Honestly? I would want the Broncos. The narrative and hype for that game would be absolutely insane.
Roster moves today are...interesting. We signed Deion Branch, apparently
Ya that's a brain-picking signing.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
Yeah, I've always wondered why Deion Branch lives here. I mean it's a nice city and all, but it's a bit bizarre that a multi-millionaire athlete with no ties to the city would choose to live here. It's like how the HOF baseball player Tony Gwynn lived (still lives?) in Fishers.
Fascinating. Moala and Toler to IR as well.
Take me out to the black, tell 'em I ain't coming back. Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.
Pats should bring in Bob Sanders
Probably, though...still take him over DHB?
Toler should have been on IR since the middle of the season if he was never right.
im guessing he never really was.
Counting down the days untill DJ Augustin's contract expires.
Well they have Austin Collie don't they?
I didn't know Branch lived here I thought he lived in Louisville.
Pats just IR'ed LB Brandon Spikes. That helps.
So the Colts added 2 WRs to the active roster. Branch and Lenz. Did we need 2 WRs? I know DHB pulled up lame again, but so far he's still on the roster.
Tony Gwynn was an Indiana Pacers season ticket-holder, and he helped the WNBA Indiana Fever's inaugural ticket drive seven years ago. Gwynn retired with more than 3,100 career hits in 20 years with the San Diego Padres. He moved his family to the northern Indianapolis suburb of Fishers in 1993 and still has a home there and in California, where he's the coach at his alma mater, San Diego State.
Gwynn decided to become a Hoosier after he accompanied his wife, Alicia, to Indianapolis with her church group. Instead of sitting in their hotel room, he toured the city and decided it was somewhere he wanted to live.
Nothing strange about that. He likes the place.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
Yeah, it's just not every day that you see multi-millionaire athletes randomly choosing to live in Indy.
Here's some info on Josh Lenz. I wonder if he can KR or PR. From Aaron Wilson via Rotoworld.
Lenz (5-foot-11 1/4, 201) was not invited to the Combine, but put himself on the draft radar with forty times of 4.36 and 4.37 at the ISU Pro Day. He added a 38.5-inch vertical and 10-foot-1 broad jump. Lenz was not a productive collegiate, but could parlay a year or two on the practice squad into a bigger opportunity because of his god-given tools.

Colts agree with WR Deion Branch
By Mike Wells
INDIANAPOLIS -- The Colts have signed former New England Patriots receiver Deion Branch just days before the teams meet in the AFC divisional round.
The Colts agreed to terms with the 34-year-old Branch on Monday to bolster a receiving group that's dealing with injuries. Branch first worked out for the Colts in December.
"We have a pool of guys in case you have injuries," coach Chuck Pagano said. "Deion was one of the guys we worked out. He's a local guy who lives in Carmel, [Ind.], he's in great shape, had a great workout and obviously he's a proven guy and played at a high level for a long time in this league. With him being right here in our backyard and us having some familiarity with him from just working him out, it just made sense to bring him on board at this point."
Branch spent seven seasons with New England, including being named the MVP of Super Bowl XXXIX. Branch last played in 2012, when he caught 16 passes for 145 yards in 10 games with the Patriots. He played in one career game against New England, in 2008 while with the Seattle Seahawks. He caught four passes for 88 yards and two touchdowns in a 24-21 Patriots victory.
"We figured the questions were going to come up that we were signing this guy who spent some time in New England," Pagano said. "Is it just a coincidence or do you need the guy to help you win a football game and help your team? Every decision we make is based on what's best for this team and what gives us the best chance to win, and we think we have one heck of a football player."
Wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey, the Colts' fifth receiver, will miss Saturday's game against the Patriots with a hamstring injury.
In other roster moves Monday, the Colts elevated receiver Josh Lenz from the practice squad to the active roster and placed defensive end Fili Moala and cornerback Greg Toler on injured reserve.
Moala missed Saturday's playoff game against Kansas City with a knee injury, and Toler aggravated the groin injury that caused him to miss seven games earlier this season.
Take me out to the black, tell 'em I ain't coming back. Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.
Pats 31
Colts 9
Would love to be wrong.
Obviously hosting. It shouldn't even be a question. It's an easier game and a home game. Screw Peyton.
This is a very close matchup. Both teams have bad defenses. Both teams have young, promising WR's. Both teams have great QB's. The one area where we have an advantage is RB. Donald Brown is the best RB in this game
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
I don't mind this prediction. If you want to beat Luck, you better blow him out
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
Luck will have to do a much better job taking care of the ball. It is one thing to turnover the ball against a Alex Smith lead team and it is entirely different when it is lead by Tom Brady.
I think this will be another shootout and it will really come down to who has the ball last wins.
Colts: 38
Pats: 35
Adam beats the Pats on a last second field goal.
Head ref: Pete Morelli.
claim to fame:
least likely to call "coverage penalties", which includes defensive holding, illegal contact and defensive pass interference, than any crew in the league. Also calls the fewest offensive holding penalties
His crew gained some attention when it called an almost unheard-of 2 penalties, total, in the Texans-Patriots game:
Tempering this is that the league no longer advances full officiating crews to the playoffs, but at least three members of each regular-season crew will work together now (explained in the last link)
bottom line: expect a "let 'em play" approach
so... good, bad, or neither?
The new Chuck Pagano Colts are far less of a speed/finesse bunch than the old Colts, I know, who were a little vulnerable to a slow whistle. The Patriots arguably now have the much more smurfy receivers, more easily re-directed by contact than in the past, especially when they had a 2 tight end base offense.
Aqib Talib may be the most physical corner on the field, though, so that can work the other way and help the Patriots if it's a loosely called game.
On the whole it's probably not a big deal. It is kind of odd seeing the wide disparity in frequency of some calls with respect to different crews, however. I'd expect differences, but when one crew makes a certain call 5 time more often than another crew, some aspect of their training must be way off.

The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!).
Should be interesting then. No doubt the Patriots will be really good at pressing our receivers and will probably get by with numerous non holding calls. Of course our O-line is terrible so the trade-off of our guys holding and keeping Luck from getting killed is well worth it.
You know how hippos are made out to be sweet and silly, like big cows, but are actually extremely dangerous and can kill you with stunning brutality? The Pacers are the NBA's hippos....Matt Moore CBS Sports....

Back improved, Hardy available for Orioles
NEW YORK -- J.J. Hardy, who has missed four of the past five games with nagging back spasms, was "a lot better" on Tuesday, according to Buck Showalter. The Orioles' manager said the shortstop would be available against the Yankees off the bench.
"He's much more available," Showalter said of Hardy. "I'm optimistic that he will be an option today. [We will] see how the rest of the day goes. But I would have said that [Monday]."
Gamesmanship aside, the Orioles are optimistic Hardy will avoid the disabled list and return to the starting lineup in the next day or two. Without Hardy and third baseman Manny Machado, who is recovering from left knee surgery in October, Showalter has employed an infield that includes Ryan Flaherty, Jonathan Schoop and Steve Lombardozzi, leaving no infielders on the bench and limiting his in-game moves. Hardy was not available for Baltimore during Monday's 4-2 loss to New York.
"[Hardy is] improved," Showalter said. "[He's] very close to being ready to start. Hopefully, he'll give us more options than we had yesterday. We'll see by game time. You can tell by his face [that he's feeling better], so that's good."

