SS chain line setup .. best by eye ?
Just wondered how peeps set there chain line up on there Singles ? ... Do you do it by eye or some other means ? ... maybe a straight edge ?
I used a steel rule and spaced the cog so it was at the same distance from the centreline as the chainring.
I used my mad math skillz
* my rear hub width is 135mm
* shimano middle ring chainline is 50mm
* did the math (135/2)-50 = 17.5
* measured 17.5mm from the dropout to cog center
works fine
Put chain set and ring on.
Put sprocket on free hub body no spacers
Put chain on.
Spin the cranks and the sprocket will align itself.
Work out how many spacers you need each side of the perfectly centred sprocket.
Fit spacers and lock ring.
Go for a ride.
1) Random number of spacers on the left, sprocket, spacers on right untill lockring tightens.
2) Does it look about right
Yes - ride
no - repeat 1
Straight edge. Place it against the outside of the chainring and see where it ends up at the back. Rotate the chainrings to a couple of different positions to check that it's not bent. This method is directly measuring the thing that matters - the angle between the chain and chainring. That said, this method only confirmed what I could already see by eye...
Measuring and calculating the distance from the centre line depends on your frame being true. Mine was off by a couple of mm.
Spoons got it.
Stick bike in stand, rotate drivechain, engage calibrated eye, repeat.
*find hill, slip chain, get off, allen key out, fix*
There are easier ways, i'm sure.
Customer's bike: use a chain line gauge, and move spacers around until it's exactly straight.
My bike: randomly put it together because it really doesn't matter in the slightest
Slightly off topic but y'know what I realised while making a Singleator today?
That device removes the ballache of spacing.
I do it by eye and run a proper unramped ring and SS chain

1 Amphinomus was one of the suitors of Penelope; his words pleased her more than those of the other suitors, because he had a good understanding. See Hom. Od. 16.394-398. He was afterwards killed by Telemachus (Hom. Od. 12. 89ff.). The suspicion that Penelope was unfaithful to her husband has no support in Homer.

