Alex Gordon and Jeff Francoeur were shut down for the year because the peasant Royals want to give Lorenzo Cain and Jarrod Dyson a full three days to show their worth. Gordon's line this year was 101/23/87/.303/17. Terrific! Wonderful! Tonderific! But if you peak under the hood, things aren't as they seem. His BABIP is .358, easily a career high in the majors. His walk rate and line drive rate dropped from last year, and his ground ball rate nudged up. His homers and speed look about right, but if luck goes against him those two categories could get affected. He's probably much closer to a .280 hitter with 17-20 homers and 12-15 steals. With just a tad bad luck, he becomes a fifteen homer guy with 10 steals and a .265 average. That's far from spectacular. That's spectaculess. I just made that up; you like it? You use it. As for Frenchy, his line was 77/20/87/.285/22. Oh, well, that looks pretty normal– Wait a second, 22 steals?! Where the eff in the effhole did those come from? His previous high was 8. He always failed to take pitches like he needed some ADHD medicine, but now he's running the bases like it too. "Sorry, first base coach, whatever your name is, can't stay at 1st, gotta run, peace!" That's Frenchy, and he can't even stop for a period at the end of sentences; he only has time for commas. He's always been a notorious bad ball hitter. This year Frenchy swung at 41% of balls outside the strike zone, which is actually high for him, and his percentage of balls swung at inside the strike zone was actually down. Only thing that changed this year, he made more contact with pitches outside of the strike zone. If that stops along with his whacked out of his mind stealing, he may use 2012 to revert to his old ways, so it'll be hard to give Frenchy my arrondissement. Anyway, here's what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:
Psyche! Before we get into the roundup, I just wanted to announce a very good friend of mine is putting on a one man show in Los Angeles. If you go see the play, you may just run into yours truly and my significant other — my mustache. If you can't make it to Los Angeles or if you're in Los Angeles but afraid to leave your house, you can buy his book. Anyway II, the roundup:
Hunter Pence – 3-for-5 with his 21st homer. Hey, that homer can drink legally! After Pence sat out for three games with a sore knee, it was good to see him return, unless you had him on your bench like I did. Sonavabench!
Jacoby Ellsbury – Hit his 29th, 30th and 31st home runs yesterday. For the Sox's sake, it's too bad he can't pitch.
Francisco Liriano – 1/3 IP, 5 ER in middle relief. How'd he go from one of the best arms in the game to mop up duty? When Dr. James Andrews tells people 9 out of 10 pitchers agree with the good doctor, I think I know which one doesn't agree. "I feel like Bruno Mars's forehead, big and empty!" That's Liriano talking through a translator.
Wilson Ramos – 1-for-4 with his 2nd homer in his last three starts. I specify his last three starts, because the Nats have been sitting him every other game. It's really important to get at-bats for Pudge, whose nickname wasn't always ironic, and Jesus Flores? Rhetorical!
Stephen Strasburg – Nats announced he would have an innings limit next year. The GM said that innings limit has been semi-calculated. The equation he used was pretty straightforward: A Reinjured Strasburg = No Job.
Wade Davis – 8 IP, 2 ER, 5 baserunners, 6 Ks. Nice end to what's been a pretty terrible season. His K-rate was atrocious and it wasn't like he was getting unlucky with his 4.45 ERA. Usually the third year a starter is in the majors is when their breakthrough comes, which next year will be for Davis, but I don't have high hopes here.
Jason Bay – Didn't play Sunday and was pulled from Saturday's game because of illness. Illness sounds like it should be managing the Mets.
Nolan Reimold – 2-for-4 with his fourth homer in the last ten games; also he's hitting .300 over the last week. He's either hitting really well recently, or it's an illusion to get people to draft him again next year.
Robert Andino – 1-for-2 with a steal. After 136 games, he has 13 steals with 4 coming in the last week. I don't get that. Did he just suddenly realize he's fast? Was he auditing a summer class from the University of Phoenix on base stealing and he just passed? If you have speed, then run.
Brian Matusz – 5 IP, 6 ER. On the year, he gave up 59 earned runs in… Guess how many innings. Wait for it… Here it comes… Wait, where did I put it?… How did it end up in my glove compartment? Anyway, in 49 2/3 innings. That gives him the worst single-season ERA in MLB history (10.69). On the bright side, for the record he beat Halladay's 10.64 ERA of 2000. Then again, Halladay was throwing with his left hand that season.
Grady Sizemore – Shut down for the year. Backdate that to the moment his flash went off in front of a mirror. Use any definition of the word flash you'd like.
Asdrubal Cabrera – Left Saturday's game with an elbow contusion and didn't play Sunday. On a side note, I think Asdrubal should follow Ichiro's lead and have just Asdrubal on his jersey. Imagine parents taking their kids to a game and covering their eyes when they see Asdrubal.
Shelley Duncan – 2-for-3 with his 7th homer in September. I feel sorry for all those that had to high-five him during his torrid month. He's always so intense. Here's him at a post-game press conference.
Felix Hernandez – 3 1/3 IP, 5 ER, 13 baserunners, 2 Ks and was pulled from the game after being hit by a comebacker. Over the winter, I want a 500 word essay from him about what he did this summer that made me no longer love him.
Miguel Cabrera – Hit a homer in his third straight game, then left due to lightheadedness. After the game, he said he prefers Amstel Light-headedness.
Matt Holliday – 2-for-7 over the weekend as he returned. La Russa, wearing a jacket made from veggie burgers, said as long as Holliday's healthy, he's going to be out there. Now it's a judgment call whether you should play him. I wouldn't necessarily go back to him if I had options that were hitting.
Jose Bautista – After crashing into a wall, he stayed in the game for five innings only to then leave with a knee injury. I think he should be fine. My mom was right, I could've been a doctor. "But, mom, there's a whole lot more zeroes in blogging. Though that's not zeroes as in money."
Brett Cecil – 3 1/3 IP, 4 ER and ends the year with a 4.73 ERA and 1.33 WHIP. Somehow, I'll find a way to make him seem attractive yet again next year; you just wait and see!
Carlos Gonzalez – As reported here first on Friday after inferring shizz from other sources, CarGo is done for the year. As I said in the preseason, "He's a bumps-and-bruises, miss-a-few-days-here-and-there type guy. Those day-to-day things can turn into more." And that's me quoting me!
Kevin Kouzmanoff – 3-for-6, 5 RBIs and 2 homers. Don't mess with The 'Noff.
Josh Willingham – 1-for-4 with his 28th homer. I'd put $5 on The Other White Meat getting to 30 homers, if I were a betting man. Okay, if I were a betting man on things I actually know and not just random rolls of a die.
Torii Hunter – 1-for-3 with a steal yesterday, and a homer on Friday and Saturday. Not the same homer, that would be weird.
Vernon Wells – Slam & legs yesterday and 4 homers in the last 8 games. You looking at his 25 homers and 9 steals on the year, "Hey, Vernon Wells had a good year? Who knew?" You looking at his average, "He hit .220? Crimey a river, Justin Timberlake."
Adrian Beltre – 3-for-4 with his 30th homer and 101st RBI while hitting .293. I don't get it, is he gonna try to renegotiate his contract?
Ian Kinsler – 3-for-4, 3 runs and a homer and two steals. Totally just padding his stats to get to 30/30 and I love it. This is why all players should have to own themselves in an H2H league with 50% of their contract in their fantasy league pot. I wonder if the union will go for it.
Emilio Bonifacio – 2-for-4 with his 2nd homer in as many games, and he's 7 for his last 13. Can you tell I don't want the season to end? This is like the longest roundup ever. Bonifacio is hot, moving on…
Ricky Nolasco – 2 IP, 6 ER. Ends the season with a 4.67 ERA. Somehow, he'll be hyped again next year by everyone but me. "Hey, ESPN analcyst here, and I want you to look at Nolasco's strikeout to walk ratio. He's awesome!"
Clayton Kershaw – 7 1/3 IP, 2 ER, 5 baserunners, 6 Ks and his 21st win to go along with his 2.28 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 248 Ks. Even with an injured knee, that had Ethier dancing.
Justin Upton – Left the game after being hit in the head by a Lincecum fastball. Tests are showing no signs of a concussion. Too bad. I was hoping he'd return as Jason Bourne and bring down Justin Morneau for trying to kill my fantasy teams.