Some prominent philanthropists in the business world have rallied in support of convicted inside trader Rajat Gupta.
Microsoft Corp. Chairman Bill Gates and former United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan are among the individuals who recently wrote letters to U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff asking him to be fair when he sentences former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. board member and head of McKinsey & Co. Rajat Gupta later this month.
In June, a jury convicted Gupta of inside trading for passing confidential Goldman Sachs financial information to Galleon Group hedge fund co-founder Raj Rajaratnam, who was sentenced to 11 years in prison last October for inside trading. However, the jury found him not guilty of sharing confidential financial information about Procter & Gamble Co., where he also was a board member.
Gupta has a history of involvement in philanthropy, and others in the humanitarian world are asking Rakoff to consider his good deeds when sentencing him.
In his letter to Rakoff, Gates wrote that "many millions of people are leading better lives—or are alive at all" because of Gupta's involvement in the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
Similarly, Annan urges Rakoff in his letter to "recognize Rajat for the good he has done in the world, to give him the credit that he deserves for helping others and to take into account his efforts to improve the lives of millions of people."
Gupta's wife, Anita, also wrote a letter to Rakoff in which she laments the fact that the judge put a limit on what the jury could hear about her husband's philanthropic activity. "I know I have to accept the decision of the jury but I cannot but feel that who my husband is and what he stands for did not fully come out at the trial," she wrote.
According to Thomson Reuters, Gupta faces a maximum sentence of 25 years. Rakoff is scheduled to sentence Gupta on Oct. 24.

Honorable Speaker Ethuro, Honorable Governors, Honorable Members of Parliament and the Senate, Honorable Members of the East African Legislative Assembly, Honorable Assembly Speakers and Members, Government Officials, and members of civil society.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is an honor to be here with you today. As a representative of one member of the community of democracies, I am grateful for the opportunity to engage with you to discuss and compare notes on how to advance good governance. It is most certainly an evolving practice and one that gains by shared experiences.
The U.S. Government is strongly committed to advancing democracy, good governance and inclusive leadership in Africa. A growing number of African leaders have come to power through peaceful and credible elections. Increasingly, these leaders are supporting each other and looking out for their neighbors. Africa's progress on improving governance is critical for its future. The United States has welcomed the opportunity to help support this progress. This afternoon, I would like to say a few words about two subjects. First, the US commitment to Africa. And second, the importance of good governance and how we are partnering with Africans to improve it.
At the outset, I want to underscore that the United States is committed to a strong, deep, and enduring partnership with Africa. Africa is important to the United States, and indeed the world. The continent matters and the world is paying attention. For the United States, Africa has been particularly significant. Many of our citizens, including our President, trace their heritage to Africa.
President Obama, during his recent visit to the continent, underscored the importance of our relations. He highlighted many aspects of our partnerhship and the progress Africa is making on such challenges as strengthening transparent and inclusive governance. The President announced plans to build on existing relations with Africa through three new initiatives: Power Africa, to mobilize investment to deliver electric power to more Africans; Trade Africa, to expand economic ties and trade among Africa, the United States and other markets; and the Young African Leaders Initiative, to bring young leaders forward, train them and prepare them for service to their countries. These new initiatives complement the investments the American people have already made in programs to strengthen health care, agriculture, education and security, among others.
The U.S. Government is also supporting such programs as the Partnership for Growth, which has brought together African leaders and the international community to identify and address key constraints to development. The U.S. African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) offers tangible incentives for African countries to continue their efforts to open their economies, build free markets, and benefit from greater access to American consumers. Building upon the success of AGOA, here in this region, the United States announced in October 2012 a Trade and Investment Partnership with the East African Community. Together with our African partners, we invest in young people, support improvements in health, work to strengthen education systems, encourage trade and investment, and broadly to deepen the connections between the countries on the continent and the United States.
But the United States is not simply a provider of trade, aid, and advice. We believe in good governance and, across the continent, we have provided support to improve it. We have helped to build strong electoral commissions, strengthen internal accounting and auditing systems, and create anti-corruption watchdog agencies. We have worked with civil society, supported freedom of expression and the media, and encouraged citizen participation in government decision-making. In all of this, we have worked in partnership with Africans.
The challenge, of course, is how to improve governance. It is a challenge that every country, including the United States, faces. A few weeks ago, right here in Mombasa, I had the privilege to speak with Kenya's new county governors. In my address, I emphasized four lessons the United States has learned from its own 230 year experience of federal-state-local government. First, generally, smaller government is better government. The public sector really should only take on jobs that the private sector cannot or will not do. Once the government does take on a task, the efficient, effective, honest delivery of goods and services is paramount. Second, when deciding which level of government takes on a particular job, it is wise to choose the one that can both get the job done and is closest to the people. Local governments are often more responsive to local priorities and preferences, and better able to adapt programs to unique local circumstances. Third, governments must establish the rule of law as well as ensuring opportunities remain open to all citizens. Finally, in making these decisions, citizens must consider how to pay for the choices they make.
Making statements about good governance, however, is easy. Putting them into practice is not. Nonetheless, making the right decisions on governance is essential to Africa's future. For good governance and economic growth are inextricably linked. Together, they are the keys to a nation's stability, the well-being of its people, and to prosperity. That is why support for democracy and governance is an integral part of the US support for development in Africa. We offer support in a variety of ways. In Kenya, for example, we assist the National Assembly and the Commission for Implementation of the Constitution in the work they do. In Liberia, the U.S. government helps civil society organizations expand their role from delivering services to engaging in governance and policymaking processes. We are also working in places like Sudan and Zimbabwe to empower civil society, and amplify the voice of the average citizen, so that they can build a brighter future. In other countries, we have other programs, but always with the same goal: strong, effective governance.
Forging a common vision on good governance is, I believe, important to improving it. A common vision about governance contributes to stability, security, and prosperity. In Kenya, that vision is embodied in the 2010 Constitution and a document called Vision 2030. Together, they are the foundation for transformational change in governance in Kenya. Together, they will help ensure the rule of law, establish strong local government, and promote the well-being of all Kenyans.
To forge a common vision, it is essential to involve everyone in a society… men and women, businesspeople, civil society, the old and the young, everyone who has a stake. But while everyone matters, with an eye to the future, I would suggest that it is particularly important to engage the young. It is the young, of course, who will inherit what we do now and who will lead in the future. Too often, they are disconnected from society, have little say in decisions, and too little hope for the future. Here in Kenya, the US government has supported young people through the "Yes, Youth Can" program. Across the country, a million young Kenyans have created parliaments or bunges focused on economic empowerment and ensuring their collective voice is heard. The bunges are giving Kenya's young a larger say in their own lives. A program I mentioned earlier, the Young African Leaders Initiative, or YALI, will also invest in the next generation of African leaders. These two programs and many others across the continent can help ensure Africa's young have an opportunity to help shape Africa's future.
In summary, we know that it takes time to build a strong democracy and good governance. Along the way, there will be problems and setbacks. It requires constant commitment and hard work. Yet democracy and good governance will do more for a country's future than any aid program. The improvements Africa has already made have begun to yield results. Further progress will truly unlock Africa's potential. I hope that the time and ideas you shared here this week will assist you in making concrete and practical progress. Please know that the United States is proud to partner with you and your countries in the effort to build democracy and strong governance. Together, I know we will create a better future for both Africans and Americans.
Thank you.