The Series:
A little bit of background info on Cinemax's series, Strike Back. In 2010 the UK's Sky1 channel debuted a six part mini-series entitled Chris Ryan's Strike Back which was based on the author's novel of the same name. It did quite well and a second series commenced, this time in partnership with Cinemax in the United States. In the UK, this second series was called Strike Back: Project Dawn but in the States it was shown on Cinemax as simply Strike Back (which is how we'll refer to it for the purposes of this review). You don't really need to see the original British series to understand this second one (which is good because it's currently unavailable on home video in any format domestically) as apparently only one character from that first series returns and even then it's only for one episode. This is brought up only for informational purposes - it really won't affect your enjoyment of this ridiculously entertaining ten episode series, which has been renewed - expect another ten part story entitled Strike Back: Vengeance to debut on Cinemax in August of 2012.
Getting back on topic, the series contained in this set has five story arcs which are spread out over two episodes each. The basic premise of the show revolves around a former British commando named Michael Stonebridge (Philip Winchester) and a former US Delta Force operative named Damian Scott (Sullivan Stapleton), two agents of Britain's Section 20 - an elite division of the MI6 (or, secret service if you prefer). Their task is to stop a Pakistani terrorist named Latif who has kidnapped an agent named John Porter (Richard Armitage). This mission first sends them to India and the rest of their collective adventures take them to other locations around the world. Here's a quick breakdown of the ten episodes that make up the show (some mild spoilers ahead):
Episode One: Latif kidnaps John Porter and holds him hostage in India because he is one of only a few people in the world who can identify him. Latif plans to put into motion 'Project Dawn' and under the supervision of Colonel Eleanor Grant (Amanda Mealing), Section 20 aims to stop it by sending in Michael Stonebridge and Damian Scott who arrive in India only to be followed by terrorists looking for someone named Mahmood and then things get complicated.
Episode Two: Our agents find the mysterious Mahmood who turns out to have firsthand knowledge of a cache of deadly weapons of mass destruction that have ties to the beginning of the Iraq War. The terrorists ramp up their actions with a kidnapping and the Indian army take action against them with Stonebridge and Scott caught in the middle. The real identities of Latif and Mahmood are revealed as are some strange conspiracies involving the higher ups at Section 20.
Episode Three: The second storyline takes place in South Africa where an IRA terrorist named Daniel Connelly (Liam Cunningham) has robbed an armored truck and gotten his hands on some sensitive weapons information that originated with a man named Kenneth Bratton (Alistair Petrie) who has ties to Scott's previous experience in the Iraq War. The two agents are called in to save Bratton and get the information back before Connelly can do anything with it.
Episode Four: Scott manages to infiltrate Connelly's group while Bratton calls in some favors to ensure that his family doesn't get attacked by the terrorists. Details emerge about Bratton's ties to the WMDs found in Iraq while Connelly kidnaps some key players with Scott and Stonebridge left racing against time to save the hostages.
Episode Five: An arms dealer who was once a member of the British military named Gerald Crawford (Iain Glen) is captured by Section 20 agents who are interested in him because he has ties to Latif. Upon interrogation Crawford tells them that he was to swap the weapons in exchange for the freedom of his daughter, Doctor Claire Somersby (Laura Haddock), who was kidnapped from her hospital in Darfur by a group called the Janjaweeds. Section 20 decides to send in some agents to free her in exchange for everything that Crawford knows about Latif.
Episode Six: Scott winds up in the hospital with Maggie (Rachel Shelley), a reporter he once had an affair with where they are promptly arrested. Stonebridge, on the other hand, is reacting poorly to the death of a character from earlier in the series. With Crawford's help he gets back in the game and all signs point to a British spy working for Latif who will need to be taken care of. Crawford knows his identity, but with terrorists seemingly around every corner will he survive long enough to tell Section 20?
Episode Seven: As Grant wants to know more about Scott's background, she sets up a psychologist named Marianna (Natalia Avelon) to feign interest in him in a ploy to get more information on his past. From here, we shift to Kosovo where some European politicians are kidnapped by terrorists lead by Hassani (Mel Raido) who is going to hold them hostage and will release them only when his cousin is freed from prison. Grant allows the release of his cousin in order to get closer to MI6 agent John Allen (Adrian Rawlins), who is one of the hostages but the release of the prisoner does not go as planned and Scott and Stonebridge are called in.
Episode Eight: When Scott and Stone learn the truth about Agent Allen, they quickly run out of time as Hassani decides to sell the female hostages into slavery and use the male hostages for organ harvesting. Scott makes his way to the hostages while Stonebridge goes his own way as Latif and Assani meet up to exchange information.
Episode Nine: We learn a bit about Stonebridge's home life when he finds out that his wife Kerry (Alexandra Moen) is pregnant and that she wants him to quit Section 20. This doesn't last long as he and Scott are quickly sent back to Eastern Europe to investigate the disappearance of eight people who may be linked to Latif. They arrive and investigate a series of tunnels where this was to take place where, after they discover some labs, they are attacked. It seems Latif has plans to use chemical weapons against a very high profile target and so the race to capture him before he can do just that is on...
Episode Ten:
With Latif captured, Grant interrogates him while Scott and Stonebridge chase down two terrorists in Budapest, one of whom can detonate the weapons that were manufactured. Latif's men attack the base and he escapes with Grant now his hostage. Scott heads after Grant while Stonebridge has to try and stop the weapons from going off at the conference that Latif was targeting as the intertwining pasts of the various key players all start to unravel.
Strike Back turns out to be a lot of fun, sort of a televised throwback to the Cannon Films output of the eighties where there were evil terrorists all over the place and the good guys had to use whatever means necessary to stop them. This isn't the type of show to bother with diplomacy, and while it may take inspiration from real world events like the whole WMD/Iraq War controversy, it's not a show all that concerned with reality either. This is a series that puts entertainment first, a series that isn't afraid to get violent, to throw in some gratuitous sex because gratuitous sex is fun, or to go over the top when the moment calls for it. The series moves by at a fast pace, it's always exciting and frequently tense, it offers up enough drama so that we get the necessary amount of character development out of it and it is even occasionally clever. In short, it's fun. A lot of fun.
As Stonebridge and Scott respectively, American born Philip Winchester and Australian born Sullivan Stapleton do a pretty good job. Their relationship is typical buddy cop material, like something you'd see in a Lethal Weapon movie where they get along for the most part but definitely tend to irritate one another. There's an oil and water thing going on here sometimes, with Stonebridge seeming to be the more level headed, noble and heroic of the pair and Scott the hot headed one with a tendency to shoot first and ask questions later. The two leading men fill the roles well, they're charismatic, believably tough, and they do well in the copious action scenes that show up in each of the ten episodes. The series puts more emphasis on 'catching the bad guys' than on allowing their 'friendship' to develop naturally but at the same time by doing so they more or less give the audience what it wants - excitement. Supporting efforts from the sexy Amanda Mealing as the woman in charge and Alexandra Moen as the concerned wife are good, as are the efforts of Natalia Avelon who provides some welcome eye candy if not a whole lot more. The acting from all involved is enthusiastic and enjoyable, no one stands out in any sort of negative way here.
The series does a great job of maximizing the South African real estate that was used (often times to double as other countries - though some shooting took place in Europe) and the show has a fairly exotic look to it that works in its favor. As our heroes are globetrotting from one mess to the next the crew ensure that the cameras pick up on as much of the local flavor as possible, so we're never taken out of the show even if you know that not everything is shot on location. While certain aspects of the show start to fall apart if you apply to much thought and logic to it, there's no need to overanalyze the series. What we have here is a wildly entertaining series that isn't afraid to offer up healthy doses of sex and violence in an effort to put entertainment and cheap thrills at the forefront - it's good escapist material, the type of show you can have a lot of fun with and won't have to think about too much to enjoy.
The first season of Strike Back arrives on Blu-ray from HBO in AVC encoded 1080p high definition widescreen in 1.78.1 just as it was shown on Cinemax when originally broadcast. There's not much to complain about here at all, the episodes all look great in high definition. Some very mild aliasing can be spotted here and there but otherwise the image is strong, nicely detailed and quite colorful. Explosions look great and don't break up into compression artifacts while black levels stay solid throughout without smearing or destroying shadow detail. Skin tones, of which a lot are on display, look lifelike and there's plenty of texture to ogle and detail to appreciate both in the foreground and the background of pretty much every shot.
The primary audio option on this set is an English language DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio mix. Optional subtitles are provided in English SDH, French, Spanish, German, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Norwegian and Swedish and foreign language dubbed tracks are provided in German language DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio, French language DTS 5.1 Surround Sound and Spanish language DTS 2.0 Stereo. That English DTS-HD track though? It's a doozy. The show features plenty of shoot outs and explosions and so we get a lot of rear channel and surround activity throughout the series. The low end offers up some nice rumble to anchor gunshots and explosions without burying the performers while the dialogue stays clean, clear and always discernible. There are no problems with any hiss or distortion anywhere in the mix and the score has some nice resonance to it and is spread out nicely to add some dramatic flair here and there. Some of the quieter moments offer up some nice subtle background details here and there but where the mix is at its best is during the more intense moments of the series - this is good stuff.
As far as the extras for this release are concerned, we get a selection of commentary tracks from audio commentaries:
-Episode Two features input from stars Philip Winchester, Sullivan Stapleton, and executive producer Daniel Perciva
-Episode Four features input from stars Philip Winchester and Liam Cunnigham
-Episode Six features input from stars Philip Winchester and Amanda Mealing
-Episode Eight features input from Sullivan Stapleton, and executive producer Daniel Perciva
-Episode Two features input from stars Philip Winchester, Sullivan Stapleton, Amanda Mealing and executive producer Daniel Perciva
If you dig the series, these commentary tracks are worth listening to. They're fairly candid but not to the point where they get jokey or off track, they stay informative. Topics covered throughout the five tracks include locations, stunts, cast and crew involvement, themes and ideas that run through the series, political inspiration, and more. They won't convince that the series is something that it isn't, but they at least offer up some interesting stories about the making of the show and various bits of trivia.
As this is a combo pack release, a set of DVDs is also included as is a set of digital copies.
Strike Back isn't reinventing action, drama or suspense and it does tend to play to the exploitative traits that Cinemax is known for (it isn't called Skinemax for nothing, you know) but for those who don't need to take everything completely seriously, this show can be a lot of fun. It's fast paced, exciting, tense, violent and sexy and while it might put action and excitement over deep storytelling, it does what it does very well. The Blu-ray set from HBO could have used some more love in the extra features department but is otherwise a very strong release and comes recommended.

