earlier figures. Overall, the new Series 6 COG Soldier is the way this figure was meant to be from the get-go - hyperarticulated and ready for battle. If you don't already own this Gears classic, now is the perfect time to do so. If you already own the original, you can NEVER have enough of these slick sci-fi soldiers in your collection. Armed with both a standard issue Lancer assault rifle and Gnasher shotgun, you also get more great gear for your figure arsenal.
We first saw this big fella in Series 5 with the Boomer, the Boomshot heavy weapons class of the Locust Horde. The Mauler is more of the awesome same, only instead of a Boomshot, the Mauler comes charging into combat with a newly sculpted snarling headsculpt, removable horned helmet, Boom Shield and flail! The helmet is a remarkable design and looks best kept on the Mauler's head. The option to take it off is there though, perfect if you want some different Mauler appearances in your Locust ranks. The flail is a brand new weapon featuring a flexible plastic chain. Unfortunately, the handle on devasting pummeling device is a tad too large for other figures to wield it. Just as well, you only see Maulers using it in the game. Lastly we come to the Boom Shield, the coolest new piece of gear to come into the series for a long time. While NECA had to abandon the spring-loaded feature to keep costs down, the device still looks amazing. To use it, the back of the shield features two soft plastic straps that wrap around the figure's arm and then tuck into two slots. I recommend using a pair of Tweezers to help push the straps in, especially on the Mauler's thicker limbs. Once attached, it stays on great, shielding your figure from enemy attack.
Fans will want to snag two of these bad boys just for the killer accessories - equip Marcus with the Boom Shield to hunker down for some extended Horde Mode action, or slap the helmet on one of your Boomshot Boomers for an amazing alternate look.
This is where the figure wave gets really interesting. Introducing an all-new, sculpted from the ground up character, the Kantus Priest. These unholy critters annoy the heck out of me in the game, reviving downed Locust soldiers and easily sidestepping incoming fire. I hate 'em, but I LOVE this new figure! Much like the Theron Guard from Series 2, the Kantus stars intricately sculpted soft plastic robes that add a lot of depth to the figure. Armed with the rarely seen Gorgon Pistol, the Kantus also awes with its lizard-like good looks: from its extended forked tongue, plated, bloody arms, all the way down to its reptilian clawed feet. The Kantus is an exciting new addition to the Gears of War figure family and I can't thank NECA enough for finally getting him (it?) out.
Known for getting the most out of each new figure body they develop, NECA takes their Kantus to the next level by turning him into a High Priest, Skorge! And what an incredible transformation it is. This Gears of War 2 villain really stands out from the Kantus with a totally different look. Gone is the tall unholy hat, replaced with a free flowing "dreadlocked" leather cap. The upper body is now mostly exposed, showing off the great sculpting work on the Kantus' bony torso. The robes now become a lengthy leather loincloth and Skorge's arms and legs bristle with menacing spiked armor pads. I mentioned that the Boom Shield was one of the coolest new pieces of Gears of War gear, but Skorge's Dual Chainsaw Staff runs a close second. NECA went all out on this weapon, allowing fans to use it fully connected (ala Darth Maul) or separated for single hand-to-hand combat. The staff actaully splits in two different ways: You can attach a handle to the end of each piece for two more uniform solo chainsaw weapons, or you can remove those handles to mimic the staff being cut in two; each tip realistically splintered. Now that's attention to detail!
Gears of War Series 6 marks the exciting return of some of the coolest sci-fi action figures produced. If you are a long time collector of this line, like myself, Series 6 is not to be missed. Newcomers have some major catching up to do, but there isn't a better place to start then with this wave. And just think, come this September the action starts fresh with Gears of War 3. New game, new figures. Lock 'n load and let the chainsawing (or bayoneting) fun begin.

The Quick-Lock EVO carrier is next generation of luggage carrier by SW-MOTECH. Same, great Quick-Lock design, with a more robust, tubular steel rack that has an even more narrow profile than the original sidecarrier! This carrier also features reinforced gussets where the arm joins the hoop for additional strength. The racks can be removed from the bike in less than 30 seconds without special tools by opening 3-4 quick-release fasteners on each side.