AARON FINCH started his county cricket career by helping Yorkshire Vikings claim their first win of the NatWest T20 Blast competition with a convincing eight-wicket victory over Derbyshire Falcons at Headingley.
The world's number one T20 international batsman, who has replaced Kane Williamson while he is absent on New Zealand's tour of West Indies as Yorkshire's overseas player, hit just 19 runs off 17 balls but helped his new employers race to victory with six overs remaining.
It was a gentle introduction to England's version of domestic T20 cricket for Finch, who has only just returned from playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League, after Yorkshire's attack restricted Derbyshire to a modest 127-6.
Such was the low target that Finch did not need to display his explosive batting skills, which first came to prominence last summer when he hit 14 sixes for Australia during an innings of 156 against England at the Rosebowl.
He gave a brief demonstration of his ability by hitting his third ball for a straight six down the ground off Wes Durston, but was out-scored by a brilliant innings of 61 off 44 balls by Alex Lees that included four fours in a row off Mark Turner.
Such was Lees' domination of Derbyshire's attack, that was weakened by the loss of Tony Palladino and Tim Groenewald from their line-up after they were delayed by traffic on the M1 and arrived too late to be named in the team, that Finch did not face his tenth ball until the seventh over.
He was eventually out in the ninth over when he hit an attempted drive down the ground off Marcus North high in the air, to allow his fellow Australian a return catch, after hitting a four and a six in his brief innings.
But Lees carried on after Finch's dismissal to hit nine fours, while York's Jonny Bairstow hit a quickfire 29 off 16 balls, as Yorkshire raced to their emphatic victory.
Derbyshire's innings was undermined virtually from the start and they never really recovered from Stephen Moore being run out from cover by Oliver Robinson in the fourth over.
After racing to 28 without loss in three overs, they stuttered after Moore's dismissal and hit only 11 fours in the whole of their innings, with Yorkshire even being able to afford a sloppy performance in the field.
York's Jack Leaning was the biggest culprit, dropping four catches – one off his own bowling and three in the deep – while Liam Plunkett also missed a catch yet Derbyshire's top scorer was captain Wayne Madsen's unbeaten 34 off 34 balls.
Leaning has been included in Yorkshire's squad for their championship match at Northampton, which starts at noon, as they attempt to bounce back from their disappointing draw against Lancashire earlier this week.
He joins 18-year-old seamer Josh Shaw, an England under-19 international, in the 12-man squad. Ryan Sidebottom will travel down with Yorkshire for treatment on the left hamstring strain he sustained during the Roses match, but is expected to be replaced by Steve Patterson in the starting line-up.
Yorkshire squad (v Northamptonshire): A Gale (capt), A Lees, A Lyth, A Finch, J Bairstow (wkt), J Leaning, A Rashid, L Plunkett, R Pyrah, J Brooks, S Patterson, J Shaw.
* Yorkshire have been granted planning permission to erect permanent floodlights at Headingley by Leeds City Council. It is hoped they will be installed for the start of next season.
* Stamford Bridge all-rounder Will Rhodes will line-up for Yorkshire Second XI on his home Low Catton Road ground against Warwickshire next week.
The White Rose second string host their Bears counterparts on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, from 11am each day.

I'll read all of the trades when they come out. The Adam Strange mini (with the AWESOME Pazquel art) led directly into Rann-Thangar, so I'm for sure going to pick it up.Originally Posted by SteelSD
While I thought both MARVELS and KINGDOM COME were awesome, Ross just doesn't do it for me anymore. I'm not sure why either.And if you get a chance to pick up Alex Ross' "Justice" mini, it's a great new take on some of the vintage DC villians (Riddler actually looks like a bad man). Fun stuff and, as always, great Alex Ross painted art.