There were concerns tonight over what some people thought was some kind of spill in Corpus Christi Bay. We received several calls about a dark circle in the water near Shoreline and the Omni Hotel. It's something that we could see from our Exclusive Lex Cam. Marina Police went to check on it. Turns out, it was nothing to be alarmed about, rather the dark circle was caused naturally.
There is a concrete slab that goes out about 150 feet. The slab is barely covered by the water. When the waves pick up, it washes off the mud from the concrete.
Experts say this is natures way of cleaning it up.

Surfing Mexico
Surfing in Mexico with Team Bekl's Allannah Brown
Surfing Mexico has been a winter reality for Team Bekl surfer Allannah Brown. She's spent the last few months tweaking her skills and having fun on the water before returning to the UK for the 2015 surf season and surf coaching she does. Below, we've shared some of Allannahs personal snaps from her time in Mexico. We didn't want to make you all jealous and all, but seeing as though we've had to endure the gruelling envy, we only thought it right to share 😉
We only wish we could look this cool when we go surfing… the reality is much different! Allannah – Surfing Mexico!
Allannah Brown, UK Womens Surfer, tearing it up!
Carving the water… ! Go Allannah! Girl Power
Making it look easy…
Exhausted after a fun day in the surf. Mexico looks like a bit of a pipe dream! .. Surfing Mexico
Although the weather is pretty awesome in the UK at the moment, we can't help but wish we'd have been for some winter sun too… the idea of surfing Mexico wouldn't have been turned down.
Making friends, surfing waves and enjoying the heat. In the words of Chandler Bing could it BE anymore enviable!?
You can find Allannah on Facebook and Instagram. Visit her website here!

The Journey of Bekl LifeStory Colourful Charms
The Journey of LifeStory Colourful Charms…
We've had a lot of interest in the LifeStory charms from Bekl recently. Now that summer is coming, we thought we'd share with you the secret of our beads, and what makes them special charms. The truth is, these charms have been on a journey all of their own by the time they get to your wrists, and we thought this would make interesting reading for you all!
The colourful charms start their life in Greece. Artisans make each and every bead BY HAND using local clay. The clay is sculpted into 'round' discs and put in a kiln to bake. Once the beads are 'cooked' and cold, the charms are covered in a colourful glaze by hand. This means that each charm created for Bekl is totally unique. The beads often have their own little characteristics – often finger prints and chips too, adding to their character. Sometimes the glaze also 'chunks up' meaning the thickness of beads changes from charm to charm. It's actually very charming 😉
But that's only half the story… once this process has been completed, the charms are then shipped from our artisans in Greece, to good old Blighty, where they are worked on in our Derbyshire workshop! The beads are individually drilled with our diamond drill bit, then polished by hand too… Once all that's done, we lightly sand each of the colourful charms by hand to give that 'seaworn' look. And just like magic, your colourful charms are ready!
So as you can see, it's not just a case of 'we buy the beads and sell them on.' These colourful charms, from the moment they are 'born' are individually crafted by hand at every step of the process. By the time they reach your wrist, they've been on a little journey of their own.
Not only do our charms represent your lifestory through their colours, but they also have stories of adventure to tell of their own, and it's all written into their design…

Our campaign is simple. Tie dye is a technique that has been around, in some forms, since 810AD, meaning it's been a dying technique prominent at many different historical events – like Forrest Gump! The campaign is designed to be quirky and fun and raise awareness of the technique loved my many. It's older than you think!
Make sure you've liked us on Facebook and follow us on twitter for all the latest news for the Tie Dye T-shirts launch on 15/4/15 ! We hope you all love the designs as much as we do…

