When the Weekly last tuned in to KLON-FM's Nothin' But the Blues a year ago, host Gary "The Wagman" Wagner was in a snit. Such a snit, in fact—complaining about how the public jazz station's directors had given short shrift to the blues—that he up and quit, turning the control panel over to veteran bluesman Doug MacLeod, who would now get to select the background music for all those middle-aged weekend SUV warriors and garage putterers.
Trepidation. Would all these blues loyalists who plug into the signal out of Long Beach State from across the country (Nothin' But the Blues sometimes claims the largest listenership of any public radio program) get shrifted, too?
Nothin' like that.
See, MacLeod defines himself as "the antithesis of automated radio." He joins Howlin' Wolf and B.B. King as musicians who've worked as DJs; in the studio, he likens himself to a chef who never serves three courses of the same fare, dropping in something unexpected like a sorbet to cleanse the auditory palate. His blues mentor was a long-lost musician named Ernest Banks, who lectured him, "Don't ever play a note you don't believe, and don't ever sing something you don't know about."
And so when he signs on at 2 p.m., MacLeod comes prepared to play the blues.
He plans only the first four songs, and then he sets up his playlist according to whatever moves him. He's in heaven, rocking and rolling in his chair, shoving this disc into a tray to test out a few bars, setting that old LP on a turntable for the same reason—all just minutes before it goes out on the air.
He's a musical multitasker, pouring himself coffee and answering the request line. He's old-school polite, always trying to oblige if the piece can be found in KLON's library. His voice has the sweet roughness of the honest blues singer—which he just happens to be. He seems steeped in Mississippi mud, but he moves quickly. He swivels over to a sheet of paper to write down the playlist—the artists and their legatees (many of the blues originals being deceased) have to be paid for the air time.
With the expertise of someone with nine richly performed CDs behind him (four electric and five acoustic), he gives me a tutorial in the difference between a dobro and a national, both guitars known for their tin resonators. (On a dobro, beloved of bluegrass pickers, the resonator sits on the guitar's face concavely. On the national, associated with blues players, it bulges slightly off the face. Or do I have that backward?) A 10th CD is due next month. He wrote every song he's recorded, except for one cover of Willie Dixon and one of Muddy Waters.
Improbably, he was born in New York City, grandson of Gaelic folksinger Malcolm MacLeod. His family moved shortly to St. Louis, where the teenaged Doug picked up a bass guitar to ingratiate himself with the black musicians who peopled the bars and dance floors of his youth. He moved on to guitars when he noticed that even ugly guys playing guitars attracted more women than bass players.
He also moved on to Europe, where, like many American bluesmen, he found audiences more receptive—and profitable. He was hosting a Eurojazz radio show when KLON came calling last year. With MacLeod firmly aboard, KLON now calls itself a "jazz and blues" station, and listeners notice a lot more blues coming out of their boxes after MacLeod signs off Saturdays and Sundays at 7 p.m. It seems to go on, mixed in with an array of eclectic sounds, well past midnight.
Like the hilariously earthy "If You See Kay" (say it out loud) by Memphis Slim. We agree that the double-entendres were more fun than the straight-out obscenity of gangsta. He tells me he did some session work for a gangsta artist who really was a gangster; he left the studio hoping the man liked his work. His son Jesse, he says, turned him on to "underground hip-hop," which he appreciates for its more positive thinking; he finds echoes in it of an old artist named R.L. Burnside.
Or maybe it's some gospel, typically on Sundays. That the blues carries a spiritual component is so obvious to MacLeod it's scarcely worth comment. It's not about wallowing in misery; it's about getting through. It's all-American tough-minded optimism. Maybe even pragmatist/pyschologist William James would have liked it.
We're off now on a conversation about "American roots" music: how white players would listen to their black counterparts to pick up basic phrasing, how blacks absorbed Scots-Irish "reels" played throughout Appalachia. MacLeod compares the evolution to the mating ritual of two snakes: weaving together, darting apart. Somewhere in the mid-20th century, he speculates, "society" insisted that country remain country and blues stay blues, never mind the obvious early similarity.

I challenge him to play something by Jimmie "The Blue Yodeler" Rodgers, the godfather of country who popularized some basic blues structures to white listeners back in the 1920s. He promises he will after he gets his audience re-educated. He believes that Americans have been "de-educated" about the blues, notwithstanding the blues boom of the 1990s.
So he's reluctant to play something by, say, the Rolling Stones, even though he allows that if it weren't for the British invasion, too many Americans wouldn't have learned about the blues in the first place. He says—shyly because he doesn't want to report it as fact—that a limo driver once told him Mick Jagger tunes into Nothin' But the Blueswhen he's in LA. Certainly Nothin' But the Bluesis the kind of place Jagger—or anybody who wants their blues more than basic and their roots long and deep—would seek out.
And he won't comment on any of those complaints made by Wagner. As for the Big Wagman Charge—that KLON management grabs "blues" listener pledges and disperses most of the take to non-blues programming—MacLeod acknowledges it happens. It's how management husbands resources, it's not especially controversial, and he goes with the program. As for the rest of it, he just smiles and quotes bluesman James Harman: "There are three sides to every story."
Did I mention he's too damn nice?

I assume Gilles (or his agent) sought to be on DWTS because he felt his appearance could enhance his acting career and public visibility, and it certainly has. So he has gotten out of it all that he hoped for. Melissa was asked to appear on DWTS, which I assume she accepted because it was something fun and exciting, and she was in a position to free up her time to take advantage of a once in a lifetime opportunity. So she has also gotten out of it all that she hoped for.Originally Posted by girlsmom;3454224;