SAN FRANCISCO — Calm down. It was only one game. Just one.
It was not proof positive that Colin Kaepernick is the 49ers' long-term quarterbacking answer.
But he is definitely no longer a question.
Kaepernick, who was drafted in 2011 and has sat behind Alex Smith for his first season and a half, started his first NFL game Monday night because of Smith's concussion a week earlier.
You might say Kaepernick passed the audition as a prime-time player.
And you might say that his head coach, Jim Harbaugh, implied that Kaepernick will therefore be in line for some Sunday afternoon action very soon.
In a near-perfect first half, the second-round pick from Nevada threw a touchdown pass and led three other 49ers scoring drives on the way to a 20-0 lead over a Chicago Bears defense that was statistically awesome and full of alleged blue meanies.
Then, in the second half, Kaepernick steered the 49ers on two more scoring drives and threw another TD pass as they completed their 32-7 squash job on the Bears.
How impressive was Kaepernick's performance? Impressive enough to legitimize a debate over whether he should be the 49ers' full-time starter. Kaepernick's arm looked stronger than Smith's. Kaepernick's accuracy was probably more consistent than Smith's. Kaepernick's decision-making was as good as Smith's. Kaepernick's tattoos were certainly far more awesome than Smith's.
Harbaugh, in his postgame media session, was therefore asked if all of that had been enough to promote Kaepernick to the position of No. 1 quarterback.
"We'll see," Harbaugh said. "I usually tend to go with the guy who's got the hot hand. And we've got two quarterbacks that have got a hot hand. Thought Colin did an outstanding job. Thought he did a great job."
So let the debate begin. But do not read too much into Harbaugh's remarks. Knowing the way that he operates, the last thing he will ever do is proclaim Kaepernick as the unambiguous new No. 1 quarterback.
For one thing, Harbaugh will want to keep the New Orleans Saints guessing in the lead-up to Sunday's game at the Superdome. For another, Smith's injury might keep him out a while longer, anyway.
But after Monday night, we can be pretty sure of this: If Smith does return to his starting job, he will be on a much shorter leash if he gets off to a bad first half.
That said, as convincing as Monday night was for Kaepernick, he still must be evaluated on several levels. Chicago kept stacking its front seven defenders against the run, giving Kaepernick more space to find his receivers. Also, whereas the 49ers defense played one of its best games and tenderized Chicago quarterback Jason Campbell into a lump of painful flesh, the Bears defense was often mentally absent.
None of this should diminish the many fine passes of Kaepernick, so numerous that it was hard to pinpoint the one you'd put a gold star beside.
Was it the sweet 22-yard throw Kaepernick made to tight end Vernon Davis on the game's first drive on a hard-to-execute sideline pattern?
Was it the beauty of a 57-yard pass to Kyle Williams on the second offensive drive, with the ball spiraling so perfectly that it induced weeping among season ticket holders in the stands wearing Joe Montana jerseys?
Was it the perfectly timed touchdown throw on the very next play to Davis for six points?
Was it the patience Kaepernick showed on his 10-yard third quarter touchdown pass, when he bought time by moving out of the pocket and waited for receiver Michael Crabtree to clear coverage before finding open space in the end zone?
Yes, yes, yes. And yes.
All of this must warm Harbaugh's now-regular heartbeat, knowing he possesses two good quarterbacking options as he ponders which man to play. Smith has certainly shown he can win games on the big stage. His performance in the playoff victory over New Orleans last season gives him some real capital in the starting-quarterback bank.
Also keep in mind that Kaepernick has had his first two stretches of extended 49ers action — during a relief appearance in the tie game against St. Louis on Nov. 11 and during Monday's victory over Chicago — in front of the friendly voices at Candlestick Park. Pro football talent evaluators say you can never know for sure about an NFL quarterback's poise until he ventures into an opposing stadium for a crucial game, with vile noise filling his helmet ear holes and pressure on his shoulders.
Of course, Sunday's game at New Orleans might give Kaepernick a shot at proving he can handle the vileness. So stay tuned for that potential test. You'd have to say that the way Kaepernick handled the pop quiz against the Bears is a good sign. He took most of the practice reps over the weekend and was told by Harbaugh on Sunday night that he would start, even though Smith wasn't officially ruled out by doctors until Monday morning.
But we all know when Monday's events will truly matter: in the offseason. Smith signed a three-year, $24 million deal last summer. But the contract gives the 49ers an option to release him before April 1 after paying him basically just $9 million for the first year of the agreement.
So. If Smith comes back but has an iffy December and January … and if the 49ers believe that the Kaepernick they saw Monday is the one who will show up for the next five to 10 years … and if team management thinks the money allocated to Smith can be better spent on other positions …
So in that sense, perhaps this was indeed a little more than one game. It is a game that, because Kaepernick pulled himself alongside Smith in Harbaugh's mind, will resonate through the rest of the season and into the winter. Nothing wrong with that. Two guys named Montana and Young handled the creative tension of competition quite well.
It's little wonder why, as the 49ers dominated Monday's game with Kaepernick making his big statement, there was the creeping feeling that we have all been here before.

Works with LakeMaster SD maps (not included)
iTrack lets you store and retrace your path
Spot-Lock keeps you within 5' of a fishing spot
Wireless remote with full-color LCD screen
Compatible with all PowerDrive V2 Trolling Motors
The amazing new i-Pilot uses GPS technology to remember paths and fishing spots on the water, activate cruise control, and give you command of speed, steering, and Advanced AutoPilot. This i-Pilot Link System is compatible with all models of PowerDrive V2 and replaces the PowerDrive V2 foot pedal.
i-Pilot Link works with the LakeMaster SD card in your Humminbird Fishfinder (not included) to automatically keep you fishing at a certain depth or follow any contour in either direction. You can automatically follow any LakeMaster depth contour you choose or cast to it from a set distance with Contour Offset. Spot-Lock helps keep you within 5' of a fishing spot, like an electronic anchor. When your boat begins to drift more than 5' from your selected fishing spot, i-Pilot Link will take you back automatically.
iTracks keep track of paths in the water up to 2 miles long, allowing you to store and retrace whenever you want. Advanced AutoPilot when used with the i-Pilot Link keeps you on course with unparalleled GPS accuracy by compensating for wind, waves, current, and side drift. Just set a heading by pointing the motor head in the direction you want to travel, push a button, and let i-Pilot Link keep you on that heading. You can also store Spot-Locks, Waypoints, and iTracks either on the fishfinder or internally in the i-Pilot Link control head.

COUN Bob Wright is urging Swindon Council to take action to try and prevent future crashes at a town centre accident hot spot.
Last weekend a car smashed into the doorstep of a home in Curtis Street after misjudging the road's junction with Crombey Street.
It is the second car in three months to do so.
But Coun Wright says the problem is not with the junction itself but with an unusual number of accidents related to drink-driving around the area.
He says the council is in the process of discussing what can be done to minmise the number of accidents along the road.
He said: "It's not so much of a problem with the junction as much as a problem with drink-driving.
"There isn't anything wrong with the road itself.
"The Highways Department are looking to re-paint the markings on the road in the hope that it will remind drivers of the junction's layout."
A Swindon Council spokesman confirmed that the council is looking into what can be done to help prevent future accidents.
He said: "We are currently looking at ways of improving the traffic management along Crombey Street and we will certainly include this junction in that work to see if there are any measures we can introduce to slow traffic down and change the behaviour of motorists to provide some peace of mind for residents in Curtis Street."
But residents and Coun Wright agree that refreshing the road markings may not improve the issue. They say they would like to see a physical barrier put in place to prevent future damage.
Coun Wright said: "What it needs is something to absorb the vehicle when it happens.
"On the motorway you have a sandpit or the crash barrier which stops you going across the road.
"There needs to be something similar along Curtis Street."
John Brennan, who lives in the street, also thinks the council needs to install barriers to prevent further damage to people's properties. He said: "I have lived here all my life and since 1995 this has happened more than 11 times. Some people have installed steel bars behind their walls but that's not going to hold it.
"It's because they come around that junction too quickly, and take the curve too quickly and either there's a mechanical fault and it crashes into a wall or their reactions are impaired.
"But one of these days there will be a pedestrian walking along the pavement when it happens and someone will be killed.
"It's a busy junction with traffic piling along that road. When that development at Regent Circus is finished there will be cars along there non-stop."

