That was up there with the Willis McGahee hit from the 2002 title game and Marcus Lattimore from this last season for worst injuries I've seen. Thoughts and prayers to him and his family
Kevin Ware's Injury
like i said in the other thread:
his injury reminded me of Sid Vicious' horrific career ending injury.( if you haven't seen it, i advise you not to look, and if you do I have given you a warning it is just as bad) which also happened in Indy.
my thoughts are out to kevin ware and his family he's going to need a lot of positive thoughts going his way. hopefully he can come back at some point. godspeed kevin ware.
Yeah, kudos to CBS for not continually showing it. The few times they did was enough. Anyone else can no doubt find it on Youtube. It was brutal. I'm rooting for Louisville just because that has to be tough to see your teammate injured like that. Prayers for him.

Spent ten years in Roanoke, Va as kid after moving from Ohio. Became a huge Skins fan (second only to the Buckeyes).
The Theismann play is horrific for me to this day, you could just sense he was going to go down badly as LT and Leonard Marshall (if I remember correctly) bore down on him.
I just watched the Ware clip, just so sudden and unexpected. Early reports say he'll recover.
The Louisville bench, I swear I think one of those kids just fainted....its one thing to see second hand as most of us have, but up close like that?
Hats off to Rick Pitino, that's no small task to hold the team together after an injury to one of your leaders.

This might be the worst I've ever seen. In football at least there are pads and whatnot to cover it up a bit. This one is openly exposed because they're just in shorts. Heard there were Louisville players on the bench vomiting. I tried to avoid the replays but someone said the shin bone (I'm not in the medical field - tibia?) was exposed. Ugh. I couldn't tell what happened at first but all the reactions made sense when I went back. The Duke player hit the shot and then CBS had the camera on him and he immediately grimaced and put his hand to his mouth. I thought there was like some spray in the air because all the Louisville players just hit the floor and couldn't stand - I didn't have the sound on at the time. Tough one to watch. Thoughts are with the guy, man oh man.
Between the injury and the distressed teammates on the floor, I was sick to my stomach. That was awful. I didn't have the sound on but that didnt matter. I'm rooting for Louisville now just out of respect for that young man (plus I don't rreally have anyone else to root for). I hope those teammates play their heart out for their fallen brother and win it all.
I don't recommend watching it. I saw it and the first time I watched the replay I was horrified.
I always talk about the worst break I have seen was an NFL wide receiver (I thought he was a Raider) was running down the sideline with the ball. He plants his foot and when he picks it back up behind him the shin boke was broken and flopped around behind him and when he went to plant it back down he just crumbled to the ground.
this was worst! Add to the fact it happened right in front of the Louisville bench, which is also on a raised court so it is at eye level of them all, and I didn't see it before but the bone was totally exposed!
Gruesome! Absolutely Gruesome!
I saw a UFO once.......it told me to have a goodyear!
It's not that uncommon for long-limbed individuals (like basketball players) to have small stress fractures due to the length/thickness ratio of the bones and the stresses that they incur during physical activity.
I have to wonder if there was an undiagnosed stress fracture that contributed to the severity of the injury of Kevin Ware ...
I just saw an article on NBCNews.com that a doctor for the Grizzlies (and VP of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons) has the same idea about the cause of the injury - an undiagnosed (preexisting) stress fracture.
I will also add to it that the floors for the tourney are considered too slippery. they say this helps alleviate from having major injuries like ACL tears but does increase the cause of ankle sprains sometimes. I believe when he landed he was so close to the side of the court that his foot must have slid a bit until it hit the less slippery side court. Then momentum and force took care of the rest.
It was just a freak situation all around that could have caused it as well as the undiagnosed injury. These players play a lot over the course of the season and what might just feel like soreness to them could be a small stress fracture.
I really feel it was a combo of many things because that was so horrific and unusual that I am sure one thing didn't cause it.
I saw a UFO once.......it told me to have a goodyear!
Many of you may be too young to remember but Joe Theismann's injury, on a Monday night football game if my memory serves me correctly, is the only injury I have ever witnessed that even came close to this. The instant JT got sacked I had to turn my head from the tv set. It was sickening to see then and again today when Ware went down.
It was quite inspirational to hear after the game how he told teammates to take care of business and get the Cards to Atlanta before ge left the court. The Cards handled that pretty well and were not going to be denied. Best wishes to Ware on a full and complete recovery and to UL in the Final Four. Go Bucks!
Around these parts everyone always talks about the Tim Krumrie injury in the Super Bowl. Personally, one thing that has always got to me was the image of Lattimore's leg last year. I was listening to the game on the radio as I was driving somewhere and so I didn't see the injury. Then CBS at halftime refused to show it and I give them props for that. I did however see it on facebook. It didn't look that terrible at first, then I saw the angle from the other side of the court. Easily, the worst injury I've ever seen. My goodness.
Bob Valvano put a great post on Facebook, kind of about the injury and the emotion and how at the end of the day the players are just kids. I recommend reading it. Anyway, he said, as it happened right in front of the Louisville bench, there were players who were on the bench and got a close up view who basically threw up from what they saw. He said with all the other players on the floor, and the bad angle they had from courtside where they were sitting, some announcers were speculating(not on air) that maybe someone was shooting at the players. I can't imagine witnessing that first hand, and hope I never have to. It must of been horrendous. The Duke player the camera showed said it all to me. He put his hand over his face after seeing it and just kind of was in disbelief.
Here's a link to the Valvano post. It's just a really good read I think.
Don't click on it if you don't want to see it, if you have a weak stomach, or if you're easily upset.