Shear fun: Women open salon in St. Paul Park
Challenging life experiences prompted a new professional challenge for Karyn Wincentsen and Kerri Koch.
The two one-time coworkers became friends and later business partners, recently opening their own full-service salon in St. Paul Park. They started taking clients at their Hairitage Beauty Salon last month.
"We wanted to make our own money," Wincentsen said of the decision to start a business.
Neither woman thought seriously about running a salon before the fall of 2009. Wincentsen had been a stylist for a few years. She met Koch while working at B & G Hair Co. in Cottage Grove, where Koch had spent roughly 17 years. In October 2009, Wincentsen checked herself into treatment for alcoholism, with Koch's urging and support, marking a turning point in Wincentsen's life.
A month later, Koch faced her own personal challenges with the loss of her mother.
The women said those experiences - battling alcoholism and losing a loved one - left them wanting to make a professional change. They talked for months and eventually decided to open their own salon.
"There were just all these signs that we should do it," Wincentsen said.
"It was the impetus to do something different," Koch added of the life changes.
Addressing her alcoholism was a vital step in making a successful career transition, Wincentsen said. She said she is now 18 months sober and "putting all of my energy into positive things."
"I would not have this if I didn't have my sobriety," Wincentsen said. "I wouldn't have been reliable if I wasn't sober."
While Wincentsen and Koch are business partners, they consider Koch's niece, Ashley Grzeskowiak, the salon's third partner. Each woman brought something different to the business venture. Wincentsen is adventurous and gregarious. Koch is more adverse to risk but brought organizational skills that are important when running a business. Grzeskowiak is responsible for much of the "behind the scenes" work, Wincentsen said, including planning the salon's interior design and designing its menu of services and the sign in the window at 465 Broadway Ave., Suite 100.
The women said they spent long hours preparing the salon earlier this year while working full time. In the process they turned a ho-hum office suite into a chic salon that Grzeskowiak described as "clean, sleek and modern." They saved money by purchasing furniture and accessories from Ikea, and did some of the work themselves.
All of the hard work paid off, they said.
"It's fun again," Koch said of being a stylist.
"Our creativity has come out," Wincentsen said.
All three women are Park High School graduates. Koch said many of their clients want to help out a locally owned business.
"We've been finding that a lot," she said of small-town support.
The women offer a variety of salon services, from hair cuts to styling and permanents. They also offer waxing, hair treatments, permanent make-up and hair extensions.
They plan to celebrate their new business with a grand opening event Saturday, April 30. The event will run from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. and will feature food, drinks, samples and discounted services.
For details, call (651) 756-8143.

FR striving for Coax Performance: Trends of Last Decade
Compared with what was commonly available 10-15 years ago in small (3"-4") wide-band drivers, there's been significant performance gains in that size range, particularly in terms of extending the highs without adding a dedicated tweeter. Nevertheless, the very upper range is often still best addressed with a separate HF unit. The need for them is not quite as strong with the improved top end response in many small drivers available, but it hasn't obviated the need for a tweeter altogether. Smaller tweeter designs which don't begin to take on duty at common crossover points, and instead are employed at even higher crossover points, commensurate with the rise mid-bass sized drivers' capabilities now, would seem to me to have a role.
This, however, seems to have been declined in favour of producing mid-bass drivers that attempt to cover a range up to 20khz (see for example the dozens of Tangband drivers of this size which suggest this, and countless othes). Nevertheless, if a more airy, precise and detailed top end be achieved with an uncommon tweeter design utilised solely at the top end (and perhaps its more limited duty also allows for a more compact profile as well), then why isn't this to be found, i.e. why do we not see more 1/2 and 3/4 inch HF units coupling with the ever more capable small mid-bass drivers that have pretensions at covering the frequency spectrum at the top?
Your input and comments are appreciated. Thank you.

As logical as a coax may seem, I am inclined to believe the problems of doppler distortion just makes it harder than we would hope. Basically, a tweeter does not want it's lens moving. I had a set of Kef Q1's for a while. They were worse than the sum of their parts.
Next is marketing. The better of these driver are not cheap. To add a tiny neo magnet tweeter of comparable quality in the middle would be a real trick. The crossover can cost more than the speakers, and in a coax, the customer would expect plug and play. Of curse, if you don't know the baffle, you can't design a crossover.
I have been watching the 3 to 4 inch "fullrange" trend hoping we could get a decent mid out of it, but no, they only give the perception of high frequencies. These things just accentuate the breakup modes to fill the upper octaves with something other than music so you think they have treble. When you push the ability to get down to 120 or so, you will completely loose the ability to get above 4K or so cleanly.It's that little thing called physics. It turns out the old "decade rule of thumb" still holds true. TB could make some killer mid-ranges if they would only try. The market right now does not ask for mids, as the compact 2-way with one inch tweeter does well enough for most.
That's the way I see it.

Would the lens issue and doppler distortion in a coax be less problematic in one that utilises a flatcone for the mid-bass around the HF unit?
The disadvantage points on cost and marketing are quite clear.
Concerning the x-over, with cost considerations left aside for a moment, wouldn't powered speaker designs with active crossovers be capable of fully tailoring the x-over to each specific application using such a coax driver? Such optimal customization with that approach can also include baffle step compensation.

Second one is the easy one. Yes. However, back to marketing. How many successful powered speakers are out there? In theory, it is a far better systems approach as you point out, but packaging and cost makes it impractical. Look how physically large a decent amp is. Can you picture building in a Parasound 1200 into a 20L monitor? People will spend $1000 on an amp, and $1000 on a pair of speakers, but run from a $1800 set of powered speakers as they are too expensive. Humans are not always too smart. Almost all speakers are plugged into AVR's that have the amps built in and are not expecting to do the crossover work and power independent drivers. ( Oh how I WISH I could access all 9 amps in my Denon).
First question. Well, flat-cones have so far mostly not worked very well. Those horribly expensive ceramic ones are getting darn good though. So, flat means no lens effect and you lose the efficiency gain with the attendant lower distortion. Instead it is the effect of the baffle modulating. At any frequency below when the driver starts beaming, I would think it would still cause the same basic problem. Another problem I can think of, qualifying this as not being a driver designer, is the change in the interface between tweeter and mid. This is something the good Dr. Earl comments on in his designs addressing the diaphragm to horn transition better. Having it dynamic can't be good. In short, interesting idea. It would change the problem a bit, but I am not sure it would be any more manageable.
Hasn't someone made some sort of pancake concentric ring radiator? Anyone know about it or how well it works? Thinking further, that is exactly what Peter Walker did. Can't argue with the midrange of a Quad. Think I'll sleep on that and see what other ideas come up across the world.