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.—For a brief flash, the world under Trent Richardson's feet again felt familiar. He was stiff-arming opponents, dragging piles, and when an opening parted like a crowd at midnight, Richardson dashed through for a touchdown that sent him whirling back in time.
Steelers always a threat behind Ben Roethlisberger's playmaking
Oh yes, this is how it used to be. In another lifetime, on what seems like a foreign planet, scoring came almost as easily as breathing. He owned nearly every record at Alabama, a place where victories graced most every weekend in the fall, and the two national championships Richardson won with the Crimson Tide seemed a harbinger of all the hardware yet to come.
But lately his star had dimmed, his new team young and earnest but still hopelessly winless. For the first time ever, football could seem like a chore. Then came Sunday in the Meadowlands, the New York Giants off to yet another infuriatingly listless start, Ahmad Bradshaw fumbling on the game's first offensive play—really, the Giants should just bench Bradshaw for the rest of the afternoon—and Richardson, the rookie running back for the Cleveland Browns, could sense a subtle flip of the switch.
"It felt like this was going to be a good day. Things were finally going right for us," he would say.
And they were: After losing that opening fumble, the Giants, heavy-eyed and lethargic, barely put a finger on Richardson as he coasted in 15 yards for a TD, his words from earlier in the week leaving a scorching trail. All Richardson had done was note the obvious. If the Browns covered the edges, ran hard and cut out all the juking, Cleveland could rush successfully against the Giants, a team that didn't exactly invoke nightmarish recollections of Lawrence Taylor foaming at the bit.
Wilson, Seahawks outlast sputtering Newton, Panthers
Barely four minutes later, Brandon Weeden, the Browns' soon-to-be 29-year-old rookie quarterback, hit rookie Josh Gordon with a perfect 62-yard touchdown bomb in which the Giants defenders appeared to have been swallowed by sink holes, and suddenly Cleveland was up by two scores and things were more than right.
This being the Browns, it of course came crashing down with a tremendous thud. There was an awful Weeden interception from New York's 25-yard line on third-and-1 when Richardson was curiously on the sidelines, then a Josh Cribbs' fumble on a kickoff return, and by the time the second quarter was over the Giants had scored 20 points en rout to a 41-27 laugher.
"The last three or four minutes in the first half was probably the worst three minutes of football of the year," said Weeden, who completed 22 of 35 passes for 291 yards with two touchdowns but had two killer interceptions that crushed the Browns. "One thing compounded after another, and you can't do that. Against a team like that, you can't do that."
In the murky shadow of five straight losses—a streak that stretches to 11 dating back to last season—the Browns got to see how the other half lives.
Bradshaw, more livid at his own blunder than any of the thousands screaming for his benching, shone as he recovered from that early fumble and ran hard and angry, finishing with 200 yards and one touchdown on 30 carries. Eli Manning was typically elite, finding six different receivers including his favorite—Victor Cruz salsa danced three times in the end zone.
Patriots' robust running game too much for fumble-prone Broncos
Imagine what the Giants could do if they didn't begin every game flailing around like night owls at alarm clocks that won't stop shrieking. Hit the snooze button, slam it again, then heave the clock against the wall. That's the G-Men's playbook.
"We should start games at a deficit because it seems to get us woken up and starting to play," said Justin Tuck, who earlier in the week lamented his team's tendency to begin "in a lull," especially against lesser opponents.
The Browns weren't just inferior. They lead the league in all sorts of undesirable categories. They're the league's youngest, the shortest, the lightest, the least-experienced. They committed 10 penalties for 91 yards, handing away points with alarming alacrity and making bone-headed mistakes on both sides of the ball.
Richardson is too wise to admit it, but there must be moments when he wipes the dust from his eyes and, in the immortal words of the Talking Heads, wonders how did he get here.
Cleveland traded up a spot and relinquished precious picks to select Richardson with the third pick overall in the 2012 draft. Once in a lifetime, Richardson was that sort of back, even if the legendary Jim Brown churlishly called him ordinary. Having smoothed things over, Brown surely appreciated the way Richardson fought for every extra inch Sunday while picking up 81 yards on 17 carries and through sheer will caused plays to continue even after the Giants thought they had wrapped him up.
Matt Cassel injury update: Chiefs' QB likely to miss time with concussion
"We had a strong start, but one thing we've got to do is keep our foot on the pedal, we've got to make sure we finish the game," said Richardson, after running for a touchdown for the fourth straight game and flickering as a threat out of the backfield, hauling in five receptions for 47 yards.
His midweek thoughts about the Giants being vulnerable around the edges—a truth exposed by the Eagles one week earlier—had been taken as a slur, with Osi Umenyiora saying of Richardson: "If he looks on tape and he thinks he sees some candy, come try and get it."
Richardson doesn't have diamond-sharp cuts, but he's as dangerous and as obstinate as a rhino to pull down. He gazed across the field with respect at Bradshaw, admiring his mental toughness when his world began to cave. Richardson had close to 130 yards total, a fine new-age performance for any rookie against the resilient Super Bowl champions, but it still left him feeling empty. The candy was stale and sour. He's never known anything like this.
"It stinks," he said, words that were being shouted back in Ohio, only differently, and with much more vigor.
Same as it ever was, same as ever was.

THE licensees of a Darwen pub have received a special present as they celebrate their first anniversary in charge.
Matt Worden and Zoe and Martin Evans joined forces to take over The Crown in Redearth Road 12 months ago and embarked on an ambitious refurbishment project.
And after a short time, the pub has been granted Cask Marque status, rewarding the quality of its beer.
Mr Worden said the pub had previously been the first in the town to receive the prestigious accreditation but it was removed when the previous tenants moved out.
He said: "We have worked really hard since taking over and made good quality cask ale one of our priorities."
Pub bosses are gearing up for a special celebration next month, when they will host a bank holiday beer, sausage and cider festival.
The event, from May 3 to 5, will feature a range of local and national cask ales, ciders and sausages.
There will also be activities such as face painting, live music and entertainment and a hog roast.
Mr Worden said: "We wanted to create an event that would celebrate all that is great about beer.
"It is a real opportunity to bring the community together to have a great time while giving something back to our customers.
"The timing is perfect also, as it is our one-year anniversary at the helm of the pub.
"It has been a fantastic year and we have seen a lot of new faces. A lot of the regulars have also come back. We have just got the food up and running now and it's really taking off."
Punch Taverns' partnership development manager Tracy Duncan said: "This is an excellent example of a pub bringing the community together and being proactive to drive trade and get customers coming back for more.
"We wish Matt, Martin and Zoe and their team at the The Crown all the very best with the event."

LONDON barrister Sara Ibrahim has emerged as a serious challenger to Kate Hollern in the contest to become Blackburn's Labour candidate in the 2015 general election.
The 57-year-old borough council leader has received several nominations from ward branches.
But Ms Ibrahim has also been well backed, gathering a local following.
The last of the six women to apply for the seat, which has an all-women shortlist, she is a cont ributor to the 'Left Foot Forward, Labour blog, and appears to have support at national and regional level.
Manchester city councillor Nasrin Ali, and Huddersfield councillor Naheed Arshad- Mather have also gained several ward nominations.
Blackburn Labour Party secretary Phil Riley is now awaiting trade union branch nominations before compiling a shortlist of three, or four, candidates to go before a hustings and selection meeting at the end of March.
Each woman will make a speech and answer questions before votes of Labour members at the meeting, and those submitted by post, are counted to decide who will be Labour's candidate in May 2015. Also in the running are Rochdale Labour activist Ann Courtney, and Agnieska Grabianka- Hindley, a London solicitor and daughter of former East Lancashire Euro MP Michael Hindley.
Last year, 67-year-old Jack Straw announced he would be standing down as MP for Blackburn after more than 34 years.
The former Home, Foreign and Justice Secretary had a majority of 14,884 at the 2010 election, making the seat a desirable target for would-be Labour MPs.
Ms Ibrahim is a barrister who focuses on employment, education, and equalities issues, a school governor, and former executive of the Fabian Society.
Mr Straw and Mr Riley have refused to make any comment on the candidates.
An announcement of the shortlist is due later this week.