System to identify AC distribution impedance
Post a comment
Baltimore, MarylandWhen performing energy management and power quality studies, a very new company called Z Meters, Inc. (no Web site yet) is readying a product that will use time-synchronized multi-point measurement and correlation techniques to characterize the impedance of an AC power distribution system. That's needed because problems in a power distribution system are frequently the cause of poor power quality and excess energy use.
The ZM100 Distribution Analysis System, slated for release early next year, will identify and localize conditions that can lead to voltage anomalies and/or power loss. These include loose wires, carbonized contacts, undersized transformers, harmonic loads, parallel loads, and non-linear impedances.
Why And Where
"Typical power quality and energy monitoring instruments provide data on what events are occurring and when they occurred," notes Bob Moore, president and CEO of Z Meters. "In contrast, the ZM100 tells you why and where the abnormal conditions exist in the distribution system that set the stage for those events to take place."
A ZM100 system will consist of two or more ZM100 Distribution Analyzers, each connected to a salient point in a facility's electrical distribution system. Each will be equipped to make time-synchronized and accurate measurements of voltages and currents for all phases and the neutral.
Measurements will be made, and data will be gathered, over a time period that will characterize the range of operating conditions that typically exist in the facility.
Talking Bluetooth
Data will be communicated to a PC across a Bluetooth RF wireless link. The ZM100's Windows-based software will perform calculations and correlations resulting in a characterization of a distribution system's impedance (both at the line frequency and at harmonics). Using the characterization, distribution impedance abnormalities will be identified, and corrective measures can then be applied.
The price for a complete system, including two measuring instruments, connectors, current transformers, and software will be about $10,000. The company says product will be available in the first quarter of next year.
For more information contact Moore at Z Meters, Inc., 5577 Del Oro Place, San Jose, Calif. 95124. Phone: 408-356-8829. E-mail: email@example.com

Durban - Hours after the public protector visited the Glebelands Hostel in uMlazi this week, another person was killed.
Zibangile Ntozakhe, 55, was shot dead at a bus stop opposite Glebelands on Thursday night.
Earlier in the day, Thuli Madonsela had come to investigate the cause of the high murder rate at the hostel.
Police spokesman, Major Thulani Zwane, said: "It is not clear if the motive is Glebelands conflict-related, taxi-related or another criminal act. But what we do know is that the deceased was a hostel resident.
"He died after being shot in the chest."
Deputy public protector, advocate Kevin Malunga, said it was undoubtedly related: "There is this culture of killing at Glebelands. It has become commonplace to kill people over petty issues."
The police have recorded 44 deaths while the community claimed more than 50 people had been killed in 2014 and last year.
"The figure varies from time to time between the complainants and police.
"To me, the exact number is neither here nor there – the real issue is to put an end to this before revealing why it got to this point," Malunga said.
A source said Ntozakhe had been killed in an attempt to silence him after he had been seen on TV commenting about a minibus that ploughed into pedestrians, killing two children and a vendor at Reunion on Wednesday last week.
Ntozakhe lived in room 1 of Block O. He had been a taxi rank manager at Reunion Station.
"We suspect a taxi owner hired a hitman to silence Ntozakhe, after being blamed on TV for speeding.
"Glebelands residents live in fear of being killed. I do not blame them for not wanting to speak to the media.
"Everyone is looking over their shoulders. For safety between blocks, we walk in groups," he said.
He alleged people "high up" were benefiting from the bloodshed, which was why the killings would not end. He said Madonsela had been given a hit list naming 21 people to be killed.
Malunga said he had not seen a hit list.
"That kind of talk is toxic. It can lead to more assassinations.
"A lot of documents were given to us by complainants and we have not had enough time to go through them all."
He said the public protector's role was to ensure residents did not have to live in fear and his office was investigating allegations against the police.
He said they would return with the Department of Social Development to provide psychological support for the community.