I'm posting it for information's sake; those who missed it can view it below. My thoughts and prayers are with the young man. This is truly horrific.
This is not safe for work, and as Reddit puts it, not safe for life. I am not embedding it due to the sensitive nature of the clip.
View at your own discretion, you have been warned. If any staff/mods want to remove this, feel free. It's strictly for information purposes only, I would generally advise against watching it.
A friend told me long ago that there are some things that you just can't unsee. I think this is one of them, which is why I don't plan on ever watching it. It will go in that little area of things I won't search for on the internet like terrorist beheading videos and 2 girls, 1 cup.
I hope he recovers.
"Because the rules won't let you go for three." - Woody Hayes
THE Ohio State University
I snapped my tib-fib in a football game as a sophomore in high school. The bone came out and my teammates were horrified. I made a full recovery to play my junior and senior years so I have no doubt this young man will make a full recovery as well! I feel so bad for him and am wishing him a full speedy recovery!
This was MUCH worse than McGahee and Latimore.
They play a sport (and a position) where injuries like that can happen any play they are involved in. I have NEVER seen something like this in basketball... Especially when, seemingly, nothing happened to cause it besides an awkward landing.
I am putting this at the top of my list of sports injuries I've seen.
Terrible. Prayers that this kid heals up correctly and can play again.
In my opinion this was worse than just about any other sports injury in history. Only a select few have been as bad as Ware's. I usually don't get too upset when seeing things like this but this one did make me a bit queasy. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family, and hope he makes a speedy recovery. (Btw, howdy guys. New to the site, hope to be here awhile.)
Subject to lasting shock as a result of an emotionally disturbing experience or physical injury.
So 10 years down the road Ware is going to suffer from PTSD or lasting repercussions because of tib-fib fracture from which he will fully recover in a few months? Answer: No.
It was a tib-fib fracture, not a spinal cord injury, nor was there any damage to his brain or nervous system. He will be fine. I had a tib-fib fracture in eigth grade from which my leg above my ankle snapped and went 90 degrees to the turf, I recovered in a few months. Was it nasty? Yes, but hardly traumatic. Of course trauma can be very subjective, so we'll have to agree to disagree.
This was a real bummer to watch. I saw it, then the replay, had to leave the room. Felt terrible for him, felt terrible for his teammates just for having to see it...My wife was crying...this was a definitely gruesome to say the least. Wish him the best.
The world is full of kings & queens who'll blind your eyes & steal your dreams - it's heaven & hell - Ronnie James Dio.
There are many broken bone leg injuries that are more difficult to come back from or not possible to come back from. This just looked horrifying. Example, Bo Jackson's hip injury that looked like nothing when it happened, but ended his football career.
If you've ever have had a broken leg playing sports, you can not watch this or even much less graphic breaks. It brings back terrible memories of terrible pain.
After my football broken leg. In a car accident I split my Femur in half from the top to the bottom 80% of the way down the bone. Also dislocated my hip and broke my Pelvis in 2 places. No external signs of the injuries, unbelievable pain, lucky to walk again, but can not play any physical sports including something as passive as tennis.
Ok, so I completely understand everyone's concern here. However, I do have an opinion. I'm extremely sorry to everyone and 11W about my comment on the picture, but I'm not at all sorry for the picture itself. I feel like way too many of you treat this blog site like it'ssome kind of sacred blog page where you really need to watch what you do or say, or you will be shunned by the power of the downvote. It all seems so silly to me. I look at 11W as an amazing blog to talk to other fellow buckeye fans about the best team in the nation. However, I do not believe our lives should revolve around sports only. I'm 19 and probably the biggest sports fan ever but even I can tell you that. I do NOT worship this website like some of you may. This is sports. Injuries do happen, as the one I posted a picture of above. If it makes you a little queasy, I'm sorry but come on guys, this happens. It is what it is. You can run into something like that in real life and it can't be avoided. They replayed the injury over and over on television and you're going to get all upset when someone posts a picture of a sports injury on a sports website? As a Sports Medicine student at the greatest school in the nation, this picture does not bother me at all. That does NOT mean that I am not in any way sorry for Louisville, Kevin Ware and the pain he suffered through this leg injury. I am so glad his surgery was successful and it turns out that he will be okay. But I feel like we all need to be adults here and not try to pick apart every message and somehow deem it as "unholy to 11W." People, let's be adults. If you want to read and worship something, open your Bible. In the end, this is just a website designed to gather all of us and discuss sports. This isn't just for me, but I sometimes feel that this site tends to be treated as if it's some holy scripture that has its own ten commandments and rules. If you break these rules, you will be downvoted and damned to hell. I'm sure many of you agree.
Edit: And if any of you do have an alternate opinion, please feel free to express it. I don't mind hearing other opinions as long it isn't arguing.
Lol.... you're not that smart. So, we wouldn't have orthopedic surgeons existing either, because nobody finds those kinds of injuries fascinating and we just wouldn't have anybody truly interested in the subject at hand. This argument is getting stupid, just go away.
I do find injuries fascinating. They keep me employed. That being said, there is no reason to post that picture on this site. If you want to discuss it with orthopedic surgeons than take it to the proper place. This isn't it.
Your comment was extremely callous and in very poor taste. From someone who finds recovery in such a life altering event fascinating, learn some tact.
You can keep bringing up the comment I said, but I had already apologized twice for my comment. However, I did say that I find injuries fascinating. I never said I found a personal misfortune of an injury fascinating. There's a big difference, but you can make me out to be a bad person all you want. You guys need lives