The black, powder-coated, tubular steel racks are compatible with luggage cases from GIVI (Monokey system), TraX ALU-BOX, Pelican, Micatech V2, Kappa, Shad, Hepco-Becker, Krauser, and more. Luggage-specific adapter kits are sold separately.
When the racks are removed, only 3-4 small mounting tabs remain visible on either side of the bike. These mounting tabs are almost invisible, preserving the original visual appearance and size of your motorcycle. Required luggage-specific adapter kits are sold separately. In addition, optional key locks are available to lock the racks to the bike, with the key unlocking a pair of special quick-release fasteners which secure the racks on each side.
- Removable side carrier to use with almost every established motorcycle case
- To mount and demount within seconds at barely visible fixing lugs, due to quick fasteners
- Adaptable to TraX, Givi/Kappa, Krauser, Hepco & Becker and Shad cases by seperately available SW-MOTECH Side Carrier Adapter Kits
- Made of oval tube, carefully constructed position close to the motorcycle
- Highly functional and firm
- Black powder-coated surface
- QUICK-LOCK EVO Side Carrier
- Mounting material
- Mounting instructions
- We advise the anti-theft protection optional key locks
NOTE: This product will require relocation of the rear turn signals during installation. All necessary brackets, along with additional wiring, are included in the kit.
Overall width with racks: 570mm (22.5 inches)
Note: Fastening Kits are not required to mount these sideracks to your motorcycle. The Quick-Lock kits are keyed so you can take them on and off and have them locked when they are on your bike. The Hardbolt Kit is used if you don't want to take your sideracks off at all, as they are 'hard bolted' to your bike.

The kit was complete, instructions are pretty good but not the best ever.
Mounted without problems. (Posted on 2015-12-22)
- Review by btd
- Powdercoated finish and welds looked pretty good and appear durable
- Utilizes factory mount locations
- Provides bike protection for the rear plastic shrouds and exhaust in the event of a tip over
- Poor fit, especially on the left side. After getting everything loosely assembled, I had to exert quite a bit of force to get the quick-lock pins to align for the left hand side. This took multiple attempts and some forcing, by hand, to get it to finally align well enough to get all 4 quick lock screws turned and set. I was quite disappointed by this alone, especially given the "German made" marketing angle. Given this is specifically made for this bike, I expected much better fit.
- The license plate holder needed some spacers and longer hardware to attach to the SW-Motech rear bracket, and this is not explained, nor are they provided, in the kit.
- Poor fit for one of the 4 bolts that attach the upper bracket to the factory mounts under the seat. 3 of the 4 fit fine, but one required some forward force on the bracket to get the bolt in. You can tell that the hole spacing is not as accurate as the factory grab handle that you remove, making one of the bolts difficult to get threaded. Again, expected a better fit for something made specifically for this bike.
- Seat does not fit back on when you've finished. The plastic tabs that slip under the metal "pins" (factory) at the rear interfere with the newly installed upper bracket. A little shaving of the plastic solves the problem but you shouldn't need to cut your brand new seat, when it fits fine with the factory grab handle bars installed, and this is not explained anywhere.
- The turn signals actually DO NOT need to be relocated. I wasted several hours relocating the signals, per the instructions, only to find out the side luggage racks do not even come close to interfering with the factory turn signal locations. This should be explained as an "option", perhaps for large metal boxes (which I do not plan to install).
- Turn signal relocation wiring is way too thick a gauge wire, making the fit inside the turn signal stalk poor, and making it very difficult to get the bulb housing back in. This also causes you to bend the terminals on the bulb socket to get everything squeezed back in. Completely unnecessary if the proper gauge wiring (same as factory) were provided. When I found out the signals DO NOT need to be relocated, I removed all of the large wiring and returned the stalk to the factory location, relieving the strain inside the bulb housing.