Performance Analysis of Different Erbium Doped Fiber Based Codirectionally Pumped WDM Systems Operating in Optical Wide-Band
With the advent of modern telecommunication industry in 21st century, secure, fast and long distance data communication has become an important communication requirement. Widespread demand for huge information capacity has paved the way for light wave systems, which includes optical fiber amplifiers. Today rare earth doped fibers such as Erbium Doped Fibers (EDF's) are employed in almost all telecommunication systems; this includes long-haul communication networks, metro-networks and even undersea fiber optic communication systems. Erbium doped fiber amplifiers can be employed as pre-amplifiers, in-line and booster amplifiers.

|About 100 people, including some who brought their entire family, attending the New Initiative workshop.
Gospel for Asia missionaries in Kerala, India, conducted a first-of-its-kind outreach to GFA Radio listeners. The workshop, dubbed the New Initiative, is designed to create Bible fellowship groups in areas where GFA radio programs are broadcast. By the end of the one-day event, a new Christian fellowship had been formed in this town.
It all began in September when GFA radio staff in Kerala decided to conduct a meeting in one of the towns where GFA Radio is heard. They invited hundreds of their listeners to the New Initiative event, and about 100 of them came.
Five GFA missionaries, including the district leader, led the program, which included worship in song, teaching, prayer and group discussions.
The missionaries told the people about GFA-related churches, updated them on the radio ministry and took time to pray with them individually.In the past, fellowship groups that formed after similar GFA Radio listener meetings have grown into full-fledged churches within months.
The group discussions focused on how to develop a deeper relationship with Christ. The people who attended the meeting were excited and actively participated in the discussions. Many expressed a desire to start a fellowship group, so arrangements were made to have prayer meetings each Saturday in this town. A GFA missionary who works in the area will lead these meetings. In the past, fellowship groups that formed after similar GFA Radio listener meetings have grown into full-fledged churches within months.
GFA Radio broadcasts programs in 103 languages in 10 countries in and around the Indian Subcontinent. Each year, some 1 million listeners flood GFA's field offices with responses after hearing these radio programs. Their responses range from expressing interest in learning more about Jesus to requesting prayer for themselves or someone in their family. Many of the letter writers share how they were at the end of their rope—even contemplating suicide—when a radio broadcast brought them hope.
Gospel for Asia workers in each radio office pray over each response and reply personally to each individual who contacts the ministry as a result of the broadcast.

I have no idea where my passion for speedos comes from.
Those are the reasons why speedos shouldn't be such a big deal to me but......
Model Search
Think you are hot enuf to be a Swimmer Boy?
If you are over 18yo and look amazing in a speedo then that is pretty much all the requirements.
As you can see from this site, a lot of the photos and movies feature hardcore speedo action but I also love seeing real guys just jerking off in their speedos like we all do everyday (sometimes several times a day).
I'm are always looking for guys who are eager to show off how they look int speedos so feel free to drop me a line and see if it is something you might be interested in..

The Unilever Sustainable Living Lab is an online moderated dialogue to co-create solutions to sustainability challenges. The aim of the Lab is to inspire a dialogue where experts and practitioners from businesses, NGOs, academia and governments can learn from each other, share leading-edge ideas and promote best practice. The Lab is hosted by Unilever and facilitated and moderated by GlobeScan.
This year, the Lab dialogue took place on 24 April 2013 – to coincide with the publication of the Unilever Sustainable Living Plan Progress Report 2012. The objective of this Lab was to find tangible solutions to the challenges of reducing environmental impacts in the home.
The Unilever Sustainable Living Lab was designed to stimulate co-creation through conversation. Moderated discussions were held to unlock solutions to three priority areas of impact: greenhouse gases; water; and waste. The Lab ran for a total of six hours, split across two sessions in order to accommodate participants from the widest possible range of time zones.
Discussions were held simultaneously in two virtual solution rooms, with a new challenge question posed every hour:
The Unilever Sustainable Living Lab was an invite-only event. Nearly 1,000 sustainability leaders and experts across 80 countries registered for the event. More than 500 people participated on the day.
Twenty-nine guest speakers gave their expert perspectives and were active participants in the conversations. Sixteen contributors from Unilever helped drive the discussions towards solutions to specific challenges faced. Four moderators from GlobeScan led the discussions and explored the different threads.
A total of 1,750 comments were posted over the six hours of the Lab – that's one post every twelve seconds.
The aim of the April 2013 Lab was to drill down into specific areas that are among the most vital for delivering on the Unilever Sustainable Living Plan goals and targets. In contrast, the 2012 Lab was a longer discussion with a broader audience, to uncover solutions across the whole value chain.
To realise Unilever's goal to halve the environmental impact of its products across the value chain by 2020, it was clear from the Lab discussion that cross-industry standards must be elevated and new social norms and sources of satisfaction for consumers unlocked.
Hundreds of ideas and case studies were identified throughout the six hours of the Lab – some of these ideas can be taken forward by Unilever, while others are appropriate for a wider group of stakeholders in sustainable living. This is a small selection of the ideas generated – there are many more in the Highlights Report:
Working with institutions, such as universities and hotels, to demonstrate the viability of new water reducing technology and products to consumers.
Unilever staff from across the business participated in the Lab discussions, to help drive the conversations towards actionable ideas and solutions.
Ideas from the Unilever Sustainable Living Lab will feed into the work of the Unilever Sustainable Living Plan Steering Team, which is made up of senior leaders from across the business.
Overall, the input from the Lab amounts to a call to create a collaborative movement that unlocks the business case not just for Unilever, but for companies worldwide – one that lays a foundation for systemic change, new business models, and a common vision of the future. Changes in consumer behaviour and to the systems that businesses and customers operate within are needed, to nurture what is already well underway in an increasingly connected world, particularly in growth markets. Lab participants called on Unilever to set an example, bring others along, and deliver better livelihoods to those whom business serves – citizens and the society in which they live.
Read the Highlights Report for a summary of the Lab and a distillation of many of the ideas generated.
Read more about GlobeScan's Collaboration Forums
"Everyone on the GlobeScan team was energised by the fast-paced global dialogue and the flow of new ideas, innovations and partnerships emerging from the Lab. It was inspiring to use our evidence-led approach to crowdsource solutions to the real challenges Unilever and others face in changing consumer behaviour to be more sustainable."
"We co-developed the Lab with GlobeScan and they have been our trusted advisers from the start. We value their perspective, experience and commitment to engaging stakeholders effectively to address sustainability challenges. The 2013 Sustainable Living Lab delivered an even greater number of ideas and solutions that will help us achieve our goals."

Marmalade, digital audio and bullet-proof vests are among the Scottish products showcased in the 2012 Queen's Awards for Enterprise unveiled today.
Mackays of Arbroath, the last authentic producer of traditional Dundee marmalade, wins an international trade award for the second time after hiking export sales by 150% in six years and hitting 23 new markets including Russia, India and China.
Mackays employs 130 and is focused on being global leader in traditional British marmalade after growing exports from zero in 1995 to 40% of its business.