LEGOshop.com sale has started
Posted by Huw, 25 Dec 2010 09:39. Filed under shop.LEGO.com (General).
A sale started yesterday afternoon at LEGOshop.com with some 250 items listed both in the UK and USA. However hardly anything decent is actually available and it looks as if it's a bit of a sham. Sets that have long been unavailable like the Grand Carousel and series 1 and 2 figs are listed as being half price but are 'sold out'.
If you're after Duplo or Ben 10 you'll be in luck but all the decent stuff has gone, or was not available to start with in the UK at least. It's slightly better in the USA, however.

Tues-Thurs January 25-27th, 2000
This was a hybrid lake snow event that transformed from a synoptic scale storm to lake enhanced and finally pure lake effect over time. It buried the city of Rochester and its eastern suburbs with over a foot of fluffy snow and was seriously underforecast. This was the second such case in a week and even though it was more of a lake-enhanced event than lake effect one, it will be included in our lake snow season.
A deep synoptic scale snowstorm moved up the Atlantic coast on Tuesday (25th) and Tuesday night with western New York on the western fringe of the system. The back edge of the snow reached the Genesee Valley by late evening and continued across the Finger Lakes through midday Wednesday. Amounts of 3 to 6 inches were common over the counties east of Lake Ontario. However, across the Western Finger Lakes something else was going on.
Here is what the forecasters feel might have happened. An additional subtle deformation zone set up during the wee hours of Wednesday and Wednesday morning across the Finger Lakes as the Upper Low from out west moved across the region and interacted with the western fringe of the coastal storm. The low level NNE flow over Lake Ontario was already "seeded" with moisture from the synoptic scale system and the added heat and moisture flux from Lake Ontario coupled with increasing cold air advection and synoptic scale lift to intensify the snow over Monroe County. Heavy snow fell across northern and eastern Monroe and across much of Wayne county through Wednesday morning before the synoptic scale coastal system pulled east and the airmass began to dry out during the afternoon. Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning "pure" lake effect snowbands developed and affected the area. However, only a few inches at most fell from this "pure" process.
Very little snow fell further west into the Buffalo area with just about an inch of Lake Ontario snow late Tuesday and 1 to 3 inches across Niagara and Orleans counties. Limited Lake Snow accumulated 2 to 4 inches across higher elevations from Wyoming to Chautauqua counties.
The synoptic phase of the event was well predicted...and it was recognized that a few more inches would fall in the Rochester area due to lake enhancement...but the overall scope of the snowfall in that area was underestimated badly.
This pattern...significant lake enhancement south of Lake Ontario across Monroe and Wayne counties...has repeated several times during the past few years. It seems to be most pronounced along the edge of a synoptic precipitation shield...cold advection...and cyclonic low level flow. Also, there is usually a deformation zone nearby. It's a great candidate for further research.
This was a fairly local but significant event which affected a heavily populated area. Therefore..."Eskimo" rates as a 3-Flake storm.
Some representative snowfall totals (including 1-4" synoptic snow):
.Rochester metro...12" city, 16" east suburbs, 6-10" west and south.
.Wayne County...12-18" west and south. 6-12" near lake.
.Ontario county...6-9" north...2-5" south.
.Livingston county...4-7" north...2-4" south.
.Oswego county...8-12" south and central. Less north.
.Lewis and Jefferson...4-8" mostly synoptic.
.Far west...generally 1-3".

I wanted to go ahead and start taking your orders for naturally raised asparagus. It is delicious! We will be selling it for $4.50 per pound. We will probably have a pick up point in Kirksville but I won't be doing house delivery. Next Spring (April/May) will be the first full picking year for the first section and I'm hoping to have around 100 pounds so supplies are limited. When all the patch is in full swing we should have around 400 pounds (2014)
We will notify you that we have received your order. When we surpass 100 p0unds of orders, you will be notified that your order cannot be filled but you will be put on standby in case the crop is larger than expected. All orders will be filled in the order received. Note: As you know, farming is tentative and just because we take orders does not mean we will be able to fill them upon the event of a bad crop or no crop. If there is a partial crop, we will fill those orders starting with the first received until we run out.
Also, I would like to know how many people would be interested in pasture raised Katahdin lamb. I'm not taking orders now but just seeing how many would seriously be interested in ordering a lamb and what weight you would want it to be. Katahdin lamb is very delicious and does not have a strong flavor.
If you are interested in either the asparagus or lamb, please e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com . Let us know how much you would be interested in. Also, if you want asparagus, I will need your name and phone # to contact you when it is ready.
Thank you!

Tomato Crush
Doesn't everyone food crush? Here's a recent fling with tomato juice. It started at our saturday morning breakfast spot. Our waiter had a big icy glass of tomato juice with a lemon wedge stuck to the top. It grabbed me right there and then. The more ice and lemon the better!! A dash of tobasco, maybe? Look at that one eye! It doesn't lie…this is love! Pictures tell all!

TAGGED CollectiveBias, Giveaway, Holiday Gift Ideas, iPad, iPhone/iTouch, Technology
When we met back up with DH, I recounted the story for him and his response was "They're the perfect candidate for an OtterBox." DH had OtterBox on his mind because we just purchased a new Defender series case for my iPhone5.
I'm well aware of the various brands of covers available to protect my electronics. There are both phone and tablet cases that meet a variety of different needs. All my gear is protected. Thank goodness. Apparently I'm not normal. Seems a lot of people I know let their electronic devices run around naked.
What about you? Do you (and your family/friends) think to protect your technology? If you have a friend or relative that has a nice phone or tablet but hasn't taken the precaution or protecting it then wrapping up their tech gear (literally) is a great holiday gift option. As I mentioned previously, the amazing gals at Getting Gorgeous and Party Blu Prints put together an awesome holiday gift guide that includes holiday decorating tips, recipes and some personal input on a variety of great products. OtterBox is on that list. Check it out... you don't even have to leave my blog to read it! Just flip the pages of the holiday e-guide like flipping pages of a magazine.
While I purchased my recent Defender case from OtterBox online, there's actually a good selection of iPhone cases at Walmart so you can pick one (or two, depending on how many relatives you have like mine) while you're doing your other holiday shopping! Last time I was at Walmart, OtterBox had cases for other phones as well as other devices, such as the iPad. The selection of iPhone cases was big enough to warrant its own display! As you can see from the inset picture, the price of the Defender case that I purchased is only $46.88 at Walmart.
If you have relatives like me - or know someone who has a propensity to drop their electronics - then get them the gift of security. Wrap up their technology in an OtterBox.
Now for the awesome news! I'm giving away a code to OtterBox.com to one lucky SahmReviews.com reader! It's easy... just enter via Rafflecopter. Lots of ways to enter, including some daily options. As a bonus, I'm even giving extra entries if you *gasp* enter a giveaway on another blog.