- Hardware provided is low grade metric 8.8 (equivalent to low US grade 5 "hardware store" material). For the price point, and the strength expected, metric grade 10.9 hardware should have been provided. It was discouraging to remove the nice factory BMW grade 10.9 Torx fasteners and replace it with this "hardware store" low grade 8.8 hex head hardware.
Given this is one of the only side rack luggage carrier options I found for this bike, I didn't have a lot of options, or else I would've returned it for something that fit better. I'm hoping it performs well going forward. The installation and fitment quality issues were very frustrating given the price point and the expectation that is set with the "German made" marketing. (Posted on 2015-01-09)
- Review by Chuck
The only problem with the installation was mounting the rear license plate bracket. The instructions did not seem to fit my 2013 BMW F800GS. I did figure out that there were hole in the license plate bracket that matched the SW-Motech bracket but the instructions showed using a different set of holes in the F800Gs bracket.
The SW-Motech racks are much stronger than the Givi racks and work very well with the Givi side cases. If you have or are getting a F800GS and plan on getting the Givi side cases I highly recommend getting the SW-Motech Quick-Lock Sidecarrier. (Posted on 2014-12-09)

Back in July of 2005 when we announced The Voyage, I had a ball that morning posting all sorts of quick notes on the HoliBlog. But this year won't be so easy, given how far the site is from my office.
So the first to find out "what's new" on Tuesday will be our loyal "followers" on Twitter.

Re: Sensitive: End stage
Hey, Tommy. Talk about wonderful Dads and Husbands, you are right at the top. Tommy, I believe even though you have a lot of help it is a mental tiredness you have and no one can help that. It is really important that you get your sleep at night. I am so very sorry to hear Judy is at that point. Is she in any pain and if so is it pretty much under control? How are the girls doing? You have no idea what a good dad you have been, I can read between the lines and you will see for yourself when the girls become your greatest comfort. Please let us know how Judy is doing as you go along. I think writing on this Board can eb so cathartic. I think I told you I am originally from KCMO. Not sure how far that is from Elmo. Tommy, stay strong as that will give Judy the confidence that you will be able to do what ever is necessary with the girls. Prayers and hugs coming your way.

I am a retired "hands-on" science teacher who has many creations in the Chico State Hands-on Lab and Gateway Science Museum as well as classrooms around this part of the state.
For the last four months I have been trying to find a teacher or teachers who will take, keep and use several items I have made and have at home. Having contacted several people with influence in Glenn and Butte counties, I have received no inquiries. These are devices that allow and encourage students to do such things as discover their reaction time, range of vision, measure tree height, visualize probability and more.
I have put together a loose-leaf binder of more than 100 pages of hands-on activities that are open to being copied. Having students doing these kinds of productive activities in class beats talking to them or looking at a screen any day. If you or someone you know wishes to contact me, I am in the Glenn County phone book.

Grading TNA's Booking of Every Roster Member Part 2
by, 02-16-2013 at 08:06 PM (5594 Views)
Madison Rayne-Madison is talented but right now is at the bottom of the Knockouts division. Story with Earl Hebner went nowhere except to introduce Taryn Terrell and she hasn't been involved in much since. Tag team with Gail Kim might be picking up. Again, TNA's lack of commitment to the women (remember, you're not WWE, the women draw) being a cause. She should be seen more.
Score: 2/10
Magnus-Guy is a beast and a good power wrestler. Seems okay on the mic but has no real gimmick except "Hey! I'm British!" That doesn't work. I did like his feud with Samoa Joe but it's disappointing to see his character not progress in any way. Could be a main eventer if they get him a better persona. At least they put him over on the UK Tour which was smart.
Score: 4/10
Matt Morgan-Morgan is one of those guys you don't have to fake anything with. He looks like he can beat anyone. Good wrestler but hasn't gotten to show it much since he's been back. I liked him taking Hogan's cape from Wrestlemania 3. So he comes back wanting to impress Hogan and he goes out there and squashes people with the carbon footprint either during or after their matches and crushes Doug Williams in a match of his own....but then gets beaten by Chavo and Hernandez twice and disappears. Argh! They better have future plans for this guy.