Since the days that ancient sailors drew crude maps and used a telescope for direction from the stars, travelers have used gadgets. Now, many of our modern navigational tools are at our fingertips with application buttons on smartphones. However, there are still some gadgets that are a must-have for traveling convenience. Below is a list of five travel gadgets you should take on your next trip:
Portable Kensington Notebook Lock
Most people love to travel. Business travel usually requires that one brings along a laptop and various other sensitive data. One laptop is stolen every minute in the United States, according to the FBI statistics. Coffee shops and cafes that offer Internet access are prime targets. By purchasing one of these portable notebook locks, you can ensure that your data is safe and secure. These small cords can carry on easily in a plane or slide in a coat pocket. At around $25 apiece, it is a small price to pay for peace of mind.
Kensington Laptop Lock is available online!
Universal Power Adapter Kit
It never fails; there are separate cords for cell phones, portable DVDs, cameras, and other electronics. If you ever found yourself wishing that one cord fit everything, then you are in luck. The universal power adapter kit comes with several tips that can fit just about any computer or USB plug. At around $200, they will stop the cord mess and give you less stress.
Find an AC Universal Power Adapter Set online
Ultimate Travel Gadgets: In-Car GPS
How did we ever get from point A to point B without a GPS system? The latest systems can find everything from A Starbucks to a McDonald's. Need to find a hotel? It's a breeze. How about searching for a department store. You will literally never be lost again. A simple model can start as low as $70 and they the prices climb up to the $300 range. Though most cell phones have a GPS system on them, it is much easier to have a dedicated devise just for guiding on the car dash.
Swiss Army 1GB USB Flash Drive
It's scissors, a pen, a knife, nail file, screwdriver, light and anything else you can do with it. Of course, no way are they going to let you take this on a plane, right? Wrong. This new gadget detaches from the USB flash drive to make it air travel safe.
Electronic Books On The Go
No more lugging magazines or heavy books through the airport or taking up valuable space in your car. The new electronic books allow you to customize your vacation literature at a moment's notice. Starting at around $150 through $400, these amazing electronic readers have simplified the trip to the library. Simply bring the library with you.

Terry Venables will pick Leeds's team to play Gillingham in tomorrow's FA Cup replay at Elland Road. He will not speak to Peter Ridsdale before the tie and will chat with him afterwards only if he decides to tender his resignation. If Venables walks out on Leeds he will tell the chairman. There will be no consultation.
The bond between Venables and Ridsdale has been irreparably broken by the sale of Jonathan Woodgate to Newcastle about which the manager says he was misled and kept in the dark. Either he or the chairman must go to ease the disunity on a sinking ship.
Until four o'clock last Thursday Venables claims he believed Woodgate would stay. He was then visited by Ridsdale and two directors, David Walker and Steve Harrison, and informed that the defender would be sold.
"Were you told or consulted?" Venables was asked on Saturday. "I was told."
At that moment the divide between manager and chairman became a chasm, Ridsdale having told Venables that the sale of Robbie Fowler to Manchester City would be the end of the selling, and Leeds's future was put into freefall.
Tomorrow night the fans will make it as clear as they did at Goodison Park on Saturday that Venables must stay, Ridsdale must go. Demonstrations are planned before, during and after the game and they are likely to get their wish.
While Venables' tetchy, muddled, brow-beaten air after Saturday's defeat was in stark contrast to his usual polished, confident self, suggesting a mind in turmoil, he has a £2m-a-year contract, has finally won over the fans and, despite a largely inept start at Elland Road, come out of the latest crisis smelling of roses.
In contrast Ridsdale's stock, like the club's share price, is at an all-time low and within a month he is likely to be replaced by a new chief executive to take over the day-to-day running of the club. Relinquishing the chairmanship will be far harder but, having received death threats and acquired three minders and a police escort following last week's upheaval, the strain may become intolerable.
On Saturday Ridsdale was abused by three fans as he made his way to the boardroom. He stopped briefly, ready to reason with them as he had at the same ground last season when Leeds' supporters were haranguing Brian Kidd. This time, though, he seemed to realise he has lost his credibility and avoided conversation.
Leeds captain Dominic Matteo spoke supportively of Ridsdale for taking the tough financial decisions and arguing that "he clearly still wants the best for the club". But Leeds now have a squad who will not compete for a European place this season and a club which, to current players, has become a less desirable place to stay and which, to any potential future arrivals, has slipped even further down their Premiership pecking order. Venables knows the consequences of Woodgate's departure are profound.
"Winning or losing against Gillingham will make no difference to whether I stay or go," he said. "You win and lose 50 times a year. This is not a 50-time-a-year event.
"Whatever I do is not going to be ideal. I've been put in a difficult position and I think that at all times the manager of a football club should know what's going on. On this last situation I have been kept in the dark. Before that, when others have been sold, I have fought them right the way along and my feelings weren't being taken notice of. But this was different as I wasn't aware what was happening and I've got to think that through.
"I can make the decision with the knowledge that I have at the moment," he added pointedly. "I don't need to speak to the chairman or anyone else."
At least on Saturday Venables had the consolation that, for the first time in his six months at Leeds, the supporters sang his name. They sang Ridsdale's name, too, but with chilling animosity. "We are Leeds", they also chanted, as in we the supporters not you the pillaging plc.
Everton's fans joined ironically in the chants of "sack the board", the furthest thing from their minds as they continue to ride high. A goal from Thomas Radzinski after a neat one-two with Li Tie sealed victory after the Canadian had been brought down by Danny Mills for Everton's first goal, a penalty dispatched by David Unsworth. As for Leeds, they rarely threatened.
One player short, you could say, of being a half-decent side.
Man of the match: Thomas Radzinski
A livewire throughout whose pace caused plenty of problems to Leeds's weakened defence. Won the penalty for Everton's first goal and scored the second Best moment: His confident finish into the top corner after linking with the midfielder Li Tie.