Chairman Paul Grant, who took over the business 17 years ago, said: "I believe our flexibility with respect to the requirements of overseas markets has been paramount to our success, with special recipes created for markets such as Japan and Korea to ensure we're catering for local tastes."
Another international winner is J&D Wilkie of Kirriemuir in Angus, originally established in 1868 but now manufacturing technical textiles between the UK and China, and specialising in "Jack Ellis" ballistic vests. Overseas sales have more than trebled over the past three years.
One of two innovation awards is bagged by Linn Products, the Renfrewshire-based creator of 24-bit digital music players, while the other goes to Alba Sound, which employs 38 at the West of Scotland Science Park making underwater sonar devices.
Alba's Scottish Enterprise account manager Graeme Clark said: "Fighting off stiff competition from companies right across the UK is a tremendous achievement and one which the company should be extremely proud of."
There are 16 Scottish companies honoured in this year's awards, with 13 in international trade out of a total 151 UK awards.
Scotland has none of the individual awards for enterprise promotion and only two of the 50 innovation awards, but one of the eight awards for sustainable development goes to City Building, the former Glasgow council building services department, for its work on affordable energy-efficient housing.
The business incorporates the UK's largest supported factory, Royal Strathclyde
Blindcraft Industries, which offers employment and training opportunities for its disabled workforce and ex-service personnel, and also runs the country's biggest apprentice training scheme.
The business, industry and skills department said: "The standard of entries in this, the Queen's jubilee year, has been the highest ever, with nearly 25% of entrants gaining an award."
Five oil and gas supply companies are among Scotland's international winners, including Balmoral Comtec, a six-year-old technology offshoot of James Milne's Balmoral group. Its exports are 95% of turnover, or three times the sector average. The others are Brinker Technology, Downhole Products, Gaia Earth Sciences and Strategic Procurement (UK). Bridge of Weir Leather, the auto industry supplier, wins its fourth award, after increasing turnover significantly and lifting exports to 91%.
Edinburgh Instruments, one of the UK's leading manufacturers of high-end photonic and electro-optical instruments, is recognised for the first time. Alan Faichney, chief executive, said the firm was on track to lift turnover by £1.3 million to £9.5m this year.
The capital's financial sector also features in the shape of Barrie & Hibbert, the Edinburgh-based risk analysis specialist bought by Moody's in December.
The other international winners are Glencairn Crystal Studio of East Kilbride, Edinburgh-based Skyscanner, and hydraulics engineer White House Products, based in Port Glasgow.

It's Friday and that means it's time for the Oregon recruiting mailbag. Despite the fact that most Ducks' fans were busy watching the Oregon hoops' squad run through the Pac-12 Tournament and a second-round win over Oklahoma State in the NCAA tournament, we still received a full load of questions. We chose a couple of the best ones to answer in time to let you get back to the couch to watch the Ducks try and make it back to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2007.
Kim K. (Eugene, Ore.): Alabama and some other schools are constantly playing on the "we can send you to the NFL card." But is this because they get lots of five-stars to begin with? If Oregon got the same quality of recruits would they send as many (or more) recruits to the NFL? Is there a study where it shows, this school sends this percentage of their five-stars to the NFL? (also four-stars, three-stars?)

The Roots Like To Bounce
October 10, 2005 - The Roots are currently headlining the 2K6 Bounce Tour, which also…
X05: NBA 2K6: Hands-On
October 5, 2005 - We couldn't help but do a double take as we walked by the booth for 2K Games' Xbox 360 version of NBA 2K6. Like NBA Live 06, sweat dripping down the player models is one of the standout features that's making "how do the players perspire?" become a standard interview question for sports titles. Instead of Live 06's large rivulets of running sweat, 2K6 opted for a more bead-like type of perspiration. The sweat beads in 2K6 can also reflect images from the floor, though only faintly, using a technique called dynamic specularity.
State of the Xbox 360: Final Kits
October 2, 2005 - For a major console that's about to launch worldwide and will genuinely challenge industry leader Sony, Microsoft sure has a funny way of making everyone feel real worried. Save the controversial price point announcement a few weeks back, ever since the Electronic Entertainment Exposition 2005, Microsoft and friends have been almost entirely mute. At E3, the message from Peter "November 2" Moore and J Allard, in short, was that Microsoft had games, hardware, online services, and marketing all slamming ready to go. The message was that everything was looking great. The HD era was arriving in style and the Xbox 360 would lead the way.
September 30, 2005 - First gameplay movie, screens, and info.
Gamestop's Xbox 360 Omega Bundle
August 26, 2005 - For those of you who've been following the updates on Xbox 360 bundles, here's the latest, most ridiculous new development. Gamestop.com is now offering what they've termed The Omega Bundle which they're selling for, you may want to sit down for this, $1,999.69. Regardless of why they made it 69 cents instead of 99, that's still a crapload of money, so what would gamers get if they had such a giant chunk of change to spend?
NBA 2K6 Gets the Shaq
August 15, 2005 - 2K Games announced today that none other than Shaquille O'Neal will grace the cover (and serve as spokesperson) of NBA 2K6. The Miami Heat center contributed to the game's design, offering input on this year's entry in the long-running basketball franchise.
Xbox 360 Launch Lineup?
August 10, 2005 - North American retailer Electronics Boutique, which expects Microsoft to ship the Xbox 360 as early as November 2, 2005 for an MSRP of $299.99, has comprised a complete, albeit questionable, list of X360 games for the console launch, IGN learned today from several EB outlets.
Corey Maggette: Picture Perfect
June 15, 2005 - Clipper star talks NBA 2K6, Michael Jordan, and posing for polygons.
May 17, 2005 - VIP, The Crib, and a new twist to 24/7.
E3 2005: NBA 2K6 Trailer Impressions
May 17, 2005 - Along with the other previously announced titles, Peter Moore introduced a quick trailer featuring gameplay footage from NBA 2K6. Our previous gushing over the game was based on a short reel of animation that seems to have been comprised of concept art. What we saw at the conference was not nearly at the level of detail, but it did appear to be in-engine with a fully animated audience.
E3 2005: 2K Announces Lineup
May 16, 2005 - Take Two today announced the official showcase titles from 2K Games and 2K Sports for this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo.
Pre-E3 2005: Xbox 360 NBA 2K6
May 12, 2005 - It was a sad day for many football fans when EA announced that they had bought the exclusive rights to the NFL. For the first time, the competition would be locked out of an entire genre. Most importantly the stellar NFL 2K franchise was effectively over for the next 5 years. Speculation on what would become of the development team behind the series included switching to college leagues, street ball, and over-the-top arcade football like Midway's Blitz franchise. Instead, we recently learned that the NFL 2K developers were combined with the NBA 2K team to begin work on NBA 2K6 for the Xbox 360. EA may have squashed the competition in football, but it better watch its back in when it comes to hoops.