In 1968 Los Angeles, hair stylist George Roundy's late night romantic tryst with wealthy Felicia Carr is interrupted by a telephone call from George's actress girlfriend, Jill. Telling Felicia he must visit a sick friend, George hastens to Jill's house, where she is in the midst of a panic attack after having heard gunshots. George cooks Jill a late night snack and confides that he is nervous about his appointment at the bank for a loan to start his own salon. Jill reflects that she is nearing thirty when it will be too late to have children, then adds that her best friend, Jackie Shawn, does not believe in adding to an over populated world. After spending the rest of the night with Jill, George drives his motorcycle to the bank where he is baffled by vice president R. J. Pettis's discussion of loan rates. When Pettis asks George for references, he replies that he does the hair of actress Barbara Rush. Realizing that George has no financial references at all, Pettis becomes officious and George departs in anger realizing he will not get the loan. Later, Jill meets with her agent, and film director Johnny Pope about a part. Initially excited about the role, Jill hesitates when Johnny reveals that the film will be shot over several weeks in Egypt. Later, Jill lunches with Jackie, who sympathizes about George. Jackie, who used to date George, reflects that he is too irresponsible and she is more comfortable being involved with Felicia's older husband, Lester. That afternoon George goes to the salon where he puts off Felicia's inquiries about the night before. Distracted by the numerous clients around him, George barely acknowledges Jill when she arrives to inquire about the bank interview and to ask if he would mind her taking a job for several weeks in Egypt. Salon owner Norman scolds George for his careless attitude and, frustrated by George's inattentiveness, Jill leaves. Having overheard their conversation, Felicia asks George about the bank visit and advises him to see Lester for a loan. Although surprised, George agrees and soon after meets Lester in his office. Uncomfortable with a man being a hairdresser, Lester admits that he does not usually invest in small businesses. Moments later, Jackie bursts into the office demanding the key to Lester's Bel Air house. Although taken aback to see George, Jackie assures Lester that George is a great stylist. Moments later in private, Jackie complains that Lester treats her like a prisoner and he agrees to take her to a party that night to watch the presidential election returns. Lester then asks George to the party and asks if he can escort Jackie as he must go directly from work. In the garage, George confronts Jackie about being with Lester and reproaches her for not having told Lester about their earlier relationship. When Jackie wonders who George has been sleeping with in order to rate an introduction to Lester, he angrily insists that he does not have sex for money but only for fun. When Jackie remains silent, George offers to style her hair. Later that afternoon, George leaves a client at the salon with assistant Ricci when Jackie telephones. At Lester's Bel Air house, Jackie insists she must look stunning that evening as it is the first time she will be at a party attended by Felicia. Although George refuses to admit it, Jackie quickly deduces that he has slept with Felicia, but is surprised by the resumption of her attraction to George. The couple kisses only to be interrupted by the unexpected arrival of Lester. George pretends to be gay, confirming an earlier suspicion of Lester's. Meanwhile, still angry with George, Jill agrees to dine with Johnny Pope when he calls. Hastily leaving Jackie's, George hurries to Felicia's home to complete her hairstyle for the evening, but finding her absent, chats with her seventeen year-old daughter, Lorna. Suspecting that her mother is having an affair with George, Lorna blatantly asks him if he would like to have sex and George agrees. When Felicia arrives, she ignores the situation and drags George off to her bedroom. Later, at Jill's, when George reveals that he did not get the bank loan and is unsure if Lester will help, Jill criticizes him for refusing to behave like an adult. Minutes later, George leaves the room and Jill finds an unfamiliar earring where he was sitting. That evening as George and Jackie drive to the party, George admits that he is annoyed that Jill has invited Johnny to the event. Arriving at the party simultaneously, Jill and Johnny, George and Jackie are greeted by Lester, but in his anxiety to act normal around Felicia, he forgets that Jill is Jackie's best friend. Seeing Felicia approaching, Lester quickly whispers to George to take care of Jackie and to see that she does not drink. After Felicia greets George with a sensuous kiss, he introduces Jackie, prompting Felicia to retreat, overwhelmed by Jackie's beauty. Disturbed by Lester's coolness to her and Felicia's possessiveness of George, Jackie begins drinking while both Jill and Lester advise George to intercede. When the tipsy Jackie makes a scene with George, he decides they should leave. As Lester watches them anxiously, Felicia surprises him by declaring that she has realized he is having an affair with Jackie and warns that she will be expensive. Still assuming that George is gay, Lester is puzzled when Felicia further observes that George will surely try to seduce Jackie. George takes Jackie to a hip party at a wealthy private home filled with young people drinking and taking drugs. Gradually sobering, Jackie admits to George that what annoyed her most about him was not his inability to commit or take care of her, but his constant state of happiness which she found unrealistic. Undaunted George admits that she is the only woman he has ever felt completely comfortable with and can see himself growing old with her, but not Jill. Meanwhile, Lester's restaurant party is broken up when a small fire forces an evacuation of the building. Abandoned by Felicia who has taken his car, Lester asks for a ride with Jill and Johnny who head to the same private party George and Jackie are attending. While George and Jackie disappear into an empty club house to make love, Jill, Johnny and Lester stroll about the grounds. Invited to a hot tub by a young couple, Lester is directed to the clubhouse for a towel and arrives at the same time as Jill and Johnny. Seeing a couple having sex in the darkness of the clubhouse, all three stare until a refrigerator door pops open, sending a beam of light onto George and Jackie. Outraged, Jill hurls a lawn chair through the double doors and storms away. George rushes after her, then back to Jackie but both women drive away in opposite directions. George then returns to Jill's house, where he tries in vain to contact Jackie. The following morning, Johnny drops Jill at her home and she tells George that she does not wish to fight. Handing him the earring she discovered the previous day, Jill demands to know how many other women he has been seeing. Uncomfortable, then angry, George admits that he sleeps with women constantly, and admits that being surrounded by women was the motivating force for becoming a hairdresser. After declaring there is no need for him to apologize, George is nevertheless surprised when Jill thanks him for his honesty and asks him to leave. Moments later Johnny telephones to check on Jill. George returns to his small cottage to find Lester and two private security men waiting. Unconcerned, George tells Lester that if he ever listened to Felicia or Jackie he would discover that, like most women, all they are concerned about is how men use them. Feigning indifference to Jackie, Lester calls her a whore, but George insists that she really cares for Lester. The men share a drink and Lester promises to provide George with the money for his shop. Later at the salon, George is unexpectedly shaken when Norman receives news that his son has died in a car accident. Impulsively, George hastens to see Jackie and finds her packed and preparing to go away with Lester. When George refuses to leave, Jackie flees in her car and George chases her to the top of the canyon. As the couple stands overlooking Jackie's house, they see Lester's car approaching and George proposes to Jackie. Admitting that Lester has left Felicia and asked her to marry him, Jackie tells George that it is too late. Despite his pleas, Jackie drives back down the hill to Lester and George watches them drive away together.