text: (The following statement was released by the rating agency) Feb 6 - Fitch Ratings considers the recent announcement that HSBC Holdings plc (rated 'AA-' with Stable Outlook by Fitch) will inject $500 million dollars of capital into its Mexican subsidiary, HSBC Mexico a positive action. The capital injection will strengthen HSBC Mexico's capitalization level and places the bank in a better position to continue growing a base of productive assets, franchise, and business scale. Fitch believes the action does not have a material impact on HSBC Mexico's viability rating (VR) of 'bbb', since most of the capital will be deployed in the near future to increase risky assets and also because the ability of HSBC Mexico's parent to enhance its capital base is already somewhat factored in into its VR of 'bbb'. HSBC's VR is mostly driven by its sound funding and liquidity profiles, comfortable capital position (Fitch Core Capital to risk weighed assets of 10.2% at 3Q'12), and its robust overall franchise. However, the VR is constrained by low profitability (net income to average total assets of 0.8% at 9M'12) and relatively weaker and more volatile asset quality metrics in recent years (impaired to gross loans of 2% and net charge offs to average gross loans of 2.9% at the same date). Fitch does not expect significant and/or immediate changes in these two rating constraints as a result of the recently announced capitalization. The capital injection involves two tranches. The first is a direct increase to the bank's common equity through an issuance of common shares for an amount of $390 million dollars, while the second tranche will be made through a potentially convertible subordinated debt of $110 million dollars with a 10 year tenor. While the proposed notes are dated instruments, these will likely receive a 50% equity credit during the first five years outstanding, due to their loss absorbing features (subordination, coupon omission, and permanence). Coupons and even principal could be deferred well before the bank reaches a non-viability condition. This is in accordance with the relatively stringent regulatory framework that gives loss absorbing elements, but their features are not as robust as mandatorily convertible instruments covered by Basel III, which will likely receive 100% equity credit by Fitch. HSBC Mexico's support rating and Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) reflect the strong propensity of its ultimate parent, HSBC Holdings plc, to provide support to HSBC Mexico, if this were needed. Mexico is a priority growth market for HSBC Holdings, and HSBC Mexico is an strategically important subsidiary, which explains why HSBC Mexico's 'A' rated local currency IDR is the highest among any Mexican bank rated by Fitch in Mexico. HSBC Mexico's 'A-' foreign currency IDR is capped by Mexico's country ceiling. The Stable Outlook on the IDRs reflects the cushion arising from the relatively high rating of its parent. Given Fitch's perception of HSBC Mexico's strategic importance to the group, its IDRs could be as close as one notch below HSBC Holdings' IDR, although HSBC Mexico's IDRs are also limited by sovereign and/or country ceiling considerations. A potential upgrade of Mexico's sovereign rating could positively affect HSBC Mexico's IDRs if the parent is still rated significantly above the sovereign. Conversely, a downgrade of two or more notches in HSBC Holding's IDRs could negatively affect HSBC Mexico's rating and/or rating Outlook. For further information on HSBC Mexico's ratings, please refer to Fitch's press release entitled 'Fitch Affirms HSBC Mexico and its Brokerage Unit Ratings' and dated Aug. 15, 2012. (Caryn Trokie, New York Ratings Unit)

On Wednesday, veteran free agent nose tackle Shaun Rogers will visit with the Kansas City Chiefs, the second team he's spoken to since being cut by the Cleveland Browns last week (the first being the Washington Redskins). But what with it being the offseason, we can't help but continue to wonder whether Rogers could be a fit in Dallas.
If the Cowboys did bring Rogers in, they would almost certainly move Jay Ratliff to nose tackle and there's been no indication from the team to suggest that they would make such a move.
However, the idea that Rogers may be an interesting option for Dallas is supported by a few things, not the least of which is his familiarity with new Cowboys' defensive coordinator Rob Ryan (and his defense), who has spent the past two seasons with Cleveland. Ryan is on record as being a great fan of Rogers' talent, and now, it seems that the feeling is mutual.
"Coach Ryan is great," Rogers said recently, via BloggingTheBoys.com. "If guys like what they see in his brother, they're twins so you're getting the same thing. The level of excitement, the attitude – I want to put this the right way – it's not a bad attitude, but it's that swagger and confidence that they possess and what they do and provide to their defense.
Defenses are built on attitude. Their attitude most definitely carries over to their defenses. As you see his brother was a D-Coordinator to the Ravens and they had a top defense for a long time. He went to the Jets and brought that same attitude and that toughness to their defense. I think Rob most definitely has that ability."

U.S. Rep. John Barrow announced Tuesday that the Federal Emergency Management Agency awarded Planters Electric Membership Corp. a $1.9 million grant for extensive damage caused to the local energy provider's infrastructure from February's ice storm.
Few power companies in the region were left with a more daunting test after the winter storm than Planters 0EMC, a small energy cooperative that serves rural areas of Richmond, Burke, Jenkins, Screven, Emanuel and Bulloch counties.
Planters Electric customers in McBean, a small community in south Augusta, remained without power almost a full week after the storm began.
"The ice storms earlier this year did a lot of damage to our homes and businesses in the 12th District, with many people left without power for several days." Barrow said. "FEMA's job is to help local governments and electric coops pay for catastrophic losses from natural disasters like this, and that helps all of us. PEMC serves thousands of 12th District residents, and this grant helps to ensure that repair costs aren't passed on to the community."
Planters Electric responded to roughly 89 percent of their 13,500 members who were without power from the storm. The company brought in 250 linemen to help its staff of 31 technicians.
"Planters EMC and the families and businesses that we serve are very grateful to Congressman Barrow and FEMA for these funds," said General Manager Matt Brinson. " The electric system we built over the last 75 years was almost completely destroyed by a single storm. These funds will help to pay for the expenses of rebuilding our system, and will allow Planters EMC to continue to provide affordable and reliable electricity to our members."
Barrow said the funds will be disbursed to the State of Georgia and made available to PEMC on a reimbursable basis once they present the state with appropriate documentation.


text: Then what we should really do is address the root cause and ban the sexual victimization in their early life. I think most people would prefer that prostitution and drug addiction didn't exist in our society. However, it does and always will no matter what the laws say. By keeping prostitution illegal, the government pushes them into the shadows so that they cannot seek remedy from the judicial system, for crimes committed against them and thusly invites violence into their lives.