Ford's C-Max Hybrid, Fusion Hybrid to Get EPA Review Following Fuel Economy Complaints
Tiffany Kaiser
December 10, 2012 12:15 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Consumer Reports Said Ford's 47 mpg claim is too high for both vehicles
There are questions regarding
Ford's C-Max Hybrid
and Fusion Hybrid's advertised 47 mpg, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) intends to check it out.
Ford's C-Max Hybrid and Fusion Hybrid both show an estimated 47 mpg, but
Consumer Reports
recently pointed out that neither are living up to the automaker's claims. According to its testing, the C-Max Hybrid received 35/38/37 mpg for city/highway/combined. For the Fusion Hybrid, it found 35/41/39 mpg for city/highway/combined.
"Yes, the disclaimer on EPA fuel-economy labels notes that your results may differ," said
Consumer Reports
. "But the overall mpg for these C-Max and Fusion models is off by a whopping 10 and 8 mpg, respectively, or about 20 percent. Our overall-mpg results are usually pretty close to the EPA's combined-mpg estimate. Among current models, more than 80 percent of the vehicles we've tested are within 2 mpg."
2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid
Ford responded to the claims, saying that mileage varies among hybrids.
"Early C-Max Hybrid and Fusion Hybrid customers praise the vehicles and report a range of fuel economy figures, including some reports above 47 mpg," said Ford spokesman Wes Sherwood. "This reinforces the fact that driving styles, driving conditions and other factors can cause mileage to vary."
While all vehicles must undergo the EPA test for fuel efficiency, the test isn't actually administered by the government agency. Instead, automakers perform the test and the EPA reviews it. In many cases, factors like temperature and speed result in gas mileage being lower than the EPA sticker.
2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid
Ford's testing found 47 mpg overall for both vehicles, and while it's common for the EPA to review such claims and discover a variation in gas mileage,
Consumer Reports
complained that this is a pretty big gap between Ford's findings and its own.
The EPA said it will "look at the report and data."
Back in December 2011,
Consumer Watchdog
called on the EPA to investigate Hyundai over its fuel economy claims. Hyundai claimed that its Elantra achieved 29 MPG in the city and 40 MPG on highway. However, the organization received a higher-than-usual number of complaints that real-world mileage was in the mid-20 mpg range.
From there, the EPA investigated Hyundai for misleading mileage claims and found that the fuel economy estimates of most of its 2012-2013 models were inflated. The same goes for Kia. Both Kia and Hyundai will be lowering the fuel economy estimates on the majority of their 2012 to 2013 models after EPA testing discovered a gap between its data and what both of the companies are claiming.
Hyundai and Kia admitted to overstating the estimated fuel economy on window stickers of about 900,000 vehicles sold since late 2010. Reports show that Hyundai alone
could spend $100 million
trying to fix the fiasco.

This thread's soul perpose is for us to talk about our collections and maybe if anyone wishes to sell something or buy something they could request an item and see if anyone else on hear has it.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas at the UN
The United Nations General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to upgrade Palestine to a non-member observer state.
The vote in the UN was 138 to 9, with 41 countries abstaining in favor of awarding the status of a non-member state. Though the vote was reportedly symbolic, it created discomfort in Israel and the U.S. The question is why, it's only symbolic. The Palestinians and many of their supporters say it's a step of progress in the right direction, closer to total statehood for the Palestinians.
In the meantime, the U.S. and Israel who led the effort to defeat the measure declared that a state will require further steps, a prospect the US and Israel have sworn to oppose. Even though the vote in the U.N. was overwhelmingly to recognize the Palestinian state, it appears that it's the only place that the U.S. does not recognize the "majority-rule" vote. It was long sought by the Palestinians and an embarrassing diplomatic defeat for the United States and Israel.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton rebuked the United Nations General Assembly's vote calling it an 'unfortunate and counterproductive' move that further obstructs the path to a peaceful agreement between Palestine and Israel. She also stated, "We have been clear that only through direct negotiations between the parties can the Palestinians and Israelis achieve the peace they both deserve: two states for two people with a sovereign, viable independent Palestine living side by side in peace and security with a Jewish and democratic Israel.
However, the Palestinians see it differently. Its President Mahmoud Abbas said, "We now have a state; the world has said loudly, `Yes to the state of Palestine'." For a recognized Palestinian state will indeed give Israel a responsible partner with international backing – one that will represent the entire Palestinian people. The status change by the UN does have deep significance for all concerned.
Israel has decided to retaliate and at present it has the power to do so. It has withheld much needed funds from the Palestinians and has declared that it would begin to expand settlement building after it had ceased to do so sometime ago to give peace a chance. Even the U.S. and its pro-European allies – including England and France – have opposed the plan to rebuild settlements.
Dr. Martin Luther King said, "Power cedes nothing without demand." If the Palestinians do not demand equality (statehood), they will get nothing regardless of negotiations with power (Israel); they will forever be second-class citizens.
Ultimately, the cause of the Palestinian people is more than UN recognition. For many of them things will not change without a land of their own.

Titan Computer Services scores major account
You're never too young to be an entrepreneur. Just ask the employees at one of Silicon Valley's youngest companies, Titan Computer Services. Located in Sunnyvale, the firm is founded and staffed by a group of Gunn High School students.
The students, ranging from juniors to graduated seniors, formed the company after taking a two-semester computer repair and maintenance class offered at Gunn. The class met at 7 a.m. and was part of the Regional Occupational Program, which helps students acquire hands-on experience and marketable skills.
Jim Thrall, a resident of Mountain View who taught the course, said he wanted the class to lead to something useful for the students. He decided on preparing the students for A+ certification, which consists of a two-part test and is the industry standard in hardware and basic operating system certification.
Essentially, Thrall said, "the students took a computer, tore it down, looked at each of the parts and put it back together again ... and made sure it all worked in the end."
Dan Pojanamat, a senior at Gunn, said, "A few students in the class decided on forming the company about halfway through the school year." Under the loose guidance of Thrall, they wrote a business plan for Titan (named after the Gunn mascot), using Microsoft Business Manager. Once summer arrived, Thrall found a warehouse-type office space for them, and they set to work.
"Although the first few weeks were slow," said Kristian Klivo, another Gunn student, "it has picked up recently."
Earlier this month, Adalis Systems contracted with TCS to upgrade all the Mailboxes Etc. locations in the Bay Area. This is approximately 110 locations, stretching from Petaluma to Gilroy.
With only a few weeks to complete the job, the staff quickly organized. They meet at the office each morning, pick up location maps and checklists, then in teams of two, head off to do on-site upgrades. Thrall said the traveling has not been too inconvenient, since "most of them just got their (driver's) licenses and are eager to be on the road."
He added this has also brought about unique problems, such as the time when the driver fell ill, and the team was stranded, because the passenger couldn't drive.
Thrall, who is also a wrestling coach at Gunn and has his own company to contend with, Vorpal Networks, said he is "very pleased with the work of the staff and (they) are ready for even more challenging work."
Besides upgrading, TCS also provides computer repair, installation of software and operating systems and assists companies in moving and setting up local area networks. TCS markets itself as a provider of "high quality and low-cost services on site at your home or business ... at a very competitive rate."