As one of the most impressively talented members of the emerging New Hollywood of the early 21st century, Reese Witherspoon has proven that she can do far more than just pose winsomely for the camera. Born March 22, 1976, in Nashville, TN, Witherspoon was a child model and acted in television commercials from the age of seven. She had a part in the 1991 Lifetime cable movie Wildflower
before making her 1991 film
debut in the coming-of-age story The Man
in the Moon (1991). The 14-year-old
Witherspoon made an immediate impact on
critics and audiences alike, netting
widespread praise for her portrayal of a
tomboy experiencing love for the first
While still in high school, Witherspoon
completed two more feature films, Jack
the Bear (1993), starring Danny De Vito,
and Disney's A Far Off Place (1993),
which required the actress to spend
several months living in the Kalahari
Desert. Following a supporting role in
the 1993 CBS miniseries Return to
Lonesome Dove and a lead in the
critically disembowelled S.F.W.,
Witherspoon temporarily set aside her
career to study English literature at
Stanford University. She then returned
to film as the abused girlfriend of a
psychotic Mark Wahlberg in the thriller
Fear (1996). In the same year, she had
to deal with yet another crazed male in
Freeway, a satirical version of Little
Red Riding Hood in which Witherspoon
co-starred with Kiefer Sutherland, who
took on the role of the aforementioned
crazed male.
Her career began to take off in 1998,
with her roles in two high-profile
films. The first, Twilight, saw her
sharing the screen with Gene Hackman,
Susan Sarandon, and Paul Newman. The
film received mixed reviews and
lackluster box office, but
Pleasantville, her other project that
year, proved to be both a critical and
financial hit. The actress won wide
recognition for her leading role as
Tobey Maguire's overs--ed sister, and
this recognition -- along with critical
respect -- increased the following year
with another leading role, in Alexander
Payne's acclaimed satire Election.
Starring opposite Matthew Broderick,
Witherspoon won raves for her hilarious,
high-strung portrayal of student council
presidential candidate Tracy Flick. The
character stood in stark contrast to the
one Witherspoon subsequently portrayed
in Cruel Intentions, Roger Kumble's
delightfully trashy all-teen update of
Dangerous Liaisons. As the virginal
Annette, Witherspoon was convincing as
the object of Ryan Phillippe's reluctant
affection, perhaps due in part to her
real-life relationship with the actor,
whom she married in June 1999.
After turning up in an amusing minor
role as serial killer Patrick Bateman's
burnt-out yuppie girlfriend in American
Psycho (2000), Witherspoon again pleased
critics and audiences alike with her
decidedly Clueless-esque role in 2001's
Legally Blonde. Her star turn as a
seemingly dimwitted sorority
blonde-turned-Harvard law-school prodigy
unexpectedly shot the featherweight
comedy to number one, despite such heavy
summer contenders as Steven Spielberg's
A.I. and the ominously cast heist
thriller The Score. The
18-million-dollar film went on to gross
nearly 100 million dollars, proving that
Witherspoon had finally arrived as a
box-office draw.
Though she would test out her chops in
the Oscar Wilde adaptation The
Importance of Being Earnest,
Witherspoon's proper follow-up to
Legally Blonde came in the form of
2002's Sweet Home Alabama, a
culture-clash romantic comedy as
embraced by audiences as it was rejected
by critics. As with Drew Barrymore
before her, Witherspoon used her
newfound standing among the Hollywood
elite to start her own production
company, Type A Films, as well as to up
her asking price to the rarefied
15-million-dollar range for the sequel
to Legally Blonde. Though Blonde 2
didn't perform quite as well as the
first film, the power player/doting
mother of two wasted no time in prepping
other projects for the screen, including
an adaptation of Vanity Fair, a Johnny
Cash biopic, and a proposed remake of
Otto Preminger's 1965 psychological
thriller, Bunny Lake Is Missing.

But uhhh... should I wish for manong driver to stop the jeep or the bus, it is almost impossible because my compulsions should not be granted for the expense of others.
Because I can not afford to buy a 4-wheel car for long distance travel, I see to it that I must stay at the window seat whenever I am inside the bus.
Commuting for me is not bad at all because I consider it the most practical way of traveling. But I discovered that for inter-provincial travel, having your own motorbike is the best way ever to travel.
I dared, I took the risk and I tested how far can I go and through this. I proved by myself that it is not dangerous to ply the highway via a motorbike. It is just a matter of experience, discipline on the road and accustomization.
As I drive along the road, I can clearly see the road ahead, the scene at my left and at my right - a thing I can never do while inside a jeep or a bus.
Whenever I see a beautiful river, beach, mountain or simply children smiling along the road, I can afford to stop and capture them because I own my time.
Traveling using a motorbike is also very cheap. For an amount of 130-200pesos, I can town-hop all the way to Laoag City or Pagudpud up north, or to the beaches and surfing destinations of La Union down south, or take the mountain roads to Abra at the east or if you want some extra thrill or challenge, take the Tagudin-Cervantes-Sabangan road going either to Baguio City, Sagada or Bontoc or just the first towns you take as you enter Benguet. That's holy cheap! You can also go all the way to Pangasinan or turn east to Nueva Ecija via Umingan if you want more thrill and fun.
For now, my favorite is to hop to the old churches of Ilocos Sur then exploring all the amazing beaches at it's coastline and have a little climb to it's upland towns.
Just make sure to refill your gas tank everytime or bring a container to store your extra gas if ever the road you are taking has no gasoline stations like what I did when I traversed the Tagudin-Cervantes-Sabangan (Mt. Province) Road.
My parents are also kontrabida because they are not allowing me to do it. At the long run, my friends began to understand my passion and whenever I go they just say "ingat." Except, for my parents, who until now, can not still understand my passion - on which I respect because they just want my safety.
Of course, for motor bikers who love going to places it is always important to observe safety measures such as wearing helmet and other safety gears. Be sure to set your motorcycle also in a good condition to avoid problems along the road.
Traveling via a motorbike, I have the chance to interact with locals, ask for directions or be a part of their daily routine. I have observed how the people harvest their crops and the unique way how they plant rice to the banks of the river. I am immersed with the actual culture of the place and able to witness the basics of their lives.
Traveling via a motorbike has allowed me to experience such things that I will surely never experience when I will just travel with jeepney, bus or airplane. In motorbike, you can have a stop over anytime and you can control your time, a fact that jeepneys, buses and airplanes can not offer to real travelers.
These are just some of the reasons why I love traveling with a motorbike and no one can stop me with this. Have I mentioned it gives me a sense of true freedom?