Using Multiple Data Sources to Explore Referral Bias in Respondent Driven Sampling
*M. Giovanna Merli, Duke University
Keywords: social networks, sampling, RDS, female sex workers, China
Respondent Driven Sampling is an increasingly popular method to recruit samples of hidden populations with the aim to provide a probability-based inferential structure for representations of these populations. The validity of the RDS estimates of characteristics of the hidden population rests on stringent theoretical assumptions about the referral practices of participants to new participants and the structure of the underlying social network. We take advantage of unique information, not typically collected or utilized in standard RDS protocols, on the attributes of respondents' network alters and of the relationship between respondents and their alters. This information enables (a) an assessment of respondents' reports on network alters' attributes and relationship attributes; (b) the modeling of the recruitment process through dyad-level logistic choice models of recruitment to characterize mixing patterns of recruitment and identify sources of recruitment bias; (c) the quantification of the amount of bias in the RDS estimates based on a comparison of networks consistent with expected patterns of recruitment in line with RDS assumptions and with actual recruitment patterns.

Friend's E-mail is Invalid
Your message has been successfully sent to your friend.
By Sam Weatherford
I have always had a deep-rooted disdain for collaborating and working in groups. I never played team sports and was not one for board games growing up. I would consistently pick playing with Barbie by myself or reading a book over interacting with my peers. Two younger brothers meant that I rarely had to share, and as the oldest, I often called the shots.
School was not much better. Nothing made me squirm more than a group project. I would pout, shun my partner, and quickly take over the task when a teacher asked me to pair up. I was always of the mindset that others were not going to be as accurate, detailed, or fast as me. You want something done right? Do it yourself! (Are you sensing that I might be a bit of a control freak? Have you ever heard of a Type-A SLP? Never!)
I found in college that most professors really do not care who does the work. They do not want to hear about your martyrdom or listen to you complain about inattentive teammates who talk about weekend plans while you work. Professors are not impressed that you did a whole project alone; they think you are acting like a selfish baby if you grumble about it. I had passive-aggressive thoughts when I came to this realization such as, "Well, I will only do my third of the project, and everyone else better get with it!" This did not go over well because it tends to cause angry, festering feelings among colleagues.
I consistently learned about collaboration as an SLP. Interacting with other SLPs, audiologists, families, school and hospital professionals, patients, and a boatload of other people was about to become a part of my everyday life. Imagine the horror I experienced. Teamwork? Every day?
That is when I realized I needed to put on my big girl shoes and get over it. I am by no means perfect, as it turns out. I do not have an endless supply of creativity, energy, ideas, and I am not an island. Working as a single person and isolating myself as a professional is exhausting. I started actively telling my supervisors that collaboration is a clinical goal of mine, and while I am still learning and growing as a teammate, I have found that the load is a lot lighter when you realize your peers and colleagues have the same goals as you. Your colleagues have great ideas, I promise! Not everyone is a high school student trying to get out of doing work. Patients will get the most optimal services if you talk to the other people working with them.
So if you are a control freak working on becoming a healthcare professional, take a step back and ask: how are my collaborative skills? What are some steps I can take to improve? Your patients' welfare is the highest priority, so if you read this and recognize yourself, maybe it is time to make a change.

Institute of Archaeology
Institute welcomes 2012/13 student cohort
2 October 2012
The Institute of Archaeology welcomed its new student cohort for 2012/13 in a series of introductory events in the first week of the new academic session.
The Institute, which has been celebrating 75 years of leading global archaeology in 2012, is truly international in its outlook and membership. The diversity of the student body ensures a rewarding, stimulating and varied environment for all. It is recognised for the excellence of its teaching and student experience as reflected in its high position in numerous university league tables and National Student Survey results, including 100% for student satisfaction.
268 Masters (MA/MSc) students and 21 new research (MPhil/PhD) students join the Institute community this year from as far afield as America, Canada, Chile, China, Columbia, Egypt, Iran, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Thailand and Taiwan, in addition to 'closer to home' UK and EU students.
Of these 5 MPhil/PhD students have received AHRC doctoral studentships while support is also being received from the ESRC, UCL-Qatar and national funding bodies in Brazil, Portugal and Taiwan.
New Masters students were also successful in obtaining funding with 5 students being awarded AHRC Professional Preparation or Research Preparation Masters Studentships while Robert Kaleta, MSc in GIS and Spatial Analysis in Archaeology, is to be congratulated on receiving the ACE Foundation's Scholarship for 2012/13. The ACE Foundation has a long standing relationship with the Institute and has sponsored an annual award for postgraduate students since 1968. The ACE Foundation funds overseas students who would otherwise not have the opportunity to study in such privileged conditions.
62 new first year undergraduate students also begin their
studies at the Institute this year, hailing largely from the UK/EU but
with some overseas presence, including students from America, Canada
China and Russia. They have just returned from the compulsory Experimental
Archaeology course ('PrimTech') which takes place in the first week of term.
Activities run by staff, research students, undergraduates and friends this year included flint knapping, deer butchery, hide processing, pottery making and firing, copper smelting, bronze casting, spear making, crop processing, landscape walk, basketry and fish traps, faience production, hunting traps, bone-working, phenomenology, making a sauna, erecting a yurt, and the wattle and daubing of last year's bent wood structure.
Each of these activities introduced the students to a wide range of important ancient technologies and to issues such as resource procurement, inter-dependence between crafts and the information that can be recovered from archaeological analysis of the material remains.
Any enquiries about graduate degree programmes and MPhil/PhD opportunities offered by the Institute should be directed to Lisa Daniel while information about the undergraduate degree programmes offered by the Institute is available from Charlotte Frearson.