Score: 2/10
Mickie James-Would take me a long time to get tired of seeing her wrestle especially against Gail Kim. Great babyface knockout with a country gimmick that works and a great theme song. I was glad to see her rise to the top of the division but then not get the payoff with winning the title. She does deserve a run in the future though. Right now unfortunately not doing much.
Score: 6/10
Mike Knox-Wait who? Oh right that guy who got unmasked in Aces and Eights and we were supposed to care about knowing who it was but didn't at all. At least Garett Bischoff and Wes Brisco got some mic time after being unmasked to explain themselves. Haven't seen anything impressive from this guy in the ring and given no reason to care by the writing staff.
Score: 1/10
Mike Tenay-Always excellent at presenting history between two guys on commentary and what matches mean to each of them but he needs to get amped up about the bigger moves more. That was something Don West was great at bringing out of Tenay and while he's no Jim Ross he still does a fairly good job.
Score: 7/10
Miss Tessmacher-Was not a good wrestler when she started out and she has really improved. I like her entrance and theme music. Not sure how I feel about the lesbian moves and her version of the stink face but at least they get a crowd reaction. Thought her feud with Tara should have ended in a much bigger fashion and it was just kind of another match. Somewhat disappointing. Still seeing some of her but again not doing too much.
Score: 5/10
Mr. Anderson-His microphone thing still works but it shouldn't be his ONLY thing. Feel like his addition to Aces and Eights was because they had nothing else for him to do. Has not done anything too memorable lately although feuding with Angle was looking promising. Really bothered me that his decision to join Aces and Eights never was something he officially agree to he was just kind of like oh well I like this, so yeah I guess. Should have been something like attacking one of the good guys to solidify him as his decision to join the group.
Score: 3/10
ODB-I like her with EY but she's been a jobber with nothing to do while waiting for him to come back. Strange when she is one of the champions in TNA. She is someone who I think is due for a character change after doing the same thing for so long. I get that not everyone can be at the top of a division but that doesn't mean they have to always lose.
Score: 1/10
Rob Terry-Still not quite there on the wrestling but Bigger Rob's got a good look. Also, not a good or at least confident talker. I admit I laughed when he won the Bro Off between Jessie and Robbie E it was fun to see Robbie T with some character. Looks like they are doing a jealousy story between the Robbies so he's in the middle of a character transition. Waiting to see where it goes.
Score: 5/10
Rob Van Dam-Seriously, has RVD EVER done anything differently? Same moves, same hand gestures, no gimmick. It works and I do like his moveset even though he's very often not clean. Harder to get a really good match out of him these days. I'm fine with him being X Division champ but can't he please get into a feud where he acts like he cares?? Really needs a good feud with something based outside of just the wrestling aspect in my mind. Someone making something personal would be big.
Score: 4/10
Robbie E-As far as wrestling goes he seems like he's too anxious a lot of the time. Just watch one of his matches and how he moves about and you should see what I mean. He can talk although he doesn't have much that is interesting to say. The Jersey Shore gimmick is fine and I enjoy watching The List but feel like he should be able to do better. Weirdly rare that he competes in tag matches with Robbie T for two guys attached at the hip. I guess since he isn't all that great I'm fine with where TNA have put him.
Score: 7/10
Rockstar Spud-Judging on limited evidence but Spud can go. Not only that but he has natural charisma along with a great entrance and seems like he can talk too. Very, very stupid to have his Impact debut to be interrupted by the Robbies, throwing one punch to Robbie E, and putting Rob Terry's hands in a "let's rock" position. Why not a match after that?! Guy could be huge in the X Division but I hate how he debuted.
Score: 2/10
Samoa Joe-Great in the ring and good on the mic, it's almost impossible to book Joe correctly unless he's in the main event scene. Another guy being held down with his involvement in the Aces and Eights storyline while not having a specific feud with anyone in particular. At least he's on TV.