The Big E3 List: 2005 Edition
April 11, 2005 - In preparation for the show and to let you know that we care (and we really do... the flowers are on the way, we promise), we've put together a fat list of all the "official" titles being shown at E3 in Los Angeles from May 12-14. BUT WAIT! Before you write in with such enlightening observations as "u f3rg0t triPl3 so=0p3r sup3r bLu3 p0k3m0N!11!!!!1!!1!," you should realize that this list doesn't necessarily represent everything that a particular company will be showing at E3, just what they've confirmed that they'll be showing so far. There are sure to be plenty of surprise titles on the floor that publishers aren't ready to make public until closer to the opening of the show. Luckily we'll be updating this list every single day with any new confirmed titles that we learn of, so all you'll have to do is check back here for the most up-to-date list of E3 titles. Those of you who are camping out by your computers can print out this list and highlight the games you're excited about and wait until May to read the latest as we poke, prod, and gussie-up to every damn game we can get our hands on at the show. Or just order a few dozen pizzas and read everything we post at E3. Lord knows we won't have time to! Remember that this is just a small sample of the games that will be at the show. Make sure to check this page regularly, because we'll be updating the list as we get more confirmations of titles that we'll be seeing at E3.

The chattering classes are aflutter that the President of Iran yesterday called Israel "a cruel and repressive racist regime" at the UN Conference on Racism. 23 diplomats stormed out, others applauded. While Ahmadinejad has said some pretty outrageous things, in this case I wonder if he saw this latest item in the Israeli daily Haaretz about T-shirt designs Israeli soldiers are ordering for their IDF units. The shirts boast slogans and images of dead Palestinian babies, bombed mosques, jokes about rape, sniping children, killing pregnant women in Hijab, etc. The designs are revealing. This is clearly not a military culture solely preoccupied with defending the integrity of the State.

Colgate-Palmolive Company (NYSE:CL) is a consumer products company whose products are marketed in over 200 countries and territories throughout the world. It operates in two segments: the Oral, Personal and Home Care segment and the Pet Nutrition segment.
Oral Care business products include Colgate Total, Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief, Colgate Max Fresh, Colgate Optic White and Colgate Luminous White toothpastes, Colgate 360° manual toothbrushes and Colgate and Colgate Plax mouth rinses. Its Personal Care products also include Palmolive, Softsoap and Sanex brand shower gels, Palmolive, Irish Spring and Protex bar soaps.
Also, the fact that Colgate commands an absolutely incredible 44.3% of the global toothpaste market sets it apart as the best pure-play investment opportunity in the oral-care industry.
Going By the Numbers
The average volume for Colgate-Palmolive has been 3.1 million shares per day over the past 30 days. Colgate-Palmolive has a market cap of $62.1 billion and is part of the consumer goods sector and consumer non-durables industry. The stock has a beta of 0.37 and a short float of 0.9% with 3.42 days to cover.
- Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with CL. Click here to check it out.
- CL 30-Year Financial Data
- The intrinsic value of CL
- Peter Lynch Chart of CL
CL's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 1.5%. The same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 0.2%. The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Household Products industry and the overall market, the company's return on equity significantly exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
Net operating cash flow has slightly increased to $820.00 million or 5.53% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, CL has also modestly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of 3.57%. The gross profit margin for CL is rather high; currently it is at 61.09%.
Following its strong first-quarter results, Colgate-Palmolive stated that it expects "another year of strong organic sales growth and gross margin expansion in 2014, and expect diluted earnings per share for the year to grow 4% to 5% on a dollar basis and at a double-digit rate on a currency neutral basis;" this forecast would result in earnings per share in the range of $2.95-$2.98, in-line with analysts' expectations. Also, it is safe to assume that Colgate will generate ample free cash flow during the year, so it can continue to repurchase a substantial amount of its shares while paying its healthy 2.1% dividend.
Tapping the Indian Market
India is known as one of the fastest-growing consumer markets - along with China, Indonesia and Vietnam. India's aggregated consumer spend could reach $13 trillion by 2030. Colgate-Palmolive also sees big growth in its Indian business. The company is the market leader and controls around half of the Indian oral care market. In the third quarter of fiscal 2013, its toothpaste market share rose 80 basis points to reach 54.3% in the Indian market, driven by several premium-priced products such as Colgate Visible White. Its manual toothbrush share also increased by 250 basis points to 42.2% in India, while its regional mouthwash saw market share up by 40 basis points to 20.2%.
The Indian consumer market gives these global consumer products companies huge opportunities for future growth. With established leading positions, Colgate-Palmolive could successfully take advantage of the rise in India's middle class income to drive their global businesses forward.
Restructuring Program
Colgate is pursuing a funding-the-growth initiative that is helping it to generate savings on indirect purchases by negotiating better lease terms with its current suppliers in several countries. It is also generating significant cost savings in a number of ways that include raw material substitution, the reduction of packaging material, and the increase in manufacturing efficiency through reductions in the number of stock keeping units (SKUs). All of these cost savings initiatives are and will continue helping the company offset commodity headwinds and reinvest cash flows in building its products particularly through increased advertising.
The restructuring program will begin delivering its value next year. 2015 will see substantial savings when the process is completed and cash flows will increase and will range between $365 to $435 million pre-tax ($275 to $325 million after-tax) per annum. These savings will provide bottom line growth helping investors realize greater returns.
To End
The company has earned its brand name recognition that has allowed it to occupy shelf space in the bathrooms of most Americans: you may not think of toothpaste as an innovative industry, but Colgate is currently breaking ground on an anti-cavity toothpaste that uses remineralization techniques to neutralize the sugar deposits in teeth and be 4x as effective as the typical fluoride.
Demand for household and personal care products is generally stable and not affected by changes in the economy. About 80% of CL's sales come from outside the U.S., with over 50% from emerging markets. Long-term CL's stringent focus on cost management will help it to manage through future competitive challenges.
Colgate-Palmolive has one of the most recession-resistant portfolio of products of all consumer goods companies. The most attractive feature of Colgate-Palmolive is its portfolio of products. The company's products are so basic and intimate that even during a recession consumers are hesitant to switch them out like they might with other lower-priced frequently private label offerings within other segments of consumer goods.


text: BURNETT: "Meantime tonight, another big thing for the president beyond meeting the pope in Rome was big news on ObamaCare. The White House announcing more than 6 million people have signed up for it. Only 1 million shy of the administration's initial goal but beating revised targets. Now of course, after the botched rollout of the web site in October, expectations came way down. This is a big positive surprise as the president's made a big push for people to sign up. As we've been reporting, young adults are key to keeping insurance costs down."