Q: Fuel pump/fuel level sensor on 2001 Buick LeSabre
I was told I'd have to replace the fuel pump in order to replace the fuel level sensor. I have a late model 2001 Buick LeSabre Custom. Can anyone tell me if this is correct?
They are right but I see AC Delco makes a Fuel Level Sensor kit #SK1030 for about $225 But the pump and sender is located in the fuel tank and its a 1.3 hour job to Remove and Replace the pump. Maybe give a repair shop a call and dicuss this with them http://repairpal.com/buick-repair-in-kenosha-wisconsin
I know I can access the fuel pump/sensor assembly through the trunk.
You can buy just the pump or level sensor. Go to AutoZone

I thought I was buying into solid technology. what I bought was a complete liability with enormous bills the like of which I have never seen in nearly 30 years of motoring.

The Mini Cooper S isn't a highly practical car, having a fairly small boot and harsh ride when fitted with Sports Suspension Plus and 17" wheels. If you're after a performance car that's fun to drive, then these are very minor shortcomings. In fact, the hard suspension gives you even more feel for the road. There's more feedback than the Peugeot 205 or Golf GTI, and it's certainly quicker, especially around the twisties.

Love the Mini Cooper S and think that I will drive it forever! Handling is fantastic - very predictable and fun. Goes round corners like nothing else that I have ever driven. Great performance but gears could be a bit shorter although I think that this is something that has been sorted in the newer models. Still gets peoples heads turning.

After waiting over 14 months for one of the first Cooper S's my first experience of the car was not good. The car did not come fitted with some of the options I had paid for and the bonnet wouldn't shut properly.
As the MINI was a brand new design I was expecting some problems, but actually had surprisingly little trouble over my 20 months of ownership. The car was recalled for a handbrake issue there were a few rattles, and the car would pull to the left. All fixed under… Read Full Review

Had a good long drive along my favourite backroad with the new 170hp Mini Cooper S the other day. Next day, same conditions with a 2002 Peugeot 206 GTI 2,0. Contrary to all the hype-reviews on the Mini, this is what I noticed only while driving the Pug: I was laughing! Why? Because the car was so fantastically entertaining and involving when pushed along this badly surfaced, hilly and curvy strech of road. Steering, front end bite, traction, balance, all helped make it so much more enjoyable… Read Full Review

Friend of Doug digs deep against SoccerCity
Mission Valley developers pour cash into San Diego State measure
Matt Potter 6 p.m., Nov. 21
If nothing else, the timing is interesting. On Thursday, September 8, the great blackout of 2011 swept San Diego County and beyond. The next day, the County's Department of General Services issued a timely "request for quotation" regarding a few pieces of new equipment: one "Portable 35kva emergency generator, or, county approved equal" and two "Portable140kva emergency generators, or, county approved equal"… San Diego city councilman Todd Gloria had a busy first half of the year raising money for his 2012 reelection bid. According to his campaign financial disclosure report filed in July, Democrat Gloria took in $47,034 in cash and $1000 in in-kind contributions and paid out just $2529.72, leaving him with $44,504.28 in the bank. Contributors included Allied Waste's James Ambroso ($300) and Neil R. Mohr ($300); Allied parent Republic Services Inc. general manager Fred Ashford ($250); EDCO Waste president Steve South ($500); Atlas Hotels owner and staunch Republican C. Terry Brown ($500); Evans Hotels chief financial officer Robert Gleason ($500); car dealer Steve Cushman ($500); Stephen Haase, of developer Baldwin & Sons ($500); and Democratic state bullet train boardmember and ex-congresswoman Lynn Schenk ($500).

DALLAS (AP) A former Dallas police officer accused of coaching bank robbers is set to go on trial.
Federal prosecutors say Michael Sillemon choreographed four armed bank robberies and shook down drug dealers on the side; the former veteran officer says he was framed by career criminals.
"He would not plead to anything they had to offer," attorney Anthony Lyons said. Lyons will defend Sillemon when he is tried on nine bank robbery, weapons and fraud charges starting Monday.

12 day itinerary. which jr pass?
My wife and I will travel to Japan and arrive in the evening on October 6th and start our adventure on the 7th. We are after some advice to make the best use of our time in Japan. We will stay in Tokyo till Monday the 12th and then we move to Osaka. From Osaka we will do a day trip to Kyoto and Arima. We then travel back to Tokyo on Friday the 16th and Fly home the night of Sunday the 18th.
Our initial itinerary looks like this
We have requested a Tokyo and Osaka free guide for possibly 5 days but we haven't heard back yet and we really want to finalise our itinerary soon so we can start buying tickets.
We are not sure if we should get a 7 or 14 day jr pass. I want to possibly travel on more than 1 type of bullet train. It's one of my things to do in Japan.
We would love suggestions on making the most out of our day trips to Yokohama, Kyoto and arima.
We have left shrines off our list as we figure we will see lots of them but if there are any suggestions on observation decks and places like the sky tree and how we can best see Tokyo from the various parts of the city we will travel to.
i want to buy a nice knife somewhere.
Tips on buying tickets to Disney, bullet trains, attractions.
Tips on whether there is an advantage to buy tickets like Disney from Australia at a slight premium before we arrive or whether we're better to wait till we get there and buy from local vendors where we might be able to get a bargain. We've had issues with 1 card on the Disney Japan site already.
Any help is appreciated.
Regards Ben and Fiona
Hello Ben and Fiona,
Firstly, sorry for the late replay we had some issues with the website. To start with what JR Pass to use. I think the best option would be to use a 7 day JR Pass and use it to travel to Yokohama, Osaka, Kyoto and back to Tokyo. This way you can cover all expansive Shinkansen travel using the JR Pass.
In terms of a temple visit, I personally the best visit to make is Kiyomizu-Dera in Kyoto. The temple itself is impressive but you also have a beautiful panorama view of the Kyoto skyline.
Arima Onsen is also a great visit. While you can just take the bus there from Kobe/Osaka station. I do recommend traveling at least one way via the Mt. Rokka ropeway that can be accessed from Kobe. This also gives a great view over the Kansai Area.
It is smart to buy a ticket for Disneyland in advance, this will allow you to skip queues on site. For further ideas have a look at this itinerary.
Hope this helps!