I was waiting for someone to post a higher quality video of the Barcia-Aranda incident, but it looks like I have to work with this one. Everyone is asking "Oh, what is Eazy's take on Barcia parking Aranda," or something along those lines. I know it was a bullshit move, one that I have personally dealt with. In my book, trying to take someone out when you are a lap down is like getting in a fight with a guy who just got slammed to the ground by Holyfield – all the bad ass motherfucker street cred goes right out the window. You catch up to that bitch, then put him into the stands and hope he takes some of those beret wearing Frenchies with him. As far as Barcia riding away when confronted, it does not really bother me. Getting in fights on the track is kind of for pussies. And BROs, of course. Also, not dealing with the guy or even stopping the bike is like saying "BRO, I don't even know why I'm on the track with you, you are not even on my level." Justin, you straight 2pac'ed that shit. Good looks, BRO.
But for me it was the French role in the whole debacle that had me saying thanking the god of handguns and country music that I am from America. Aranda reportedly "in a show of his frustration laid down on the track hoping to draw a red flag and a restart. Eventually he was pulled off, but not before the pack had to avoid him—there was no red flag anywhere", according to Racer X. Nice, BRO, real nice. Power to the people. That's why France totally kills it on a military, economic, and chick-nailing level. Go make me a sandwich.

A reward of up to $20,000 is being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the case of the Forks Complex wildfires, which have spread to more than 37,000 acres in the past month and a half, officials announced Thursday.
"These fires were a serious threat to private property in the Salmon River drainage, and we are tremendously lucky not to have lost any homes," CalFire Siskiyou Unit Chief Bernie Paul said. "We know these fires were started by human action, and we want to find the person responsible."
CalFire and Klamath National Forest service are contributing $10,000 each to this joint effort.
The service's Fire Information Officer Duane Lyon said that due to the location, sequence and timing of a series of fires that occurred on July 31, investigators have determined they were likely caused by a single party.
"There were a number of fires that were started that night," Lyon said. "We were able to suppress most of them, but three of them grew to what became known as the Butler, Shelly and Boulder fires."
According to a Klamath National Forest release, the seven fires were started between 9 p.m. and 10:30 p.m.
"There's a website that shows all the lightning strikes that occurred in the U.S., and you can zoom in on certain areas," Lyon said. "There was no lightning when these fires started. That led to the conclusion that these were all human caused."
Klamath National Forest Supervisor Patty Grantham said six of the fires originated along a 7-mile stretch of Sawyers Bar Road between Sawyers Bar and Red Bank Campground, but investigators could only suspect arson.
"We've ruled out lightning," she said. "Arson could be the human cause, but we can't rule out a truck with a trailer that's dragging chains."
Grantham said the fires put the community at risk and have cost taxpayers $59 million to fight.
"All that for fires that never should have started in the first place," she said.
While the Shelly and Boulder fires have been in patrol status since Aug. 30, the Butler Fire has continued to spread to 22,457 acres as of 8 a.m. Thursday. Crews have increased containment to 70 percent.
The Corral Complex Fires, sparked by lightning on Aug. 10, had spread to 12,503 acres and were 89 percent contained at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, according to a Six Rivers National Forest release. The same release announced that the estimated containment date had been pushed back to Oct. 2.
Officials are requesting that anyone with information regarding the Forks Complex Fires contact the anonymous Arson Tip Line at 1-800-468-4408.

It is also what Bill Clinton suggested and started after Columbine. POTUS Obama also thinks it is a viable idea as he put such in the list of executive actions he recently signed. I believe it was number 18 on the list.
This idea only seemed to get flack when it was suggested by the NRA. Funny how that works...

A 3d Driving simulator
Master the Skill of Driving Through 3D Driving Simulation
Three-dimensional (3D) driving simulator deals with a software that allow a real driving experience on custom virtual maps. It virtual set up brings the users to undergo various driving situations and road conditions the one could possibly encounter as a real vehicle is used. This is a cunning idea for people who want to safely and practically learn how to drive. It will aid in advancing awareness and familiarity on actual plots that may occur on the road which are displayed with the closest similarity to the real thing. This simulator can be best utilized to hone one's driving skills either after or prior to rehearsal periods.
The 3D driving simulator lets any kind of driver to master the art of safe driving in accordance to driving laws and road rules, which are taught in the sessions as well. The operation of the 3D driving simulator is highly dependent on the learner's desire to learn and what they plan on learning through the virtual experience. Customizing the settings for the 3D driving simulator is allowed such as fixing the gauges as to either a car or a heavy vehicle is manipulated. It surely takes the driver to an ultimate real-life driving practice through the simulated road conditions.
Included in a 3D driving simulator set-up is the 3D map in which the virtual road environment is shown in front of the driver.
Others of its kind is in a surround structure to allow head turning to mimic what real driving requires for neck mobility. The map will pose a location according to how it really looks like in reality. Roads, tunnels, caves, highways and even trees are included in the map. Some software uses specific roads in certain cities scanned similar to Google maps.
Since the 3D driving simulator aims on bringing the driver to an actual driving experience, possible road mishaps are also shown at unexpected or normal circumstances. Such are the appearance of road animals, fogs, snow, slippery roads and other road conditions that could be possibly and realistically present. The 3D driving simulator gives access to simulation driving gauges and controls which will in turn be of good use to let the driver act as realistic as he may without the fear of accidents if ever a mistake is committed. Thus, this is a very safe and ideal way to be adept on driving without the possibilities of harm and injuries.
The 3D driving simulator software keeps track of all the milestones and the progress of the driver's performance on the virtual road. It records good points as well as the mistakes. If any wrong driving actions were done or if there were driving protocols violated, the driver must repetitively go back to that phase until he gets it right. This way, the learner gets the chance to master the skill he might be weak at on driving.
Once he gets it right, it will be an advantage for him in real driving when learning from the 3D driving simulator.

I understand "Technopolies" as a piece of technology, being electronic or by some other means, that is immediately praised and obsorbed throughout the general public, then at some later date, is picked apart by a group of critics or scholars and has all of its downfalls exposed. My favorite example of a "technopoly" is the invention of the hand-held calculator.
This invention may have prevented future generations of math students, especially in most high school where the use of calculators is not prohibited, from learning basic mathematical concepts longhand and caused them to become dependent on the machine. Students today often ask the question, "How did people do these problems without calculators?" This statement seems to prove the fact that todays math students are dependent on the machine to solve problems.
In my opinion, the hand-held calculator is one of the most important inventions of all time. It promotes mathematical perfection. Engineering, Architecture, Algebra, Geometry, Physics, and Calc have all become exact sciences because of this invention. The human mind was doing just fine before the calculator, but some things were still unclear. Now we have computers that assist the human mind in highly technical tasks such as engineering and design. It is still necessary to teach and to learn how to use algebraic functions and equations.
I see technology like the claculator as a natural process of evolution. The human evolved over time, and so has our mathematical and technological abilities. It was only a matter of time before an invention like the calculator came along. Our minds are always evolving. Maybe one day we will out think ourselves and have classes on how to use calculators instead of enrolling in an actual math course, washing away mathmatics and calculation as we see it today.