Elementary and general music classes are for home school students in K4 through 12th grade. They include elementary music, general music and others depending on enrollment. These classes are instructed by ACME director Shirley Faulkner.
Band, formerly only open to home school and private school students and adults, is now open to the general public in order to give those students in public schools who encounter schedule problems another opportunity to participate in instrumental music. Students must be at least 10 years old by Oct. 31. Adults who "always wanted to learn an instrument, but never got the chance" are also encouraged to take advantage of this class.
ACME is also offering, for the first time, a community children's choir and boy's choir. Open to any child age 7-13, the choirs will be filled by audition only. The mixed children's choir will be directed by Shirley Faulkner and Gloria Hardgrave. The boy's choir will be under the direction of Brian Faulkner.
Students interested in beginning band are required to attend a "tryout" where they will be introduced to the various instruments and, with assistance, given the opportunity to produce a sound on each to determine the instrument on which the student is most likely to be successful. Students interested in band who already have experience will need to audition for placement in an upper band.
Band tryouts and choir auditions are currently being scheduled. This schedule will be announced as soon as it is confirmed.
To obtain registration information or applications, or for more information, contact Shirley Faulkner at 264-9107 or 968-8074 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

A London tabloid says that Kevin Federline has already been offered 50 million dollars for the rights to a four hour sex tape made with Britney Spears. News of the World says:
Britney, 24, fears the raunchy footage will destroy her wholesome image unless she caves in to his demands for a £16million payoff and custody of their children Sean Preston, one, and Jayden James, eight weeks. Federline, 28, has bragged to pals that his X-rated tape shows the Oops, I Did It Again singer performing a series of explicit sex acts. The home-made video is believed to show the naked couple enjoying an uninhibited range of love-making and sexual games. It was made during the first weeks of their relationship two years ago when they were holed up in one of the exclusive bungalows at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los AngelesKeep in mind that Carolyn Murphy and Colin Farrell both kept their sex tapes from going on sale, and they don't have nearly the resources that Britney has. Also keep in mind that News of the World is such an awesome and credible newspaper, their website has this story and then a picture of Kevin and then a picture of two skanks. Please believe me when I tell you that at no point is it ever explained who these girls are or how they're related to this story. But still, awesome, right?

Lady Hornets lose ground in conference
The Frazee Lady Hornets struggled against Heart O'Lakes Conference leaders Hawley and Perham over their latest two-game stretch.
The Lady Hornets came up short Monday evening in the battle of the bees, losing to Perham 80-31 at Prairie Wind Gymnasium in Perham.
"Perham really took it to us tonight," head coach Dave Conzemius said. "They came out ready from the get-go and were the more aggressive team all night."
Freshman Alexis Tappe led the Lady Hornets (2-11 overall, 1-8 HOL) with 14 points off of the bench.
Freshmen Ashley Bachmann added seven.
Perham (10-1, 8-1 HOL) was led by senior Elisa Moenkedick, who became the Yellowjackets. all-time leading scorer in the first half, with 24 points overall.
Katrina Moenkedick had 16 and Lauren Guck had 11 points.
The No. 8 ranked Nuggets were too much for Frazee, downing the Green 61-28.
Hawley held the Lady Hornets scoreless for the first 12 minutes en route to the big victory at Frazee on Friday, Jan.8.
"Hawley showed us that they are the real deal," Conzemius said.
"They shot the ball exceptionally well and really made us work for our points. It's not that we played that poorly, they just executed at such a high level that we haven't seen this year."
The Lady Hornets had no answer for the Nuggets (10-0, 8-0) as they used a combination of strong inside and outside play to blister the nets, shooting 56 percent for the game.
In contrast, Frazee shot 20 percent (9-for-45).
Nine Hawley girls scored, led by sophomore Jessy Noreen with 19 points. Junior Allie Sannes added 12 points and senior Amy Stoa tallied 11.
Tappe led the Lady Hornets with 13 points and four steals.
"It was encouraging to see that we took care of the ball against their pressure defense," Conzemius said.
"We are becoming much better with our ball-handling and I don't think we will have many games that we will shoot the ball that poorly."
Frazee is back in action on Thursday night when they host Breckenridge.
The game is also Parents' Night.

Communication probably changes the patterns in the chaos, maybe strengthens some of the info making it multiply, helps the info grow by passing onto other communicators. I'm thinking about memes, for instance. We have a tendency to add and subtract info, change info when we communicate. We are creative with info.
> 5. Do you see this as consciousness communicating with itself through its parts?===Yes, I think all the information (consciousness) communicates with smaller bits of information (every thing which includes us).
- Well we have two things here... mental states and the digital bit.
As to mental states I can only go by what is in sources like Wikipedia
Look up Being and Nothingness and you will find such as ....
(1) The great human stream arises from a singular realization that nothingness is a state of mind in which we can become anything, in reference to our situation, that we desire.
(2) Sartre's recipe for fulfillment is to escape all quests by completing them. This is accomplished by rigorously forcing order onto nothingness, employing the "spirit (or consciousness of mind) of seriousness" and describing the failure to do so in terms such as "bad faith" and "false consciousness".
These are references to a state of mind
But then one does not need to go to side references, all of Sartre bit about bad faith, the look, negation etc. are states of mind. It is the statement of mind that Sartre is speaking about. In the waiter he is speaking against the person acting out a role of waiter versus his existence as human. These are states of mind.
With respect to photoreceptors they are in effect digital. The protein molecule in the receptor will react to a certain level of visual energy entering the receptor. At some point it will generate a signal to say that it has received the energy. This is the same as a switch. Granted it is not a clean as all that. You might be able to fool a blue receptor with red light if there is a sufficient quantity. The response of the receptor is like a probability curve centre on a particular wavelength. However, it is still digital.
Digital systems do not have to be literally ones and zeros. They can be twos and threes, as long as there is a difference between one state that is defined as zero and the other which is higher or lower and defined as the one. Or it can be an electrochemical signal of so many microvolts versus a rest state that has a lesser value. Or perhaps more ions versus less ions.
In any case, my main point is that the retina transmits to the occipital lobe on the basis of pixels. The photoreceptor is the pixel sampler. And because it is pixels, it has a certain resolution. That is, the ability of the human eye to resolve distance objects into two rather than to merge them. If a line is fine enough, what you see is a series of dots. It is the brain itself which concludes that these dots represent a line.
I do not understand your last sentence. I am not talking about resolving differences, but only pointing out that we see pixels of information.