Score: 4/10
Sting-Very badly needs to add some moves to his offense in the ring. It's all punches, Stinger splash, and Scorpion Death Drop. Was really hoping for big things in his return maybe a return to the old crow gimmick but he came back with the same Insane Icon thing which does not work so well. His charisma carries him almost completely these days. It's fine for him to be involved with the Aces and Eights and in the background of the Hogan drama but wrong for him to look so dominant.
Score: 1/10
Tara-Acting like a needy celebrity A lister does not play to her strengths but she's had a good run as a heel Knockouts Champ and I like all the stuff she does in her entrance with Jessie. Obviously still a very talented wrestler. Very silly when she's name dropping hanging out with Brad and Angelina or whoever else but I guess it fits the gimmick. A longer feud with someone, again not based on the wrestling, could do her wonders.
Score: 7/10
Taz-Joined Aces and Eights and has been working as a mostly heel commentator. Surprisingly not only crediting the bad guys however like most heel commentators do and still says his wacky Tazisms. Disappointing he will never get his comeuppance like what happens to the best heel managers. He's also been mostly annoying in his bickering with Todd Keneley.
Score: 4/10
Todd Keneley-Has fit in seamlessly into the commentating group and I think been a good addition. Taz has given him a really hard time and the three of them need to work on who talks when so they don't interrupt each other. Still needs to get more excited but his play by play has added to the show like every good commentator should.
Score: 8/10
Velvet Sky-Came back and looked good in the ring. She doesn't have much of a gimmick except shaking her booty (not that I'm complaining about that part). She is also lacking on the mic and very repetitive. She keeps repeating how she is more focused than ever and how 2013 is going to be her year. I also don't think her finisher is over. Again, as I've said for most of the women, she needs a real feud and not just compete in matches to have matches. Does deserve a turn at the top of the Knockouts ladder so I don't mind her being pushed there.
Score: 7/10
Wes Brisco-I liked how Wes was brought in through Angle and then competed on Gut Check, which was one of the better Gut Check segments even though it was completely scripted. Haven't seen too much of him in the ring but so far looks promising. I think they could do a cool story with him acting like a privileged brat because of his lineage but maybe that's just me. Another wait and see what they do with him guy.
Score: 4/10
Zema Ion-Really underrated as a wrestler. Fluid, high flying, and plays cocky very well. I like his Z hand motion he makes and think the hair spray thing makes him stand out even if it's a bit silly. Not a great talker but not bad either. Very disappointed that the storyline of him breaking people's bodies never went anywhere because that submission finisher of his looked sick. Seemed to fall off the face of the Earth for a month after he lost the X Division title but looks like he is back and about to start a feud. Needs some sort of catchphrase to get himself over more but can't deny his wrestling ability.
Score: 7/10
Hope I got everyone. Let me know in the comments who you agree/disagree with.
For emphasis, I am repeating this....this is NOT a grade of how good a wrestler is it, this is a grade of how well TNA has used the wrestler based on how good they are. Keep that in mind!

Jim Kollias stands on the conductor's dais barking queues and signaling time changes to the 80 juniors and seniors that make up Beckman's top chamber orchestra. Dozens of violin bows rise and fall in perfect unison, their horse-haired staffs jabbing the humid practice room.
In less than two months, this talented group of youngsters will be at Carnegie Hall, where they will perform pieces by Tchaikovsky and John Williams.
"I can't stress how difficult this music is," Jim Kollias said during his free period. "We aren't playing arrangements. We play the same music as the LA Philharmonic… That's why we're one of the best kept secrets in Tustin."
Kollias has taken his orchestra to Carnegie Hall three times already, but that doesn't mean the magic of the place has worn off for this jovial instructor.
"There's nothing like being in Carnegie Hall," Kollias said, citing the superb acoustics and history that "just oozes out of the walls."
Kollias attributes Beckman's success to the individual talents of its students, flexible scheduling, and an army of volunteers and supportive parents.