According to a 21 Feb 1974
news item,
was turned down by several studios before producer-co-writer and star Warren Beatty negotiated successfully with Columbia. The item, as well as an 8 Mar 1974
item, noted that Beatty had already signed co-stars Julie Christie, Goldie Hawn and director Hal Ashby at the time of the deal with Columbia. A 12 Apr 1974
news item stated that Jaye P. Morgan had been signed for a "non-singing" role in
and several modern sources list her in off-screen credits, however her appearance in the released film has not been confirmed.
marked the feature film debut of Carrie Fisher. Co-writer Robert Towne makes a cameo appearance in the film as a guest at the private party.
A 28 Feb 1975
article on the film speculated that "George Roundy" was based on various well known Beverly Hills hair stylists, including Gene Shacove, who served as a technical consultant on the film. Other stylists mentioned were Richard Alcala, whose wife Carrie White also served as a technical adviser, Paul McGregor, George Masters and the late Jay Sebring. In the article, Shacove states that co-writer Robert Towne lived with him for a period of time and he believed that George was a composite of Sebring, Masters and himself as the three men were at their peak popularity in 1968, the year in which
is set.
A 19 Jun 1976
article revealed that former manicurist Bernice Mann had filed a plagiarism suit against the producers and writers of
for five million dollars and a share of the picture's profits. According to the article, Mann had "registered a script called
with the WGA West in Oct 1969." According to a 5 Jun 1979
article, after a fourteen day trial and three days of deliberation, a jury ruled in favor of Mann, declaring that portions of her script had been incorporated into the
script. Mann was awarded $185,000. A little more than a month later, a 12 Jul 1979
reported that a Superior Court judge had overturned the decision, declaring that "Towne's 1970 version of the movie script was an independent effort" and that "Mann had failed to prove any implied contract between herself and the filmmakers." Mann's attorney immediately appealed the reversal. A 10 Aug 1981
article revealed that Mann's appeal had reached an appellate court. The article stated that testimony presented in court revealed that Mann had submitted a script and a separate treatment to a Columbia script reader in 1973. The script had no connections to
, but Mann's attorney insisted the treatment had a "similarity of characters (and) events." The article noted that the suit had been watched with great interest in Hollywood because of the copyright infringement implications. A 4 Dec 1981
article noted that a California Court of Appeal had upheld the reversal in "an important decision that will make it much tougher to prove creative ideas have been stolen." The article also clarified that, "Though often popularly referred to as a 'plagiarism' case, the
case never really was since Mann had only submitted an idea for a film and plagiarism laws only protect specific creative expressions and not ideas." A key element in the court's consideration was "the plaintiff's failure to prove that Columbia had ever accepted her work." The case was viewed as a victory which defense attorneys defined as "(a) decision that leaves plaintiffs in future suits 'an awful lot to prove.'"
A 24 Aug 1978
news item reported that director Ashby had been sued by International Creative Management for $100,000 for refusing to pay their full commission for his directorial services on
. An outcome to the suit has not been determined.
A 2 Jun 1975
news item noted that in three months after it's release

T-Rex 550 3G FBL (BNF) (Entertaining Offers)(SOLD)
This is my current offering, this is a NEW, politely upgraded, professionally build T-Rex 550 3G FBL version (BNF). I built this helicopter to sell on 05-29-11, its the newest release kit put out by Align. I enjoy putting in the tedious time it takes to build one right. I really do enjoy offering what many would consider some of the best built and set up helicopters out there. The frame is squared & aligned, everything is loctited & lubed where is supposed to be, the wires are wrapped with high grade PowerBraid wrap. The servos and head arms are set at 90 degrees at mid stick. The collective pitch is at +15/-15 with an amazing cyclic rate. The helicopter has 5 flights on it to make sure its properly set up and dialed in. It is set up to run on 6S. I have upgraded the anti rotation and tail support with CNC parts and upgraded the tail fins to 90mm for added stability. This thing is steady as a rock but will go from mild to wild in the bang of a stick.
It will ship Priority Mail USPS and should arrive in 3 days, it will have tracking and insurance that you will receive the day it ships. It will ship the day payment is made as long as the post office is open.
When you buy a helicopter from me the transaction doesnt stop at the sale, I will be available all the way thru your first flight or further if needed. My goal is to put out the best built helicopter as possible at an affordable price. This is one bird you will be proud to own. This helicopter was set up on a DX7 and I can provide you with the settings in the form of a spreadsheet with instructions on how to enter them and a copy of the settings will be shipped with the helicopter.
I dont mind giving my time away for almost nothing, right now Im having fun. Do your homework, Im not selling this helicopter to take a loss, Im doing it to make sure you get an awesome bird that is built right because thats what you deserve ! Check my feedback and my gallery if you get a chance.
I will answer all PMs and appreciate all comments
Asking $990.00 includes PayPal fees and shipping as described above in the CONTUS. If you pick it up locally deduct $65.00
Whats included:
T-Rex 550 3G CF Airframe
DS610 Cyclic Servos

I have been looking for a 550 and after first glance, I was just going to pass this listing up all together; but since you ask for comments, I will pose my questions and find out what the answers are. If you dont like my questions, feel free to delete this post:
You talk a big game on how this is "professionally built" and "best built"; kinda seems to me like blowing smoke considering you have zero posts on RCG and zero Trader Rating. You ask prospective buyers to check your feedback and your gallery, I dont see any RCG feedback or trader ratings or gallery or anything. Were you going to provide a link to another site for feedback or something?
Any testimonials from others that have bought from you?
I already know that I will not be buying this from you because you priced it out of my budget. But if those questions crossed my mind, others may have thought about it as well; answering the feedback issue may help you find your buyer.
Reply to comment
First of all, I would NEVER delete a post good or bad, what kind of respect would I be displaying if I deleted negative comments, my goal is to have no negativity, I dont see this as negative, I see it as constructive. I try hard on all the forums to be an honest and honorable person.
Thank you for looking at the post and taking the time to post a reply, your time is important to me. My apologies to RCG users that I dont have feed back or a trader rating and that the ad says to check it. I created the ad in word and posted the same ad in all 4 forums, Runryder, HeliFreak, RCG and RC Universe. I started my endeavor in Runryder so my gallery and feed back is mostly there but exists in HF as well. I use the same user name rapyd in all of them so you can check them all. That is my mistake for posting a general ad, it will not happen again. I will not change the ad to reflect the proper wording because I think your post and my response should be seen by anybody interested.
I do talk a good game, a great game. At least you didnt look at the build and find something that I missed or didnt meet your standards. I have been doing this for a few years for very close friends and decided to put my work out there for others to see and benefit from. I have builds going on for people that search me out, you can see this work at my RR gallery, Im trying to keep up with all the posting but holding an 8 hour a day job, the forums, the building and shipping its tough as you can imagine. Maybe I bit off more than I can chew but for now Im having fun.
Again, I want to thank you for taking the time to comment on this post and if you get the chance or are curious to check me out on the other sites id appreciate it.
Well thank you for the thoughtful reply; and I am glad to see my questions were not taken in a negative light. I just thought clarifying that feedback issue would give you a lot more credibility for other prosepective buyers and wanted to be constructive with my comments.
The way you handled my questions was more than appropriate and should clear up any confusion. I wish you the best of luck with your sale and look to do some business with you in the future
Trader Rating: 219
I'm going to jump in here and back up Dave with my feedback.......
If you need support or help the Heli is priceless.....
His response to the last post is just an example of his generosity,patience,experience.
If your looking for a Align Heli of any size built correctly then don't hesitate to buy from him.....
Gentleman, this is what its about.. Camaraderie and mutual respect, which I do have for you too. There is a lot of %^#^%$*( being put out there when it comes to people saying they are building quality helicopters, Ive seen a bunch of it. My goal is to exceed your expectations when it comes to a build. I believe I have exceeded everyones expectations when it comes to my builds. I am not without fault though, I WILL jump thru every hoop possible to make sure someone is satisfied with their purchase or experience with me.
I'll back Dave also here, no problem
On Heli Freak I bought last week a 500ESP Align off him, that was a BNF
Heli arrived today and is perfect, and as promised
His workmanship is top notch, and his build quality is excellent
I have 36+ feedback here, and 743+ feedback on EBay
So when you have 743+ feedback on Ebay, and can recommend someone, unless you have more credentials then me, which I highly doubt, you can bring your recommendation
So for now , +1 on recommending Dave and good luck with your sale
BTW, I all most bought this heli last week off him, but decided to go with the 500ESP as this was my first CP heli
Thanks again, and good luck with your sale