Subject: [existlist] Re: retina
Please provide a scientific or academic source for this assertion as well as a philosophical citation which supports your contention that existentialism concerns "mental states." You are grossly oversimplifying to fit your schema and preferring to reduce thought and perception to simple formulas. But it's not existentialism. Ones and zeros do not equate with the on-off complex biochemical transactions within photoreceptors. Measuring digitally doesn't mean that what you measure is inherently digital. The eye converts pixels but has no digital receptors. Cells transact biochemically not digitally. Almost without exception existentialist thinkers, were concerned with intersubjectivity not with understanding internal biochemical processes. Even with the ability to observe and comprehend every single biochemical transaction in our brains, we'd still be no closer to resolving differences which are in themselves nearly impossible to decipher causally.

The image itself may be continuous after it travels through the lens of the eye and is cast onto the surface of the retina, but only small pixel portions the image are actually "seen†by the retina. Say you have a 10 thousand cones in one square millimeter, that means 10 thousand pixels of information that are gathered from the image. The density is probably less per colour when you consider the individual cones are dedicated to short, medium or long frequencies. The neurons which are the cones have a switching mechanism. If the photon hitting the cone is sufficient, the neuron will switch from a zero to a one. Very digital. And this digital information is then sent to the occipital lobe in the back of your brain. You don't have the image at the back of your head, only the signal information that has to be processed further from what occurs in the retina itself. Our eyes are limited by the amount of light that is needed by the cones and rods to make them react and the spacing of these elements. We have 3 types of cones. Some birds have 4 types and thus have a large range of colour evaluation. Some crustaceans have 10. But it's all digital.

It is the same as speaking about the neural processes in order to explain how we react for certain mental states. Existentialism is about mental states.

Maybe Peter C. knows. We do not have digital brains, contrary to your robot fantasies. Digital art, whether reproduction or new creation, is for the convenience of compatibility with computers and now of course cameras. Wil's point is right on. We don't need to know how the eye works to enjoy art though it may be of interest.

The protein encoded by CDC42BPA is a member of the Serine/Threonine protein kinase family. Additionally we are shipping CDC42BPA Antibodies (61) and many more products for this protein.
Showing 4 out of 4 products:
ICAP-1 (show ITGB1BP1 Proteins) monoubiquitylation helps in switching from ROCK2 (show ROCK2 Proteins)-mediated to MRCKalpha-mediated cell contractility.
Data show that the fusion gene cyclin D1 (show CCND1 Proteins)/myotonic dystrophy kinase-related CDC42-binding protein kinase alpha (CCND1 (show CCND1 Proteins)/MRCK) mRNA is resistant to CCND1 (show CCND1 Proteins)-targeted miRNA regulation.
the functional relevance of the LRAP25-MRCK complex in LIMK1 (show LIMK1 Proteins)-cofilin (show CFL1 Proteins) signaling and the importance of LRAP (show ERAP2 Proteins) adaptors as key determinants of MRCK cellular localization and downstream specificities.
MRCK participates in mediating the effects of HMI-1a3 on HeLa cell morphology.
A functional pathway involving PDK1-mediated activation of MRCKA, links EGF signaling to myosin contraction and directional migration.
Data show that chelerythrine blocks cellular activity of MRCK resulted in the specific loss of NM II-associated MLC phosphorylation in the lamella, and the consequential suppression of cell migration.
MRCKalpha takes part in transferrin (show Tf Proteins) (Tf)-iron uptake, probably via regulation of Tf- TfR (show TFRC Proteins) endocytosis/endosome trafficking that is dependent on the cellular cytoskeleton.
Class II histone deacetylases are directly recruited by BCL6 (show BCL6 Proteins) transcriptional repressor
a Cdc42 (show CDC42 Proteins)-MRCK signal mediates myosin-dependent cell motility and there is convergence between Rho and Cdc42 (show CDC42 Proteins) signalling
The level of MRCKalpha mRNA in various tissues strongly positively correlates with the level of TfR (show TFRC Proteins) mRNA, indicating its possible role in the transferrin (show Tf Proteins) iron uptake pathway.
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Serine/Threonine protein kinase family. This kinase contains multiple functional domains. Its kinase domain is highly similar to that of the myotonic dystrophy protein kinase (DMPK). This kinase also contains a Rac interactive binding (CRIB) domain, and has been shown to bind CDC42. It may function as a CDC42 downstream effector mediating CDC42 induced peripheral actin formation, and promoting cytoskeletal reorganization. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, and the full-length nature of two of them has been reported.

President George W. Bush touts his "faith-based" initiative as a better path to providing social services. In his fanciful worldview, religiously based social services are always better and more efficient than their public and private secular alternatives. News of misused funds at one of South Florida's largest "faith-based" charities should give him pause.
Americans United for Separation of Church and State is one of more than 1,000 organizations co-sponsoring the March for Women's Lives in Washington, D.C., on Sunday, April 25. We encourage all AU activists to join us in marching behind our church-state separation banner. AU Executive Director Barry Lynn will be one of the featured speakers at the rally.

The media reflexively turn to TV preachers Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson to represent the voice of evangelicals.

Today Mr. Jefferson (Thomas, not George) would be 261 years old. Thomas Jefferson was born on April 13, 1743, at Shadwell in Albermarle County, Va. Most famous for writing the Declaration of Independence while a member of the Continental Congress at the age of 33, Jefferson contributed greatly to the history of separation between church and state. Jefferson wrote the original draft of the 1786 Virginia Statute For Religious Freedom, which would later serve as inspiration for the Religion Clauses in the U.S. Constitution's Bill of Rights.