DETROIT --ĀWe're all witnessing this. This one-man, must-see show. This near mockery of baseball history.Ā Miguel Cabrera continued his obscene offensive pace, homering on the first pitch he saw Sunday, leading the first-place Tigers to a series-clinching, 6-3 win over the Kansas City Royals.
And continued to make everyone else look bad in the process.
Like he's playing a video game.
"He does have the cheat codes and we're just sitting here playing it normal," laughed Tigers starter Max Scherzer, who's making a little bit of history himself, getting his 18th win Sunday. "It's stupid. What he's able to do at the plate is -- you're getting to watch the greatest in the game right now. It's something special. For all of us, we enjoy the heck out of it."
It's just silly what Cabrera -- the defending American League Most Valuable Player and Triple Crown winner -- has been doing for an encore, despite nagging injuries to his abdomen, knee and shin.
Saturday night, he hit a walk-off, game-winning home run. The next pitch he saw, the first from Bruce Chen in the first inning of Sunday's series finale, he blasted for a two-run home run.
"When he's on, I don't think you can throw anything around him," said Chen. "He's not supposed to be pulling that ball. But he did."
At that point, eight of his previous 18 hits were home runs.
If you're unclear, he is, in fact, on.
"Some day, I'll be able to tell my son that the first games he went to, he got to see that guy play," Tigers outfielder Matt Tuiasosopo said. "My son is six months old, and he comes to every game, and gets to watch that guy play."
Even those with a little longer memory are having their minds boggled.
"This is 50 (years) for me, and I've never seen anything like it. Since my time in baseball, there was George Brett trying to hit .400 was one thing that sticks in my mind and one of the other things that sticks in my mind was (Sammy) Sosa and (Mark) McGwire race that year with the home run thing. That was exciting," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said.
"I don't know how to explain it. Tony La Russa called me the other day, and said, 'Make sure you're enjoying that, but it's unbelievable when they're doing.' But when you're concentrating on managing and the moves you might have to make in the game, pitching changes, stuff like that, sometimes you don't get to enjoy it like a fan or a player that's not in the lineup that day."
Cabrera became just the third Tigers hitter with back-to-back 40-home run seasons, preceded by only Hank Greenberg in 1937-'38 (40 and 58) and Cecil Fielder in 1990-'91 (51 and 44). It's the 11th time a Tigers hitter has had 40 homers in a season.
For the season: 160 hits, 40 home runs, 120 RBI, .360 batting average.
"Dear Miggy ... You're making the rest of us look bad. ... Knock it off --ĀMLB Hitters," tweeted the Indians' Jason Kipnis.
Former big leaguer and current MLB Network analyst Mike Lowell tweeted: "Miguel Cabrera doesn't play baseball, he plays whiffle ball. Makes the game look so easy. Best hitter on the planet!!"
It is getting to the point where people are starting to wonder where he ranks among the best hitters of all time, although Cabrera himself -- "You guys can talk about it but we talk about other kind of stuff. Our job is play baseball. Your job is talk." -- wouldn't get sucked into the debate.
Stats are beginning to back it up.
According to STATS, LLC, Cabrera joins Babe Ruth and Jimmie Foxx as the only players since 1921 with at least 120 RBI, 40 home runs and a .350 average in their first 116 games of a season.
"No, I've never seen that before. We probably won't see it again when he's gone for another 100 years. This guy, he's impressive. I've seen a lot of good players, Roberto Alomar, Manny Ramirez, I've seen a lot of good players. This guy is definitely one of the best hitters that I've ever seen," Torii Hunter said. "He's unexplainable. ...
"He's killing the ball, swinging out of his behind. He's swinging hard and hitting .360-something. That's crazy. You don't see that. He's not even getting infield singles. He has been hurt for two weeks and he still rakes."
What's more, he WANTS to put on a show, for the fans.
"Every at-bat, every game, you want to do something good, because I think (the) people pay for that. That's hard for us, but people pay for that, to see something. Not only me. It's like the whole team. They're paying to see something special," Cabrera said Saturday, admitting that his nagging nicks are really not that painful when he's trotting around the bases.
"Man, when you hit a home run like that, you're loose, smooth."
Jam him inside, and he flies open and puts it in the seats in left. Throw away from him, and he stays on it and puts it in the right-field bleachers.
"It's flat out amazing what he's doing. He doesn't miss a pitch," Royals designated hitter Billy Butler said. "We're trying not to pitch to him and he still hits the ball out. Best hitter in the game."
It wasn't just Cabrera teeing off on Chen, who'd been such a puzzle for the Tigers to solve in recent years.
The Tigers added single runs in the third and fifth, making it 4-0.
Hunter's fly ball to right field with two outs in the third screwed Royals right fielder David Lough into the ground, and the ball bounced off the warning track and into the stands for a ground-rule double. Cabrera would drive him in with a single two pitches later, on a pitch that Chen though was good, considering it was six to eight inches inside.
"I was going 'Whoa, a good pitch. Not over the plate.' But he hit it like I left it in the middle of the plate," Chen said. "But I didn't."
After Jose Iglesias doubled to the left-center gap, Austin Jackson's fly ball to right eluded Lough again, and Hunter would score Iglesias from third with a sacrifice fly.
Detroit pushed its lead to 6-0 in the sixth, using four straight hits from the bottom four spots in the lineup to score twice. Brayan Pena's RBI double to dead center field brought in Andy Dirks and Ramon Santiago greeted reliever Louis Coleman with a single that scored Pena.
Scherzer (18-1) went eight innings for the win, giving up just two runs in the seventh on Salvador Perez's RBI groundout and Emilio Bonifacio's double. Butler hit a leadoff home run in the ninth off Joaquin Benoit.
But Scherzer knows that Cabrera has been a big part of each and every one of those victories -- or at least most of them.
"Miggy always seems to show up and hit bombs and do damage every single time I go out there. The rest of the line up does their job. Guys make great plays behind me. For me, I go out there and I just give the team a chance to win. When I'm able to do that, the team always seems to rally around that," said Scherzer, who's gotten a ton of support --Āa .425 average, four doubles, 10 home runs, 32 RBI and 24 runs -- from Miggy alone in his 25 starts.
"Blahblahblahblah. I don't want to know that, but I know he always hits well in my starts," Scherzer kidded. "I gave him some crap last time because he went 0-for-5 in Chicago. I said 'That's just unacceptable. You're my guy. When I pitch you always hit and hit for power, so I expect more out of you.' Sure enough, first pitch of the game he sees it's a bomb. He was right back on track."
It's uncanny.
It's so easy to predict, yet so hard to explain.
"I don't know how to describe it. What you're seeing is unbelievable, really," Leyland said. "I've never seen anything like it, to be honest with you. I mean, I can't -- I don't know what else to say. I hope I can keep talking about it, because you're asking me every day about it. I hope they keep asking me, because that means he's really doing something. I can't explain what's going on right now. This is -- it's mind-boggling."
And we're all witnessing it.