He schedules chamber orchestra for zero period because it is the time of day when the kids are least distracted. Marching band is sixth period so that students can go directly to their sports practice afterward. (About a third of the Beckman's musicians are also involved in the school's athletics programs.)
The students also tend to have demanding academic schedules, which is why Kollias doesn't force concert band students to play for the marching band, a common practice at other schools.
The size of Beckman's instrumental music program has tripled to 450 students since Kollias arrived in 2004. But Kollias insists that involved parents are the school's foundation.
Many Beckman parents instill in their children a love for music at an early age, Kollias said, which ensures a constant flow of talented freshmen into his ensembles.
They also tend to have deeper pockets which allows them to pay for private tutors — and trips to Carnegie Hall.
"The parents donate a lot of money around here," Kollias said. "Without that we're sunk."
Beckman High School instrumental music program
Three Orchestras – 180 students.
Marching Band – 150 students.
Concert Band – 80 students.
Jazz Band – 40 students.
The top orchestra has gone to Carnegie Hall in 2007, 2009, and 2011 and is performing again April 10.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - It's been more than a decade since the maize and blue battled it out on the hard wood in the Final Four.
The last University of Michigan men's basketball team to make the semi-final round of the NCAA basketball tournament was best known as the Fab Five. The Fab Five was the nickname for the 1991 recruitment class. It consisted of Detroit native Chris Webber and Jalen Rose, Chicago native Juwan Howard and Texas high school basketball stars Jimmy King and Ray Jackson. The Fab Five era was the last time Michigan played in the Final Four.
The Fab Five are considered the greatest freshmen class in college basketball history. In 1992, the y became the first all-freshman starting five to reach the Final Four. They beat Cincinnati 76-72 to reach the tournament final, but lost to Duke in the final game, 71-51. They returned the Final Four again in 1993 as sophomores, and defeated Kentucky 81-78 to reach the final game. The Fab Five lost to North Carolina in the final game, 77-71.
Both of those final four berths were vacated after a scandal involving Chris Webber accepting money from a booster. The banners from the 1992 and 1993 Final Fours no longer hang at Crisler Arena.

Pot Roast with Sweet and Sour Tomato Sauce
3 - 4 lb. boneless chuck roast, trimmed well
2 tsp. olive oil
steak rub, to season meat (I used homemade Montreal Steak Seasoning; use an approved seasoning for Paleo or Whole 30)
black pepper, to season meat
Sauce Ingredients:
1 T onion powder (or use 1/2 of an onion that's finely chopped if you don't mind a chunkier sauce)
1 T garlic powder (or use 2 T minced garlic if you don't mind a chunkier sauce)
2 T ginger puree (in a jar, also called ground ginger)
2 T Stevia in the Raw granulated (or sweetener of your choice)
1/4 cup rice vinegar (not seasoned vinegar which has sugar)
1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes with juice (or use diced tomatoes if you don't mind a chunkier sauce)
2 T soy sauce (or use coconut aminos for Paleo)
1 tsp. anchovy paste, optional
While meat browns, combine onion powder, garlic powder, ginger puree, Stevia Granulated (or sweetener of your choice), rice vinegar, tomatoes, soy sauce, and anchovy paste (if using) in food processor. Process several minutes with steel blade until tomatoes are pureed and ingredients are well combined.
Put the pureed sauce into the frying pan where you browned the meat and simmer on low heat until the sauce thickens; you should be able to draw a spoon through it and have the sauce stay together like shown in the photo. Once it's thickened to that point, pour sauce mixture over the meat in the slow cooker.
Cook on low 7-8 hours (or more) or on high for 3-4 hours, or until meat is very tender. (If I'm home I usually turn it a couple of times, but it's not necessary.) Remove meat from slow cooker and keep warm. Skim off any visible fat from sauce mixture if needed, or use a fat separator. Slice the pieces of roast as needed and serve hot, with sauce spooned over meat.