This thread alone is awesomeness. Good luck with your sale Dave.. BTW: The Chrome background is a awesome way to promote the trex 550.
Trader Rating: 198
Thank you. I try... You know it takes me about 10 hours to build one of these things, Im not slow but Im carefule. I want the heli to turn out just right, from the way the heat shrink grabs the wire to the length of each PowerBraid, to shimming the main shaft to not loctiting what I know has to be disasembled for shipping and on and on. People that buy these from me see it first hand the most when they see it in there hands. When they put it in the air they know it was done right.
Thank you to all

6/18/10 New York City, New York –
Before getting in depth about the Isis' performance, let me say that Isis are without a doubt one of the most consistent bands this decade has seen. In fact, they are generally the first act linked with quality post-metal, as their influence has been that defining. After all, they practically own the genre. It all started with their first full-length, way back in 2000, when the gritty and often brutal Celestial was released, but the tidal wave of followers had not come until after Oceanic dropped in 2002. Ever since, Isis never looked back at what they were doing and how they approached their music, until last month, May 18th to be exact. That date was the end of Isis and the end of an era, and they certainly were not leaving quietly.
Due to Webster Hall's petty dance parties that begin at 11:00 P.M., the show started and ended rather early, and Isis took much of the grunt from that(approximately three songs cut short from their standard tour setlist). Unlike many bands, Isis performed their own soundcheck and set up most of their equipment, showing their business-like approach to shows. Once everything was in place, they wasted no time, beginning with the tremendous closer from Wavering Radiant, "Threshold of Transformation." From that moment on, the crowd moved with every beat and crushing riff, and while Isis hardly prance around on stage, they are fully enveloped in each song, headbanging as far back and as far forward as humanly possible while still executing cleanly and precisely. Their movements were synced with each dynamic change, whether slowly swaying or losing their shit completely.
To put it loosely, it was a marvelous sight that they still held a wealth of emotion for the songs they wrote. But more importantly, coming into tonight, Isis could have easily played their most recent tracks, however they strayed away from a solitary set, and picked absolute gems from their best albums. The only track played from In The Absence Of Truth was "Not In Rivers, But In Drops," while they went with "In Fiction" and "So Did We" off Panopticon. During "Not In Rivers, But In Drops," Webster Hall exploded during each dramatic build up. Meanwhile, fans went into a frenzy during the colossal track that likely made them fall in love with the band, "So Did We." Fittingly enough, Isis closed the set with the opener off Oceanic, "The Beginning And The End," and this is when we knew it would be their last hurrah. And so they played, with that burning fire in their heart and the passion that produced such cornerstone albums. Before I knew it, Isis were closing up shop and Aaron Turner's had a select closing remark before their final track, 'There's a lot of fear and hatred going on around the world, so try to love each other.'
While it is sad to see such a premier act go, Turner made an important point in their closing note, stating it is better to break up before everything goes wry, or even allowing that possibility. Isis left New York City with a bang and nothing was left behind, just the way they intended.
Isis – In Fiction
Set list:
- Threshold Of Transformation
- (Collapse And Crush or 20 Minutes / 40 Years)
- Not In Rivers, But In Drops
- Ghost Key
- In Fiction
- So Did We

The captaincy debate in South Africa rages on after the team's dismal performance in the group stage.
One thing is certain, heads will roll and the prime target seems to be captain Shaun Pollock.
For long, Pollock has been regarded as not a very good captain. The shadow of Hansie Cronje's reign was always one he wanted to out-run.
Pollock normally dismissed all talk of that but the controversy re-emerged during the on-going World Cup when Herschelle Gibbs raised questions on Pollock's captaincy.
The controversy died down then but now it has reared it's with renewed vigour.
Graeme Smith and Neil McKenzie have been touted as potential replacements for the beleaguered skipper.
But South African batting legend Barry Richards says, "The two have to become automatic selections in the side before they can be considered for captaincy."
"I have a soft corner for Shaun and like him but have always felt that captaincy was thrust upon Pollock when he was not quite ready. He always seemed a reluctant captain, not quite cut-out for the job but one thing is certain that whoever gets the job has to deal with a lot of pressure," he added.
The South African media, who have seen McKenzie captain the Northern Titans and the South African 'A' team, reckon he is good. He is a good player of fast bowling, but his technique against spinners is a worry. As captain he would have to be sure of his place in the squad.
Smith, on the other hand, is a young attacking player and most in South Africa reckon he should get his chance now, before the fire dies down.
Former South African captain Kepler Wessels feels all talk of a replacement is premature.
"It is too early for Smith to take over. He is a good aggressive young batsman but he needs to cement his place in the side. While McKenzie is not even in the team," he added.
"If the selectors are sensible then they should give Pollock another 12 months on the job and back him up with good coaching staff," said Kepler.
Convenor of selectors, Omar Henry backs Pollock completely.
"Cronje lost two World Cups but was regarded as one of South Africa's best captains. Pollock has only lost one and people are writing him off already. People are allowed to have opinions but they are not necessarily mine," he added.
Henry also feels leadership is as much of a game as batting, bowling and fielding.
"Planning is an integral part of South Africa and when the Cronje scandal broke, we had nowhere to go. We offered the captaincy to Pollock and he took it up."
So do he select a captain first and then the team or vice-versa?
"It's a Catch-22 situation. But if that team can carry a good captain then why not?"

There is a basic progression that Hollywood tends to follow when releasing trailers for blockbuster films. First comes the teaser, which is simply met to whet your appetite. Next is the first full trailer, which lets you watch a bit of the action but typically stays short on story. Finally, the second full trailer strikes a balance between plot and action, letting audiences get an idea as to what they will be watching when they enter the theater. Apparently nobody told the people behind The Expendables about this.
IGN has posted the second feature trailer for the film and it's a teaser trailer. Not "like" a teaser trailer, but a honest-to-God teaser trailer. Shorter than both the first and second previews, the one minute video doesn't show any footage from the film, only reflections of the characters off of a metal skull. There is a pretty cool monologue by Stallone over the first half that makes it worth watching, but it's questionable why they didn't release this months before the previous two. It should also be noted that they once again show off Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis just in case you missed them the first time around. Remember when trailers used to hide things from the audience? I sure don't.
Check out the trailer below.