These are the 6 basic topics you should know about your nutrition. Take 15 minutes to read this information and you will be well prepared to make some crucial decision that will better your performance.
For far more detail we strongly suggest that you read the bible of Sports Endurance Nutrition.
The Endurance Athletes Guide to Success
Once you have this information you can then make a better informed choice.
The 4 main things you must consider.
- The amount of fuel (Kilojoules/calories) required per hour
- Fuel Choices
- Hydration / Electrolytes
- Things you don't want to do.
This fuel plan can be adjusted for the individual racing anywhere from 25 hours to 35 hours or more.
It is crucial that you practice your fuelling plan as much as possible leading up to the race. Everybody is slightly different and adjustments are often required. The information here is given as a guide.
Consumption should be limited to between 250 calories and a maximum of 350 calories / hour (1025 -1435 Kj Approx.) The amount will depend on individual differences in size etc. This amount is the amount of calories you can digest when your body is under stress. Any more than this amount can cause stomach distress.
Our preferred fuel source is Liquid.
- Liquids are easily digestible. Solids will take longer to digest and will take blood away from the working muscles to digest.
- By Taking liquids you can be almost 100% certain of how many calories you are consuming per hour.
- Taking solids you can never be sure on how many calories are being digested per hour.
- Consumption of too many solids can make you feel lethargic and slow you down.
- Hammer Perpetuem is ideal for this purpose ( See website for Mixing Instructions)
Perpetuem is a powder which is mixed into a drink.
We recommend Perpetuem be used for a minimum of 60-70% + of your fuel needs.
Perpetuem contains all the right ingredients (Complex Carbohydrates, Soy Protein and Lipids)
- It is scientifically designed for Endurance exercise lasting longer than 3 hours and up to 2-3 days.
- Perpetuem gives you very stable energy levels over a long period of time without the highs and lows.
- This is exactly what your body needs over this duration. It does not give you the spikes in energy given by simple sugars.
- Perpetuem contains complex carbohydrates, Soy protein and Lipids (type of fat).
- The complex carbohydrates give the consistent stable energy supply
- The soy will help your body stop breaking down its own muscle tissue.
- The Lipids will help release your own fats stores. Fat will be a major contributor to energy demands. The longer you go the more important fat becomes as a fuel source.
- Perpetuem can be mixed into a Multiple Hour Bottle. For example a 3-4 hour bottle can be mixed for between drink stations.
- Perpetuem is a complete source of Energy (No other nutrients are required apart from Hydration/ Electrolytes)
For exact details on Perpetuem.
All Hammer products can be used together. It's a great idea to use some of these other Hammer products to use to break up the monotony of using one product.
- Hammer Bars (230Calories) – a great easy to digest alternative, to break up the consumption of Perpeutem
- Hammer gels (100calories) – Easy to consume Energy Gel.
- H.E.E.D (High Energy Electrolyte Drink – 100 calories scoop) – a mild tasting Energy drink (only uses Complex Carbohydrates) with a good cross section of Electrolytes.
- A complete diet of liquid fuels is possible to complete this event.
- However most will feel the need to eat something solid.
- Make solid food consumption the exception, not the rule
- Choice of solid fuels is crucial and you must always keep calorie content below 350 per
- hour. I.e. eat small amounts of solids at one time.
- Avoid foods which are hard to digest, high in saturated fats, refined sugars etc.
- What you put in your body greatly determines what you get out of it. Remember:
garbage in, garbage out - We strongly recommend that you avoid simple sugars, i.e. lollies, chocolates. These products will provide a quick boost, and then drop your energy levels down below where they started.
The information you will find in these articles below will save you a lot of time and trouble and could possibly make the difference between success and failure.
3. Hydration/Electrolytes.
Proper Hydration is essential for successful completion of the event.
We consider around 590-750 ml / hour to be approx. the right amount.
Both under and over hydration can cause serious problems. Do not count the water contained in a Perpetuem bottle as part of your hydration.
Electrolytes are to the body as like "oil is to car". Over this sort of distance it is crucial to take on extra electrolytes in the right format.
Hammer has 2 ways of providing Electrolytes in the form of Endurolytes or Endurolytes FIZZ. Both are formulated to provide an excellent cross section of Electrolytes. Salt Tablets only contain sodium and Potassium; you will need a full cross section of Electrolytes.
Many variables—body weight, level of fitness, weather conditions, acclimatization level, and biological predisposition—come into play in regards to optimally fulfilling one's personal electrolyte requirements. It is vital that you experiment with a dosage that is suitable to you.
Generally taking approx. 1-3 Endurolytes or ½-3 Endurolytes FIZZ per hour would be sufficient for most.
4. Things you don't want to do.
- Make bad fuel choices. i.e. take products with simple sugars, take caffeine all day long.
- Over consume calories.
- Under or over hydrate.
- Not make a fuelling plan and practise it.