On the male point of view:
When interviewing school-based advocates in Maine to learn what their experiences held for best practices, and what would they do with a magic wand, a woman named Angel offered a true north for the play: "I hate to say this but I am female, so when I open my mouth in front of groups of students I can just see the boys tune out." Angel pointed to a void of male voices speaking up against violence. Her remark made it clear to me that this one-person, multi-character play I was trying to imagine would need to be male characters.
I interviewed advocates in Maine and around the US who had something to say about dating violence and sexual assault prevention efforts in high schools and colleges. The pool of men doing the work was fairly small at the time, and all to whom I reached out to returned my calls, read drafts, and talked through what they saw as challenges, opportunities, and successes.
As my friend Norma Bowles of Fringe Benefits Theatre in Los Angeles, California said in a workshop she gave at and Association of Theatre in Higher Education conference in the early 2000's, the goal was to reach the 'mass in the middle' and activate them as allies. Most men are not perpetrators; most perpetrators are men. I wanted to create a series of characters with whom most men and boys could relate.
In the Australian version of "You the Man" Officer Friendly" (which was a joking reference to the DARE campaign) is now Constable Friend. One of my favorite lines of his is a good summation of the movement's agreement of cultivating empathy as a prevention and intervention strategy: " Not one of us, myself included, needs to wait for something terrible to happen before we act like we care."

Miyamoto on A Link to the Past sequel, F-Zero Wii U
In a recent interview with Edge, Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto discussed his thoughts on both The Legend of Zelda and F-Zero. Regarding Zelda, he spoke about A Link to the Past, the classic SNES title that delivered one of the most compelling fantasy experiences of the 16-bit generation.
Miyamoto touched on a 3DS remake of A Link to the Past, but he said if it was up to him, he'd much rather have a brand new Zelda game based around the world of the iconic SNES cart. "I think the answer would be the same if we're talking about just porting, but I think I'd be even more interested in creating something new maybe based on, or starting from, A Link To The Past," said the gaming industry icon. "I think it's important to bring some really new software."
Shiggy hasn't been at the forefront of a lot of Nintendo projects as of late, and he has since taken on a mentor role with newer developers. And while Miyamoto certainly believes that these designers are all great assets to Nintendo, he feels that some would be more suited to create a 3DS remake of A Link to the Past, while a select few would be a better pick for designing a follow-up to the game.
When asked about F-Zero, which we haven't seen much of over the last few years, Miyamoto said that the series was created during a time when Nintendo wanted to surprise its fans. These days, he doesn't know that it could really be used as a device for wowing gamers. That said, he didn't rule out the possibility of a Wii U version. "But maybe with future hardware, with Wii U coming up, maybe we could create something that does make sense, either as a smaller game, or a fully fledged title."
Some intriguing comments from Miyamoto. I think a lot of gamers would love a direct sequel to A Link to the Past. As far as F-Zero is concerned, while it may not surprise gamers like it did during the SNES era, I still think fans would react positively to a new entry in the futuristic racing franchise. Nintendo, make both of these things happen.

If you look at the NVIDIA GTC Registration page you'll see mention of an upcoming Kepler GPU that has 7 Billion transistors! Could this be the long lost GK110 GPU, which is "The Big Kahuna" when it comes to this architecture? The NVIDIA GeForce GTX680 uses the GK104 GPU and has 3.54 Billion transistors, so get ready for a monster! Rumors of a GeForce GTX 690 video card have been floating around, so if the yields are good and the info on the GTC Registration page is correct, we could be seeing a new flagship card from NVIDIA next month! This is good news for NVIDIA fans, but how much will this sucker cost? Do you think this one will be priced over $800?
S0642: In this talk, individuals from the GPU architecture and CUDA software groups will dive into the features of the compute architecture for "Kepler" – NVIDIA's new 7-billion transistor GPU. From the reorganized processing cores with new instructions and processing capabilities, to an improved memory system with faster atomic processing and low-overhead ECC, we will explore how the Kepler GPU achieves world leading performance and efficiency, and how it enables wholly new types of parallel problems to be solved.