Nelson, 76, addresses the council
regularly during the public comments section of the council agenda.
Since filing for office, Nelson has been told twice he could not make
any remarks to the council unless they involved an agenda item.
Dilapidated buildings and abandoned
structures are routinely considered by the council.
In a letter to Oklahoma Gazette, Nelson
wrote, "They (city officials) insulted me and refused to allow me
to speak before the council on matters that were in fact part of
today's agenda."
Nelson wrote he wanted to address the
council about the same concerns Ward 3 Councilmen Larry McAtee and
Ward 4 Councilman Pete White had aired in previous meetings regarding
the large number of dilapidated structures in OKC.
Assistant Municipal Counselor Rick
Smith said city policy prohibits mayoral candidates from making
political speeches or comments during city council meetings.
Smith was unaware when the policy was
"I guess since candidates for
political office tried to make speeches," he said. "Sir, I don't
know. I don't have a date for it."
According to Smith, Nelson could only
speak about one of the three dilapidated buildings on Tuesday's
agenda, and not the city's overall program of enforcing the
dilapidated structure ordinance.
"If this is what politics is all
about, it's no wonder people don't get involved," Nelson said.
"They, in effect, barricaded me from going into the council meeting
and I was told to leave."
Nelson claims he left city hall on his
own to avoid a public confrontation.
Nelson, a retired general contractor,
is one of four candidates seeking the mayor's post, including
incumbent Mick Cornett and Ward 2 Councilman Ed Shadid. The fourth
candidate is Phil Hughes.
Nelson contends Cornett and Shadid make
comments at every council meeting that are not related to an agenda
"They can say anything they want, but
not me," he said. "They want to keep me down. But I am going to
speak before this council as a citizen. It's my absolute right to
do so, especially where the people of this city and their rights are
also concerned."
Citizens who want
to address the council must fill out a speaker's form with their
name, address, telephone number and reason for appearing. Each
citizen is given three minutes to address the council.

The Major League Baseball season is down to a matter of hours, not days, and much remains unresolved. Not a single wild card berth has been clinched in either league, as four teams are bunched within 1 ½ games for two American League spots, while the three-team shootout in the National League remains at an impasse.
Saturday's games could bring significant resolution – or bring us one step closer to 72 hours of chaos before the wild card games even commence.
A guide to all the playoff scenarios for Saturday:
AL wild card
Standings entering Saturday:
Baltimore Orioles 88 72 .550 +1
Toronto Blue Jays 87 73 .544 -
Detroit Tigers 86 73 .541 0.5
Seattle Mariners 86 74 .538 1
Saturday's relevant games (all times PM ET):
Orioles (Wade Miley) at Yankees (Luis Severino), 4:05
Blue Jays (J.A. Happ) at Red Sox (Eduardo Rodriguez), 7:10
Tigers (Jordan Zimmermann) at Braves (Aaron Blair), 7:10
Athletics (Jharel Cotton) at Mariners (Hisashi Iwakuma), 10:10
Outlook: There's only one scenario in which a team can secure a playoff berth Saturday: The Orioles win at Yankee Stadium, and the Tigers lose at Atlanta.
And with the Tigers now tied with the Blue Jays in the loss column, it's almost a certainty Detroit will return home and make up a rained-out game against Cleveland on Monday.
The only situations in which that game doesn't get played:
- The Blue Jays win twice and Tigers lose twice, or vice versa, ensuring one of those clubs earns at least the second wild card. Also, if the Blue Jays win twice and Tigers lose once, the Tigers could not catch the Blue Jays.
- The Orioles win at least one more game than the Tigers Saturday and Sunday.
- The Mariners lose at least once, and the Tigers win at least once.
The Tigers do control their own destiny: If they win out in Atlanta and beat Cleveland on Monday, they at least ensure a play-in game for the second wild card slot. And that could create a zany four games, four cities, four days scenario:
- Sunday at Atlanta
- Monday vs. Cleveland at Comerica Park
- Tuesday at Toronto, tiebreaker
- Wednesday at Baltimore, wild card game
Only Baltimore has the simplest scenario: Win twice and it's in. Lose once, and it leaves the door wide open for two-, three- or even four-team tiebreakers, pushing the start of the AL playoffs into the middle of next week.
Want to figure out those scenarios? We have you covered right here.
NL wild card
Standings entering Saturday
New York Mets 86 74 .538 +1
San Francisco Giants 85 75 .531 -
St. Louis Cardinals 84 76 .525 1
Saturday's relevant games:
Mets (Bartolo Colon) at Phillies (Phil Klein), 1:05
Pirates (Chad Kuhl) at Cardinals (Michael Wacha), 1:05
Dodgers (Clayton Kershaw) at Giants (Ty Blach), 4:05
Outlook: There's only one certainty here: The Mets' season will not end Sunday, a scenario about as likely as Colon emerging as their most dependable starter. Yet, here we are.
The burly Colon, 43, can pitch New York back into the postseason by beating the Phillies today, but even if the Mets lose two and the Cardinals win two, they'll get a tiebreaker game out of it at the worst.
This race can be done before the sun sets on AT&T Park tonight, or it could stretch into midweek. The Cardinals hold the key: They win, and it forces the Giants to play a relevant Game 162 on Sunday
A Cardinals loss and Giants win, and we can get ready for Madison Bumgarner vs. Noah Syndergaard, Wednesday night at, most likely, Citi Field.
Home-field advantage
This, too, is clearing up. The Texas Rangers will have home-field advantage all the way through the World Series, and will host the AL wild card winner, most likely Thursday.
Boston-Cleveland is locked in as the other AL Division Series. The Red Sox can clinch home field with a win over Toronto or a Cleveland loss to Kansas City today.
In the National League, the Cubs have iced home field advantage through the NLCS and will play the wild card winner. A Washington Nationals win or a Dodgers loss ensures that NL Division Series will open in the District of Columbia.

I always wondered why my HD2 did not come with a replacment app for the stock tasks application, especially since Sense replaces almost everything. Anyway, I downloaded eboelzner's Sense SDK and startet writing this little app today.
- Windows Phone 6.x
- .netCF 3.5
- (W|Q)VGA device
- Add Task
- Localization (English, German, Spanish; auto-detect language)
- Sense UI
- change task status
- change importance
- change subject
- Settings
- Change other task properties (description, due date, etc.)
- maybe other languages
- images showing importance
Oh and I would be glad if someone could take a look at my Spanish localization and tell me if something's wrong (my grammar is miserable and I'm not familiar with the Spanish techno-babble) and maybe somebody wants to translate this into other languages as well. So please contact me via PM if you are interested in helping me.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Another Chance 4 Horses Inc, Bernville, PA, USA
First off Ms. Schrock is not telling the truth as per usual. Christy's farm is in Pa. The Pocono's in Pa are not several hundred miles as Sally has mentioned in this article from AC4H in Bernville. Please take a moment and look up Sally Schrock or Sarah Schrock on Google she has scammed so many people it isn't funny any more. She is damaging all rescues. Dog and horse rescue. Sally is supported by many fake rescues. She is their mouthpiece and is used as a weapon against AC4H. Sally has even taken to harassing and stalking Christy's minor children. She is truly a sick individual. I have done my research on AC4H and their is NO proof of any wrong doing. This is just an attempt to assassinate Christy and the rescue by some people that really have some serious mental issues.