Almost every day it seems that the Religious Right finds a new way to chip away at the wall of separation between church and state. But Americans United is fighting back on many fronts. In the last month alone, I have testified before Congress, debated Religious Right leaders on television and sat in on arguments at the Supreme Court in the Pledge of Allegiance case. We are pressing lawsuits against "faith-based" funding and voucher aid to religious schools. And we are monitoring and challenging the use – and abuse - of religion in Campaign 2004.

Installed easy and a direct fit; would recommend
Part bolted right up perfectly. I never thought changing struts could be so easy. My only concern is the gage of the coil used for the spring was slightly smaller than the original equipment. Hopefully the engineering compensates somehow.
Great product easy to install fast shipping,FYI when installing the struts there is a letter stamp on top of the strut housing A letter L and a letter R which makes a lot eaiser to install.Parts Geek you ROCK !!!
I have installed these on two different cars and they seem very good. Good price and fast shipping from parts geek.
I have used this before and it has been a good product. Putting another set on a different car. Had good service from parts geek, ordered parts had them within a couple days and product was fine
Ordered left and right side struts. Installed them in a few hours and car rides like new now.

You can gain unprecedented access to The Royal Mint to discover the people and events behind the coins in your pocket.
In November 2017 Her Majesty The Queen and His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh celebrate their platinum wedding anniversary.
The Royal Mint has launched a new service – The Royal Mint Secure Storage
The first coin will be struck by Prince of Wales during a visit to The Royal Mint Experience
The Chairman of The Royal Mint, Peter Warry
With over 200,000 visitors per year, The Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland, is one of the city's most popular tourist attractions. The museum, which opened in 1993, houses over 10,000 Olympic artefacts. This makes it the largest collection of olympic memorabilia in the world.
The range of items held in the museum is diverse and impressive. Firstly, visitors can get up close to the actual outfits worn by Olympians during the Games. An iconic example of this is the pair of trainers worn by inspirational athlete Jesse Owens, the slave descendant who won an outstanding four gold medals in the face of a heavy Nazi presence at the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games. As well as personal stories of triumph, advances in clothing design are showcased, such as skier Charlotte Kalla's revolutionary ski suit designed to give a freedom of movement like no other.
Along with what athletes have worn over the years, there is also a wide selection of the sporting equipment that they used to gain success. This includes the signed basketball of the legendary American 'Dream Team' of the 1992 Games, which for the first time allowed professionals such as the iconic Michael Jordan to participate for their country.
Memorabilia enthusiasts will also appreciate the large collection of Olympic Mascots. These are traditionally animals that represent Olympic values such as strength and perseverance, as well as usually being native to the hosting nation, thus symbolising their national pride.
The Olympic Torch collection reveals the extent of thought that goes into the design of each one. Visitors can learn about the meanings behind the aesthetic designs, as well as the historical relevance of the torches' relays. The torch used in the first post-Second World War Games held in London in 1948 is a poignant example: the relay, known as the 'Relay of Peace', travelled throughout the countries most affected by the war. Artefacts such as these illustrate how connected the Olympic Games have been to historic events throughout the decades.
One of the most impressive collections that the museum boasts is that of olympic coins and medals. Ranging from original medals presented in Athens in 1896 at the first Modern Era Olympic Games, to medals and commemorative coins used in more recent decades, the collection proves fascinating for collectors and casual visitors alike.
Although now closed for renovations until 2013, The Olympic Museum is a must-see for anyone interested in olympic memorabilia. Promising that the developments will have a strong focus on the 21st century, once re-opened the museum should continue to grow in popularity. Without a doubt, memorabilia from London 2012 – including The Royal Mint's unique coin collection and the Victory Medals- will certainly make a fascinating contribution.

What exactly is the reason for removing the cartilage from the ear if it does not affect the tan? I'm flying by the seat of my pants here. I have left the cartilage in and used a plastic earliner, and I have removed the pain in the rear stuff and used the same type liner. Are we trying to avoid too thick an ear? I am looking for the simple (if there be such) route here. I don't like removing the cartilage so is it, or is it not essential?

I have tried it both ways, and you are right about removing the ear cartlidge
being a headache. That is why I now use the bondo method on my ears. When you
use an earliner without removing the cartlidge you are at a lot higher risk of
having your ears drum on you. If you want to avoid the task of removing the cartlidge
I suggest you try the bonded ear method and see how you like it. Using this method
all you have to do is turn the ears to the very edge, remove excess flesh, take some
laquer thinner and wipe the inside of the ears to remove any moisture, mix bondo with
a slow enough mixture to allow you enough time to shape your ear and let it dry. You will
get the hang of it pretty quickly and it is sure a lot easier than removing the cartlidge.
It is easy to get your ears too thich when using bondo, so be careful and make sure you
get a good uniform ear.
Good luck,

Tony, I forgot to say to pour the bondo in the ear and then shape the ear
before it drys.

I'm refusing to get into that bondo for earliners thing today. My blood pressure is already too high.
There is no "simple" way to remove cartilage, but if you are waiting until after you have tanned the hide to remove them, it's no wonder you're flying by the seat of your pants. Cartilage is best removed when the deer is still fresh and warm. Few of us however have time to do this then. We freeze the fresh hide and work on them later. When the hide is thawed, they need to come out quickly. If you allow the it to stay in place, it has a tendency to turn into glue and removal REALLY becomes a nightmare. (Also, hunters who like to "age" their meat and leave the unskinned animals on a meat pole for a week before you get it aren't your best friends either for the same reason.)
On your fresh or raw thawed hide, remove the meat from the ear butt. Insert one of the many ear opening tools on the market between the back side of the ear and the cartilage. Once opened, don't try to work the edges with the tool. Take your thumb and forefinger in gently lift the cartilage to the edges. Invert the skin. Now with a VERY SHARP SCALPEL, draw a fine shallow line across the the center of the ear. Fold the cartilage and the line will snap open. With your thumb and fore finger, gently peel the bottom half of the cartilage away. It will skin out completely over the butt if you wish. I usually cut mine off right at the butt and use that clump of cartilage to lock the skin into the earliner for commercial work. Now the top half should peel right out. Watch it very closely if it becomes difficult. If hair starts to pull through, relieve it with your scalpel. Usually, the top half comes out pretty easily on fresh deer. If it didn't come out all the way to the edges, use your fingernail to scrap those thin swiss cheeze edges off the skin. Now you can flesh the rest of the hide, salt it and prepare for your tan.

Just wanted to let you guys know that the info is invaluable to someone getting started like myself! Thanks again.