Skin Care and Diseases
Recurring boils (chronic furunculosis)
I am 28 yrs. old with recurring boils. The first time it happens was when I was only 10 or 11. I thought I am resistant with this kind of disease because I experienced it already, but I was wrong. I had 14+ boils on different parts of my body mostly on my knees, thigh and to the extreme extent to my scrotum for the past 2 months. When the 1st time it re-occurred on my knee I took self-medication, I took Cloxacillin 500mg twice a day for a period of 3-4 days. I stopped taking it when I saw that the wound is healing. After a week it re-occured for the 2nd time but with a vengeance, I had 1 boil on my pubic part and each on my both knees. This time I went to see a doctor, he instructed me to take amoxicillin 500mg thrice a day for 7 days and advised me to use germicidal soap when bathing. I thought my problem will going to be solve but after a few days I`ve noticed that I got 1 more on my scrotum and 1 on my thigh. I still took the medication and patiently waited until the wound heals. Guess what, after a week the boils recurred for the 3rd time 1 on my scrotum and 1 on behind my thigh. I went again to another doctor and told my experiences. He prescribed me to take Clindamycin 300mg (CLINDAL) thrice a day for 2 weeks and use germicidal soaps. I also went laboratory-testing, urinalysis, CBC and FBS to find out if there is other problem that hamper my healing but to my amaze all the test are normal. The healing process went smoothly after 5-6 days, but after 8 days I stopped taking drug because I felt pain in my esophagus maybe an ulcer cause by the side effects of the drug. By this time the wounds are already healed. The problem is not over because after a week the boil re-occurred for the 4th time, 1 on my scrotum and 1 on my thigh. I am depressed don't know what to do? Am I going to take medication or wait until the wounds will self-heal? Do I need to see a doctor? What doctor do I need to see? How to treat this kind of problem? Are the bacteria resistant with the antibiotics that I took? Is Urinalysis, CBC and FBS is sufficient if to find out if there's other problem that hampering the healing process? Please do help!!!!!
The problem of chronic furunculosis is one that needs the attention of an expert in infectious disease. Many of these lesions contain penicillin-resistant Staph aureus and you may find that your sinuses have become populated with organisms that are difficult to treat. The infectious disease specialist or an internist with special training in infectious diseases will review your entire immune system/infectious organism in helping you find a solution to your problem.

DNA Evidence Leads To Deer Poaching Conviction
AUSTIN, Texas — On Oct. 1, an Angelina County jury sentenced David Peters, 35, of Zavalla to two years in state jail and a $3,000 fine for hunting without landowner consent. The defendant has filed an appeal in this case where DNA evidence analysis applied new technology to help address an age-old concern in the woods of East Texas.
Angelina County Game Wardens James Barge and Heath Bragg gathered DNA evidence from the deer killed in the case. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department forensics analyst Beverly Villarreal tested the DNA from a rifle seized during execution of a search warrant which proved that the rifle had been at the scene of the offense.
Other DNA evidence from beer cans located at the scene and DNA from the defendant was gathered with the help of Lufkin Police Department's crime scene technician Debra Walsh and sent to the Texas Department of Public Safety crime lab in Houston. Angelina County Assistant District Attorney Dale Summa tried the case, working with the game wardens all along the way. All of this evidence ultimately proved that Peters, who owned the gun in question, had been at the crime scene.
"Game Wardens Barge and Bragg went far beyond what a lot of officers would typically do in gathering evidence for this case, and they should be commended for their dedication," said Clyde Herrington, Angelina County district attorney. "The use of DNA evidence is something we wish was used more often in our general case load. It was critical in this case."
Nearly a year after the offense, the convicted man's girlfriend's father contacted Game Warden Barge and stated that he had told a false story earlier in the investigation about a time when Peters had arrived at his house, a statement which had given Peters an alibi.
The girlfriend's father went on to state that he had spoken to Peters while he had been illegally hunting and that Peters had stated he was hunting on the complainant's land. The Angelina County district attorney's office helped secure a court order to obtain cell phone records to support the father's statement.
Prosecution witnesses included both game wardens, Walsh, Villarreal, a DPS DNA analyst, the complainant and his wife, and Peters' girlfriend's father. The defendant and his girlfriend took the stand also. The jury acquitted the defendant of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, which allegedly occurred when the complainant caught the defendant with the deer at the scene of the offense.
"One thing about this case that caused some concern among the game wardens and in my office as well is that some of these wildlife crime offenders can be belligerent and dangerous," Herrington said. "In my view, one of the reasons we have these laws about hunting and fishing is to protect people as well as wildlife."
Barge said the case marked the first time in his 11-year career as a Texas game warden where human DNA evidence led to a criminal conviction.

Authorities: 3 Set Deadly Ind. Blast For Insurance
Sigh.Three people charged in a gas explosion that devastated an Indianapolis neighborhood deliberately set up the deadly blast to collect a big insurance payout, authorities said Friday.
The home's owner, Monserrate Shirley; her boyfriend, Mark Leonard; and his brother, Bob Leonard, were arrested Friday and charged with murder, arson and other counts in the Nov. 10 blast that killed two people.
Shirley, 47, was facing mounting financial woes, including $63,000 in credit card debt and worsening bankruptcy proceedings, court documents say. And a friend of Mark Leonard's told investigators Leonard said he had "lost a ton of money" — about $10,000 — at a casino some three weeks before the explosion.
Investigators believe the trio had actually tried but failed to blow up Shirley's home the weekend before the successful timed explosion, according to Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry. The fiery blast destroyed five homes, including Shirley's, and caused widespread damage to dozens of others in the Richmond Hill subdivision in the far south side of the city.
(P.S.: Maybe the thread title could be updated to something more appropriate.)

Eventually more 1980s retro styled tracks are going to be created than were originally created in the 80s themselves. I'm not complaining at all. This week two new hairspray decade sample packs were released. Ueberschall's 80s Smash Hits (99€) and Zenhiser's 1987 Drum Beats (25 AUD) both will take you back 30 years.
"80s Smash Hits is a cutting edge construction kit library, inspired by the catchy sounds of the legendary Synth Pop and Wave bands that are still sought-after today. In the eighties despite the fashion, it was all about song writing and playful experimentation with sounds, machines, synthesizers and effects." – ueberschall.com