Rule 1. Always pop. Some piece – whether it's your shoes, shirt, or even an accessory like a like a watch – must stand out. Women pay particular attention to shoes, and thus a vividly-colored pair of Sauc0ny trainers will make you stand out, and add excitement to a pair of blue jeans. Wearing these shoes St. Patrick's Day would have gotten you pinched for the right reasons.
Rule 2. Invite touching. Your clothing should be soft fabrics that make a woman want to touch you. Cardigans work really well. Feel the fabric before purchasing a new garment. Ask yourself, "Would a woman want to put her soft skin next to this?"
Remember, too, that women are like ferrets. They like shiny objects, and enjoy fiddling with their man. A shirt with a lot of buttons and layers invites them to touch you.
Rule 3. Dress up your strengths. If you're muscular or have a modelesque body, wear tapered shirts. Often many shirts will have too much fabric around the waist, making you look blocky rather than buff. Take your shirts to a tailor. The alteration will only cost $10-15, and will make a huge difference in how the shirt looks and feels.
Rule 4. Dress down your weaknesses. If you're skinny or less muscular, wear tighter clothing. Although it's counter-intuitive, baggy or non-form-fitting clothing makes you look smaller. Baggy clothing won't conform to your body, and will make you look like a thin rail covered by a sheet. Thinner men should also layer their clothing, as the extra attention to fabric will draw more attention to the clothing than to any physical shortcomings.
Do you notice that this guy might weigh a buck fifty? Nope. His clothing attracts attention to itself, and thus draws in women.
Rule 5. Dress for your (skin) color. Purple looks phenomenal on black guys, but silly on red-haired men. If you have blue eyes, wear blue shirts to highlight the color of your eyes. Dressing for your skin color could be an entire article. In fact, there's a book written about it. Find a copy Color for Men and match the clothing your wear to your skin tone and complexion.

By RUTH ABREO
For The Union Democrat
This report covers local scores from Dec. 2-9 at Black Oak Lanes.
At last, a few 700 series were bowled. The highest was rolled by Bobby Papapetrou, of the Monday Nevada league, with a 726.
He also had the high game for this report, a 278, which could have been higher except for that bleeping 10 pin in the third frame. He did pick up the spare for a "Clean" game.
Mary Feola (Jokers Wild) had both the high game and series for women with a 258/656. Her game was 78 pins over her average.
There were two other 700 series for this report – Robert Porovich (Monday Nevada) with a 716 and and Jim Simmons (Monday Nevada) with a 700.
In the Morning Rollers league, the Sparks (Rod) seemed to have sparked the Starks (Betty and Gary) to roll reportable games. Great going! See all the league scores on Page C2.
Other notable scores include:Black Oak Seniors – Dave Rossi 657; Monday Nevada – Jim Simmons 256, Amanda Klaahsen 581, Lynn Porovich 231/615, Robert Porovich 269, Joe Gorman 267, Irene Deaver 556, Bob Thomas 690; High Rollers – Frank Gaspardi 256; Young at Heart – Dave Rossi 653; Jokers Wild – Steve Feola 267/683, Dan Isam 669; and Umchu Full House – Billy Oliver 260, Mike Silva 254, Kevin Flanagan 696.
The following have been inducted into the "Better Than My Average" club: In Monday Nevada, Joe Gorman was 82 pins over his average with a 267. In Jokers Wild, Steve Drummond was 79 pins over with 215.
Many of the leagues are bowling their Position Rounds and those results will be reported as they become available.
In the Umchu Full House league, Grapes of Wrath (Jennifer Kuriscak, Bert Abreo, Bob Chambers, Jim LeMaster) take their league's first half title with just a one game win.
Lower than average scores were discussed in a recent column and maybe storage of bowling balls could be an issue.
Really cold or really hot balls (like leaving them in your car) do not react the same on the lanes as ball kept in a near constant temperature area, such as at home or in a locker.
It has been recommended to me for many years to bring the ball to near room temperature for best reaction and results.

Is the Financial Strain of Homeownership Worth it?
Buying a home marks the true end of youthhood. You're ready to put down roots now, to establish yourself, to mark your territory. But have you seen what a modest house in a barely decent neighbourhood anywhere even remotely near a metropolitan area costs these days? There is no way you have anywhere near that much money, which means you have to borrow a lot, from the bank. I'm not here to excuse homebuyers who have trouble paying their mortgages, but I think I can at least explain their thinking. The point is that while buying a house is quite clearly a momentous financial exercise, it is very much an emotional one, too.

Police have released photographs of two suspects wanted in connection with Friday's fatal shooting of a 23-year-old Toronto man.
Warrants have been issued for the arrest of Aasif Patel, 19, and Wariskhan Pathan, 19, for the first degree murder of Lorenzo Martinez.
On February 11, police responded to a shooting call at an apartment building at 70 Stevendale Dr.
There, they found Mr. Martinez in the lobby, suffering from an "obvious gunshot wound." Mr. Martinez died en route to the hospital.
Investigators requested that Mr. Patel and Mr. Pathan contact a lawyer and make arrangements to turn themselves in, police said.
Both men are considered armed and dangerous and the police are discouraging people from approaching them.
Investigators ask anyone with information regarding this case – no matter how insignificant it may seem – to contact police at 416-808-7400 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-8477.

Dating Turning Points in the Business Cycle
The author reviews and evaluates procedures for dating peaks and troughs of the business cycle. Five different methods are judged on their historical performance, age of replication, clarity, timeliness, flexibility, and the validity of underlying assumptions. In addition, the author examines the 1990-92 period in detail where two newer dating methods are especially insightful because they use statistically rigorous methods to derive turning point probabilities and, thereby, the inherent uncertainty in the data can be recognized. The author also concludes that additional research is needed on this topic to resolve some important controversies about business-cycle characteristics. Copyright 1994 by University of Chicago Press.