WEST PLAINS, Mo. – The Missouri State University-West Plains Grizzly Basketball team picked up its second region win of the season Tuesday night, Jan. 29, when they defeated the Mineral Area College Cardinals of Park Hills, Mo., 60-48 at the West Plains Civic Center.
The Grizzlies are now 2-2 in Region 16 play and 15-9 overall. The Cardinals, who are 18-5 overall, fall to 3-2 in the region. At the top of the region standings are Moberly Area Community College, Moberly, Mo., and State Fair Community College, Sedalia, Mo., both of whom are 3-1 in region play. Three Rivers College in Poplar Bluff, Mo., is 0-5 in the region. The Grizzlies will face Moberly for the first time this season at 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 2, in Moberly.
Despite the 12-point differential, Tuesday's game was close throughout. It wasn't until the last minute of the game that either team held a double digit lead.
"It seems like everyone of our games with Mineral Area comes down to one possession with two to four minutes left in the game," Grizzly Basketball Head Coach Yancey Walker said. "One team either gets a crucial basket or a crucial stop that propels them to the win. At their place, we missed a three when we were down 4 points with a little over two minutes left. Here, we got the stop we needed when we were up 4 points with a little over two minutes left."
From that point, the Grizzlies slowly extended their lead with good defensive effort, effective free throw shooting, big plays in transition and offensive rebounds. They reached the double-digit lead with a slam dunk by freshman forward Malik London about the one minute mark, then sophomore forward Keaton Jackson sealed the win with a dunk of his own on the next play.
"We did a lot better in the second half, especially late, of sharing the basketball. We only had four assists at halftime," Walker said. "The second half also was probably our best half defensively all season. They made some big plays, but we executed our scouting report and rebounded very well. They were only able to get 21 percent of their missed shots, so there were no second chance opportunities. We also guarded their sets the way we were supposed to, and that was a sign of maturity."
The first half, the Grizzlies built a 10-4 early lead before the Cardinals came back to take their own lead. The game continued to be close, with the teams knotted at 20 points a piece with eight minutes remaining. The Grizzlies and Cardinals continued to battle to the end of the period, with the Cardinals going in to halftime with a 31-30 advantage.
"Our first half defense wasn't bad, but we gave up 6 points in transition, and that killed us," Walker said.
Statistically, the Grizzlies shot 21 of 53 from the field for the game for 41.5 percent, four of 20 from 3-point range for 20 percent, and 12 of 18 from the free throw line for 66.7 percent. They also recorded 39 rebounds, nine of which were offensive; 14 assists, 10 of which came in the second half; 12 turnovers; and seven blocks.
Freshman guard Devaugntah Williams led the team in scoring with 16 points. He was followed by freshman guard Arroyo Edwards with 11 points, Jackson 10 and freshman guard Jon Tshibuy 10. Jackson recorded a double-double by adding a team leading 12 rebounds. Tshibuy led the team in assists with six.
Freshman forward Malik London also had a notable performance. He was perfect from the floor, connecting on all three of his shots, and he also had 10 rebounds and four blocks.
"I don't like to single out one person, because everyone contributed in some way; however, I hope that everyone understands that, even though, Malik didn't score in double figures, he made a huge impact on the game. He was perfect from the field, he had double digit rebounds, and he altered many more shots along with the four that he blocked," Walker said.
The Cardinals hit 20 of 59 shots from the field for 33.9 percent, three of 14 3-point shots for 21.4 percent and five of nine free throws for 55.6 percent. They also had 33 rebounds, three assists and 10 turnovers. Leading scorers were D'Angelo Tucker with 15 points and Jay Raulston with 12. Raulston also had eight rebounds.
Walker praised the civic center crowd for its enthusiasm during the contest. "They did a great job tonight, as well," he said.
With Tuesday's win, Walker said the Grizzlies have given themselves a new chance in the region. "We need to go to Moberly on Saturday and play well. They are very good when they dictate tempo, so we need to be able to make plays similar to tonight's and play aggressive defense while finishing with aggressive rebounds," the coach said.

IT WAS a timely visit when three Saints players popped in to a Winchester jewellers.
Justice, in Parchment Street, marked the first anniversary showcasing the Eterna range – a Swiss watch company which dates back to 1856 with a special event in store.
The watch brand is the 'official timekeeper of Southampton Football Club' and so to help mark the occasion, Saints stars Steven Davis, Victor Wanyama and Rickie Lambert were invited to join the celebration.
The trio also got a sneak preview of new additions to the Eterna range while customers got the chance to win box tickets for the clash with Manchester United next month.

Karl Rove clearly enjoyed himself during his live interview with Politico's Mike Allen in downtown Tampa Monday morning. To the delight of the audience, the GOP analyst found ways to inject a dozen zingers and barbs into the hour-long conversation, including some aimed at the host news organization. A few of his best:
1. With utmost irony: "I hate to be critical of the media. It's really a painful thing."
2. Addressing ABC's Jonathan Karl in the audience: "You gotta work on tying that tie, man. That thing is well below your belt. That's just not right."
3. On Obama's campaign: "It has been about my opponent is a weird, rich, vampire capitalist who cannot be trusted anywhere near anything who will steal your money and send it to a Swiss bank account. "
4. To Allen's comment that Rove is well compensated for his work: "None of your damn business."
5. On Vice President Joe Biden's charitable contributions: "I think he's getting his tips on charitable contributions from Hillary Clinton pre-1992. Mark up the underwear and give it to Goodwill."