It's not just the UK. Prisons are hotbeds of jihadist indoctrination and inculcation. Any number of thwarted jihad plots in America were the work of prison converts (i.e. here, here and here...) If that weren't bad enough, the vile jihadist hate fomenting in prisons is spreading like wildfire to the ummah at large.
Considering that the prisons are the most fertile breeding ground for converting the disenfranchised and then recruiting the newly devout Muslims to jihad, this is the height of civilizational stupidity. Instead of going to prison to pay one's debt to society, a whole new savage emerges to wreak havoc on the civilized world. What's being done to stop the spread of Islam among the most violent among us?
Jihad from jail: Islamic terrorists using network website MuslimPrisoner.com to preach hatred from behind bars Daily Mail
Not only have they been able to radicalise fellow inmates, they have also appealed to a new generation of supporters around the world.Dozens of unrepentant extremists have been exposed as glorying in their fanaticism and encouraging others to consider further atrocities.
Hatred: The masthead of MuslimPrisoners.com includes images of extremists such as Abu Hamza, centre,
Among them are key figures in almost every major terrorist conspiracy of the past decade, including the July 2005 attacks in London. They include hate cleric Abu Hamza, lone-wolf attacker Roshonara Choudhry and failed BA bomber Rajib Karim.
The inmates have been able to voice their hate-filled opinions via a website apparently run by former members of a banned extremist organisation. Some boasted they were studying extremist material.
News of the security breach sparked outrage and one MP called on the prison authorities to tighten up their systems. It comes at a sensitive time for the Government in the aftermath of the decision to release hate preacher Abu Qatada.
Steve McCabe, a Labour MP who sits on the Home Affairs Committee, said some of the material 'sounds dangerously close to incitement'.
He said: 'If the prison authorities claim they are monitoring and censoring material, then they are clearly not doing it effectively. It's time the regime was tightened up.'
At the centre of the scandal is a website, www.muslimprisoners.com, which offers to forward letters to more than 50 Muslim prisoners and display their replies. Transcripts of dozens of letters were posted as the website became a key information exchange and networking point for extremist sympathisers. The website offers advice on getting letters and presents to inmates.
One letter is written by Abdulla Ahmed Ali, the ringleader of a plot to blow up transatlantic airliners with liquid bombs. Ali, serving a 40-year sentence, hails the Taliban and says Muslims should 'sacrifice their lives and limbs' against the West.
The website also includes a list of high-profile Muslim inmates and the prison in which they are held. It is registered to the same address as the East London Mosque, which once hosted lectures by Al Qaeda terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki.

Mr Frohmaier 28/11/11 "A short note to thank you for the delivery of our table. When we first saw this table we knew this was the one we had been searching for, I was therefore delighted to track you down. You couldn't have been more helpful in answering questions and helping us out with ordering and delivery. The table looks absolutely fantastic and finishes off the kitchen. The colour is perfect and it was delivered in double quick time. I would thoroughly recommend that you publicise this set as much as possible because there is very little competition in the market for you in terms of quality,size and design.
In any event I will certainly be very happy to recommend Con-tempo to anyone who asks and who knows we may well be back to you when we get around to some other rooms"
Mrs Ross 09/12/2011 "Chairs arrived yesterday. I can't tell you how delighted I am with them - my husband had put them round the table and I couldn't pick out the new ones.

I just want to express my excitement over the large number of people that turned out for Tuesday night's caucuses. Regardless of the party people chose to support, seeing that many people participating in the democratic process was inspiring. I truly believe the rights to vote and to let our voices be heard are the greatest privileges we have as Americans, and to see so many of my neighbors exercising those rights was really exciting. I hope the support stays strong through November, because every vote counts, and, as individuals, we can make a difference!

Stay in touch during the session
I want to thank all of the people who attended my town hall meetings this past Saturday. I really enjoyed our discussions and the feedback you gave me, and consider your questions and suggestions to be very valuable. As I start soon in St Paul, I will definitely keep your comments and input foremost in my mind.
I also want to thank those of you who filled in my legislative survey on Saturday. This, too, provides me with very valuable information on what is important to you. You can also fill out my survey at my web site at www.voteforward.net.
I want to encourage you all to please stay in touch with me during the session. I appreciate and feel truly blessed to be able to represent you in St. Paul. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity.

Treating people equally
This is by no means a personal grudge on anyone or anything, but more a voicing of the hard truths that no one else has the ambition to mention. Speaking from not only personal experience but also the fact that I see it happen every day to friends and persons I haven't even met alike.
I think it's very comical but also unfair every day when I look in the paper and see all these ads for jobs with the letters eoe at the end. As we all know, that stands for equal opportunity employer but to be completely honest, you may as well print at the end of your ad, "don't bother applying if you have any sort of record." There is no doubt in my mind that there are those types of people in this world that have records and will continue to add to them in which case they may not deserve certain jobs but, there are also those of us that maybe had one slip-up by our own fault or others that want to make things right and make a contribution to our community. Speaking personally as one of the latter, or so I would like to think, it is very unfair and downright embarrassing to have to tell your friends, family, or significant other that "you didn't get the job because of your record again."
All in all I guess I'm just trying to point out the blatant discrimination that is happening not only here but all over our country. Not discrimination towards race, religious beliefs or even sexual preference but towards those of us who strolled down the wrong path once. I can sit in a room and look at everyone straight in the eye and ninety percent of the time Iwouldn't be able to tell you who has a record and who doesn't. I wish the rest of the world would see it that way.

Bring back Jack Benny, Bob Hope
Recently Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League appeared on Fox News venting his frustrations with Bill Maher and his remarks on his HBO Friday program. One remark was in essence, "There is a far greater possibility that UFO's exist than God or Jesus. I'm sure the first thing that will pop up in some people's mind is, "Boy, those Christians sure have thin skin!" If you are not aware - in today's "New Age" persecution of Christians is on a dramatic rise. Yet, those who dare say unkind words about gays or lesbians, females or black people have found themselves in hot water up to their ears along with the possibility of losing their jobs, lawsuits or both. It matters not how ugly, obscene or demeaning Maher's remarks about Christians are. He is protected under the umbrella of free speech and the producers of his show evidently could care less.
Whatever happened to shows like George Burns and Gracie Allen or Bob Hope (although his jokes could be risque at times) and Jack Benny, who when asked the question "Your money or your life" would stand with no expression on his face and after a long pause would say "I'm thinking" and would have people roaring with laughter. Simplistic? Yes, there was a time when fun was clean and, not like today, with so-called comedians or comediennes who think by grabbing a body part of speaking of bodily functions or using the names of God and Jesus in vulgar terms in order to get people to laugh, have taken comedy down into the sewer. But, have you noticed one religion which Hollywood and TV stars handle with kid gloves...Muslims and the Quran! Will we continue to cower in corners too afraid to speak out? Peace, but at what price?