Yesterday's presentation at the Chaos Communication Congress by a handful of researchers brought to light that the use of MD5 for secure computing (digital certificates, SSL, etc) truly is gasping its last breath. A fine summary of the MD5 algorithm and its use by the Certificate Authorities is written up by Scott Merrill here.
Unfortunately, Mr. Merrill makes the same lame excuse for the CA's that most of the software world has made for decades regarding change: "MD5 has been known for some time to be weak against collision attacks, but running a CA is a pretty complex operation, so the entities behind them are slow to change." Pretty complex? When something is broken, profitable security enterprises have the resources to change it (the researchers themselves state that the "affected CAs are switching to SHA-1″). That excuse simply is not valid.
Is this security vulnerability something that we didn't already know about? Heck, a free MD5 crack demo is posted here and a fantastic study and MD5 collision attack source is served here.
The new work is a blow to the internet infrastructure that we depend on for secure communications. For CA's, trust is their business, and some have not been very good at deserving it. The group's work is impactful in that it brings to public light this specific application of md5 cracks. It takes a determined and seriously talented group like this to implement optimized algorithms for this specific application, and handle it properly. Let's hope that their work "stimulates better Internet security with adequate protocols".
Finally, Thomas Ptacek at Matasano made several excellent points about the work. The sky is not falling. Continue about your business on the internet with the same caution.
"If you take everything in the paper at face value, a couple things mitigate this attack:
* The research team had access not only to a cluster of PS3s but to a specially optimized MD5 collision-finding implementation, which they had because Lenstra's team has been playing with a PS3 cluster for awhile.
* The research team had access to a currently-unpublished optimization to (presumably the birthday-bits search part of) the collision-finding algorithm,
* The attack could be made impractical by randomizing the serial numbers for all future certs issued by RapidSSL (and, presumably, by banning MD5)."
Update: Chris Eng similarly laments that the problem never should have happened as a guest opinion posted on the 0day blog.
For those of you interested in the characters/researchers behind the work, Alexander Sotirov recently shared conceptual details and motivations behind it:
"Most of the theory behind our attack was published in the 'Target Collisions for MD5 and Colliding X.509 Certificates for Different Identities' paper in 2007 by Marc Stevens, Benne de Weger and Arjen Lenstra" and that "David Molnar and Jake Appelbaum noticed that RapidSSL was still using MD5 in 2008″.

From the AP: "Robinson appeared in Municipal Court in Seattle, where he pleaded guilty last year to drunken driving. At the time, he was given a five-year sentence that was suspended on condition he not drink or have any other law violations. The former first-round draft pick was then released by the Seattle Seahawks and signed by the Minnesota Vikings. But Robinson was charged with drunk driving again after he was stopped for speeding in August in Minnesota near the Vikings' training camp, leading to Wednesday's hearing.

The fact that the unnamed Oakland coach specifically in charge of replay challenges totally blew an important replay challenge -- in a game the Raiders eventually lost ... after leading by 18 points -- pretty much encapsulates this team's season. Compounding matters, Randy Moss later admitted to Chris Myers that "I'm not concerned about football right now ... I'm loving life." Not exactly what you want to hear from your No. 1 receiver if you're Art Shell.

I guess playing like crap during a nationally broadcast game is not a good idea. The Wisconsin writers were calling for this, and they got it. Seriously, though, was Carroll that bad? I don't mean "was Carroll so bad that they had to take away his starting job and sign Charles Woodson," because the answer to that one is clearly "yes." But unless I'm mistaken, the Packers are on the hook for Carroll's salary for this season. That's a sunk cost. Most teams carry five cornerbacks.

Boy, people in San Diego really aren't happy with Marty Schottenheimer. After Sunday's loss to the Ravens -- which included a second half game plan put together before the invention of the forward pass -- Keenan McCardell admitted to being "a little ticked off" at the play calling. And GM A.J. Smith offered a less-than-ringing-endorsement of Schottenheimer when he said he didn't anticipate any coaching changes this season should the team continue to lose close games.

The Bears beat the Seahawks convincingly on Sunday night, but what's up with all the Rex Grossman-is-Brett Favre references by the NBC crew? We get it, they both play quarterback and make risky decisions. Seriously though, a very impressive performance by the Bears -- especially the running game -- and I'm pretty sure their bandwagon will be taking on passengers this week.

Note: Pardon the gravity. We'll be back
this afternoon tonight with funny stuff.
I. Everyone remembers where they were
On the morning of September 11th, 2001, I was a United States Marine stationed at Twentynine Palms, California. When I woke up, my roommate had the TV on. "They crashed planes into the Twin Towers," he said. I had just woken up; I couldn't understand such a notion. But then, nobody understood.
I got in my car and drove the long dirt road down from our house high on a ridge overlooking the Spartan Mojave base where we worked, listening to the musicless radio, numb, disbelieving. When I arrived at the battalion's scarlet-and-gold cinder block offices, I made my way to the Intel shop — the S-2 officer was the only one in our unit who rated a television set. A crowd of officers and senior NCOs stood around the TV, absorbing the images. Occasionally someone said, "Fuck."
Then the towers fell. More people said "Fuck."
Not long after, Major Slaughter, the aptly named Battalion XO, entered the room. He was a tall man with frosty blue eyes and dark hair speckled with silver, and his massive daily consumption of coffee and Ripped Fuel was terrifying and dangerous. For us. Nobody wanted to be near him when the vein in his temple was throbbing, which was always.
He filled the doorway and loomed over us, hands on his hips. He looked around the room with a faraway look, as if he were trying to determine the source of a faint scent, like leaves burning in autumn or a Memorial Day barbecue. He seemed unimpressed with the goings-on in New York and D.C., as if 110-story skyscrapers crashing to earth in avalanches of steel were something as commonplace as a crow on the side of the road. Then he spoke.
"Get back to work," he said.
II. What the NFL means to America
For a week, the terrorists stopped football. The NFL played no games on the Sunday after the attack, and major league baseball and college football followed suit, cancelling a wide slate of games. Grown men playing sports seemed less appealing when people were buried under rubble on television.
I had to look that up to make sure my memory was correct: I have a hard time believing that anything ever stopped the NFL during its present incarnation as the juggernaut of the American sporting landscape. Just what is it that makes the NFL so popular? Many point to the so-called age of parity, the widespread appeal of fantasy leagues, DirecTV's NFL Sunday ticket, Tagliabue's rock-solid leadership, and a host of other worthy factors.
But I think we love the NFL because it resonates with us at a deeper level. To wit:
I can't be sure of the veracity of a metaphor that works too hard to fit the NFL into America's odd jigsaw, but I want it to be true. We — NFL fans — pour too much of our time, hopes, and thoughts for the League not to have a deeper meaning. NFL fanhood is too emotionally draining to be merely a distraction from life's slow grind. I like it better when I think it makes me a more qualified American.
III. A brief conclusion
I can't tell you how to properly honor the victims of 9/11, but I'll tell you how I'm going to do it. I'm going to revisit that day in my memory, think about the frantic calls to I made to everyone I knew in New York. I'm going to remember the tragedy the way it was, before the invasion of Iraq chipped away at our perspective. I'll probably even spend some time watching other people's reactions to 9/11. After all, the surreal nightmare of that day was something that stopped a roomful of Marines from working, and it was enough for the NFL to take a week off as the nation mourned.
Then, when I've given the subject a fair remembrance, I'm going to once again heed Major Slaughter's advice and get back to work. These football jokes aren't going to write themselves.