Planned Parenthood unchained
What motivated my friend in the Twin Cities to participate in the "March For Life" pro-life rally on Jan. 22? Was it because her younger sister, a high school student, received an unsolicited postcard from an abortion clinic in Dakota County offering its services?
These postcards went to many juvenile females at her school listing various confidential services offered to her and her partner - if she has one. The clinic also advertised its gift shop with some products that promote sexual promiscuity in my view.
When this student's mom called the Planned Parenthood abortion clinic to complain, they agreed to take her name off the mailing list. What list? Did someone at her school provide a list of prospective female customers to Planned Parenthood? Isn't that against our state law? Is targeting our teenagers with this ad campaign only the first step for pro-abortion forces to recruit more soldiers in their war against the unborn? God help our children! Vote Republican.

text: 000 FXUS63 KLSX 031754 AFDLSX AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO 1154 AM CST Tue Dec 3 2013 .SHORT TERM: (Through Late This Afternoon) Issued at 359 AM CST Tue Dec 3 2013 Main concern through mid morning is dense fog. I have expanded the dense fog advisory to include all of the area except the far east until 10 am. Visibilities have been varying most of the night, however there has been a general decline the past two hours. These sites include SET and a few in the metro east, those in Southwest Illinois including Sparta and Carbondale and southeast Missouri. There is also a large area of fog over southwest and south central Missouri that is expanding rapidly northeastward. Not sure how widespread the fog will be this morning, however there will be enough areas of dense fog to warrant an advisory. Surface winds will begin to increase later this morning as pressure gradient tights. Still expect a significant warm up this afternoon with the strong warm air advection this afternoon. Kept with going high temperatures which are supported by mixing down 900mb temperatures. Britt .LONG TERM: (Tonight through Monday) Issued at 359 AM CST Tue Dec 3 2013 Primary concern this morning remains the pending wintry weather for Thursday and Friday so will focus most of this discussion on that period. The ingredients are coming together...and model guidance is coming into better agreement visa-vis the initial fropa Wednesday. Leading up to Thursday: a strong shortwave rotating south along the northwest coast of the U.S. will dive down across the west coast into the Desert Southwest. This will amplify the flow allowing very cold air from southwest Canada to move down the east side of the Rockies into the High Plains. Lee side cyclogenesis will occur over the Plains tonight and a strong low will ride up the resulting baroclinic zone between the arctic air over the northern Plains and the warmer air to the south. The resulting cold front will barrel through the area Wednesday. Used a blend of guidance to attempt to nail down the temperature trends Wednesday, and the end results are a slightly slower and warmer solution than the previous forecast. Still think there might be some rain showers along and ahead of the front, but any precip will be light and isolated due to a strong cap. As the longwave trof deepens over the southwestern U.S. on Wednesday it will pick up a cutoff low now sitting about 1100 miles southwest of San Diego. The vorticity from this cutoff will ride up over the Baja Peninsula early Wednesday evening and cross Mexico overnight, emerging across west Texas around 12Z Thursday. This is the energy which will produce our wintry precip Thursday. This wave of vorticity will not be sampled by our upper air network until Thursday morning...so my confidence in details of Thursday`s forecast is low. Much will depend on the track of the wave as it moves rapidly northeast across the area and how deep the cold air will be when precipitation is occurring. Used a combination of partial thickness forecasts and model soundings to forecast precip type, leaning toward the NAM which typically handles shallow arctic airmasses better. Generally speaking, the predominant precip type should be snow north of I-70, along and 30 miles south of I-70 a mix of sleet and snow should occur, with sleet and freezing rain further south across the Eastern Ozarks. The precipitation will slowly trend toward more sleet and snow through Thursday into Thursday night as cold air deepens. The accumulation forecast is complicated by the mixed precip and the speed with which the wave will be moving. There remains little or no low level thermodynamic forcing, this looks to be all mid and upper level synoptic lift. Think the precip will generally be light, beginning in the late morning or early afternoon and taper off over most of the area by mid to late evening. Precip may linger longer over the eastern Ozarks. 1-3 inches of a mix of sleet and snow looks like good first estimate along and north of I-44 with around 0.1 inch of freezing rain topped off by a little sleet and snow over the eastern Ozarks. Once again...let me stress that this is this is low confidence since we won`t be sampling the wave until it crosses into Texas Thursday morning. Another wave of vorticity will eject northeast from the base of the longwave trof on Friday. This will be the second wave of wintry precip we will have to contend with before the weekend. Precip type should be less of an issue as cold air will be deep enough for all snow across all but far southeast Missouri. The NAM is coming in with a potential for more mixed precip in those areas with a warm nose in the forecast soundings between 850mb and 750mb. For the moment, have kept an all snow forecast going, since the NAM is just starting to get out to that time range. In addition to the upper level support, there may be a lower level thermodynamic component to Friday`s precip. There is a stronger low level reflection of the shortwave which moves across Arkansas into the Tennessee Valley Friday. Both the NAM and GFS show substantial low level moisture convergence ahead of this low...and this will definitely enhance lift and precipitation efficiency. The GFS is further south keeping this thermodynamic component out of the area...but the NAM pushes it up into southeast Missouri and southern Illinois. For now, have stayed the course and kept chance to likely pops and, as mentioned before, all snow. Remainder of the forecast looks cold. Temperatures should be well below normal with arctic air locked over the region. There is still a chance for light precip (most likely snow) as low level warm advection ramps up in response to the longwave trof finally de-amplifies and moves east into the Great Plains. Boundary layer air will be so dry due to the arctic airmass locked in over the region that any additional snowfall amounts should be light. Carney && .AVIATION: (For the 18z TAFs through 18z Wednesday Afternoon) Issued at 1045 AM CST Tue Dec 3 2013 Stratus and fog is beginning to clear out of swrn MO late this mrng and this trend should continue this aftn with COU likely clearing out just after 18Z today, and the stratus clouds in the St Louis metro area likely scattering out early this aftn. S-sely sfc winds will continue through the forecast period ahead of the approaching sfc low and cold front. The wind speeds will weaken some this evng, then pick up again by late Wednesday mrng. Despite relatively strong swly low level winds tgt, stratus clouds along with at least light fog can be expected to redevelop late tgt and continue for most of Wednesday mrng. With waa late tgt and Wednesday mrng along with the very moist sfc/boundary layer could not rule out some patchy drizzle along with the fog. The models do indicate some very light qpf, although this may just be a reflection of the very moist sfc/boundary layer. Specifics for KSTL: The cloud ceiling should continue to gradually rise early this aftn, then the stratus clouds will scatter out due to drying from the west. The stratus and fog should redevelop late tgt. Could not rule out a little patchy drizzle late tgt/early Wednesday mrng.
